Creating a PD file from MS Word (2007) document

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro (as part of CS3) and MS Word 2007 (as part of Office 2007)and have been trying to create a PDF file from a word document.
Here are the steps I have taken:
Open Word document and then click the "Acrobat" Tab.
Then click "Create PDF" tab
In the dialog box that appears I selected "Fully Fucntional PDF" and clicked OK
I get the following message: "PDFMaker cannot locate the Adobe PDF Printer's printer driver. Please re-install Adobe Acrobat 8.0."
So I re-installed Adobe CS3 (which contains Acrobat 8 Pro). This did not solve the problem.
I repeated the whole process again this time selecting "Quick and simple PDF" and clicked OK. This time a PDF file was created.
My question is - why can't I create a "Fully Functional PDF" file? Is there something wrong or do I need some higher level version of Acrobat?
Looking forward to some advice. Thanks. Alan

Look in the printer list to be sure that the Adobe PDF printer is loaded. Also, go to the Adobe.com>download>updates and download all of the updates for AA8 and install them in order (don't try to skip unless the site says you can). The current version is AA8.1.3. That might solve the problem. It may be that you need at least AA8.1.2 to work properly with WORD 2007. There were a lot of problems with the initial release.

  • Pdfmaker changes my pagination from my Word 2007 document

    When I use pdfmaker in Word 2007 it changes the pagination from my Word document.  For example, the first page of my document ends up being 2 pages when I convert the file (text shifts).  If I just do file > print > Adobe PDF, the file looks exactly like the Word document.  The problem with that though is I need my table of contents linked and then I have to do that manually.  I've set my default printer to Adobe PDF, but it still doesn't make a difference.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    What version and update of Acrobat? It might be a simple update of Acrobat will do the trick. I am not why PDF Maker would be different, but PDF Maker is no longer a preprocessor for the Adobe PDF printer with AA9. Thus there may indeed be an issue -- probably related to the link embedding. You might try unchecking all of the options in PDF Maker and seeing if you get a good result. If so, then put things back in until it breaks. Not the best solution, but maybe a useful workaround.

  • Create a pfd file from a word 2004 file containing multiple Sections.

    I just got a macbook pro, installed office 2004 and acrobat pro 8.1. However, when I want to print - using PDF 8.9 printer driver - a word file with multiple sections in it, I cannot get the full document in the pdf file but only the last Section.
    Some sections are portraits and others are landscapes.
    Any idea what is happening? Tried to play with various set-up but nothing works...... Help!

    Thanks, however, I tried and it does not work. Also I correct the printer driver is 8.0 not 8.9. I tried both ways you mentionned but I get the pdf files in multiple sections (one file per section), cannot get a full file with all sections at once.

  • Creating an epub file from a Framemaker 10 document

    Are there special tools I have to have to turn a Framemaker document into an epub file format?
    Thank you.

    I did some experimenting with this a few months ago.
    The basis of the epub format is XHTML. There are free tools (such as Calibre) that do a good job converting from (X)HTML to epub (and other e-book formats).
    If you have one book to do it is probably quickest just to grab the text and reformat with an HTML editor, then process with Calibre or similar.
    Using other tools, such as Robohelp, MIF2Go, or FrameMaker’s built-in Save as HTML, would take some time to set up properly, and would therefore be worthwhile if you had a number of books to do that were similarly constructed.
    If planning for the future it might be worth considering using XHTML as the base format (i.e. finalising the text in this form) and repurposing either to epub or to print via FrameMaker, or both, as required.
    That was my conclusion, at any rate. You need to look at it in your own context, of course.

  • Bloated pdf File from Macintosh Word?

    When creating a pdf file from a Word file on a Mac the file size becomes huge.  The same file converted to pdf using Acrobat on a Windows machine results in a much smaller file.  For example  I wrote a two page letter that included several photos:
    Original file size: 12.9 MB
    pdf created by Acrobat on Windows PC:  227 KB
    pdf created by Acrobat on Mac (OSX10.10): 61.1 MB
    pdf created by Mac: 61.2 MB
    What the heck is going on?
    Thanks.

    Dov:
    I have a trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI installed.  I created the pdf files 4 different ways:
    1)  On my PC I used the "Print" menu then printed using the Adobe Acrobat option.  Result: file size = 221 KB
    2)  On my Mac I used Acrobat, selected "Create pdf" from the "File" menu, selected the Word document, and clicked "Save".  Result: file size = 61.1 MB
    3)  Also on my Mac I opened MS Word, selected "Print" then created a pdf using the "Save as pdf" open:  Result:  file size = 61.2 MB
    4)  Just now I tried the method you suggested.  From within Word I selected "Print" then "Save as Adobe pdf" from the print menu.  Result:  file size = 209 KB.
    It worked great.  The "Create pdf" in the "File" menu was the problem.  Thank you so much.

  • Why can I not create pdf files from MS Word documents?

    I'm using Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.5), and Microsoft Word 2007:  I've noticed just recently that, whenever I try to create a pdf file - from within Microsoft Word - I get a message:  Word has stopped working"....  and then the word program crashes.   Then I get a message that says the adobe add-in isn't working and recommends that I disable it.   This is extremely frustrating!  I've tried going into Acrobat directly to create the pdf, to no avail.  I've tried utilizing the "Repair Acrobat Installation" and that doesn't seem to work either.
    The only thing I've noticed which might have caused this problem is I just recently updated Adobe Reader - is there some "conflict" going on between having these two Adobe products installed on the same Computer?

  • User is having a save issue with Word 2007 documents created from a template.

    I have 1 particular user, out of approx. 30, that is experiencing an intermittent problem when trying to save a Word 2007 document to a network drive.  The particular error is
    "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error. (xxx.docx)"  CTRL-SHIFT-I Error Code is: 701743
    This only happens while he is working in a document created from a template (.dotm) file I made a few months ago.  The problem has never occurred with any other Word docs or Excel, or any of the other users accessing the template to create documents. He
    also gets an error message stating
    "xxx.docx cannot be found.  Check your spelling, or try a different path."  CTRL-SHIFT-I Error Code is: 200635
    But this only occurs when trying to "Save As"  The odd thing is that if he renames the file to something like xxx1.docx, it will allow him to save on the network folder with no issues.  And as mentioned, this is intermittent - he may go weeks without
    seeing the message while doing nothing different.
    I have tried search for similar issues in the forums but they don't seem to match exactly what is happening to us.  Our 3-man IT department seems to be at a loss and I have had good luck solving other issues in this forum so I thought I would give it
    a try.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Creating Post Script File from Word Document

    Hi How to create a Ps File from Word document.. Is there any api to do this ?
    ~Arjun

    (1) It is
    PostScript, not
    Post Script or
    Ps!
    (2) To create PostScript from a Microsoft Word document, you simply open such a document in Microsoft Word and print to a PostScript printer driver instance, but chose the
    Print to file option. Note that since PostScript from drivers is device-dependent, you do need to choose a PostScript printer driver instance very carefully based on a PPD that has few device dependencies.

  • Acrobat X 10.02 crashes when converting Word 2007 document wiht linked Visio file.

    Acrobat X 10.02 crashes when converting Word 2007 document with linked Visio file and causes a C++ runtime error in Word and crashes Word.
    To see the behavior create a short Word 2007 document with a linked Visio file (e.g., create a Visio file with one box and text and insert it as a link into a Word docx).
    No problem in Acrobat 9

    There may be some of an issue with AA X on this, but part of the blame probably goes to MS also. I would suggest you simply clip the graphic from VISIO as a vector graphic (EMF will be used by default) and not do the link and do not embed the VISIO object. The linking and use of embedded objects in WORD 2007 seems to have been a major problem and is mostly a MS issue.
