PDF to Word 2007

Hello I am trying to convert a PDF to Word 2007 in an editable format while retaining the original layout of the PDF.  I have downloaded a lot of different free options online that have simply pasted the PDF into word as an image instead of a .doc
Can anyone help me with this?

If you want it done properly obtain Acrobat X (Standard or Pro).
Either supports save as / export to MS Word.
You can obtain a free 30-day trial of Acrobat X Pro at:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=en
Alternatively you could subscribe to Adobe's online service ExportPDF.

  • Why won't copy/paste images appear in PDF (from Word 2007)?

    I find all places in a Word 2007 document where content copied from Power Point 2007 and then pasted into a Word 2007 document does not appear in the subsequent PDF file I generate. White space of the same size as the pasted content appears in its place. Why is this happening and are there any suggestions to work around this issue? What is curious is the free PDF creation tool that you can use to generate a PDF within Word 2007 (by choosing file save-as PDF) does NOT have this same issue. I don't want to use Word's tool since it doesn't allow for the option settings flexibility I need to produce the final PDF.
    I already tried saving the Word file as XML and then re-saving as Word .docx and regenerating the PDF from Acrobat: the graphics are still missing. I also tried in Acrobat Help> Repair Installation and then shut down/restarted my computer. Again, the regenerated PDF is missing the graphics.
    Personally, I do not use a copy/paste method; rather, I use insert>picture>from file or paste special as a grphic file type. I know the same graphics placed this way come out fine in a PDF I generate from Acrobat. However, I support a bunch of engineers who make copy/paste a shortcut habit. I will have no luck telling them not to do this.
    I appreciate any help with this.

    Preferences in Acrobat reader under Page Display are already set to Show Large Images. I assume that is the setting you mentioned.
    I don't know of any setting in Word 2007 that would make a difference. Does anyone else have work around suggestions?

  • Acrobat Pro 9.1 no longer creates PDFs from Word 2007

    I upgraded from Acrobat 7 to 9 specifically to gain more control over settings when making PDFs from Word 2007. This worked as I had hoped until the 9.1 vulnerability upgrade was installed. Now it will no longer create PDFs from Word 2007 documents at all.
    From within Word 2007, when I click on "Create PDF" (whether in the Office menu or Acrobat toolbar) it asks for a file name, but after I click "Save" does nothing. This is true even for the simplest possible document, using the "Default" settings for PDF "Preferences."
    If I right click the file name of the document in Windows Explorer, with Word 2007 closed, and click on "Convert to Adobe PDF" in the menu, it starts and the staus box comes up, but after a few seconds quits and displays "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable produce the Adobe PDF."
    I can still "Save As" PDF in Word 2007, but this gives me little control over the format.
    Is there any way that I can get Acobat 9.1 to do what I bought it for, and what Adobe advertises it will do?

    Try printing to the Adobe PDF printer, the more fundamental process (PDF Maker is a preprocessor for the printer). If that does not work, then try with print-to-file selected. Open the file in Distiller and see if the PDF is created. If the latter happens, then check for AcroTray running in the background. It is required to automate the process and is needed by PDF Maker.

  • Creating PDF in Word 2007 creates horizontal line

    Hello,
    This is my first post in this forum. In general, I have not had problems creating PDFs from Word 2003, or from Word 2007 - from either .doc or .docx documents.
    Yesterday, with one document, when I created a PDF, a centered horizontal line kept appearing near the top of the first 2 pages. These 2 pages
    have no header content. This line is NOT in the Word document. The rest of the PDF appears normal - with its normal header content.
    I think the problem is within Word 2007 (what a surprise!) because I can eliminate the problem by printing a .ps file of the Word doc and then
    distilling it.  The only problems with that method are that (1) It's more time-consuming, and - more important -  (2) the bookmarks are not
    automatically created. So, to create bookmarks manually takes even more time, and I don't know how to create the hyperlinks from the TOC
    (or even if that's possible).
    Any idea what's going on?  I tried making PDFs of some other user
    guides (same doc template), and they are fine.
    Many thanks!

    Hi again Raechel,
    It's such fun dealing with Word and "Microsloth", isn't it?!  IMHO, they
    should have left Office alone at the 2003 (or 2002?) versions.... Even at
    2000, styles were easier to deal with!
    Especially after using Madcap Flare for a few years, going back to Word is
    especially torturous.  I go back and forth from one to the other,
    depending on what I'm working on - product-wise or document-wise.
    Your Word certainly may have gotten corrupted, but even if that's not the
    case -- Word is still buggy as hell (forgive the minor expletive)!!
    Glad you made your printing deadline!!

    Creating PDF in Word 2007 creates horizontal line
    Melanie,
    I read your post, and decided to spend my evening figuring out what was
    going on.  You are right about it being related to the lines in the header
    and footers, but as my document had no headers and footers, I found that
    odd.  I tried to edit the styles without success.  Now isn't that odd,
    too?
    I had to delete the header and footer styles from my document in order
    to
    get rid of the lines.  I suspect my copy of Word became corrupted as I
    madly
    edited several documents, all with photos.  As my adult son pointed out,
    "well, they don't put their top programmers on Word, after all."  I
    checked
    my memory utilization, and it appears that Word isn't cleaning up after
    itself very well, so it loses track of some of its objects, and things get
    out of synch.
    Well, in the end I managed to re-produce my document, which is good,
    because
    it had to go to the printer last night before midnight, and it got there
    at
    11:40.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Printing a PDF from Word 2007

    Good Day, I have checked several forums and the help file, but I can't seem to get a straight answer on this issue. 
    Our office creates many documents in Microsoft Word 2007 that contain both typed text AND images.  For example, I have a document with a summary section and then a .jpg of an event from Facebook.  We usually Print the document using Adobe PDF and the resulting PDF is searchable with the Find tool.  The problem is that the images contain text and we want that to be searchable as well.  I found posts saying to take the PDF and Print it again as an image and then run the Recognize Text tool.  I have tried this and it does indeed work, although the resulting PDF is grainy looking (even at 600 dpi).
    What I would like to know is if there is a way to get the images to be searchable during the conversion from Word to PDF. I could educate my co-workers on how to do this and save the trouble of having to touch each document more than once. Also, I do not like the graininess of the image nor the extra steps involved to convert each document.  It will require a lot more hands on maintenance than I have time for.  We are on Windows 7.
    Any assistance or clues you can provide on this topic would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance, Paula C.

    Any work to make the images searchable should be done BEFORE putting them in Word. It is far too late once the PDF is made because you will destroy the good work that Word did in preparing the PDF in the first place.
    Sadly it's far from clear how you'd do that. About the only format you could use to hold OCRd images would be EPS, and I've never heard of "OCR to EPS" software.

  • Save as PDF from Word 2007 missing graphics

    A similar question has been asked before, but it's still marked "unanswered" and I still don't know what's going on. All I really wanted to do today was update my resume...
    Sometime during the last two months of 2014, I lost the ability to see graphics like text boxes and images when saving a Word 2007 document as a PDF. I've tried saving it from the "Save As..." option, I've tried saving it from the Acrobat tab, I've tried printing it to PDF - nothing works. If you can visualize this, on the first PDF, a blank space shows up in place of the text box, and on the other PDF, you'd never even know there had been an image inserted at the beginning of the line.
    Does anyone know if this is a Word problem or an Adobe problem? Has an otherwise well-intentioned update (to either program) screwed this up? I'm using Windows 7 and the Firefox browser.

    Are they really missing or there are place holders there? Have you gone to the preferences and turned on View Large Images? As an unrelated comment, do you really want images in a resume? Maybe if you are a graphic artist or such, but images are not common in most resumes I have seen and I would not expect such. However, that is really your choice, just wanted to comment.

  • Fast Web View breaking links/bookmarks in PDFs from Word 2007

    I'm running Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 on WinXP, and I recently noticed an issue with PDFs that I'm creating from Word 2007. If I turn on the setting "Save As optimizes for Fast Web View," any links or bookmarks in the file break when I do a Save As. If I turn the setting back off, Save As doesn't break them.
    I had had problems creating the PDFs using the PDFMaker plug-in for Word, so I used the Save As PDF or XPS feature from Microsoft instead.
    PDFs created using FrameMaker are not giving me problems.
    I don't know whether this is related, but the Settings button on the Save As dialog box is no longer active. I'm sure I was able to click it before, but I can't now. And that goes for PDFs from Word or FrameMaker.
    Anyone have any clues?
    ===========================================
    Rick Henkel

    This is related to a bug in the direct PDF output from Word 2007. I was told that Microsoft has fixed this bug in the final SP2 release (so when the service pack becomes available, this problem will not be present).
    Until then, the workaround is indeed to turn off the "Save As optimizes for Fast Web View" preference in Acrobat (Edit > Preferences > Documents, under Save Settings).

  • Italic headings when saving as PDF in Word 2007. Don't want italic headings...

    I'm using the Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin for Word 2007. After months of successful 'Save As - PDF or XML', my PDFs are suddenly displaying italic headings: h1, h2, h3, h4, etc. My Word source file has regular headings just as intended.
    If I elect to print the doc - instead of Save As - and select Adobe PDF as the printer, the PDF is fine, no italic headings, but the reason we started using the Addin is because the conversion to PDF using print broke all of our hyperlinks.
    Anyone have a clue why my headings are being converted to italic using the Acrobat Addin in Word 2007?
    Any clue why using the print PDF would break our hyperlinks?
    Thanks in advance,
    Eric

    Hello AbhigyanModi.
    Thanks for the reply. I finally solved that problem I was having with all myheadings displaying in italics in the PDFs generated from Word 2007. It's related to Service Pack 3 on Windows XP.
    Microsoft includes an update to the Arial Black font (v2.40) with SP3. This new font is the root of this particular problem. The fix is to delete the new font and replace it with the old font, which is saved in an uninstall backup file.
    Go to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts and delete the Arial Black file: ariblk.ttf (v2.40).
    Go to C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$, find ariblk.ttf (v2.35), and copy and paste it into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts
    It doesn't seem to affect everybody who uses XP SP3, but if they wake up one day with the problem where there had never been a problem before  - like I did - that's the fix.

  • PDF from Word 2007 ends up with scrambled Chinese characters

    I have a problem with PDF files when converted from a Word 2007 document that includes Traditional Chinese characters and I hope someone might be able to help or point me in the right direction. After converting it to PDF via "Create PDF" from the Acrobat toolbar, the Chinese characters are all wrong. It looks like Chinese but none of the characters actually exist, it's all scrambled and useless. Converting English or German text works fine, so far, it's only the Traditional Chinese text that causes problems.
    The strange thing is that prior to installing Office 2007, all worked just fine. I could convert Chinese text from Word 2003 without any problems and other than updating to Word 2007, nothing has changed. Any idea where to start trouble shooting and how to fix it? I've already tried re-installing and reparing both Word and Acrobat but no improvement.
    OS: WinXP Professional SP3 (English system)
    Adobe: Master Collection CS4 (English)
    Acrobat: Acrobat 9 Pro v9.1.3 (English)
    PDF Maker: Conversion Settings are set to default "Smallest File Size Web"
    Word: Microsoft Office Word 2007 (12.0.6504.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000)
    Note: Using "Save As" and select "PDF or XPS" in Word 2007 works fine, the Chinese characters show up properly in the PDF file but I prefer using the PDF Maker from Acrobat to create my PDF files.

    I have found that WORD 2007, particularly with docx files, does some strange things to PDF files that you produce. It seems to break a perfectly good graphic into parts and send the parts to the PDF (not usually a problem unless you zoom in). We have tested with AA8 and AA7 with WORD 2007 and gotten these results. WORD 2003 worked like expected. It is almost as though MS decided to put some hooks in OFFICE 2007 for Acrobat. Normally with Acrobat, the graphics come out as a single graphic as stored in the application.
    Glad you got the character issue to work. I use a job.settings file that is distributed by a publisher to get an "optimized" form of product for posting. Of course, optimized is always in the eye of the beholder, but I have been happy with it.

  • Shapes, Smart Art not showing in PDF from Word 2007

    Hi,
    I am having a strange problem. When I convert my Word 2007 document to PDF using Acrobat PDF, all the shapes and smart art that I created in Word 2007 is not appearing in the PDF.
    However, when I am converting either Microsoft Powerpoint or Microsoft Excel 2007 to PDF, the shapes and smart art are coming properly.
    Can anyone please help me. It is really really urgent for me.
    Regards,
    Ashish Agarwal

    How are you converting your document?  Try another way.  You can convert it by going to the Acrobat ribbon, or by printing it to Adobe PDF (just like you would to a normal printer but select Adobe PDF) or from within Acrobat (File>Create PDF>From File).  If this doesn't fix it try changing the PDF settings used to create it, e.g. smallest file size, Press Quality etc.

  • Converting a PDF to Word 2007

    I need to convert a PDF file to Word 2007 in an editable format.  Is this possible and how do I achieve it?
    I want to be able to preserve the formating as well as all the text.  I want the text to be in the same format and editable in word along with all the objects and images.

    I'm afraid this isn't a forum where we know a lot about PDFs either.  We're more about Photoshop and image editing here.  The Acrobat forum *might* be better...

  • Cannot Generate a PDF from Word 2007

    I have inherited a 100-page file in Word 2007, and have just encountered a problem when generating a PDF.  (BTW, I have Adobe Reader installed, and I have not yet receieved Acrobat for generating a PDF.)  To reduce file size and to send the file to others in remote locations, I have been saving the Word 2007 file as a PDF, and it has been working up until today.  When the file generated a PDF, it stopped on page 33 and asked if I wanted to send an error report. I have not changed anything on that page.  There is a figure and a table on that page, in addition to some text.  What could be causing the file to stop generating a PDF?  I removed the table and figure, but still the file stops generating on the following page.  I also have checked to make sure I do not have any styles that seem out of place.  Could you provide me with some guidance on what kinds of things I should try and troubleshoot?  Thanks!

    If you only have Reader, you can not create a PDF. You would need Acrobat.
    If you are "saving" as a PDF from Word, you are using the Microsoft PDF utility rather than Adobe's. You'll want to ask Microsoft support.

  • Word 2007 Acrobat X Pro Plugin adds garbage to PDF Headers

    I'm generating PDFs from Word 2007 using the Acrobat X Pro plugin, which is inserting garbage into some of my headers during the process. I can actually see it happen during PDF generation. The Word headers and footers are enabled and the garbage suddenly appears. For some reason, its usually an 0B prefix attached to the headers.
    It doesn't happen to all headers and not with any pattern or consistency.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks, Steve.   It's just aggravating that I have to go through an extra set of steps to do this on a Mac.
    I appreciate the help!
