Printing Word document as pdf files whilst retaining active internal links

Hi,
I have a Word file (Word 2004 for Mac Version 11.3.5) with active links to various sections within the document.
However, when I print this as a pdf file all the links become inactive. Is anyone aware of a way to prevent this?
Kind regards,
Damon

I tested this problem and got some interesting results. First of all, I created a document in Word 2004 (11.3.5) with two links, one to an external web site and the other to another Word document on my Mac. I then printed the file to pdf and opened the doc in Preview. Neither links were active, although as you have seen they look like a hyperlink. Opening the same document in Acrobat 8, the external link works but the internal link is still not active.
Next, I printed the Word document via the Adobe PDF 8.0 driver. The same result occured as above. The external link was active in Acrobat but not Preview, while the internal link was no good for either application.
I did some searching. Mactopia has no mention of this problem. There is a posting on Macosxhints with the same problem, but no fix. So unless someone else out there has an answer you may be out of luck for your internal link...

Merging word document with pdf file how do you renumber pages?

After merging a word document with pdf file, how do you renumber pages? The pdf has more pages than the word document. I first converted the word document to a pdf, using Acrobat Standard 9.

Hi Petek ,
After you merge the files or combine files ,click on the Page Thumbnails panel on the left hand side.
In the Page Thumbnail panel ,right click and you will get a drop down list .Select the option "Number Pages".
You will see a dialog box with several options .You can renumber the pages from there as per your requirement.

Hi iSphere: Have you tried, going to "File" > "Print" then at the bottom of the print dialog box select "PDF" and then "save as PDF". This will create a PDF file to be saved.

Adobe Pro - will not print word documents to pdf.. keeps crashing

Hello,
I have Acrobat Pro and when I try to print Word documents it says printing... and then crashes. The window to select the name of the pdf to print to never pops up. The Word program crashes and reopens. The print icon appears on the system tray and just says spooling.
I am using Word 07.
Acrobat Pro was working fine to print PDF's on this version of word for a few months then for some reason it just stopped.
When I print PDF's from existing PDF's it works fine.
I have tried to repair the program but it did not help.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Miguel

If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
Apply all updates IN NUMBER ORDER

Convert word document to PDF file in SAP

Hello experts,
I've been searching around to get some code examples to upload a word document and convert it into a PDF file and then store it in unix. I hope one of you can help me, because many explanations and threads exist, but I did not get wiser reading them...
I don't want to use 3rd party tools to do the conversion, but do it directly in SAP with abap coding and if necessary spool processing.
System details:
SAP ECC 6.0 (unicode system)
SAP_ABA 700 0014 SAPKA70014 Cross-Application Component
SAP_BASIS 700 0014 SAPKB70014 SAP Basis Component
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You can get the spool no from transaction SP01 and later use this spool no to convert the word document to PDF
using the function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and give the import parameter as ur spool id.
once the doc gets converted to PDF u can use CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG
to get the path where the file is to be saved and later give the path to function module GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the file.
or else u can manually execute the following reports:
RSTXPDFT4 (give the spool no. as input)
RSPO0068 (give the word doc with its full path as input)
Hope that helps u
Regards,
Radhika

Printing Word documents to PDF from Office Web Apps Server 2013 yields inaccessible PDF files

I have Office Web Apps Server 2013 SP1 with March 2015 CU applied. The version shows up as "15.0.4569.1506" using Todd Klindt's
method. When anonymous users view the Word documents online through the Office Web Apps, they have an option to print them to PDF. The PDF file that gets generated as a result isn't accessible
(i.e. it isn't WCAG-compliant). using Adobe Acrobat Pro to check it I can see that it is missing tags, for example. The source Word document was made fully accessible from the point of view of Microsoft Office accessibility tools.
When viewing the same document in Word Online in Office 365, I get an extra option "Download as PDF". The PDF document produced is accessible. If I save a Word 2013 document as a PDF from within the Word editor, it also generates accessible
PDF.
I was wondering if the reason for the accessibility problem that I have misconfigured my on-premises Office Web Apps, or perhaps the accessibility compliance isn't built in yet. If the latter is true, I was wondering if someone could indicate whether
or not this is on the list of upcoming CUs.
thanks in advance.

Just check my WAC install, no this is likely an Office online only feature, at least at this point in time.

Printing error when I convert Word document to PDF file

When I convert a Word document to a PDF file, I get a notificaton that there was a printing problem, but the document is converted anyhow.
The error message started to occur after I installed an upgrade to Acrobat Pro X and is shown in the task bar with the printer icon alongside a red and white question mark next to it.
Is there any way to get rid of the problem?

Acrobat X Pro has problems with Explorer 9.0 and Office 64 bits version.
I started having similar problems when I upgraded X pro to 1.2 or 1.3 version and upgraded Explorer to 9.0. I was unable to print web sites(converting to PDF) correctly causing distiller errors, or printed some pages but the fonts were illegible. You could correct the problem by going to printer property, and uncheck "rely on system fonts".
On the other hand, technical support told me that X pro 1.2 version caused issues with office 64 bits version, and told me to upgrade 1.3 only. I did that, but by converting web sites or office files into pdfs with success, but print listing folder get error messages for each print command, and I had to clear them out. otherwise yellow triangluar mark will be attached to printer icon of Acrobat.
Obviously, upgrade to 1.3 did not solve all the issues, and I have to stay without any upgrade at all.

Word document or pdf file in Flash

I have created a Flash CBT that has an assessment at the end.
If they pass
the assessment, they can print out a User Access Form which
will have their
name, date, score, and some other pertinent pieces of
information. I have
this User Access Form in both Word and PDF format. And I know
that I can
open a Word or PDF file from Flash ... but I need it to be
populated with
the information that was gathered from within Flash ... so
I'm trying to
figure out how to bring these files into Flash.
Is it possible to put a Word document, or a PDF file into a
Flash file? If
so ... how?
And if not ... is it possible to send data from Flash to Word
... so that
their personalized data will already be in the document when
it opens?
Or ... any other ideas that might serve my purpose here?
The only thing I could think of to do was to turn this file
into a bitmap
and then use the bitmap in Flash ... with dynamic text fields
in the
appropriate places on a layer above the bitmap. The problem
with this is
that the quality of the bitmap is not as crisp and clean as a
Word or PDF
file would be.
Thanks in advance.

Microsoft Word document to PDF file

When converting a saved Microsoft Word document into a PDF file, the image changes...... Figures that were saved in the original document are then either lost or hidden/partly obscured by other items.
Any help greatly appreciated
[email protected]

Nigel,
This questions belongs in the Acrobat forum. It is not a pdf
specification issue. The short answer is that when you change printers
Word reflows the document. Create the Word document with the Acrobat PDF
printer instance as the default printer driver. That should take care of
your problem. If it does not please repost your question in the Acrobat
forum.

Adobe Acrobat 9/Win7 - Inserting Word documents into PDF file intermittently leads to missing or garbled text?

Heya.
I have a user who is creating a PDF essentially compiled from inserting word documents into the position she wants inside of the PDF.
The problem is that sometimes this leads to missing or garbled text. For example, 6-8.1 is displayed as 6- .1. Which is just plain weird.
Other times, the text looks garbled or uneven. She turned off her PC but I took screenshots of both of these scenarios. I fear that I am not going to be able to retroactively fix the corruption in this document for her.
She says she's using very standard fonts. Like Arial. I asked if she could locate the original Word document that produced the garbled text, just for a sanity check. The problem is that her co-worker may have been the only one with that particular word document (there are probably hundreds which compile this PDF...) and IF she has it, she might not be able to locate it on her PC TO check what the original text is. Yikes.
Google-fu turns up very little. I tried the guidance in this document - https://answers.acrobatusers.com/We-combine-PDF-document-ends-corrupt-What-problem-q197619 .aspx[2] and a Save-As but no avail.
This also turns up but is not applicable to Acrobat 9 I believe: http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobatineducation/2010/02/get_rid_of_that_bloat_in_your.html[3]
She states that she can manually fix the document but after a while it gets corrupted again? But I haven't observed that and she might have just fed me that to amplify the problem.
I will be able to post screenshots when she turns on her computer tomorrow.

Here are the two instances of corruption we have come across.
http://imgur.com/nPztMYm
http://imgur.com/wHM12e2
Edit: A LITTLE MORE INFO. I am able to select the corrupted text, paste it into Notepad with all the characters intact. So the characters are THERE. they are just not being displayed correctly.
Edit: They also do not print correctly. The page prints with characters missing, and she wants to print this document, so that is going to be an issue.

Trying to print word document in postsript format it gives invalid flavor

I want to print word document in PDF format or post script format.I have installed PDF writter .This gives exception -invalid Flavor
Please help me how shall i correct this
import java.io.*;
import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.*;
import javax.print.event.*;
public class PrintPage {
public PrintPage() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// Open the image file
InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("E:/a.doc"));
// Find the default service
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.POSTSCRIPT;
PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
// Create the print job
DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(is, flavor, null);
// Monitor print job events; for the implementation of PrintJobWatcher,
// see e706 Determining When a Print Job Has Finished
// PrintJobWatcher pjDone = new PrintJobWatcher(job);
// Print it
job.print(doc, null);
// Wait for the print job to be done
// pjDone.waitForDone();
// It is now safe to close the input stream
is.close();
} catch (PrintException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

This mean your printer did not support this DocFlavor.
Try to find what DocFlavor your printer support.
// Just check the default one
PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
DocFlavor[] flavors = service.getSupportedDocFlavors();
for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
System.out.println(flavors.toString());
