Problem converting XLS to PDF in SharePoint

When I try to convert an Excel 2003 spreadsheet that is housed in a MOSS 2007 document library to PDF using Acrobat 8, I get the following error message: "the filename that you're trying to convert has characters outside the system language. Please rename the source file and run PDFMaker again." I am unable to complete the conversion. I am an administrator for our MOSS teamsite, but I am not a server administrator. Any suggestions?

In Indesign if you want to generate a PDF you "export". You have two options: Print or Interactive. If you use Interactive it will include hyperlinks by default. If you choose Print you need to check it:

  • I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel.

    I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel. I do not get the columns and rows to align, just a single column of everything. Any suggestions?

    Export makes use of what is "in" a PDF.
    Good export is the "silk purse" and, ya know, you canna make a silk purse from a sow's ear (which is what any scanned image in PDF is with regards to export).
    The quality of export is dictated by the quality of the PDF. We are taking about the "inner essences" of the PDF (e.g., degree of compliance with the PDF Standard - ISO 32000-1).
    So, what goes in goes out or "GIGO".
    This has nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat's export process.
    A well-formed Tagged PDF (compliant to ISO 32000-1 & ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1) provides a PDF that proactively
    supports content export by Acrobat.
    To get the good stuff from export you start with a well-formed Tagged PDF.
    Goodstuff In — Goodstuff Out
    or
    Garbage In — Garbage Out
    "GIGO"
    Be well...

  • Converting .xls to pdf

    Can anyone recommend a good application or the best way to convert .xls files to pdf?
    Thanks

    Have you tried printing and selecting "Save as PDF"? Or Save As and selecting PDF? I don't have Excel 2004 anymore so I don't know if it has the Save as PDF feature but the standard OS X print dialog has the selection for printing to PDF.

  • PROBLEM converting word98 to PDF

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem converting word documents into PDF.
    I have a word doc that includes some photos that won't
    transmit in email without distoring the text and images.
    So I wanted to make it a PDF so its all "fixed" and stationary.
    My OS is Panther 3.9
    But my Microsoft Word 98 program I use works from Classic (9) system
    For whatever reason my Acrobat (OS X3.9) isn't working (worry bout that later) but my Preview works.
    I just downloaded a free "Text to PDF" convert program for Mac
    it converts the text (but alters it) and won't do the pics AT ALL
    plus it has a bunch of random coding poping up in it.
    Does someone have the answer to this problem?
    Any recommendations on some freeware program downloads?
    Thanks - coldgooseman

    I appreciate all of your help.
    *TO ROAM:*
    +*For the document, if you click on Print (Command + P), then choose Save as PDF, does that work?*+
    When I go to Print in Micrsoft Word 98 there isn't anything that suggest it cann do that. The winnndoww comes up and there's a tab named "Print" with the ffollowing options I can scroll down & choose:
    Document
    Document Prperties
    Commentsss
    Stylessss
    Autotext EEEntries
    Key Assignments
    That’s it, there's nothing anywhere in Microsoft Word 98 that I can find that will allow me to Save as PDF. Besides Print, the options if I go to "Save As" are only:
    Document Template
    Text Only
    Text Only With Line Breaks
    MS-DOS TEXT
    MS-DOS TEXT With Line Breaks
    RICH TEXT FORMAT
    UNICODE TEXT
    STATIONARY
    SPELLER CUSTOM DICTIONARY
    SPELLER EXLUSIVE DICTIONARY
    HTML Document
    WORD 4.0
    WORD 5.0
    WORD 5.1
    WORD 6.0 /95
    *TO ALLAN JONES:*
    +*consider upgrading to Office X or 2004 so you can do everything in OSX. I've had no trouble making PDFs from OSX Word docs.*+
    Yeah I don't have money for that one right now. But I thought surely there was a quick free download I could get somewhere that would do the job.
    +*A no-cost option is to save the Word Doc as an rtf file and see if all attributes are preserved. Then open it with TextEdit in OSX and see if it still looks right. If it does, print from TextEdit selecting the "Save as PDF" option.*+
    I'll see if I can do that.
    +*It's probably worth your while to see if you can get Acrobat working (if it's the OSX version).*+
    I swear I had a Acrobat 6 but all I find is Acrobat 3. (I've never had reason to use it until now. I always Just use Preview to look at stuff.
    *TO CORNELIUS:*
    +*1. How long is this Word document and how many pictures?*+
    14 pages
    +*2. Does it have a .doc extension at the end of the file name?*+
    I just tried that as you suggested and it WAS a little better. That is, the image started off with the right fonts and space right but as it went on it got more and more off.
    AND it still didn't show any images (just blank spaces between text bodies.)
    +*3. Is this a formal or business type communication, or personal email?*+
    Its formal (an official report on a trip which is why I need the photos to be viewable.)
    +*4. Are you sending it as an email attachment?*+
    YES
    +*5. What email are you using e.g. webmail like Hotmail, Apple Mail etc.?*+
    Hotmail
    +*6. Are you booted in OS X and working in the Classic environment, or booted and working in OS 9?*+
    I'm working in OSX3.9 and the Classic Version opens up in it for Microsoft Word 98

  • Havig problems converting JPG to PDF with Acrobat Prof 7

    I am using Acrobat professional 7. I am trying to convert JPG files to PDF. I have done this in the past without problems and now I am getting a message of "unrecoverable error". What can I do? I have tried doing this with one file and with multiple files and still get the same problem.

    What I do is:
    File
    Create PDF
    from Multiple files
    Browse
    (select file)
    add
    OK
    Then after I do all of that I get the message "unrecoverable error"
    I have created over the past year thousands of JPG files to PDF without problems. I can't seem to create a PDF from these JPG files today. I have tried using just one file and also several files and get the same message each time.

  • Problems converting eps to PDF in Distiller - claims "file is in use"

    Hi,
    I've recently starting having a problem in Distiller (the version that same with Acrobat 9). When I try to convert EPS files, I get the message "Cannot open the file. The file is being used by another process". This is a new problem, only a month or two ago it worked fine. The only thing I can think of that may have changed is
    a) Adobe Reader was updated, I believe
    b) in an effort to speed up my computer, I tried removing a number of items from my startup. But I've put them all back in, I think. Here's what's running (although I did start Acrotray manually, and it seems to close when Disteller closes.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi, Bill,
    Ok, well, the problem is still here. I have updated the program. Created
    new eps files that have never been open in Distiller (or any other
    program) .When I try to use Distiller, I get the same message; Cannot
    open this file. The file is being used by another process."
    i have copied the directory to another drive - no change.
    Possible clue: If I try to delete a file from Distiller/File/Open, it
    again tells me that the file is already open and so can't be deleted.
    How strange that it would think the file is still open. It does this
    after a fresh boot, when my first action after booting is to open
    Distiller and try to convert an EPS file.
    I CAN combine the EPS files within Acrobat by using Combine/Merge files
    into a single PDF. But of course that's horribly slow and only an
    emergency solution.
    Using Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.2.0
    Windows 7 professional service pack 1
    16 gigs of RAM
    Here's what's running:
    any more ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Problem converting MSWord into PDF with Acrobat 8.1

    I have a problem very similar to this. I also have a new laptop with WINDOWS Vista professional, MS Office 2007, and Acrobat Standard 8.1.
    The 'Create PDF' button in MSWord (and MSExcel, Powerpoint etc) does not work even for the simplest of Word file without any speacial character. Also if I try to convert the file from inside Adobe Acrobat using "Create PDF/From File...", I get the following message: "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF." The Acrobat printer is working fine.
    Any Remedy?

  • Problem converting images to PDF

    Hi, I'm having some problems with Acrobat PDF Maker from within word. I have Acrobat 9 and when I convert a document that has EMF images in it it doesn't convert the images fully and bits are left out (looks like it's missing layers if that makes sense). If I use bitmaps it works and it's also fine if I actually go to print and choose Adobe PDF (I don't do this normally because PDF maker is so much quicker). Any help or suggestions would be appriciated.

    It appears like the images were not sized before use and is currently in front of the text. Might you try going back to the image and sizing so there is no white space above. This may be related more to LaTeX than Acrobat. Did you create a PS file from LaTeX, use the LaTeX converter to PS or PDF?

  • Problems converting images to PDF or PDF A1B (OS is already english)

    Hello,
    I'm trying to convert images with the PDF Generator Elements. I installed it on Windows Server 2003 ENU with Office 2003 (English version) and Photoshop CS2 Tryout (English version).
    I tried to convert .jpg, .gif, .bmp and .tif into PDF or PDF/A with always the same result: 'conversion timed out'. I searched the forums, however all I found was that point with the English OS. I already changed that, but it is still not working (however the .doc and .xls conversion is working now). Any hints to configurations, places to start to search for errors (there is nothing useful in the jboss logs) etc. would be really appreciated.
    I also tried it via watched folders, with the same result.
    Regards, Karin

    Hello,
    The only thing I can suggest right now is check the settings in your watch folder and double check that the following are set to '*', meaning any file type
    'Specify the file extensions of file types accepted for this folder, separated by commas. *Allowed extensions:'
    Also check the following that you purchased the right software:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/server/pdfgenerator/pdfs/ds_pdfgenerator.pdf
    For example, the proffessional version of PDF Generator can be used to convert any form of file, from image to office documents such as word and excel.
    Notice that Postscript can only be used to convert ps and prm files. Hopefully, this will help

  • Unable to convert XLS to PDF

    existing repair function does not fix problem
    program will not convert Excel file to .pdf

    How are you trying to create the PDF? What versions Acrobat, Excel, and Windows are you working with. With out that information it is almost impossible to help you. Not being able to convert conveys no information. There are 3 or more methods to do the conversion, one being the most fundamental and works in almost all cases (print to the Adobe PDF printer). The other methods get involved in compatibility and enabling of macros, so the methods and versions of software are important for an answer.

  • Problem converting Word to PDF

    I tried to convert (2000 times) word to PDF with same file(file size:1M,pages:64) ,but 81 times had catched a same error, The error message is: Error code:1011.
    Is anyone could help me?

    You will need to be very specific in what you are doing. What versions of WORD and Acrobat, what OS, etc. This is particularly important since there is no Adobe PDF Writer as a product. There used to be one under versions prior to AA6 and that may be your problem. How are you trying to create the PDF in WORD -- there is more than one way and we have no idea what you have tried to do.
