Problem saving Word doc as PDF - Vista?

I have a pc with Vista and Word 2007. I have adobe Reader 9 or 9.1. Some free download or add on thing allows me to save word docs as PDFs. This worked fine to start with but then I found I couldn't move the PDFs I have created from one file to another or delete them. Next I found I couldn't move other PDFs I have downloaded from websites. Then I found I couldn't open the PDFs I had created but I could still open website PDFs I had downloaded. I can still open, move and delte PDFs created on a mac and sent to me by email or memory stick. What is going on? Please help!

So you're saving them from Word using "Save as", correct?
If so, what happens if you use File>Save as>Adobe PDF?

  • Problem converting word doc into pdf

    I've just installed adobe acrobat 6.0 onto my laptop
    . Whenever I try to create a pdf file from a word doc it says there is a problem and will have to run in repair mode/ It then goes through the 'retrieving required info' instructs to restart the computer. Once Ihave done that though and retry, it does exactly the same thing.

    There is an easy and effective way to convert word to PDF through Microsoft word 2007. You can download Microsoft Save As PDF add-in from Microsoft.com.
    Also a newly release one Office 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) has built-in the add-in.
    1. Start Microsoft Word 2007
    2. Open a .DOC document and edit
    3. Select from main menu “Office button”->”Save As”
    4. Select “adobe PDF”.
    More you can refer this column of PDF Converter, which includes some tutorials about converting PDF to other files.
    Glad that you got it working.

  • Having Problems Converting Word Doc to PDF and Retaining Links

    My company recently upgraded company wide to Reader 9 (for Windows). My department develops documentation and we currently use Acrobat Professional 8. Recently we have had several issues where we try to convert a Word 2003 or PowerPoint 2003 doc to PDF with Acrobat Prof 8 and the converted PDF does not retain links when our users open it. The most they get is a information bubble when tehy hover over it that shows the link URL or indocument location, they are unable to seledct the link. Is this a compatability issue between Reader 9 and Acrobat 8 Prof? I have tried everything i know to resolve the issue. Could someone, please offer any helpful info they can? Thanks!

    I withdraw the question. The documents we were given were in Mark Up mode on the Word 2003 side of things. We turned it off and it seems to be working fine now.

  • Problems converting word doc to PDF

    When I try to convert a word document to PDF I get the following error,
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    Cambria not found, using Courier.
    %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
    Stack:
    -dict-
    -file-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    Any help with this would be greatfully helpful

    Ok, try this.... Start Distiller. Click Settings > Font locations.
    I see about 8 locations. How many do you see?
    Anyway, select the first, click Remove. Repeat until all are gone. Click OK.
    When I do this, it beeps at me and fills in the default list again.
    Does it look different? If so, click OK and try again.

  • Problem Saving Word Docs

    We are using GW 8.0 with HP2
    I have one user whose changes in Word are not reflected in the Library.
    The changes DO exist in a numbered file the Save / Checkout folder
    This is Intermittent with only 1 user
    She always (she claims) closes the document via File / Close. I think
    we've removed the 'save' button from the tooldbar.
    Amy ideas why she might be having these problems.
    Steve

    Our approach has always been to do a File / Close when finished editing
    the file.
    We set up Word to do save AutoRecovery Info to a personal network
    folder so that if anything goes astray, we always have a good backup /
    salvage of the file (we may lose the last 3 - 5 minutes of editing
    depending on the setup of Word)
    We point our Save / Checkout to a personal network folder as well
    This has always worked for us ....

  • Attachments (word docs and PDFs) to emails can not be opened by the receivers. Are received as .dat files or application/octet-stream

    Attachments I add to emails (word doc or PDFs) can not be opened by the email receivers. Word documents attachments are received with ATT00427.dat (application/octet-stream) or .doc with (application/octet-stream). PDF attached files arrive with .pdf (application/octet-stream). My copy of my sent email has the same attachment extensions.

  • Can't download word docs or PDF's from Google Docs

    I cannot download word docs or pdf's from Google docs.  I can download MP3's.
    I get an error message saying IE can't find the website.
    The google docs forum response to this problem was to uninstall the current version of Flash and install Flash 10.1  I'd like to try this suggestion but don't know how to implement the procudure or where to find Flash 10.1 and choose which version of it to install
    What is the best way to do that?
    I currently have Flash Player 10.3.181.14 installed
    I use IE Ver 8.0.6001.1870
    And Windows XP pro version 5.1.2600 SP 3 Build 2600
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer

    I cannot quite understand how Google Docs is related to Flash Player.  But anyway, to revert to an earlier Flash Player version
    downoad the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html and save it to disk;
    download the archived FP 10.1 installers from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and save it to disk;
    close all browser instances, then run the downloaded uninstaller;
    extract the latest 10.1 installer (ActiveX for IE, plugin for other browsers) and run it.
    Don't hesitate to ask again if my instructions are not clear.

  • Viewing word docs and PDFs

    I want to put word docs or PDFs on my touch. I read that I can save the word docs as PDF and put it in photos or save them as txt and put them in notes, but my computer recognizes my touch as a camera and won't let me drop things in the root folder. I already did the thing where I tell my computer not to ask me what to do with the camera when I connect it, but it still thinks it's a camera. Is there anything I can do to make this work?

    Your touch is not a disk drive per se like the old iPod classics or nanos and therefore you won't be dropping anything into it. You can certainly view Word documents and pdfs that are e-mailed to you, however. You can use WiFi to copy files to your touch if you purchase and install the correct apps. Check in the App Store for Documents to Go and similar programs.
    Disabling the camera notification is detailed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
    This covers Win 7 and Vista but there is a link to an XP version.

  • Converting Word DOC to PDF changes to PP

    I'm converting a Word DOC to PDF, and my header has several Registered marks. In Word it looks fine, but the PDF has added the letter 'P' before and after, changing '®' to 'P®P'
    I've tried the same source doc on two different machines, and tried using earlier revs of the source doc.
    I'm running Word 2003 SP3 and Acrobat 7.0.0.
    Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

    I agree with John that the version level may be the issue. Typically the first release of each version is buggy. Often the problem seems to be with the fonts - maybe the source of your problem. It might be that the "P" characters were part of the original as flags to change a font style and did not get removed.
    You might also try printing to the Adobe PDF printer to see if that gives the same result (I suspect it will). If it does, an update would be appropriate and should at least be tried on one machine.

  • Word Doc to PDF

    Hi friends
    Can any one tell me how i can convert a word doc to pdf using java.
    My actual problem is I need to convert doc to pdf without the user interaction. Here iam creating doc from xml and xsl and the i need to make the copy of word doc in pdf. This one i need to do in java only.
    Thanks in anticipation
    Sandy

    Hi, iText is not the right solution for what you need, because the itext scope is to create and modify PDF not export from other documents like WORD.
    See:

    What you need is JODConverter:

  • When converting Word doc to pdf I lose the table boarder. How to fix?

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro X. When converting an MS Word doc to pdf I lose the table boarders - primarily in shaded boxes that also have navigation tags. Can someone let me know how to fix this problem?

    Hi Garyeg -

    We would need the files for investigation. Request you to share your email id for correspondence.

  • Converting word doc to pdf, emailing and editing file

    I need to know how to
    1. convert my word doc to pdf
    2. I want to be able to email the new pdf file to someone and I want them to be able to print it out but not be able to edit it.
    Thank you

    Thank you for your post!
    I'm afraid that at present, Acrobat.com doesn't support Office 2007 files (such as.docx). You'll need to save as Office 1997-2003 format, re-upload, then  try again.
    Additionally, it might not work perfectly depending on the font, page breaks, line breaks in your original. Image placement, line breaks, and page breaks sometimes change if you save to other formats. Sometimes a font that was used in the original document is not available on our conversion servers. While we do have a lot of fonts installed on those servers, we certainly don’t have every font in the world.
    We may ask you to share the file with us to help us identify the problem.
    Please let us know how it goes once you save as .doc format!
    Best,
    Michelle

  • Save A3 Word Doc to PDF

    Hi, I want to save an A3 Word Doc to PDF. If I click save it currently cuts off the edges of my work. How can I save this to PDF without this issue?
    I have my own fonts which are not on other computers and my laptop is not able to print on the printer I have as I only have an A4 printer, but will print off at work.
    Thank you

    You would need to find a forum for CutePDF, I think. Doesn't sound
    like a Reader problem.

  • Convert Word doc to PDF

    I need assistance on this issue:
    "Enter Description of Issue:
    We are trying to implement a solution to automatically convert Word documents generated by Siebel to PDF's in order to mail them to customers.
    I see from other support requests you advice to find 3rd part software to do this. Can you tell me if you know of any 3rd party software that another Siebel customer has been able to use to do this?
    We wish to call this software fom script or workflow so that the converted document can then be attached back into siebel and mailed to a customer.
    I understand the principle of how we can get documents from the file system and then using com or a command line call an application that will do the conversion, but as yet we have not found a good 3rd party software to do the conversion."
    So far, I suggest one Enhancement Request(12-161Y57N) to customer but seems is not enough.
    The last update from customer side, was:
    "Is it possible to just give me a plain answer to my main question.
    Do you know of any other customers who have similar functionality and do you know what application they sed to do the conversion? "
    Do you have any idea on regards on PDF converter?

    Hi,
    Can we convert the word doc to PDF using PI intarface.
    I think it is not possible convert the word doc to PDF. Since they are Proprietary  format of Microsoft and Adobe respectively
    my source system sends a doc file & I have to convert it into a PDF doc and then further I have to sent it to target,
    You might have to convert the word document to PDF using available software and then send to target system
    You might have to develop some module program to convert.
    There is one similar blog which explains conversion from XML to PDF. It might help you
