Windings Font ignored during PDF to word Export

Hi,
when i try to export a PDF with Acrobat XI to word or to RTF format the Windings and Webdings fonts are allways ignored.
The Character itself gets exported, but it as "Times Roman". All other fonts works fine, but I need the squares from Windings.
The PDF check shows that the font is include. And the font is active on my maschine.
I'm using a OS X 10.8.3.
Any ideas?

I can confirm that there's a bug when exporting from a PDF to Microsoft Word on the Macintosh. I'd report your bug here:
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
I created a block of text in Minion Pro Regular, and a few characters in Wingdings and Webdings in Adobe InDesign CC. I exported as a PDF file. Both the Wingdings and Webdings reported as an Embedded Subset (CID encoding).
Here's the PDF file:
Here's the result when exported to Word:

  • PDF and Word export useless!

    I made a club newlsetter which looks great on my Mac, but it has to be printed by someone in the Windows world. I used Acrobat Reader to preview the PDF file, but some fonts are not rendered correctly (minor problem) and whole text boxes with advertisements are missing (serious!). Is there a workaround for this problem?
    I tried exporting the document in Word format, but there is hardly any resemblance between my doc and the Word version! This export feature is not ready for prime time.

    I think you haven't undertood the problem with the PDF export: the PDFs produced in Pages are beauiful when viewed in Preview. But in Acrobat Reader they are garbled badly. Since Preview is not available on Windows machines that means only I and my Apple colleagues can appreciate (or print) the creations I have made in Pages.
    I thought PDF was a platform-independent page description language. So why are the presentaions in Acrobat and Preview so different? Is Apple using non-standard PDF features?

  • Exporting pdfs to word and excel file formats  and translating

    Hello, I am new to this forum and came here because I am a professional translator. Although we should be given documents in their original file format, in the real world translators have to convert pdfs such as manuals or annual reports into word or excel files. Given the fact we often work for agencies, and/or do not work directly with the people who created the original files inthe first place, with the best will in the world we normally have to make do with converting the pdf file, or lose the job.
    I would like advice on the best way to learn more about  pdf to word and excel conversion and ways of keeping formatting when it is helpful and removing what is not.
    The general problem is (well the problem is really ignorance on my part!) of course getting the "look and feel" similar in the converted document and knowing more about manipulating the formating and elements which get converted.
    Any help or pointers to online tutorials whether multimedia or text much appreciated.
    David Hardisty (david1610)

    Thank you Lori, this is so clear! I am a teacher as well and there are clear presentations and wonderfully clear presentations and this is in the latter category.
    A tiny suggestion. You would not believe how many pdf files exported to word I have received that are Portuguese content and the sender has not set the language to Portuguese! So in your text entry you might want to mention the language setting. I know it is obvious, but as we know sometimes we cannot see the obvious!
    I will need to look far more carefully at the final things in your video.
    Are there any special considerations for exporting pdf files as Excel? My original doubt was I had to translate some accounting documents. 95% of the document was numbers which did not changing (except for commas to periods and vice versa due to different separator conventions). I did not now how to just select e.g. the vertical column with text. I will go back and try with this suggestion because in this case the look and feel of the numbers was important and the precise fonts etc. seemed to cause problems. But now I am getting out of my depth!
    Thank you again!

  • PDF Printer and Export to Word

    I was trying to export this PDF to word, and Vista would always claim that the Acrobat stopped working when it is checking the tags. Then later I was just trying to see if it would work if I start with a new PDF, so I was trying to print it. Now I get this:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: definefont; ErrorInfo: .notdef --nostringval-- ]%%
    Stack:
    /Font
    -dict-
    /PVRAAA+DY98+ZBHAlq-98
    false
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

    Thanks. Now that the PDF is smaller, I can convert it into a Word document.
    HOWEVER, now all the numbers are messed up. For example, when I try to select and copy the number 93.57 I will get (%&,*
    And its like that for all numbers in the document......

  • Need help. Exporting pdf to Word or cretaing live fields in doc

    I need to take a 180pg doc and save it as a word doc or manage to turn all the necessary areas into live fields. I've tried going to export > word document or File > export to anything really and I keep getting this error message
    Adobe was unabl;e to make this document accessible becuase of the following error:
    Bad PDF; could not read page structure. Bad PDF; error in processing fonts cannot find CMap resource file> [3]
    I received this document form a client overseas. I can't get them to resend another copy.
    Anyway's I can get around this error? I'm desperate I have 9 other docs with the same amount of page to make live

    Sounds that you want to make the PDF files live and then edit them in Word? Why not directly edit them in Adobe Acrobat? It can help directly edit PDF, the conversion is unnecessary. And if you really want to export PDF to Word but the acrobat can help you little, you would try free PDF to Word Converter, which may help you for the conversion. However, I am not sure you would do that work well. Because I am a little confused about the problem you described. Just have a try and it may helps.

  • Why after exporting PDF to Word some characters are not displaying accurately.

    I exported a PDF to Word and it changed the case of some of the characters from upper case to lower case and even changed the font. In some areas the kerning is wonky too. What do I need to do differently?

    Very likely you are not needing to change anything. Some variation in output can be found depending on the data structure of the file involved.
    Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and formatting information?Adobe ExportPDF is capable of exporting high quality information,  but the quality of your Word document depends on the quality of the PDF  file you start with. For instance, if your PDF file was originally  authored in Microsoft Word and converted to PDF using the PDF Maker  functionality in Adobe Acrobat® software, your PDF file contains a rich  set of information that can be captured by Adobe ExportPDF. This  includes relative positioning of tables, images, and even multicolumn  text, as well as page, paragraph, and font attributes. If your PDF file  was originally authored using simpler PDF generation methods, such as  “print to PDF” or “scan to PDF” options, Adobe ExportPDF will convert  any recognizable text and then use sophisticated conversion intelligence  to preserve as much of the page layout as possible.

  • Error in character spacing when exporting to pdf from word 07

    I am having trouble with exporting to pdf from MS Word 07.  The character spacing throughout the document is wacky.  This also happens when exporting to pdf from a GIS program.
    Any help?

    I use the term export because that is how it is done in the GIS software that I use - ArcMap 10.
    In MS Word I access Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 through the print menu. I am using Windows 7.
    I do not always have this trouble, but it started yesterday on a 30 page word doc and then after that, it started on an ArcMap doc.
    As for embedding fonts, when I check the Word doc as you suggested, i see many different fonts listed.  Some are embedded, some embedded subset, some are not embedded at all.  I use styles to manage font types and heading levels.  There is nothing fancy about it - all Times New Roman.

  • Acrobat only converts the page that is displayed.  How do I export/convert an entire PDF to word or exel?

    I have some huge reports that need to be converted.  This is not a one time thing.
    When I try to export PDF to word, excel, or any format offered, it:
    only saves the headers/footers.
    If I select all; it only saves the page(s) displayed on screen
    How can I convert an entire PDF to word or excel?
    Auto-scrolling is on and that made sadly no difference.
    There are too many pages to put it on 10% and view them all on one screen
    Please help

    Hi, sorry I should have put that in my original post.
    Version: Acrobat XI
    I tried multiple things which included:
    Tools --> Content Editing --> Export File To... [ This saves a blank file ]
    Select All --> Tools --> Content Editing --> Export File To... [ Saves only the page that is displayed on the monitor, the rest is all blank except header and footer ]
    Select All --> File --> Save As --> Excel or Word [ Saves only the page displayed on monitor ]
    File --> Save As --> Excel or Word [ Saves only the page displayed on monitor ]
    Select All --> File --> Save As Other --> Excel or Word [ Saves only the page displayed on monitor ]
    File --> Save As Other --> Excel or Word [ Saves only the page displayed on monitor ]
    Tools --> Edit Text & Images --> Cannot Select All --> Export File To... [ Saves only what is displayed on the monitor ]
    I'll edit and add to my original post if it lets me.

  • Help needed to export 19MB PDF to Word

    I have a 19MB PDF, created by scanning, in which the text is recognizable (searchable, copyable). I have tried to convert it to MS Word (both .docx and .doc) from IE9, latest Firefox and latest Chrome, as well as from Reader 11.0.3, all in Win 7 x64 SP1. From the browsers, I get " 'name of PDF' failed to export to Microsoft Word. There was an unexpected problem." From Reader, I get "An error occurred while trying to access the service."
    After searching this forum, I went back and tried again, turning off the "recognize text" feature. Still I get the same errors.
    We purchased this subscription specifically to convert this one file. Help!

    Hurray, Hisami converted the file for me. Here is part of his email:
    "Thank you for reporting the issue using Adobe ExportPDF service.
    I reviewed your PDF file and noticed that the PDF is a big file and it seems the export process encountered a time out on our service."
    If you're having trouble with your own conversion, try submitting the file to Adobe. I apologize, I can't remember exactly how I found that page. It's titled "File Conversion Issues" "Send Us Your File Below" and there is a form to fill out where you attach the file, and a few days later, I had my converted file. Yay!
