Word 2000 and Acrobat 9 PDFMaker

I see that it is a known issue that PDFMaker doesn't always install nicely into Word 2007 with Acrobat 9.
What I want to ask is, is it possible to use PDFMaker with Word 2000? The fact that it seems to be implemented as a dll makes me think maybe it is not possible.
TIA for all help,
David

I don't believe Word 2000 is supported by Acrobat 9

Problems creating a PDF file w/ Word 2000 + Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

Hi all,
we have a problem with some of our word files. When trying to create a PDF file w/ Word 2000 and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional by pressing on the Acrobat button in Word, sometimes the PDF distiller gets stuck and doesn't create a PDF file. When pressing <Alt>+<F9> we see that the file is overcrowded with fields, e.g.:
{PRINT \p para "[ /EMC pdfmark [ /StPop pdfmark"} { PRINT \p para "[ /EMC pdfmark [ /StPop pdfmark" }
{ PRINT \p para "[ /Subtype /P /StPNE pdfmark" } { PRINT \p para "[ /StBMC pdfmark" ] { PRINT \p para "[ /Subtype /P /Title () /StPNE pdfmark}
etc.
When deleting all of these fields it is possible to create a PDF file (which is quite a nuisance). Does anybody know what these fields mean and esp. what can be done to stop Word/Acrobat writing the text felds into our documents?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Chris

All of the marks are created to provide the tags and other items related to bookmarks, links, and accessibility. Sometimes there is a problem if your TEMP folder does not have enough room. You get these when you use PDF Maker (the create PDF icon in WORD). You can select the preferences in PDF Maker and deselect a lot of the items, particularly tags that tend to bloat the PDF but are useful for accessibility or going back to WORD (you should always keep the WORD file anyway). That may solve the problem. If you do not want any of the extra info, then print to the Adobe PDF printer instead.

Can anyone help with a Word 2007 and Acrobat 9 combine files problem?

Hi all
This may be a setup problem but I was unable to find an answer.
I have many word documents that use a style as Heading 1, 2 and 3. What I normally do is to use the Adobe option of "Merge Files into a Single PDF" and then select the documents I want and press combine. Adobe then combines all the documents into a single PDF taking all my headings (styles) and converts them into bookmarks.
I should say that is how I worked until a month ago.
My company upgraded my computer and reinstalled Adobe. Now I have the following problems:
The option of "Merge Files into a Single PDF" is no longer available from the Windows Explorer context menu. It is available from within Adobe.
When I use the option from within Adobe, it does not take the headings into account, so it does not create bookmarks from the styles.
When I create a PDF from within Word, I first check the Adobe Preferences and make sure that the "Convert Word Styles to Bookmarks" option is checked and that my heading styles are checked. Clicking "Create PDF" creates the PDF that I want.
By the way, I am using Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat 9.

You need to define cell styles for your header and footer rows. Unfortunately there is no setting for cell height. You can force it by using a fixed First Baseline Offset combined with Top and Bottom Insets. This will produce rows that are 1p3 high:

Headings to Bookmarks - w Word 2010 and Acrobat Pro 9

So Adobe decided to rip us off by denying a fix for the Acrobat Pro Ribbon in MS Office 2010 We refuse to take part on their money making scheme and spend loads to upgrade to Acrobat X just for that (sorry Adobe, try not cheating your customers next time). So we are now unable to use the advanced conversion options once found within MS Office. Grrr again!
We are working with CS5 with Acrobat 9, all properly updated. With that:
- is there any hidden setting or trick that would allow converting Word headings into bookmarks automatically when converting Word documents? It doesn't matter where I start (from Word or from Acrobat) as long as the result is the same
- is there any third-party add-in/plug in that enables the functions we lost with the missing ribbon? Such as options to convert those headings to bookmarks, endnote/footnote links to link in the PDF and so on?
Thanks in advance!

You have three choices:
1. Add the bookmarks in the PDF by hand.
2. Go back to OFFICE 2007.
3. Upgrade to AA X.
Keep in mind that OFFICE 2010 came out after AA 9 that is 2 years old, the basic revision cycle for Acrobat. MS added some major changes that required Adobe to do a major rewrite on AA X to get PDF Maker to work. Call it a money making scheme if you like. One could also look at MS actions that cause problems for other products that work with OFFICE. In fact, one almost suspects that MS puts hooks in their software to mess up competing technology. This has never been proven and may be false, but it is an alternate scenario. In any case, the three choices mentioned are your only alternatives. My understanding is that Adobe has no plans to update AA9 to resolve this problem with OFFICE 2010. This has been a know problem since the release of OFFICE 2010 and it took Adobe some time to even fix AA X to meet the need.
If you are not willing to buy AA X, your best solution is to move your systems back to OFFICE 2007.

Clipboard problems in conjunction with Word 2004 and Acrobat 7

Does anyone else out there have problems with Word and Acrobat crashing when you are doing a cut and paste? I sometimes get problems with cutting and pasting in word, and sometimes I get it trying to paste text from acrobat to word. Could be word related, but it feels more like the clipboard is getting too full, and dragging the clipped application down with it. There are no warnings. Any ideas?

Creating PDF from Word 2010 and Acrobat X Colors Not Accurate

I'm puzzled by this one.
When we print the documents directly from Word 2012 the colors print correctly.
When we use the one click button in the ribbon. PNG files convert well, Illustrator EPS files do not. We use a logo that has Pantone Process Blue and it turns aqua.
I have tries many different setting and none convert correctly. I can make nice small files of these brochures for use on the internet, but the color is not good.
If I use the File Print to Acrobat then it converts the colors well, but the files are larger. Trying to reduce the file size as a second step does not change the file size.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Though, I'm unclear at 'when I go to print it, it blows up from about 50KB to 10MB' but could you please check the file size of the PDF soon after conversion? You can find it under File->Properties->General Tab. It shouldn't automatically increase the file size at the time of printing.
Would you be able to attach the file (if it's not confidential)?

Office and Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar in Leopard

Need some guidance ...
- Just upgraded to Leopard 10.5.4
- Photoshop 7 stopped working
- Upgraded to CS3
- PDFMaker Toolbar appears in Excel
- Trying to use toolbar gives error ""PDFMaker could not locate the Adobe PDF printer. Please install the printer on this machine."
- Not sure how to install this printer. Other topics have been specific to Tiger and Jaguar.
Thanks
Tim

Also please note that PDFMaker is a invention created by adobe to work specifically with MS Office. And will work on all version up to Office2004 on Mac.
However, In its infinite wisdom, and not realizing the wrath and backlash they would receive from Office Mac Users, dumped all VBA support in Office2008. Well, PDFMaker is a Casualty of that along with other such goodies as Solver in Excel and many other Macro based commands. MS has received such heat that they absolutely promise it will be back in Office 2010, 11, 12 whatever the next version is, at possible sacrifice of new features.
So if your trying to use with Office 2008 it won't work, you can't get it to work.
Besides, now in Office2008 you can actually create a PDF directly from the Save As command. And has solved a problem or bug Adobe has never figured out how to fix where if you created a PDF from a word document, would break the pdf into chunks depended upon whether you used Page and section Breaks. And would only create a PDF of the first sheet in an Excel spread sheet. A problem Adobe hasn't fixed in 13-14 years at least.
As to quality of the PDF created I have no idea. but they look great for the web.
So I can see why Jon threw in his comment about being removed in 9.

Hyperlinks lost when converting from Word 03 using Acrobat PDFMaker 10.0

This hasn't been an issue before (using the same version of both softwares). I checked in Conversion Settings, and both Add Links and Create Bookmarks are checked. Help! Thanks!

Try updating to 10.1.3.

Acrobat 7.0 Professional purchased version won't create PDF files from Word 2000

I am running Windows 7 and have installed Acrobat 7.0 and Word 2000. I know, it's an old version, but this combination always worked on my old computer. When I install Acrobat on my computer I received the following message: "Warning 20225. Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Setup was unable to create a new item: Adobe PDF Port & Printer. The Adobe PDF Printer may be unavailable." Then it tells me the installation was successfully completed. When I attempt to create a PDF from a Word 2000 file, I get this error message: "Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files." And it asks if I want to run the installer in repair mode, but all it does it try to re-install the program and fix things but then I get the same "Warning 20225..." message mentioned above. If I have the original purchased installation discs of both Word 2000 and Acrobat 7.0, why won't they work together on my new computer running Windows 7? They worked fine on my old computer using Windows XP. Help!!!

I just answered this question in http://forums.adobe.com/message/4251547#4251547. Basically you should be able to create a PDF (assuming you are not using a 64-bit system and then I have no clue), but not in the automated way you are used to doing. The first step would be to change the printer port for the Adobe PDF printer (assuming the driver got installed) to file. Then when you print or use PDF Maker, it will ask you for the file name. It will create a PS file (may have a prn extension) that you have to open in Distiller to complete the rest of the conversion. A bit of extra work, but workable. You are looking at a Win7 issue that has caused major problems for many software vendors, not just Adobe. The newer versions of Windows seem to ignore a lot of compatibility needs. Don't forget that with VISTA they had to add the help system back in because their own MS Office needed it.

Word 2000 with SolMan and EWA issues

Hi,
Having a number of issues. It seems since updating SolMan to SP24 EHP1 i cannot open EWA reports in Word 2000 (updating to latest version is out of the question due to business politics). I have tried a number recomendations from OSS notes but none work. I get this error message when i select standard or short version
Required file not found -> see long text
Message no. DSVAS813
No usable file was found for the active Office version in the report defintion.
Procedure
Processing cannot continue.
Please notify the person responsible for this session type or for the SAP Solution Manager, specifying the session number, session group, session type, version number and the number of the message short text.
To find session information, in the Service Session Workbench, choose Goto -> Technical Information. Specify the Office application and version (which you can find by choosing ? -> Help -> About... ) and the number of the message short text.
To create a message to SAP, choose Help -> Create Support Message.
The issue can be resolved by changing the report definition in the Service Session Workbench or importing a newer version of the session definition.
I am not sure how to change the Word version in technical Information, it seems not so "helpful" help page and how to change the report definition. Any help on this would be appreciated
I also needed to know how to send previous SAP EWA reports. The landscape is setup to send the EWA reports to SAP on a monthly basis and i need to change this to weekly. i have had a look at the EWA setup operations and it is active and all boxes are ticked.
thanks,
Mani

Hello Mani,
You can send the data for ABAP system to SAP and process the EWA reports and they can be accessed via your
Service Market Place inbox, if that was an option you were seeking. How to do so, you need to follow SAP Note 207223.
The periodic SDCCN EWA task can be scheduled to recurr weekly.
EWA data on Satellite ssytems is usually only available for the past 3 weeks, as there is no intent to store the data.
Of course any EWA report can also be opened (click the link on the left side in DSWP) in HTML, so this could be a work around to get any existing or furture EWA reports generated on your Solution Manager system.
Unfortunately, because Word 2000 is no longer supported by Microsoft, there is little that can be done now, that you are on Word 2000, and have upgraded to an SP level that no longer supports Word 2000. This is your issue.
However I think I have provided some alternatives to get the reports.
Regards,
Paul

Can't reenable "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin"

While PDFing a document from Microsoft Word 2007 (using Acrobat 9), the process froze so I killed the Word process.
Afterwards, I found that the Acrobat menu is now missing when I open a Word document.
In "Word Options", the Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin is disabled. However, I've tried renabling it with no luck - it remains disabled.
I've tried also adding the COM to the registry, and running a repair, as described at this web page:
http://acrobat.timhuff.net/?p=29
Neither worked for me.
Does anyone have any other ideas before I have to reinstall Acrobat?
Thanks,
P.

Hi Alice,
Unfortunately that didn't fix it for me, but I finally found a solution courtesy of a comment by "Joel" at this blog - I've rewritten it slightly here:
http://acrobat.timhuff.net/?p=29#comment-8787
Open Word 2007.
Click on the Word icon. Go to the bottom of the window that is opened.
Click Word Options.
In the window opened, click “Add-ins”.
On the body of this window, choose the Adobe string that appear under “disabled application add-in”.
This is the crucial part: go to the bottom of this window, instead of "COM add-ins", Choose "Disabled Items". (This is where I was going wrong.)
Click Go.
In the Disabled Items dialog box displayed, select the Adobe addin and click Enable, then Close, then OK.
Regards,
P.

Convert from Word 2007 to Acrobat Pro 9; bookmark issue

When converting from Word 2007 to PDF using Acrobat Pro 9, enabling "Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks", not only are Headings converted to bookmarks, but bulleted text (styles), as well. I attached the subsequent PDF, but this forum does not permit the document attachment. I really only want to show the Headings. (It may be noteworthy to mention that when using this same set of styles in Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro7 the conversion was seamless.)
Does anyone know how to correct this? I have reviewed my Word styles and the issue does not appear to be on the document level. Am I missing some obscure setting?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.
-PS

I had a similar situation occur when converting Word 2007 docs to Acrobat Pro 9 Extended via the PDFMaker (Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007), and I want to share a workaround. In summary, I had extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF (heading 3s, body text, XE Index tags, etc.) that I did not select to be in the PDF. I contacted Adobe's support and ended up talking for approx. 2.5 hrs to 2 different reps with no solution. They reproduced the issue on their end, but couldn't figure out how to fix this. I recently upgraded to Tech Comm Suite 2.5 from 1.0. The Word 2007 conversion to PDF via Acrobat Pro 8.x worked fine.
Scenario: I have 400-page user guides that I am required to publish as 'Press Quality' with navigable bookmarks to certain headings in the PDF. I have to generate the PDF via the Acrobat Add-On tab in Word, since I do not want to manually insert bookmarks in the PDF for 400 page documents (as you would when using the Adobe Print driver or 'Save As PDF' operation).
In the Adobe PDF Maker dialog, I have the following Application Settings selected in the General tab:
Create Bookmarks
Add Links
In the Bookmarks tab, I originally had only two Elements selected for bookmarks:
Heading 1 (a Word Heading already present) as the Level 1 Bookmark.
Table of Contents Bookmark (a Word Style I created) as the Level 2 Bookmark.
As a result, the Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks were both enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
The resulting PDF contained extraneous bookmarks that I did NOT select, such as Heading 2s, 3s, even body text - too much to clean up for 400-page documents! Additionally, and this was annoying too - I noticed that all bookmarks appeared as Level 1 Bookmarks, making the PDF Bookmarks really messy. I converted multiple Word 2007 documents with the same results.
How I resolved the issue:
In the Word 2007 document, open the Styles window, select all instances of the specific Word Heading (in my case, Heading 1). All instances of the selected Word Heading will be selected in the doc.
Click the New Style icon in the lower left part of the Styles window.
In the Create New Style from Formatting dialog, create a new style name (e.g., I created H1).
Just to be sure to NOT create the new style from an existing Word Heading, I selected (no style) in the Style Based On field.
Configure the remaining formatting items as necessary, and then click OK. All of the selected instances from the old Word Heading style are now changed to the new style created (in my case, H1).
Click the Preferences tab in the Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007, and open the Bookmarks tab.
Remove the old Word Heading (in my case, it was Heading 1) so it no longer will be included as a Bookmark in the PDF.
Select the new Word Style that you created (in my case, H1) to be generated as the Level 2 bookmark. Note: My original Level 1 bookmark, "TOC Bookmark," is still selected. Now, only the Convert Word Styles to Bookmarks is enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
Generate the PDF once again via the PDFMaker, and no extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF.
Note: I also noticed that when Index tags (XE tags) were present in an element selected to be a bookmark in the PDF (such as my new style, H1), they also appeared in the PDF Bookmarks pane. I just moved the XE tags down to the body text so they would no longer appear in the PDF.
Question for discussion: Maybe there is a bug in the PDFMaker when both Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks are selected? The extraneous bookmarks do not appear in my PDF when only Convert Word Styles is selected.

Problem converting links from Word 02 to Acrobat 7

Hello All,
I have this problem that is driving me nuts. I am working with Word 2002 and Acrobat 7 Pro.
When I create internal links within the word document (terms linked to the glossary) and PDF using the PDF toolbar (change settings to include bookmarks and links, no security). The PDF only converts some of the links, and it is never consistent. My co-worker has the same problem, but her links that don't come in vary from mine (word 2003 acrobat 7).
This doesn't happen to all documents with links, the website links work perfectly.
Any ideas?
thanks,
dkelley_2

I created the links in word, pressed the PDF Maker ("Adobe PDF" Button on toolbar), changed conversion settings: Standard, (all check but "Attach source file to PDF"), Security None, Word Tab (all checked but "Convert displayed comments to notes in the PDF"), Bookmarks were selected, clicked OK, clicked "Convert to PDF."
If you look at my original post, I attached screenshots of the PDF Maker dialog box.

Does 5800 Xpressmusic supports word files and acro...

Does 5800 Xpressmusic supports word files and acrobat reader files?One has to download the application manually to run these related files or these applications are already there in phone

You need Quickoffice to read MS Office files and Adobe Reader to read PDFs. Neither is preinstalled in the 5800XM, but you can download them from the phone's Download! application.
