A Spreadsheet Embedded in a Word doc

This may be one of those very basic things, but I just can't find an answer in the documentation myself. I have a Word document that has an Excel spreadsheet embedded in it. When I make a pdf from that Word doc (Acrobat Pro 7.0), the Excel icon show up in the pdf but it's apparently only an icon. I can't open it.
Is there a way to make a pdf with embedded objects like spreadsheets or Power Points in it that the reader can then open and access?
TIA...

Are the images placed in a table? Many Word user have the habit of doing that. Tables are not handles the same way in Word and Pages so they get "hidden" in Pages. One way to find this out is to change the size of the paper of the document. You do that in the Page setup in the file menu. Create a document that is much longer that the default one and see if you images will pp up.

Property Loader with Excel spreadsheet embedded into a Word doc

I know I can load test limits from an Excel doc using Property Loader but can I load test limits from an Excel table embedded in a Word document? Has anyone ever done this?

Jules,
I looked into how this could be accomplished, and it doesn't look like it is possible using off the shelf methods. Please if anyone figures out how to do that, i would strongly encourage you to write a Community Example . I think your closest work around would be to have the excel document linked in the word document http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA101208101033.aspx . Unfortunately in this situation, the excel file is still seperate from the word doc, and anyone reading the word doc would have to open the excel through the link to view its contents. Also if you move the document, you have to remember to move or change the path of the link. What is your motivation behind having the Excel Spreadsheet in a word document? I agree it would be a novel Idea, but as of now when you copy the object into the word document, it gets encapsulated by the .doc or .docx, and there is no clean easy way I have found to abstract it out. I also looked into the potential of dynamically linking the excel spreadsheet and word document, so when you would update one...it would update the other automatically, unfortunately this functionality doesn't exist (that I could find). Sounds like a pretty good product suggestion for microsoft though ; ) Keep me updated if you find a better work-around.

Unable to embedded xls files word doc with acrobat distiller 6

Hi,
I have a problem to convert a Microsoft Word docs with embedded excel(*.xls) to PDF using Adobe Distiller 6. The excel file will become an image file after conversion.
Please advise on what went wrong or is this a limititaion of Adobe Distiller 6.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Haikal

I suspect that what you are asking as nothing to do with Acrobat. For what you are doing, there is no need to use PDF Maker (unless you are looking for links or such). You do not have to use Distiller (unless you are taking about the Acrobat Distiller printer with AA5 and earlier), but simply print to the Adobe PDF printer (that automates the use of Distiller). In fact, Distiller can not handle DOC files, so I suspect you are using AA5. However, the end result will be based on whatever WORD sends to the printer, not how Acrobat converts it. If text is sent, then Acrobat will convert it accordingly. Sounds like WORD is sending the Excel file as a graphic. It may just be that is how WORD handles that OLE aspect of the embedding.
I am no expert on WORD (I use another package), but I really doubt that Acrobat is at fault. I would look at what WORD is doing. One way to do this is to print to a PS file (you can do this with the Adobe PDF printer using print-to-file. Open the PS file and you should find a graphic structure in the PS that represents the Excel file.

Insert a spreadsheet and word docs into a PDF with hyperlinks

I have a spreadsheet index with hyperlinks to 455 single page word docs. I want to make a single pdf by inserting the spreadsheet followed by the word docs.
Is there a way of having the hyperlinks recognize the inserted word docs pages inside the pdf via the original hyperlinks, or do I need to remove the hyperlinks before inserting the spreadsheet and then do bookmarks for all 455 pages? Or some other method?

James,
I doubt that will work. But it should be easy enough to find out. If you
print to pdf from ID, I guarantee is will not work. If you export from
ID, I doubt it will work, but ask in the ID forum, since the creation
does not depend upon Acrobat.

Word doc with embedded Excel spreadsheet

I have a Word (2010) doc in which I have embedded Excel (2010) spreadsheets. We cannot open the spreadsheets after I convert the doc to pdf. Is there a step I'm missing, or is this not possible? Thanks

Content of the embedded object in a Microsoft Office application does not come over to PDF.
Basically PDF, being a completely different file format / technology from the MS applications' format(s)/technology, does not support this feature.
You can create a PDF from Word that has not embedded objects.
Now, with the PDF open in Acrobat you can attach the Excel files.
Be well...

Michaelp70541244. I have converted a word doc. to pdf, but none of the fonts are embedded.

Anyone know the answer?

Hi michaelp70541244,
What did you use to convert the Word doc to PDF? Regardless of the method you used, however, some fonts will never be embedded, if licensing for those fonts restricts it.
Best,
Sara

Copying word.doc and excell spreadsheets

I just bought a new Curve 8330.
Can I copy word.docs and excell spreadsheets to my Blackberry?
If so, how?
Thank you for any help you may give me.
Gordon

Yes, you can.
1. You can email the files to yourself and from the BlackBerry device, download to your Media Card.
2. You can set the Media Card to Mass Storage Support, and move the documents from your PC to the BlackBerry while connected to the PC via the USB cable.
See this: http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_add_media_files_to_my_microSD_card%3F
Now, if you have OS 5.0 on your device, (Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with a "v.4.xxx") you will have DocumentsToGo and WordToGo and SheetsToGo installed on your device (look in the Applications folder).

How to import MS Word docs into a Wiki (with embedded images

What is the best way to import a lot of large MS Word docs (50+ pages) with images into a Wiki-Folder?
I know that you can copy&paste the text and still preserve the formatting, but i'd still have to import the images manually.
Is there something planned like Word2MediaWikiPlus?

I don't understand. If we use Webdav, we can access and share Office-documents, but we want to create a Wiki-structure with links etc.

How to retain the hyperlinks when converting Word doc to PDF?

For adobe acrobat 9 pro, I can't figure out how to keep the hyperlinks working. If I create pdf from word doc by save as, it can't embed fonts, but links work. If I use "print" in word, it embeds fonts, but some hyperlinks didn't work. What to do to keep fonts embedded and links working? It drove me crazy! HELP!!!

Depends on the version of WORD. With OFFICE 2007, go to the Adobe menu and select Create PDF (this is PDF Maker). That will save the links. A similar process is needed for OFFICE 2003. With OFFICE 2010, you will have to upgrade to AA X or add them in Acrobat manually.

My itunes library was on my PC. About two years ago I switched it to my Seagate server/hardrive. (itunes-preferences-advanced-change library). Last summer (2012) I bought a macbook, which seems to access the seagate server hard drive fine for word docs, excel spreadsheets,etc. It also seems to have started its own library which is not complete. My PC died this summer (I still have it though).
Now when syncing any of the multiple devices (ipods,ipads, iphones) that we have with my mac book, itunes states that "an error occurred" or the "app cannot be found". Itunes wants me to erase the device and sync with my macbook. The message "The iPhone “Renee’s iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library on “Renee PC”. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."appears.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Unique issue with PDF to WORD .doc conversion with Acrobat Pro - any ideas?

I have been unable to solve the following issue when converting (save as...) PDF documents to Microsoft Word .doc using numerous methods. This could either be an issue that would be fixed in Acrobat Pro itself, or in MS Word - posting to the Adobe forums first.
PREFACE: I am attempting to use the converted .doc file with translation applications/software. Google Translator Toolkit is what I use the most, but ALL other translators are having this very same issue with the .doc file. --The source PDFs are product information from drug manufacturers in various countries that I need to have translated to English. I do not have access to their source documents, as they do not provide their own source docs for obvious reasons.
ALSO: I cannot use Google Translator toolkit to translate from PDFs directly - if you do that, it will attempt to translate a PDF and then export in an .html file, but it does not get the exact spacing of the sentences correctly, which leads to errors in translating - key things such as "can take with alcohol" and "do not take with alcohol". So that's out!
I am not having any problems with the resultant .doc file in MS Word itself. It looks right, the spacing matches the original PDF source perfectly, prints correctly, etc... Reference here on a product info sheet from Austria in German:
The problem: This is a screenshot from Google Translator Toolkit - the right side of the image - the spacing in the lettering from the .doc file I am uploading is not being read correctly, resulting in untranslated gibberish. (Note: this isn't a problem with the translation applications or software -- all are having this issue with .doc files converted from .pdf - this issue isn't present with any old .doc file that wasn't converted from a .pdf) -- It's definitely got something to do with some kind of embedded data in the .doc file that I cannot isolate!!)
My settings in Adobe Pro (convert from PDF to .doc):
Page layout: Flowing Text (this prevents the resultant .doc from having all of those text boxes, which also don't then work in translators)
Include comments: True
Include images: True
Run OCR if needed: True
Notes:
-I have run OCR text recognition on the source PDF files in it's specific language.
-I have edited the accessibilty of the PDF and have run the tag recognition and quick checks (to see if they solved the issue, which it did not - tagged or untagged, same problems!)
-I have exported the .doc BACK to PDF using MS Word's function, which results in a great looking tagged PDF. THEN I re-saved this new PDF back as a .doc - same issue.
-I have tried saving the PDF in all of the other formats that the translators accept. All have different issues. The only one that works consistently is saving to a .txt (plain)... The best is a .doc to .doc conversion, with all the original spacing. (I am not spending hours reformatting a .txt translation in word)...
I can't seem to find where this spacing data is in the .doc file!!!! (Changing the fonts, sizes, margins -- doesnt fix this either). I have tried so many methods...
Any thoughts on other things to try in Adobe Pro (or Word)?
EDIT: Here's an additional tidbit of info that may be the key to this... There's some kind of coding that is in the .doc that Adobe Pro converted from the source PDF that doesnt display in Word, but that is being seen by the translation programs....... I have no idea what these are, but I want to remove them!

I would suggest you look at the fonts that are being used. It may be a font issue that is not properly being read by the translation program.

A font not used in an MS Word doc is showing up in the PDF properties and won't embed

A friend needed a new manuscript uploaded to a publishing site. I retyped it in MS Word (2007) using NO formatting shortcuts and using only ONE font (Georgia) for both body and headers/footers. Placed all the jpg illustrations on the pages. Then saved it in the required PDF format for the publisher's system to use. They also require that ALL fonts/symbols are embedded. Even ONE character that is not embedded will void the file. I'm now on attempt 17.
When I checked the properties on this PDF file, the font I used, including italics, symbols and bolding, are noted as embedded. However, it also says that there is ARIEL font (which I did not use) that is NOT embedded. AARRGGHH.
This gal wants her book ready in two weeks. HOW can I resolve this? Any ideas? I saved it once through MS Word using the PDF option, but also tried it through my Photoshop Elements. Same result. My PC uses Windows 8 (NOT 8.1) and the Adobe Reader XI.0.7. The Java files are the most current update as of yesterday.

It seems to me to be a problem of MS Word, not Adobe Reader.
Also, I don't know how you can convert a Word doc to PDF with Photoshop Elements.
