Abobe v8: Problems with converting from word 2003 to PDF

I use one of those free conversion tools, since i am a student. My problem is that i have a word document with a unique page margin. When i convert from word 2003 to pdf everything gets converted except the page margin which is much bigger then it's supposed to be. Do anyone know how i can fix that?, any help are appriciated.
Kindly Erik

You cannot fix anything in Reader. If you have a problem with the tool
used to create your pdf, please ask in their forum.

  • OT: Problems with docs from Word 2003 in Word 2008

    First, my apologies because this is probably off topic but no one answered in the officeformac.com forum.
    Now, to my question.
    I often have to work with Word documents (from 10 to 100 or so pages) that have been created using Word 2003 for Windows. In these docs, track changes is turned on.
    When I open them with Word 2008 for Mac (in compatibility mode) everything works okay. I can edit and changes are tracked (with bubbles at the side and all).
    However, when I copy the doc back on the server (samba share) and open the doc again with Word 2003 on a Windows machine, the docs are often (though not always) messed up. To be precise, all the tables are split up in such a way, that each row of a table appears on it's own page. All the content is there, but the tables are spread over multiple pages.
    I have all the Mac and Word updates installed and also installed the Windows fonts.
    Has anyone had similar experiences? Any ideas what could be causing this?
    Best regards

    My only thoughts would be to try NeoOffice or OpenOffice, both of which are extremely MS Office compatible, and work on Leopard. They also have PC versions as well.
    MS Office on Macs has never been a really good fit, and as you are aware, support from MS is poor to nonexistent.

  • Links not converting from word 2003 to pdf

    I am using Word 2003.  A fellow worker made a few changes to the document, which including inserting information into the word text and changing heading etc.  Now when I attempt to convert to PDF not all the links works.  The links created to return the reader of the document back to the index (which are set up on all pages) are not working.  I had a similar problem before but I dont recall what/how fixed it.

    How are you creating the PDF (a lot of info missing here)? You need to use PDF Maker to get the links.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.2 crops text when converting from Word 2003

    When converting a Word 2003 file to PDF, using either PDF Maker or directly from Pro 9, the converted file crops a few lines of text at the top of some pages. Converting the same file by just printing to PDF is a work around, but this method does not create bookmarks, so is not preferable.
    I create an updated version of a particular file monthly, using the old file as a basis.  The file will always have tracked changes in Word which are all accepted before converting the file, and the file always has a watermark, which is removed in Word and the file saved before converting to PDF.
    Now here's the weird thing, if I remove the watermark in Word, save the file and convert to PDF, the cropping occurs.  But if I leave the watermark in the saved file, convert to PDF and remove the watermark in Acrobat, no cropping occurs! This is an OK work around too but I'd rather not have to do the workaround at all.
    I've tried all the variations and settings I can think of, but I still end up working around the problem every month.
    Any ideas?

    They won't show up unless
    you have click on each text box
    Go  Format  > Shape
    click on lines
    chose desired line color for the borders.
    once the Borders a colored they will show up in the created PDFs.

  • Converting from Word 2013 to PDF - grey background appears

    When converting my document from Word 2013 to pdf, it appears to be on a grey background. Now my images are "sticking" out instead of blending in.
    How can I get the background to appear white, as it does on my screen.

    Be sure that WORD gets patched too. Often these problems turn out to be OFFICE issues. You might try a sample print to paper to see the issue. Also, AA is at 8.1.6.
    There have been several problems folks have had with WORD 2007. The updates help some, but it is almost as though MS put some hooks in WORD 2007 to cross up Acrobat in some cases. I have run PPT documents with earlier versions of WORD and Acrobat with no problem. WORD 2007 would produce a totally different result that was not expected. There are even differences in graphics that you put in a DOC file versus a DOCX file. The latter seems to be doing some strange things to graphics. I would tell you more, but I really try to stay away from WORD unless I need it for compatibility with others.

  • In converting from word docx to PDF headers abd pagination did not copy

    When converting from docx.. to pdf, the header information with pagination did not copy/transfer.

    Acrobat is NOT for server use. Look into LiveCycle PDF Generator, intended and licensed for server use.

  • Hyperlinks in a PDF document converted from Word 2003

    I have a large document for our state's mathematics vocabulary. It has internal hyperlinks to help someone navigate the document. I created it in Word 2003 and converted it to PDF using the tool in the menu bar. When finished, the PDF document has some working hyperlinks near the beginning (about a third of them), but most of the links (in the last two-thirds) do not work. I have also tried doing the conversion from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 (8.1.4), but I get the same results. Can someone help me solve this problem so the PDF document has all working links? Thanks.

    Yes, you can create a script in Acrobat that loops through the links and adjusts the link's "rect" property to suit your needs. You'll want to consult the Acrobat JavaScript Reference, and look at the doc.getLinks method in particular: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.479.html
    along with the Link object properties: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.802.html
    Post again if you get stuck.
    I don't know what control you have over this on the InDesign side of things. You may want to ask in one of the InDesign forums if you haven't already.

  • Converting from Word 2007 to PDF (Acrobat 8.0) footers formatting problems

    As the title describes, when I convert to pdf the text in my footers is changed.  In Word, the footer simply has a link back to the bookmarks.  The text is as so:
    Click here go to back to the Table of Contents (with the Table of Contents text the actual link)
    When I  go ahead and convert to PDF, the font color is changed and only a couple words are underlined.  In addition the last four words get placed three lines below the other words.
    Any ideas on fixing this?  I have not yet patched due to not have admin priv, but am working with our IT guy to update.

    Be sure that WORD gets patched too. Often these problems turn out to be OFFICE issues. You might try a sample print to paper to see the issue. Also, AA is at 8.1.6.

  • Page numbering/imbedded font issue ~ converting from Word 2003?

    I am new to this forum, so please forgive me if this issue has been addressed 100 times already!
    I am preparing a novel for publication through Createspace (Amazon). Their requirements include that the fonts all be imbedded, and that page numbering begins with '1' on the first page of the story. When I convert my properly numbered word 2003 file to pdf, it comes out looking great, but the page numbers begin with 5 on first page of the story. So I have 2 questions:
    If the pages look okay in terms of font, does that mean that my fonts are correctly imbedded in the pdf?
    and
    Is there a way for me to control the page numbering so it begins with 1 on the first story page?
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm terribly sorry for the trouble. We are working to address the problem with page numbers in an upcoming release, but for now I recommend you try the conversion again using Adobe Acrobat desktop software. You could download a free 30 day trial if needed here:

  • Problem with printing from word 97

    hi!!
    I have HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-One installed. Unfortunately my fother still uses MS Word 97 because he knows it best. Any try to print a document from Word 97 results in crash of the programm without any error message. It just closes when he tries to choose HP C5280 in the print dialogue. Other office programms don't have this problem. I already updated drivers and software to the newest version. Is there an update for compatibility with MS Office 97 or my father have to learn to use another office programm??
    Regards,
    Georg Laptev

    Try taking all of the spaces out of the printer name.  There also seems to be a problem if you switch from normal print to draft in some models.  I think the problem is with word 97.  Still a great program.

  • Problems with tablesalignment (from Word to PDF)

    Hello,
    Ive downloaded the trialversion of Acrobat because our company needs to make little pdf's out of 40/50 documents and i want to try what program is best for our...
    The thing is: i just cant get the tables right (sry for my bad english ) This problem exist with: Docx, doc, pdf, etc. etc.
    When i have a table, with the upper standardscellsalignment set to 0,1 cm. The tables get messed up when i export it to an PDF. However, when i print it, its normal !!! (???)
    The most upper horizontale lines are gone and the vertical connections arent any good.
    I tried every setting, but i just cant seem to find whats wrong. I also tried 4 other programs, but same problems (also the standard saveoption in word: save word to pdf makes the same error.
    There are 2 weird (part)-solutions: when i dissable the upper standard cell alignment in the table, so set to 0, and then save.... and the problem is gone (but i really need this upper cell alignment).
    Other solution: When i dissable all the collours in the table, it is (almost) oke, but not completly. (but this isnt an option also)
    I inserted  some pictures to give you the full view:
    Picture 1: on the left you see the result when i save it with word tot pdf acrobat, on the right you see the originaldocument.
    Picture 2: An closeup of the problems with the lines.
    Picture 3: The settings in Word, what is causing the problem
    Thank you in advance!
    Greetings, Coen
    Select table, right mouse, tabble options --> options --> standard cell margin, uppercellmargin)

    Hi Coen1413,
    Is it possible for you to share your doc also from which you created the PDF?
    Also please let us know your Office version and OS details.
    Thanks,

  • Problems with text from Word, even WordPad - erased spaces  :(

    Hi
    I have Director 11 and I think this is my last project with it, so I don't consider an upgrade to 11.5 since I don't see any future.
    I have a serious issue when I paste text from Word or even Wordpad. Sometimes it erases spaces between words.
    I want to keep some formating because I have a lot of text so pasting from Notepad it's excluded.... too much work
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Director 11 was a pathetic, miserable thing.  Director 11.5 fixed many (not all, but many) of the problems introduced in D11, including a great deal of the text related issues that came with the new text engine.  I do not know if D11.5 will work better in your specific instance, but it is useable.  In my opinion, D11 is not usable, and never should have been released to the world.
    Anyway, I would recommend that you download the free trial version of D11.5 and see if it works better.  Beware though, that you need to do it on another machine that does not have D11 licensed on it.  It will probably overwrite the D11 installation, so you do not want to do that if you do not plan on purchasing D11.5.

  • Import bookmarks from word 2003 into PDF

    Hello guys,
    my english is not the best but i will try my best :-)
    My enviroment:
    Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with XenApp 6, Office 2003 SP3 and Adobe Acrobat 9.
    My problem:
    I installed Adobe Acrobat 9 without Adobe Tabs / PlugIns for Office.
    One user write a document in Word 2003 with many bookmarks. He try to convert the document into a PDF. But after converting the bookmarks are not included in the PDF.
    He try to convert the document over the PDF printer and in Acrobat over create -> pfd from file. Both ways are not working.
    So now my question: Is there any way to convert a doc into a PDF without using the Adobe Tabs / PlugIn for Office?
    Thanks a lot.

    - Open Word 2003, you should see a "Adobe PDF" or "Acrobat" menu item.
    - Select the option to change preferences
    - Select the Bookmarks tab
    - Select the option to convert Word Bookmarks

  • Links breaking when converting from word docs to PDFs in Acrobat X Pro

    I have experienced this same problem when trying to convert word documents to PDFs in Preview:
    For hyperlinks that are active in MS Word (2011 version for Mac), but take up more than one line (they include a line break), the same links in the converted PDFs will only recognize the first line of text in the hyperlink (the hyperlinks in the docs I need to convert are the full URLs that are also hyperlinks to the same URL). As a result these links open a URL that is shortened and doesn't exist.
    Is this a common problem, and is there a way have the full links be recognized automatically when converting to PDFs?
    I have been able to get around this so far by creating the "invisible rectangle" links in Acrobat behind where the full link should be, but it is painstaking for large docs with many links.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Tim

    Afraid not
    This is an Old Problem that has been banted about since Acrobat has existed. We have two companies that are blaming each other for the Problem Adobe and Microsoft. Instead of Blaming each other Adobe needs to get their head  out of their back side and fix the problem. I mean 15 years is enough to do blaming.
    You can take the same PDF's with links created Mac Office  Document and open in Office for PC and create  the PDF and it works in Acrobat. Or you can create the PDF in MacOffice and open in Acrobat PC and it works. So the problem is squarely with Acrobat. But they refuse to fix it.
    You might download and try PDFPen Pro and see if  can create working Links in it. or a Utility called CUPS-PDF. CUPS-PDF installs a Print Driver Much Like Acrobat Use to.
    You go to it to create the PDF. It is sent to a special folder. and the PDF are named with number appended to begining (example: Job_1TheMoon.docx.pdf).  Rename as desired and open may have links.
