Acrobat 7 Convert Word to PDF Alignment Issue
Recently we have been using Acrobat 7 and occassionally when converted to a PDF, the words move. Below are screen shots of where the text has to be in Word in order for the text to be in the right spot for the PDF. This is the first time it was this bad. Normally its just a tab off. Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this as its a real pain.
Try making "Adobe PDF" the default printer.
Be well...

Hyperlink problem when converting Word to PDF
Hi everyone.
I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard version 7.1.4 on a Windows 2000 environment.
I am using Word XP/2002 SP3.
I have a couple of problems when converting Word to PDF.
When converting a long link which is in 2 lines, PDF just takes one line into account, not considering the whole link
When I have hyperlinks that links to a web page, the link works fine in Word but in pdf, it gets the few words after the url address making the link not work. For example. I have a hyperlink that http://www.google.com/ and after this I have the words: "This is a sample text". The hyperlink in pdf would then become http://www.google.comThisisasampletext
Do you have any ideas how I can correct this?
Thanks.To get the cross references, you have to use Convert to PDF (PDF Maker part of the Acrobat product). However, you first need to go to the print menu and set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Close the print menu and then do a reflow and link update of the document (ctrl-A, then F9 I think). This is needed to get the links correct since WORD reflows the document based on the printer (problem with them going to the wrong place).
Printing to the Adobe PDF printer (the step of print to file is not needed, just print to the printer and the rest is automatic) does not include the links. PDF Maker is a PreProcessor for the Adobe PDF printer that adds PDF Marks to the PS file before it is sent to Distiller (OK, the printer when used normally creates a PS file and then invokes Distiller to complete the process - your steps did with the Adobe PDF printer is the same process done manually).
Summary:
1. Fix document after setting the printer to Adobe PDF.
2. Use PDF Maker (create PDF button) -
Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file?? I have no idea where it is!! Extremely frustrating and not at all user friendly!! Took my 6.99 British pounds and not a sausage to be had!!
It sounds like you may have purchased a CreatePDF subscription through safari, using our web interface. If this is the case, the good news is that subscription will also work with the (free) Adobe Reader. Simply install the Reader from the App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
Once installed, you can then use "Open In" from another app like Mail to open the Word document in Adobe Reader. Reader will show the word doc, but it will also show you a message pointing to the "convert" button (A document with an arrow through it in the toolbar). Pressing this button should prompt you to sign into Acrobat.com. Use the same account you used to purchase your subscription and Reader will upload the word document for conversion, placing it in the Acrobat.com and Outbox section of the Reader. Please let me know if you have trouble! -

The below Error occurs while converting Word to PDF using GeneratePDFService(Webservices)
Message
"ALC-DSC-801-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.pool.service.impl.ServicePoolDoesNotExistException: Pool for service id GeneratePdfService, major version 1 and minor version 1 does not exist"
When I am debugging, i can debug till convertPDF2() and it jumps to catch after there.How to overcome this?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Praveen.Looks like a configuration issue. Please re run the configuration manager. Also test the PDFG conversion in adminui.

I installed adobe acrobat 5.0 on window 2000 server but its not converting word to pdf when I click by toolbal button system hangs.
AA5 is not licensed for use in the server mode. As long as Acrobat is not available for use off the server, only local use, you should be OK. Try to print from WORD to the Acrobat Distiller printer. If that does not work, then try printing to file. If that works, then open the file in Distiller to see if you get a PDF. If you do, then AcroTray is not running. It may be that AcroTray will not run properly on W 2000 Server. As I recall, some folks tried with the 2003 server and had problems.

If you tried to use web ui(above site) then please use other browsers to log in the site.
Thank you

Word keeps stoping in the middle of converting word to PDF
I have a windows 7 desktop with office 2013 and adobe XI STD, every time i try to convert word to PDF or convert PDF to Tiff, my word stops working
I have reinstalled the Adobe and did several repairs, then added adobe reader. when that did not work I reinstalled the Microsoft office 2013, still did not work. When I ran it in administrator it converted fine, so I though maybe permissions, check them and add the user onto the adobe folder, still did not work?????

When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?
The original file is 32 MB:
15 MB is images
15 MB is Content stream
2 MB is everything else
After the PDF/A-1B save as:
The file is 182 MB
Almost 100% is Images
It is an architecture portfolio with many complex images. Is there a setting when I change to PDF/A that can limit the growth of the image files? -
When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the number pages start from the second page.How to keep the original format?
Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.

Acrobat 9.5.5 Converting word to PDF
Hello All,
I am having a strange issue on a users machine. When they create a folder and rename it, then put a word document they want into that folder, they are unable to right click and use the "Convert to Adobe PDF" button. What happens is the first time they click "Convert to Adobe PDF" it opens Microsoft Word and the Adobe PDF Status box appears but then closes leaving the document open in Word. If you close the Word document, then try to click "Convert to Adobe PDF" again it works the second time. It is strange because it only happens when you do it in a folder and not on the desktop.
I looked through the event logs to see if there was anything that seemed out of place. The only thing I noticed is that when your right click the "Convert to Adobe PDF" button, the Adobe PDF Printer is set to default and the the regualr default printer is reset when the process is complete. It is almost as if it is not spooling properly.
Running Windows 7 64bit and Office 2010. I've tried repairing the install, running updates, adding and removing the printer but I am at a loss.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advanceHi Bill,
Thanks for you response. The only issue with this is that all of the other installs are functioning properly. This "does" work but it needs to be done twice, it seems like once to load it into words temp directory, then close word print it again and then it converts to PDF.
Upgrading to the new one isn't really an option. Is there a way to do a standalone install of just the PDF Maker? -
Recently I noticed that my installation of Acrobat X Pro has lost its capability to convert Word files (.doc or .docx) to PDF through Acrobat. The PDF maker inside Word is still functional, but Acrobat itself does not recognize Word files as a supported format. Excel and Publisher are still supported.
I can no longer right click on Word files and access any of the PDF options, I can't open (convert) Word files in Acrobat, and I can't select Word files as targets for any Acrobat actions.
I saw a post on the Enterprise board about this issue happening after WordPerfect was installed, but the discussion was a little on the technical side for me. I did install a trial version of WordPerfect semi-recently, so I'm thinking it's a possibility, but not sure what the solution is.

Anyone have any thoughts? Has this happened to others?On the Mac Version you can drag the word file and drop on to the Icon of the Acrobat application in the Dock and let it grind for a while and it makes a Perfect PDF. In fact it’s the only way you can create Live URL and Mailtos provided they are wriiten as http:// or mailto:
Even Going to Print menu >PDF > Adobe PDF or Adobe Quality PDF won't do it.
Have you tried just draging the file and dropping on to the icon of Acrobat? -
Converting Word Documents, PDF, Powerpoint to BLOB types using HTTP DB
I designed a knowledge base using httpdb and it's working out well. It's great finally have our documentation contained in an Oracle database as opposed to Windows folders Word dcouments. The only issue is that some of our word documents contain images along with text. When I cut and paste the content into the text area field/CLOB the images do not paste. I also tried this using text with HTML and got closer but image did not appear after pasting into the text html field. Is there a way to cut and paste word doc content and images into an http db application ?
Thank youHi,
I have tried to get this right for a few days now Finally found some info at

Creating PDF files by using PDFMaker
You can convert Word files from within either Word or Acrobat. Because both applications use PDFMaker, you can achieve the same results in either application.
To create a PDF file from within Word:
1. Exit from all applications except Word to minimize processing time. To further minimize processing time, complete the following:
-- If the document contains several fonts, either reduce the number of fonts or replace TrueType fonts with Type 1 fonts.
-- If the document contains large or complex tables, reduce the number of columns and rows.
2. If the document contains hyperlinks, make sure that the page margins are .8 inch or larger.
3. To add features such as font embedding and compression to your PDF file, choose Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings. (To create customized job options settings with these features, edit the conversion settings. For more information, see "Editing the PDFMaker Conversion Settings" in the Acrobat Help.)
Isn't it totally obvious to anyone that the margins have to be at least 0.8 inches for hyperlinks to work.....
I made a new page format slightly larger and increased the margins. After making the PDF file i trimmed it in Adobe. Worked like a dream...
