Acrobat 9 Export to Word Crashes or Corrupt

I downloaded Acrobat 9 Pro to evaluate before upgrading from 8.1.
If I Export a PDF to Word, it converts the doc and looks fine until I get to the last two pages of the Doc file. Then it locks up Word (every time).
If I try to batch Export Multiple Files, it converts one or two files, then crashes Acrobat. The files it does convert are corrupted just as the ones done singly.
About one out of three converted Word files will not open at all. I get a file corrupt error from Word.
It seems the conversion is not finishing for some reason because all is well until the last two pages in the Word file.
What could be causing this?
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks for your reply:
Your question prompted me to look, and I see the files were created using Jaws PDF Creator. Probably not a good thing.
Yes, some files do contain complex tables, and some are rotated.
I tagged one file to test and it worked pretty well. It placed everything in frames or text boxes. But I removed them and it looks pretty good.
The only difference I see in tagged and not tagged is the tables convert better.
All in all, it appears that Acrobat 9 does nothing more for you than Acrobat 8 did regarding file conversion to Word.
The ultimate fix for my problem was to uninstall Acrobat 9. Now my Word files do not freeze.

Acrobat 10.1.3 Word Crash when converting 2007 document to PDF.

Word 2007 Crashes with the error seen below, when using the Convert to PDF button on the Acrobat ribbon in Word. The document may have footnotes. I can convert other docuemnts to pdf in this fashion. Is there an issue converting Word Docuements to PDF if they have foot notes? I saw a post where someone had a table in a docuemnt that was causing Word to crash when it was converted to PDF in this fashion.

Hi,
I convert several Word documents having footnotes to PDF using Acrobat X and it works fine. Is it possible for you to share your Word file in which you are seeing this issue so that I can investigate? You can send me the file @ [email protected]

MS Word crash when exporting to PDF, and font style is bold

If i try to convert a doc file to PDF from Microsoft Word using fonts like Times New Roman, everything works fine; by using a font like Myriad Pro, Minion pro, etc. if i use even a single word in BOLD style, with other plain text, during export Word crashes, faulting in module pscript5.dll.
Any information about this problem?
Thanks.

>issue with the latest version of Acrobat and not previous versions?
I certainly don't work for Adobe, so this is only a GENERAL comment, based on many years experience with many different programs from several vendors
When a program goes from 8.0 to 8.1 it is usually bug fixes but no major changes to the actual source code
When a program goes from 7.0 to 8.0 that usually indicates major changes in function AND in the source code to create the program
As an application programmer (used to be COBOL, now in a different job and use MS Access) I know that any program with more than a few hundred lines of source code WILL have problems
When you consider that Acrobat is most likely written in C/C++ and will most likely have MANY thousands of lines of source code... it is not at all surprising that it went from 8.0 to 8.1.0 to 8.1.1
It would not surprise me at all if Acrobat's routines for checking and using fonts had changes in that part of the source code... and IF that happened it MAY be that font handling is either "stricter" and that leads to "catching" a font that is "marginal" in operation... or that the error trapping routine changed and is causing a problem
I personally have no idea if a corrupt font is your problem, but it does not surprise me at all that a 7.0 to 8.0 program change COULD introduce changes in the way fonts are processed

Acrobat 9/9.1 - Coruption when export to Word

Hi,
I have been using Adobe Acrobat 9 for a few months now, both in version 9 and 9.1
I have recently been asked to utilise the export to Word feature, which from experience in version 8, has and should be a relatively painless process.
However, to my shock, version 9.x seems to have serious issues when exporting to Word. I find my documents are heavily truncated and often crash word on the second to last page of the document.
I have tried this in our Production environment, Test environment and on a vanilla installation of Windows 2003, to no avail.
I have tried the 'export to HTML' option as one of the guys on the forum suggested, but breaks the formatting considerably.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Andrew

You might try extracting page groups and see if it works on the page groups separately. It may just be one page or such that is having a problem. I really have no clue, but that might be a troubleshooting approach. As far as Adobe help, welcome to the world of Adobe. That is how a lot of us got to the forums.
Actually, for a lot of things you will find more help here than from the Adobe help anyway. There are a few things that they might be able to help on that folks here can not, but that would typically require them to consult the coding folks.

Mac OS 10.6.7 corrupt font on export from Word to PDF

Hi,
I have a library of Word documents that use our corporate font: Officina Sans ITC Pro Book. I have previously saved these as PDF using Word for Mac and opening in Acrobat Pro 9 without any difficulty.
Today however, while Word will export and create the PDF. When the PDF is opened in Acrobat it comes up blank and crashes Acrobat. I have tried exporting from Word to PostScript, but this fails: "Stack:/Font-dict-/ZCYKUX+OfficinaSansITCPro-Book".
The font is avialable on the Mac. I have validated the font and using Font Finagler I have cleared the cache. All without success.
One pointer is the additional six digits in the PS log, which is in front of the font name.
Anyone got any ideas on how to clear the problem and start export cleanly from Word to PDF again?
Thanks,
Niall

Thanks Steve,
The link described our situation. You are correct: yes our font is OpenType PostScript and, yes I had updated to OS 10.6.7.
I have been busy reading. For other readers there is a long thread here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2792142&start=0&tstart=0, where I see that you have also participated.
I have posted constructive critisim to Apple on the OS update. However I don't think there will be a quick fix.
I will probably downgrade back to 10.6.6, but need to steel myself for the task.
Thanks also to Larry and Michael!
Niall

Just subscribed to Acrobat for $19.99/year to be able to use expanded pdf manipulation features. From left hand window I signed in successfully. However when I try to use a feature like export to Word doc I am sent to Web page to subscribe for more money.

Just subscribed to Acrobat for $19.99/year to be able to use expanded pdf manipulation features. From left hand window I signed in successfully. However when I try to use a feature like export to Word doc I am sent to Web page to subscribe for more money. I thought I had already paid for access to these features by subscribing for the $19.99? What features did this $19.99 allow me if NOT to edit or export PDF files?

Please check the name of what you subscribed to. You say "Acrobat" but that isn't $19.99/year. Unfortunately Adobe have products which do the same thing and need to be used in different ways.

Export to Word using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (mac)

I get an error message when I try to export to word using adobe acrobat 9 pro for mac. Any tips?

Word crashes mid PDF creation - Word 2003 Acrobat 9.3.0

I have a new PC and a fresh clean install of CS5 Design Permuim, including Arobat 9. The organisation is still using Office 2003 and no upgrade path in sight for that. Myself and several colleagues with the same software profile are now experiencing frequent problems with Word crashing mid PDF creation.
This has always been an issue with the ocassional Word file in Acrobat 8, but Distiller always worked as an alternative - NOT this time!
PDF Maker gives no error message, just that Word has encounted a problem and needs to close.
Distiller produces the following log message, then freezes completely. I then have to force quit Word to exit!
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: --nostringval-- ]%%
Stack:
/mF_OTF_V
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Not all documents are affected, but I can remove almost all of the content from the affected document and it still causes the error.
I have tried repairing Acrobat - no change.
One other odd symptom - after each crash, the default printer on the machine has changed to Adobe PDF.
I can successfulkly make the PDF on another machine which has not been upgraded to Acrobat 9. The rest of the settings are identical on the two machines, they are both running a standard organisation environment, with the same verion of word etc.
Can anyone suggest how to fix or at least isolate the cause of the problem?

Please update to latest Acrobat 9 release which is 9.4.2.
Also do let us know
a) office 2003 flavour: Standard or professional?
b) OS flavour? Also whether it is 32bit or 64bit?
Also as you mentioned that "Not all documents are affected", so we would require any of your affected file to analyze the issue. Can you please share the file? You can use acrobat.com to share the file.
Thanks,
Vishal

HT200169 Having a problem with Logic 9 on a Mac Pro.Working on a lenghty song and apparently session got corrupted.Doesnt let me export tracks,program crashes.Already tried start brand new session with the tracks imported into it but still wont export.Sug

Hello,having a problem with Logic 9 on a Mac Pro.Working on a lenghty song and apparently session got corrupted.Doesnt let me export tracks,program crashes.Already tried start brand new session with the tracks imported into it but still wont export.Suggestions?

Thanks, Ian. Yeah, that's how I do it now...or with the controls in the left side pane. Still, I would have liked that quick on-the-spot edit capability...especially while sketching.
Ian Turner wrote:
Sorry Mark, you are out of luck as it does not do that - it works the same as L8. The way I would achieve that with more accuracy and control would be to route all the tracks you want to fade to a Bus then use volume automation on the bus. To do this you will need to add a standard audio track, then re-assign it using (Control Click on the track header) to the Bus track. You can then automate volume/plugins etc on the Bus track.

WORD crashes on opening exported PAGES document

HELP! I'm trying to export a fairly large (63 MGB) PAGES file to WORD. It seems to export OK to my desktop, I open WORD and can see the file/document BUT also the dreaded whirling beach ball...
Within seconds, I get the message that WORD has 'unexpectedly quit" and I can send a message to Microsoft,etc.
I have completely re-installed Microsoft Office 'o4, but still get the same result. The export function worked for me a couple of weeks ago so my only guess is that it is the size of the file??? The original PAGES file has to be OK for I can export it as .pdf just fine...
Any ideas? I am really boggled!
GlenCarbon

Glen,
The other posters may be absolutely correct. On the other hand, it may be nothing more than a corrupted graphic in your file that's choking Word. To test this theory, make a backup of your file, and work with that. Start by removing half of the graphics, then export to Word. If the problem goes away, you'll know the issue was with one of the graphics you removed. If you still have the problem, try removing half again of the remaining graphics.

Acrobat Security: How to disable export to word feature

I am needing to create pdfs that don't allow anyone to grab the text or edit it, that includes not being allowed to export the file to word and being able to copy and paste text from there. Also, I need to be able to still allow people to insert their logo. Help please !!
I've tried outlining the text and that works while in the pdf. however that still allows me to export to word and grab the text there.

Ok, I'm not having luck with the above method. When I create a form, there is no option to insert an item as an image, I can add text but not an image. I do not have access to Live Cycle either. Any other ideas or if I need to go about inserting a form in a different manor? Thanks so much for the feedback.

Export to Word RTF - Page Server error when over 160 pages exported

We have XIR2 SP2
We have a Crystal report published into this Enterprise which, when all parameters are widened, runs to 190 pages.
The resultant report includes tables
We can export to PDF but the client requires it in Word RTF
We can export to Word RTF Editable - and all 190 pages are produced in the resulting file, but of course the tables are omitted and the result is messy.
So, we need to export to Word RTF where the format is neat and includes the tables.
However, when we try and export more than 160 pages to Word RTF, we receive the following error.
CrystalReportViewer
handleCrystalEvent failed
Unable to retrieve Object.
The Page Server you are trying to connect to is not accessible. Please contact your system administrator.
We have a duplicate environment with an identical configuration, standing by as a failover environment and which points to the same data.This produces the same error, so we don't think it's an installation corruption or failure.
The page server is set to a maximum of 2,000,000 rows, the cache server at 256000 maximum.

Hi Tony F,
Many thanks for coming back on this one. Both Enterprise servers are identical in BO config, Windows 2003 server, but different in hardware.
One has 4 proc and one has 2, one has twice the memory of the other, yet both fail at over 161 pages. Both have their boCMS db's on different servers, both derive the data from different servers.
IIS is the web server. The only common denominator is the actual installation software itself and the person who installed it (me).
On Friday, instead of running the reports in Enterprise/Preview or Infoview (both exhibit the problem) I switched from our default activeX to DHTML, and advanced DHTML. No improvement (Our report wouldn't work with Java, which we never use)
On the suggestion of the SAP/BO support girl, I then SCHEDULED the report for immediate running and chose WordRTF as the format. This works fine.
So on that evidence I suspect a software glitch that is specific to using Infoview to open the report rather than schedule it - the two processes must access the WordRTF translator in different ways.
I'm hoping there is a patch or hotfix that can solve it. Sadly, our users don't have the appetite for the few extra clicks to use the workaround so we're going to have to pursue it with BO unless the forum comes up with an answer - perhaps its something I didn't do properly on installation, or a CMC/CMS setting. We've got 2m row limit on the page server but the report's row count is nothing like that and, anyway, it works if scheduled.
I'm really grateful to you for taking the time to reply, I hope the above answers your question - if I had hair to pull out, I'd be doing just that!
Kind regards
Tony W

Export to Word--docs can't be opened

When I export in Word format, the documents appear in the folder, but can't be opened in Word. (They can be opened in Pages, and look fine.)
Any thoughts, anyone?

(I've restarted, and it happens in both apps)
But thanks to your thoughts I just created a new user, and Export works fine with it! So something is corrupted within my normal user. When I get some time I'll try deleting various preference files of Word and Pages, unless you have any better suggestions!

Export to Word, letter l different size

I exported a pdf to Word and all the letter L s appear to be thicker but aren't shown as bold when selected. Bizarre! Pdf has unknown font which became Arial in Word.
Also, how do you get the 'properties' in a pdf file to display fonts in the file?
Thanks, Sara

Thanks for your prompt reply!
I am using Acrobat X Standard (v 10.1.13) on a PC with Windows 7.
Not sure about saving the PDF. You mean do a Save As to create a second file?
As for the fonts issue, I’ve done what you pointed out and got a blank box. I did not create this PDF and don’t know if it was created by Adobe or something else! Maybe that’s the problem?
As for my initial problem, I think I found a ‘cure’. Select the funky font/word and click on Font(Ctr-D), go to Character spacing tab. The thick Ls were less than 100% scale and usually Condensed spacing! I went through the whole document, making tedious one-by-one changes. At least it was only the letter L that was affected, which I find truly weird!
After I wrote you, I tried a different PDF export to Word and it looked like a bad OCR and was worse than the first one. I spent most of the evening working on it. I’d be happy to have you look at it. Do you want both the PDF and the Word file? I did Save the PDF but the second exported file looks identical to first.
Thanks,
Sara
