Acrobat X Stopped Converting to PDF's Correctly

Hello,
I have Acrobat Pro X ver 10.1.4, IE8, XpPro Svc Pack 3 and Flash 11.6.602.171
I've been using Acrobat Pro X to convert Word docs to PDF's for a long time. Suddenly, last week, when I either convert a Word doc to PDF from within Word or open Acrobat Pro X and then open the Word file in there, the PDF generates but the text is way too small to read and it's all pushed up into the upper left corner of the PDF file.
I had the same issue with Flash 11.6.602.168.
Any suggestions?

Hello. thanks for responding.
Page size is good.
When I went to Word and printed to the Adobe PDF printer, part of the text on page one of my document is missing but most of the other text is there.
Printer Preferences and Properties seem fine in Word.
I had a similar issue a while back and remember it was the current version of Flash causing the issue. We had to unistall flash and install an older version. But what's funny is the latest version of Flash results in the same problem and so does the previous version of Flash...which when I had that, the PDF conversion worked fine until last week.

How can we create a plugin for Acrobat reader to convert a Pdf to Excel format?

Hi all,
I need to convert a pdf to excel format ! is it possible by a plugin in acrobat reader.
I know that it can be done with Acrobat Professional and i have to do the same with the Acrobat Reader?
Does the Acrobat Reader support file conversion plugins?

Hi,
I don't know if Reader supports the onversion but you can easily check that : open an Excel file with Reader and check the result.
With Acrobat Pro when you open a document using Acrobat then it's automatically converted. If this functionality is supported with Reader you will have the same behavior.
Once it's supported you just have to open your document using Acrobat.exe (or Reader.Exe)
My mistake I understood the opposite. To check that Acrobat Reader support the conversion you just have to check in the Reader interface.

Joe

Acrobat 9 Standard converting to PDF

When converting docs from Word to PDF, we use the Adobe
Distiller to make the PDFs readable for users of Adobe 5.0 (It
seems to be a popular version for visitor to our website). We
recently upgraded to Adobe 9 Standard, and the files created cannot
be read by the 5.0 reader. The error message is "The root object is
missing or invalid."
Looking at the properties, it says that the PDF is readable
by Adobe 5.0. However, when we use Adobe 8 standard, the file is
fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Adobe acrobat 9 Pro Convert to PDF Access Denied for users

I recently installed IE 9 on my computer (windows 7 ultimate 64 bit). From this moment on I cannot convert web page to pdf. I am getting " permission denied", code 0.
Can anyone help me?

Good day astryian,
Acrobat 9's development was completed while IE8 was still in beta. The PDFMaker Add-in from Acrobat 9 was never designed for use with IE9. You may want to try printing to the Adobe PDF printer from IE9 instead. If the results you receive contain either missing or garbled text, please refer to the following knowledgebase document: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/896/cpsid_89623.html

When converting a PDF document to word, the word count feature is not giving me the number of words

I have been using Acrobat for converting PDF documents to Word. It had been working just fine, but lately, when I convert a PDF document to Word, it is not giving me the word count, which is why I subscribed in the first place. Someone has any idea of why?

Hi Robin,
I would recommend you to use Acrobat software to convert this pdf file, Acrobat software enable you to customize the conversion settings.
You can download a free 30-day trial from this Link : https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
After downloading and installing acrobat, Open pdf file in Acrobat, go to File menu -> Click 'save as other' -> Microsoft Word -> Word Document.
A pop-up window will appear that would prompt you to choose the file to be converted, after you select the file, click on the settings button on the bottom left of the pop-up window and choose 'Retain Page layout' under layout settings, click ok and then save.
Hope that helps with your query.
Regards,
Rahul

Can anyone help me, is there any problems in the setting of my workstation?

The problem is that your postscript file is using fonts Distiller cannot find. You have the list of fonts that Distiller wants. Locate them and notify Distiller by using the menu item Settings -> Font Locations

Converting a PDF to PowerPoint?

Will Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard convert a PDF to PowerPoint?

I think inserting a pdf file into PowerPoint presentation as image is a lame solution. Bcz for that case, no modification and editing you can do to them. Of course, if you just need the entire content, it's just OK. But in most cases we will not need a whole page, maybe a paragraph or certain sentences, picture. If we are able to edit them then reuse into the presentaion, it will help a lot.
So I agree to convert pdf into PowerPoint so that we are able to make seamlessly combination and reuse the editable content freely. A good pdf to PowerPoint Converter is needed.

Convert a pdf file to a word document

where do you go to convert a file

Hi patrice228,
Adobe Reader XI uses Adobe Export PDF online to convert the file into Word.
You can go to File > Save As > Word or Excel Online
You can even use Acrobat XI to convert a pdf to word document.
Go to File > Save as other... > Microsoft Word > Word document / Word 97-2003 document
You can even make a selection of any table in the pdf document and right click and select 'export as ' > Word document.
Or,
    Open a file in Acrobat XI.
    Choose Tools > Content Editing > Export File to Word document.
    Name the Word file and save it in a desired location.

Acrobat 8.3.0 has stopped converting files to .pdf

Hi,
For some reason my acrobat 8.3 has stopped converting files. When I hit a convert command it trys, works to about 10-15%, then either comes back with a message that "Unable to convert, please correct the problem" or simply stops working and the Word(tm) document might flash and remain on the screen with no pdf created. I have tried to repair through the Help tab, and have also tried reinstalling from My Computer functions. Anybody know what i should do????

Hi Bill,.
Well, still having same problem.
I found acrotray and it appears to be running, still did not work.
So, decided to uninstall and install. Did as you suggested, deleted the folders, deactivated the product with Adobe, and then reinstalled from my original files. This was Version 8.1.0. I thought it would update itself, or atleast work from this version. no avail.
The conversion gets to 10% then the message, "unable to convert this file, correct errors and retry" continues to come up. at least it is consistent.
I am using Vista Home. I am going to try and update that to see if it helps, but seems to me i have done that a few times the last few weeks and did not help. Should i D/L fresh files from the adobe site?
Could it be a printer spooler problem where the printer won't start or something?
i do appreciate your help.
Dan

All my excel files were converted to pdf. Why would this happen and how do i stop it from doing so?

Relax, they weren't converted to PDF.
You can tell by right clicking ANY of them and choosing "Properties". You'll see there that they're STILL .xls or .xlsx files. The "association" has changed and Windows now indicates that they open with Reader, which isn't right.
Where it says "Open With" under the General tab, you can click "Change" and re-select Excel as the default app to open thim.

Acrobat XI Pro crashes Office 2007 Powerpoint when converting to pdf

I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 x64 and Office 2007. I also have Acrobat XI Pro. When I convert a .ppt powerpoint file to .pdf, powerpoint stops working.
When I click Convert to pdf, Acrobat prepares the slides and then begins publishing and about 1/4 of the way through I get a message that powerpoint has stopped working.
I have run the Office Diagnostics and it found nothing.
I have reinstalled Acrobat and it didn't help
Is there a compatibility issue? Would an older version of Acrobat Pro work such as Acrobat 9 or 10?
Is there an Acrobat Preference that I could change that would solve the problem?
Thanks
Tracy

Thank you, it actually turned out to be the specific document, other
powerpoints converted without error.
Thanks, and Have a Great Day,

Acrobat 10.1.4 Update Causes Excel Convert to PDF Fail

The Acrobat feature which allows a "convert to pdf" option in Excel 2010 (Windows 7) fails to execute properly after the update to 10.1.4. It chops up a single page width into multiple pages. I would have been trying to scan tomorrow but have read the other bug reports. Is there a way to back out this update?? Thanks!

To restore your system to last known good state, try these steps:
1) Navigate to the Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools program group.
2) Click on the System Restore program icon.
3) Click Next > on the Restore system files and settings window.
4) Choose the restore point that you want to use.
5) Click Next >.
6) Click Finish on the Confirm your restore point window to begin the System Restore.
    Note: Windows 7 will shut down to complete the System Restore so be sure to save any work you might have open in other programs before continuing.
    Important: System Restore will not revert any of your non-system files like documents, email, music, etc. to a previous state. These types files are completely unaffected by System Restore. If your intention with this tool was to recover a deleted non-system file, try using a file recovery program instead of System Restore.
7)     Click Yes to the Once started, System Restore cannot be interrupted. Do you want to continue? dialog box.
8)     System Restore will now restore Windows 7 to the state that was recorded in the restore point you chose in Step 4.
    Note: The System Restore process could take several minutes as you see the "Please wait while your Windows files and settings are being restored" message. Your computer will then reboot as normal when complete.
9)     Immediately after logging in to Windows 7 after the reboot, you should see a message that System Restore completed successfully.
10)     Click Close.
11)     Check to see if whatever Windows 7 problem you were troubleshooting has been corrected by this System Restore.
    If the problem still persists, you can repeat the steps above and choose another restore point if one is available.
    If this restoration caused a problem, you can always undo this particular System Restore.

"Acrobat had an error converting to pdf."
Help?

[Html to PDF problem / IE 7 and Acrobat 8x convert webpage to pdf]
What is the deal? does anyone from tech support know about this issue?
Not only that, i also have the CS3 Web Premium package and when i go to unistall components--Acrobat doesn't even show up. Not in Programs/Features for unistall under Vista--what gives?
i also run Revo Uninstaller and it doesn't see it either. i found on NemesisV Blog a 3-4pg manual unistall that takes me deep into the registry, i can't believe it--i'm so pissed.
