Acrobat XI Pro and MS Word 2010 file conversion issues

I have created a photo journal comprised primarily of photo collages and text boxes using Microsoft Word 2010. Acrobat XI Pro is installed as well. When I "Save as Adobe PDF" the resulting PDF is missing many - not all - of the text boxes placed on top of the photos, and the some of the photos themselves are "reordered" - the one placed on top moves to the back. What might be causing this?
If I select "Save As" and then select the "PDF" option from Word's dropdown menu, the resulting PDF - which is much smaller than the one created by the "Save the Adobe PDF" option - retains all the data in the Word file, in the correct order.
Note - this did not happen when I was using Acrobat X Pro. And this file I am currently working with converted perfectly to an Adobe PDF when I was still using Acrobat X Pro.

Hi,
Can you please share your test file because the issue you mention here seems to be file specific?

How do I resolve a confict between Acrobat X Pro and Microsoft Office 2010 running on a W7 Pro 32bit

After I use Acrobat X Pro, and particularly if I have Acrobat X Pro running, the Microsoft Office 2010 programs (Outlook, Excel and Word) become very unstable.
Outlook has a real tendency to crash when I try to add a file attachment to an email.
Word gets mad while trying to find files across a local network.
and Excel almost always crashed while shutting down (the Excel program).
The problem is getting worse (more frequent crashes) as time goes by.
I am not "pointing the finger" at any specific software. I'm just looking for some things to try to resolve my problem with my setup.
If this is the wrong forum for this question I humbly beg your forgiveness (providing you give me a suggestion as to where I should go for help).
Jim

I'm having the exact issues, I guess adobe does not monitor these forum and assist their customers.

Acrobat 9 Pro and straight .swf to PDF conversion

I have an electronic document that is several .swf files, one
file for each document page. Using cutepdf I can put each file in
firefox and then print the the page to pdf. This is very tedious
since I have 1000+ pages. I would prefer to speed this process up
with AA9.
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. When I try to create a
new PDF from the .swf file I get some dialogue that treats the .swf
as embedded content. This puts an annoying play button at the
bottom of the converted page and makes it incompatible to view in
my iPhone or other handheld devices. It would seem that AA9 treats
the .swf as .swf and doesn't convert it to .pdf like cutepdf does.
I have to believe that AA9 can ignore the media type of .swf
and straight convert the content in the .swf to .pdf without
treating it like I want to embed it as a flash file inside a pdf.
How is this done? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. This problem has yet to be resolved
sadly. The play button isn't a huge deal as that the document wont
convert into straight PDF. I finally gave up and decided to batch
convert all of the files and just deal with the embedded content
angle AA9 takes. Sadly this was also a failure since every file
that was converted (1200+) wants me to confirm the embedded content
settings. Very annoying. Any help on these subjects would be
greatly appreciated.

Hi I have downloaded Acrobat XI Pro and when I try to convert pdf file to word the message says 'error can't sign in'

Hi I have downloaded Acrobat XI Pro and when I try to convert pdf file to word the message says 'error can't sign in'?

Hi Irenedix,
If you are using Acrobat you can try the suggestions mentioned above.
Are you using the Create PDF service from within Reader to create pdf?
If yes then please check if you are able to login to: https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf with your Adobe ID and able to convert the document to pdf.
If yes then within Reader you can try the following:
Choose Edit > Preferences (Win)
Click 'Online Services' or 'Adobe Online Services' on the left-hand side
Sign out of your Adobe ID and sign back in.
Regards,

Acrobat 9 Pro: Links to Word TOC and cross references are lost

I'm testing Acrobat 9 Pro and while it successfully creates a PDF from Word 2003 with bookmarks, all my TOC and internal page reference links are lost.
I have triple checked the conversion settings from the Adobe PDF menu option in Word, and the "Convert cross-references and table of contents to links" check box is definitely selected.
I used the same Word document on another machine with Acrobat 6 Pro installed - and the TOC and cross ref links were created successfully. As far as I can see the Adobe PDF settings in Word 2003 on both machines are the same - the only difference is that one uses Acrobat 6 Pro and the other uses Acrobat 9 Pro.
The only setting in 9 Pro I turned off was the 'enable accessibility tagging' one; it's also turned off in 6 Pro. The remaining settings are the default.
A clickable TOC and internal links is essential for my clients who often have 400+ page documents.
Anybody have any suggestions? Or can anybody confirm that they do/don't get the same behavior in Acrobat 9 Pro?

Thanks Abhigyan - your test PDF worked fine for me.
This is what I've done today:
1. Checked for all instances of pdfm*.dot files and removed any that were lurking in old Application Data and Microsoft Office folders.
2. Deleted all Acrobat 5 and 6 folders and subfolders still lurking in Program Files.
3. Used Add/Remove to delete Adobe Reader 8 and its updates. I figure I can always install Reader 9 if I need it as a separate app.
4. Checked that everything was gone using the Windows Installer CleanUp utility (it was).
5. Restarted my machine.
6. Turned off my anti-virus software.
7. Did a search for any pdfm*.dot files - found one only in the current Microsoft Office folder and left it there.
8. Reinstalled Acrobat 9 Professional.
9. Opened my test Word 2003 document.
10. Checked all the Acrobat conversion settings and left them as the defaults.
11. Converted the doc to PDF and checked for internal links. Yes! The TOC links worked! But my joy was short-lived as the page link didn't work...
12. Tried various other conversion settings based on some suggestions from Lance in first level Adobe Support yesterday - still no page link. And I also lost the TOC links when I cleared the Enable Accessibility check box on the Settings tab of the conversion settings.
13. Checked the Edit > Preferences > Convert To PDF settings for Word in Acrobat 9 - add bookmarks and add links are both selected (default).
14. Used Acrobat 9 to create the PDF (File > Create > From File) hoping that this might might a difference. Nope. No TOC or page links.
15. Changed conversion settings back to default via Word 2003, and created a PDF from a longer document. Again the TOC links worked, the URLs worked (they always did), the bookmarks worked (they always did too), but the none of the internal page cross-reference links worked.
So my summary is this:
* I can only create TOC links *if* Enable Accessibility is turned on, but I have always turned this off in earlier versions of Acrobat as I don't need it and it made the process of creating a PDF from a long document incredibly slow - I'm wary of using it!
* I cannot get internal page links to work at all, no matter which method I use to create the PDF (from within Word or within Acrobat), and no matter which conversion settings I select.
I really don't know what to try next. Manually creating links for what could be hundreds of cross-references in a single document is NOT an option, especially as I have many of these long documents.
Any further suggestions?

I am working in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and just created a pdf form from a MS Word document. I need to find out how to have a date field in my form which will update automatically. Can some one out there help me?

I am working in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and just created a pdf form from a MS Word document. I need to find out how to have a date field in my form which will update automatically.

Update automatically under which circumstances, exactly?

I am using Acrobat XI Pro and tried to install the current update. I got this error message: "Error 1328.Error applying patch to file C:\Config.Msi\pT64b3.tmp It has probably been updated by other means1 and can no longer be modified by this patch. For mo

I am using Acrobat XI Pro and tried to install the current update. I got this error message: "Error 1328.Error applying patch to file C:\Config.Msi\pT64b3.tmp It has probably been updated by other means1 and can no longer be modified by this patch. For more information contact your patch vendor." tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still get the error. Searched for C:\Config.Msi\pT64b3.tmp and cannot find the path or the file

For AA XI, you only need the 11.0.09 patch. Download from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows (Use "MAC" if a MAC is used).

Acrobat 9 Pro and changes to Normal style in Word

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro with Microsoft Word 2007 on a Windows XP system. On PDFing a workbook recently, I noticed that after successfully creating the PDF several of the styles in my original document had changed from Arial to Times New Roman. Further investigation showed that the Normal style had been changed and this had rippled through the document.
I corrected the font and re-saved, closed and opened the document but when I ran Acrobat again it once more changed Normal to Times New Roman: this seemed to occur after the distillation was complete as the fonts were correct in the PDF.
Further investigation seems to suggest that the issue is something to do with no master template being applied to the document. The connection to the parent had become broken due to moving the document. On applying a parent template, the issue seemed to go away and the font did not change after running Acrobat.
Can anyone tell me if this is a known behavior of Acrobat or was it simply a result of sloppy document management (it's OK, I won't take it personally). I did a quick search on the site and saw nothing similar.
Charles Addison

Thanks for the reply. I would agree about 2007; however, I'm fairly sure it is to do with the template that is currently attached to the document. I suspect that because no template was stipulated, it reattached to the Normal.dotm when acrobat was finished PDFing. Since stipulating the template to be used I have had no further problems.
I just love Office and it's "quirky" ways.

I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!!

I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!! Why is this? Does anyone have this problem?

When you report a problem you should always try to include as much relevant information as possible. Saying "it doesn't work, help me!" is not very helpful to us, because there could be a million reasons for it not working... What exactly happens when you try to convert a PDF to Word? Are there any error messages? How exactly are you trying to do it? Also, what operating system do you use? What version of Word? What exactly version of Acrobat? etc.

Acrobat X not installing in Word 2010 toolbar

Using Windows 7, 64-bit, and Office 2010 64-bit version.
Just installed Acrobat X Pro and it is not installing Acrobat into the Word 2010 toolbar, can't locate any Acrobat items in the Word toolbar/com add-in/ribbon menus.
I have installed it successfully on a 64-bit Windows 7 / 32-bit Office 2010 system and it did install Acrobat in the 32-bit Word menus.
Is there a problem with Acrobat X not working with 64-bit Office 2010?

Hi there,
We do not currently offer the PDFMaker ribbon for the 64-bit version of Office 2010. For more information, please see: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/882/cpsid_88296.html
Thank you,

Acrobat X & XI add-in Word 2010 32-bit cause macro error messages

When I enable Acrobat COM add-in in Word 2010 32-bit, when I close Word and re-open Word, I receive the following
This dialog screen pops up three consecutive times after I click on "OK" three consecutive instances.
The add-in works great in Outlook 2010, Excel 2010, but not in Word 2010. I manually installed the Trusted Pulisher Certificate for the add-in the the Trusted Publisher store as shown with no success either.
I went to Word options to the Trust Center and enabled anything pertaining to macros or scripts and still was NOT successful. This worked at one time before, prior to Office 2010 updates from Microsoft. I suspect a Microsoft update may have broken this add-in and may require Adobe to put out an update to fix this. This worked in January 2013 thru Feb 2013 but now fails with Microsoft Office updates after March 2013.
Any help would be appreciated!

Adobe Acrobat X Pro Error in SharePoint 2010

I have a group of users who are unable to access PDF Files in a
Specific Folder in SharePoint 2010
They are however able to open PDF Files from emails, desktop, other shared folders and
other folders in SharePoint 2010. See the error message below.
Error Message:
There was an error opening this document. File open failed.
Note the users are currently using Adobe Acrobat X PRO. Could this be a permission issue in SharePoint?
Regards,

Hello,
In addition to permission, are you able to open same PDF from other folder or library? Just download PDF file using windows explorer and upload in any library folder and open it.
Since you are able to open other PDF files so i suspect that there is issue with specific file only. You might also try to same file in different browser.

RoboHelp 9/Acrobat X Pro Integration with Outlook 2010

Is anyone aware of any issues with RoboHelp 9 and/or Acrobat X Pro integrating with Outlook 2010? When I create a PDF for review using RoboHelp and then try to send it for shared review, I keep getting an error message when I try to add people to the To and CC lists in the Send for Shared Review dialog. Clicking either button brings up my Address Book from Outlook, and I can select people without any problems, but whenever I click OK, I get a Check Names dialog book that says:
Microsoft Outlook does not recognize"/O=Company Name", Select the address to use:
(No Suggestions)
At this point, all I can do is go back to the Address Book and try to add people again, but this leads to the same error.

In Outlook, go to File/Options/Add-Ins, and select Manage Com Add-ins, and click Go...
Then make sure the PDFMaker Office COM Addin is checked, select OK, restart, and it should be available.

I have opened scanned pages in to acrobat X1 pro and cannot edit, it says its not editable text how do I scan it as an editable text

I have opened scanned pages in to acrobat X1 pro and cannot edit, it says its not editable text how do I scan it as an editable text

All scanners output one thing only -- an image, a picture of the stuff on the paper that was scanned.
There is not "text". There is a picture of text characters.
This image / picture can be brought into a PDF. What is in the PDF is still an image / picture of text.
Open the PDF with Acrobat. Use Acrobat's OCR feature.
If you desire to touchup some characters use the "ClearScan" OCR.
(Review Acrobat's Help to resolve any questions on this.)
Note that PDF is not a word processor file format and does not tolerate word processor like "editing".
Use Acrobat to do touchups to characters and short character strings. Save As often.
Be well...

I have been trying to start my subscription again for my Acrobat XI Pro and for the annual subscription of the PDF Export for Word and Excel. The PDF Export expired according to my subscription list, but, I think that I had cancelled my Acrobat XI Pro of $ 29.99 monthly, so, I am wanting to presubscribe for it again, but, when I try to put my Code in for my Debit Card, it will not register with your company.
So, I do not know what to do to get it back again with my monthly and annually subscription payments for PDF Export and for Acrobat XI Pro. I have already downloaded the Adobe Reader XI onto my computer so I am set for that product. I just do not know what to do about the PDF Export and the Acrobat XI Pro to be able to get them started once again.
