Adobe Acrobat X Pro: Create PDF Portfolio not previewing Word docs

******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Word documents won't preview on an Adobe PDF Portfolio, while other Office documents (Excel, PowerPoint, etc) will. It only shows a Word icon on the preview and you have to double-click the file to open it on actual word. This is not the way Acrobat is supposed to behave.
NOTE: Adobe Acrobat 10.1.2 (latest version) and Office 2010 Suite w/ SP1 installed.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Create a PDF Portfolio
2. Add Word (.doc, .docx) files to the Portfolio
3. Click on Preview and you will see a Word icon instead of a thumbnail preview.
Results:
You will see a word icon
Expected results:
A thumbnail preview of the document like it happens with Excel, PowerPoint, etc...
Can you guys reproduce this error? What do you think?

Here is what I am talking about...
Those files should be previewed and not just display a thumbnail with a Word icon.

I'm currently using Adobe Acrobat X to create PDF portfolios for client deliverables. Within the portfolio, there is a "Files" view which can be seen below. I'm interested in knowing if it's possible to bulk import metadata into either the Description field or any user created field via a CSV, spreadsheet, etc. Thanks for any insight which can be given.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Creating PDF from explorer (Right-Click) problem

Hello,
I am new here. I've searched the forums here and maybe I've missed finding the solution. We recently updated from Acrobat 6 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro, and I can no longer get a PDF to be created in the same folder the Word, Excel or other file is located.
In otherwords, when I use (under Windows Explorer) the right-click option and Convert to Adobe PDF, Acrobat 9 Pro keeps asking me where to save this file! Under Acrobat 6 Pro, it would just create the file under the same folder unless I specified otherwise.
I have tried to look under the Word 2003 Adobe PDF "Change Conversion Settings" and I do not have the box next to Prompt for Adobe PDF file name checked.
Am I missing something? I would have assumed this simple process would have carried over from Acrobat 6 Pro. I really do not want to go through a bunch of processes just to save the PDF in the same folder. Under Acrobat 6 Pro, this was a simple task. I am not doing anything major, just converting various Word (.doc) files to PDF.
Thanks.

Using Windows 7, Acrobat 10.0.1, basically the same problem.
Explorer > Right-Click > Convert to Adobe PDF
brings up the Save As dialog and if you'll notice the path in the address bar at the top, it defaults to the last folder in which you created a PDF.
In the Save As dialog, browse to the folder in which you want to save the PDF then click the Save button. This folder will stay in effect until you change it by browsing to a different one in the Save As dialog.
Using Acrobat X, I tried everything I could think of to get a fast, efficient way of converting multiple files to PDF (with the same name and in the same folder as the source files) and, unfortunately, the method described above seems to be the fastest. I tried drag and drop to an Adobe PDF printer shortcut and that didn't work at all--it did nothing! In Acrobat X, File > Create > Batch Create Multiple Files will present a dialog with options for saving to the same folder and keeping the same name as the source file, although it seems like the files process slower in addition to having to click 8 times (not counting selecting the files) before the process begins.
I fervently hope that Adobe will change Explorer > Right-Click > Convert to Adobe PDF back to automatically saving to the same folder as the source 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????!!!!

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.

How to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

how to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

I say to highlight more than one if you can because if the PDF you highlight was made by using Acrobat, it will change all PDF's made by Acrobat but if you have one made by some other product, it may not change them to open with Acrobat.
So in other words, at some point you may have to do it to a PDF made by some other product.

I have a pc and downloaded a trial version of Adobe Acrobat DC to create pdfs. I have followed the simple instructions but what I get is an entire screen shot saved instead of just my document. The instructions seem so simple. I can't imagine what I am doing wrong. Have project I need to submit today. Please help.

Unfortunately, what you describe isn't a common problem. It is pretty surprising, but hopefully it's a simple as clicking or pressing the wrong thing. So, to find this out we need to know, step by step, at the most basic level, what you click or type EXACTLY and what you see. That should let us get to the cause.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Printer Drivers does not pass windows logo testing.

Issue:
I'am using the Acrobat Wizard tool to customize Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to run create Adobe installed to run siliently within our network but I recieve the following hardware prompt to complete the install.
During the install of the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro I recieve a Hardware Installation prompt:
The software you are installing for this hardware:
Printer

Continue your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing.
Is there any way I can download the drivers before I run the installation or is there a patch for Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.

When I start itunes i get the message "Itunes was not properly installed if you wish to burn Cds you will need to reinstall itunes" Any ideas what i should do anyone?
That sounds like the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing aren't going in properly. (or there's damaged GEAR drivers for an old install stuck on the PC.
Perhaps manually uninstalling and reinstalling the GEAR drivers can get you past this. There's instructions for that on the GEAR wiki:

Adobe Acrobat X Pro on Mac does not select duplex print by default

I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.8 for Mac. When I print a document, Acrobat does not select duplex print (i.e. "Print on both sides") by default. While I can manually select duplex print, I don't understand why this isn't the default option here as in every other application. Just for reference, here is a screen shot of my default print screen:
I have played around with duplex printing in the advanced properties of PDF's. I have also played around with the DuplexMode property in the com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist file. Actually, there is no DuplexMode property in the file, but I tried making one, which didn't solve the problem. There is a printBookletDuplexMode property but that doesn't seem to make a different. In any case, nothing has worked.
There are some similar questions on the forums, but they are either slightly different or haven't been answered. Is this such a difficult issue?
Thanks for any help,
Jonathan
Message was edited by: jondaman21. Small clarification to what I've tried.

I agree with your statement; even for a particular document, if I choose to "Print on both sides" and then print again immediately after, "Print on both sides" will be deselected.
However, I'm not sure what you're implying by you're statement. I'm asking precisely why this setting isn't sticky. Acrobat uses a non-standard printer dialog; in the usual dialog I can easily set a defualt duplex setting. I almost always want to print duplex. Why can't I do this by default in Acrobat?

Adobe Acrobat X Pro Is Installed but Not Working

I installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro about a year ago. It has never worked, and I'm just now getting around to trying to fix it. When I try to open a PDF document with the program, it brings up a window that asks if I'll allow the program to make changes to my computer. I click "yes," and the window goes away, but then absolutely nothing happens, the document never opens, and I have to open it with Adobe Reader instead.
I'd like to be able to use the program that I paid for.
What can I do?
Thanks.

you should open the directory where adobe x pro was installed. find Acrobat.exe, right click it>click "run as administrator".
if that fails, fun the acrobat cleaner: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
restart your computer
reinstall acrobat x pro.

Trying to install Adobe Acrobat X Pro and it will not install.

It says "the wizard was interrupted before Adobe Acrobat X Pro could be completely installed." Not sure what is interrupting the installation. It is a PC with Windows 7 64-bit. I tried installing twice already.

Yes. My problem is fixed. I went through the forums and found a solution from user silvasilva3 .
Running a check disk worked.
Thanks

ADOBE ACROBAT 9 PRO INSTALLS BUT DOES NOT COMPLETE

Hi:
I'm a new user of Adobe Acrobat 9 pro. I had a trial version but uninstalled it with the superb help of Michael Kazlow and bought a full version.
It installed OK (after asking my serial number) but when I started to use it, I was asked for my serial number again on the back of the DVD box which I had inserted before the installation began.
Problem: When I type in my correct serial number and click Next, the screen shows a DIFFERENT serial number which it says is invalid and won't let me complete the installation. The error msg is "Invalid serial number- go back and enter the correct number" . I went back 5 times and entered the correct number and clicked Next and a different serial number from the one I typed appears on the screen and the same invalid serial number msg is repeated.
I'm stuck. Please help.

Thanks for replying. 1)I 'm embarrassed to say I don't know what a CS suite is.
2) You helped me uninstall a trial version of Adobe Acrobat 9 pro.
3) The one I'm having trouble with is one I bought. It installed itself but then asked me before I could use it wha y serial number was.
4) I type in the one that's on the back of the box but the screen then shows a different number and says it's invalid.
