Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Word to PDF

When converting Word docs to PDF using Acrobat XI Pro the links in the table of contents no longer work?

Prerequisites
-- Adobe Acrobat Installed
-- MS Office / Word installed (a version that is compatible with the installed version of Acrobat)
First thing to always check - that Word is making the Word generated TOC entries as hyperlinks.
Second thing to do - Configure PDFMaker to "create links" (tick the choice)
Third thing to do - Create the output PDF using the PDFMaker.
A reference that may help.

  • Advange of using Adobe Acrobat over Microsoft word 2007 PDF add -in

    Hi,
    I would like to know what is the advantage of using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard or professional over Microsoft Word 2007 PDF addin. Microsoft will ship the PDF convertor with SP2 later this month, in that case what should be the use of using adobe acrobat to convert a document to PDF and not use microsoft word built in features.
    This is just a doubt which arouse and thought if I could ask here, thought to control some adobe acrobat licenses being used in our environment.

    I have found that some of the links and other items just to not work well with the add-in from MS. However, with OFFICE 2007, it appears that MS has put some hooks in the system to screw up Acrobat. Typical pages that are produced with Acrobat get cut into sections (a graphic will be chopped into multiple graphics and pasted together). I say this is OFFICE only from the perspective that we have tried it with OFFICE 2007 and both AA7 and AA8 and gotten the same result. When we used the same file in OFFICE 2003 with AA7, the PDF was fine. So when you complain about the PDFs created by OFFICE 2007 and Acrobat, you may be seeing something that is a result of OFFICE, not Acrobat. Generally they still look good, it is only in some detail where you will see problems.
    A major advantage we found with Acrobat is that it did not have issues with messing up the links that the MS add-in had. You can try some of this yourself, but that is a summary of our conclusions. Bill

  • 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

  • Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - Copy Paste PDF Page to PPT Slide using VBA

    Hi,
    Please find the requirement -
    Need to read a pdf file (pdf file may contains 10-15 pages) from powerpoint (using VBA), go to a particular pdf page, copy the entire page and paste on the ppt slide. Can anyone share the vba code for this. Thanks.
    Regards,
    Prasanta

    Can you do it without VBA? I can't see anything designed to make this work except screen shots, which are nothing to do with Acrobat specifically.

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro does not open after installing CS6

    I successfully installed CS6 & Web Premium package. I found I could not open .pdf files so I reloaded Adobe Reader X and now realize I cannot open Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create .pdf files. Reinstalled Acrobat again this evening, restarted computer but same issue (Acrobe Acrobat X Pro - it does nothing when I try and open it). What am I missing? any insight is soooo appreciated!

    After installation of the CS6 suite, everything worked great.  I am not sure the time frame it took to notice the problem in Acrobat X Pro the first time as the user does not use it everyday, but the program would not open.  PDF files would only open if you chose to open them in Acrobat Reader and would not open in Acrobat X Pro.  There were no error messages nor were there any error logs in the event viewer.  The program just would not open.  If that user logged out of Windows and I logged in, the program would open but only for a brief period and then would close without warning and never open again. 
    I checked the dates and from the time that I last fixed the error addressed in this thread until it happened again was exactly 30 days which would make me think that the trial would end but it is actually not a trial.  It is a licensed suite.

  • I have paid for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR but it will not recognise a letter in the serial number for me to update my adobe account and any of the programs I have tried using to convert a PDF file on a Mac to a word doc it is converting file with funny sym

    I have been supplied info in an email to copy and paste for a new product purchase "Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR" but am unsure how and where to copy and paste to. There is also a link below the serial number. I have tried entering serial number into my Adobe ID but it is not recognising one of the letters in the 24 Digit serial number??? Also I have tried other products previously downloaded to convert a 7 page PDF file on my Mac and convert it to a Word doc but everything I have tried is converting the file to display some text correctly but also displays random symbols and fonts in place of the handwritten info filled in on the form... also getting blank pages included instead of the info??? Would appreciate some help... I am older generation and not always tech savvy, and it is doing my head in haha.

    Hi Jock,
    I've checked your account, and all is well there. Please make sure that you're logging in with the same Adobe ID/password that you used when you signed up.
    Then, clear the browser cache, and try logging in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • 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.

  • Converting pdf to word Adobe Acrobat XI Pro trial

    I am using a 30 day trial of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, when I convert a pdf to word doc, it has several hidden letters & symbols, is this because it is a trial?

    The trial is fully functional so, no.
    That being said, the Acrobat forum is at http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat. You'll want to ask your questions there.

  • I have imported a PDF form (created in adobe acrobat XI pro) into FormsCentral.  I now want to convert this document into a web form so I can embed it into my website.  HOW DO I DO THIS?

    I took a word document I had created and added fields to it in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  I then imported the PDF in Forms Central and now I am stuck.  All I am able to do with it in FormsCentral is add a submit button.  It will not allow me to edit the document in FormsCentral.  What I ultimately need to do is get this converted to a web form so that I can embed it into our company website.  Additionally, once it's converted, I need to add an option for the user to attach their resume with the file before submitting.  I have looked all over the web and I cannot find an answer as to whether or not I can convert PDFs to web forms in FormsCentral.  This will ultimately determine whether or not the company decides to purchase these programs after the trial version has ended in a few days.

    I tried that first, but FormsCentral does not have the capability to create tables.  The form I need to create is more advanced than what FormsCentral allows.  Do you know if there is a way to create or somehow import a table when creating a web based form on FormsCentral?

  • 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.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 can't make pdf files in 2003 Word

    Hello, Can you help me?
    I purchased Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro four years ago when I went onto Windows 7 as I needed the 64 bit version. Prior to this I had Adobe Acrobat 7.
    Recently I have been unable to make PDF files in Word although it is working in all the other Word applications and through the HP scanner.
    It also won’t make PDF files through the Adobe programme and comes up with the message “Missing PDF files”and the repair command fails to save the problem.
    I am using Word 2003 but prior to now the programme has worked without a problem.
    Can you tell me how to solve the problem as I need the facility as I manage numerous websites for different charities.
    My serial number is 1118-1780-5717-0649-5947-1289 and I am reluctant to unload the programme incase I can’t reload it.
    I have tried to load Acrobat 7 onto my laptop which still has Windows Vista on it.  The serial number for this is 1016-1284-2194-6099-0208-1387 but it refuses to activate this.  Can you advise me on this ?
    I am desperate..
    Many thanks, Sheila

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro adding a blank page on conversion from Word 2010

    Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help.  I'm converting a Word 2010 document to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.5.4).  On conversion to PDF, a blank page is being added, throwing the entire report off.  In word, there is a Section Break (Next Page) at the end of the first page, and the text continues on the second.  On conversion, it is after this section break that the blank page apears (i.e., between pages 1 and 2 of the document).  I've been back and forth through the document, tried to use a Continuous Section Break instead (Word just converts it to a page break again), making sure there's only one break, etc., and cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this problem.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Can't open any PDF file with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

    I have tried to open multiple Acrobat files but none will open. I get a FATAL ERROR message saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server."  I've created documents in word and publisher and am able to convert to pdf format but after the pdf file has been created I cannot open to view and I get the error message. Please help! Thank you!

    No I am thinking that the problem is with Acrobat XI Pro. Because as previously noted I can create a Word document and save as a PDF, the PDF document will be created by Acrobat XI Pro but will not open with Acrobat XI Pro, which normally happens automatically upon creating the PDF file from say Word, Exel, Publisher, etc. When I try to open with Acrobat XI Pro it give me the FATAL ERROR message saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server". Since I could not open any of my PDF documents with Acrobta XI Pro, because I had Acrobat XI Pro as my default PDF creater and reader, I installed Adobe Reader, hoping that it would allow me to view the PDF documents that I had just created with Acrobat XI Pro and it did. The problem is that I cannot open Acrobat XI Pro to creat or edit or add PDF restrictions on  a PDF document straight from Acrobat XI Pro, but I can create a, say Word document, and save as a PDF file. Before installing Adobe Reader I could not open, see or edit the just created PDF file created through Word it is just now after installing Acrobat Reader.
    Also worth noting.
    I have been told that this same problem happened sometime ago with Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Vesion 10) and that the problem was fixed by editing something within the registry. Does anyone know anything about that? Thanks!
