Adobe Distiller 9 + Word 2007 + Vista

I know this works under XP but not Vista. I have a short test one line equation and it jumbles the symbols up when converting to PDF.
Of ocurse it does this with many other equations too but the test one liner is all I need to show it doesn't work. Also doesn't work on the online pdf acrobat.com either. Excapt same problem. I am using Mathtype for the equation. Now I know this works on Xp - a friend tested it with Distiller 9.

This is because the MathType fonts are not embedded in Distiller. See our article on the subject.

Lost Adobe tab in Word 2007

Hi,
I had a Word 2007 crash, and when I reopened Word the Adobe tab (for converting to PDF) tab had disappeared
When I go to Word options > Add-ins > COM add-ins I can see a check box with Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM add-in.(exact names may not be accurate, I have a French version of Word)
I checked the option, clicked OK, but I still have no tab. I tried stopping/starting Word, but no luck.
Any ideas?

I actually just had that happen in our office with Excel. Here's what I found on the support site: (hope this helps you)
PDFMaker is unavailable in a Microsoft Office 2007 application after you install Acrobat 9 (Windows)
Ratings:0 of 1 people found this helpful
Issue
The Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar is unavailable in a Microsoft Office 2007 application after you install Acrobat 9 Standard, Pro, or Pro Extended on Windows.
Solution
Do one or more of the following solutions:
Solution 1: Enable the PDFMaker add-in in the Office 2007 application's Disabled Items list.
A Microsoft Office 2007 application may automatically disable add-ins as a fail-safe if the application closes unexpectedly (for example, if the system was not shut down properly or if the application crashed). To determine if the PDFMaker add-in has been disabled, do the following:
Open the Microsoft Office 2007 application.
Do one of the following:
In Access, Excel, Word, or PowerPoint: Click the Microsoft Office button (in the upper-left corner). Click the [Application Name] Options button. Choose Add-Ins in the list on the left side of the Options window. Choose Disabled Items in the Manage drop-down menu at the bottom of the Options window. Click Go.
In Outlook, Publisher, or Visio: Choose Tools > Trust Center. Choose Add-Ins in the list on the left side of the Trust Center window. Choose Disabled Items in the Manage drop-down menu at the bottom of the Trust Center window. Click Go.
In Project: Choose Help > About Microsoft Office Project. Click Disabled Items.
Look in the Disabled Items list for Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In.
If Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In is in the list, then select it, click Enable, and click Close. Then close and re-open the Office 2007 application.
If Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In is not in the list, then use Windows Explorer to make sure that PDFMOfficeAddin.dll is present in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office. If the file is not present, then go to Solution 4 for instructions on how to repair your Acrobat installation.
Note: If you installed Acrobat to a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then modify the folder path above for your installation location.
Solution 2: Manually register the COM add-in file.
Disclaimer: This procedure involves editing the Windows registry. Adobe doesn't provide support for editing the registry, which contains critical system and application information. Make sure to back up the registry before editing it. For more information about the registry, see the Windows documentation or contact Microsoft.
Close all Office 2007 applications.
In Windows Explorer, locate PDFMOfficeAddin.dll and note its exact path, which may include spaces. Its default path is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll.
Do one of the following:
On Windows XP: Choose Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
On Windows Vista: Choose Start > All Programs > Accessories. Right-click on Command Prompt, choose Run As Administrator, and authenticate.
In the Command Prompt window, type regsvr32 followed by a space and the path that you noted in Step 1. Enclose the path in quotation marks. For example, if PDFMOfficeAddin.dll is in its default location, then you would type the following command:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll"
Press Enter.
A dialog box will confirm that the registration was successful. Click OK to close this dialog box.
Close the Command Prompt window.
Open the Office 2007 application.
Solution 3: Verify that Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In is selected in the Office 2007 application's list of available add-ins.
Open the Microsoft Office 2007 application.
Do one of the following:
In Access, Excel, PowerPoint, or Word: Click the Microsoft Office button (in the upper-left corner). Click the [Application Name] Options button. Choose Add-Ins in the list on the left side of the Options window.
In Outlook, Publisher, or Visio: Choose Tools > Trust Center. Choose Add-Ins in the list on the left side of the Trust Center window.
Choose COM Add-ins in the Manage drop-down menu at the bottom of the Options window or the Trust Center window.
Click Go.
Look for Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In in the list.
If Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In appears in the list but the checkbox beside it is not selected, then click the checkbox to place a check mark there. Click OK. Then close and re-open the Office 2007 application. (If the Office application doesn't allow you to place a check mark in the checkbox, and if you have already tried Solution 1, then select Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In, click Remove, and proceed to the next paragraph.)
If Adobe PDFMaker COM Add-In is not in the list of available add-ins, then click Add and navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office. Select PDFMOfficeAddin.dll. Click OK. Then close and re-open the Office 2007 application.
Note: If you installed Acrobat to a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then modify the folder path above for your installation location.
Solution 4: Run Repair Acrobat Installation while no other applications are running.
Close all open applications.
Restart your computer.
Open Acrobat.
Choose Help > Repair Acrobat Installation and follow the on-screen instructions.
When the repair process is complete, restart your computer.
Solution 5: Remove and reinstall Acrobat with Windows in a simplified mode.
Device drivers and programs that start automatically when you start your computer can conflict with the Acrobat installer and cause problems. To prevent an installation conflict, reinstall Acrobat while Windows is in simplified mode. In simplified mode, non-essential programs and drivers are disabled.
To remove Acrobat:
Move any personal files out of the Acrobat application folder and its subfolders. The default location for the application folder is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0.
Do one of the following:
On Windows XP: Choose Start > Control Panel > Add Or Remove Programs (or Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add Or Remove Programs). If the Control Panel is in Category view, then also click Remove A Program.
On Windows Vista: Choose Start > Control Panel > Programs And Features. If the Control Panel is in Category view, then instead choose Start > Control Panel > Uninstall A Program.
In the Add Or Remove Programs window, select Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, Pro, or Pro Extended.
Click Change/Remove (Windows XP) or click Uninstall/Change (Windows Vista).
Follow the on-screen instructions to remove the application.
To reinstall Acrobat in a simplified mode:
Close all open applications.
Restart the computer with non-essential services and startup items disabled. For instructions, see one of these TechNotes:
Windows XP: See TechNote kb404984.
Windows Vista: See TechNote kb404913.
Double-click the Setup.exe file on your Acrobat 9 installation media. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Open Acrobat and choose Help > Check For Updates. Follow the on-screen instructions to install available updates.
Re-enable startup items and services. For instructions, see the appropriate TechNote in Step 2, above.
Restart your computer.

Duplex Printing Problem - Word 2007, Vista and HP Officejet Pro L7780

I'm having trouble with duplex printing on my new HP Officejet Pro L7780, from Word 2007, running on a brand new Vista system. I've also had this same problem (repeatable) with two other computers, running XP Professional/Word 2003, XP Home/Word 2003. All of the service packs have been installed for the operating system, word, and printer.
If you print a landscape document, using the auto duplex setting for the HP printer, the margins will print out offset by .25 inches, on the left and rigt margins. So if your margin is 1 inches on right and left, the margins will print to .75 on one side and 1.25 on the other. This would be annoying, except that I'm trying to print brochures and books, which requires that the pages print out exactly as set up... "close enough" isn't working for me
The way I have replicated this problem is as follows: set up a document in landscape format, using the default margins. Insert an image on page one, size it so it takes the full margin area. On the second page, fill it up with text. Print the document, selecting the printer properties and setting Print on Both Sides=Automatic. The easiest way see the problem is by holding the document up to the light. The front and back margins should match and they don't.
Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.
Diana

Diana,
This problem is perhaps much larger than you might have imagined. We have tried to work with Hewlett Packard for over two years on the duplex printing problems. In the process, we have expended over 100 hours of effort in troubleshooting the problem which has included updating software, reinstalling software, developing test documents, escalating issues, submitting technical findings, and in purchasing replacements. Unfortunately, our efforts to interact with Hewlett Packard excalated support have resulted in an aire of apathy, disinterest, incompetence, frustration, redundancy, occasional discourtesy, and an outright lack of professional decorum - something inconceivable of a large, reputable company.
We have identified several problems with duplex printing. The duplex printing problems include irregular margin increases (.25 to .50 inch), margin shifts, cut-off text, compressed text, and compressed graphics. Please note that most of these problems are only evident when printing documents from computer applications to the printer. If the user simply uses the front printer panel to copy in duplex mode, these problems are not always evident. This suggests that the printer mechanics are capable of properly duplexing and that the problem lies in the drivers.
The problem is evident on the HP OfficeJet Pro L7780, Photosmart L7180, Photosmart C6150, Photosmart 3310, and likely on many, many other HP models. The problem is evident on many computers (HP, IBM, Toshiba, and Dell), is evident in multiple applicatons (Word, Wordperfect, Excel, Peachtree, Notepad, and many more), and is evident on multiple operating systems (Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Media Center Edition, and Microsoft Vista).
We consider ourselves to be extremely polite, patient individuals, but have nearly been driven to outrage by the indignant disregard offered us by HP's escalation support department; a department which should represent the cream-of-the-crop in both service and technical expertise. Given the ease with which the problem can be duplicated, we expected an extremely quick resolution by HP who, to our knowledge, has never even made the effort to duplicate the problem in-house on our behalf.
Ironically, HP highly advertises their J.D. Powers rated technical support, yet it appears that they actually have extremely poor published consumer rankings in some of today's mainstream computer magazines. HP technical support makes no apologies for the fact the user cannot use a major feature of their printers, offers no indication that the problem is even being addressed, and off-loads the responsibility by suggesting that we contact Microsoft (who is to blame for this issue).
Thank you, Diane, for your message. We had a hard time imagining that we were the only one experiencing this problem, especially when HP promotes such a representation. Which also begs the question why HP plays like the problem does not even exist? I also fail to understand why HP technical support shows so little interest in a problem that is easily duplicated and adversely affects a major feature of the printer which is commonly used by individuals purchasing equipment for its duplex capabilities.
This is sad because we have been a loyal customer of HP for over twenty-five years. There was a time when we would have happily endorsed HP's steller products and steller support (provided you could get a problem escalated). Now, however, they all-too-often appear to offer equipment that fails to support advertised features which is backed up by sub-standard support and extremely expensive ink. This is an especially sad commentary for users who are buying HP's upper-end printers and computers.
We desire to know if there are others out there experiencing similar problems? If you have experienced these problems or would like samples of the problems we have duplicated, please respond. I think the more information we gather, the better our chance of a successful resolution to a serious problem.
Thanks Everyone!

Downloaded Adobe 9 -- Using Word 2007 to open PDF doc (Error Msg)

I just updated to Adobe 9 and am getting this signature error message when trying to open a pdf doc from MicroSoft Word 2007: appname: acrord32.exe appver: 9.3.0.148 ModName: acrord32dll ModVer: 9.3.0.148 Offset: 001937fa
Am not able to get beyond the error msg.
Help anyone?

I have MicroSoft Word Office 2007.
I recently upgraded from Adobe 8.1 to 9.3. Now, I can no longer open pdf docs.
I am getting an error that says: "Adobe Reader 9.3 (or 8.1) has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I have uninstalled 9.3 and reinstalled. I have uninstalled 9.3 and reinstalled 8.1. I have gone back to 9.3.
I have run 2008 Advanced Registry Optimizer.
The error signature when trying to open a pdf file w/ either Adobe Reader (9.3 or 8.1) is this:
AppName acrord exe AppVer: 9.3.0148 ModName: acrord32.dll ModVer: 9.3.0.148 Offset: 0019371a.
How do I get back to opening pdf docs??

Adobe does not recognize footers in Microsoft Word 2007 to PDF

I have copied and pasted the details, below, from a previous message I have sent out to an assistive technology listserv.
I am encountering this problem with various builds and versions of Adobe Acrobat:
Acrobat X on a Windows Vista 64-bit build (note that this is the best Acrobat I can install on Windows Vista, Adobe Reader XI is not even supported)
Acrobat X on a Windows XP build, sorry, do not know the bit count (it is my work computer so I can't upgrade anything)
Acrobat 9 on a Windows 7 64-bit build.
I have also encountered and checked into whether or not the PDF reads (and does what I want it to) in JAWS 14, latest update (Feb 2013). We encounter the same problem with JAWS and this morning found out that there is a conversion error between Word and Adobe. (See this post, where the ---- are).
Summary, I have spoken with JAWS, put out a support ticket with NVDA via e-mail, spoken with Microsoft, and tried to communicate with Adobe about this issue for help and Adobe is refusing to help. The other places tried everything they knew but they could not get it to work. I even tried to strip all the page numbers from Word and number using Adobe's page numbering feature, but that was not successful either because I cannot use Roman numerals.
I would appreciate any feedback the Adobe Forums can give me; please note that I cannot post a sample document at this time as the only document I have is a private work document (cannot share those by policy, so I will have to make up a fake document if I get the time and energy).
Thank you very much for your time and expertise. The pertient info is above and below in "Original Message" and "Activities section" - the other information is there if you'd like to look. And to provide feedback to Adobe about things I think they could improve, since they will not let me email them directly.
----Original Message----
My question concerns the reading of Footers / Headers in Microsoft Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat (headers/footers designed in Microsoft Word 2007 and then converted to PDF with "Bookmark" checked in Adobe Acrobat conversion settings).
The document is a word document containing 50+ pages. There are 12 pages of "front matter" that are marked with Roman numerals. Subsequently, the body text of the document has an Arabic number (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) in the bottom right corner. Footers are used properly in the document. All Table of Contents links, which do link to both headings in the "front matter" and to headings in the body text, are picked up properly. Literately, the only thing not reading on the document are page numbers (the Word Status bar is reading its page numbers, but the page numbers in the footer are not reading).
I then need to convert the document to Adobe Acrobat PDF. Granted, I have a full copy of Adobe Acrobat X available to me, and my various assistive technologies have always functioned better when opened directly in Acrobat (rather than Adobe Reader). So, I set the accessibility options (from Word) properly, asking it to bookmark Headers and Footers as appropriate, thinking that this will pick up the page numbers and make them read as the bottom right corner of my PDF.
All links work in Adobe to navigate by section/heading. All figures are alt tagged. Everything is perfect - but the one thing that NVDA won't read are the page numbers. Visually, the page numbers are there on the document, but NVDA won't pick them up. Additionally, I also changed the appropriate page numbers in Adobe (Page Thumbnail Pane, on the Navigation Pane I believe it is called) - to reflect the section where it is Roman numerals and Arabic numerals. This did not help, and for what it is worth, I cannot get NVDA to voice when I am in this pane, so I don't seem to have a chance of getting the page number info from there.
NVDA reads the document just fine except for the above-mentioned snare. However, when it reads, it will go to the next page, and say, "Page 2 of 54, (page text), Page 3 of 54 (page text)," etc. when I will need it to say Page ii of 54 (page text), Page iii of 54 (page text)," and so on, changing to "Page 1" when the Arabic numbers are used.
I know that the Page Label issue is part of Adobe's issue, with them not releasing the PageLabel aspect. (I have looked through some NVDA tickets). I do not know how to put a "changeset" into my copy of NVDA though, or even if it would help (I have no computer scripting skill). The easy answer would be to upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and see if that helps, but I don't have the ability to put it on every computer I use, and *I need this file to read consistently across multiple versions of Adobe* (including Adobe Reader/Acrobat 9, X, and XI). (This file is also going out to people who may not have the latest version of Adobe, but are also running some copy of NVDA, either a portable or a full install).
Is there any way to pick up the Footers with page numbers voicing in NVDA, and/or have it read the user-editable page number box that is on Adobe's Toolbar (next to the 1 of 54 parentheses). This user-editable box, to jump to page numbers, reflects the Roman numerals I have loaded into the pages of Adobe. When I press Ctrl+Shift+N in Adobe, I can also go to the appropriate page (if I type in iii, it will take me to iii, if I type in 34, it will take me to the Arabic number 34 -- NOT the 34 of 54, which would land me on a different page. And I want to land on the page that has the Arabic 34, so that's functioning fine.
I just need the page numbers in the footer to voice, "Page iii," or "Page iv," or "Page 29," etc. If I could get NVDA to do that, I could say to viewers of this document, "If you are using NVDA, remember to Ctrl+Shift+N to get the GoTo Box, then type in the page number you want if you cannot follow a link or a bookmark." This document is *very* accessible in my opinion with lots of ways to navigate...the only aspect of navigation that isn't being picked up are those footer page numbers!
I do have my Document Formatting settings on the NVDA menu set to "Report Headers," but that does not seem to help in either Microsoft Word 2007 or Adobe Acrobat. I have even switched the page numbers from the footer to the header to see if that would help and it didn't.
----Activities I have done today----
I spent over an hour on the phone today with Freedom Scientific (makers of JAWS) trying to troubleshoot this. We discovered that Footers will not read very well in JAWS and Microsoft Word 2007 (only solution is to stop reading document text and read Virtual Viewer text briefly, then go back out to document text, then back into Virtual Viewer which is NOT an acceptable or accessible solution whatsoever -- too much work for someone trying to read the document) -- and then we also discovered that:
Upon conversion from Word 2007 to .txt file (.docx to .txt), there are no alt tags for the figures in the document, or page numbers.
Upon conversion from Word 2007 to Adobe Acrobat X then to .txt file, every insert of a page number and footer is replaced with the same alt numberpad numerical code: the one that generates female. ♀No wonder JAWS and NVDA are skipping this, neither understand how to communicate it.
On the advice of JAWS Technical Support I contacted Microsoft Accessibility Technical Support and spent an hour on the phone with them. They say that unless Adobe can find a solution, it appears that it is impossible for Microsoft products to read the footer if JAWS was unsuccessful doing what I wanted it to do. The document/footer in question includes about 12 pages of front matter (numbered in Roman numerals) and 44 pages of body text (numbered in Arabic numerals).
I kindly explained to the Microsoft Support Agent that I found this issue hard to believe, although I understood. Sighted folks have the ability to make their documents look quite professional and that is the caliber and quality of documents anticipated from everyone, especially college students graduating from school, or job applicants. That a coding issue prevents the footer from being read properly, except in Edit view, is disappointing. The representative was with me 100% of the way. She completely understood where I came from. And yes, when I am designing the document myself, I know what I put there (or I pretty much do, anyway). But if I recieve a document, it is much harder to tell what is really there or not, or how the page numbers really lay. And this is confusing as heck, believe me.
I then called Adobe Technical Support, after having a brief online chat with them. Granted, I had to leave the chat in the middle because I got interuptted by something that was high-priority, but the woman chatting from Adobe says that chat is only for installation issues, and I will have to pay to open a support ticket. Excuse me? I have paid a hefty sum of money for Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Acrobat X (work paid for the other Acrobat X copy). I deserve this problem to be troubleshooted for free. There was even a statement on the Adobe Acrobat X website that said Acrobat X users didn't have to pay for support, but Reader users did.
----Slight bit of rant and constructive criticism----
In speaking with Adobe Technical Support, I had to wait on hold for 30 minutes before my call was answered, and then I had to consent to being on hold countless times and had to answer, "Yes, I am converting from Word 2007 to PDF using Adobe Acrobat X" at least 6 times. The representative would put me on hold, then ask me the question, then put me on hold again, repeated 6 times over 45 minutes. At the end of 45 minutes (1 hour and 20 minutes of wasted time by now, that I must justify to my employer) - I told the representative I wanted to speak with his supervisor immediately, I did not care if he was trying to fill out a support ticket (and putting me on hold at least 4 more times in 10 minutes while he claimed he was filling out the support ticket) - and finally he put me on hold again and gave me to a very helpful supervisor. Within 6 minutes of speaking with the supervisor the supervisor had my support ticket filled out and I should recieve a call from Adobe within the next 30 minutes if his estimation was right (he estimated two hours, but it's been an hour and a half).
I have yet to know what can be done about my document. Freedom Scientific Technical Support is closed now for the day and I need to work tomorrow and Friday away from the phone. As I stated to Microsoft Accessibility Support, I truly feel that Adobe should read the page footers, every document says that Adobe should be able to read the page footers, and I feel slighted that as a person who uses assistive technology, there is some glitch that isn't making this happen. I am not blaming a specific place per se, except I am a little frustrated with Adobe especially since they have not gotten back to me, and I am frustrated with their customer service. JAWS customer service and Microsoft customer service were both exemparly, and I cannot say enough good things about them. My wasted time with Adobe however, that was disrespect in my opinion. And I certainly will not pay to open a support ticket, and my workplace has a site license. They've paid enough already.
If you've read this far, thank you. I look forward to replies, or at least understanding. And if anyone has ideas, I'd appreciate it very much (yes, I have tried taking the page numbers off and using Adobe's page number feature, but that would not allow Roman numerals. Only Arabic.).

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

Converted MS Word 2007 to Adobe Acrobat 9 random "Bad Parameter" Error

Question: I Converted MS Word 2007 file which contained 892 pages into Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard afterwards and while needing to update only certain pages I receive the "Bad Parameter" Error. My process is using drop down Document/Extract pages(make my updates)/Replace pages into complete PDF file/ usually with no problem then towards the last pages of the PDF the Error showed up! I believe that it’s possible, the conversion initially may have allowed many tags to be written correctly but some are corrupted. It could be a buffer-overflow failsafe that is having an adverse effect against the two programs because of the file’s size? I have seen some good advice come from many people on this site like "Bill@VT" and "CtDave" and others so I am humbly requesting assistance? Some additional background information is I have to keep the file size the same and I cannot print to PDF file from Word due to a specific format I must keep and most of the PDF is not corrupt: meaning receiving the "Error". I would like to know if the error that seems to be due to the conversion process can be corrected. I have provided some additional similar post below from other customers that may be useful as reference material? R/ Thanks in advance!
“Like 10 others, I get a "bad parameter" pop-up window when I try to delete 1 or more pages from a PDF created from Adobe 8 Pro from Microsoft Word 2007. Of the 3 computers we have tried to delete the pages, we are running Windows XP and Office 2007 on all. But 1 computer has Adobe 7 Pro, one has Adobe 8 Pro, and the 3rd has Adobe 9 Pro. None are able to delete or extract the pages -- we get the bad parameter error each time we try. The PDF has 260 pages and occupies 5.7 MB memory. What additional information can I provide to get a resolution to this problem? Thanks!” “Civilengr10” (posted Aug 17, 2010)
“I am taking adobe files from a database, saving them, and then making changes to them by inserting (from other adobe files from the same database) or deleting pages. Very basic stuff! However, sometimes when I want to insert pages, it will insert them but then say "bad parameter". After that point, I cannot delete any pages. It will give me the "bad parameter" error again and not delete. I have reduced the file size, ran "Examine Document" and removed whatever it wanted me to, and whenever I save a file, I do Save As...instead of Save! Also, under preferences > security I have the "Verify signatures when the document is opened" unchecked. None of these recommendations that I have read elsewhere work. Can someone offer me some guidance? I am working on the files locally. I save the files from the database unto my own folder on the computer. The thing is, some of the files I download from the database are fine and do not give me any error, but others do. Do you know how I can fix the files that are corrupted from the database?” “hoda64” (posted July 22, 2009)
“Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9
I have a Word 2007 DOC (not docx) file with pictures and text which converted perfectly with Distiller 8. I installed CS4 Distiller 9, and now the same DOC file flows over onto several extra pages. I am using the default settings. Any idea what has changed? Thanks in advance. “Petrula” (posted Nov 29, 2002) “First, select the Adobe PDF printer in WORD. Then go through the document to check for the flow of the document. It should print the same as you see in the document after the printer has been selected.”

For the replace and delete pages, I can only guess that you are messing up some of the bookmarks or links in the page from what I think you have based on the description. I would work on copies between each stage so that you can at least go back to the last success stage. If possible, you are better to go back and do the modifications in the original page and the recreate the PDF. If that is not possible, then maybe a better explanation of how you are creating the PDF would help folks understand your process fully and suggest a solution.
On the latter, I would do a repair on Acrobat. However, it may be in the process you are using in the conversion from WORD. How are you creating the PDF from WORD? Have you updated AA9 and not simply have 9.0? The confusing point is that you talk about Distiller for getting the PDF from WORD. Distiller is often involved, but only behind the scenes and normally you either print to the Adobe PDF printer, use PDF Maker, or use the MS plugin for PDF creation. So when stating Distiller, it is unclear what process you are using since none of the methods I mention state the use of Distiller even if it is used in the background.

Word 2007 "Save as Adobe PDF" - Pictures not showing up in PDF

Good Afternoon,
I have run into this error recently when using the "Save as Adobe PDF" to publish Word 2007 report.
Each report has an table - pasted from Excel 2007 "as a picture - when printed". The reports have a ton of other jpg pictures.
After creation, when I open the PDF, some of the tables appear to have become transparent. Where the picture used to be is a selection box, as if there were a picture there, but it's merely blank. All of the photos, frames, and Word-based tables show up. Some of the pasted-from-Excel tables also show up, not these ones.
Is there a reason for this discrepency? Is there a way to resolve the issue? I used the search bar and found nothing that matched my issue. All of my software is up to date.
Thank you for whatever help you can provide.
J

did you ever solve this issue? I have the same problem and "view large images" is the only answer I can find and it DOES NOT WORK.
I posted the question elsewhere, but nobody has replied. here's my situation:
When creating PDF documents from any software (Illustrator, Corel, InDesign, etc), color objects over 50% of the page size have white fill. If object has an outline, the outline will appear normally, but the fill will be white. I've searched forums everywhere and have found no answer. Most forum topics on this are issue focus on settings in the program that exported the PDF. I am 100% sure this is not an export problem, but is something in Acrobat itself (a missed setting? Corrupt program file?)
To provide the best information, I've done a little scientific research. Here is what I know:
Currently running Acrobat Pro 9.5.5
This is only happening on ONE install of Acrobat 9. Documents display correctly in Reader X and in Acrobat 9 on other machines.
Started happening a few weeks ago, I have no idea what changed.
"Show Large Images" in preferences dialog is checked. Unchecking it and rechecking it does nothing.
Have installed all available updates to the software

Adobe Acrobat v8.1.2 - PDFMaker COM Add-in not loading in Word 2007

PDFMaker COM Add-in is now not loading in Word 2007 at startup. But, it loads just fine for the rest of the Office 2007 apps. It loaded just fine, all operational, until 1-2 months ago. Now I have no access to Acrobat in Word 2007 except for print to that printer. There are now no buttons on the ribbon for direct access to Adobe Acrobat functions as there used to be. When I look in the COM add-ins area of Word 2007, it tells me PDF Maker is not loaded and that I cannot change the connected state of Office Add-ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the Regedit.
Am running MS Office 2007 SP-1 on Vista SP-1 x82. This behavior was going on before the recent SP-1's were installed, so pre-existing condition. Everything else is performing quite well. REALLY! I am very pleased with Vista.
Guidance, help, etc is most appreciated. THANKS!!!

I had the same issue. The COM Add-In for PDFMaker was disabled by Word 2007 due to an unexpected crash during the creation of a PDF. I have searched all over the place trying to find a way to get the PDFMaker functionality active again in Word 2007 including the solutions mentioned in this post. In the end I found a solution myself.
1. Go to Word Options > Add-ins
2. Go to the Manage drop down dialog at the bottom of the page and select Disabled Items. Click Go.
3. A dialog will open that displays all the disabled add-ins. Select Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin.
4. Click the Enable button.
5. Close and reopen MS Word and the Acrobat menu should be available again.

Distiller 8.0 / Word 2007: Loss of Summation and Integral Signs in Equations

Software: MS Word 2007 and Acrobat 8.0 on Windows Vista. Issue: I have a huge word file with numerous complex equations produced by field codes (not the Word Equation Editor, which is too cumbersome for this task). Many of them feature integral and summation signs. When distilling the file, none of the integral and summation signs which are part of these equations show up. One relatively simple example: {EQ f(r) = \I\Su(h=-¥,¥, ah cos(2p hr) + bh sin(2p hr))}. The code \I\Su(,,) is supposed to produce a summation sign, and it shows up nicely in Word and when I print it with just about any printer, but distiller eats the S/Sigma (or the integral/ò) signs. It does convert any Sigma entered as plain Symbol Greek text, but not when produced by field codes.
According to http://www.math.clemson.edu/~bmoss/math_on_web/math2C.htm, this issue isn't new but has been around in older versions of Distiller/Word.
Question: is there a fix for this? (or if it has been addressed before in any forum and I missed it despite my searching for a long time, please indicate where I can find infos about this).
Thanks in advance (had it misfiled(?) in the forum Distiller Server Windows...)

I now found a fix for the problem. The problem is that Distiller does not convert any "Symbol" font characters beyond code no. 220, which is where the summation and the integral sign are located. It is advisable to use other math fonts instead, like, e.g., the "Unicode Symbols" font (free dowload from http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/download.html), and to NOT use Word's equation editor function \i to create integrals or sums, as it relies on above Symbol font. Instead, use a nested overwrite function: \o(\o(∑, h=-¥),¥).

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

Word 2007 to Adobe 8 or Adobe 9 hyperlink conversion problems.

My company has about 40 Adobe Professional licenses.
I cannot get my Word 2007 hyperlinks to convert during a pdf package process. I have tried so many things like changing all the docx to pdf extensions in each of the links either manually or through ReplaceMagic product. I have moved all the 200 procedures into one directory instead of their separate sub directories. I have run document inspector to clean out all but the headers/footers. I keep getting errors usually with "Documents and Settings" as part of the file path. My project is an "Operations and Procedures Manual" with over 200 procedures that have tons of hyperlinks to each other and a directory of about 170 forms (they don't need to be part of the package...just referenced). The procedures we want to open up in pdf format so that they can be searched and cross referenced for terms like "flare" or "safety. The forms we want to remain in Word format for now. I have a table of contents that works great as far as the hyperlinks go when accessing from Word. We need to put this out to over 100 laptops and some desktops in a timely manner. The editing process we can tackle latter...it is this publishing process we need help on.
A side bar problem is that I found a procedure with a problem so I deleted it from the pdf package, went to Word and fixed it (accepted track changes). When I reinserted it back into the package in pdf form, it throws it to the top of my navigation panel instead of numerically with the 10's procedures. I can use the option button at the bottom to sort numerically but it won't stay put after I exit and come back in.
One last problem is that some converted pdfs reflect page 1 of 1, 2 of 2 instead of the 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 as it did in Word. I have reopened the original documents, but can't see any difference between the ones that work and the ones that don't.
My current directory structure is
c:\KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual
C:\KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual\10's Administration
C:\KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual\20's Compression
\KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual\Forms
The Table of Contents is in KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual.
We need to do edits on this so...the many hundreds of links need to stay in tact.
Any answers would really help me out and make my day..week..month. Thanks for any response.

A few ideas:
I cannot get my Word 2007 hyperlinks to convert during a pdf package process.
In Word, make sure your Adobe PDF conversion setting include Add Links. Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings > Settings tab, Application Settings area, check Add Links.
I keep getting errors usually with "Documents and Settings" as part of the file path......We need to put this out to over 100 laptops and some desktops in a timely manner.
In your example files, many of the links are pointing to your temporary directory. This will cause problems. You need to relink to the proper folder location. For this to work for other employees, the folder location must be accessible by all on the network.
I can use the option button at the bottom to sort numerically but it won't stay put after I exit and come back in.
You can choose how your portfolio is initially sorted (screenshot.52).
One last problem is that some converted pdfs reflect page 1 of 1, 2 of 2 instead of the 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 as it did in Word.
This is often the result of images or document elements extending into the header and footer area. Check and correct this. You will likely see that it happens when printing to paper as well.

Word 2007 to pdf in Adobe Standard 8.1 errors

I have an XP PC with Word 2007 and Adobe Standard 8.1. I'm having issues converting some
word docs to pdf but not all. You click on the acrobat tab in Word and run the converter, but it stops midway thru the process and says "Error" Other documents work fine. Could it be a template issue or something in the document itself that Adobe doesn't like, ie a symbol, format, font?? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Often it is a document issue, combined with some of the screwy ways that OFFICE 2007 is working. You might try saving parts of the document to another file and delete parts until you find where there is a problem. That might likely point to the issue. Also, try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to check for potential issues. One thing that can crop up with the PDF Maker is that you run out of memory in the TEMP folder. To check that, turn off adding tags to the PDF (really bloats things) and try again. If it works, it is likely a memory issue and cleaning out the TEMP folder might take care of the problem.

Adobe acrobat x pdf save as word 2007 docx

Created a one page Adobe Illustrator (cs 5.5) document. Saved as PDF. Converted pdf to word 2007 document with acrobat x pro. When viewing on my machine it is one page - when another person views same resulting word document - it is 13 pages. Sent it to another person and it is 2 or 3 pages? Why is this happening?

Bernd,
Yes they all were using word 2007.

With Word 2007 & Adobe Acrobat 8 - Unable to convert to PDF

I do not have the PDF Maker icons available on my Office Word 2007 application. I tried to go through my Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard application as well and it stated that it doesn't support the document that I'm trying to convert and to go to Print to select Conver to PDF. When I go to my print options, no such option is available. Can someone tell me what I need to do to convert my Word document to PDF?

See if this Microsoft product will work
