Adobe reader/Microsoft Office 2003 problem

When downloading pdf file which opened to Microsoft Office I was presented with a File conversion window which invited me to " Select the encoding that makes your document readable"
I have not come across this before and have previously successfully downloaded files from the same source.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Alistair.

Usually you can just right-click on a pdf and choose Open With and instead of choosing something from the list instead select Choose Program at the bottom of the flyout. Then choose Reader and then check Always use the selected program...you should now be able to click on a pdf and have it open in Reader instead of Word.
Good Luck!

  • Problem with Groupwise 7 and Adobe Reader/Microsoft Office products

    We recently went to Groupwise to handle corporate external email (we've been using it for years for internal email). We've run into a little trouble. The first trouble is that we had to manually push out registry settings using ZENworks (changes we took were from the tool available at- http://tinyurl.com/2su3vt). We are having trouble now with emailing from a third party program.
    For example, we've got many users who email a file using Adobe Reader.Using a "clean" VMWare machine, I install Groupwise (7.0.2 currently)and install Adobe Reader and try to send the email and it works.
    When the users try to use it, though, it prompts them to use either"Novell Default Settings" or "Novell Groupwise." They can hit okay, and neither of them work. They get an error message and the message does not send.
    If they try to send from Word or Excel, they get a similar message.
    I'm led to believe that this is some sort of trouble with Windows Messaging, but I can't put my finger on it. So, here's what I've tried today - reinstalled wms and ran fixmapi.exe. Double checked to see that IE is the correct email program in IE.
    Didn't work.
    "Push out" application that assigns Groupwise as default email client.
    Reinstalled Groupwise
    Reinstalled Adobe Reader
    Nothing... still is giving me an error in Reader "An error occurred while sending mail." Anyone experience similar trouble - especially with Adobe Reader (which has many important documents our users use to email).
    Thanks in advance,
    Brent Hanson--

    I'm experiencing the same exact problems.  Were you able to find a resolution?

  • Microsoft Office 2003 Installation Problem

    I tried to upgrade the old microsoft office to a newer Microsoft Office 2003 but I expirience an error on it and it say's "ERROR 1913.Set up cannot update file C:\Windows\win.ini. Verify that the file exist in your and that you have sufficient permission to update it".What am I going to do with that?

    Hi Ben
    Toshiba has nothing to do with that. In my opinion the answer must be search on some Microsoft Office forum or Microsoft knowledge base.

  • Acrobat Standard 8 on Windows 7 printing issues with Microsoft Office 2003

    When I try to print from Microsfot Word, Excel, etc. Version 2003 files will not print. I have adobe standard version 8, Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 bit, Microsoft Office 2003. Please help!!!!  I don't get an error message. The progress bar stops at about 10% and goes no further.

    AA8 is not certified for Win7, particularly X64. Be sure to update your Acrobat to the most current version and you might be able to use it. As an alternative, print to file when using the printer and then open the file in Distiller to get the PDF. That may be your only choice, but I do think some folks have been successful with WIn7 and AA8. However, the x64 system puts a wrench into the problem.

  • Microsoft Office 2003

    Hi,
     I recently purchased a new computer to replace my other one that died of old age. I was running Windows XP professional and I had Microsoft Office 2003 on it. My new computer is running Windows
    7 but no Office. So I installed my Microsoft Office 2003 on it. The installation went well but I keep getting an end users box that needs me to agree to the terms of use before I can use any part of it. It isn’t a major problem but just a pain. It is a genuine
    copy of Office and was registered and activated with Microsoft in my name when I purchased it which brings me to my questions.
    1. Is it necessary to purchase a newer version of Office? ( I’m not a wealthy person)
    2. Is there compatibility Patches to bring Microsoft Office 2003 up-to-date?
    3. If not why not?
    4. How do you get rid of that @*#$%! Box.
    Thank you
    Lawrie  

    Hi Lawrie,
    Office 2003 is fully compatible with Windows 7, 32-bit as well as 64-bit operating systems.

    If necessary, you could contact local Microsoft customer service to confirm if you can upgrade Office 2003 to newer Office.
    Note: Microsoft ended support for Office 2003 on April 8, 2014. This change has affected your software updates and security options.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
    programs.

  • Where is the logfile for Acrobat Pro Extended 9.2 on Windows ? (regarding Microsoft Office 2003)

    My installation of Acrobat Pro extended works printing all types of Microsoft Office 2003 documents (Word, Excel, Pagemaker, etc) but NOT with Powerpoint and I'm trying to get more information other than what I'm seeing in Powerpoint when I try to create the PDF which is "an error occurred while trying to print the Adobe PDF"
    where would I look for the log file?

  • What to do about Microsoft Office 2003, Windows Presentation Foundation & Google Update.

    I am not sure what to do about the following 3 third-party plugins. It appears that the Windows Presentation Foundation plugin "has a major security vulnerability that can be exploited by malicious websites as described in the Firefox Article "How to enable and disable Windows Presentation Foundation." It seems that the easiest way to deal with this plugin is to disable it via the add-ons manager. My question do the other two plugins pose security risks - should I disable them. I have tried to find additional information on all three plugins and cannot seem to ascertain whether they need to be updated or if, in fact, there are updates for these plugins. I am not sure if they are even compatible with Firefox, perhaps they been added to the Mozilla Add-ons block list. At any rate, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    The three plugins in question are:
    Microsoft Office 2003 Unkown ? Research Office plugin for Netscape Navigator plugin
    Windows Presentation Foundation Unknown ? Research
    (WPF) plugin for Mozilla Browsers plugin
    Google Update Unknown ? Research
    Google Update
    Thank you in advance.

    hello, i have those plugins on my computer too but have always kept them disabled because i'm not exactly sure what functionality they offer - i have never encountered any site that would depend on them or would cause problems without them, so you can likely just disable them without any harm...

  • Buttons on toolbar do not work in Microsoft Office 2003 programs.

    I am using Adobe Acrobat Elements 6.0.  My toolbar buttons do not work in any of my Microsoft Office 2003 programs.  I can Print file and change the print file to Adobe PDF to convert, but it would be nice to be able to use these buttons on the tool bar.  When I run my mouse cursor over the buttons it tells me to "see Adobe PDF menu for settings."  Can anyone help me?

    Did the buttons previously work in Office 2003?
    The best information I could find is a troubleshooting guide: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/317/317147.hml  Make sure your installation of Acrobat and Office are fully updated.
    As a side note, Adobe stopped developing Acrobat Elements in 2007. http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/acrobatel.html

  • Microsoft Office For Mac Os X & Microsoft Office 2003--Help Please!!!!!!

    My new job requires me to be very familuar with Microsoft Office 2003 for Windows, however currently I use Mac os X. Can I learn office on the mac? How different is Microsoft Office Version X (the one I have now) versus Microsoft Office 2003 for windows. Thanks!!

    Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

  • Trouble installing Microsoft Office 2003 on my mac

    Hello all,
    I was just attempting to install Microsoft Office 2003 (Student and Teacher Edition) on my Mac and I haven't had much success thus far.
    Basically I've put the install disc into my Mac, the disc icon pops up on my desktop, but I can't seem to get it to install. Should it be doing this automatically, or is there something else I need to do? I've tried dragging the disk icon to my applications folder, but not luck.
    I feel like this is a relatively elementary issue, but I haven't been able to find any other help regarding this specific problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your time,
    Garrett

    Office 2003 is for Windows only. 2004 and 2008 run on Mac OS.
    If you are in fact using 2004 or 2008, then please post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products at http://www.officeformac.com/productforums

  • Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    When reading PDF attachments, I get the following:  Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have tried to remove Adobe Reader via Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs but that won't work.  I get this:  This patch package could not be opened.  Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package. I don't know how to do what is being asked.  I have tried to download Adobe Reader again but get this when I do:  Note:  this application already installed.
    I have Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) with an update installed on 2/19/2011.  I have Windows XP SP3.
    Anyone who can help me get Adobe Reader working correctly again or uninstalling it so I can reinstall.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the input.  Did you remove Adobe Reader 10 first before you downloaded the older version?  If you removed it, how did you do that?  The add/remove programs in control panel won't let me remove it -- it says a patch package can't be opened.

  • KM Image file name for Microsoft Office 2003 documents

    We want to change the images which display for Microsoft Office 2003 files loaded into KM to something more recognizable, but we CANNOT find the image files for .XLS, .DOC, .PPT, etc.
    Any Ideas what they are called?  Are they in the standard image repository?
    Thanks!

    Hi Brian,
    the icons are saved under /etc/public/mimes/images.
    You can go to KM Content and upload there your own icons, You can either replace the SAP standard ones (ie: document.gif for .DOC) or you can change the KM Configuration (Content Management -> Utilities -> Icons) so that your own icons are associated with the MIME types you want to change. The second solution should be more upgrade safe in my opinion.
    Hope this helps,
    Robert

  • Any API to read Microsoft Office files in CLDC devices?

    Hello,
    Is there any API(Like Apache POI API, for J2SE) available to read Microsoft Office files in J2ME (CLDC)? I think Apache POI API can not be used in J2ME. Am I right?
    Your comments and/or help will be greatly appreciated.
    Best Regards,

    To be able to edit files you need to purchase an additional application.
    Quickoffice is the app you need and it's available here:

    It may also be available in the ovi store.

  • POI Reading Microsoft Word 2003 docs

    Anybody having success reading Microsoft Word 2003 documents using POI? I just tried it for the first time today. I've got a compound document with lots of pages and an embedded Excel spreadsheet. POI found seven DocumentEntries, but the bytes I extract are gibberish when I print them. Any advice? Thanks - %

    The WordDocument that once was part of POI no longer appears.
    I have been able to get something out of POI, but it's not 100% useable. So I went and downloaded OpenOffice.org's SDK. I think it's even more convoluted and unusable.
