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 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.

  • I use adobe acrobat pro, why do existing pdf docs open in adobe reader?

    How can I set all pdf docs to always open in acrobat pro vs adobe reader?

    If you have both programs installed you can choose which one acts as the default by opening Preferences (in either of them) and on the General tab, click the "Set default PDF handler" button.

  • I use program PDF Converter Professional.When downloading from the net I want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to open downloaded pdf forms. Adobe Acrobat is my default program but Firefox keeps using PDF Converter. How do I change this?

    Acrobat Reader is the default program for all variants of pdf files, both in Windows 7 and in Firefox.

    So you have a trial version of Acrobat (that is not activated) installed?  If so, uninstall it.
    Do you also have Adobe Reader installed?  If so, you need to open it once and accept the EULA.

  • Bookmark tree structure using Microsoft word 2007 not creating properly

    I have a word document file in MS office 2007. When i am converting the word document to a PDF file using the HEADING option , the bookmarks tree structure  in the PDF file is not created properly. Means that the between content of a topic is also read
    as a bookmark heading while conversion. Only the heading of a topic should be read as a bookmark and the sub heading as a sub-bookmark but the content should not come in the tree structure of bookmarks in a PDF file..
    For Example:- if MICROSOFT is the heading of any xyz.doc then it should be the parent bookmark. . but in my case , MICROSOFT is coming as a bookmark but the content inside this is also created as a bookmark..
    So my question is that what is the internal structure of the of the MS word 2007 to convert a doc to a PDF file???
    Because it is not creating the bookmarks tree structure properly...and taking the content randomly from the middle of a topic and adding it in the bookmark tree structure...(which should not happen). The font throughout the doc is the same and aligned properly..so
    why it is randomly taking the between text as a bookmark...???
    what is the root cause of this bug..?? how can this problem be solved..?? is there any sort of change have to be done in my word doc.?
    i need an urgent help regarding this...
    NOTE:- I am using MS office 2007.

    I tried this but didnt work for mr. Can you help? How did you PDFed??
    It works for me in Word 2010 (or later) using Save As PDF. It did not work in Word 2007 using the Adobe Acrobat PDF printer nor using Word 2007's save as pdf utility. (The hyperlink showed up but was not active.) It did work using the Acrobat tab in Word
    2007 (this requires Adobe Acrobat).
    I did this by:
    first creating the text box with the hyperlink in the body of the document and moving it into the footer area (but still not in the footer itself).
    Then I used the Format tab of Text Box Tools and the Postion button (More Layout Options).
    I gave it an absolute vertical position relative to the page.
    Then I cut the text box, went into the footer, and pasted it there.
    It might have worked to just create the text box in the footer itself.
    I personally prefer it that the header and footer are not part of the active page when I am typing. This hyperlink is not clickable in Word without going into the header/footer view and I'm fine with that. The QAT workaround is just fine.

  • Microsoft Word 2007 - Clickable Hyperlinks in Headers/Footers

    Hi there,
    I am in the process of creating a site document for a client and as it is in electronic format, I am using bookmarks and Hyperlinks to help readers navigate the document more easily.
    The problem I am having at the moment is with the documents footer. Basically, I would like to have a clickable hyperlink at the bottom of each page that will return the user to the contents page when it is clicked.
    Unfortunately though, I have not been able to work out how to this as the link is not clickable once the footer editor has been closed. Converting the document to PDF has not solved the problem either as the conversion removes the hyperlink completely.
    Surely this functionality in a document is not uncommon? I have done a fair amount of web searching about this but have not come across any real solutions yet. Manually placing a test box with the link on each page is not an acceptable solution either
    as this is a large document and will likely be edited/revised in the future.
    Any help with this would be much appreciated :-)

  • Using Adobe Acrobat XI, uploaded my form from my Word. How do I format spaces for SSN, DOB, Phone number?

    I'm trying to create a new client form how do I format the spaces numerically for DOB, SSN and phone number??? HELP! Can I do this on Adobe Acrobat XI????

    Not sure what you mean by uploaded form. Did you print to the Adobe PDF printer, use the Save As Adobe PDF, use Save As PDF or XPS, use the Acrobat menu in WORD, or try to open the word file in Acrobat directly? Assuming you printed to the Adobe PDF printer, then you select the TOOLS>Interactive and select the Form Wizard. Otherwise, you simply use the tools under the interactive menu. You might find the following video useful: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-create-pdf-forms-from-existing-documents. The form tools are under the interactive menu (I could give better direction if I was at home where I have AA XI).

  • Not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

    Hi,
    I am not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. When I try to convert, it starts the process and in between I am getting this prompt, as shown in figure below and the conversion process stops. The PDF is not created.
    Note: The filename 'Acr85.doc' in the above prompt keeps changing and is random.
    I tried clicking Yes, No and Cancel on the above prompt, but the conversion process just stops and PDF is not getting generated.
    I am able to create PDFs from web pages. No issues with that. Not working only with Word.
    Can someone help me with this.
    Thanks,

    Hey quantum info,
    Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
    Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
    How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
    Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page"  option in Acrobat.
    Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
    Hope to hear from you.

  • When printing form using Adobe Acrobat X, I get squares over my italic text

    Hi,
    I have created an Adobe Form using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and just printed it to check whether this works and the following occured:
    - When printing my 14 page document using adobe reader everything looked great
    - When printing my 14 page document using adobe prof X (not XI !) the italic text had some (non filled, seethrough) squares throughout it. The squares are not constant (5-15 squares per sentence) and I cannot recognize a pattern. However, they appear each time I print the entire document.
    - When printing only one page of the document (that has italic text on it) it prints fine with either the free adobe reader or adobe pro X.
    Font is Verdana,Italic. Size is 8,27 pt. Data is sometimes embedded (I did not use this feature and have no idea what is means). I always use Windows. Right now windows 7 to be exact.
    One more thing: as you can see above the file was created using adobe XI. However, my company uses adobe pro X and therefore the document had to be printable using adobe pro X.
    Can someone please help me? I have put a lot of time in the design of this form and not being able to print it correctly is a real dealbreaker for using it which would mean my efforts were wasted.
    I added an example to clearify:
    Best,

  • Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

    Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

    Word 2013 uses its own pdf creator engine as far as I know. The step I performed were:
    1 - In the save settings I told word to embed fonts (sorry for the language, I have the Italian client)
    2 - Export from Word -> Save As -> .pdf adding also the table of contents/index
    N.B. I cannot use PDF/A, and in any case it doesn't embed the font
    A working solution is to use Acrobat XI to convert it or print with Adobe PDF printer, results:
    The problems are 2:
    1 - It doesn't create any bookmark and doesn't create links from the table of images to the linked images
    2 - Images, also with the preset "High Quality Printing" customized using "No compression", are really ugly and if you zoom a bit more than 100% they totally be s**t. It wasn't that way with PDF created by word.
    In the end, or I find they way to open the pdf created by word and embedd the missing font, or I find a way to make Acrobat XI creating bookmarks from the word file.
    Suggestion?

  • 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.

  • Utilizing Multimedia Links - Links to Media Using Adobe Acrobat 9

    Embedding multimedia such as videos makes PDFs too large to e-mail and large to store, and each distributed PDF has to contain the video instead of the video residing in just a single location. I wanted to know whether one can embed links in the PDF to a free website such as the Acrobat.com website to store the actual video file on this site and have PDFs access the video(s)? I was thinking that since Acrobat.com allows a certain limit of storage, this seemed like a slick way to include video without dealing with large PDF sizes. I saw this done in several of the example PDFs on Adobe's website; but all the linked sites were other than Acrobat.com.
    I checked the Acrobat.com forum and it appears that my request is not possible because video files are restricted and can not be uploaded and shared on the Acrobat website. Their list of restricted video formats include MOV, WMV, FLV, XVID, DIVX, and RETG. Apparently Acrobat.com once allowed SWF format; but it was blocked because of security concerns.
    Is there a location for a non-professional to safely store multimedia files such as videos where the website and be linked to a PDF and the PDF execute the multivideo link, like in the examples shown for Abobe Acrobat 9?
    Aside from a place to store files and link to them, what video formats work best? I have a SONY video camcorder (MPG format) and want to just put several files on a website and then produce PDFs with the links to access these files to play within the PDFs. Are there some tips located somewhere on how best to link videos to a website that hosts the videos?
    Thanks in advance,

    After trying out various options suggested in this forum, I have found another solution for Word TOC links in PDF.
    My environment is as follows:
    Windows Vista
    Acrobat 9.0
    Word 2007
    Solution:
    Open the Word document.
    Place the mouse cursor at the beginning of the TOC field.
    Right-click and choose Edit Field from the shortcut menu.
    Click Table of Contents to open the Table of Contents dialog.
    Select the Show page numbers checkbox.
    Select the Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers checkbox.
    Note: While the preview on the dialog removes the page numbers, they are not removed from your TOC page.
    Click OK.
    In the Word document, hover your mouse over a TOC entry. You will notice that the entire string (and not just the page number) is now hyperlinked. 
    Generate the PDF and verify if the TOC links work.
