Append Hyperlinked Documents when converting Word to PDF

I have Windows XP & Acrobat Pro 9 (which I just installed and am not real familiar with)
We have many scenarios when we have one Word document that contains several hyperlinks to other Word documents. (For example - an Index or a Court document that references hyperlinked Word exhibits, etc.)
When we convert the "one" word document to PDF - we need to somehow grab all of the other hyperlinked Word documents as well.
It would also be nice if the hyperlinks still took you to the "now appended documents" below - but at a minimum I need to at least grab the hyperlinked documents.
Any suggestions?

Empty the TEMP folder or print to the Adobe PDF printer. The latter might be worth trying to be sure things are working.
You may have to uncheck a lot of the options in the PDF Maker preferences, particularly tags. Keep in mind that large graphics require a lot of disk space in the translation as the PS format is not very memory efficient for graphics (at least from what I have seen). You might also make a copy of the DOC file and then select a graphic and choose format. In the lower left corner of the general tab is a compress button. Try that to reduce the graphics resolution and see if that solves the problem.

  • Hyperlink problem when converting Word to PDF

    Hi everyone.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard version 7.1.4 on a Windows 2000 environment.
    I am using Word XP/2002 SP3.
    I have a couple of problems when converting Word to PDF.
    When converting a long link which is in 2 lines, PDF just takes one line into account, not considering the whole link
    When I have hyperlinks that links to a web page, the link works fine in Word but in pdf, it gets the few words after the url address making the link not work.  For example.  I have a hyperlink that http://www.google.com/ and after this I have the words: "This is a sample text".  The hyperlink in pdf would then become http://www.google.comThisisasampletext
    Do you have any ideas how I can correct this?
    Thanks.

    To get the cross references, you have to use Convert to PDF (PDF Maker part of the Acrobat product). However, you first need to go to the print menu and set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Close the print menu and then do a reflow and link update of the document (ctrl-A, then F9 I think). This is needed to get the links correct since WORD reflows the document based on the printer (problem with them going to the wrong place).
    Printing to the Adobe PDF printer (the step of print to file is not needed, just print to the printer and the rest is automatic) does not include the links. PDF Maker is a PreProcessor for the Adobe PDF printer that adds PDF Marks to the PS file before it is sent to Distiller (OK, the printer when used normally creates a PS file and then invokes Distiller to complete the process - your steps did with the Adobe PDF printer is the same process done manually).
    Summary:
    1. Fix document after setting the printer to Adobe PDF.
    2. Use PDF Maker (create PDF button)

  • When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

    When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

    The original file is 32 MB:
    15 MB is images
    15 MB is Content stream
    2 MB is everything else
    After the PDF/A-1B save as:
    The file is 182 MB
    Almost 100% is Images
    It is an architecture portfolio with many complex images.  Is there a setting when I change to PDF/A that can limit the growth of the image files?

  • When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the numb

    When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the number pages start from the second page.How to keep the original format?

    Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.

  • When converting word to pdf, why does it pdf each page?

    I have a 3 page word document.  When I convert it to pdf, it converts each page & not the whole document.  Why does it do that & how can i convert all 3 pages to pdf?

  • Get wrong bookmark levels when converting Word to PDF using Acrobat 7.0

    I am using MS Word 2003, Windows XP and Adobe Acrobat 7.0.
    When converting a DOC to PDF, all features are perfect except the bookmarks are located at the wrong level, i.e., the first chapter "Introduction" is the first level, which is desired; but the second chapter and the later will be placed as the subitems of the first one. This is a severe problem for me for I need a very accurate convertion.
    P.S.  I set the convertion level of bookmarks correctly before the convertion.
    So I wonder if there is any solution relating to the settings of Word or Acrobat.
    I am using Acrobat 7 because the later versions(8.0 etc.) has the running header problem. If 7.0 is also problematic. I don't know which version can do a perfect conversion.

    Thank you for your answer Lori. I 've checked all the desired options and have done the conversion in Acrobat 8.0 and got right levels(but that one got problematic running headers). So i think this may be the problem of acrobat 7.0. I will try the other updated versions to see if there is any improvement.

  • Png within my document when converted to a pdf are printing black and white rest is color-help! WHY?

    I am creating a document in Publisher & converting to a pdf. Most of my png elements within the document, are then printing black and white from the pdf (everything else is in color)? Don't know what is going on, doesn't seem to happen on all printers, is there a setting I am missing? Help! Thanks

    Could be a setting in the PNGs when they are saved.
    Have you tried saving them as GIFs and replacing them in the document(s)?

  • Maintaining active links and objects when converting Word to PDF

    I'm using Acrobat X Standard and am trying to convert a Word 2010 file to .pdf.  The Word document has an embedded Word file within it (Insert > Object > Display As Icon), but when I convert the Word file that embedded object is not active - it's more or less a static picture.  All hyperlinks (e.g., URLs, Table of Contents) remain active links, except for the embedded object.  How do I accomplish this?

    You don't. The whole application infrastructure requird to support the insert of an object into an Office file is not something that can be sent over and into a PDF.
    It's not something supported by PDF.

  • Acrobat Professional hangs when converting word to PDF

    I am using Acrobat Professional version 7 and when i use the Convert to PDF option for a large word document it goes through the motions of converting the document but then seems to hang and i get no PDF document created. Also the Word document then says read only in the title as well.
    It works fine for small word documents just not large files with pictures.
    I have tried uninstalling Acrobat Prof and Office 2003 and re-installing both and it makes no difference.
    Can anyone provide any information on what i can try to fix this issue as
    i am out of ideas.
    Thanks

  • Character spacing when converting word to pdf

    Hello
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9, and i often use the pdf portfolio feature.
    When i am ready to combine the files in the portfolio into a single pdf, the files originally from Microsoft Word, after conversion to pdf, look fine on screen.
    However when printed out the character spacing is off, with some characters spaced closer together and other spaced further apart.
    Is this a common issue?
    How can this be resolved??
    Thank you

  • How do I lower the file size or reduce the document when converting to a PDF.

    I have to upload a doc onlind and can only upload it if it is in PDF format.  I converted it fine, but they restrict the file saize to 5 Meg or lower.  The file is one page and it says it is 6.3 Meg, so it wont except the file transfer.

    Hi speck300,
    If you'd like to reduce the file size of a PDF, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you are certainly welcome to try it for http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. In Acrobat Pro, there are several options for reducing file size, including the File > Save as Other > Reduced Size PDF and File > Save as Other > Optimized PDF.

  • Can i make copying of content impossible when converting word to pdf-file?

    When i copy my signature (for hardcopies) onto a wordfile and i wish to make it impossible for others to retrieve it from the pdf file.
    How can i realise this?

    Hi frankv,
    That isn't something that you can do during the conversion process. But, with Acrobat, you can apply security constraints to the file, which would prevent people who are viewing the PDF from copying the contents of the PDF. See Acrobat Help | Securing PDFs with passwords for more information. If you don't have Acrobat, you're welcome to give it a try. You can download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • Word 2003 crashes when converting to a PDF in Acrobat 9.3.1

    OS                    :   Windows XP Pro SP3
    Acrobat Version:   Acrobat Pro 9.3.1. 
    M.S. Product     :  Word 2003
    Not every file will crash Word 2003 when converting to a PDF using Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 but this particular file and some others will produce the following error:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[Page: 1]%%
    %%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: )  '$ $ $ &$   ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    The co-worker was receiving the same error in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 before we updated her to AAP 9.1.3.
    I have read some other threads similar to mine but none of them answer the question well enough to try anything listed there.  My co-worker can email me the Word file and I can print the file to my Adobe PDF printer just fine.  I have Acrobat Pro 7.0.
    Can anyone give me help on the cause and or solution to this problem????

    Hi,
    - syntaxerror indicates the file contains unintelligible PostScript code.
    Any discussion of postscript errors, seem to consistently point to:

  • Acrobat X 10.02 crashes when converting Word 2007 document wiht linked Visio file.

    Acrobat X 10.02 crashes when converting Word 2007 document with linked Visio file and causes a C++ runtime error in Word and crashes Word.
    To see the behavior create a short Word 2007 document with a linked Visio file (e.g., create a Visio file with one box and text and insert it as a link into a Word docx).
    No problem in Acrobat 9

    There may be some of an issue with AA X on this, but part of the blame probably goes to MS also. I would suggest you simply clip the graphic from VISIO as a vector graphic (EMF will be used by default) and not do the link and do not embed the VISIO object. The linking and use of embedded objects in WORD 2007 seems to have been a major problem and is mostly a MS issue.

  • Embedded mms-links change to open file-links when converting .doc to pdf

    When converting word documents to pdf, all of my embedded video mms-links change to local open-file type links while my http-links keep their address. Why is this?
    Since I've got about 600 of them I'm not too keen on changing them all back in Acrobat.
    The links look like this in word:
    mms://something.com/videos/file.wmv
    But turns out like this after conversion:
    Z:\catalog\mms:\something.com\videos\file.wmv
    Notice the switch of slashes from / to \ after conversion.
    Anyone got a clue?
    Thanks!

    Hi!
    My versions are:
    Word 2007 and/or Word 2003 and Adobe 9.1.0.163
    I think I solved it using this add-in:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=4d951911-3e7e-4ae6 -b059-a2e79ed87041
    and saving the .doc-files as .docx-files in word 2007 before saving them as .pdf, using the add-in.
    Thanks anyway!
