Automatically creating fields when distilling Word document

I have a large number of Word documents that are periodically published in pdf format. These documents contain several fields requiring user input. Is there a way I can tell Acrobat to automatically convert a Word field into a pdf field? Using the form wizard doesn't work for me as there are far too many potential fields and removing those is quite tedious. Some of these documents are updated and published on a regular basis, and inserting all the necessary fields is taking too much time. My only other option at this point is going back to Word forms, and I really would rather not...

If the form wizard doesn't work as well as you'd like, the other option would be to make your revisions to the Word document, create a new PDF, open the old one and use "document>Replace pages. This will replace the background pages and leave the existing form fields intact. You will of course have to move them around if they're position in the updated content has changed but it's still easier than replacing all of them every time you update a document.

Poor graphics redraw when scrolling Word documents

I have a strange blurring effect when scrolling Word documents on my Macbook pro, as if the graphic card had trouble refreshing: the screen is interspersed by horizontal irregular lines that make it impossible to read the text.
I have recently replaced the logic board. Anyone has an idea of what this could be?
Thank you for the help!

I've only seen this in Word, and only in Page Layout view. It does not occur in Notebook view (although there are other stability issues with that view). At the moment I'm working on a 125 page document that I am writing, and scrolling through there are no problems.

Automatically create playlists when buying song collections

I remember that in previous versions there was a setting under Preferences/Store to the effect that when you bought an imix or another collections it would automatically create a playlist. Since this setting no longer appears in the prefs as of version 8, I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a plist variable I could alter or add to re-enable this functionality.

Turning off the option - I doubt - will change the 'Purchases' list. I have it 'off' in my prefs and I still have all iTS purchases added to the 'Purchases' list.
From the iTunes Help menu and a search for "song collection": <You can set iTunes to automatically create playlists when you buy collections from the iTunes Store, such as iMixes, submitted by iTunes users; and iTunes Essentials, favorites chosen by an iTunes Store staff of experts.>

When I want to download anything even pdf's it automatically converts it to a word document, so I cannot even see the documents, pictures, forms or anything. Thank you

When downloading anything Firefox downloads it as a word document causing the document to appear as letter and numbers without sense. Firefox has done it for all documents that as pdf's are in a site, so I can not save them or downloaded, but not even read them.

When downloaded Adobe reader, a Fire Fox down loader window appeared and after several minutes a message said that it was downloaded, but a run window never appeared, so I clicked on the program (on that little fire fox downloader window) and it opened a word document with encoded letter. AGAIN!

SharePoint prompting for password when saving word document

Saving a word document back to SharePoint always prompts for credentials.
I am the administrator for a SharePoint farm. We have enabled kerberos, and added the portal to the intranet zone in Internet Explorer by group policy. Most of the time this limits the amount of password prompts our customers see (including viewing the portal
in a browser, and opening documents); however, we are still getting the prompt for credentials when trying to save a word document back to SharePoint.
Here are some details: - SharePoint 2010 - Word 2010 - Kerberos enabled - Portal added to intranet zone in IE - Checkbox for passing automatic credentials enabled
Can anyone help? Is there something I've missed? Is this prompt just unavoidable?

Hi,
Internet Explorer uses the Web Client service when you use Internet Explorer to access a
WebDAV resource. The Web Client Service uses Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP) to perform the network I/O to the remote host. WinHTTP sends user credentials only in response to requests that occur on a local intranet site.
However, WinHTTP does not check the security zone
settings in Internet Explorer to determine whether a Web site is in a zone that lets credentials be sent automatically.
Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press
ENTER.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click
Multi-String Value.
Type AuthForwardServerList, and then press ENTER.
On the Edit menu, click Modify.
In the Value data box, type the URL of the server that hosts the Web share, and then click
OK.
Note You can also type a list of URLs in the
Value data box. For more information, see the "Sample URL list" section in this article.
Exit Registry Editor.
After this registry entry is created, the WebClient service will read the entry value. If the client computer tries to access a URL that matches any of the expressions in the list, the user credential will be sent successfully to authenticate
the user, even if no proxy is configured.
Note You have to restart the WebClient service after you modify the registry.

Create PDF from a Word document within Acrobat

Hi!
I am having trouble to create a PDF from a Word document within Acrobat itself, and not by using PDF Maker in Word. When I try to create a PDF using Acrobat, it gives me the choice to choose any Office format file, but Word format doesn't appear. I can convert from an Excel document or a PowerPoint document, but not from a Word document, even if Word 2010 is installed and works perferctly. Why?
I know I can make a PDF in Word itself by printing to the Adobe PDF printer or by using PDF Maker, but I want to resolve the issue in Acrobat that prevents me to select a Word document in the Create PDF dialog window. You can see the dialog box in the screenshot attached.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am using Acrobat X version 10.1.8 on Windows 7 Home Premium and I have Office 2010 installed (with Word 2010).

Thanks for your reply. PDF Maker works in all of my Office applications. However, in Acrobat, the file formats available for me to create PDF from figure all the Office file formats except the one for Word. This is not normal. At my school, Acrobat X and Office 2007 are installed, and I can use there both PDF Maker in Word and creating PDF from Word document within Acrobat.
So I think maybe there's a key in my Windows registry that is not set correctly? or something like that. I repaired the installation of Office 2010, and I did so for Acrobat X too, but it doesn't help. Any idea of how I can resolve that?

Field codes in Word document

Hi,
This issue keeps occuring when I generate a printed document
from RoboHelp.
I am not choosing the Word template in the final setting
page, but just letting robohelp use the css template.
Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this & how to
resolve it?
many thanks

If I understand your issue correctly, you're seeing paragraph
marks, space marks, and fields in the final Word document. If so,
click the
Show/Hide button in Word to turn this feature off. When you
next generate your Help file, it'll look just fine from the get-go
(I hope).

Error when importing Word document

I am having a problem importing a Word document. This is the
first time I have experienced the problem.
Partway through the import (it appears to be attempting to
open the Word document) I get a message:
A file error has occurred.
Try one or more of the following:
*Check the disk drive to make sure the disk is properly
inserted
*Check the disk or the disk drive to make sure there is not a
hardware problem
*Check the network connections.
Things I have tried:
1. Reboot of the machine that has both RoboDemo (V5) and the
Word document.
2. Renaming the Word document to something with a shorter
name.
3. Taking out large sections of the document and then
retrying. Repeat until the document is empty.
I have searched this forum as well as the general web for any
information. Help! I'm on a tight deadline and I just can't kill
any more time screwing around with this.
Thanks in advance,
Sarah-Jane
PS. I would be willing to send/attach the document if it
would help someone.

I started the import just before going to bed last night and
it was still running when I killed it this morning. It did not
error with the message you got but I did get a Microsoft Word
message:
The server application, source file, or item cannot be found.
Make sure the application is properly installed.
The import was stuck on the graphics under Metadata Format. I
don't know if the callouts you had created in Word were the cause
but you cannot have those in RoboHelp HTML which is going to give
you a problem as the document is heavy on them.
Back to the import. Is there something in your document that
is pointing to a server? Is the template on a server or is your
normal template on a server instead of being local?
Also I notice you said RoboDemo. Did you mean that?

Duplicated styles when opening Word document: Heading 1 A, Heading 1 AA,etc

I'm trying to get rid of Word and all the Windows in my office.
But when I import a Word document into Pages, it will duplicate the Styles. Heading 1 becomes Heading 1 AND Heading 1 A.
If I happen to export the Pages document to Word and back to Pages, then Heading 1 AA will appear (and I suppose that each time another one would appear: AAA, AAAA, AAAAA, until the style drawer explodes or something).
The problem is that styles act funny when this happens (character sizes are not correctly applied, for instance) and it is not acceptable in an office environment.
But maybe there is a simple solution to this.
If you have any ideas why this happens please help. This happens with docs created originally in Word and also with a new document created from Pages too.
Thanks!

Peter, as you mentioned it I went to check Bean out, but it is not a full replacement for Word, which is what we are looking for. Looks interesting as a light editor, though. Thanks.
I discovered how to get rid of the A ... AA styles simply by deleting them, Pages asks which style to use as a replacement, so I can manually fix the duplication, but it is impossible to do this every time and for every style (we have documents with dozens of styles). Moreover it is a productivity killer.
Again, I suspect I'm not the only person in the world with this. It happens every time for every conversion (even if I create a new Pages document from a blank template). Is there a way to avoid this?
Thanks!

SAP OLE - Create Hyperling on a Word Document

Hi,
My next step of creating a word document using OLE is to define some hyperlinks on a document. I have ran a macro in word to 'see what it does' when manually creating a hyperlink. Below is the macro: -
    ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection.Range, Address:="", _
        SubAddress:="_Program_Z_OPEN_HRS_UPD_WRF1", ScreenTip:="", TextToDisplay _
        :="This is the program"
I have tried to implement this using ABAP with no success. Maybe because I still dont fully understand how to interprete these marcos as ABAP.
Has anybody created a hyperlink on a word document before, if so, seeing the code would be a great help.
Thanks
Martin

Never mind, with a bit of jiggery pokery, I fixed it myself.

Creating table in MS Word document via OLE: how can I specify column width

What method and properties do I need to use in order to specify the width of each column in a MSWord table created via ABAP using OLE ? Or, better yet, how can I create a table where the columns are sized using the Autofit feature?
I am already familiar with the standard sample code for creating a word document that contains a table (found in ZOLE_WORD_DOC_CREATE).
Tom Eshelman

I found a solution - although I would still be interested if anyone knows how to turn on autofit when creating a table, The following code can be used to specify the width of one cell at the same time it is filled with data. I found this in an old SDN posting.
FORM write_cell_in_table USING    p_row
                                   p_col

                                   p_font
                                   p_size
                                   p_bold

OLE error when opening word document

Hi,
I have a form that allows update of word documents stored in blob fields in the database.
The form works fine. except that if I open and update a document that has a footer and then save the document back into the database without the footer, it is no longer possible to open it.
Can anyone help?
Sometimes I get FRM 40922 : An OLE error occurred 0x80004005
Otherwise when I click on the icon nothing happens.
Thank you
Michael

I can avoid this problem by leaving the footer and returning to the main document view before saving the document.

Color Handling when saving Word document as PDF, containing CMYK TIFF image?

What is the proper procedure for creating PDFs from Word documents that contain a CMYK TIFF image? I have created a company logo by exporting an AI file with Pantone colors as a TIFF (with a CMYK color profile, since there is the intention of printing). Since it is a logo, color consistency is important and the utmost priority. I will be needing to insert this file into a Word document that will then be converted into a PDF.
I've read somewhere that Word automatically converts images to RGB, and also have come across potential problems of colors being changed in the final PDF through unmanaged color handling and conversions. I figured instead of running around in circles trying to find the best solution, I'd post on here. Is this procedure possible? What is the best way to do this without changing my original color profile or CMYK values of the logo being used?
This PDF has the intention of being placed online for offices to print/publish.
Thanks!

Though actually, let's take a step back -- why do you want to use CMYK? Most offices won't be using PostScript printers, so the CMYK will be converted to RGB for printing. For publishing - do you know the required CMYK profile to use for all possible publishing scenarios? Properly tagged RGB is generally considered the way to deal with this in modern workflows not targeted at a specific press. But still probably not with Word!

Inconsistent Behavior When Displaying Word Document

I use the following code to display an OrdDoc object on a web page using a servlet. When the object is a Word document and it is being displayed for the first time, the Word application handles the document. The second time it is displayed, the IE browser plug-in handles the document. Can you tell me why this is so? How can I get the Word document to just display in the IE browser everytime? Image objects are consistently displayed in the browser. Thank you.
OrdDoc ordDoc = (OrdDoc)rset.getORAData(1,(ORADataFactory)OrdDoc.getORADataFactory());
OrdHttpResponseHandler handler = new OrdHttpResponseHandler(actionRequest.getHttpRequest(),actionRequest.getHttpResponse());
handler.sendDoc(ordDoc);

The ORDDoc type will not be able to recognized the WORD document and set the mimetype attribute correctly. Thus when you populate the object you should set the mimetype attribute yourself using the setMimeType() method of ORDDoc.
When the object is fetched and sent on by the HttpResponseHandler, the handler will use the mimetype setting to set that field in the Response header. This should help browsers to handle the content correctly.

Automatic Batch creation when posting 103 document

hi all,
i want a modification in the system. currently in our system, when 101 document is created in MIGO, system automatically creates a batch. But when 103 is done, batch has to be created manually in the system and in qa32 while doing quality usage decision, user has to assign batch to inspection lot. what i want that in 103 as well, batch autmatically creates like 101 and inspection lot is assigned to batch automatically. Is this possible? If yes then what configurations i have to do?
Best Regards,
AI.

hi,
There are two ways of creating a batch no. in MIGO
1) Internal Number --Automatic
2) External Number -Manual entry.
Go to SPROLogistics General->Batch Management-> Batch Number Assignment>Activate Internal Batch Assignment
Click the Internal Batch Number Assignment for Assigned Goods Receipt --Select the plant ,tick it and save it.
Do the MIGO automatically Batch number will be created.
