Border became thicker after converting to pdf

Hi,
I am using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional. I converted an excel sheet which consist of text, number, colored border (thin border). After converting to pdf, I have found that all the borders in the pdf file which i just created become thicker. I would like to have everything same as i do the print preview in excel. Could you please advice what are the posible problems and how to get this fixed? I am using both excel 2007 and 2003.
Thanks you very much for your time.

I converted it to pdf so I could fly it into Photoshop and change the resolution to 350 (I wish i could just do this in pages...it is a print design program right?
Adobe Photoshop is a colour correction and colour composition tool for professional photographers. You edit the pixel values of your photographs in this tool.
When you are done editing the pixel values, you embed the ICC RGB working space into your image, and place your image e.g. in TIFF file format into a pagination tool.
Apple Pages is a pagination tool, whether you work in continuous colum mode (typewriter style) or in area composition mode (typesetter style).
You use a pagination tool in area composition mode to
a. create frames for area composition,
b. flow text into the frames,
c. format the text with a typographic appearance.
You use a pagination tool in area separation mode to
a. create frames for area separation,
b. import ICC color managed raster images e.g. in TIFF format into the frames,
c. import ICC colour managed vector formats e.g. PDF format into the frames.
You then either stream directly to a printing device in
a. Adobe PostScript, or
b. Hewlett-Packard Printer Command Language
Or you save to disk for offline or online distribution in
a. Adobe Portable Document Format.
It has been possible to open PDF in Adobe Illustrator since version 6, if memory serves, and newer versions of Adobe Photoshop are also able to open PDF. There are a range of reasons for wanting to do this, one of which is to rasterise the PDF at a specified resolution. It is more difficult to open a PDF for the purpose of editing it, since in PostScript and in PDF the structure information in the form of blank spaces (kerning spaces, word spaces, spaces between columns) may be represented as move to commands.

When using Adobe Export PDF - I cannot save a document after converting from PDF. Why not?

Poor jpeg quality after converting from pdf.

I am trying to make a book video out of a collection of pdf files in Premiere Elements 11. Apparently Premiere does not take pdfs so I converted the pdfs to jpegs via Photoshop CS5. When I try to run the video the quality of the images is horrible - very pixalated and some of the text is unreadable. Even though Photoshop psd files are said to be useable I get the same results. Rendering did nothing. Help?

What are the pixel dimensions of your jpegs?
For now, I will assume 1920 x 1080 pixels.
In Premiere Elements 11 Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, change the project preset to:
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR [email protected]
After OK'ing the above, you will see the New Project dialog displaying your project preset.
Make sure that there is a check mark next to the option "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" in the New Project dialog, and
then OK out of there.
Back in the Premiere Elements 11 Expert workspace, use Add Media/Files and Folders/ to get your source files
into Project Assets from where you drag the source files to the Timeline. Render the Timeline content and
determine if the quality of that content playback in the Edit area monitor is improved in comparison to your prior projects.
You might also explore applying fx Effects/Blur & Sharpen/Sharpen (just a little) to the Timeline content.
What is your intended export for your Timeline content?
Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

Using Word doc after converting from PDF

I have just purchased Adobe Export PDF purely to complete a Job Aaplication form in Word rather than PDF but the Word document does not allow me to edit it properly - i.e. I cannot expand the text boxes to make them bigger and when I try to add in information like my name and the post I'm applying for, it moves existing text from the original PDF doc onto different lines. I assumed once I'd converted it I could use it like a normal Word doc but it seems not. Please advise what I'm doing wrong, thank you.

Hi Disc9,
In order to help you. Let me know which application of Adobe you are using including the version.
Also let me know the complete workflow how you convert the PDF to docx/doc.
Regards.

After converting a pdf to Word

After converting to Word (using adobe's export service), special characters appear & text is altered. What did we do wrong?

Besides Daniel's answer, you should be aware that Acrobat is not the forum for the service you are talking about. There is a separate forum for the services such as you are talking about and may be a better source of answers.

MS Project 2007 files crash after converting to .PDF files

Need some help. Currently I create complex projects schedules (3-7 pages in length) and then convert to a .PDF thru Adobe Acrobat 8.1STD and although it takes a little bit, it does create the .PDF file. However when I open in Adobe Reader and try to scroll pages, it crashes and closes out Adobe completely without any error message after about 5-10 seconds. I run MS Office 2007 Small Business and all other conversions in Excel and Word are working just fine, it is only between these two software packages. Any Suggestions??
Thanks

Dear Tom Stangler
I have used Adobe Acrobat Distiller for printing MS text files, MS PPT files for conversion into PDF.
Excel files cannot be converted, as it looses its Cell Properties, no matter which convertor you use.
However, MS Excel files can be safely embedded in Adobe PDF format using Adobe Acrobat attachment tool, wherein you can edit it, and save also.
Adobe Distiller has options for ebook, print, screen functions. It hence requires to be edited for appropriate conversions.
Since these adjustments are rather cumbersome, I exclusively use
'Cute PDF writer 2.6' Freeware which comes along with Ghostscript convertor, does excellent job of easy convertions without any errors at all. It is very user friendly. Printing any number of pages for conversion int PDF is no problem at all.

Formating issues after converting a pdf to a word document

The word document I converted from adobe does not match the PDF formatting. How do I fix that?

Hi ioannay44277706,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble converting your file. It sounds like the issue is with one particular file, is that correct? How large is that file? Are you converting via the ExportPDF web interface or via Reader?
It may be that the file is too complex to convert before the ExportPDF service times out. For starters, please try clearing the browser cache, and logging back in the https://cloud.acrobat.com. Any luck?
Best,
Sara

Bad quality after converting to PDF and direct emailing of form letters from MS Word

Hello,
when using the the "form letter" option (for creating personalized PDF files from form letters, that are then directly emailed as attachments via outlook) under the "Acrobat" add-in tab in MS Word I keep getting PDF documents with bad quality (e.g. a logo that is inserted in the document becomes very pixelated). When directly converting the same document to a PDF file using the "create PDF" option unter the "Acrobat" add-in tab in MS Word, I get a high quality pdf file with a perfectly smooth logo (very much the same as it looks in the original MS word document).
Does anyone have an idea what causes the discrepancy in quality of the pdf files that are created via the two options "form letter" and "create PDF" in the "Acrobat" add-in for MS Word?
Any help is highly appreciated,
thank you,
Hans

Maybe I have not made myself clear in the first post. What I am trying to say is, that I keep getting bad quality PDFs (e.g. pixelated logos) when using the "form letter" option (blue box in the image above) but not when using the "create PDF" option (red box in the image above) from the Acrobat add-in in MS Word. Changing the settings for pdf conversion (green box in the image above) only affects PDFs created from the "create PDF" but not the "form letter" option.
Does anyone know how to create high quality (e.g. high resolution) PDFs using the "form letter" option (blue box)?
Best regards,
Hans

How to Remove Margins after Convert to PDF

Hi yall,
I converted my document to PDF. The PDF displays fine full bleed without margins. However when I print the pdf, margins appear! What is the best way to remove them?
Thank you!

Margins are white space between the edge of the page and the text. To say you don't want the margins to appear suggests that you want text (or whatever your page is made up from) to print up to the edge of the page. I doubt that's what you want, so a clearer explanation is needed. And don't forget the version number this time.

Graphic graining after converting to pdf from Powerpoint 2007

I have a user, using Windows XP, Office 2007, Acrobat 8.1 Standard & Distiller 8. When she is in Powerpoint working on a slide her graphic looks fine. Once she hits Acrobat on her toolbar, then Create a PDF, it converts over to a pdf and her graphic looks grainy. Like some of the color is gone-not completely filled in like it was before in the lettering. Can someone please help with this, I've been researching for a while now and can't find a solution.

Sorry, all out of ideas. She may just have to live with it. The only think I can think of is a compatibility between the resolutions selected in the WORD doc and the storage to PDF. Generally PDFs do not change the resolution of a graphic unless you ask for the compression (that is part of the graphics management in the settings file with Std have a lot of compression). It may be that properly adjusting the resolution of the graphic in the PPT doc would change the issue. A lot of folks have a habit of just copying a graphic into PPT without changing the resolution to an appropriate dpi. You might try saving any graphics to a different format and insert in PPT again. Also, be aware that OFFICE 2007 does some conversions to imported images that may also be an issue (at least with DOCX and related files, not the DOC versions). I am not sure that might be an affect. You might going to a PPT 2003 compatible format and try the graphics again - I have gotten some differences (I have no clue why).
The only other thing that you might do would be to post the copies somewhere, both of a sample PPT or PPTX and a sample PDF. You may have to post a new topic since this one is so far back in the queue. I was just drifting back over old posts and noted your item. Bill

After converting PDF to word, font sometimes changes in the middle and I can't get the document all in the same font. It happened on many documents.

I am preparing a book which I want in Times New Roman. After converting from PDF files, many of the pages had other fonts, mainly Cambria in them and I couldn't get the whole document in the same font. How can I fix this?
ESharan

Fix it in Word. Converting to Word from PDF is a complex and uncertain process, just the first stage in editing. But does the book only exist in PDF? Often people go through PDF because it seems easier, while often it is harder.

Countless .png files after converting pdf to dwg

After converting a .pdf file to a .dwg file using the export feature in adobe illustrator, I find that as many as 500 .png files come with the newly made .dwg after the conversion is complete. My question is, why do all these pictures come with the .dwg file and what would I have to change, settings wise, to no longer have to delete all of those photos? (i.e. how to export ONLY the .dwg file) I thank you all in advance for you help.

We can't know. We have no idea what the file looks like, how it was created in the first place or even what version of AI you use. And not to state the obvious: You are mistaken if you think that CAD-generated PDFs or DWGs only contain vectors, so for all intents and purposes this could be totally normal within the bounds of the format and how the file was originally generated.

Rendering problems when Word document is converted to PDF

Why are sections of my Word files missing when I convert to PDF with Acrobat 11?
These gaps are apparent with postings on the web using Firefox but not with other browsers

Hi jas64,
What version of OS you are using? Have you updated Acrobat to 11.0.6 version and checked.
After converting to pdf are you trying to view the pdf on a browser? Or have you uploaded the pdf on to a website and then viewing it?
Is Firefox using Acrobat / Reader to view the pdf files or is it using it's inbuilt pdf viewer program?
Regards,
Rave

Wavy lines in bar charts after converting a Powerpoint to a pdf?

After converting a Powerpoint file to a pdf, the bar charts have wavy lines. The one thing I noticed is that the problem appeared when creating the pdf with Notes showing. If Notes are turned off, then the bars are fine.
Is there a solution for this?

Version is Office 2007.
OS is Windows 7.
Viewer - I think it is Acrobat 9 Pro.
When printing, the option to print notes is chosen. If the option is just slides, the bars in the charts are normal.
To create a PDF, the Powerpoint file is open --> then go to Print --> in the Print dialog box, change the printer name to Adobe PDF and print.
