Can not convert MSWord to PDF

I am using Acrobat 7 with Word 2003, and Windows 7. When I want to convert a file, I hit the Adobe PDF tab on top of Word. It then asks me "Save PDF as" and it generally has the file name that I just saved. I click on "Save" and it starts converting like it always had, but, now when the box comes up that says "Now printing page 1 of "whatever name document"" and then it just freezes there. I have to do the ctl alt del and then do a forced stop for it to quit. It just started doing this all of a sudden. I have not added any programs to my computer. Any ideas of how I can fix this?

Go to the Adobe PDF printer properties and change the port to File. Then try again. I am not sure where the file will be saved, but the file that is created will be a PS file, likely with a PRN extension. Then open that file in Distiller to complete the conversion. Keep in mind that I am giving you a possible work around since AcroTray will likely not work with Win7. For Win7 you really need AA9 for full functionality. If you are able to get the conversion to work this way, you might then try watched folders in Distillers. Your only choice is to try various workarounds since some parts are almost sure to fail with Win7. (I have been successful even with AA5 on Win7, though I do not recommend it. I did it as a test.) In AA7, PDF Maker that you seem to have used, is a front end for the printer.
If you want to try out basic operation, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer with the print-to-file check box activated. Then open in Distiller to complete the process. If that works, then there is hope. If you have a x64 system, then everything I have said may still fail and you may have no choice but to upgrade.

  • I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why?

    I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro for one year and it is valid to november 2015, but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why ?

    Hi m_karhulinna,
    If you have Acrobat Pro, you can save directly to Word format from within Acrobat by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
    (It sounds like you may be trying to use the ExportPDF online service, which is separate from Acrobat, and not necessary in your case.)
    Best,

  • Just downloaded adobe XI trial and can not convert pdf to word, says trial is period over

    just downloaded adobe XI trial and can not convert pdf to word, says trial is period over. what can i do

    For some reason this seems to happen to some. It may be that you have a date issue on the machine and Acrobat noted it. By the way, Adobe is the name of the company, not a product.
    I have no idea how Adobe sets and tracks the trial information. It may be there is something else that has caused an issue and Acrobat thinks you have already had the trial on the system and uninstalled it. As far as I know, there is nothing you can do. You might be able to check with sales to see if there is a work-around, but users can do nothing to help you.
    Sorry, hope you can find a way to test the product. It might also be related to the version of Windows that you did not state.

  • Font changes when converting MSWord to PDF

    Sometimes when I convert a MSWord documents to a PDF, the font changes slightly on pages where there Figures.  The font appears to be in bold.
    How can I convert to a PDF and achieve a uniform look for the font throughout my documents?
    I used MS Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat XI.

    Are the fonts graphics or actual vector fonts? It may be that you are using a bitmap font also. If it is a true vector font, then there should be no pixel issues.

    Hi Dear,
    This is Unicode problem, In unicode systme some restriction in programing.
    There is three kid of data type
    Character Processing ( C, N, D, T and STRING ).
    Byte Processing Mode ( X and XString ).
    Numeric Data Type ( I, P , F ).
    whenever in structure all kind of data types are used then you can not use WRITE and then whole structure name.
    in LFA1 in ECC6.0 if any custom fields are not added then up to length 1232 is determined as Character.
    so if you will give aa(1232) it will work similarlly other kid of remainig data tpe you move in another structure of required format and then check.
    REPORT ZT11.
    DATA: aa type lfa1.
    tables lfa1.
    select * from lfa1 into aa where lifnr > 'Z' .
    write / aa(1232).
    endselect.
    if sy-subrc 0.
    write / 'No records found'.
    endif.
    For better Understanding Check
    The following structure has both character-type and non-character-type components:
    BEGIN OF STRUC,
      a TYPE c LENGTH 3,    "Length 3 characters
      b TYPE n LENGTH 4,    "Length 4 characters
      c TYPE d,             "Length 8 characters
      d TYPE t,             "Length 6 characters
      e TYPE f,             "Length 8 bytes
      f TYPE c LENGTH 28,   "Length28 characters
      g TYPE x LENGTH 2,    "Length 2 bytes
    END OF STRUC.
    The Unicode fragment view splits the structure into four areas F1 - F5.
    [ aaa | bbbb | cccccccc | ddd | AAA | eeee | fffffffffffff | gg ]
    [            F1               |  F2 |  F3  |       F4      | F5 ]
    Offset/length access is only possible for the character-type initial fragment F1. Specifications such as struc(21) or struc7(14) are accepted and are handled as a single field of type c. An access such as struc57(2), for example, is not permitted in Unicode systems.

  • Itunes 8 can not convert to mp3

    I just updated to itunes 8 and now I can not convert to mp3 anymore! The CREATE mp3 version is greyed out and I can not pick it. I have checked and the import mp3 option is checked in the settings.

    Howdy!
    also, it appears that Apple did not update the "iTunes Help" screens when they made iTunes 8 -- those screens still refer to the "advanced" tab in preferences, even though the importing functions are no longer located there:
    THEY READ as follows:
    *Choosing import settings*
    You can choose the encoding format and other settings that iTunes uses to import songs. Your choices affect the audio quality and size of the song file (the higher the quality, the larger the file size).
    To choose import options:
    Choose iTunes > Preferences and click Import Settings.
    ETC. Well, at least they didn't do an iMove-style "revamp" to iTunes.! 8)
