Cannot Save Word files as a PDF in Office 2013 with Office customization tool
Hello
I'm deploying office 2013 as a part of a post clone task. Using the customization tool I created an msp with the full installation (without outlook,Link, or skydrive) I noticed that I cannot save or export files as PDF files. If I do a manual
install (without MSP) I can save files as pdf. I can't find anywhere in the customization tool that allows me to choose different "save as" file types. In office 2010 I used to be able to save word files as PDF files. Any ideas would
be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
In regarding the issue, could you give me more information? Did you test to install the Office 2013 by using MSP and manual installation in the same computer? Did the other Office suits can not save files as pdf?
Let's do some test to narrow down the issue:
If you use the only one computer to test, please export a new MSP file include all the suits and use the all the default setting. Then we follow the
link to deploy again.
If the issue still exists, please try to change a computer, and update Adobe programs to install the new MSP file to test.
If you get some error message when you save as pdf through Word, please upload, I'll do more deeply research.

The installation of Acrobat trial version for 30 days seemed to succeed but after making a pdf file I could not save it into my own libraries on my computer. In the first case the system told that the trial time is over! How come? I had just installed it. Then I tried again, but now the system is requiring a "serial number". Then it said that I can find it there and there. I tried to log in there but it did not accept my password which I had just used. Ok. I changed the password and it was accepted by Adobe. But I never got any serial number anywhere. Then I tried to install Acrobat through another way. I have had Adobe Cloud and Premiere already for years. I tried to load Acrobat through there. I succeeded, but same problem again: "The trial time is 00 days". Then I also noticed that my old Adobe Reader has vanished somewhere. I could not open any pdf files I have received and opened before. I tried to re-install the Reader. No success because "the trial time is over" !!! What should I do? Maybe I can try to ask my friends to change the Word files into the pdf-versions but I need my Adobe Reader!
Hi, Ashish,
I do not understnd what means through CC package under exception folder. I
think I went to Google and found this page:
https://www.acrobat.com/en_us/free-trial-download.html . After the
installing, which seemed to be successful, I brought in a Word file and made
the exchange into pdf. It seemed to be ok, but I could not save it anywhere
into my own libraries or maps. The system told me that the trial time is
over (!). Then I went into my Abobe Creative Cloud because I have already
Premier Pro and Premeir Pro CC. Through the list overt there I tried to do
the installation again. I do not remember anymore what I got in the first
place, maybe it was the same Your trial time has 00 days or something like
that. Then I was asked to get the serial number I clicked the button but
the reply was the same Your trial time has 00 days, or maybe there was
some other demands before that. Impossible to remember anymore.
Then I also noticed that I dont have Adobe Reader anymore; I could not read
any pdf files I had before. Everytime jumps up the message Your trial time
has 00 days.

How can converting a MS Word file to a pdf make the file 5x bigger? Can someone tell me how to update the "save as pdf..." feature when "printing" a file in MS Word (Word:mac 2008, ver. 12.2.5). The problem is that using this to create pdf files gives huge files when the Word file has graphics pasted as pictures from Powerpoint, even for simple graphics and when first exported at low resolution (180 dpi) as jpg files from Powerpoint and inserted into Word.
Here's a little more info on the save_as_pdf issue. It is Word files in 97–2004 format (doc) that get 5x bigger. The conversion works fine and file size is normal if the Word file is saved in most recent Word format (docx rather than doc). Somehow MS Word can't save its own files properly in pdf format. Thanks Bill for all the frustration.

Way to save MS Word file as a PDF with original MS Word file date?
For archiving purposes, I'm betting PDFs will be readable (backwards compatible) long after my current file saved in Microsoft Word becomes out of date. Anyone know of a way I can save my Word file as a PDF while retaining the original Word file last-modified date (for patent protection reasons to prove date of authorship)? (or Word to text file or ASCII file would also be equivalent as long as original date is kept)
I doubt that a computer date would suffice for legal proof of date. It is easily changed for those that know their way around the computer. I would have to play a bit, but could probably do it without too much trouble. About the only way to satisfy the need for a patent is to properly insert the pages in a patent notebook and get the information notorized. From what I have seen, the legal profession generally requires hard copy, not a computer file. A loose-leaf form is also typically not acceptable, but a bound notebook properly annotated. The notorized aspect is a way around some of this I think. In any case, it sounds like you need to consult a patent attorney.

I sent a PDF file to someone via email, they were able to fill out the form but they cannot save the file to send back, I have checked the security properties and there were no restrictions. Do I need to save the PDF a specific way? I have sent it to others that have Acrobat Pro and are able to save but those without Acrobat are unable to save. Please advise!
Thank you!Hi MSMistry1,
Users with Adobe Reader 8 and later will be able to save form data if you save the form as a Reader Extended PDF with Enable Additional Features selected. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7e0d.w .html

I get this message when I am trying to save a file that was done in CS4, now using CS6 "Cannot save the file as the font "ArmenianLSU-italic" could not be embedded because of licensing restrictions. Turn off the pdf compatibility option and try again." Even if I start a new file I unable to save it with this font. I need to use this font.
Then you need to outline all text before savng the PDF.
Make sure you do this on a copy of the file. -
I have created a form with editable fields, but the client has requested that I link 2 Word files to the document. I have done that and they open properly for me, but when the client tries to open the file on their computers the links cannot be found. They are obviously not embedded. Do I need to provide the Word files that then need to be sent with the PDF? That defeats the purpose.
Any help would be appreciated.Right now they are just on my computer, but this form will be sent out
to a wide range of people who will not have access to a central
location. I suppose we could make the link go to a website, but we
were trying to avoid that.

I keep getting error message (cannot save as "file name" because of a program error)
I opened a pdf in photoshop and when I need to save it back as a pdf i get this error (cannot save as "file name" because of a program error). I need to save it specifically as PDF/X-1a:2001 but the only pdf options that will work are "highest quality print" and "smallest file size". None of the others work. I'm running Photoshop CS5 on a PC laptop and I tried it on my desktop and also a mac running CS 5.5 and always get the same error. I think the problem might be with the custom color settings I have but it works fine on my work computer with the same color settings. What could be going on?
Yes, it's probably related to your color settings in some way. Why you are doing it in the first place...? Since they are ISO standards there is simply no liberty in choosing arbitrary settings for PDF/X, especially the archicval flavors... So in conclusion you will have to make your color settings compliant. The crash itself is probably a bug in the PDF libraries and it may work at your office because there you may use a different version of Acrobat/ Adobe Reader and the associated PDF libraries which do not have this bug. Still, the initial issue remains: You need to work within the spec, not against it.

Acrobat XI cannot save the file, cannot read document
Recently acquired Acrobat XI with a new scanner. with several specific files that were sent to me, I get an error message that it cannot save the file because it cannot read it error (135). 3 out of 4 documents are originals. The 4th was apparently printed out and scanned. No problem with it. Any suggestions? I've pretty much tried everything and only solution seems to be creating jpgs files and then turning them back into a PDF file. Another party who received the files reports she has no problem with it. My guess is that she has an older version of Acrobat. I'm having the same problem with the Reader version.
Thanks for the response. I sent a response to the email notification but since I don't know if that puts my response on the forum, I'm putting it here as well. Yes, Under "help" I've run the updates multiple times and none are available. I did see a fix that sounded like it was for this type of situation but I could not find the switches in the program to carry out the recommendation. It sounded like the problem was that XI has trouble "reading" some documents and gets "hung" as a result. The solution was to turn off this feature. But I don't see how I can do that. I downloaded Soda PDF (alternative program) and it did not have any problem with it. Also, someone else opened it with no problem.

Whenever I try to save a file as a PDF, it tells me that it can't save, because the file is open somewhere else. I don't have anything else open. I have also tried different files and they all say the same thing. Help.
Given there are so many problems and removed features in Pages 5, why not just continue using Pages '09?

How to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
how to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
Need to setup a set of word documents, converted to PDF that has links from one file to a second file at a given page.
I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
Is there a way to setup a link in word and the conversion to pdf that will result in a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type you get when you add a link of the type Go to a page in another document?
Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
Open second document and go to page
Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\My Documents\second file.pdf
Page: 43
Zoom level: Custom
I got close but did not solve the problem:
I have a version that uses links to a website, using #page=43 at the end of the hyperlink.
That works but will only open to the page if is through the web browser, opening the acrobat reader plugin.
I need to open from a folder on the local harddisk (with relative links), in acrobat pro to the given page of the pdf, on a PC or a Mac.
I could bookmark each page “pagenumberxxx” and jump to the bookmark/page if that would get around some problem
Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
Windows XP SP3
Word 2003 SP3
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
Or just to view them:
Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
(note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)
JohnNo. There seems to be no automated way to do it. You can of course go into the PDF and manually add links after you have converted to PDF, but that is what we want to avoid having to do. We want it to be automatic from the Word doc.

How to maintain original lines when converting a word file in a PDF
Unfortunately the table lines often change when converting a word file in a PDF, e.g. dotted/broken lines into straight lines or different kinds of broken lines. How can I maintain the original lines when converting the documents?
Many thanks in advance for your advice.
Li LiHello,
Ok, this is the background.
I’m a publisher. Any document to end user will go as pdf. And off course it preserves the word appearance. We ship our manuals only in pdf. At this point my end users have to copy the “CODES” into his editor to run the product. So when doing it, the “Codes” copied from pdf to his editor loses its format. Editor need not be the actual one; you can also test in a notepad.
P.S: You can find the difference by copying the code from word to notepad and pdf to notepad
Hope you now understood the purpose what I’m looking at for. -
Keep getting Cannot save library file error -50 message on my PC
I keep getting "cannot save library file error -50 when I open up iTunes on my PC
Won't download music purchased on iPhone4 to iTunes in my PCSame issue here. Running Windows Vista Home Premium Edition and newest version of iTunes. Normally happens when I am ripping a CD into iTunes and by chance multi task or the screen saver kicks in.
What ***** is if you walk away while ripping a CD(because it takes 3 times as long in iTunes vs any other ripper), and it will halt your ripping until you click "ok". I have not tried the "dont tell me again" check box just in case it is a problem I need to know about. This happened about 2 or 3 days after upgrading to Vista and I got an empty library the next time I opened the library. Somehow it got corrupted. Luckily I back up the xml file and just restored that one file from last back up.
(off subject but also getting the maxed our processor still in the newest version for Windows Vista. Wish they would fix that!) -

Vba convert multiple MS Word files to signle PDF
I am creating an automation script that I will integrate into an application. I am trying to convert multiple MS Word files that are listed in a database (with their names and file locations) into a single PDF. I have Adobe X Pro version. I tried using distiller directly (acrodist.exe) but it seems to require the use of PostScript files. What would be the best way to achieve my goal to automate the fille conversion/combination of the MS Word files.
Thanks in advance,
BenAcrobat will have to be installed on the user's computer and it will open (though you can hide the windows).
The best way to do this is to write a custom plugin for Acrobat (in C/C++) that manages the conversions for you (using the AVConversion APIs) and have that communicate (via the IPC mechanism of your choice) to your custom application.
