CONVERSION MS WORD TO ACROBAT 8 ?

This question is about my running Acrobat 8.1.4 under Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bit. Under Win XP Pro, I have no trouble converting a .doc file to .pdf by using the Create PDF feature. In Win 7, however, I get a message "Missing PDFMaker Files" and "Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?" When I click "Yes," the computer runs through a several-minute install and a restart, but when I now attempt the .doc > .pdf conversion again from "Create PDF" I get the same missing message. Repeat: same result. Although this is not relevant, there is no trouble converting .wpd to .pdf in WordPerfect X4 in either XP or 7/64.

Have you checked the Adobe Knowledge Base to see is Acrobat 8 is compatible with Windows 7 and support use in Windows 7?
What version of MS Office are you using?
You should also check to see if Acrobat 8 supports that version of MS Office.
Windows 7 was released after both Acrobat 7,8, and 9 were introduced. That means that Adobe would most likely need to update those versions to support Windows 7.
WordPerfect includes the conversion to PDF as part of their product. MicroSoft does not. But MicroSoft has a "Save as PDF" option for MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. You could also use OpenOffice.org's office suite.

(PLEASE HELP)Can Acrobat X pro do a Batch Conversion to Word? (multiple file conversion)

I am trying to convert multiple PDF files to word using Acrobat X Pro and I am not sure if it is capable of doing this process. I have tried doing one file and it works great even on files that have colums and tables but I cant figure out how to convert alot of them at once. Do I need to buy a thrid party software to achieve this task? PLEASE HELP ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY

Use the Action Wizard (in the Tools pane) to create a new Action.
In the Edit Action dialog, on the right side, there are three panes.
Look to the third (bottom) pane (for "Save To").
At the far right of the "Save to:" line is an icon - click it to open a configuration dialog.
The configuration dialog (Output Options) has a selection at the botto - "Export File(s) to Alternate Format".
Tick this selection and use the drop-down menu for "Export to:" to select the format.
Amoung others you have RTF, Text, Word 97-2003, and Word Document (i.e., *.docx).
Similarly, use the "Start with" configuration tool to select supported file formats for batch processing to PDF via an Action.
Tutorials and additional Acrobat X Actions are available at the Acrobat User Community.

Problems converting pdf to Word in Acrobat X Standard

I am not able to convert pdf docs into Word using acrobat x. I have tried running OCR before attempting the converstion but that does not help. It goes all the way through allowing me to save the document as a docx but then I get the message "Save As failed to process the document. No file was created". Any ideas?

You have both Adobe Reader (which offers one kind of conversion, paid for one way), and Adobe Acrobat Pro (which offers another kind of conversion, paid another way). Be sure you understand that these are two different bits of software, and that you can and must choose which one to use.

Improved "save as" Microsoft Word in Acrobat 8 or 9 versus 7

Anyone out there know if either Acrobat 8 or 9 has improved "save as" Microsoft Word performance versus that performance for Acrobat 7? What I seek improvement in is the fidelity of format conversion. Saving a PDF document as Word in Acrobat 7 loses much of the formatting.
Thanks.
Richard

>Saving a PDF document as Word in Acrobat 7 loses much of the formatting.
I don't have 9 yet but I can't imagine it would be a whole heckuva lot better.
It all really depends on the PDF and how it was created to begin with.
For instance, if it was previously an InDesign document, it will never translate in to a Word document. There are too many things you can do in ID that Word wouldn't recognize.
If it was already a Word document and was tagged properly, it would probably convert just fine (or pretty close.)

Conversion of Word 2007 Docs to PDF

I am using Word 2007 & Acrobat 9 Pro. I am attempting to convert a chinese document into a PDF file within Word 2007. After conversion, many of the chinese characters are missing and replaced with an empty box. Why? What can I do to correct this. Printing to Adobe captures all of the chinese characters but does not capture the bottom border. HELP!!!!

Bill Thanks...
The issued turned out that doing formatting and inserting pictures in the Word 2007 document, that the font changed from Sim Sun (Asian) to Times New Roman. However, the screen did not look any different and I did not notice the change. (Microsoft, please explain this phenomonem!!)Changing the font back to the Sim Sun that was already installed in Word 2007 solved the problem.

PDF file graphics are poor - AI to Word to Acrobat

I've been learning to use AI to build the simple, mostly vector, grapics I want available to Word and other end points like web. Sizing and then exporting AI files to PNG and then using those directly in web apps works fine.
The story isn't so good for grapics put into Word.
After trying a number of options, taking the graphic to a TIFF worked best for viewing in Word. But when converted to a PDF the images (lines, text) errodes noticably. I'm assuming that's because I'm having Acrobat convert a raster image. I'm also assuming that manipulating the image (e.g. line width, font size, etc.) will not improve things although, if I'm wrong, I'd like to hear back.
I decided that getting the vector objects into EMF files would help but that actually produced poor results when viewed in Word.
It may be the method I'm using so if there's some wisdom about AI to Word to Acrobat I'd appreciate hearing it.
Thanks
Tom

I do not use WORD, but another word processor that allows me to see the format of the graphics as bitmaps or metafiles. The imported vector files are metafiles (this is a form of vector file used in Windows. Imported bitmap files are kept as bitmap files. There are some conversions that depend primarily on the compatibility of the graphic vector form and the windows metafile format. The results are generally excellent for me. What you could do is import in general formats like eps (include a bitmap if you want to see it in word and print to PDF to see the actual vector form), an emf file saved from AI (it should be retained as a vector form), and a bitmap, then also include clipboard versions of the same files from the original vector and bitmap files. You can judge for yourself. I am still interested in the comment from the other individual about not using the clipboard and why.
EPS is a vector graphic format developed by Adobe (as I recall, would have to look at my graphic book to be sure) along with PS files. It allows a bitmap preview file to be included -- what you see on screen in WORD. EMF files should be able to be loaded from the insert pictures menu in WORD (it is there in my WORD 2007 along with EPS and WMF files -- I do not there are any other formats that support vectors there). WMF is the old Windows MetaFile format and EMF is the Enhanced Windows MetaFile format. Actually, EMF and WMF files can include both vector and bitmap formats, similar in a sense to what Adobe can do I guess with PDF. The standard EMF is what is actually used in the clipboard. You can get more info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Metafile. A similar discussion of EPS file is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encapsulated_PostScript. The main difference between the EMF and clipboard in WORD is that they are scaled differently when inserted. One problem with vector graphics in WORD 2007 and 2010 is that fonts of the text are not embedded. So someone without the fonts and looking at the WORD file would not see the proper text -- this is a MS issue introduced with their XML form of a DOC file. It is even messed up in their DOC compatibility format.
The AI file format is supposed to actually be a variation on the EPS file format from what I have read -- Apparently EPS is an outgrowth of AI?
In any case, the WORD file may not show the EPS file correctly. It appears that WORD 2007 does an attempt at displaying the result, but with errors (I have been looking at some line drawings and the WORD display shows line breaks. I printed the various forms of graphics in WORD to a PDF and the results for the EPS was not good. I think this may be a MS issue, but am not sure. Actually, the WORD converter to PDF even messed it up. That would suggest that at this point, EPS is not a good choice because of the way WORD handles things.
Don't know that my long winded description helps or not.
The EMF file can be inserted with the Insert>Picture menu. If you use the special paste, you can insert either WMF or WMF versions from the clipboard. Generally the results are the same. From my short experiment with EPS and WORD 2007, it looks like the result is a problem. However, that could have been the EPS save of my application, don't know. The best way to see what works for you is to do what I just did and that is create a vector graphic and save it as EMF and EPS. Then clipboard it into work and insert both the EMF and EPS in the picture menu. See what the result looks like and then also print to PDF and see what you get. Then draw your own conclusions rather than depending on someone like me who is just indicating results I have gotten.
Good luck.

File conversion to word - uploading is showing but nothing is happening

Hi
Iv'e just purchased the online file conversion to word, i've just logged in and the adobe reader document shows it's updloading file to Adobe Export PDF online but it's taking ages and doesnt' seem to be working.
My boss needs this done super urgent - can you please???

I do not know what the problem is; it's possible that there is a problem with the ExportPDF server?
If it's super urgent, what I would do is download the free trial of Acrobat Pro, and run the conversion with Acrobat for now.

Combine supported files... problem (Word 2007, Acrobat 9, Windows 7)

Windows 7; Word 2007; Acrobat Pro 9
Print > Adobe PDF within Word produces pdf file that faithfully reproduces the Word file (that is, this process works as expected).
RClick context menu 'Combine supported files in Acrobat' produces output characterized by incorrect letter spacing and incorrect typeface (font) output among other issues.
Various possible resolutions have been tried with no success (PDFMaker option changes, output resolution (dpi) changes and so forth).
The same results are obtained when using the combine feature from within Acrobat Pro.
Thanks for any and all help.

Footnotes in tables were the problem with my doc as well. I tried the option of saving the doc as a Word 2003 file, but it didn't help. I chatted with Adobe Customer Service and was provided this fix:
In Word 2007, click on the Acrobat ribbon
In the "Create Adobe PDF" panel, click on "Preferences"
In the "Settings" tab, under "Application Settings," UNCHECK the box next to "Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF"
After that, I was able to create the PDF, and the table of contents and external hyperlinks all worked. The footnotes were no longer hyperlinked, but since they're on the same page as the items they're referencing, that's not really a problem. Cheers,
JG

How can I copy and paste text into Word in Acrobat 9 Pro

You might find it easier to export the file to Word under File > Export > Word in Acrobat 9.

Can't print from Word or Acrobat

OK, I had this problem maybe two years ago and I did fix it. The problem is back and I don't remember how I fixed it.
I have an HP printer (new printer since the last time I had this problem so its not necessarily the printer) - MS Word and Acrobat Adobe will not allow me to print.
I can print Appleworks and can convert Word to pdf and print it with Preview not Acrobat.
Did I reinstall the printer program? or Word or Acrobat?
Diane

There is absolutely no relationship between what InDesign installs (and uses) and the operation of Microsoft Word and Acrobat. InDesign does not install any system components or share any system components with Word and Acrobat.
Look elsewhere for causes and solutions. In the case of Acrobat, if you have specific issues with printing with specific types of PDF files and/or devices, post your questions on the appropriate Acrobat forum (“Printing and Prepress”).

Exporting PDF to Word with Acrobat 8 - Does this work?

Has anyone had any success with a decent export-to-Word using Acrobat 8 (from CS3)?
Acrobat 7 is worthless for this. I suspect the woeful results have much to do with how the PDF was made. If it came from InDesign or Illustrator, and has layers, that will no doubt flummox wonky old Word.
Or, is it the wonky "export to Word" function that's wonky? I see there is also "Export to RTF" which is much the same file format as .doc. You get exactly the same crazy results.
Here at my job, they have determined the best way to get a decent Word doc out of what we're publishing is to export each individual text box from InDesign as "RTF". Then open word and wrangle all the bits.
This is time consuming and senseless - certainly the technology exists to convert PDFs to Word cleanly and perfectly.
Or ... is Adobe just telling us, by quietly setting us up to fail, that we shouldn't be using Word at all? So they're not going to bother to make this work?
Sadly, at my gig, we need to do this. Our clients are dinosaurs, and the average T-Rex is deathly afraid of Acrobat Reader and PDFs.

< Frankly, I don't really give a lot of thought to employers who refuse PDFs for graphic design positions. It's like asking me to retouch a photo using MacPaint.>
A resume is a document, not a design sample. A lot of employers do not want "designed" resumes at all. They want simple searchable text resumes. Even using special formatting features in Word can mess up their processes. HR departments could care less how pretty it is, all they want is data. You'll need to impress the design manager at the interview, after HR has passed it on. Even the hiring manager may find a highly designed resume to be annoying and difficult to read.
Of course if that's not where you want to work, that's up to you, but you might be turning down excellent design positions by insisting they accept things your way instead of doing things their way! ;-)

Conversion to Word Doc

Can Adobe Acrobat Pro v 9 be used to convert a pdf to a word doc?

Generally that is a function of WORD, not Acrobat. Acrobat just represents what has been sent to it. It may be that you are using some font that is not being embedded and the substituted font is upper case. Look at the font table in the PDF (ctrl-D) to check the embedding and substitutions.
