Conversion to Word Documents

The material that I am exporting are PDF documents that have a large file size 100MB or bigger. Is there any way to covert without getting a "failure?"

Hi,
One way is to split your PDF file to smaller PDF files then convert those PDF files.
Other way is to use Adobe Acrobat then save as doc/docx/xlsx/pptx files. You can download Acrobat XI Pro trial version from www.adobe.com.

PDF Conversion of Word document file too large

I am going crazy trying to figure out why PDF document files I make on my Mac are so much larger (file size) than the same document converted on my Windows machine using Adobe Acrobat. I also tested the file size by having a friend use her CutePDF document converter to convert it for me and my PDF document with a file size of 2.18 Mb came back from her at 78.5 Kb. However, when I try to view the document it has a message where the images are that "QuickTime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture". But she could see everything fine.
I always loved my Adobe Acrobat software when I was a Windows user. With the exception of using Quicken on my MacBook using VMWare Fusion for running Windows, I don't want to use Windows anymore so I don't want to have Acrobat sitting on that partition. I know my Mac can convert to PDF but is there a way I can get the file sizes smaller? Or am I going to have to get a PDF writer program specifically for converting and compressing file sizes where other users, whether be Mac or Windows can see them.
HELP please. I'm about ready to purchase the Adobe Acrobat X Professional for Mac OS X. I only need the Standard package but it appears they don't have a Mac version for anything less than the Professional package. I'm also wondering if CutePDF would work for me. Hmmm. I truly need the knowledge of you seasoned users.
Thanks a bunch!!!

I suspect you're right. Good luck.

How to automate the generation of several Word documents into PDF?

I want to generate in batch processes the conversion from Word documents into PDF. Could you tell me how?
Thank yoou.

Thank you for your answers.
But I would like to launch a batch to generate PDFs and I don't find any explanation in the Adobe documentation telling how to do.
Do you have any idea?

Turn Word documents into PDfs

Is there any way to use Automator to create a command so that I can turn Word documents into PDFs in one easy step?
Thanks, Ken

Hi "jhaystead",
Apologies for making an incorrect suggestion. "Batch Conversion" is a feature in Acrobat 9 and above.
I'd suggest you use the "Open All" sequence > Double-click it to EDIT > For "2. Run Command On:" choose "Selected Folder" and BROWSE to the input folder. Similarly for "3. Select Output Location", you can choose "Same Folder as Original(s)", click OK and then "Run Sequence".
This would invoke the PDFMaker for conversion of Word documents to PDF and save the output PDF(s) at the folder mentioned, instead of printing and prompting to save the output each time Adobe PDF Printer is called.
Plus, could you please check if the Adobe PDF toolbar/menu options are there in Word and working fine?
When you said,
"The only way I can get PDFs produced is to manually open each word document, then save it as a PDF. I haven't had any luck with multiple PDF creation." Were you printing the Word documents to Adobe PDF Printer or using the PDFMaker options?
Thanks!

Convert Multiple Word Documents to Multiple PDFs

Hi, I'm looking for a way to convert multiple word documents into PDF files. I'm running Adobe Acrobat 3D Version 8.1.2. It seems as if going to Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing and then using the Print All sequence will allow this to happen, but when I have selected the word documents I want to turn into PDFs, after I click "Run Sequence" I get a message in the progress window saying "Starting the application in which the file was created..." then Acrobat shuts down and nothing happens. Does anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening?
Thanks!

PDF to Word Document Conversion Problem

I am trying to convert a 37-page PDF document (less than 100 MB) into a .docx Word document using my paid subscription to Adobe ExportPDF. The program makes the conversion, only into a 1-page document with the following message:
"To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html"
Can you help me figure out why this is happening? There is no password on the PDF document. In security settings I see that content copying is "allowed" and page extraction is set to "not allowed". Could that be contributing to the problem? Is there a way around this to be able to convert this document?

Hi Maggie,
The error message you were receiving occurs when you try to convert a dynamic PDF file created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer. This file is usually already a fillable form. Unfortunately there is no workaround available for converting documents like this within the ExportPDF service.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance.

I just renewed my subscription to convert a Word document to a pdf. Your sales department told me there was a hold up in confirming the purchase. I need to do the conversion now. In fact, if it had worked, I would be done now.

Hi bobbij,
I'm sorry to hear there was a holdup with your order. Have you been able to access your subscription yet? If not, and you're on a time crunch, you could get the job down with Acrobat. You can download a free 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Best,

How do you keep embedded documents during conversion from Word 2007 to PDF?

Windows 7, with all available patches.
Word 2007, with all available patches.
Acrobat reader 9.3.2
I have additional documents, spreadsheets etc embedded into a Microsoft Office Word document. When this document is converted to the PDF (using the Word PDF add-in interface) the embedded objects can no longer be opened and only appear as images.
Is there a way to retain the embedded document during the conversion so that they can be opened from within the resulting PDF?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks very much for your repsonse, it's much appreciated
I don't have Acrobat X installed at this time so am not able to create or edit PDFs (other than from Word). I understand that creating a PDF from Word may not be an Acobat issue per se, but thought that someone on this forum may have experienced a similar problem, hence thought I'd try my luck here
I will do as you suggest and try an MS forum
Thanks again

Problems converting PDF to MS Word document. I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file. I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure. I attempted to convert the entire document and same result. I specifically purchased the export to Word feature. Please assist. I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

Hi sdr2014,
I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
So, let's try this:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Word document to pdf conversions

We have an application written in delphi. We need to develop an automated process to convert word documents to pdf format. I was wondering what was the best way to do this. Thanks.

The Acrobat SDK only offers that type of conversion API to plugins (written in C/C++).

When i try to convert a pdf to a word document it says conversion failure. What should i do?

Hi David,
I see you are using the ExportPDF subscription. How large is your file?
Try these two items:
'Getting started guide'
OCR
Let me know if those help!

I have a number of old 3.5 floppy that i'd like to convert to a format that can be read by my iMAC. These are all Word documents for MAC that are as old as 20 years. Do you have suggestions other than the conversion services that are rather costly?

I don't think any conversions are needed, just get yourself an external USB 3.5" floppy drive and drag the documents onto your iMac's HD. You should be able to locate one on Ebay or maybe even Amazon. To open them you will need something that reads .doc files like Pages, MS Word for Mac etc..

How Can I Keep Embedded Documents in a PDF Conversion of a Word Document?

I am running XP and using Word 2010. I have a document that contains embedded Word documents. I can convert the document to PDF but I loose the embedded documents when I do. Is there a way to keep them available in the PDF version? I can "attach" them, but don't know how to make those attachments obvious to a reader.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Something embedded in a Word file isn't going to migrate to PDF with the Word file's "page content".
If the embedded files are support use Acrobat to convert them to PDF.
Combine the PDFs.
Configure this PDF to open with the Bookmarks showing.
(Document Properties > Initial View)
Edit / add Bookmarks as desired.
Be well...
