Conversion to Word failure in first document attempted?

I have only just contributed, in order to convert a particular document to Word. I tried twice, with each finally getting the message it failed. What now?

Hi SindiSu,
There are numerous reasons that you may get this error.
Please open the PDF document in Adobe Reader. Click on File --> Properties.
Under Description Tab. look for Advanced Section check the PDF producer. If it non Adobe producer there might be issue. There are lots of third party application which creates
PDF document but they don't follow all the PDF standards.
Also click on Security Tab under Properties window. Check under Document Restrictions Summary:
Check if Document Assembly is Allow or not?

  • Modifying a filename using the first word contained in the document.

    Hi,
    I recovered around 2500 .doc files, lost in a drive fail (I know) and I've been trying to find a way to speed up the renaming process : I'm trying to create a macro that could grab the first characters, or first word of each file and replace Its filename with those characters. In a 2500-docs batch. I tried a lost of things, but am not sure if it's doable with Applescript.
    Help ?
    Thanks.

    There are no bells and whistles here - e.g. minimal error checking - but this should give the basic pattern for applescript. Copy it into the applescript editor, save it as an application, then drag&drop files onto the application.

  • How to open and read pdf and micrsoft word (.doc) files or documents

    My problem is how to use my BB 9800 software version 6.0.0.546 to read/view pdf files and microsoft office documents. I have also bought documents to go from online and have installed it on my phone, but whenever i try to open it I receive a message that it is incompactible. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, Sammy.
    Why not install a 3rd party PDF reader and Word Doc reader to help open and read pdf and micrsoft word (.doc) files or documents? You can google it and select one whose way of processing is simple and fast to help you with the related converting work.  It will be better if it is totally manual and can be customized by users according to our own favors. Remember to check its free trial package first if possible. I hope you success. Good luck.

  • When trying to load multiple language versions of an ibook onto my iPad only the first document loads

    We have a sales tool that we have created for one of our clients in iBooks Author. They need the iBook creating in various languages.
    We need to be able to supply the multiple versions of the same document (in the different languages) to our client and they need to be able to install the different versions onto their iPads. And they want the options of having multiple language versions on the same iPads.
    We have already created two language versions of the document (a US English and an International English version).
    The two documents have different file names, (although they are based on the same document). We have just changed the spelling of some words accordingly. (And we will be producing other language variants based on the master file).
    We export the two documents via the File > Export > iBooks option. Then we are using Dropbox to upload the two files. The files are then accessed via the Dropbox App on the iPad.
    We can download the first document (International English) onto the iPad and view it as normal, but when we try and then download the other document (US English) it downloads in the Dropbox App, but when you click on view in iBooks it opens the first (International English) document into iBooks.
    You can only appear to have one version of the document installed at any one time. If you delete the first one you can then load the second one fine, but not both at the same time. If the file names are different it must be getting the identity of the document from somewhere else.
    This has only started happening since using iBooks Author 2.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions please. I've tried changing the version number in the option on export, but this doesn't seem to affect the result.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions
    John

    Further to my earlier post we have now completed a test by saving our original document as a template, then creating a new document from the template, making necessary changes and saving as a new file. We can now upload the two separate versions to our iPad.
    You cannot "duplicate" the file in any way, either by the File > Duplicate method from within iBooks Author or by simply Duplicating the original .iba file in the Finder, as this will cause the problem outlined above. By Duplicating you are obviously also duplicating this "hidden metadata" which is stored somewhere within the file which iBooks on the iPad is using to identify the documents. So unless Apple update the software to allow us to change that metadata we are stuck to using the Templates route. (Didn't have this problem on the last version of iBooks Author).
    This works for what we are trying to do, which is create different language variants of the same book.
    Working from Templates is probably the correct way to do it anyway, but might not necessarily be right for everyone.
    Working in iBooks Author is proving to be a rather testing experience. You certainly need the patience of a Saint. Not sure it's of the standard we expect from Apple, but then I guess, as they are giving it away "free", they think they don't have to offer any support for it.
    I think I would prefer to pay a fee for it and have a support route from Apple, rather than rely on a community of equally frustrated users who are all playing guinea pig and simply sharing their workarounds for a half baked product.
    Good luck to everyone!!! 

  • Unable to search for words in a pdf document

    I am using Adobe Reader Ver 10.1.1 (All updates)
    I have a pdf document in which I am unable to search for words. No words in the document are found even though they do exist. If I copy a word from within the document and paste it into the search criteria then instead of getting the word that I copied, I get substitute characters and it can in fact find these characters as the word being searched.
    The document is a catalog and can be downloaded from the following URL.
    http://www.carbatec.com.au/getcatalogue?zenid=d1cuvbat0ois0g37r0r33vnah1
    I will appreciate any help as to why I cannot search for words in the document.

    Thank you Dave Merchant and try67 for your responses. As per my previous post, I contacted the company re the catalogue and they have responded favourably. I'll include their response because it gives the reason for the search failure as document compression which you might find interesting. I'll await their new catalogue and see if they have fixed the problem.
    Company response:
    Thank you very much for your input.  And yes, you are correct, the compression we used for the current catalogue's PDF format does strip out text included in the catalogue.  We used the compression settings we did with the intention of minimising download time, however I take your point about including text for search purposes (which I also utilise when I'm scanning through PDFs).
    We will actually be posting out our new catalogue next week and we'll release the new PDF version on the website at the same time.  I've asked our graphic designer to ensure that the PDF we use for the new catalogue includes searchable text.

  • Printer will only print the first document then will do nothing.

    I am running a dell system with windows 7 pro 64 bit.
    I just got an HP LaserJet Pro 400 m401n printer.
    I downloaded the most current drivers for windows and updated the printer from the HP website.
    The printer will let me print the first document after the computer is restarted. Sometimes I can print a second document if I print it back to back with little to no time between printing the first document. If more than a few minutes passes and I try to
    print again the program im using to print enters a "not responding" state and goes into recovery mode. This happens with notepad, excel, word, or even printing directly from the internet.
    I can open the printer properties and see the document just sitting with "spooling" out beside it. I assumed it was a printer spooling problem and tried going to the Services.msc and checking the printer spooler. Ive started it and stopped it several
    times. Ive also gone into %WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers and deleted all files in this folder. This does not help. It still gets hung at spooling.
    Next I just went to printer property and turned the spooling off completely, by having it send the document directly to the printer. Again the exact same problem but instead of getting hung in "spooling" it now just hangs "printing".
    I have also gone to the printer properties on the ports tab to see if disabling the bidirectional support was enabled as per a google search result showing a potential solution. But im connecting the printer directly to the computer via a usb port so that
    option is not even available.
    The only thing that allows me to print again is doing a restart on my computer, then again I can only print the first document sent. Restarting the printer itself does nothing.

    Hi James,
    Did this printer work correctly before ?
    To verify whether it is related to the printer ,please plug it in another machine to have a check if it is possible.
    Considering it is a USB device ,plug in  with another port to have a check or try to update the USB controller driver or reinstall the USB controller driver to have a check.
    Please check whether the Event Viewer contains  errors or warnings related to this issue .
    I found a similar symptom in the HP forum ,the solution in it may be helpful:

  • First call attempt fails with 12000; reason="Routes available for this request but no available gateway at this point"

    We've installed a new Audiocodes Mediant 1000B gateway for our customer.  They only have about 6 users enabled for Enterprise voice and using Lync for all calls.  They have an intermittent problem whereby the first call attempt to a number on the
    PSTN fails with 12000; reason="Routes available for this request but no available gateway at this point".  There is only one PSTN gateway installed.  All routes point to this gateway.  What I found initially is that the calls
    were failing after 10 seconds which is the default "failovertimeout" in the OutboundRouting.exe.config.  I found this post http://voipnorm.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/lync-2010-gateway-timeout-call-failures.html and
    changed the value to 20 seconds.  Subsequent failures failed after 20 seconds (the new value).  The interesting thing is that the second attempt even a couple of seconds later succeeds.  My Lync server event log has 46046 "A call to a PSTN
    number failed due to non availability of gateways." for the failed call and 46047 "A PBX gateway is now responding to requests after some failures." for the successful call moments later.
    My environment is Lync 2010.  A single enterprise edition Front End with collocated mediation.  The server is virtual and in a different physical location to the gateway.  The two sites are connected via a LES1000.  The RTT between the
    sites is very low so it isn't necessarily networking.
    In the Syslog output on the Audiocodes we don't see the call even reach the gateway.  It's likely that Lync has simply marked the gateway as down and doesn't route the first call.  Then it wakes up and marks it as up and routes the next call.
    Update wise I'm on 4.0.7577.183, 199 and 217 for those that are up to date and the only components that are behind say that 223 is available.  Those being Core Components, Lync Server, Conferencing Server and Web Components.
    As I said, this is intermittent, apparently doesn't happen for every user (which I don't buy), but is easily replicated on request.
    I definitely think changing the failovertimeout value has reduced the number of failures.  But realistically I don't want users sitting there for 20 seconds before their call fails.  Or 19 seconds for the call to route.
    I've found a few posts on this and similar issues.  I don't get the 25051 or 25052 errors.
    Any help gratefully appreciated.
    Regards

  • App for editing/reading/writing Excel, Word, Windows notepad text documents

    I was wondering if any of you's could recommend some apps (from experience) that would allow me to, edit/read/write Excel, Word, Windows notepad text documents.
    I could make do with an app that would do the above but without the ability to create, edit Windows notepad text documents. But been able to read, write, edit Word and Excel documents would have to be a must.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks everyone for the help it was much appreciated.
    After debating, I decided on Docs To Go at £9.99. For this amount its a universal app and as such I can have it installed on my iPhone as well as my iPad (which is what I have done), so £5 for to have it on each device is good value I feel. Quick Office on the other hand would have cost £8.99 for the iPad version and £5.99 for the iPhone version a total of almost £15, which is quite a bit more than I paid for Docs To Go.
    Upto now, I find Docs To Go does everything I want from it, with regards to editing, reading, writing my Excel files. I tried transferring a Microsoft Windows Notepad text document over to the iPad/iPhone, I was able to read this and also add additional text/words to it and save it too. I do use text documents sometimes because if I want to add them onto a friend's computer for example, I know that they will be able to read them because with them having a Windows PC and also my friend does not have the Microsoft Office program on their PC.
    The transferring of files from the computer to the iPhone/iPad is done via a free download of the Docs To Go desktop software program (which is both PC and Mac) compatible). You first need to go into the Docs To Go app and select 'ADD DESKTOP'. This then allows you to add a device to the Docs To Go desktop program thus enabling transfer. You are shown a pin number on the screen which you enter into the Docs To Go app, this procedure only needs to be done once.
    The Docs To Go desktop program creates a folder during installation, where all the files etc are stored that are transferred/going to be transferred over are kept.
    Some people might think needing to use a program to transfer files over is a bit of a nuisance, when other similar programs allow transfer via a web browser. Personally I find that those programs, the transfer is a bit cumbersome and can be a bit slow. I find the transfer via the Docs To Go desktop program is a lot easier and faster than using the web browser. The only downside I can see with needing to use the Docs To Go desktop program is that.. If I am at a friend's house and want to transfer something on to my iPhone/iPad. My friend would need to install the program, but saying that, its a very small program and its not a big deal having to install it. If they didn't want to install it, then there is either emailing the file or transferring the file to my Dropbox account. I forgot to mention that Docs To Go supports cloud/online storage such as Dropbox, GoogleDocs as well as others.
    Once the above is done, you switch the wifi on, load the Docs To Go app, load the Docs To Go desktop program. You then just drag and drop the folders etc that you are wanting transferred over into the The Docs To Go desktop program, then you click on the circular arrow button and they are then transferred over onto the iPhone/iPad.
    Once on the iPhone/iPad, you can view them, add additional information, when you make any changes you can press the circular arrow symbol (bottom left of the Docs To Go app) on the Docs To Go app and the changes are then synced back to the same file that is stored on the computer, so its very easy to keep everything in sync and up to date.
    It is possible whilst using a Microsoft Word document to have a word count, you just touch the symbol at the bottom right of the Docs To Go app and choose Word Count from the drop down menu. I have heard a few people in some reviews saying that 'Docs To Go doesn't have a word count', when indeed it does.
    One surprise is that Docs To Go, does not have a spell checker, but hopefully during later updates, the feature might be added. I sent my feedback to Docs To Go requesting this feature on future releases. I expect that there will be many other people who have requested this feature too.
    I just thought I would share my experience with using Docs To Go.
    Thanks again everyone for the help, it was much appreciated

  • 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.

  • So, I have just about had it. For nine days now,  I have valiantly tried to move my library to an external drive. At first, I attempted to move it to my 2TB Time capsule, iTunes didn't like its new home though and moved home without telling me.

    So, I have just about had it. For nine days now,  I have valiantly tried to move my library to an external drive. At first, I attempted to move it to my 2TB Time capsule. iTunes didn't like its new home though and moved home without telling me. So then there were two libraries. I meshed them back together reluctantly and iTunes in a silent revolt, absolutely refused to use its own 'Keep Library Organized' criteria and may as well have thrown my music against the wall. Seriously, my 5 year old nephew has his computer files better managed. Then I bought a 3TB Time Capsule and you may ask yourself why??? Well, iTunes doubled in size- although when I ran apps that are designed to find duplicate iTunes files, it deleted the music I actually bought from iTunes. So then I watched as iTunes got it back. How you ask; I run a MacBook Air, iMac and Mac mini in my house - as soon as one powered up it hit the net like a sailor on leave and re-downloaded it all without abandon. I tried to keep the libraries separate, no success there. I tried to keep them unified; iTunes response was to ask me if I wanted to join iTunes Match every time I logged on to my computer and on any computer - my iTunes match song number has been as high as 24,367 and as low as 11,112. And I can't simply refuse iTunes. No one refuses iTunes. Refusal to allow iTunes Match to run through all 24000 songs again was to revoke my rights to the songs that were once part of my library. If I took a long time to decide or was visibly impatient while iTunes did its little 3 hour scan it would arbitrarily decide that music I bought from iTunes was ineligible for iTunes Match. How could that possibly be??? I am missing music, or at least iTunes tells me so by showing me that lovely exclamation point. I have tried backing up my computer to do a full system restore and start all over. Time Capsule claims I have 979 GB of data and takes its sweet time to even back up one gig (about 18 minutes) even though I can transfer files to my Time Capsule at about 1 GB every 40 seconds. I guess though performing back-ups are somewhat like government jobs; it will get done, when it gets done. The back up requirement of 979 GB is surprising though, my Mac claims that I currently occupy just about 25% of my 2TB drive. The discrepancy, who knows, but I think the solution lies somewhere in iTunes. But maybe iPhoto. But that is for another time.

    After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move.  Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way.  Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
    If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

  • Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts

    Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts, I have tried downloading my contacts to my PC's outlook but only 1 contact comes across at a time despite the fact that Icloud says downloading namedperson + 249 other contacts to a CSV file

    Hi everyone!
    Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities: 
    "The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
    Let's keep looking guys... 

  • LaserJet 1020 won't print first document after powering up

    My LaserJet 1020 won't print the first document it receives after powering-up. Print manager shows that the document is being sent, the printer makes noise like it's getting ready to print, but the document is never printed and I don't receive an error messages. If I send the document again the document prints as does every document there after.
    I'm using Windows Vista Professional and the printer is connected via USB 2.0.

    Hi jnickelsen,
    I understand the printer won't print multiple copies.
    Thank you for your reply.
    I will be happy to help you with this.
    This printer doesn't have the Mopier settings.
    What drivers are you using?
    Did you download the drivers or are you using the Windows preinstalled drivers?
    If you are using the Windows preinstalled drivers then I would download the latest drivers. Here is the URL for the HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor since it might resolve the issue automatically.

  • Putting Word Count in Pages Document

    Is there a way to insert a document's current word count directly into the body of the document? In other words, is there a way to do the equivalent of "Insert Page Number" or "Insert Page Count" for word count?

    It's dificult to read page 307 in a guide containing 266 pages.
    On page 37 I may read how to view word count and other document statistics but,
    - I saw nothing about current weather
    - I saw nothing about a way to insert the word count in the document as it was asked by the OP
    As far as I know,
    we may insert page num, page count, date time, file name
    but we only
    may display word count.
