Convert 1000 .doc files to ipages

convert 1000 individual .doc files to ipages

What is the issue? Simply open the docs in Pages and save them. If you want to automate the process considering you have a large number of files learn to use Automator (Applicaitons - Utilities - Automator) and you are set.
I did a Google search on this an found many helpful hints.

    if you create your doc files by the help of WORD, you could use a Microsoft add on (it depends of your WORD Version).

  • Converting Word .doc File with Hyperlinks to PDF

    There appear to be a rather large number of posts in this forum describing problems similar to mine. I've tried most of the work-arounds suggested with no good results.
    First the basics. I'm running Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (8.1.3) and Microsoft Office (Word) 2003. My situation is that I've got hundreds of 1 page Word documents that contain a single jpeg with a relative link at the bottom which is suppose to reload an index pdf file that resides one folder above; ie. ..\index.pdf.
    The entire reason I went to Acrobat Pro from Standard was to get the Batch Processing capability so I just point to the 100's of Word doc's and have them converted to pdf's in the same directory. Doesn't happen correctly. The link is corrupted during the conversion. I've tried all the setting in both Word and Acrobat that have been suggested... nothing works. Of course the links work fine in Word.
    The strange part is that if I use the "Convert to Adobe PDS" menu option in Word (which just calls Adobe Acrobat under the covers) it works fine. Unfortunately, individually converting 100's of one page doc files is time consuming.
    So, my questions are:
    Has anyone gotten to the bottom of converting Hyperlinks from Word to Acrobat successfully? (I tried using Word 2007 with similar bad results)
    Does anyone know if Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro has solved the Word Hyperlink conversion problem? Is it worth upgrading?
    Adobe tells me that I have to pay $39 per incident to get support since I'm one release back. Does anyone have an opinion on how likely it is that Adobe Support will resolve my problem in a timely fashion?
    Thanks for any suggestions you may provide. I will continue to look for novel ways of resolving this and will post if I'm successful.

    I don't see my reply to the first message; so it may have gotten lost. So, here goes again.
    I have tried opening the Word doc in Adobe and get interesting but not usable results. Acorbat converts it to a pdf document. I then look at the link and it's correct. I then click on the link and Acrobat asks me if I want to save the file before loading the index page that is referenced... of course I do... the link works... However, when I then click on the link in the index page to return the newly converted and saved page it is loaded but the link is corrupted.... and no longer works.
    This seems to indicate that somewhere in the Acrobat Save routine the module that is doing the save is corrupting the link.
    I have tried many combinations with similar results. I am currently looking at writing a VB.NET routine that will restore the link after the save is done... perhaps that will work.
    Thanks for your response.

  • How to download and convert RTF/DOC file in DMS into PDF file

    Hello.
    We're on ECC6.0. We have a requirement to get the *.doc or *.rtf file checked in DMS, convert it to pdf format and download it as *.pdf file. The document data is stored in DRAO-ORBLK (LRAW data type). Has anyone programmatically done this? What is the process to achieve this? I've read in the forum that you should first convert RTF(.doc) data to OTF format using CONVERT_RTF_TO_ITF and then you will get the script format from rtf data. Generate the spool using the script data. Convert the spool to PDF using CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF. However, the fm CONVERT_RTF_TO_ITF uses RAW data type. There's also fm CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF but I don't know how to implement this for my purpose.
    Also, if Adobe Distiller is installed on the SAP application server, can it be used from an ABAP pgm?
    Thanks in advance for your inputs.

    Hi Maria,
    I realize this a rather old post, but was wondering if you managed to do this as I am having a similar requirement. Appreciate if you could share any solution or findings.

  • Automator: Cannot convert multiple .doc files to PDF

    Hi everyone!
    I can't get my automator to print PDF files correctly. Once I have run the workflow I try to open the files and they are "messed up" preview and adobe both tell me that the "File cannot be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."
    When I go to Automator I see an error message - (1728) The object you are trying to access does not exist. However, if I manually create the PDF from Word or Pages, I have no problem.
    I really appreciate the help, I need this to grade student papers and I have 200 students. Figuring this out would really make my life better.
    Thank you for your time!

  • Convert doc file generated by OpenOffice to PDF X1a

    Hi, I have a .doc file originally produced by Open Office Writer and then converted to a Word format. I would now like to use Acrobat 10 to convert this .doc file to a PDF X format, but I'm not having any luck. I've tried the following two approaches:
    1. I'm able to use Open Office Writer to convert it to a normal PDF format. I then tried to take that PDF file and convert it to a PDF X file using Acrobat Pro with Preflight, but a bunch of errors appeared.
    2. If I start in Acrobat Pro, select Create PDF from file, select my documents, none of the .doc files produced in Open Office show up on the list--as if Acrobat Pro won't read any .doc files produced by Open Office.
    Hope someone can help. I'm new to Acrobat Pro.
    Thanks in advance.

    Use Ctrl-P or Use FILE>Print when you have OO Writer open with your document. You should get something like below.
    Just select the Adobe PDF printer, check properties if you like, then print. In this case, OO shows a preview of the pages in the document as they should look. I created a simple one as an example. I did a preflight after using the PDF-X1A settings and did get errors noted. One of them had to do with tagging that does not happen when you use the print. You might try to print normally and then use preflight to convert. I tried also and still got errors. At least I may have given you some things to try.

    Hello Gayatri,
    You can convert files from doc to docx using following options
    Option 1 
    in bulk using  Office File Converter (OFC) and Version Extraction Tool. Please refer below url for reference - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179019.aspx
    Option 2 - PowerShell

    Convert DOC to DOCX using PowerShell
    I was tasked with taking a large number of .DOC and .RTF files and converting them to .DOCX. The files were then going to be imported into a SharePoint site. So I went out on the web looking for PowerShell scripts to accomplish this. There are plenty to
    choose from.
    All the examples on the web were the same with some minor modifications. Most of them followed this pattern:
    $word = new-object -comobject word.application
    $word.Visible = $False
    $saveFormat = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat],”wdFormatDocumentDefault”);
    #Get the files
    $folderpath = “c:\doclocation\*”
    $fileType = “*doc”
    Get-ChildItem -path $folderpath -include $fileType | foreach-object
    $opendoc = $word.documents.open($_.FullName)
    $savename = ($_.fullname).substring(0,($_.FullName).lastindexOf(“.”))
    $opendoc.saveas([ref]“$savename”, [ref]$saveFormat);
    $opendoc.close();
    #Clean up
    $word.quit()
    After trying out several I started to convert some test documents. All went well until the files were uploaded to SharePoint. The .RTF files were fine but even though the .DOC fiels were now .DOCX files they did not allow for all the functionality of .DOCX
    to be used.
    After investigating a little further it turns out that when doing a conversion from .DOC to .DOCX the files are left in compatibility mode. The files are smaller, but they don’t allow for things like coauthors.
    So back to the drawing board and the web and I found a way to set compatibility mode off. The problem was that it required more steps including saving and reopening the files. In order to use this method I had to add a compatibility mode object:
    $CompatMode = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdCompatibilityMode], “wdWord2010″)
    And then change the code inside the {} from above to:
    $opendoc = $word.documents.open($_.FullName)
    $savename = ($_.fullname).substring(0,($_.FullName).lastindexOf(“.”))
    $opendoc.saveas([ref]“$savename”, [ref]$saveFormat);
    $opendoc.close();
    $converteddoc = get-childitem $savename
    $opendoc = $word.documents.open($converteddoc.FullName)$opendoc.SetCompatibilityMode($compatMode);
    $opendoc.save()
    $opendoc.close()
    It worked, but I didn’t like it. So back to the web again and this time I stumbled across the real way to do it. Use the Convert method. No one else seems to have used this in any of the examples but it is a much cleaner way to do it then the compatibility
    mode setting. So this is how I changed my code and now all the files come in to SharePoint as true .DOCX files.
    $word = new-object -comobject word.application
    $word.Visible = $False
    $saveFormat = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat],”wdFormatDocumentDefault”);
    #Get the files
    $folderpath = “c:\doclocation\*”
    $fileType = “*doc”
    Get-ChildItem -path $folderpath -include $fileType | foreach-object
    $opendoc = $word.documents.open($_.FullName)
    $savename = ($_.fullname).substring(0,($_.FullName).lastindexOf(“.”))
    $word.Convert()
    $opendoc.saveas([ref]“$savename”, [ref]$saveFormat);
    $opendoc.close();
    #Clean up
    $word.quit()

  • It still won't convert a simple .doc file

    Hello,
    I've been desperately trying to convert a 94 page .doc file into .pdf by uploading it using my monthly subscription "Create Adobe PDF Online". However, I've tried numerous times and I always get an email that states: "Conversion for this document failed"
    I've emailed tech support previously and, instead of trying to solve the problem, I was given instructions to download something to my printer so I can print it out.
    I don't want to download anything; I just want to convert a .doc file into a .pdf by uploading to Adobe's system and then having them email me back the finished .pdf document.
    Can any of you help?
    Thanks.

    Adobe Reader is a free product that is unable to produce PDF files from any kind of source file.
    If you bought Adobe Reader, you were scammed. If in fact you are talking about Adobe Acrobat, then you're posting in the wrong forum.
    Post in one of the Acrobat forums (for example http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/creating__editing_%26_exporting_pdfs), but provide more information, like your OS, exact version of Office (I highly doubt it's 3, since that was released in the early 90's) and Acrobat. Also be aware that you can't just open a Word file in Acrobat, you have to convert it first to a PDF, either from within Word or from Acrobat itself.

  • Converting .doc file to PDF using Word 2008 - does not convert as is..

    I am trying to convert a .doc file (Word 2008) to a PDF file.  I have tried using the save as function and the print function.  Both will work however everytime 2 things happen:
    1.  The PDF file splits into 2 files (the document is 20 pages long)
    2.  In one area of text, two words are overlapped (in the PDF version) but are not overlapped in the .doc version.
    How do I convert the .doc to a PDF with out these two items occuring?
    Thanks in advance for your help
    T.

    I do not think this is an app but rather a function of MS-Word, the very function that does not work with high fidelity on Mac.  Any document of substance (greater than 10,000 words, imbedded images, figures, tables, or high formatting) will not convert accurately to PDF on Macbook Pro. 
    Using newest MS Office with updated service pacs, and experienced users. This is a puzzling incompetency on the Apple team's side. And there have been no fixes.  One could argue this is a MS problem since the software is theirs.  Probably true, but the problem occurs on Mac platforms, not PC platforms.  Apple can drive improvements.  Not sure Apple customers can.

  • How to convert all Word file Hyperlinks?

    Hi,
    I am having some problems related to hyperlinks.
    I am using Word 2003 SP3 to create 'index_file.doc'. In this file, there are lots of hyperlinks (20 to 30 pages full of them) that are redirected towards PDF files that are in 2 folders ('folder1' and 'folder2' placed next to 'index_file.doc').
    Then I try converting 'index_file.doc' to create 'index_file.pdf' so that nobody can change is with Word. To do so, I am using Acrobat Standard version 8.2.2. I want to keep every hyperlink activated. Works fine...on the first 15 pages! After that, there is a 50% average of links that work. And the ones that don't work don't have any path problem, it's just that some links are not links at all after conversion. Looks like it's only text.
    I already had the same problem with another index recently but managed to avoid the problem this way: in Word, instead of selecting a whole sentence and creating a hyperlink I selected the whole sentence exept the first letter of the first word of that sentence, and it worked great! (why???)
    So I did that also on the file I am having problems with now and it worked for a lot of links but not all of them.
    Is there a maximum of hyperlinks Acrobat can convert from DOC files to PDF files? Is there a setting I can change to make all links work? Do you have any ideas? The links on the Word file work just fine (all of them).
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes, there really are links in the Word file and they all work fine until a certain point where they don't work or some do and some don't but the 15 first pages work just fine and every link has been created the same way. All links are relative.
    It does work to enter the links in the pdf file directly through Acrobat but I wanted to know if there was a way to just convert it since all the info is in the Word file.
    Has anybody ever hade this kind of problem before? Because this is the second time it happens to me.

  • Converting an html file with jsp contents to a text file for download

    Hi guys,
    I'm currently having troubles with downloading a .jsp file to a doc file.
    The thing is i am able to download the desired file and make it as a .doc but when i open it with ms word 2007 i can only see the content of the html. The dynamic content generated from the database and reflected on the .jsp page that i suppose to download and convert to .doc file doesn't show.. I hope someone could help me... My servlet code is this:
    public class FileDownload extends HttpServlet
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
    try
    String originalFileName="localhost:8080//Appsdev//reportresults1.jsp";

    System.out.println("THE 1st f:"+f);
              response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");

    Hi BalusC,
    sorry for the double post i'm newly registered and it's my first post before i was just reading other's threads.
    well last night while i was reading and researching for a solution a came across this.
    <%@ page language="java" contentType="application/msword"%> naturally for my other jsp pages, the contentType is text/html so when the page loads it display in the browser. But with application/msword when i direct the page to the jsp page that i want to download and set the contentType with that...it prompts a window like when you're downloading the one with the <open with and save as>. It works fine to, i was able to see the report that i have to download and it is formatted very much like what i am seeing on the browser. My only concern now is the file i am able to download is a .jsp file how could i change that to a .doc file and be able to see the same content like the one with the .jsp file that i have right now.... any help or examples would be greatly appreciated. I didn't use the servlet anymore because even though i am able to download there is no content the html parts only but iam able to change the extension for the file...thanks again! ^ ^

  • How to open an old .book/ .doc file(s) and create PDF?

    Hi team,
    I seek your help and would like to know if you have a suggestion/ solution for the situation stated below −
    Situation
    Our development team received some files. These files seem to comprise of two sets of files and one .derive file. The sets seem to contain one .book and some .doc files each. The .doc files indicate that they are Microsoft 97-2003 documents.
    What I did
    · I tried to open the .book file with FrameMaker 8.0 or 6.0 and received an error message stating "Although <pathToBookFile>\abc.book appears to be a FrameMaker document, it can't be opened with this release of the product."
    · I tried to open the .doc file by using a text editor like MS Word97/ notepad and it displayed <MakerFile 1.03> in the File Conversion dialog box
    Saved .doc file as .fm and tried to import into/ create a new book
    Attempted to convert the .doc files by using an online conversion utility
    Opened by using HTMLDOC and DOXYGEN tools – displays BAD HEADER message
    What is required
    The files need to be converted to a readable format, preferably two separate PDFs.
    My questions
    ·         Are these FrameMaker files? Or do you suggest that they have been created by using some software other than Adobe FM?
    ·         If these are FrameMaker files – what version could they be (in view of the <MakerFile 1.03> tag)? is there a possibility that the files need a version older than Adobe FM6.0 to be opened?
    ·         How can I create a readable format (preferably PDFs) from the .book and .doc files?
    Please let me know any information that you may need.
    Thanks!

    If the .doc files actually have <MakerFile 1.03> at the start, then they're from the first release of FM. Check the book file in a text editor, to see if it has a corresponding <BookFile 1.03> in the first 16-bytes.
    These are very old files and hopefully without any corruption.
    You could try using FM's "heroic open" to see if anything can be recovered from these.
    First open/create a blank document.
    Next type <esc> o H to trigger the "heroic" open. It display a standard file open window, but this skips a lot of error checking and tries to pull whatever pieces it understands out of the file.
    You should then immediately save as MIF and then exit FM, so as to not leave it in a potentially unstable state.
    You can then open the MIF file in FM to see what's been recovered.

Maybe you are looking for
