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.

Problems converting DOC files in watched folder

Hi, Have a couple of issues with PDFG: We have managed to configure PDF generator and can view the AdminUI screens. However, when we place a word document in the IN folder, the OUT folder log displays the following message: ----------- Failed to process job <file> Error Code 1 009 Reason : The service to convert the document could not be looked up. ----------- The watched folder as well as services are on local drives. We get the same error when we use the AdminUI > 'create PDF' section to upload a doc/text file. However, we can right-click on a word document and convert it into a PDF. Both the JBoss and MySQL services are running. We also notice that the JBoss service takes a long time (> 1 hr) to start up. Our only requirement is to convert DOC files in watched folder to PDFs. Is there any way to speed up the service startup time? Regards, Nagaraj

Hi Chris,
- Yes. PDFG was installed on machine having an Office2003 install.
- Yes. The same user credentials were used for Office and PDFG.
- PDFG is not the only application installed. However, both memory/processor utilization were < 50% throughout the JBoss service process. The JBoss service stays on the "starting" mode for a long time.
- We have installed JDK 1.4.2_08

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

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.

I can not open adobe files. mainly ones that end in doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert .doc files

I can not open adobe files that end in .doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert doc to pdf and I still cant open. I get an error reading.

Hi,
Which Adobe Service did you purchased?
If you have purchased CreatePDF please visit: https://createpdf.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
Sign in with your Adobe ID and password, and then convert your word doc into PDF.
Please let me know if that works.
If you have Adobe Reader, you cannot convert .doc file to .PDF by drag and drop.

How to convert .doc file into .rtf file in Java?

Hello All,
I want to convert doc file into rtf format in java and for the same i am not getting any help so pls suggest some solution for that.
Thanks and Regards
only1Vinay

MS-Word formats (DOC) are notorious for not being standardized from one version to another, so what ever you get will be version specific. If you must do the conversion, I suggest you do a MS-Script in Word to do it or one of the .Net languages. As stated the Word format from version to version is not standardized.

How to convert .doc files to .docx in a sharepoint library programmatically.

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
please refer url -http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericwhite/archive/2008/09/19/bulk-convert-doc-to-docx.aspx
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()

When right clicking on a doc file and choosing create a pdf file....Word 2013 launches and creates problems. We are using Acrobat Pro. Is there a way to turn off this feature in Word 2013?

Is there a way around Word 2013 hijacking Acrobat Pro "create a pdf" process? When right clicking on a doc file and choosing "create a pdf" .......the Acrobat process will beging but then Word 2013 jumps in and creates problems.

That's exactly why it needs to support it... The support means the
application was tested in the supported environment and is known to work
well in it. In unsupported environments you can get all kind of strange
conflicts like the one you're experiencing.

How to convert doc files to pdf files

how do I convert a microsoft doc file into pages and then into a pdf to send out to others?

Several ways:
In Word or in Pages, you can Print and choose to "print to PDF" instead of a printer. This applies to all applications that have the ability to print (I think it is all but I don't have all applications to test that assertion against). It will be like a printout, no embedded links will work.
In Pages, you can Export or Share as a PDF. In Word you can Save As a PDF. In this method, embedded links should still work.

Convert .doc file with embedded file(s)

Dear all,
I have around 1 million documents that need to convert from .doc / .xls to PDF, and I've found that some .doc files embedded with other files into it, like a .doc inside another .doc, or .xls inside another .doc, for those files, after converted them using LC PDFG, the embedded files will become an icon image, is there any methods to convert those documents so that the embedded files are also "attached" inside the result PDF? Thanks!

Bearyung

Hi Joel,
The feature you are looking for, is currently not available in Acrobat.
But you can create an interactive link (to open Word/Excel) using Acrobat. Please look at the following link:

Converting xml file with arabic content to pdf using FOP

Hello all
I am trying to convert a dynamically generated xml file in which most of the data comes from the oracle database with arabic content, to pdf using FOP. I have used "Windows-1256" encoding for the xml. If i open the xml generated with the internet explorer the arabic content displays properly but the pdf is not generated and the acrobat reader shows the file as corrupted or not supported. Please help me. Its very urgent.
Thanks & Regards
Gurpreet Singh

There is no direct support for importing RTF from an XML extract. Perhaps feature 1514 "Mapping formatted XML data into multiline field" will be of some use. This was released in 11.0, I believe.
Essentially you can establish paragraph and certain text formatting like bold and underline when you include the proper token information in the data. I believe this is similar to simple HTML tokens.
Example: <FIELD>First paragraph of data.New paragraph with bold and underline text. Rest of paragraph normal.</FIELD>
The result is something like this:
First paragraph of data.New paragraph with bold and underline text. Rest of paragraph normal.

Printing DOC files generated with RH HTML

I've generated 7 DOC files from my project (took 3hrs). They
all opened OK when generation was complete and I did a SAVE AS to
my jump-drive.
Now when I come to open them on 3 different PC's (incl the
one I generated the files on , Word just stops, and I have to creah
out of it. I've tried this with the smallest doc (4pgs) and the
same thing happens.
Well I'm now confused as there was no prob during the
generation.
By the way - if I generate then with PDF output option all is
OK

I have looked in Preferences and cannot find anything that seems to address these added-in headers and footers.
Aha! There is no Create from Web menu in Acrobat. But there is a Create menu, with the item Create PDF from Web Page, which opens a small deceptively simple dialog. It has a URL field and a few buttons, one of which is Settings. Settings opens a two-tab dialog. On the General page, there is a "PDF settings called Place headers and footers on new page." It was selected. I deselected it, and that did the trick.
I would have thought to find a setting like this instead on the Page Layout page. And, either way, this is a deeply buried setting. It ought to have been in Preferences.
Thanks!
