Convert Office 2010 documents w/ Acrobat X (potential bug?)

I am doing some testing with Office 2010 (32bit) and Acrobat X on both Windows XP (32bit) and Windows 7 (64bit). I have run into the following problem when trying to convert a Word document with X:
Opening up the Word document and either using the PDF Maker printer or the Acrobat tab to convert the document to a PDF works without a hitch.
However, opening up X first and then attempting to convert the document that way will yield the a very strange error message saying that I do not have permission to open my Word document. I double checked all of the permissions on the Word document and they all checked out - plus, I am able to open it with Word.
After a bit of troubleshooting, I have tracked this issue down to our Normal.dotm - specifically - where it is stored (on our users' network drive). After moving the Normal.dotm to %appdata% or somewhere else on the local disk and modifying Word to look in this location, the conversion went through flawlessly. I took the time to double check all permissions on our network drive and they all checked out as well.
I have verified this "bug" on Windows 7 and Windows XP in our environment. Has anyone else experienced this error with a Normal.dotm on a network drive, or have I missed something here? For the time being, it seems as though Acrobat X doesnt like the Normal.dotm on a network drive.

Did you updates X or have 10.0.0? The updates are required for use with OFFICE 2010.

Problem converting word 2010 Document

I am having a problem converting a Word 2010 document using Live
Cycle Designer ES2. I get the following
error msg:
Word (version XP onwards) could not be found
Word 2010 is installed.

I have just run into this issue myself. At first I thought it might be that LiveCycle is not yet fully compatible with Office 2010 but after doing some googling it seems there are plenty of folks out there successfully converting Word 2010 documents to PDF.
As a temporary workaround, you could try a copy of an earlier version of Word should one be available to you.
If I'm able to find a solution to the issue, I'll let you know promptly.

Opening MS-Office 2010 documents in W7 is very slow

Hello,
I am using Adobe Drive v4.0.2.6 in Windows 7 enviroment connected with an Alfresco CMIS Repository.
Everything works fine, browsing is fast, opening different file types is fast (PDF, PSD), context-menue in Windows-Explorer opens fast (check-in/check-out), works like a charm...
Except the case when I try to open a MS-Office 2010 document (doc, docx, xls, xlsx ...). When Office start it is looking for the path \\AdobeDrive4\MainRepository\... (Contacting...) and nothing happens. I am wondering why it does not look at Y:\... .
Opening a simple file takes more than 20-30 sec. (10kb). This is not a bandwith problem, because copying the file takes 1 sec. and other bigger files like 2-3MB PDFs just opens in 5sec. .
Any ideas why MS-Office takes so long in connection with AdobeDrive?
Thanks, Thorsten

Cannot convert Office 2013 documents to PDF

We are using Acrobat XI standard edition on a couple of identical Samsung PCs running Windows 8 (64-bit). On one of these PCs, we are unable to create PDFs from any Office documents. When using the "Combine" tool, we can drag&drop documents to the Create PDF window. The previews of the documents appear as expected, but this error shows up below:
Acrobat does not support the conversion of one or more of your files to PDF. Please remove these files from the list.
Office file formats are also not listed in the "Convert to PDF" section of Acrobat's Preferences window, but "Convert to PDF" is provided as an option when right-clicking on a .DOCX, .XLSX, etc. So far, we've tried running the repair from inside Acrobat, re-installing Acrobat, and of course updating to the latest version 11.0.4. What else can we do?

I had the same problem. What I did to fix it as follows,
1. Open Control panel
2. Clicked "Program"
3. then select "Programs and Features"
4. from the list of programs I right clicked "Microsoft Office Professional 2010" (since this is my MS Office version)
5. then clicked "Change" and select the "Repair"
After the repair I rebooted the system and everything went well.
I hope this works for you too.

Can't create hyperlinks after converting a Word document with Acrobat XI Pro

Hello,
Here's my problem.
I'm making a catalog document for my company.
The document that I'm converting to PDF is made on Office Word 2013 and it's a .docx format file.
I'm on Windows 8 and the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installed.
Inside my word document I have some pictures that have a hyperlink. Those hyperlinks directionate to a bookmark inside the word document. Inside the word document, if I do Ctrl+Click over the image, it will go to the page that has that bookmark. And it works. Period.
Beside that I also have some Cross-references on the word document. Those cross-references basically are the page number from the bookmark reference. By accident on most of those cross-refrences I left enabled the "Insert as hyperlink" on the cross-reference box options. When I Ctrl+Click over those cross-references I also go into the page of that cross-reference.
After I convert the word document into pdf, I can't get any hyperlink on the pictures, if I simply click on them, like if I click on a hyperlink on a webpage or something similar, the pdf won't go the the bookmark on the page that I've set on the word document.
The funny thing is that if I click on the other cross-references I can go to the page were that cross-reference is...
I tried all the methods to convert the file in order to obtain hyperlinks on the images...
I tried to use the Acrobat tab and the File -> Save as Adobe PDF, as both uses Acrobat PDFMaker, but nothing works.
Even tried all options on Acrobat PDFMaker but can't get it. "Create bookmarks", "Add links", "Convert Word Bookmarks", "...Word Styles to Bookmarks", "...Word Headings to Bookmarks", none works....
If I try to simply print from inside Word by choosing the Adobe PDF printer (like if I choose a regular printer), in the printers options it doesn't show up any hyperlink/link/bookmark option related, so that way is definitely a no go...
To reference, on 2006/2007 I also worked on a similar project and used this method on the word document (on Word 2003). At that time I had another Adobe Acrobat version, can't remember what version was...
This hyperlink situation was without any problem. After conversion, on the pdf file, if I click on a image it went to the right place inside that pdf file...
So I'm simply lost wether it's a problem of me, a problem of Word, a problem from Acrobat... simply lost...
I'm desperated....please, someone help me!!!

Ok, sorry for never talk since the last time, but I finally discovered why I had this problem.
I found out that M$ decided somehow to change the process of embedded hyperlinks on a image, but in a docx it doesn't get affected. Only after transforming it into a pdf by Acrobat that the problem emerges...
I found this site http://www.pb-solv.net/2013/08/embed-pictures-in-microsoft-word.html
Basically all I have to do is "Use Insert, Quick Parts, Field, IncludePicture. This inserts the picture in the old way as a field. You can use Alt-F9 to reveal the field codes and change the images to be embedded rather than linked."
Then, after converting it with acrobat, the pdf finally have hyperlinks on the images!!!
They change this on Word 2007. As I had the 2003, at the time, I didn't had this problem.
As I said, M$ changed something, but only is affected after converting with acrobat. So, acrobat also missed something in the process. I call it a 50/50 guilt.
To bad no one ever notice this problem...

Missing images when converting Words 2010 to PDF (Acrobat 9.0)

Hi,
I tried to convert documents from docx (2010) to pfd, but some images went missing. When I tried to convert using CutePDF, other images were 'discoloured'!!
Anyone with the same problem?

They are missing.. for example, i have this graphics with a few circles within a circle (different tones of blue). The pdf document only shows the 'outer' circle, whereas the inner circles are gone. Another is that I have a blue/grey graphic against a white background, with a text box with words on top of it. When printed, the text box is 'under' the graphic instead (I can see part of the text box on the white background)

Unable to print office 2010 document to the printer.

Hi All,
Greetings of the day.
Due to MS office upgrade to 2010, i am unable print document. I am using CV120_START_APPLICATION function module but with this i am able see print preview only.
Kindly do the needful.
Regards,
Yogendra

You see, this is what happens when the question doesn't have sufficient information to provide an intelligent answer. You're saying "i am unable to print document", but what document? From where? What have you already tried to resolve this yourself (maybe try another FM?)? And what is the actual question?
Simply by looking at the FM description I gather it has something to do with DMS. If you go to Google and type in 'DMS print document site:scn.sap.com' there are 1000+ hits. Are none of them helpful?
Going forward, kindly refer to this blog and this one before posting a question.

Fonts do not display or print correctly after you convert or combine documents in Acrobat

We are working with many groups providing PDFs for our project. When inserting PDFs into our main PDF the Fonts display randomly grabbled or like squares symbols. Does anyone have a solution?

Thank you for your response, I am trying to figure out what to do differently when we re-create the PDF so we don't have font issues when we combine. I don't want to keep recreating the problem, I am looking for a solution. Why does this happen? What settings do I tell other to apply on their Acrobat? Is the a font issue in Adobe? I found this on a Google search on the internet and can't seem to get it to work on XI PRO.
Embedding fonts into Acrobat 9 through Distiller:
Launch Acrobat.
Choose Advanced > Print Production > Acrobat Distiller.
Select Standard in Default settings.
Go to Settings and select Edit Adobe PDF Settings.
Select Fonts and in the font source window select the fonts you want to Add.
Click Save As and then OK.

Loosing bookmarks when OCR converting a pdf document. Acrobat X Pro

Hello,
I have an 800 plus pdf documents with bookmars. This makes navigation very easy. However I am unable to do text seraches on it and get the message 'this page contains renderable text'
I used instructions from this adobe forum link http://forums.adobe.com/message/4933687 from Kevin N Weinhold (at the bottom of the page). While this made the new pdf file searachable, I have lost all the bookmarks in it.
Please advice.
Thanks a lot!

Replace the pages of the old document (with bookmarks) with the pages of the new document.

Title field clearing / going blank on updates to Office 2010+ documents

Hi guys. I am having a problem where the Title property on a document (or more specifically any docx or xlsx document) using a certain content type is being made blank when a user edits the document. There are no event receivers and no workflows running
on the document. Here are the steps that recreate it for any document that uses my custom content type:
1) Upload a docx file into a library, populating the title field.
2) Check in.
3) Go to edit the item - in this case force check-out is in place so it checks out the document.
4) Change another property. Hit save.
5) The title field is now blank!
This only does it on my content type (or any that inherit from it), but I've tested it on 3 different servers with varying degrees of updates and it's the same result every time. There is nothing special about the content type (it inherits from Document)
and just has a few extra fields in it. I have not included the contents of the elements file used to define it for brevity but happy to provide if needed. Any ideas are welcome.
Many thanks,
Mike

That seems like it's defeating the purpose. First, we're on an Exchange server that is on our domain. Second, I'm trying to eliminate end-user input, this method would increase end-user input. Also, our Exchange server is 2003, from what
I'm reading here the autodiscover service wasn't added until Exchange 2007.

Unable to print multiple copies of documents on Win7 machine with Office 2010

Since upgrading to Windows 7, I have been unable to print multiple copies of documents in any MS Office 2007, 2010, Word Pad or Adobe Reader 9. I also experience the same problem if I print from Word Pad. The issue appears to be associated with the Collate Option in the Print Dialog box. If the Collate box is checked, I only get one copy of the document. If I uncheck the Collate box I get as many copies as I choose. The problem is that with the Collate box unchecked, I have to collate multiple copies by hand, and with 10 – 20 copies of multi-page documents that can be quite a chore.
The ironic thing is that MS Visio 2003, on the same machine, prints and collates as many copies as I choose, with the Collate box checked.
I can print multiple copies of Word 2003 documents from my wife’s Win XP machine to the same printer, but not from my Win 7 machine with Office 2010.
My printer is an HP LaserJet 1320nw and I have downloaded and installed the latest printer drivers from the HP Web site.
Has anyone experienced this problem, and if so, are you aware of a solution other than unchecking the Collate box?

I have the same issues with my LJ1320. I have Office 2010 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. However, my printing problem is more widespread since I have been unsuccessful at printing multiple copies of all types of documents, not just from Office 2010. For example, I have the same problem trying to print multiple copies from Internet Explorer.
I also have other problems printing from Office 2010 that you may not have discovered yet. I cannot print Excel spreadsheet grid lines from Office 2010 if those documents were originally created in an earlier version of Office. I tried saving them as Office 2010 documents and also using compatibility mode but nothing worked. These same documents print fine on the same printer from my laptop which uses Windows Vista and Office 2007. Also Excel spreadsheets originated in Office 2010 print nicely.
Looks like HP has a few bugs in their printer drivers.
I note that HP released a new Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5x64 on Feb 18, 2011 (Version 5.2.6). Have you tried it yet?

Menüband von Adobe Acrobat X in deutschen Office 2010 auf Englisch

Hallo,
ich habe ein merkwürdiges Phänomen im Zusammenspiel von Office 2010 und Adobe Acrobat X.
Das Menüband z.B. in Word, Excel oder PowerPoint ist auf Deutsch und das Menüband für das Acrobat-Add-On ist auf Englisch.
Wie kann ich alles auf Deutsch bekommen?
Danke

Hallo,
das Programm bietet die Auswahl zwischen Deutsch, Englisch und Französisch.
Aktiv ist Deutsch. Es spielt auch keine Rolle, ob ich Deutsch über das Betriebssystem erkennen lasse oder direkt eingebe.
Aber Betriebssystem habe ich Win7x64 - deutsch.
Danke

Groupwise 2012 SP2 and Office 2010 integration

I have recently virtualized Groupwise 2012 and all seems to work well, Messenger launches on startup and it integrates with other applications etc but the only problem I have is when I open an Office 2010 document I get the following message popping up:
Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office Standard 2010
Gathering Required Information
This is in a MSI/Windows Installer box, I can only imagine that its installing some kind of user settings but I have scoured the internet and imported all the reg keys etc that I can find. This also happens everytime a document is launched, if it happened once a session I could maybe understand.
Has anyone else experienced this issue with Groupwise and Office?
Environment is ZAV 10 & Windows 7 x64
Thanks
Rob

Acrobat 11 Standard Office 2010 Pro Convert Word documents to PDF not working

Adobe community,
I can create PDF's inside Word 2010 using the Acrobat Add-in but right clicking a Word document or dragging a Word document into Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard does not work. I have updated both Acrobat 11 and Office 2010 with the latest updates available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi markl16215442,
In order to convert word document to PDF by right-clicking or dragging the file, you must have Adobe PDF printer installed.
For Windows, please check that Adobe PDF is set as default printer under "Start > Devices and Printers"
While for MAC, Adobe PDF printer option is no more available and as it was removed with some changes in Apple's policy regarding virtual printers.
So, check with your OS and then let me know.
Regards,
Anubha
