Convert Word Doc to PDF - font in Excel object is changed
Hi,
I have tried to convert a word document to PDF. The document
has an Excel object embedded. In the PDF file created by
acrobat.com, the font in Excel object was changed (no longer Times
News Roman).
Can someone please contact me and give it a try?
My email: [email protected]
Cheers
Do you know which font it was substituted for? If the entire
font is not required, the PDF Conversion process will create a
subset font, and will then change the name of the font (since it is
not technically the full original font). However the glyphs used in
the subset font should be identical.

How to convert word doc into pdf - which product of adobe i need to use- what upgrades - am a newbie - simple answers please - Thanks in advance.
@Pipeline2007 - which version of Microsoft Office have you got? Older versions of Acrobat aren't compatible with the latest versions of Office, see this link for info:

Converting Word DOC to PDF changes to PP
I'm converting a Word DOC to PDF, and my header has several Registered marks. In Word it looks fine, but the PDF has added the letter 'P' before and after, changing '®' to 'P®P'
I've tried the same source doc on two different machines, and tried using earlier revs of the source doc.
I'm running Word 2003 SP3 and Acrobat 7.0.0.
Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?I agree with John that the version level may be the issue. Typically the first release of each version is buggy. Often the problem seems to be with the fonts - maybe the source of your problem. It might be that the "P" characters were part of the original as flags to change a font style and did not get removed.
You might also try printing to the Adobe PDF printer to see if that gives the same result (I suspect it will). If it does, an update would be appropriate and should at least be tried on one machine. -
Converting word doc to pdf, emailing and editing file
I need to know how to
1. convert my word doc to pdf
2. I want to be able to email the new pdf file to someone and I want them to be able to print it out but not be able to edit it.
Thank youThank you for your post!
I'm afraid that at present, Acrobat.com doesn't support Office 2007 files (such as.docx). You'll need to save as Office 1997-2003 format, re-upload, then try again.
Additionally, it might not work perfectly depending on the font, page breaks, line breaks in your original. Image placement, line breaks, and page breaks sometimes change if you save to other formats. Sometimes a font that was used in the original document is not available on our conversion servers. While we do have a lot of fonts installed on those servers, we certainly don’t have every font in the world.
We may ask you to share the file with us to help us identify the problem.
Please let us know how it goes once you save as .doc format!
Best,

I need assistance on this issue:
"Enter Description of Issue:
We are trying to implement a solution to automatically convert Word documents generated by Siebel to PDF's in order to mail them to customers.
I see from other support requests you advice to find 3rd part software to do this. Can you tell me if you know of any 3rd party software that another Siebel customer has been able to use to do this?
We wish to call this software fom script or workflow so that the converted document can then be attached back into siebel and mailed to a customer.
I understand the principle of how we can get documents from the file system and then using com or a command line call an application that will do the conversion, but as yet we have not found a good 3rd party software to do the conversion."
So far, I suggest one Enhancement Request(12-161Y57N) to customer but seems is not enough.
The last update from customer side, was:
"Is it possible to just give me a plain answer to my main question.
Do you know of any other customers who have similar functionality and do you know what application they sed to do the conversion? "
Do you have any idea on regards on PDF converter?

Can we convert the word doc to PDF using PI intarface.
I think it is not possible convert the word doc to PDF. Since they are Proprietary format of Microsoft and Adobe respectively
my source system sends a doc file & I have to convert it into a PDF doc and then further I have to sent it to target,
You might have to convert the word document to PDF using available software and then send to target system
You might have to develop some module program to convert.
There is one similar blog which explains conversion from XML to PDF. It might help you

Syntex error converting word doc to PDF
I am trying to convert a Word doc to PDF so I can send it to the printer, but it stops on page 17 and Word closes. The Distiller message is attached. How do I correct this? I am using Acrobat 8 Pro. Thanks
It's the only way I can use Adobe with Word. It has always never worked any other way and I can't seem to find a solution as to why. I'd like to be able to use this product as it's intended. Thinking of trying other PDF software at this point....
The only way I got the Word doc to print was to delete page 17 and redo it. A lot work. -

Font changes when converting Word doc to PDF
I have Acrobat 9 and MS Office 2007. When I convert to PDF a Word doc with Heading 1 set to Arial Bold, the Heading 1s does not convert correctly. The font style, size, and bold all change. If I change the Heading 1s to just Arial the Heading 1s convert to PDF just fine. Any else run into this?
Yes. I found it will work okay if you select a regular font and then select bold. Don't select a BOLD FONT type.

I have a word doc that I am trying to conver to pdf. I have jpegs with text boxes on top of them on one page. It looks great on the screen but after I convert to pdf, the text boxes only have half the text, the first half of the text box is just white - the background color. If I take the background color out of the text box, the text converts over fine but I need the background color.
I have tried many things here on the print settings, standard, high quality print, unchecking the compression on the images. Any help?Thank you for your posting. These forums are specific to the

How to retain the hyperlinks when converting Word doc to PDF?
For adobe acrobat 9 pro, I can't figure out how to keep the hyperlinks working. If I create pdf from word doc by save as, it can't embed fonts, but links work. If I use "print" in word, it embeds fonts, but some hyperlinks didn't work. What to do to keep fonts embedded and links working? It drove me crazy! HELP!!!
Depends on the version of WORD. With OFFICE 2007, go to the Adobe menu and select Create PDF (this is PDF Maker). That will save the links. A similar process is needed for OFFICE 2003. With OFFICE 2010, you will have to upgrade to AA X or add them in Acrobat manually.

I am simply running an action that converts all Word 2010 docs within a directory into pdfs in another directory. The Word doc is closed.
This is performed within Adobe Pro X. The directory to look in has been set. The directory to save in has been set, and is different.
The error message pops up after I run the action. If I click the OK button, the 'save pdf file as' box pops up, with Adobe printer's default save directory
(not the same as the above two) selected.
If I click Save, accepting the meaningless file name (ADPD5A5.pdf in this case) the problem goes away. If I chose cancel, the problem also goes away.
I don't want to save this pdf as anything other than what is set up in the action. How do I stop this from happening?
I've unchecked 'prompt for Adobe pdf file name' within the Word Adobe preferences, but to no success.
I will ultimately be converting scores of docs into pdfs, and cannot have to interfere with each one.
This worked fine on my XP machine, but now in Windows 7 64 bit (new machine, new Adobe install) it is causing this problem.A bit of a confusion on my part;
Now we have created these REPORTS using Basic Crystal Report 10.5, which comes bundled with Visual Studio 2008 and .Net Framework 3.0. Now on our machines, we have never experienced any issues.
Going by the above, you should have references to CR assemblies of version 10.5.3700 only. No other references.
Now, looking at this paragraph:
BUT on the DEV server (web server) which has .net Framework 3.0 and in its GAC its has CRYSTAL DLLs version 11.5 (required to create an Object of ReportClass and its related functions) ; sometimes we get the following error while exporting crystal report to pdf:
I wonder what runtime was deployed to the server. E.g.; if you are using CR 10.5, your assemblies will be 10.5.3700 and you should be deploying the following runtime (depending on 32 bit / 64 bit, etc.):
CRRedist2008_ia64.msi
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006255262008E/CRRedist2008_ia64.zip
CRRedist2008_x64.msi
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006255272008E/CRRedist2008_x64.zip
CRRedist2008_x86.msi
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009351342008E/CRBasicVS2008_redist_x86.zip
One way to check on what is actually loading is to use the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility.

Problem converting word doc into pdf
I've just installed adobe acrobat 6.0 onto my laptop
. Whenever I try to create a pdf file from a word doc it says there is a problem and will have to run in repair mode/ It then goes through the 'retrieving required info' instructs to restart the computer. Once Ihave done that though and retry, it does exactly the same thing.There is an easy and effective way to convert word to PDF through Microsoft word 2007. You can download Microsoft Save As PDF add-in from Microsoft.com.
Also a newly release one Office 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) has built-in the add-in.
1. Start Microsoft Word 2007
2. Open a .DOC document and edit
3. Select from main menu “Office button”->”Save As”
4. Select “adobe PDF”.
More you can refer this column of PDF Converter, which includes some tutorials about converting PDF to other files.
Glad that you got it working. -
In the past, I have used both the adobe drop down menu in Word (Office 2007 version) and opened office documents in Adobe (Professional 8) to make pdfs, but now neither of those work. If I go thru Word, it looks like its working, but then you see the Word doc instead of the pdf version, and if I search for the newly created pdf, it doesn't seem to exist.
When open Adobe and create pdf that way, it starts converting, and then says there has been an error and PDFMaker cannot convert the document.If you are Windows, have you tried repairing your installation?
If you are on a Mac, have you deleted your Acrobat preference files? -
