Convert word document to pdf in the same directory with right-click

Hi everybody,
With Adobe Reader X Standard, I want to convert word documents I have in a directory.
I do a right-click on a file, but when I try to convert the file I would like to save in the same directory (where the word document is). By default it suggest default documents location.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,

Note: There is no Adobe Reader Standard X program. There is Adobe Reader X or Adobe Acrobat Standard X. Reader cannot create pdf files, Acrobat Standard can. Please let us know exactly what software you are running together with OS.

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.

Anubha

Convert word document to PDF file in SAP

Hello experts,
I've been searching around to get some code examples to upload a word document and convert it into a PDF file and then store it in unix. I hope one of you can help me, because many explanations and threads exist, but I did not get wiser reading them...
I don't want to use 3rd party tools to do the conversion, but do it directly in SAP with abap coding and if necessary spool processing.
System details:
SAP ECC 6.0 (unicode system)
SAP_ABA 700 0014 SAPKA70014 Cross-Application Component
SAP_BASIS 700 0014 SAPKB70014 SAP Basis Component
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You can get the spool no from transaction SP01 and later use this spool no to convert the word document to PDF
using the function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and give the import parameter as ur spool id.
once the doc gets converted to PDF u can use CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG
to get the path where the file is to be saved and later give the path to function module GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the file.
or else u can manually execute the following reports:
RSTXPDFT4 (give the spool no. as input)
RSPO0068 (give the word doc with its full path as input)
Hope that helps u
Regards,
Radhika

Is there a way to "Quit" all running apps in dock at the same time verses right-clicking each one individually?

IIRC, OPTION-click on the Apple icon on the menu bar and select either Restart or Shutdown. Alternatively,
Control-Command-Eject
Quit all applications (after giving you a chance to save changes to open documents), then restart the computer

Disable (all) functions on the block diagram with right-click menu

Hello to everyone,
here is one more idea, which I'd like to propose.
As for me, it would be useful to have the following: when all components (functions, wires, subVIs, etc.) are selected on the block diagram (like, after ctrl+A), operator could do right-click, and in the menu would appear menu item "Disable everything". After it, all the code could be placed into Disable structure.
Of course, I can add Disable structure to block diagram manually, and cover whatever I want, but with right-click menu it would be much faster.
Also, it can be modified to disable only selected items - then each of them can be placed into separate Disable structure, and, for example, additionaly in the enabled case of Disable structure, corresponding wires will be connected. Sometimes it is needed for testing - just to disable couple functions, and test subVI. Or to disable subVI fully (it's faster, then disable place, where it is called. Especially, if subVI is used in many places).
It will not make debugging difficult, because anyway Disabled structures are used; such functionallity can just make life a little bit easier...

There is always the File->New... which opens up a new window. You can have your templates in that window by putting them somewhere (I don't remember where at the moment).

Error converting Word document to .pdf

Hi,
The office staff here has a couple of custom templates that they've been using for several years now to generate company letters. The company was bought by another firm, and about two weeks ago this office's network was attached to the new company's domain; login scripts were changed, security permissions, desktop settings, and so forth. Since that time, staff has been unable to convert their documents. Monday I started digging into the problem and found an Adobe Knowledgebase article referencing corrupted .icc files at this link:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=328791
The error referenced was not exactly the same, but it was the closest thing I've been able to find, so I decided to give it a shot.
Late Monday I went through the steps in the article on one of the problem workstations, and the error went away - was able to do seven or eight conversions successfully, so I saved the files and instructions for use the next day. Yesterday I started to do the same process on the other three workstations, but it had no effect on them, and in the middle of this, I was notified that now the first workstations has stopped working again, also - it was neither turned off nor rebooted overnight, but the same error is appearing again. Repeating the process from the day before does nothing now to correct the error, nor can I convert the *same test document* that I converted successfully multiple times the day before. Hopefully someone can point me in a direction to start looking.
Machines: Dell and HP, various hardware.
Example: Dell Pentium 4, 3.20 GHz, 3.00 GB RAM
OS: Windows XP Pro, v2002, SP2
MS-Word 2003 SP2
Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard, v6.0.6
Adobe Distiller v6.0.1
Inside Word, Adobe Conversion Settings:
Use prologue.ps and epilogue.ps
Conversion Settings file: Custom template settings (standard doesn't work, either)
Enable accessibility & reflow with tagged PDF is checked
Compatibility - Acrobat 5.0
Color settings file - "None" (some machines have Web Standard selected, which also doesn't work.)
Color management policies - Leave color unchanged
Imbed fonts - checked on two W/S, one has several fonts excepted
- unchecked on two W/S
Process:
Letter template has macros which insert a logo in the document at print time, check tables, do calculations, check for "forbidden words". Template also contains a TOC. To test this, I simply open Word, make sure the macros are loaded (since the login scripts changed, this has to be done manually,) and create a new document from the proper template. There is a startup macro that can be simply bypassed (all it does is allow operator to change the office location, otherwise just leave the default,) and then from the "Adobe PDF" option on the Word menu bar, select "Convert to PDF". If the complete conversion runs, this may take up to a couple of minutes to finish, then the converted document is opened in Acrobat. What happens now is that the conversion process starts, then the process bar hangs for a few seconds and we get a messagebox stating: "Adobe pdf printer failed to create the pdf file"
Most of the time, it doesn't seem to produce an errorlog, but if it does, this is what I see in the log:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: pdfmark ]%%
Stack:
[{FMSMColorLogo}]
[{FMSMColorLogo}]
-mark-
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

Try printing to the Adobe PDF printer. That may give a work around. I noticed that there was a pdfmark error. PDFmarks are added to the output file by PDF Maker prior to being sent to Distiller. That is how all of the links and such are transferred with PDF Maker. It is worth trying to take that out of the loop and see what happens. It almost seems like the folks that took over wiped out some of your logos and such, but there may be something much simpler at work.
Don't you just love corporate takeovers! I guess you can't comment though. Your link seems to discuss some related issues. It may be that access to specific settings files that may have been customized may have been lost or those profiles were deleted.
So much for my ranting with guesses. Hopefully I gave you some useful thought items. Bill

Problem converting Word Documents into pdf

Hi Folks - and Happy New Year to You!
I'm using version Adobe 7.0.
I written an e-book and can't get the darn thing to convert into a pdf file. Sometimes it works -- sometimes it doesn't.
I suspect the problem is with my many embedded graphics. I have created Microsoft Powerpoint slides, and have cut and pasted them into my ebook as objects inserted between the paragraphs of text.
When converting from the "Convert to Adobe PDF" button in my Word Toolbar, it gets all the way through and finally has an error at the end saying: "an error occured while creating a temporary file; Word was unable to write some of the embedded objects due to insufficient memory or disk space"
I have Adobe set with a password to protect copying, and the Word file size is around 1Mb.
My computer is only a year old, and I have 23 Gb of free space.
I'm using Windows Professional XP and Word 2002
Please reply asap or email me on [email address deleted by host]
You Have My Best Regards
Dave

Hi,
I have tried to get this right for a few days now Finally found some info at
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=330729
See point 2 below.
Creating PDF files by using PDFMaker
You can convert Word files from within either Word or Acrobat. Because both applications use PDFMaker, you can achieve the same results in either application.
To create a PDF file from within Word:
1. Exit from all applications except Word to minimize processing time. To further minimize processing time, complete the following:
-- If the document contains several fonts, either reduce the number of fonts or replace TrueType fonts with Type 1 fonts.
-- If the document contains large or complex tables, reduce the number of columns and rows.
2. If the document contains hyperlinks, make sure that the page margins are .8 inch or larger.
3. To add features such as font embedding and compression to your PDF file, choose Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings. (To create customized job options settings with these features, edit the conversion settings. For more information, see "Editing the PDFMaker Conversion Settings" in the Acrobat Help.)
Isn't it totally obvious to anyone that the margins have to be at least 0.8 inches for hyperlinks to work.....
I made a new page format slightly larger and increased the margins. After making the PDF file i trimmed it in Adobe. Worked like a dream...

Action to Convert Word doc to pdf, error: the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

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.

Converting Word document to PDF

Hi,
I am having problems since changing to a Mac and using Word 2011 and Acrobat 9 pro.
I need to be able to convert a Word document by setting certain PDF requirements. So the Save as PDF doesn't quite cut it, as far as I can tell.
For example:
I need to make sure it is not printed to "standard" but PDF/X-1a:2001 along with other requirements, like paper size. I can see where to do this in Distiller but I am not sure how to connect the Word document to Distiller...
Any suggestions?

Many thanks for this Philip. I am using Snow Leopard. I had thought about upgrading to Lion but may be I'll hold off!!
Ok, well I did as you suggested. I held down the PDF option until the menu popped up. You called this the Context menu but I am not sure what that is. However, the menu that came up did allow the quality to be picked. So that was good. After choosing the quality I did not receive any other options about how I wanted Acrobat to open. It just seemed to skip that bit and ask where I wanted it to be saved.
Does that sound all ok? Is that all that has to be done?
So, please excuse a silly question here. But what is distiller, if we can do what we need from the Print menu?
