Converting a word document to pdf loses bevel effect

Does anyone know why when converting a word document to pdf the bevel effect is completely lost?

Following up with AA XI and WORD 2010 on Win7. It worked find. Apparently WORD 2007 did not see the bevels and the do appear in WORD 2010. I also got the bevels using the Std job settings with both the Print and the PDF Maker. I am using 11.0.07, so if you are using an earlier version, you might consider updating to the most current version. Then again, you may not be using XI. I did note that the Print version used my default page size of letter rather than the A4 that PDF Maker picked up from the original document. That is easy to correct by paper selection in the printer properties. However, in both versions I saw issues that appear to be due to the printer metrics changes based on the Adobe PDF printer not being selected as the printer during editing. Two factors show up and make editing a bit harder -- no hard page breaks (ctrl-Enter) and the use of floating figures. The latter is something I have lots of problems with, but you may be good with them. However, when the document reflows that can still be a problem. I did see some reflow problems in both files, so it is something you need to go back and review.
The bevels:
The Reflow Problem (from PDF Maker on A4 paper):
Maybe that helps some. So info on your versions of WORD, Acrobat, and OS would help isolate issues. As I mentioned, this Acrobat is 11.0.07. Don't know why WORD 2007 did not see your bevels.

    How to I access an Adobe command in Word to convert a Word document to pdf?

    Certain versions of Word will have an Adobe PDF menu in the ribbon, which allows you to convert the Word file you're viewing to a PDF directly, maintaining all the links, bookmarks, destinations, etc. in it.
    The other option is to use the PDF Printer and print the Word document to a PDF. This will result in a "flat" copy of the file, without any of the meta-elements described above. Basically the same as printing it out, only you use a virtual printer that generates a PDF file.

    You can use either Adobe PDF Pack or Acrobat to convert Word documents to PDF.
    Adobe PDF Pack is an online service, which allows you to upload files and convert them to PDF via a web interface.

  • Unable to convert MS Word document to PDF document

    Hi, I've not been able to convert a MS Word document to PDF version.  I am using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro Extenstion.  I've uninstalled & reinstalled the SW & used to be able to do this task.

    The followings are the error messages, thanks.
    This error can be caused by:
    General problems: The printer may be unavailable, the network may be down, the communication port to the printer may be corrupt or unavailable, a hardware error at the computer may have occurred (out of paper, paper jam, out of ink, out of toner, etc), and a language setting may need to be reset from the Regional Options control panel.
    Local problems: There are several reasons for a local printer (a printer that is attached directly to your computer) to fail:
    Check to make sure the printer has paper, ink, and/or toner and check the cables.
    If the printer appears to be functional and a printer test by the printer itself indicates the printer is working properly, then check the cables, printer port from the computer, and configuration of the printer at the computer.
    Occasionally, an application can develop a conflict with the printer driver and cause a memory leak which corrupts the printer port. If all else fails, restart the computer, recycle the power to the printer, and try printing again.
    Occasionally it is even necessary to delete the printer driver and reinstall the latest version of the printer driver.
    Network problems: There are various reasons for a network printer to be inaccessible: the name may have changed, it may be out of paper, out of ink, out of toner, down for maintenance, the network could be down, or a printer job previous to yours has stalled due to incorrect settings on the user's computer who last submitted a print job, or even your printer driver cannot communicate correctly with the printer. Network related printer failures are usually best handled by your local technical support.
    Memory problems:On occasion, large print jobs with complex graphics or consisting of several hundred pages, which can consume large quantities of memory on the printer, may cause a problem (especially if there was an over run of memory at the printer). You may want to try reducing the amount of complex graphics in your print job, or break the print job up into smaller segments and see if that corrects your problem. It is not uncommon for a very complex graphic to have a defect or error which prevents it from printing on any printer. It may be necessary to load new or revised graphic converters or drivers in order to alleviate a problem of this type.

  • Converting multiple word documents to PDF

    I am converting hundreds of Word documents to individual PDF files.
    I selecting 10 to 20 at a time to convert. Is there a way to
    automatically save each PDF so I do not have to sit there and
    press "save" for each new PDF file? Thanks in advance...

    Thanks for the reply...
    I was selecting 20 or so files from my documents folder in "My Computer" and then right clicking. I would select "convert to PDF file" from the context menu.
    This works great for making 20 different PDF files (which is what I am trying to do)... however, I have to sit there and wait for each file to be prepared to convert and then press save. This saves the file with the same name as the Word document (which is fine) but with
    the .pdf extension. I was wondering if there was a way to automatically save each individual PDF (with same name as the Word document with PDF extension) so I could "set it and forget it."

  • How to get acrobat XI trial to convert a word document to PDF without getting error message

    I downloaded a trail version of acrobat XI to try converting some word 10 doc to a PDF I keep getting "Unable to open document;" when I right click and get the drop down menu. I have been unable to get the adobe tab to appear ether as a tab or in the Add-In tab.
    I have Visual C++ 2010 will reinstall if it is need.

    I think on this occasion the problem is not PDF to Word, but Word to PDF.
    It seems that Acrobat is not integrated in Word. Until it is, no method of conversion will work.
    So, second question is which version of Word (as well as, which OS as Bill@VT asked)?

    Hi,
    How to create a new revision in PDF format from a word document inside a criteria workflow? The inbound refinery converts documents to PDF automatically upon check-in, but I want to make the conversion in a specific step of a workflow.
    Thanks,

    You could write a custom service and execute it within the workflow script using the executeService Idoc function.

  • Converting a Word document to PDF

    Hey everybody:
    The attached VI seems to work okay, but I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for improvements.
    It's in LabView 2011 with MS Office Report toolkit, using MS Word 2007.
    It reads in a Word document as a report, attaches a Word macro to the document, executes the macro, then closes the report.
    The macro just saves the file as a PDF with the same file name +.pdf.
    I don't know much about Word macro programming, so there may be some room for improvement there.
    Thanks for your insight.

  • Convert Controlled Word Documents to PDF's over intranet.

    Good morning,
    I have a requirement to take a word document that contains time sensitive information which expires 24 hours after printing (electronically or otherwise).
    I am using VBScript for this and have been successful at doing the following.
    I create the word document [ set wordDoc = createobject("word.application") ]
    I set the Active Printer [wordDoc.ActivePrinter="Adobe PDF"]
    I open the word document  [wordDoc.Documents.open("path&filename.doc")         path can be local or unc
    I print the word document to ps  [wordDoc.ActiveDocument.Printout ,,,"path&filename.ps",,,0
    I close word document without saving and quit word
    I can now create the pdf [set pdfDoc = createobject("pdfdistiller.pdfdistiller")]
    I generate the pdf [pdfDoc.FileToPDF "path&file.ps",path&file.pdf,""
    I now have a pdf document with the date and time reflecting the time the word document was opened for printing (now)  
    This works for Excel also with some slight modifications to code.
    This all works exactly how I want it if I am connected to the IIS Server where the intranet is hosted and Adobe X Pro is installed.  (Couple minor Internet Explorer tweaks to do ActiveX and keep security high)
    My problem is, now I try from the client machine, using the UCN paths to the server, and the shared printer "Adobe PDF" and it is not functioning.
    Any Ideas on what I may be doing wrong or what else I can try? 

    I assume that you mean that you can not install Acrobat on a Server and use it from a remote machine.
    If this is what you meant do you have any ideas or suggestions?
    I know that there must be some way to do this as you can upload a document to Adobe and then get a PDF version of it.
    This is similar to what I want to do with the exception that the file does not need to be uploaded.  All word documents are in a centeral location.
    I click on a link to a page and send in a document file name.  The function does the rest, creates pdf.  The web page then opens the pdf that was generated.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  • Converting Word Documents to PDF Loses Header

    OK, so a two page Word (2010) document with headers on the second page. Using the latest update for Adobe Acrobat XI.
    If I print>save as .pdf, it works fine. However, we often combine multiple files together into one PDF, so it is inconvenient to have to do this for each file first.
    If I right click on the file(s), then combine or convert to PDF, the headers disappear from the top of the second page.
    Can anyone offer any insight?

    You mentioned the print function, but the combine feature you mention does not use the print functionality, but PDF Maker. Try creating the PDF from WORD using the Acrobat menu. Does that give the proper result. If not, you may have the settings messed up in the converter. You might also want to check the options for DOC to PDF in the Edit>Preference (to PDF) options. You mention the latest update of XI that should give you 11.0.09.

  • How do I convert a word document to a PDF?

    help me

    Hi jzpartners,
    I checked your account and see that you have an ExportPDF subscription (and an expired Adobe PDF Pack subscription). It's PDF Pack (or Acrobat) that lets you convert a Word document to PDF. Please see Using Adobe PDF Pack.
    If you want to create PDF files, you can either restart your ExportPDF subscription, or try Acrobat (www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html).
