Converting CYMK document to PATONE

My client has come back to me and said that some PDF's I sent him (over 40 individual) were CYMK and some were pantone. He needs them all in Pantone, how do I convert the CYMK files in InDesign cs6?
Also, why would my indesign use different colour settings when I have nerve changed the settings?
Any help asap would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

He needs them all in Pantone, how do I convert the CYMK files in InDesign cs6?
Some of the Pantone libraries have process CMYK definitions (Pantone+ Color Bridge and Pantone+ CMYK) and some have spot Lab definitions (i.e., Pantone+ Solid, Pantone+ Pastels and Neons). Assuming your client knows the difference between a spot and process color, he is requesting that you provide PDFs with spot colors. Before you export make sure the colors are set as spot. Here my swatches panel is showing 4 Pantone colors 2 are spots and 2 are process CMYK. The process Pantone colors would export as CMYK and would not show as separation plate colors in the PDF:
Also, make sure All Spots to Process is unchecked in your Ink Manager setting

Actions - Convert CYMK to RGB

Hi all,
I was hoping someone could help me out with trying to convert the "Document Color Mode" from CYMK to RGB as part of an action. The reason for this is because i have hundreds of eps files that need to be converted to RGB mode, but recording actions does not seem to "record" the changing of the "Document Color Mode".
Thanks in advance,
Patrick

You need to use the "Insert Menu Item..." command found in the Actions panel fly-out menu.

After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected. It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option. I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday. All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word. I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.

I just converted a pdf file into word. I want to copy and paste the informatiuon into another document. How do I do that?

Hi Sara. Tanks for responding. If I cannot figure this out (I was up

Here are two files you can check on/help me with. When I try again, it

Please advise.

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.

Why is the footer blurry when I convert my document to a PDF?

When I am viewing my document in Pages (using the Club newsletter template) my logo in the footer looks fine.
However, when I convert the document to a PDF and then view it as a PDF, the footer looks blurry, as though there are two of them.
I've tried deleting and repasting and using a different format for the logo (e.g., jpg, png), and nothing seems to work. Could it be a sizing issue? (obviously I have to shrink my logo quite a bit to get it to fit into the footer....)
Help appreciated!
Thanks!

In your version of Pages, I went into layout mode, selected the footer, and enlarged it enough to cram a 180 dpi 1024x768 image into a thumb-sized image. In the Wrap Inspector, I selected make background objects selectable, and enabled in background. I turned off Object causes wrap.
I then chose Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master, and exported to PDF Best. At 400% enlargement in Preview, the image and footer looked normally sharp.
Here is a screen grab of that PDF footer image at 400%.

Is there a way to use Automator or AppleScript to convert iWork documents to Office Documents?

I use iWork for my documents, but I sometimes need to convert a folder of iWork files to Microsoft Office files. It's one thing to convert one iWork document, but it's very tedious when I need to convert multiple documents. I'm hoping to be able to automate this process. By the way, I'm using the latest versions of the iWork applications, which I know have a lot less or no Automator support.

Interestingly, the only Pages specific command in the AppleScript dictionary for Pages 5.1 is Export, and Word is one of the available formats. I have no idea how well it works (and no interest in producing Word docs) but it might be possible to do this for Pages documents.
Numbers 3.1 has just added AppleScript support, but it does not have an Export command.
I don't have Keynote to check.

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

Can I convert .pdf documents to word and back again using Acrobat 9 Standard?

Can I convert .pdf documents to word and vice versa using my (already purchased) Acrobat 9 Standard?
OR do I need to inhstead upgrade the Acrobat 11 already on my laptop to PRO?

Acrobat - Convert Office documents to PDF so that it is crawled/indexed by SharePoint search

Hi there,
This is a hybrid question between Acrobat and SharePoint and I'll post on both forums....
Background:
In a fairly complex application we have a publishing server that utilizes Acrobat to convert Office documents to PDF using the Convert to PDF functionality.
We then publish that PDF to a library in SharePoint. We would like to have those published PDFs searchable by SharePoint search. Unfortunately there is something about these PDFs where SharePoint cannot crawl the content.
Note: I do realize that PDFs are not indexable by SharePoint out of the box and I have installed and configured the iFilter utility. I have been able to index and search for other PDFs, so I know the mechanism works. It just seems to be these
particular PDFs.
I have also manually "Saved as PDF" directly from Word/Excel and those PDFs are crawled by SharePoint....it just seems to be when Acrobat does its conversion. I'm sure it's just a simple configuration somewhere... I just don't know what I'm
looking for.
Another note: When I open the published PDFs, I am able to use Acrobat's search to find the text.... and the text is selectable; so it's not as if the conversion changed it to an image.
So....would anyone happen to have encountered this issue? Or does anyone know what makes a PDF indexable by SharePoint search?
Thanks in advance

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that the PDFs which are converted from Office documents by Acrobat cannot be crawled in your SharePoint 2010.
For your issue, please make sure these PDFs version is 1.5(Acrobat 6.x) or above.
You can take steps as below for verifying:
Open your PDF using Adobe Reader.
Go to File -> Properties.
Check the PDF Version under Advanced section.

How do I remove extra symbols that pop up in a word when I convert a document to a PDF?

Before I convert a document in Publisher, all content is accurate. After I convert to a PDF, there is one word where a question mark is used for every letter n in the word. Any ideas for how to get it to convert accurately? I've tried deleting and re-typing, copy/paste, etc.

How do you convert that document - using Publisher? In that case you should ask in the Publisher support forum.
This is the Adobe Reader forum, and Adobe Reader cannot convert anything.

How do I convert a Word hyperlink path to point to a converted PDF document?

I have a folder with Word documents that I want to convert to PDF. Many of the Word documents have hyperlinks to bookmarks in other Word documents in the same folder. (I'm trying to convert all the Word documents in the folder to PDF.) After I convert all the folder documents to PDF and click on the hyperlinks, they take me to the old Word documents. Is there a way to convert the hyperlink paths to instead take me to the converted PDF document?

The original Hyperlink path, established in the MS Word files has as the target file some *.doc file.
Edit Hyperlinks, in MS Word, to change the target file(s) to the appropriate *.pdf file.
As a guess, I'd say someone familiar with MS VB might be able to come of with something to do the change programmatically.
An alternative could be a web search for a possible Acrobat JavaScript that might do the job to the PDF files.
Failing that the job would be done manually to each Hyperlink in each MS Word file.
As to MS Hyperlinks to MS "Bookmarks" in other files.
The [ # ] character used as a parameter is not interpreted by Adobe Reader / Acrobat in the same manner as MS Office products.
Consequently, in an output PDF, the link will only open the target file. Note that MS Bookmarks within a DOC file will function in the output PDF.
For PDF Open Parameters see:

Be well...
