Converting .doc file to PDF using Word 2008 - does not convert as is..

I am trying to convert a .doc file (Word 2008) to a PDF file. I have tried using the save as function and the print function. Both will work however everytime 2 things happen:
1. The PDF file splits into 2 files (the document is 20 pages long)
2. In one area of text, two words are overlapped (in the PDF version) but are not overlapped in the .doc version.
How do I convert the .doc to a PDF with out these two items occuring?
Thanks in advance for your help

I do not think this is an app but rather a function of MS-Word, the very function that does not work with high fidelity on Mac. Any document of substance (greater than 10,000 words, imbedded images, figures, tables, or high formatting) will not convert accurately to PDF on Macbook Pro.
Using newest MS Office with updated service pacs, and experienced users. This is a puzzling incompetency on the Apple team's side. And there have been no fixes. One could argue this is a MS problem since the software is theirs. Probably true, but the problem occurs on Mac platforms, not PC platforms. Apple can drive improvements. Not sure Apple customers can.

Converting Doc files to PDF using command line ?

Hello,
I need to automate the process of converting (in command line) word files to pdf.
Is Acrobat distiller Server the right product ? or is there another product from Adobe that would allow me to reach this goal ?

Acrobat Distiller Server can only convert Postscript to PDF. You may look at this product:

When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How can I solve this problem?

When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How do I solve this problem? I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

Dear Sara
Thank you very much for sending the converted file. Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful). I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK". However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before. I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images. Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian." Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
Regards,
Judith.

Hi M & B P,
Please give the following a try:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, log out, clear the cache, and then log back in.
If you're converting from within Reader, choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version.
Please let us know how it goes. If you're still having problems, please let us know how you're converting, what browser you're using, and whether you're on Mac OS and Windows. We'll do some deeper digging if need be.
Best,
Sara

Convert txt file to pdf using Acrobat Distiller

Hi,
We purchase years ago Distiller 8.1.0.
Now, I try to convert txt file to pdf files, but I always get an error.
Please Help,
Hezi

I have important information: Acrobat is not licensed for use server side, so you must not use it to build that solution, even if it is technically possible.
Adobe's server side PDF creation product is LiveCycle PDF Generator https://www.adobe.com/sea/products/server/pdfgenerator/
This comes in three editions. The "PostScript" edition is little more than a server-side version of Distiller, and will not convert TXT. However, the other two editions can convert a wide variety of formats.

Converting a file to pdf using API

I am using APIs for converting a word document into pdf file. I added 2 jar files adobe-convertpdf-client and adobe-generatepdf-client in my application and tried to convert a word document into pdf format. For this requirement should i have install livecycle, application server, Database etc. Can it be done using a java console application by using these jar files. If so Can anyone give me a sample code?

Since cfdocument can render HTML, you may easily convert JPG
to PDF, using
<cfdocument format="PDF">
<img src="myphoto.jpg" alt="my photo">
</cfdocument>
However, converting DOC to PDF or PPT to PDF with Coldfusion
is not currently possible. DOC and PPT have proprietary MS Office
formatting that is foreign to Coldfusion.

How to convert doc files to pdf files

how do I convert a microsoft doc file into pages and then into a pdf to send out to others?

Several ways:
In Word or in Pages, you can Print and choose to "print to PDF" instead of a printer. This applies to all applications that have the ability to print (I think it is all but I don't have all applications to test that assertion against). It will be like a printout, no embedded links will work.
In Pages, you can Export or Share as a PDF. In Word you can Save As a PDF. In this method, embedded links should still work.

Converting excel file to PDF using Adobe 9 standard on windows XP

I have installed office 2010 SP1 on a computer and it already has adobe 9 installed. user never had problem with converting multi sheet excel workbook to PDF using MSoffice 2003.
Now, when we open excel files in EXCEL 2010 then try to print it to adobe 9, it asks for a filename and we type a name and it convert the first 2 sheet and then it asks again for the other filename and if we enter other name it print other sheets into second file. so basically it splits to 2 PDF files for no reason.
I tested same file on my laptop with windows 7 and adobe standard 9 and office 2010 and i got same result.
anybody knows what is the issue?

Have you updated Acrobat? Have you tried printing to another file format just to see if it is an issue with Acrobat or OFFICE 2010. OFFICE 2010 has forced many folks to upgrade to AA X to obtain compatibility.

Problems with some photos when converting Publisher files to PDF using Acrobat 9

I tried to make a pdf of a publisher document that has a number of photographs. Two of the photographs appear grey with streaks -looks like some of the colours are not converting properly. The same document works fine with Acrobat 8 but not with version 9. Anybody have this experience?

Graffit's suggestion did not work for me.
I work for the Ontario government, and we are still using Office 2003. I am not sure what version of 9 we are using as we get bulk licences to use the program. I only got the program in August 2010. I used the default settings in the program.
I try to open the publisher document in Adobe. I have also tried opening the publisher document, then converting it to the PDF. Both have two of the photos that don't convert properly. The other photos are fine.
The two photos in question were given to us by the Communications department. I don't have the originals. The photos were copied from other document. I don't know what the format of the orginal photos were. The person in Communications has not responded to my request yet.

Microsoft Word 2008 does not work after lion installation

After I installed Lion in my MacBook Pro, Microsoft word 2008 failed to work properly. Each time I try to quit word an error message appears and word closes and reloads automatically. The only way I can now really quite word is by the 'Force quit' option (in the apple menu). Word was working properly with Snow Leopard, so no idea what happened there... Any hint? Thanks

Ok, did exactly what you said... To 'make word crash' I only had to open it and then try to 'quit' it, in crashes 100% of the time...

Convert .txt file to .pdf using java code

Hi,
My requirement is to read the .txt file and convert it into .pdf file after changing certain text.
Searched the net got a document on iText ..is it the only way for conversion or any other method....please help.
Thanks in advance.
Pooja

Hi.
You could review this [url|http://www.roseindia.net/java/java-conversion/TextToPDF.shtml].
It is a good example to use the iText Library.
The other option could be [PDFBox|http://pdfbox.apache.org/].
Here some [example code|http://pdfbox.apache.org/userguide/cookbook/creation.html#HelloWorld].
Another option, but more complicated is [Apache FOP|http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/].
I hope you can find the right solution.
Kindest regards, have a great day
