Converting .docx files to .eps and keeping the text editable (not outlines)?

I'm trying to batch convert a number of .docx files that each contain figures that have been created in Word (boxes, lines etc) in Acrobat 9 Pro to .eps.
I can create an .eps, using the document processing (batch processing) route, but when I open the files in Illustrator CS5 all of the editable text in the document has been converted to outlines. Ideally, I want to keep the text in the figure editable (and to create a slightly smaller file size)
I have checked the convert from PDF settings for Encapsulated PostScript and it shows 'Convert Text to Outlines' as false, the transparency settings have also been setup not to convert to outlines), can anyone help?

My thinking behind doing it via Acrobat 9 Pro was that I could take say 20 .docx files and via the document process function automatically convert them straight to .eps without having to make the PDF first. I also find using this route that I have an .eps that is already cropped to the four edges of the images (with no hidden characters making the image frame larger than the actual four edges of the figure).
When I import a PDF into Illustrator, I find that I'm getting the end of paragraph (hidden) markers from Word appearing (normally at the end of the image in Word, and some also appear before the figure where the author has hit return a few times). I then have to manually remove them so that the artboard fits to the four edges of the image. I guess I'm just trying to save a little time without having to go back into 20+ files and tidy them up by removing this character.

  • Converting a File to PDF and Keeping the Files Original Date

    I've got Acrobat Pro XI and I'm using the Action Wizard to covert a folder of TIF files to PDFs.  The action works but, I'm needing for the newly created PDF files to have the same date on them as the original files.  Can anyone help with this?

    You can set the date on the file (not with Acrobat but specialist tools may exist), but the creation date shown in Acrobat properties is stored in the file is defined to be when the PDF was created, not the original file.

  • How do you convert aiff files to aac and keep them organized in new folders

    I have spent several hours trying to figure out how to convert my thousands of aiff files to aac files.  I want to keept the originals and have the new aac files created and then stored in a file system identical but separate to the one that stores the aiff files.  Will itunes do this or is there another program that will?
    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    You can override iTunes' preferences setting to keep your music organized, but then it is off for everything you do.  If you have this preference set then iTunes keeps your music organized the way it wants to.
    I suppose another way would be to use a third party converter such as Max or XLD to convert the files to AAC separately. I then believe if you drag the files to iTunes while holding down the option key (not 100% sure if that's the key combination) it will not copy them to the iTunes folder but leave them where you have them.  If you have iTunes set to organize your music and do the conversion inside of iTunes it will want to have its way.

  • Converting docx files to pages and back?

    One colleague has sent me several files created in Microsoft Word.  I get an error "Import Error The file format is invalid." and the file will not open. I checked with the sender and she said it's a docx file even though the extension shown in my download folder is .doc. I've never had problems with MS Word files before.
    Anybody know how to fix this?
    I'm using iWork '09
    Lion 10.7.1

    To clarify: I never actually saw that extension.
    The files appear to me as filename.doc. The sender only told me their office system runs MS Office 2011 on Windows 7, and that their system converts .doc files into .docx format.That's the first I was aware of .docx.
    I did a little research and found that .docx is indeed a MS Word format and has been around since Office 2007. I've rarely had any problem importing or exporting since Leopard. So yes it would be something on her end. I've gotten documents from other individuals at this company that were fine.
    As a Mac user since OS 8, I habitually assume it's my job to resolve compatibility problems with PCs.

  • Converting raw files into tiffs and preserving the orig. date created

    How do I get the original date created to show up in folders when converting raw files into tiffs?  Once converted the original date created is in the "file info" window but does not show up as the original date created in the designated folder.  It is displayed as the same date as date modified.

    Thanks Mylenium
    As Mylenium has said, this information can be added later by various means. It will also depend on the software you are using on what date it is reading!
    As an example there are:
    The files date created
    Photoshop schema DateCreated
    EXIF schema DateTimeOriginal
    XMP schema CreateDate
    For an external tool you can use ExifTool http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
    or you could try to get a script written in the Photoshop or Bridge scripting forums.

  • Removing sections and keeping the text

    I have a number of pages in my document that I want to remove from a section. I also want to keep these pages. How do I remove pages from a section yet keep the individual pages?

    Hi John,
    It looks as though you are inserting new pages with:
    Menu > Insert > Sections > Blank
    That will insert a new page separated from the previous page with a Section Break.
    The Section Break is the blue horizontal line.
    View > Show Invisibles to see it.
    View > Page Thumbnails to see images of the pages on the left.
    Nothing wrong with how you are inserting blank pages.
    You can delete a Section Break, and two pages will come together. Formatting of the first line of the second page will change, but that is a minor problem.
    The Pages User Guide can be downloaded from the Help Menu in Pages. Well worth a read.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How do I convert a keynote to flash and keep the video file

    I am trying to convert a keynote presentation into flash, but when I do I lose the videos. How do I stop this from happening?
    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    How would this help? Flash is not compatible Keynote. If you are saying I should export the keynote presentation as a quicktime, then convert to flash, well, then I lose all the keynote functionality like the viewer choosing when to go to the next slide.
    Am I missing something? I likely am, as I am new to all of this. Could you explain in more detail what you mean? Thanks.

  • How do I turn off Picture Sharing? I want to send the file as normal and keep the file name.

    As above, recently I can't send images the same way as other files. I want the receiver to get the file directly. Right now Skype uploads the image to some website and also changes the file name, which is a big problem for me. Also it's very impractical for the receiver to have to open the link all the time.

    Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
    Please ask the recipient of your file to upgrade to the latest version of Skype for their platform. The latest versions of Skype for all supported devices are available at http://www.skype.com/download.
    All current Skype versions show the file within the conversation and do not require to open them in the browser any longer. By default Skype opens a thumbnail for received files. Make sure your pick a location to save the image as a receiver and you will get the original file and not a smaller thumbnail in a different file format.

  • Is it possible for automator to convert all word documents in my dropbox folder to apple's "pages" on iCloud and keep the same folder organization?

    Is it possible for automator to convert all word documents in my dropbox folder to apple's "pages" on iCloud and keep the same folder organization?  I am a teacher and want to switch from using microsoft office on my macbook pro to using pages/number/keynote.  I am hoping to get an iPad next year and go "paperless" with lesson plans and gradebooks and I heard that pages/numbers/keynote are great on the ipad.  I'd like to write an automator script (workflow?) to convert all my documents in dropbox to pages and have them stored on iCloud, then be able to access the files on my macbook pro and ipad.  Thanks!

    Create an AppleID under different email addresses for each family member at http://appleid.apple.com
    If they don't already have their own email address just setup a free one with Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or whoever you prefer.
    Then on each device sign into iMessage with the users own AppleID in:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Tap AppleID at top > Sign Out, then sign back in again with the correct AppleID.

  • How to convert a file of emails and the attachments to pdf?

    In adobe pro XI, how do you convert a file of emails AND their attachments to pdf?

    Unfortunately, that did not work either. I am thinking this may not be possible (at least with 10.1.3.4). What I was hoping for was that I could audit the presentation catalog groups and users. I want to be able to get a list of all the users and the groups they are listed in. Again, this would be helpful so we do not need to keep an external record. If we are removing access to a user or updating the group, we want to make sure we remove them from all applicable groups (Settings>Administration>Manage Presentation Catalog Groups and Users)

  • How do I convert .txt to .pdf and keep the formatting

    I have a large .txt file that I would like to convert to .pdf.  I have tried to print the file and choose Adobe PDF but the output is just a mess.  I loose all the formatting and get blank pages every so often.  Does anyone know if is possible to convert .txt to .pdf and keep the formatting.  I would try a virtual printer application but I am not able to just install any application on my office computer.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It may be a bit late for you now but in future (and for anyone else interested) I would recommend copying the text into a word document and changing the text font to Consolas. Adjust the size to fit the page again and it should match the original notepad formatting.

  • Batch convert Pages files to Doc and stay in the same folder?

    Hi there,
    I use iWork '09 on Mountain Lion. I recently switched to Microsoft Word and prefer it over Pages (personal preference). However, I have nearly 1000 files on my computer that are in Pages format. I have extensively searched this issue in the Apple Support Communities and it appears that there are scripts that DO EXIST that batch convert Pages files into Word files. However, it appears that many of these scripts were built for older versions of iWork and therefore I run into various errors. For example, I used the script available at http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2008/01/export-folder-to-word-rtf-pdf-txt-or.html and click run but nothing actually happens (the script runs for less than a second, then I can click run again). I was able to use one script successfully (pasted below), but the only reason I can't use it is because it saves ALL my converted documents in one folder on my desktop and I would like a script that can save them in the original file were the Pages document is located.
    So, is there an iWork '09 compatible script that can convert my Pages documents to Word documents and save them in the same folder as the original? Oh, and for an added bonus, it'd be cool if the script also deleted my Pages version after it was done with the conversion
