Converting from Word 2007 to PDF (Acrobat 8.0) footers formatting problems

As the title describes, when I convert to pdf the text in my footers is changed. In Word, the footer simply has a link back to the bookmarks. The text is as so:
Click here go to back to the Table of Contents (with the Table of Contents text the actual link)
When I go ahead and convert to PDF, the font color is changed and only a couple words are underlined. In addition the last four words get placed three lines below the other words.
Any ideas on fixing this? I have not yet patched due to not have admin priv, but am working with our IT guy to update.

Be sure that WORD gets patched too. Often these problems turn out to be OFFICE issues. You might try a sample print to paper to see the issue. Also, AA is at 8.1.6.
There have been several problems folks have had with WORD 2007. The updates help some, but it is almost as though MS put some hooks in WORD 2007 to cross up Acrobat in some cases. I have run PPT documents with earlier versions of WORD and Acrobat with no problem. WORD 2007 would produce a totally different result that was not expected. There are even differences in graphics that you put in a DOC file versus a DOCX file. The latter seems to be doing some strange things to graphics. I would tell you more, but I really try to stay away from WORD unless I need it for compatibility with others.

Convert from Word 2007 to Acrobat Pro 9; bookmark issue

When converting from Word 2007 to PDF using Acrobat Pro 9, enabling "Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks", not only are Headings converted to bookmarks, but bulleted text (styles), as well. I attached the subsequent PDF, but this forum does not permit the document attachment. I really only want to show the Headings. (It may be noteworthy to mention that when using this same set of styles in Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro7 the conversion was seamless.)
Does anyone know how to correct this? I have reviewed my Word styles and the issue does not appear to be on the document level. Am I missing some obscure setting?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.
-PS

I had a similar situation occur when converting Word 2007 docs to Acrobat Pro 9 Extended via the PDFMaker (Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007), and I want to share a workaround. In summary, I had extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF (heading 3s, body text, XE Index tags, etc.) that I did not select to be in the PDF. I contacted Adobe's support and ended up talking for approx. 2.5 hrs to 2 different reps with no solution. They reproduced the issue on their end, but couldn't figure out how to fix this. I recently upgraded to Tech Comm Suite 2.5 from 1.0. The Word 2007 conversion to PDF via Acrobat Pro 8.x worked fine.
Scenario: I have 400-page user guides that I am required to publish as 'Press Quality' with navigable bookmarks to certain headings in the PDF. I have to generate the PDF via the Acrobat Add-On tab in Word, since I do not want to manually insert bookmarks in the PDF for 400 page documents (as you would when using the Adobe Print driver or 'Save As PDF' operation).
In the Adobe PDF Maker dialog, I have the following Application Settings selected in the General tab:
Create Bookmarks
Add Links
In the Bookmarks tab, I originally had only two Elements selected for bookmarks:
Heading 1 (a Word Heading already present) as the Level 1 Bookmark.
Table of Contents Bookmark (a Word Style I created) as the Level 2 Bookmark.
As a result, the Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks were both enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
The resulting PDF contained extraneous bookmarks that I did NOT select, such as Heading 2s, 3s, even body text - too much to clean up for 400-page documents! Additionally, and this was annoying too - I noticed that all bookmarks appeared as Level 1 Bookmarks, making the PDF Bookmarks really messy. I converted multiple Word 2007 documents with the same results.
How I resolved the issue:
In the Word 2007 document, open the Styles window, select all instances of the specific Word Heading (in my case, Heading 1). All instances of the selected Word Heading will be selected in the doc.
Click the New Style icon in the lower left part of the Styles window.
In the Create New Style from Formatting dialog, create a new style name (e.g., I created H1).
Just to be sure to NOT create the new style from an existing Word Heading, I selected (no style) in the Style Based On field.
Configure the remaining formatting items as necessary, and then click OK. All of the selected instances from the old Word Heading style are now changed to the new style created (in my case, H1).
Click the Preferences tab in the Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007, and open the Bookmarks tab.
Remove the old Word Heading (in my case, it was Heading 1) so it no longer will be included as a Bookmark in the PDF.
Select the new Word Style that you created (in my case, H1) to be generated as the Level 2 bookmark. Note: My original Level 1 bookmark, "TOC Bookmark," is still selected. Now, only the Convert Word Styles to Bookmarks is enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
Generate the PDF once again via the PDFMaker, and no extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF.
Note: I also noticed that when Index tags (XE tags) were present in an element selected to be a bookmark in the PDF (such as my new style, H1), they also appeared in the PDF Bookmarks pane. I just moved the XE tags down to the body text so they would no longer appear in the PDF.
Question for discussion: Maybe there is a bug in the PDFMaker when both Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks are selected? The extraneous bookmarks do not appear in my PDF when only Convert Word Styles is selected.

I have had a trial version of Acrobat X1 Pro - I have decided not to buy at this stage - for some time it has been conflicting with opening PDF docs after "saving as" from word 2007 - I uninstalled Pro X1 and now when I "save as" PDF from word 2007 to PDF it will save the document as a PDF but will not open the document to display after publishing - I have to got to where the file has been saved to view the new PDF document - this is really annoying - do I have to delete adobe reader and reinstall it - adobe needs to look at this conflict with acrobat pro as I have even gone it to properties and tried to have adobe reader as the default PDF program - the main issue is that I cannot view the PDF after publishing it from word 2007

Bug? Accessibility Tags Converting from Word 2007

This seems like a minor issue, but it's one that could create a lot of frustration for a disabled person using a screenreader to read tabular data in a PDF.
As you know, Acrobat plays nicely with Office apps allowing users to create tagged (structured), accessible PDF documents from MS Office files. I just created a simple docx file with a table (attached), and when I converted it to PDF, I noticed a difference in the tags it creates compared to conversion from Word XP. As you see in the Word file, the table is very basic, except that one of its column headers is split into two cells. This is actually a very common technique for presenting table data. In order to automatically tag the header rows as table header cells <TH> in the PDF, I set the first two rows to "Repeat Header Rows."
Converting from Word 2007 with the "Save as Adobe PDF," or any other method that uses the Acrobat plugin, creates a tag tree that is missing a <TH> tag. I found the problem when I was testing a file with JAWS screenreading software. Using the JAWS "current cell" command (Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 5) to announce the column headers. It reads the wrong header for the current cell due to the missing <TH>. So, in my example file, it announces $2 and $5 as 2010 amounts rather than 2009. That could be pretty confusing to a screen reading user, to say the least.
I then compared the result to the new Word 2007 "Save as PDF or XPS" feature. That feature tagged the file properly and the header columns match up.
Compare the attached "save-as-adobe-pdf.gif" to"save-as-pdf-xps.gif". Note the empty (but necessary) <TH> tag in the latter image.
Just as a sanity check I had a coworker with Word XP convert the file. Those tags were correct too. So, this must be a problem between Acrobat and Word 2007.
Anyone have other observations on this? I'm going to be leading some accessibility training and right now, it looks like using the Word 2007 conversion feature is the way to go.
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
I sense your frustration. For any organization that has to or wants to engage in providing accessible online information
a serious logistics support issue raises its head. To do PDF, HTML, whatever the proper way (and it can be done)
requires more resources (training, knowledge, hardware, software, changes to work flows, perhaps some more staff).
The is no "work smarter with less & pump out more" in this venue.
Yes, it is helpful (and necessary) to "be one" with the S508 "paragraphs" - WCAG 1.0 - WCAG 20.
However, once anyone begins to provide PDFs that must be "accessible" the first, single most important reference is ISO 32000.
The Adobe PDF References that preceded PDF becoming an ISO Standard are useful; but, ISO 32000 is the standard.
In this documentation there is full discussion of what *must* be done to provide an accessible PDF.
Without a firm understanding of this content, other information tends to bring about a defused opacity of focus which can
contribute to major conceptual errors vis-a-vis accessible PDF.
Leonard Rosenthol's AUC blog entry provides a link to the ISO permitted Adobe version (free) of ISO 32000-1.
http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/leonardr/adobe-posts-free-iso-32000
Additional, useful information is found in these two documents:
(1) - PDF Accessibility API Reference (from the Acrobat SDK)
https://acrobat.com/#d=J7bWW4LvNoznh8fHCsfZDg
(2) - Reading PDF Files Through MSAA
https://acrobat.com/#d=uIOvkVTP74kag3bXFJLIeg
About JAWS - Yes, much used. However, not the exlusively used AT application.
If I use Windows Eyes, NVDA, a braille reader, or something else then what?
JAWS *does not* define "it is accessible"...
re: (1)
"Game away and if it ...."
   Consider "Stop before right on red".
   "Compliance" is Stop on Red - Turn Right
   "Intent" (aka usability) is Stop on Red - Look Good for on coming traffic that has the right of way - Yield - when clear, turn right.
But, at least we are not talking about "left on red" 8^)
re: (2)
Just an observation. A defective product that claims to be "whole" can get entities (individuals/businesses) into a sticky wicket.
Putting a high volume of defective products on one's selves only increases the probability that one gets 'busted'.
Quantity replacing Quality just is not a success precursor.
Case in point - Target and the national class action legal action that was taken against it with regards to "accessibility" of online information/services.
Resolved now - see NFB's web site.
re: (3)
Ah, but what would Judge Judy or Judge Marily say?
Efficiency does not preclude providing a "whole" product.
I doubt that there will ever be a seamless "one-click" between products of any of the dominant software houses.
They are intense competitors. That this is the case does not abrogate others from providing a "whole" product, no?
So, if the organization wants the "we do accessible PDF" label then it pays the freight - Adobe Pro, training, appropriate work flows, etc
that permit delivery of PDFs that meet the standards for what a well formed tagged output PDF is (accessible is a sub-set of this).
For PDF there is no other way.
If this cannot be done then there is always HTML as an acceptable method (to some it is the preferred and only "true" way).
However, HTML, done "right" for accessiblilty is just as demanding in its own way.
With each AT version / dot version release, JAWS - Windows Eyes - NVDA & others hone in closer on utilizing PDF ISO Standard 32000.
That means if you deploy "accessible" PDF you need to provide PDF that live to the ISO standard.
Keep in mind that S508's paragraphs began when, effectively, HTML was "it". In software terms that was geologic eons ago.
For contemporary AT to effectively parse PDF, the PDF must be a well formed Tagged PDF having a format/layout that reflects a logical hierarchy.
Creation of all this must start in the authoring environment with the content author.
The post-process PDF output then assures that the PDF elements (tags) are the correct type, have the requisite attributes, etc.
Without this, AT will not be able to provide the end-user effect utilization of the PDF.
So, for AT to properly 'work' the PDF, <TH> elements *must* have the Scope attribute's value defined, Row and Column Span values defined, etc.
Scope, Row Span, Column Span, Table IDs and Headings must be added as part of the post-processing of a PDF using Acrobat Professional.
An alternative is the Netcentric CommonLook plug-in for Acrobat Professional. What it does, Acrobat Pro can do; however, the CommonLook
provides a robust user interface. Downside: at some $1k per seat it is not 'cheap' and it has a *steep* learning curve (Sitka Pass?).
Two table related resources are at this AUC thread (in post 3 and 4). They may be of some usefulness.
http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=23178
When the "smelly stuff" gets feed into the maw of the fan it's prudent to not be directly down stream, eh.
Consider Target and the situation they put themselves in.
Consider submittal of accessible PDF to fedgov or stategov agencies.
They won't be in front of the fan if usability of the PDFs becomes an issue.
Rather, it will be those submitting. After all the agency did say "accessible".
Better to slow down and do it right or ramp up resource loading to support "schedule" than to stake oneself out as someones "feed" tomorrow, no?
In the final analysis, for PDF, HTML, or any 'format', Accessibility is the Usability + Compliance.
Does it take improvements in professional development/training, adequate hardware/software, *time*?
Yes. But, it all comes down to "where the rubber hits the road" - what tires are you on?
It can be done. I do it one small step at a time every day. Often, that's what it takes.
Deliverables are provided; but, with no mis-labeling and the incremental progress is identified, celebrated and the whole thing continues until
the "road" is completed properly.
Don't want wash outs, bridge collapse or what not tomorrow <g>.
(But then I'm a fan of "Holmes on Homes" which may go a long way towards understanding my point of view when it comes to accessible PDF.)
re: function(){Return ....
Good question.
My guess - either from the cut & paste I initially performed from the application I'd been using to assemble write up and screenshots or something associated with the Adobe Forum application.
It can't be that I'm 'special'; if that was the case one of my occassional lotto quick picks would have been a big $ winner long ago <G>.
fwiw -
You'll find a number of "Accessible PDF" related resources in the threads at the AUC Accessibility Forum.

Abobe v8: Problems with converting from word 2003 to PDF

I use one of those free conversion tools, since i am a student. My problem is that i have a word document with a unique page margin. When i convert from word 2003 to pdf everything gets converted except the page margin which is much bigger then it's supposed to be. Do anyone know how i can fix that?, any help are appriciated.

You cannot fix anything in Reader. If you have a problem with the tool

Tiny U's when converting from Word 2007 to Acrobat 9

When converting a MS Word document that has an underlined word in it, the PDF has very small capital U's before and after the underlining. This is when going from Word 2007 on Vista to Acrobat 9 (CS4). Anyone else experience this?

Here's how I can duplicate this.
1 - Open a new document or an existing document
2 - Underline any word using either the Ctrl-U keystroke or by use of the ribbon bar option (Word 2007). By the way, this occurs only in Word, works well in PowerPoint.
3 - Save document either as .docx or .doc
4 - Convert to PDF by selecting the Acrobat ribbon and clicking on Create PDF.
5 - View PDF, zoom to approximately 800% to see the very small capital U's
It should also be noted that if the "Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF" is unchecked, this issue goes away. However, this is absolutely not a viable option because all of my documents must be accessible for persons with disabilities. Furthermore, in theory I should/could be able to create the PDF from Word without the tags and use Acrobat's "Add tags to document" feature, but Acrobat doesn't handle complex documents well, or as well as creating the tags directly from Word.
To see an example see this:

Converted MS Word 2007 to Adobe Acrobat 9 random "Bad Parameter" Error

Question: I Converted MS Word 2007 file which contained 892 pages into Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard afterwards and while needing to update only certain pages I receive the "Bad Parameter" Error. My process is using drop down Document/Extract pages(make my updates)/Replace pages into complete PDF file/ usually with no problem then towards the last pages of the PDF the Error showed up! I believe that it’s possible, the conversion initially may have allowed many tags to be written correctly but some are corrupted. It could be a buffer-overflow failsafe that is having an adverse effect against the two programs because of the file’s size? I have seen some good advice come from many people on this site like "Bill@VT" and "CtDave" and others so I am humbly requesting assistance? Some additional background information is I have to keep the file size the same and I cannot print to PDF file from Word due to a specific format I must keep and most of the PDF is not corrupt: meaning receiving the "Error". I would like to know if the error that seems to be due to the conversion process can be corrected. I have provided some additional similar post below from other customers that may be useful as reference material? R/ Thanks in advance!
“Like 10 others, I get a "bad parameter" pop-up window when I try to delete 1 or more pages from a PDF created from Adobe 8 Pro from Microsoft Word 2007. Of the 3 computers we have tried to delete the pages, we are running Windows XP and Office 2007 on all. But 1 computer has Adobe 7 Pro, one has Adobe 8 Pro, and the 3rd has Adobe 9 Pro. None are able to delete or extract the pages -- we get the bad parameter error each time we try. The PDF has 260 pages and occupies 5.7 MB memory. What additional information can I provide to get a resolution to this problem? Thanks!” “Civilengr10” (posted Aug 17, 2010)
“I am taking adobe files from a database, saving them, and then making changes to them by inserting (from other adobe files from the same database) or deleting pages. Very basic stuff! However, sometimes when I want to insert pages, it will insert them but then say "bad parameter". After that point, I cannot delete any pages. It will give me the "bad parameter" error again and not delete. I have reduced the file size, ran "Examine Document" and removed whatever it wanted me to, and whenever I save a file, I do Save As...instead of Save! Also, under preferences > security I have the "Verify signatures when the document is opened" unchecked. None of these recommendations that I have read elsewhere work. Can someone offer me some guidance? I am working on the files locally. I save the files from the database unto my own folder on the computer. The thing is, some of the files I download from the database are fine and do not give me any error, but others do. Do you know how I can fix the files that are corrupted from the database?” “hoda64” (posted July 22, 2009)
“Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9
I have a Word 2007 DOC (not docx) file with pictures and text which converted perfectly with Distiller 8. I installed CS4 Distiller 9, and now the same DOC file flows over onto several extra pages. I am using the default settings. Any idea what has changed? Thanks in advance. “Petrula” (posted Nov 29, 2002) “First, select the Adobe PDF printer in WORD. Then go through the document to check for the flow of the document. It should print the same as you see in the document after the printer has been selected.”

For the replace and delete pages, I can only guess that you are messing up some of the bookmarks or links in the page from what I think you have based on the description. I would work on copies between each stage so that you can at least go back to the last success stage. If possible, you are better to go back and do the modifications in the original page and the recreate the PDF. If that is not possible, then maybe a better explanation of how you are creating the PDF would help folks understand your process fully and suggest a solution.
On the latter, I would do a repair on Acrobat. However, it may be in the process you are using in the conversion from WORD. How are you creating the PDF from WORD? Have you updated AA9 and not simply have 9.0? The confusing point is that you talk about Distiller for getting the PDF from WORD. Distiller is often involved, but only behind the scenes and normally you either print to the Adobe PDF printer, use PDF Maker, or use the MS plugin for PDF creation. So when stating Distiller, it is unclear what process you are using since none of the methods I mention state the use of Distiller even if it is used in the background.

Converting from Word 2013 to PDF - grey background appears

How to make images searchable (OCR) when printing from Word 2007 to PDF with Acrobat 10

Good Day, I have checked several forums and the help file, but I can't seem to get a straight answer on this issue.
Our office creates many documents in Microsoft Word 2007 that contain both typed text AND images. For example, I have a document with a summary section and then a .jpg of an event from Facebook. We usually Print the document using Adobe PDF and the resulting PDF is searchable with the Find tool. The problem is that the images contain text and we want that to be searchable as well. I found posts saying to take the PDF and Print it again as an image and then run the Recognize Text tool. I have tried this and it does indeed work, although the resulting PDF is grainy looking (even at 600 dpi).
What I would like to know is if there is a way to get the images to be searchable during the conversion from Word to PDF. I could educate my co-workers on how to do this and save the trouble of having to touch each document more than once. Also, I do not like the graininess of the image nor the extra steps involved to convert each document. It will require a lot more hands on maintenance than I have time for.
Any assistance or clues you can provide on this topic would be appreciated. Thank you in advance, Paula C.

Links breaking when converting from word docs to PDFs in Acrobat X Pro

I have experienced this same problem when trying to convert word documents to PDFs in Preview:
For hyperlinks that are active in MS Word (2011 version for Mac), but take up more than one line (they include a line break), the same links in the converted PDFs will only recognize the first line of text in the hyperlink (the hyperlinks in the docs I need to convert are the full URLs that are also hyperlinks to the same URL). As a result these links open a URL that is shortened and doesn't exist.
Is this a common problem, and is there a way have the full links be recognized automatically when converting to PDFs?
I have been able to get around this so far by creating the "invisible rectangle" links in Acrobat behind where the full link should be, but it is painstaking for large docs with many links.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Tim

Afraid not
This is an Old Problem that has been banted about since Acrobat has existed. We have two companies that are blaming each other for the Problem Adobe and Microsoft. Instead of Blaming each other Adobe needs to get their head out of their back side and fix the problem. I mean 15 years is enough to do blaming.
You can take the same PDF's with links created Mac Office Document and open in Office for PC and create the PDF and it works in Acrobat. Or you can create the PDF in MacOffice and open in Acrobat PC and it works. So the problem is squarely with Acrobat. But they refuse to fix it.
You might download and try PDFPen Pro and see if can create working Links in it. or a Utility called CUPS-PDF. CUPS-PDF installs a Print Driver Much Like Acrobat Use to.
You go to it to create the PDF. It is sent to a special folder. and the PDF are named with number appended to begining (example: Job_1TheMoon.docx.pdf). Rename as desired and open may have links.

How do you keep embedded documents during conversion from Word 2007 to PDF?

Windows 7, with all available patches.
Word 2007, with all available patches.
Acrobat reader 9.3.2
I have additional documents, spreadsheets etc embedded into a Microsoft Office Word document. When this document is converted to the PDF (using the Word PDF add-in interface) the embedded objects can no longer be opened and only appear as images.
Is there a way to retain the embedded document during the conversion so that they can be opened from within the resulting PDF?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks very much for your repsonse, it's much appreciated
I don't have Acrobat X installed at this time so am not able to create or edit PDFs (other than from Word). I understand that creating a PDF from Word may not be an Acobat issue per se, but thought that someone on this forum may have experienced a similar problem, hence thought I'd try my luck here
I will do as you suggest and try an MS forum
Thanks again

Images Sent to Back move to front when converting from Word 2010 to Adobe Acrobat XI

Images that have been set "Send to Back" and wrapping is set to "Behind Text" will move to front, overlapping text when file is converted to Adobe Acrobat XI. I'm on Windows 7. Anyone having this problem?

How you convert the document to PDF format? Export/Create a PDF, Save as PDF, print as PDF, or using Adobe Acrobat?
Please try to save the document as PDF format and then check the result in Adobe Reader.
If you are using Word 2010/2013, the save as PDF is a build-in function and you can find it from File > Save as
If you are using Word 2007, please firstly download and install the Microsoft Office Add-in - Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS .
