Converting from Word to PDF and printer settings

I have a program that writes letters automatically in Word and if we have a PDF file as an enclosure when the letter prints, it actually converts the word document as a whole to a PDF. This part works great, however, when the letter begins with Word we have the Page setup for the printer to print the first page on letterhead (tray 1) and all pages after to plain paper (tray 2). When the word document converts to pdf, it is printing everything from tray 1 which is letterhead.
Is there any way to convert a document to pdf and keep the page settings as well?
Thanks for any input!

Don't have an answer. However, you might consider creating the WORD document so that the letterhead is built in and you do not need the paper.

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

How to use .joboptions file while converting from Word to PDF

Hi,
I'm pretty new to Acrobat. I'm using Acrobat XI. I need to convert a word document to a PDF file which conforms to certain requirements described by a given .joboptions file. The .joboptions file can be opened by distiller, but as far as I know distiller is not invovled in the conversion (Word to PDF) process. So how can I make sure the converted PDF file meets the requirement described by the .joboptions file?

Distiller is used when converting from Word to PDF, if you do it via the Acrobat panel, not the Adobe PDF printer or Word's internal Export to PDF command. If you've loaded your joboptions file in Distiller (via Settings - Add Adobe PDF Settings), then you will see it in the drop-down of Conversion Settings when you click the Preferences button in the Acrobat panel in Word.
After you've selected your job options profile click the Create PDF button, and the file will be converted using the selected options.

Since 11-4-14 every convert from Word to PDF has failed online or desktop - when will this be sorted

Since 11-4-14 EVERY convert from Word to PDF either online or desktop has failed, when will this be fixed?

No replies on here so went online and tried various options including "repair reader installation" plus uninstall and reinstall etc, some posts suggested a repair from the Printers file (Vista) so installed AdobeCreatePDF desktop printer plus Xerox Phaser PS printer as advised. All without any obvious sucess ie still no word docs converted after hours of trying. Then unexpectedly a further test convert attempt succeeded; tested again on desktop plus online and now all works fine as it did before. Who knows why - possibly only Adobe know. Will leave this thread here just in case the fail reappears over next few days!

Black Pages - Convert from Word to PDF

When I convert a Word document to a PDF, the pages on the PDF document are black. This only happens on select Word document that use a specific cover graphic. I've sent the same document to a co-worker and they were able to convert the document to PDF with no issues. I have verified my preferences with my co-worker and these are the same. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (10). I was previously able to convert a Word document with the same graphic to PDF without any issues. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Then the problem originates from Microsoft Word; you should ask in the appropriate Microsoft Office forum.

Converting from WORD to pdf always fails the first time

OS is XP. Acrobat Pro 8.1.5. When I first convert from WORD, EXCEL, whatever the program appears to be working but no file is created. This happens always on the first time I convert to pdf for the day. Once I do it again, it works and continues to work throughout the day. I turn off my computer at night and again the next day when I come in it doesn't convert the first time but will work again. Is there something in Windows or Acrobat that I can fix to get this to work properly?

If you are using Word 2007 (you don't say) you might try the Microsoft plugin... this is instead of Acrobat

If you are using an earlier version of Word (or Word '07) make sure you have installed all Microsoft Office updates, so you'll know this is not a Microsoft bug

Converting from word to pdf

When converting from a Word doc to a pdf using joboptions file settings, the layout changes - text is moved up as if the bottom margin is decreased. This is a problem when the heading on a new page is moved to bottom of the previous page. Please help - thanks.

I've noticed the problem in multiple words docs but it doesn't always happen. I tried again, using print to adobe as I usually do, and noticed that the last line of the first page moved to second page after I converted. However, this didn't happen when I converted using PDFMaker - thanks! I will convert using PDFMaker from now on to hopefully avoid the problem.

Converting from Word to .pdf distorts formatting

When I convert a Word document to a .pdf, when I have a bulleted list and the first sentence of each bullet is underlined, format gets distorted when I print to .pdf. I've retyped the document from scratch and experimented with a few different fonts and regardless, the results are the same. One or two of the bullets appear normal (so does the underlined text) and then a few other bullets and the underline itself (but not the text) appear bolded.
Anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions or solutions? Thank you.

You really need to post version details
If you are using Word 2007 try the Microsoft product at this link
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4D951911-3E7E-4AE6-B059-A2E79ED87 041&displaylang=en
If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)

Convert from Word to PDF

I have been trying to convert both word documents and excel documents to Adobe PDF's. I have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Professional but I get an error message saying that " PDF Maker encountered an error while printing the PDF. Please Retry. " Of course I retry but it still says the same thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you have Office 2008 the PDFMaker is written using VBA. VBA is not in Office2008.
To make PDF's from Word2008, go to "Save As..." and select PDF. MS got tired of waiting 20 years for adobe to figure out how to interpret insert page and Insert Section breaks so Office2008 they make PDF directly.

Editing PDF When Converted from Word to PDF

I converted a word document to PDF. When I opened the file to edit and use the OCR Text Recognition it said could not edit because of renderable text.
I also have photos and website links in the document.
What can I do so I can edit the text?

Thanks for your quick responses.
Yes I do. I guess I need to re- edit in word. I just thought I could edit it in 9.0 Pro as well. I was getting some large spaces in between some paragraphs. In word the spaces do not look as large.
Also if you know if there is a way to make it so the links are workable. I plan to make the text protected from copy and paste, etc etc.This is going to be an informative Ebook and I want the users to be able to click on the links and continue to various websites.

How to Convert Blog Page in PDF and Print it Directly?

Hi,
I have a technology tips and tricks related blog which is named TechnTechie. I want that my visitors will be able to convert all of my blog pages to PDF and also will be able to print that out with a single click with the pictures in the post. Is it possible to do that? If possible please suggest how to do that? My blog is in WordPress blog and the url is http://techntechie.com
Thank You

You cannot invoke "automatic" printing from the server side. Best what you can do is to download the whole PDF file inline and let the client decide what to do with it. If you really, really want to pick a page out of the PDF file and display that page only, then you should use a PDF reader API for Java to be able to pick a page programmatically. iText is such a PDF reader API for Java. You can find it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/itext

Hyperlinks not converting from Word to PDF

I've read the other discussions regarding this topic & the solutions don't seem to work for me. I'm using Word '07 converting to Acrobat 8. Some of my hyperlinks will convert but not all. AND, one hyperlink is linking wrong in Acrobat even though it's correct in Word. I've checked my preferences in Word & Acrobat - all the right things are checked. I've tried creating it from Word & from Acrobat & nothing is working.
Can anybody ease my frustation? Please?!
Thank you.

Please repost in the Acrobat forum.
