Converting PDF to Word for Mac version 14

I subscribed to PDF Export and tested it by converting a Word for Mac doc to a PDF and then opening same in Word. My font was Palatino regular. It opened alright, but
Calibri was substituted for Palatino. How can I change this.

I'm glad you've got the problem licked now, or at least understand the limitations on some of your downloaded PDF documents. I suspect those limitations will apply to all documents that are downloaded from the same database or source, and will consistently not apply to documents downloaded from specific other databases, because of differences in the way documents are scanned by different database services.
By way of clarification, let me just point out that what you are calling Acrobat, which used to be called *Acrobat Reader,* is now officially called *Adobe Reader.* Adobe changed the name to distinguish more clearly between Acrobat — an expensive commercial application for +creating, modifying and manipulating+ PDF files — and the freeware Adobe Reader, which only enables you to view them. You'll avoid needless confusion by calling the Reader by its proper name in the future. No big deal, though: lots of people make the same mistake here. (I've explained this distinction to my wife any number of times, and have finally learned not to bother doing it again: she simply doesn't care.)

  • When I convert a file (Word for Mac) my links are no longer clickable.

    I created a document in Word for Mac that included several hyperlinks. When I convert the file using Acrobat to a PDF, the links are still colored and underlined but no longer can I click through on them. How do I maintain the click through ability in the PDF form?

    I am using Adobe Acrobat XI from the Creative Cloud. On a Mac. Apparently keeping links clickable from Word/Mac to Adobe Acrobat is a known issue).
    See this forum thread I later found after posting this question: Losing links when saving Word 2011 Mac to Acrobat Pro X 10.1.3
    I was successful in exporting to Pages then creating a PDF, however, I had to spend time adjusting quite a bit of formatting, which was less than ideal. And some formatting (like quote boxes) changed in Pages and I cannot get the Word version of the Quote Box. So again, not idea There are some other fixes mentioned in the link above that I am going to try.

  • Need full bleed PDF in Word for Mac 2011 ...

    Hi,
    I created a PC Word 2010 template that bleeds on all 4-sides. The page size of the document is 5.5"X8.5". When trying to "Save As PDF" on the Word for Mac 2011 I get a .125"(1/8") white border on all sides. This
    doesn't happen when I issue Save As PDF from the PC.
    Can you tell me how to fix this problem?

  • Converting chart from Word for Mac to Pages

    In converting a two page chart from Word for Mac to Pages, only page 1 converts. But because of the way I built the chart, I can't cut and paste one page at a time from Word and then convert. Word insists on selecting both pages. Anyone have an idea short of redoing the chart from scratch in Pages?

    I'm not sure I follow you. Did you try copying the data from the chart in Word and paste it into the chart editor for a new chart in Pages?

  • Acrobat XI will not create PDF from word for Mac

    I'm on a late 2013 macbook air, running Mountain lion, office for mac 20011 and acrobat XI pro.  In acrobat, when I go to file, create pdf and navigate to a word doc, acrobat will not creat the pdf.  I get an error message that reads someting like "acrobat could not open test.docx because it is not a supported file type."  Create pdf works with other file types. I can create PDF by using the Save As in Word, but that is besides the point. I bought Acrobat in order to process many word and excel files into on PDF-file easily and currently that is not possible. Anyone?

    This is possible on Windows.

  • Copy and pasting from PDF to Word for Mac

    I have a Mac Book Pro and I am having difficulty in copying from PDF to Word documents. Specifically, I cannot highlight the text that I want to move to the Word document. I have followed the help suggestions, and found that the PDF has not encription barriers. The cursor does not go from the arrow head to the other symbol that would allow me to highlight that which I want to copy. I have the text tool, and under edit, the copy word is ready. I am at a loss, as I can copy from e-mail and other things. Thanks.

  • Converting PDF to Word,(for translation from German to English) will not convert properly missing, g

    I have attempted to convert a document that is on A4 size paper from, a JPEG.TIFF.PDF.OPD in order to put it into a word document to input into my translation software. The software that I have to use will only accept the document in a word format,and everytime that I attempt to convert it to a word document, the pages do not line up properly, the texts is all garbled, some is missing or on top of other text, the fonts are all wrong and half the pictures to not show up, I have been attempting to do this for almost 2 months with every possible type of software that I can find, OCR, Paper Port, Adobe, Scan Soft, I need help it is driving me crazy.

    OCR the original using ClearScan. That replaces the images with text. Then save as a DOC file.

  • Convert PDF to Epub for mac,What can I do?

    Hello,here.
    I have bought a computer in the second-hand market,it is a really good computer.But here is a problem I can't handle.
    It is running the MAC system,but I am not familiar with mac.So when I want to convert novels download from Internet with PDF format to Epub,I don't know how to do it.
    Any help?

    Calibre is a great application for organizing your eBooks.  It can automatically sort your books by their metadata, and even display their covers in a Coverflow-style viewer. 
    Calibri makes it simple to read your eBooks in any format you need. It is a project that is in constant development, and updates regularly adding better stability and features.  Whether you want to ready your PDF eBooks on a Sony Reader, Kindle, netbook or Smartphone, your books will now be more accessible than ever.  And with thousands of free PDF eBooks out there, you’ll be sure to always have something to read. But first, you'd better understand the difference between: PDF, ePub and iBook. I have a cookbook that is in pdf format with all the links between recipes and index/contents done. As there are 275 recipes, this took a lot of work.

  • I'm using Word for Mac. Though there are various instructions on the Internet for modifying the templates, none make sense to me. They instruct to do something I can't follow. I change a template but can't save it to the template folder.

    What the ****.
    OK, I try to change a template using Word for Mac version 14.3.4 2011 edition.
    I make a change to the template but am unable to save the darned thing to the template folder; it asks for a file name like it's a new document. I want to change the blasted template but if I can't save it as a modified template, I've accomplished nothing.
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Thanks

  • Word for Mac 2011

    Hello,
    Let me preface this by saying I am not very tech saavy at all. So forgive me if I don't give the ring specifics, etc.
    I am on an iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core i3), MAC OS X Version 10.6.8. I am using Microsoft Word for Mac, Version 14.3.5.
    Here is a description of the problem I am experiencing.
    I have a word document open one day, and I leave the computer/office and come back and add something to the same document and then try to save the change – word won't save.This becomes apparent when I will try to exit the document  - and it asks me if I would like to save even though I just did save the changes. I hit save and again, it still does not save the changes. I have to copy/paste my changes into a new document. Close the original document without saving and then open it back up and paste the changes and select save.
    Please advise.
    Thank you!

    Try trashing the Word .plist file.
    1. Quit Word.
    2. In your home folder (Users / yourself) look for the Preferences folder. Open it and scroll through the contents to find the file: com.microsoft.Word.plist. Trash it.
    3. Restart Word.
    By the way, there is an update - Version 14.3.6 - that Microsoft has labelled "essential".

  • Does Pages alleviate the problem of bloated pdf files created when using Word for Mac?

    I am finishing up my PhD dissertation and need to convert it to a .pdf file to be able to send it via email, however, as many are probably aware, when making pdfs directly from Word for Mac the pdf files are enourmous!  If I move the document over to a Windows machine, the pdf is managable, but with all the little formatting details of a thesis, it screws up enough that it will be torture to have to fix it.  I will glady get Pages (I was going to switch after my defense anyway) if I can make a pdf that is not 140 MB (my thesis .docx file is a little over 500MB)!

    In Pages you have the option to export to Pdf and can choose between good, better and best versions. Beware though it is often the images that will lose in resolution. This is what the Pages User Guide says:
    If you’re exporting to PDF, you must choose an image quality (a higher image quality results in a larger PDF file):
    Best: Image resolutions are not scaled down.
    Better:          Images are downsampled to 150 dpi. Images without transparency (alpha
    channel) are JPEG-compressed by 0.7.
    Good:          Images are downsampled to 72 dpi. Images without transparency (alpha channel) are JPEG-compressed by 0.9.

  • Problem selecting text in PDF created by MS Word for Mac 2011

    I'm viewing PDFs in Adobe Digital Editions 4.0, and when I try to select text, the text that actually gets selected is 1-2 lines BELOW where the cursor (I-bar) is located.  This makes highlighting text extremely difficult.  This only seems to happen with PDFs that were created in MS Word for Mac 2011 and viewed in Adobe Digital Editions.
    If I try opening the very same PDF file in Adobe Reader, the cursor highlights text just fine.  If I open it in Preview, it works fine too.  It just won't work when viewing the PDF in Adobe Digital Editions.
    System:  Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite
    I have not been able to find any info on this issue anywhere, and if anyone knows a fix or workaround, I would greatly appreciate the help.

    Thanks; this last reply came closest to 'solving' the issue. While I selected font sub, it at first had no affect on the document.
    I then went back to prefs and set the compatability dropdown from 'Custom' (where it had defaulted) to 'Word 2004-2007', assuming these docs were created from a recent past Windows.
    I 'Saved As' a Word for Mac " .docm "
    Whoa... the extensions mean something. Your original problem (document shows bold, italic, underline, but tables and other complex formatting are lost) sounds as though the document was being exported as a .RTF, a Rich Text Format file. If you save as a .DOCM, that's a Word Macro Enabled Document. Regular Word 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 docs are .DOCX. Regular Word 97 through 2004 docs are .DOC. You need to save that document as a .DOCX or a .DOC or you're gonna have problems later.
    - and the documents appear normal (though I had to switch one to 'Portrait' as it for some reason wanted to display in landsacpe.
    Normally you'd have to select page orientation.
    So, poor testing on my part. I have no idea which of the above steps fixed it but I'm guessing the 'Save As' to my version of Word.
    If so, it would appear the 'Compatability' feature was not working at least on these two documents.
    Word's compatibility feature is supposed to ensure that a document you produce is compatible with the target version of Word. If you turn the compatibility stuff on then you will be warned if you are using Word 2007 through 2011 and you use a feature that earlier versions of Word do not have. Microsoft shipped a translator which works with Office 2003 and 2004 and which allows Word 2003 or 2004 to read Word 2007, 2008, 2010, or 2011 documents (.DOCX) and to save them as Word 97 through 2004 documents (.DOC) _as long as they don't have any incompatible features_. Word's compatibility features doesn't do much for .RTFs or for .DOCMs.
