Converting Word Documents, PDF, Powerpoint to BLOB types using HTTP DB

I designed a knowledge base using httpdb and it's working out well. It's great finally have our documentation contained in an Oracle database as opposed to Windows folders Word dcouments. The only issue is that some of our word documents contain images along with text. When I cut and paste the content into the text area field/CLOB the images do not paste. I also tried this using text with HTML and got closer but image did not appear after pasting into the text html field. Is there a way to cut and paste word doc content and images into an http db application ?
Thank you

Hi,
I have tried to get this right for a few days now Finally found some info at
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=330729
See point 2 below.
Creating PDF files by using PDFMaker
You can convert Word files from within either Word or Acrobat. Because both applications use PDFMaker, you can achieve the same results in either application.
To create a PDF file from within Word:
1. Exit from all applications except Word to minimize processing time. To further minimize processing time, complete the following:
-- If the document contains several fonts, either reduce the number of fonts or replace TrueType fonts with Type 1 fonts.
-- If the document contains large or complex tables, reduce the number of columns and rows.
2. If the document contains hyperlinks, make sure that the page margins are .8 inch or larger.
3. To add features such as font embedding and compression to your PDF file, choose Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings. (To create customized job options settings with these features, edit the conversion settings. For more information, see "Editing the PDFMaker Conversion Settings" in the Acrobat Help.)
Isn't it totally obvious to anyone that the margins have to be at least 0.8 inches for hyperlinks to work.....
I made a new page format slightly larger and increased the margins. After making the PDF file i trimmed it in Adobe. Worked like a dream...

  • Trying to convert word to pdf and getting error message using Ver. 7

    I what sent a word doc by a correspondent of mine which I tried to convert to a pdf. I right clicked the doc on my desk top and chose "convert to PDF". It looked as it has all the other times but after it had opened word it came up with an error window/message of "Missing PDFmaker files." "Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?" and then a yes or no button. If I hit no it closes everything if I hit yes it acts like it's installing something and after a while it tells me that the computer needs to be restarted for changes to take affect. I have run it twice now and it doesn't change anything.
    can someone give me any tips on this?

    You did not indicate the version of WORD. If it is WORD 2007, then you can not do this function with AA7. Try opening the file in WORD and printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that works, then look for the PDF Maker options in WORD (create PDF). If you find them, then try that. If they do not show but the print worked, then you indeed have an issue with PDF Maker - probably either the macro is not activated in WORD or the version of WORD is 2007.

  • Acrobat 11 Standard Office 2010 Pro Convert Word documents to PDF not working

    Adobe community,
    I can create PDF's inside Word 2010 using the Acrobat Add-in but right clicking a Word document or dragging a Word document into Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard does not work. I have updated both Acrobat 11 and Office 2010 with the latest updates available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi markl16215442,
    In order to convert word document to PDF by right-clicking or dragging the file, you must have Adobe PDF printer installed.
    For Windows, please check that Adobe PDF is set as default printer under "Start > Devices and Printers"
    While for MAC, Adobe PDF printer option is no more available and as it was removed with some changes in Apple's policy regarding virtual printers.
    So, check with your OS and then let me know.
    Regards,

  • HT2506 I am trying to convert  word document to a PDF but only half the document accurately converts. Is there a way to fix this?

    I am trying to convert  word document to a PDF but only half the document accurately converts. Is there a way to fix this?

    I have found that complicated document structures causes Word to split the document into parts, but I've always gotten the whole thing, in multiple documents.
    However, with two pages, I can't imagine it is that complicated.
    Any odd fonts or paragraph styles?

  • Je veux convertir un document pdf en word, texte en anglais. Texte illisible. Comment faire ?

    je veux convertir un document pdf en word, texte en anglais. Le texte est illisible. Il reprend quelques passages en anglais et le reste est fait de signes très bizarres.
    Comment arriver à un résultat correct ?
    merci d'avance pour votre aide.

    Si el texto del PDF no se puede leer, probablemente está escrito en una fuente que no está en tu sistema. Si es así, no se me ocurre qué puedas hacer, excepto instalar la(s) fu7entes faltantes, o pedir al autor del PDF una nueva copia con las fuentes debidamente incrustadas.

  • How do I search a word document stored in a BLOB using PHP?

    I have been successful at saving files in a blob field using oracle.
    I need to search through the word document, how can I do it using PHP?
    Please help!

    You're going to want to look at the Text Application Developer's guide.

    http://otn.oracle.com/pls/db10g/db10g.show_toc?partno=b10729&remark=drilldown&word=text+application+developer%27s+guide
    Give this a read and it'll give you what you need in order to search CLOB and BLOB fields for text data.
    It all works around a particular type of index which is then referenced using a CONTAINS clause in your SQL... eg:
    SELECT id FROM documents WHERE CONTAINS( document_body, 'Oracle' ) > 0
    Once you've got your head around the basic priniciples you're going to want to look at the document filters. This should allow you to index MS Word documents (warning: I've never used this for Word).
    It's not something that you can just pick up from reading a 20 line reply on a forum, but it sounds like what you're looking for.
    We use it here in order to look up on HTML documents, and it works a treat. We converted our Word documents to HTML so we could mark them up and then display them inline on pages.
    We wrap up the SQL that actually does the CONTAINS clause in a PL-SQL function, but I don't image there's a problem issuing a CONTAINS over OCI. Let me know if it works!
    Might this be an option for you?

  • Hyperlink problem when converting Word to PDF

    Hi everyone.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard version 7.1.4 on a Windows 2000 environment.
    I am using Word XP/2002 SP3.
    I have a couple of problems when converting Word to PDF.
    When converting a long link which is in 2 lines, PDF just takes one line into account, not considering the whole link
    When I have hyperlinks that links to a web page, the link works fine in Word but in pdf, it gets the few words after the url address making the link not work.  For example.  I have a hyperlink that http://www.google.com/ and after this I have the words: "This is a sample text".  The hyperlink in pdf would then become http://www.google.comThisisasampletext
    Do you have any ideas how I can correct this?
    Thanks.

    To get the cross references, you have to use Convert to PDF (PDF Maker part of the Acrobat product). However, you first need to go to the print menu and set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Close the print menu and then do a reflow and link update of the document (ctrl-A, then F9 I think). This is needed to get the links correct since WORD reflows the document based on the printer (problem with them going to the wrong place).
    Printing to the Adobe PDF printer (the step of print to file is not needed, just print to the printer and the rest is automatic) does not include the links. PDF Maker is a PreProcessor for the Adobe PDF printer that adds PDF Marks to the PS file before it is sent to Distiller (OK, the printer when used normally creates a PS file and then invokes Distiller to complete the process - your steps did with the Adobe PDF printer is the same process done manually).
    Summary:
    1. Fix document after setting the printer to Adobe PDF.
    2. Use PDF Maker (create PDF button)

  • Trouble converting Word to PDF

    I have been using acrobat.com to convert word documents into PDF without a problem for about a month.  All of a sudden, today, when I tried to convert a Word document, it stalled and was "converting" for a very long time and would not ultimately convert.  Can someone please walk me through correcting this problem?  Thank you.

    It's like that the problem lies with either your internet connection OR the Acrobat.com service. If you have verified that your internet connection is strong, we suggest that you wait a while and then try again. Depending on the size of the file (the limit is 200 MB) and the number of other users currently using the service, there are intermittent interruptions/slowness on Acrobat.com that could cause the delay.
