Converting Word to PDF-don't link web addresses

I'm trying to convert a word doc to a pdf using Acrobat XI Standard. The word doc has a hyperlink in one spot and a web address typed out in another spot. The goal I'm looking for is to have the hyperlink carry over into the pdf, and the typed out web address to be non-clickable. The hyperlink does carry over, but the typed out web address is also hyperlinking, but without the hyperlink box. How do I get the pdf to not link the typed out web address? There is no hyperlink box to delete.
Thanks!

That's a setting of the application. You can disable it under Edit - Preferences - General - Create links from URLs.

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)

May I know is this happening with all files or with a specific file?
Would you send your PDF document to [email protected] as an email attachment?
I will check it from my end.Please add the link to this forum post for reference.

Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file??

Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file?? I have no idea where it is!! Extremely frustrating and not at all user friendly!! Took my 6.99 British pounds and not a sausage to be had!!

It sounds like you may have purchased a CreatePDF subscription through safari, using our web interface. If this is the case, the good news is that subscription will also work with the (free) Adobe Reader. Simply install the Reader from the App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
Once installed, you can then use "Open In" from another app like Mail to open the Word document in Adobe Reader. Reader will show the word doc, but it will also show you a message pointing to the "convert" button (A document with an arrow through it in the toolbar). Pressing this button should prompt you to sign into Acrobat.com. Use the same account you used to purchase your subscription and Reader will upload the word document for conversion, placing it in the Acrobat.com and Outbox section of the Reader. Please let me know if you have trouble!

I have reinstalled the Adobe and did several repairs, then added adobe reader. when that did not work I reinstalled the Microsoft office 2013, still did not work.

When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

The original file is 32 MB:
15 MB is images
15 MB is Content stream
2 MB is everything else
After the PDF/A-1B save as:
The file is 182 MB
Almost 100% is Images
It is an architecture portfolio with many complex images. Is there a setting when I change to PDF/A that can limit the growth of the image files?

Not converting word to pdf

I installed adobe acrobat 5.0 on window 2000 server but its not converting word to pdf when I click by toolbal button system hangs.

AA5 is not licensed for use in the server mode. As long as Acrobat is not available for use off the server, only local use, you should be OK. Try to print from WORD to the Acrobat Distiller printer. If that does not work, then try printing to file. If that works, then open the file in Distiller to see if you get a PDF. If you do, then AcroTray is not running. It may be that AcroTray will not run properly on W 2000 Server. As I recall, some folks tried with the 2003 server and had problems.

When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the number pages start from the second page.How to keep the original format?

Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.

Hey
i suggest if you are using SharePoint server 2013 and you have Office Web Apps available in your farm, then this feature will be there out-of-the-box without using any code.

Acrobat 9.5.5 Converting word to PDF

Hello All,
I am having a strange issue on a users machine. When they create a folder and rename it, then put a word document they want into that folder, they are unable to right click and use the "Convert to Adobe PDF" button. What happens is the first time they click "Convert to Adobe PDF" it opens Microsoft Word and the Adobe PDF Status box appears but then closes leaving the document open in Word. If you close the Word document, then try to click "Convert to Adobe PDF" again it works the second time. It is strange because it only happens when you do it in a folder and not on the desktop.
I looked through the event logs to see if there was anything that seemed out of place. The only thing I noticed is that when your right click the "Convert to Adobe PDF" button, the Adobe PDF Printer is set to default and the the regualr default printer is reset when the process is complete. It is almost as if it is not spooling properly.
Running Windows 7 64bit and Office 2010. I've tried repairing the install, running updates, adding and removing the printer but I am at a loss.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

Hi Bill,
Thanks for you response. The only issue with this is that all of the other installs are functioning properly. This "does" work but it needs to be done twice, it seems like once to load it into words temp directory, then close word print it again and then it converts to PDF.
Upgrading to the new one isn't really an option. Is there a way to do a standalone install of just the PDF Maker?

My Adobe XI software no longer converts Word to PDF files with hyperlinks or page layout preserved.

Is anyone else having the same problem where the initial installation worked fine and over time, you are no longer able to adjust the setting in the 'convert to PDF' menu for Word documents? I am now faced with Word documents that lose their hyperlinks on conversion and when there are changes in page orientation (e.g., portrait to landscape and back again), the software creates sub files for each kind of page layout. In a word, the software has become useless. What can I do to fix this?

In order to preserve links on Mac Word to PDF. You need to do as follows (note this only preserves links created by Word's auto Correct. Not by Word's URL Creator.)
Method #1
Create Document save as .docx as backup.
Go to File Menu > Print
Click and hold the PDF button, a Context menu appears.
Choose Adobe Quality PDF, or Adobe PDF (depends upon Version of Mac OS X)
First Choose quality (similar to Job Options in Distiller) and whether to open using Acrobat Or Reader.
Next a Title will appear. (in format "microsoft.nameoffle.docx.pdf").
You can leave file name as is or remove the Microsoft and the .docx from the Name
Save File.
This method also will print pdf, even if it has section and Page breaks except when there is orientation change from Portrait, or landscape.
Method #2
Do step 1 above.
Locate the file Created.
Drag the file either on top the actual Application or its Icon in the Dock.
Wait ......
When Acrobat opens Immediately save.
Again all links created with Auto-correct will be live.
And pages will be intact in the PDF except when there is a Change in orientation.
Auto correct will create links/URL's when you type such the will automatically turn blue and become underlined. And clicking on the in the word Document will go to the link.
What does not work until Adobe fixes a 10-15 year old bug is where you select word then go to Insert menu> URL. A window opens and you choose the link or email, in the URL Creator.
Also the Bug where changes in section, and pages breaks cause new PDF that have to be put together has not been completely cured. (Still splits when orientation changes.) Has been proved by Microsoft to be a Bug Adobe can't or won't fix. You simply take a Mac Word File open it in the PC version and create a PDF. And works perfect.
