Converting Word to pdf - Text in "Pictures" corrupted

When I convert a Word (ver 10 SP3) document with a graphic "picture" which contains both graphics and text to .pdf format with Acrobat 9 Pro the graphics convert fine but the text in the picture becomes very large and moves outside of the picture. The same problem occurred when I had Acrobat 5 on my system.
A colleague with Acrobat 9 Pro converted one of my .doc files and it converted fine on his system. He feels that something is wrong with the PDF driver, Word, or Acrobat. Where do I start tracing down this problem?
I can post the source and resulting .pdf files, but I don't know how to do that in this forum.

I am not sure which version of WORD is ver 10. You may want to update WORD. Word does have some problems along this line. The new DOCX version even does some games with graphics that deletes the font in vector graphics apparently.

Converting Word to PDF: text doesn't show on top of image

I have a word 2013 document with text on top of an image. When I convert to PDF with Acrobat Standard XI the image covers the text.
Here is the page in Word:
and here in Acrobat:
Any help would be appreciated!

I have only used Acrobat Pro, not Standard. Does Standard have a Content Pane? If so, I would try selecting each content element on the page till I found the image, and drag it above the text elements in the content order.
Hope this helps.

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)

Word keeps stoping in the middle of converting word to PDF

I have a windows 7 desktop with office 2013 and adobe XI STD, every time i try to convert word to PDF or convert PDF to Tiff, my word stops working

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 I ran it in administrator it converted fine, so I though maybe permissions, check them and add the user onto the adobe folder, still did not work?????

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!

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

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?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Looks like a configuration issue. Please re run the configuration manager. Also test the PDFG conversion in adminui.

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 numb

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.

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...

When forwarding Word or PDF Files they get corrupted

I have several users that when they forward either a word document of a pdf file they get corrupted. If I forward directly from Outlook (2007) they are perfectly fine.
Anybody know what is happening? We tend to send a lot of word/pdf files.
Thanks

Okay, let me be specific here.
I have:
Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2 fully installed and licensed to this computer.
I also have an older version of Robohelp 7 installed.
Both have all the updates done.
The machine also has:
MS Office 2003
and the updated Adobe Distiller program.
What I want to do is to "print" - IE, generate - a Word document version AND a PDF version of my current Robohelp 8 project.
(Ignore this part, because this is not the issue. The generation of the files is the issue. Nothing else. The block, and the problem is that I cannot get Word or PDF files to generate from Robohelp 8.)
What I will do with this is convert the Word doc BACK to Robohelp 7, AND import the Word doc in FrameMaker.
(But again, we do not care about what I'm going to do with the files. The end result is not important. What is important, again, is:)
I cannot "print" - IE, generate, a Word document AND/OR a PDF version of my current Robohelp 8 project from the generate dialogue box.
I'm hoping that this clarifies the issue, since there are no add-ons to what I'm trying to do here. I'm not dancing the angels around the head of the legacy pin, I'm not trying to open a R8 in R7, I'm not trying to cure cancer or shoot a bulls-eye at 1,200 feet.
I am trying to "print", IE, generate, a Word document OR a PDF from my current Robohelp 8 environment and cannot do so.
(Sorry for the excessive description, but it looked like we were branching off into realms that weren't the problem at all.)
In response to Peter - I did try a sample project, and the same issue occurs. When I click "Printed Documentation" in either of the projects, a popup comes up that says "Parameter is Incorrect". This is an unmodified item that I'm opening - stock off the installation.
