Converting wpd file extension to pdf

I just purchased Acrobat 9 Standard.  Let me first say... I have never used this product, so hopefully no one gets frustrated with me.  I'm learning.
I have probably 200 forms in WordPerfect [wpd] format that I want to convert to pdf, but when I attemp to open the document I get this message:
"Acrobat could not open 'name of the file.wpd' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).  To creat an Adobe PDF document, go to the sourse application.  The print the document to Adobe PDF".
I have used these files for years.  I am not sure what this means?  Someone please help.  I hope I didn't waste my money on software that can not do what I need it to do.  Oh yeah, if I convert the wpd file to doc I will open up in Acrobat and convert, but it messes up the format, margins, etc. of most of my documents.

Have to admit I really did not understand that error message, but you telling me to just follow those 2 sentences was very helpful.  I opened the wpd in WordPerfect, selected File>Publish To>PDF and it automatically saved it in my folder directory.  Thanks a lot.  Later today I will be asking how to convert files to fillable files and/or creating a new fillable form.

  • Can I convert a file into a PDF in Adobe Reader and automatically attach it in the Reader?

    I understand that I can merge files online.  What I'd like to do is have my original PDF open and convert an Excel sheet into a PDF that is attached to the original PDF within Reader.  Being able to do all of this in one place is the main reason I'm subscribing.

    HI Elizabeth,
    Yes, you are correct that merging can only happen online however if you are trying to achieve all the three task togather then i would recommend you to purchase the complete PDF solution Acrobat Professional.
    You can achieve this task with the feature in Acrobat called as Action Wizard which create a batch sequence of all the three process. You just need to run the process and your job is done.
    For more information:

    unfortunately, with Adobe Reader it is not possible.
    Let me know if you have any other question.

  • Converted InDesign file for smaller .pdfs

    A year ago I created an InDesign file that, when I open it the words - 125%(converted), are added to the name of the file (after the .indd). You can't see - @125% (converted), in the file name when the file is closed.
    Does anyone know how I must have created this, "converted" file?

    It's been created with an older version, that's all. The text in the title is there to remind you.
    If you need to know what it was created with, open the document, hold Apple (presumably -- on the Windows vs it's Control), and select "About InDesign". There it shows the full document history.

  • I am using indesign cs5. I am designing a document.  In this document, there are double speech marks. When I convert the file to a PDF, the speech marks appear as TM symbols! Huh? What's going on!?

    I'm seeing quotation marks here, but not necessarily the correct ones (I'm quite sure the single quotes around ESI in the payment form are incorrect).
    As I suspected, there are fonts that are not embedded -- the DIN Medium and Bold. According to Find Font in ID, these are version 1.0 and TrueType, so most likely very old and lacking the permission bit that ID looks for when embedding. The italic versions appear to be embedded, but for versioning they say Macromedia Fontographer, so I think they are home-brew. You should consider buying a current OpenType version.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro converting multimedia files in PDF Portfolio

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and it says that it can convert multimedia files in a PDF portfolio
    but when I try to convert wmv files in gives me a conversion error. The user's guide clearly outlines that this program can convert multimedia files - MOV, AVI and WMV files to PDF files within a PDF Portfolio. Am I missing something? Why won't this work?

    You have not indicated what version of AA9 or OS you have. The current version is 9.5.5. You can do updates from the Help menu usually. If that fails, download updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install them in order.

  • Convert multiple files (word docs) to multiple pdf

    Hi,
    Is there a script I can use in batch processing to convert about 1500 word documents into pdf? I know it's possible to convert multiple files into one pdf, but this is no good to me. Doing these conversions one by one is going to take forever!
    I've tried selecting a few documents at a time and then selecting "convert to pdf" from the right-click menu, but each one requires that you tell it where to save, and then opens the file when it is done.
    I need to convert Word files on a regular basis for work, and could really use a batch process for this with so many to do!
    I have Acrobat 7 Pro (version 7.1.0) on XP Pro SP 2 at work, and Acrobat 8 Pro (Version 8.1.2) on XP Pro SP 3 at home.
    If there is anyway it's possible to do this via a batch process I would really appreciate knowing how!!
    Apologies if this has been covered in another thread, I searched but couldn't find anything.
    Thanks in advance :)

    I have Acrobat 9 Pro. I can batch convert Word docs to PDFs by doing this:
    1. Open Acrobat Pro. Click File > Create PDF > Batch Create Multiple Files...
    2. A window will open prompting you to add files. Click Add Files > Add Files... OR Add Folders... If adding a folder, navigate to it, and click OK to add it to the list. You can also select a bunch of files and drag & drop them into the Add Files window.
    3. Once you have all the files listed that you want to convert, click OK. A new window called Output Options will open. In this window, select your preferred settings. For me, I want all the new PDFs to have the same filename and be in the same folder as the Word docs, so I choose these settings:
    4. Click OK, and then the batch process will begin running. You will see Word opening and closing. However, you won't have to click Save or anything. You can run it unattended. The process takes a little while, so I usually set up a batch to run, then go to lunch. Once finished, you should have all your new PDFs:
    Hope that helps someone!

  • I am using Adobe Reader with paid up service through May 2015.  When I attempt to convert a file from PDF or to PDF, I get the message "An error occured while trying to access the service.  What do I need to do to access the service paid for?

    I am using Adobe Reader with paid up service through May 2015.  When I attempt to convert a file either to PDF or from PDF, I get the error message, "An error occurred while trying to access the service".  What do I need to do to get access to the service I have paid for?

    Hi DeaconTomColorado,
    Please see "Error occurred when trying to access this service" when logging on to Acrobat.com.
    Adobe has just released an update to Adobe Reader, so if you're accessing the service via Reader, please let us know whether the update helps resolve the issue.

  • Converting .ps file to PDF/X-1a:2001 format

    Can I convert .ps files to the PDF/X-1a:2001 format that is required by a widely used book printer?

    Hi Tom,
    I'm sorry for the delayed reponse. Acrobat.com is certainly capable of converting .ps (Adobe PostScript) files to PDF; for a complete list of supported filetypes, please refer to this page: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/524/cpsid_52456.html#Create%20PDF
    The Create PDF service offered at Acrobat.com is available in two capacities: with a free Acrobat.com account, you may convert up to 5 files to PDF; for unlimited PDF conversions, you would wamt to subscribe for a monthly rate of either $14.99 or $39.00, depending on which other features of Acrobat.com you would want to take advantage of (e.g. an online meeting space in ConnectNow with a capacity of 5 or 20 participants; the free account allows you to invite two additional people to your meeting room).
    For more information on Acrobat.com's features and capabilities, see this page: https://acrobat.com/features_online_workspaces.html
    I hope this helps clarify the issue. Please let me know if I misunderstood your question or if you need more information.

  • Sending PO via email with pdf file extension

    Good afternoon everyone. We are successfully (in testing) sending out Purchase Orders via External Send to an Outlook email address.  When the user receives the email, it appears that SAPConnect (SCOT) is correctly coverting the file to a pdf (I can open it in Adobe Acrobat), yet the file attachment still shows a ".dat" file extension.
    Where in the process do I need to set up SAP not to send the file out with a .dat file extension (in PDF format), but rather with a .pdf file extension (in PDF format).
    Points awarded for good suggestions/comments

    You can use Transaction SCOT to trigger the output manually. The prerequisite for a correct sending is that the node is set correctly.
    To be able to display, for example, the e-mail in Outlook, enter PDF as the format in the node.

    Ashok
