Create PDF from a Word document within Acrobat

Hi!
I am having trouble to create a PDF from a Word document within Acrobat itself, and not by using PDF Maker in Word. When I try to create a PDF using Acrobat, it gives me the choice to choose any Office format file, but Word format doesn't appear. I can convert from an Excel document or a PowerPoint document, but not from a Word document, even if Word 2010 is installed and works perferctly. Why?
I know I can make a PDF in Word itself by printing to the Adobe PDF printer or by using PDF Maker, but I want to resolve the issue in Acrobat that prevents me to select a Word document in the Create PDF dialog window. You can see the dialog box in the screenshot attached.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am using Acrobat X version 10.1.8 on Windows 7 Home Premium and I have Office 2010 installed (with Word 2010).

Thanks for your reply. PDF Maker works in all of my Office applications. However, in Acrobat, the file formats available for me to create PDF from figure all the Office file formats except the one for Word. This is not normal. At my school, Acrobat X and Office 2007 are installed, and I can use there both PDF Maker in Word and creating PDF from Word document within Acrobat.
So I think maybe there's a key in my Windows registry that is not set correctly? or something like that. I repaired the installation of Office 2010, and I did so for Acrobat X too, but it doesn't help. Any idea of how I can resolve that?

Some pictures are removed while creating pdf from MS word

Hi
I have some problems with creating PDF from MS word 2007 file.
I'm using Acrobat X pro and MS office 2007. My system is windows XP Pro SP3.
I'm making some documents including many tables and figures. They're created and modified in MS word and when I publish them, I have to convert them in PDF files.
At first, the body of the document and figures are separated. I converted them individually and insert the figure pdf files to the body pdf files.
One day, my boss wanted to combine the seperated word file into one file and I did it. There was no problem before I created PDF file.
There are sample of the PDF.
This is a part of missing picture. After conversion, another parts are unseen and I can find only this part.
Sorry that I can't reveal all parts of picture.
As you see up there, a little part of whole pictures are found (but they are reversed) and another pictures are just missing.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

I don't know about the PC version but in the Mac version if you don't have drawing objects checked in Print and
in the view menus, when you print to PDF, the images won't be there.
I would assume there are the same settings in PC even if you Print to PDF printer or what other method available to PC.

I am trying to convert a PDF to a Word document using Acrobat Pro 9 but am unable to find "Content to edit" under tools. Do I need a newer version?

I am trying to convert a PDF to a Word document using Acrobat Pro 9 but am unable to find "Content to edit" under tools. Do I need a newer version?

Acrobat 9 Pro (not Standard) can export ("convert") PDF to Word, RTF, or other text formats.
Click-path: File - Export
Take your pick.
With install of Acrobat 9 the Help PDF is installed also.
From the this PDF's Bookmarks expand Chapter 5's bookmark and select "Convert PDFs to Word".

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

How to creat pdf from microsoft word

How do I edit pdf files

You don't. Thats why they are saved as .pdf files to prevent changes.
You can create PDF files form Word on windows, by printing to a PDF Virtual Printer (you can google this).
You can create PDF files on a Mac by selecting Print, then clicking PDF on the print screen.
You can create PDFs on an iOS device with a third party app like 'PDF Printer for iPhone'

I'm using Acrobat 8 Standard on my PC Windows 8 machine. Suddenly, I can't create PDF from MS Word 2007.

When I attempt to create a PDF from a MS Word document, I get the following message: "Unable to Acrobat PDF files. Acrbat PDF Maker. You must have administrator priveleges to install these files. Please contact your local system administrator."
I am the administrator off all programs on my PC..
Please help.

There is no "update to Windows 8" available for the Acrobat 8 product family.
The updates at the ftp site are those for Acrobat 8.x but, again, they Do NOT Update Acrobat 8.x to be compatible with Windows 8.

Can't create PDF from MS word 2007 Doc

I am using CS3 Acrobat Pro 8.2 and I can't get a Word doc to PDF. It starts but then just stops at about 10%. I have tried importing from Acrobat and just get an error message stating "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
Anyone have any ideas as to what may be the problem?

Bill, when using Word or any other MS office app, the process begins the conversion then just stops about 10-15% of the way and the process window disappears. No error message, nothing. It just stops. Now, I can save items as a "Quick and Simple PDF" but not as a "Fully functional PDF" when saving from Word. So I have narrowed it down that far. The screen shot below was created in Word and saved as a Quick and Simple PDF from Word.
When trying to use the Create PDF function from AA, I get an unexpected error message.

Creating pdf file to word document

I signed up for what i thought was a free trial but the trial evidentially is not free like it states. all tho, i did get the instructions i needed to perform the process of changing from PDF to word document. Now I go to the document and go to sign in and it wont let me type in the box for user name or password, even tho, Im signed in to the adobe site. I don't understand this as I see I am not the only one having problems getting this to work, I have tried now for over a week to get this one page to print out, and finally it did it and I don't know what I did to make it work, but I made 3 copies of this form the other day. Now today I'm trying again and still having the same problems that I was having the other day. I found out that you can get dropbox for free on your computer and if you can drag the document to the dropbox or the file name, it will also change the document for you into a word format to print out the form. Just would like to give out this information as it is very good at printing out pictures off you I phone and other devices also.

Hi ladyl123,

Batch create PDF from multiple InDesign documents

Is it possible to create PDF files from multiple InDesign documents, or is there perhaps a script that can do this?

Thanks for this script, it works wonderful.
It saved me a lot of time.

Adobe crashes to desktop when I try to create a PDF from a Word document.

The PDF does end up getting created, but not before crashing my Adobe to my desktop, or even crashing it to the background so I have to kill Adobe in the task manager in order to get it to start again. The progress bar used to fill up faster when it was working correctly, but now, the progress bar just slowly fills up under "Reading PDF Document" and then freezes.
I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64 on a Thinkpad T620.
Please help!

It's 9.4.
We are having multiple issues crop up on this system. Its MS Office and antivirus are both unstable, and a SQL server update has failed, so I am beginning to suspect that this issue may be a symptom of a bigger problem.

Not Creating a PDF from a Word Document

Error log say "
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
Cambria not found, using Courier.
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: show ]%%
Stack:
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Cambria is good looking font. There would other fonts too ...

Actually, there are two messages.
First, it doesn't find Cambria. As it says, it will substitute Courier. This may not be what is wanted, but it isn't an error.
Then, there is an invalidfont error. This could be unconnected, but most likely it means it cannot find Courier either and has to give up.
Usual causes:
1. messing with the Distiller font locations
2. messing with fonts
3. installing a font manager which messes with fonts.
Font managers need careful setup to stop them touching required fonts.

How to create pdf from a word doc that can be edited then turned into a form?

I am very new to Acrobat so try to be kind when responding with tech talk. I would like to make a template for property inspection complete with pictures, text and drop down lists. I would like it to be editable (add my pictures and notes and a date field) and still be able to be distributed. Basically a template form that I fill out, then distribute for another person to add comments and approve through check boxes. Thanks.

All of that is possible with a standard PDF form, except for the part about adding pictures if it has to work with Reader. It used to be possible, but they removed it. If the user will be using the full version of Acrobat (Standard or Pro), everything is available.
More information about creating forms is in the Acrobat help doc, and a number of forms-related tutorials are avialable at: http://www.acrobatusers.com
If you have specific questions, post again.
