Creating a PDF inside of Word

When I create a PDF inside of Word Doc and save it to my desktop it looks just like another Word Doc so what am I doing wrong?
It should look like a PDF Cion not a Word Doc right?

Icons don't matter. What actually is it? Can you open it with Adobe Reader? (Don't double click! That's a timesaver, but not a test).

Creating a pdf from a word doc and the image and footer will not show

I am trying to create a pdf from a word doc that has an image and footer. Neither will show in the pdf. Also getting this message "Adobe Acrobat Updater has not been able to check for updates recently. Check online to see if solutions are available from the Adobe website." My Cloud says it is updated.

What was the Original?
If it was from Word, chances are the top and bottom Margins were set too narrow. (should not be less than .5 inches even more safety 1" would be better). As for graphics. Check in Word preferences (may be called different in a windows machine) make sure in view and Print settings "Graphics" is checked (show Graphics and Print Graphics).

Created a pdf from a word-file and inserted formfields. The fields works in other pdf-readers(nitro,reader etc), but not in adobe reader and acrobat. Please help.

Hi,
I have created a pdf from a word-file and inserted formfields for a work related file. I've used nitro pro to create the formfield. They works in nitro, reader, foxit etc. but not adobe reader. From page 3 and out, the font wont show when writing in a formfield. Some formfield doesnt even show.
Please help me fix this (hopefully before the presentation at work friday) :-)

Agreed. Adobe makes no claims that their Reader will work properly with forms made from third party software.

Font changes when i try to create a pdf from a word doc

I am trying to create a pdf from a word doc. I have tried multiple times and each time i do the font i used in the word doc gets changed on the pdf

This seems to be a common problem... this is not the first time I have seen this. Unless it is a general system font, such as Arial, then it seems not to convert too well.
So, if it doesn't matter what font, then just change the font.
Hopefully, Adobe fixes this in the next year. xD
Good luck

Can't create a pdf from a Word docx

I downloaded the trial version of acrobat pro dc but it will not allow me to create a pdf. it says to use the print to pdf option but that is not available. i reinstalled it but that did not fix it.

Hi Rahul, please see my answers below:
Are you using 64bit version of office 2010? - 32bit version
Are you able to convert any other file type into pdf format? - jpgs convert to pdf but no other Office file type will
Also, Do you see any 'convert to Adobe pdf' option when you right click a .docx file? - yes the options are there when I right-click but I get a message saying: "Unable to find "Adobe PDF" Printer or "Acrobat Distiller" printer.

Problems creating a PDF file w/ Word 2000 + Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

Hi all,
we have a problem with some of our word files. When trying to create a PDF file w/ Word 2000 and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional by pressing on the Acrobat button in Word, sometimes the PDF distiller gets stuck and doesn't create a PDF file. When pressing <Alt>+<F9> we see that the file is overcrowded with fields, e.g.:
{PRINT \p para "[ /EMC pdfmark [ /StPop pdfmark"} { PRINT \p para "[ /EMC pdfmark [ /StPop pdfmark" }
{ PRINT \p para "[ /Subtype /P /StPNE pdfmark" } { PRINT \p para "[ /StBMC pdfmark" ] { PRINT \p para "[ /Subtype /P /Title () /StPNE pdfmark}
etc.
When deleting all of these fields it is possible to create a PDF file (which is quite a nuisance). Does anybody know what these fields mean and esp. what can be done to stop Word/Acrobat writing the text felds into our documents?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Chris

All of the marks are created to provide the tags and other items related to bookmarks, links, and accessibility. Sometimes there is a problem if your TEMP folder does not have enough room. You get these when you use PDF Maker (the create PDF icon in WORD). You can select the preferences in PDF Maker and deselect a lot of the items, particularly tags that tend to bloat the PDF but are useful for accessibility or going back to WORD (you should always keep the WORD file anyway). That may solve the problem. If you do not want any of the extra info, then print to the Adobe PDF printer instead.

It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.

Create one pdf from excel, word, and pdf files

I'm trying to create a single document to distribute (digitally and printable) for a meeting.
And I'm an Acrobat Pro beginner. :-(
The files to be included are in pdf, MS Word and MS Excel.
What is the best way to do this?
I don't know if I use Portfolio which I tried but then each file apparently needs to be Extracted to be viewed. Not what I want. I want series of files separated by a heading.
Maybe I need to convert all files first to pdf and then combine in one pdf file but maybe there is a simpler way.
Appreciate any tips from the experts.
Thank you.

Can no longer create a PDF from a Word file!

Any idea what this is about? My PDF/Adobe Printer is also suddenly gone. I don't use it that much but now I can't use it at all! I assume this is a forum for Acrobat X. I thought I'd try reinstalling but I can't figure out how. I know that sounds stupid--and it is. But I have spent 45 minutes poking around the Adobe website trying to figure out where I can find the download--I upgraded from an earlier version online.. I have only been using X for a year or so. (This product is hard to love and not cheap either)

Thanks! Repair failed. I had to call their tech support and eventually was told to reinstall. WIth the tech the entire process took onlky about an hour and a half (yes, that long!). Since I had upgraded to Acrobat X Pro a year ago I fortunately kept a record of the saerial number for the prior version. Near the end the tech hung up on me when I complained about always having to keep records of prior versions.
I had the revolutionary--and obviously unacceptable--idea that once you buy the upgrade THAT ought to be the end of things. Why at each reinstall the darned software would search for a prior version--which wouldn't be there anyway, particularly since the older version was on my old computer which I sent to recycling last summer, is a mystery. It strikes me as a form of harassment since I didn't spring for the full price in lieu of the upgrade. User-friendly is not a term I would use to describe my years of experience with Adobe. Even the website is frustrating. In the process of this reinstall I was promised some sort of gift from Adobe for filling out some profile information. I'm not holding my breath waiting to find out what my prize will be and whetgher it was worth another few frustrating minutes! And I have not mentioned the near-inscrutability of the program itself. What, for example, is "preflight" supposed to mean when it has no connection to air travel? And "workflow?" Whazzat? Well as long as I can create PDF files, add or delete pages, add footers/headers, add some typed text and struggle with redacting that's all I have time to manage. Don't get me started. Even my screen name here--it was supposed to have been updated, too--was what I entered a few years ago in a fit of rage in trying to register for this forum (runuz: "Are you nuts?")

Having issues created a .pdf from a Word .doc.

I tried converting a Word doc today, and was given the error "Missing PDF file maker. Do you want to run this in repair mode? I click yes, it scans (for several minutes) then no document. A document icon appears on the opening page, yet when you click on it, it says: ERROR – this document cannot be found."
I tried two other documents I scanned into PDF files – both from excel sheets – no problem. Since this was installed I haven't had any issues until recently. I cannot think of anything that has changed since then.
Is it possible this is a problem with Word?

Well I'm having the same issue. Right now I have a very simple, one page Word doc I want to PDF before emailing. I hit print, chose PDF, picked where I wanted to save file, then . . . Adobe starts to open Word - but only the "title page" comes up and hangs for . . . ever. Adobe says "Please wait, reading PDF file . . . ".
When I open Task Manager - it shows both Word and Adobe PDF as running.
I checked for updates. I can't think of what to do next?
I can chose Adobe PDF in my print menu, I have new laptop running Windows 7 and Microsoft Home Premiere 2010.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm doing a 'favor' for my mother's friend, now both of them are calling wondering what is taking me so long : }

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.
