Creating Links From Converted Word docs

i converted a Word docx document to HTML that is comprised of a set of docs that are linked together.
Consequently each section in the complete doc, (except the Title and Table of contents), actually becomes a modifiable JPG text box.
I have been trying to create links from the Table of Contents to the individual sections.
I have tried everything but I am missing some concept.  It's one of those things if I just see it once I'll slap myself over head fro not fiquring it out.
Anyone have an answer for me

I hate to burst your bubble, but Word docs are not suitable for web pages.  My advice is to PDF your docx.

  • Preserving HTML links when converting Word docs

    I created a document in MS Word for Mac 2011 (ver 14.5.2)
    When I used Adobe Pro 11 to convert the document into pdf format, all the HTML links are lost. 
    I have tried converting from MS Word, opening the word version with Adobe Pro, printing from MS Word to pdf.  Nothing works. Even opened the MS Word document using Apple's Pages software, re-formatted and then converted to pdf.  Still no live links.
    Best work around so far is to convert and then use the edit feature in Adobe Pro to re-insert the HTML links as invisible rectangles on top of the still-blue-and- underlined text.  So to the user it looks like the html links are still live, but what a pain for editor.
    I have seen this issue raised in other posts, but none of the answers seem to work. And the work around described above is clearly less than ideal.
    Very curious, as reading other posts, the issue apparently does not arise when the word doc converted from a Wintel computer.  But I can't imagine Adobe writes software one way for Intel and another for Mac.

    Imagine it. this has been 15 year fued between Microsoft and Adobe.  Adobe Claims that Mac office doesn't hav ethe proper hooks for URLs. Microsoft says the fault is with adobe.
    Since a Word Created file will work when opened in the windows version  and saved as a PDF, the links work just fine. Just opening and not saving, but converted to Pdf does nothing to the actual Word File.
    They had it fixed last year  in Acrobat X if your dropped the file on to Acroabt directly. But broke it again with the upgrade to XI.
    IF you have iWork and Open the word file in Pages then exported as a Word.docx file then create The PDF the links will become active.  Also if you Open in OpenOffice and export as docx file the resulting PDF when open in Word and PDF is Created the links will become active.
    If you have neither you will have to open the PDF and add the links. Note the Links will be hot (active) but the links will not turn Blue and  be Underlined
    Mac Office2011 is a Conversion of Office2010/2007 code.  So there should be no pproblem.
    Also Don't use the Save As . . .  PDF Method. Instead go to Print Menu  click on PDF wait for context menu > the choos Adobe Quality PDF or Adobe PDF (uses Adobe's PDF engine).
    wait for next screen that shows qualtity leave as sent unles you need specific job options. click okay then next screen File name. Rename as necessary the browser to desired to location then click save.  Or you can drop the saved Word document (with Word quit.) on to Acrobat and after a minute or so the PDF will be created. (Using this method in AcrobatX would actully show URL s or Mailtos as active - They broke this in Acrobat XI PDF still can be created but hot links no longer work).
    Well it seems it does work on occasion  see: http://www.screencast.com/t/cib2kcYG

  • Trouble creating a pdf converting Word doc ..."Could not find the application that created the file"

    Hello,
    I am working with Acrobat Pro 8 and am trying to create a pdf by converting a word doc. When I try that, I keep getting an error message, " Could not find the application that created this file...please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer." I can always convert a word into pdf first and then insert it into the pdf project that I am working on, however I have multiple files and I really would like to bypass that long step.
    I found another thread in this forum which talks about a simillar issue (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/429585).I tried the solution suggested there by Bill@vt regarding the print menu. I am not really sure if t have distiller installed, so I tried opening it in acrobat, but it failed. During the process, I got the follwing message "Check the Status column for a list of files that could not be printed".I do not have any clue how to check for AcroTray running in the background.
    I would really appreciate any help.
    Thanks!

    If Distiller failed to open, it sounds like you need to do a repair of your Acrobat installation. Have not heard that one before!

  • 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.

  • I created a pdf form from a Word doc with 9 pt aerial font formatting; the text on the pdf form is aerial 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - How do I reformat the font in the fields??

    I created a pdf form from a Word doc with 9 pt aerial font formatting; the text on the pdf form is aerial 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - How do I reformat the font in the fields??

    You can set up a temporary button (or link, bookmark, etc.) and add the following JavaScript action:
    // Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)
    // Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document
    for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {
        var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
        if (f.type === "text") {
            f.textFont = font.Helv;
            f.textSize = 9;
    It also sets the font size, but you can remove that line if you don't need to do that.

  • 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
    -Alex

  • Creating a link to a word doc

    I'm having trouble creating a link to a word doc on my computer.
    I select "enable as hyperlink" and then "Link to file".
    I select the the word doc on my computer. It didn't create a link to the file.
    Hmmmm... then I tried it with a pdf. Still no link.
    Do I need to have a pdf ? The document was created with microsoft word.
    However I also tried it with an old Adobe pdf file.. still no go.
    Any thoughts? I'm using an old version of iWeb 1.1.2
    Thanks.

    That should work too.
    NOTE: Links to files aren't testable within iWeb — they become active when published and viewed in a browser.
    An alternative approach is to post MS Word docs (or PDFs) to the free Posterous where they'll be automatically presented in a convenient viewer, e.g.
    http://dont-panic.posterous.com/pdf-document-example
    ...Then in iWeb set up a simple text or image hyperlink to that particular Posterous blog entry.

  • 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).

  • Problem converting word doc into pdf

    I've just installed adobe acrobat 6.0 onto my laptop
    . Whenever I try to create a pdf file from a word doc it says there is a problem and will have to run in repair mode/ It then goes through the 'retrieving required info' instructs to restart the computer. Once Ihave done that though and retry, it does exactly the same thing.

    There is an easy and effective way to convert word to PDF through Microsoft word 2007. You can download Microsoft Save As PDF add-in from Microsoft.com.
    Also a newly release one Office 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) has built-in the add-in.
    1. Start Microsoft Word 2007
    2. Open a .DOC document and edit
    3. Select from main menu “Office button”->”Save As”
    4. Select “adobe PDF”.
    More you can refer this column of PDF Converter, which includes some tutorials about converting PDF to other files.
    Glad that you got it working.

  • Link to a Word doc in a PDF is not opening the doc in Internet Exlorer 8

    I have a PDF created in Acrobat 9 Pro, I have given a link to a word doc. The PDF and link is working perfectly on browsers other than Internet Explorer 8.
    In IE-8 Even if allow to open the doc when prompted, nothing happens.
    How can I fix this?

    Dropbox has a convenient feature to preview DOC files as PDFs in Firefox's built-in PDF viewer. It's convenient but can lead to this problem that you end up downloading the document as a PDF instead of a DOC file.
    As long as the recipient uses the Download button on Dropbox's toolbar above the viewer (see attached screen shot comparison), the recipient should get the original format instead of the preview.
    Is that the issue?
    (See also the past thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/967837 firefox is reading word files as pdf's when I download them from DropBox.com])

  • "Create links from URLs" preference no longer working in sticky notes

    I work with reading other people's sticky notes in Adobe Acrobat X Pro (now version 10.1.1). When they wrote URLs in the sticky notes it used to recognize them as links; now they're just plain text. My Preferences > General > "Create links from URLs" option is checked ON. I aso tried View > Tools > Document Processing > "create Links from URLs" and it added two links but only outside of the sticky notes. I am on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Thanks.

    AFAIK, URLs inside annotations were never converted into actual links. I'm not even sure it's technically possible to do so.
    It might have happened if the annotations were flattened and the text in them became a part of the static text of the PDF. Then the URLs in it could have been converted into "live" links, but not before.

  • 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.
