Creating option (radio) buttons from Word to PDF (Acrobat Pro)

Hello,
I have a word document with form elements (from the form toolbar). After converting this file into a pdf with the acrobat pro add-in I make a interactive pdf with "form field recognition" (in German: "Formularfelderkennung ausführen") of the form menu.
So far so good.
But I want to use option buttons, too, not only checkboxes. In Word these option buttons are available only through the toolbar "control element toolbox" (in German: "Steuerelement-Toolbox"). But these elements are not recognized by the above mentioned Acrobat option.
So, how can I do this without creating these option buttons by hand in Acrobat Pro?
Thanks, Carlos

Is it a Designer or Acrobat created form?

Convert from Word 2007 to Acrobat Pro 9; bookmark issue

When converting from Word 2007 to PDF using Acrobat Pro 9, enabling "Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks", not only are Headings converted to bookmarks, but bulleted text (styles), as well. I attached the subsequent PDF, but this forum does not permit the document attachment. I really only want to show the Headings. (It may be noteworthy to mention that when using this same set of styles in Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro7 the conversion was seamless.)
Does anyone know how to correct this? I have reviewed my Word styles and the issue does not appear to be on the document level. Am I missing some obscure setting?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.
-PS

I had a similar situation occur when converting Word 2007 docs to Acrobat Pro 9 Extended via the PDFMaker (Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007), and I want to share a workaround. In summary, I had extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF (heading 3s, body text, XE Index tags, etc.) that I did not select to be in the PDF. I contacted Adobe's support and ended up talking for approx. 2.5 hrs to 2 different reps with no solution. They reproduced the issue on their end, but couldn't figure out how to fix this. I recently upgraded to Tech Comm Suite 2.5 from 1.0. The Word 2007 conversion to PDF via Acrobat Pro 8.x worked fine.
Scenario: I have 400-page user guides that I am required to publish as 'Press Quality' with navigable bookmarks to certain headings in the PDF. I have to generate the PDF via the Acrobat Add-On tab in Word, since I do not want to manually insert bookmarks in the PDF for 400 page documents (as you would when using the Adobe Print driver or 'Save As PDF' operation).
In the Adobe PDF Maker dialog, I have the following Application Settings selected in the General tab:
Create Bookmarks
Add Links
In the Bookmarks tab, I originally had only two Elements selected for bookmarks:
Heading 1 (a Word Heading already present) as the Level 1 Bookmark.
Table of Contents Bookmark (a Word Style I created) as the Level 2 Bookmark.
As a result, the Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks were both enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
The resulting PDF contained extraneous bookmarks that I did NOT select, such as Heading 2s, 3s, even body text - too much to clean up for 400-page documents! Additionally, and this was annoying too - I noticed that all bookmarks appeared as Level 1 Bookmarks, making the PDF Bookmarks really messy. I converted multiple Word 2007 documents with the same results.
How I resolved the issue:
In the Word 2007 document, open the Styles window, select all instances of the specific Word Heading (in my case, Heading 1). All instances of the selected Word Heading will be selected in the doc.
Click the New Style icon in the lower left part of the Styles window.
In the Create New Style from Formatting dialog, create a new style name (e.g., I created H1).
Just to be sure to NOT create the new style from an existing Word Heading, I selected (no style) in the Style Based On field.
Configure the remaining formatting items as necessary, and then click OK. All of the selected instances from the old Word Heading style are now changed to the new style created (in my case, H1).
Click the Preferences tab in the Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007, and open the Bookmarks tab.
Remove the old Word Heading (in my case, it was Heading 1) so it no longer will be included as a Bookmark in the PDF.
Select the new Word Style that you created (in my case, H1) to be generated as the Level 2 bookmark. Note: My original Level 1 bookmark, "TOC Bookmark," is still selected. Now, only the Convert Word Styles to Bookmarks is enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
Generate the PDF once again via the PDFMaker, and no extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF.
Note: I also noticed that when Index tags (XE tags) were present in an element selected to be a bookmark in the PDF (such as my new style, H1), they also appeared in the PDF Bookmarks pane. I just moved the XE tags down to the body text so they would no longer appear in the PDF.
Question for discussion: Maybe there is a bug in the PDFMaker when both Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks are selected? The extraneous bookmarks do not appear in my PDF when only Convert Word Styles is selected.

How to use .joboptions file while converting from Word to PDF

Hi,
I'm pretty new to Acrobat. I'm using Acrobat XI. I need to convert a word document to a PDF file which conforms to certain requirements described by a given .joboptions file. The .joboptions file can be opened by distiller, but as far as I know distiller is not invovled in the conversion (Word to PDF) process. So how can I make sure the converted PDF file meets the requirement described by the .joboptions file?

Distiller is used when converting from Word to PDF, if you do it via the Acrobat panel, not the Adobe PDF printer or Word's internal Export to PDF command. If you've loaded your joboptions file in Distiller (via Settings - Add Adobe PDF Settings), then you will see it in the drop-down of Conversion Settings when you click the Preferences button in the Acrobat panel in Word.
After you've selected your job options profile click the Create PDF button, and the file will be converted using the selected options.

Problems with tablesalignment (from Word to PDF)

Hello,
Ive downloaded the trialversion of Acrobat because our company needs to make little pdf's out of 40/50 documents and i want to try what program is best for our...
The thing is: i just cant get the tables right (sry for my bad english ) This problem exist with: Docx, doc, pdf, etc. etc.
When i have a table, with the upper standardscellsalignment set to 0,1 cm. The tables get messed up when i export it to an PDF. However, when i print it, its normal !!! (???)
The most upper horizontale lines are gone and the vertical connections arent any good.
I tried every setting, but i just cant seem to find whats wrong. I also tried 4 other programs, but same problems (also the standard saveoption in word: save word to pdf makes the same error.
There are 2 weird (part)-solutions: when i dissable the upper standard cell alignment in the table, so set to 0, and then save.... and the problem is gone (but i really need this upper cell alignment).
Other solution: When i dissable all the collours in the table, it is (almost) oke, but not completly. (but this isnt an option also)
I inserted some pictures to give you the full view:
Picture 1: on the left you see the result when i save it with word tot pdf acrobat, on the right you see the originaldocument.
Picture 2: An closeup of the problems with the lines.
Picture 3: The settings in Word, what is causing the problem
Thank you in advance!
Greetings, Coen
Select table, right mouse, tabble options --> options --> standard cell margin, uppercellmargin)

Hi Coen1413,
Is it possible for you to share your doc also from which you created the PDF?
Also please let us know your Office version and OS details.
Thanks,

Hyperlink from Word to PDF

Is it possible to make a link from a Word file to a specific page or part of a page in a PDF? I'm using Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro 7 on Windows XP SP2. If it makes a difference, I've got Acrobat Pro 9 here. Haven't installed it yet.
Ken

Do you mean that Office XP and later version can automatically convert the file link? No need to manually create the link in Acrobat using the link tool?
I will work this out to see whether ok or not.
By the way, thank you, Michael Kazlow.

Can i create conditional Radio Buttons?

I'm creating forms in Acrobat 9 Pro.
Does anyone know if it is possible to create conditional Radio Buttons that only need to be checked if a certain box or button from another group is checked?
For example: the first group of buttons might show the days of the week. If Tuesday was chosen a choice would need to be made from a further group of buttons (say a choice of time - 9am, 10am or 11am.). If any other day was chosen a different choice might be required or none at all.
I hope this is clear.

Here are other ways to share your library but it only works if you're both on the same network: Enable Home Sharing under iTunes/File Menu and read the iTunes Help entry for Home Sharing for additional info. It will allow up to 5 computers on your network to play and download items from your iTunes Library. Alternatively, you can enable "Share My Library On My Local Network" under iTunes Preferences which allows up to 5 computers to play any content in your library but without the ability to download them.
I assume you keep your iTunes Library synchronized on both computers. If you have it also on the MacBook, this Apple support document will explain how to share your iTunes Library with multiple users on the same computer. This is by far the easiest and always available without using the network.

Creating Post Script File from Word Document

Hi How to create a Ps File from Word document.. Is there any api to do this ?
~Arjun

(1) It is
PostScript, not
Post Script or
Ps!
(2) To create PostScript from a Microsoft Word document, you simply open such a document in Microsoft Word and print to a PostScript printer driver instance, but chose the
Print to file option. Note that since PostScript from drivers is device-dependent, you do need to choose a PostScript printer driver instance very carefully based on a PPD that has few device dependencies.

Option ( Radio button or check box) on selection - screen , to go to CNR2

<b>Subject - Option ( Radio button or check box) on selection - screen , to go to Tcode CNR2</b>
Hi all,
      I have developed a report   , which has a selection screen with one select-option , where i enter employee number     and two radio buttons   , one is for all workcentres and other one   for active workcentre.   so when i enter employee number and choose either of the radio button i wil get the output properly. the output   displays , employee no, employee name , work centre and project of that employee .   an employee may have many workcentres   and   a corresponding project for that work centre.
Now the Problem is , from the same   report i need to add a option on the selection -screen , ( plz tell me whether to use radio button or check box   and if it is radio button    should i use it seperately or group it in the above two buttons.) .
so that when user selects the option   , the control should go to transaction code CNR2, from where i can enter workcentre and   in the next screen i have HR assigntment tab , after choosing that it will dsplay persons   linked to the workcentre and there is a delete icon , from where i can delete the person.
The only thing is now to move / Navigate to the screen   or go to transaction code CNR2   from the report or from the selection screen.
Your valuable Inputs are awaited, PLz do lemme know
Thanks in advance ,
regards,
Shuja

Shuja,
A radio button nor a checkbox should be used for navigation. I would suggest a COMMAND BUTTON.
Something like this:
Report ZZZZZZ.
TABLES: sscrfields.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK ONE WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.
selection-screen: PUSHBUTTON /10(20) but1 USER-COMMAND cli1.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK ONE.
initialization.
but1 = 'Button Text Goes Here'.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
CASE sscrfields.
    WHEN 'CLI1'.
      call transaction 'CNR2'.
start-of-selection.
Your code here

Is it possible to flip the multiple choice quiz "radio" button from left to right of the answers?

Hello forum,
I am using Captivate version 6.1.0.319 on a Windows 7 desktop PC and would like to know if it is possible to flip the multiple choice quiz "radio" button from left to right of the answers. I am working on a project that uses the "Require Right to Left composer" within the Global Preferences: General settings. The captions has been switched from left to right but the quiz answer radio buttons did not. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, in advance.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
I'm not aware of such a possibility. A workaround could be to create your own MCQ slides, using standard objects and widgets like the radiobuttons widget (there is an enhanced version created by Jim Leichliter) and advanced actions. These articles were written for previous versions, but can give you an idea about the work involved:

Mac OS 10.6.7 corrupt font on export from Word to PDF

Hi,
I have a library of Word documents that use our corporate font: Officina Sans ITC Pro Book. I have previously saved these as PDF using Word for Mac and opening in Acrobat Pro 9 without any difficulty.
Today however, while Word will export and create the PDF. When the PDF is opened in Acrobat it comes up blank and crashes Acrobat. I have tried exporting from Word to PostScript, but this fails: "Stack:/Font-dict-/ZCYKUX+OfficinaSansITCPro-Book".
The font is avialable on the Mac. I have validated the font and using Font Finagler I have cleared the cache. All without success.
One pointer is the additional six digits in the PS log, which is in front of the font name.
Anyone got any ideas on how to clear the problem and start export cleanly from Word to PDF again?
Thanks,
Niall

Thanks Steve,
The link described our situation. You are correct: yes our font is OpenType PostScript and, yes I had updated to OS 10.6.7.
I have been busy reading. For other readers there is a long thread here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2792142&start=0&tstart=0, where I see that you have also participated.
I have posted constructive critisim to Apple on the OS update. However I don't think there will be a quick fix.
I will probably downgrade back to 10.6.6, but need to steel myself for the task.
Thanks also to Larry and Michael!

Since 11-4-14 every convert from Word to PDF has failed online or desktop - when will this be sorted

Since 11-4-14 EVERY convert from Word to PDF either online or desktop has failed, when will this be fixed?

No replies on here so went online and tried various options including "repair reader installation" plus uninstall and reinstall etc, some posts suggested a repair from the Printers file (Vista) so installed AdobeCreatePDF desktop printer plus Xerox Phaser PS printer as advised. All without any obvious sucess ie still no word docs converted after hours of trying. Then unexpectedly a further test convert attempt succeeded; tested again on desktop plus online and now all works fine as it did before. Who knows why - possibly only Adobe know. Will leave this thread here just in case the fail reappears over next few days!
