Creating PDF's from *.doc or *.docx file with fake security issue's ......

Hi,
We're trying the new 11 Pro and just patched it to:11.0.09 to try to fix this error below.
When the user tries to create a PDF from the main menu that now says "Create PDF from File" instead of the old screen that said "Create PDF" ......
If I start the process with a *.docx file I get the " can't open the file because of rights "  error and it was doing the same thing in the old original installed
version of 11 and also now this the new one I just updated now to try to fix it. 
I also deleted the normal.doc templates in both his old MS Word 2003 program and also in the current copy he uses MS Word 2007.
If I start the 11 Pro and pick the same document as the first one except for the fact that it has been re-saved in a *.doc MS Word 2003 format,
the whole thing works perfectly.
Any suggestions?
Cheers'
Dave

Have you tried to open WORD and either print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the Acrobat icon (PDF Maker)? Try both. Do they work or not. PDF Maker has to work for the functionality of the create in Acrobat to work.

  • (Problem) Grey empty Word window shows up while opening .doc or .docx files with virtual Internet Explorer 9

    Hi,
    First i'll explain what i did.
    I've Thinapped Office 2010 Professional Plus SP2 with an Internet Explorer entry point. (Thinapp version 4.7.3)
    Made some changes in the registry so .doc and .docx files will open in the virtual IE browser.
    Here are my changes made to the registry:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.8]
    "BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.RTF.8]
    "BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.12]
    "BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.DocumentMacroEnabled.12]
    "BrowserFlags"=dword:80000024
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
    "Word.Document.12"=hex(0):
    "Word.Document.8"=hex(0):
    Now i have this problem:
    When opening a .doc or .docx file in the browser a ' download bar' appears.
    My document opens in the browser as expected but, at the same time an empty grey Word window appears at the background.
    The grey window shows not all the time when opening a .docx or .doc file , this is whats so strange about it.
    Sometimes when i open the .doc or .docx file it opens without the grey empty word window. It seems like it's happening randomly.
    I also tested it out with .xlsx files (Excel) but this go's all well.
    Before i forget, this all runs on a Windows 7 Enterprise environment.
    Does anyone know what causes my problem, or can anyone help me?
    Kind regards,
    Martijn

  • I'm on Windows 7. Why won't Adobe download my file converted from pdf to Word .doc or .docx? Error message comes up saying file failed to download due to configuration error but I don't know how to correct this. Any help appreciated!

  • I create a document in pages and then export it as doc or docx file. I then email or place the file in a drop box. When another computer opens the doc or docx the photos in the document are randomly scattered. What is the solution?

    I create a document in pages with photos. I then save it and I also export it as a doc or docx file. I then email or place in a drop box the doc or docx file. The other computer opens the file in Microsoft word and the text remains in place but the photos are randomly scattered throughout the document. What is going wrong? How do I correct this problem? I really don't want to go back to a Microsoft machine.

    That assumes two things:
    1. That Apple would have let Microsoft have access to its file format.
    2. That Microsoft would want to spend the time and trouble to write filters for file formats that Apple can't be bothered doing for its own software.

  • Post Lion/Unable to open .doc or .docx files from MS Word!!  Ideas??

    In Snow Leopard Pages (iWork '09) version 4 worked fine opening existing .doc and .docx files.  Recently installed Lion and tonight needed to open a Word document.  No joy.  I can open as a PREVIEW but not as an editable Pages document.  As a work-around, I can copy/paste PREVIEW to a new Pages document, edit and save as Word to ship back to fellow collaborator.  VERY UNFRIENDLY "feature"!!!!!

    A Google search using the terms <document "could not be opened" iwork"> turns up two possible solutions:
    Pages '09 refuses to create/open existing doc after Lion upgrade
    Re: The document “navidad.numbers” could not be opened.
    The first discussion's solution is to delete/reinstall/update iWork. The second is to edit the underlying code within the document and remove any Unicode characters.
    I recommend you go with solution no. 1. Use Yvan Koenig's script to delete iWork completely (see below), then reinstall and update iWork before attempting to open a Word document. Then let us know how you went.
    Go to https://public.me.com/koenigyvan

  • How to make a stationery out of .doc or .docx file?

    Hi,
    I stumbled upon a website that has some nice stationery, in .doc format. and since there few free pre made stationery available for Mail.app, at least to my knowledge, because I think I almost downloaded every free stationery available out there that could be easily found via Google. I decided to download some of these .doc stationeries and try to put them in Mail.app, but first I had to convert them into .html format. so here is what I've already tried and did not work:
    first I tried opening them in TextEdit, which supports .doc out of the box, only to find out that the pictures in the documents are gone to thin air. I tried saving it and then opening it with something else like Open Office, but the pictures were permanently gone.
    then I tried opening the original documents directly in Open Office, you guessed right If you said they will look screwed, and they were, and tried to save them as html, they were screwed even more.
    so I did a bit of research and found out that I could use Google Docs in order to convert the documents, I uploaded them into my Google docs and then tried to open them with it, but found it that Google docs can't handle the pictures (specially background pictures) either. as a result I did more searching to find a document converter and here is what I found:
    I found a few online service to convert these documents:
    http://www.freefileconvert.com/ was pretty good to convert the files into an .odt format. at first I thought yes I got the solution, now I can simply convert it to html using Open Office, but unfortunately, when I saved the document in html format and checked it in Safari to see how does it look, as If I would have done the same in MS Office with the original format, it looked pretty much screwed .
    So I continued to look and I found a few other online services one of them asked me to pay a fee, I skipped to the other one which was http://docx-converter.com/. unfortunately the website wasn't functioning properly I think, at least for me (maybe someone out there has succeeded using it, I don't know.) and it didn't send me anything.
    Finally I found http://www.zamzar.com/ that could convert .doc or .docx documents into html, or at least that is what it claims to do so, I tried it, and after I received the file via email, I found out it only contains a bmp image of the document's background. So much for the online conversion services!
    But I decided I would give it a last shot using MS Office online, so I opened up my old Windows Live mail and went into my Skydrive, I uploaded the documents and tried saving it as html, but there were no save as html (after all an online copy of MS Office should have some limitations, otherwise few people will be willing to buy a Desktop version) but this didn't made me disappointed, since I already knew, that Neither Office Word can make a clear conversion, so I tried something different, while I was in Safari looking at the document in online MS office, I saved the page as Web Archives, then I opened the file with TextEdit, and after deleting useless links and pictures, I finally managed to get a clear document with everything that supposed to be in it. At this point I only need to know how to make use of this document to create a stationery with this raw file which is in Web Archive format. any ideas?
    null

    I'm a total idiot! How did I overlook http://www.zamzar.com/ functions? I think I might have mistakenly chosen convert to BMP instead of html. I tried it and the result was very good.
    OK I finally found a good solution for this problem, so everyone out there that has the same problem, here is what I did:
    1. OK if you have some .doc and .docx file formats and you want to convert them into something like .html or .odt, without having to reedit the code or getting a screwed document, use http://www.freefileconvert.com/ in order to convert them into .odt so they would look as they do in MS office just go to the website and upload your documents then choose .odt, then click convert, after a few moments you will get a link to download your .odt files. you can use and play around with your document in Open Office, I have tested it and it's really good.
    2. Or if you want to convert them into .html with a clean code, and all the elements in it, simply go to http://www.zamzar.com/ and then ulpoad your documents, choose .html and enter your email address, you will have your .html files zipped and sent right in your inbox, then you could use Kompozer like me, or any other html editor, to make a template out of it. I tried it and the result was nice, now I have a bunch of nice html files that I can use to make templates and email stationery.

  • How to Open Doc. and Docx. attachments with Word 2013 from Firefox

    I just got a new laptop and installed Office 2013. However, when I try to open an attachment from my email or a document from the web, the box comes up that says "What should Firefox do with this file?" I can save the file fine, but when I click "Browse" next to "Open with", Microsoft Word is nowhere to be found. It would be nice to get the document to automatically open in Word. I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, but any help would be appreciated.

    Which application opens the file if you double-click such a file in Windows Explorer?
    If the default program is Word then Firefox should offer that application as the default.
    In the case of an attachment then it may not be likely that the file is send with the correct MIME type for a doc or docx file, but possibly a generic type like "application/octet-stream" that will make Firefox want to save the file.

  • Creating PDF's from Dot Matrix ESC/P formatted documents

    Hello,
    I'm new to Acrobat World, and Need to create pdf's from my DOS application to print them later. The reports that I want to convert contains Epson Esc/p commands for printing. My idea is to get a PDF file that converts bold, condensed and other Esc/p commands correctly, and print it later on another location. To try, I installed the trial version of Acrobat Pro.
    I had no trouble redirecting the output from my DOS application to the Adobe printer (I shared the printer and use the NET USE command to redirect lpt1 to this shared printer) and I monitored the printer queue. Jobs reach the printer queue but a windows error shows telling the document cannot be printed. The job remains on the printer queue with a ERROR-PRINTING status. I tried both printer drivers (Adobe Pdf and Adobe PdfWriter). The last time I got a moving Adobe Icon in the task bar telling: READY XXXXX.PDF. I've searched all computer for that file and it is not anywere.
    My environment is the following: Windows XP Pro SP2 and FoxPro for DOS 2.6, Acrobat 8 Pro trial Version (I need to know if this will work before I order Acrobat), Intel Pentium 4 at 2.8Ghz, 512MB RAM.
    Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

    Thanks for your interest Bill.
    I did just what you suggested. The file gets created, and when I open it in Distiller, the errors showed (log file) are the following:
    Start Time: Martes, 29 de Abril de 2008 at 13:24:45

    Distill Time: 00 Hour(s) : 00 Minute(s) : 00.438 Second(s)
    **** End of Job ****
    Jojojo was the name of the file created by AdobePDF printer. The word AFIANZADORA happens to be the first text word in my document. It seems it does nothing from the beginning. Can you tell me what's happening with this information ?
    And yes, I can print from any other windows application and a .pdf file is always created.

  • How to find all doc and docx files ?

    In order to find all my DOC or DOCX documents I tried with Fider - ALL FILES but see no such options  to narrow down this search to only DOC or DOCX
    I tried with .doc and .docx but with bad results
    Once I have the list with my Word documents, I want to search for the word Music inside the files.
    Anyone has a suggestion?
    Also tried with Spotlight, no good either.
    I use Mac OS Lion

    In the Finder, choose Find (Command-F). In the search criteria, choose Kind - is - Other. In the Other text box type "Microsoft Word".
    If you search by extension, such as Name - Ends with - "docx", you will miss files with extension hidden.

  • Amarok 1.4.10 from AUR plays flac files with errors

    amarok 1.4.10 from AUR plays flac files with errors and i mean that it plays flac files but with strange behavior and of course the result is awful is there any chance to fix that problem. i have compile it with xine engine, can i use a different engine in PKGBUILD and how. i should write that i don't known much from configure a PKGBUILD by my own. with exaile and totem i have no problem i also play flacs with 24bit and 96khz audio quality. tnks for your time

    Why not amarok 2.3 from extra?
    Found this but its for 2.3: forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=85428
    looks like amarok just uses xine, which I don't know much about...
    the 2.3 version depends on kde4, so you can run kde4 system settings and switch the multimedia backend between xine, mplayer, and gstreamer (need the aur packages first). I know mplayer should use ffmpeg to playback though.
    Edit: looks like exaile and totem use gstreamer for playback
