Digitasl Signature in Word not retained in PDF

Word 2010
Acrobat X 10.1.9
A PDF generated from a Word document with multiple digital signatures does not display one of the signatures in the PDF output when using the Acrobat toolbar.
Three on the previous page display and one of two on the next page displays but not the last one and the borders of the signature table around the last one that displays are partially blank.
I have successfully produced a PDF directly form the Word PDF create function which displays all the signatures correctly.
Any ideas ?

Thanks for clarifying that. We hadnt given consideration to the use of signatures like thatr as you have mentioned.
Can we distribute the document without the risk of losing the signature validity in the Word document ?
Is it better to apply signatures to PDFs ?
Or can we preserve the appearance of the signature in the Word document ?
I wonder why just one of the signatures is not displaying when i use the Adobe menu to generate the PDF.
Perhaps some setting in the job options is causing that? What might it be though ?

Signature Scribble field not retaining image file after saving

I have 2 issues with my PDF dynamic file I sent out
1) The add/remove controls is adding a random amount of extra blank rows upon saving the PDF
2) The image files selected for the Signature Scribble field is not retaining the image file after saving. It also doesn't give an opportunity to actually draw in a signature.
I even tried to use the Subform Instance Controls Insert/Remove/Move in my table, but I keep receiving the error "You have reached the maximum number of items allowed"
I would appreciate any help you can give me! I have been farting around with this for too long.
Thanks!
Rhonda

Thanks Pat. Tried each, restarted computer each time; tried the "Accept" routine several days ago - it worked briefly and then stopped. Uninstalled Reader and Flash as well. Strange thing with Flash, one of my online broker programs provides streaming of CNBC. When I clicked on the CNBC option to initiate CNBC, I got a message saying that I needed to load Flash. I did, and it loaded again with no mention of Flash having already been installed.
Using Internet Explorer works, as well as, clicking on the .pdf file within Windows Explorer (WE). Expanding the window in WE makes it large enough to read. I would still like to find a way to open the files as they are designed to open.
I have done all of the Adobe updates as they have been presented. Microsoft updates load automatically, and restart my computer in the process. I do not look to see what the updates have been. I figure if there was not a need, Microsoft would not make the updates.

Hyperlinks from Word not correct in pdf when in web browser v7

We have a table of contents that we we have in word, the word file has hyperlinks to individual PDF files. After a new item is added to the table on contents, we distill the word to a pdf. Users access the pdf from a web page. Recently something changed and the pdf file of the table of contents is not linking to the correct pdf file.

Digital signature from Topaz not appearing in PDF

Hi,
I've created some PDFs in Acrobat Pro XI but I'm having problems attaching a digital signature using a Topaz signature pad.
The user is using Acrobat X (not Reader).
They are able to draw the signature box on the PDF and they can create the signature using the Topaz signature pad but then the signature doesn't get applied to the PDF (it just leaves the signature box blank).
I've checked the security settings on the PDF and everything is set to Allowed including Signing.
I've also tried the forms in Acrobat Reader (after enabling the Extended Reader options) with the same results.
Not sure what the problem is. The user can sign other PDFs (that I didn't create) using the Topaz signature pad.
Thanks for any help!

Hi Sebastian,
We've had the same issue and found no solution for this. There just isn't a way to add an image to a by SAP generated PDF file. The only thing that did work was adding the image to a report and adding the report to the web template. In that case the image is printed but on a seperate page.
Kind regards,
Alex

When converting tables in a MS Word 2010 or 2007 to PDF the table borders do not retain the correct thickness as identified in the word document. Is there a solution for this issue?

Can't create PDF from Word that retains links

I'm using Microsoft Word from Office Professional 2010, Version: 14.0.7116.5000 (64-bit) with Windows 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1, and Adobe Acrobat X1 Standard 11.0.03.
Whenever I use a particular font (which is the main font I use for text, so I can't really use something else), and try to retain the links in the Word document, it never creates the PDF properly. For example, if I print to Adobe PDF, using many different settings, the font embeds properly but the hyperlinks are never retained (by "hyperlink" I mean the text in Word that is selected and has an underlying web link). I've tried many different Acrobat settings, and Word settings, but nothing seems to make it retain the links when I'm using Print to create the PDF.
But, if I use the Acrobat tab in Word, and the Create PDF button, the PDF will retain the links, but the main font I use (Mercury Text Fonts | Hoefler & Co.) is never embedded (despite all the settings I've tried), and instead that main roman font is replaced with a bold version of that font. NOTE: There are NOT license restrictions on the font, which is especially obvious since the bold versions of the font embed no matter what, and the regular roman version of the font embeds when I print to a PDF not using the Acrobat tab.
Of course, I have indeed used Acrobat's advanced settings to "always embed" the particular font, but it still won't embed.
How can I resolve this? I don't mind calling premium Acrobat support is such an option exists. Thank you.

93654User, I looked at the Hoefler website. It is not clear to me that their license allows for the embedding of fonts in pdfs: Create and modify Embedded Software Files, using the Permitted Computer(s). Licensee is also permitted to reproduce, distribute and display Non-Commercial Documents without obtaining an additional license. For clarity, except for Non-Commercial Documents, no right to reproduce, distribute or display any Embedded Software Files is granted by this license. In order to reproduce, distribute or display an Embedded Software File created pursuant to this Section that is not a Non-Commercial Document, Licensee must obtain a Software Distribution License, a Commercial Digital Publishing License, or another license as specified by Licensor. Please contact Licensor at [email protected] if you require these additional rights. All Embedded Software Files created pursuant to this subparagraph must comply with all of the following: I would contact the company to see if they allow licensing in pdfs. Also early versions of fonts from many years ago had a non-embed font flag improperly set. The only way you can be sure what is happening with this font is to contact its maker.

Cannot embed pdfs in MS Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.

Cannot embed pdfs in Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.
Pdfs with other versions are okay:
Tested successfully with Adobe Pro 9 (Version 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)), Reader X (Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x)) and XI (Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x))
Also cannot open embedded pdfs which have been embedded with this version (getting a similar error).
Importantly I have removed/disabled all security options in Adobe Reader, following numerous internet suggestions from Adobe and elsewhere. This does not fix the problem.
Currently the work around is to re-save the pdf with something other than Adobe Reader 9 (so the version updates), but we would prefer not to do this for all the old pdfs we have.
Thank you,
Louise.

Could you please email me the document on which you are seeing this issue at [email protected] ?
Please mention the forum thread link as well in the mail for the reference.

I just purchased Adobe Acrobat in order to convert a pdf to an excel program but it appears that it will only convert to Word, not excel? Am I doing something wrong or should I cancel my subscription?

What happens when you convert to excel?

PDF export to word not working, conversion shows text as code.

I am working with Adobe acrobat pro, and cannot seem to export my PDf file without the text resulting in incomprehensible code. The images in the PDf convert beautifully, however.
I have followed the directions listed on the website, and have enable ORC, but it has not helped.
PDF file info:

Could you post the PDF or a page of it so that we can try it. I actually still have AA5 on one machine, though everything else is more current. If you can also post your DOC result it would help too. You can post on Acrobat.com or dropbox and leave the link here.

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
However, even if presented with multiple prints with
the same name, the spooler should print each one!
The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why?

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro for one year and it is valid to november 2015, but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why ?

Hi m_karhulinna,
If you have Acrobat Pro, you can save directly to Word format from within Acrobat by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
(It sounds like you may be trying to use the ExportPDF online service, which is separate from Acrobat, and not necessary in your case.)
Best,

Word objects will not convert to pdf

Hi. I have had this issue for some time. So, I went with the Acrobat 9 Pro edition and the same issues are occurring. Ok, here is the problem:
When I convert a Word document with text and an object, image or graphic to a pdf document, only the text converts. In other words, I get a pdf document with the object, image or graphic missing. This also applies to text boxes. These also do not show up in the converted pdf.
I have tried to find a setting in preferences to address this but continually have had no luck.
Please help with this issue.
Much thanks in advance,
Jamie

How are you converting? What version of WORD? The key issues you have left out.

Shapes, Smart Art not showing in PDF from Word 2007

Hi,
I am having a strange problem. When I convert my Word 2007 document to PDF using Acrobat PDF, all the shapes and smart art that I created in Word 2007 is not appearing in the PDF.
However, when I am converting either Microsoft Powerpoint or Microsoft Excel 2007 to PDF, the shapes and smart art are coming properly.
Can anyone please help me. It is really really urgent for me.
Regards,
Ashish Agarwal

How are you converting your document? Try another way. You can convert it by going to the Acrobat ribbon, or by printing it to Adobe PDF (just like you would to a normal printer but select Adobe PDF) or from within Acrobat (File>Create PDF>From File). If this doesn't fix it try changing the PDF settings used to create it, e.g. smallest file size, Press Quality etc.

Windows 7, Office 2007, Adobe Acrobat cs3 - will not create a .pdf from word doc

I can not create a .PDF file from a 2007 word.docx file. I have tried a few different word docs, including a document I created just to trouble shoot with.
I tried opening the .docx in Word and then going PRINT - ADOBE PDF. When I do this 'nothing' happens. No dialogue box opens, nada.
When I open Adobe Acrobat and try to 'create' I get this error: "Adobe acrobat could not open"name.docx" because it is not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged...".
New Dell, Windows 2007, Adobe Acrobate pro 8 from CS3, Word 2007.

Something to check.
Help > About Adobe Acrobat...
See what dot version is in place.
Support for Office 2007 applications began with Acrobat 8.1; so, you want that or better.
As to Windows 7 — some Adobe information:
--| Installing and using Windows 7 with Adobe Creative Suite applications
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/508/cpsid_50853.html
--| Adobe product operating system compatibility
http://www.adobe.com/support/OScompatibility.html
--| Adobe Reader/Acrobat – Windows 7 FAQ
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/faq/
From the FAQ page.
--| Adobe supports Windows 7 with Adobe Reader/Acrobat 9; specifically, this starts with the 9.2 dot release.
--| Adobe does not support Acrobat 8, Adobe Reader 8 or prior versions on Windows 7
and does not plan to release updates to those versions for Windows 7 compatibility.
Be well...
