Disappearing content MS Office 2003 Acrobat 9 Pro

After upgrading to Acrobat 9 Pro from Acrobat 8 Pro, a lot of PDF documents created from Microsoft Office 2003 had missing paragraphs. This happened in Microsoft Word.
The problem did not happen when creating the PDF files through the print driver. Rather, it happened when creating the documents through the "Add-In" where folks can click in a toolbar or "Adobe PDF > Convert to Adobe PDF" from a menu.
The solution was to turn off the "Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF" option.

I can suggest to try this one:
Found that the file, PDFMOutlook.dll, is the culprit for many of your longstanding woes with the toolbar. A common way to eliminate the toolbar is to unregister the dll. This can be done by going to Start > Run and typing the following:
regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Mail\Outlook\PDFMOutlook.dll”
While this indeed does get rid of the toolbar, it’s not a recommended method as it basically just keeps the file from being loaded when you start Outlook. To return the PDFMaker on the toolbar I’ll recommend that you re-register the dll file. To re-register the file, simply go to Start > Run and type the following:
regsvr32 “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Mail\Outlook\PDFMOutlook.dll”

EMF graphics demaged in PDF created in Word 2010 with Acrobat X Pro,

We export EMF from a modelling tool and insert the EMF graphics in Word (see Word window). Creating a PDF with Acrobat X Professional leads to a damaged graphic (see Acrobat window). It was no problem in the Word 2003 & Acrobat 7 Pro "suite"...
What can I do to get embedded EMF graphics as before?

Hi pwhite2315,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Try using 'Create PDF' option under Acrobat ribbon in your word file and check for the same.
Also, please open 'Preferences' for Acrobat PDFMaker and check what 'Conversion Settings' have you selected.
Let me know.

Adobe Acrobat XI pro caused MS Office Visio 2003 problem.

I installed Adobe Acrobat XI pro, but it caused problem.
Each time I open MS Office Visio 2003, I get the warning message:
Visio找不到此附加元件或它的某個檔案。
發生了錯誤而且這個功能無法在再正常運作，您要立即修復這個功能嗎？
If Chinese is not available for my question, please refer to the following translation:
“Visio can not find the add-ons or one of its files.
An error is occurred and this function can not work properly, do you want to repair this function now?”
I clicked “Yes”, and the Visio add-ons are installed.
Once MS Office Visio 2003 is closed and opened again, the above story will happen again.
What is the problem and how to solve it?
p.s., Acrobat can be lunched/opened without any problem.

For creating a PDF from OFFICE 2003 with AA XI, you will have to print to the Adobe PDF printer. OFFICE 2003 is not compatible with the AA XI PDF Maker that was updated to work with the newer versions of OFFICE.

Error converting office 2003 apps to pdf - acrobat 9 pro

I have today upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and I cant anymore convert to pdf from my office 2003 applications. (outlook - word - xl). It does however, converts from the Internet Explorer.
Printing directly to the adobe printer from word - xl doesnt work either.
Everything was working fine prior to the upgrade.
I reinstalled the OS (Windows Vista Ultimate) and performed a clean installation of Acrobat 9 Pro but still doesnt work.
It must be a bug related only to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and office 2003 and I am surprised that I cant find anything in the forum. (Ive searched a few hours prior to opening this topic)
Any help please please please?
Thanks and regards,
Christos

In AA8 (I assume AA9 is similar) you simply open Distiller, select Settings and click on Add Adobe PDF Settings. However, you have to have a file to add. In vista, the standard location for the jobsettings files is C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings. I have 9 files there by default. They are also located under Settins in the Acrobat 8 folder (Program Files>Adobe) I would have to go to other machines to find the standard locations for those systems, but you might be able to search on line for "Acrobat <OS system> joboptions" with the appropriate OS listed. To see the current setup, open Distiller and check the settings files that are available.<br /><br />If there are none listed in Distiller, but they are on your system, then you might simply try to add. There are some joboptions files available online from several publishers for folks that submit manuscripts to their magazines. That might be an excellent place to get a file if you can not find one. Simply put it into the appropriate folder and use the Add menu in Distiller to add the file.

Where is the logfile for Acrobat Pro Extended 9.2 on Windows ? (regarding Microsoft Office 2003)

My installation of Acrobat Pro extended works printing all types of Microsoft Office 2003 documents (Word, Excel, Pagemaker, etc) but NOT with Powerpoint and I'm trying to get more information other than what I'm seeing in Powerpoint when I try to create the PDF which is "an error occurred while trying to print the Adobe PDF"
where would I look for the log file?
thanks

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 causes MS Office 2003 to freeze & mouse to malfunction - HELP!

After installing Acrobat 9.0 Professional on a 64-bit Windows Vista computer running Microsoft Office 2003 the following issues arose (note these issues were solved be uninstalling Acrobat). Does anyone have a fix?
1. Microsoft Internet Explorer stopped working - program would not launch.
2. Mouse click disabled - pointer worked but both click buttons disabled.
3. The following dialogue box opens in word when closing Word - Acrobat was not in use at the time, but it was installed on the machine:
"Do you want to save the changes to PDFMCustom?"
The Microsoft Office Program "Word 2003" would freeze at this point.
We need to run Acrobat on this machine - and unfortunately, we need Explorer and Office too, so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Acrobat 7 Pro & Office 2003

My end-user is receiving an error when attempting to create a PDF using the Acrobat 7.0 plug-in within Office 2003 running on Windows XP SP2. (note: Distiller 7.0 works without problems.) The error message received is: "The Acrobat PDFMaker Server could not be loaded. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?" Choosing Yes to repair or No to not repair has not made any difference. The same error message is repeated each time an attempt is made. Suggestions?

If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
Go to the Acrobat update page and apply the updates for your version of Acrobat
IN NUMBER ORDER (updates are not cumulative so, using version 8 as an example, you must apply 8.1.0 before the 8.1.1 update)
I don't know the current update version (I use 8x) but I'm pretty sure that Acrobat 7.0 has been updated several times... and also that Office has been updated once or twice

Office 2007 and Acrobat 9 pro?

Hello everyone -- Does anyone know if Office 2007 will work with Acrobat 9 pro. I was happily using Office 2003 and Outlook to save my e-mail in indexed pdf portfolios. I could search all e-mail folders and keep separate files for each e-mail correspondent. In addition, I could open attachments from within the pdf document. My entire filing system is dependent on being able to do this. I was forced to upgrade Office 2003 (because microsoft mistakenly assumed my copy was illegal even though it wasn't, but that's another story). Microsoft no longer sells Office 2003, so I bought Office 2010. That program is a disaster for me for many reasons. I would be willing to adjust if I could keep saving my outlook e-mail as I was able to do before, but from what I can tell that is going to be impossible. So I'm thinking of downgrading to Office 2007? Does anyone know if that will work. I'd be very grateful for some helpful info. I have been around in circles with both Adobe and Microsoft. Thanks.

Hello,
I'm sorry to tell you this, but I'm afraid you're in the wrong forum! This forum is for questions pertaining to Acrobat.com (www.acrobat.com) and we aren't able to provide specific guidance for questions or issues regarding Acrobat desktop software. That said, Acrobat 9 should have no problem working with Office 2007; it shipped after Office 2007 had come out, and will almost certainly be compatible. You may want to corroborate this information by reposting your question in the Acrobat forums:

Best of luck!

I can't create pdf files from word 2003 files in acrobat 9 pro any more

Until recently, i was able to make pdf files from word 2003 documents using the "create pdf from file" in acrobat 9 pro. Combining several word documents into 1 pdf was also a piece of cake.
Now, this doesn't work any longer. If i want to select the files, office 2003 files are no longer listed in the supported file formats.
See the picture below

Try running a Repair Installation on Acrobat (via the Help menu).

Converting pdf to Word 2003 in Acrobat 9 Pro

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro. I want to convert pdfs to Word 2003. I have followed the instructions to export to Word, but when I get to the dialog box that selects the conversion method, I choose Flowing, which is recommended, and click OK, and I get an error message that my PDF document may be corrupt. This happens with every pdf, whether it is a form downloaded from the internet or a text document I have created myself. If I try to convert to RTF instead, it makes the "conversion", but in doing so, it creates a file containing an image that is not editable -- it does not create a plain text, editable file.
Is the problem that I am using Word 2003? Word 2003 is not on the list of file formats to which the pdf can be exported, but when I get to that screen, I choose Workshare PDF in Word (which I believe I read somewhere is the correct choice for conversion to Word 2003) as my selection and it gets me to the "conversion method" screen (which gets me to the corruption error message). Again, even if I choose rtf, I do not get an editable document.
Any ideas???

Something to try -
Export the PDF to RTF.
Open the RTF file with Word Pad.
Save As (perhaps to a new filename -- 'something_bis.rtf')
Open this file with MS Word.
Not particularly surprising that the PDF you posted behaves poorly when 'worked' with Acrobat.
It is an output of Ghostscript.
Compounding the awkwardness of export is the fact that the PDF is not a Tagged PDF.
A significant raison d'etre for Tagged PDF is to support export of PDF content to a word processor application.
Be well...

Acrobat X Pro: No PDFMaker tools in Word 2003

Hi all,
Although Adobe says that Acrobat X is compatible with Word 2003, PDFMaker did not install (in Word or any other of my Office apps) when I installed the Acrobat X Pro package today. No ribbon, no add-in menus, nothing.
I have tried manually adding the .DLL COM add-ins, but all I get is Word saying that it's not a valid add-in. Acrobat is not on the disabled list (no apps are), but it just will not install.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, Office 2003, CS4 Design Standard and newly-installed Acrobat X Professional (and yes, I uninstalled Acrobat 9 Pro prior to installing X).
Any help would be appreciated. I know I can just print to the PDF printer, but that will not include the in-document bookmarks I need to generate.
Thanks.

They do indeed indicate it should be compatible. When you say it did not install, I assume you simply mean there is no Adobe menu in WORD. You will have to go to place in WORD where you permit other macros. Typically what happens is that it does not show because WORD has not allowed it in their system. That is an option you must activate.

Word 2003 - Acrobat menus disappear for some (not all) documents

I have a user who is having a very bizarre issue with Word 2003 and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. When he opens some Word documents, the PDF menus disappear. They are immediately restored when he closes the document or creates a new document. We've tried repairing and uninstalling/reinstalling to no avail. He uses several custom templates, but they are applied at startup to all documents. Any other troubleshooting ideas? Could the fact that he's using Word 2003 instead of 2007 be causing the problem?
Thanks

More information: I just checked the version of the file I had on my hard drive, and it's doing the same thing there. However, the other similar documents in the same folder on my hard drive are not behaving this way, so apparently it's not specifically
a SharePoint issue.

Question on merging office 2003 PPTs in Acrobat 9

I follow these steps to Merge office 2003 PPT files and combine the files in Acrobat 9.5.2 to create a combined PDF file with bookmarks. But only slides get printed please help me out.
Setting the PPT file printing options
When you use Adobe Professional to print both the notes section and slides to a PDF file, you have to first change a setting in the PowerPoint file:
In PowerPoint, select Tools -> Options -> Print tab -> then select the "Use the following print settings" radio button and select "Notes pages."
Note: If you want to print only slides and not the notes section, select “Slides.”
The ability to generate bookmarks for the PDF file needs to be set in the source application. In PowerPoint, you should have a menu item named "Adobe PDF." Select Adobe PDF -> Change Conversion Settings -> Settings tab, and then select "Add bookmarks to Adobe PDF".
Converting multiple files to PDF with bookmarks
Change the printing option on each PPT file. See Setting the PPT file printing options.
Open Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
Click on the Combine icon and select Merge Files into Single PDF.
Note: If this icon is not visible it is on the Tasks toolbar.
You will now see a window where you can add the individual PDF files.
After adding the individual files, you can rearrange the files as needed.
When ready, click the Combine Files button and wait for the file to be generated.
Save the file in the location and using the filename as needed.
Open the new file and review the bookmarks.
The bookmarks are inserted during the Combining process. The section names are the filenames and may need edits.

In the PDF preferences, there should be a check box for converting notes (I am using AA9). If this is selected, then when using PDF Maker, the notes are added to a layer in the PDF. To view the notes, select the little bubble icon in AA9.

Why would my Acrobat tab keep disappearing from my Office programs?

Every so often, my Acrobat tab keeps disappearing from my Office programs. It seems totally random, but happens when I am actually using the tool to convert a word doc or excel spreadsheet to PDF. I am using Office 2007 Professional and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
I have no problems getting the Acrobat tab back by doing the following:
1. Close the affected Office program (ie Word, Excel etc)
2. Reopen the affected Office program as Administrator.
3. Go into Options >Add-Ins> COM addins and delete the existing Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin.
4. Click OKs and close the program.
5. Reopen as Administrator and go back to Options >Add-Ins> COM addins and Add Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin.
(The add in for me is stored at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office and select the PDFMOfficeAddin.dll file. )
Once I add it back this way, it stays for sometimes up to 2 months, but then disappears again. I've had this happen in Word and Excel.
So getting it back is not an issue, but knowing what it happens in the first place and stopping that occurrence would be even better.
Any help with be awesome.
Thank you

Yeah.. I just noticed I was missing stuff last week, and then realized that my Apple TV was not showing up in my iTunes device list. I'm just hoping that the silence on this issue from Apple is a sign that they are getting ready to push out an update to correct either itunes or Apple TV. I've read lots of complaints, and just a few remedies. I've tried the remedies (including the one on the Apple TV support site) and none of them work for me. I have noticed one thing that that I wanted to try. In iTunes->Preferences->Apple TV I have an Apple TV in the "Apple TV's connected to iTunes" window, that shows a status of syncing. Since I don't have an Apple TV in the device list, and my Apple TV was reset days ago so it is giving me the code to enter into iTunes, can I assume that this item can and should be deleted. I don't think this is going to solve my problem, but it looks like a good next step. Any suggestions?
