Distorted Files when converting from Excel to PDF

Hello,
I work in IT and I have an annoying issue that when someone using Excel 2007 clicks on the acrobat tab to create a PDF from excel. The finished PDF file is distorted, and will not show the files as they should be. Part of the graph will be missing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Acrobat Pro X, the only thing that happened was that when creating a new user, the new user is able to create a perfect excel to PDF file with no issue, but the original user with the issue still has the same problem. Is there a setting that will fix this?

Hi,
Please share your file if possible so that I can look into the problem. Please use below link:

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.

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

Increased file size when converted from .docx to .pdf

Hello everyone,
I have been having problems with Adobe: I need to convert a large amount of Word documents (.docx) to Adobe files (.pdf). I need to keep the size of these documents small as there are limits designated to my project. I have converted a file of 27kb recently and it turned out as 207kb pdf file. When I save this, I select "Minimum Size" when saving in the "Optimize for" area. As far as I know, when converted, .pdf files should be smaller than the original files. Please help me on this
I am using Microsoft Office 2013 and Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06)

Not wrong. Different.
As it seems you are converting by saving as in Word, rather than using Adobe software. If you own Acrobat Pro, you can both use it to make the PDF (several different ways, many settings) and analyse the space usage.

Multiple images are blocky when converting from powerpoint to PDF?

Heres my problem:
If I have a powerpoint with ONE image (be it jpeg, gif, png, etc) they apper fine when you convert the document to PDF (via print>Print to PDF or by using the Acorbat plug in in Powerpoint).
BUT
If I have 2 or more images in a powerpoint slide, the images appear blocky and sections of the images are missing. I tried to ungroup the photos and group the photos yet I get the same result. Anyone know how to correct this??
The images were originally created in Adobe Illustrator. There must be a setting in Illustrator or Powerpoint that is causing this problem but I cant figure it out.
Thanks

Correction, it appears to be a problem with the CROP button in Powerpoint. I have a PNG file and it has two images (a map and a legend) on one png. When I crop it to only show ONE image (either the map or the legend) it makes it become blocky. So weird.

Hidden file when converting from raw to jpeg. How to delete this?

I just found out that when converting raw into jpeg in Photoshop there is a hidden file enclosed starting with ._ Computers don't see them but televisions do. I discovered this because I want to show a batch of my images on a television with a usb of a sd card. It shows my images and after each normal image I get a black image with a questionmark. It says 'cannot read this file' and it shows the name of the image but with a ._ in front of it. For instance garden.jpg and then -_garden.jpg. Computers don't read images starting with ._ but televisions seem to do so. I want to delete these ._ images because I cannot show a slide show of my images on a television. Anyone can help? It seems that this hidden file is incorporated into the jpeg file.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I have thought of this solution but these files are not showing when I set it this way. I had a specialist helping me to find this problem and he was very surprised that these hidden files didn't show up in his special program for showing hidden information. Only when going deeper and deeper into this program these files showed on his computer. As they are incorporated into the original file (the jpeg version) you don't seem to be able to delete them. What do people do when they want to show (jpeg converted from raw)images on their tv?
I have a Mac if that helps.

The other details? How are you trying to create the PDF (PDF Maker, printing to the Adobe PDF printer) and what selections (B&W, Standard job settings, and other options)?

Border on JPEG when converted from doc to PDF

When I convert a document to PDF some of the jpegs have a border on the left side and across the top. It has been happening for awhile, I have updated to the current reader 10.3, I am using Win 7 and Office 2007. I am able to create a pdf without the borders on another computer that is using XP and Office 2007.

Looks like a issue of Office 2007.

Lock a PDF file when converted from Smartform

Hello Experts,
In our current project we have an urgent requirement to apply a Lock to a PDF document
so it cannot be amended. This is a PDF document and not an Adobe interactive
form, which currently cannot be used on the project. We are seeking help from
other colleagues who have had successful experience in achieving the creation
of a lock to the PDF document which is generated as an output from a SAP Smart
Form and then e-mailed to the recipient, in this case end Customers, therefore
integrity of information to prevent changes is a legal requirement. We are
aware of an encrypted password option but in this case we need to apply a lock
to the PDF document.
Many Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
Nikhil

Editing PDF When Converted from Word to PDF

I converted a word document to PDF. When I opened the file to edit and use the OCR Text Recognition it said could not edit because of renderable text.
I also have photos and website links in the document.
What can I do so I can edit the text?

Thanks for your quick responses.
Yes I do. I guess I need to re- edit in word. I just thought I could edit it in 9.0 Pro as well. I was getting some large spaces in between some paragraphs. In word the spaces do not look as large.
Also if you know if there is a way to make it so the links are workable. I plan to make the text protected from copy and paste, etc etc.This is going to be an informative Ebook and I want the users to be able to click on the links and continue to various websites.

Inconsistant page sizes when converting from word to pdf

My word file has A4 sized pages and A3 sized pages.
When I convert them to PDF, the content on the A3 pages get cut off.
I want to keep the 2 different sized pages in my document.
How can I fix this?

To maintain links you have to use the PDFMaker plugin. I'm guessing it's
not available for your combination of Office and Acrobat, so you're out of
luck.

Why do colours change when converting from Word to PDF

I am converting word files to pdf, however the header and footer background colours change once converted. How can I stop this happening?

Depends on how you are creating the PDF. If you are using PDF Maker (the create PDF button), then check the preferences in that menu. There is an entry for the settings file selected. If you are printing to the Adobe PDF printer, the settings file is listed under the settings tab of the properties menu.

Reduced in resolution when converting from Visio to PDF in Visio 2013

I have a .NET application that converts Visio files to PDF using the Document.ExportAsFixedFormat method. This works fine in Visio 2010. However, upon upgrading to Visio 2013, the exact same code is producing PDF with much lower resolution that is unsuitable
for print. I am not sure what is wrong. Is there something I can do to export high resolution PDF with Visio 2013? Thanks!
The following is my code:
_app.ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat(VisFixedFormatTypes.visFixedFormatPDF, // Format
pdfpath, // Output path
VisDocExIntent.visDocExIntentPrint, // Output quality
VisPrintOutRange.visPrintFromTo, // Range
1, // Start page
-1, // End page
false, // Color as black
true, // Include background
false, // Include document properties
false, // Indicate tag structure
true, // Use ISO 19005-1 (PDF/A).
System.Reflection.Missing.Value // FixedFormatExtClass

Hi Eugene
I am using visFixedFormatPDF, visDocExIntentPrint, and visPrintAll, but there is no improvement in the resolution of the PDF.
The Type.Missing value can only be used for the last parameter. The other parameters require either bool or int, so I get compile errors if I try to use Type.Missing.
I also notice the reduction of resolution in Visio 2013 only applies to bitmap images copied into the Visio file. Lines and shapes drawn in Visio still looks fine. I am getting this problem even if I simply select the Save As menu option and select PDF,
so this problem could be independent of office.interop.
Is there something I can do to avoid the degradation of resolution of bitmaps in Visio 2013? Everything is fine in Visio 2010.
