Do converted docs remain in cyberspace?

2/4/15
                        I just bought Adobe Reader XI Created Wednesday, January 21, 2015, 5:25:38 PM to allow me to convert PDF's to "Word" and "Excel".
                        It is a valuable function for me, and thank you for it.
                        However, when I do a conversion, a message indicates that my document is now saved on a third party internet location.
                        Is my understanding correct; i.e. that it is also saved somewhere in cyberspace?
If so, I'm uncomfortable with that, because in my business work I convert some sensitive documents that I cannot afford to be compromised.
Also, if it is true, how can I eliminate those cyberspace documents?
                        Respectfully,
                        Andrew Montagnolo

Hi Andy,
You're very welcome!
That's a good question. The Acrobat.com online account is created when you start a subscription. You access it by logging in to https://cloud.acerobat.com (you access your ExportPDF service via this same URL).
The online services are designed to store files in this account. And storing your files securely in "the cloud," as your Acrobat.com account does, is a convenient way to have your files in one place, while freeing up disk space on your desktop or laptop. Storage isn't limited to the files you convert with ExportPDF--you can upload any files for storage. But, that said, it's not a requirement that you store your files that way. You can always download your files after you've converted them, and keep them on your own computer.
I hope that makes sense!

I can not open adobe files. mainly ones that end in doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert .doc files

I can not open adobe files that end in .doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert doc to pdf and I still cant open. I get an error reading.

Hi,
Which Adobe Service did you purchased?
If you have purchased CreatePDF please visit: https://createpdf.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
Sign in with your Adobe ID and password, and then convert your word doc into PDF.
Please let me know if that works.
If you have Adobe Reader, you cannot convert .doc file to .PDF by drag and drop.

How to convert .doc file into .rtf file in Java?

Hello All,
I want to convert doc file into rtf format in java and for the same i am not getting any help so pls suggest some solution for that.
Thanks and Regards
only1Vinay

MS-Word formats (DOC) are notorious for not being standardized from one version to another, so what ever you get will be version specific. If you must do the conversion, I suggest you do a MS-Script in Word to do it or one of the .Net languages. As stated the Word format from version to version is not standardized.

Hello Gayatri,
You can convert files from doc to docx using following options
Option 1
in bulk using Office File Converter (OFC) and Version Extraction Tool. Please refer below url for reference - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179019.aspx
Option 2 - PowerShell
please refer url -http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericwhite/archive/2008/09/19/bulk-convert-doc-to-docx.aspx
Convert DOC to DOCX using PowerShell
I was tasked with taking a large number of .DOC and .RTF files and converting them to .DOCX. The files were then going to be imported into a SharePoint site. So I went out on the web looking for PowerShell scripts to accomplish this. There are plenty to
choose from.
All the examples on the web were the same with some minor modifications. Most of them followed this pattern:
$word = new-object -comobject word.application
$word.Visible = $False
$saveFormat = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat],”wdFormatDocumentDefault”);
#Get the files
$folderpath = “c:\doclocation\*”
$fileType = “*doc”
Get-ChildItem -path $folderpath -include $fileType | foreach-object
$opendoc = $word.documents.open($_.FullName)
$savename = ($_.fullname).substring(0,($_.FullName).lastindexOf(“.”))
$opendoc.saveas([ref]“$savename”, [ref]$saveFormat);
$opendoc.close();
#Clean up
$word.quit()
After trying out several I started to convert some test documents. All went well until the files were uploaded to SharePoint. The .RTF files were fine but even though the .DOC fiels were now .DOCX files they did not allow for all the functionality of .DOCX
to be used.
After investigating a little further it turns out that when doing a conversion from .DOC to .DOCX the files are left in compatibility mode. The files are smaller, but they don’t allow for things like coauthors.
So back to the drawing board and the web and I found a way to set compatibility mode off. The problem was that it required more steps including saving and reopening the files. In order to use this method I had to add a compatibility mode object:
$CompatMode = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdCompatibilityMode], “wdWord2010″)
And then change the code inside the {} from above to:
$opendoc = $word.documents.open($_.FullName)
$savename = ($_.fullname).substring(0,($_.FullName).lastindexOf(“.”))
$opendoc.saveas([ref]“$savename”, [ref]$saveFormat);
$opendoc.close();
$converteddoc = get-childitem $savename
$opendoc = $word.documents.open($converteddoc.FullName)$opendoc.SetCompatibilityMode($compatMode);
$opendoc.save()
$opendoc.close()
It worked, but I didn’t like it. So back to the web again and this time I stumbled across the real way to do it. Use the Convert method. No one else seems to have used this in any of the examples but it is a much cleaner way to do it then the compatibility
mode setting. So this is how I changed my code and now all the files come in to SharePoint as true .DOCX files.
$word = new-object -comobject word.application
$word.Visible = $False
$saveFormat = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat],”wdFormatDocumentDefault”);
#Get the files
$folderpath = “c:\doclocation\*”
$fileType = “*doc”
Get-ChildItem -path $folderpath -include $fileType | foreach-object
$opendoc = $word.documents.open($_.FullName)
$savename = ($_.fullname).substring(0,($_.FullName).lastindexOf(“.”))
$word.Convert()
$opendoc.saveas([ref]“$savename”, [ref]$saveFormat);
$opendoc.close();
#Clean up
$word.quit()

Error in converting *.doc to *.pdf

Running winXP home sp2, adobe pro 7.1.0
This problem has started suddenly.
When converting *.doc to *.pdf a window titled AcroDist.exe-Application Error comes up:
"0x00441ae2" referenced memory at "0x0218ebbc". The memory could not be "read".
Acrobat stops and can only be stopped from the Task Manager. Try to print something in *.pdf -- same thing happens.
Anyone, any suggestions? I would be thankful.

Gloria Mc,
This occurs with all .doc, Excel, .rtf, .txt (even when trying to print .pdf from a txt software like notepad. It does not occur with picture format files like .jpg or .tiff. I also can combine .pdf files.
As far as JR's question, if I generate a .prn file and drop it in AcroDist (Distiller), it tries to open Distiller and the same error message comes up.
All other functions of AA7 seem to work, only when trying to convert document files to .pdf is there a problem.
If I try to bring up Distiller by itself (no file), the same error occurs.
I'm still willing to try any suggestions. Thanks for your interest.

Converting .DOC, .XSL filo to PDF

Hi all,
currently I am looking for a Java API which would be able to convert DOC and XSL files to PDF file + adding bookmark information into both files also. I am not interested in solutions using hidden instances of some applications like Jacob (using MS Word instance) or OpenOffice SDK (using OpenOffice.org appl.) as it is the problem I am trying to avoid.
Thanks a lot for any advice.
Frank
P.S.: I am a newie in here so I hope I didn't "do" anything against rules... :)

You can not. the best you can do is use something like POI to give an approx. render of the page, and spit it out to PDF, or using a native word view, and script it in some way to print to a PDF.

Poor quality when "shortcut" converting DOC - PDF Windows 7

Hi,
The products involved arr Adobe acrobat X Standard, Word 2010 and Windows 7.
We have a problem with converting DOC to PDF. If we use the right click shortcut on a DOC file the quality gets all messed up but if we open it in Word and then choose print with Adobe PDF printer the quality gets the expected Distiller printer option (High quality).
//Kim

I had seen this conflicting settings, but only now dug deeper to verify; this make no sense, from a development or usage situation.
From the PDF Printer properties,
The General tab has a Printing Perferences sub menu - I typically set my preference from that route.
The Advanced tab has a Printing Defaults sub menu with a dialog identicle to the Preferences dialog, but the Default setting may be other than that used in the Printing Preferences...
Change your setting in Advanced > Printing Defaults

How to Convert Doc or Docx File to HTML?

Is there any API in java is avilbale to convert doc/docx into HTML?

Mr Babakishiyev wrote:
Not in the JDK.
But you can use POI for working excel and doc filesBut not to fulfill the requirement.
The only thing I can think of if you must use Java (which tends to not be the best choice when having to work with Microsoft file formats) is to see if the OpenOffice API can do what you need. But then get ready for some reading.

Applescript batch convert DOC to TXT with line breaks

Hey guys, I recently got stuck at work having to convert over 1,000 DOC files to TXT files with line breaks.
I've found online several different Applescripts that work great at converting DOC files to TXT files but I can't find one that will do the TXT files with line breaks.
If anyone has a script that can do this I would be crazy grateful.
Converting these one by one with Word is taking forever to do.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Excuse me for a moment for speaking harshly to you. You are causing yourself utterly unnecessary headaches by not being clear with us and not stopping to think, and it's high time you learned that that is an incorrect way to approach anything on a computer. Consider:
you don't know what you're doing (in the sense that you don't know what 'text with line breaks' means)
you don't know (or at least haven't explained) why this needs to be done
(therefore) you don't know if this needs to be done at all
(and yet) you are doing it anyway, in a mindlessly repetitive fashion, driving yourself batty and irritating me
At least for the time being, humans are the ones who think and computers the ones who grunt away mindlessly; try to reverse those roles and everything gets done badly and slowly. Stop, look, think, plan ahead - that's what your brain is good at if you give it a chance.
Now, as far as I can tell from poking around the web, 'text only with line breaks' means that the document is saved as a plain-text file, but with a carriage return linefeed combination (CR/LF) as a paragraph delimiter (this is a Windows format - unix uses a single linefeed, Macs might use a single carriage return or a single linefeed). I don't know why anyone would want that format - most software will convert that seamlessly (or at least can be told to convert that). Are you trying to feed this into some dinosaur of a database? At any rate, if that's what you want, this script should do it. caution, this script overwrites the original files; I suggest you make a copy of one or two files in a separate folder, and run the script on them first to check that the output works for whatever reason you're doing this:
set baseFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder of files to process"
tell application "Finder"
          set fileList to (every file of baseFolder whose name extension is "txt") as alias list
end tell
repeat with thisFile in fileList
          set itsText to read thisFile
          if (offset of (return & linefeed) in itsText) = 0 then
-- file is not already formatted with CR/LF, so convert
                    set itsChunks to tid(itsText, {return, linefeed})
                    set itsNewText to tid(itsChunks, return & linefeed)
                    set fp to open for access thisFile with write permission
                    set eof of fp to 0
write itsNewText to fp as text
close access fp
          end if
end repeat
on tid(input, delim)
-- handler for text items conversions
          set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, delim}
          if class of input is list then
                    set output to input as text
          else
                    set output to text items of input
          end if
          set my text item delimiters to oldTID
          return output
end tid

Is it possible to convert .doc to pdf ?

Hi..
I am very new to Livecycle Workflow...! I just want to know whether it is possible to convert .doc to pdf ?
Just by googling i came to know that CreatePDF2 Service will do this Conversion ! But it throws me an Exception like "Conversion Exception :" Cannot connect to Adobe Service "...!
Can u guys pls help me out to slove the problem ?
Thanks & Regards
Karthik.

you don't know the format of a word doc? well, that's good for you because it's a nightmare.
- check POI (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/index.html) to see if you can load-up the .doc then generate the .pdf with iText
- personally i use the Open Office Bean to open the .doc, i save it in .sxw (OO format which is a jar of different XML files), then i use XSLT to transform content.xml in .fo then use FOP to build the PDF. sounds crazy but works fine (only on a machine with graphic support - not via Telnet, etc...)
