Word document to pdf conversions

We have an application written in delphi. We need to develop an automated process to convert word documents to pdf format. I was wondering what was the best way to do this. Thanks.

The Acrobat SDK only offers that type of conversion API to plugins (written in C/C++).

Microsoft Document to PDF Conversion

How about being able to convert a microsoft doc with text boxes to pdf? Have yet to get it to work so it must not be available.

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 usually not cumulative so, using version 8 as an example, you must apply 8.1.0 before the 8.1.1 before the 8.1.2 update)

Changing the LiveCycle ES4 Launch Pad Output Folder for PDF Conversion

I have an instance of Adobe Live Cycle ES4 on WebSphere installed on a Windows 2008 R2 server. We're leveraging the Launch Pad desktop GUI as a PDF conversion tool for our end users. The document to PDF conversion functionality is working great but the converted PDF files are automatically being stored on the end user's "AcrobatHub" folder. Example: C:\Users\Jsmith\AcrobatHub.
How do I modify and change the default output location for converted PDFs?

Here is a sample for Tiff to PDF conversion using watched folder : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/samples/ServiceUsageSamplePDFGenConvertTiffToPDF .html

Hi David,
I see you are using the ExportPDF subscription. How large is your file?
Try these two items:
'Getting started guide'
OCR
Let me know if those help!

How Can I Keep Embedded Documents in a PDF Conversion of a Word Document?

I am running XP and using Word 2010. I have a document that contains embedded Word documents. I can convert the document to PDF but I loose the embedded documents when I do. Is there a way to keep them available in the PDF version? I can "attach" them, but don't know how to make those attachments obvious to a reader.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Something embedded in a Word file isn't going to migrate to PDF with the Word file's "page content".
If the embedded files are support use Acrobat to convert them to PDF.
Combine the PDFs.
Configure this PDF to open with the Bookmarks showing.
(Document Properties > Initial View)
Edit / add Bookmarks as desired.
Be well...

HT4356 How do you conver a Page document to PDF when there is no printer available

I purchased a $400 printer last year..now I cannot use it with my IPAD3 because it has to be an Air Print printer.
I need to convert my Page document to PDF and the only way to do that is to go to Print a document...but, when
I get there it tells me that I don't have a printer...Therefore, I cannot get to PDF conversion...
I thought Apple have an incredible group of smart software engineers ...what happened?
Now, I have to go and buy another $400 printer to be able to convert a document to PDF?
I bought this IPAD3 for my wife since she is not a computer expert but, so far I see that this is a product more compicated than a personal computer.
The hardware is great but, so far my wife has a hard time to use the Apps I got for this IPAD...I'm a software programmer working for a major computer company and I also have a hard time trying to get these functions to work...

Under "Share and Print", tap "Email Document", then choose PDF. Alternately, tap "Sent to iTunes", "Copy to iDisk", or "Copy to WebDAV" and then choose PDF...

Acrobat 9 HTML to PDF conversion sets all checkboxes to checked?

When I convert an HTML file that contains checkboxes to PDF using Acrobat 9 Standard or Pro (fully updated) on Windows XP SP3, all of the checkboxes end up checked in the resulting PDF. I've looked in settings menus but can't find anything that seems to be a relevant option to prevent this from happening. I've attached a simple test case .html file to this post that you can use to repeat the problem.
To convert the file, I right-click on the file in Windows Explorer, and click Convert to Adobe PDF. I've tried "printing" the document to the Adobe PDF printer, but that introduces other issues and is not really an acceptable solution.
Has anyone encountered this before, and/or have ideas how to fix it?

Input elements have no such inheritance on the checked attribute. Furthermore, the input elements in my test case are not grouped together. They are each encapsulated within separate list item elements, and so no inheritance should take place after the first input element.
Just for grins, I changed the order of the elements (moved the checked one below the unchecked one), but that did not make any difference in the Acrobat 9 HTML to PDF conversion.
I did test this with Acrobat 8 Standard, and the HTML to PDF conversion preserved the correct checked status of the input elements. It looks to me like this is a bug that was introduced in Acrobat 9.

I'm using Acrobat Disteller 7.0

I am not sure why you are talking about using Acrobat Distiller 7. But let me get back to the issue.
1. Select the Adobe PDF printer in the print menu. Then go back and check your document (WORD will reflow a document to best fit).
2. Check the paper size of the WORD document versus the PDF document. I suspect that you did not select the proper paper in the Adobe PDF printer properties. Maybe you are trying to use A4 and the paper in the printer is Letter.
3. You should either print to the Adobe PDF printer or use PDF Maker (the Adobe icon in WORD) to create the PDF. Do not print to file, just print to the printer and the conversion process should automatically be started.

Acrobat - Convert Office documents to PDF so that it is crawled/indexed by SharePoint search

Hi there,
This is a hybrid question between Acrobat and SharePoint and I'll post on both forums....
Background:
In a fairly complex application we have a publishing server that utilizes Acrobat to convert Office documents to PDF using the Convert to PDF functionality.
We then publish that PDF to a library in SharePoint. We would like to have those published PDFs searchable by SharePoint search. Unfortunately there is something about these PDFs where SharePoint cannot crawl the content.
Note: I do realize that PDFs are not indexable by SharePoint out of the box and I have installed and configured the iFilter utility. I have been able to index and search for other PDFs, so I know the mechanism works. It just seems to be these
particular PDFs.
I have also manually "Saved as PDF" directly from Word/Excel and those PDFs are crawled by SharePoint....it just seems to be when Acrobat does its conversion. I'm sure it's just a simple configuration somewhere... I just don't know what I'm
looking for.
Another note: When I open the published PDFs, I am able to use Acrobat's search to find the text.... and the text is selectable; so it's not as if the conversion changed it to an image.
So....would anyone happen to have encountered this issue? Or does anyone know what makes a PDF indexable by SharePoint search?
Thanks in advance

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that the PDFs which are converted from Office documents by Acrobat cannot be crawled in your SharePoint 2010.
For your issue, please make sure these PDFs version is 1.5(Acrobat 6.x) or above.
You can take steps as below for verifying:
Open your PDF using Adobe Reader.
Go to File -> Properties.
Check the PDF Version under Advanced section.

I am trying to convert a Microsoft Publisher Document to PDF but it fails every time although the reason is not clear. Any ideas?

I am trying to convert a Microsoft Publisher Document to PDF but it fails every time although the reason is not clear. Anyone else had problems like this and how do I solve it? Thanks. Ray

Hi raythree,
I'm sorry that your PDF conversion is working. Can you please tell me if you're getting a specific error message? Knowing that can help pinpoint the cause of the conversion failure. However, here are a couple of things that you could try:
Clear your browser cache (steps to do this vary by browser).
If you're using a work computer, check with your IT team to confirm if you have firewall/proxy settings that restrict the ability to upload files to the Internet.
Try another web browser. A list of supported browsers for accessing the ExportPDF service is available here: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/.
Also, note that there is a 100MB file size limit, so if your publisher file is larger than that, it won't upload to ExportPDF.
I hope this helps. But let us know if you need further assistance.
Best,
Sara

How to convert a word document to PDF from a criteria workflow

Hi,
How to create a new revision in PDF format from a word document inside a criteria workflow? The inbound refinery converts documents to PDF automatically upon check-in, but I want to make the conversion in a specific step of a workflow.
Thanks,
Miguel

You could write a custom service and execute it within the workflow script using the executeService Idoc function.

HTML to PDF conversion - problems with page-breaks and bookmarks

Hello,
My company is currently considering updating your software (from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat XI Pro) and I’ve been assigned to research its features and make sure that it is a right fit for our goals. Basically we want to automate the whole process as much as possible and we want to create PDF directly from HTML. We’re providing a lot of content in HTML and we need a fast way to transfer it into PDF format. There are however some guidelines:
We want page-breaks in is this kind of documents, and thus - your app needs to be able to interpret HTML and put them where we want to;
We need to have bookmarks in there. Converter must be able to make them based on headlines from HTML source or afterwards, directly in PDF by using some auto-bookmarks feature;
There has to be table of content generated, based on HTML Link Tags if possible. Here’s sample of TOC structure that we have currently:
<A NAME="redirect">sample_text</A>
<A HREF="#redirect">sample_text</A>
Of course we can modify HTML in any way you want us to. The important thing for us is to make it work in PDF without the need to make a lot of manual changes after conversion.
I’ve been messing with Acrobat 9 Pro and reading some documentation that you have provided and I’m convinced that point 3 is not a problem. I’m aware that Acrobat 9 Pro is not having any difficulties with links in document and they work fine in PDF format that has been created from HTML.
Page-breaks on the other hand are bothering me. Your app is apparently ignoring every HTML code that the Internet is advising me to use to force page-break where I want. Honestly - I’ve tested like ten ways to make them and not even one was working. That’s why I’m asking for your help.
Another problematic subject for me is the bookmarks creation. I know that they are not a problem if I’m doing DOC to PDF conversion. Then I’m able to decide what header should be used as a curtain level of bookmarks and everything is working great at the end. However - with direct HTML to PDF conversion - I really don’t know how to generate bookmarks that are based on the source of the input document. Is there any way to make fully working 2 level bookmark tree in this case? Here’s an example of the structure we want at the end:
header1
header2
header2
header1
header1
header2
Could you please help me in finding the solutions? Just like I’ve mentioned - we can modify input HTML in any way, but in the end we would like to achieve our goals as quickly as possible.
Please excuse my English.
I am looking forward to your response,
Lucas

Frankly - we would like to avoid using Word. We are using it currently but there are long-term plans of improving whole conversion process, eliminate any mid-steps and automate as much as possible even though conversion is not going to be done unattended on a server. Thank you for your response, but I hope that maybe someone else would have any idea?
