Drag PDF into MS Word (using Adobe Pro 8)

We have to create MS Word reports that contain PDF images. We don't want to make those PDF documents into OCR or editable content. In previous versions we could drag the unopened PDF file onto an empty MS Word page and the multiple page PDF would convert into one image per page. We can't do that with the new version, it will only give us the first page of the PDF as an image. Is there a way to do this now?

Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

  • How do I convert .pdf into searchable OCR using Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0?

    How do I convert .pdf into searchable OCR using Adobe Acrobat
    Capture 3.0?
    Our division is digitizing it's files, and we've been using
    Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (2). We've 'scanned-in' several hundred
    documents, but they have been saved as .pdf files (which are
    currently not 'searchable', as they are only scanned images).
    We just received the Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0 program, and
    we were told that we would be able to scan-in any new documents and
    save them both as .pdf and OCR documents (Optical Character
    Recognition). Therefore, we were told, we would be able to search
    through the body of the document, using OCR, and not just through
    the document filename, as we had been doing before.
    HOWEVER, we don't know how to use this new OCRing program.
    Also, we don't know how to convert the .pdf documents which we've
    already scanned into OCR recognizable documents.
    Is someone able to assist us here in this forum?
    Merci beaucoup / Shokran jazilan / Thank you very much!

  • Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

    Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

  • Techniques needed for Automated (OLE) PDF Creation from Word using Adobe 9

    My client currently uses Adobe 5, PDF Writer, Word and OLE automation to generate PDF files.  This is done on a server. A queue of Word documents are read. A watermark is added via a VB Macro. Then, also via a macro (below) a pdf file version of the Word doc  is generated. The pdf file is generated as temp.pdf, which the program uniquely renames later. 
    Unfortunately, Adobe 5 and PDF Writer cannot handle Chinese characters and now needs to.  Seems like the process  above cannot be the same with Adobe 9. How should I approach this server driven, pdf file generation from Word docs with Adobe 9? This is a 24 x 7 ongoing, 100s of documents a day process. It isn’t clear to me that PDF Writer is still an option.  With Adobe 9 installed on a client, it is possible to save a Chinese character Word document using the Adobe ‘Convert to PDF’ toolbar button
    Sub WritePdfFile()
        Windows(1).Activate
        ActivePrinter = "Acrobat PDFWriter"
        Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Item:= _
            wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:="", PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _
            Collate:=True, Background:=True, PrintToFile:=False
    End Sub

  • How to copy and paste a table and pictures from pdf files to word using MacBook pro 10.5.8

    Hi Guys,
    I want to copy tables out of a PDF document onto a word document. I only get the text and not the table when I copy and paste. I would also like to know how I can do the same with pictures or diagrams in PDF to word.
    Regards,
    Craig

    You can take picture of anyhting from any document using Command + Shift + 4. Hold all three at the same time and your mouse will turn into a little plus sign where you can then drag across anything you'd like to take picture of it. The picture will be placed on your desktop.
    See if that works for you.

  • Cannot convert pdf file to Word using Adobe ExportPDF online...I get a timeout error after a wait of about 15 minutes

    Oh...BTW...I am using Windows 7 with Chrome browser and I disabled text recognition.  The file is 3.7 MB.  It says it failed because it is taking too long to process however the Adobe export PDF notes that it can convert unlimited files to Word or Excel files.  Anything else I can try?  I exported it to Adobe.com and tried toconvert it there but it looks like the same process...and with the same result.

    Hi there,
    It sounds like there may be an issue with the quality of the PDF. Not all PDFs are created equal, and especially those created from scanned documents can be problematic if the scan quality isn't the best. Is there a dark background on the PDF, or stray marks or smudges?
    You can try converting with OCR disabled at outlined in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. But, while that's a good test to find out where the problem lies, you'll end up with a Word document that isn't editable, so it's not an optimal solution.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • I want to import a MS Word Index into a .pdf file using Adobe Pro.  How do I do that?

    I want to import a MS Word Index into a .pdf file using Adobe Pro. It is for a book.  The book has been converted to a .pdf for printing, but it needs an Index for the last page of the book.  I tried to embed a new index (starting from scratch but no luck.  Any suggestions?  Thank you for your time.

    Now I want to search this "myArrayStrings.get(r)" in another file. How to do that?Store the returned String. Do the same thing you did to read the first file to read the second file (i.e. read it in line-by-line and store the lines in a list). Then check if that list contains the String you stored from the first list.
    E.g. (using your code):
    String name = myArrayStrings.get(r); // assuming r is initialized somewhere before this
    if ( otherList.contains( name ) ) { // assuming otherList is your second list
        // do something
    }

  • Hello, is there a way to redact a word or item from a pdf using adobe pro X the same way you can if you convert a word doc using pro X on a pc?

    hello, is there a way to redact a word or item from a pdf using adobe pro X the same way you can if you convert a word doc using pro X on a pc?

    If the document is not a scanned image or protected from editing then you should be able to edit it. I would have to guess you have a scan and when you converted to Word, you ran OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on it converting the scanned image to live text.
    This is the forum for the free Adobe Reader which can not edit or redact.

  • How do I speed up the conversion of a PDF to Word using Adobe ExportPDF?

    How do I speed up the conversion of a PDF to Word using Adobe ExportPDF?

    Believe me, we ALL know what you are going through!
    You CAN develop your slideshow directly in iDVD and you can have multiple songs (I just figured this out myself just now! LOL). I will walk you through the process.
    Firstly, open a new project in iDVD.
    Then press the + button (bottom left hand side) and add slideshow and a heading "My Slideshow" will show up on your iDVD screen. Then, go into your media and press photos, and drop your folder of photos into the "My Slideshow" button (if you havent put your folders into a new album in iPhoto, now is the time to do this).
    Now double click on your My Slideshow button and all your photo's should come up. Down the bottom of this page you will see some options. Slide Duration, Transition etc. Again, go into your media and select audio. Go through your playlist and hold down the apple button (next to space bar left hand side) and select the songs you want to play with your slides then drag them across to the audio button (it automatically changes the slideshow to fit to audio). The only problem I can see with this is that there is considerable "dead" time between tracks which means some slides show without music. You can easily solve this by going into Garage Band and trim off the excess "dead" time at the end of each track. If you have problems with this I can talk you through that too if you would like.
    Oh and I think i read somewhere that 99 photos is the maximum you can have in iPhoto?? That could be what is causing your problem. You could always break it down in to 2 separate slide shows?

  • Using Adobe Pro X I cannot create a PDF from a web page.

    After a recent upgrade from a previous version of Firefox, I am now unable to create a PDF from a web page using the Adobe Pro toolbar on the web page.  A "save as" box appears and then the conversion process dies.  I can print the page using Adobe Pro as my printer and it works fine. I can create other docs with Adobe Pro.   How do I fix this on my browser?
    Thanks.
