Embedded objects when converting a word document

Hello ng,
a word document contains other documents as embedded objects shown as a symbol. When converting this document with Acrobat Standard or Professional the symbols are converted as non functional picture. So the embeddes document can't be opened.
So here's my question: Is it possible to convert embedded objects shown as symbol to functional embedded object within PDF?
Example is shown below.
Many thanks!
Susanne

It cannot be done. For all intents remember that creating the pdf is akin to printing the document out. If you were to print document to your printer, you would not expect to be able to click on the paper to launch the object. Now it is true that one can have things like hyperlinks preserved, but specialized coding was created for this functionality and is not available in all applications nor on all platforms. However, your wish is a reasonable feature request. I suggest you might ask here:

  • Converting a word document to pdf loses bevel effect

    Does anyone know why when converting a word document to pdf the bevel effect is completely lost?

    Following up with AA XI and WORD 2010 on Win7. It worked find. Apparently WORD 2007 did not see the bevels and the do appear in WORD 2010. I also got the bevels using the Std job settings with both the Print and the PDF Maker. I am using 11.0.07, so if you are using an earlier version, you might consider updating to the most current version. Then again, you may not be using XI. I did note that the Print version used my default page size of letter rather than the A4 that PDF Maker picked up from the original document. That is easy to correct by paper selection in the printer properties. However, in both versions I saw issues that appear to be due to the printer metrics changes based on the Adobe PDF printer not being selected as the printer during editing. Two factors show up and make editing a bit harder -- no hard page breaks (ctrl-Enter) and the use of floating figures. The latter is something I have lots of problems with, but you may be good with them. However, when the document reflows that can still be a problem. I did see some reflow problems in both files, so it is something you need to go back and review.
    The bevels:
    The Reflow Problem (from PDF Maker on A4 paper):
    Maybe that helps some. So info on your versions of WORD, Acrobat, and OS would help isolate issues. As I mentioned, this Acrobat is 11.0.07. Don't know why WORD 2007 did not see your bevels.

  • Trying to converting fillable word documents to fillable pdf-when opening in Reader, no longer fillable

    I am converting fillable word documents (set up as tables with protection activated) into fillable pdf forms using LiveCycle but am having problems once I try to open them in Adobe Reader 9.2. I am unable to save the pdf as dynamic (the only option is static). They are no longer fillable and show "You are viewing this document in PDF/A mode".  Any advise...what am I doing wrong?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem.
    I check my settings and I don't ask a PDF/A files. It's a PDF standard.
    Have someone a solution ?
    Thanks a lot for your help

  • Can't create hyperlinks after converting a Word document with Acrobat XI Pro

    Hello,
    Here's my problem.
    I'm making a catalog document for my company.
    The document that I'm converting to PDF is made on Office Word 2013 and it's a .docx format file.
    I'm on Windows 8 and the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installed.
    Inside my word document I have some pictures that have a hyperlink. Those hyperlinks directionate to a bookmark inside the word document. Inside the word document, if I do Ctrl+Click over the image, it will go to the page that has that bookmark. And it works. Period.
    Beside that I also have some Cross-references on the word document. Those cross-references basically are the page number from the bookmark reference. By accident on most of those cross-refrences I left enabled the "Insert as hyperlink" on the cross-reference box options. When I Ctrl+Click over those cross-references I also go into the page of that cross-reference.
    After I convert the word document into pdf, I can't get any hyperlink on the pictures, if I simply click on them, like if I click on a hyperlink on a webpage or something similar, the pdf won't go the the bookmark on the page that I've set on the word document.
    The funny thing is that if I click on the other cross-references I can go to the page were that cross-reference is...
    I tried all the methods to convert the file in order to obtain hyperlinks on the images...
    I tried to use the Acrobat tab and the File -> Save as Adobe PDF, as both uses Acrobat PDFMaker, but nothing works.
    Even tried all options on Acrobat PDFMaker but can't get it. "Create bookmarks", "Add links", "Convert Word Bookmarks", "...Word Styles to Bookmarks", "...Word Headings to Bookmarks", none works....
    If I try to simply print from inside Word by choosing the Adobe PDF printer (like if I choose a regular printer), in the printers options it doesn't show up any hyperlink/link/bookmark option related, so that way is definitely a no go...
    To reference, on 2006/2007 I also worked on a similar project and used this method on the word document (on Word 2003). At that time I had another Adobe Acrobat version, can't remember what version was...
    This hyperlink situation was without any problem. After conversion, on the pdf file, if I click on a image it went to the right place inside that pdf file...
    So I'm simply lost wether it's a problem of me, a problem of Word, a problem from Acrobat... simply lost...
    I'm desperated....please, someone help me!!!

    Ok, sorry for never talk since the last time, but I finally discovered why I had this problem.
    I found out that M$ decided somehow to change the process of embedded hyperlinks on a image, but in a docx it doesn't get affected. Only after transforming it into a pdf by Acrobat that the problem emerges...
    I found this site http://www.pb-solv.net/2013/08/embed-pictures-in-microsoft-word.html
    Basically all I have to do is "Use Insert, Quick Parts, Field, IncludePicture. This inserts the picture in the old way as a field. You can use Alt-F9 to reveal the field codes and change the images to be embedded rather than linked."
    Then, after converting it with acrobat, the pdf finally have hyperlinks on the images!!!
    They change this on Word 2007. As I had the 2003, at the time, I didn't had this problem.
    As I said, M$ changed something, but only is affected after converting with acrobat. So, acrobat also missed something in the process. I call it a 50/50 guilt.
    To bad no one ever notice this problem...

  • How to maintain original lines when converting a word file in a PDF

    Unfortunately the table lines often change when converting a word file in a PDF, e.g. dotted/broken lines into straight lines or different kinds of broken lines. How can I maintain the original lines when converting the documents?
    Many thanks in advance for your advice.
    Li Li

    Hello,
    Ok, this is the background.
    I’m a publisher. Any document to end user will go as pdf. And off course it preserves the word appearance. We ship our manuals only in pdf.  At this point my end users have to copy the “CODES” into his editor to run the product.  So when doing it, the “Codes” copied from pdf to his editor loses its format.  Editor need not be the actual one; you can also test in a notepad.
    P.S: You can find the difference by copying the code from word to notepad and pdf to notepad
    Hope you now understood the purpose what I’m looking at for.

  • Link problem when converting MS Word to PDF with Acrobat Professional

    Hello all,
    I have the following problem:
    When I have a MS Word document with links to other files inside and I convert it to PDF the links are converted from relative paths to absolute paths.
    The problem is created by Acrobat as the links in the MS Word file are relative (I have checked this by moving the different docs to another directory and confirmed that the links still work after the move).
    How can I make the paths in the PDF relative again? I know there is a plugin from Evermap (and I can confirm this works) but I do not want to use this plugin (=read: spend another $190 dollars) as the license for the Acrobat Professional is expensive enough . Is there a way I can convert the paths within Adobe Acrobat easily? Or better: can I adjust the settings in Acrobat to a new standard when all converted documents contain relative paths?
    Backgroundinfo:
    - Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
    - Windows XP (SP2)
    - MS Word 2002
    Thanks in advance!

    Dear Steve,
    I have tried what u suggested: I put all the documents (word + linked documents) into the same folder on the local-drive (C). Then I recreated the links  in the word document to be sure they were matching. After that I converted the word document to an PDF and confirmed the links were still working in the PDF document.
    Then the biggest challenge: copying the pdf and linked documents to another drive&directory. As you can guess: Unfortunately the links did not work anymore.
    Any other suggestions?
    If I use the Evermap-tool (30 day-trial) I can look at the links and this is how it is 'coded' in the pdf.
    first link: ../../../../test/link_a.pdf
    second link: ../../../../test/link_b.pdf
    and yes this will work if you put the documents in the directory test in the root of the local-drive but not in a different subdirectory.
    Anyone ideas?
    Grtz,
    Bart

  • 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.

  • How to convert a Word Document to SAP SCript standard text.

    Hi team,
    Does any one know how to convert a word document or text in Word format to standard text.
    So that we can use that standard text in Script output.
    This might be very useful if we need to convert a lot of text into standard text.

    Hi,
    Create the name of the standard text you want in SO10.
    When the editor is called up, select Text -> Upload and then browse for your file(s). Must be saved in RTF format in Word remember.

  • Convert Multiple Word Documents to Multiple PDFs

    Hi, I'm looking for a way to convert multiple word documents into PDF files. I'm running Adobe Acrobat 3D Version 8.1.2. It seems as if going to Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing and then using the Print All sequence will allow this to happen, but when I have selected the word documents I want to turn into PDFs, after I click "Run Sequence" I get a message in the progress window saying "Starting the application in which the file was created..." then Acrobat shuts down and nothing happens. Does anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening?
    Thanks!

    Hi "jhaystead",
    Apologies for making an incorrect suggestion. "Batch Conversion" is a feature in Acrobat 9 and above.
    I'd suggest you use the "Open All" sequence > Double-click it to EDIT > For "2. Run Command On:" choose "Selected Folder" and BROWSE to the input folder. Similarly for "3. Select Output Location", you can choose "Same Folder as Original(s)", click OK and then "Run Sequence".
    This would invoke the PDFMaker for conversion of Word documents to PDF and save the output PDF(s) at the folder mentioned, instead of printing and prompting to save the output each time Adobe PDF Printer is called.
    Plus, could you please check if the Adobe PDF toolbar/menu options are there in Word and working fine?
    When you said,
    "The only way I can get PDFs produced is to manually open each word document, then save it as a PDF. I haven't had any luck with multiple PDF creation." Were you printing the Word documents to Adobe PDF Printer or using the PDFMaker options?
    Thanks!

    Thanks Bill for your reply.
    I am using Acrobat XI, just downloaded it and Word 2003.  There are no punctuations on my form, I just hit return to go to the next lines. 
    I put in a little square check box and that is also causing issues.  I checked to make sure the field codes are off on the original word doc. 
    I did try from the printer to save and adobe and I get the same codes.  Other people that I work with are able to get my document to save correctly in acrobat with the same versions of word and XI. 
    It has to be some small setting on my computer.

  • How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site

    How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
    site with Dreamweaver 4?. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

    First you need to install a means of printing to pdf from word.  I like cutepdf writer ( http://cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp ).  Once installed you will print the doc in word and under the printer selection you choose pdf.
    Once you have the file you put it in your local site folders and upload it using Dreamweaver.  Be sure to link to it from a page so users can get to it and I would recommend giving the link a target of _black so it will open in a new window (see the properties inspector in DW).
