Embedded spaces in words

I am using Adobe Reader Version 9.4.5. When I select, copy and paste certain content from a pdf file into another tool, say MSWord, Outlook, or even into Adobe Reader's seach box, the words sometimes include embedded spaces. For example, the word "enterprise" is used many times in the document I'm reading. However, when I select, copy and paste content that includes that word it sometimes appears as "enterprise", sometimes as "enter prise", and sometimes as "enterp rise", etc. This means I cannot reliably search for the word "enteprise" and find all the instances because some have embedded spaces. For example, I'll select, copy and paste one of the offending words "enterprise" right here:
enterpr ise
See how it has the embedded space?
How can I eliminate these embedded spaces so I successfully search the document and find all the instances of the desired word, even though some instances have the embedded space?
Thanks for your help.

Are you using a fancy, custom font downloaded from some free
font website?... your problem sounds like there's simply no space
character... the box is the default 'character glyph' used when the
nothing exists at the position in the font file.

Property Loader with Excel spreadsheet embedded into a Word doc

I know I can load test limits from an Excel doc using Property Loader but can I load test limits from an Excel table embedded in a Word document? Has anyone ever done this?

Jules,
I looked into how this could be accomplished, and it doesn't look like it is possible using off the shelf methods. Please if anyone figures out how to do that, i would strongly encourage you to write a Community Example . I think your closest work around would be to have the excel document linked in the word document http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA101208101033.aspx . Unfortunately in this situation, the excel file is still seperate from the word doc, and anyone reading the word doc would have to open the excel through the link to view its contents. Also if you move the document, you have to remember to move or change the path of the link. What is your motivation behind having the Excel Spreadsheet in a word document? I agree it would be a novel Idea, but as of now when you copy the object into the word document, it gets encapsulated by the .doc or .docx, and there is no clean easy way I have found to abstract it out. I also looked into the potential of dynamically linking the excel spreadsheet and word document, so when you would update one...it would update the other automatically, unfortunately this functionality doesn't exist (that I could find). Sounds like a pretty good product suggestion for microsoft though ; ) Keep me updated if you find a better work-around.

Find space between word with different endings and digit

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to find spaces between word and digit.
I am limited to use only word 'WORD' (either capital or small caps) with different endings like -ing -s -y and more (using \S+).
I wrote something like (?i)(?<=WORD\S+)\s(?=\d+) but this does not seem to work due to some limitation of lookahead I belive?
Any suggestions?
Peter

… find what: (\<WORD\S+)(\s)(?=\d)

Hmmh?
Your Grep do not find your first example: WORD 0,2 (WORD without any ending)
And you don't need the second ()
And please do not use \S
Use this instead:
(\<WORD\l*)\s(?=\d)
(l is the little L)
Have fun

Embedded Space in E-mail Address

Our shop sometimes embeds a space in the names for their e-mail addresses (e.g., ABC [email protected]). When adding another row to the Oracle 9i Enterprise Manager Grid Control General Preferences screen, this example e-mail address splits into two invalid e-mail addresses, ABC and [email protected], when applied to this screen. I have tried single and double quotes around the name with the embedded space and around the entire e-mail address with the same result. How can e-mail addresses with an embedded space in the name be entered into this screen?

According to RFC 5322 section 3.4.1 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4.1) whitespace is allowed in a quoted string. Thus if the email address "ABC DEF"@xyz.org is not accepted as email address in GC please raise an SR with Oracle Support.
Kind regards,
Frank

Converting Embedded fonts in Word 2010

Need help converting Word 2010 doc to pdf. Doc has an embedded font that is not installed on my computer. Tried doc in PDF complete and the font converts to PDF fine, but the quality output is a little blurry in heighest print quality. Is there a way Acrobat XI Pro can convert so I can get a sharp quality readable document?

I am assuming the font is embedded in the WORD file. I would hope that just printing would include the font unless it is not licensed for embedding (something that MS might likely ignore, but Adobe does not). What version of Acrobat are you working with and what OS? You can check for embedding in the document properties font tab (ctrl-D).

Sapscript - Repited spaces between words

Hi friends.
I'm working on a ZMEDRUCK sapscript and when printing a line item, the item text (field EKPO-TXZ01) is being printed with spaces between words.
E.g.:
Original value in EKPO-TXZ01: material test.
Printed: material ...(two or more spaces)... test.
This also happened with other text variable, but stopped happen when I formated with <K> text </>.
But in this case, its not working. I'm using standard IT Paragraph format.
What to do to take out the repited spaces ?

Hi Atul.
I have already tested (C) statement in this variable and performs too.
There are more texts with same problem. Literal words have same problem too in address in the header.
I've already tryied copting standards paragraphs too, but without sucess.
A friend concultant said to me to make a test with a new paragraph with LEFT alignment only and LEFT alignment to all tabulators. I'll try that once and give feedback here.
Any other idea ?
thanks.

Indesign/Acrobat PDF - embedded link file(word, excel, pdf)

Hi,
In the microsoft word, we can embedd, the pdf, word or excel files as link, so that when you click the embedded file (for eg. if you click the pdf icon of embedded file in word, the pdf file will open, as same as the word files and excel files will open) . There is will no seperate link files will be there. (so from a word doc embedded with pdf files and excel files will be opened from the word itself)
Is there any option to do like this in Indesign or Pdf, where we can embedd the Link files inside the indesign, without linking the files from the hard dirve or server.
Any idea about this? You people understand what i am trying to say?

Acrobat Pro has an Attachements navigation panel that you can add (embed) files that will open in their native application when clicked to open.
InDesign can do something similar... you can embed files via the Links panel... you can also edit original (but you might need to unembed it first.
Not on a computer with InDesign right now, I will check tommorrow.

Office 2010 spaces between words not consistent

Hello all,
I recently switched from Office 2003 to Office 2010. Since the switch I notice that the spaces between words are not consistent in length.
I selected the spaces individually and even in the selection you see differences in the size of the spaces.
This example is from a PPT using Ariel, 18 font size.
Things I've tried so far:
I've tried disabling kerning, but that makes the font look really bad. I also tried adjusting the character spacing and while this does solve the issue on an individual basis, I don't have the time to go over every space in a document or presentation to fix
this issue.
The text is aligned left and I've verified that there is only one space between the words.
I tried the same document on 2 different pc's. One of Windows 7, the other on Windows 8.1. Both have this issue with Office 2010. 2 Different computers using Office 2013 do not have this spacing issue.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue with Office 2010? Is there a fix?
Thanks in advance,
Zjef

Hi Zjef,
Generally, in Word, spaces should be consistent for all texts, unless you have your paragraph set to "Justify" which means to stretch out the text to fill the entire space within the margin.
So please first check if you have this option selected for your text.
Also, have you ever tried to print it out and check if it's the same as on the screen? Sometime word will adjust the space to improve document readability, which vary by screen sizes, video cards, etc.

How can i write with double spaces between words ?

hello everyone,
i need to write in pages with double spaces between words not between lines ..
how can i do it and make it default ?
for now, just write and click space bar twice ..!!!

Do you really need to do this? It is so ugly and illegible.
You can use a monospace font or use the auto-complete in Menu > Pages > Preferences to auto-substitute 2 spaces for each one.

Cannot open pdf file embedded in MS Word

I cannot open pdf documents embedded in a Word document. 'the error message given when I click on the pdf file is
"Word cannot locate the server application for
ArcoExch.document.11 objects"

Probably the wrong forum.
I guess your best bet is to extract the pdf file from Word, and then open it.
Make sure you have Adobe Reader or similar installed for reading the pdf.

When opening a word doc in pages i am loosing the graphic images from powerpoint that were embedded in the word doc

When opening a word doc in pages i am loosing the graphic images from powerpoint that were embedded in the word doc

Are the images placed in a table? Many Word user have the habit of doing that. Tables are not handles the same way in Word and Pages so they get "hidden" in Pages. One way to find this out is to change the size of the paper of the document. You do that in the Page setup in the file menu. Create a document that is much longer that the default one and see if you images will pp up.

Regular expression to replace "emtpy space" ( ) bitween words with +

Hallo!
When I wish to find in code something like this:
12144541 FirstWord SecondWord
regular expression for that is:
(\d{1,100})[\s-]\D{1,100}[\s-]\D{1,100}
Now, please help me tu find regular expression to replace
"emtpy space" ( ) bitween words with +
12144541 FirstWord SecondWord to become
12144541+FirstWord+SecondWord
Thank you very, very, very much!

A simple-minded solution is to use \s to match all
whitespace; e.g. find \s and replace with +. DW CS3, at least, is
smart enough to not replace end of line characters with the '+'
character if you limit your search & replace to text.

Maintaining embedded objects from Word document

I have a Word document with embedded objects (other word & pdf files) which are clickable links to these files displayed as icons.
How can I maintain these clickable icons when converting to a pdf.
Thank you!

Have you created the file using the PDF printer or the PDFMaker plugin? You need to use the latter.
