Embedding Microsoft Office Documents into a PDF

Hi Everyone,
Do any of you know if it's possible to embed Microsoft Word
or Excel documents into a PDF as an icon which when clicked will
open in the relevant application?
Thanks

You can attach word files to PDF files using Acrobat 8. For
more details see the user guide.
This forum is for acrobat.com. Questions related to Acrobat
8/9 etc can be posted on the Acrobat forums

Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office Document to a PDF using the Context Menu?

Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office 2013 Document to a PDF using the options found in the Context Menu? (Ex: Convert to PDF, Combine Supported Files into PDF?)
I updated to Acrobat XI PRO recently, but now i'm unable to combine or convert microsoft word docs to PDF.
In Adobe Acrobat X I had this feature below, and it would combine Microsoft Office Documents all into a single PDF. Now I no longer have this issue in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. It seems like it was program named Adobe Elements that was running the conversion.

Ajlan. That page is showing as not available. Would the fix apply to Adobe Acrobat X and XI?

Microsoft Office documents cannot be selected for combination into a PDF.

I have reinstalled Acrobat Pro XI twice. Version of Office is 2010 32-bit. See screenshot below. Office documents are not available as supported at all.

Hello acsmacsmacsmacsm,
if I understand you in the right way, you want to convert a WORD document into a pdf file. With my AA XI Pro it was not a problem, it did a correct job.
Please have a look there Word to PDF converter, convert Word doc to PDF | Adobe Acrobat XI (Convert Word to PDF for reliable viewing >>> When you use Acrobat XI to convert a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file to PDF, people will see it just like you sent it — whether they're viewing it on a computer, tablet, or smartphone)
... and if still necessary you could use the 30 days trial to find out the functions. >>> Try Acrobat XI for 30 days >>> (click) Free trial

Microsoft Office Documents in iCloud CAN Be Done...

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my experience as I've seen threads saying it can't be done and a lot of people confused as to, why not? Here's my method of working so hopefully everyone can enjoy this feature like I am. The image below IS a Word document but it's for my solicitor so has personal info on it.
Just list a few specs I'm using as the system layout might be different to yours;
OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac
MacBook Pro Mid 2009 model
Step 1: Test Document
Go to Applications and open up 'TextEdit' and click the bottom left hand corner which states 'New Document' and type whatever you want, maybe 'test text'. Go to save and choose a name to save the document under BUT in the field where it says 'Where' choose iCloud... There's a method to my working.
Step 2: Finding the 'Hidden' Library folder in Finder and Mobile Documents
Click 'Finder' and at the top menu bar find 'Go' and click that, with your finger on the options key simultaneously (my keyboard states 'alt' and has the squiggle for Options) then you should see Library pop up, click that. A whole new 'screen' should pop up and scroll down until you find 'Mobile Documents'. Open it up and this is where ALL the iCloud content is saved so don't try and delete or change too much in here if you can help it. Go to the 'com~apple~TextEdit' folder and you should see your STEP 1 test document in there... So, we know it works now? Keep this open for the time being so you don't have to route through again...
Step 3: Putting Microsoft Office Documents in iCloud
Choose what WORD (Pages), EXCEL (Numbers) or POWERPOINT (Keynote) document you want to save in iCloud and open that document up as normal (so in Microsoft Office). Click SAVE AS and here's a pictured example below, save the document as .docx and save. You'll now have TWO of the same documents I have one which is compatible with Mac & Windows but the second is JUST for Mac (I believe) and this .docx is the one you'll need for iCloud.
Step 4: Putting the Word or Document into iCloud
Go back to your Finder window which has the Mobile Documents but then go to File > New Finder Window (So you have them side by side like the picture) > Locate your .docx Saved document and all you need to do is drag that file to the area you want it to go. So, if it's a 'Word' document you'll want to go to Pages as its equivalent. Open up the com~apple~Pages folder and you'll get two other folders and open the one on the left and drag the file into there.
Step 5: Check it's actually in iCloud...
Go to, www.icloud.com
Sign in with your ID etc. and it'll be in there... If you have Pages etc. on your iPhone or iPad... i believe it'll be in there but I haven't got these on my iPhone or iPad. let me know how you do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can share some word documents with pages on your iOS devices.

"Save as PDF" breaks up the document into multiple PDFs

Ever since my Lion install, when I open a doc in MSWord and try to "Save as PDF", it breaks up the document into multiple PDFs, not one saved PDF. Haven't seen this problem before. Anyone else experiencing this new "feature"?

What version of Word? It's working fine with my Word 2011 on Lion. (version 14.1.2. Applied SP1 and the .2 update.)
A workaround would be to print, then select the PDF dropdown in the lower corner of the print window.
Otherwise, you'll probably want to ask in the Microsoft forums, as Save As is using Word's programming code, not OSX's code like it does with the print function.

Can I read and edit microsoft office documents on my iPhone?

Can I read and edit microsoft office documents on my iPhone?
such us: word (.doc), excel (.xls), powerpoint (.ppt), etcetc...
Thanks!

Jay,
As taken from the [iPhone user manual|http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPhoneUserGuide.pdf]:
You can view attachments in both portrait and landscape orientation. If the format of an attached file isn’t supported by iPhone, you can see the name of the file but you can’t open it. iPhone supports the following email attachment file formats: .doc, .docx, .htm, .html, .pdf, .txt, .xls, .xlsx
At this time, there is no way to edit documents on the iPhone.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

Microsoft Office Document Imaging File

I have been using Photoshop Elements for several years. First Version 2 and now Version 7. Using XP64.
Now when I click on an edited file I get a reference to "Microsoft Office Document Imaging File". I did recently load in Microsoft Excel but am not understanding any relationship to Microsoft Office Document Imaging File. Does anyone have any words of wisdom?
Thanks
Bob AZ

R Kelly
Thanks for the reply and direction to continue.
I spent some time trying to determine how MS Office 2003 entered into
PhotoShop Elements 7.0. Apparently MS Office gets into whatever it wants to. I
tried to delete just the MS Document Imaging but all XP64 will allow is the
deletion of the shortcut to MS Office Document Imaging. There are also 5
other MS Office applications. The only other option was to completely delete
Microsoft Office which would have wiped out Excel as well. I would like to
keep Excel.
So I went to the All Programs option selected by Start, opened Microsoft
Office 2003, selected Microsoft Office Tools and deleted it. I restarted
twice and then started Photoshop Elements. In the Edit mode I selected a
current folder and file, and the File Type still comes up as Microsoft Document
for any edited files. If the file is an original file it comes up as a CR2
type file. As usual.
When I double click on Excel it comes up as usual. Wants me to register
after 40 uses. When I double click on a file the image comes up for whatever
I would like to do.
I guess all this is OK for now but it bugs me that MS can get into Adobe
PhotoShop Elements and do what it wants to do. I suspect that the opposite
is not possible.

Issue while converting a word document into a PDF using PDF Maker Plug-In

Dear All,
When I try to convert certain set of microsoft office document files of version 2003, I get an error message/ Exception thrown from the PDF Maker Plug-in, the snap shot of the exception is attached below,
please suggest...
Note:

Hi Amith,
What version of Office are you running? I understand you have Office 2003 Documents, however, is this the same version of Office you are running on the system?

How to convert a protected document into a PDF?

Hello,
I need to develop a plugin that needs to convert a protected document in office format into a pdf. I looked into the sdk and found the method AVConversionConvertToPDFWithHandler (). But can this method also apply the digital rigths of the protected document to the newly created pdf?
Is there any other way to convert a protected document into a pdf and at the same time apply the rights to the pdf? I don't want to use Adobe LiveCycle for digital rights management.
What are the requirements to develop a DRM plugin for acrobat?
Please Help!
Thanks in advance!

The AVConversion APIs will use Office itself to perform the conversion (well, the rendering part). I would ASSUME that when Office opens the document, it will ask for any necessary passwords or other information to determine if the user has the rights to view and/or process the content of the document. If they do, then the conversion will succeed otherwise it will fail. The PDF will not have any DRM applied to it, since we don't know anything about the Office DRM options.
If you wish to apply DRM to the PDF, you will need to do that yourself or using tools such as LiveCycle Rights Management.

Microsoft Office Document Imaging on OS X?

I have been using Windows / Office for some time now and have quite a large collection of digital documents I created using "Microsoft Office Document Imaging".
Is this tool part of Office 2008 for the Mac?
or
Is there a similar tool I can use to manage & modify my existing collection of tiff digital documents?
Thanks!
PS: My scanner is a Canon LiDE 25 and after a couple of kicks at the can appears to be working quite nicely with image capture.

Most of my documents are currently in jpeg or pdf. A friend recommended putting them in tiff using Microsoft Office Document Imaging. I have a 2001 version of Office on my Macbook which doesn't include MODI but this discussion seems to indicate that Adobe Acrobat works the same way (which I do have). I'm a genealogist so I have scanned or photographed images of historical documents, wills, deeds, etc. as well as photographs and would like to know the best way to format them without taking up huge amounts of space on my computer. I don't want to just put them on disks or flash drives because I want the images linked to the source list in my genealogy software (Reunion).

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

Is there a way to save and view Microsoft Office documents on the iPhone?

I have just transitioned from a Blackberry to an iPhone 4 for business. On the Blackberry I was able to save and open Microsoft Office documents such as Word, Excel etc. do I have this capability on the iPhone and if so, what is the app required to do so?

I can't even begin to guess what your needs are. I'm sure my needs are significantly different. Look at the features, read the reviews, and decide.
This is a technical support forum for the iPhone. We're not here to make recommendation on 3rd party products.

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).
