EMF graphics demaged in PDF created in Word 2010 with Acrobat X Pro,

We export EMF from a modelling tool and insert the EMF graphics in Word (see Word window). Creating a PDF with Acrobat X Professional leads to a damaged graphic (see Acrobat window). It was no problem in the Word 2003 & Acrobat 7 Pro "suite"...
What can I do to get embedded EMF graphics as before?

Hi pwhite2315,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Try using 'Create PDF' option under Acrobat ribbon in your word file and check for the same.
Also, please open 'Preferences' for Acrobat PDFMaker and check what 'Conversion Settings' have you selected.
Let me know.

  • PDF initially freezes when opening with Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat Reader

    Hi-
    Every time I open a pdf, either with Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat Reader, it freezes the application for about 10-15 seconds.  Afterwards, it's fine.
    Any suggestions?
    Im running XP Pro, 3.25GB of RAM

    Any chance you are also using Quickbooks?  I understand from Intuit that there is a known issue between  Quickbooks and Acrobat 9.  My computer does the same exact thing and I am running Quickbooks Pro 2009. Windows XP Pro 64-bit.  According to the forums on Intuit, the same problem does not exist with Acrobat 8.  So, you have to uninstall Acrobat 9 then in stall 8.  The problem is that the uninstall does not completely uninstall 9 so you can't install 8 successfully.  Apparently Adobe has an uninstaller that will remove ALL of Acrobat 9 but you have toi get it from tech Support - if you can find one that speaks English well enough to understand what the problem is and what you need. Then you need to find a copy of 8 to use.
    The problem is not in opening Acrobat.  It opens just fine.  It doesn't lock up until you open a PDF file.

  • Lines in shaded table cells do not render properly in pdf created in Word 2010

    When creating a pdf with shaded table cells using MS Word 2010; the black lines in the shaded table cells do not show up when looking at the page at a fit page view (anything under  around 60%). They print, they are there when I zoom in, but will not show up if you zoom out.
    I read a forum post in Adobe here which gave some really logical suggestions, but they didn't seem to work for everyone or the level of effort was not what i can put into it. I also tried some of those and variations of those; but they didn't seem to work.

    Did anyone come up with a solution? Some people were saying it's a bug in pdf software, if that is the case, has anyone heard of a resolution?
    I'm using Windows 7 and word 2010 btw, to create the pdf.
    Thanks!!

    Just as a test, have you tried the MS plugin for PDF creation? I have found with other versions of WORD and Acrobat that PDF Maker and the MS plugin can both fill in dots and dashes on vector graphics (basically what the border is) and yet it comes out correctly with printing to the Adobe PDF printer. Unfortunately I do not have a solution. In my case, it seemed to be related to the vector graphic itself (I could import it to InkScape or other vector graphic tool and save to EMF and it then worked fine. It may be something that MS themselves have messed up in OFFICE 2013. Good luck.

  • Some links look clickable but don't work - Word 2010 with Acrobat PDF creation

    Windows 7
    Latest Acrobat subscription
    Word - Office home and student 2010
    I can create PDFs via Acrobat and Word on Windows 7,  but after editing the PDF with Acrobat on Mavericks OS X, only in-document links remain clickable. External web hyperlinks, both exposed URLs and blue text with URLs hidden under link text do not work in the PDFs that are edited on MacOS. They look like they work, because in the PDFs the hand cursor appears and you can click the links, but nothing happens in the browser.
    I can't find any troubleshooting information about this.
    My process:
    Word: Options: Advanced - remove check in "use ctrl-click to follow hyperlinks"
    Convert file using the Acrobat tab in the Word ribbon.
    Set compatibility to Acrobat 8
    Create PDF (icon)
    Click Options
    Check "create bookmarks"
    Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks
    Accept defaults, which are:
    Convert document information
    Enable Accessiblity
    Reflow the tagged Adobe PDF.
    The PDF is converted. Links all seem to work as expected.
    Take the PDF to MacOS Mavericks, add pages, optimize, using Acrobat on MacOS.
    Afterward, only some kinds of links in the PDF work.
    This is a new problem that seemed to start when I recently began to use Acrobat's subscription version on Windows instead of FoxIt to convert the Word docs on Windows.
    Q: Is this a known limitation that MacOS Acrobat creates unusable links despite the initial PDF conversion being done on Windows Acrobat?
    Q: Should I do something additional so that external links remain clickable after processing on MacOs?
    Thanks for any clues.

    Thanks for your reply.
    After some experimentation, it seems that the place where *some* links stop working is when I take a PDF file from Windows and optimize it on MacOS with Mac Acrobat Pro. All the links work *except* the kind where the URL is hidden behind blue underlined text. These look like they work but when you click them nothing happens.
    So to fix it, I think I need to optimize the PDFs on Windows Acrobat Pro.
    The MacOs Acrobat Pro, which I paid many hundreds of dollars for is therefore completely useless for documents with this kind of normal hypertext link.
    Also, Windows Acrobat Pro is required in order to ensure that table-of-contents links made in Word (MacOS) continue to work in the PDF. The trick there is to regenerate the TOC on Windows Word before using CreatePDF to convert it.
    I hope someone else benefits from this insight, because I wasted weeks of my life trying to troubleshoot this undocumented problem.

  • 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...

  • Problems opening PDFs from SharePoint 2010 with Acrobat X Pro

    Is anyone else having problems integrating pdf document support into Sharepoint 2010?
    I now have the icon showing for any pdf documents saved in a Document Lirary, However I don't get the options of Checking out - editing an checking in. There is also no revision control. I think that when I open a pdf document, the servers own copy of Adobe Reader opens, and not my local copy of Reader or Acrobat X pro.
    I've done what it says in the Administrators guide for Sharepoint integration and I'm still unable to get this functionality to work. As we use interactivve pdfs for a lot of our internal documentation the pdf integration features are very important.
    Any help from users who have already been through the pain of sharepoint integration would be really appreciated.
    Regards.

    Hi Bill,
    Looking at your initial problem of not being able to open the SharePoint hosted PDF document from the web browser.
    Could you please verify that as per the "Enterprise Administration Guide", the DocIcon.xml file of your server contains the following line:
    <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="AdobePDF.png" OpenControl="AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments"/>
    Please verify that the OpenControl attribute is also mentioned correctly. Without this the Acrobat Active X component would not be invoked.
    thanks,

  • How can I correct spacing issues in PDFs created from Word 2010?

    I have already changed settings to Press Quality as well as embedded all fonts possible yet I am unable to fix this error.
    As an example of what occurs throughout the PDF after conversion please see the image on the left (Original DOCX) and the image on the right (Converted PDF).
    The spacing is not uniformly altered and in some cases the spacing is reduced, as in the word "efficiency" and in some cases spacing is increased, as in the space between "energy" and "efficiency".

    It looks as if Word (not Acrobat) is doing some advanced typographical adjustment. Certain fonts contain a specially designed ffi single character.

  • PDF created from Office 2013 with Acrobat X doesn't have correct page size

    We have a process of quickly creating PDFs along with combining several Word files to PDF by utilizing the "right click" on a Word file(s) to save as a PDF within Windows.  Many times, our page size in Word is 5.5 X 8.5 and it does not save actual page size once PDF is created by using the "right click" and defaults to 8 1/2 X 11.  Is there a way to fix this or edit a setting?  It works fine from within Word if you "Save as" or "Export" but we need the right click to save as actual page size.  Please help. It worked fine in all previous versions of Word/Office.  Thanks!

  • Can't print to PDF from MS Office 2010 using Acrobat X Pro

    This is not the PDF Addin problem. When I try to print to PDF using the printer dialogue in any MS Office 2010 application I get the save to dialogue box, but when I choose a location and file name and print save nothing happens. No indication of printing activity, no file shows up in the location I chose, etc. I'm using Acrobat X and working in Office 2010 64bit on a Windows 7 64 bit system.

    Use OFFICE 32-bit. I am surprised the print option does not work, but there has been a lot said on the forum about the compatibility of OFFICE 32-bit and Acrobat X.

  • Word 7 to acrobat 9 pro

    Using word 7 with acrobat 9 pro on vista.  Converting word to pfd I run into problems.  On 3 pages of an 18 page document the top line of one page is on the bottom of the previous page.  ie, the top line of page 3 is on the bottom of page 2.  Doc is fine in word - reset all preferences can't figure it out and can't make the correction in acrobat.
    Thanks.

    Usually this default is set in WORD 2007 to not use printer metrics -- looks like you may have gotten it turned on. In any case, open the print menu in WORD and select the Adobe PDF printer. Then back out to the document editing and go through your document and fix it. Then print and you should be fine. Most word processors reflow documents based on the printer that is attached. That is one of the reasons FORMs in WORD are a real pain -- folks typically have a different printer than the author. If you set the printer and then edit, the document should look identical to the WORD document. The use of printer metrics is buried in the options in WORD 2007 and is normal unchecked by default (it was checked in previous versions).

  • Fillable Form Fields Created With Acrobat XI Pro on Mac Won't Save on PCs?

    Hi all,
    Apologies if this has been covered already, but I've done a search of the forums that have turned up nothing.
    Briefly, I have created a fillable form with Acrobat XI Pro on a Mac. The original file was created with InDesign CS6.
    Once the fields were created in Acrobat, the file was saved as a Reader Extended PDF.
    The problem is that Mac users are able to fill in the fields and save the PDF, while Windows users are not.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    You recommended answer seem to imply that the users are using Preview. When according the OP in that thread makes no mention on Mac except he created the form on Mac everyone else is using a PC. If anyone is using preview that answer would apply. If anyone filled out the form using Preview then follow the advice in the Link
    I would say your using possibly the wrong Font or the wrong version of the font. If anyone has Acrobat on a PC open the form on a PC if the form fields appear as though nothing is there, then see if you can change the font used. Just try anything other than what is listed. See if the text appears.  If it does then you have a defective font or  the Mac and PC don't use the same version.
    On Mac, if you have more than one version of a Font Style, say Aerial Italic for example, issues like this invisible text will happen. Macs don't tolerate more than one version of the same Font.  You can't have two versions of say Aerial Italic or Helvetica Bold or Courier Bold Italic. PCs you can have 50 copies of the same font and it don't matter. The applications just pick one if it happens to be different then That it.
    In Reader or Acrobat you might set to use local Fonts that might clear up the issue On Mac go to Preferences and Page Display:
    Check use local Fonts.

  • I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.

    I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.
    The word file has a trim size of 6” x 9”. It has been set to mirror margins with the inner, top and bottom margins set to 0.75”, the outer margin is set to 0.5” and the gutter to 0.14”.
    It doesn’t matter if I create the PDF from inside Word, or open Acrobat Pro 11.0.9 and click Create From File, while the resulting document size is correct and the odd numbered pages reflect the correct margins, the even numbered pages do not. This results in some text near the outer margin, as well as the page numbers being omitted.
    Does anyone know how to correct this?
    I just noticed that some of the odd numbered pages' text is also cropped. Apparently Acrobat is refusing to set side margins to smaller than 1" (@ 3cm).

    I'm away from my printer, so I'll try it later. Even so, the proposed test is irrelevant. I operate a small publishing house and am trying to upload certain novels to Ingram, the largest book distributor in the world. The specifications I've set are the specifications they've asked for. Since they've said that the results I'm obtaining are unacceptable, and since they demand submission in PDF form, this renders Acrobat Pro for Mac completely unacceptable for anyone in the publication industry. As far as I can tell, Adobe has a serious bug here that it needs to fix—and at once.

  • Acrobat 9.5, file corruption when combining .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document

    In Acrobat 9, when I combine .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document, there is data corruption. Some of the text appears as blank boxes when the pages are inserted into the larger .pdf, the main document. I have so far solved this by "printing" the files to .pdf, and then inserting them into the larger .pdf main document, but this creates a fatter .pdf file that is much larger than would otherwise be the case. Are there any other solutions within Acrobat 9, please? If this bug has been solved in Acrobat X or XI, please advise. Thanks.

    As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
    As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
    Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

  • Create PDF from a Word document within Acrobat

    Hi!
    I am having trouble to create a PDF from a Word document within Acrobat itself, and not by using PDF Maker in Word. When I try to create a PDF using Acrobat, it gives me the choice to choose any Office format file, but Word format doesn't appear. I can convert from an Excel document or a PowerPoint document, but not from a Word document, even if Word 2010 is installed and works perferctly. Why?
    I know I can make a PDF in Word itself by printing to the Adobe PDF printer or by using PDF Maker, but I want to resolve the issue in Acrobat that prevents me to select a Word document in the Create PDF dialog window. You can see the dialog box in the screenshot attached.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    I am using Acrobat X version 10.1.8 on Windows 7 Home Premium and I have Office 2010 installed (with Word 2010).

    Thanks for your reply. PDF Maker works in all of my Office applications. However, in Acrobat, the file formats available for me to create PDF from figure all the Office file formats except the one for Word. This is not normal. At my school, Acrobat X and Office 2007 are installed, and I can use there both PDF Maker in Word and creating PDF from Word document within Acrobat.
    So I think maybe there's a key in my Windows registry that is not set correctly? or something like that. I repaired the installation of Office 2010, and I did so for Acrobat X too, but it doesn't help. Any idea of how I can resolve that?
