Emf images in word document convert badly to pdf using adobe plug-in

I have a problem with converting word documents containing emf images to pdf using the adobe plugin in the MS word ribbon which is provided with Adobe Acrobat XI standard. The text and some of the image formatting in the emf vector image either disappears or moves within the in the resulting output when the document is converted to a pdf. The issue also occurs when I use the "File > save as adobe pdf" option.
Example image in word:
Example result after pdf conversion:
I have adjusted many of the settings to try and get the conversion to work.
When I use the print then select the adobe printer this image pdf's ok. However he Adobe word plug-in is potentially very useful and a time saver because it allows default settings (including security) to be applied time and time again by default ensuring consistency. It is also important for us to be able to use a high quality vector image.
I hope someone can help here!
Thanks
Tom

We had the problem last year for my last PhD student and his dissertation. It was an issue with vector graphics, not bitmaps. In his case, the lines on a curve were solid, dotted, and dashed, but all came out as solid. In the printed version it was correct. The only solution we found was to create the file from the plugin and a second file with the printer. Then the second file was inserted in the original with replace pages. This meant that all the markup, bookmarks, and such were retained, but the graphics worked. If you do not need the extra bookmarks and such of the plugin, then just set up the printer to do the security you want. If you always want the security set, set it in the printer properties in the Start>Printers menu of Windows.

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.

I don't understand. I use Google Docs to write letters & other forms, then convert them to PDFs using Adobe Acrobat. If Forms Central closes, will I still be able to do this?

Adobe also has Acrobat.com and there is DropBox.com. Adobe has also announced Adobe Document Cloud.
Forms central provide a subscription service for users with Reader to create simple forms. Apparently this did not meet a majority of users and with the minimal price difference for Acrobat and free web storage the users were better served without it. I expect cloud services will continue to emerge until providers better and more fully understand the user requirements.

Websites will convert to a PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 but not Adobe Acrobat XI

Hello,
We have noticed that there are several websites that can be concerted into a PDF using Adoble Acrobat 9, but do not work with Adobe Acrobat XI. An example is the website http://amseventsubc.com/. This site converts with no problems using Adobe Acrobat 9, but will not work with Adobe Acrobat XI. When one tries to convert the website (by going Create > PDF from Web Page > Capture Multiple Levels > Get entire site > Create) it starts to work for about 10 minutes but then stops and crashes the program.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to fix this problem?
Is there any reason why a website would work in an older version of Acrobat and not the most recent?
Thanks for your help!

Hi, we are actually not looking to have active links but rather to have the content from each link saved as part of the PDF (We are looking to convert the entire website's content to PDF). On Adobe X you can normally append any link so that its content will be converted and added to your PDF, however, this can't be done with XML links.

Can I covert multiple Word Documents into a single PDF using Acrobat Pro

I'm using Acrobat Pro X version 10.1.10...I'm trying to select multiple Word Document files (Mac Version 14.4.3) but when choosing the files, Word Documents I cannot select them as a convertible file format. If I drag them into the conversion box it says they are not a recognised file format....any ideas?

Can you open any WORD file in Acrobat? If not, it is likely a limitation of Acrobat on the MAC. On the PC, you can simply use the Combine option in the file menu to create a new PDF. The conversion of the WORD document uses the PDF Maker option installed in WORD that must work, but this is the same process as opening a DOC or DOCX file directly in Acrobat. There are limitation with the compatibility of various versions of OFFICE and Acrobat that could be another issue you are having, but I don't know the combinations for a MAC. This only gives you some thoughts to consider. Some of the MAC users may be by later to give further thoughts.
The alternative is to create a PDF for each of the WORD files and then use the combine feature to combine the PDFs.

Converting tiff images to word documents

does mac offer any programs like microsoft office document imaging which enables you to scan docs as tifs and convert them to word?

Microsoft would have to offer a TIFF importer within Microsoft Word for its documents. If your issue is loading Word documents within TextEdit, yes, that editor does not support images. You are better off if you don't want to use Microsoft Word itself, to use NeoOffice or iWork's Pages if you want to incorporate images in Word documents.
P.S. Mac is the name of the operating system, and the computers that run the operating system by Apple Inc. So questioning "Does Mac..." doesn't make any more sense than asking "Does Experion..."

I converted a 253 page document from Word 2010 to pdf using Adobe Professional 8. The pdf fike only had 251 pages. Why?

Word documents don't have a fixed page layout; Word reflows freely if it wants. This isn't normally a problem unless things like typing page numbers is done; avoid that.

Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document

I have a powershell script that uses a Word document as a template to create signatures that I am pushing out to my organization.
The document is populated with text formatted the way I want the signature to look, that I then do a FindText and ReplaceText on. This works fine for replacing text with text, but I can't figure out how to properly replace some of the holder text with
an image and a link. I found a few posts about adding images to word documents, but none that seem to work properly in this scenario.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Dear BOFH,
You are correct that method I outlined is not for inserting an image into a signature block (which would be in Outlook, not Word). The links you post do certainly deal with outlook signatures, well done... Except that the question was about how to
use a Powershell script to replace text in a Word document with an image. Sure it was framed in the context of creating signatures, but the poster expressed that they already had a method of generating and replacing text, and just needed to know, as
I did, how to do the thing they actually asked.
Please BOFH... Please forgive my audacity in hoping to find a reference (any reference) to how to replace Word text with images via Powershell in a thread titled "Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document".
This is certainly a scripting question, and even something as simple as "You will need to call the .NET methods for the Word find/replace functionality. Please ask in the Word forums for the correct method to use.
If you need help on calling .NET methods look HTTP ://here"support you offered combined with the contempt you offer in response to my actual substantive help to the actual question asked.
BOFH, you are not better than us, just more arrogant.
Can you please start your own question as this one has been closed. Please see scripting guidelines.
We cannot guarantee you satisfaction as this is a user supported forum. The is no SLA for community support. Perhaps if you posted a better worded question as a new topic someone might be able to help you resolve your issue.
The topic you are posting on is closed and answered.

How do I search a word document stored in a BLOB using PHP?

I have been successful at saving files in a blob field using oracle.
I need to search through the word document, how can I do it using PHP?
Please help!

You're going to want to look at the Text Application Developer's guide.

http://otn.oracle.com/pls/db10g/db10g.show_toc?partno=b10729&remark=drilldown&word=text+application+developer%27s+guide
Give this a read and it'll give you what you need in order to search CLOB and BLOB fields for text data.
It all works around a particular type of index which is then referenced using a CONTAINS clause in your SQL... eg:
SELECT id FROM documents WHERE CONTAINS( document_body, 'Oracle' ) > 0
Once you've got your head around the basic priniciples you're going to want to look at the document filters. This should allow you to index MS Word documents (warning: I've never used this for Word).
It's not something that you can just pick up from reading a 20 line reply on a forum, but it sounds like what you're looking for.
We use it here in order to look up on HTML documents, and it works a treat. We converted our Word documents to HTML so we could mark them up and then display them inline on pages.
We wrap up the SQL that actually does the CONTAINS clause in a PL-SQL function, but I don't image there's a problem issuing a CONTAINS over OCI. Let me know if it works!
Might this be an option for you?

Created a word doc with links to pdfs, is Adobe XI standard enough to merge as one pdf document

I am looking to create one flowing document, without the need to send customers lots of attachments. I have a word document which has links to several other document types, usually pdf sometimes these have minimal volume other times these can be large in volume. Currently I have to send all the documents as a folder, but I would like to send one tidy document, so if I convert to a pdf with Adobe XI standard will my linked documents be automatically inserted creating one document (I have not purchased yet, researching first)?

The linked documents will not be automatically converted to PDFs and merged
with your file, neither in Acrobat Standard nor in Acrobat Pro. You can do
it, but you'll need to do it manually by converting all the files to PDFs,
merging them and then adding the links between them.

Does Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional support image which has been converted to a PDF to be edited?

Hi,
Does Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional support the content of an image which has been converted to a PDF file to be edited?
Sometimes when I try to edit the content of a PDF file which was created by converting an image into a PDF file, I notice that Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional tells me that this Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot support this content.
On the other hand, even if Adobe Acrobat professional could edit a PDF file, I notice that there are far too many restrictions to edit the content, for example, if your new editing words are more than the old then the line goes out the page instead of going to a new line. In addition, if you reached to the end of a line, and then you press 'Enter' to let the rest of words of the last line be written on the next line, you notice that the words writes on the words of line which follows the line which is being edited. As a result, the text would be quite crazy.
Any comments would be highly appreciated
Thanks a lot,

Thanks very much,
Sometimes when I try to edit the content of PDF files which were created by converting an image into a PDF file, I notice that that Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional tells me that tells me that this content cannot be supported
Even in the case of files created from word processing files, I notice that there are far too many restrictions in editing the content. For example, if you insert extra words or characters, the text does not automatically word-wrap. In addition, the "Enter key" does not work properly to insert a new line at the expected position. As a result, the text is quite crazy.

Not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

Hi,
I am not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. When I try to convert, it starts the process and in between I am getting this prompt, as shown in figure below and the conversion process stops. The PDF is not created.
Note: The filename 'Acr85.doc' in the above prompt keeps changing and is random.
I tried clicking Yes, No and Cancel on the above prompt, but the conversion process just stops and PDF is not getting generated.
I am able to create PDFs from web pages. No issues with that. Not working only with Word.
Can someone help me with this.
Thanks,
