Error in converting .doc to .pdf

Running winXP home sp2, adobe pro 7.1.0
This problem has started suddenly.
When converting *.doc to *.pdf a window titled AcroDist.exe-Application Error comes up:
"0x00441ae2" referenced memory at "0x0218ebbc". The memory could not be "read".
Acrobat stops and can only be stopped from the Task Manager. Try to print something in *.pdf -- same thing happens.
Anyone, any suggestions? I would be thankful.

Gloria Mc,
This occurs with all .doc, Excel, .rtf, .txt (even when trying to print .pdf from a txt software like notepad. It does not occur with picture format files like .jpg or .tiff. I also can combine .pdf files.
As far as JR's question, if I generate a .prn file and drop it in AcroDist (Distiller), it tries to open Distiller and the same error message comes up.
All other functions of AA7 seem to work, only when trying to convert document files to .pdf is there a problem.
If I try to bring up Distiller by itself (no file), the same error occurs.
I'm still willing to try any suggestions. Thanks for your interest.

Error in converting doc to pdf file

I have a doc file - 53100kB word 2007, 180 pages with text and images. When converting to pdf with AdobePdf, it breaks after 99 pages. I got a message MicrosoftOfficeWord encountred a problem and has to close. Don't have the error report (my mistake)
Try converting from 102 to last page, it breaks after 28 pages, in log file i have the message:
%%{ProductName: Distiller }%%
%%{Page: 1}%%
%%{Page: 28}%%
%%{ Error: typecheck: offendingCommand: not }%%

What to do next to make a continuous conversion?
Thank you.

Fatal error while converting doc to pdf

While Adobe Acrobat 7.09 converted a rather simple (albeit long) Word 2003 document, I received the following fatal error message during the "Processing for Tag Information" stage of Acrobat PDFMaker.
MS Visual C++ Debug Library
Program: WINWORD.EXE
Module:Reader For RTF.smrd
File: <blank>
Run-Time Check Failure #3 - The variable bNewRowExpectedBeforeFootNote is being used without being defined
Abort Retry Ignore
"Retry" dumps both applications.
"Ignore" re-displays the error, each time with other variables; "iTableLeftBeforeFootNote",
"iTableGapBeforeFootNote",
"bFirstElementSentBeforeFootNote",
"bRowHeightBeforeFootNote"
and then continues processing, until this same cycle repeats itself several more times before the "Processing for Tag Information" finally completes.
If the error is "IGNORED" enough, the conversion will complete. However I have not assessed the resulting pdf for usability.

From what I understand of tagging, it just provides markup in the PDF to indicate where WORD put a paragraph or other format aspect. Thus the saving back to a WORD file is easier. Other than that, I do not think that tags are used for much, except possibly accessibility. I usually just print to the Adobe PDF printer for my needs, but I do not have links and such that are critical for transfer to the PDF. The thing to remember is that tags really bloat the PDF, and you just do not have the memory to deal with that. Unless tagging or other PDF Maker features are important to your need, then it may be best to turn them off. One thing I would suggest leaving in is the embedding of all fonts as subsets.
Don't know that I helped much or even got it all correct, but maybe that is what you wanted to know. Bill

Is it possible to convert .doc to pdf ?

Hi..
I am very new to Livecycle Workflow...! I just want to know whether it is possible to convert .doc to pdf ?
Just by googling i came to know that CreatePDF2 Service will do this Conversion ! But it throws me an Exception like "Conversion Exception :" Cannot connect to Adobe Service "...!
Can u guys pls help me out to slove the problem ?
Thanks & Regards
Karthik.

you don't know the format of a word doc? well, that's good for you because it's a nightmare.
- check POI (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/index.html) to see if you can load-up the .doc then generate the .pdf with iText
- personally i use the Open Office Bean to open the .doc, i save it in .sxw (OO format which is a jar of different XML files), then i use XSLT to transform content.xml in .fo then use FOP to build the PDF. sounds crazy but works fine (only on a machine with graphic support - not via Telnet, etc...)

Error converting DOC to PDF, corrupt table

Hello,
Using XP, MS Word 2003, Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.
Trying to convert a 15MB doc to pdf. After 14 minutes, I get a MS Word error, "This error message may be the result of a corrupt table in the current document.You can recover the contents..." The steps for recovery involves "open & repair", which is an option that I can't find (maybe MS Word 2007?)
If I take the original doc & compress the photos to reduce the file size to about 11MB, then the PDF is ok. I can also split up the doc into two documents. Each part converts ok, then I can combine them. Both options works, but both are time consuming. (So I'm not buying the "corrupt table" error.)
I have other doc's that convert ok. One is 29MB and converts in 2 minutes. The difference that I can note is that the 15MB doc uses primary nothing but text boxes for the entire doc. Text & photos are inserted into each text box. A dozen of these are smaller than 11MB & will convert, but very slowly. Over that size & I get the above error.
I can't change Word Doc format. (customer's requirements)
Any help or suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks

There has been a change with AA9 that does the create PDF option a bit differently than before. I am not sure of the details, but if you are assuming the same process as I will describe you will at least have an idea of what is happening. In prior versions of Acrobat, there are basically 2 conversion processes. The right click in explorer to convert and opening the file in Acrobat both go back to the create PDF process in WORD, so let me just describe the WORD process. When you print to the Adobe PDF printer, then you are simply doing a conversion (or print) just like you would to paper. Excluding the printer metric issues with WORD (2007 turns these off by default), you should get a replica of the WORD file in appearance. Choices include down sampling the graphics and embedding the fonts, both of which are recommended. These are part of the printer properties.
The end result of the print is effectively an electronic paper version of your original file. It is not recommended for editing (except for form fields and such), in just the same way it is preferred to not use whiteout on a typed paper version. The process of creating this print file is a two step process where a PS file is created (can be very memory intensive) and then the PS file is put through Distiller in the background to create the PDF (these require AcroTray to be active to do this automatically).
PDF Maker (create PDF) adds several features to the file, but it is only available in selected applications like MS OFFICE. These features are added by including PDF Marks in the PS file created in the print process. You can include bookmarks, links, and tags for accessibility (tags tend to really bloat the file big time). The items to be included are in the preferences of PDF Maker in the application. It is also a good idea to use the Standard job settings as a minimum, but I typically recommend print or press options. I use a job settings file provided by a publisher that is optimize for journal publication.
The fact that PDF Maker adds all the extra bits is likely why you are having problems. You can try turning all the added features off and then go back and add only the ones you need. That may help your situation. Keep in mind that graphics will be expanded (are not compressed) when sent to the PS file -- causing a huge file in some cases. The temporary storage is limited by your TEMP folder and not by the size of your hard disk and that is the route of the problem for large files.
As I said, PDF Maker has apparently changed a bit for AA9, but the idea is likely similar.

Convert doc to PDF and make it available for workspace

Hi,
is there a way, how to convert a doc file to PDF file and make it available for the workspace (accept - deny scenario)?
Lets say, that I have a contract that has to be approved by my manager. I convert the doc to PDF file and send it to his to-do queue. He than decides if it is a good agreement or bad one.
I see couple of tricks in this. First, the converted file needs to have process fields included, so it has to be a form.
Converted file is a flat PDF. I tried to use DDX to merge flat PDF and form with process fields, however that throwed and error.
Workaround could be creating an envelope saying, hey, look in the attachments section, there is something you need to review.
I can create an attachment in the form with DDX code, however only in the DDX UI interface, for some reason, it wont work in the process in LC.
Also, I have difficulties with routes after user hits the accept, deny buttons in workspace, nothing happens :-(
Could you please give me some advices, what kind of variables I need, what types they should be and how the process should looklike? I want to invoke it over the WSDL so at least one document has to be passed over it. The envelope can be in the resources section in LC (makes sense, but I do not know how to address it in the DDX and afterwards)
Thanks in advance,
H.

Hi Jasmin,
I can add the converted document to PDF as a attachment to the XDP form in the workspace.
I am strugling now with that envelope (the XDP), cant render it to PDF and than workspace enable it. I will have a look around the web because it will be there. One question is can I control permitions on the attachment? I want just read only permitions.
Thanks Jasmin for your continuous help.

I did try a few docs I found on the internet, snee.com/xml/xslt/sample.doc.included, and got the same error as OP or

unoconv: UnoException during import phase:
The document 'file:///home/karol/test/sample.doc' could not be opened.
I just run 'pacman -S unoconv' and it wasn't untill I installed libreoffice-writer that it worked.
Opening the doc in lowriter and exporting it to a pdf from the menu works too.

Error while converting OTF to PDF

Hi All,
I am getting an error when i am trying to convert smartform to PDF.
the error is :

please tell me how to solve this?

Hi,
     I will tell you the steps to follow. Check if you have done it in the same way.
1. Call the FM for smartforms. The imoirting parameters should contain t_otf_from_fm of the TYPE ssfcrescl ( you have used a diff declaration i guess).
2. Move this work are into an internal table say IT_1 of type itcoo .
3. Call the FM " CONVERT_OTF ", by passing the parameters as
       format                = 'PDF'
      max_linewidth         = 132
              IMPORTING

      otf                   = t_otf
      lines                 = t_pdf_tab
4. You could then call the method CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog to save this PDF to your desktop
Let me know if you have followed this.
Cheers

Error while converting Image -to- PDF and then to PDF/A

I've just read a footnote in the API documentation which indicates that the transformPDF function cannot be used for this purpose:
"GS_Enterprise said on Nov 24, 2007 at 12:03 PM :
Please note that the parameter "inPdfDoc" for transformPDF assumes that the stream content is an XFA-based PDF, and that it's not an XFA-based PDF with a PDF background (also known as "XFA foreground"). In other words, this function does not convert any input PDF to PDF/A, but only those PDFs generated from an XFA template which does not include any static PDF content as a background."

Can't convert .doc to .pdf using Acrobat 9.4.3.

Guys,
Last night for some reason Acrobat 9 suddenly stopped converting any MS Word .docs to .pdfs. It gives me the following message:
Acrobat could not open 'XYZ.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF or use the Acrobat toolbar found in Microsoft Office applications.
I swear it was working earlier. So I checked for an update and it gave me 9.4.3 so I updated and it didn't fix the problem. I also tried several different files and got the same message.
I'm using OS 10.6.7 Acrobat 9.4.3 and MS Word 11.3.5 (2004).
Thanks,
Solan

What version of Word do you Have?
Word 2004 if you had Acrobat as well the PDFmaker menu bar was installed by Acrobat you could convert a .doc Document to PDF. It required the use of VBA and and a Macro which created the PDFMaker menu. I was Secretary and Treasurer of an association for 30 years and I converted many a 2004 Word Document to PDF using PDFMaker.
You still had the same problems with word converted to PDF as today. If there are any section Breaks or Page breaks the pdfs were broken up into pieces you have to put back together.
I still have some .Doc files from early 2006 and with Office 2011, I opened one, and just saved it as a Pdf no trouble. I didn't convert it and didn't save it as a Docx.
I simply went to Save as and chose PDF.
And I also went to Print menu> PDF> adobe quality PDF. and was able to make a PDF.
Also I just went to print menu > PDF and just chose PDF which makes an Apple version of PDF.
I don't know where anyone got the idea you can't make a PDF from a Doc File. Maybe in a future version That doesn't read doc. but for now

Problem while converting doc to PDF

Hi - When tried to convert a doc file to PDF, it introduced spaces between word characters in the result PDF file.
For e.g. "Project" became "Pro ject"
But when used Print to PDF it worked fine.
Can somebody please help me to understand why conversion from doc to PDF file introduces spaces in between? Is this an existing bug in Adobe?
Your inputs will be very helpful.
Thank You

Can no longer convert DOC to PDF

I've been using Acrobat 6 Pro for years to convert Microsoft Word (2003) DOCs to PDFs. After a power failure, some of my Adobe products had to be repaired and re-registered. On the other side of this procedure, I seem to have lost the conversion function. When I click the right mouse button over a DOC file I still get an option of converting the file, but nothing happens. How can I restore this function? (my Acrobat 6 Pro was part of the Adobe Creative Suite Premium package).

But can you print to the Adobe PDF printer? Please check. This is the base of all the conversions in Acrobat and if it does not work, none of them work. If it works, then you need to check for the Adobe icons (toolbar) in WORD to be active. It has to be active to be able to use PDF Maker. But again, the basic process is really the printer and should be the first thing you check.

Converting DOC to PDF - will not open

I have the Adobe creative suite 4 Design Standard, and with that comes Adobe Acrobat Pro ( I updated the newest version 9.2.0). I have been using this program for two years and have never had any issues. Then my computer was stolen last week, I got my CD's and serial number and uploaded the Adobe CS4 to my new MAC OSX 10.6.7 computer and have had several issues. The first most major issue is that when I convert word DOC to PDF (either by "saving as" or by "print as PDF" both do the same thing) and it will show as though it saves to my desktop, but then when I click on the PDF it will not open. Just a blank document - and it is a very small document under 1 MB there is no reason why it shouldn't be working. On my old Mac I never had any issues with this and now I am. The Adobe service center said they charge to answer me because its not the newest version of CS5. Worthless.... can someone help?? I would be SO greatful! thanks.

There are problems with fonts and pdfs in OS X.6.7. Also Acrobat 9.2 is not the latest version of Acrobat. Try updating to Acrobat 9.4.3.

Links in converted DOC to PDF not working properly

I need to convert a word doc to PDF and retain the hyperlinks. The links all point to PDF documents in other folders. When I convert the word doc to PDF through word's 'save as' or PDF export, the links get update to web URL-like links that open the PDF document in a web browser. Is there a way to preserve the links so that they still open the PDFs in adobe and not a web browser?

Hey domallavena,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
In order to open the PDF links in Acrobat only (not web browser), you will need to change settings of link by choosing "Tools> Content Editing> Add or Edit Link" Now, right-click on that link and choose Properties from the context menu.
Then, select 'Open a file' option to choose the file that you want to open when clicking on that link.
Specify open preferences whether you wish to open the file in new window or existing one and save the PDF.
Try this way and let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Anubha
