My docx file of 91MB fails to convert to pdf format when using the adobe PDFprogram. This also happened before I changed from a doc to the docx.

Creating macro converting docx files into pdf

Hello,
I'm trying to create a macro that automatically find all .docx and .xlsx files into selected folder and convert them into PDFs files. I already make something but it converts too much (for example gifs files). Can you help me in that?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Robert

Run this macro from Word:
Sub ConvertWord2PDF()
Dim strFolder As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim doc As Document
Dim lngPos As Long
Dim strPDFName As String
With Application.FileDialog(4)
If .Show Then
strFolder = .SelectedItems(1)
Else
MsgBox "You didn't specify a folder!", vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
End With
If Right(strFolder, 1) <> "\" Then
strFolder = strFolder & "\"
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "*.doc*")
Do While strFile <> ""
Set doc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & strFile, _
AddToRecentFiles:=False)
lngPos = InStrRev(strFile, ".")
strPDFName = Left(strFile, lngPos) & "pdf"
doc.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:=strFolder & strPDFName, _
ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF
doc.Close SaveChanges:=True
strFile = Dir
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
and this one from Excel:
Sub ConvertExcel2PDF()
Dim strFolder As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim wbk As Workbook
Dim lngPos As Long
Dim strPDFName As String
With Application.FileDialog(4)
If .Show Then
strFolder = .SelectedItems(1)
Else
MsgBox "You didn't specify a folder!", vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
End With
If Right(strFolder, 1) <> "\" Then
strFolder = strFolder & "\"
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "*.xls*")
Do While strFile <> ""
Set wbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=strFolder & strFile)
lngPos = InStrRev(strFile, ".")
strPDFName = Left(strFile, lngPos) & "pdf"
wbk.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=strFolder & strPDFName
wbk.Close SaveChanges:=True
strFile = Dir
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Error: EXOpenExport() while converting xlsb file to PDF

I am getting this error while converting .XLSB file to PDF using IBR :Step PDFExport forced conversion failure by conversion engine because of error: EXOpenExport() failed: no filter available for this file type (0x0004). Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for all your intrest.
The error message I get is... "an unexpected error occured. PDFMaker was unable to process the request".
When I then try to convert again, the system opens the ppt, but then does not do anything, and the error message does not show, for all presentations I try to convert.
I have also tried using the ribbon, but the button does not do anything once I have clicked.
I can print to PDF, but this provides an output which is not suitable, because it shows as if it each slide was printed on to paper and then put in PDF.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat to make sure nothing was corrupt.

Thanks for replying. I am converting from MS Office Word document to Adobe Acrobat Document and opening with Reader XI - sorry my mistake.
I now notice another problem. On trying to open a specific hyperlink in the pdf version I get the message 'Acrobat does not allow connection to: www.biblegateway.com'. Why would there be a restriction?

Adobe Acrobat XI pro version, Windows 7, running on iMac parallels, converting pdf to a pdf with reduced size is not possible, error: error in converting the file! What to do? Its a bit annoying not to be able to store pdf files in reduced size, any idea?

Hi Jorg ,
Are you trying to reduce the file size with the "Reduced size PDF" in the save as other option.
Give it a try if you haven't done it prior.
Open that PDF>File>Save as Other>Reduced size PDF.
If possible ,please share the snapshot of the error message with us so that we can have a look in order to assist you further.

I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files to into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "Error occurred while trying to access the file". WHY

I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack for $7.50/month (or $89.99/yr) but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "An error occurred while trying to access the service". WHY is this happening & How can I fix it?

Hi hpmg,
It seems you are trying to access the service via Adobe Reader. Make sure you are signed in with your Adobe ID. Is Reader updated to the latest patch v 11.0.09?
It might be possible that a firewall or antivirus might be breaking the connectivity from Reader to the server.
Try accessing the service from the browser: https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf and check if that works for you.

How to batch convert Word files to pdf

How do I batch convert Word files to pdf using Automator

Here is a drag/drop AppleScript solution that uses the command-line LibreOffice capability to convert MS Word (.doc, .docx) files into PDF. Drag/Drop a single file, or a folder of Word documents, and it will write the respective PDF back to the original file location. When it is done, an OS X Notification will slide out onto the Desktop and provide the count of processed files.
Save this AppleScript as a Desktop application that remains open after running. If you ignore the latter, the notification will not show when it is done. Tested on Mavericks 10.9.5.
property name_extension : {"doc", "docx"}
global fileCnt
on open of finderObjects
    set fileCnt to 0
    repeat with i in (finderObjects)
    if folder of (info for i) is true then
        tell application "Finder" to set temp to (entire contents of i)
        repeat with j in (temp)
            process_files(j)
        end repeat
    else
          process_files(i)
    end if
    end repeat
    display notification "Processed Files: " & fileCnt with title "Word2PDF" subtitle "Processing Complete"
end open

Acrobat XI Pro successfully installed, but it failed in converting word files into PDF, why?

I just installed Adobe XI Pro through the download assistant, it looks the installation went well, but when I tried to convert word files into PDF (tried many times), it failed. Anyone has the same problems, any solutions?

Please reply with more information - what your operating system is, do you have Office installed, and what exactly is happening. Is there an error message, does the application crash, and from where are you starting the conversion (using Word and PDFMaker, using Acrobat's Create button, or batch processing).

Unable to convert text file to PDF

Hi,
Using Adobe Pro 9 Distiller on Windows 2008 64bit server. So far using Distiller to convert .eps files to .pdf with Standard job options file. I need to convert a .txt file to .pdf and am not able to convert using any of the OOTB job options settings that came with Distiller product installation.
Below is the Distiller output when I tried with Standard job options settings
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: MBLDxxxx-03.rpt ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Can anyone please provide me settings or job options file settings to convert reports in text format to PDF? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick response. I was able to generate the PDF using the Adobe PDF writer by opening the text file. Not an issue on 64 bit platform. The .NET application using Distiller to convert eps to PDF via Distiller and moves it over to a watch folder. Another application picks it up and bursts the large PDF to individual PDFs. I need to automatically convert txt to PDF and submit it for burst. Looking for ways to leverage Distiller to automatically convert the txt to PDF. Is it possible? Thanks.

Convert txt file to pdf using Acrobat Distiller

Hi,
We purchase years ago Distiller 8.1.0.
Now, I try to convert txt file to pdf files, but I always get an error.
Please Help,
Hezi

I have important information: Acrobat is not licensed for use server side, so you must not use it to build that solution, even if it is technically possible.
Adobe's server side PDF creation product is LiveCycle PDF Generator https://www.adobe.com/sea/products/server/pdfgenerator/
This comes in three editions. The "PostScript" edition is little more than a server-side version of Distiller, and will not convert TXT. However, the other two editions can convert a wide variety of formats.

ITunes 12 'error occurred converting the file the disk is not available'

Hi,
looking for some advice on an issue with importing disks into iTunes 12.0.01.26 on Windows 7
I import a CD and the first song generally imports successfully
However I noticed the second song (or sometimes the fourth) fails with the following :
'error occurred converting the file the disk is not available'
I can manually untick the first songs that have imported successfully and re-import the remainder.
Generally another song will import and the error will reoccur. I can continue this laborious process until the CD is fully imported
I can rip CD's using Windows Media Player without any issue so it doesn't look like an optical drive issue
I have checked under Preferences - Advanced and the iTunes media folder is apparent. I'm using an external drive for my iTunes Library.
Attempts to Resolve
I tested by setting up an iTunes library under my C:\ and the issue reoccurs.
I've tried repairing the installation but it made no difference.
I tried removing the iTunesPreferences.plist file - no difference
I have switched off (and back on) the automatic prompt to import CD's
Turned off and on error checking when importing CD's
I have noticed the prompt to import the CD can pop up at least twice, often again when an import is underway
I would be grateful for any suggestions on remedial steps I could take!
Many Thanks
Paul

Hey Paul_Ramone,
Sorry to hear you are having these issues with iTunes on your Windows machine. If you continue having issues importing tracks from CDs into iTunes (after the first track), you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
iTunes 12 for Windows: Import songs from CDs (troubleshooting steps toward the bottom)
iTunes for Windows: iTunes Diagnostics, CD/DVD Drive Tests - Apple Support

When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How can I solve this problem?

When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How do I solve this problem? I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

Dear Sara
Thank you very much for sending the converted file. Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful). I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK". However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before. I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images. Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian." Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
Regards,
Judith.
