Exporting PDF's from Microsoft Word

I'm having trouble creating PDF's from Word (PC). If I click file and selct PDF as my printer, the image comes out with several things missing. If I click the Adobe Icon and try to print it locks up and says there is a problem with Adobe. Not sure if it just needs updated or what's wrong with it.

Be sure AA8 is updated to the latest version. The fact that you have it working on Win7-64 bit is only the second time I have heard of any success with AA8 and this system. That may be the issue that the compatibility is just not there. You might try printing to file with another PS print driver (this step would be a better check) and open the file in Distiller to check for proper operation. If that works, then try the Adobe PDF printer with a print to file also. Do you get different results in any of these tests?
Adobe will only give you one answer for your problem and that is AA8 is not certified for Win7-64 bit and you should upgrade to AAXI. This latter may be a good idea anyway, depending on your funds.

    Hi,
    Perform below step for PDF Icon in library.
     Configure PDF Icon
    - Download PDF Icon from  Adobe website: http://www.adobe.com/images/pdficon_small.gif and save it to

  • Live links in PDFs generated from Microsoft Word 2008?

    A couple of years ago, I was informed that my live links (bookmarks, indexmarks, etc.) in documents generated by Microsoft Word 2004 for the Macintosh did not become PDF live links in Acrobat Standard 7 because the Mac version from Microsoft Word 2004 didn't use the necessary hooks (
    i "APIs"
    or something like that) even though the Windows version did.
    Now that MS Word/MS Office 2008 for the Mac is coming out, will we be able to generate PDFs with such live links.
    Any input will be most appreciated.
    Acrobat Standard 7.0.9. Tiger 10.4.11. Dual bootable, DP MDD 1.25GHz G4 (2004), maxed out at 2GB of RAM, both Spotlight and Dashboard disabled, Photoshop primary scratch disk on dedicated 160GB internal drive, at least 100GB available on each of the four internal drives, up to 300GB on some. Counting external FW drives just over 1TB of drive space available. nVidia GeForce 7800 GS 425MHz 256 MB graphics display card. Processor napping enabled through CHUD 3.5.2.

    While this does not answer the problem of live links. (You can create them Manually, they just are not generated direct from Office Mac).
    The answer to the other question of the little annoying PDFMaker Menu (that never really worked correctly for me (took 5 minutes just to generate a 108K PDF).
    Because MicroSoft took out VBA Support on Mac side That rendered the PDFMaker menu useless because it uses VBA to work.
    So what they have done in Word 2008 is actually put it as Translator choice on the save menu. They now directly can save Word Files directly as PDF files. once you have created your file and saved it. Then go again to *Save As....* , when menu open scroll mouse down until you run across the choice PDF. select that and save. not only is it easier a 108K document can be saved in about 15 seconds or less not the old 5 minutes going through PDFMaker.
    One of PDFMaker's failings was that each step of conversion it called up Distiller which first created a .PS file. Then it checked the file. Then created the PDF file. Then checked the file again before actually writing the PDF File. Then only after checking the written PDF, would it delete the invisible PS file. Finally the PDF file was created. Naturally with all the check steps if you have a very large file could take ages.
    With word's new feature (2008) you can generate a PDF at blinding speeds.

  • Creating TOC Bookmarks in a PDF created from Microsoft Word

    Does anyone know how to modify PDF creation settings so that bookmarks are automatically set from the Table of Contents in the PDF version of a Microsoft Word document? This is possible in Windows using word and Acrobat Pro. But it's not automatic in the OSX-resident PDF creator and I can't find any way to modify preferences. I'm using Word 2004 (11.3.5) for Mac. Thanks!
    iMac 21" Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro on PC.
    Of course, I have done all the steps you mention,  but I wanted someone to confirm me if these setting values are correct in order to obtain the best results. I repeat the paragraph of my previous discussion that I want to clarify, just in case some of you can help me, mainly about optimization
    I digitalized the document from the scanner. This scanner is installed in the net, so I personalized the settings in Acrobat and I chose memory mode instead of native mode.
    Mode color: black on white
    Resolution: 600 ppp
    As you say in your mail, I understand I should choose ClearScan OCR not searchable just at this moment.
    Well, and what about the options of optimization?, JBIG2 (without lost)?, 4 CCITT?
    And filters?, I have: activated, low, activated, medium
    Are these values congruous or compatible?
    Thank you

  • Missing data in Acrobat Pro XI PDF created from Microsoft Word (2010) doc

    When I create an "Adobe PDF" from a Microsoft 2010 Word doc that contains mainly images and text boxes, about 50% of the text boxes do not appear in the PDF.  Also, some of the images (layered on top of each other) appear in a different order - the one on the bottom moves to the top.
    How can I address this problem so that the PDF accurately reflects the Word document?
    (I am using Acrobat Pro XI and Microsoft Office 2010)

    Finally figured it out -- if I view the form directly in Adobe Reader (over our network), I see the confusing message about "Click 'Sign' to fill out..."
    BUT, if I open the form within a web browser (IE, Firefox, etc.), I see the usual message: "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print..."
    It is doing what I expected; I just wasn't viewing it in the usual manner.  Users will be seeing this form via a web browser, so problem solved.

  • "Creating Adobe PDF" slow (from Microsoft Word to Acrobat X)

    Since I installed Adobe Acrobat X, whenever I print to PDF, it takes me a really long time to create a PDF.  I have a simple 8 page Microsoft Word doc and several minutes later, it is still creating the PDF.  Any clues? Fixes?

    I had adobe updater running in the background.  When I turned that off, printing occurred instantly.

  • Can Acrobat X Standard create PDF files from Microsoft Word, using "CMYK" color (required by most book printers) instead of "RGB" color?

    I'd like to purchase Acrobat Standard if it will let me control the color space used in the PDF it creates.  I need to send a color file to a commercial book printer, and they require the PDF file to use CMYK colors, not RGB.
    Will Acrobat Standard do this, and if so, how?  Or do I need to get a different Adobe product for this task?

  • Printing to PDF from Microsoft Word 2004?

    Greetings,
    I'm in the process of completing my masters thesis and am in need of some assistance. The guidelines for my thesis state that title pages must have a 2-inch top margin and 1-inch bottom margin. When I print to paper from Microsoft Word, everything looks great. When I print to PDF from MS Word, the 2-inch top margin changes to 2 & 3/16-inch and the bottom margin cahnges from 1-inch to 1 & 3/8 inch. Is there a reason why this is happening and is there a way to correct this? I don't want to have to go out and purchase Abobe Acrobat Pro just to print this thesis according to the graduate school guidelines.
    Sincerely,
    JBelair

  • Printing to a PDF from Microsoft Word

    I need to print to a PDF from Microsoft Word. Is there any way to do so in order to have the hyperlinks in the Word document show up and work in the PDF?

    Finally found an answer. The secret is to NOT use the Print function at all, but click the Acrobat Tab in MS Word, then select Preferences and make sure the Links option is ticked, then Click Create PDF. The hyperlinks transfer that way, but not through using Print/Acrobat.

    That capability is a function of PDFMaker, which is currently only available on Windows.

  • Why do Certain fonts change when I convert to PDF from Microsoft word?  They start out 60s chic and end up as a standard font.

    Why do some fonts change when converted from Microsoft word to PDF?  It starts out as 60s chic and changes to standard font.

    Related to the question, I suspect you have licensed fonts that cannot be embedded. Thus, the PDF is using what it is finding to be an equivalent as well as it can guess. Did you check the font list in the PDF?

  • Making non-standard size pdfs from Microsoft Word 2003 on pc

    I have Acrobat 8 Professional (pc, Windows XP op system), and want to know how to make a pdf from Microsoft Word (2003) where the dimensions of my document remain as they are, a non-standard size, such as 5.5" x 8.5". All the choices of "paper size" are standard only, and if I check "Custom" and type in the non-standard dimensions, it doesn't work. In other programs, such as InDesign, I can make a pdf of any document size I want with no problems. Does anyone know how to make this work for Word on pc?

    You can create a custom page size for Acrobat.
    In Word:
    File > Print (choose AdobePDF) > Properties.
    On the Adobe PDF Document Properties tab, choose Add next to Adobe PDF Page Size.
    Type in a name for your new custom page size and type in your dimensions.
    Click Add/Modify to close that window, then select your newly created paper size from the drop down.
    Click Ok to close that window
    Click OK to print
    For future printing, you would not have to redefine the page, just choose it from the dropdown.

    That'd be associated with trying to connect to the server(s) for one of the Adobe online subscription services.
    (Edit PDF or PDF Pack)
    These online services are separate and independent of the desktop application Acrobat.
    It appears that you have had / are having internet connection issues.
