Graphic produced in Word 2007 corrupted in Reader 9 but OK in Reader 8

I have printed a document in Word 2007 containing an embedded Visio diagram (insert object from file)..
In Reader 9 the picture is corrupted though it is OK in Reader 8. It is as though the picture is marked out in rectangles and the corners of the rectangles shaded in.
I have tried with an embedded picture and the result is the same. I have also tried with Word 2010 and it is the same too.
I even tried a freeware PDF printer driver instead of 'Save As' from Word, and the image is OK in both Reader 8 and Reader 9.
I really need to use Word standard facilities! Can anyone help?

I even tried a freeware PDF printer driver instead of 'Save As' from
Word, and the image is OK in both Reader 8 and Reader
9.
Looks like a problem of Microsoft.

  • Using 'save as' in word 2007 corrupts a field in rtf template

    I am working on a cheque template using Word plug-in (Word 2007).
    I have created a number of fields to display the micr line. Examples of 3 of these fields are below. I am using micr mt font 12pt to display the micr line.
    <?if@inlines:PaymentAmount/Currency/Code='CAD'?>
    <?xdofx:'C' || lpad(PaymentNumber/CheckNumber,8,'0') || 'C'?>
    <?end if?>
    In most cases, if I make a change to the template and preview as pdf (which automatically triggers a save), the output of the micr line is fine.
    If I make a word only change (i.e add a carriage return) or if I use 'save as' (i.e. when I am making a back-up of the template with a different name) and preview using pdf, the Micr line does not display properly. Instead of the micr line, I see the text from the field itself (i.e. <?end if?>) displayed in micr mt font which means a bunch of boxes and other strange characters.
    It isn't just the preview output that is broken. If I generate and compare the actual xsl-fo stylesheet, there is a section missing in the broken version, and it is replaced by the strange characters.
    If I go in and re-enter the code into the fields, everything is fine again until I save using 'save as' or preview after a minor 'word only' type change such as a carriage return.
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Thanks,
    Tam

    This does not sound right.
    I highly recommend you to report this to Oracle Support (open a SR).
    Include:
    - The product version (5 digit number)
    - Include steps how to reproduce the issue (if possible with screenshots)
    - Include example (either RTF and XML file and steps to reproduce).
    Give no excuses to Oracle Support to come back with a vague answer
    it seems you have found a bug.

  • Word 2007 Corrupt Document Recovery

    Hi All,
    I might be a little off topic in this category but am hoping you can help or point me in the right direction, i have a corrupt .doc document, basically it was a doc i resumed working on which was launched off a usb hdd, midway through the document i accidentally unplugged the hdd.
    After plugging it back in i tried to relaunch the document in the hope of just starting from where i originally resumed, however the text has now converted into all sorts of code which cannot be translated into English, i tried all the other MS docs explaining how to launch and repair the document to no avail,
    Can anyone please point me in the right direction? =(
    Thanks in advance.
    Ovi.

    Did you use MS Word's "Open and Repair" function to open those corrupted .docx files? If files are really very crucial and severely corrupted, then you have to buy a third-party application. This is the only way to recover those files as there's
    no freeware, as far as I think. I have also faced the similar situation of corruption in some of Word .docx files. I tried
    Word Repair Toolbox software to repair my corrupt .docx files.

  • Word 2007 document to PDF file---how?

    I have Windows XP, Word 2007 and Adobe Reader 7.0.
    I have prepared some documents for printing and binding. The printer tells me I need to "place your Word 2007 document into a PDF file with fonts embedded." How do I do that?

  • Corrupted .docx file. Word 2007. Can't open the document. Tags mismatch. Help?

    The Office Open XML file *.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents.
    Details: The name at the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag.
    Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 3487212
    Hmm, I guess I should give some background info and what I've tried so far, right?
    The document is in word 2007, Windows 7. Last night, I was in a hurry, and got a lot of things open. I was opening the document to do a few quick spontaneous revisions, but it was so laggy and I was late for an appointment, so I was feeling panicky
    and frustrated. In hindsight, it probably wasn't the best option to just force shut the PC down cause word stopped responding in the middle of opening the document. Still, while I'm no Sherlock, I knew stopping it while it's in the middle of saving the document
    would bebad, I didn't think stopping it while opening the document (and not really modifying the document at all, at least that was what I thought before), could have drastic consequences! The document's quite
    large, a few hundred words, and about 500 or so pages. It's this really big project I was doing at work, for months now really, and because it's somewhat business confidential in nature, I can't exactly share it freely, or I would've uploaded a copy, sorry.
    Anyway, I woke up this morning and opened it, and the error came up. By the way, the document was saved in a 2TB external hard with a few disk errors in the past, if that helps, even if I'm pretty much sure its not a problem with the hard. The error
    came up... and yeah. I first made a copy, which I've been trying everything on, in case I do end up making things worse. I have no previous versions of it, just a relatively very old backup. Anything less than 80% recovery would set me back weeks with a wage
    cut. The good news is that I was able to open the document in WordPad, managing to recover the first 287 pages (131,543 words), with no errors or data loss, and saved it in a separate file. Apparently, according to information I obtained later, MSWord tends
    to not open at all when it encounters an error, but Wordpad tends to stop reading the rest of the code once it encounters an error. So, naturally, I assumed (so correct me if I'm wrong), that behind a few sentences I might lose due to the error, the rest could
    also be salvageable. I then looked up the problem all over the internet. Read a microsoft article on troubleshooting/recovering corrupted documents (Open & Repair, Draft Mode, Creating Link, Recover text from any file converter, etc). No dice.
    I first saw a similar question on answers.microsoft, and tried to use Tony Jollan's Rebuilder, macros enabled and all. Sadly, no luck.
    I managed to make my first breakthrough when I found out that .docx was just a .zip file, and could be renamed as such, with the document.xml extracted and manually fixed using an XML editor (not that I knew how to do that, but I was desperate and
    willing to learn). So, made another copy, changed extensions, and tried to specifically extract the document.xml. I believe that it is the main body text, right? That is the only thing really necessary for me, since everything I've done so far is entirely
    spartan, with no fancy fonts, formatting, header/footer/notes, media objects, formulas, tables, bullet points, numbered lists, etc. All pure sans-serif text, with some Japanese Kanji thrown in. 500 pages of pure text.
    I then hit a snag, when WinRAR encountered an error on extracting document.xml, stating that "CRC failed in word\document.xml. The file is corrupt". So I tried to fix this using several ZIP repair programs and stuff. Nothing worked. At
    least not so far. Managed to extract an incomplete version of document.xml using WinRAR's 'Keep Broken Files' option when extracting. The extracted
    document.xml came up to 3.31 MB while the original in archive is 7.53 MB. Viewed it in the Windows XML Editor which opened up the text in Internet Explorer, a jumble of text with no line breaks or paragraphs. Still, it actually extracted a few pages less than
    the open-using-Wordpad method tried earlier. So trying to fix the archive again...
    So I decided to give up the manual route for the meantime and focus on readymade solutions. I came across yet another microsoft article, but this one was at least more relevant than the last. It had this auto FixMe thing. I ran it, didn't
    work. Apparently, as I found out later, "This fix will work for one specific tag error where there are equations and graphics in the same paragraph AND Office 2010 SP1 has not been applied."
    Tried several (read: dozens) corrupt Word recovery software, from freeware to pro trials, to varying degrees of effect, although unsuccessful
    in goal. Some failed to read it, saying it was too corrupted for them to handle, the best managed to recover about three-pages-worth less data compared to the Wordpad method. So yeah, anybody with a similar problem, always open it with wordpad first and recover
    what you can. That doesn't mean I'm giving up though.
    So here I am, tearing my hair out in frustration. Whew, I feel like I told you guys my life story. I guess worst case scenario, I report this to my boss, so I personally or from the company, I/we'll hire a team of professionals to deal with it.
    But that's not an ideal scenario. It's gonna be out of my salary either way (the company has a firm policy of 'You reap what you sow'), along with a wage cut for making such an amateurish mistake even with continuous reminders to back it up every two sentences,
    so I'd rather avoid that.
    I'm currently looking to see whether there's a way to recover a previous version of an overwritten document somehow using a third-party software or something. (I didn't have Windows Backup enabled, so no previous version on Windows). So far, no
    autosaved documents on MSWord AutoRecover, even though I have it enabled set to every 3 mins (or maybe I'm just not seeing it since I'm trying to look for it manually?). Or are the temporary files wiped on shutdown? I don't have 'Always save backup copy' option
    enabled on word either.
    So yeah, an auto fix, or a lengthy answer detailing what exactly I should do (from the very very basics), or a link to a site with such info, would be much appreciated. Seriously :D
    Please. Thanks for at least making an effort :)

    When a Word document file is corrupted, then you can try several methods to recover it:
    1. First of all, you can try the recovery function integrated with Microsoft Word, as follows:
    1) On the File menu, click Open.
    2) In the Look in list, click the drive, folder, or Internet location that contains the file that you want to open.
    3) In the folder list, locate and open the folder that contains the file.
    4) Select the file that you want to recover.
    5) Click the arrow next to the Open button, and then click Open and Repair.
    You may find more information about this at:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/recover-the-text-from-a-damaged-document-HP005189610.aspx (for Word 2003)
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893672/en-us (for Word 2007/2010/2013)
    2. If you have multiple corrupt Word documents, then you can use the VBA macro provided in article
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893672/en-us so that all the files will be opened in "Open and Repair" option automatically.
    3. There are also free tools from third-parties that can open and read Microsoft Word documents, for example,
    3.1 OpenOffice at http://www.openoffice.org. This is a very famous open source project that is designed to support Office file formats, including Word documents. The software can run under Windows.
    3.2 LibreOffice at http://www.LibreOffice.org. Another free office suite.
    3.3 AbiWord at http://www.abisource.com. This is a cross-platform tool that works under Unix and Windows.
    3.4 Google Drive at https://drive.google.com/ also support to load Word document files.
    Sometimes when Word fails to open your document, these tools may be able to open it successfully. If that is the case, then after the document is opened, you can just save it as a new document which will be error-free.
    4. For docx files, they are actually a group of files compressed in Zip file format. Therefore, sometimes, if the corruption is only caused by the Zip file, then you can use Zip repair tools such as WinRAR at
    http://www.rarlab.com to repair the file, as follows:
    4.1 Assuming the corrupt document is a.docx, then you need to rename it to a.zip
    4.2 Start WinRAR, go to "Tools > Repair Archive" to repair a.zip and generated a fixed file a_fixed.zip.
    4.3 Rename a_fixed.zip back to a_fixed.doc
    4.4 Using Word to open a_fixed.doc.
    There may still be some warnings when opening the fixed file in Word, just let ignore it and Word will try to open and repair the fixed file. If the file can be opened successfully, then you can just save the contents into another error-free file.
    5. If all above methods does not work, then you may try third-party tools such as DataNumen Word Repair at
    http://www.datanumen.com/word-repair/
    I have used it to repair some word documents successfully. It provides a free demo version so that you can try to see if the data you want can be recovered or not.
    Good luck!

  • Inability to use eps graphics in Word 2007 and make a pdf

    Hi there …
    I work at a small "intellectual capital" company where virtually all of our documents (our products!) depend on embedding eps "pictures" into Word and pdf'ing the result.  While this process works great in Word 2003, it fails miserably in Word 2007 - the "mechanics" work fine and a pdf is produced, but the rendering of the eps images are terrible.  I spent some effort looking into this issue trying to find a solution and came up with the following (thanks in part to this post) ... if anyone has any more details, corrections, or solutions feel free to post!
    It appears that, over the years, there have been three flavors of eps import filters for Word ... (for the curious the filter is found in Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Grphflt\EPSIMP32.FLT )
    The simplest (and oldest) filter basically embeds the eps code unmodified into the Word doc and will display a raster preview of the image if one is included in the eps file.  if the file is printed on a postscript printer or to Acrobat, the eps code is passed through (so it produces perfect pdfs, and the screen image in Word looks as good as the preview image embedded in the eps file). if the file is printed to a generic printer, no image appears (so it doesn't work for joe user).
    The Word 2003-era filter pastes the eps code unmodified into the Word doc, then renders a (very poor) preview image (using an OEM'd eps converter).  if a preview image is in the eps file it is ignored (which is bad).  if the file is printed on a postscript printer or to Acrobat, the unmodified eps code is passed through (so it produces perfect pdfs, though the screen image in Word looks yucky). if the file is printed to a generic printer, the poorly rendered preview image is printed (so it works poorly but better than nothing for joe user - and probably gives joe user a bad impression of eps).
    In what might be an attempt to improve things for joe user, the Word 2007 filter immediately interprets the eps code (using a slightly updated eps converter from the same OEM) and pastes the resulting rendered image into Word. It NO LONGER embeds the unmodified eps code in the Word doc. While the rendered image looks better than filter #2, it still leaves A LOT to be desired - in my brief testing, colors are VERY wrong and curves become choppy. if the file is printed on a postscript printer or to Acrobat, the poorly rendered image is used since the original eps code is gone (unacceptable for my purposes). if the file is printed to a generic printer, the poorly rendered image is printed (so it works better than Word 2003 for joe user).
    So where does this leave anyone that wants to upgrade to Word 2007, use eps images, and make quality pdfs ??
    Filters #1 & #2 were interchangeable in Word 2003.  The true eps experts like #1 the best, and it is by far the simplest technically (76k of code vs 400+k), so they merrily swapped and used it with Word 2003.  (Very) unfortunately filters #1 and #2 do not work with Word 2007 - if they did the problem would be nicely solved.
    Find another graphics file format to work with?  This is undesirable because the "beauty" of #1 & #2 above is the unmodified eps code gets fed to the pdf maker (which itself is native eps) - Word is just a transport (no "transcoding" loss in compression-speak).  if there were an efficient way to convert eps to say wmf (microsoft's proprietary vector graphic format), and the images were able to survive two transcodes (from eps to wmf back to eps for pdf), it might be livable. But of course Adobe Illustrator cannot save as wmv (nor should it IMHO).  Of note - there is another industry standard vector format - svg - which AI can save as but Word does not support. 
    Stay in Word 2003 doc format while using Word 2007 (don't use docx).  Doesn't work. My testing shows a Word 2003 doc file with embedded eps created in Word 2003 (and pdf's correctly in Word 2003) does not pdf correctly in Word 2007.
    Use a work-around. As suggested here, "Open the EPS in Illustrator. Select all, and Edit > Copy. In Word, Edit > Paste Special > Enhanced Metafile."  This seems to work for small images such as logos, but not for larger graphical stuff (probably because of the internal transcoding to WMF).
    Stay with Word 2003.  This appears to be the only workable option for now IF you want to use Word and render eps pictures in pdf's with acceptable quality.
    IMHO the best solution would be to have the very simple 76k filter #1 ported to Word 2007 (those who need the capability can swap the filter files) or (not as optimal but does not require swapping filter files) add the option in filter #3 to still embed the eps code.  Microsoft is the right place to do it, or (politics aside), Adobe could and should do it (given some support from MSFT).
    I am surprised this issue has not caused more rumblings from users - perhaps it has, the symptoms are just worded differently.  Or maybe everyone is just staying with Word 2003 (which is what I have done until now).  The problem is most companies are being forced to upgrade now, so I think this will become a bigger issue for Adobe / Microsoft going forward.
    Thanks for listening.  I look forward to your comments.
    Andy

    Microsoft has released a hot fix that supposedly addresses this issue, it is at
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977468
    I downloaded the fix and tried it; it actually made the problem worse!  Apparently they
    are trying to fix their filter rather than bypassing it.  What I am doing is
    1.  Making maps in AutoCaD Map and printing (plotting in autocad) them to a pdf file
    2.  Opening the pdf file in Acrobat and resaving it as eps
    3.  Importing the eps file into a Word 2007 document
    4.  Use Acrobat to convert the Word document to pdf
    Before the hot fix when I did the process the resolution of the map in the final
    pdf file was not as good as in the original made from AutoCad.  Also the colors were
    not correct.  After installing the hotfix there are still these same problems but also now
    any non horizontal text is not displaying correctly.
    Be careful about trying this hotfix.
    As others have noted, back in Word 2003 the above steps 1 - 4 worked very well and resulted
    in a high quality pdf file with the map as good as in the original pdf.

  • Save as PDF from Word 2007 missing graphics

    A similar question has been asked before, but it's still marked "unanswered" and I still don't know what's going on. All I really wanted to do today was update my resume...
    Sometime during the last two months of 2014, I lost the ability to see graphics like text boxes and images when saving a Word 2007 document as a PDF. I've tried saving it from the "Save As..." option, I've tried saving it from the Acrobat tab, I've tried printing it to PDF - nothing works. If you can visualize this, on the first PDF, a blank space shows up in place of the text box, and on the other PDF, you'd never even know there had been an image inserted at the beginning of the line.
    Does anyone know if this is a Word problem or an Adobe problem? Has an otherwise well-intentioned update (to either program) screwed this up? I'm using Windows 7 and the Firefox browser.

    Are they really missing or there are place holders there? Have you gone to the preferences and turned on View Large Images? As an unrelated comment, do you really want images in a resume? Maybe if you are a graphic artist or such, but images are not common in most resumes I have seen and I would not expect such. However, that is really your choice, just wanted to comment.

  • Need Help Opening a Corrupted File in MS Office Word 2007.

  • Word 2007 Document Recovery Pane Corrupt

    We are using Word 2007 on a Windows 2003 terminal server.
    When each one of our users opens word, the document recovery task pane opens with the same five documents. If you try to use the documents or delete them, it gives an error
    Error Deleting File or Folder
    Cannot delete file: Cannot read form the source file or disk.
    How can I get these to not show up for everyone?

    Hi,
    Thank you for using Word IT Pro Discussions
    forum. 
    The first time that Word is started after a crash, the "Document Recovery" task pane will appear on the left side of the screen.
    If you do not want these files shown in the document recovery task pane, click Start, in the Search box, type regedit and press Enter to open registry editor.
    Locate the registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\Install\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Resiliency
    There will be a key called "document recovery". Delete everything in this key. Once everything in this key is deleted, the problem will go away.

  • Problem convert word 2007 acrobat 8 graphics to pdf

    Having difficulty converting certain graphics from Word on Windows 7 Professional PC to Adobe PDF.
    The same problem exists on the same PC regardless of whether Word 2007 or Word 365 is the originating software. So it is not a problem with the version of Word being used as some blogs have suggested.
    Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.4 is installed, and Adobe 8 Distiller is configured according to the settings required.
    PDF is created by using Word: File > Print > Adobe PDF Maker

    OK.
    Cracked it.  I hope this saves you some time.
    The issues all seem to stem from Word 2007.
    Things to get urls working seem to be as follows :
    all links in word can't have a trailing /
    http://www.subliminal-power.co.uk/ - NO
    http://www.subliminal-power.co.uk - YES
    When you add a url, each url must have a Screen Tip.  You should have this anyway if you're sharing your word doc. It is all for the visually impared and audio I believe.
    You have to use tables and not word art for boxes.

  • What do I set and where to open reader XI directly from WORD 2007

    Since it is impossible to contact anyone directly but requires all this time to be spent rummaging around, my question is:
    How and where do I set what so that a pdf document located in a WORD 2007 folder will open to pdf on the "open" click?  I have a new computer -- I called once on the old computer and some nice and helpful person did it for me, but since everyone now is incognito with no phone I cannot talk to anyone.  Clicking on "help" does not help.

    You need to better explain what you want to achieve. There's no such thing as a "Word folder". There are Word documents... Do you have a Word document with a PDF file attached to it that you want to open with Reader? What happens when you double-click a PDF file directly that's saved on your computer?

  • Converting Word 2007 docs into Adobe Reader

    Anyone having issues converting Word figures into Adobe Reader 9? Once converted into Adobe Reader the object disappears.  All other pictures/figures appear with no problem.

    I will assume that you are using the Print function of Word to produce PDFs of Word files. Even then, I fail to understand what do you mean by "converting Word figures" that "disappear" after conversion, while "all other pictures/figures appear with no problem". Are you trying to say that, when convereting to PDFs one (or more) Word documents containing more than one image, one or more of these are not to be found in the PDF file? If so, I would suspect a problem with that/those image(s).

Maybe you are looking for
