Handwriting in Office 2007 wont convert to pdf file, Acrobat Pro 9

Im using Acrobat pro 9 and Office 2007.
I have a word 2007 file with handwriting in it, when I right click on the file and select "convert to pdf", it convert the file without the handwritting.
The strange thing is that in word 2007, if I choose to print the document with the adobe pdf printer, the pdf created that way keeps the handwriting.
Why does the right click option to convert the file drops the handwriting???
Other strange thing, when I was using Office 2003 the problem wasn't there.

Using pdfmaker 9 in office 2007 uses a different method to create a pdf. Older versions would use a print route (Like printing to the adobe pdf printer but including extra features)
Can you post a sample Word file using your favourite file hosting service, or acrobat.com?

  • How do I edit/convert a pdf using Acrobat Pro?

    I am trying to convert/edit(not sure of the proper term to relay my dilemna; my experience with Acrobat Pro and pdf's is limited.) a pdf file.  I want to use edit some of the content on the document.  I am aware of the "typewriter" tool and have used this in completing pdf documents fo "fill in" the blanks (ex: completing an application); however, this will not work when I try to edit the actual content.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Keep in mind you HAVE to use very "simple" language when explaining to me how I do this, ha!
    Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

    Maybe you need to remove your PDF security so then you can edit it. Adobe Acrobat cannot edit the limited PDF files.
    Remove the PDF security
    I am now using Adreamsoft PDF eidtor, With this smart PDF edit software, you can edit the text, images, annotation, layouts and pages of a PDF file. And you can also edit a PDF file by setting security password.

  • Converting a PDF file to Word format issue

    I am using Adobe Reader XI 11.0.09 with the paid side bar to convert the pdf file to an editable Word 2007 format. The problem is that the formatting after conversion is really bad and getting worse, example of the most recient: "I n  a cont ingent circumstance, an effect  results  from  clearly definable causes, t hough t he effect could be  different, given an entirel y  possible and  different interrelation of  causes. In   short, a  contingent  event   or thi ng is a nonnecessa ry event or thi ng tha t either might  not  exist or could  be other than it is."
    The conversion in the past was never this bad and I was hoping it was some setting but I have not found a way to tweak the settings in the converter. I have converted many pdf files and had no problems with the outcome of the conversion until recently.
    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

  • No Microsoft files listed in the settings "convert into PDF files"

    Hi, I wanted to convert different Microsoft Office files, but it doesn't work. There are no Microsoft files listed in the settings "convert into PDF files". I had the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on a MAC in Windows that runs trough Parallels. Hope somebody can help. Thx

    Hi Rahul,
    many thanks for your suggestion.
    Yes, Parallels is a virtual machine on the top of MAC and I can see all files in the Windows Explorer. Also the ones I created on the MAC top with the Microsoft Office Software Word or Excel for MAC as well the ones I created earlier on a Windows PC.
    Unfortunately there is no possibility to convert files into PDF format with a click on the right mouse. And Adobe also doesn't open Word documents because it doesn't support this format.
    But nonetheless it wouldn't be a solution that I prefer to convert in adavance every single file in a PDF format. I need to create a PDF package from different formats.
    I assume this issue has to do something with MAC or Parallels, because this function of the Adobe Versions Acrobat 8 Pro and XI Pro work well on a Windows PC. I just don't understand why there are no Microsoft Office file formats listed in the Adobe settings. This settings also can't be changed. I tried to find out but couldn't find any hint for this problem thus I'm a bit at a loss... Maybe you have another idea?
    Regards

  • ALL MY DESKTOP APPS CONVERTED TO PDF FILES.

    After sending an urgent email attachment in Adobe PDF to Government Offcom, all my Desktop applications in windows 7 64 bit have been converted to PDF files and cannot be opened.   The attachment used was sent to me by my Secretary remotely using an old MAC.
    I can return my laptop to normal operation by un installing my Adobe Reader 11 app, but the problem returns when I re Download Adobe Reader
    11 again.     After discussing this with Adobe Technical in London they advised me to raise this issue with your Adjudicators in this Forum. 
    Please assist asap as this is very urgent right now for several genuine reasons.

  • How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which makes a PDF of a web page interactive, to work in Firefox 4.0.1?

    I just installed (on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) operating system/Intel i5 CPU M560 2.67 GHz) and am now using as my default browser Firefox 4.0.1 because Internet Explorer 9 was giving me so much trouble--lack of display of web content, lack of PDF reproduction when web content displayed, screwball formatting display, etc., all of which has been remedied by the mere installation of Firefox 4.0.1.
    How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which converts a web page to an interactive PDF, to set up and work on Firefox 4.0.1?

    You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

  • I need to convert a pdf file to word

    I'm trying to convert a pdf file to a word document, so i tried to use adobe reader and it asked me to sign up, i tried to sign up and it told me i couldn't purchase it (the adobe export pdf pack) since it is not available for my country. what do i do??

    Sorry, but your country isn't on the list of supported locations for Acrobat.com subscriptions

    Over time Adobe does add more choices, but in your specific case there are no options for any Adobe Store purchases, so I don't expect it will change anytime soon. Acrobat.com services aren't available through resellers.

  • I downloaded the adobe XI software and it shows in my Adobe download assistant as downloaded but I can not open it and it is not a part of my applications. Very frustrating download process as I just want to convert a PDF file to an editable word document

    I downloaded the adobe XI software and it shows in my Adobe download assistant as downloaded but I can not open it and it is not a part of my applications. Very frustrating download process as I just want to convert a PDF file to an editable word document...

    Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat.   By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
    If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
    You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

  • How can I convert a PDF file in a CVS file

    I receive from my bank the monthly bankstatement as PDF file.
    How can I convert a PDF file in a CVS format in order to download this in a budgetprogramme on my computer?

    Try converting your PDF file to an Excel (.xlsx) file with the ExportPDF service.  You can then use Excel to save that file as a .CSV file.  ExportPDF does not output .csv

  • Is it possible to convert several pdf files (into Excel or Word) at the same time ?

    I'd like to convert several pdf files (up to 500) into Excel at the same time. Is it possible ? How many files can Export PDF handle at the same time ?
    Thanks a lot for your answers,
    Sylvain

    Hi, Sylvain.
    This is a great idea! Currently, ExportPDF only can export 1 file at a time. (Acrobat can do a batch export using it's Action Wizard feature.)
    I added your idea to our idea list: http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/1499. If you'd like to see us add this feature, please go vote or add comment to this Idea on the idea list.

    Hello
    I need to convert a pdf file into a rtf file or doc file.
    But i need to do this with a command line or with the api of acrobat.
    My version is adobe acrobat 9 standard.
    Is it possible to do this?
    So i see there's a convert pdf online.
    Is it possible to use this whith a web service?
    The final file (RTF or doc) must be analyse into an application
    Best regards

    Look at the doc.saveAs JavaScript method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
    You can save to other formats when you include the corresponding cConvID parameter. It can be used in a batch sequence, but you'll need the Pro version for that.

  • Converting a PDF file to Word

    I'm trying to convert a PDF file to Word by using Adobe ExportPDF online. The file uploads okay and then the screen says it is converting - but it simply keeps displaying the "working" logo and never actually finishes. Any thoughts as to why this is so?

  • In converting a pdf file to xlxs it did not convert the first 48 lines.

    When I converted a pdf file that I originally created in Excel, it did not convert the first 48 rows of info.

    Good day Hudda,
    I've seen this behavior a few times over the last few months.  You could try disabling the 'Recognize text' function, but it may not help.  We're anticipating an update to the ExportPDF service within the next few weeks that should help with issues like this, but I don't have an immediate solution for you.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.
