Having issues created a .pdf from a Word .doc.

I tried converting a Word doc today, and was given the error "Missing PDF file maker. Do you want to run this in repair mode?  I click yes, it scans (for several minutes) then no document.  A document icon appears on the opening page, yet when you click on it, it says: ERROR – this document cannot be found."
I tried two other documents I scanned into PDF files – both from excel sheets – no problem. Since this was installed I haven't had any issues until recently. I cannot think of anything that has changed since then.
Is it possible this is a problem with Word?

Well I'm having the same issue. Right now I have a very simple, one page Word doc I want to PDF before emailing. I hit print, chose PDF, picked where I wanted to save file, then . . . Adobe starts to open Word - but only the "title page" comes up and hangs for . . . ever. Adobe says "Please wait, reading PDF file . . . ".
When I open Task Manager - it shows both Word and Adobe PDF as running.
I checked for updates. I can't think of what to do next?
I can chose Adobe PDF in my print menu, I have  new laptop running Windows 7 and Microsoft Home Premiere 2010.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm doing a 'favor' for my mother's friend, now both of them are calling wondering what is taking me so long : }

  • Creating a pdf from a word doc and the image and footer will not show

    I am trying to create a pdf from a word doc that has an image and footer. Neither will show in the pdf. Also getting this message "Adobe Acrobat Updater has not been able to check for updates recently. Check online to see if solutions are available from the Adobe website." My Cloud says it is updated.

    What was the Original?
    If it was from Word, chances are the top and bottom Margins were set too narrow. (should not be less than .5 inches even more safety 1" would be better). As for graphics. Check in Word preferences (may be called different in a windows machine) make sure in view and Print settings "Graphics" is checked (show Graphics and Print Graphics).

  • Font changes when i try to create a pdf from a word doc

    I am trying to create a pdf from a word doc. I have tried multiple times and each time i do the font i used in the word doc gets changed on the pdf

    This seems to be a common problem... this is not the first time I have seen this. Unless it is a general system font, such as Arial, then it seems not to convert too well.
    So, if it doesn't matter what font, then just change the font.
    Hopefully, Adobe fixes this in the next year. xD
    Good luck

  • Having issues Creating a PDF from an Excel file

    When creating PDFs from an Excel file using the Adobe PDF printer, I sometimes run into an issue where the PDF ends up shrinking what's on the document and distorting the image. I have examined all Print Settings and can't find a difference between any of the margin settings, paper size, etc. Once I go to print to Adobe PDF, it just changes the way the whole document looks and is spaced.
    To work around the issue, I use Microsoft's built in Save As PDF feature, but that's only works some of the time. I would like to use the Acrobat software so that I can also edit the document immediately without having to re-open it.

    Be sure Adobe PDF is selected as the printer in the print menu. Then do a print preview. It it looks wrong then, it is likely an Excel format issue.

  • Created a pdf from a word-file and inserted formfields. The fields works in other pdf-readers(nitro,reader etc), but not in adobe reader and acrobat. Please help.

    Hi,
    I have created a pdf from a word-file and inserted formfields for a work related file. I've used nitro pro to create the formfield. They works in nitro, reader, foxit etc. but not adobe reader. From page 3 and out, the font wont show when writing in a formfield. Some formfield doesnt even show.
    Please help me fix this (hopefully before the presentation at work friday) :-)

    Agreed. Adobe makes no claims that their Reader will work properly with forms made from third party software.

  • It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    it used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
    Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.

  • How do I create a pdf from an xps doc?

    How do I create a pdf from an xps doc?

    You could open it in the XPS application and check print preview to see if it comes out as TSN suggests (and likely will). You can go to the printer properties and adjust the page size accordingly.
    You can also use the cropping in Acrobat to size all the pages and then use the Protect>Remove Hidden option to remove the cropped area.

  • Why does choosing "convert to PDF" from a Word Doc's context menu bring up two Save As dialog boxes?

    I have a user that every time she chooses "Convert to PDF" from the context menu on a MS Word document she gets a Save As box, enters the name and location, clicks Save. Then Word starts and it brings up another Save As box and makes her enter the name and save location AGAIN. It does then create the PDF, but it is very annoying to her as she makes lots of PDFs for our board of directors (she is our CEO). I have tried it on other PCs that have a similar setup, but none have done this. They all just run the converter window after one dialog box. Please HELP

    Does your user have custom add-ons besides the Acrobat PDFMaker add-on?  If so, try disabling the other add-ons as a test to see if you get the same results.
    Does your user have a custom template?  Try moving it out and using the standard MS Word template as test?
    Did your user have a previous installation of Adobe Acrobat??  If so, check the Add-ons to see if an older version is still registered with MS Word.

  • Acrobat 9.3.4 issue: Creating single PDF from Multiple PDFs

    Hey all,
    My setup:
    • Mac OS 10.6.4 / Mac Pro dual / 6GB RAM
    • Adobe CS5 Master Collection
    • Acrobat Pro 9.3.4
    Just ran into issue (critical) I have not encountered before, but it is frighteningly reminiscent of the InDesign CS5 problem of the "Document fonts" folder issues and Small Caps/All Caps. Here's the scenario:
    1. In an IDCS5 document I've used the "All Caps" command to give a heading that characteristic (font used is Avenir 95 Black; type 1).
    2. Export to PDF (Print), and receive a correct PDF, with the All Caps designation showing/printing correctly.
    3. Open it in both Acrobat 9.3.4 and Adobe Reader 9.3.4, and the file is correct (see attachment 1, below).
    4. I then make several other single-page PDFs and save them all to a new folder.
    After creating these single-page PDFs for client review, the client has requested that a random number of these PDFs be compiled into a single PDF, which is no problem--it's a common request which we do all the time. The steps for this are:
    1. Launch Acrobat Pro 9.3.4
    2. Choose File>Create PDF>Merge Files into a Single PDF; dialogue box pops up.
    3. Click the "Add Files" button in the upper left corner of dialogue box (Single PDF button is selected in top right corner of box).
    4. Navigation window pops up, allowing me to choose the folder created in step 4, above, which contains the PDFs I need.
    5. Highlight the desired PDFs, and arrange them in the desired order; click on the "Combine Files" button in the lower right corner of dialogue box. 6. PDFs are generated, and I save the resulting PDF; I then open it in either Adobe Reader 9.3.4 or Acrobat Pro 9.3.4 to verify all went well, and to my disappointment, notice the incorrect interpretation of the "All Caps" line of type (see attachment 2, below).
    I have verified that a PDF file exported through IDCS5 works correctly, and making the 'combined' PDF by making a new IDCS5 document and adding the necessary pages and exporting a single PDF works correctly, as well. The problem is that the "Combine..." feature in Acrobat Pro is our workflow, because it allows for single PDFs to be combined into one WITHOUT having to set up a new IDCS5 document specifically for the final PDF; to do so would require countless numbers of IDCS5 files in order to get the randomly chosen pages into one PDF.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if I overlooked a similar post, my apologies. Thanks in advance...
    Cheers!
    Mikey

    The issue is related to font embeddings. If all of the pdfs had contained the entire font set rather than font subsets this would not be an issue. The way to tackle the problem is to use the PDF optimizer to remove ALL font embeddings. Then use the Preflight to to re-embed the fonts.

  • Can no longer create a PDF from a Word file!

    Any idea what this is about?  My PDF/Adobe Printer is also suddenly gone.  I don't use it that much but now I can't use it at all!  I assume this is a forum for Acrobat X.  I thought I'd try reinstalling but I can't figure out how.  I know that sounds stupid--and it is.  But I have spent 45 minutes poking around the Adobe website trying to figure out where I can find the download--I upgraded from an earlier version online..  I have only been using X for a year or so.  (This product is hard to love and not cheap either)

    Thanks!  Repair failed.  I had to call their tech support and eventually was told to reinstall.  WIth the tech the entire process took onlky about an hour and a half (yes, that long!).  Since I had upgraded to Acrobat X Pro a year ago I fortunately kept a record of the saerial number for the prior version.  Near the end the tech hung up on me when I complained about always having to keep records of prior versions. 
    I had the revolutionary--and obviously unacceptable--idea that once you buy the upgrade THAT ought to be the end of things.  Why at each reinstall the darned software would search for a prior version--which wouldn't be there anyway, particularly since the older version was on my old computer which I sent to recycling last summer, is a mystery.  It strikes me as a form of harassment since I didn't spring for the full price in lieu of the upgrade.  User-friendly is not a term I would use to describe my years of experience with Adobe.  Even the website is frustrating.  In the process of this reinstall I was promised some sort of gift from Adobe for filling out some profile information.  I'm not holding my breath waiting to find out what my prize will be and whetgher it was worth another few frustrating minutes!  And I have not mentioned the near-inscrutability of the program itself.  What, for example, is "preflight" supposed to mean when it has no connection to air travel?  And "workflow?"  Whazzat?  Well as long as I can create PDF files, add or delete pages, add footers/headers, add some typed text and struggle with redacting that's all I have time to manage.  Don't get me started.  Even my screen name here--it was supposed to have been updated, too--was what I entered a few years ago in a fit of rage in trying to register for this forum (runuz: "Are you nuts?") 

  • Adobe crashes to desktop when I try to create a PDF from a Word document.

    The PDF does end up getting created, but not before crashing my Adobe to my desktop, or even crashing it to the background so I have to kill Adobe in the task manager in order to get it to start again.  The progress bar used to fill up faster when it was working correctly, but now, the progress bar just slowly fills up under "Reading PDF Document" and then freezes.
    I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64 on a Thinkpad T620.
    Please help!

    It's 9.4.
    We are having multiple issues crop up on this system.  Its MS Office and antivirus are both unstable, and a SQL server update has failed, so I am beginning to suspect that this issue may be a symptom of a bigger problem.

  • Create one pdf from excel, word, and pdf files

    I'm trying to create a single document to distribute (digitally and printable) for a meeting.
    And I'm an Acrobat Pro beginner. :-(
    The files to be included are in pdf, MS Word and MS Excel.
    What is the best way to do this?
    I don't know if I use Portfolio which I tried but then each file apparently needs to be Extracted to be viewed. Not what I want. I want series of files separated by a heading.
    Maybe I need to convert all files first to pdf and then combine in one pdf file but maybe there is a simpler way.
    Appreciate any tips from the experts.
    Thank you.
