Help! Screening of text when QuarkXpress converts to PDF

Files we receive for printing from QuarkXpress 7 application files converted to PDF format from within QuarkXpress, often have the text screened. We are printing to digital B&W and color printers as well as a CTP (Computer-to-plate) server. All devises exhibit the same screening characteristics. Adobe tech support can give me no explanation as to why the screening might be occuring. We have both Mac and PC platforms and use SC3 Professional software with the most current updates. The screening shows up on both platforms. Any ideas as to why the screening of text and how to overcome this problem?

If the text is screened (turned to an image) in the pdf then you'll need to go back to the quark file and sort it there. Quark7 will turn many text/vector objects to pixel based images upon output simply due to the stacking order of the objects. Bring all the vector stuff to the top.
One more thing to check for, is that Distiller (or Jaws) is configured to ignore OPI comments. Turning off the OPI XT can be a good start.

Missing Text when using CONVERT to PDF

I am using Acrobat Pro 9 in Wnidows 7 and Microsoft Publisher 2003.
When I use the CONVERT command to create a PDF - it is missing all of the text on the master page.
If I create the PDF with the PRINT command - everything is OK.
PS: The same Publisher File on another computer using Acrobat Pro 8 works fine - CONVERT or PRINT and no missing text
I prefer to use convert because sometimes the PRINT command drops some of the hyperlinks.

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

Hi Janedance1,
If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
Please let us know how it goes.

Sara

Why is the text garbled when I convert a pdf file to microsoft word ?

Why is the text garbled when I convert a pdf file to microsoft word ?

Hi amedah,
Could you please try converting any other PDF file with same fonts and then check.
It might also happen due to use of some poor fonts which result in garbled text.
Is the PDF scanned?
Let me know.

hi when I convert a pdf to word document I get a inccorect conversion, can any one please help me

Hey nikolays87340013,
Thanks for your reply.
Please let me know what version of Adobe Reader you are using.
You might need to check for updates as well as repair installation from Reader Help menu.
While converting scanned PDF into Word, OCR runs automatically and its quality largely depends upon the quality of scanned images and clarity of characters in the PDF.
Please try the same conversion online after signing in at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" and check if the conversion quality varies.
Let me know.

Anubha

When I convert a PDF to a Word doc, it "converts" as a picture and I cannot edit the document. What can I do to get the PDF to convert properly?

When I convert a PDF to a Word doc, it "converts" as a picture and I cannot edit the document. What can I do to get the PDF to convert properly?

Hi conversionnewbie,
Are you able to select the text in Word by triple-clicking inside the text box? (Sometimes text selections can be tricky in converted files.) If you can't select the text, then I'm guessing that the PDF was created from a scanned file (so the text becomes images). Make sure that OCR is enabled when you convert the file to Word. OCR is enabled by default in the ExportPDF web interface, but can be disabled in Adobe Reader. If you're converting to Word from within Adobe Reader, make sure that OCR is enabled and that the correct language is selected:
Please let us know that works for you!
Best,
Sara

Hi Nakul ,
Could you please explain me the work flow ?How are you trying to convert the PDF?
Is it happening with all the PDF' or any specific one ?
What exact version of Acrobat are you using?
Did you try repair your Acrobat ?If not please try repairing it and see if that works for you .
You might also try to check the update for your version of Acrobat .
Also ,you can go to preferences and under documents see if the first option .i.e Restore last view settings when Reopening documents is check marked or not .
Please try the above mentioned steps and see if that fixes the issue.

Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows Word Program. I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.

Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows Word Program. I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.

Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...

How to add body text when sending output as PDF in email?

Hello,
We are using standard SAP to send SD output as PDF in an email (in output type we choose medium 5, email address is taken from customer master. In transaction SCOT is indicated that SAPscript/smartforms are converted to PDF. When the output is generated, we run rsconn01 to trigger the actual sending of the email).
Via form TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE we can modify the subject of the email that is send to include e.g. the order number. HOWEVER, in the body of the email that is send, we now only have the PDF, but we also would like to add a standard text in the body of the email. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
It seems that your PDF file requires Asian fonts to draw the text so please make sure the Asian font package was installed from Adobe web site then close your Adobe Reader and reopen the PDF file in Reader .

When I convert a PDF to Word it fails....

Using Trial version of Acrobat Pro 11.0.0 on a Macbook Retina Pro Mid 2012 on Mavericks 10.9.3
Ive tried using the Tools box and the File menu to convert a PDF file to a Word document but each time it fails.
The pop window says "Save as failed to process this document. No file was created."
Ive watched the videos and can't see any different ways of doing this.@
The pdf file is 787.5MB as it includes media and type and is the basis for a book i wish to upload, but I need to make some adjustments.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi karenta,
Can you please tell me what the exact error message is?
Do you know how the PDF file was created (what application created it)? Are you able to convert other PDF files?
Please tell us a bit more about the document that you're trying to convert.
In the meantime, you try clearing the browser cache, or using a different web browser.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara
