Trouble converting Word 2003 document

I must be doing something wrong. It seemed simple enough to convert a simple Word 2003 document to PDF. When I go to open the PDF file in Word, up pops a window "select the encoding that makes your document readable: (choices are) windows (default), MS-DOS, other encoding [lists several languages and alphabets). I select "windows", and all I get is gobbledy-****.
When I email myself the PDF file

I'm sorry you're having trouble... can you kindly respond and provide as many details as possible about what you're trying to accomplish, and where exactly you are running into trouble? Do you have an Acrobat.com account? By "downloaded the Adobe" do you mean you've downloaded the desktop version of Acrobat?
Thank you,
Michelle

Word 2003 Document Won't Convert

Trying to convert a Word 2003 document with some graphics. Conversion process seems to stall mid-point. Waited 23 minutes and gave up. Suggestions? Thanks!
Susan

Hi Susan,
Thank you for your post.
Please try two things:
1. Make sure you have the most recent version of the Adobe Flash Player. You can download it here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
2. Try opening Acrobat.com and running CreatePDF in a different browser to see if that helps.
Let us know how this works for you! (It is certainly possible that the graphics are causing the stall, in which case we'll ask to see the document for further troubleshooting.)

How do I convert a text, word or photo to a pdf coc for E-Mail?

Install Acrobat XI (Standard or Pro).
Use Acrobat's create PDF feature for supported file formats (TXT, RTF, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, TIFF and others are supported).
Use the installed Adobe PDF virtual printer to "print" a PDF from any application that can print to an installed printer.
Be well...

Page numbers display as 5 of 1 and 2 of 2121 in a PDF that was created from a Word 2003 document

We merge several Word 2003 documents into 1 larger document that we then convert to PDF. The page numbers in the Word document display properly - 1 of 21, 2 of 21, 3 of 21, etc. We then convert that merged document to PDF by right-clicking the filename and choosing "Convert to Adobe PDF". For those of us with Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.1.3, the page numbers in the converted PDF file display as 1 of 1, 2 of 1, ... 21 of 1. Those with Acrobat Professional 8.1.3, they display as 1 of 21, 2 of 2121, 3 of 212121, etc., each page adding another total number of pages to the total. There is no change in the result if using v8.0.0 or 8.1.4 Does anyone have any ideas???

Unless you have a specific reason to upgrade to OFFICE 2007, I would not recommend it. I hate it -- have it on two computers. I have had problems creating PDFs reliably from WORD 2007 and PPT 2007, at least with graphics. The conversion seems to want to split graphics up into several parts rather than leave it as one. It does not happen with WORD 2003 and so assume this is some sort of issue with OFFICE 2007. You can get the graphics fine if you use the MS plugin for PDF creation, but then you have to deal with the MS version of a PDF. If you want to try it on one computer in your office, I would do that before you make the change. However, if what you have meets the need, then why change unless there are specific items that you are looking for and don't have.
OK, that is my opinion. I am sure there are counter arguments. If I had the preference on my newer machines, I would have OFFICE 2003. Bill

Printing microsoft word 2003 document and pdf created from the document are different

I created a microsoft word 2003 document with jpg pictures and printed it on my HP Inkjet printer. I then created a pdf by saving as a pdf from the microsoft word 2003 document. The settings for images were 300 dpi and zip compression. The pdf file created was ~3 MB whereas the word document was ~250 KB. It looked fine on the screen but when I printed it the jpg pictures from the pdf were very dark and not very desirable. When I printed it on my HP Color laser 2600n printer I couldn't see the difference in the jpg pictures.
I am creating the pdf files to send to the online publisher lulu.com to print. I have used the settings to create the pdf they recommend from their website; however they aren't real clear in the information they give for the recommended settings.
My question is why would the print out be so awful using the HP Color Ink Jet printer since it is very good for printing pictures?

There are many reasons, but most revolve around the color space and coding for the colors. Acrobat uses 8 bit RGB.

Embedded Excel in Word 2003 document Becomes Corrupt when Saved

We have a Word 2003 document with Embedded Excel sheets in it. When this document is saved and reopened, you cannot edit the excel tables, you just get the message "document corrupt, no longer available".
Detect and Repair doesn't fix it, it seems to make the excel table a picture or object that cannot be edited.
What is the fix for this?

How do I open a microsoft Word 95 document in Pages?

How can I open a Microsoft Word 95 document in Pages?

The document format is too old. Download the free LibreOffice, and then open this Word '95 document with it. Then export to a different filename.doc, or filename.docx, and then open in Pages.

When I try to convert an existing Word intake form into a fillable PDF, I get an unexpected error.

When I try to convert an existing Word intake form into a fillable PDF, I get an unexpected error message and it will not convert. I am using Adobe XI Pro. Any thoughts on why this is occuring. I would like to avoid creating an entire new form from scratch. If this doesn't work, I will not be purchasing the full version of the software as none of my Word files seem to be converting.

I used the document which I downloaded from Adobe called "Convert and existing form into a fillable PDF form with Adobe Acrobat XI".
At tope right , Tools pane
Open the Forms panel, Click Create
Select Existing Document and click Next
Choose Word file
Error: "An unexpected error occurred. PDF Maker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
I have tried several of my forms and none of them work. There is no word attachment option to show you an example.
Thanks

I need to turn an indesign document into an editable pdf. how do I do that?

I need to turn an indesign document into an editable pdf, how do I do that?

InCopy is a solution, but it's not the only viable solution.
I update many books, from 200 pages to 3,200 pages every year, long document, very techincal tax books.
Some are done through InCopy, some are edited word files and rtfs exported from InDesign, some are marked up hard copies etc.
It totally depends on the clients technical ability with computers. Last year I taught over 30 authors of ours how to use InCopy. Some were receptive, some were dubious, some were totally clueless.
And on the dubious and totally clueless I spent more time troubleshooting their problems than I would normally with a Word/RTF option.
Some people are capable of switching to InCopy or even know how to use it in the first place. For anyone never used InDesign or InCopy before then it's a massive learning curve to jump from MS Word et al word processors, to InCopy.
I do agree, it is the best solution that's out there, technically. But that solution is not usable by a lot of people.
Yeh if the client is comfortable with InCopy then it's the way forward.
But in most cases, in my experience, it's faster and more efficient to Export the text as RTF and let the author update the RTF. That leaves you in control of reinserting the text and formatting it correctly. Rather than letting the client add bold, underline, italics, superscript, subscripts, crazy workarounds because they didn't know how to do it properly. And in the end you end up with 2 or 3 times the amount of work than is necessary, just cleaning up what the client has done in InCopy that does not suit the overall formatting of the publications.

How to convert pfd to Word 2003?

I just purchsed Adobe Export pdf ; however, it does not convert to Word 2003. I can use Wordpad but the formatting is inaccuragte. Help.

If you update Adobe Reader to 10.1.4, the .doc option will be available in the drop-down menu of the Export PDF Files section within the Tools Pane.
Otherwise, simply log into the ExportPDF web interface athttp://exportpdf.acrobat.com/signin.html. Before selecting your file to convert, change the drop-down menu to .doc.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

How do I convert a file located in my e-mail from PDF to Word. I can't seem to save it in my word files.

How do I convert a file located in my e-mail (that is secured) from PDF to Word. I can't seem to save the PDF file anywhere.

Hi williamf,
For starters, please try triple-clicking in the Word document where you want to edit the text (sometimes, that's what it takes to select text in Word). If that doesn't work, I'd be interested in hearing more about the PDF file that you converted and the method that you used to convert it. For example, how was the PDF created (and by what app)? Did you convert via Adobe Reader (what version) or via the ExportPDF website?
If you can tell us more about the file, we should be able to get to the bottom of things.
Best,
Sara
