How do I convert a read only word doc to a read only pdf file?

How do I convert a read only word doc to a read only pdf file?
Thanks, Linda

Hi Linda,
I just tried it, and was able to convert a Word .doc to to PDF, in spite of the fact that it was marked Read Only. Here are the instructions for uploading and converting to PDF with Acrobat.com:

  • My Word docs are NOT saving as PDF files.

    I go to "File, Print, PDF, Save as PDF, save doc to my desktop, click Save"...it "processes" then chimes alerting me it's completed, but the PDF is NO WHERE on my desktop (or anywhere on my laptop for that matter!!)
    The interesting thing about this problem ONLY happens when I CREATE that particular Word document. If someone emails me a Word doc and I download it and then open it up in Word, I am then ABLE to save it as a PDF. Soo, I tried emailing the file I created to myself...downloaded it, and tried to save as a PDF, same thing happens as before....no where to be found.
    Helpppp. I am SO frustrated. THANKS

    Okay - could be a bad file or a document with a goofy format, size, or table of contents snafu.
    I had issues with Acrobat 9.x with Word 2010 (Windows).  I stopped using Acrobat and just started doing what you're doing - saving direct from Word > PDF - and haven't had an issue since (other than bloated file sizes even saving as "minimum").
    So my advice is to look at your document.  It could be a TOC thing, or a large image, or something else messing up the engine.
    Remember, Office 2007, 2010, and 2011 all save DOCX as XML files.  So the "converter" (save-as-PDF) is rendering XML > PDF.

  • How can i convert New Microsoft Office Word Document to adobe

    how can i convert New Microsoft Office Word Document to adobe

    Hi itchigo,
    You can use Microsoft Word's inbuilt feature of converting the doc to pdf by simply selecting Save As> 'pdf doc format' from the drop down.
    Please refer: http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/save-as-pdf-HA010354239.aspx#BM11
    Adobe Reader does not have the capability of converting docs to pdf or vice versa. It can only be used to read pdf files.

  • How can I convert an Applework document to .doc (Windows)?

    Does anyone know how can I convert an Applework document to .doc (Windows)?

    You can save an AppleWorks word processing document as Word using File > Save As… You will need to add the .doc extension as AppleWorks won't do it for you.
    If you don't see Word as an option in the file type drop-down menu you likely have moved the AppleWorks application from the AppleWorks 6 folder and/or deleted the support folders, especially the AppleWorks Essentials folder where the translators reside.

  • How to get folder(directory path only not file path) from local file system

    Hi Firends,
    How to get folder(directory path only not file path) from local file system , whenevr i will click on browse button.
    Please give reply for this one , if anybody knows.
    Thanks,
    Anderson.

    Hi Anderson,
    if you're using flash.filesystem.FileReference - then it is run in black box - except of filename, size and creation data (and few other properties available after some operation succeeded). This is part of security features in Flash runtime (described in header section):
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/FileReference .html
    This for example implies that user can download a content to local machine - but that content cannot be loaded back into Flash runtime. For this you would need either Air runtime flash.filesystem.File:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml
    (so you would created Air runtime based application: desktop or mobile but not web, even as standalone project) or you would need one of 3rd party tools that add file access/file information features to standard Flash runtime applications converted to standalone native applications.
    hth,
    kind regards,

    How can I download and read a SWF file on IPad 2? The message returned is that Safari cannot download that file

    SWF files are flash files, which are not supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
    If you want to play the file then the iSwifter or Skyfire browser apps might work (they don't work on all flash sites) but you won't be able to download it

    Hi,
    I am facing the same problem. Please help me out. I just want to read a PDF file as bytes from one location and write it as another pdf file in some other location with a diolog box prompting to open or save in the location where we want.
    I executed the following code:
    try{
    File report =new File(location);
    BufferedInputStream in=new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(report));
    response.setContentType("application/x-download");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + report.getName());
    OutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();
    int readlen;
    byte buffer[] = new byte[ 256 ];
    while( (readlen = in.read( buffer )) != -1 )
    outs.write( buffer, 0, readlen );
    outs.flush();
    outs.close();
    in.close();
    response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException fileNotFoundException) {
    PrintWriter out= response.getWriter();
    out.print("<center><Font color = 'RED'><b>"+PxDSLUtils.getApplicationProperty("label.error.CTM_E017")+"</b></Font></center>");
    Though it prompts with open, save dialog box when i try to open directly or when i save it some where locally and then open it i am getting the following message " File is repaired ot damaged.Operation failed." Any idea about what can be done??? Its very urgent.Please suggest.
    I am not convetin to string just reading and writng as bytes itself.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mani

  • How to read from pdf file using VB

    I have a PDF file which contains three columns, emp no, designation, contact_info. I have 10 rows in that pdf file. I want to read row by row from the pdf file and write into another text file(tab delimited) using VB.
    Could you please help me reading the pdf file?
    Thanks,
    Arindam

    Without reading it in detail, this seems to be automating a save as text function in Acrobat. This will not give you any position information.
    If you want position information without writing a plug-in, you need to use the getPageNthWord and getPageNthWordQuads methods in JavaScript.
    If you have not already done so, you will need to download the Acrobat SDK which has the documentation you need.
    Writing in C# makes even very simple things complicated; if you have a choice, consider VB.
