How do I create a 300 dpi PDF from a Word 2003 file?

I need to convert a Word (2003) file to a High-res PDF file for the printers. They have requested 300 dpi.
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (trial version).
The file contains a number of pictures in jpg format. Most of these are pretty high resolution. The document printed in Word on a laser printer looks fine.
I did try saving the file a a PDF file, and that did work, however it was low resolution. There must be some settings I have to change. How do I set things so it will creat a high resolution PDF file?

There is no such thing as resolution of a PDF file. Text and vectors in PDF are preserved and get scaled depending on the device on which PDF is shown.
Images in PDF do have a resolution that you can set when creating PDF. When printing your file from Word:
After File>Print, select printer properties.
In "ADobe PDF Settings" tab, you will see "Default Settings" - click the Edit button next to it.
In the Images pane, select your desired resolution.

How do I create. A single PDF from multiple files? PDF pack on iOS
The primary reason I signed up for. PDF Pack was to create a single PDF from multiple image files and other PDFs .
Is this possible? If so how
thanks in advance

Hi Rich,
The combine files feature isn't available when you're using Reader for iOS. However, you can log on to the web interface at Adobe Acrobat.com using your Adobe ID and credentials, and use the Combine Files feature there.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.
The word file has a trim size of 6” x 9”. It has been set to mirror margins with the inner, top and bottom margins set to 0.75”, the outer margin is set to 0.5” and the gutter to 0.14”.
It doesn’t matter if I create the PDF from inside Word, or open Acrobat Pro 11.0.9 and click Create From File, while the resulting document size is correct and the odd numbered pages reflect the correct margins, the even numbered pages do not. This results in some text near the outer margin, as well as the page numbers being omitted.
Does anyone know how to correct this?
I just noticed that some of the odd numbered pages' text is also cropped. Apparently Acrobat is refusing to set side margins to smaller than 1" (@ 3cm).

I'm away from my printer, so I'll try it later. Even so, the proposed test is irrelevant. I operate a small publishing house and am trying to upload certain novels to Ingram, the largest book distributor in the world. The specifications I've set are the specifications they've asked for. Since they've said that the results I'm obtaining are unacceptable, and since they demand submission in PDF form, this renders Acrobat Pro for Mac completely unacceptable for anyone in the publication industry. As far as I can tell, Adobe has a serious bug here that it needs to fix—and at once.

Making non-standard size pdfs from Microsoft Word 2003 on pc

I have Acrobat 8 Professional (pc, Windows XP op system), and want to know how to make a pdf from Microsoft Word (2003) where the dimensions of my document remain as they are, a non-standard size, such as 5.5" x 8.5". All the choices of "paper size" are standard only, and if I check "Custom" and type in the non-standard dimensions, it doesn't work. In other programs, such as InDesign, I can make a pdf of any document size I want with no problems. Does anyone know how to make this work for Word on pc?

You can create a custom page size for Acrobat.
In Word:
File > Print (choose AdobePDF) > Properties.
On the Adobe PDF Document Properties tab, choose Add next to Adobe PDF Page Size.
Type in a name for your new custom page size and type in your dimensions.
Click Add/Modify to close that window, then select your newly created paper size from the drop down.
Click Ok to close that window
Click OK to print
For future printing, you would not have to redefine the page, just choose it from the dropdown.

How to create a 300 dpi pdf file?

I have to send a 300 dpi PDF file, and I'm using Adobe Reader XI. But I can't find a way to raise the resolution or the files I create. What can I do?

Welcome to a surprisingly complicated world.
Adobe Reader is not an editor. Adobe Acrobat is an editor.
PDF files do not have a simple resolution. Rather, they are a mixture of text, line art and shapes - neither of which have resolution - and images. Images each have a separate resolution.
Acrobat Pro has a preflight tool. It can check things like "are there any images less than 300 dpi".
No responsible tool would ever INCREASE the resolution of files you create. This would vary between pointless and dangerous; it could have a catastrophic effect on work you pay a lot of money to print. You must start with higher quality originals, if you have a low resolution PDF it is too late to fix it - like trying to turn chicken soup back into chicken.

How to create a 4 page pdf from images - each page should open at same size

How do I create a 4 page pdf (from 4 images - all the same size) that opens each page at full page size?
Thank you so much.
Ginger
PREVIOUS MSG:
My goal is to create multi page pdfs that are created from images (scans of old brochures). I receive images (scans of pages) all at the same size.
I have been able to create the 4 pdfs (each opens at full page size) and merge into 1 pdf. When I open that final pdf, I see a column of 4 pages, page 1 image being larger than the remaining 3. When I click on the left, page 1, icon, I get the full page. When I click on icons for pages 2 - 4, I get nothing. The only way I can get the other pages in a full page view is to adjust the scaling after left icon is selected. That is not what I want.
How I created the files.
I can either create pdf pages using Photoshop, or using Acrobat Pro itself through:
File> Create PDF> From File and adding each of the images. I then, for each, choose Properties> Initial View> Fit Page> Save. Then I use File> Combine> Merge Files into Single PDF> Save.
Then I open the multi page pdf.
I appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Ginger

It seems to me what you want to do is create one document which a combination of all four and then one page of each.
To create a Document with 4 pages combined in to one PDF. open the first in a Series the to Edit menu and click on add pages click on next document (browse to document first) the choose attach to to end of document or add to end of document. Repeat until you get all images added. They will end up (or should ) center in center of their own page. Save this document with a new name for now.
Next go back to Photo shop and reduce size of images to fit desired sheet of paper (8-1/2 by 11, 8-1/2 by 14, whatever) place them side by side and row by row so you have 4 images on one page.
now save as Pdf.
now decide which you want to swap to the Thumbnails (the 4 on one page, or 4 individual pages. I would use the thumbnails and make each a button that references the page in the document you save as a 4 page pdf that applies.
Then on that page write a line saying click each illustration to see full size image (you might have to write this line while in Photoshop) then save this as PDF file
Try out. You might have to use some javascript controls to do this. But I am not experienced in JavaScript to do this. I'm sure it cane be done.
But note you will have to save both documents with the Thumbnails and the four page and Thumbnail page in a folder and send to prospect
If you want just four separate pages in one Pdf just do first two paragraphs above

Some pictures are removed while creating pdf from MS word

Hi
I have some problems with creating PDF from MS word 2007 file.
I'm using Acrobat X pro and MS office 2007. My system is windows XP Pro SP3.
I'm making some documents including many tables and figures. They're created and modified in MS word and when I publish them, I have to convert them in PDF files.
At first, the body of the document and figures are separated. I converted them individually and insert the figure pdf files to the body pdf files.
One day, my boss wanted to combine the seperated word file into one file and I did it. There was no problem before I created PDF file.
There are sample of the PDF.
This is a part of missing picture. After conversion, another parts are unseen and I can find only this part.
Sorry that I can't reveal all parts of picture.
As you see up there, a little part of whole pictures are found (but they are reversed) and another pictures are just missing.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

I don't know about the PC version but in the Mac version if you don't have drawing objects checked in Print and
in the view menus, when you print to PDF, the images won't be there.
I would assume there are the same settings in PC even if you Print to PDF printer or what other method available to PC.

How do I set to 300 DPI when exporting?

I have a real problem here. I use an Apple iMac with the base software, iPhoto.
When I export and burn to a CD, the photos are evidently being exported at a very low (72) DPI. I've had complaints from publishers and a stock agency that my images are not at 300 DPI. Yet I cannot figure out how to set DPI when exporting.
One stock agency owner told me to click on "preferences" and look there for where to set DPI. I did so, and found nothing whatsoever about DPI settings. He (the stock agency owner) doesn't use an Apple, so he was probably basing his "preferences" suggestion on where one would go if they were using a Windows-based program, or if one were using Photoshop.
If anyone can tell me how to set the DPI using the software I have I would appreciate it. I don't need to know how to do this in Photoshop or Aperture, as I don't have these programs, and I do not intend to get another editing program. How do you do it using only iPhoto - that's my dilemma.
Thanks!

Tom:
DPI only comes into play when you set a size to be printed. Say you have an image that is 1600 x 1200 pixels in size. iPhoto when exported would report it at 72 dpi and a print size of 22.22 inches x 16.66 inches. If you you wanted a 300 dpi print from that photo you would have to print it at 5.33 inches x 4 inches.
It doesn't make any difference what the dpi is reported as long as the pixel dimensions are large. What size prints are offered by the stock agency? Take the largest that you photos would be offered at and multiple each dimension by 300 to get the number of pixels you would need to provide in the file. For example an 8 x 10 would require a minimum of 2400 x 3000 pixels. An 11 x 14 - 3300 x 4200 pixels.
To get a photo to report a specific dpi it must be set to be printed at a particular size. Photoshop can do that. The print size is included with the other info embedded in the file that would let other image applications see the dpi and the print size. For more info on this read The Myth of DPI. Watch this video screenshot of changing the dpi of a photo in Photoshop. Watch as the print size changes with dpi changing but the pixel dimensions remain the same.
iPhoto cannot set the print size for exporting.
Bottom line: if you were to provide an image at 3300 x 4200 pixels (an 11x14) it should be sufficient for any size up to that size. Photoshop Elements for Mac, at $79 (Amazon.com) has about 75% of Photoshop's capabilities at 1/7 the cost. It's really a very powerful, consumer oriented image editor. Ask them what the minimum pixel dimensions are for the photos.

Create PDF from a Word document within Acrobat

Hi!
I am having trouble to create a PDF from a Word document within Acrobat itself, and not by using PDF Maker in Word. When I try to create a PDF using Acrobat, it gives me the choice to choose any Office format file, but Word format doesn't appear. I can convert from an Excel document or a PowerPoint document, but not from a Word document, even if Word 2010 is installed and works perferctly. Why?
I know I can make a PDF in Word itself by printing to the Adobe PDF printer or by using PDF Maker, but I want to resolve the issue in Acrobat that prevents me to select a Word document in the Create PDF dialog window. You can see the dialog box in the screenshot attached.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am using Acrobat X version 10.1.8 on Windows 7 Home Premium and I have Office 2010 installed (with Word 2010).

Thanks for your reply. PDF Maker works in all of my Office applications. However, in Acrobat, the file formats available for me to create PDF from figure all the Office file formats except the one for Word. This is not normal. At my school, Acrobat X and Office 2007 are installed, and I can use there both PDF Maker in Word and creating PDF from Word document within Acrobat.
So I think maybe there's a key in my Windows registry that is not set correctly? or something like that. I repaired the installation of Office 2010, and I did so for Acrobat X too, but it doesn't help. Any idea of how I can resolve that?

How to open and read pdf and micrsoft word (.doc) files or documents

My problem is how to use my BB 9800 software version 6.0.0.546 to read/view pdf files and microsoft office documents. I have also bought documents to go from online and have installed it on my phone, but whenever i try to open it I receive a message that it is incompactible. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Sammy.
Why not install a 3rd party PDF reader and Word Doc reader to help open and read pdf and micrsoft word (.doc) files or documents? You can google it and select one whose way of processing is simple and fast to help you with the related converting work. It will be better if it is totally manual and can be customized by users according to our own favors. Remember to check its free trial package first if possible. I hope you success. Good luck.
Best regards,

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).

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