How to convert a .doc to a .pdf file

hi everybody,
I am a new user of Mac OSX Tiger. Anyone could help me change the extention of a word document into a pdf version, when I try to do so, I manage to convert the document but when I try o open it, the answer is like: adobe cannot open it because it is not a file type supported document or because the file has been corrupted...
does anyone knows the solution?
thank you!!!!
Leya.

Hi Leya;
There is much more that must be done to a DOC file to turn it into a PDF besides just changing the extension. I don't have Word but I believe if you attempt to print the file there is a button labeled PDF. If you select this opption it will allow you to save the file as a PDF version. If you still have troubles, please let us know.

  • How to convert a jsp into a pdf file

    Hi,
    I am working on a struts based project . In this project i have a jsp which displays table in a nested format , but i have to provide the user a button say
    "GET PDF" on click of which that entire jsp should get exported as a .pdf file as it is .
    1] I cant use display tag because export functionality is not provided for nested table.
    2] I cant figure out how to put an entire jsp as an input stream if i was to use itext (that is if its possible ).
    What are my other options ? Bottom line, what i need is to "make a .pdf file of a .jsp displayed, on a click of a button ".
    Thanks in advance,
    Anjali.

    To start with it isn't the jsp but rather the output of the JSP that you want in a pdf. The solution to that is that you must provide a method that puts the output into a pdf. Normal solutions for that first start by finding an appropriate pdf library of which there are more than one.
    What are my other options ? Bottom line, what i need is to "make a .pdf file of a .jsp displayed, on a click of a button ". Besides finding an existing library you could write your own.

  • How to convert internal table data to PDF format

    HI,
         I have an internal table data having one field with 255 chars. length.I want to send that intenal table data as attachemnt with external mail. i am thinking of converting that data into PDF format and use the FM to send the mail. How to convert internal table data to PDF format.
    Kishore

    In which format is your data in the internal table currently. Is it returned by a smartform/script or its just data fetched from some database table into an internal table. Since its obvious that the data should appear in the PDF with some Layout, you should be using smartform to format the data properly. See the Link
    Smartform to PDF to EMAIL
    This shows convertion of smartform to pdf and send it through email

  • How to convert Apple Mail email to pdf

    I'm a relative Acrobat Pro beginner.
    Like to convert emails to text recognized pdf files. Is it possible?
    I've tried using Print and then Save as a PDF in Apple Mail.  However, I can't text recognize the resulting pdf or convert to one. Keeps giving error message that can't convert the images.
    Probably pdf 101 that I'm missing. :-(
    Thanks for any tips.

    The only way that I am aware of is to purchase and download either Microsofts version of Office or Outlook Stand alone for Mac. Or if you prefer you can download Open Office that is FREE and is Oen Source and has all the features of Microsoft's
    http://www.openoffice.us.com/openoffice/free-open-office-download-yahoo.php?pk=8 45397
    To just pay for Outlook is a little steep for most users. I think you will find using a WEB Based e-Mail will work much better for you like GMail or YahooMail rather than having it on your machine use there servers and they have many more features.
    Cheers

  • How can i change the size of PDF files ?

    how can i change the size of PDF files? when i convert documents in the acrobat browser it seems the files become larger then normal pdf files, this is, i compare with other files that people send to me and i realise that they are smaller than my converted files, even if they have more pages.

    A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
    You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
    Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).

  • How can I perform the conversion of pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The pdf file is too small for me to read right now. Julyan Watts

    How can I perform the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The .pdf file is too small for me to read without a magnifying glass, and the document is more than one thousand pages.

    This answer was not helpful. First of all, I could not find "tech specs"
    anywhere on the Acrobat 11 homepage. And secondly I purchased this software
    for the specific purpose of converting .pdf files to Word. It was only
    after I had completed the purchase that I learnt that Acrobat does not
    permit the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic to Word files  in Cyrillic.
    I feel that Acrobat should have provided this crucial information before I
    allowed my credit card to be debited. That is why I  am now asking for my
    money back. But thanks for your attempt to solve my problem, even if it was
    not successful.
