How to create pdf from a word doc that can be edited then turned into a form?

I am very new to Acrobat so try to be kind when responding with tech talk. I would like to make a template for property inspection complete with pictures, text and drop down lists. I would like it to be editable (add my pictures and notes and a date field) and still be able to be distributed. Basically a template form that I fill out, then distribute for another person to add comments and approve through check boxes. Thanks.

All of that is possible with a standard PDF form, except for the part about adding pictures if it has to work with Reader. It used to be possible, but they removed it. If the user will be using the full version of Acrobat (Standard or Pro), everything is available.
More information about creating forms is in the Acrobat help doc, and a number of forms-related tutorials are avialable at: http://www.acrobatusers.com
If you have specific questions, post again.

How to creat pdf from microsoft word

How do I edit pdf files

You don't. Thats why they are saved as .pdf files to prevent changes.
You can create PDF files form Word on windows, by printing to a PDF Virtual Printer (you can google this).
You can create PDF files on a Mac by selecting Print, then clicking PDF on the print screen.
You can create PDFs on an iOS device with a third party app like 'PDF Printer for iPhone'

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).

Font changes when i try to create a pdf from a word doc

I am trying to create a pdf from a word doc. I have tried multiple times and each time i do the font i used in the word doc gets changed on the pdf

This seems to be a common problem... this is not the first time I have seen this. Unless it is a general system font, such as Arial, then it seems not to convert too well.
So, if it doesn't matter what font, then just change the font.
Hopefully, Adobe fixes this in the next year. xD
Good luck

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

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.

I exported a pdf file to word but i can't edit

I exported a pdf file to word but i can't edit. What am I doing wrong?

Hi hc69,
You're most likely doing nothing wrong! For starters, please try triple-clicking in the text that you want to edit in Word.
If that doesn't work, it may be that the PDF was created from a scanned page, and that OCR (optical character recognition) wasn't performed on that PDF to convert the scanned/image text to selectable/editable text. OCR is enabled by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website, but can be disabled in Reader. Please see How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community to make sure OCR is enabled.
Let's start there. If neither of those solutions work, we can take it from there.
Best,
Sara

How do I convert an e-mail into a Word file that can be edited and printed?

I received an e-mail from a relative that I want to convert into a Word file that can be edited and printed?

Go to appleid.apple.com to manage the ID, sign in. If you are using two-step verification on the ID, select the Name, ID and Email Addresses section, then change the birth date on the bottom right. If you are using security questions instead of two-step verification, select the Password and Security Question and answer the two security question to access and change the birth date. At the present time you may not be able to enter the correct birth date, but you should be able to change it to 1/1/2001, which will have child ID status.

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 create pdf from word doc file

HI
I have a word doc file. (not docx). I have adobe 8 pro. I wrote a word script to create the file using the distiller. The fonts in the pdf file it makes look wacky. That script looks liek this:
* create archive pdf file
lfilename = "t:\cardeals\pdf\pdf_archive\" + PADL(alltrim(STR(month(date()))),2,"0") + PADL(alltrim(STR(DAY(DATE()))),2,"0") + SUBSTR(ALLTRIM(STR(YEAR(DATE()))),3,2) + "1.pdf"
oWord = createOBJECT("Word.Application")
oWord.DisplayAlerts = .f.
oWord.documents.open('t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc')
oword.ActivePrinter = "\\CSSSERVERONE\Overflow"
oword.application.printout(,,,,,,,4,,,,,,,,,,,)
oWord.PrintOut(.F.,.F.,,"c:\output.ps",,,,,,.F.)
oPDF = CREATEOBJECT ( "PDFDistiller.PDFDistiller.1" )
oPDF.FileToPDF("c:\output.ps", "&lfilename.", "High Quality" )
oWord.application.quit
release oword
I also wrote a script to attempt to print it from the Adobe printer. It seems to work, but when I go to open the created pdf file it I get the following message:
Acrobat could not open mypdf.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
The code was this:
Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    Set oDocument = CreateObject("Word.Document")
    oWordApp.Visible = True
    oWordApp.Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMinimize
    Set oDocument = oWordApp.Documents.Open("t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc")
    strOutputPDFName = "c:\mypdf.pdf"
    holdprtrdefault = oWordApp.ActivePrinter
    oWordApp.ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF"
    oWordApp.Application.PrintOut FileName:="t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc", _
        Copies:=1, _
        Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, _
        Item:=wdPrintDocumentContent, _
        Pages:="", _
        PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _
        Collate:=True, _
        Background:=False, _
        PrinttoFile:=False, _
        OutputFileName:=strOutputPDFName
If I clkick on the PDFMaker icon iside word, the resultant file is BEAUTIFUL. Can I automate this from within word? If not, does PDFMaker have a command line utility that I could put in a batch file?

I don't have an answer, but you might get a better response in the scripting forum.

Can't create PDF from MS word 2007 Doc

I am using CS3 Acrobat Pro 8.2 and I can't get a Word doc to PDF. It starts but then just stops at about 10%. I have tried importing from Acrobat and just get an error message stating "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
Anyone have any ideas as to what may be the problem?

Bill, when using Word or any other MS office app, the process begins the conversion then just stops about 10-15% of the way and the process window disappears. No error message, nothing. It just stops. Now, I can save items as a "Quick and Simple PDF" but not as a "Fully functional PDF" when saving from Word. So I have narrowed it down that far. The screen shot below was created in Word and saved as a Quick and Simple PDF from Word.
When trying to use the Create PDF function from AA, I get an unexpected error message.
