How to maintain original lines when converting a word file in a PDF

Unfortunately the table lines often change when converting a word file in a PDF, e.g. dotted/broken lines into straight lines or different kinds of broken lines. How can I maintain the original lines when converting the documents?
Many thanks in advance for your advice.

Hello,
Ok, this is the background.
I’m a publisher. Any document to end user will go as pdf. And off course it preserves the word appearance. We ship our manuals only in pdf. At this point my end users have to copy the “CODES” into his editor to run the product. So when doing it, the “Codes” copied from pdf to his editor loses its format. Editor need not be the actual one; you can also test in a notepad.
P.S: You can find the difference by copying the code from word to notepad and pdf to notepad
Hope you now understood the purpose what I’m looking at for.

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
However, even if presented with multiple prints with
the same name, the spooler should print each one!
The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

I am having issues converting my word file into a pdf.

I am having issues converting my word file into a pdf. When I attempt the conversion the pdf download has text boxes overlapping each other. The word file does not have overlapping text boxes. I believe it is the margins of my word file but I am not certain. How can I accurately edit my word file then convert it into a pdf without the overlapping issue occuring?

Hi,

I want to convert a word file to a PDF

I want to convert a Word file to a PDF file. I can't get past the page that states choose the file I want to convert. Nothing happens when I select the word file I want to convert

Hi larryjohn,
I'm sorry that you're having trouble converting your Word file to PDF. Does it happen with just one particular Word file, or are you running into the same issue with any Word file?
For starters, please try the following:
Clear your browser cache (steps to do this vary by browser)
If you're using a work computer, check with your IT team to confirm if you have firewall/proxy settings that restrict the ability to upload files to the internet.
Lastly, if the issue persists after the steps above, please try another web browser. A list of supported browsers for accessing the ExportPDF service is available here: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/
Please let us know how that goes, and if we can be of further assistance.
Best,

How can I convert a word file into a pdf and then upload to a web site?

I need to convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
site. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

Hi there,
There's actually an easy streamlined way to do this using Acrobat.com. Here are the steps:
1. Log in to Acrobat.com with your Adobe ID.
2. On the left, you'll see a navigation menu that includes the item "Import and Edit". Click that.
3. Choose the .doc (Word) file you want to convert and upload it to Buzzword.
4. After making sure that it looks the way you want it to, go to the top menu (still in Buzzword now, not the organizer where all your files live) and click the document menu. There will be an option to "Export" - choose that.
5. When prompted to select filetype, choose "Adobe PDF" and press OK.
6. It'll save to your desktop, so now you have to get it into your acrobat.com organizer. To do that, close the Buzzword document by clicking the little "x" in the upper right corner, under the Sign Out button. This'll get you back to your organizer, where you can choose "Import" from the left nav menu again. This time choose your new PDF file.
7. Select the file icon in the organizer and click the Share button. Or, select Share from the file context menu.
8. Select Allow Anyone With A Link To Share This Document to set the document to open access, and then click Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is copied onto the clipboard.
9. Open the HTML file and paste the code into the file. The Flash previewer can display any file type that you can convert to PDF.
Hope this helps! Good luck, and let us know how it works out.

How do i convert a word file into a pdf file?

How do I convert a word document into a .pdf file?

Hi wertheca,
If you have Acrobat, (full version), you can convert a file to PDF by choosing File > Create > PDF from File. Then you choose your Word document, and click Open to convert the file to PDF.
If you don't have Acrobat, you can use an Acrobat online services subscription to convert almost any format of file to a PDF with just a click or two. For more information, see Acrobat Plus, PDF Pack, Export PDF & More | Acrobat Document Solutions
I hope this helps.

How to preserve original size when converting to PDF in Preview.

I'm using Preview in Snow Leopard.
Trying to create multipage PDFs from document scans.
I'm finding that when the scanned image (tiff, png, jpg) is converted to PDF in Preview the size reduces.
Selecting 'View actual size' shows the image with sometimes drastically impaired quality.
This does not always happen. I have some images that stay the same size and quality.
What factors cause this reduction in size in some images but not in others?
I'm not sure but this could be only images that have been scanned by me. If so, what do I need to do to prevent the problem?
These are not large images, just standard size pages.
I have all the preferences to view at 100%
This is not for printing, only for viewing on-screen.

Please!!
I'm not silly...
As I said, selecting View actual size shows the image with sometimes drastically impaired quality (regardless of the window size).
I also said I have preferences set to view at 100%
It now seems as if this is only happening with scans I've made here.
Images downloaded from the internet are converting indentically, no problem. But my scans are being resized when converting.
I wonder if anyone with a bit of technical know-how can give me some clues as to why this is happening. It would seem to be something to do with the file itself.
(There was another post on here with the same problem but for some reason its been 'archived' though the last posting was this month and the query was not answered. So I've posted the question again.)

How do I correct spacing errors that occured when converting a word file to pdf?

I have a microsoft word file that when converted to pdf is changed. If I import it I loose the font style if I upload it I keep the fonts but the spacing on the document is all wrong. Any suggestions?

Hello there,
Thanks for posting; this is an error that we see from time to time, and typically has to do with the document's formatting. Sometimes a font used in the original document is not available on our conversion servers; while we do have a lot of fonts installed on those servers, we don't have every font in the world. A missing font will be substituted and those substitutions can lead to the results you observed. Additionally, image placement, line breaks, and page breaks sometimes change if you save to other formats. Although there's not a specific button to click to fix the problem, you may want to toy with any strange or special spacing that you've used in the document, or substitute a more standard font of your own choosing. Please let me know if you need more help or information!
Best regards,
Rebecca

Font change when converting a Word File

I write documents using heading styles to automatically generate Tables of Contents, using Word 2003. When I convert the document to PDF, everything is normal.
When I transfer the same file to my laptop, which uses Word 2007, and try to convert the file to PDF, the TOC and Heading fonts change from Arial to Times New Roman. (The rest of the text stays in Arial).
What am I doing wrong?
The version of Acrobat (X) is used.

Are you stating that the file previews correctly and only changes upon creating the pdf?
Are you creating your pdf via printing to the Adobe PDF Printer or creating pdf via the Word button?
What pdf settings? Avoid Smallest File Size or Standard

How to get rid of blank white page next to cover page when converting an indesign file into a pdf flip book

Hey Everyone,
I created an catalog using indesign and now I want to convert that into a pdf flip book. I have exported it as a SWF then changing the SWF back into a pdf. It works great however, I keep getting a blank white page next too my cover page, and I really don't want this. I find it very distracting and visually unappealing. Is there any way to get rid of this blank white page? Or any other suggestions on how to create a flip book out of an indesign file.

It sounds as if you're not checking the pagination properties of the chapter after the problem within the book file.
The book file settings always trump the component file's settings.
So this would mean that, if Chapter 3 is set in the book file to start on a Right page, the book enforces this by adding a blank page to Chapter 2.
You should be able to fix this by selecting all the component chapters in the book, right-clicking and setting all the pagination properties to start on Next Available page, but I don't have 7 on this system so I can't give you the exact key strokes.

Problems retaining page size when converting MS WORD 2007 doc to PDF

I am having a problem converting Word documents that are not standard page size to a PDF. When I do the conversion, the PDF is resized to 8.5 x 11, even though the original WORD doc was 5.5 x 8.5
This happens even when I go into the Acrobat Preferences and change the default page size to 5.5 x 8.5.
The worst of it is, it does not happen with everyone who uses a particular computer here. It happens to some, but not to others.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks.

It's happening the same way on several different computers here.
Everyone logs in with their own userid on each machine. We are all working with the same MS WORD documents. These documents are non-standard sizes -- 6 x 9, or 5.5 x 8.5.
Everyone uses the same version of Acrobat Professional, and selects "Convert to PDF from file".
For some people, the PDF is created from the Word doc, and the original page size is retained. This is what we want.
However, for others, the PDF is created as 8.5 x 11, no matter what the original size of the document was. No amount of fiddling with the default page size, in either Acrobat or Word, changes this.
It is driving me crazy, and I was hoping that at least one other person on the planet has come across this problem. Is this an Adobe or a Microsoft problem? Could it be a Windows registry setting?
Advice is appreciated!

When converting a Word doc to a PDF the pictures are surrounded by a blue shadowed boxes

I started off with a PDF, then converted to a Word doc, made necessary changes, and converted back to a new PDF. However, the new PDF has put blue colored boxes around all the pictures. Anyone know how to fix?

I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro on a workstation using Windows 7.
I have converted docs this way many times before, but for some reason it does not seem to complete the process about 50% of the time these days.
Here is a screen shot
Thanks!! Tom

Figures order gets messed up when converting from Word 2010 to Acrobat PDF

Hi,
Im wondering if someone can help me. I have a 10 page document in Word 2010 with many figures (rectangles and circles overlapping each other). The order of these figures are essential. I have triplechecked the order in Word with the correct figure marked as on top. But when I convert (by printing) to PDF the order of the figures gets messed up making a mess in the document.
I have Acrobat 9.
Could someone please help me with this?
Many thanks!

I solved this by taking the document with me to a computer with Word 2007 installed instead of 2010. I guess the problem lays in the fact as some of you mentioned that Acrobat 9 doesnt support Word 2010. Now I know why! This is a bummer though, upgrading to Acrobat X isnt exactly cheap and I dont want to downgrade Word as I really like some of the new features in it (as the screenclip option).
Thanks for your answers!
