How to retain the hyperlinks when converting Word doc to PDF?

For adobe acrobat 9 pro, I can't figure out how to keep the hyperlinks working. If I create pdf from word doc by save as, it can't embed fonts, but links work. If I use "print" in word, it embeds fonts, but some hyperlinks didn't work. What to do to keep fonts embedded and links working? It drove me crazy! HELP!!!

Depends on the version of WORD. With OFFICE 2007, go to the Adobe menu and select Create PDF (this is PDF Maker). That will save the links. A similar process is needed for OFFICE 2003. With OFFICE 2010, you will have to upgrade to AA X or add them in Acrobat manually.

How do I change the pixel size when converting Word doc to .pdf?

When converting a Word Document to .pdf the file size is too large. How do I reduce the pixel size?

Typically a Word file's content is text which has not image association.
For whatever images might be in the Word file you'd want to adjust image resolution in an image editor prior to bringing the image into the Word file from which the PDF is made.
Be well...

When converting word doc to pdf, my images with text only show the background color of the text box.

I have a word doc that I am trying to conver to pdf. I have jpegs with text boxes on top of them on one page. It looks great on the screen but after I convert to pdf, the text boxes only have half the text, the first half of the text box is just white - the background color. If I take the background color out of the text box, the text converts over fine but I need the background color.
I have tried many things here on the print settings, standard, high quality print, unchecking the compression on the images. Any help?

When converting word doc to pdf with Acrobat words getting cut off?

Hi all,
As you can see from this example:
When converting from word document the words on the pages in the final PDF are getting cut off on the edge of the page?
I've adjusted the margins in page layout in MS Word to Normal, Moderate & Wide etc, etc
Never ever had this problem before...does anybody have any idea why or what I could do?
Thanks in advance.

As a quick check, set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer in WORD and then check for the proper operation. Also be sure the paper dimensions and orientation of your document and the printer properties match up (I have had some problems with the orientation when I have auto-rotate on). You may have to play some to get something to work. I have done that before and settled on a process that works for me, but I can't claim it all makes perfect sense. To many things are going on in some sense.

Font changes when converting Word doc to PDF

I have Acrobat 9 and MS Office 2007. When I convert to PDF a Word doc with Heading 1 set to Arial Bold, the Heading 1s does not convert correctly. The font style, size, and bold all change. If I change the Heading 1s to just Arial the Heading 1s convert to PDF just fine. Any else run into this?

Yes. I found it will work okay if you select a regular font and then select bold. Don't select a BOLD FONT type.

This is very confusing; what actually coverted the document - Word, Acrobat, or CreatePDF (now renamed to "Adobe PDF Pack") ?
Either way it's not an Adobe Reader problem;

Trouble with margins when converting Word doc to PDF

When I convert a word document to a PDF (using Print >> Save as PDF), the resulting PDF (in Preview) cuts off my page numbers which are centered at a half-inch from the bottom. They have to stay there. I've tried changing the non-printable area to "User Defined" at 0 but that didn't work. Any help would be much appreciated!

Problem with ChemDraw structures when converting word doc to pdf

I am trying to convert a word document with ChemDraw structures in it to a pdf. When it converts, I doesn't hold the chemical structures together. Is there a quick solution?

I realize that many word processors have an option to turn off the printer metric use. I finally found it in OFFICE 2007 and it is indeed off. It is not off in OFFICE 2003. Though it is available to folks, it is far from an obvious option in WORD. In the word processor I use it is NOT an option and there is actually a warning in the help about the printer metrics. The fact that there may be a switch in a package is not a given and the information I provide is not incorrect, though adding a comment about a switch option is reasonable.
Yes it's on in prior versions that wasn't ny uncertainity. I wasn't positive it was off in Office 2007. Why do you make a strawman argument over something that isn't the point of contention ? <sigh>
You were incorrect. Printer Metrics is the only answer because it's a global switch. You're not helping by telling people to use a solution that's not permanent. It's a clumsy hack.

Convert Word doc to PDF

I need assistance on this issue:
"Enter Description of Issue:
We are trying to implement a solution to automatically convert Word documents generated by Siebel to PDF's in order to mail them to customers.
I see from other support requests you advice to find 3rd part software to do this. Can you tell me if you know of any 3rd party software that another Siebel customer has been able to use to do this?
We wish to call this software fom script or workflow so that the converted document can then be attached back into siebel and mailed to a customer.
I understand the principle of how we can get documents from the file system and then using com or a command line call an application that will do the conversion, but as yet we have not found a good 3rd party software to do the conversion."
So far, I suggest one Enhancement Request(12-161Y57N) to customer but seems is not enough.
The last update from customer side, was:
"Is it possible to just give me a plain answer to my main question.
Do you know of any other customers who have similar functionality and do you know what application they sed to do the conversion? "
Do you have any idea on regards on PDF converter?

Hi,
Can we convert the word doc to PDF using PI intarface.
I think it is not possible convert the word doc to PDF. Since they are Proprietary format of Microsoft and Adobe respectively
my source system sends a doc file & I have to convert it into a PDF doc and then further I have to sent it to target,
You might have to convert the word document to PDF using available software and then send to target system
You might have to develop some module program to convert.
There is one similar blog which explains conversion from XML to PDF. It might help you

Syntex error converting word doc to PDF

I am trying to convert a Word doc to PDF so I can send it to the printer, but it stops on page 17 and Word closes. The Distiller message is attached. How do I correct this? I am using Acrobat 8 Pro. Thanks

It's the only way I can use Adobe with Word. It has always never worked any other way and I can't seem to find a solution as to why. I'd like to be able to use this product as it's intended. Thinking of trying other PDF software at this point....
The only way I got the Word doc to print was to delete page 17 and redo it. A lot work.

Converting word doc to pdf, emailing and editing file

I need to know how to
1. convert my word doc to pdf
2. I want to be able to email the new pdf file to someone and I want them to be able to print it out but not be able to edit it.
Thank you

Thank you for your post!
I'm afraid that at present, Acrobat.com doesn't support Office 2007 files (such as.docx). You'll need to save as Office 1997-2003 format, re-upload, then try again.
Additionally, it might not work perfectly depending on the font, page breaks, line breaks in your original. Image placement, line breaks, and page breaks sometimes change if you save to other formats. Sometimes a font that was 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 certainly don’t have every font in the world.
We may ask you to share the file with us to help us identify the problem.
Please let us know how it goes once you save as .doc format!
Best,
Michelle

Converting Word DOC to PDF changes to PP

I'm converting a Word DOC to PDF, and my header has several Registered marks. In Word it looks fine, but the PDF has added the letter 'P' before and after, changing '®' to 'P®P'
I've tried the same source doc on two different machines, and tried using earlier revs of the source doc.
I'm running Word 2003 SP3 and Acrobat 7.0.0.
Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

I agree with John that the version level may be the issue. Typically the first release of each version is buggy. Often the problem seems to be with the fonts - maybe the source of your problem. It might be that the "P" characters were part of the original as flags to change a font style and did not get removed.
You might also try printing to the Adobe PDF printer to see if that gives the same result (I suspect it will). If it does, an update would be appropriate and should at least be tried on one machine.
