How to save a word file to a pdf

Just bought the Adobe PDF and realize now it does me no good if I cannot convert my word files to PDF.   Can I do this?

You need to install Acrobat. The error normally has the message "Error 1303. The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory." This suggests that you are not logged in as the administrator and may also not have anti-virus disabled for the install. See if that resolves the issue. The other way to get a PDF out of WORD is to use the MS plugin for creating PDFs (though a bit sloppy as is normal with MS products).

  • Way to save MS Word file as a PDF with original MS Word file date?

    For archiving purposes, I'm betting PDFs will be readable (backwards compatible) long after my current file saved in Microsoft Word becomes out of date. Anyone know of a way I can save my Word file as a PDF while retaining the original Word file last-modified date (for patent protection reasons to prove date of authorship)? (or Word to text file or ASCII file would also be equivalent as long as original date is kept)

    I doubt that a computer date would suffice for legal proof of date. It is easily changed for those that know their way around the computer. I would have to play a bit, but could probably do it without too much trouble. About the only way to satisfy the need for a patent is to properly insert the pages in a patent notebook and get the information notorized. From what I have seen, the legal profession generally requires hard copy, not a computer file. A loose-leaf form is also typically not acceptable, but a bound notebook properly annotated. The notorized aspect is a way around some of this I think. In any case, it sounds like you need to consult a patent attorney.

    How to save a numbers file to a pdf file of multiple pages instead of one giant long page?

    Hi DW,
    Numbers 3.2.2
    Instead of Menu > File > Export To,  use Menu > File > Print...
    That takes you to Print Preview.
    In the Print Setup panel, Click on the Print... button lower right (it won't print yet).
    That opens the Print Dialogue.
    Click on the PDF Pop-Up Menu lower left.
    Choose Open PDF in Preview or Save as PDF.
    That will have page breaks and will be full sized.
    Print from Preview.

    The conversion is the primary function of Acrobat. Other functions include forms and related issue. Reader is simply a reader and can not convert anything. You can download the trial version if you like, though many folks have trouble getting rid of it after the trial, strange as that might seem -- only reporting on what has been reported by others.

  • How to save MS Word file in Database

    hi everyone,
    I want to use MS Word in forms and then save word file in Oracle8i Database. PLease Tell me How to complete this task.
    Many THanks.
    Kashif

    Good luck using OLE to modify existing DB stored Word documents. There is a REAL nasty bug in 6i (#2615804) that causes the Forms runtime to crash. There is no bug fix availible, as yet, and it's severely affecting our planned migration to Forms 6i. This has the affect of not allowing us to migrate our DB to 9i since 4.5 is not supported against 9i. Sheesh! Request to Metalink for some type of resolution have been met with replies of "you should try storing your documents on the file system since OLE is not support in Forms 9i or web delivery of 6i.
    At this stage, we're looking into alternatives to storing Word documents in the DB. The problem is going to be converting the tens of thousands of documents we already have stored. If it's not too late for you, I'd reconsider storing Word documents in the database.
    My 2 cents,

  • How to save a word type file in the reader to read it there?

    I have files in .pdf format as well as some MS Word documents.
    Can anyone show me how do i need to proceed in order to ssave those files on my Sony PRS 650 Reader?
    Thank you kindly.
    Solved!

    Hi “getmore”
    Here, all the discussion was about MS Word files and PRS-650 e-Reader. The solution was to save MS Word files directly in .RTF format or as one can read in Sony PRS-650  - User Guide (page 121):
    “Supported File Formats
    The following file formats can be managed within Reader Library and transferred to your Reader.
    Book
     EPUB file (.epub file extension) EPUB (OPS version 2.0) supported
     PDF file (.pdf file extension) Support is based on the PDF 1.6 specification.
     BBeB (.lrf or .lrx file extension)
     Text file (.txt file extension)
     RTF file (.rtf file extension)
     Word file (.doc or .docx file extension)*1
    *1 In case of using Windows, you need Microsoft Word installed on your computer. Word files will be automatically converted to RTF files by Reader Library during transfer to your Reader or a compatible memory card…”
    Now for other Sony’s e-Reader models (as PRS-T1/T2), .RTF file type is not supported anymore (supported only epub, pdf and txt file).
    In this case one must convert an MS Word file to an epub(best solution for Sony’s readers) or pdf file. There’re too many free software in order to do this.
    For me one of the best is Calibre http://calibre-ebook.com/. “…Calibre can convert from a huge number of formats to a huge number of formats. It supports all the major e-book formats. The full list of formats can be found here…” (ebook with “DRM” are NOT supported).

    Hi jscher200,
    Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
    To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
    I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!

  • 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.

    I would like to cut and paste information from a word file onto a pdf file, as well as draw lines onto the pdf file.  How can I accomplish that task?  Is there software I can purchase?

    Hi jgallu7382,
    The latter is easily accomplished using the Drawing Markup tools, which are available in both the free Adobe Reader, and in Acrobat. Copying/pasting text into the PDF is something that you could do using the editing tools that are available only in Acrobat. Note, however, that Acrobat isn't intended to be a text-editing application, so editing there won't be as robust as in an application designed specifically for that purpose. (It's also worth mentioning that you won't be able to alter a PDF if it has document permissions applied that would prevent you from doing so.)
    I hope that answers your questions.
    Best,
    Sara

    This particular forum is set aside for users of OS 9. Since you are using a MacBook Pro, you can not be using OS 9 (OS 9 is not usable with any Intel-processor Mac).
