Hyperlinks not converting from Word to PDF

I've read the other discussions regarding this topic & the solutions don't seem to work for me. I'm using Word '07 converting to Acrobat 8. Some of my hyperlinks will convert but not all. AND, one hyperlink is linking wrong in Acrobat even though it's correct in Word. I've checked my preferences in Word & Acrobat - all the right things are checked. I've tried creating it from Word & from Acrobat & nothing is working.
Can anybody ease my frustation? Please?!
Thank you.

Please repost in the Acrobat forum.

Headers not converting from Word to PDF

I just installed Acrobat Pro XI and when I convert a Word Document to PDF my Headers do not show on the PDF. Footers do show OK>

I just solved the problem by converting the word doucment "Compatibility Mode". All works well now.

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

How to use .joboptions file while converting from Word to PDF

Hi,
I'm pretty new to Acrobat. I'm using Acrobat XI. I need to convert a word document to a PDF file which conforms to certain requirements described by a given .joboptions file. The .joboptions file can be opened by distiller, but as far as I know distiller is not invovled in the conversion (Word to PDF) process. So how can I make sure the converted PDF file meets the requirement described by the .joboptions file?

Distiller is used when converting from Word to PDF, if you do it via the Acrobat panel, not the Adobe PDF printer or Word's internal Export to PDF command. If you've loaded your joboptions file in Distiller (via Settings - Add Adobe PDF Settings), then you will see it in the drop-down of Conversion Settings when you click the Preferences button in the Acrobat panel in Word.
After you've selected your job options profile click the Create PDF button, and the file will be converted using the selected options.

Black Pages - Convert from Word to PDF

When I convert a Word document to a PDF, the pages on the PDF document are black. This only happens on select Word document that use a specific cover graphic. I've sent the same document to a co-worker and they were able to convert the document to PDF with no issues. I have verified my preferences with my co-worker and these are the same. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (10). I was previously able to convert a Word document with the same graphic to PDF without any issues. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Adobe Reader can't convert from Word to PDF.

Since 11-4-14 every convert from Word to PDF has failed online or desktop - when will this be sorted

Since 11-4-14 EVERY convert from Word to PDF either online or desktop has failed, when will this be fixed?

No replies on here so went online and tried various options including "repair reader installation" plus uninstall and reinstall etc, some posts suggested a repair from the Printers file (Vista) so installed AdobeCreatePDF desktop printer plus Xerox Phaser PS printer as advised. All without any obvious sucess ie still no word docs converted after hours of trying. Then unexpectedly a further test convert attempt succeeded; tested again on desktop plus online and now all works fine as it did before. Who knows why - possibly only Adobe know. Will leave this thread here just in case the fail reappears over next few days!

Converting from WORD to pdf always fails the first time

OS is XP. Acrobat Pro 8.1.5. When I first convert from WORD, EXCEL, whatever the program appears to be working but no file is created. This happens always on the first time I convert to pdf for the day. Once I do it again, it works and continues to work throughout the day. I turn off my computer at night and again the next day when I come in it doesn't convert the first time but will work again. Is there something in Windows or Acrobat that I can fix to get this to work properly?

If you are using Word 2007 (you don't say) you might try the Microsoft plugin... this is instead of Acrobat

If you are using an earlier version of Word (or Word '07) make sure you have installed all Microsoft Office updates, so you'll know this is not a Microsoft bug

Hyperlinks not converting when creating a pdf from Word 2010 to Adobe Acrobat 11.0.6

First off, let me say that these are not table of contents hyperlinks. I have created a document in Word 2010 (not a MAC) with hyperlinks to files residing on our company's intranet. In Word the hyperlinks work great but when I create the pdf, the links do not work. I have converted using both PDFMaker from Word and Create a pdf from within Acrobat. Yes, I have all the boxes checked regarding saving links. The links appear to work partially. Meaning that when I hover the cursor over the link, the pointy finger appears but when I click I get a pop-up message telling me the file could not be opened. Also, when I hover over the hyperlink, the address appears. So, I think it knows there's a link and it tries to open but can't. When I create the file within Adobe the link works - once. When I click on the link I get a pop-up window asking me if I want to save my file before closing. After my response the file closes and the linked file opens. However, when I go back into the file and try the hyperlink again, I get the pop-up telling me the file cannot be opened. HELP! I am at my wits end. After spending hours yesterday trying to research (I think I read every thread related to hyperlinks but I am not using a Mac, table of contents or Adobe 7 around which it seems all the prior questions revolve) and futily creating and recreating the pdf (as if doing the same thing repeatedly would somehow magically work) I am about to give up. This is a document that will be published to our intranet for use by employees which cross-references other documents to which they can refer for additional information. I would prefer to publish a pdf and not a Word document. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for your input Bill. I've checked the preferences and "view large images" is turned on. It's not all of the images which are missing, only certain ones do not transfer over to PDF.

Hyperlink cross-references not converted from doc to pdf

Hi,
We are having some problems converting word documents to pdf. This is a standard part of our day to day work, we convert docs to pdf all the time. We use acrobat 7 professional and Office Professional 2003. The symptom is that hyperlinks are not all being converted in the pdf. The TOC is fine but after that the links do not always work. Right now i have downgraded a workstation back to adobe 6 professional and i'm running a conversion on that of one of our docs that doesn't convert properly. Otherwise i have tried all the settings in the conversion settings window, i have tried saving the doc as an xml first.
So i have some docs which convert perfectly and some which convert except for dead hyperlinks. I can't see anything wrong with the hyperlinks. I've also tried different workstations, it's always the same result.
Has anyone else seen anything like this and if so can you suggest any way forward apart from recreating a million hyperlinks in the converted pdfs?
thanks

From Word I select 'convert to Adobe PDF' from the Adobe PDF menu.
We convert word docs to pdf as part of the daily running of the business.
We always use PDFMaker and not the adobe pdf printer.
Before now hyperlinks were converting fine.
I have tried previously to update acrobat, it seems to be stuck on the 7.1.0 update.
When I search for new updates it just installs the 7.1.0 update again - i have 3 workstations like this.
They have been like this for a long time, i had in fact stopped attempting to update them - adobe has worked fine up til now and it is in daily use.
Maybe this is the root of the problem.
I will try and get one up to date on 7.1.2 and run a conversion and see what happens.

Editing PDF When Converted from Word to PDF

I converted a word document to PDF. When I opened the file to edit and use the OCR Text Recognition it said could not edit because of renderable text.
I also have photos and website links in the document.
What can I do so I can edit the text?

Thanks for your quick responses.
Yes I do. I guess I need to re- edit in word. I just thought I could edit it in 9.0 Pro as well. I was getting some large spaces in between some paragraphs. In word the spaces do not look as large.
Also if you know if there is a way to make it so the links are workable. I plan to make the text protected from copy and paste, etc etc.This is going to be an informative Ebook and I want the users to be able to click on the links and continue to various websites.

Converting from Word to PDF and printer settings

I have a program that writes letters automatically in Word and if we have a PDF file as an enclosure when the letter prints, it actually converts the word document as a whole to a PDF. This part works great, however, when the letter begins with Word we have the Page setup for the printer to print the first page on letterhead (tray 1) and all pages after to plain paper (tray 2). When the word document converts to pdf, it is printing everything from tray 1 which is letterhead.
Is there any way to convert a document to pdf and keep the page settings as well?
Thanks for any input!

Don't have an answer. However, you might consider creating the WORD document so that the letterhead is built in and you do not need the paper.

Converting from Word to .pdf distorts formatting

When I convert a Word document to a .pdf, when I have a bulleted list and the first sentence of each bullet is underlined, format gets distorted when I print to .pdf. I've retyped the document from scratch and experimented with a few different fonts and regardless, the results are the same. One or two of the bullets appear normal (so does the underlined text) and then a few other bullets and the underline itself (but not the text) appear bolded.
Anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions or solutions? Thank you.

You really need to post version details
If you are using Word 2007 try the Microsoft product at this link
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4D951911-3E7E-4AE6-B059-A2E79ED87 041&displaylang=en
If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)

Convert from Word to PDF

I have been trying to convert both word documents and excel documents to Adobe PDF's. I have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Professional but I get an error message saying that " PDF Maker encountered an error while printing the PDF. Please Retry. " Of course I retry but it still says the same thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you have Office 2008 the PDFMaker is written using VBA. VBA is not in Office2008.
To make PDF's from Word2008, go to "Save As..." and select PDF. MS got tired of waiting 20 years for adobe to figure out how to interpret insert page and Insert Section breaks so Office2008 they make PDF directly.

Lines Not Converting From Autocad to Pdf

I am using Windows 7 Pro, Autocad 2011 (full version), Acroplot Pro 2013 and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Using Acroplot Pro, we convert Autocad files to pdf. We are having issues with some lines, or entire sections of a drawing, not converting to pdf file. As if someone erased random lines from the drawing.
I've walked through this process with Acroplots help line and they say it's not on their end. I know the issues has nothing to do with Autocad because I can re-do this process and the pdf will come out fine the 2nd time. It's rare and random, maybe one file per 100, but causes a problem when you're converting hundreds of files and don't know which one may be wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry if I was unclear, we load our cad files into Acroplot which then utilizes Adobe Acrobat Pro claims it's an issue with Acrobat Pro to create the pdf. After walking through the process with Acroplot, they say it's an issue with Acrobat Pro.

Converting from word to pdf

When converting from a Word doc to a pdf using joboptions file settings, the layout changes - text is moved up as if the bottom margin is decreased. This is a problem when the heading on a new page is moved to bottom of the previous page. Please help - thanks.

I've noticed the problem in multiple words docs but it doesn't always happen. I tried again, using print to adobe as I usually do, and noticed that the last line of the first page moved to second page after I converted. However, this didn't happen when I converted using PDFMaker - thanks! I will convert using PDFMaker from now on to hopefully avoid the problem.
