I am trying to convert a Microsoft Publisher Document to PDF but it fails every time although the reason is not clear. Anyone else had problems like this and how do I solve it? Thanks. Ray

Hi raythree,
I'm sorry that your PDF conversion is working. Can you please tell me if you're getting a specific error message? Knowing that can help pinpoint the cause of the conversion failure. However, here are a couple of things that you could try:
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.
Try another web browser.  A list of supported browsers for accessing the ExportPDF service is available here: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/.
Also, note that there is a 100MB file size limit, so if your publisher file is larger than that, it won't upload to ExportPDF.
I hope this helps. But let us know if you need further assistance.
Best,
Sara

  • How can I convert a Microsoft Publisher doc to PDF when the file size is LARGE?

    I have a Microsoft Publisher document that I need converted to PDF. Typically I have no issues converting from Publisher to PDF (and usually can just do it through the "save as" feature in Publisher.) However, this particular file is laden with graphics and therefore very large. I was able to convert it once, but it made some of the graphics as blank boxes. When I try again to convert, it gives me an error message.
    Is there a way to conver a LARGE Publisher file to PDF without losing any of the images contained within the document? Please help!

    Try emptying the Temp folder. Are you using PDF Maker (not sure that is available for Publisher) or the MS plugin? If PDF Maker, try turning off the tags and reducing the amount of bookmarks needed to a minimum. As an alternative, simply print to the Adobe PDF printer -- will typically give a smaller file and not run into these creation problems for large document, but you will not get bookmarks or such in the conversion process.

  • What do I need to convert a Microsoft Publisher file to PDF?

    I have Microsoft XL Professional and I am doing newsletters for an organization I belong to. I am doing them in Microsoft Publisher, but want to email them to the members using PDF. What Arcrobat product do I need and how do I do it?

    Hi Barb,
    Acrobat.com, a free online collection of services, does not support the conversion of Microsoft Publisher files to PDF. Here is the list of supported file types:
    text (TXT, PS, RTF), Microsoft Office (DOC, XLS, PPT, PRJ), Open Office (ODT, ODP, ODS, ODG, ODF), Star Office (SWX, SXI, SXC, SXD, STW), Word Perfect (WPD), and image files (BMP, GIF, JPEG, TIFF, PNG)
    The full version of Adobe Acrobat, the most current being Acrobat 9, supports a much longer list of file types. For more information, see: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/
    I'm guessing that you're using some version of the desktop product at Church?

  • Trying to play movies on Netflix and opening PDF files crash safari every time, what's causing this? I have enough memory.

    for the last two weeks every time I try to play something on Netflix and/or open a PDF file it crashes my computer. I have enough memory. I know my MAC is older, Version 10.5.8 but I do all the regular updates. Why would this be happening?

  • Converting Microsoft Publisher document

    I am having real difficulty in converting a Microsoft Publisher newsletter to .pdf file.  Can anybody give me any advice?  Every time I try, after thinking about it for a few minutes, the screen simply says "Conversion failure"

  • PDF attachments are trying to open in Microsoft Publisher

    Why are my PDF attachments trying to open in Microsoft Publisher.  I click on the attachement, Publisher opens up with a File Conversion windown opening as well.  It will not open.  I have to save the file, then open Adobe Acrobat, then open the file.  It just started doing this a few weeks ago.  Anyone know what the problem is??

    I'm not sure how the issue would have started, but it sounds like you need to change your file associations so that your computer knows what program to use to open a file with a .pdf extension. Assuming you have a Windows system, below are the directions for fixing this problem (copied from the Microsoft support website):
    To change which program starts when you double-click a file, follow these steps:
    Open Windows Explorer by right-clicking the Start button, and then click Explore.
    Click a folder that contains a file of the type that you want Windows to open in a program that you select.
    Right-click the file and, depending on the programs installed on your computer, complete one of the following steps:
    Click Open With to choose the program that you want.
    Point to Open With, and then click Choose Program to choose the program that you want.
    The Open With dialog box is displayed. Use one of the following methods to select the program that you want to use for this file type:
    In the Programs list, click the program that you want to use.
    Click Browse, locate and then click the program that you want to use, and then click Open.
    Click Look for the appropriate program on the Web to browse the Internet for the program that you want to use.
    Click to select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box if it is not selected.
    Click OK.
    Let me know if you need more help.

  • Converting a publisher document to pdf

    I have been trying to convert a publisher document to pdf.  I keeping getting a message stating cannot save file.

    David K's questions are key.
    Your Publisher version must be compatible with your installed Acrobat's PDFMaker.

    So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

    Workarounds:
    1.  Restore the OS X that you formerly used to run Word 2004;
    2.  Partition your hard drive or attach an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) so that you can "dual-boot" into Microsoft Word 2004;
    3.  Upgrade to Word 2011 or use an alternative program; or
    4.  The solution I use: Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 or 8:

  • I tried updating iTunes to version 11.1.1, but installation fails each time even when I did it manually as was suggested.  The message I receive is: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.  This may indicate a problem"

    Hi hongkongpom,
    Just wanted to say that after posting the problem, I had a chat with an iTunes' Tech Support, her name is Rebekah.  My problem was resolved after that.  Will list the chat history below in hopes that it may help you as well.
    Good luck!

    Rebekah:
    Welcome to AppleCare chat support. Please give me a moment to look over your information.
    Rebekah:
    Hi, Samia! My name is Rebekah. If we get disconnected, please chat us back. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/contactEnter the case number from the initial email we sent you. This gives the next advisor you chat with immediate access to your case history.
    Rebekah:
    Could you please confirm your serial number? I want to be sure we provide the best service possible for you, Samia!
    SAMIA:
    Sure, it's 8L8395UY2C5
    SAMIA:
    My problem is with iTunes.
    Rebekah:
    Thanks for that confirmation. Just a heads up, this is iOS Tech Support. We do support iPod touches, iPads, and iPhones, but not the iPod classic. But no worries! I can get you in touch with a phone Advisor who can get you in touch with the department that specializes in iPod classics and would be able to better assist you. Would that be OK?
    SAMIA:
    I wasn't able to install the new version of iTunes (version 11.1.1). The installation keeps failing. The they suggested the I install it manually and that failed too. I will attach the message I received.
    SAMIA:
    I don't have a problem with iPod.
    SAMIA:
    Just iTunes
    Rebekah:
    No problem! We can certainly troubleshoot iTunes as much as possible. It may come to the point that you may have to transferred, but we can do as much as possible during this chat!
    Rebekah:
    Thanks for the screenshot. It is a bit small so I am unable to fully see the message that you are receiving. What is the error message you are receiving?
    SAMIA:
    This is the message I received in case you weren't able to open the attachment: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2324."
    Rebekah:
    Thanks for that info!
    SAMIA:
    Pleasure!
    Rebekah:
    What version of Windows (XP, Vista, 7) do you have?
    SAMIA:
    Windows 7
    SAMIA:
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    Rebekah:
    Thanks for that confirmation. I do apologize for the delay, Samia. I am researching this error code now. You mentioned trying to install iTunes manually. To be sure I am on the same page, what steps did you take to do that?
    SAMIA:
    Well when the indsatalltion failed I was given instructions to select Download Only from Tools and then install manually. When I did it, I window popped up with the following items: - AppleApplicationSupport
    SAMIA:
    - AppleMobileDeviceSupport64
    SAMIA:
    - Bonjour64
    SAMIA:
    iTunes64
    SAMIA:
    SetupAdmin
    SAMIA:
    I selected Repair in all of them instead of Remove and all worked but iTunes64
    SAMIA:
    That's when I received the message that I sent you earlier.
    SAMIA:
    By the way, this is the fir st time something like this occured. I never had problems with installation before.
    Rebekah:
    I completely understand what you're saying. Since that Repair did not resolve the issue, our best option is to uninstall iTunes and its components and redownload it. To do this, we will follow the steps in this article: Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Rebekah:
    First, we will want to quit iTunes and/or Apple Software Update if those are open at this time.
    SAMIA:
    Rebekah, the instructions you gave says, "For Windows XP, follow these steps to remove and reinstall iTunes and other software components for Windows XP."
    SAMIA:
    I closed all applications
    SAMIA:
    Also, my iTunes doesn't open anymore after the new failed installation.
    Rebekah:
    The section that says "For Windows XP…" is in case we opened up the wrong article, as we have the one for Windows Vista, 7, or 8. There is a link to click ("these steps") in those directions that would take us to the article for uninstalling on a Windows XP.
    Rebekah:
    So no worries! We have the right article!
    Rebekah:
    On the computer, we will want to click on Start > Control Panel. In Control Panel, we will click the "Uninstall a program" link.
    SAMIA:
    I thought so after doing a little exploration.
    SAMIA:
    done
    Rebekah:
    Alright, we'll want to select iTunes from the list of currently installed programs. Then we will click Uninstall. When asked if you would like to remove iTunes, let's click Yes.
    Rebekah:
    After the uninstallation is complete, we don't want to restart your computer if you're prompted.
    SAMIA:
    Done
    Rebekah:
    Then if you see other iTunes entries on the list, we'll want to remove them the same way.
    Rebekah:
    Then we will remove all instances of Apple Software Update the same way you removed iTunes.
    SAMIA:
    Okay, but do I have to remoce iCloud as well?
    SAMIA:
    Rebekah, I received the same error message again when uninstalling
    Rebekah:
    We actually do not need to remove iCloud. After the Apple Software Update, we will want to remove all instances of Apple Mobile Device Support
    Rebekah:
    How strange! Are you able to click past that and allow the process to continue or has it stopped it completely?
    SAMIA:
    I am unable to uninstall iTunes either
    SAMIA:
    Stopped completely
    SAMIA:
    I treied clicking Repair
    Rebekah:
    Alright, after trying the Repair option, let's see if it will allow us to continue uninstalling or not.
    SAMIA:
    I tried that but unfortunately, it isn't working. I still get that same message with error code 2324.
    Rebekah:
    This error code is not something that I am finding in my sources, Samia. So there is a chance that it is being caused with the Windows computer itself. However, I did find a link that may be able to help with uninstalling iTunes from Windows' support site: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    SAMIA:
    Rebekah, you're a genius! It worked! iTunes is no longer there. What next?
    Rebekah:
    Awesome! I'm glad that worked!
    Rebekah:
    To be sure I am on the same page, what was the last component we uninstalled?
    SAMIA:
    iTunes
    SAMIA:
    Shall I remove the Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update
    Rebekah:
    That is correct! However, we do want to uninstall it in the order I mentioned above. So Apple Software Update first, Apple Mobile Device Support next, and then Apple Mobile Device Support.
    SAMIA:
    Got it, but is the second one to uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support OR Apple pplication Support?
    Rebekah:
    The second one is Apple Mobile Device Support.
    Rebekah:
    The Application Support will be the last component we uninstall.
    SAMIA:
    Thanks! I'm on it.
    SAMIA:
    Done! ll 3 are gone, well 4 with iTunes. Now what?
    Rebekah:
    Awesome! Also, I just noticed that I accidentally typed Apple Mobile Device Support twice, I do apologize for any confusion! Now we will remove all instances of Bonjour and then remove all instances of Apple Application Support.
    SAMIA:
    There was only 1 instance with Bonjour. I don't know what the instances are for Apple Application Support
    Rebekah:
    Yes, Bonjour is often only listed once. Is the Apple Application Support listed at all?
    SAMIA:
    No
    SAMIA:
    Since I removed it
    Rebekah:
    Oh, perfect! If it was removed, we should be set!
    Rebekah:
    We have removed iTunes and its components now! From here, our next step is to restart the computer. Then once you reboot, you can redownload iTunes from apple.com/itunes
    Rebekah:
    That should allow you to download iTunes!
    SAMIA:
    Shall I downloaad the latest vesion?
    Rebekah:
    You will want to first restart the computer as shown in the article. That will ensure that this process goes smoothly and that everything was removed correctly! Then you can try downloading iTunes again.
    SAMIA:
    Okay, thanks Rebekah!
    Rebekah:
    You're very welcome! I'm glad I could help! And of course if you have any issue after the reboot and download, you can always chat us back, as chat is open 24 hours! You will just need to give your case number and the next Advisor would have all my notes!
    SAMIA:
    Thanks again for all your help, for I couldn't have managed with out it. Have a nice day!
    Rebekah:
    You're very welcome! I know how important iTunes is and I'm glad we could get you on a path to resolution!
    Rebekah:
    I hope you have a lovely day!
    Rebekah:
    It's been a pleasure speaking with you! Thanks for chatting with us Samia. If you don't have any more questions, select End Chat from the upper left corner of the chat window.
    SAMIA:
    Will do, thanks.
