I can't create pdf files from word 2003 files in acrobat 9 pro any more

Until recently, i was able to make pdf files from word 2003 documents using the "create pdf from file" in acrobat 9 pro. Combining several word documents into 1 pdf was also a piece of cake.
Now, this doesn't work any longer. If i want to select the files, office 2003 files are no longer listed in the supported file formats.
See the picture below

Try running a Repair Installation on Acrobat (via the Help menu).

How can I create a link from a CHM file to a webhelp file?
The CHM output (accreditation.chm) is stored in a parent directory, and the webhelp output (index.htm) is stored in a child directory.

Open the usual Link dialog and enter the relative path from where the CHM will be installed to where the webhelp will be installed.

Hi valerieross,
Acrobat can be used to view pdf's or edit pdf's not download them.
Check your browser settings.

The numbering format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

The numbering in (Contents) format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

The issue is that I have made up a contract in Word.
The second page has a list of all contents of the contract.
gghhjhhbhbhhbhbjbhj....1
bv v vghvjvjnnnnnnnnn....2
When we convert to PDF some of the numbers change. Example 20 becomes 201.
Your help is appreciated.

CAN I MAKE PDF'S FROM AUTOCAD DWGS. IN ACROBAT 9?

CAN I MAKE PDF'S FROM AUTOCAD DWGS. USING ACROBAT 9, WAS USING ACROBAT 11 AND COULD PLOT TO PDF FROM AUTOCAD MENU, DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION WITH 9

Newer versions of Acrobat's AutoCAD plug-in support newer versions of AutoCAD. Older versions of Acrobat have plug-ins that obviously don't support versions of AutoCAD newer than the Acrobat release. FYI, Acrobat 9 was released over seven years ago.

PS: You ought to have someone look at you keyboard and figure out why the “Caps Lock” key is stuck on.

Anyone else having problems creating autotext entries in Word 2003 after installing Acrobat 10 pro?

After installing Adobe Acrobat 10 Professional I can no longer create Autotext entries in Word 2003.
It seems to specifically be a problem with the Acrobat PDFMaker plugin for Microsoft Office as if I dont install that option Autotext does work however I need that functionality.
I've tried version 10.0.0 and 10.1.3.
Is anyone else having this problem?

It looks like Acrobat v7 had a similar issue preventing Microsoft Word from saving changes to the Normal.dot template which was later resloved in the 7.0.5 patch.

Can not create .PDF directly from file

I just reinstalled Acrobat 9 (9.5) to a new computer. I cannot create a PDF directly from a Word or OpenOffice document. When I look at the "convert to" or "convert from" tab the file extensions are not listed. I was able to do this before. I tried repair installation with no luck. How do I fix this?

Does anyone have idea?

Create PDF document from Word with hyperlink index entries

Hello,
I'm having a MS Word 2010 document with a content and index directory, both directories were created with the official Word functions and their page numbers are updated automatically. If I convert this document to a PDF file with Acrobat 9 Pro, the entries within the content directory are hyperlinks (if I click on a chapter the corresponding page opens).
But this doesn't work with the index directory at the end of the document. Where can I activate the hyperlink functionality for index directories?
Thanks for your help,
Devid

Hi,
thanks for this info.
On another computer I have Acrobat X Pro installed, but the result is the same. Or did I missed something?

Create pdf forms from a xml file for follow up information

Forgive my amateurishness, I have a simple .xml that was created with excel with name, address, date of service, age, dob, account #, unit, and business name. I need a form to be pre-populated with the .xml data but have other fields (mainly Yes/No check boxes) that need to be populated by another user. This user would then finish filling out the form and return it to me via email. I have created the form in LC Designer ES2 and created it with Acrobat Pro X. However when I attempt to import data I can only see the first .xml record. So my question is, how do I create multiple .pdf forms for each .xml record? Do I need to use Java within LC Designer? Or use Adobe Pro? I am not afraid to attempt to code, (I have many excel programs that batch print to .pdf using vb).
Thank you in advance

I don't play with forms enough to give an answer. However, you might search the Forms sub-forum for a possible solution. You might also find better answers there, though many of the forms experts drop by here too.

Unique issue with PDF to WORD .doc conversion with Acrobat Pro - any ideas?

I have been unable to solve the following issue when converting (save as...) PDF documents to Microsoft Word .doc using numerous methods. This could either be an issue that would be fixed in Acrobat Pro itself, or in MS Word - posting to the Adobe forums first.
PREFACE: I am attempting to use the converted .doc file with translation applications/software. Google Translator Toolkit is what I use the most, but ALL other translators are having this very same issue with the .doc file. --The source PDFs are product information from drug manufacturers in various countries that I need to have translated to English. I do not have access to their source documents, as they do not provide their own source docs for obvious reasons.
ALSO: I cannot use Google Translator toolkit to translate from PDFs directly - if you do that, it will attempt to translate a PDF and then export in an .html file, but it does not get the exact spacing of the sentences correctly, which leads to errors in translating - key things such as "can take with alcohol" and "do not take with alcohol". So that's out!
I am not having any problems with the resultant .doc file in MS Word itself. It looks right, the spacing matches the original PDF source perfectly, prints correctly, etc... Reference here on a product info sheet from Austria in German:
The problem: This is a screenshot from Google Translator Toolkit - the right side of the image - the spacing in the lettering from the .doc file I am uploading is not being read correctly, resulting in untranslated gibberish. (Note: this isn't a problem with the translation applications or software -- all are having this issue with .doc files converted from .pdf - this issue isn't present with any old .doc file that wasn't converted from a .pdf) -- It's definitely got something to do with some kind of embedded data in the .doc file that I cannot isolate!!)
My settings in Adobe Pro (convert from PDF to .doc):
Page layout: Flowing Text (this prevents the resultant .doc from having all of those text boxes, which also don't then work in translators)
Include comments: True
Include images: True
Run OCR if needed: True
Notes:
-I have run OCR text recognition on the source PDF files in it's specific language.
-I have edited the accessibilty of the PDF and have run the tag recognition and quick checks (to see if they solved the issue, which it did not - tagged or untagged, same problems!)
-I have exported the .doc BACK to PDF using MS Word's function, which results in a great looking tagged PDF. THEN I re-saved this new PDF back as a .doc - same issue.
-I have tried saving the PDF in all of the other formats that the translators accept. All have different issues. The only one that works consistently is saving to a .txt (plain)... The best is a .doc to .doc conversion, with all the original spacing. (I am not spending hours reformatting a .txt translation in word)...
I can't seem to find where this spacing data is in the .doc file!!!! (Changing the fonts, sizes, margins -- doesnt fix this either). I have tried so many methods...
Any thoughts on other things to try in Adobe Pro (or Word)?
EDIT: Here's an additional tidbit of info that may be the key to this... There's some kind of coding that is in the .doc that Adobe Pro converted from the source PDF that doesnt display in Word, but that is being seen by the translation programs....... I have no idea what these are, but I want to remove them!

I would suggest you look at the fonts that are being used. It may be a font issue that is not properly being read by the translation program.

How can I create poly coords from an AI file?

I have an ai file containing a U.S. map with each state on its own layer and path. I need to be able to create the poly coords for each state for use in an image map.
Is this possible and how? Thank you in advance for assistance.
m

This seems to work from simple tests.
#target illustrator
var textFile = File('~/Desktop/AI.txt');
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var idocText = '';
var layers = idoc.layers;
for (j=0; j<layers.length; j++) {
    var ipath = layers[j].pathItems[0];
    var itext = idoc.layers[j].textFrames.add();
    var pp = [];
    for (i=0; i<ipath.pathPoints.length; i++) {
        pp.push(ipath.pathPoints[i].anchor);
    itext.contents = layers[j].name + ":" + ("\r") + pp.join ("\r");
    pp = null;
for (var i = 0; i < idoc.textFrames.length; i++)
          idocText += idoc.textFrames[i].contents + '\r';
textFile.open('e');
textFile.write(docText);
textFile.close();
idoc.textFrames.removeAll();

Can't create shared quicktimes from my iMovie file...Any ideas?

This just started. I've just finished a project and wanted to create a compressed QT for emailing. I went through the 'share' process + got a message that the "disk was locked or full". It wouldn't compress to any format. Up until now it had been workin fine...Any thoughts, anyone?
Thanks

"disk full" means: no more space on drive...
switch to Finder
select your harddrive by clicking once
hit Apple-i
read in info window, how much space is free....
get rid of some zillion files (video+laptop=need for an external hd...)
try again...

How do I create a 300 dpi PDF from a Word 2003 file?

I need to convert a Word (2003) file to a High-res PDF file for the printers. They have requested 300 dpi.
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (trial version).
The file contains a number of pictures in jpg format. Most of these are pretty high resolution. The document printed in Word on a laser printer looks fine.
I did try saving the file a a PDF file, and that did work, however it was low resolution. There must be some settings I have to change. How do I set things so it will creat a high resolution PDF file?

There is no such thing as resolution of a PDF file. Text and vectors in PDF are preserved and get scaled depending on the device on which PDF is shown.
Images in PDF do have a resolution that you can set when creating PDF. When printing your file from Word:
After File>Print, select printer properties.
In "ADobe PDF Settings" tab, you will see "Default Settings" - click the Edit button next to it.
In the Images pane, select your desired resolution.

Creating Post Script File from Word Document

Hi How to create a Ps File from Word document.. Is there any api to do this ?
~Arjun

(1) It is
PostScript, not
Post Script or
Ps!
(2) To create PostScript from a Microsoft Word document, you simply open such a document in Microsoft Word and print to a PostScript printer driver instance, but chose the
Print to file option. Note that since PostScript from drivers is device-dependent, you do need to choose a PostScript printer driver instance very carefully based on a PPD that has few device dependencies.
