I'm converting a word doc to a pdf and have a color spin wheel - going on 10 min now. any clue as to why? or how i make it stop?

Hit command tab and swtich to the Finder, under the Apple menu is Force Quit, do that to the program that is causing your "hang" and restart the program and what you were doing.
If you didn't save your file beforehand, then your going to have to make it again.

How can I convert a word file into a pdf and then upload to a web site?

I need to convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
site. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

Hi there,
There's actually an easy streamlined way to do this using Acrobat.com. Here are the steps:
1. Log in to Acrobat.com with your Adobe ID.
2. On the left, you'll see a navigation menu that includes the item "Import and Edit". Click that.
3. Choose the .doc (Word) file you want to convert and upload it to Buzzword.
4. After making sure that it looks the way you want it to, go to the top menu (still in Buzzword now, not the organizer where all your files live) and click the document menu. There will be an option to "Export" - choose that.
5. When prompted to select filetype, choose "Adobe PDF" and press OK.
6. It'll save to your desktop, so now you have to get it into your acrobat.com organizer. To do that, close the Buzzword document by clicking the little "x" in the upper right corner, under the Sign Out button. This'll get you back to your organizer, where you can choose "Import" from the left nav menu again. This time choose your new PDF file.
7. Select the file icon in the organizer and click the Share button. Or, select Share from the file context menu.
8. Select Allow Anyone With A Link To Share This Document to set the document to open access, and then click Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is copied onto the clipboard.
9. Open the HTML file and paste the code into the file. The Flash previewer can display any file type that you can convert to PDF.
Hope this helps! Good luck, and let us know how it works out.

Convert MS Word (.doc) document to pdf document

Hi All,
My requirement is that I need to convert MS Word (.doc) document to pdf document.
Is there any standard SAP function module.
Pls guide me.
Rishi

I dont understand why you want to use SAP to convert word file to PDF file.
1. Search in google
2. www.win2pdf.com - this may be useful
Still if you want to use SAP to do that then follow the below procedure.
   1. Upload the data from word to internal table using the function module : GUI_UPLOAD.
   2. Use spool :
              1) RSPO_OPEN_SPOOLREQUEST - Open spool request
              2) RSPO_WRITE_SPOOLREQUEST - Write to spool request
              3) RSPO_CLOSE_SPOOLREQUEST - Close spool request
   3. use the function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert spool in to PDF format.

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
site with Dreamweaver 4?. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

First you need to install a means of printing to pdf from word. I like cutepdf writer ( http://cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp ). Once installed you will print the doc in word and under the printer selection you choose pdf.
Once you have the file you put it in your local site folders and upload it using Dreamweaver. Be sure to link to it from a page so users can get to it and I would recommend giving the link a target of _black so it will open in a new window (see the properties inspector in DW).

When converting a Word doc to a PDF the pictures are surrounded by a blue shadowed boxes

I started off with a PDF, then converted to a Word doc, made necessary changes, and converted back to a new PDF. However, the new PDF has put blue colored boxes around all the pictures. Anyone know how to fix?

I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro on a workstation using Windows 7.
I have converted docs this way many times before, but for some reason it does not seem to complete the process about 50% of the time these days.
Here is a screen shot
Thanks!! Tom

Why when I am converting a word doc into a PDF are some of the pages moving around. It appears to be

Why when I am converting a 50 page word doc into a PDF using Acrobat XI Pro the pages are moving around.
It appears to be happening in the places where the previous page is not a complete full page, just a half page.
It is moving these pages up into the previous half page, but it is only moving them several lines into that page
Which has totally distored my e-book.
It is attaching all my pattern sheets at the very end of the file okay, etc.

Also, to be more sure you get in the PDF what you are seeing in WORD, go to the print menu and select the Adobe PDF printer, then go back to editing. The is a feature of almost all word processors to reflow the document for best results with the attached printer. It is also one of the problems of using WORD forms that such form designers miss. If you don't like the reflow, many the Adobe PDF printer your default and always print to Acrobat. If you want it to go to a printer, then print from Acrobat to that printer and it should remain intact. The other way to avoid the reflow is to use a layout program like Publisher or InDesign.

If you have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer, and don't see the Acrobat Ribbon in Microsoft Word there can be a couple of things to check:
First of all check which version of Adobe Acrobat you have installed (Help menu > About Adobe Acrobat), then see if it is compatible with the version of Word you are using. Use the following link to check what the compatible versions are: Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications for a list.
If you find your version of Adobe Acrobat is fully compatible, then check and see if you have the latest updates for Adobe Acrobat installed. From the Help menu > Check for Updates. If any updates are listed, install them, by following the prompts in the dialog boxes that pop-up.
Once you've updated, reboot your computer, then launch Microsoft Word again: Is the Acrobat Ribbon available now? If not, then you might need to check and see if the PDFMakerOfficeAddin is enabled in Word - The following link provides steps on how to do this. PDFMaker unavailable | Office 2007, Office 2010 | Acrobat 9, Acrobat X, Acrobat XI
Hope this helps,

Convert from word .doc file to pages and pages to .doc.

When I save a pages document in word the formatting is hopelessly changed. I am writing a book and reformatting 400+ pages is not fun. PDF save is not appropriate because I send bits to folks using word. When the formatting is messed up, they have no idea what it actually looks like.
And of course the reverse is true. When I edit a piece created in word, pages changes the formatting creating hours of work. Are there any solutions to this?
If I had windows resident w/word would I still have the same issue? No reason to have windows on the Mac otherwise.
PS: Open office has the same issue.

Thanks for the input. I spoke to Apple about the issue and they said if I need to share documents with non-Pages using people, and wanted them to see what I see, my only choice is Word. They stated there is and will never be any 'fix' for the issue and I said, well, guess I have to stop using Pages.
PDFs are great for the finished product but you can't make changes to them and I need my editor to see what I see and make appropriate changes. This is not a font issue, it is about spacing, indentations, images and margins.
It is worse for my career coaching clients. A simple example: Their Word created Two page Resumes opened in Pages scroll to three or four even when they use Arial or other common font.
And why Pages crashes 15 times in an hour? No idea... Reload the application. Of course I did. That's not a fix. Well, it must be your documents then. And the finger points where?
For book writing purposes, Pages offers wonderful layout and easy formatting solutions. They just don't translate to Word making Pages useless except for stand-alone documents I can send as PDFs. And readers, be clear, when I purchased the MacBook Pro and Pages, I clarified how I would use it and that I needed to work between the two products. "Oh, yes, that's simple," said the eager sales dupe.
What a waste. I am now stuck editing my books myself which any author can tell you is a fool's errand. Back to the keyboard....

Link to a Word doc in a PDF is not opening the doc in Internet Exlorer 8

I have a PDF created in Acrobat 9 Pro, I have given a link to a word doc. The PDF and link is working perfectly on browsers other than Internet Explorer 8.
In IE-8 Even if allow to open the doc when prompted, nothing happens.
How can I fix this?

Dropbox has a convenient feature to preview DOC files as PDFs in Firefox's built-in PDF viewer. It's convenient but can lead to this problem that you end up downloading the document as a PDF instead of a DOC file.
As long as the recipient uses the Download button on Dropbox's toolbar above the viewer (see attached screen shot comparison), the recipient should get the original format instead of the preview.
Is that the issue?

Unable to convert Microsoft Word doc. to PDF in Words (there is no response)

Unable to convert Microsoft Word doc to PDF in Words (Does not respond) or Create PDF from a Word doc. in Adobe Acrobat X Standard 10.1.1 with all updates installed. I receive apop-up saying "Missing PDF Maker Files: Dou you want to run the installer in Repair Mode" I have done this several times. I have un-installrd and re installed the program twice. Still does not work. I'm running Windows 7 Home version and Microsoft Office XP 2002. This is a brabd new Acrobat program right out of the box. Suggestions Please.

In WORD 2002, I believe you can only print to the Adobe PDF printer. I think that WORD 2003 is the first compatible with AA X. Check out http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html.

I have two pdf docs that I used Acrobat to convert to word docs. How do I extract one page from one doc to insert into the other doc?

I have two pdf docs that I converted to Word Docs using Acrobat Pro. How do I extract one page from the first doc and insert it into the second doc? When I "select all" it grabs the entire document. I need to take pages out, put other pages in, and edit some of the text.

HI djlarp,
Try triple-clicking in the text that you want to select--it can sometimes be tricky to select text in a converted document. If that doesn't work, it could be that the PDF document was created from a scanned document, and OCR wasn't enabled when you converted the document. (However, OCR is enabled by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website.)
If you're unable to select text by triple-clicking, let us know. I would be happy to take a closer look at your files.
Best,
Sara
