I'm getting a glitch in Acrobat XI PDF document created from Word.

Hi everyone,
I have been using Microsoft Word 2010 and Acrobat for many years.
I have this Word document (a user manual) with images that I've pasted into from MS Paint. Then I add some arrows and call-outs.
I save my Word document with the Save as Adobe PDF option.
The resultant PDF is great but the images are in front of the arrows and call-outs.
But when I use the Save As option and choose the PDF type (of file format), it works fine: the images are in the back of the arrows and call-outs.
It seems to be a bug in the Save as Adobe PDF function. Or is it a user error?
Thanks.

Hi Bill,
Thank you for your response. You could be correct. It could be a Word problem with the Save as Adobe PDF option.
I tried the Save As option and selected the PDF Save as type, and it does work. (I selected the option to Create bookmarks using Headings, and that works great fortunately).
I have narrowed the problem to a simple test case, that you can try.
Create a new blank document in Word 2010.
Insert a header and a footer. (I chose the Austere).
Put a heading on the page. (I used the Heading 1 and typed This is a heading.)
Insert a line shape. (Insert | Shapes | select a line and draw a line).
Paste in a small image. (I did an Alt-Prnt screen of a small window, and then did a Ctrl+V to paste it into the Word document).
Move the line so that it is partly on and partly off the image.
Save the document.
Save it using the Save as Adobe PDF option.
It will open Adobe Reader or Acrobat and it will look correct. The line will be above the image.
Close the PDF file.
Back in Word, right-click on the image and select the Wrap Text | Behind Text option.
Save the document again.
Save it using Save as Adobe PDF again.
It will open Adobe Reader or Acrobat and it will not be correct. The line will be below the image.
So I think this points to the Save as Adobe PDF option as the problem.
Thanks.

Occasional letters missing in pdf document created in Acrobat XI Pro

I have been working on a pdf document created from Indesign By Acrobat XI Pro that will be for online download. The first version was fine. Links had to be added and some of the text coloured. After edits occasional letters have gone missing throughout the document. Why on earth is this happening? I now have to go through the entire document with a fine toothcomb before submitting it to my client again. It doesn't make me look good!
Any ideas?
Salli G.

I suspect that you somehow deleted the embedding of the fonts. Check the document properties and be sure all fonts are embedded.

Pdf file created in Word 2008 will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6 or any other Adobe program

I have created a 12 page newsletter in Microsoft Word Publisher 2008 and have done so many times before with no problem. Today, I have tried to save it as a .pdf file both in Save As and through the printer. Each .pdf file created in Word will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6, Photoshop C3, Adobe Reader nor any other Adobe software.
When I go to open it in Acrobat, my Mac gives me the spinning rainbow. If I try to click on the file, I get a watch and then Acrobat crashes or I have to force quit the software. I really need to convert this file and get it to the printer. Any advice???
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Word 08 12.2.8
Acrobat 8.2.6
Adobe Reader 10.0.0

Here is a better example.
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1.pdf
is the original PDF file that is uploaded by a user. Note that it is only 48kb in size.
I take the file, add a couple of watermarks and a footer for each page as well as a small image on the last page, add security on it and BAM, the file:
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1_AFTER.pdf
is now 1.5 MB and it takes a LONG time to print.
Thoughts?

How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

I have windows vista. How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

Do you own Acrobat? If so what version? If not what version of Word and PP do you have? Newer versions contain non-Adobe software for creating pdfs. If you do not own Acrobat that it would be best to check in a Microsoft forum on how to use Word to create pdfs.

How do i convert a pdf document to ms word with adobe acrobat x standard?

I purchased adobe acrobat x standard so as to convert pdf documents into ms word and excel. When I try to convert docments it asks me to purchase another adobe product.

The ability to export a PDF file to Word or Excel is part of Acrobat X Std. as detailed in this comparison chart. It sounds like you might actually have Adobe Reader X open instead of Acrobat X Std because Reader has the command File > Save As > Word or Excel Online. This partcular command in Reader links to the ExportPDF online service.

Printing a pdf document created in Acrobat Pro 9.0

Solved the problem of printing a pdf document created using Acrobat Pro 9.0 with SL - tried many different things form adobe etc and by accident discovered while in Acrobat you have to select ADVANCED in Print then click onto SAVE AS IMAGE in next box and then OK and all prints as it should. Just thought others may want to know this if they have had problems 1

I'm reviewing your post and while I see a fix, I can't locate the problem that you may have originally posted. Since I'm having issues, I'm hoping your's were the same.
Sometimes when I print an Adobe Acrobat 9.0 document, most of the printed word fail to print out (although they are in the PDF document). Almost all graphical elements print and the occasional line of text--but most text is missing. Was ti your issue?
Thanks.

Acrobat 9.5, file corruption when combining .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document

In Acrobat 9, when I combine .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document, there is data corruption. Some of the text appears as blank boxes when the pages are inserted into the larger .pdf, the main document. I have so far solved this by "printing" the files to .pdf, and then inserting them into the larger .pdf main document, but this creates a fatter .pdf file that is much larger than would otherwise be the case. Are there any other solutions within Acrobat 9, please? If this bug has been solved in Acrobat X or XI, please advise. Thanks.

As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why?

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro for one year and it is valid to november 2015, but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why ?

Hi m_karhulinna,
If you have Acrobat Pro, you can save directly to Word format from within Acrobat by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
(It sounds like you may be trying to use the ExportPDF online service, which is separate from Acrobat, and not necessary in your case.)
Best,
Sara

That may have been added by an extension or because you installed some (smiley) software on the computer.

I installed CS6, including Acrobat Pro, now I can't open Acrobat or PDF documents.

I installed CS6, including Acrobat Pro, now I can't open Acrobat or PDF documents. All other CS6 applications are available. The icon for Acrobat just shows the internet explorer icon.

There is a special procedure for Acrobat as part of CS. It goes something like opening one of the other applications and activating, then opening Acrobat (I think the others need to stay open) and activating it. It seems like a strange procedure and is likely documented in your info -- but I can't say for sure.

Acrobat Pro 9 - Conversion Error from Word 2007

I do not want to hijack the thread or question raised by another poster a short time ago but I cannot figure out how to correct the below.
Office 2007 fully updated
Vista 32-bit
Acrobat Pro 9.3.4
I have to provide data for someone else to assemble and publish and have been attempting to convert some Word documents nearly full of tables to press quality .pdf. Whenever I try the conversion, Acrobat Pro seems to re-center the tables both horizontally and vertically forcing the misalignment of the rows of data although any repeating headers remain properly placed. I can even see the table shift downward slightly when using the Acrobat conversion macro within Word. It may be adjusting the margins instead of re-centering.
I have tried using the macro within Word 2007, Create PDF within Acrobat Pro and Print to PDF as well as tweaking some of the settings such as lowering resolution and turned off unused settings such as enable fast web view, etc. The glitch also occurs with High Quality Print. Standard used to work but after the update to 9.3.4 that conversion shows the same problem. I even tried saving in Word 97-2003 format with the same results.
The documents in question do have custom page sizes and margins but do not use any abnormal fonts. I have tried changing the margins but the conversion to .pdf still changes the information and/or magins as described above. Row height seems to be correctly maintained.
I realize that a knowledgeable user can export the .pdf back into Word or other program but am trying to make it more difficult for someone to edit information which has always had extremely negative consequences in terms of data organization, layout and even integrity.
There has to be something really silly that I am overlooking.
Thank You

Thanks Bill.
Sorry for the delay, Verizon dumped its DSL +service to Frontier so we had one of the bi-weekly extended outages.
No changes occurred when I changed the default printer to Adobe PDF. All of my printers are new enough so that they can handle the current margins so I do not think that they is a problem there but changing the default as suggested by you and Michael eliminates that as the source.
I had previously been able to convert using the built-in converter in Word but was unsure whether or not the result would be press quality and was unable to find this information in my searches. I retested this and conversion using Word’s built-in converter works without a problem.
The conversion using Combine Miles > Merge Into A Single PDF also works without a problem with the highest quality setting. It took several hours to run but I guess or assume that it was because of the number of tags as this is a quick setting and therefore I could not disable the tagging which is not needed in this case.
I was also able to convert the same file which had been saved from Word 2007 into the 1997-2003 format as described above but the same problem came up when using the Acrobat macro and Create PDF from File. I had even created a modified press quality settings to modify settings like disabling autorotate, Object Level Compression, changed the binding option, lowered resolution, bumping the format up to PDF 1.7, etc., but all produce the same result. I have tried changing the document margins in case the conversion process rounded these but all produce the same artifact/problem except when I use Combine Files or the converter built into Word.

The plugin is gets called when we open any pdf document in internet explorer

Hello,
I have written plug-in( .api) for our use. But it's get called when ever I open any pdf document in internet explorer.
I am using Adobe Acrobat 10. What could be the problem. I don't want to call plug-in methods on internet explorer.
The plug-in method should call when am launch Adobe acrobat separately.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Regards,
Sow

Thanks for the response.
I have written some function in PluginInit. I don't want to call the method when acrobat launches in IE. It should call only when acrobat launches in Desktop.
How can I call the method only when it launches on desktop.
Please help me to solve the issue.

How to insert links in an Acrobat 8 pdf document to open folders

I am using Acrobat 8 and have made a "menu" page in InDesign which will has links in it to open other pdf documents. I have successfully exported to PDF from InDesign and inserted links to my PDF files which work perfectly. I now need to insert a link to direct the user to a particular folder so they can view the files/folders within that folder.
The complete set of documents will be burnt onto DVD and the "menu" pdf will open using an autorun file.
How can I insert a link in the PDF document that will open the folder that I want the reader to be able to view and navigate through themselves. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated as this is a major job for a client. I have seen a few ideas on the net but nothing that really answers my particular question.
Cheers - Claire

what should have been done, is place all the PDF in Folder including your contents page and Make all your links in Indesign. Then burn the folder to the DVD. That way all the links would be relative to location of the files.
Try a test that way. As was said Acrobat can't do it.

How to get Font's associated with a pdf document.

Hi All,
I am currently working on a project related to Document Management in SAP. For this I have a set of pdf document's that needs to be classified as 'searchable' and 'Non-searchable'. I am planning to identify the document based on Font contents i.e a searchable document has some font associated with it, and non-searchable documents do not have any font associated with it.
I am trying to use the class cl_fp_pdf_object and get the information about font. I see that there is no function which gives me this information directly. Is there any way to get font information of a pdf documents using classes ? or Is there any way to identify directly weather a document is searchable or not ? Please help.
DATA: l_fp          TYPE REF TO if_fp,
           l_pdfobj      TYPE REF TO if_fp_pdf_object.
    Create PDF Object.
      l_pdfobj = l_fp->create_pdf_object( connection = p_dest ).
    Set document.
      l_pdfobj->set_document( pdfdata = l_pdf ).
    Set task to get metadata.
      l_pdfobj->set_task_getmetadata( ).
    Execute, call ADS.
      l_pdfobj->execute( ).
Thanks
Aditya

Just curious....why would you make "font" the basis of that classification?

What is your operating system? Reader version?
