Images cut from Microsoft Word document being picked up in the file size by Acrobat distiller

Hello All;
I have a large MS Word document (book manuscript) with almost 400 images (all grayscale) and found that the tiff images needed to be replaced with jpegs to reduce the file size. I created the jpegs, cut the tiff images from the document, and inserted the replacement jpeg image for each tiff image cut. It reduce the file size in Word from 595 Mb to 210Mb. However, when I ran the distiller, it is somehow picking up the file sizes of the tiff files as it still gives roughly the same output (595 Mb) for the Acrobat document. Is there a way I strip out the tiff image overhead from the pdf or a way I can cleanse it from the MS Word document? Thanks in advance.

Acrobat automatically compresses images when a PDF is made, usually doing something equivalent to JPEG (it's your choice, check the creation options).
So, changing from TIFF to JPEG in the original file will usually make not a bit of difference to the original file size.
There is no simple 1 to 1 connection between the size of a Word document and a PDF. Some things are bigger, some are smaller.
You can experiment with Save as ... optimized PDF settings. Also, use Audit Space Usage in that dialog to see what is using the space.

Importing text from Microsoft Word documents

Can anyone offer recommendations or tips on the Import feature? I am considering use of import for a vast amount of content from Microsoft Word documents. I am using DW CS3 and I have heard good and bad about the import feature. I would like to try to make it work for me and to make sure I'm using it correctly. Many thanks! Ms. Gill

I hate to say this, but don't do that.
Ms. Web Editor (may I call you Web?), I regularly input stuff my clients send me from Microsoft Word. I never attempt an HTML conversion from Microsoft. It's just too dirty.
Instead, what I do is I copy paragraphs into Dreamweaver's Code View window, putting a <p> and a </p> before and after them.
If there are headings and sub headings in Word, I simply make them into lines without HTML, then press [Command]-1 or [Command]-2 to make those lines into <h1> or <h2> tags.
I never try to export from Word. Microsoft does not know how to create clean HTML and CSS. It is always a losing proposition to trust that they do.

Hi, I am trying to convert my resume on pages to a word document. When i export the file to to make it a word document ie(resume.doc) it messes up my whole resume on websites and pulls up a bunch of random words. Please help!

What exactly is the problem?
Your description is so muddled I am having trouble working it out.
How does your exported .doc file mess up websites? In fact what does it have to do with websites?
Where, how and what are the random words turning up?

How do I transfer from Microsoft word document to my Ipad?

How do I transfer a document in Microsoft Word on my computer to my Ipad?

You need an app on the iPad that is capable of reading/recognising Word documents. If you've got an app then one options is to do it via the bottom of the iPad's apps tab on your computer's iTunes (apps that allow file sharing, i.e. saving/copying content, are listed there), and a second option, if the app has the facility, is via wifi.

Just moved from microsoft word, struggling with one thing . . the view

I've just recently started using pages rather then microsoft word.
It seems great, but there is one thing that I'm struggling with, the page view
No Matter what I do I can't seem to show the pages left border (from the perspective of looking at the computer screen)
In word you can see the entire page, then there is space where it finished and around the sides.
I can't seem to get the view to show the space around the top of the first page and the left border of all the pages.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

What about the view - one up option? I see it in the help but I don't see it in my document. When I click on View, I don't see one up as an option.
Anyone know if there's a way to see one page above/below the other, rather than spread out side by side?
It's not in the View menu. One-up & two-up is in the percentage box at the bottom left of the document.

Convert Adobe Form (with data) to Microsoft Word Document

Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard
Windows XP Professional SP2
Microsoft Word 2003 SP3
I am attempting to convert an Adobe PDF Form (with data included) to a Microsoft Word document.
When I use the menu to attempt this, I get a Word document containing only the form fields.
I want to be able to grab all the text from the document, as these forms were used to fill in information for Job Descriptions, and I want to submit the text to job boards (without having to retype anything).
What are my options for obtaining this information?

Bill:
Thank you for all of your help. I do not have the program in front of me, so I don't have a means of independently verifying this, until I go see the user tomorrow when he returns to the office ...
Just to confirm, a fillable PDF is different from a standard PDF, as it stores the form fields in a special way, likewise, the data is stored in a special way. This is actually a quite useful feature, for compiling data, if you use the form multiple times.
A standard export of a fillable PDF exports only the fields.
To get the data, I would have to choose to save form data.
To get the fields and the data, I have to print it using a PDF printer to create a new PDF document. Once I create this new PDF document, I can then export to Word as desired.
If I want ONLY form fields: (one-step process)
Export > Microsoft Word > %filename%.DOC
If I want ONLY form data:(one-step process)
File > Save FORM DATA > FDF file format > %filename%.FDF
If I want both the form and the data: (two-step process)
File > Print to PDF > Save as %filename%.PDF
Open %filename%.PDF > Export > Word Document
Is this the process? Pardon my confusion, but I am a newbie, and I do not have the program to test with.
Thanks for your help, kind sir.

Unable to see all slides in published Microsoft word Document

Hi,
I recorded a full motion project with settings as shown below.
I need to publish this project in Microsoft Word document. I tried publishing the recorded project using 'File > Publish' and selecting 'Print' option.
Publish options: Type as Handouts and all slides as export range. I am publishing it to my local folder.
But, when I open the published word document, it has only one slide that is the first screen from where I began my recording. It does not have slides for my entire recording.
Please advise.

How load from MS Word document data to Oracle?

Hello,
if anybody have any idea of how to load data from microsoft word document data field by field to oracle database, instead of doing through the mailmerge. we have word documents which will have descriptions, titles, financial data for different years say for example from 1 to 10 years data in this case how can i load directly from document to oracle database? I appreciate your inputs.
Thanks so much....

Hi,
Although I use client_ole2 from the webutil package to go the other way i.e load oracle data into a word document, im sure there will be a client_ole2.get_* command to get the value of a field code from a document.

CAN'T OPEN MICROSOFT WORD DOCUMENTS AFTER DOWNLOADING MAVERICK

I downloaded Maverick OS X 10.9.3 and now I can't open my Microsoft Word documents! HELP!!
The message I receive when trying to open a document read: You can't open the application "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
I wish I knew this before I upgraded to Maverick. It happened to my iphotos as well but after purchasing new software for iphoto, I have been able to retrieve my photos.
I hope I don't have to do the same for my documents.
Thanks

I wouldn't recommend buying the boxed version of Office 2011. A new version of Office is coming out in a few months and you'll be stuck with old software. The next version of Office will be subscription only. You can buy Office 365 now and it will automatically upgrade you for free when the new version comes out. This is a monthly fee.
If paying monthly is not an option for you, you can also look at buying Office 2008. While it's End of Life software like Office 2004 (this means it will receive no further updates) it will run in Mavericks with only a few minor glitches. You might be able to buy Office 2008 at a more reasonable price. Otherwise I would like at LibreOffice or OpenOffice that Esquared mentioned above.

HELP!!!! I have spent hours trying to find out how to embed an image with a link or a Microsoft Word document with a hyperlink built within the document -- not as an attachment! Does ANYONE know the secret? Can it be done, or not! My PC clients do it.

HELP!!!! I have spent hours trying to find out how to embed an image with a link, or embed a Microsoft Word document with a hyperlink built within the document -- not as an attachment into my email -- but where it shows as the email content when opened! Does ANYONE know the secret? Can it be done, or not? My PC clients do it all the time easily. Then I want to be able to send the embedded image/document (not as an attachment, but visable within the email when opened) to many email contacts at once, BUT the individuals receiveing them DO NOT SEE the other email contacts. Cannot seem to be able to find anything on being able to do these 2 tasks.PLEASE, SOMEONE, HELP!!!

HP Laserjet PRO MFP125nw doesn't print Microsoft Word documents from PC

Hello.
I've recently bought a brand new HP Laserjet PRO MFP125nw printer. The functions seemed really nice and the price was acceptable. I've brought it to my home, installed it following the manual, connected it to Wi-Fi etc. It generally works fairly well. PDF files are printed perfectly well, the scaning function works and it's generally a nice piece of technology.
The only problem is that it just doesn't want to pring Microsoft Word documents from my PC. It prints it perfectly when I try to print .docx from my smartphone using the app, but it doesn't respond when I try doing it from the PC.
My Office version is 2007 Enterprise. Do you have any idea what I should do?
Thank you in advance

Thank you a lot for a quick reply, Cbert. It's fantastic to see HP actually reading their forums and trying to help!
I'll try plugging it into the wall and directly to the PC with a USB, we'll see if it works out.
About Word, i've already tried reinstalling Word, even installed a 2003 version to check if it works with that. Well it doesn't. And as i've written before, I tried turning some .docx files to .pdf using a converter, but it still doesn't print them.
Anyway, i'll try the first two points and keep you updated, thanks!

hi i can't seem to copy and paste pdf files from preview to a microsoft word document. it always comes up with nonsense characters in the word document. how do i fix this? thanks in advance

Hi,
The quickest way to do this (tested with OS 10.8.2, MS Word 2011) is in one line:
tell application "Microsoft Word" to close every document whose name begins with "book"
The reason why your script doesn't work is that you aren't specifying to Word which document you want it to close.
So, changing one line ought to do it:
close document incrementvalue -- instead of "close document"
But... when you close a document, you change the document count. Document 2 becomes document 1, document 3 becomes document 2 etc. So eventually you'd get a message saying "The object you are trying to access doesn't exist".
Because of this, if you want to do it in a repeat loop, you have to work backwards:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
set doc_count to count documents
repeat with x from doc_count to 1 by -1
if name of document x begins with "book" then close document x
end repeat
end tell
Hope this helps.

Website to download the converter from microsoft word to mac word documents

What is the website the recommend to go to in order to be able to open microsoft word documents on your mac?

OpenOffice for Mac is a freeware solution, and a good one. It opens MS Word files, and you can create them as well.

How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture file?

How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture or jpeg file? I am wanting to make the image I created my background on my macbook pro.

After I had the document image the way I wanted it, I saved it as a web page and went from there. Below are the steps starting after I did the "save as" option in Word:
1) Select "Save As Web Page". I changed the location from documents to pictures when the window came up to save it as a web page.
2) Go to "Finder" on you main screen, or if it's on your main toolbar at the bottom.
3) Click on the "Pictures" tab and find the file you just re-saved as a web page. (I included "web page" or something similar in the new title so I could easily find the correct file I was looking for)
4) Open the correct file and then "right click" on the actual image. (Use 2 fingers to do so on a Mac)
5) Select 'Use Image As Desktop Picture", and voilà! The personally created image, or whatever it is that you wanted, is now your background.
**One problem I encountered while doing this is that the image would show up like it was right-aligned in relation to the whole screen. The only way I could figure how to fix this was to go back to the very original document in Word, (the one before it was saved as a web page), and move everything over to the left.
I hope this helps someone else who was as frustrated as I was with something that I thought would have been very simple to do! If you have any tips or suggestions of your own, please feel free to share. : )

Generating PDF from Microsoft Word with C#

Hello,
We have created web-based system for a customer that stores/handles Microsoft word documents and provides these to users as PDF versions. Unfortunately some problems appear with our third-party component that generates PDF from Word. Our customer has previously used Adobe Acrobat X Pro to manually generate the PDF files and is confident that the output produced this way is valid. Despite searching and reading a lot I can't find any way to determine if (and how) it is possible to automate the process of generating a PDF file from a Microsoft word file using the Adobe engine. There is a lot of SDK documentation, how to control PDF rendering in winforms applications etc. etc. All I want to do is to load an Adobe Acrobat instance, feed it with a word document and save it as a PDF on disk. From a C# app (ASP.NET). Is that possible?
Best regards
Jan Hansen

As mentioned, you can probably send the DOC file to the Adobe PDF printer to create the file. What I keep reading in your post is a legal issue. You keep mentioning being able to create the PDF on a server automatically. The server use of Acrobat is a violation of the EULA. If you are creting the files off-line for posting as has been done, there should not be a problem. However, having these created in an automated manner by the user may be an issue. Before you go much further, I would check with legal counsel about the use of Acrobat in the way you intend. If they indicate there is a problem, then your question is not needed.
Back to the issue. Try just dropping a DOC file on the Adobe PDF printer icon (you may have to open the Start>Printers to do that. See if that creates the PDF. If so, you will just need to automate that process.
