Importing MS Word docs with embedded images

When displaying imported documents with images directly embedded in the header as a watermark, SO8 displays only the frame but no image.
Saving the document (.doc) without changes & re-opening with word, the same effect is seen in word.
I understand I could delete the empty image frames & replace with a page background image, however this would prevent us migrating to SO, as our company has too many documents for this to be practical.
Does anyone know of a workaround to correctly import / convert the documents ?

Hi Ron
I don't know if there's a solution that will allow you to
import the diagrams, but if not then you could recapture the
existing diagrams (i.e. as screen-grabs of the Word document) using
something like SnagIt.

Importing .doc with embedded images?

I have a word doc which has an image embedded in it (jpg, I think). When I import it into Pages, there is an empty space where the image would fit, but no image. If I click in that space the image frame appears. How can I get the image itself to appear?
Thanks.

Finally, I think I have figured out all my java issues.
to import java classes all you need to do is enter the following in the source code of your bpel process. This is places after the last line of the process and before the partner links.
<bpelx:exec import="java.util.*"/>
<bpelx:exec import="java.lang.*"/>
<bpelx:exec import="java.rmi.RemoteException"/>
<bpelx:exec import="javax.naming.NamingException"/>
<bpelx:exec import="org.w3c.dom.Element"/>
<bpelx:exec import="java.math.*"/>

Issue of importing MS WORD file with inline images in 5.5 that did not exist in 5

Briefly, all of the files I created from dropping in MS WORD files with images look exactly the same in ID 5 as they do in WORD.
When I tried importing the same WORD files in ID 5.5, they look screwed up. For example, in WORD and CS5, the images were perfectly sized and aligned to fit the margins Then, on exporting to various formats (eg., PDF, EPUB), the program hangs around the 85% completion mark, and I have to manually end the program. I have mixed graphic formats on the images, JPG, GIF, and PNG, if that makes any difference.
Thanks.
PS: This input box will not accept hard returns - only manual line breaks. Is that normal?

I forgot to say that all of the same images in 5.5 are shown in various sizes. Resizing the frames manually, and then clicking on "Fit contents to frame," will of course, correct the problem, but it is frustrating to do.

MacBook Air with Mavericks: how do I download a web based Word doc with embedded Word files. At moment I cannot access the embedded files on the web (NHS mail) but can on a PC. Help please.

MacBook Air with Mavericks. I need to download agendas with embedded files. This is through an encrypted email account. My Mac is blocked from even opening the embedded files on line and I can't save any of this to my laptop. It works fine on my PC laptop. Help please. I know this is a problem for other people too, but would love the solution!

Gee, Pat, this is a real big help.
Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
Take Ownership of a File or Folder
The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
Thanks for the help. Have a great year.

Word doc with embedded Excel spreadsheet

I have a Word (2010) doc in which I have embedded Excel (2010) spreadsheets. We cannot open the spreadsheets after I convert the doc to pdf. Is there a step I'm missing, or is this not possible? Thanks

Content of the embedded object in a Microsoft Office application does not come over to PDF.
Basically PDF, being a completely different file format / technology from the MS applications' format(s)/technology, does not support this feature.
You can create a PDF from Word that has not embedded objects.
Now, with the PDF open in Acrobat you can attach the Excel files.
Be well...

DW to create Word sigs with embedded images?

This may be a bit off topic, but I've tried in many other
places....
Microsoft Word can be such crap. I simply wanted to create an
email sig with an embedded graphic, but Word screws up in wonderful
ways.
I need a very simple html file with some formatted text and
en embedded graphic, so I thought I'd use DW (I use 2004). What I
don't understand is stuff about CID's. When you use Word as an html
editor for Outlook, if things work OK then you can embed a graphic,
and the html will point to an image source as a CID which I guess
means the data is embedded in the mime stream. Can I accomplish
this in DW? Whenever I try my image source points to a local file
which is obviously no good. I don't want it pointing to an image on
my server either. Any clues??
Thanks

Unable to embedded xls files word doc with acrobat distiller 6

Hi,
I have a problem to convert a Microsoft Word docs with embedded excel(*.xls) to PDF using Adobe Distiller 6. The excel file will become an image file after conversion.
Please advise on what went wrong or is this a limititaion of Adobe Distiller 6.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Haikal

I suspect that what you are asking as nothing to do with Acrobat. For what you are doing, there is no need to use PDF Maker (unless you are looking for links or such). You do not have to use Distiller (unless you are taking about the Acrobat Distiller printer with AA5 and earlier), but simply print to the Adobe PDF printer (that automates the use of Distiller). In fact, Distiller can not handle DOC files, so I suspect you are using AA5. However, the end result will be based on whatever WORD sends to the printer, not how Acrobat converts it. If text is sent, then Acrobat will convert it accordingly. Sounds like WORD is sending the Excel file as a graphic. It may just be that is how WORD handles that OLE aspect of the embedding.
I am no expert on WORD (I use another package), but I really doubt that Acrobat is at fault. I would look at what WORD is doing. One way to do this is to print to a PS file (you can do this with the Adobe PDF printer using print-to-file. Open the PS file and you should find a graphic structure in the PS that represents the Excel file.

Importing MS word files with footnotes

Laying out a textbook. Client provided formatted text. The footnotes travel with the text as I edit which is great. However, I do not want the rule that separates the footnote from the text. I've searche ID and MS Word high and low to see how to get the rule to not appear. Any ideas or can it not be done without having to placing the files without formatting and starting from the ground up in ID? See link for screen shot. Thanks.
http://www.pelhamprint.com/uploads/footnotes.jpg

Hi there, I'm working with InDesign CS (I bought it a few years ago now, so its not the most current). I am trying to import a word doc with footnotes, but they will only import as endnotes, even though I have selected the import option for 'footnotes and endnotes'. I am doing a 50,000 work book, so I'd like each footnote to be at the bottom of each relevant page for easier reading. It should be very simple but I have no idea how to get around this. As usual, I have an impending deadline, so any advice or feedback or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
BTW Clearly I am not a computer guru, so 'scripting' etc would be way too complicated for me.
Cheers :-)

Importing Word Docs with Images into RH7

Hi All,
I have a large Word doc which is full of images and text that
I want to import into RH7. I've tried it and tried it, even
converted it to PDF and tried it, but I don't get any of the images
imported. I've discovered the images folder, but there's nothing in
it and, just in case they're hidden(!), I've published and still no
images.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks!

No I have only been using it since Word 2 days. :-)
Please don't mention the limit of 200 pages with graphics to
my documents which can run to over twice that size.
I repeat the point that if Word is struggling with this
particular document, you cannot expect another application to work
well with the document. RH does import Word documents with many
images, it is something that I have done many times. I think the
problem is something to do with the image type you have chosen
(emz). If you look in the image import dialog you will see that EMZ
is not a listed file type.
Without being able to see your document, it is difficult to
help you. Speak to your management. I regularly receive projects
from people on this forum and nobody has ever had cause to
complain. I would not risk losing the Adobe Community Expert status
by revealing the content to anyone.

Importing Microsoft Word doc to InDesign with embedded EPS art ~ scaling issue

Hi, my workflow calls for creating content in Microsoft Word 2010 with embedded EPS art, in this case MathType 6.7a math objects. When I import these manuscripts (after saving as Word 97/2003 format) into my Adobe InDesign CS5.5 templates, the embedded inline graphics have been resized. Strangely, InDesign is keeping the container frame at the correct dimensions and then upsizing or downsizing the art inside that box.
When I export a sample graphic from the Word file and unembed the same graphic after import it into InDesign, the two graphics are different sizes. InDesign might increase the size of one embedded graphic by 400% and then scale it down to 25% inside the anchored picture box and then in the next anchored picture box it might decrease the size the art to 50% and scale it to 200%.
I did a test and created a graphic in Adobe Illustrator, saved it as EPS, placed the graphic into a Microsoft Word 2010 document, saved it out to 97/2003 format, imported that doc into an empty Adobe InDesign CS5.5 file. Again! InDesign changed the size of the art and re-scaled it to appear the same.
I've been able to duplicate this issue on InDesign CS4 also, on both Windows XP and Windows 7.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Does anyone know why the InDesign import filter doesn't import inline art in a Word document at 100%? Thanks for the help!

My solution for this is:
1. Place *.docx (yes, docx) word document with mathtype equations into indesign. This will set correct baseline for equations which is very important.
2. download this scalegraphics script http://in-tools.com/downloads/indesign/scripts/ScaleGraphics.zip
3. copy script from zip folder to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Scripts\Scripts Panel\Samples\JavaScript
4. open palet (window/autoamtion/scripts) scripts, find new sript and run it
Voila, all equations is at 100%...
Script explanation: http://in-tools.com/article/scripts-blog/scale-graphics-script/
In links palete equations have eps extension but this is embeded wmf files so you cant open them in photoshop or distill it with distiller.-((( I use export to pdf option in indesign to make pdf file.
If you want all this eps links to export from indesign use this method:
1. in links palete select all links
2. in palete menu choose "unembed link"
3. on answer window choose "no"
4. select folder where you want indesign save files
5. press "select"
6. now you have all links in new folder unembed from indesign document and you can edit it with mathtype.

Images not importing from Word doc

SORRY MODS - Accidently posted this in the HTML Help forum
I'm having trouble getting my images placed in a Word
document to import ito my project. I have RoboHelp 2002 and first
experienced the problem there, thought I'd try the upgrade to see
if that fixes the problem. It did fix my step numbering problems
(all steps were numbered Step 1), but the image import problem
remains. The images are .jpg images and most were placed in Word
using Insert Image. Some were just copied and pasted. Regardess of
how the images were included in the doc, none come through in an
import. Am I doing somethig wrong? I've tried importing it as a
Word 2000 and a Word 2003 doc with no luck.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Mike

I had the same issue and could get no good advice on how to
fix it. What I finally did was take the embedded images from the
Word doc and save them in another location. I then inserted them
back into RoboHelp after I imported the Word doc. It's a little
tedious, but it worked.

Is there a difference between saving a word doc with images as a pdf or printing to pdf?

Is there a difference between saving a word doc with images as a pdf or printing to pdf. Images are sometimes missing when the document is saved as a pdf or they are visible to the document owner but seem to disappear when viewed after submission to grants.gov. and proposal Central.

Converting MS Word docs with coloured bacgrounds to pdf

Forgive an Acrobat 'dope' but this outwardly appears to be a simple problem ....... that I can't figure out!
For work I am using Microsoft Office Word 2003 (MS Office Pro 2003) and Acrobat 8 Pro. I have no problem converting an MS Word doc, with background or foreground images and text, into a pdf. However, if I give any MS Word doc a coloured background, using the Format Menu > Background > and then selecting a colour, that colour is not carried across in the conversion to pdf - I end up with a standard white page, instead of the coloured one!
Where am I going wrong? Or is this coloured background something that Acrobat won't convert, whatever I do? I don't wish to produce a 'pseudo' effect by placing a coloured image behind the text (which I know will work) because the pdf file sizes become larger than I want. I want to 'colour the paper' using MS Word's menu, and convert to a pdf with that same 'coloured paper' being the result. Is it possible? If so, how?
Thanks, in advance, for any help that may be available out there ......

In WORD: TOOLS>Options>Print>Background Colors and Images (I already had background printing checked, but that refers to the printing process, not the background. Checking this other box does the trick. It is probably off by default to keep from using ink in regular printers.)

RoboHelp freezing when importing large word docs

What are your experiences with RoboHelp for HTML Help when
importing large Word docs?
Mine seems to stop responding and has to be restarted. Also,
creating PDFs for large docs seems to be a problem.
While I am here, could someone please answer these questions:
1. Does RoboHelp support conditional inclusion/exclusion and
replacement of text? Where you can use a condition to display one
text OR another.
2. Does Robo support Modular Help?
3. What about automating output generation using batch files?
Is this possible?
4. Can PDF outputs be customized using templates?
it looks like Robo offers partial solutions to each of the
above questions but I will like to hear your experiences, as I am
on evaluation the tool with limited time.
TIA.
