Improved "save as" Microsoft Word in Acrobat 8 or 9 versus 7

Anyone out there know if either Acrobat 8 or 9 has improved "save as" Microsoft Word performance versus that performance for Acrobat 7? What I seek improvement in is the fidelity of format conversion. Saving a PDF document as Word in Acrobat 7 loses much of the formatting.
Thanks.
Richard

>Saving a PDF document as Word in Acrobat 7 loses much of the formatting.
I don't have 9 yet but I can't imagine it would be a whole heckuva lot better.
It all really depends on the PDF and how it was created to begin with.
For instance, if it was previously an InDesign document, it will never translate in to a Word document. There are too many things you can do in ID that Word wouldn't recognize.
If it was already a Word document and was tagged properly, it would probably convert just fine (or pretty close.)

Save as Microsoft Word doc not using initial OCR process

I used Acrobat X's OCR feature wich seems to work quite well... It does all the normal stuff like giving you the option to fix up and suspect conversion issues. After correcting any suspects I then went to save the file as a document that I could then forward to sombody to edit... Say Microsoft Word.
When I went File->Save->Microsft Word->Word Document and selected the location, I could see in the little status bar down the bottom that Acrobat X went through what looked like another OCR process. And sure enough when I opened up the file the Word document contained all the un-fixed suspects in it.
Can anybody else confirm this behaviour, tell me if I am missing something or tell me a possible work around?

Please note that this is a known limitation with the current version of Acrobat (Acrobat X). We might fix this issue in our future releases.

"Creating Adobe PDF" slow (from Microsoft Word to Acrobat X)

Since I installed Adobe Acrobat X, whenever I print to PDF, it takes me a really long time to create a PDF. I have a simple 8 page Microsoft Word doc and several minutes later, it is still creating the PDF. Any clues? Fixes?

I had adobe updater running in the background. When I turned that off, printing occurred instantly.

Is there a shortcut to 'don't save' in microsoft word?

This applies to text edit and microsoft word. Whenever the window pops up about saving I just want to know if there is a shortcut command to say don't save. I know this is lazy because I don't want to use my trackpad but I just want to see if there's a shortcut.

Yes there is a shortcut.
On pre-Lion Macs Command-D worked for everything.
From Lion and newer Command-Delete works with Apple programs such as TextEdit and Command-D works with other programs such as MS Word.
On some keyboards the Delete key may be labelled Backspace.

Missing Acrobat 9 toolbar in Microsoft Word 2000

Was the Acrobat toolbar that appeared in Microsoft Word using Acrobat 8 removed from Acrobat 9? If not, how can I get it to show up? Thank you.

Yes, Acrobat 9 does not support Office 2000.

Can't print from Word or Acrobat

OK, I had this problem maybe two years ago and I did fix it. The problem is back and I don't remember how I fixed it.
I have an HP printer (new printer since the last time I had this problem so its not necessarily the printer) - MS Word and Acrobat Adobe will not allow me to print.
I can print Appleworks and can convert Word to pdf and print it with Preview not Acrobat.
Did I reinstall the printer program? or Word or Acrobat?

There is absolutely no relationship between what InDesign installs (and uses) and the operation of Microsoft Word and Acrobat. InDesign does not install any system components or share any system components with Word and Acrobat.
Look elsewhere for causes and solutions. In the case of Acrobat, if you have specific issues with printing with specific types of PDF files and/or devices, post your questions on the appropriate Acrobat forum (“Printing and Prepress”).

Dante font used in manuscript - when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

Dante font used in manuscript … when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

OK, we've got it!
What is happening is that when you use Microsoft's save as PDF in Word, the font isn't embedded even though the font is tagged to allow embedding. Furthermore, Microsoft doesn't properly put the font name into the PDF file such that Acrobat or Reader can readily find the font installed on your system such that the text can be properly displayed and/or printed. Acrobat and Reader attempt to display and/or print the text using a “substitution font” and of course, as they say, YMMV (“your mileage may vary”)!
I personally submitted the report of this problem (both the embedding and the font name problem) to Microsoft. They acknowledge the bug, tried a fix and provided me a build with it, but it wasn't right. Maybe they will ultimately fix it, maybe they won't. We don't know yet. We do know that if it is fixed, it will be fixed only for Office 2013 (problem occurs with all Office applications since they use the same PDF generation code) and thus such a fix won't help you.
Adobe Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro both provide an Adobe PDFMaker plug-in to Office applications (including full support for Office 2010) that adds an Acrobat Toolbar as well as a Save as Adobe PDF menu item. The resultant PDF file fully supports embedding of OpenType CFF, TrueType, and Type 1 fonts and in many other ways produces much superior PDF with a full range of PDF generation options not available with the Microsoft PDF. (Note that beginning with Office 2013, Microsoft does not support Type 1 fonts in Office documents at all, even for existing documents!) The Acrobat Office functions are widely used and respected in the end user community and whatever “issues” there are (all software has “issues” of some type - it is a matter of how many and how severe), you should be in much better shape for PDF production that with what you currently are using.
Good luck and let us know if this resolves your problems. (Note that you can download and install a free fully-functional 30 trial of Acrobat Pro to assure that it meets your needs! You can then buy a license and activate what you already have installed.)

How to convert a PDF to save as .doc microsoft word document

I purchased from an online source a resume which was sent to me via PDF using Adobe. I would like to save the PDF as a word document and when I press download and asked to convert to MS it just takes me back like a revollving door to advertisement for purchasing Adobe and back to the PDF file again. Please help me get my PDF converted to a word document. Does anyone out there know of a way ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi kathyv30365453,
You can convert PDF to Word using either the ExportPDF online service, or Acrobat. I checked your account, and it doesn't look like you've purchased an ExportPDF subscription. If you want to give Acrobat a try, you're welcome to download a 30-day trial from the link I reference above. In Acrobat, you choose File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.

Acrobat 8 plug-ins in Microsoft Word?

The options "Print to PDF" or "Save as PDF" work well in Microsoft Word but since my text in Word contains links to the internet, those links turned-up to be inactive in the resulting PDF document.
So I need to have the PDF plug-ins "Convert to PDF" or "PDFmaker" installed in the toolbar of Word. According to the manual of Acrobat 8, those plug-ins must be installed as the same time as Acrobat is installed.
During the installation of Acrobat 8, I activated those plug-ins but they never appeared in the toolbar of Word. What should I do to have those plug-ins active in Word?
Thanks in advance.

Actually when Office2004 out they were available. Office2004 had VBA and could use most all Macros except those that used Active-X.
when 2008 came on the markey those item were rendered useless. Because 2008 did't have VBA engine, and onlt certain Excel Macros would work.
2001 has VBA anD macros but uses the same VBA engine of it PC conter part. Still doesn't use Active-X. (Apple has an absolute Ban on Active-X, the only way it will appear is if MS buys out Apple which between slim and none and slim has left town).
Now once you have Acrobat installed you have access through Print menu Adobe PDF choice.
AS some here once again are spouting Office doesn't provide the hooks to provide creating links. It’s a Fallacy spread by adobe for years. You can take a File created in Mac and bring over to PC and Create PDF through in Acrobat PC and works just fine. The problem is with adobe and Acrobat.
Also for Adobe's edification: 2011 was a direct Port from Office 2010 PC code the only thing left out was what simply doesn't apply to Macintosh. Its so close to 2010 That theyven ported over a piece of code from PC's That bans the use of the characters <>?|\/ *, Sub Scripts and Numbers at the beginning of names for Hard Drives, DVD's, Directories, Folder Names, and File Names. and not use the File, FileServer, or Server in File Server Directories, and Directory Path names.
So go back to drawing board and come up with another excuse for Links not working. You need to get together with MS and get this problem straightened out. 15 years is long enough to avoid fixing a problem.

Microsoft Word Form Fields and Adobe Acrobat X

Using a Microsoft Word document where form fields are protected - if you save in Adobe Acrobat X - - you only see your changes - all the old data is lost.
Acrobat does not seem to have a solution.

You have the option to print the Word form and data to a PDF.
You have the option to use OOO.org, that export to PDF forms.
If you are talking about updating the content of the form and not the fields, create a new PDF under a different name and then replace the PDF page in the PDF.

Microsoft word isnt working, everytime i try to save a file it freezes and says that theres an error, it doesnt save any of the information i wrote in the document so i end up loosing it...help???

Hello,
I have recently encountered a problem with my microsoft word. Everytime i try to save a document onto my destop microsoft word freezes and shuts off saying that there has been an error. It tells me to report the error and that it will give me back the information in the document. I have tried multiple times to save the document and the same error keeps happening. I am now unable to save any documents that i have written through microsoft word.
Is there any way that i can fix this?? Please help!

The only thing that I could really suggest is posting in the Microsoft Office for Mac Word forum -> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac.
I've never seen that dialog, personally, but you can bet that some on the Word forum have.
Good luck,

Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
Regards
Mike

Can I preset the default save feature in Acrobat 10 to save a MS Word document as a "REDUCED SIZE PDF"?

I use MS Word for Mac 2011 to create documents and quotations. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.12 on a MAC. I want to save the MS Word file as a "REDUCED SIZE PDF" first, without having to first save it as a normal PDF, then re-save it as the reduced size. How would I do this?? Can this be preset as my default>

You cannot. Because this option both takes much longer and reduces the quality of files, it has to be chosen specifically.
In any case, when you save a PDF file from Word. this process does not involve Acrobat or Adobe software in any way.
