Incorrect Formatting when converting to .PDF

Hi All,
I am experiencing an issue when converting a file to pdf when using pegasus opera program. This has been working fine for ages until the last week or so. My colleague is also using the same setup and it is working fine for her. When converting the file to pdf, it loses all formatting (such as tables and lines) and highlights all text with a black background. I have tried completely uninstalling all adobe products and reinstalling, and have tried the latest version as well as versions 9 and 10. Does anyone have any idea as to what may be causing this?.
Many thanks,
Gareth.

I recommend you find a forum for the product doing the converting, as it doesn't sound as if Adobe Reader is involved. Good luck!

  • How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel?

    How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel? All info is no longer on the lines or in the columns they started out being in? Any help would be appreciated.

    Sara,
    Perhaps I am expecting too much from Adobe ExportPDF. The reason I subscribed to this service, for which I pay a yearly fee, was that I need a way to  convert scanned and digital documents to Word &/or Excel. I read the link you included but to be candid the more I tried to understand what was written the more confused I got. The process should not be this difficult. Currently I am using a NEAT scanner to create PDF documents of whatever I scan. After I changed the OCR setting on Adobe ExportPDF the output was much better but not to the point it was usable as it was. Information that appears to be lines and columns are sometimes not recognizing two columns and just putting them together in one. Obviously not usable. The other thing it does is bunch numbers that appear in a column that are just a bunch of numbers that I have no way of fixing. 
    Please let me speak to someone who can help me. Right now I not getting anything of value in my paid subscription.

    How can I keep the formatting when converting from Word to pages?

    Use only formatting that is supported (in the same manner) in both applications. You'll need to find which that is through trial and error. Beyond those formatting options, you'll need to do some corrections, as Fruhulda suggests.

  • Time Out Issue When Converting from PDF to .doc or .dox format

    I have a couple of PDF documents that I'm trying to convert to word doc (doc or dox) format.  I subscribe to the online Adobe Export PDF.  The export always times out.  The PDF is 18.08 MB.  Does anyone have have any suggestions?

    Hi riversideredhead63,
    Are you able to convert other PDFs without issue? Here are a few things to try for starters:
    Clear your browser cache (steps vary by browser).
    If you're using a work computer, check with your IT team to confirm if you have firewall/proxy settings that restrict the ability to upload files to the Internet.
    Try another web browser.  A list of supported browsers for accessing the ExportPDF service is available here: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/
    If those don't work, please get back to us. It would be helpful to know what sort of content is in the PDF file that you're trying to convert, and what application created the PDF. (If you don't know, choose File > Properties in Reader. The source application is listed in the middle of the dialog box.)
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,

  • When converting a PDF document to word, the word count feature is not giving me the number of words

    I have been using Acrobat for converting PDF documents to Word.  It had been working just fine, but lately, when I convert a PDF document to Word, it is not giving me the word count, which is why I subscribed in the first place. Someone has any idea of why?

    Hi Robin,
    I would recommend you to use Acrobat software to convert this pdf file, Acrobat software enable you to customize the conversion settings.
    You can download a free 30-day trial from this Link : https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
    After downloading and installing acrobat, Open pdf file in Acrobat, go to File menu -> Click 'save as other' -> Microsoft Word -> Word Document.
    A pop-up window will appear that would prompt you to choose the file to be converted, after you select the file, click on the settings button on the bottom left of the pop-up window and choose 'Retain Page layout' under layout settings, click ok and then save.
    Hope that helps with your query.
    Regards,
    Rahul

  • Acrobat XI Pro crashes Office 2007 Powerpoint when converting to pdf

    I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 x64 and Office 2007.  I also have Acrobat XI Pro.  When I convert a .ppt powerpoint file to .pdf, powerpoint stops working. 
    When I click Convert to pdf, Acrobat prepares the slides and then begins publishing and about 1/4 of the way through I get a message that powerpoint has stopped working.
    I have run the Office Diagnostics and it found nothing.
    I have reinstalled Acrobat and it didn't help
    Is there a compatibility issue?  Would an older version of Acrobat Pro work such as Acrobat 9 or 10?
    Is there an Acrobat Preference that I could change that would solve the problem?
    Thanks
    Tracy

    Thank you, it actually turned out to be the specific document, other

  • How to preserve original size when converting to PDF in Preview.

    I'm using Preview in Snow Leopard.
    Trying to create multipage PDFs from document scans.
    I'm finding that when the scanned image (tiff, png, jpg) is converted to PDF in Preview the size reduces.
    Selecting 'View actual size' shows the image with sometimes drastically impaired quality.
    This does not always happen. I have some images that stay the same size and quality.
    What factors cause this reduction in size in some images but not in others?
    I'm not sure but this could be only images that have been scanned by me. If so, what do I need to do to prevent the problem?
    These are not large images, just standard size pages.
    I have all the preferences to view at 100%
    This is not for printing, only for viewing on-screen.

    Please!!
    I'm not silly...
    As I said, selecting View actual size shows the image with sometimes drastically impaired quality (regardless of the window size).
    I also said I have preferences set to view at 100%
    It now seems as if this is only happening with scans I've made here.
    Images downloaded from the internet are converting indentically, no problem. But my scans are being resized when converting.
    I wonder if anyone with a bit of technical know-how can give me some clues as to why this is happening. It would seem to be something to do with the file itself.
    (There was another post on here with the same problem but for some reason its been 'archived' though the last posting was this month and the query was not answered. So I've posted the question again.)

  • Preserving Black color values when converting color PDF to grayscale

    I opened a full colored PDF document (exported from InDesign using Profile: Euroscale Coated v2) in Photoshop and tried to convert it to grayscale (image > mode > grayscale) and noticed that the black color values changed. text for example that was 100% black in the PDF document became a screen of 91% black.
    is there a way to preserve color values when converting full color PDF documents to grayscale?
    or in other words WHICH is the correct way to convert full color PDF documents or full color InDesign files to grayscale?
    I am using Adobe CS 3, Acrobat 8 Professional, on Mac OS 10.5.5

    Before you open the PDF in Photoshop, set PS's Color Settings to Photoshop 5 Default Spaces. When you open the PDF set the Mode to Grayscale in the Import dialog. Just remember to reset your color settings when you're done.
    Edit: Also, if you want to match black percentages as well as 100% black, set the Photoshop Color Settings to Photoshop 5 Default Spaces with the Gray working space to Dot Gain 20%.

  • Problems when converting from pdf to word

    I am a translator and I get most of my work in pdf files. So I convert the pdfs into words to be able to change the text and edit. However, when dcuments are converted from pdf to word I have found they become very unstable and difficult to work with to the point I usually end up not using the coverted file. Is there any place I can go for training about what to do with those documents? Can anyone relate to this problem?
    thanks

    Hi patryba,
    You can access ExportPDF here: Adobe Acrobat.com.

  • Removing file location path when converting to PDF?

    Is there a setting somewhere that I can alter so that when I convert a TXT or HTML file to PDF the location path doesn't show on the bottom of each PDF page? Currently when converting I get something along these lines of file:///F|/Folder/254126.txt[06-Aug-11 20:34:02] on the bottom in a smaller font than the rest of the page.
    Is there a way to disable this or is it just something I have to live with?
    I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

    Settings for converting text and HTML pages aren't in the preferences panel, they're buried in the web capture widget:
    Open the Tools Pane > Pages > More Insert Options > Create PDF from Web Page.
    Click "Settings"
    Uncheck "Place headers....", click OK then Cancel to close the capture dialog.

  • Excel 2013 hyperlinks will not transfer when converting to pdf

    Hyperlinks in Excel file do not transfer when I convert to pdf. I am using Excel 2013 with Acrobat XI Pro.

    While Crystal exports to pdf indeed lose hyperlink functionality (both in Crystal as well as in Visual CUT), Visual CUT allows you to use Crystal formulas (acting as hidden Tags) to create hyperlinks in the resulting pdf file. Another option supported by Visual CUT it to automatically detect file references in the pdf text and turn them into hyperlinks.  Contact MilletSoftware for more detail.

  • ExportPDF not retaining formating when converting to Excel

    Hi I just bought ExportPDF to convert these large pdf's into excel files. But whenever I convert the pdf to excel it takes all 8 distinct columns and lumps them into a single column. This would not be a problem if I could use text to columns to fix it, but unfortunately one of the columns is state names which are of course variable in length. Here is a sample of what is produced by ExportPDF. Hopefully I am doing something wrong, but it that is not the case than this is unacceptable.
    I need the data from the pdf in excel format so I can manipulate and edit it. Can someone help me out?

    Hi liquidandrew,
    There is no setting in ExportPDF to change the output, other than choosing a language for OCR. ExportPDF does it's best to keep the converted document true to the original, so it sounds like it's maintaining the hyphens where they appear in the PDF. Could you do a quick find/replace in Word to remove the hyphens? However, you would run the risk of removing hyphens where you want them, such as in compound words.
