Is there a way to convert a Word document with Red and Black into Spot colors in Acrobat X?

Customer sent us PDF files created in MS Word. Of course, Word creates CMYK versions of colors. I need the red text and black text converted into spot colors for 2 color output on press. Is there a way to do this? I saw another thread that said there is a Fixup in the Print Production/Preflight section of Acrobat X that has a convert to Spot, but I'm not seeing that. All I see is Convert to CMYK. I'm using Acrobat X 10.1.13 on OS X. Any help would be appreciated. He also sent the Word docs so I can drop that into InDesign and reformat the whole thing and fix the colors myself but if I can do it in Acrobat, that would be a lot quicker. Thanks!

Frequently in this scenario the red will be 100% of either magenta or yellow with 0% black. In these cases you can merely plate the Black & Magenta (or yellow) for press.
I've created a Preflight Fixup on occasion for these also.
An example shown - Note it requires the document is cmyk. MS Files will be rgb. You could create a Preflight looking for rgb colors.
With Fixup tab selected - Options > Create New Fixup > Type of Fixup - search for Spot in the field

- Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

Hi ,
There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

Is there a way of locking a word document in ios mountain lion so that it cant be printed or changed?

Is there a way of locking a word document in mountain lion so it cant be printed or changed?

You can print because it's your document. Others shouldn't be able to. But then it's easy enough to unlock them altogether.
Easiest is to get encryption software and just encrypt the document. Or create a small encrypted disc image with Disk Utility and store the document in the disc image.

Can't create hyperlinks after converting a Word document with Acrobat XI Pro

Hello,
Here's my problem.
I'm making a catalog document for my company.
The document that I'm converting to PDF is made on Office Word 2013 and it's a .docx format file.
I'm on Windows 8 and the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installed.
Inside my word document I have some pictures that have a hyperlink. Those hyperlinks directionate to a bookmark inside the word document. Inside the word document, if I do Ctrl+Click over the image, it will go to the page that has that bookmark. And it works. Period.
Beside that I also have some Cross-references on the word document. Those cross-references basically are the page number from the bookmark reference. By accident on most of those cross-refrences I left enabled the "Insert as hyperlink" on the cross-reference box options. When I Ctrl+Click over those cross-references I also go into the page of that cross-reference.
After I convert the word document into pdf, I can't get any hyperlink on the pictures, if I simply click on them, like if I click on a hyperlink on a webpage or something similar, the pdf won't go the the bookmark on the page that I've set on the word document.
The funny thing is that if I click on the other cross-references I can go to the page were that cross-reference is...
I tried all the methods to convert the file in order to obtain hyperlinks on the images...
I tried to use the Acrobat tab and the File -> Save as Adobe PDF, as both uses Acrobat PDFMaker, but nothing works.
Even tried all options on Acrobat PDFMaker but can't get it. "Create bookmarks", "Add links", "Convert Word Bookmarks", "...Word Styles to Bookmarks", "...Word Headings to Bookmarks", none works....
If I try to simply print from inside Word by choosing the Adobe PDF printer (like if I choose a regular printer), in the printers options it doesn't show up any hyperlink/link/bookmark option related, so that way is definitely a no go...
To reference, on 2006/2007 I also worked on a similar project and used this method on the word document (on Word 2003). At that time I had another Adobe Acrobat version, can't remember what version was...
This hyperlink situation was without any problem. After conversion, on the pdf file, if I click on a image it went to the right place inside that pdf file...
So I'm simply lost wether it's a problem of me, a problem of Word, a problem from Acrobat... simply lost...
I'm desperated....please, someone help me!!!

Ok, sorry for never talk since the last time, but I finally discovered why I had this problem.
I found out that M$ decided somehow to change the process of embedded hyperlinks on a image, but in a docx it doesn't get affected. Only after transforming it into a pdf by Acrobat that the problem emerges...
I found this site http://www.pb-solv.net/2013/08/embed-pictures-in-microsoft-word.html
Basically all I have to do is "Use Insert, Quick Parts, Field, IncludePicture. This inserts the picture in the old way as a field. You can use Alt-F9 to reveal the field codes and change the images to be embedded rather than linked."
Then, after converting it with acrobat, the pdf finally have hyperlinks on the images!!!
They change this on Word 2007. As I had the 2003, at the time, I didn't had this problem.
As I said, M$ changed something, but only is affected after converting with acrobat. So, acrobat also missed something in the process. I call it a 50/50 guilt.
To bad no one ever notice this problem...

Is there a way to open looong Word documents in Illustrator?

Hi,
I absolutely DO NOT want to install some office progs on my machine (I have another one for that kind of boring stuff but that's still on its way across the ocean) and need to open a .doc document consiting on more than 1 page. Is there a way to this with Illustrator? Right now thats the only prog that opens a .doc but I only get to see the first page.
THX

select the first page, at the bottom right corner there's a little red square with a plus sign. Click once on it, and the cursor will change to represent something that looks like a paragraph. Click anywhere you want page 2 to start, (another artboard for instance). Repeat for the remaining of the pages.

Converting a Word document with form fields to become a form fillable PDF file with email

We are trying to convert a number of word(97,and 2000) documents but it never works correctly. The converted PDF file is missing fields and the fields it does convert is one character long. The idea was to have LiveCycle just convert it without anyone having the need to re-design it. They would only need to add a submit button and an email address to the PDF form. Is there something we are missing?

For the problem of submitting by email and still submitting a PDF file:
The stock "Submit by Email" button submits via XML. I think you can do one of two things to get it to work:
1) Use a regular "Button" instead of an "Email Submit Button". Set it's type to "Submit" in the Field tab; then on the Submit tab, use something like "mailto:name@company" for your email address in the Submit To URL box, and set the Submit As type to PDF.
2) Change the XML for your Email Submit button (in the XML Source view): You'll find something like,
<event name="event__click" activity="click">
<submit format="xml" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:name@company"/>
</event>
Change it to:
<event activity="click" name="event__click">
<submit format="pdf" textEncoding="UTF-16" xdpContent="pdf datasets xfdf" target="mailto:name@company"/>
</event>
I don't know if you need to change just the "Submit format" in the XML, or also add the xdpContent tag.
Hope that works,
Mike

Is there any way to save a Pages document with security?

I mean, is there any way to save a file you just edited, with a password or something that prevent other people to access that file without a password?
I am on iWork on trial version, to test if I change to iWork or keep Office 2008 for Mac.
I used to save a file on Office (PC version) with a security option, two passwords, one for read the file and other for editing the file.....is there any way to do that on Pages 09?
Thanks

Yes:
+Inspector > Document > Document > Require password to open+
Just be aware that is not the same security as with MsWord. In other words they can not open each others secure documents.

Is it possible to convert a Word document with embedded files?

I am using Acrobat 8 Professional and have tried converting a word file, which contains embedded word, excel and pdf files within it. The document converts but the embedded files are not accessible. I have tried converting the document using print and also the 'Convert to adobe' button in
Word.
I saved the embedded files separately is they are, i.e. Word, Excel, or pdf and also saved them all as pdf's and then manually inserted them into the converted file using the Link button. I can open the embedded files, but when I send the converted document to others, they cannot open the files. Has anyone found a solution or maybe it's not possible with this version of Acrobat.
Thanks.

Is there a way to populate an InDesign document with Pantone colors from a .csv document?

I have a CSV document that inputs copy information into various labels we have set up in InDesign, but we also have Pantone colors that we put into this document. Currently, it just imports the color number and we manually change the color ourselves, but is there a way to automatically populate the colors into the document?

Hi,
Here is some code you may want to play with
Array.prototype.contains = function ( object )
var i = 0, n = this.length;
for ( i = 0 ; i < n ; i++ )
if ( this[i] === object )
return true;
return false;
function createLabels() {
var filterFunction = function(file)
return /\.csv$/.test ( file.name );
var f = File.openDialog("Please select CSV Files…", filterFunction);
var sep = "\t";
var n = 0;
var headers = [];
var rows = [], row = [];
var doc, m, pw,pb,ph, np, tf, tfo;
var p;
if ( !f) { return; }
f.open("r");
headers = f.readln().split(sep);
while ( !f.eof ){
row = f.readln().split(sep);
row.length>1 && rows [ rows.length ] = {contents:row[0], colorName:row[1]};
n = rows.length;
if ( !n ) {
alert("No data");
return;
doc = app.documents.add();
doc.documentPreferences.facingPages = false;
m = doc.pages[0].marginPreferences;
pb = doc.pages[0].bounds;
while (n--) {
row = rows[n];
np = doc.pages.add();
doc.importAdobeSwatchbookSpotColor ( row.colorName );
tfo = {
geometricBounds:[pb[0]+m.top, pb[1]+m.right, pb[2]-m.bottom, pb[3]-m.left],
contents:row.contents,
fillColor:doc.colors.itemByName ( row.colorName ),
tf = np.textFrames.add(tfo);
doc.pages[0].remove();
createLabels();
Sorry for not using the highlighting code option but it wasn't displaying the whole stuff :\

Not with icloud. You can email it to them or use some other sharing service like Dropbox.

Is there a way to get my school documents to open off safari into pages or my slides how's into keynote.?

I just bought the new iPad with retina and I downloaded pages for word documents and keynote for my power points for school. I thought I would be able to get my notes and power points from our school LION system onto my iPad through these two apps hence the reason why I bought them as that's what the lady at the store said. Ay help back would be greatly appreciated.

Those apps can read your stuff, but they can't download anything themselves, except from Apple's iCloud. Can't you just email your docs to yourself? From Mail you can open them with the iWork apps.

Is there any way to crop part of a screen shot and paste into Pages?

Instead of importing an entire photo into Pages, I am trying to:
-take a screen shot of iPad documentation
- open in photo roll and crop a section out of it
- paste into Pages
Is there an App that might crop and paste into Pages?
Thanks for any help.
Prea

You can do that with PhotoPad. You take a screen shot, crop it in PhotoPad and it is saved to Saved Phototos. Then you just go the Media section and import the croped photo.

Is there a way to recover a word document that was auto saved before a power outage?

I was working on a document that was previously saved, went to the save the darn thing, and of course the power zapped out. It was in word 2010? and even when searching for "AutoRecovery" files it is not there. just the original document opens, not the modified one. Please if anyone knows how to find a recovered one, or if it is even possible can you let me know.
Thanks!

I was assuming you meant 2011 and not 2010 since 2010 is a Windows version and not Mac
First a disclaimer, right now I am on a PC and not my Mac so there may not be a one-to-one matchup.
Clicking on the main Word drop down, this may be under Preferences, I have a Word Options button. From there do you have Allow Background Saves checked? Also, the button File Locations; find AutoRecover Files and see where those are located. Then using Finder, go to that location and see if you can find a file with a date/time stamp for the time of the power outage. If there is a file, open and see if that is what you need.
If there are no files, or cannot find the recovery file location, there may not be much option than to try and redo all the work up to the power outage. Word is supposed to auto save, and take you to the last saved form of files before an exit that is not according to the rules...it is supposed to do that, or so it claims.
