I can not open adobe files. mainly ones that end in doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert .doc files

I can not open adobe files that end in .doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert doc to pdf and I still cant open. I get an error reading.

Hi,
Which Adobe Service did you purchased?
If you have purchased CreatePDF please visit: https://createpdf.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
Sign in with your Adobe ID and password, and then convert your word doc into PDF.
Please let me know if that works.
If you have Adobe Reader, you cannot convert .doc file to .PDF by drag and drop.

Convert doc file generated by OpenOffice to PDF X1a

Hi, I have a .doc file originally produced by Open Office Writer and then converted to a Word format. I would now like to use Acrobat 10 to convert this .doc file to a PDF X format, but I'm not having any luck. I've tried the following two approaches:
1. I'm able to use Open Office Writer to convert it to a normal PDF format. I then tried to take that PDF file and convert it to a PDF X file using Acrobat Pro with Preflight, but a bunch of errors appeared.
2. If I start in Acrobat Pro, select Create PDF from file, select my documents, none of the .doc files produced in Open Office show up on the list--as if Acrobat Pro won't read any .doc files produced by Open Office.
Hope someone can help. I'm new to Acrobat Pro.
Thanks in advance.

Use Ctrl-P or Use FILE>Print when you have OO Writer open with your document. You should get something like below.
Just select the Adobe PDF printer, check properties if you like, then print. In this case, OO shows a preview of the pages in the document as they should look. I created a simple one as an example. I did a preflight after using the PDF-X1A settings and did get errors noted. One of them had to do with tagging that does not happen when you use the print. You might try to print normally and then use preflight to convert. I tried also and still got errors. At least I may have given you some things to try.

How to convert .doc file into .rtf file in Java?

Hello All,
I want to convert doc file into rtf format in java and for the same i am not getting any help so pls suggest some solution for that.
Thanks and Regards

MS-Word formats (DOC) are notorious for not being standardized from one version to another, so what ever you get will be version specific. If you must do the conversion, I suggest you do a MS-Script in Word to do it or one of the .Net languages. As stated the Word format from version to version is not standardized.

Hello Gayatri,
You can convert files from doc to docx using following options
Option 1
in bulk using Office File Converter (OFC) and Version Extraction Tool. Please refer below url for reference - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179019.aspx
Option 2 - PowerShell
please refer url -http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericwhite/archive/2008/09/19/bulk-convert-doc-to-docx.aspx
Convert DOC to DOCX using PowerShell
I was tasked with taking a large number of .DOC and .RTF files and converting them to .DOCX. The files were then going to be imported into a SharePoint site. So I went out on the web looking for PowerShell scripts to accomplish this. There are plenty to
choose from.
All the examples on the web were the same with some minor modifications. Most of them followed this pattern:
$word = new-object -comobject word.application
$word.Visible = $False
$saveFormat = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat],”wdFormatDocumentDefault”);
#Get the files
$folderpath = “c:\doclocation\*”
$fileType = “*doc”
Get-ChildItem -path $folderpath -include $fileType | foreach-object
$opendoc = $word.documents.open($_.FullName)
$savename = ($_.fullname).substring(0,($_.FullName).lastindexOf(“.”))
$opendoc.saveas([ref]“$savename”, [ref]$saveFormat);
$opendoc.close();
#Clean up
$word.quit()
After trying out several I started to convert some test documents. All went well until the files were uploaded to SharePoint. The .RTF files were fine but even though the .DOC fiels were now .DOCX files they did not allow for all the functionality of .DOCX
to be used.
After investigating a little further it turns out that when doing a conversion from .DOC to .DOCX the files are left in compatibility mode. The files are smaller, but they don’t allow for things like coauthors.
So back to the drawing board and the web and I found a way to set compatibility mode off. The problem was that it required more steps including saving and reopening the files. In order to use this method I had to add a compatibility mode object:
$CompatMode = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdCompatibilityMode], “wdWord2010″)
And then change the code inside the {} from above to:
$opendoc = $word.documents.open($_.FullName)
$savename = ($_.fullname).substring(0,($_.FullName).lastindexOf(“.”))
$opendoc.saveas([ref]“$savename”, [ref]$saveFormat);
$opendoc.close();
$converteddoc = get-childitem $savename
$opendoc = $word.documents.open($converteddoc.FullName)$opendoc.SetCompatibilityMode($compatMode);
$opendoc.save()
$opendoc.close()
It worked, but I didn’t like it. So back to the web again and this time I stumbled across the real way to do it. Use the Convert method. No one else seems to have used this in any of the examples but it is a much cleaner way to do it then the compatibility
mode setting. So this is how I changed my code and now all the files come in to SharePoint as true .DOCX files.
$word = new-object -comobject word.application
$word.Visible = $False
$saveFormat = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat],”wdFormatDocumentDefault”);
#Get the files
$folderpath = “c:\doclocation\*”
$fileType = “*doc”
Get-ChildItem -path $folderpath -include $fileType | foreach-object
$opendoc = $word.documents.open($_.FullName)
$savename = ($_.fullname).substring(0,($_.FullName).lastindexOf(“.”))
$word.Convert()
$opendoc.saveas([ref]“$savename”, [ref]$saveFormat);
$opendoc.close();
#Clean up
$word.quit()

Unable to convert postscript file...

I can't print a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Mac (OS X 10.9.1). The file sent to print remains stuck in the queue saying "Printing - Unable to convert Postscript file". My printer is HP OfficeJet 8600 Plus. It seems to be a problem related to Acrobat for Mac only, as I can print the same file with the same printer from Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Windows. All software and drivers involved are updated. Printing As an Image does the trick, but I am looking for a direct solution if there is one.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Trying to print from Quicken running in Win 7 under Parallels. Seems to function correctly through WIN, but in Mac print queue, generates the error "Unable to Convert Postscript File" What gives?
I think Quicken is using their own print library that may be adding artifacts to the postscript code that the Mac printer drivers cannot digest. Or, are you using a printer with postscript level 2 emulation and Quicken is sending postscript level 3 love?
Current on Parallels and Quicken software updates? Mountain Lion printer drivers for your device?
What about printing directly to postscript into a shared Mac folder, then opening that file with either Preview (will convert to PDF) or Adobe Reader 10.1.4 on Mountain Lion. You might need latest Ghostscript, Redmon, and CutePDF Writer -- all free on the Win 7 side to direct output to a virtual postscript or PDF printer from within Quicken.
I looked at the Intuit forums and their are dozens of pages reflecting printer issues with Quicken. This appears to be the application from ****.
Hope you aren't on the billable clock with these issues.

How To Print After Error Msg: Unable to convert postscript file

We installed "Maverick" on our MacBook Pro and our printer is a HP 8600. We were unsuccessful in getting our Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 to print our PDF files. Instead, we got the error msg: Printing Stopped: unable to convert postscript file. We have used this application for years without any problems. How do we solve this problem so that our application WILL "convert postscript file" or do we have to spend several hundred dollars to upgrade?

I think we solved the problem. Instead of looking for the solution via Adobe, we went to our printer info online, which was the HP OfficeJet 8600. We found special printer drivers for our newly installed Maverick operating system for our MacBook Pro. After downloading and installing the new drivers per the directions, we tested printing a pdf document and it was printed without any problem.

Problems converting DOC files in watched folder

Hi, Have a couple of issues with PDFG: We have managed to configure PDF generator and can view the AdminUI screens. However, when we place a word document in the IN folder, the OUT folder log displays the following message: ----------- Failed to process job <file> Error Code 1 009 Reason : The service to convert the document could not be looked up. ----------- The watched folder as well as services are on local drives. We get the same error when we use the AdminUI > 'create PDF' section to upload a doc/text file. However, we can right-click on a word document and convert it into a PDF. Both the JBoss and MySQL services are running. We also notice that the JBoss service takes a long time (> 1 hr) to start up. Our only requirement is to convert DOC files in watched folder to PDFs. Is there any way to speed up the service startup time? Regards, Nagaraj

Hi Chris,
- Yes. PDFG was installed on machine having an Office2003 install.
- Yes. The same user credentials were used for Office and PDFG.
- PDFG is not the only application installed. However, both memory/processor utilization were < 50% throughout the JBoss service process. The JBoss service stays on the "starting" mode for a long time.
- We have installed JDK 1.4.2_08

Nagaraj

Not sure, but MacKeeper is trash and could be the source of it, among any other problems you may be having. I suggest you uninstall it immediatley: http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
