Keeping styles when converting html to PDF

Acrobat Professional 8.1.2, Word 11.42, PowerPC G5 Dual 2.7GHz 1.5Gb Ram, OS 10.4.11
I have been trying to save a word file to PDF with links that have been copied from my website.
Creating a PDF from word doesn't keep the links, to get around this I have saved it as html then create PDF from file in Acrobat. The links work fine but the styles like bold and centering on the page change, can anyone help me this problem.
Thanks

The PDF Maker under OSX does not make the links live - nor does it
generate bookmarks. Acrobat 9 does not support the PDF Maker for the Mac
anymore (which is good to a degree since it has only confused issues).
I would go Acrobat / Advanced / Document Processing / Links /
You can get Acrobat to generate the links if the text is correct

Is there anything to do with IE when convert html to PDF?

Happy Christmas everyone !
We find that the PDF Generator can not convert to the same display result for Chinese words in html ,such as "中文","中文 ", when converted , the pdf seems not to be bold , and the italic words are not so same as they are in the html .
And we find that when we print the html in Adobe Acrobat 9.x , it works very well .
Some of us think that perhaps there is something to do with the html parser , i.e. Internet Explorer .
So who can tell me why , and how can I resolve this case ?
Any advice is appericiated !

When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

The original file is 32 MB:
15 MB is images
15 MB is Content stream
2 MB is everything else
After the PDF/A-1B save as:
The file is 182 MB
Almost 100% is Images
It is an architecture portfolio with many complex images. Is there a setting when I change to PDF/A that can limit the growth of the image files?

Word 2003 crashes when converting to a PDF in Acrobat 9.3.1

OS                    :   Windows XP Pro SP3
Acrobat Version:   Acrobat Pro 9.3.1.
M.S. Product     : Word 2003
Not every file will crash Word 2003 when converting to a PDF using Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 but this particular file and some others will produce the following error:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[Page: 1]%%
%%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: ) '$ $ $ &$   ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
The co-worker was receiving the same error in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 before we updated her to AAP 9.1.3.
I have read some other threads similar to mine but none of them answer the question well enough to try anything listed there. My co-worker can email me the Word file and I can print the file to my Adobe PDF printer just fine. I have Acrobat Pro 7.0.
Can anyone give me help on the cause and or solution to this problem????

Hi,
- syntaxerror indicates the file contains unintelligible PostScript code.
Any discussion of postscript errors, seem to consistently point to:

When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the numb

When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the number pages start from the second page.How to keep the original format?

Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.

Hyperlink problem when converting Word to PDF

Hi everyone.
I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard version 7.1.4 on a Windows 2000 environment.
I am using Word XP/2002 SP3.
I have a couple of problems when converting Word to PDF.
When converting a long link which is in 2 lines, PDF just takes one line into account, not considering the whole link
When I have hyperlinks that links to a web page, the link works fine in Word but in pdf, it gets the few words after the url address making the link not work. For example. I have a hyperlink that http://www.google.com/ and after this I have the words: "This is a sample text". The hyperlink in pdf would then become http://www.google.comThisisasampletext
Do you have any ideas how I can correct this?
Thanks.

To get the cross references, you have to use Convert to PDF (PDF Maker part of the Acrobat product). However, you first need to go to the print menu and set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Close the print menu and then do a reflow and link update of the document (ctrl-A, then F9 I think). This is needed to get the links correct since WORD reflows the document based on the printer (problem with them going to the wrong place).
Printing to the Adobe PDF printer (the step of print to file is not needed, just print to the printer and the rest is automatic) does not include the links. PDF Maker is a PreProcessor for the Adobe PDF printer that adds PDF Marks to the PS file before it is sent to Distiller (OK, the printer when used normally creates a PS file and then invokes Distiller to complete the process - your steps did with the Adobe PDF printer is the same process done manually).
Summary:
1. Fix document after setting the printer to Adobe PDF.
2. Use PDF Maker (create PDF button)

Double print in one line,when convert spool to PDF

Dear Expert:
I have a problem to solve when convert spool to PDF,there is one line will double imaged.
The form is created by smartforms.
I have tryed many ways,retype the text or start a new line,all didn't works.
So could any one tell me how to solve this problem.
Many thanks.
[Picture of the PDF|http://picasaweb.google.com/nika.wei/SAP#5274740000941172338]
Edited by: Nika Wei on Dec 1, 2008 9:50 AM

Thanks for your quick response.
I used the program you mentioned to download spool to PDF.The download file is like the link picture.
And the form will not overlap when I print it immediately.But it will overlap the first line when preview or convert to PDF. My user don't want to print it immediately they want to save it to PDF.
I know maybe there is something wrong with the format, I tryed retype the text but it didn't works.

Is anybody programmatically converting HTML to PDF? If so, how?

Is anybody programmatically converting HTML to PDF? If so, how?
With InDesign, or something else?
As long as the application (InDesign or something else) has a command-line interface, i'd like to know about it.
Am using .NET, but we still want to know what you're doing even if you aren't.
Source data is HTML pages from random sources, so it's not necessarily XHTML unfortunately, though i could tidy it into a consistent form.

thanks, but what i'm looking for here is programmatic usage -- that is, scripted or command-line -- not having a human user choosing menu options, etc
so as to your two suggestions ...
this would appear to be NOT programmatic ...
> And Acrobat will install a PDF convert toolbar for Internet Explorer to do this right from the browser.
and this might or might not be possible to program -- i don't know if people are somehow running Acrobat programmatically, would appreciate further information
> Acrobat has a Create PDF from Web Page function

Trouble in fop(convert html 2 pdf) source.

to convert html 2 pdf file I found the article from javaworld.
(http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-04-2006/jw-0410-html.html)
unfortunately I can't seem to find the two classes below even though import all fop 0.94 library files.
are there something I'm missing?
Thanks.

Much thanks for your timely reply. The scanner software requires that one must scan to an application. The configuration has to point to an executable. In program files I must select an executable, in this case acrobat.exe. Have been using this for years and never have seen a problem. Continues guidance sought.

Same as source file name when converting .msg to PDF

Hello,
When I right click a Word document and choose to convert it to an Adobe PDF file it takes a few seconds and asks me where to save it, not only this but it pre-populates the file name to match the original Word document, but obviously when saved if will be a PDF file - brilliant.
I have a folder structure with hundreds of *.msg files (Outlook email messages). When I do the same as the above the file name is not pre-populated, it is simply called "Memo Style.pdf", which in-turn means I can't batch the process easily either.
I checked the PDF Conversion settings in the Adobe ribbon menu in Outlook, however there is no setting to not prompt for a file name.
What makes this a little worse is the client is adamant this never used to happen and I can see evidence of this.
HELP!
Regards
J

Hello, I'm away from the computer right now. But I have lots of .msg files in a folder, I'm right clicking them in Windows explorer and selecting "Convert to Adobe PDF", when this is selected it triggers Outlook and starts converting the message to PDF, but it pre-populates the name as "Memo Style.pdf" which is a real pain and the client says this never used to be the case. We ideally want to do this in bulk, keeping the name it has before, but with the new .pdf extension - again the client says this used to be possible.

Preview Problem when converting .jpg to .pdf

My scanner isn't producing sharp enough images, so I am:
1. Saving the 300 dpi scanned file in .jpg format
2. Opening the .jpg file in Preview.
3. Sharpening the image.
4. Saving the .jpg file as a .pdf file.
But Preview saves the .pdf file with huge dimensions (as though it had been scanned at 72 dpi instead of 300 dpi). So when I open the file in Acrobat, to OCR it, Acrobat thinks the file is huge (over 30" wide and over 40" tall) and the OCR chokes with a message that the page dimensions are too big. Obviously I could simply resave the sharpened .jpg file in .jpg format, and use Acrobat to convert it to PDF, which gives it the correct page dimensions. But the sharpened .pdf file looks better on screen when created by Preview. Is there any way to convert the .jpg file to .pdf within Preview which will keep the correct page size information? (Or, as a last resort, is there a Mac utility which will resize PDF dimensions?)

Page break problems converting HTML to PDF

hello,
i'm using Acrobat Pro 7... yes I know I'll upgrade soon.
I have a bunch of HTML files that are interlinked, and I want to create one big PDF from them.
I'm going in through Windows explorer, selecting all the files, right-click, and click on "combine in adobe acrobat"
it works very well, to combine them all.
the one problem I'm having is page breaks. there are page breaks in the middle of tables.
I have seen online a few references to using CSS style and something like this:
TABLE { PAGE-BREAK-INSIDE: avoid; }
but it seems to have no affect when I generate the PDF.
do I need a different tool to make this work? Does Acro 8 or 9 have it? should it work with 7?
thanks

This is primarily a HTML feature as I understand it. Acrobat simply provides a PDF just like any other printer and the HTML would have to be set to add page breaks on print as you suggest. This would be the same case as if you printed to paper. I am not sure it is possible, but that is what I would look for, not Acrobat options.

Embedded mms-links change to open file-links when converting .doc to pdf

When converting word documents to pdf, all of my embedded video mms-links change to local open-file type links while my http-links keep their address. Why is this?
Since I've got about 600 of them I'm not too keen on changing them all back in Acrobat.
The links look like this in word:
mms://something.com/videos/file.wmv
But turns out like this after conversion:
Z:\catalog\mms:\something.com\videos\file.wmv
Notice the switch of slashes from / to \ after conversion.
Anyone got a clue?
Thanks!

Hi!
My versions are:
Word 2007 and/or Word 2003 and Adobe 9.1.0.163
I think I solved it using this add-in:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=4d951911-3e7e-4ae6 -b059-a2e79ed87041
and saving the .doc-files as .docx-files in word 2007 before saving them as .pdf, using the add-in.
Thanks anyway!
