Lose Hyperlinks when Coverting from Word to PDF

I am working on a policy manual that whenever there is a FORM related to the policy I have that form linked directly to the Policy Manual. When I convert to PDF I can still click on the link, however it comes up with an error.
Error Code:
General Error
URL
file:///CI/Documents%20and%20Settings/
lorraine/Desktop/FORMS/Application_Residential.pdf
Is there something in the way I'm saving the forms or naming them or even location that is causing that error? Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks

I have a number of pdf files as pages in an ASP.NET website.<br />I want to include hyperlinks to other pages that are not pdf files.  <br />I get the message "Could not open the file <file name>" which means that acrobat tries to open the file and not to transfer the control.<br />Is there a means to make Acrobat 9 pro Extended to return the control to the website?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Dinu

  • Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

    Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
    Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
    - a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
    - other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
    I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
    I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
    This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

    Greetings NoNameGiven,
    If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

  • I'm getting # marks when printing from Word to .pdf; what's going on?

    I recently reinstalled OS and all software, including Acrobat 9.  (No virus, just like to freshen things up on the system.)  Now, when I print from Word to a .pdf file, I get # marks inserted near header and footer.  This never happened before.  I unchecked the box (under properties) that says, "rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" and that made them go away, but I never had to mess with that previously.  Is that, in fact, the solotion, or is there something else going on that needs to be corrected?
    Thanks

    The check box was checked by default.  I made no revisions to the settings after reinstalling Adobe.
    As noted, this had never happened before.  The document was a letter with a letterhead graphic inserted (.png I believe).  When I pulled up various old letters I prepared using the letterhead template or even the blank letterhead template itself and printed to .pdf, the # marks showed up, whereas that had never happened previously.  Again, though, I made no changes to the default settings, so I'm wondering whether unchecking the check box really did take care of the problem or is just "masking" or "hiding" some other issue.

  • Hyperlinks not converting from Word to PDF

    I've read the other discussions regarding this topic & the solutions don't seem to work for me. I'm using Word '07 converting to Acrobat 8. Some of my hyperlinks will convert but not all. AND, one hyperlink is linking wrong in Acrobat even though it's correct in Word. I've checked my preferences in Word & Acrobat - all the right things are checked. I've tried creating it from Word & from Acrobat & nothing is working.
    Can anybody ease my frustation? Please?!
    Thank you.

    Please repost in the Acrobat forum.

  • Inconsistant page sizes when converting from word to pdf

    My word file has A4 sized pages and A3 sized pages.
    When I convert them to PDF, the content on the A3 pages get cut off.
    I want to keep the 2 different sized pages in my document.
    How can I fix this?

    To maintain links you have to use the PDFMaker plugin. I'm guessing it's
    not available for your combination of Office and Acrobat, so you're out of
    luck.

  • Page numbers are not generated correctly when print from Word to PDF

    Whenever I print my Word document to PDF, my page numbers do not reflect the page numbers shown in Print Preview.
    For example, I have a Word document with 10 pages and after generating it as PDF, the page number shows Page 1 of 1; Page 2 of 2; Page 3 of 3; ......Page 10 of 10.
    Please advise what may be the cause and how can I rectify this problem?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I do have some sections breaks on the pages, however the pages are all shown in running sequence even on Preview page.
    It is the final generated document that has this problem.
    I emailed my colleagues my WORD document and ask them to generate to PDF and they have no issues printing the WORD to PDF and every pages were in running order.
    Any other advise?

  • Editing PDF When Converted from Word to PDF

    I converted a word document to PDF. When I opened the file to edit and use the OCR Text Recognition it said could not edit because of renderable text.
    I also have photos and website links in the document.
    What can I do so I can edit the text?

    Thanks for your quick responses.
    Yes I do. I guess I need to re- edit in word. I just thought I could edit it in 9.0 Pro as well. I was getting some large spaces in between  some paragraphs. In word the spaces do not look as large.
    Also if you know if there is a way to make it so the links are workable. I plan to make the text protected from copy and paste, etc etc.This  is going to be an informative Ebook and I want the users to be able to click on the links and continue to various websites.

  • Why do colours change when converting from Word to PDF

    I am converting word files to pdf, however the header and footer background colours change once converted. How can I stop this happening?

    Depends on how you are creating the PDF. If you are using PDF Maker (the create PDF button), then check the preferences in that menu. There is an entry for the settings file selected. If you are printing to the Adobe PDF printer, the settings file is listed under the settings tab of the properties menu.

  • How to use .joboptions file while converting from Word to PDF

    Hi,
    I'm pretty new to Acrobat. I'm using Acrobat XI. I need to convert a word document to a PDF file which conforms to certain requirements described by a given .joboptions file. The .joboptions file can be opened by distiller, but as far as I know distiller is not invovled in the conversion (Word to PDF) process. So how can I make sure the converted PDF file meets the requirement described by the .joboptions file?

    Distiller is used when converting from Word to PDF, if you do it via the Acrobat panel, not the Adobe PDF printer or Word's internal Export to PDF command. If you've loaded your joboptions file in Distiller (via Settings - Add Adobe PDF Settings), then you will see it in the drop-down of Conversion Settings when you click the Preferences button in the Acrobat panel in Word.
    After you've selected your job options profile click the Create PDF button, and the file will be converted using the selected options.

  • Since 11-4-14 every convert from Word to PDF has failed online or desktop - when will this be sorted

    Since 11-4-14 EVERY convert from Word to PDF either online or desktop has failed, when will this be fixed?

    No replies on here so went online and tried various options including "repair reader installation" plus uninstall and reinstall etc, some posts suggested a repair from the Printers file (Vista) so installed AdobeCreatePDF desktop printer plus Xerox Phaser PS printer as advised. All without any obvious sucess ie still no word docs converted after hours of trying. Then unexpectedly a further test convert attempt succeeded; tested again on desktop plus online and now all works fine as it did before. Who knows why - possibly only Adobe know. Will leave this thread here just in case the fail reappears over next few days!

  • How to make images searchable (OCR) when printing from Word 2007 to PDF with Acrobat 10

    Good Day, I have checked several forums and the help file, but I can't seem to get a straight answer on this issue. 
    Our office creates many documents in Microsoft Word 2007 that contain both typed text AND images.  For example, I have a document with a summary section and then a .jpg of an event from Facebook.  We usually Print the document using Adobe PDF and the resulting PDF is searchable with the Find tool.  The problem is that the images contain text and we want that to be searchable as well.  I found posts saying to take the PDF and Print it again as an image and then run the Recognize Text tool.  I have tried this and it does indeed work, although the resulting PDF is grainy looking (even at 600 dpi).
    What I would like to know is if there is a way to get the images to be searchable during the conversion from Word to PDF. I could educate my co-workers on how to do this and save the trouble of having to touch each document more than once. Also, I do not like the graininess of the image nor the extra steps involved to convert each document.  It will require a lot more hands on maintenance than I have time for.
    Any assistance or clues you can provide on this topic would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance, Paula C.

  • How do I save bookmarks from word to pdf?

    How do I save bookmarks from word to pdf?

    Eustace Mendis wrote:
    Not convinced it can't be done... but then I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want to do.
    I believe what the original poster wants to do is preserve the bookmarks of a Word file into the interactive bookmarks feature of the PDF specification, so that the bookmarks appear as a clickable linked table of contents when that Word file is converted to PDF. You see this in every ebook or iBook. This is easy to do when converting Word to PDF in Microsoft Windows, but I am not sure it is possible from Mac Word because everybody complains about it on the Mac side.
    Converting bookmarks to a clickable PDF TOC is easy to do in other software on the Mac, like InDesign. Apple Pages might do it too, but I'm not sure.

  • Mac OS 10.6.7 corrupt font on export from Word to PDF

    Hi,
    I have a library of Word documents that use our corporate font: Officina Sans ITC Pro Book. I have previously saved these as PDF using Word for Mac and opening in Acrobat Pro 9 without any difficulty.
    Today however, while Word will export and create the PDF. When the PDF is opened in Acrobat it comes up blank and crashes Acrobat. I have tried exporting from Word to PostScript, but this fails: "Stack:/Font-dict-/ZCYKUX+OfficinaSansITCPro-Book".
    The font is avialable on the Mac. I have validated the font and using Font Finagler I have cleared the cache. All without success.
    One pointer is the additional six digits in the PS log, which is in front of the font name.
    Anyone got any ideas on how to clear the problem and start export cleanly from Word to PDF again?
    Thanks,
    Niall

    Thanks Steve,
    The link described our situation. You are correct: yes our font is OpenType PostScript and, yes I had updated to OS 10.6.7.
    I have been busy reading. For other readers there is a long thread here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2792142&start=0&tstart=0, where I see that you have also participated.
    I have posted constructive critisim to Apple on the OS update. However I don't think there will be a quick fix.
    I will probably downgrade back to 10.6.6, but need to steel myself for the task.
    Thanks also to Larry and Michael!

  • Tiny U's when converting from Word 2007 to Acrobat 9

    When converting a MS Word document that has an underlined word in it, the PDF has very small capital U's before and after the underlining. This is when going from Word 2007 on Vista to Acrobat 9 (CS4). Anyone else experience this?

    Here's how I can duplicate this.
    1 - Open a new document or an existing document
    2 - Underline any word using either the Ctrl-U keystroke or by use of the ribbon bar option (Word 2007). By the way, this occurs only in Word, works well in PowerPoint.
    3 - Save document either as .docx or .doc
    4 - Convert to PDF by selecting the Acrobat ribbon and clicking on Create PDF.
    5 - View PDF, zoom to approximately 800% to see the very small capital U's
    It should also be noted that if the "Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF" is unchecked, this issue goes away. However, this is absolutely not a viable option because all of my documents must be accessible for persons with disabilities. Furthermore, in theory I should/could be able to create the PDF from Word without the tags and use Acrobat's "Add tags to document" feature, but Acrobat doesn't handle complex documents well, or as well as creating the tags directly from Word.
    To see an example see this:

  • Black Pages - Convert from Word to PDF

    When I convert a Word document to a PDF, the pages on the PDF document are black.  This only happens on select Word document that use a specific cover graphic.  I've sent the same document to a co-worker and they were able to convert the document to PDF with no issues.  I have verified my preferences with my co-worker and these are the same.  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (10).  I was previously able to convert a Word document with the same graphic to PDF without any issues.  Any ideas on how to fix this?
