Merge to pdf gone from Word 2013

I have been making a lot of use of the merge to pdf function of Acrobat X standard but this has disappeared from the Word mailings options since I installed Office 2013. I have tried repairing the installation but this does not bring it back. This is version 10.1.6

I am also having the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Converting from Word 2013 to PDF - grey background appears

When converting my document from Word 2013 to pdf, it appears to be on a grey background. Now my images are "sticking" out instead of blending in.
How can I get the background to appear white, as it does on my screen.

Be sure that WORD gets patched too. Often these problems turn out to be OFFICE issues. You might try a sample print to paper to see the issue. Also, AA is at 8.1.6.
There have been several problems folks have had with WORD 2007. The updates help some, but it is almost as though MS put some hooks in WORD 2007 to cross up Acrobat in some cases. I have run PPT documents with earlier versions of WORD and Acrobat with no problem. WORD 2007 would produce a totally different result that was not expected. There are even differences in graphics that you put in a DOC file versus a DOCX file. The latter seems to be doing some strange things to graphics. I would tell you more, but I really try to stay away from WORD unless I need it for compatibility with others.

Problem importing PDF file from Word to Pages on IPad 2

I am trying to import a PDF file from Word 2007 to Pages on my iPad 2 using the file sharing function in iTunes.
I am able to import it, however when Pages saves it, I get the following message:
"Pages doesn't support some od the original document.
Objects in headers, footers, shapes, text boxes and table cells were removed.
Merged table cells were unmerged.
Objects were removed from table cells."
The document is a PDF form which needs to be filled in. The document was downloaded from a website and saved as a Word document where I have been able to enter in information and print it.
I would like to be able to fill in the form and print it from Pages as there are other documents that accompany this PDF file. (these are plain text Word documents which I have succesfully imported and can edit and print.)
Is there any way for me to achieve this?
Cheers,
Jules

I don't think Pages can do this - you'll need a dedicated iPad PDF program that can fill in and edit PDF files. And even then, reports are that different readers work or dont' work with different PDF's... I use Goodreader, which can do some PDF filling in, but you might want to check the app store for others.

Embed a font in a PDF(generated by Word 2013) using Adobe Acrobat XI

Hi all,
I wrote my thesis in Word 2013 using the LaTex font "LM Roman 12" that is an Open Type font not restricted (it results "Editable").
Although it is marked as opentype, word doesn't embed it into the exported pdf and I guess that is becouse the font is identified as Type1.
I more or less solved the problem printing the word file using Adobe PDF Printer or converting it with Abobe Acrobat XI, but I'd like to use the pdf generated by word becouse auto-creates index, links index items to contents and doesn't resize/alter the images inside the document.
The screenshot above is the properties of the pdf generated from word.
Is there a simple way to force the embedding in this pdf of the missing not embedded fonts?

Word 2013 uses its own pdf creator engine as far as I know. The step I performed were:
1 - In the save settings I told word to embed fonts (sorry for the language, I have the Italian client)
2 - Export from Word -> Save As -> .pdf adding also the table of contents/index
N.B. I cannot use PDF/A, and in any case it doesn't embed the font
A working solution is to use Acrobat XI to convert it or print with Adobe PDF printer, results:
The problems are 2:
1 - It doesn't create any bookmark and doesn't create links from the table of images to the linked images
2 - Images, also with the preset "High Quality Printing" customized using "No compression", are really ugly and if you zoom a bit more than 100% they totally be s**t. It wasn't that way with PDF created by word.
In the end, or I find they way to open the pdf created by word and embedd the missing font, or I find a way to make Acrobat XI creating bookmarks from the word file.
Suggestion?

I can't create pdf files from word 2003 files in acrobat 9 pro any more

Until recently, i was able to make pdf files from word 2003 documents using the "create pdf from file" in acrobat 9 pro. Combining several word documents into 1 pdf was also a piece of cake.
Now, this doesn't work any longer. If i want to select the files, office 2003 files are no longer listed in the supported file formats.
See the picture below

Try running a Repair Installation on Acrobat (via the Help menu).

Acrobat 9.5, file corruption when combining .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document

In Acrobat 9, when I combine .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document, there is data corruption. Some of the text appears as blank boxes when the pages are inserted into the larger .pdf, the main document. I have so far solved this by "printing" the files to .pdf, and then inserting them into the larger .pdf main document, but this creates a fatter .pdf file that is much larger than would otherwise be the case. Are there any other solutions within Acrobat 9, please? If this bug has been solved in Acrobat X or XI, please advise. Thanks.

As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

The numbering format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

The numbering in (Contents) format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

The issue is that I have made up a contract in Word.
The second page has a list of all contents of the contract.
gghhjhhbhbhhbhbjbhj....1
bv v vghvjvjnnnnnnnnn....2
When we convert to PDF some of the numbers change. Example 20 becomes 201.
Your help is appreciated.

Why does running PDF Maker or Save As PDF cause MS Word 2013 to fail?

BizGuru,
Somethings to consider.
--| In Windows - the OS needs a goodly space for 'elbow room' - you don't want to have HDD free space drop below something like 15%.
Say your HDD is 600GB, 60GB free space is leaving you 10%...
-| RAM - May not be enough; more is better <g>.
--| Virtual Memory - if in Windows, open up Task Manager. Look at all the "stuff" there. Most is not required by the OS.
Most of the listing is "stuff" associated with a full cart of processes associated with things you may not need or use but they suck up resources.
--| Graphics - Processing images into PDF can be resource intensive. Having a dedicated graphics card with enough ram makes a difference.
Be well...

Pdf's from word not working properly

Hi, I'm trying to print to acrobat printer and generate pdf's from word 2010. Unfortunately whenever I do it anything that is in the header or footer and any images on the page are completely missing when the pdf appears. Does anyone know how to stop this happening?!? It's driving me crazy.
Thanks a lot!

Hi there,
Just wanted to correct a possible misconception.
There is no PDFMaker ribbon available for the 64-bit version of Office 2010. However Acrobat is compatible with Office 2010 in that you can still create PDF files using Acrobat X by printing to the Adobe PDF printer.
To the original poster, could you upload a sample Word file?
Thanks,
David

The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year of 2013.
Acrobat 9 support of MS Project via PDFMaker stops with Office 2007.
For Office 2013 support you must use Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or newer.
A good to have reference:

Hyperlinks in PDFs made from Word no longer work

PDFs made from Word documents containing hyperlinks used to be no problem. I can still make PDFs from Word (using the 'Save as PDF' in the print driver), and the links show up as underlined blue text, but they no longer work.
It's been several months since I last made a Word doc with links and successfully converted it to PDF in this manner, but I can't imagine what might have changed.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Try to redo the default browser (i.e make IE the default and then let Firefox do it again).

Cannot edit pdf text in word 2013

I have just opened a PDF document on Word 2013. However the entire document is showing up as a picture and I am unable to edit the text.
please tell me how i can edit the pdf file using word 2013 as I believe we can. maybe i need to change the way the document is scanned.
please advise.

PDFs produced by scanning processes and the like often have no text in them or, if they've been made searchable, have both the scanned pages and the text behind them. The text in such cases is typically produced by an OCR process and may not be entirely
accurate. If the PDF isn't searchable, then all you have is page images. When such PDFs are opened in Word, that's also all you'll get. If a scanned PDF is searchable, the opened file in Word will have the same structure - images overlaying the OCR'd text;
in that case, deleting the images will reveal the text behind them.

HP Envy 5530 Always offline when attempting to print from WORD 2013

Hi,
My ENVY 5530 always appears offline when I'm trying to print from WORD 2013. HP SCAN DOCTOR doesn't help. I always need first to RESTART MY LAPTOP while my PRINTER IS ON. AFTER RESTARTING that will be the time the printer will appear ONLINE in my WORD 2013.
Being this case. I've noticed that I SHOULD FIRST TURN ON MY PRINTER before TURNING ON MY LAPTOP so my printer will appear ONLINE in word 2013. Using this workaround is inconvenient for me. And also when I am able to print from WORD 2013 IT DOESN'T PRINT ALL PAGES.. Please help. This printer should be helpful instead it was a disaster. Not really convenient.

Thanks for letting me know the printer isn't going offline now Envy5530User. But you are still unable to print a multiple page document though.
Can you print multiple page documents from other applications, or are you just having this issue with Office 365?
If the issue is just with Office 365, it might be a setting in the application. I would contact Microsoft for further assistance.
Please take a look at this document from my co-worker if you are having this issue with all applications. Missing or partial print issues on Windows 8 / 8.1.
If the issue persists, following the steps in this document for Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue.
Please let me know the results.
Thank You.

Printing PDF from Word 2013

I have a computer running Windows 8, Word 2013, and Acrobat 9 Pro. The Word document has highlighted text and that text is also changed to red, bold and italicized. When I try to print as PDF or save as PDF the highlighted text changes back to regular black and is not highlighted. Is there a setting I am overlooking?

Hi,
Acrobat 9 is not supported on Windows 8 and office 2013. Please use Acrobat XI and check the issue.
Acrobat 9 System requirement :- http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-acrobat-family-produ cts.html#id_69342

PDFs exported from word printing lighter than the original

Using Acrobat Pro XI v11.0.09 / Microsoft word 2013
Hi,
I have a word document containing text in turquoise (RGB 2,216,240) and dark grey (RGB 127,127,127) and an imported jpeg
I have created a PDF from this file (Which looks correct on screen) but when I send it to print it is much paler than the original printed directly from Word. I have tried on 2 different printers (same result), new cartridges, printing 'Best' quality not draft.
NB. The imported jpeg prints correctly, it is only the text and blocks of colour created in Word that are printing pale - i.e. supports that it's not draft quality.
Interestingly, if I change the colour profile from CMYK TO RGB in my print settings it prints correctly, but this option is only available in the printer driver for one of my printers. This would imply though that the problem is with the PDF and not when I create the PDF from Word.
(I have tried 'Save As' and 'Save As Adobe PDF' and also printing to PDF with the same results).
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is a document we need to send to clients.
Thanks

Hi Corrie1000,
In Word file, click on the 'Acrobat' toolbar:
Click on Preferences> Advanced Settings > Color
Under Color Management Policies> Select 'Leave Color Unchanged'. Click on Ok and then click on Create pdf and see if this works for you.
You can refer to the doc for definitions for the individual Color Managemenet policies and set accordingly: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/pdf-conversion-settings.html
You might also want to refer the Doc: Acrobat Help | Color conversion and ink management (AcrobatPro) for editing/ converting individual object colors in the pdf.

Rave
