Mit Adobe PDF aus Word 2003 erzeugen: empfohlene Einstellungen für Screenshot-Bilder ohne Artefakte?

Mein Word-Dokument beinhaltet Screenshots von Text-Dialogen (einige 100% und einige verkleinert).
Obwohl die Qualität der Bilder im MS Word-Viewer gut ist, zeigen die erzeugten PDFs Artefakte hauptsächlich an schwarzen Texten:
Die einzelnen Buchstaben sind verdünnt oder verdickt!
Die Betrachtungsqualität steigt auch nicht beim Hineinzoomen (z. B. auf 200%).
Ich versuchte Einstellungen ohne Bildkompression, aber die Artefakte bleiben!
a) Ich füge die Screenshots via Copy&Paste hinzu, wobei ich das Ausschneidetool "snagit" benutze.
b) Wie ist die richtige Einstellung des Adobe PDF-Creators, die keinerlei Kompression anwendet (= Original-Bitmap)?
Oder ist es ein Prinzip, dass in einem PDF Bilder immer komprimiert enthalten sind?
Ich hoffe auf hilfreiche Tipps!

Hallo Willi,
Danke für die Tipps. Leider ist mir gerade die Testlizenz abgelaufen, aber vielleicht kann ich ja noch einmal eine neue beantragen.
Ich nutze Windows 7Ultimate-64 SP1, MS Word 2003 SP3 und hatte getestet Adobe XI Pro.
Ein Screenshot mit meinen Testeinstellungen, die leider nicht zu PDFs ohne Bildstörungen geführt haben.
Hier meine Testdatei, falls Du es ausprobieren kannst:

Danke!

HELP! Conversion to Adobe PDF - Causing Word 2003 to Freeze Up!!

I searched the forum and couldn't find anything addressing this. I'm trying to create 508 compliant PDFs out of Word 2003 (Windows XP), using Acrobat 8.0 Professional. So far, no success.
I open the Word document. The Adobe PDF and Acrobat Comments menus are displayed on the menu bar. I select "Standard" settings, then "Convert to Adobe PDF."
Word gets about 10% into the conversion, opens a "Now printing Page 1..." popup, and that's it - the application freezes completely and I have to restart the program.
Is there some setting that's conflicting with this command? What can I do to make this work?? It's driving me COMPLETELY crazy.

You likely do not have AcroTray running in the background and so the print process fails.

Missing Adobe Tab in Word 2003

I'm using Word 2003 and need to convert to pdf. Word 2003 does not give an option to save as a pdf or to Export. I downloaded the free trial of Acrobat, but there's no Adobe tab at the top of the page in word. I'm going by this youtube video (link below). I don't know if somehow I installed Acrobat wrong or what. Thanks so much for your help.

Converting pdf to Word 2003 in Acrobat 9 Pro

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro. I want to convert pdfs to Word 2003. I have followed the instructions to export to Word, but when I get to the dialog box that selects the conversion method, I choose Flowing, which is recommended, and click OK, and I get an error message that my PDF document may be corrupt. This happens with every pdf, whether it is a form downloaded from the internet or a text document I have created myself. If I try to convert to RTF instead, it makes the "conversion", but in doing so, it creates a file containing an image that is not editable -- it does not create a plain text, editable file.
Is the problem that I am using Word 2003? Word 2003 is not on the list of file formats to which the pdf can be exported, but when I get to that screen, I choose Workshare PDF in Word (which I believe I read somewhere is the correct choice for conversion to Word 2003) as my selection and it gets me to the "conversion method" screen (which gets me to the corruption error message). Again, even if I choose rtf, I do not get an editable document.
Any ideas???

Something to try -
Export the PDF to RTF.
Open the RTF file with Word Pad.
Save As (perhaps to a new filename -- 'something_bis.rtf')
Open this file with MS Word.
Not particularly surprising that the PDF you posted behaves poorly when 'worked' with Acrobat.
It is an output of Ghostscript.
Compounding the awkwardness of export is the fact that the PDF is not a Tagged PDF.
A significant raison d'etre for Tagged PDF is to support export of PDF content to a word processor application.

Part of the problem in helping is likely that there is no program Adobe -- that is the company name. You are in the Acrobat forum, but it sounds like you have subscribed to Export PDF or such, a different program. The subscription to Acrobat is currently $19.99 per month.

Transparente Farben mit Adobe PDF drucken

Hallo,
kann mir jemand sagen, wie ich mit dem Adobe PDF-Drucker von Adobe X Pro transparente Farben ducken kann?
Es soll eine PDF aus einer Anwendung heraus erstellt werden, die mit transparenten Farben überlagert wird.
Beim drucken über Adobe PDF werden diese Farben aber leider als Vollfarbe dargestellt, sodaß der darunterliegende Teil verdeckt wird.
Weiß jemand Rat
VG
Axel

1. Du musst uns schon sagen, mit welcher Anwendung Du arbeitest, um Dir helfen zu können.
2. Diese Anwendung muss entweder die Transparenz reduzieren, also flachrechnen, dann ist im PDF keine Transparenz mehr. Das geschieht immer, wenn ein PDF über Drucken erstellt wird oder wenn ein PDF1.3 und darunter gespeichert oder exportiert wird oder
3. diese Anwendung muss PDF mit Live-Transparenz exportieren, das heißt es muss sich mindestens um ein PDF1.4 oder höher handeln, ein PDF nach dem Standard PDF/X4 (2008) kann so eine Transparenz enthalten. Transparenz kann über Drucken oder Distiller nicht erstellt werden. Es gibt KEINEN Drucker, der transparente PDFs erstellen kann, geht nicht. Genausowenig kann PostScript oder EPS mit Transparenz umgehen.
Wenn Du ein PDF mit Transparenz erzeugen willst, dann musst Du auf eine Anwendung zurücgreifen, die das kann, das sind Photoshop ab Version 3 (der Pionier der Transparenz), InDesign ab Version 2.0, Illustrator ab Version 9.0 und ein paar mehr. Diese Anwendung erzeugen transparente PDFs ausschließlich über SICHERN oder EXPORTIEREN, nicht über Drucken!

How to save edit settings under preferrences to use when creating or printing a PDF from word 2003 Windows PC 8.1

I have tried to save my PDF settings after editing them, but when I go to "Print" to PDF and check the settings I keep getting Standard default settings.
There is no Adobe PDF listed as a file heading to change conversion settings on my Word screen.
I have tried to create a PDF by open file through the Adobe application and also by trying to print through the Word application with document open and using Adobe PDF as the printer driver.I have changed or edited the settings but they do not appear as an option to select, just the standard default settings.
I have been able to save my setting as a Adobe PDF job options, but can't access them or use them when it comes time to convert to PDF.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have apprached it 3 different ways:
- by opening acrobat and going to preferrences, clining on convert to PDf
- Microsoft Word, then changes each section of the edit settings, ie
general, fonts, images, etc make the cahneges then hit OK, at this point I
get a save as option rather than a save. It saves my changes as a PDF, but I
am not able to access it when I go to make the PDF.
- I also have tried to print PDF from Word and got to properties to make
the changs with the same results as above.
- Then I tried yur suggestion and went to the printer in the control panel
and had the same results.
I am using mircosoft word 2003 which has been compatable with my windows 8.1
I think the problem may be I am using a "trial" version of Adobe Acrotbat DC
2105 version. It must not belettingme save the setting changes.But this
shouldnot be if they want me to really experience the full effects of the
program.
I appreciate your help, thanks

Word crashes mid PDF creation - Word 2003 Acrobat 9.3.0

I have a new PC and a fresh clean install of CS5 Design Permuim, including Arobat 9. The organisation is still using Office 2003 and no upgrade path in sight for that. Myself and several colleagues with the same software profile are now experiencing frequent problems with Word crashing mid PDF creation.
This has always been an issue with the ocassional Word file in Acrobat 8, but Distiller always worked as an alternative - NOT this time!
PDF Maker gives no error message, just that Word has encounted a problem and needs to close.
Distiller produces the following log message, then freezes completely. I then have to force quit Word to exit!
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: --nostringval-- ]%%
Stack:
/mF_OTF_V
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Not all documents are affected, but I can remove almost all of the content from the affected document and it still causes the error.
I have tried repairing Acrobat - no change.
One other odd symptom - after each crash, the default printer on the machine has changed to Adobe PDF.
I can successfulkly make the PDF on another machine which has not been upgraded to Acrobat 9. The rest of the settings are identical on the two machines, they are both running a standard organisation environment, with the same verion of word etc.
Can anyone suggest how to fix or at least isolate the cause of the problem?

Please update to latest Acrobat 9 release which is 9.4.2.
Also do let us know
a) office 2003 flavour: Standard or professional?
b) OS flavour? Also whether it is 32bit or 64bit?
Also as you mentioned that "Not all documents are affected", so we would require any of your affected file to analyze the issue. Can you please share the file? You can use acrobat.com to share the file.
Thanks,
Vishal

Creating a PDF from Word 2003: recommended settings for screenshot pictures without artifacts?

My Word 2003 document shows screenshots from text dialogs (some 100% and some in reduced size).
While the quality of the pictures is good in the MS Word viewer, my created PDFs show artifacts mainly at the black texts:
the single characters are eroded or dilated!
The viewing quality does not increase if I zoom in (e. g. to 200%).
I tried settings without picture compression, but there are still artifacts.
a) I add the screenshots via copy&paste using a snipping tool (= "snagit").
Can I improve the import of pictures to Word?
b) How can I select PDF creator settings which do not apply any compression (= original bitmap)?
Or is it the priciple of PDF to compress the pictures anyway?
Hope for some helpful hints!

I generally just print to the Adobe PDF printer, but then I am generally not using links and such (actually I don't tend to use MS products and thus don't even have PDF Maker in my applications. However, the bookmarks and links are the most useful to a lot of folks. The tags provide the accessibility aspects and the formating information. The latter is useful if you want to try to come backwards at some point (or allow others to do that). However, it is almost always better to keep the original so you never have to come backwards. I can see the accessability aspects to be useful, particularly for universities and government organizations. For businesses, it may vary with the type of business (unless the government puts more regulations in place!).
Typically, the tags are the factor that causes the most bloat in the resultant PDF. If you use lots of different fonts and embed them (always recommended), then that creates another form of bloat. Graphics that maintain more resolution that is needed can cause a lot of problems. I used to have one student who would embed 2400 dpi graphics in word files. I had to turn off graphics viewing in word because it would crash my system (the memory leaks in MS products are some of the worst). Simply reducing the resolution to 300 dpi (or 600 dpi) helps a lot. Keep in mind that the resolution of the eye is on the order of 100 dpi. You have to start using a magnifying glass or zooming to see the higher resolution (useful in some cases, but not usually). The intermediate step in creating a PDF is to print to a PS (you do not see this step normally), the step that often causes the problem with memory (you are limited to the size of free memory allocated to the TEMP folder -- not the free memory on your hard drive). Hope that explains some of the limitations.

Missing bookmarks when printing to PDF (from Word 2003)

When I want to convert my word-document I first used the "convert to Adobe PDF button" that is shown in the top bar in Word. However each time i used this, it was creating failures making Word shut down. So I decided to try and use the Print to option and the instead of a printer select the Adobe PDF driver. This is working great for except for the fact that it does not
add bookmarks to the PDF-file were (if it works) the Convert to PDF methode did. This is also set in the Adobe Acrobat preferences under Convert To PDF, only it does not work when using printing to the Adobe PDF driver. Anyone know how to solve this?
I'm using Word 2003 SP3 and Adobe Scrobat Professional 8.1.2.
greets sjaaky

THanks for the quick answer, I disabled the accessibility but unfortunantly it didn't resolve the problem. I get this error:

Create Adobe PDF from Word DOCX Issue

Good Morning All,
We have stumbled across an apparently well-known issue, which annoyingly for all concerned does not seem to have a satisfying answer. One rather long discussion is here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4237240. There is at least one other which also alludes to the issue basically involving Office 2010 SP1 and having the Word user template location re-directed to a network drive. None of the suggested things have worked, and we do not want to even try the user template location on a local drive, we want a fix for what is really a fairly standard scenario.
I think we have found something new to add to the mix, this is noted later in the post. For completeness I have also included a condensed version of events/stuff we have tried, to help anybody who reads this and may have an answer.
Our scenario is as follows:
We recently performed a Microsoft Office 2007 to Office 2010 SP1 upgrade. A week or so in advance of this we upgraded all those folks that had Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to X, (v10.0.0).
Within a couple of days of the Office upgrade we had reports of an issue whereby users could not convert Word documents to PDF. Window title: Create Adobe PDF, message: Unable to open the document <path to file>. Please check to see if you have permission for the above file. (The user always does have rights to the location.)
All machines are 32bit Windows 7 and well capable of running this OS and these apps.
Machine patching is maintained by SCCM.
Deployment of Acrobat and Office was done by SCCM.
The issue broken down:
Conversion of Word documents to PDF fails in these scenarios:
Windows Explorer – right click of single file and ‘Convert to PDF’.
Windows Explorer – right click of multiple files and batch conversion option.
Outlook – Convert to PDF and e-mail. (Error message is different, apologies I have no note of this to hand.)
It should be noted that conversion of any other file format works, plus conversion of Word documents consistently works inside the Word interface using Adobe toolbar.
Not consistently a user based issue:
It usually * fails for our main test user on her PC. Although sometimes a single file or batch file conversion will work. However the option in Outlook never works. (* Every so often the single file and batch conversion’s do work for the test user, there is no obvious reason as we have not applied any fixes that worked!)
Everything works fine for the test user on my PC and another PC in her department.
Not consistently a machine based issue.
The process always works for me on my machine, but fails most of the time when I use the test users PC.
The process always works for a test account cloned from the test user’s actual account.
Giving local admin rights to the test user did not help.
Summary of things tried:
Various forum suggestions have not worked:
Deleting/renaming normal.dotm worked initially but the problem returned within a couple of days.
Registering some Adobe DLL's: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll & C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\PDFMaker\Common\AdobePDFMakerX.dll.
The Word Add-in tool bar is enabled.
The users name and intials are present in Word options.
There are no rogue temp files in %temp% or C:\users\<user>\appdata\roaming\microsoft\word.
Stuff we have tried independently:
Repair Office install then repair Adobe install.
Patching Acrobat to 10.1.1 & 10.1.4.
Remove and re-install of Acrobat, including patch.
Remove and re-install of Acrobat Pro and Reader, (using the official Adobe labs removal tool), including patch. (When products were removed Office was repaired. Just Acrobat Pro X was installed after, no Reader.)
During this work I noticed two files in %temp% which get updated when file conversion is attempted: amt.log and swtag.log. After Googling these files I found there may be some interesting stuff in amt.log when the process fails. Unfortunately this has not been the case. There is no obvious log entry difference between a successful conversion and a failure.
However at this time I started to notice files in %temp% in the following format: cv*.tmp.cvr. Google revealed these to be Office crash dump files. Unfortunately these files are always zero bytes long and literally contain nothing to analyse!
So after clearing out all these .cvr files I ran Task Manager, and had %temp% open in a folder. I then tried the conversion process:
Firstly it fails!
Secondly a zero byte .cvr file is created and usually disappears right away.
Thirdly winword.exe appears and disappears quickly in Task Manager.
You can repeat this to your heart’s content by hitting the retry button!
The only thing I can add about my PC is that I never had Acrobat until I tried installing it to re-create the issue. So it may be that my PC having no legacy Adobe install issues, (I only had Reader previously), was less prone to whatever is the root of this issue? The affected machines in the field have at least been upgraded from v9.
As you can tell we have found it very hard to pin the issue down. The circumstances for a failure are not consistently repeatable. I do think the key thing we have noticed though is the obvious crashing of winword.exe when this process fails. As evidenced by the creation of the cv*.tmp.cvr files and watching the process appear and disappear in Task Manager. Nothing I have read elsewhere notes this, and it seems to me that winword.exe does not like being called in this way. This is surely very key to the issue?

I should also add that there are no error messages appearing on screen when we have a failure, and nothing is logged in any Windows event log.
I have done lots more searching since first reporting this. Lots of people have this issue going back to last year at least with Office 2010 SP1 Acrobat X. No answers or fixes out there apparently despite being promised to some people who have done a bug report.
This is really not good enough. I have reported our scenario as a bug report earlier today. Hopefully I will get a proper fix, then I will gladly pass it on.

When i print to adobe pdf from word the document isn't saved anywhere

I have installed the trial version of adobe acrobat xi pro so that I can print to pdf. I have successfully done this from email etc but it will not work in word. I go to print document select adobe pdf as printer and it comes up with the save window I create a file name and that file is then nowhere to be found at all. I have run search on the whole hard drive and I am choosing where I want the file as normal and it is definitely not there. Using a PC running windows 7

Did you pay attention to the path of the save window? Is it possible there is a log file instead, that likely gives information on why the PDF is not created?
Try printing to file in WORD (please pay attention to the folder when you do this). The file created is a PS file, probably with a PRN extension. Then start Distiller and open the file in Distiller. Do you get errors or is the PDF created? If a PDF is created, then it is likely that you have not enabled AcroTray that should be running in the background. What version of Acrobat are you using? There may be an issue with the version.

Error with "Save as Adobe PDF" in Word 2008

I have Word 2008 12.2.5 on Snow Leopard 10.6.4. I just upgraded all in one go from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to 9.3.3. I went to try out the "Save as Adobe PDF" function, and every time I get an error popup that says "An error occurred while saving the PDF file". The popup includes the OS X "Automator" icon of a robot holding a pipe(?).
First there is a dialog box where I set Adobe PDF Settings: Standard and After PDF Creation: Nothing. I click Continue and a file dialog is next where I choose the output filename, where I click Save, then the error box appears.
Help?
Thanks.

The Save As PDF feature in Office2008 Call up a PDF Creator similar to the AdobePDF Print Driver. whch OX.6 can't use.
To create Pdf you have to use method used:
http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-leopard.php
Not before you attempt to use this method if Rossetta is not installed. pop in your Systems DVD and install Rosetta. Then follow directions to install the Adobe Quality PDF Automator Script which will show up in the Print Menu. Click on Print > then click PDF. Then Click on Adobe quality PDF. AS for setting up Job options and other details Supposedly your suppose to have access. But I have no idea.
First thing Rosetta should be installed out of the box. and Second Adobe should install this Script from their installer. So their should be no intervention from the user. it should just work. Early report when OSX.6 first came out almost no one was able to get this to work. and I see periodic reports that people still can't get it tork and they have to to resort to saving as .ps files then droping on distiller.
Good luck.

PDF to Word 2003 problem

I am running Acrobat 9 and Word 2003. I want to export the .pdf file as a .doc file. This has worked in the past, but currently doesn't. I open the <file.pdf> file and then click export --> word. The document initialized but the OCR doesn't run. When I open the <file.doc>, it looks like an image.with the little box around it. I also tried exporting to <file.rtf> and to <file.txt> with the same result. What am I doing wrong here?

You have to run OCR in Acrobat first, then export. OCR is not typically run as part of the save as process unless I have missed something in the new versions.
