MS PowerPoint 2013 conversion fails.

Hi. I signed up for Acrobat (monthly). I uploaded an MS PowerPoint 2013 file to cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf, and it says, "!Conversion Failure." I tried three times. I am traveling on business, presenting every day, and this is the absolute worst possible time for my computer not to work. Can you please help? Thank you!

Hi Nazarene Israel,
You can only submit files up to 100MB in size to the Create PDF service.
What is your file size which you are trying to convert?
Does it occur with all files?
Please let me know which browser you are using and its version?
Have you checked with a different browser if possible?
Yes, you can try with Adobe Create PDF Desktop Printer as well and check if it works for you.
Please let us know if you require further assistance.
Regards,
Florence

SharePoint 2013 - Word Automation Services - Conversion fails ErrorCode 10 - Domain Controller on same (development) server as SharePoint

I have code attached below, running inside SharePoint (in a page), used to convert .docx document to .pdf using Word Automation Services.
SPFile inputWordFile = ##CODE THAT RETRIEVE THE SPFile ##
using (Stream inputWordStream = inputWordFile.OpenBinaryStream())
using (MemoryStream outputPdfStream = new MemoryStream())
SyncConverter sc = new SyncConverter(wordAutomationServiceName);
sc.UserToken = web.CurrentUser.UserToken;
sc.Settings.UpdateFields = true;
sc.Settings.OutputFormat = SaveFormat.PDF;
ConversionItemInfo info = sc.Convert(inputWordStream, outputPdfStream);
if (info.Succeeded)
What happens is that the conversion fails. errorCode is 10.
What I came to, is that this is related to the Domain Controller being installed on the same machine.
I have examinated and excluded all several other possible issues (memory resources, etc.).
What I had undestood as far, is that the problem is that "the
converter is executed in the context of a very unprivileged local account, and there are no local accounts on DCs"
Is this a KNOWN ISSUE?
Is there a workaround for development enviroment having DC+SQL+VisualStudio+SharePoint on the same machine?

Hi,
It is recommended to try the code demo in this documentation below in a Console Application to see if it can work in your environment:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff181518(v=office.14).aspx
If it still can’t work, you can restart the Word Automation Services in SharePoint Central Administration in case it is a service issue.
Feel free to reply with the test result if the issue still exists.

Powerpoint 2013 fails to play MP4 Video

We are unable to play a MP4 video in a presentation that I am creating in PPT 2013, it just says "unable to play video".
The video itself plays fine using Windows media player and I have managed to get Powerpoint to play the MP4 video when we changed the Media player with in PPT to use Windows media player.
The presentation does play WMV videos fine also.
Has anyone had this issue or can advise please.

Hi,
Is MP4 the only format of video that cannot be played in PowerPoint 2013?
In PowerPoint 2013, .mp4 videos encoded with H.264 video (a.k.a. MPEG-4 AVC) is recommended. However, even though the video file has the .mp4 extension, it may not play correctly if you don't have the correct version of the codec installed, or
if the file is not programmed in a format that is recognized by your Windows system.
You might want to convert your MP4 video to a more compatible video format supported by PowerPoint, for example AVI, WMV, ASF, MPG, then try again.

Video and audio file formats supported in PowerPoint.

You can search the forums for that error message and find previous discussions - they all boil down to the same problem. Somewhere in your query that calls this function, the code invoked implicitly converts from string to date/datetime. In general,
this works in any version of sql server if the runtime settings are correct for the format of the string data. The fact that it works in one server and not in another server suggests that the query executes with different settings - and I'll assume for
the moment that the format of the data involved in this conversion is consistent within the database/resultset and consistent between the 2 servers.
I suggest you read Tibor's guide to the datetime datatype (via the link to his site below) first - then go find the actual code that performs this conversion. It may not be in the function you posted, since that function also executes other functions.
You also did not post the query that calls this function, so this function may not, in fact, be the source of the problem at all.

Can't Publish Slides from PowerPoint 2013 to SharePoint 2010 Slide Library

Hello all,
When I attempt to publish PowerPoint 2013 slides to a SharePoint 2010 Slide Library it informs me that it failed. I am able to publish PowerPoint 2010 slides without issue. All of my permissions are correct. Is it possible to publish PowerPoint 2013 slides
to SharePoint 2010?
The weird thing is that while I can't publish, I can compile a new slide deck in PowerPoint 2013 using the "Copy slide to presentation" button in the slide library of my SharePoint 2010 site.
Thanks!
Kelly
Personal Blog: http://thebitsthatbyte.com

When I get this error it is because SharePoint is not passing the credentials to the network share where the slide library is located. So when PowerPoint
tries to upload slides to SharePoint it is giving an error of unauthorized (because your credentials are not being passed correctly). Every part of SharePoint is essentially a network shared drive just like you have an internal network to share files between
employees. Assuming you are having the same problem for the same reason, here's the work around:
Set up a mapped network drive that goes to where the slide library is located. It should be something like this: \\sp.sharepoint.com@SSL\site\Sales\Slide Library
When you connect to this drive it will prompt you for a log in (just like SharePoint would)
Once you log in your credentials will be cached (until you reboot your system or it times out)
You can then publish to your PowerPoint slides to the library either directly through PowerPoint or by going to the upload slides option on SharePoint
The problem is it only last until you reboot. When you reboot it clears out your credentials then you have to log in again. I’m hoping someone can figure out why SharePoint is
not passing the credentials properly so we can have true fix to this issue. Until then, this will get you by.

Cannot Publish Slides from PowerPoint 2013 to SharePoint 2010 Slide Library

I have the 64-bit version of Windows 8 Release v1.0, Internet Explorer version 10 (10.0.9200.17183), Office 2013 Professional 32-bit, and a SharePoint 2010 environment. I cannot publish slides to the SharePoint environment at all. When
I attempt to do so from PowerPoint 2013, I receive an error indicating all slides (X of X) failed to upload. When I attempt to use the option in the SharePoint 2010 Slide Library (Upload > Publish Slides) I receive the error of "This feature
requires Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007. Either the application is not installed, or your browser is not configured to support ActiveX controls."
I have added the URL for the site in question to my "Trusted Sites" in Internet Explorer 10. I read through the KB 2716529. There is no TabProcGrowth registry entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, but there is one under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
and the value is set to "Medium" which appears to be accurate. I tried running the "Fix it For Me" option offered with that KB, and the wizard indicated the problem could not be found on my computer.
How can I resolve this issue? Utilizing slide libraries is a very important feature of SharePoint for my organization, and going back to Office 2010 is simply not an option.

Hi Jen_O,
According to your description, my understanding is that you were unable to publish Slides into SharePoint 2010 with Office 2013.
For narrowing this issue, let's verify the followings:
Please test on other machines with the same system configuration, compare the result.
Please test on other machines with 32-bit system and IE 10, compare the result.
Whether you are able to publish Slides from Windows 7 and Office 2013 32-bit.
Whether this issue occurres for all slide files with Office 2013.
Please create a new slide in PowerPoint 2013, and check if it could be uploaded into a new Slide library.
In addition, Office Web Apps (as part of SharePoint 2010) allow SharePoint users to view and edit Office documents (Word, PowerPoint, Excel etc.) from within the browser. Typically we can click on a link to a PowerPoint, for example in a document library,
and be taken to a new page to present PowerPoint.

PPT 2013 Conversion: WMA Audio Files

Hello-
I do a number of narrated PowerPoint conversions into SWF-created Captivate files. With the recent upgrade to PowerPoint 2013 for Microsoft PCs, I've noticed that the narrated audio is no longer being converted on Captivate's end because it is WMA format. Do you know of any setting within PowerPoint 2013 or Captivate that will allow WMA files to be allowed or converted to a whitelisted format?
Thanks,
~Kyle~

Hello Kyle,
Welcome to Adobe Forums!
I am afraid that you can only insert audio files with .wav and.mp3 extensions .
If you want to insert your .wma format files you can use Adobe Media Encoder to convert it to mp3 or .wav.
Adobe Media Encoder gets installed with Captivate.
Thanks and Regards

Office 2013 updates fail on computers with Access 2013 installed

I have about 10 workstations with the combination of Windows 7 enterprise 32 bit, Access 2013 and Office 2007 installed.
SCCM offers up both Office 2007 and Office 2013 updates to these machines, but the Office 2013 updates, fail to install.
The same thing happens when I go to Microsoft updates and manually install the required Office 2013 updates.
I read that one of the updates required Office 2013 sp1.
But when I downloaded it, it won't install: KB2817430 "The expected version of this product was not found on the system."
This is the second month I've had the failures. I removed KB2878316 and KB2889927 from my deployments and packages to stop repeated install attempts.
But this month I've got a new on failing, KB2899493.
Is there a way around this problem?

Thanks, I couldn't really find anything but it looks as though this could be just the way it is.
from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2784668
When you start a version of Access on a computer that has multiple versions of Access installed, the Windows Installer may start, and
a message that states that the Windows Installer is preparing to install Access may be displayed before Access starts.
Every time that you start Access 2003, Access 2007, or Access 2010 after you use Access 2013, the Windows Installer repair operation registers
that version of Access. Similarly, the Windows Installer repair operation registers Access 2010 every time that you start it after you use an earlier version of Access. This does not occur when you start Access 2002, nor does it occur when you start the same
version of Access again.
Is this likely to also apply even when running App-V?

Creating a new chart in PowerPoint 2013 with Chart Styles applied

In PowerPoint 2013 when I manually insert a new chart into a slide, the chart automatically has the Chart Style "Style 1" applied. This has the effect of setting the font sizes of chart labels to 12.
However, no Chart Styles are applied if I try to add a new chart to PowerPoint 2013 using the following C# code:
var ppt = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Application();
var presentation = ppt.Presentations.Add();
var layout = Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.PpSlideLayout.ppLayoutChart;
var slide = presentation.Slides.Add(1, layout);
var shapes = slide.Shapes;
shapes.AddChart();
Font sizes seem to default to 18. Is there any way to create a chart or to set Chart Styles using Interop so that it matches a chart produced manually (i.e. has Chart Styles applied)?
I am aware of the Chart.ChartStyle property but it only seems to change chart colors and legend placement, not font size. There is no Macro recorder in PowerPoint, so I can't generate VBA code to replicate the action of creating a new chart.

Hi
>> there any way to create a chart or to set Chart Styles using Interop so that it matches a chart produced manually (i.e. has Chart Styles applied)?
You can add using shapes.AddChart2() instead of the last sentence shapes.AddChart(), I have tested in my projects, if I using AddChart(), the label size and the space will be different from manually insert a chart into a slide, but AddChart2() is the same
with manually operating.
And This object, member, or enumeration is deprecated and is not intended to be used in your code.

Hi,
The above error appears due to date format is differnt from SAP query generator and SQL server.
So you need convert all date in above query to SQL server required format.
Try to convert..let me know if not possible.

PowerPoint 2013 - We're sorry something went wrong that might make PowerPoint Unstable

Windows 7 running Office 2013. Mature installation no recent changes.
Simple update to ppt file created in 2003 ( using Compatibility mode). Single user edit saving to my documents
Error Message "We're sorry something went wrong that might make PowerPoint Unstable" / "Please save your presentations and restart PowerPoint"
PowerPoint no longer allows me to save any file in any format without this message.
Actions taken : Restart PowerPoint / Reboots / Deletion of temporary files from C:/Windows/Temp
Problem persists

I had this problem with Win81, PowerPoint 2013, pptx file, no system/software changes or updates that could be blamed. Out of the blue working on an existing document, messages as OP wrote started plaguing PPT. Brand new pptx files created with benign random
text also suffered from this. A save or two within the first 30 seconds of opening or creating the file sometimes went ok, but problem appears inevitably - implicating file lock issue.
There is remarkably little commonality in resolutions of this on the web, and no resolution from MS.
Tried many of the suggestions that can be found - no joy.
Finally isolated this to the live sync on DropBox. If DropBox is active (immediately syncing changes in the background), the problem persists. If DropBox is paused, the problem ceases. DropBox does not need to be removed or exited. If unpaused, problem
immediately starts again. Have not been able to check if other syncing cloud drives have same effect.
What's disturbing is that the DropBox/PowerPoint combination on this machine has been working fine for 1+ years. Turning off DropBox is not an acceptable solution. Perhaps a silent update of one or the other occurred to cause this.

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...

Unable to edit Visio 2013 drawing in Powerpoint 2013

Hello,
I'm unable to edit drawings created in Visio 2013 that I've embedded in Powerpoint 2013 - they copy over as pictures and I can only edit them as such.
Interestingly, I CAN edit Visio 2013 drawings that I have embedded in Powerpoint 2002/XP.
I'm embedding by simply copying the drawing and then pasting on the slide.
Thanks,
Tyson

Open PowerPoint 2013, go to Insert tab > Object > Create a new "Microsoft Visio Drawing", I can edit the drawing what I wanna edit.
open Visio 2013, create a new Drawing File and save as .VSDX file format, and then drag and move this file into a new creaing PPT, I can still edit it as expected.
A bit more background information and your exact steps how you got to this point would be helpfu

Hi there,
It sounds like there may be an issue with the quality of the PDF. Not all PDFs are created equal, and especially those created from scanned documents can be problematic if the scan quality isn't the best. Is there a dark background on the PDF, or stray marks or smudges?
You can try converting with OCR disabled at outlined in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community. But, while that's a good test to find out where the problem lies, you'll end up with a Word document that isn't editable, so it's not an optimal solution.
Please let us know how it goes.
