MS Word docs with Right Facing Arrows print as Left Facing on top of next word

Printer:  M830 Multifunction printer/copier.
Computer OS:  Win7
Driver:   Both the PCL & PS versions of HP Universal Printing v5.9.0
                           -- HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (v5.9.0)
                           -- HP Universal Printing PS (v5.9.0)
We have MS Word documents in which we have Right Facing Arrows.  In MS Word they are created by type DASH + DASH + GREATER_THAN (e.g. "- - >" without the spaces.  We use then to instruct users on menu options (e.g., FILE-->OPEN).
When printed they become Left Facing Arrows printed on top of the first letter of the next word -- The letter "O" in the above example would have the Left Arrow printed on top of it.
Don't know whether it's the drivers or the Raster.
Thanks!

Thank you for the information. The fact that this is a newer computer is a little concerning. I believe upgrading to Windows 8.1 is a could test. If the same issues occur on Windows 8.1, this proves that the hardware isn't functioning the way it should. If this issue is removed when installing Windows 8.1, this proves that something was wrong with the current operating system. I would definitely give this a shot. Windows 8.1 isn't a lot different than Windows 8. The main difference is that Windows 8.1 has a different Start menu then what appears on Windows 7 and older. That's the main difference. I can understand it would be a little uncomfortable, coming from Windows XP. Anyway, please try updating to Windows 8.1 and let me know how it goes. If I find some extra information on this, I will let you know. Have a great day! Mario

  • Is there a difference between saving a word doc with images as a pdf or printing to pdf?

  • How to merge PDF/Word Doc with the Form I created?

    Hi All,
    Which software should I use to merger PDF/Word Doc with the form I created.
    One more question is I want the form page to show up right next to the ending or in the middle of the word doc . How to manange the placement of the sections?
    Please do let me know, its urgent.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Hari.

    1) The option of creating the whole thing as a LiveCycle form means that you need to convert the Word document using LiveCycle Designer. The import utility won't preserve the fidelity of the Word document the way printing to the PDF print driver does. It will likely require a fair bit of tweaking in Designer to get it looking like you want. You will likely get frustrated, since Designer is not a word processor.
    2) You can create PDF forms in Acrobat without launching LiveCycle Designer. While they look the same to a user as forms created with LiveCycle Designer, behind the scenes they are very different. When you create a form in Acrobat you overlay fields on top of an existing PDF document that you had previously created using the PDF print driver. There is an extensive scripting model for these "Acroforms". The technology pre-dates LiveCycle yet Adobe continues to improve the two forms models in parallel. In Acrobat, open a PDF and select tools-->forms-->show forms toolbar.
    3) I recommend this option if it's feasible. I don't know what you mean by "doesn't show up in a flow". If you're going to use the form in Acrobat 7, then save it as Acrobat 7 compatible in LiveCycle Designer. This is one of the options in the Save As dialog of LiveCycle Designer.

  • Eprint printed .doc with a wrong size!!

    my printer is C310a
    when i printed my  A4 .doc document, it printed out with a wrong size and it's all of them are bigger than the actual size!
    Please help me to slove this.

    Hi jefferl,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I understand that when printing a .doc type document with your Photosmart C310a printer, that the font of document seems to be larger than requested.
    The font and its size are set by the program you are using and/or the program used to create the document. If you need to change the font and its size open the document in a program where you can edit the font. Mostly likely this document would have been created using Microsoft Word or Microsoft WordPad and you can use either of them to modify the font size.

  • Word docs with bitmap drawings converted to grayscale

    I'm still using Acrobat/Distiller 5 on Windows 2000 Pro to prepare press ready PDFs of word 2000 docs with black & white line drawings (600 dpi bitmaps). I've always used the default "Press" job option file and simply printed to the distiller printer that is installed with Acrobat. Been doing this without any problems for years. I had some computer problems recently and had to change to a different machine. Now when I print, the resulting PDFs have those 600 dpi bitmaps converted to grayscale images. I've tried every setting I can think of to make it go away. Like I said, I've never had to change anything from the default job options file. I've tried printing the postscript to a file, then distilling, always the same. BTW, fonts look good. I know there is a solution because this same thing popped up 2 or 3 years ago and it got solved then, but I can't figure it out this time. Nothing has changed wth the docs, but a new install of Acrobat on different hardware, same OS. Help please -deadline looming.
    Thanks, Dave

    To all those having trouble converting documents to pdfs, I did some research and found a work around.
    Go to File and choose Save & Send. Then choose Create PDF/XPS document. Click the Create button. PDF is generated.

  • Converting MS Word docs with coloured bacgrounds to pdf

    Forgive an Acrobat 'dope' but this outwardly appears to be a simple problem ....... that I can't figure out!
    For work I am using Microsoft Office Word 2003 (MS Office Pro 2003) and Acrobat 8 Pro.  I have no problem converting an MS Word doc, with background or foreground images and text, into a pdf.  However, if I give any MS Word doc a coloured background, using the Format Menu > Background > and then selecting a colour, that colour is not carried across in the conversion to pdf - I end up with a standard white page, instead of the coloured one!
    Where am I going wrong?  Or is this coloured background something that Acrobat won't convert, whatever I do?  I don't wish to produce a 'pseudo' effect by placing a coloured image behind the text (which I know will work) because the pdf file sizes become larger than I want.  I want to 'colour the paper' using MS Word's menu, and convert to a pdf with that same 'coloured paper' being the result.  Is it possible?  If so, how?
    Thanks, in advance, for any help that may be available out there ......

    In WORD: TOOLS>Options>Print>Background Colors and Images (I already had background printing checked, but that refers to the printing process, not the background. Checking this other box does the trick. It is probably off by default to keep from using ink in regular printers.)

  • Converting Word (97-2003) docs with tables

    I have tried converting a few Word docs with tables using Acrobat.com. There is one small image in the upper right corner that in the converted doc stays in the same place so I know that is not the issue. What happens is that the converted document takes a nicely formatted document with tables and nested tables and turns it into a 4 page document and places all of the information in a larger table in the first column and looks nothing like the original with the exception of the header.
    I figured out that if I save the file to ODT that only the font gets changed (but this can be fix on my end by using a supported font). However, the person responsible for converting documents in the future after me neither has Acrobat pro or a way to save files in ODT format (they refuse to upgrade to Word 2007 for some reason so no ODT or Convert the PDF/XPS plug-in for them) so Acrobat.com is a sollution I was looking into to keep productivity going.
    If needed, I can send the original documents for anyone who would like to troubleshoot them and give feedback on what I could try so that they will work on Acrobat.com in ODT format.

    Thank you for your post. Would you please send along some sample files to us? Please reference this forum post, and I'll pass the files along to our QA folks for testing. Hopefully we'll be able to resolve the issue shortly! One more thought - you might try either creating your original document in Buzzword, then converting to PDF OR importing the word file to Buzzword, making any edits, and then converting to PDF. Could help. Let us know!

  • Unable to embedded xls files word doc with acrobat distiller 6

    Hi,
    I have a problem to convert a Microsoft Word docs with embedded excel(*.xls) to PDF using Adobe Distiller 6. The excel file will become an image file after conversion.
    Please advise on what went wrong or is this a limititaion of Adobe Distiller 6.
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Haikal

    I suspect that what you are asking as nothing to do with Acrobat. For what you are doing, there is no need to use PDF Maker (unless you are looking for links or such). You do not have to use Distiller (unless you are taking about the Acrobat Distiller printer with AA5 and earlier), but simply print to the Adobe PDF printer (that automates the use of Distiller). In fact, Distiller can not handle DOC files, so I suspect you are using AA5. However, the end result will be based on whatever WORD sends to the printer, not how Acrobat converts it. If text is sent, then Acrobat will convert it accordingly. Sounds like WORD is sending the Excel file as a graphic. It may just be that is how WORD handles that OLE aspect of the embedding.
    I am no expert on WORD (I use another package), but I really doubt that Acrobat is at fault. I would look at what WORD is doing. One way to do this is to print to a PS file (you can do this with the Adobe PDF printer using print-to-file. Open the PS file and you should find a graphic structure in the PS that represents the Excel file.

  • Hi, does anyone know if the brand new Microsoft Word for iPad works with right-to-left languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic? Thanks

    Hi, just got the Microsoft Word app on my iPad mini, great app in my opinion- just would like to know if anyone has a way to switch into right to left orientation just like Pages now has.
    So far the only way I could get this to work was by emailing myself a Hebrew document, erasing it all, and writing the new document in its place, which actually really worked, with true formatting and all. Thing is, I wouldn't sign myself up for 10 bucks a month for a half-baked workaround which Pages does perfectly. Otherwise, Word is awesome.
    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

    I wonder if that means that the iPad Word is a port of the Windows Word with some formqtting options disabled. Just wondering.
    I think iPad Word is closer to Mac Word than Win Word.  Mac Word, for 13 years now, has been unable to create connected Arabic text, except on a Win Word doc with some Arabic already there.   I've never seen an explanation for this, but suspect it has something to do with Windows ability to embed fonts in such docs.  In any case, this work around still has enough bugs that I don't think it has ever been widely used.

  • I cannot send a Pages document, Word format via email from my ipad if it has a picture in the the doc.  I can send a Word doc if it does not have a pic in it or pdf with a pic.  Any thoughs why a word doc with a pic in it won't email in Pages?  thanks

    I cannot send a Pages document, Word via email if the doc contains a picture.  If I email a Pages doc without a pic in Word format or pdf with a pic it with go through to sender?  Not sure why Pages won't send Word doc with a picture in it.  I check the security on the email recipient and the email doesn't get blocked or throw in the junk box?

    If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion, Save As… has returned to the File menu when you hold down the Option/alt key. But you don't really "save" as other file types, you translate & export as Word or RTF or text or PDF & that is easily done by going to File > Export or Share > Export.
    Also, please do us all a favor & don't use all capitals in your posts, either the body of the post or the title. All caps is the internet equivalent of shouting & is very hard to read.

  • How can I use Automator to open and save Word docs with links?

    Hi-
    I'm having trouble building a Workflow to open and save Word docs with links.
    My Workflow so far:
    1. Get Finder items
    2. Copy Finder items (to new folder)
    3. Rename selected items
    4. Open selected items (Word docs)
    Three problems occur.
    The first is a Word 2004 problem -- I can't get the warning "This document has links in it; do you want to open it with/without updating the links" to go away (Unilke the Macro warning toggle capability, there is nothing in the Preferences for Word 2004 that addresses the links warning, as far as I can tell; any insight you can shed on this would be terrific.)
    The second problem happens with Automator: if I manually accept the update of the first document's links, Automator opens that document but then halts completely, even though I've instructed it to open multiple documents.
    The third problem I have is that there's no Finder action in Automator that allows me to save the document that's now open (as far as I can see).
    Any suggestions for how to fix? If I can get this to work, and scheduled in iCal, it will be an unbelievable time saver.
    Thanks,

    Hi there Jeremy,
    to do this you are going to have to add in some Run AppleScript steps...
    These will rely on GUI Scripting. So first you need to activate GUI Scripting.
    Now we need to add in a Run AppleScript action to the end of your workflow...
    This will replace your current number 4 in the workflow (Open Selected...)
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">on run {input, parameters}
    set allItems to every item of input
    repeat with currItem in allItems
    tell application "TextWrangler"
    open currItem
    end tell
    activate application "TextWrangler"
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "TextWrangler"
    delay 2
    --when the Word document is opened I have told it to press okay !
    --I don't know what key you want it to press in the dialog box
    keystroke return
    delay 2
    --save the doc
    keystroke "s" using command down
    delay 5
    --close the doc
    keystroke "w" using command down
    end tell
    end tell
    end repeat
    return input
    end run</pre>
    The above script should open each Word Document, press a button in the dialog box then do a save and then close the doc...then loop through the rest of them.
    You need to replace the name Text Wrangler with Microsoft Word (or whatever it is called!), I don't have it on my Mac.
    You will have to let me know what button needs pressing in the first dialog, if it isn't the 'highlighted ' one then we will have to amend the script...
    regards
    Ric

  • I created a pdf form from a Word doc with 9 pt aerial font formatting; the text on the pdf form is aerial 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - How do I reformat the font in the fields??

    I created a pdf form from a Word doc with 9 pt aerial font formatting; the text on the pdf form is aerial 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - How do I reformat the font in the fields??

    You can set up a temporary button (or link, bookmark, etc.) and add the following JavaScript action:
    // Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)
    // Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document
    for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {
        var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
        if (f.type === "text") {
            f.textFont = font.Helv;
            f.textSize = 9;
    It also sets the font size, but you can remove that line if you don't need to do that.
