Multiple signautures on a word document.

Hi guys,
So I have a document with multiple signature lines at the bottom. The document is being shared on the company intranet. The issue is sometimes we can get more than one signature and others we can't. It seem very hit and miss.
Also another issue is with regards to editing. I have restricted editing to the whole document so no changes can be made other than a signature. Despite this when testing, if I try to edit I receive the alert "editing will remove signatures"...if
I choose to "edit anyway" the signatures are removed despite actually not being able to change anything.
Any ideas on a workaround?
Thanks in advanced

What've the version of Word you initially create the documents? And what's the version of Word you are currently using? Try to run Word.exe in safe mode to check if the issue still persists.
Winword.exe /safe
Or
Winword.exe /a
To disable the suspeious add-ins if the issue would be gone after we startup command line switches to start Word.

If you are using Word 2010 and the document is created by Word 2007 or earlier version, the following hotfix may fix that.

  • Converting a document with multiple links to a word document

    I am trying to convert a PDF file with multiple links to a word document.  When the conversion is complete and the document is saved as a word document I cannot access the links - I keep getting error messages or messages that say a program is not associated with the link.

    Hi laytonbarb,
    We would like to help!
    Are they hyperlinks? If so - you will want to insert the links back in. If they are full links do they match the links on the pdf?
    Looking forward to hearing back from you!

  • Inserting Multiple Page PDF in Word Document

    I've been searching for an answer to what I thing ought to be a rather simple question and I can find nothing. I have a couple of users who have attempted to insert a multiple page PDF into a Word document and found that only the first page of the PDF
    shows up in their document. Is there any method to insert multiple page PDFs into Word as multiple pages without splitting the PDF into individual single page files and inserting individually?
    Thanks...Ray

    A quick and dirty way to do this is to open the pdf document in question with word separately.   You get the following warning message.
    I can then select all and copy/paste in to my word document.
    The few pdfs I tried this with pretty much turned in to all images when I did this, but it worked my purposes.
    I did end up having to resize one that didn't seem to want to fit when I pasted it in.  There may be a method to select an image and automatically fit it within the margins of the page it is on that would help that.
    The file size on my resulting word document seemed to grow quite a bit as well.  Again, not really an issue in my case though.

  • How do I change a PDF to a word document?

    How do i change aa PDF to a word document?

    In Mac preferred method (because it uses Adobe's PDF engine):
    Save file as word Document (for Backup)
    Go to Print Menu
    Click and hold on PDF button until context menu appears
    Choose Adobe PDF
    Wait for menu to change - choose quality (this eqivelent to job options in Distiller) and turn off open with Reader (or Acrobat)
    Then click okay to go to nex window item
    Either use Title assigned or change (I usually remove references to Microsoft Word-, and .docx so it just shows as for example Joes.pdf),
    Browse (pick out) to desired save Location.
    Click Save.
    Go to location saved and open.
    Notes: Expect to multiple PDF if the Word document page have switches in Page orientations.
    URL links won't cme over with this method.
    To have Urls to be active (except those created with the Format menu > URL)
    Do the following:
    Locate the Word Document
    Locate the acrobat Icon on the Dock (similar to Start up menu on PC)
    Drag the word document to the icon of Acrobat on Dock and Drop
    Wait ........... You might have enough time to boil you a pot of coffee
    When PDF pops up on screen save at once!
    You will now have a document that will have live MailTo's and URL's except for those created with the URL wizard ( select desired word> go to Formtat menu > URL >when opens type desired URL or Mailto)
    This is a 15 year old bug Adobe refuses to fix. Don't bleive the blather the put out bout the proper hook in Mac Version That's been proven as false years ago.

  • Word document with multiple sections generates multiple pdf?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm a new and happy Mac user, but not fully able to use this. I hope you can help.
    I have a Word document, with multiple sections that I want to convert into pdf. When I used to do this with the PC, I didn't have problems. I used to use Click to Convert and I normally used to get one single pdf file.
    Now, using the pdf button wit the Mac, I get separate pdf files, one for each section. Is there a way that I can create a single pdf, with all the sections in order? If not, how can I merge the pdf in one single pdf file?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Convert a word document to multiple PDF documents

    Hello
    I would like to convert a word document to multiple PDF documents. (i.e. convert 20 page word document into 20 single page PDF's). Is it possible to do this easliy and quickly.
    I have used word mail merge to create multiple cover letters in word
    I would now like to convert each cover letter (which is 1 page each) into individialized PDF's so that I can email them out as attachments
    I currently have been copying and pasting from my master word document into a fresh word document (one page at a time) then, saving, then converting to PDF one cover letter at a time. Although this works it is time consuming and I figured there may be an easier quicker way to do this
    Any thoughts, suggesstions, would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    It is possible to convert the word document into a PDF then while the PDF is open do:
    Document
    Extract Pages
    1-20
    Check "Extract pages as seperate files"
    This will give you 20 seperate files.
    Hope it helps!

  • Place multiple columns (from a word doc) in a document?

    Hello,
    I am trying to place a word document with three columns of text in an indesign document. I tried changing the settings to "three columns" but that didn't help, the document shows up as one long column that of course runs off the bottom of the page.
    What setting am I missing?
    Cheers,
    James

    Placing heavily formatted Word docs is always an issue. InDesign treats the text as a continuous string.
    >the document shows up as one long column that of course runs off the bottom of the page.
    Could you explain this a little more? Are you saying that InDesign is creating a frame that runs off the page, or that you get a single column with only some of the text and a red plus sign in the out port?
    I suspect the latter. There are a number of ways to place text, and options for how to do columns, too. If you've set up the document with three column guides you can flow continuous text into three frames inside the columns. Hold the shift key while you click the loaded place cursor to autoflow all of the text from column to column, adding pages until all of the text is on a page.
    If you selected use master text frame when you set up the document, or put frames on the page before issuing the place command, you'll see the loaded cursor change from a square corner to parentheses when you are over the frame and the text will flow into that frame, filling from the top. If there is no existing frame, InDesign will create one on the fly that fits the guide width and runs to the bottom margin guide, but the top of the frame will be where you click. Subsequent frames when you use autoflow will start at the top margin.
    As Scott said, you can also set a text frame to hold multiple columns, if you prefer. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. Balancing columns is easier when they are in a single frame because you can adjust the frame size to affect all the columns at once.

  • Importing Multiple Word Documents into RH

    I know that RH allows users to import word documents, however
    I was wondering if there was a way to import multiple word
    documents (ala batch style import) instead of importing each
    document one at a time.

    Colum has good advice. Also, since you're new to this, there
    are a few curiosities that occur that can be puzzling to newcomers.
    If you have graphics in your Word docs (screenshots, etc.) a new
    folder will automatically be created. So if the name of your Word
    doc is MYDOC.DOC, graphics will be placed in a new folder called
    MYDOC_Files.
    Another "hitchhiker" to the process is the creation of a CSS
    file automatically created for each Word doc. After the import you
    have the choice to reassign any style sheet you like, regardless of
    the CSS originally linked.
    Another tip if you're new to importing, go to Peter Grainge's
    excellent site.
    http://www.grainge.org/
    Follow the links: RoboHelp > Importing from Word for some
    excellent ideas.

  • Concatenate multiple word documents into 1 long document in APEX

    I have a requirement to concatenate multiple word documents into 1 long document in APEX but I'm not sure if it can be done
    or where to begin.
    I've been able to upload/download files in APEX and generate Word docs using BI Publisher, but I can't seem to find anyway to carryout the above.
    Any feedback greatly received.
    Thanks in advance.
    Keith

    Thanks for your reply Jari.
    The files are never actually stored in the database as a BLOB or CLOB.
    I'm basically trying to do the following:-
    I have a third party Document Management System that stores a number of templates (.doc and .dot).
    The files are stored in a directory on a file sever.
    I have been tasked with the job of creating a Document Generator type app in APEX that will allow the users to select a number of these files and concatenate them together into 1 large 'Master' Document.
    I was hoping to be able to do this without having to go down the line of using external software functions like Java but I'll check out your suggestion.
    Cheers

  • Convert 1 single microsoft word document with section breaks to multiple pdf files

    I am a windows 7 users. I have a single microsoft word document which contain 1500 pages. These 1500 pages are seperated by sections breaks in the microsoft word. I am trying to convert this word document to multiple pdf files seperated by the section breaks in the Microsoft word. How can I convert the single microsoft word document with section breaks to multiple seperate pdf files?

    Acrobat (Adobe PDF Printer and PDFMaker ) doesn't recognize the Section breaks.  It never has as far as I am aware.  The easiest thing to do is to manually break up a copy of the MS Word Document into the Sections you need and then create the PDFs from those MS Word documents.

  • If possible, How do I copy multiple PDF pages to a word document?

    I know how to take a snapshot of one PDF page at a time and copy to a word document; however, I do not know how to copy multiple PDF pages at once. Is it even possible? I would love to know if anyone has any information pertaining to my question!
    Thanks,
    Suns2006

    If it messed up the formatting, you will not be able to do more with Acrobat. Some third party products supposedly do pretty well, but that conversion may cost you as much as Acrobat.

  • Multiple Portal Authentication when closing Word document

    Hi all,
    We are on EP6 SP2 Patch4 HF7 and CM HF6.  When closing a MS Word document accessed from the KM Repository multiple Portal authentication popups appear.  This only happens to Word documents.  Other documents like Excel, Powerpoint, pdf etc. close without any popups.
    The problem only happens when going through the IISProxy filter.
    Does anybody have any ideas ?

  • Can I covert multiple Word Documents into a single PDF using Acrobat Pro

    I'm using Acrobat Pro X version 10.1.10...I'm trying to select multiple Word Document files  (Mac Version 14.4.3) but when choosing the files, Word Documents I cannot select them as a convertible file format. If I drag them into the conversion box it says they are not a recognised file format....any ideas?

    Can you open any WORD file in Acrobat? If not, it is likely a limitation of Acrobat on the MAC. On the PC, you can simply use the Combine option in the file menu to create a new PDF. The conversion of the WORD document uses the PDF Maker option installed in WORD that must work, but this is the same process as opening a DOC or DOCX file directly in Acrobat. There are limitation with the compatibility of various versions of OFFICE and Acrobat that could be another issue you are having, but I don't know the combinations for a MAC. This only gives you some thoughts to consider. Some of the MAC users may be by later to give further thoughts.
    The alternative is to create a PDF for each of the WORD files and then use the combine feature to combine the PDFs.

  • How to merge multiple XML or Text documents into 1 Word Document?

    Hi all,
    We're looking for a way to merge multiple XML or Text documents into 1 Word document.
    All the XML or Text documents are oriented as a 'Paragraph', meaning smaller pieces of text.
    By selecting some of these XML documents, the system should be able to create a new Word document with all the selected text paragraphs included.
    The Word document can then be edited for applying a correct lay-out and the document is ready.
    Actually, we are trying to do some kind of 'mail merge' but with multiple XML or Text documents!
    Has anybody an idea whether something exist already or give us a direction how to proceed?
