My Word docs are NOT saving as PDF files.

I go to "File, Print, PDF, Save as PDF, save doc to my desktop, click Save"...it "processes" then chimes alerting me it's completed, but the PDF is NO WHERE on my desktop (or anywhere on my laptop for that matter!!)
The interesting thing about this problem ONLY happens when I CREATE that particular Word document. If someone emails me a Word doc and I download it and then open it up in Word, I am then ABLE to save it as a PDF. Soo, I tried emailing the file I created to myself...downloaded it, and tried to save as a PDF, same thing happens as before....no where to be found.
Helpppp. I am SO frustrated. THANKS

Okay - could be a bad file or a document with a goofy format, size, or table of contents snafu.
I had issues with Acrobat 9.x with Word 2010 (Windows). I stopped using Acrobat and just started doing what you're doing - saving direct from Word > PDF - and haven't had an issue since (other than bloated file sizes even saving as "minimum").
So my advice is to look at your document. It could be a TOC thing, or a large image, or something else messing up the engine.
Remember, Office 2007, 2010, and 2011 all save DOCX as XML files. So the "converter" (save-as-PDF) is rendering XML > PDF.

How do I convert a read only word doc to a read only pdf file?

How do I convert a read only word doc to a read only pdf file?
Thanks, Linda

Hi Linda,
I just tried it, and was able to convert a Word .doc to to PDF, in spite of the fact that it was marked Read Only. Here are the instructions for uploading and converting to PDF with Acrobat.com:

My 2009 macbook microsoft word documents are not being accepted as files.

My 2009 Macbook seems to be falling behind. Using Mac OS X (Version 10.6.8) and Microsoft Word for Mac 2008 (version 12.3.6).
For some reason, my files do not work online. They are "invalid." For example, "invalid file type" popped up on my school online dropbox and my online grad school application. My files are, however, in the correct (doc, docx, pdf) file types. I had to go on campus and use a PC to upload assignments and applications.
Not sure if it's my software or old word version.
Anywho, I just need some answers!

Regardless of what system you are on (Windows/Mac), a filename extension is required when transferring files online. This was noted in the error message of your initial post:
No File Extension For This File **File Name**
Make sure this file has the correct extension.
You would have had the same problem on Windows if you neglected a filename extension.
It might be a bit more likely to accidentally save a file without an extension on Mac because Mac has been able in the past to work without filename extensions. This is changing. Everyone should be using filename extensions if they expect to effectively share files.

Hyperlinks from converted excel file are not working after pdf file is moved

I have created a pdf file from an excel file that has hyperlinks in it. The hyperlinks work fine if the files are all kept in the same exact location as the time they were created. Once the files are moved (i.e. emailed to another user) the hyperlinks no longer work. An error message pops up that the file can not be found. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing in acrobat that allows for the files to be moved, so that the hyperlinks still function properly, after creation

No settings adjustments.
The issue is that links, once made, have a specific path (as shown when you view the link's text string).
When you email the files the person who recieves the email and downloads the attachments would have to have the same layout of files/folders you have.
Without that links are "broken"
You email a zip file that, when extracted, would create the folders/files in the required layout to reflect what you have.
Be well...

PPT action buttons are not present in pdf file upon conversion

Hi
Am using Office 2003 (SP3) and Acrobat 8 (version 8.1.6).
Have been using action buttons in the presentations for several years, works fine.
When converting existing files, action buttons in both PPT show and pdf file just works, no problems.
Newly generated presentations work fine as PPT show. But when converted to pdf file, the action buttons are simply missing.
Have verified that all action buttons are "at front", same result.
Have tried to avoid corporate templates by creating a blank presentation and building a small and simple navigating presentation. Again, works fine as PPT show. And again, upon conversion there are no action buttons present in the pdf file.Corporate changes thereby should be ruled out.
Have checked all settings (including "Adobe PDF, Change Conversion Settings") between a working and a non-working PPT file, can't identify any differences.
A colleague helped out (using Acrobat 6), same result. But upon activation of "Adobe PDF, Change Conversion Settings, Restore Defaults", the action buttons worked for him. Tried it with Adobe 8, no such luck.
Have trialed the "Prep 4 PDF" tool, then the PDF file is complete and the "go to slide" keys appear and work again.
All new updates available are installed, anyone experienced the same and found a fix for this trouble?

Have tried both ways, same result.
When working with new presentations, the pdf file is viewable, but the action buttons are not present.
When working with past presentations, the action buttons are present and do work as expected.

How come my scans are being saved as pdf files, I want them saved as JPEG or JPG

I am a member of ancestry.com and need to upload my photos into my ancestry program, however, when I scan a photo, it automatically is generated as a PDF and I cannot upload it. Can you tell me what to do to get my scanned docs to save as a JPG file?

Documents are not saving as PDFs

My hard drive crashed a couple of weeks ago. I replaced the hard drive and was able to save the majority of my data. However, when I re-installed the Adobe Reader, I have to access any PDFs online. I can save a document as a PDF and it will tell me it is, but when I go back to look it up on my computer, it is not a PDF - only a FireFox link. I do not want to have to get online every time to access my PDFs since I am limited on internet usage. How can I permanently save a document and have it read as a PDF without going online to read it?
I appreciate any help!
Terri

The document when saved says it is saved as a PDF but it does not give you that option when I am wanting to save it from the FireFox link to PDF and still pulls up as a FireFox document. When the document is printed, Adobe Reader is not reading it and it does not print into a PDF, which comes out off-centered or missing information.

Changes are not saved in Exported file

I am using the trial version of Lightroom 5. When I do a Lens Correction and then export the file, the new file is the same as the original before my corrections when I open it in Photoshop or another program. Help!

Lr & Photoshop both have the potential to use tiny (xmp) files for storing changes (and never save any other files), and both can save/export big honkin' tiffs, or like-sized jpegs...
If you save files in Photoshop with layers and such stuff, the files can get pretty big.
So, to answer your question: "It depends..." - which files, how saved/exported...
Try some stuff and inspect the file sizes!

Hi olivias,
It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

Solid color text boxes in MS Word are not importing to pdf

Solid color text boxes in MS Word are not importing to pdf ... text boxes with pics import and convert fine. Using Word 2013. Any ideas?
I'm brand new to the forums, so sorry if I'm not asking correctly or asking something already covered.

Hi Sara!
Thanks for the response.
I'm uploading a Word file to my Adobe PDF Packet Annual subscription. I'm running Windows 8.0. Normally I will create a document in MS Word 2013, save it into our dropbox and then when I need to send it to someone (printer in this case) I will log onto Adobe PDF and upload the file to convert. Once it's converted, I'll send the pdf to the client or printer. In this case I created a poster with our logo (in a text box), text, a star (in a text box) and a few solid colored rectangles. Everything converted beautifully - as usual - except the solid text boxes.
I've used Adobe PDF Packet for a few years and have never seen this. Any ideas or other questions?
thanks, Dave

Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save.

I am using Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and I was using Adobe Reader version 9. In the past, I've always been able to print to file using the File -> Print dialogue but all of a sudden it stopped working. I read somewhere that installing the latest version of Adobe Reader (version 11) would remove the old printer, so I did so. It took me about an hour on version 11 to even find the pdf print to file option, but I am getting the same message. For what it's worth, when I try print to file from Microsoft Word, I have no problem. I have no idea why things changed all of a sudden, but does anyone have any idea how I can get this working again?

I checked with Adobe. No luck.
Allow me to clarify my problem:
I have Adobe Reader XI. I also use a Mac--imac and a MacBook Pro. My adobe was updated on 12/24. Prior to that point, I could open my print dialogue box and there was a PDF tab on the bottom left. In the drop down menu there were many choices, including but not limited to Open in PDF Preview, Print PDF, Save PDF, email PDF. If I selected one page of 30 pages from a document saved in Adobe, I could extract just that one page and save it or email it, without having to send the entire document. After the update, when I open a PDF file using ADOBE READER XI, and then open the print dialogue box, and follow those same steps, I get the message "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save." My question is why is this feature now unavailable and is there a way to fix it?
The answer I got from Adobe was that Adobe never had this function, so it must have been via my print or preview programs..which are apple. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thank you.

Finding words that are not there

Hi
I am using Oracle Text with ORACLE 9.0.1.1.1 running on Windows 2000. I have a table with a BLOB field which contains a variety of Word and PDF documents.
I can build the index fine and also sync it after DML and all is well.
The problem is that I can search for words that I know are not in the document and I get a document back. When I open it and search I cannot find the word I searched for.
I used the following syntax for building and searching
create index docs_ctx
on document_data (data)
indextype is ctxsys.context
select
lib.id,
lib.file_name
from
document_data dat,
document_library lib
where
lib.id = dat.doc_id and
contains(dat.data,'karen',1) > 0
Which returns
id file_name
366867 finland.pdf
147318 CV170596.DOC
The word is in the pdf but not in the DOC file. I have even loaded the DOC file into an editor and searched the none visible parts of the document and not found the word.
Anyone got an idea what I am doing wrong.

Your database is telling you that in CV170596.DOC is the word 'karen', but you are saying it isn't. The database itself is not indexing the file CV170596.DOC, it is indexing the result of ctxhx CV170596.DOC (INSO filter).
There are 2 possiblities:
1. The word karen is in that result file
-> bug in ctxhx ?
2. The word karen is NOT in that result file
-> maybe your index is corrupted
-> rebuild or call Oracle Support for help/investigation
