Only symbols when converting

When converting, all my text is converted into symbols and not in text. I tried to switch the text recognition off, but conversion still did not work. Please advise

Hi f1984,
Let's see what we can figure out. Disabling OCR often does the trick, so I'm sorry that it did not in your case.
I'll need a bit more information about what's going on, before we can get to the bottom of the problem.
Does this issue occur with a specific file only?
How was the PDF created (you can tell by choosing File > Properties in Adobe Reader.)
What OS/browser are you using? Try a different browser, or clearing the browser cache)
Are you converting from within Adobe Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website?
Please get back to me with those details, and we will take it from there.
Best,
Sara

N95 wont write text in letters only symbols when u...

my n95 stopped writing in text only symbols ie on pressing "a" on key pad i get a open bracket and so on through alphabet differing symbol for each letter. also on keying in a phone number the same thing happens . this problem started last night on getting up this morn on switching phone alarm off it went back to normal able to text in letters then half way through morn reverted to only typing symbols. had this phone 3 years never had this problem before. also went on nokia site and re installed fimware this did not help . think i might be missing somethig here any ideas thanks brian
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If a firmware update didn't help you then it's quite possible that the hardware needs to be inspected. Better take it to a Nokia Care Point. The keypad might need servicing. 3 years of continuous use will mean a lot of dust under the keys.

No audio channels (only video) when converting/exporting media formats

Hi,
Last year i bought a license for quicktime 7 but i still have problems when converting.
Als with the new iTunes7 the problem still relies.
When i am converting a mpeg file to the m4v in iTunes the problem is the same.
It doens't matter which media format i get, but after the conversion is done... there are no audio channels!
When u look at the movie info option in the quicktime menu, you can see an video channel, but no audio. the orginal files do get video and audio channels...
about 6 months ago i contacted apple support for this, but the problem still relies..
Does anybody know a fix or maybe Apple can investigate this important bug!! In the past i have used Videora iPod coverter that does the job correct and muchhh faster, but i want quicktime to do that!!!
Regards,
Rick Beemsterboer

Quicktime has never exported the sound from muxed mpeg-1 or -2 files: QT Mpeg Limitations
You can run a separate demuxer to get the audio stream out or just use this freeware that exports both video and audio from mpegs to other formats: Mpeg StreamClip

I'm having trouble converting my RAW files to jpegs. Even though my RAW files are 90MB plus, the jpegs when converted are only around 6MB. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, A

Dear Forum,
I realise this isn’t necessarily your problem, buy I’m having trouble converting my RAW files to jpegs.
Even though my RAW files are 90MB plus, the jpegs when converted are only around 6MB.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
A

HHi Barbara, thanks for replying to my post.
No there's nothing wrong with the Jpegs, but I want to srart uploading images for sale in Alamy, but they say they must be a minimum of 17mb un compressed. Does that mean that at 6mb compressed from 90mb they'd be acceptable?
thanks,

When I use my keyboard only symbols appear in any program

When I use my keyboard only symbols appear and this is in any program. It's only one year old.

It's possible that one or more of the modifier keys on your keyboard is stuck, or that you have an incorrect keyboard selected in your preferences. Let's try a few things.
If you open System Preferences (under the Apple menu) and select Language & Text (I am assuming you are using OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, by the way) then select the Input Sources tab make sure the Keyboard & Character Viewer checkbox is checked on the left. Once it is you will have an icon in your menu bar that looks like a square with a bunch of dots and a star in it. From that menu select Show Keyboard Viewer. This will show on your screen the keyboard you are using. Do any of the modifier keys (shift, command, option, etc) show up dark as if they are depressed?
This will also show the name of the keyboard you are using (at the top of the virtual keyboard) What is it?
Let us know what happens, we will keep working on it.
Best of luck.

HT1476 My ipod touch only charges when im not using it, when i use it, it doesnt bring up the charging symbol

My ipod touch only charges when its not in use and doesn't come up with the charging symbol. Please help cheers

First try another charging source. Maybe the source yo are using is not putting out enough pwere when the screen is on.
Next try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Why are hyperlinks no longer working in PDF, when converted from Word?

I have Acrobat Professional 11 and have recently upgraded my PC with a new operating system (Windows 8). I can't remember how to find out what version of Word I now have, but it should be a fairly recent version, given its new. Since the upgrade, when converting Word documents to PDF using the "Create Form" function in Adobe Pro 11, only full hyperlinks (with the @ symbol) are working in PDF, not other hyperlinks that we've renamed. Under the old operating system, ALL hyperlinks used to transfer & work when converted ... am I missing a checkbox somewhere?? HELP please, I have loads of word documents to convert and it's very time-consuming to have to do weblinks manually!!

First off, Word should show you the version on a splash screen when you launch it.
Also, what happens to the links if you just open the document in Word and save it as a PDF?

I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play.

I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play. I thought iTunes allowed me to transfer music to my iPhone and play it. What am I doing wrong?

Hi skoorb1,
When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

How to maintain original lines when converting a word file in a PDF

Unfortunately the table lines often change when converting a word file in a PDF, e.g. dotted/broken lines into straight lines or different kinds of broken lines. How can I maintain the original lines when converting the documents?
Many thanks in advance for your advice.
Li Li

Hello,
Ok, this is the background.
I’m a publisher. Any document to end user will go as pdf. And off course it preserves the word appearance. We ship our manuals only in pdf. At this point my end users have to copy the “CODES” into his editor to run the product. So when doing it, the “Codes” copied from pdf to his editor loses its format. Editor need not be the actual one; you can also test in a notepad.
P.S: You can find the difference by copying the code from word to notepad and pdf to notepad
Hope you now understood the purpose what I’m looking at for.

How to preserve original size when converting to PDF in Preview.

I'm using Preview in Snow Leopard.
Trying to create multipage PDFs from document scans.
I'm finding that when the scanned image (tiff, png, jpg) is converted to PDF in Preview the size reduces.
Selecting 'View actual size' shows the image with sometimes drastically impaired quality.
This does not always happen. I have some images that stay the same size and quality.
What factors cause this reduction in size in some images but not in others?
I'm not sure but this could be only images that have been scanned by me. If so, what do I need to do to prevent the problem?
These are not large images, just standard size pages.
I have all the preferences to view at 100%
This is not for printing, only for viewing on-screen.

Please!!
I'm not silly...
As I said, selecting View actual size shows the image with sometimes drastically impaired quality (regardless of the window size).
I also said I have preferences set to view at 100%
It now seems as if this is only happening with scans I've made here.
Images downloaded from the internet are converting indentically, no problem. But my scans are being resized when converting.
I wonder if anyone with a bit of technical know-how can give me some clues as to why this is happening. It would seem to be something to do with the file itself.
(There was another post on here with the same problem but for some reason its been 'archived' though the last posting was this month and the query was not answered. So I've posted the question again.)

Links breaking when converting from word docs to PDFs in Acrobat X Pro

I have experienced this same problem when trying to convert word documents to PDFs in Preview:
For hyperlinks that are active in MS Word (2011 version for Mac), but take up more than one line (they include a line break), the same links in the converted PDFs will only recognize the first line of text in the hyperlink (the hyperlinks in the docs I need to convert are the full URLs that are also hyperlinks to the same URL). As a result these links open a URL that is shortened and doesn't exist.
Is this a common problem, and is there a way have the full links be recognized automatically when converting to PDFs?
I have been able to get around this so far by creating the "invisible rectangle" links in Acrobat behind where the full link should be, but it is painstaking for large docs with many links.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Tim

Afraid not
This is an Old Problem that has been banted about since Acrobat has existed. We have two companies that are blaming each other for the Problem Adobe and Microsoft. Instead of Blaming each other Adobe needs to get their head out of their back side and fix the problem. I mean 15 years is enough to do blaming.
You can take the same PDF's with links created Mac Office Document and open in Office for PC and create the PDF and it works in Acrobat. Or you can create the PDF in MacOffice and open in Acrobat PC and it works. So the problem is squarely with Acrobat. But they refuse to fix it.
You might download and try PDFPen Pro and see if can create working Links in it. or a Utility called CUPS-PDF. CUPS-PDF installs a Print Driver Much Like Acrobat Use to.
You go to it to create the PDF. It is sent to a special folder. and the PDF are named with number appended to begining (example: Job_1TheMoon.docx.pdf). Rename as desired and open may have links.

In Smartform Bullet symbol is converted into # .

Hi All,
When I Printing the Smartform Bullet symbol is converted into # but remaining synbols , . & are printing correctly.
Can u give any one to solutions for this one.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Which device type do you use to print? Usually the # character printed means the device type codepage doesn't support this character. What is the result when you print via Windows cascading fonts device type SWINCF?

Embedded objects when converting a word document

Hello ng,
a word document contains other documents as embedded objects shown as a symbol. When converting this document with Acrobat Standard or Professional the symbols are converted as non functional picture. So the embeddes document can't be opened.
So here's my question: Is it possible to convert embedded objects shown as symbol to functional embedded object within PDF?
Example is shown below.
Many thanks!
Susanne

It cannot be done. For all intents remember that creating the pdf is akin to printing the document out. If you were to print document to your printer, you would not expect to be able to click on the paper to launch the object. Now it is true that one can have things like hyperlinks preserved, but specialized coding was created for this functionality and is not available in all applications nor on all platforms. However, your wish is a reasonable feature request. I suggest you might ask here:

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

Page Size When Converting TIFF to PDF

In my work I download documents from a website where you can only view and save them as TIFF images. The documents are scanned images of typewritten instruments filed with the county clerk. When saved as TIFFs, the documents are of varying sizes. After I save them as TIFF files, I convert to pdf using select (often multiple files at once), then right click "Convert to Adobe PDF." The files convert to pdf without a problem, except they are of many different page sizes, depending upon the size of the TIFF file.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Standard (Windows 7 on a PC). Is there a way to set it up so when I convert from TIFF to pdf, it will come out as a standard page size, such as legal 8.5x14? I know that I can convert, then print using the Adobe PDF printer, but that just adds another step.
Would the answer be different if I were using Acrobat X Pro or Acrobat XI? Thanks.

TIFF files contain a page size, and when converted to PDFs, the page size from the TIFF is used.
So you need to fix it in the TIFF before conversion or the PDF after conversion. I think the TIFF will probably be a better, easier and cheaper place to fix it.
