Page Break when converting to PDF

I have created my forms online and deleted a bit of content to reduce their size. I also adjusted the page breaks in pdf/print view mode. When I download the PDF, I find excess blank pages in the PDF and the page breaks I set are not where I put them. Any thoughts on how I can fix this without having to rebuild the online survey from scratch?

Hi,
It would be easier to help resolve this issue if I had access to your form design. You can share it with me in one of two ways:
1. Add me ([email protected]) as a collaborator. To do this follow steps 1 and 2 described in the following FAQ:
http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1424
2. Export the form and email the design template (.fcdt file) to me - [email protected]
Thanks,
Brian

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.

Adjust page boundary when converting eps to pdf

Hi, I have a problem with the page boundaries when converting eps files to pdf files. The resulting pdf page boundary is the bare minimum around the eps objects, leading to different page sizes when the pdf is viewed on screen. I would like all of my pdf objects to have the standard letter (8.5 by 11 inch) page boundary. Furthermore, when the pdf is printed the size of the objects is not to to the same scale as the eps file (which was created in adobe illustrator), and the orientation of the picture is often rotated to what is displayed on the eps or pdf file! Can anybody help me with this problem?

I opened Distiller from the regular programs menu. I have a job settings file selected that has a 8.5X11 size. I opened a 5.5X7.5 EPS file in Distiller and it creates a PDF with the image at the bottom of the 8.5X11 page. You can also simply open the PDF that you already have and print to a new PDF -- selecting expand to fit if desired.

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.

How to put a page break when a value changes

I want the g_item_no (repeating group) to have a page break each time LOCATION changes.

You can declare two variables, to hold the previous and current LOCATION values and break the page when it differs.
Or just before your end-for-each, have this code.
<?if:position()!=1 and position()!=last() and LOCATION!=following::LOCATION[1]?><xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute><?end if?>
Ensure that its placed in a form field.
This will have a page break when LOCATION changes.

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel?

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel? All info is no longer on the lines or in the columns they started out being in? Any help would be appreciated.

Sara,
Perhaps I am expecting too much from Adobe ExportPDF. The reason I subscribed to this service, for which I pay a yearly fee, was that I need a way to convert scanned and digital documents to Word &/or Excel. I read the link you included but to be candid the more I tried to understand what was written the more confused I got. The process should not be this difficult. Currently I am using a NEAT scanner to create PDF documents of whatever I scan. After I changed the OCR setting on Adobe ExportPDF the output was much better but not to the point it was usable as it was. Information that appears to be lines and columns are sometimes not recognizing two columns and just putting them together in one. Obviously not usable. The other thing it does is bunch numbers that appear in a column that are just a bunch of numbers that I have no way of fixing.
Please let me speak to someone who can help me. Right now I not getting anything of value in my paid subscription.

Page Size when converting .docx to pdf

I am having an issue converting .docx to pdf. I am using a custom page size in word 2007 and saving it, but when i convert to pdf it uses the default 8"/11" format. I have seen it done, but can't get it to work consistently. I am using acrobat 8 pro. Can anyone help?

What OS? Have you tried to make a custom page size for the Acrobat PDF printer drive?

How does Adobe Forms Central base their automated page breaks when distributing to a PDF form?

OR
How can I define those page breaks before Adobe Forms Central created the PDF. I have attempted to "insert" a page break within the form; however, when distributing this form to be created as a PDF, the PDF is still placing the auto-generated page break wherever it wants.
Is it possible to move these auto generated breaks once the PDF form is created?
Thank you!

Did you add the page breaks while in Web View or Page View? FormsCentral uses "web view" as the default, but uses the "page view" to show where the PDF will have page breaks. Go to the menu bar on the top right, select "view," and then select "page view." You should be able to see page breaks here, and move them where you'd like them. It won't affect what people see on the web, just in the PDF.

Page break problems converting HTML to PDF

hello,
i'm using Acrobat Pro 7... yes I know I'll upgrade soon.
I have a bunch of HTML files that are interlinked, and I want to create one big PDF from them.
I'm going in through Windows explorer, selecting all the files, right-click, and click on "combine in adobe acrobat"
it works very well, to combine them all.
the one problem I'm having is page breaks. there are page breaks in the middle of tables.
I have seen online a few references to using CSS style and something like this:
TABLE { PAGE-BREAK-INSIDE: avoid; }
but it seems to have no affect when I generate the PDF.
do I need a different tool to make this work? Does Acro 8 or 9 have it? should it work with 7?
thanks

This is primarily a HTML feature as I understand it. Acrobat simply provides a PDF just like any other printer and the HTML would have to be set to add page breaks on print as you suggest. This would be the same case as if you printed to paper. I am not sure it is possible, but that is what I would look for, not Acrobat options.

Problems retaining page size when converting MS WORD 2007 doc to PDF

I am having a problem converting Word documents that are not standard page size to a PDF. When I do the conversion, the PDF is resized to 8.5 x 11, even though the original WORD doc was 5.5 x 8.5
This happens even when I go into the Acrobat Preferences and change the default page size to 5.5 x 8.5.
The worst of it is, it does not happen with everyone who uses a particular computer here. It happens to some, but not to others.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks.

It's happening the same way on several different computers here.
Everyone logs in with their own userid on each machine. We are all working with the same MS WORD documents. These documents are non-standard sizes -- 6 x 9, or 5.5 x 8.5.
Everyone uses the same version of Acrobat Professional, and selects "Convert to PDF from file".
For some people, the PDF is created from the Word doc, and the original page size is retained. This is what we want.
However, for others, the PDF is created as 8.5 x 11, no matter what the original size of the document was. No amount of fiddling with the default page size, in either Acrobat or Word, changes this.
It is driving me crazy, and I was hoping that at least one other person on the planet has come across this problem. Is this an Adobe or a Microsoft problem? Could it be a Windows registry setting?
Advice is appreciated!

Inconsistant page sizes when converting from word to pdf

My word file has A4 sized pages and A3 sized pages.
When I convert them to PDF, the content on the A3 pages get cut off.
I want to keep the 2 different sized pages in my document.
How can I fix this?

To maintain links you have to use the PDFMaker plugin. I'm guessing it's
not available for your combination of Office and Acrobat, so you're out of
luck.

PDFMaker changes page orientation when printing to pdf

Hi all! I am praying for an answer. My job requires me to convert huge word documents to pdf using the pdfmaker add-in with acrobat Professional 8.1.3. My problem is as follows and has occured in two seperate documents. I have Microsoft word 2007 and run on a VIsta OS.
   So my problem is when I create a pdf from word acrobat for some odd reason changes any page's orientation that contain excel spreadsheets that have been inserted (I believe through copy and paste and they are not linked to excel). Thus I get a page with a landscape spreadsheet with a profile orientation and it cuts off the information for my client. By the way, it does the complete opposite of whatever orientation I choose.
   Here are some things I have tried: I tried saving document as a 97-2003 word file and create pdf from that version, I have changed the PDFmaker advanced settings for auto-rotate pages and tried all three options to no avail. I really need some help fast! I will love anyone who solves this problem for me.
Thanks,
       Jason.

GREAT NEWS!!! I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
Okay so after a lot of frustration and mountain dew I have figured this out, but first the problem is simpler then I listed it. So here is the actual problem:
I had a document with multiple sections and one section was oriented landscape while the rest were profile. When printing to PDF the resulting pdf file had all sections in profile and ignored any change in orientation and cut off/cropped out elements of the pages I had in landscape orientation.
SOLUTION:
The solution to this problem is in two parts: 1) changing some print preview stuff in word, and 2) changing preferences in pdfmaker/acrobat ribbon.For this solution to actually work however you must have the landscaped sections sectioned off by inserting section breaks in word.
Step 1) Go to the section where you document orientation is changed from the rest of the document. Press the office button (in 2007) and drag down to print>print preview. You will notice that your section has now reverted to profile. (Ah Ha!) Change the page orientation to landscape.
            "But wait, now my margins or elements are getting cut off" you say. Go to Page setup. Make sure that near the bottom it says "Apply to: This section"
            Now make it landscape and this changes the margins to also be landscape.
Step 2) Click on your Acrobat tab and go to preferences. Under pdfmaker settings click advanced settings and as Bill and I have said change auto-rotate pages to individually.
AND YOU ARE DONE!!!!!

Issue With Page Break When Sorting is also applied on group

</ROW>
</ROWSET>
In the template I group the data based on CLASSIFICATION and then sort on the same column CLASSIFICATION. I have a page-break applied for every group.
When I generate the PDF, I am not getting the page-breaks for every group. Instead some of them are displayed in the same page.
But when I remove the sorting that I had in the template on the column CLASSIFICATION, I am getting the output in the desired way but not in a sorted order.

Hi All,
I am using MS-WORD 2007 and BI Publisher desktop 10.1.3.3.3.
When I use split-by-page-break, splitting is performed for every line .. but not for group of lines.
Can anybody throw some light on this?
FYI...
I am using this code:
?if: position() mod 6= 0?
?split-by-page-break:?
?end if?
(Of course with in tags)
in G_LINES loop.
Can anybody help me out :-(

When converting a PDF document to word, the word count feature is not giving me the number of words

I have been using Acrobat for converting PDF documents to Word. It had been working just fine, but lately, when I convert a PDF document to Word, it is not giving me the word count, which is why I subscribed in the first place. Someone has any idea of why?

Hi Robin,
I would recommend you to use Acrobat software to convert this pdf file, Acrobat software enable you to customize the conversion settings.
You can download a free 30-day trial from this Link : https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
After downloading and installing acrobat, Open pdf file in Acrobat, go to File menu -> Click 'save as other' -> Microsoft Word -> Word Document.
A pop-up window will appear that would prompt you to choose the file to be converted, after you select the file, click on the settings button on the bottom left of the pop-up window and choose 'Retain Page layout' under layout settings, click ok and then save.
Hope that helps with your query.
Regards,
Rahul
