PDF conversion from Word 2010 incredibly slow and loses format

Just moved onto new laptop with Windows 7 Word 2010
and downloaded Acrobat 9 Pro trial.  Have used Acrobat 8 with Word 2007 and earlier versions with no problems. Now taking half an hour to convert a document and cutting out margins.  Just today I was talking with Adobe tech help and was advised Acrobat 9 is compatible with Word 10.  Any suggestions?

You should be able to print to the Adobe PDF printer, but nothing else probably will work with OFFICE 2010 as Adobe told you. You probably can just wait until AA10. There are no current expectations of AA9 being updated to work with OFFICE 2010 (at least the PDF Maker part.).

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro adding a blank page on conversion from Word 2010

    Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help.  I'm converting a Word 2010 document to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.5.4).  On conversion to PDF, a blank page is being added, throwing the entire report off.  In word, there is a Section Break (Next Page) at the end of the first page, and the text continues on the second.  On conversion, it is after this section break that the blank page apears (i.e., between pages 1 and 2 of the document).  I've been back and forth through the document, tried to use a Continuous Section Break instead (Word just converts it to a page break again), making sure there's only one break, etc., and cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this problem.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • PDF conversion from Word - WMF display

    I have created a PDF from a word document. It has WMFs inserted in the document using BuildBetter WMF.  The document displays correctly in word.  I have used the preset of "high quality" on the PDF conversion.  The document print quality is correct but I am having difficulty seeing the WMF drawing when displayed on the computer.  If I zoom in I can see the drawing fine.  Obviously it is a pixel problem.  How can I fix this?

  • How can I correct spacing issues in PDFs created from Word 2010?

    I have already changed settings to Press Quality as well as embedded all fonts possible yet I am unable to fix this error.
    As an example of what occurs throughout the PDF after conversion please see the image on the left (Original DOCX) and the image on the right (Converted PDF).
    The spacing is not uniformly altered and in some cases the spacing is reduced, as in the word "efficiency" and in some cases spacing is increased, as in the space between "energy" and "efficiency".

    It looks as if Word (not Acrobat) is doing some advanced typographical adjustment. Certain fonts contain a specially designed ffi single character.

  • Font Scrambling in PDF Conversions from Word 2004

    Our Imago fonts periodically get scrambled into garbage when using the Adobe 7.0 Pro Distiller to convert documents. We purchased the Imago fonts specifically for use in our business and have used this for a number of years and the problem continues to happen. It appears that it is imbedded properly in the preferences menu. Has anyone had this happen or does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hello, hereby a snapshot of the Word doc & the result as pdf as shown in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. (In Acrobat reader it shows ok) . Depending on how I convert to pdf I get different results. Sometimes a completely coloured page, a blank page or with only the coloured line showing.
    I don't know how to post a link (don't have a web address ..) but if you give me a mail-address I could send the Word document to you. 

  • Blurry text in Acrobat X Pro when creating PDF from Word 2010

    I created a  PDF document from Word 2010 and while most of the pages and formatting looks fine, about 1/5 of the pages have blurry Arial 10 pt text (it looks as if it was Arial bold out of focus). Has anyone experienced this problem?

    Thanks for the reply.
    The artifacts scale with the pdf.
    Below is the 'p' from "participation" and the 'a' from "Apparatus" at 1600% and 6400%

  • Pdf's from word not working properly

    Hi, I'm trying to print to acrobat printer and generate pdf's from word 2010. Unfortunately whenever I do it anything that is in the header or footer and any images on the page are completely missing when the pdf appears. Does anyone know how to stop this happening?!? It's driving me crazy.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi there,
    Just wanted to correct a possible misconception.
    There is no PDFMaker ribbon available for the 64-bit version of Office 2010. However Acrobat is compatible with Office 2010 in that you can still create PDF files using Acrobat X by printing to the Adobe PDF printer.
    To the original poster, could you upload a sample Word file?
    Thanks,
    David

  • Acrobat 9.5, file corruption when combining .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document

    In Acrobat 9, when I combine .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document, there is data corruption. Some of the text appears as blank boxes when the pages are inserted into the larger .pdf, the main document. I have so far solved this by "printing" the files to .pdf, and then inserting them into the larger .pdf main document, but this creates a fatter .pdf file that is much larger than would otherwise be the case. Are there any other solutions within Acrobat 9, please? If this bug has been solved in Acrobat X or XI, please advise. Thanks.

    As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
    As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
    Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

  • Unwanted background color creating PDf from Word 2010

    I'm creating a PDF from Word 2010 using the built-in "Save as Adobe PDF" distiller. All of a sudden the created PDF has a pale yellow background, except for text boxes and images. I have no ide where the background tint came from. How do I get rid of it?

    It's probably related to a transparency issue. Try selecting the background and deleting it using the editing tools - depending on what version of Acrobat you're using, you may find it easier to do this using the Content Navigation pane.

  • I converted a 253 page document from Word 2010 to pdf using Adobe Professional 8.  The pdf fike only had 251 pages.  Why?

    I converted a 253 page document from Word 2010 to pdf using Adobe Professional 8.  The pdf fike only had 251 pages.  Why?

    Word documents don't have a fixed page layout; Word reflows freely if it wants. This isn't normally a problem unless things like typing page numbers is done; avoid that.

  • Problem importing PDF file from Word to Pages on IPad 2

    I am trying to import a PDF file from Word 2007 to Pages on my iPad 2 using the file sharing function in iTunes.
    I am able to import it, however when Pages saves it, I get the following message:
    "Pages doesn't support some od the original document.
    Objects in headers, footers, shapes, text boxes and table cells were removed.
    Merged table cells were unmerged.
    Objects were removed from table cells."
    The document is a PDF form which needs to be filled in. The document was downloaded from a website and saved as a Word document where I have been able to enter in information and print it.
    I would like to be able to fill in the form and print it from Pages as there are other documents that accompany this PDF file. (these are plain text Word documents which I have succesfully imported and can edit and print.)
    Is there any way for me to achieve this?
    Cheers,
    Jules

    I don't think Pages can do this - you'll need a dedicated iPad PDF program that can fill in and edit PDF files. And even then, reports are that different readers work or dont' work with different PDF's... I use Goodreader, which can do some PDF filling in, but you might want to check the app store for others.

  • Importing a second Index from Word 2010 into InDesign CC

    I am working on a 1000 page book. It was imported from Word 2010. Things imported messy but I am cleaning it up. The second index imported as text but did not attach to the reference in the text. The Index worked as did the table of contents. What can I do and how do I work with this. I have never had this kind of a situation.
    Thanks

    Make sure to open the track changes dialog and accept the changes, then do a Save As to rewrite the file.

  • Hyperlinks in PDFs made from Word no longer work

    PDFs made from Word documents containing hyperlinks used to be no problem. I can still make PDFs from Word (using the 'Save as PDF' in the print driver), and the links show up as underlined blue text, but they no longer work.
    It's been several months since I last made a Word doc with links and successfully converted it to PDF in this manner, but I can't imagine what might have changed.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Try to redo the default browser (i.e make IE the default and then let Firefox do it again).

  • Creat PDF funtion in Word 2010 Not Working Correctly

    Hello.
    We recently installed Adobe Acrobat XI Standard within our orginization. We are having issues with our company letter head and the Create PDF function within Word 2010. When we attempt to use the Create PDF function, it creates a PDF that has the letterhead elements, but no text on the page. When we select to print to PDF, that option works without issue. Can someone lend some advice here?
    Thank you!

    Hi LotteNZ,
    Just for clarification, I'm using PowerPoint 2010 and Adobe Pro XI.  I have an ongoing project for which I have to produce a PDF based on a PowerPoint file that has a lot of links.  I eventually found an actual Adobe person who answered my question so I could stop looking for features that don't exist.
    Here's the bottom line:
    - Links that go to Next, Previous, First, or Last slide will work correctly in the PDF
    - Links that go to other specific slides within the file will not be transferred to the PDF
    - The links that don't get "inherited" in the PFD have to be re-created in the PFD (which isn't difficult -- just tedious when there are a lot of them)
    Adobe is aware of this but the person who wrote me did not know of any specific plans to fix it in future releases (which doesn't necessarily mean that they won't).
    I think Adobe supports "its own" first, which makes sense.  I believe that If the source file was created in InDesign, all of the links would be supported.  But for a variety of reasons, in my case, my source file has to be PowerPoint.
    It's annoying having to recreate links every time I make changes in my source file and so one trick I've learned is to only replace pages that have changes.  It's an imperfect system, but it does speed things up.
    Hope that helps!
