PDF maker issue in Leopard and Word 2004

I just upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5.8, Acrobat Pro 8.1.6, Word 2004 (11.3.8). When using Word in 10.4, the PDF Maker toolbar worked fine. Now in Leopard, using the PDF Maker button, I get an error that the printer is not present. But it is there and I can print to Acrobat printer fro the print menu of any app. I tried repair acrobat installation from the Acrobat help menu. But that keeps telling me I have Safari or a Microsoft app open when all are closed.
Thoughts?

Repair the printer subsystem not needed/done in Leopard according to other sources.
I tried:
Start-up in safe mode
new test account with no login items
repair permissions
maintenance tasks
still, I get the message from Acrobat that I need to quit MS or Safari apps.
Very strange!

I want to upgrade to snow leopard from 10.5.8. Im hesitant to proceed because I'm running iPhoto 7 and word 2004. I want to be sure these programs will still run and I won't lose my photos or the events I have ordered them by. Should i make a partition on my new Iomega external and clone it just in case? I'm running time machine and backing up all the time onto an old LaCie, and right now I have a copy of my iPhoto library on new Iomega, which I recopy every couple of weeks. I got the computer new several years ago and it came with iLife and 10.4 OS I think.

Word 2004 is almost 10 years old, you will not be able to upgrade beyond Snow Leopard with it. IMHO you have gotten your money's worth out of the application and need to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011, this will work just fine and read your old files just fine too. What will not run beyond SL are all PowerPC (PPC) apps such as Word 2004. You will need to update, upgrade or replace any PPC based apps you want to use. I would recommend taking a little time and check for updates to each of your apps. Then open System Profiler (Applications - Utilities - System Profiler) click the Applications link on the left and then look for any PPC based apps, those are the ones that will not run. You can upgrade to SL just fine with the apps you currently have however if you want to go beyond SL (it's already 2 generations behind) you will need to update or upgrade your apps. You can take your time doing it but eventually you're going to have to begin

Compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 on G5 PowerMac?

Are there compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard V. 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 when installed on a PowerMac G5? I understand the Leopard upgrade is okay on the later Intel Mac, but what about my G5 PowerPC Mac?

I do not use Microsoft Excel much but when i do use it it works fine on my G5. my powerbook has excel to but sometimes freezes on the powerbook. but not the G5 so give it a try you can always uninstall it if it does not work good

Crossing my fingers and loading Leopard....

I have Snow Leopard 10.6 and I am having issues with M/S Word 2004 and G-mail. I can only open docs sent to me in g-mail on google doc?

Is there a compatability issue with Microsoft Word 2004 and Snow Leopard or is it G-Mail? I am using Safari with a G-mail account.

Will upgrading to 2011 correct my issue that I can not open a pdf or word doc in G-mail or could it be a g-mail setting? I can open these docs outside of G-mail, but I am also having issues sending them without the docs becoming slightly modified enroute.

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and Word 2004

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I have found that when I try to Insert Picture into a Word document (Word 2004), the Media browser for Photo no longer works. I can find pictures elsewhere on the disk. I assume Word is not connecting through to the iPhoto (08) database.
I also have OpenOffice and tried in other (non-MS Office 2004) apps - this works with no problem.
Anyone seen or solved this?
Thx

Thanks Stuart, I did upgrade Office 2004 to the latest patches and still have the problem.
Don't really want to spend on upgrading to Office 2008 - cost and I hear some functions are lost (macros).
I searched the internet and I didn't actually find anyone stating that Office 2004 had any issues apart from being slow 'cos of Rosetta, but I don't see any reason why the OSX media browser that Word invokes fails. To me that sounds as if it could be a failing of the OSX media browser (Snow Leopard supports backward compatibility with Rosetta, but not the media browser?).

Voice Over and Word 2004

List members:
I can't get Voice Over to read text written in Microsoft Word 2004 for the Mac. Will Voice Over function with all word processors, or is it limited to Text Edit? Thanks for any info.
Mark Pavlick

In fact, though it's quite unpretentious, TextEdit is quite a powerful little beast. If you have a Word 2004 document already, you can not only open and read it in TextEdit, you can modify it extensively, and the formatting will be preserved unchanged—text colour, font, bold/italic effects and so on. My totally blind VoiceOver-using wife translates Word documents from French into English, so the whole text is replaced by other words. When I open them in Word again, they're identical except for the language being different.
TextEdit can also save new documents in Word or Word XML formats if you want, as well as plain text, HTML and RTF.
Don't despair! (But I agree with Bruce—Pages is a terrible disappointment!)

Batch Processing .doc 2 .pdf with Acrobat 8 Pro and Office 2004 on Tiger

I have been through the forum posts and for each relavent thread there is the easy batch process that can be done to solve this issue - however, the major flaw I have is (as seen in the attachment) no option to be able to open Word docs. How do I enable Acrobat Pro to be able to open word docs??!?!? It really is an answer I have not been able to find on the web anywhere!

Then what do you make of this persons post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1098036#1098036
"Create a new batch sequence. Select 'Run commands on Selected Folder'. In the source file options enable 'Microsoft Office Word'. Then let run the sequence."
I am able to work out the whole process except in my Acrobat there is no option for "Microsoft Word" as Bernd suggests - how do I get it on the list.

Has anybody had compatibility issues with Leopard and their scanners?

I recently installed Leopard on my G5. I'm still using Photoshop CS2 and so far no problems. Until today. I have a Epson Perfection 2450 scanner and today I went to scan some old photos. At first blush, no problem. I put in a second photo. Nothing. I get a 2 messages: The first says: "Make sure the scanner is on and properly set up to scan." Like, yeah. It was just working. The second message read Couldn't complete the import command because there is no scanner installed." I switched the USB port and it worked, once, and then same messages appeared when I tried to repeat. I went to Epson and downloaded a new driver to no avail. The same thing happened. I'm also having the same problem with my Nikon scanner. Photoshop or Leopard is creating problems for my scanners. I've updated all the necessary rivers. But nothing. I'm flummoxed.

I have used the same media type for the last year with no issue
Vendors change suppliers of discs; often one batch is not the same as another.
Media is THE most common cause of the error.
Solution is to change media, and don't but 16x media for a 8x or slower drive.
Another cause is out of date firmware, which can be updated easily in Windows.
Use DVRFlash to update firmware in OS X.

File sharing issue with Leopard and Windows XP

I had no problem with file sharing (see the Windows machine on Leopard) before I reinstall the XP and update to SP3.
Now I cannot get the XP shared disk displayed on Leopard Finder. I looked through some guides and check these:
Both the two laptops are in the same workgroup called "WORKGROUP";
XP firewall disabled;
XP Guest Account enabled.
But I just cannot get the Windows icon back to the left column of my Finder. Have I missed something? Any body with any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Same problem but almost the reverse. 10.5.2 server, windows clients file browsing, opening and saving speed is great, but our 4 iMac clients (Leopard also) really, really slow to generate thumbnail views of files and open them. Happens across several shares, seems to be a problem with AFP, although now after disabling AFP on some of the shares, it is happening on SMB as well. I have read several other discussions on this forum that attempt to deal with AFP performance issues, but none provide a real solution. Now that it is also happening with the SMB protocol as well I am getting a bit concerned.
Any advice or even a link to more info would be greatly appreciated.

Automator application: Rtf's converted from pdf's do not open and word files from same rtf's are blank--???

I found directions for converting pdf's to word documents to facilitate editting. The process used Automator by selecting
pdf's to be converted to rtf's. The resulting rtf file could then be saved as a word document. The problem is that the resulting
rtf's do not open and the saved word document opens blank. What's the problem and the solution?

mns579 is correct, but it is even more complex than that. To put it bluntly, the only thing a PDF is guaranteed to do is print. There is no guarantee that any PDF will convert into any format other than an image (for printing). Some PDFs are composed of actual text or vector data and those are nice to work with, but not commonly encountered. In fact, pretty much the only time you are likely to have a PDF in a format that can be easily converted is when you have the document in some other original format from which you made the PDF. And, if you have said original format, why do you need PDF?

Snow leopard and office 2004

I currently use office 2004 because I make use of the ability to create macros that Microsoft removed in Office 2008. I am wondering if Snow leopard will be compatible with office 2004?

Also, here are the 10.6 Snow Leopard forums.

Pdf creation problem in Excel and Word

I have Windows 7 Pro and Office 2010. Up until a month ago, when I created a pdf in Excel or word, it would automatically open up so I can review. I then downloaded the trial version of Acrobat® XI Pro. When the trial version ended, I uninstalled the Acrobat® XI Pro. I still have the standard Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. Now when I create a pdf it no longer automatically opens, and I always need to review it before sending it out. How do I fix this?

Do you the latest Office update 14.4.5?

Colour Management issue With Leopard and PS CS3

Hi Everyone,
Since I have installed Leopard I am having colour management issues with Photoshop CS3 and my Canon i9950 printer.
My screen is calibrated with a Spyder and I used to ask Photoshop (in 10.4.11) to manage colour when printing and used the Spyder profile. Everything came out as I saw it on screen.
Now in leopard when I do the same thing everything comes out too yellow on the print. If I ask Photoshop to let the printer manage the colour it is too red. If I use the default colour management (photoshop managing the colour and it choosing the colour space it is better, but still too yellow).
Photoshop gives the hint to turn off colour management in the printer but there is no option for this and it also said the same thing before of course (when it worked in 10.4.11).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

You need to use the correct printer profile for the paper you're using. If the printer didn't come with any pre-built profiles, check Canon's web site to see if they have any profiles available for your printer that you can download.
Printer profiles are very specific. You can't take take a profile for glossy Epson paper and expect it to work very well for Canon glossy paper.

I'm having exactly the same problem, only my printer is a Canon Pixma iX4000. The colour is all bleached out, it looks exactly like when you've accidentally printed an RGB file on a CMYK printer, and at first I thought that was what I had done, but it isn't. This is very frustrating, I've spent all day going through the manuals, recalibrating etc, but no luck. This is a brand new Mac Pro and printer, but if its not going to print what I see on screen it's just expensive junk.
I wasn't sure if the problem was Leopard or the printer or CS3...
