Hyperlink problem when converting Word to PDF

Hi everyone.
I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard version 7.1.4 on a Windows 2000 environment.
I am using Word XP/2002 SP3.
I have a couple of problems when converting Word to PDF.
When converting a long link which is in 2 lines, PDF just takes one line into account, not considering the whole link
When I have hyperlinks that links to a web page, the link works fine in Word but in pdf, it gets the few words after the url address making the link not work. For example. I have a hyperlink that http://www.google.com/ and after this I have the words: "This is a sample text". The hyperlink in pdf would then become http://www.google.comThisisasampletext
Do you have any ideas how I can correct this?
Thanks.

To get the cross references, you have to use Convert to PDF (PDF Maker part of the Acrobat product). However, you first need to go to the print menu and set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Close the print menu and then do a reflow and link update of the document (ctrl-A, then F9 I think). This is needed to get the links correct since WORD reflows the document based on the printer (problem with them going to the wrong place).
Printing to the Adobe PDF printer (the step of print to file is not needed, just print to the printer and the rest is automatic) does not include the links. PDF Maker is a PreProcessor for the Adobe PDF printer that adds PDF Marks to the PS file before it is sent to Distiller (OK, the printer when used normally creates a PS file and then invokes Distiller to complete the process - your steps did with the Adobe PDF printer is the same process done manually).
Summary:
1. Fix document after setting the printer to Adobe PDF.
2. Use PDF Maker (create PDF button)

Link problem when converting MS Word to PDF with Acrobat Professional

Hello all,
I have the following problem:
When I have a MS Word document with links to other files inside and I convert it to PDF the links are converted from relative paths to absolute paths.
The problem is created by Acrobat as the links in the MS Word file are relative (I have checked this by moving the different docs to another directory and confirmed that the links still work after the move).
How can I make the paths in the PDF relative again? I know there is a plugin from Evermap (and I can confirm this works) but I do not want to use this plugin (=read: spend another $190 dollars) as the license for the Acrobat Professional is expensive enough . Is there a way I can convert the paths within Adobe Acrobat easily? Or better: can I adjust the settings in Acrobat to a new standard when all converted documents contain relative paths?
Backgroundinfo:
- Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
- Windows XP (SP2)
- MS Word 2002
Thanks in advance!
Bart

Dear Steve,
I have tried what u suggested: I put all the documents (word + linked documents) into the same folder on the local-drive (C). Then I recreated the links in the word document to be sure they were matching. After that I converted the word document to an PDF and confirmed the links were still working in the PDF document.
Then the biggest challenge: copying the pdf and linked documents to another drive&directory. As you can guess: Unfortunately the links did not work anymore.
Any other suggestions?
If I use the Evermap-tool (30 day-trial) I can look at the links and this is how it is 'coded' in the pdf.
first link: ../../../../test/link_a.pdf
second link: ../../../../test/link_b.pdf
and yes this will work if you put the documents in the directory test in the root of the local-drive but not in a different subdirectory.
Anyone ideas?
Grtz,
Bart

Spool to PDF - Problems with downloading PDF file when converting with job

Hi all!
I've got a problem. I've got a program that writes a smartform into the spool. After that, I am using the function modules RSTS_GET_ATTRIBUTES and CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert it into PDF. I retrieve a internal table with the binary content for the PDF file. Now i can download the file to the desktop by using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.
But there is a problem: when the spool excesses 99 pages, the function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF asks the user via popup if the PDF should be created in background. If the user commits, the internal tables that should contain the binary PDF data is emtpy. A background job writes the binary data into the spool. The user has got an empty file that will be generated by cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.
So, is it possible to suppress the popup to create the PDF allways online? Or how can I write the PDF file if there will be create any spool id in background? You'll find my current code below.

Creating a PDF file with over 99 pages through SAP seems rather unreasonable to me. What are you printing - Encyclopedia Britannica? For cripes sake... Have you thought about creating more than one spool request or using something completely different? Why do you have to do this through spool? You can get Smartform output directly into PDF, there are a lot of example out there.
The only solution that comes to mind is rather brutal - create a copy of the function module and get rid of the popup. Although it just might time out after that...

How to avoid image problem when converting to PDF?

I had placed this yellow watch (psd file) to a AI file. Then I saved it as a PDF. When I opened the PDF file, there was an error on the image.
Is there anyone can help to solve this problem?

A few possibilities include stuff like...
1.) Image is missing and/or not "Linked". Look at whether the image has been moved or taken from a server. The solution is to save the image to a local folder and link to it in the document.
2.) Color space of the document does not match the color space of the image. Make sure the image and the document are appropriate color spaces and they match ( i.e., document = CMYK; image = CMYK ).

Sapscript output(Spool) to PDF problem when viewed

We have a number of documents which are output in Russian using the Cyrillic courier font within our Uincode SAP system. They look fine on the spool when viewed, print okay, and all look fine when converted to a PDF file (using RSTXPDFT4) and viewed via Adobe PDF viewer (vers 9.1.20), except one form, the invoice, which will not display properly in Adobe, showing square blocks with crosses through them when viewed. The strange thing is that when this same PDF is viewed via Sumatra (Open source PDF viewer) it looks perfect, but will not display via the Adobe PDF viewer, even though all the other delivery/dispatch docuemnts (all Sapscript) print and view fine via the Adobe PDF viewer.
I guess I could suggest that we just use Sumatra from now on, but that is not really the answer when you have a multinational company which has Adobe already installed on all hardware as default.
Has anyone come across this problem before. I was wondering if there could be anything in Sapscript that might have caused this as this is a copy of SAP standard Russian Invoice Sapscript (J_3RVINVOICE)?
I'm going to check OSS to see if there's a fault with the PDF convertion program (RSTXPDFT4) but I would like to hear from anyone that may have encountered the same problem.

Gary

Hi Gary
How the issue is resolved, please let me know. Since i am also facing same issue.

Problems when converting Office files into forms in Vista

Hi,
I recently purchased Adobe Acrobat X Pro but am having a problem when trying to convert office files (word and excel) into forms on my laptop running Vista.
I open Acrobat and select create or edit form and get the window to select the file which is fine.
I then select to import a file from file system which is ok so I browse and select the appropriate file and select next and I get the below error.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as updating but it had no effect.
I have uninstalled it and installed it on a computer running XP and it all works fine.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Since you seem to be on a 64-bit system, be sure you have updated Acrobat and are not running AA 10.0.0. Can you run PDF Maker (the create PDF button) in WORD?

When converting a pdf file to excel the columns are corrupted. Data from one column is now spread across two columns.

The ability to convert back to Excel with columns in proper location depends on how the PDF was created. If done in a way to allow going back, the PDF would be tagged with the location information. An alterntative is to use the alt key while selecting a column of the spreadsheet and then copy and paste that to Excel. Repeat for each column. Takes a while, but might be faster than spliting the columns. You might try saving to a csv file and see if a comma or tab is present to differentiate the columns when opening in Excel -- not tried this, but might be worth a try.

"font" problems when converting InDesign file to negative

the printing service we use for our college newsletter, which is done in InDesign CS3, says he is having "font problems" when he turns the file into a negative (the master used for printing paper copies of the newsletter). I use only a standard font, "Times," in various sizes.
he did not have this problem with InDesign CS2, and he is as yet unable to explain exactly what the problems are but said there are 3 pieces of equipment involved that each contribute to the problem: old vs new operating systems (OS) in RIP unit and workstation to newest applications and older RIP unit. (I haven't a clue what any of this means...)
he has asked we create an "outline" of the InDesign file before sending it and believes doing that may help. however, when I create an outline of the document, all of the font turns bright red-- is this what is supposed to happen or am I doing something wrong?
can anyone help me figure out how to help the printer?

The .sitx file extension is a Stuffit executable, a way of compressing files so that they take less time to transfer. This has nothing to do with your problem.
What I'm recommending is that you Export PDF (File > Export > Adobe PDF). Choose the Press Quality preset and send the resulting PDF to your printer. Scott's suggestion will give you a PDF with outlined type, but before you go that route, try a Press Quality PDF, which will have live type and embedded fonts.
The best reason for sending PDF to your printer is to avoid font problems.

Got problems when converting video to 640*480 m4v

guys, I got compatibility issues when convert videos to 640*480 h264 m4v.
I tried MepgStreamclip, and the export to mp4 quicktime mov in Quicktime. ALL FAILED.
I followed all these 1.5mbps, 640*480, aac-lc requirements when did the conversion.However, my ipod will not recognize of the files.
I have also noticed that the "Export to Ipod" preset in Quicktime has been changed to 640*480. BUT, what keeps annoying me is the preset is so idiotic!! It ignores the source bps and simply converts everything to 1.5mbps. I got 25mb file after conversion as the source file is 11mb.
Could anyone kindly point out the Right procedure to convert video to ipod format Manually...... I want to have full control when I am doing this.
thanks a lot

any suggestions?

Encountered problem when converting from development to runtime environment

1. I ran apxdevrm.sql switch my environment to runtime. Although it seemed to finish successfully, this error was in the log and according to registry, my installation was invalidated(still works though).
drop package wwv_flow_create_flow_api (doesn't seem to exist)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-04043: object WWV_FLOW_CREATE_FLOW_API does not exist
Entry in dba_registry:
COMP_NAME--Oracle Application ExpressSTATUS
STATUS--INVALID
2. Next, not sure if it had made the switch, I then ran apxdvins,sql to revert back because of problem #1. (later found out that it was still devl environment)
This time, this message appeared in log...
FAILED CHECK FOR TRIGGER BIN$UH58A027El3gRAADutXi8w==$0
(Installation still invalid)
Any ideas?

1. Commented "drop package" stmt out on apexdevrm.sql to get rid of non-existent package problem. (probably holdover from v3.0)
2. purged dba_recyclebin to get rid of problem #2.
Dba_registry entry still shows as INVALID... Has anyone else encountered these problems when switching from dev to runtime? (or vice-versa)

Problems when converting from pdf to word

I am a translator and I get most of my work in pdf files. So I convert the pdfs into words to be able to change the text and edit. However, when dcuments are converted from pdf to word I have found they become very unstable and difficult to work with to the point I usually end up not using the coverted file. Is there any place I can go for training about what to do with those documents? Can anyone relate to this problem?
thanks

Hi patryba,
You can access ExportPDF here: Adobe Acrobat.com.
Please let us know how it goes!

Problem when converting to pdf - Oracle Reports 6i

Hi all,
Im using Oracle reports 6i and Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production.
In My database NLS_LANGUAGE is GREEK & NLS_CHARACTERSET is EL8MSWIN1253.
So i have greek language texts in the database..
When run the report, in the previewer the greek letters are fine,
But when i try to convert it into PDF, all the greek letters are not supported and letters are unknown characters.
i tried following,
SRW.DO_SQL ('ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE = '||'''GREEK''')
But still same problem....
Any workaround on this.. ?
Regards
SankarMN

Hi O.Developer,
I have set the greek language in the registry already, but still same problem persists.
In the Registry, i have the following value same as i have in the database nls parameters,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE ->ORACLE -> ORACLE_HOMES -> NLS_LANG -> AMERICAN_AMERICA.EL8MSWIN1253.
EL8MSWIN1253 is GREEK.
I could store greek values in the database and i can retrive it in the forms and reports as well.
My only problem is, when i try to convert the report into pdf, it is unknown characters.
And also i tried with modifying the file uifont.ali. But still no result...
Any other try is there to overcome ?
Regards

Font problem when converting to pdf

I have been struggling with this for a long time! When I export to pdf for some reason the fonts become really mangled. I use several fonts but it is especially baskerville 12 that looks really bad. I have searched and searched but can't figure out why it comes out like that?
If anyone can be of help it will be much appreciated!

I have the same issue. From what I found online it originated sometime during this update (http://indesignsecrets.com/mac-os-x-10-6-7-update-causes-font-problems—but-proba bly-not-in-indesign.php)? I am running OSX Lion but it seems the issue was inherited...
My situation is using Pages with Baskerville font. It appears wonky in Adobe Reader but as expected in Preview.
Found a temporary fix at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4320355#4319047 . It would be nice for this to be included in an upcoming patch.
