Pdf to word not working

Hello all, I am using a Mac OS X 10.5.8 and using Acrobat Pro 9.4.5. I am trying to convert a pdf made in inDesign to a word document. It contains tables, text and images. The images are inside tables also. When I have been creating the pdf I have been using a number of different ways to see if any of them work, such as the Press Ready and High Res options. When making the pdfs I have been ticking the make tags because I read somewhere that you need to do that.
The results are coming out all different.
1) The text and headings fine but the tables are graphics.
2) The tables on the left hand pages are graphics and have moved up to cover the text at the top which is in tables with photos in a cell next to it and the photos are gone.
3) The best result was when saved in inDesign to a high res press ready with no compression but tagged and all text was ok, all tables was ok except one page which the table was a graphic and had moved up and covered the table at the top and when moved down the photo had gone.
This is so frustrating. I tried an online converter and waited ages to be sent an email saying file was too big. Are there any fixes for this please.
Thank you.

I can tell you the best fix but you probably won't like it. This is one of the few things for a Macintosh that is substantially improved in Acrobat X Pro. Much improved conversion to Word files. I taught a class to a law firm a couple months ago which does this a lot and they were very impressed.

Save As PDF from Word not working

Hi all,
Getting a bit anxious here. I'm on a Mac and for years I've been creating PDFs from Word (Office X, 2003) by following the path: File > Print > PDF button > Save as PDF. It's always worked perfectly.
I bought my new iMac last week and could not create PDFs from Word. Thought it might be the version of Adobe Reader I was running (v9) so updated and am now running 10.0.3. No change. Some documents save fine, others don't.
Can someone please help? I'm quite dependent on this function for sending PDFs, and the backlog is growing...
Many thanks,
Andrew
My setup:
iMac 3.1G
12GB RAM
OS 10.6.7 (Snow Leopard)
Adobe Reader: v10.0.3

Sorry but Reader has nothing to do with creating the PDF. It only views the end result. You'll probably want to take this up in either the Apple forums or a Microsoft forum since you are using one or the others technology to create the PDF.

I can repeat my action, where instead of "printing" to adobe, it saves the file, which it doesn't save it at all. I can't even find the original in my work folder. I need to know how to stop this from happeing and get it back to the way it has been working he last 6 months since i purchased this program.

Hi pissedadobeuser,
Does this issue occur with any particular web page?
Are you able to print the webpage to 'Adobe PDF' to convert it to pdf.
Which Browser version, OS version and Acrobat version are you using?

PDF Portfolio does not work with iOS Reader 11.3.2 on iOS 7.1.2

Well this is upsetting. I created a PDF form with several pages of the same form (it's a travel log).
My hoping to use Adobe Reader to complete the form and save back as a week at a time won't work.
I created the form using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS5.
Does anyone know if a PDF form in a Portfolio should work with Adobe Reader on the iPad2/
Also, what can I use that works with forms as a portfolio?
Ken

Ken,
please could you describe your workflow. It might help to find some solution. Also it would be great if you can share a sample of your document. Please email it to [email protected] with the reference to this discussion "PDF Portfolio does not work with iOS Reader 11.3.2 on iOS 7.1.2"
thank you.

Pdf object postMessage not working in FF 22

Hi,
After updating my FF to 22, i seen pdf object postMessage function does not working. We used adbove livecycle intraactive pdf forms to collect the data from the user.
When user click the save button from the pdf, postMessage function called, but after update this not getting execute.
For your reference i include the URL which also had the same problem. I also tried without addons.
Refer: http://www.windjack.com/WindJack/Browser2PDF/brwsr2acroJS.htm
HTML to PDF => works
PDF to HTML => not working (in earlier versions it worked)
Thanks n Regards
Mathan

This is likely the fault of Livecycle Interactive. Most likely, Adobe has not yet provided an update for supporting Firefox 22. I would recommend informing adobe support about it.

I have the converter to change pdf to word. Works sometime, other time says conversion is taking too long. Can I get what it has translated so I can use the parts?

I would ask in the ExportPDF forum, Adobe ExportPDF (read only) (assuming that's the service to which you have subscribed). This is the Reader one.

The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail. Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

Is there a way to do this?

Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

Link in pdf-file does not work on Ipad

With my site www.bartkuijer.nl I offer visitors the free possibility to see (and download) sheetmusic, from music written by me. These are pdf-files. But they can not only SEE the sheetmusic; the music on that pdf-files can also be PLAYED. That's done bij clicking on a link in that pdf-file to a mp3-file of the music on my site.
This works fine on a pc. When I try this on the Ipad of my wife it DOES NOT WORK!
So my question is: how come? And what to do to make this work also fine on an Ipad.
This is important for me, because I want this sheetmusic to place as Ipad-apps for free.

It works!
But not with a pdf-file. The Ipad does not recognize links in a pdf-file.
Te solution is found by making a htm-file with emdedding a quicktime-player and images of the music. This is my first Ipad product. On a pc the player starts immediately; on the Ipad it has to be started.
Now I have to work on a solution to change this to an app

PDF HotspotsLinks DO NOT Work

I am following the Careshare tutorial from the Adobe
developers site. I've created the wireframe sample document,
including the 3 hotspots at the top of the document.
Per the tutorial I exported the Fireworks .png file to Adobe
Acrobat, yet when the file opens in Acrobat the hotspot links
created in Fireworks do not take me to the other pages of the
document.
All of the pages (3) are exported into the .pdf file, but the
links don't work.
Any ieas?
Thanks in advance.
Dan

I may have answered my own question.
When I first created the document I seleted all three areas
that were to have a hotspot. I then right clicked and selected
Insert Hotspot, and then selected multiple hotspots. I then
assigned a wireframe page to each hotspot.
Upon exporting to PDF this method DID NOT work, i.e., the
hotspots were not active in the Acrobat document.
However, I found that if I created each hotspot individually
using the hotspot tool under the WEB tools, and then assigned the
link to the proper page, the hotspots functioned as expected after
exporting to Acrobat.
I Hope this helps sombody else.

Hyperlinks in PDF preview do not work

Hyperlinks in the preview PDF files that people first see when they click a Send link do not work. Can this possibly be fixed? Some users may not want to go through the hassle of downloading the document and want to be able to use the full document from the preview screen.

You have to create one or more Character Styles to populate that menu.
Format some text the way you want your hyperlinks to look, (color, underline, etc.). With your newly formatted text selected, go to the Character Styles panel (if it's not visible, press Shift+F11), and choose New Character Style from the panel menu. Give it a name like "hyperlink" and click OK.
Now, when you create or edit hyperlinked text, your Character Styles menu will include the character style you created, in addition to [None].

PDF Preview Handler Not Working in Outlook 2010

I have Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit and Outlook 2010.
Everything was working fine, until a few months ago when the PDF Preview Handler stopped working. I got the typical message that others were having with the issue with Adobe Reader 9. I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have also used Adobe Reader X. I have tried the little registry fix app that is supposed to fix this issue, but it states that my registry is already correct. Has anyone found a resolution for this issue with Acrobat X and Outlook 2010? As a workaround I am using the Foxit PDF Preview Handler, but I have to reinstall it everytime Adobe Reader or Acrobat is udpated as for some reason Outlook then reverts back to the PDF Preview Handler, which is not working.
Thanks,
Merg

Nope, using 32-bit. And I recently uninstalled Acrobat Pro completely and reinstalled it due to an issue with it not updating due to having the "Error Applying Transforms" issue. After I reinstalled, I updated it completely. I suppose I can try uninstalling and reinstalling again, but that seems like overkill.

Preview PDF while loading not working in Reader 10

Hi,
a cool feature of Adobe Reader 9 was the "pdf preview while loading".
If I opened a large PDF-Document in the webbrowser the first few pages have been displayed while the rest of the document was loaded in the background.
This was very helpful because I was able to decide weather I would like continue loading or not.
This feature does not work anymore with Adobe Reader 10 and Firefox.
I have to wait until the blue progressbar is completed.
On Internet explorer it works.
Any tips ?
Thank You,
Andy.
