Hi divabuyer,
It sounds like you're trying to convert to Word from within Reader, is that so? Are you signed in to Reader? If so, you'll see your name in the upper-right corner of the Reader application window.
If that doesn't work, please try llogging in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf with your Adobe ID and password.
Let us know how it goes.
Best,

Strike through line is not coming up in PDF output

I have to strike through some data in my report. I tried in design time as well as in run time. In run time I used SRW.SET_FONT_STYLE(SRW.OVERSTRIKE_STYLE) method to strike through the data. It is displaying overstrike line in screen, printer, RTF and HTML outputs, but not in PDF output. Plain data is coming up in PDF format without strikethrough line.
Thanks

This works in Reports 6i Patch 10(6.0.8.19).

How to strike-through words in Pages on iPAd?

How to strike through words in Pages on iPAd? Can't find out how to do it.........

Click on the words to select them, then click on the "i" icon in the upper right, then select the style tab the select the s button.

The type tool has a circle with a strike through on the bottom corner and won't insert words when iI type

I've just restored from a computer crash and re installed Creative Cloud 6 on my clean computer. Since then I've tried to use illustrator but can't get the type tool to function. It appears but has a small circle with a strike through on the bottom right corner and won't insert words when I type. I'm a newbie to illustrator and other Adobe products so please be gentle. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your suggestion.
This was a bigger problem than I thought so I contacted support. The type issue was fixed in the repair.
BTW I am running Creative Cloud 2014 and not cc6 like I thought. Also on PC Windows 7
Here is the result:
I also have had a difficult time with Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 crashing upon launch. The support staff was great even though we had to work through several sessions. Below is the email explaining our final session.
This email is in regards with the issue you had been facing with Illustrator CC 2014.
While going through the installer logs, we found that there was an issue with the installation & the program installer had been denied access to several critical files & folders during installation.
This was the main reason for Illustrator crash as several critical components had not been installed properly.
We tried installing the program in a new user account & that worked.
Though the program has been installed properly now & is working in your old account, I will still strongly recommend you to get your computer user account repaired with a Windows 7 operating system diskette.
This is required so that you do not run into more trouble later while working with the Adobe Applications or even while installing other programs.
Avanish Divya was the final support person that successfully resolved my problems.
I hope this helps other panicked users.

Can't highlight, underline, strike through or select text in iOS 7 Adobe Reader

I have enjoyed using Adobe Reader to proofread clients' documents, but since the last two iOS 7 updates I can't highlight, underline, strike through or select text in PDFs generated by the same source that previously presented no problems.
The drawing and insert text functions do work.
I am using an up-to-date iOS 7 iPad 4. The latest Adobe Reader update and a hard reset, as advised elsewhere on the forum, didn't help.
I have read What's New and looked at the Help manual. I am aware of the new long tap to select one word followed by another tap.
What am I doing wrong? Adobe Reader used to work so easily. I won't be paid for the time lost while I try to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Krissy,
I found it extremely frustrating and I don't have a technically sensible answer for you.
Mine started working again suddenly, but slowly, after many hours of not working, and then improved in speed and responsiveness with use.
The conventional wisdom is to ensure you have the latest update of Adobe Reader first. There has been more than one since the iOS 7 change.
The first time it started working again for me was when I was trying in a pdf that I had previously edited in Adobe Reader before the problem began, where I know all the tools used to work (i.e. no problems caused by the file itself) but it is now also working in the new doc that wouldn't work the other day.
Shradha above gave me the clue that triggered it. I usually go straight to the "Pick a Tool" comment/annotate button in the main/first toolbar at the top, then use the toolbar at the bottom, where the highlight, underline and strikeout tools wouldn't work.
These functions started working when I tried selecting text directly from the first screen that has the toolbar for "View Modes" (an eye), save/export options, "Pick a Tool", share options and search, without selecting any of these options.
So, instead of choosing the Pick a Tool button at the top, try just holding down some text for a while, as if to select it (mine wouldn't even select for a long time) and see if the grey tool menu pops up right above that text.
Initially, I only got the options that were already working to pop up ("Note, Text, Freehand and Signature"). I tried a few different spots in the file and eventually the "Copy/Highlight/Strikeout/Underline/Define" menu popped up. The first time it apppeared was after holding down the text selection action for about 20 seconds, and it didn't appear every time, but then it became quicker and more reliable, and then these functions also started to work from the bottom toolbar that I usually use after choosing Pick a Tool.
Even today, checking that it still works, it was a bit stuttery to start with and then it came good.
Perhaps any of the technically-minded members could explain this or perhaps tell us if there is a difference in the action that is supposed to bring up the "Note" etc versus the "Highlight" etc pop-up menus. I'm stumped.
So try holding down text to select as soon as you open the file, and see if that grey menu will start to appear with the "Highlight" etc options after several attempts. I hope it starts working for you soon.

Why do I see incorrect fonts when I create PDFs from Word

When I first started using Acrobat (versions 3 through 5), it was an incredible product because it could create an exact copy of a document I created with a DTP program. I could send that PDF to someone who did not have the DTP program, yet the recipient saw exactly what I created in the DTP program. That's what made Acrobat great. It worked flawlessly.
Now I have Acrobat Pro XI, and I can't create a PDF from Word and get the correct fonts. I've seen quite a few messages on this forum and elsewhere indicating that other people have this problem, too. But I haven't found a solution. I've tried many things that are suggested--embed fonts, don't embed fonts, and different settings. Nothing seems to work. I've spent hours on this insted of doing the job I am paid for (writing). So I'd be very glad if anyone knows how to fix this.
A few specifics:
- Using Word 2010 and Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.3. Windows 64 bit.
- Most fonts are OK, but some appear to be substitutes. For example, some headings that are supposed to be Tahoma bold-italic come out as something different. It's a lighter weight font. I don't know what it is.
- Creation method from Word: Acrobat Tab, Create PDF or File > Save As PDF. Either way I get the wrong fonts.
- Print to Adobe PDF printer DOES produce the correct fonts, but this doesn't help because you don't get bookmarks (which are a critical part of our final PDF product).
- At one point it seemed that a Word setting, File > Options > Save > Preseve fidelty when sharing this document, but it didn't always work.
- I've seen this same problem on four computers, all using Word 2010 and Acrobat Pro XI.
Some messages suggest that rolling back to Acrobat 8 will solve this problem. It's hard to believe that's the only solution.

I was starting to think this might be an issue with font fauxing (I think that's the tech term). You've confirmed it.
Here's what can happen.
Font designers design a font, and (if they have the enthusiasm) bold and italic and bold-italic versions of the font. If you compare carefully, you will see that they are often quite different designs (look at lower case "a" for example, you'll often see that different in italic). Anyway, in an ideal world the font designer has provided four font files. Choose the bold/italic buttons in Word and it (well, actually Windows) picks the right font file.
But Word never forbids you from choosing those buttons even if the font files aren't there. (As an aside, pro design tools like InDesign WILL stop you choosing a style for which there is no font file, because what happens next in Word is considered evil).
If you ask Windows (or Mac OS) to show you a font in italic and there is no italic font file, it will take the regular file and slant each character. This may look different from the italic design font, it may also have different spacing. But to the casual word processor user, all is fine. (The pro designer says "oh my, look at that"). No bold? The font letters get thickened up somehow, often with ugly results, but the casual user is happy, because it's clearly the same font and clearly bolder. These processes are called "fauxing" (from making a faux or fake font).
But what happens in a PDF? PDFs will not faux fonts, and they don't have to. If you make a PDF it's like printing. To print a faux italic font, a slanted font prints. Generally looks no worse than the screen font. To print a faux bold font there are several different techniques, all ugly. One is to print several copies of each letter, slightly set off from each other but overlayed. This isn't only ugly, copy/paste often yields something like BBBOOOLLLDD TTTEEEXXXTTT. Often the printed bold faux font doesn't look much like the screen bold faux font. And here we have your situation exactly.
Now, I see only Tahoma and Tahoma-Bold on my computer too. You could see if anyone seels an Italic/BoldItalic version, or if they are bundled with some Microsoft software (which you'd need to own, the fonts can't be freely copied). But really this is sending the message - use a different font. I'd use Arial, where Windows has had all four files included since Windows 3.1 was released.

How do I convert from pdf to word? I see an option to do so, however, when I click on it, Ia box opens...

when I try to convert from pdf to word, a box opens and suggests I am to click on (select) the file I want to convert. It sounds all well but it does not work. I really really just want my files back in word, all of them, no matter, because after having to reinstall windows 7 (done by techs) and me having to re-download all my HP drivers, and tools, and other software, which I imagine included adobe reader, now I see some pdf files won't open. It says, "access denied" and boy that really makes me wantt o scream. I am the ONLY user, it is my notebook, I am the administrator so I can't figure out why some files open and some don't. I can't ascertain any difference.
I would be grateful for any help. This has become just too exhausting. After reinstalling sooooooooo much, then to have to go through this with what is a free application? I say I think not.
This should NEVER happen with any free application and boy there is NO help to be found. They blow you off the phone fast telling you it's a free application. Then why are you putting in this kind of stuff that it won't open? This is NOT a shared notebook, it's mine. I am the only user, personal use.
HP probook, if anyone needs that info.
Please, will someone help?
I would be so grateful.
thanks,
Gina

Gee, Pat, this is a real big help.
Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
Take Ownership of a File or Folder
The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
Thanks for the help. Have a great year.

How to save edit settings under preferrences to use when creating or printing a PDF from word 2003 Windows PC 8.1

I have tried to save my PDF settings after editing them, but when I go to "Print" to PDF and check the settings I keep getting Standard default settings.
There is no Adobe PDF listed as a file heading to change conversion settings on my Word screen.
I have tried to create a PDF by open file through the Adobe application and also by trying to print through the Word application with document open and using Adobe PDF as the printer driver.I have changed or edited the settings but they do not appear as an option to select, just the standard default settings.
I have been able to save my setting as a Adobe PDF job options, but can't access them or use them when it comes time to convert to PDF.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have apprached it 3 different ways:
- by opening acrobat and going to preferrences, clining on convert to PDf
- Microsoft Word, then changes each section of the edit settings, ie
general, fonts, images, etc make the cahneges then hit OK, at this point I
get a save as option rather than a save. It saves my changes as a PDF, but I
am not able to access it when I go to make the PDF.
- I also have tried to print PDF from Word and got to properties to make
the changs with the same results as above.
- Then I tried yur suggestion and went to the printer in the control panel
and had the same results.
I am using mircosoft word 2003 which has been compatable with my windows 8.1
I think the problem may be I am using a "trial" version of Adobe Acrotbat DC
2105 version. It must not belettingme save the setting changes.But this
shouldnot be if they want me to really experience the full effects of the
program.
I appreciate your help, thanks

Question re Create PDF from Word doc

Hi
I am trying to create a pdf from a Word document (Word 2007, Acrobat 8 Professional), and am having lots of trouble with images,fonts and document overhead. With the fonts, i generate the PDF by saying Create Pdf from the plugin in Word. I specify in the Preferences that fonts are not to be embedded. I then open the PDF and access PDF Optimiser -> Audit Space Usage, and it says that fonts take up like 20% of the document, however there are only like 10 lines of text in Arial (9pt), and 6 titles also in Arial (Bold). I dont understand why Font is taking up so much space considering that i have elected not to embed fonts (if i go to the Fonts section in the Optimiser, it shows both embedded and unembedded panes blank).
With the images, i have 2 jpegs in the footer, that are compressed (JPEG -> Low). The other thing i am struggling with is the headers and footers, if i generate the PDF from the Word doc with Headers/Footers, then images take up over 15% of the document. Not sure if there is a way to add headers and footers within minimum impact of filesize? I have tried checking everything in the 3 categories of Dicard Objects, Discard User data and Clean Up. but the Document Overhead remains at 35%.
What else can i do to get these filesizes reduced?I have been researching this for days and have not come across anything that has helped.I have tried to PDF print, i have changed the font to like Courier, ensured no thumbnails or bookmarks, ensured JPEGs are not embedded in the doc, tried Save As, Save As under a different filename - basically anthing you can find on the net i have found and tried, but still cant fix this!!!! please, if anyone knows acrobate 8 better than me / or knows what the problem is, please advise????
Thanks very much.

The colors and size in a graphic needs to be done in a graphics editor. What type of editor would depend on the use of vector graphics versus bitmap. Sometimes vector graphics are larger than bitmaps if you are using a lot of lines that would display better as just a splotch of color. Such are the variations between vector and bitmap graphics, but important if you are looking for size reduction. For a bitmap, I would do the sizing and color depth with IrfanView, but you should be able to do that with PhotoShop if you have it. Vector graphics can be adjusted in Illustrator. The size of vector graphics is not an issue since they are scalable, but the size of a bitmap is important since your are looking at individual pixels and that depends on size. The point is that if you can adjust the color depth and size for the desired pixel resolution, the bitmap is optimized for the conversion to PDF from WORD.
As I mentioned, the smallest file size job options should minimize font storage in the PDF. Checking with the PDF Optimizer does not always give you all of the fonts. I am not sure why. It is better to check the font tab in the document properties to see what has been embedded. There is a preflight macro to embed fonts, you might check to see if there is one to delete fonts (I have not checked on that). Sometimes you can play with the reprint of a PDF, but that is not an option that is generally recommended, particularly if you have any tagging or such. Of course, tagging can really bloat a PDF, but is needed for a variety of reasons such as format for saving back to WORD (not a great workflow), accessability, and related issues. In another topic, there is some discussion of the purposes of tagging and bookmarks. However, the tags and bookmarks take space if that is really an issue for you. The latter are avoided if you use the print to the Adobe PDF printer and do not use PDF Maker in the PDF creation process. Again, there is a trade-off here in terms of size and functionality, particularly accessibility compliance.
Not sure I am helping as I run on, but sort what might be useful for you.

Edit document that was converted from PDF to Word Doc.

How do I edit a document that I converted from a PDF to a word document????? When I open my now "Word Document" it does not allow me to edit the text.

Bill, The PDF came from a scanning of a Word document, but my office did not produce the PDF and I don't know exactly how the original Word document was scanned, whether OCR was engaged at that stage, etc., but the select tool in Adobe Reader leads to the cross-hairs on the PDF. We are working without AA, and I was trying to convert the PDF back to an editable Word document through ExportPDF, with which I thought I had had some success in the past in similar circumstances (converting an image PDF back to an editable Word document). With this document, the conversion back to Word through ExportPDF has led to an uneditable Word document with text in image frames whether OCR is on or off in the PDF to Word conversion effort... and if there is a way to remove the frames in Word, but keep the text, I haven't "re"figured it out yet. For instance, triple clicking doesn't seem to do anything.
On this particular document, we've gone back to the old fashioned way of retyping the page that has the error in it ... and sticking it back in the document. (It also would have been smarter timewise for me in this case to have spent more time on tracking down the preceding Word document.)
Was I missing something in the conversion process from scanned image PDF to Word document with edit capabilities? Thanks!

Displaying PDF and Word Document

Hi,
I have used the methods to display HTML :
1. Link to Action and the IFrame -> The Result was the html file I was able to display in the same window.
2. Link to URL -> The Result was html file opened in different window.
3.IFrame and attaching the file in project -> it was resulted in html file getting dispalyed in IFrame.
Now if I want to extend the functionality for PDF or word document, is the procedure same or different
Can anyone enlighten me on this
Any thoughts on this.
Thanks in Advance
Srikant

Hi srikant,
You can also display word documents and pdf by uploading it in the server.
For this you'll have to create aliases in the server for the corressponding documents that you want to uploaad.
Go to visual admin ->services->httpprovider.
Then click the tab 'aliases'. Here you can give the name of your alias and also the document to which the alias should point(first upload the document to the server machine and then give the path here ) .
Now when you type http://server:port/aliasname your document will open in the browser. You can display it either through your iFrame or linktourl as you prefer.
Hope my effort will help you.
Regards,
Rahul.

Can't create PDFs from Word due to Cambria font. Help.

I'm using win 7 32 bit office 2010 acrobat pro 9. I can't create pdfs from word because of problems with cambria. I've ttried all the fixes I can find but none worked. Any more ideas?
[thread title updated by moderator]

How are you trying to create the PDF? With AA9 you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the MS plugin.
When you say you cannot create PDFs because of Cambria, what error messages are you getting and copy them here? At this point we really do not know what you are having problems with or how you are trying to create PDFs.
In the future, please provide a topic to help folks that are stepping through all of the posts. A blank topic almost led me to simply skip your post.
