POI Reading Microsoft Word 2003 docs

Anybody having success reading Microsoft Word 2003 documents using POI? I just tried it for the first time today. I've got a compound document with lots of pages and an embedded Excel spreadsheet. POI found seven DocumentEntries, but the bytes I extract are gibberish when I print them. Any advice? Thanks - %

The WordDocument that once was part of POI no longer appears.
I have been able to get something out of POI, but it's not 100% useable. So I went and downloaded OpenOffice.org's SDK. I think it's even more convoluted and unusable.

Printing microsoft word 2003 document and pdf created from the document are different

I created a microsoft word 2003 document with jpg pictures and printed it on my HP Inkjet printer. I then created a pdf by saving as a pdf from the microsoft word 2003 document. The settings for images were 300 dpi and zip compression. The pdf file created was ~3 MB whereas the word document was ~250 KB. It looked fine on the screen but when I printed it the jpg pictures from the pdf were very dark and not very desirable. When I printed it on my HP Color laser 2600n printer I couldn't see the difference in the jpg pictures.
I am creating the pdf files to send to the online publisher lulu.com to print. I have used the settings to create the pdf they recommend from their website; however they aren't real clear in the information they give for the recommended settings.
My question is why would the print out be so awful using the HP Color Ink Jet printer since it is very good for printing pictures?

There are many reasons, but most revolve around the color space and coding for the colors. Acrobat uses 8 bit RGB.

Making non-standard size pdfs from Microsoft Word 2003 on pc

I have Acrobat 8 Professional (pc, Windows XP op system), and want to know how to make a pdf from Microsoft Word (2003) where the dimensions of my document remain as they are, a non-standard size, such as 5.5" x 8.5". All the choices of "paper size" are standard only, and if I check "Custom" and type in the non-standard dimensions, it doesn't work. In other programs, such as InDesign, I can make a pdf of any document size I want with no problems. Does anyone know how to make this work for Word on pc?

You can create a custom page size for Acrobat.
In Word:
File > Print (choose AdobePDF) > Properties.
On the Adobe PDF Document Properties tab, choose Add next to Adobe PDF Page Size.
Type in a name for your new custom page size and type in your dimensions.
Click Add/Modify to close that window, then select your newly created paper size from the drop down.
Click Ok to close that window
Click OK to print
For future printing, you would not have to redefine the page, just choose it from the dropdown.

Unable to convert my word 2003 doc to a pdf

I am unable to convert my word 2003 doc to a pdf - comes up unable to find reader 7.0

I think from memory there might be two issues:
- check that the word and excel mimetypes have been added
- check that Word & Excel are installed on the print server.
Cheers, Iain

Converting Word 2003 doc to Adobe pdf loses some text

Please help! I have printed up two sets of reports for a total of 123 pdfs. I have just now discovered that
two lines of text at the top of a page were not printed when converting the Word 2003 doc to the Adobe 9 pro pdf using batch sequences. Examining the fonts in the Word doc before printing showns them to be no different than text printed before or after. If not converting the entire doc, just printing the one problem page using file/print, it prints the missing text.
I'm using the same conversion settings, have unchecked 'rely on system fonts only.'
I'm attaching a page where the two lines are missing ('badpage'), and the page where the two are printed ('page3').
Can anyone shed some light on this? I will have to try to fix this by using another batch sequence to delete the faulty page and insert the correct page, but I would like to know how to fix the problem for the next time.
Thank you.

It appears that you printed to the Adobe PDF printer from WORD.
You might find the problem resolved if you updated from AA9.0.0, though you may have and that is just the Distiller version. The early versions typically have problems. If you update, be sure to install the updates in order and do not try to skip over updates unless an update specifically says cummulative.
Apparently the two processes you use are different (as asked by the other post) and that is likely the issue. However, the one with the missing lines has all fonts embedded. The other one does not, and also uses additional fonts. It appears that one process may be using PDF Maker, though normally that would be indicated in the metadata and is not indicated as such. So, giving us more information about the process that you selected for creating the PDF in both cases may give us the info we need to help.

OfficeJet 4110 Using Microsoft Word 2003

The printer is attached to computer with USB; trying to print sheets of labels using Microsoft Word 2003 mailing merge.
It will only print 1 address on 1 label at a time.
How do I set the printer to print a sheet of labels with different addresses on each label?
Thank you!

As I stated in my previous post, I reverted back to Adobe 7 on the computer
I use every day, but I apologize for not mentioning another alternative. I
still needed the ability to read Adobe 9 files that I could not open with
Adobe 7 and I still needed the ability to complete fillable PDFs that would
not fill with Adobe 7, so instead of requesting a refund (which you already
know is a pain in the behind), I installed Adobe 9 on a newer computer at my
office that is running Windows 7. For some reason, the problems with MS Word
2003 do not occur when running Adobe 9 in Windows 7 environment. So, when I
have an Adobe file I cannot read or fill, I have the person who uses that
computer, read or fill that Adobe file for me. I did not upgrade to Windows
7 on the computer I use every day because "Act! for Advisors" which I use
for my work is not very compatible with Windows 7 unless I upgraded that
program, too. I don't know about you, but I avoid upgrading my operating
system until I absolutely have to because the transition has always been
very time consuming and quite an ordeal for me.

Saving from Windows Microsoft Word 2003 and ACL !

hi
the situation:
If I save directly from the Word to a Network-drive I get a strange behaviour of the ACL's !
the file get added ACL 'Users' and an other 'Everyone' the from the parent folder inherited ACL tbsxuser will be tripled !
If I copy the same file from the desktop to the Network-drive the behaviour is like expect !
OSX Server 10.5.5
WIN XP SP2
Microsoft Word 2003 SP3
any solution for that

Hi!
I have the same problem with Office 2007. On a share I have set ACL "Domain Users Read/Write" to propagate to all directories. The POSIX rights are set to "rw" for owner/group/others. When I save an Excel file to the shared directory, the following happens:
- POSIX rights are all turned off to none
- the creator, Users, and Everyone will get ACL entries (read/write, read only, and read-only)
- Domain Users ACL is present 4 times
After the next save the Domain Users ACL is present 10 times, one more time and there are 22 entries.
It is clearly a problem with Office. Notepad doesn't change the file permissions. I have not yet tried different locking settings. Currently both strict and oportunistic locks are set on.
Also I'd like to add that this strange behaviour happens both on 10.5.6 and 10.4.11, I just tested this.
I think it would be good to be able to see if the same happens on a Windows Server share but I need to figure out how to test it. File Properties in Windows Explorer doesn't show multiple ACLs even though Mac Server Admin shows they are there.

Importing Word 2003 docs into RH7 HTML

I imported Word 2003 docs into RH7 for HTML and they looked
fine in the WYSIWYG window. However, when I preview the topics in
the Browser, I get HTML code for a dash, quotes and other
characters. It is an incredibly tedious process to try to search
and replace the HTML code in each document. Is this typical of Word
or Word 2003 docs that are imported into HTML, or is this a RH bug?
Does anyone have any suggestions of how to resolve the issue?
Thanks

Be sure you've downloaded all three RH7 patches (7.0.1,
7.0.2, 7.0.3).
I think 0.2 is the one that fixed these symbols, but install
each of them, in order.
Good luck,
Leon

E-mail document from Microsoft Word 2003

I am not able to compose a document in Microsoft Word 2003 and e-mail it from there. The format is available and so is the send button. The message is just not sent.

I now use Verizon wireless rather than cable. Do you think the problem may be with Verizon?
Nope. There would be no difference there.
Do you have Outlook 2003 as well as Word 2003?
Do you use it or Windows Mail for your email?
Whichever it is, set that as the default. See this Microsoft page.
Change which programs Windows uses by default

I work with clients who use Microsoft Word and have the Office 2007 versions. I have Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac. Do I need to buy new software or is there a free update that would allow me to read these files?
Thanks for any help and advice!

Is there any way to import word document and process like that above?
I have searched about this, and found out 'Jakarta POI' can access to word document but with many restrictions. (I heard it doesn't support word version 2003 and 97)
Can any one please answer this?
Thankx

I'm not really sure that java is the best language to use for this particular project. I haven't looked into writing a standalone application to do this sort of thing, but Microsoft Word has a built in VB editor that allows you to write scripts that will do this very simply, using Word's Document Object Model.
I would imagine the same sort of the thing could be done from a Stand-alone aplication as well, but you might need some libraries for reading the document and obtaining the object with the same model. I would look into Microsoft's .net solutions for this one. You might even be able to work out a solution in C++, C#, or even J# (which I understand is "similar" to java), if you don't know visual basic.
It is possible that there is a library out there that will read a Word Document, and create the appropriate Java object with the same object model, but I don't know where it can be found.
Anyway, if the option is available to you, take a look at Microsoft's .Net. You'll probably have more luck that way. Good Luck!

Is Acrobat Standard 10 incompatible with Windows Microsoft Word 2003, v 11.8?

An Acrobat Add-In has to be disabled for me to open a Word file. If the Add-In is disabled I cannot create a .pdf. The error dialog box attributes the problem to a runtime error due to program c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\winword exe. An associated dialog box says that Runtime is shutting down Adobe Acrobat 10 early because the security is too high. But putting Word Macro Security setting on medium and then on low doesn't help. Nor does telling a Microsoft security box that Adobe.com is a trusted site. I have spent critical hours trying to fix this, without result. I would appreciate whatever help I can get. I didn't have any trouble creating .pdf files with Acrobat 9. Tks. DWI.

Word 2003 is compatible with the PDF Maker macro for Acrobat X Std. What OS are you running? Have you tried to load the PDF Maker macro manually?
Exit all programs.
Select Tools > Customize, and click the Commands tab.
Click Tools in the Categories panel.
Drag COM Add-ins from the Commands panel to the Tools menu while holding down the mouse button. When the Tools menu displays the menu commands, drag COM Add-ins just below the Customize option, and then release the mouse button.
Click Close.
Click COM Add-ins on the Tools menu.
Click Add, locate the add-in (the PDFMaker Add-in is at [Acrobat Installation Path]\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddIn.dll), and click OK.
Press Alt+F11 to start the Visual Basic Editor.
Press Ctrl+G to start the Immediate Window of Visual Basic Editor.
To start PDFMaker in Word, type Application.COMAddIns("PDFMaker.OfficeAddin").Connect = True. Close the Visual Basic Editor.
Verify that the Adobe PDF menu now appears to the right of Help on the Microsoft Word menu bar.
Also, renaming the global template file, Normal.dot, sometimes helps resolve the issue. There are instructions at the bottom of this article from Microsoft that explain how to do this.

Microsoft Word 2003 Conflict

I installed Adobe Standard 9 this weekend and it appears to be conflicting with Microsoft Word. I can no longer double-click on a Word file to open it, I can move the cursor in Word document using the left button on my mouse, and I can no longer highlight text in a Word document using the left button on my mouse. I can still move the cursor and highlight text using the arrow keys. There were some Microsoft security updates that I installed about the same day, but I have uninstalled those with no effect. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Thanks.
