Poor quality when "shortcut" converting DOC - PDF Windows 7

Hi,
The products involved arr Adobe acrobat X Standard, Word 2010 and Windows 7.
We have a problem with converting DOC to PDF. If we use the right click shortcut on a DOC file the quality gets all messed up but if we open it in Word and then choose print with Adobe PDF printer the quality gets the expected Distiller printer option (High quality).
//Kim

I had seen this conflicting settings, but only now dug deeper to verify; this make no sense, from a development or usage situation.
From the PDF Printer properties,
The General tab has a Printing Perferences sub menu - I typically set my preference from that route.
The Advanced tab has a Printing Defaults sub menu with a dialog identicle to the Preferences dialog, but the Default setting may be other than that used in the Printing Preferences...
Change your setting in Advanced > Printing Defaults

    Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows  Word Program.  I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.

    Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
    When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...

  • When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

    Hi Janedance1,
    If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
    Please let us know how it goes.

    Hi conversionnewbie,
    Are you able to select the text in Word by triple-clicking inside the text box? (Sometimes text selections can be tricky in converted files.) If you can't select the text, then I'm guessing that the PDF was created from a scanned file (so the text becomes images). Make sure that OCR is enabled when you convert the file to Word. OCR is enabled by default in the ExportPDF web interface, but can be disabled in Adobe Reader. If you're converting to Word from within Adobe Reader, make sure that OCR is enabled and that the correct language is selected:
    Please let us know that works for you!

  • Why is the text garbled when I convert a pdf file to  microsoft word ?

    Why is the text garbled when I convert a pdf file to  microsoft word ?

    Hi amedah,
    Could you please try converting any other PDF file with same fonts and then check.
    It might also happen due to use of some poor fonts which result in garbled text.
    Is the PDF scanned?
    Let me know.

  • Hi when i convert a pdf to word I get a inccorect conversion, can any one please help me

    hi when I convert a pdf to word document I get a inccorect conversion, can any one please help me

    Hey nikolays87340013,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Please let me know what version of Adobe Reader you are using.
    You might need to check for updates as well as repair installation from Reader Help menu.
    While converting scanned PDF into Word, OCR runs automatically and its quality largely depends upon the quality of scanned images and clarity of characters in the PDF.
    Please try the same conversion online after signing in at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" and check if the conversion quality varies.
    Let me know.

  • When I convert my PDFs into docs they are unreadable, formatting is messed up

    When I convert my PDFx into docs they are unreadable and formatting is messed up.
    Why pay $22 for a product that does not work?
    Can this situation be remedied; how can I make it work?

    The only thing that comes close is ExportPDF at $19.99 (with tax that could be about right) but it's an online subscription.
    If that turns out to be what you have you'll want to take this to the ExportPDF forum rather than here.
    It's at http://forums.adobe.com/community/exportpdf
    Good luck.

  • Poor quality when uploaded to youtube, etc.

    My iMovie videos look great on my monitor. However when I upload them to video sites like Youtube, Google videos, Viddler, etc, the resulting video quality is very poor. I've submitted them as .avi, mp4, quicktime. Doesn't make any difference; they all turn out looking bad.
    Is there a way to correct this?

    Is there a way to correct this?
    Not totally. You may, however, be able to improve the quality but, in the end, you are simply limited to the quality that is compatible with the rather low data rates used by such sites when they convert your files to FLV for display. Basically, you are submitting a file from iMovie '08 as either a "Mobile" (a 480 width clip targeted at 1.0 Mbps) or "Medium" (640 width clip at 1.7 Mbps) and YouTube scales it down to a 320 width clip with a total data rate between 0.10 Mbps and 0.35 Mbps which is probably selected automatically depending on the actual length and quality of your submission.
    I'm not a YouTube user, but my general advice would be to keep your submissions short to maximize "headroom" during the conversion process. (I.e., don't submit a max duration or high data rate clip since it simply means that YouTube will have to discard a higher percentage of your data during the transcoding process to Sorenson H.264/MP3 making the visual differences between your submitted source file and the FLV file even more obvious to your eyes.)
    Also, here is an article you might find interesting to read: Encoding for YouTube Using Compressor
    My personal advice would be to upload files in a better quality compression format to a personal web site if you really want to control the quality of your output display.

  • Very poor quality when exporting slideshow

    I am using a Canon 5D, and when I view the images in Full screen. They are gorgeous. I created a slideshow. When I play the slideshow in Aperture - again they are gorgeous and crisp, however when I export these images to a Quicktime movie they look blurry - almost like they were taken with a regular point and shoot.
    I have selected Export > HD 720p
    I understand that slideshows are generated from previews, so I went to Aperture > Preferences > Previews and selected Photo Preview > Don't limit & for Photo Preview Quality I selected 12 (high).
    I kept the 2 selections that were there on default selected (these are: new projects automatically generate previews, and use embedded JPEG from camera whenever possible)
    Then I selected all of the images in the slideshow, and when I right clicked and selected "Update Previews" I received the message saying that the previews were already up to date. I exported the slideshow - and the quality was still poor.
    I then tried to update the previews from the items in the individual libraries themselves instead of selecting the images in the Slideshow (hoping that would make a difference), and tried to update the previews. But I got the same error.
    What am I missing? Why am I seeing excellent quality when I preview the slideshow when I click the Full Screen play button - but when I export it to 720p HD it looks horrendous.
    Please help!

    FTF you need to hold down the alt key when selecting the images and choose generate preview. The update preview option maintains previous settings. Using alt/option creates a new preview.
    Second HD720p is still significantly below the resolution of your display so the images will look softer.
    But try the previews first and post back.

  • When I convert a PDF to Word it fails....

    Using Trial version of Acrobat Pro 11.0.0 on a Macbook Retina Pro Mid 2012 on Mavericks 10.9.3
    Ive tried using the Tools box and the File menu to convert a PDF file to a Word document but each time it fails.
    The pop window says "Save as failed to process this document. No file was created."
    Ive watched the videos and can't see any different ways of doing this.@
    The pdf file is 787.5MB as it includes media and type and is the basis for a book i wish to upload, but I need to make some adjustments.
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Hi karenta,
    Can you please tell me what the exact error message is?
    Do you know how the PDF file was created (what application created it)? Are you able to convert other PDF files?
    Please tell us a bit more about the document that you're trying to convert.
    In the meantime, you try clearing the browser cache, or using a different web browser.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
