Portrait/landscape orientation from MS Word to .pdf

I just converted my first Word document to a .pdf with Adobe.com Air. The Word doc was created in a portrait orientation, but the .pdf
came out in a landscape orientation. Can't figure out how to correct?

The original was an MS Word document (.doc) created with page set up for portrait orientation. It shows and prints
in portrait orientation. I converted to a .pdf on Adobe.com and the pdf file was in landscape. When the pdf is viewed (previewed?)
on Adobe.com, it appears in landscape. It is a one page document and was never saved to any other format. Since the original Word
document is in the correct format, how would I alter the formating to re-upload and convert again? I have attached both the .doc & .pdf files.

Default Windows live email stopped working does not allow email to be sent from MS Word or pdf

I have routinely been able to send email from MS Word and Power Point and pdf files.
Internet explorer does not allow me to send a message.. and there was not que for

Hello noelchristmas,
I want to make sure I clearly understand the issue you are experiencing. You are trying to send an email through Internet Explorer through yoru Windows Live email program and it's not working?
However, Word, PDF, and Powerpoint files work fine.
What version of Internet Explorer are you using? What happens when you try to send email? Can you possibly walk me through a step by step explanation of what is going on?

Subreports - Portrait, Landscape orientation. Is it possible?

Post Author: JamesM
CA Forum: General
I want to put a few subreports into a single master report but I'm having difficulty as some need to be orientated in the landscape format and some in portrait. The trouble is that when you import the subreport the orientation gets changed to that of the master report. Has anyone come across a solution? Thanks.

Hi James,
I ran into this problem today, too. Unfortunately, I haven't found any way to do it natively within Crystal Reports. In .NET, you can programatically change page orientation to make it work, but not in any other version. There is some third-party software available that may be able to do it, though. I have not used it, however. Feel free to look at: Visual CUT from Millet Software http://www.milletsoftware.com/Visual_CUT.htm .

Annotations made in Preview to PDFs created from MS Word corrupts PDF

In Preview, when I save annotations to PDFs created from an MS Word document, the PDF seems to be corrupted. Searching in the PDF no longer shows any results, and text copied from the PDF is displayed as a series of meaningless characters when pasted into a note annotation, or pasted into another file (e.g. a TextEdit file). So for example, "the monitoring of progress" becomes ")@%8,1),&12%,=%4&,2&//" when copied and pasted.
Is there any way to prevent PDFs from being corrupted in this way, or to restore the PDF so that searching and copying work correctly?

I suspect this is a problem with M$ failing to handle PDF files correctly. I would suggest you ask your question over on the M$ forums instead of here.

Portrait/landscape orientation filter

Is it possible to search exif data to locate all images shot portrait and all images shot landscape?

In the search HUD you can bring up Other Metadata>Orientation, but it searches by the current orientation, not the orientation as-shot.

Create one pdf from excel, word, and pdf files

I'm trying to create a single document to distribute (digitally and printable) for a meeting.
And I'm an Acrobat Pro beginner. :-(
The files to be included are in pdf, MS Word and MS Excel.
What is the best way to do this?
I don't know if I use Portfolio which I tried but then each file apparently needs to be Extracted to be viewed. Not what I want. I want series of files separated by a heading.
Maybe I need to convert all files first to pdf and then combine in one pdf file but maybe there is a simpler way.
Appreciate any tips from the experts.
Thank you.

How to show content from microsoft word and pdf on a page

Hi,
I have a microsoft word file stored in content repository and I want to show it in web page. When I drag and drop it using content presenter it shows file as a link with some extra details like created by, last modified by etc. I want content to appear in UI page itself. Content of document should get converted to html at runtime and then appear in UI. Is it possible?
Thanks
Sanjeev

Sanjeev,
I see you have as similar requirement you posted in the thread here :
Skipping ucm login form when showing content on webcenter application.
InBound Refinery (IBR) would be the easiest way to accomplish this though.
Once you have IBR installed and configured (you need to pick what formats need to be converted in the refinery, and in your case, choose MS Office formats),
You can use the document viewer taskflow to render PDF versions of your Word/Excel or PDF documents on a webcenter page. There is little to no setup required for this, beyond configuring IBR (but configuring IBR is fairly involved) and selecting what MIME types you want IBR to process.
Another thing to watch out for if you are using Spaces is, make sure you set the context root for UCM properly though EnterpriseManger.
Dynamic Converter can also be used to get similar results. You mention that you are using an Iframe, that means the client is making a request to UCM directly, and to avoid re-authenticating there, you should have SSO enabled. With Dynamic converter, you can use a URL of the form :
http:// +<host>:<port>+ / +<context_root>+ /idcplg?IdcService=GET_DYNAMIC_CONVERSION&dDocName= +<docID>+ &RevisionSelectionMethod=LatestReleased
To get an HTML rendition of that document.
Hope it helps !

How do I change print orientation from landscape to portrait in OS X 10.10.3 with a Epson Workforce printer?

I tried changing the value in print.print.orientation from zero to one; and then from one to zero -- restarting each time. Neither works. I cannot explain how this problem occurred since I had been printing in portrait. When I fo to print in FF the print dialogue box shows a horizontal page with a number one in it. I cannot change this. There is no landscape/portrait choice area to select. I can print in portrait in Word.

Thanks for your reply. The "details" choices that appear are: Options, Appearance, Frames, Page Headers, Page Footers. Next to Options are 2 choices: Print Selection Only which is grayed out and cannot be selected & Ignore Scaling...etc. which can be selected. No where do I see a portrait/landscape orientation choice. Should I reinstall FF?

Trouble with Bookmarks from Word to PDF

Use Windows 7; Office 2007; Acrobat Pro 9.0.0
Problem: Word document has numbered scheme, with blue font to signify a link in resultant pdf. Set
Preferences to capture level 1 and 2 for bookmarks in pdf. Create PDF. Resultant pdf doesn't hold the blue font from within Word.
Pdf is all in black. Bookmarks are sometimes renumbered; i.e. A1, B2, etc. instead of 1., 2., etc. Bulleted list has different symbol font applied. Why?

Hi,

Why do Certain fonts change when I convert to PDF from Microsoft word? They start out 60s chic and end up as a standard font.

Why do some fonts change when converted from Microsoft word to PDF? It starts out as 60s chic and changes to standard font.

Related to the question, I suspect you have licensed fonts that cannot be embedded. Thus, the PDF is using what it is finding to be an equivalent as well as it can guess. Did you check the font list in the PDF?

Word 2007 mail merge : problem with mixed portrait and landscape orientations

Hi there,
I have a 3 pages document Word 2007 file
This is a mail merge I want to export in PDF using Adobe Acrobat Printer,
then send "big" PDF to printing.
page 1 is PORTRAIT
page 2 is PORTRAIT
page 3 is LANDSCAPE
In PDF pages 1 and 2 are perfectly fine, inside an A4 format (width=210 height=297mm or something)
but for page 3, system changed to a "double" sized page (A3 width=297 height=420) and printed my stuff at the 1st top middle of big page.
So I have a big "double" sheet, oriented PORTRAIT, with my stuff in 1st half, and a blank in 2nd half.
It seems that system did not rotate the page... and just put the stuff into a bigger sheet to "solve" at best.
I would like the same size of paper (A4) but in landscape : width=297 height=210
I have already seen many PDF with mixed portrait and landscape orientations, so what's the thing ?
With my advanced thanks,
And greetings from Paris, France !

Some questions:
Which version of office were you using before? 2003?
Are the data files on a network, or on your local machine? If they are on a network, can you make a copy of one of them on your local machine and try again?
Can you open the files directly in Excel? What extension do they have (.xls, or something else?) I am wondering whether access to other file types has been left blocked on your machine but is allowed on your colleague's machine.
Are you just opening the mail merge main document and seeing this message? If so, do you see the same thing if you start with a new document and try to connect to one of these data sources?
Can you confirm that the message is about Access even though you are trying to connect to an Excel file?
(Also, office 2007 has some new stuff - that let's you specify that certain folders are "trusted" . I don't think that ever affected MailMerge but it may be as well to make sure that your documents and data sources are in trusted locations).
Also worth trying to start Word in "Safe mode" - see, e.g. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/work-with-office-safe-modes-HP010140792.aspx

Defining horizontal in page orientation from Portrait to Landscape.

"Adobe Acrobat XI"
I have a PDF with 11 x 17 inch landscape pages in the middle of several standard 8.5 x 11 portrait pages. When copy pasting form fields, from the 8.5 x 11 pages in the same PDF, it auto rotates the fields on the 11 x 17 pages assuming they are side ways when in fact they are not. Even things like arrange fields horizontally/vertically are reversed on the 11x17 pages.
I have tried rotating & extracting them and editing them separately to no effect.
I have over 100 fields and objects on each page. Re-sizing, repositioning, and adjusting the settings on each field is too tedious. There has to be away to adjust the settings so that landscape pages 6&7 of my PDF read as horizontal.
How do I adjust the setting so it reads the 11 x 17 landscape pages as horizontal? If horizontal can not be set then how do I prevent the fields from rotating when I past them?

What I am going to suggest is not normally recommended. I would do it on copies. If you have bookmarks and such on the 11X17 pages, they will be lost. Try it first on just one of the 11X17 pages.
1. Print that page to a new PDF (be sure it has the proper orientation in the print process and is not rotated after the fact).
2. Use replace pages to insert the new page back into the original location.
That may resolve the issue. For some reason, Acrobat retains the original orientation info and seems to tie the form fields to that orientation. This extra step may redefine the orientation for you, but I am not sure. Worth a try anyway, and it might give you one solution to your problem.

Landscape oriented PDF prints only in Portrait mode

I have a reporting application which displays to the user reports in PDF, some of them are in landscape orientation, but when the user prints the reports, they are fitted (shrunk) into a portrait orientation page. This is happening with Firefox 19 and the new embedded PDF viewer. Is there a way to resolve this problem?
Thanks!

I'm not asking for compensation I was making a point.
A lot of the modern world rely on the internet and the tools provided to access it.
A lot of company who have customers use the web to communicate or work with them, they sell applications or offer services based on the web technologies, they rely on the browsers used by their customers but can't impose them. So we rely on the seriousness of the browser regarding compliance to standards.
I always trusted Mozilla and Firefox to be leaders in this field.
I think that nonetheless the EULA we have right to have a compliant products so when a functionality replace without the will of the customer a working functionality it will 1) be compliant with the standard, 2) work as or better the element it replace. That is not the case with PDF.js.
A lot of browser users are not used with tweaking parameters or settings to get back to something which was working.
But be real PDF.js is not providing the services it's made for, it's a wor in progress ok! but it's a default feature, not a choice, and it breaks sites or applications functionalities that was working before it, that just my point. My PDF are working just fine with the acrobat reader plugin (for 3 years) and yes I'm upset because every thing was working and clients are now complaining that it does not work anymore. It's like with IE for ten years we are forced to find work arounds. The difference is that IE never worked like it should so we never trusted it but we trusted Firefox, which seems to be becoming less reliable.
Have I the power to easily switch all the applications users to a more PDF compliant browser I will.

Why are my apps changing when i change the orientation from landscape to portrait

Recently, on my ipad mini retina, when i change the orientation from landscape to portrait, the apps change. For example, when i enter a game like impossible and change to landscape to play it and then exit the screen has shifted to either the right or left and shows the first line of the next pages apps. Its kind of like when im in the middle of changing from one page to another but it only changes back to normal when i tough the screen. Im not sure if this has anything to do with the new 7.1 ios but it is becoming really annoying

I know it is not a specific app problem because it happens when i come out of some of my apps, it doesnt happen all of the time, only sometimes. Also if any of you could help me with another issue with the same device, when i connect to wifi/hotspot i get static on the screen, it is very noticable when i show a dark picture or a large amount of the screen is a dark colour but i wanted to know if this was normal with the ipad mini retina. I have seen discussions about this device having problems connecting to wifi but i havent found any discussions on this. Does anyone know could cause this?
