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.

  • If I convert a PDF file to a Microsoft Word file can I delete pictures from the converted file

    If I convert  PDF file to a Microsoft Word file can I delete pictures from the converted file?

    Hi sutterrot,
    After a successful conversion from PDF to Word, you need to download the converted file locally on your computer.
    You can then choose 'Enable Editing' button and then delete images/text or make other changes.

  • Word to Pages translation crash EXE SEGVS:I uses Pages and a colleague uses Word. When he send me a document and I open it, the document crashes and I get the EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) MESSAGE.  Bad Accesss at 00000006574785.  What's up? message

    As in the heading, my problem arises when using pages to opening documents my colleague, working in Word, sends me. I get the crash message set out above.  This only happens with this particular document, even after we unformatted it, saved at as RTF then reformatted it again (I realize these issues may be unrelated).
    Any suggestions appreciated.

    There is obviously something in that document that is corrupt, perhaps a font. A couple of things to try would be to open it in TextEdit or an Office clone such as LibreOffice.

  • 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.

  • Creating TOC Bookmarks in a PDF created from Microsoft Word

    Does anyone know how to modify PDF creation settings so that bookmarks are automatically set from the Table of Contents in the PDF version of a Microsoft Word document? This is possible in Windows using word and Acrobat Pro. But it's not automatic in the OSX-resident PDF creator and I can't find any way to modify preferences. I'm using Word 2004 (11.3.5) for Mac. Thanks!
    iMac 21" Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro on PC.
    Of course, I have done all the steps you mention,  but I wanted someone to confirm me if these setting values are correct in order to obtain the best results. I repeat the paragraph of my previous discussion that I want to clarify, just in case some of you can help me, mainly about optimization
    I digitalized the document from the scanner. This scanner is installed in the net, so I personalized the settings in Acrobat and I chose memory mode instead of native mode.
    Mode color: black on white
    Resolution: 600 ppp
    As you say in your mail, I understand I should choose ClearScan OCR not searchable just at this moment.
    Well, and what about the options of optimization?, JBIG2 (without lost)?, 4 CCITT?
    And filters?, I have: activated, low, activated, medium
    Are these values congruous or compatible?
    Thank you

  • Acrobat 9.5, file corruption when combining .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document

    In Acrobat 9, when I combine .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document, there is data corruption. Some of the text appears as blank boxes when the pages are inserted into the larger .pdf, the main document. I have so far solved this by "printing" the files to .pdf, and then inserting them into the larger .pdf main document, but this creates a fatter .pdf file that is much larger than would otherwise be the case. Are there any other solutions within Acrobat 9, please? If this bug has been solved in Acrobat X or XI, please advise. Thanks.

    As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
    As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
    Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

    Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

  • When I convert a PDF to a Word doc, it "converts" as a picture and I cannot edit the document. What can I do to get the PDF to convert properly?

    When I convert a PDF to a Word doc, it "converts" as a picture and I cannot edit the document. What can I do to get the PDF to convert properly?

    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!
    Best,

  • Using a PC; converting a Word 2010 document to PDF; upon completion the PDF document has a dark and/or patterned background; I have tried "removing" the background but that has not worked.

    Can someone help me remove what appears to be a 'background' that is created when converting a Word 2010 doc to a PDF format.  I am using the 'save as' method and selecting PDF as the file type.  I have used this method for over a year and have just had this "background" problem today.  It is not happening on all documents; so far it's just happened on 2 resumes but not on the accompanying cover letters which I think is very odd.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Sara –
    I’ve attached the converted documents so you can see what I mean.  The Word document was not shaded in these ways; it was just a white background…or no background at all.
    I don’t know if these were created from scanned documents.
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

    Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
    thank you

    Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
    Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
    It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
    How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
    How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
    How will the script recognize the year of publication?
    For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
    Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
    Best of luck.

    Barry
