Printing of Excel graph in Word to pdf file gives scrambled graph.

Dear All,
This question is related to my other (solved) question of today: "Print transparent object in Word to pdf and then to printer ugly.". I didn't know how to reopen a question.
The problem I have is that I pasted a graph from excel into word. When printing to a printer of pdf file all is ok, but when I use the PDF button in word I have get a scrambled graph with the graph line zigzagging all over the place of the graph. When pasting the graph as bitmap it have very poor resolution. Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks,
Vincent

There may also be an issue with OFFICE 2007. I have been very disappointed in OFFICE 2007 and really prefer OFFICE 2003, not that I really use OFFICE much anyway. I know that WORD 2007 caused a lot of problems with graphics in conversion to PDF. The add-on from MS solves that problem, but creates other problems. In WORD I have seen a beautiful sunset be split into parts when WORD sent it to Acrobat and when viewed closely there were small lines at the segment boundaries. This did not happen with OFFICE 2003. As I have mentioned in other posts, it is almost as though MS purposely screwed up the output when it sees an Adobe product. I suspect if you try Excel 2003 (if available), the problem will not occur, even with the same version of Acrobat. That suggests WORD is doing something strange.
I have also found difference in printing to the Adobe PDF printer and using PDF Maker with AA9 and OFFICE 2007. With AA9, Adobe changed the process and PDF Maker no longer uses the printer as I have been told. Thus trying both methods may indicate differences. Too bad that the attachments feature was deactivated for security reasons. Maybe it will come back some day.
I have the same Excel version as you, but AA9.3.3. It may be the AA version that is part of the problem, but I also suspect a problem with MS. Bill

    Hi ...
    Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
    A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
    From the drop down menu click Restart.
    See if that makes a difference ...

  • When forwarding Word or PDF Files they get corrupted

    I have several users that when they forward either a word document of a pdf file they get corrupted.  If I forward directly from Outlook (2007) they are perfectly fine. 
    Anybody know what is happening?  We tend to send a lot of word/pdf files.
    Thanks

    Okay, let me be specific here.
    I have:
    Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2 fully installed and licensed to this computer.
    I also have an older version of Robohelp 7 installed.
    Both have all the updates done.
    The machine also has:
    MS Office 2003
    and the updated Adobe Distiller program.
    What I want to do is to "print" - IE, generate - a Word document version AND a PDF version of my current Robohelp 8 project.
    (Ignore this part, because this is not the issue. The generation of the files is the issue. Nothing else. The block, and the problem is that I cannot get Word or PDF files to generate from Robohelp 8.)
    What I will do with this is convert the Word doc BACK to Robohelp 7, AND import the Word doc in FrameMaker.
    (But again, we do not care about what I'm going to do with the files. The end result is not important. What is important, again, is:)
    I cannot "print" - IE, generate, a Word document AND/OR a PDF version of my current Robohelp 8 project from the generate dialogue box.
    I'm hoping that this clarifies the issue, since there are no add-ons to what I'm trying to do here. I'm not dancing the angels around the head of the legacy pin, I'm not trying to open a R8 in R7, I'm not trying to cure cancer or shoot a bulls-eye at 1,200 feet.
    I am trying to "print", IE, generate, a Word document OR a PDF from my current Robohelp 8 environment and cannot do so.
    (Sorry for the excessive description, but it looked like we were branching off into realms that weren't the problem at all.)
    In response to Peter - I did try a sample project, and the same issue occurs. When I click "Printed Documentation" in either of the projects, a popup comes up that says "Parameter is Incorrect". This is an unmodified item that I'm opening - stock off the installation.

  • Why is my word and pdf files so large? How can I reduce the size?

    My document contains mostly photos from a database via a path to the actual jpeg photos on disk.
    There are 39 jpeg photos + a small amount of text with each photo.
    The 39 jpeg photos on the disk add up to be 5.79 mb.
    If I export the crystal reports document as [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Non Editable] the, the file size is 36.8 mb.
    If I export the same data as a [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Editable] the file size is only 3.1 mb.
    That is a difference of 33.7 mb! Why?
    Also, when I export the same data to a PDF file it is much larger than I think it should be; 12.7 mb.
    Why is my word and PDF files so large?
    How can I reduce the size of the word and PDF files? (without reducing the photo quality).
    Are there any tools to post process the Word or PDF files to reduce the file size?

    You can't, extra size is to hold the details

  • Created a pdf file showing a graph generated with CL_GUI_CHART_ENGINE

    Hi Experts!
    Please, anyone has already created a pdf file showing a graph generated with CL_GUI_CHART_ENGINE??
    Could anyone help me with this requirement?
    Thanks in advance,
    Best regards

    Hi,
    I searched and found another solution, because with the code from the link above I got everytime a short dump, maybe I did something wrong.
    The solution works with Adobe Form
    1. I used the class cl_igs_chart_engine to create a chart with my data and customizing to get the binary data of the image.
    2. Convert the binary tab to xstring.
    3. You can use this xstring on the Adobe Form to display the image.
    Maybe the following tips are useful.
    *How to get the data of chart you can see in the class
    CL_TIME_CHART_SIMPLE (use cl_gui_chart_engine for the chart but  class cl_igs_chart_engine for saving the image)
    *How to bind the image to the importing parameter (xstring)

  • With Yahoo! Mail attachments are put together in zip format I can't open, but when I switch to Internet Explorer these same attachments open easily as Word or PDF files; how cn I fix?

    Two recent emails (Yahoo! Mail) each contained multiple attachments which were presented to me as zip files which were in a format that my computer could neither open or convert to files I could open. One was two Word documents; the other was five one-page PDFs. I tried with Firefox on two different computers with same results. When I switched to Internet Explorer, I was able to open the attachments each as separate Word or PDF files, with no trouble. Am I doing something wrong?

    instead of writing such an essay, you could have explained better what you tried to do to get them.

  • I am having the same problem I think.  With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch.  I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore.  Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

    I am having the same problem I think.  With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch.  I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore.  Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF files on my iphone?

    Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
    Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
    , so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
    No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
    Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
    Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
    Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
    They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

  • How to upload words, exel, PDF file from the pc via itune to the iPad, and where will the uploaded file be saved? In the apps?

    How to upload words, exel, PDF file from the pc via itune to the iPad, and where will the uploaded file be saved? In the apps?

    You will need an app (or apps) on your iPad that is capable of reading the documents, as they will be saved with the app - if you don't have such an app then there is nothing to transfer them to or to read/access them.
    One method of transferring them is toconnect your iPad to your computer's iTunes, select it's app tab, and then scroll to the bottom of it - you should the apps That you've got that are capable of file-sharing (if you've got any).  Selecting/high-lighting one of them should then allow you to add files to it via the box to the right of it.
    An alternative way to get the documents onto your iPad is if the app that you want to transfer them to has a wifi setting, which will then allow you to transfer the documents wirelessly. You can also send the documents to yourself as attachments and then use Mail's 'open in' facility to copy them into your chosen app.
    Edit : more info on file sharing from the manual :
    File Sharing lets you transfer files between iPad and your computer. You can share files created with a compatible app and saved in a supported format.
    Apps that support file sharing appear in the File Sharing Apps list in iTunes. For each app, the Files list shows the documents that are on iPad. See the app’s documentation for how it shares files; not all apps support this feature.
    Connect iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select iPad in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
    In the File Sharing section, select an app from the list on the left.
    On the right, select the file you want to transfer, then click “Save to” and choose a destination on your computer.
    Transfer a file from your computer to iPad:
    Connect iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select iPad in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
    In the File Sharing section, click Add.
    Select a file, then click Choose (Mac) or OK (PC).
    The file is transferred to your device and can be opened using an app that supports that file type. To transfer more than one file, select each additional file.
    Delete a file from iPad: Select the file in the Files list, then tap Delete.

    Post relates to: Pre Plus p101vzw (Verizon)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hey Paul welcome to the Palm forums.
    Your Verizon Pre Plus runs a mobile operating system called HP/Palm webOS.  The current release is 1.4.5.  The phone can connect to a corporate Microsoft Exchange server.  When it does, it uses a sync technology called "Exchange Active Sync," but your phone does not run the Windows Mobile or Windows Phone operating system.
    Syncing Microsoft Office and PDF documents has been sort of an adventure since the Pre debuted over 18 months ago.
    DataViz, the makers of the Doc View application, was partially acquired by RIM, the makes of the BlackBerry, and have decided to not release a full version of Documents To Go for webOS devices.  Palm is working with the makers of QuickOffice to bring full Office document support to webOS in the future.
    For now, if you put Office documents and PDF files in the USB storage area of your Pre, Doc View or PDF will find them and allow you to view them on your Pre.  I put all of my documents in a folder simply called "Documents".
    If you connect the charging/sync cable to your Pre and then attach it to your Mac or Windows PC, you will be given a choice to turn on USB Drive mode.  When you do, you will be able to work with your Pre like you would a standard USB flash drive.  Eject the Pre from your PCs desktop when you are done and you should be all set.
    Hope that helps.

  • 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.

  • Importing tables and graphs from Word to pdf form

    Hi. I've got a form set up in which people are supposed to submit a final report on a grant. There are large multi-line text fields in which they can enter text -- and most people are writing the text in Word and then just copying it into the text fields. In the process, however, they lose formatting of any tables, charts and graphs that are in the Word file. Is there any way to avoid that? Or is the only solution to ask them to append a Word-created pdf containing any tables, etc., to the form?
    Thanks --

    OK, thanks.
