Problem converting graphics to hyperlinks in pdf's

I'm having a problem converting grapics, words or phrases to hyperlinks in exported pdf's. The only thing that converts is a complete URL even though the test for source and destination work perfectly.

In Indesign if you want to generate a PDF you "export". You have two options: Print or Interactive. If you use Interactive it will include hyperlinks by default. If you choose Print you need to check it:

Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9

Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9
I have a Word 2007 DOC (not docx) file with pictures and text which converted perfectly with Distiller 8. I installed CS4 Distiller 9, and now the same DOC file flows over onto several extra pages. I am using the default settings. Any idea what has changed. Thanks in advance.

First, select the Adobe PDF printer in WORD. Then go through the document to check for the flow of the document. It should print the same as you see in the document after the printer has been selected.

Problem Converting Word 2007 Document to PDF

I am having trouble converting a Word 2007 document to a PDF document. I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I have tried to convert the document using the right-click drop down list as well as converting from within the Word document screen itself. I get the same results -- no PDF document is converted (or opened in a PDF screen).
When I do the convert from the drop down list or from within the Word document, it gets to the point where it asks me for the name of the new document. I click save (on the Word document name) and it looks like it is converting, but then the Adobe Acrobat conversion window disappears and no PDF document opens. I noticed that on the frequently used documents list (from the Windows start button), the new PDF document is listed, but when I click on it, Windows say it cannot find the associated file. When I look through the list of documents in the folder, the new PDF file is not there either.
I ran the repair program in Adobe Acrobat. After it was done, I clicked the button not to restart until later. When that window closed, I heard the windows "gong" sound with a message to reinstall acrobat. I rebooted and the problem persists.
I also have a Fujitsu Scansnap machine which scans documents to PDF files and that seems to still be working fine, so I know at least part of Acrobat is working fine.
I check the list of disabled add ins in Office and nothing is disabled.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

Open the document in WORD. Select the print menu in WORD (don't know what to call the stupid file icon MS now uses) and select the Adobe PDF printer. See if printing there works.
If the print does work, then skip the next few comments. If it does not, then go back to the print menu and check the print-to-file button and print. You will be asked for a location and file name. Be sure to note where you put the file and change the extension to PS (like filename.ps). Then starte Distiller and open the PS file you created in Distiller (if you forget to change the extension to PS, then it will be a PRN file and just select that one). Check if the PDF is created this time. If not, you should get error messages from Distiller -- copy all of the error message back here for us to see.
If the PDF creation in the last step worked, then open the task list (ctrl-alt-del -- select the task list) and look for AcroTray.exe. If it is not running, then it has probably been deleted from the startup. It is found in the Distiller folder of Acrobat for most versions, but may have moved for your version. In any case, restart it if needed.
As for PDF Maker that you are apparently using, that is a different process. However, check the printing process first and see if you can get it working. If not, PDF Maker will likely not work either. With AA8 and before, PDF Maker was simply a preprocessor for the printer and the selection of a DOC file in Acrobat simply uses PDF Maker to create the PDF. So you have to back out to more basics in creation and be sure those are working before the more advanced technique you are trying to use has any hope.

Problem converting Word 2003 document to PDF using Acrobat 8

I have tried without success to generate a PDF from a Word document that is 191 pages long and contains many hyperlinks.
Although I have generated similar PDF documents in the past using the Acrobat PDFMaker macro button within Word (which preserves all the links, unlike printing to PDF), the one I am currently working on does not generate a PDF document.
It appears to follow the normal process of searching for hyperlinks, converting to PDF, etc - which takes close to 35-40 minutes, but once it looks to be done, it shows a brief Adobe splash screen and disappears entirely.
I have searched online and through various forums and can't find any explanation.
I would appreciate any input.
Thank you!

Try printing a few pages to the Adobe PDF printer to be sure the creation process works. If that works, then go back and empty your TEMP folder, particularly if your 191 pages includes many graphics. You might also want to use the Compress feature in WORD 2003 for graphics to reduce the resolution of all the graphics (it is in the lower left of the first tab of the format menu for WORD graphics).

Problems converting Word 2007 document to PDF

Greetings,
Have a brand new shiny computer with Office 2007 basic (Word 2007, Excel 2007 and Outlook 2007). Comes with Adobe Acrobat Standard. Installed Adobe Acrobat Standard with no errors. Opened a Word 2007 document that has an embedded Excel 2007 spreadsheet (its a document for generating quotes). Word document looks fine in Word. Prints to paper fine as well. Tried Save-As Pdf and the resulting PDF has big black boxes where the spreadsheet should be. Tried printing to the Adobe PDF printer with the same result. Downloaded update for Adobe Acrobat Standard and installed it. Adobe Acrobat Standard is now version 8.1.2. Tried saving as PDF, same problem.
Word 2007 is (12.0.6015.5000) MSO (12.0.6017.5000)
Adobe Acrobat Standard is ver 8.1.2
Microsoft Windows XP Pro.
Any ideas on how to fix this ?
thanks,
Darryl

Darryl,
Bill is correct - "Save as PDF" is the Microsoft PDF tool. However, on your Word Save As menu, you should also see Save As > Adobe PDF, which is the one you want. (At least this is how it appears in Word 2007 with Acrobat 8.1.1 installed.) You should also be able to select the Acrobat tab in Word 2007 and select Create PDF.
I tried a test with Acrobat Professional 8.1.1, and the spreadsheet inserted in a Word file shows up just fine in the PDF. I selected "Fully functional PDF" in the Save As dialog box (not "Quick and Simple PDF"). Also, did not create a tagged PDF. Does Acrobat Standard have these options? (Note: The PDF was converted correctly from both a .doc and a .docx file, with an .xls file inserted.)
Hope this helps. --GMc

Problem converting Outlook 2007 email to PDF

We have a new problem that recently appeared. Sometimes when we click on the Adobe PDF tab in Outlook 2007 and select "Convert to Adobe PDF", when we go to open the resulting pdf file, we get the following message "Multiple Files are Bound together in the PDF Package....". This occurs in Adobe 8.1. Sometimes we don't get the message but when we go to open the file again, we get the message. We have checked and we have the most current update to Adobe 8.1. Any ideas what could be causing this behaviour and what can be done to fix it?

Hi "sjohnstoncpa",
Please clarify the steps you can replicate the problem with. Plus, it would be really nice if you could post a snapshot of the error message. Thanks!

Problems converting Word 2007 images to PDF

Hello everyone,
I am in desperate need for help. I have been trying to convert my word 2007 files into PDF but my graphs and tables come out not as clear as the orginals, the outline of images is thicker, the characters seem darker/bold and occasionally with distortions.
I have Microsoft Office Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
I really hope someone can help me because it is a major issue for me as I need to publish the content of my file very soon.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Just to check things here are a few steps. Checking that the process works in basic form: 1. Print to the Adobe PDF printer with Print To File selected. 2. Open the file in Distiller to convert to PDF. a. WORKS - That means things work fine and we need to look for AcroTray. b. FAILS - Look at the messages that Distiller creates. That typically provides information on the problem. For AcroTray: 1. Open Explorer and go to the Distiller folder. It is typically in Program Files>Adobe>Acrobat <your AA number>>Distiller. In that folder you should see AcroTray.exe. (in my case the folder is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Distillr) Put a link to AcroTray.exe in the Startup Folder of Windows so that it always starts with Windows. Once you have started AcroTray, you should be able to print directly to the Adobe PDF printer without the file option and get a PDF directly. All that AcroTray does is automate the print to file and running of Distiler. PDF Maker is adds an additional step by putting PDF Marks in the printer file that is written before running Distiller. Hope that helps. Bill

Problems converting Wrod doc (2007) to PDF with Adobe Acrobat 8.x

I have been trying to save a word document (2007) to PDF. If I open Acro
bat and try to do it there by selecting a file I get a message that says unexpected error - no details. If
i try from Word, the file appears to process but there is no document.
I see nothing on line that answers this question.
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
Sorry to hear you're having trouble. While I can't help with your Acrobat question (you're not in the Acrobat forum, but rather in the Acrobat.com forum), I can tell you that there are two online services that can do this conversion for you:
1. Acrobat.com (www.acrobat.com) is a service for creating and sharing files, as well as web conferencing;
2. Adobe CreatePDF (http://createpdf.acrobat.com) is a service solely for creating PDF files from existing documents.
I would recommend either of those services to you for creating PDF files from your existing Word documents, as well as from image files and other text files (for a full list of supported documents, please see http://createpdf.acrobat.com/faq.html).
For help solving the Acrobat problem, you'll probably want to re-post your question to the forum on the Acrobat User Community site: www.acrobatusers.com/forum
Best of luck!

Problem Converting from MSWord Doc to PDF

We're new to Acrobat 8 and just used it to convert a Word document. The document is a single page flyer including text, a jpg and a coupon composed of text and several tables.
After a couple of adjustments to the word doc it converts o.k. with one exception. That is, the pdf image (text, jpg and coupon) is only about 95% the size of the original.
Any suggestions? We might be able to get by, but would prefer the pdf image be full size. Thanks.

Does WORD print that way to any other printer? Does the Preview show the reduction? You might check the printing defaults under the Advanced tab in properties. In the defaults screen select layout and the Advanced button. There is likely a button that indicates scaling. See if that is the issue. Also be sure you have the correct paper selected.

Problems converting from .ai to .eps/.pdf

I recently designed a logo for a client that included both a gradient and transparency.
I flattened the transparency, expanded the strokes and embedded the text before saving a copy of it in .eps and another in .pdf (PDF/x-1a:2003)
When I opened both files in Preview, I found these two problems:
I didn't have this problem when I saved the file in other formats (.jpg, .png)
What caused this and how can I fix it?
Also, while I'm here, is PDF/x-1a:2003 preset optimized specifically for printing?
Thank You!

JPG and PNG are mostly for web work and essentially rasterize the art--the problems you're seeing are the result of stitching (a process that takes place when transparency is flattened)--if you are prepping files for 'print house'-- DON'T FLATTEN transparency or expand strokes, embed text. or save as .eps or PDF/x-1a--instead--just save as .ai and .pdf (use the 'illustrator default' PDF setting) that will allow the print house to use their RIP to process the file(s)--unless of course, the print house has 'specific' settings they want for PDFs--in which case, call and ask what setting they prefer (note: the illustrator default PDF setting will generate a larger file, but that's why there is so much portable media available-ie-CDs, DVDs, thumb drives, and a variety of free FTP sites to send files to printers).

Why am I having a problem converting a Publisher doc to PDF?

Suddenly, I am not able to convert from Publisher to PDF. I have Windows Vista, Publisher 2003
, and Adobe 7.0 standard.

Acrobat 9 Pro will work in Vista.
Vista's UAC can be a nusiance though.
The PDFMaker with Acrobat 9 will work with applications associated with these Offiice releases:
Office XP, Office 2003, Office 2007.

Be well...

Problem converting a .ps file into pdf

I have a .ps file that was created with TeX (I don't know which version, but the file was created in the early '90s) and when I open it in Acrobat Professional 8.1.2, only the graphics appear, no text.
How do I get the text to appear?

> Although, it's not clear to me why changing the output format would make the text appear?
Makes no sense to me either. Which is the setting for which it works,
and the one for which it doesn't work. Not that we can probably get
much further with that one.
>
>However, I have another issue. The pages come out in reverse order: the last page is first and the first page is last.
This implies that the PS file was written that way. This is common for
when printers print face up, so the final results are collated.

Thanks for replying. I am converting from MS Office Word document to Adobe Acrobat Document and opening with Reader XI - sorry my mistake.
I now notice another problem. On trying to open a specific hyperlink in the pdf version I get the message 'Acrobat does not allow connection to: www.biblegateway.com'. Why would there be a restriction?

ADOBE PDF - print driver problem converting Publisher 2007 to PDF

I cannot find an answer to my problem anywhere online. Our company does not have InDesign yet, so I have to use Publisher 2007 (Vista operating system) to create ads. The problem is that when I go to print and choose ADOBE PDF to convert the Publisher document, the PDF output is 1/4-1/2" smaller all the way around. It is perfectly sized in Publisher, but the PDF output keeps reducing. Is there a fix for this? Thank you.

I suspect it is a shrinking issue in Publisher (check the print properties). A lot of packages reduce the margin so it will print all of the information on printers, many printers add margin space. At least worth a check.
