Problem converting Word document with TOC table

Hello,
I am using MsWord 2003 and Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits.
I have created the manual using Word, I set Heading (s) with 3 levels deep and created TOC in Word.
It looks as designed. There are Titles, Subtitles and Subtiles (3rd level).
TOC in Word works fine. No problem.
In PDFMaker options under Bookmarks tab I set TOC 1 with 3 levels.
However, after converting the whole document into PDF, the Bookmarks look very strange.
They contain only Titles (no subtitles at all), each bookmark line ends with some number 3, 4 or 5 which I do not have idea what are they and those bollmarks point to the TOC page not to the page they should have.
What is wrong and how can I correct that?
Thanks,
jas
Added:
I have read many of posts having similiar problems and tried all the suggestions posted.
I tried:
1.
Reinstalling Adobe (removing all the related files), although I did not have any previous versions (and installations) of Acrobat in this computer.
2.
In Adobe PDFMaker uncheck 'Enable Accessibility and...' option
3.
Setting printer to Adobe PDF
4.
In Word > TOC settings I checked the 'Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers' option
Also I tried In Adobe PDFMaker not use TOC but to use 'Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks'
The result was horrible. Double bookmarks, reversed Level 1 with Level 2 positions and lots of empty bookmarks (I believe created by empty rows in pages tables).
Please note, that using the same Headings Word creates TOC without any problems!
The only plus side was that some of those bookmarks came with correct links.
Those bokkmarks were created using 'New Bookmarks from structure' option in Acrobat (after converting the document)
/jas

This is ridiculous!
I think it is time for Adobe to admit there is a problem creating bookmarks in Acrobat, regardless the used version.
Today I spent all day trying different combinations.
In addition to my post above I installed and tested the same document in Acrobat Prof ver.8 and Acrobat X.
The installation was virgin (no previous Adobe was installed).
Same for MS Office. Virgin installation of ver. 2003 and 2007
My document I copied and pasted in blank new Word document.
Also I tried under Windows XP
All that does not make any difference.
The final result was always the same, as shown graphically in above post.
Any ideas?
What I do not understand, how such big corporation allows bugs like that.
Convertning TOC (nice working in Word) cannot be a rocket science!
If Word can create TOC from Headings flawlessly, why not Adobe?
That TOC is correctly converted as TOC page in pdf document.
Maybe Adobe should add the option to create bookmarks directly from it after the conversion?!
As I said, it is not a rocket science.
Onus is on you, Adobe!

Create a word document with TOC, table,etc

Hi,
How to create a word document with Table of content(TOC),header, footer, table, etc?
Help me with any APIs or examples. I have already tried with POI API, but couldnt create TOC.. So any other api or any solution is available to create complex word document.
Thank you

Hi BIJ001,
Thanks for your valuable suggestion.
Open standards WordprocessingML format is supports by Microsoft word. It is typical xml format of designing word document. But creating document with TOC,tables, different styles of paragraphs are complex. Using this format, i have created simple docs. I never tried with complex formats like TOC. The generating File should be in ".doc or .docx" format only.
Hi gimbal2,
I am parallely looking to find solution in OpenOffice format also. But i never try out ".docx" file format. I will try to look out this option.
Thanks for the input.

Problem importing Word document with TOC

I am trying to import a Word document containing a table of contents into Pages. The TOC does not appear at all and I get a box saying: "The table of contents is empty because none of the paragraph styles selected in the Document Inspector are used in the document". The TOC style in the original Word document is a hyperlink.
Any help appreciated,
George
Pages 2.0.2

I'm on Windows right now, but I will try answering anyhow. Forgive me for being foggy.
If the the document complains that the styles are wrong, that is probably where the problem is. Somewhere in Pages there should be a setting to choose which styles to use for building a table of contents. You should try to change those settings to match the style names used in the Word document.
A possible source of error here is if you use Pages in another language than the Word document. Let's say the Word document uses the German word "Titel" for Header 1 and you run Pages in French, which expects something like "Titre". It is then possible that Pages cannot recreate the table of context, unless you tell it that it should built it from the styles called Titel.

Problems Converting word documents with the Adobe Printer and method ,printout (OutputFileName:=) in

I would like to write a vb-procedure to convert a word document into pdf.
I'm developing in "Visual Basic 2005 express edition" and tried the following code:
code[
Private Sub PrintDocument(sDocName As String,sNewDocName As String)
'sDocname = "c:\tmp\test.doc"
'sNewDocName = "c:\test\test.pdf)
Dim m_wdApp As Word.Application = New Word.Application
Dim m_wdDatei As Word.Document
m_wdDatei = m_wdApp.Documents.Open(FileName:=sDocName)
m_wdDatei.PrintOut(Background:=False,OutputFileName:=sNewDocName, _ ActivePrinterMacGX:="Adobe PDF")
m_wdDatei.Close(False)
m_wdDatei = Nothing
m_wdApp.Quit()
m_wdApp = Nothing
End Sub
]End of code
After running the printout line I can see a little window popping up, which shows the progress in the converting and after a little time I can find the expected file in the targetdirectory.
The problem is that I can't open this file, I just get the message that the file is corrupt or not of the pdf-format.
By scanning the web, I found several threads describing the same problem, but so far I found no solution. Maybe someone here can help me.

Problem converting Word Documents into pdf

Hi Folks - and Happy New Year to You!
I'm using version Adobe 7.0.
I written an e-book and can't get the darn thing to convert into a pdf file. Sometimes it works -- sometimes it doesn't.
I suspect the problem is with my many embedded graphics. I have created Microsoft Powerpoint slides, and have cut and pasted them into my ebook as objects inserted between the paragraphs of text.
When converting from the "Convert to Adobe PDF" button in my Word Toolbar, it gets all the way through and finally has an error at the end saying: "an error occured while creating a temporary file; Word was unable to write some of the embedded objects due to insufficient memory or disk space"
I have Adobe set with a password to protect copying, and the Word file size is around 1Mb.
My computer is only a year old, and I have 23 Gb of free space.
I'm using Windows Professional XP and Word 2002
Please reply asap or email me on [email address deleted by host]
You Have My Best Regards
Dave

Hi,
I have tried to get this right for a few days now Finally found some info at
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=330729
See point 2 below.
Creating PDF files by using PDFMaker
You can convert Word files from within either Word or Acrobat. Because both applications use PDFMaker, you can achieve the same results in either application.
To create a PDF file from within Word:
1. Exit from all applications except Word to minimize processing time. To further minimize processing time, complete the following:
-- If the document contains several fonts, either reduce the number of fonts or replace TrueType fonts with Type 1 fonts.
-- If the document contains large or complex tables, reduce the number of columns and rows.
2. If the document contains hyperlinks, make sure that the page margins are .8 inch or larger.
3. To add features such as font embedding and compression to your PDF file, choose Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings. (To create customized job options settings with these features, edit the conversion settings. For more information, see "Editing the PDFMaker Conversion Settings" in the Acrobat Help.)
Isn't it totally obvious to anyone that the margins have to be at least 0.8 inches for hyperlinks to work.....
I made a new page format slightly larger and increased the margins. After making the PDF file i trimmed it in Adobe. Worked like a dream...

Dynamic Converter - convert Word Document with Image

I have the following issue:
My word document contains an embedded image. the text flows around the picture on the right side.
After the conversion is the text in a separate paragraph below the picture ...
Is it possible to configure the dynamic converter so that the text flows around the picture like in the word document?
Thanks for your help!

Now i have tried several times to format the output with different styles. I have changed the text color, text size and to align the picture.
But the output didn't change.
There are no errors or warnings in the logfile.
An ibr is also running. It converts doc into pdf.
For the dynamic converter:
I have made a rule.
Then i have added a criteria for the field "format" with the value "application/msword".
Then i have selected a gui tepmlate and asigned the standard layout.
No effect.
Any suggestions why the dynamic conversion didn't work?
Thank you for your help!

Problem converting XPS document with large images

Hi,
When I try to convert XPS documents to PDF in Acrobat 9.0 Pro, I have problems with "large images". They are either truncated or scaled down. The only images that convert correctly are small images that are not stretched to fill a large area. Attached to this message is a simple example. Does anyone know a way to correct this problem? By the way, the page is slightly larger than the standard Letter size.
Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestion! In fact, I am the programmer who creates the XPS files from a .NET document. Our company used the method "Postscript + PDF" during a few months and it worked quite well. Recently, we introduced semi-transparent objects and fonts in our documents and the resulting PS prints look really bad. Since I can create a perfect XPS document, and since Acrobat can convert it to PDF, I gave it a try. It solved all the problems that I had with PS printing but there is that thing with images... Anyway, since Acrobat converts XPS to PDF, I guess they should try to solve the bug with the images. As for me, I will see if I can get a component to create PDF documents directly from our application.

Font problem creating WORD document with Oracle Reports 8i/9i

I created a report using different Arial fonts. Once the report is generated from a .NET application, the fonts in the word document are changed apparently into Helvetica. This disarrange my lay-out completely. How can I solve this problem?
(NB. when I generate a PDF, there is no problem!)

By the way. I create the files in this way:
   private void createFile(String outFileName) {
      try {
         ByteArrayInputStream result = clientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
         File newFile = new File(outFileName);
         FileOutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(newFile);
         int bytesRead = 0;
         byte[] byteArray = new byte[10000];
         while ((bytesRead = result.read(byteArray)) != -1) {
            output.write(byteArray, 0, bytesRead);
         output.flush();
         output.close();
      } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();

Acrobat Pro XI Will Not Print Word Document with a Rotated Table

I have a MS Word document that is mostly text, but include a table that has been rotated in a text box to fit on the page. When I try to print to PDF using Acrobat Pro XI, the document crashes at the page the table is on.
I have tried several attempts to print using the Acrobat Printer, convert to PDF feature and trying to print just the page alone. Acrobat will simply not print word document with a rotated table.
Any idea how to fix this?
Word 2013, Windows 7, Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.06

In the full document, the print to PDF goes only as far as the table, then ends - not printing the table. The remaining pages are not printed.
For example, I have trimmed the file down to just the table page, and included links to it, and a copy of the PDF it generated.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60543835/Forums/Table%20Sample_140903.docx
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60543835/Forums/Table%20Sample_140903.pdf
The error message I now get when I try to print is: "There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate or print this document."
However, with the Task manager open, the memory never seems to get above half of the available (the graph bar fluctuates a little, but stays stable")
The page prints to a regular HP or Xerox printer with no problems.

Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table

Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table. I have Windows 8.1 64-bit and Office 2010 Professional. Only phrases from within Excel tables are not searchable. I have many Word documents with embedded Excel table.
I use it for my invoices. Those invoices are converted to pdf to be sent via mail. Searching the same phrases in related pdf files Works fine. And yes, folders are indexed, searching service is active......... For example I can find all invoices that have
specific address or name, which is located in word document, but cannot find invoices with specific item name or price, being that information is in embedded Excel table. (not linked, embedded). I thought that is a question for Windows forum, but guys directed
me here on Office forum. To clarify, I do not use Ctrl+F inside some document, but Windows Search in my folders. Probably the same happens in Office 2013.
Thank you.

Hi, I have a lot of Word documents (invoices, offers). Main part of those documents is embedded Excel file because it is easier to do mathematics in Excel than in Word. There are columns with description, unit price, quantity, taxes... Now, I need
to find who bought HP switch 2530-24G last year. I open folder with last year invoices and search "2530". Cannot find any. But if that document was converted to pdf for mail, than I can find that phrase. Windows search does not work for content if the content
is in embedded file.

Convert 1 single microsoft word document with section breaks to multiple pdf files

I am a windows 7 users. I have a single microsoft word document which contain 1500 pages. These 1500 pages are seperated by sections breaks in the microsoft word. I am trying to convert this word document to multiple pdf files seperated by the section breaks in the Microsoft word. How can I convert the single microsoft word document with section breaks to multiple seperate pdf files?

Acrobat (Adobe PDF Printer and PDFMaker ) doesn't recognize the Section breaks. It never has as far as I am aware. The easiest thing to do is to manually break up a copy of the MS Word Document into the Sections you need and then create the PDFs from those MS Word documents.

I converted a PDF to Word Document with Barcodes #39 on them. The barcodes didn't convert. Why? Is there anything I can do?

I converted a PDF to a Word Document with barcodes #39 on them. The barcodes didn't convert? Any ideas???

Hey,
There might be a quality-specific issue as the conversion of PDF file comprising of barcode depends upon the quality of the document as well.
The better is the quality, more accurate can the file get converted to Word.
