Problem embedding pdf as object in Word 2010 64-bit

Using MS Word 2010 64-bit & Acrobat X Pro on Win 7 Ult. Getting following error when trying to embed a pdf file as an object in a doc(x) file:
"The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed."
There is some kind of discussion for Reader X here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/worddev/thread/574ac8e4-eb1d-4b63-b70e-32dd0 e9025b8
Wonder if there is a similar solution / upgrade / patch / hotfix or the like for Pro X

Hi Dave,
Maurice's thread was locked because he is using Office 2010 Beta, and his post is in the forum for Office Beta, since the Beta is past due, the whole forum is locked.
Let's go back to your question.
Have you installed the Office 2010 Service Pack 1? The service pack fixes many issues, you should try if you haven't.
Download
the Microsoft Office 2010 Service Pack 1 64-bit package now.
I may to metion is that all I know the Office 2010 64-bit will work smoothly with Windows 7 64-bit, cause I'm using it for my daily work.
So, the problem you met with mostly caused by the 3rd-party add-ins/services.
Have you tried to open the document by holding the Ctrl key? This will open the document in safe mode, if you are able to do so, this will help us to narrow down the root cause.
If it will crash even when you start it in safe mode, let's try to run a clean boot to check this issue. In a clean boot, lots of service will be disabled, if we wouldn't get problem in a clean boot, then we can enable the service little by little, then
we can find out which service might cause this issue.
For a detail instruction, you can refer to this kb:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Let me know the result, any questions, feel free to let me know.

I cannot insert a pdf object into word 2010 (64 bit).

I've tried to insert a pdf file (acrobat 11 pro installed) into word 2010 (64 bit) and get a message along the lines of:
"the program used to create this object is acrobat. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install Acrobat or ensure that any dialog boxes in Acrobat are closed."
Acrobat 11 Pro is installed and works fine for everything else.
I've never had a problem with this before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've already tried to repair acrobat and I've uninstalled and reinstalled it but makes no difference.
(problem also applied to excel and word pad)

I am having this same issue. Has it been solved yet?

Adobe PDF tab Disappeared in Word 2010

Hi---I had the Adobe PDF tab in my Word 2010 for years---it's now disappeared!
I re-added/enabled it in the Add-Ons (File-Options-Add-Ins) and it shows it as Enabled, but still won't re-display in my menu bar.
I really need this to create bookmarked PDFs, and going into "Options" just allows me to click something like "Bookmarks by Headings," but won't allow me to choose the headings (some clients change their heading names, e.g., Heading 1 may be H1 in another doc), and I need to be able to open that window that I used to use when the Adobe PDF tab appeared, so I can check/un-check the heading names---help! Thanks!

Could you try the following:
Launch Acrobat, ensure you're fully updated (Help > Check for Updates) to version 9.5.1
Close all applications and restart the computer.
Repair Microsoft Office from Control Panel > Programs
Launch Acrobat and repair via Help > Repair Acrobat Installation
Restart the computer.
Launch Word.
I'm wondering if a recent update to Office may have caused the problem.
Let us know how it goes.

How to Install Microsoft Word Add-in in Windows Svr 2008 R2 64bit with Word 2010 32 bit

I developed Microsoft Word Add-In for 32 bit systems which is working fine. Now i want to install the same on Win Svr 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 bit with 32 bit Microsoft Word installed. What changes do i need to do in my project and installer.
Desired Target: Win Svr 2008 R2 64 bit with Word 2010 32 bit
Working/Development/Testing PC: Win 7 32 bit with Word 2010 32 bit
Tried Steps
Changed project and installer target to x64
When i give target location in Application folder [ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer]\Office14\ADDINS\ the Add-In automatically installs in C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Office14\ADDINS\ and registry is also updated as required but when word is started it tries to
load Add-In in location C:\ProgramFiles\Office14\ADDINS\ whereas files are placed in x86 ProgramFiles because word too is 32 bit.
note: Setup of server (Win08r2 64 bit with 2010 Word 32 bit) cannot be changed as it is running in production.
please guide how do i solve the issue.

I rebuilt the solution in .Net 3.5 and somehow it solved the problem on the clients.
For second query As Microsoft Word 32 bit is installed on Win Server 08 r2 64Bit so i needed a target code for 32 bit which worked. 64 bit solution was not required as quoted by
Eugene Astafiev
earlier. Thanks for your support.

Acrobat X & XI add-in Word 2010 32-bit cause macro error messages

When I enable Acrobat COM add-in in Word 2010 32-bit, when I close Word and re-open Word, I receive the following
This dialog screen pops up three consecutive times after I click on "OK" three consecutive instances.
The add-in works great in Outlook 2010, Excel 2010, but not in Word 2010. I manually installed the Trusted Pulisher Certificate for the add-in the the Trusted Publisher store as shown with no success either.
I went to Word options to the Trust Center and enabled anything pertaining to macros or scripts and still was NOT successful. This worked at one time before, prior to Office 2010 updates from Microsoft. I suspect a Microsoft update may have broken this add-in and may require Adobe to put out an update to fix this. This worked in January 2013 thru Feb 2013 but now fails with Microsoft Office updates after March 2013.
Any help would be appreciated!

Can not edit data labels in old graph chart objects using Word 2010

In Word 2010, Insert object "Microsoft Graph Chart", go to Chart Options and check an item in Data labels, such as "Series Name", "Category Name" or "Value". Click OK, then double-click on a data label to edit its
settings, or right-click on a data label and select "Format Data Labels..."
This makes Word to crash. The only way I can get out of it is by using the Task Manager to kill Word.
This happens in Windows 7 and Windows 8. This does NOT not happen in Word 2007 nor Word 2013, so it seems specific to Word 2010. All our clients have the same problem, this does not seem related to a specific workstation configuration.
The Microsoft Graph Chart are the old charts used within .doc files. I have an application still generating those types of files and need to edit data label settings manually before processing the files with my application.
Also note that anytime you edit a .doc file in Word 2010 and you see "Compatibility Mode" in the title bar, the Insert / Chart option from the ribbon inserts an old type chart (same as if you use Insert / Object / Microsoft Graph Chart), not the
new Word 2010 charts. You then have the same problem editing the data labels.
The underlying Activex seems to be the Chart.Exe file, the one I have installed is 14.0.7012.1000. You can see the version by double-clicking the chart and then look in the Help / About menu.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

As this is a configuration issue and not a programming issue I' moving your question to a more appropriate forum where you're more likely to find assistance.

Missing data in Acrobat Pro XI PDF created from Microsoft Word (2010) doc

When I create an "Adobe PDF" from a Microsoft 2010 Word doc that contains mainly images and text boxes, about 50% of the text boxes do not appear in the PDF. Also, some of the images (layered on top of each other) appear in a different order - the one on the bottom moves to the top.
How can I address this problem so that the PDF accurately reflects the Word document?
(I am using Acrobat Pro XI and Microsoft Office 2010)

Finally figured it out -- if I view the form directly in Adobe Reader (over our network), I see the confusing message about "Click 'Sign' to fill out..."
BUT, if I open the form within a web browser (IE, Firefox, etc.), I see the usual message: "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print..."
It is doing what I expected; I just wasn't viewing it in the usual manner. Users will be seeing this form via a web browser, so problem solved.

Converting PDF formats to MS word 2010?

hi,I've got a problem. I'm really sorry if someone have already discussed that problem before.
I am trying to convert 1000's of pdf files to word 2010 that has not been labeled correctly so using the built in feature that acrobat has does not allow the tables and colums to convert without going all over the place. Is there anyway to do this?
Hope to get answers as soon as possible.

You'll want to ask this question in the Acrobat Windows forum.

Word 2010 (64-bit on Win7 64-bit) crashes crashes on opening any document by double-click.

Sad to have to open repeat thread, but I'm having the same problem that Maurice Reed was having (that thread is now locked, although I didn't see any solution there).
I have a fresh installation of Windows 7 (64) and Office 2010 (64). Any time I double-click on a document to open it (that is, any time I open a document from Windows Explorer), Word 2010 crashes.
This includes situations where Word 2010 is already running and I open a doc or docx from Windows.
This also happens with NEWLY CREATED documents. I tested this by opening Word and creating and saving a brand new document. Opening that doc (docx) from Windows triggers this crash.
I tried deleting the Normal.dot as was suggested in other threads.
Also tried installing updates and hotfix from Microsoft. No luck.
I'm curious as to why Maurice's thread was locked when there didn't appear to be any resolution to it.
I'm stunned that such a widespread problem would go without a patch, hotfix or resolution for so many months. Am I missing something? I've been researching this for about a month off and on now. Have yet to see an actual fix. On the other hand, I've heard
about this problem from others even before it happened to me.
What's going on up there? Where are Bartley & Jeanne when we need them. ;D

Problems embedding PDF files into Excel 2003 workbooks

Several of my fellow consultants engaged on a client project were previously able to successfully embed PDF files as objects within Excel 2003 workbooks. However, most recently, a few of them have been encountering odd icon displays for the embedded object (not the standard Adobe PDF icon), resulting in the user unable to view the object (these colleagues are using desktop PCs running Excel 2003 and Adobe Reader 9.3.2). Has anyone encountered this and have a remedy?

Thanks for responding -
My colleagues report that no error messages appear when adding the object to the Excel spreadsheet - however, the object is created with a non PDF icon being displayed. Once the icon is double clicked, nothing appears. The sample of the problem was forwarded to me - where I can see that the object icon is in fact a non Adobe PDF icon (see below). While I am able to open the PDF file with my PC desktop configuration (Windows XP, Excel 2007, Adobe Reader v9.4.1.), those with Windows XP, Excel 2003 and Adobe Reader v9.3.2 can not. Any thoughts?

Problems reading PDF Files and or Word Documents and when purchased this I had Word on this computer?

I need help I had just recently purchased a program to help solve issues on my computer From Reimage and they still have not fixed the problems that I am having and I am no computer wiz and need help.

You need Adobe Reader to read PDF files.
You need MS Office to open Word docs. If you don't have then
LibreOffice is one of your best bets.

Acrobat PDF kompatibel zu MS Office 2010 64-bit?

Hallo zusammen,
Microsoft Office 2010 in 64-bit ist inzwischen verfügbar. Die 64-bit Version erlaubt insbesondere die Bearbeitung größerer Dokumenten und den Zugriff auf einen Speicherbereich jenseits 2 GB.
Frage: Ist das Acrobat PDF Plug-In für Office kompatibel zur 64-bit Version von Office, bzw. wann ist mit einem entsprechenden Update zu rechnen?
Freundliche Grüße

Create PDF Acrobat X Pro - does not display embedded excel 2010 tables in word 2010 properly

Hello,
I bought Acrobat X Pro and the first document I used 'Create PDF' on was a Word 2010 document with embedded (read linked) Excel 2010 tables.
When I opened the document after creating it the linked tables had a little arrow in the corner of a white box with a help text message of "click here to activate". The pdf is basically unusable.
Is there a setting to ensure that these embedded excel tables are created as normal tables - I do not want to have to keep pasting in tables/images into my Word documents when they are all updating automatically.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Regards,
Craig

Hello,
i am having exactly the same issue with Acrobat X Pro - with linked Excel 2010 tables in Word 2010.
Has there been a resolution to this eissue - it is potentially very time consuming to work around this issue for me.
I would post my files but I don't know how to attach them to the thread - only my second post .
Cheers,

This is the Word File - the table is an Excel 2010 spreadsheet linked (via Paste Special >Link) .
This is the resultant PDF file:

Unable to insert pdf object into 64-bit Word 2010

I have always been able to insert pdf files into word documents. However, when I upgraded to the 64-bit version of Word, I started experiencing the below issue.
My setup is: Windows 7 64-bit, Word 2010 64-bit, Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro v9.4.7.
When I attempt to insert a pdf file into Word, I receive the following message:
"The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed."
I have researched this issue a great deal.
Previously, I found a posting which specified some registry keys to delete. I followed these directions and it worked. But, after installing some updates, the issue is back and I am unable to find the post specifying the registry keys to remove.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Brandon

Solution:
Open Adobe Reader / Pro
Go to Edit àPreferenceà General (LHS)àUncheck “Enable protected mode at startup”.
Adobe Reader’s protected mode will be disabled
Now try inserting Adobe document in Word, it will work.

PDF Maker - Converting Word 2010 headlines to PDF Bookmarks

Hi Guys,
I'm facing some issues within my organization using the Adobe Acrobat PDF Maker for Word 2010.
Since version 10.1.1 it seems that the bookmark creation tool malfunctions .
I'm trying to produce a PDF bookmarks based on word 2010 headlines , when I'm comparing version 10.1.1 output to 10.1.2,10.1.3,10.1.4 and even 11 outputs I can notice a variety of changes although all my settings are identical .
Is there any known issue regarding this problem ?
As for now - I cannot upgrade any of my users to any version higher than 10.1.1.
Should I report a new bug ?
Any help will be really appreciated .
Thanks !

No I was referring to the post that started this thread:

Sound like appearanced order is changed between the different versions. He saying if you set up Bookmarks in one version it should look the same in all versions. Apparently the organization (Business) he belongs to, each station have different version of Acrobat.
The best answer would be have evenone update or upgrade to the same version.
