Problem in converting word files to pdf

Software Crashes When converting Word .doc files to pdf

Dear Mr. Kazlow,
Thanks for your responese.
We noticed this problem when we tried to combine two word (.doc files) together and form a pdf. The same word files are getting combined to pdf when we are using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on the same system. Only in Ver XI we are facing this problem. After the crash we also get a error message from Windows saying "Adobe Elements has stopped working".
The error form Adobe is as shown in the attachment.

Acrobat XI Pro successfully installed, but it failed in converting word files into PDF, why?

I just installed Adobe XI Pro through the download assistant, it looks the installation went well, but when I tried to convert word files into PDF (tried many times), it failed. Anyone has the same problems, any solutions?

Please reply with more information - what your operating system is, do you have Office installed, and what exactly is happening. Is there an error message, does the application crash, and from where are you starting the conversion (using Word and PDFMaker, using Acrobat's Create button, or batch processing).

Not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

Hi,
I am not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. When I try to convert, it starts the process and in between I am getting this prompt, as shown in figure below and the conversion process stops. The PDF is not created.
Note: The filename 'Acr85.doc' in the above prompt keeps changing and is random.
I tried clicking Yes, No and Cancel on the above prompt, but the conversion process just stops and PDF is not getting generated.
I am able to create PDFs from web pages. No issues with that. Not working only with Word.
Can someone help me with this.
Thanks,

In MSWord please changes the settings as "Adobe PDF" menu => "Change Conversion Settings" goto Tab Bookmark and clicks the option Convert Word Bookmarks. Now you convert the Doc to PDF you can achieve the Bookmark.
Hope this help you

Reader x will not allow me to convert word files to pdf

reader x will not let me convert word files to pdf's, even word files that have been converted before. unable to get support through adobe...

The free Reader has never been able to do much more than reading (opening) PDF files. It has never had the capacity to convert any kind of file to any other format. If you could do it before, you must have been using another Adobe program/service.

How to batch convert Word files to pdf

How do I batch convert Word files to pdf using Automator

Here is a drag/drop AppleScript solution that uses the command-line LibreOffice capability to convert MS Word (.doc, .docx) files into PDF. Drag/Drop a single file, or a folder of Word documents, and it will write the respective PDF back to the original file location. When it is done, an OS X Notification will slide out onto the Desktop and provide the count of processed files.
Save this AppleScript as a Desktop application that remains open after running. If you ignore the latter, the notification will not show when it is done. Tested on Mavericks 10.9.5.
property name_extension : {"doc", "docx"}
global fileCnt
on open of finderObjects
    set fileCnt to 0
    repeat with i in (finderObjects)
    if folder of (info for i) is true then
        tell application "Finder" to set temp to (entire contents of i)
        repeat with j in (temp)
            process_files(j)
        end repeat
    else
          process_files(i)
    end if
    end repeat
    display notification "Processed Files: " & fileCnt with title "Word2PDF" subtitle "Processing Complete"
end open
on process_files(fname)
     set cmd to "/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice "

Converting Word files to pdf- Output is black and white

Hello -
I recently updated the Adobe 9.0 Reader on my computer and now when I try to convert a Word file with pictures and/or difffent colors of fonts to a pdf the output is ALL black and white. I've seen some people here on the forum saying their printer caused the problem, but I have not changed printers and this same Xerox printer worked before. Plus, I am not even printing the files yet - just looking at them in Adobe Reader - and they are in black and white. This never happened before.
Any ideas? Need help!

You may want to ask in the forum for Reader.

Problem in converting Word Document into PDF after inserting EMF file

Hi
I have VB 6.0 program, which automatically inserts an EMF file in to MS-Word and converts it in to Post Script file and finally to PDF.
But the Size of the generated PDF file is too large i.e., 8MB
If am inserting an .PNG file in MS-Word and conveting it in to Post Script and finally in to PDF, the size of PDF file is somewhere around 330KB.
I am using Acrobat Distiller 6.0 for this conversion
Can any one let me how I can reduce the file size of PDF, if I insert an EMF file.
Thanks in Advance
Vijay Kumar

Saying a WMF file does not mean much. It could be a bitmap with 2400dpi or a vector graphic. WMF and EMF are wrappers that can include both. You may be best to open the WMF in PhotoShop or Illustrator and see if you can get a consistent size, possibly doing a copy and paste to WORD.

Using Acrobat XI to Convert Word files to PDF fillable forms & use with FormsCentral

I collect data from several team members across the country with fillable PDF forms that were created from Word through the use of Acrobat XI. Can these files be imported into FormsCentral and distributed to the team members for filling out?

Yes this should work. If you are having problems with this workflow can you please elaborate so we can assist you further.

Converting word file into PDF creates exclamation marks

Hi,
I have Word 2007 and Acrobat 8.1.7 (OS: Windows XP). When creating PDFs in Word i get exclamation marks at the end of a header, footer and body itself. I tried rebuilding font cache but that didn't help. I also uninstalled all Adobe components and installed them anew - didn't do anything either. Have no other ideas. Please help...
Thanks!

The key is the print preview. If they are there, then they are being produced by WORD, not Acrobat. At that point, the Adobe PDF printer driver has not come into play other than providing WORD printer metric information. Check your settins in WORD. You should also be getting the same result if you just printed to paper or any other printer.

When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How can I solve this problem?

When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How do I solve this problem? I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

Dear Sara
Thank you very much for sending the converted file. Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful). I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK". However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before. I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images. Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian." Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
Regards,
Judith.

Why am I getting error messages and sometimes no Bookmarks when I convert some MS-Word files to PDF

Our company produces educational products for business. Essentially they are e-books in PDF format with Bookmarks allowing for ease movement to various areas of the book. The original product is generated in MS-Word and then converted to PDF. These e-books vary from 40pages to 300 pages in length. Businesses use them as reference and problem solving tools. We are using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 and for what we do it serves our purposes very well.
Recently, with some MS-Word files only, I have gotten error messages while converting the file to PDF. Sometimes, it will not complete the conversion. Sometimes, it will complete the conversion BUT-there are no Bookmarks in the PDF file.
The main error message I get is:
"Acrobat PDF maker has detected 'Highlight Changes in Printed Document' has been selected. To create a PDF file with tags, unselect this option from VIEW>MARKUP. Do you wish to continue and create PDF without tags."
If I don't unselect VIEW>MARKUP in the MS-Word file I can't complete the conversion to PDF. If I do unselect VIEW>MARKUP I can complete the conversion to PDF but the PDF file has no Bookmarks. Bookmarks are absolutely essential to the user facility with our products.
Does anyone know my problem is and can offer a solution.
Thanks in advance

BizGuru,
Somethings to consider.
--| In Windows - the OS needs a goodly space for 'elbow room' - you don't want to have HDD free space drop below something like 15%.
Say your HDD is 600GB, 60GB free space is leaving you 10%...
-| RAM - May not be enough; more is better <g>.
--| Virtual Memory - if in Windows, open up Task Manager. Look at all the "stuff" there. Most is not required by the OS.
Most of the listing is "stuff" associated with a full cart of processes associated with things you may not need or use but they suck up resources.
--| Graphics - Processing images into PDF can be resource intensive. Having a dedicated graphics card with enough ram makes a difference.
Be well...

Hyperlink problem when converting Word to PDF

Hi everyone.
I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard version 7.1.4 on a Windows 2000 environment.
I am using Word XP/2002 SP3.
I have a couple of problems when converting Word to PDF.
When converting a long link which is in 2 lines, PDF just takes one line into account, not considering the whole link
When I have hyperlinks that links to a web page, the link works fine in Word but in pdf, it gets the few words after the url address making the link not work. For example. I have a hyperlink that http://www.google.com/ and after this I have the words: "This is a sample text". The hyperlink in pdf would then become http://www.google.comThisisasampletext
Do you have any ideas how I can correct this?
Thanks.

To get the cross references, you have to use Convert to PDF (PDF Maker part of the Acrobat product). However, you first need to go to the print menu and set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Close the print menu and then do a reflow and link update of the document (ctrl-A, then F9 I think). This is needed to get the links correct since WORD reflows the document based on the printer (problem with them going to the wrong place).
Printing to the Adobe PDF printer (the step of print to file is not needed, just print to the printer and the rest is automatic) does not include the links. PDF Maker is a PreProcessor for the Adobe PDF printer that adds PDF Marks to the PS file before it is sent to Distiller (OK, the printer when used normally creates a PS file and then invokes Distiller to complete the process - your steps did with the Adobe PDF printer is the same process done manually).
Summary:
1. Fix document after setting the printer to Adobe PDF.
2. Use PDF Maker (create PDF button)

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...

I paid to convert a file from pdf to Word doc. and it is unintelligible. Why ?

I paid to convert a file from pdf to Word and it is unintelligible. Why ?

Hi M & B P,
Please give the following a try:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, log out, clear the cache, and then log back in.
If you're converting from within Reader, choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version.
Please let us know how it goes. If you're still having problems, please let us know how you're converting, what browser you're using, and whether you're on Mac OS and Windows. We'll do some deeper digging if need be.
Best,
Sara
