Problem Printing document properties from Word to PDF

Hello all,
This is wierd, I need to print from MS Word doc 2002 SP2 to PDF version 9.3.4. When I do so, I need to pass the document properties from the word file to the PDF such as author, subject, title, etc. What is strainge is when i click the pdf button in word they do pass over but when I go to >>File>>print and select PDF they do not, and yes I did select the "Add document information" check box in the Adobe PDF settings dialog. I need to print this because I am doing a batch print process that requires it to be printed.
HELP.

Print transparent object in Word to pdf and then to printer ugly.

Dear All,
I have a Word document in which I have a bitmap figure. Over this bitmap I have drawn a green 50% transparent rectangle. When printing this directly from Word to the printer everything is fine, if I print it first to a pdf using Acrobat I get a pdf that looks allright (the transparency is simulated by a very fine checker board pattern) but when I then print this pdf to my printer I get interference in the transparent region, which makes this unusable. My guess is that the printer is trying to print this fine pattern and fails. The solution would be that when printing to a pdf the pdf should contain a transparent rectange instead of a checker board pattern.
Is there anybody with the same problem or someone who knows how to solve this? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Vincent

Problem solved!!
Besides the large bitmap I also had an Excel graph pasted into my Word document. This also gave problems. The solution was to shrink the size of the bitmap by first croping it and that pasting it into the Word document, and the graph from Excel has the be pasted as Windows metafile picture. Then using the PDF button in Word creates a pdf with the correct transparency objects. I cannot print the pdf right now because my printer is down but I have no doubt it will work.
Thanks a lot!!

How to use .joboptions file while converting from Word to PDF

Hi,
I'm pretty new to Acrobat. I'm using Acrobat XI. I need to convert a word document to a PDF file which conforms to certain requirements described by a given .joboptions file. The .joboptions file can be opened by distiller, but as far as I know distiller is not invovled in the conversion (Word to PDF) process. So how can I make sure the converted PDF file meets the requirement described by the .joboptions file?

Distiller is used when converting from Word to PDF, if you do it via the Acrobat panel, not the Adobe PDF printer or Word's internal Export to PDF command. If you've loaded your joboptions file in Distiller (via Settings - Add Adobe PDF Settings), then you will see it in the drop-down of Conversion Settings when you click the Preferences button in the Acrobat panel in Word.
After you've selected your job options profile click the Create PDF button, and the file will be converted using the selected options.

More problems while converting hyperlinks in word to pdf - missing first words

I'm using Microsoft Office Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (I think on Windows XP).
If I have a word document with a working hyperlink when I convert it to PDF (using the Acrobat button in Word)I end up with a working hyperlink in the pdf file but it is missing the first word. For example :
in Word the hyperlinked phrase will be http:/tinyurl.com/MarinaBloj but in the pdf version it will be :/tinyurl.com/MarinaBloj
or
in Word the hypelinked phrase will be "Sensitivity to luminance and chromaticity gradients in a complex scene." but in the pdf version it will be " to luminance and chromaticity gradients in a complex scene." with an extra blank space.
worse, if in the word it is a single word, say "PDF" then all you get in the created pdf document is " " i.e. a blank space that is actually is a hyperlink (you can see the corresponding address if you hover the mouse).

I am experiencing the exact problem...hyperlinks work after conversion from Word to pdf however first word is missing. I can only reproduce the problem on one computer. Other computers I have tried it on do not have that problem. Here is a work around i found....You can select the entire document (Ctrl + Shift + End from the beginning), then go to "Create PDF". Go into Options and select the "Selection" option. Then proceed to convert the document. It's a workaround but I'd like to know what the cause of the problem is.

Mac OS 10.6.7 corrupt font on export from Word to PDF

Hi,
I have a library of Word documents that use our corporate font: Officina Sans ITC Pro Book. I have previously saved these as PDF using Word for Mac and opening in Acrobat Pro 9 without any difficulty.
Today however, while Word will export and create the PDF. When the PDF is opened in Acrobat it comes up blank and crashes Acrobat. I have tried exporting from Word to PostScript, but this fails: "Stack:/Font-dict-/ZCYKUX+OfficinaSansITCPro-Book".
The font is avialable on the Mac. I have validated the font and using Font Finagler I have cleared the cache. All without success.
One pointer is the additional six digits in the PS log, which is in front of the font name.
Anyone got any ideas on how to clear the problem and start export cleanly from Word to PDF again?
Thanks,
Niall

Thanks Steve,
The link described our situation. You are correct: yes our font is OpenType PostScript and, yes I had updated to OS 10.6.7.
I have been busy reading. For other readers there is a long thread here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2792142&start=0&tstart=0, where I see that you have also participated.
I have posted constructive critisim to Apple on the OS update. However I don't think there will be a quick fix.
I will probably downgrade back to 10.6.6, but need to steel myself for the task.
Thanks also to Larry and Michael!
Niall

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

HP printer only prints blank pages from Word or Pages

My HP all in one printer only prints blank pages from Word or Pages documents, prints ok from anything else. Any ideas? Have deleted and readded printer removed HP software reinstalled software from Apple etc. Help please!

If this just happens from these two programs, it's most likely a driver conflict. If typically using an alternate driver will alow you to get around this. To try this, add the printer's que to the Mac. Click the dropdown next to Use and choose a driver that's not for your printer. Typically the best one to try is another Photosmart dirver, but Deskjet drivers will work as well. I would make the instructions a bit more clear, but I don't have access to a 10.6 Mac. Let me know if this works or not.

Black Pages - Convert from Word to PDF

When I convert a Word document to a PDF, the pages on the PDF document are black. This only happens on select Word document that use a specific cover graphic. I've sent the same document to a co-worker and they were able to convert the document to PDF with no issues. I have verified my preferences with my co-worker and these are the same. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (10). I was previously able to convert a Word document with the same graphic to PDF without any issues. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Adobe Reader can't convert from Word to PDF.

Since 11-4-14 every convert from Word to PDF has failed online or desktop - when will this be sorted

Since 11-4-14 EVERY convert from Word to PDF either online or desktop has failed, when will this be fixed?

No replies on here so went online and tried various options including "repair reader installation" plus uninstall and reinstall etc, some posts suggested a repair from the Printers file (Vista) so installed AdobeCreatePDF desktop printer plus Xerox Phaser PS printer as advised. All without any obvious sucess ie still no word docs converted after hours of trying. Then unexpectedly a further test convert attempt succeeded; tested again on desktop plus online and now all works fine as it did before. Who knows why - possibly only Adobe know. Will leave this thread here just in case the fail reappears over next few days!

How do I save bookmarks from word to pdf?

How do I save bookmarks from word to pdf?

Eustace Mendis wrote:
Not convinced it can't be done... but then I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want to do.
I believe what the original poster wants to do is preserve the bookmarks of a Word file into the interactive bookmarks feature of the PDF specification, so that the bookmarks appear as a clickable linked table of contents when that Word file is converted to PDF. You see this in every ebook or iBook. This is easy to do when converting Word to PDF in Microsoft Windows, but I am not sure it is possible from Mac Word because everybody complains about it on the Mac side.
Converting bookmarks to a clickable PDF TOC is easy to do in other software on the Mac, like InDesign. Apple Pages might do it too, but I'm not sure.

How can I send scanned files, which are documents changed from doc to PDF, as documents that can be edited if the recipient doesn't have Adobe capabilities?

How can I send scanned files, which are documents changed from doc to PDF, as documents that can be edited if the recipient doesn't have Adobe capabilities?

Hi flaviusjack,
If you still have the .doc files, it might be best to send those to your recipients so they can be edited. Otherwise, you can use ExportPDF to convert the PDF files back to .doc format. But, again, that step would be unnecessary if you have the .doc files.
Best,

I'm getting # marks when printing from Word to .pdf; what's going on?

I recently reinstalled OS and all software, including Acrobat 9. (No virus, just like to freshen things up on the system.) Now, when I print from Word to a .pdf file, I get # marks inserted near header and footer. This never happened before. I unchecked the box (under properties) that says, "rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" and that made them go away, but I never had to mess with that previously. Is that, in fact, the solotion, or is there something else going on that needs to be corrected?
Thanks

The check box was checked by default. I made no revisions to the settings after reinstalling Adobe.
As noted, this had never happened before. The document was a letter with a letterhead graphic inserted (.png I believe). When I pulled up various old letters I prepared using the letterhead template or even the blank letterhead template itself and printed to .pdf, the # marks showed up, whereas that had never happened previously. Again, though, I made no changes to the default settings, so I'm wondering whether unchecking the check box really did take care of the problem or is just "masking" or "hiding" some other issue.

Mac: no PDFMaker, so printing from Word to PDF has inactive links

I have written a fabulous document in Microsoft Word, which has paragraph numbering, and many ‘Insert > Cross-reference…’ links to paragraphs. And it contains lots of ‘Insert > Hyperlink…’ links to external documents. It’s fabulous.
If I saved this to PDF using a Windows machine, those links would work in the PDF. Clicking on a cross-reference would jump there; clicking on an external link would command the default browser to do the obvious thing. Hurray!
But on the Mac, the external links aren’t there. Not if I do “Save as PDF…”, nor if I do it via Adobe Acrobat XI with “Save as Adobe PDF”.
If the link text is there “http://…” then the PDF reader guesses it is a link, and it works. But if ordinary words have been made into a link, it is formatted as a link but is inactive.
Please, how can Adobe be persuaded to release PDFMaker for the Mac? Or otherwise make this work? (Adobe Acrobat XI: Help and tutorials (September 2013), on page 46: “PDFMaker is not available for Mac OS. However, you can still create PDFs from many business applications using the File > Print command. In the Print dialog box, choose Save AsAdobe PDF from the PDF menu.”)
FYI, I also asked this question on the Microsoft side, but other than discovering that PDFMaker would solve my problem if it existed for the Mac, that didn’t help.
Versions:
Mac: OS X Mavericks 10.9.5
Word: Word for Mac 2011 Version 14.4.3 (140616)
Adobe Acrobat XI: 11.0.09

Actually PDF Maker has never been available on the MAC as I understand it. At Buying guide | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro it is indicated that PDF Maker is available on on Windows (has a little dagger that indicates this and is probably hard to catch). I can understand that it may be related to the way that OFFICE is written for the MAC. One of the members drops by to help folks with MAC issues like this at times. He apparently has some work-arounds. If the MS PDF plugin will create the links on the MAC, then an alternative is to print the document to an temp file and create the base file with the plugin, then use replace pages to get the printed version included, or just live with the MS produced version. I don't remember if the MS plugin creates the bookmarks and such.

Problems with tablesalignment (from Word to PDF)

Hello,
Ive downloaded the trialversion of Acrobat because our company needs to make little pdf's out of 40/50 documents and i want to try what program is best for our...
The thing is: i just cant get the tables right (sry for my bad english ) This problem exist with: Docx, doc, pdf, etc. etc.
When i have a table, with the upper standardscellsalignment set to 0,1 cm. The tables get messed up when i export it to an PDF. However, when i print it, its normal !!! (???)
The most upper horizontale lines are gone and the vertical connections arent any good.
I tried every setting, but i just cant seem to find whats wrong. I also tried 4 other programs, but same problems (also the standard saveoption in word: save word to pdf makes the same error.
There are 2 weird (part)-solutions: when i dissable the upper standard cell alignment in the table, so set to 0, and then save.... and the problem is gone (but i really need this upper cell alignment).
Other solution: When i dissable all the collours in the table, it is (almost) oke, but not completly. (but this isnt an option also)
I inserted some pictures to give you the full view:
Picture 1: on the left you see the result when i save it with word tot pdf acrobat, on the right you see the originaldocument.
Picture 2: An closeup of the problems with the lines.
Picture 3: The settings in Word, what is causing the problem
Thank you in advance!
Greetings, Coen

Hi Coen1413,
Is it possible for you to share your doc also from which you created the PDF?
Also please let us know your Office version and OS details.
Thanks,
