Publish Handouts in Word 2007 not working

Our office recently upgraded to Word 2007 and now I am unable
to publish Word handouts in Captivate. I have tried both Captivate
2 and 3, and neither work. I get the following message:
An error was encountered while publishing to Word. Please check
and make sure Word is not busy and try again.
Anyone ever seen this before? Word is not currently running,
no documents open, etc.
Thanks,

Hi Erin,
I just ran into this same issue. I found a fix on the following Microsoft site:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.off iceupdate&tid=d2bb191a-1c07-4c15-99bd-e1276ff88798&cat=&lang=&cr=&sloc=&p=1
Basically it said to remove the converter from the registry, and Word 2007 would use it's own converters.
Hope you find this helpful!

Problem Publishing Handouts to Word 2003

I am having a problem publishing from Adobe Captivate 4 to Word 2003. I have followed all steps to create the file:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
Select File > Publish.
In the Publish dialog box, select Print.
In Project Title, enter the desired name without the filename extension (.doc).
In Folder, enter the full path for the folder in which to save the file or click Browse to locate the folder.
Select an Export range. The export range is made up of the slides that you want to export to Word. You can select all slides, the current slide, a selection, or a range of slides.
In Type, select Handouts.
Select from the following Handout Layout options: Use Tables In The Output, Slides Per Page, Caption Text, Add Blank Lines For Notes, etc.
When you finish, click Publish.
The problem occurs when I open the Word doc--all slide notes and info is there, but the images themselves are not in the Word doc. I have tried publishing as a storyboard, lesson, handout and step by step--the issue occurs in all scenarios.
Thank you!

Hello
Perhaps you already checked it, but I did not read it in your posting: in the Handout Layout Options, did you activate 'Include objects and Question slides'? Those objects are all the 'graphical' things like images, the captions (not the text in the captions), the drawings...

Problems converting from MS Word 2007 to PDF using LiveCycle Designer 8

Hi all,
Hope anybody out there could assist me. have a Word document (we are using
Office 2007) and I'm trying to use Adobe Live Cycle Designer 8.0 to convert
a form from word to pdf. However, I get an error message (as shown in the
image below)
Is this a compatibility problem with Office 07?
Appreciate all the assistance.
Thanks and regards.

Hi Peggy,
I found a solution in a tech note from the adobe site:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=329044&sliceId=2
2007 is a little tricky, since the instructions it gives are for Office 2003.
In 2007 I went into "Word Options" from that funky button at the top of the Word window.
From there, go into "Add Ins".
At the bottom where it says "Manage" select "Com Add Ins" then click "Go".
You should have a list that includes the Acrobat PDFMaker Office Add In. My Add In file is located at: \\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll
The document finally converted, but it couldn't autodetect any of the form fields I'd placed on the original Word Document (.docx). Still looking for an answer on that one.
Good luck.

Acrobat 8.1.6 and Word 2007 - PDF printing problem

I have a weird problem with printing a word 2007 document to the Adobe PDF printer (distiller). I hope someone can help with this.
My two-page Word document has a background color, text, text boxes and two imported images (both under 500kb). Now, the problem is two-fold:
If the 'print background color' option is disabled (unchecked), the PDF looks okay, but the background color vanishes as does text within text boxes (the text boxes themselves appear fine).
If the 'print background color' option is enabled, the PDF shows only the background color, but no text!
In either case, the PDF generation takes an unusually long time.
I tried to follow the advices given in other threads, and looked for the presence of Acrotray.exe (it was present during the process). I also tried printing the document to a file (.prn), renaming the extension to .ps, and double-clicking it to send the job to distiller - every time with the same result.
I must mention that if I use Word 2007's own 'Save to PDF' feature, it generates a clean PDF without any problem. It is only the Acrobat Distiller that is giving me endless grief. Can someone knowledgeable please help me with this issue?

I have an update. This is even weirder. It turns out that after I generate the PDF and only the background color shows up, I can use the Touch Up Object tool to select the entire page (by clicking anywhere in the colored area), and press 'delete'. If I do this, parts of the background color gets deleted, revealing the text underneath - including the background color!!!!! And doing this repeatedly, I can remove this strange 'overshadow' and find everything (image, text, text box) intact underneath. I can do the same to the text box, and eventually, the missing text appears there.
I, of course, have to do this for every single page!
In summary, it is almost as if my text and images are being covered by a sheet with the same color as the background, which I am then removing part by part - with each stroke of the delete key - much like opening a . Strangely, this happens for each page except the last page (which prints fine - with images and texts etc.)
Does anyone have a clue about this?
Update: I hadn't seen the replies from Bill and Lori when I posted this. Thank you both for replying! I do think that the problem is with transparency, given what I found out just now (written here). However, I have tried different PDF settings, standard and high quality (this is the one I normally use), and yet I have had the same issue!

BUG: ThinkVantage Password Manager and Word 2007 (possibly just on Windows 7)

Hi,
With MS Support I have just been working though a problem with Microsoft Word 2007 on Windows 7 with Client Security Solutions 8.3 (which is Windows 7 compatible).
The problem is that in Word 2007 (and therefor emails in Outlook 2007) I cannot select text after pressing the Enter key for a new line.
After uninstalling/reinstalling office, removing printers, addins, templates, etc I have discovered that the problem goes away when I exit the Password Manager application.
I have tried adding winword.exe as an exception but that doesn't help. For now I have had to stop the Password Manager loading on startup.
Could Lenovo please advise with a fix for this issue.

Bug? Accessibility Tags Converting from Word 2007

This seems like a minor issue, but it's one that could create a lot of frustration for a disabled person using a screenreader to read tabular data in a PDF.
As you know, Acrobat plays nicely with Office apps allowing users to create tagged (structured), accessible PDF documents from MS Office files. I just created a simple docx file with a table (attached), and when I converted it to PDF, I noticed a difference in the tags it creates compared to conversion from Word XP. As you see in the Word file, the table is very basic, except that one of its column headers is split into two cells. This is actually a very common technique for presenting table data. In order to automatically tag the header rows as table header cells <TH> in the PDF, I set the first two rows to "Repeat Header Rows."
Converting from Word 2007 with the "Save as Adobe PDF," or any other method that uses the Acrobat plugin, creates a tag tree that is missing a <TH> tag. I found the problem when I was testing a file with JAWS screenreading software. Using the JAWS "current cell" command (Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 5) to announce the column headers. It reads the wrong header for the current cell due to the missing <TH>. So, in my example file, it announces $2 and $5 as 2010 amounts rather than 2009. That could be pretty confusing to a screen reading user, to say the least.
I then compared the result to the new Word 2007 "Save as PDF or XPS" feature. That feature tagged the file properly and the header columns match up.
Compare the attached "save-as-adobe-pdf.gif" to"save-as-pdf-xps.gif". Note the empty (but necessary) <TH> tag in the latter image.
Just as a sanity check I had a coworker with Word XP convert the file. Those tags were correct too. So, this must be a problem between Acrobat and Word 2007.
Anyone have other observations on this? I'm going to be leading some accessibility training and right now, it looks like using the Word 2007 conversion feature is the way to go.
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
I sense your frustration. For any organization that has to or wants to engage in providing accessible online information
a serious logistics support issue raises its head. To do PDF, HTML, whatever the proper way (and it can be done)
requires more resources (training, knowledge, hardware, software, changes to work flows, perhaps some more staff).
The is no "work smarter with less & pump out more" in this venue.
Yes, it is helpful (and necessary) to "be one" with the S508 "paragraphs" - WCAG 1.0 - WCAG 20.
However, once anyone begins to provide PDFs that must be "accessible" the first, single most important reference is ISO 32000.
The Adobe PDF References that preceded PDF becoming an ISO Standard are useful; but, ISO 32000 is the standard.
In this documentation there is full discussion of what *must* be done to provide an accessible PDF.
Without a firm understanding of this content, other information tends to bring about a defused opacity of focus which can
contribute to major conceptual errors vis-a-vis accessible PDF.
Leonard Rosenthol's AUC blog entry provides a link to the ISO permitted Adobe version (free) of ISO 32000-1.
http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/leonardr/adobe-posts-free-iso-32000
Additional, useful information is found in these two documents:
(1) - PDF Accessibility API Reference (from the Acrobat SDK)
https://acrobat.com/#d=J7bWW4LvNoznh8fHCsfZDg
(2) - Reading PDF Files Through MSAA
https://acrobat.com/#d=uIOvkVTP74kag3bXFJLIeg
About JAWS - Yes, much used. However, not the exlusively used AT application.
If I use Windows Eyes, NVDA, a braille reader, or something else then what?
JAWS *does not* define "it is accessible"...
re: (1)
"Game away and if it ...."
 Consider "Stop before right on red".
 "Compliance" is Stop on Red - Turn Right
 "Intent" (aka usability) is Stop on Red - Look Good for on coming traffic that has the right of way - Yield - when clear, turn right.
But, at least we are not talking about "left on red" 8^)
re: (2)
Just an observation. A defective product that claims to be "whole" can get entities (individuals/businesses) into a sticky wicket.
Putting a high volume of defective products on one's selves only increases the probability that one gets 'busted'.
Quantity replacing Quality just is not a success precursor.
Case in point - Target and the national class action legal action that was taken against it with regards to "accessibility" of online information/services.
Resolved now - see NFB's web site.
re: (3)
Ah, but what would Judge Judy or Judge Marily say?
Efficiency does not preclude providing a "whole" product.
I doubt that there will ever be a seamless "one-click" between products of any of the dominant software houses.
They are intense competitors. That this is the case does not abrogate others from providing a "whole" product, no?
So, if the organization wants the "we do accessible PDF" label then it pays the freight - Adobe Pro, training, appropriate work flows, etc
that permit delivery of PDFs that meet the standards for what a well formed tagged output PDF is (accessible is a sub-set of this).
For PDF there is no other way.
If this cannot be done then there is always HTML as an acceptable method (to some it is the preferred and only "true" way).
However, HTML, done "right" for accessiblilty is just as demanding in its own way.
With each AT version / dot version release, JAWS - Windows Eyes - NVDA & others hone in closer on utilizing PDF ISO Standard 32000.
That means if you deploy "accessible" PDF you need to provide PDF that live to the ISO standard.
Keep in mind that S508's paragraphs began when, effectively, HTML was "it". In software terms that was geologic eons ago.
For contemporary AT to effectively parse PDF, the PDF must be a well formed Tagged PDF having a format/layout that reflects a logical hierarchy.
Creation of all this must start in the authoring environment with the content author.
The post-process PDF output then assures that the PDF elements (tags) are the correct type, have the requisite attributes, etc.
Without this, AT will not be able to provide the end-user effect utilization of the PDF.
So, for AT to properly 'work' the PDF, <TH> elements *must* have the Scope attribute's value defined, Row and Column Span values defined, etc.
Scope, Row Span, Column Span, Table IDs and Headings must be added as part of the post-processing of a PDF using Acrobat Professional.
An alternative is the Netcentric CommonLook plug-in for Acrobat Professional. What it does, Acrobat Pro can do; however, the CommonLook
provides a robust user interface. Downside: at some $1k per seat it is not 'cheap' and it has a *steep* learning curve (Sitka Pass?).
Two table related resources are at this AUC thread (in post 3 and 4). They may be of some usefulness.

When the "smelly stuff" gets feed into the maw of the fan it's prudent to not be directly down stream, eh.
Consider Target and the situation they put themselves in.
Consider submittal of accessible PDF to fedgov or stategov agencies.
They won't be in front of the fan if usability of the PDFs becomes an issue.
Rather, it will be those submitting. After all the agency did say "accessible".
Better to slow down and do it right or ramp up resource loading to support "schedule" than to stake oneself out as someones "feed" tomorrow, no?
In the final analysis, for PDF, HTML, or any 'format', Accessibility is the Usability + Compliance.
Does it take improvements in professional development/training, adequate hardware/software, *time*?
Yes. But, it all comes down to "where the rubber hits the road" - what tires are you on?
It can be done. I do it one small step at a time every day. Often, that's what it takes.
Deliverables are provided; but, with no mis-labeling and the incremental progress is identified, celebrated and the whole thing continues until
the "road" is completed properly.
Don't want wash outs, bridge collapse or what not tomorrow <g>.
(But then I'm a fan of "Holmes on Homes" which may go a long way towards understanding my point of view when it comes to accessible PDF.)
re: function(){Return ....
Good question.
My guess - either from the cut & paste I initially performed from the application I'd been using to assemble write up and screenshots or something associated with the Adobe Forum application.
It can't be that I'm 'special'; if that was the case one of my occassional lotto quick picks would have been a big $ winner long ago <G>.
fwiw -
You'll find a number of "Accessible PDF" related resources in the threads at the AUC Accessibility Forum.

Published Captivate 5 files look distorted in MS Word 2007

I am trying to create handouts for my Captivate 5 project. I would like the following format:
- 4 slides per page
- Display Slide Notes
- Display objects and questions
When I publish the handouts to MS Word 2007, the slide images appears squashed (distorted). See example below.
The images should have a 4 by 3 aspect ratio. Note: when I publish the handouts in the "no table" mode (1 slide per page), the slide images look correct (but this wastes lots of paper).
Also, this problem did not occur on the same computer running Captivate 4.
I understand that it might be possible to modify the "Word Publish Template" to customize the MS Word layout. I'm willing to do this, but would like to get a copy of the "default template" to use as a starting point.
How do I fix this problem or get a sample Word Publish Template?
Any help would be appreciated.

For the replace and delete pages, I can only guess that you are messing up some of the bookmarks or links in the page from what I think you have based on the description. I would work on copies between each stage so that you can at least go back to the last success stage. If possible, you are better to go back and do the modifications in the original page and the recreate the PDF. If that is not possible, then maybe a better explanation of how you are creating the PDF would help folks understand your process fully and suggest a solution.
On the latter, I would do a repair on Acrobat. However, it may be in the process you are using in the conversion from WORD. How are you creating the PDF from WORD? Have you updated AA9 and not simply have 9.0? The confusing point is that you talk about Distiller for getting the PDF from WORD. Distiller is often involved, but only behind the scenes and normally you either print to the Adobe PDF printer, use PDF Maker, or use the MS plugin for PDF creation. So when stating Distiller, it is unclear what process you are using since none of the methods I mention state the use of Distiller even if it is used in the background.

Duplex Printing Problem - Word 2007, Vista and HP Officejet Pro L7780

I'm having trouble with duplex printing on my new HP Officejet Pro L7780, from Word 2007, running on a brand new Vista system. I've also had this same problem (repeatable) with two other computers, running XP Professional/Word 2003, XP Home/Word 2003. All of the service packs have been installed for the operating system, word, and printer.
If you print a landscape document, using the auto duplex setting for the HP printer, the margins will print out offset by .25 inches, on the left and rigt margins. So if your margin is 1 inches on right and left, the margins will print to .75 on one side and 1.25 on the other. This would be annoying, except that I'm trying to print brochures and books, which requires that the pages print out exactly as set up... "close enough" isn't working for me
The way I have replicated this problem is as follows: set up a document in landscape format, using the default margins. Insert an image on page one, size it so it takes the full margin area. On the second page, fill it up with text. Print the document, selecting the printer properties and setting Print on Both Sides=Automatic. The easiest way see the problem is by holding the document up to the light. The front and back margins should match and they don't.
Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.
Diana

Diana,
This problem is perhaps much larger than you might have imagined. We have tried to work with Hewlett Packard for over two years on the duplex printing problems. In the process, we have expended over 100 hours of effort in troubleshooting the problem which has included updating software, reinstalling software, developing test documents, escalating issues, submitting technical findings, and in purchasing replacements. Unfortunately, our efforts to interact with Hewlett Packard excalated support have resulted in an aire of apathy, disinterest, incompetence, frustration, redundancy, occasional discourtesy, and an outright lack of professional decorum - something inconceivable of a large, reputable company.
We have identified several problems with duplex printing. The duplex printing problems include irregular margin increases (.25 to .50 inch), margin shifts, cut-off text, compressed text, and compressed graphics. Please note that most of these problems are only evident when printing documents from computer applications to the printer. If the user simply uses the front printer panel to copy in duplex mode, these problems are not always evident. This suggests that the printer mechanics are capable of properly duplexing and that the problem lies in the drivers.
The problem is evident on the HP OfficeJet Pro L7780, Photosmart L7180, Photosmart C6150, Photosmart 3310, and likely on many, many other HP models. The problem is evident on many computers (HP, IBM, Toshiba, and Dell), is evident in multiple applicatons (Word, Wordperfect, Excel, Peachtree, Notepad, and many more), and is evident on multiple operating systems (Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Media Center Edition, and Microsoft Vista).
We consider ourselves to be extremely polite, patient individuals, but have nearly been driven to outrage by the indignant disregard offered us by HP's escalation support department; a department which should represent the cream-of-the-crop in both service and technical expertise. Given the ease with which the problem can be duplicated, we expected an extremely quick resolution by HP who, to our knowledge, has never even made the effort to duplicate the problem in-house on our behalf.
Ironically, HP highly advertises their J.D. Powers rated technical support, yet it appears that they actually have extremely poor published consumer rankings in some of today's mainstream computer magazines. HP technical support makes no apologies for the fact the user cannot use a major feature of their printers, offers no indication that the problem is even being addressed, and off-loads the responsibility by suggesting that we contact Microsoft (who is to blame for this issue).
Thank you, Diane, for your message. We had a hard time imagining that we were the only one experiencing this problem, especially when HP promotes such a representation. Which also begs the question why HP plays like the problem does not even exist? I also fail to understand why HP technical support shows so little interest in a problem that is easily duplicated and adversely affects a major feature of the printer which is commonly used by individuals purchasing equipment for its duplex capabilities.
This is sad because we have been a loyal customer of HP for over twenty-five years. There was a time when we would have happily endorsed HP's steller products and steller support (provided you could get a problem escalated). Now, however, they all-too-often appear to offer equipment that fails to support advertised features which is backed up by sub-standard support and extremely expensive ink. This is an especially sad commentary for users who are buying HP's upper-end printers and computers.
We desire to know if there are others out there experiencing similar problems? If you have experienced these problems or would like samples of the problems we have duplicated, please respond. I think the more information we gather, the better our chance of a successful resolution to a serious problem.
Thanks Everyone!

Word 2007 to Adobe 8 or Adobe 9 hyperlink conversion problems.

My company has about 40 Adobe Professional licenses.
I cannot get my Word 2007 hyperlinks to convert during a pdf package process. I have tried so many things like changing all the docx to pdf extensions in each of the links either manually or through ReplaceMagic product. I have moved all the 200 procedures into one directory instead of their separate sub directories. I have run document inspector to clean out all but the headers/footers. I keep getting errors usually with "Documents and Settings" as part of the file path. My project is an "Operations and Procedures Manual" with over 200 procedures that have tons of hyperlinks to each other and a directory of about 170 forms (they don't need to be part of the package...just referenced). The procedures we want to open up in pdf format so that they can be searched and cross referenced for terms like "flare" or "safety. The forms we want to remain in Word format for now. I have a table of contents that works great as far as the hyperlinks go when accessing from Word. We need to put this out to over 100 laptops and some desktops in a timely manner. The editing process we can tackle latter...it is this publishing process we need help on.
A side bar problem is that I found a procedure with a problem so I deleted it from the pdf package, went to Word and fixed it (accepted track changes). When I reinserted it back into the package in pdf form, it throws it to the top of my navigation panel instead of numerically with the 10's procedures. I can use the option button at the bottom to sort numerically but it won't stay put after I exit and come back in.
One last problem is that some converted pdfs reflect page 1 of 1, 2 of 2 instead of the 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 as it did in Word. I have reopened the original documents, but can't see any difference between the ones that work and the ones that don't.
My current directory structure is
c:\KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual
C:\KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual\10's Administration
C:\KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual\20's Compression
\KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual\Forms
The Table of Contents is in KRGT Operations and Maintenance Manual.
We need to do edits on this so...the many hundreds of links need to stay in tact.
Any answers would really help me out and make my day..week..month. Thanks for any response.

A few ideas:
I cannot get my Word 2007 hyperlinks to convert during a pdf package process.
In Word, make sure your Adobe PDF conversion setting include Add Links. Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings > Settings tab, Application Settings area, check Add Links.
I keep getting errors usually with "Documents and Settings" as part of the file path......We need to put this out to over 100 laptops and some desktops in a timely manner.
In your example files, many of the links are pointing to your temporary directory. This will cause problems. You need to relink to the proper folder location. For this to work for other employees, the folder location must be accessible by all on the network.
I can use the option button at the bottom to sort numerically but it won't stay put after I exit and come back in.
You can choose how your portfolio is initially sorted (screenshot.52).
One last problem is that some converted pdfs reflect page 1 of 1, 2 of 2 instead of the 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 as it did in Word.
This is often the result of images or document elements extending into the header and footer area. Check and correct this. You will likely see that it happens when printing to paper as well.

Word 2007 published as pdf opens by default in Photoshop

I'm running XP SP2. When I "Save As" a Word 2007 document as "PDF", and then click "Publish", (the file name has an extension of .pdf, and the file type is .pdf), Photoshop opens automatically. What I want to have happen is for the the .pdf document I have created to automatically open in Acrobat Reader, in .pdf format.
I also note that I do have a .pdf printer installed when I go to print from Word.
The Adobe products I have installed are Distiller 4.0 (Acrobat 4.0), and Acrobat Reader 8.1.2. Also, Pagemaker 7.0.2 and Photoshop 6.0.1.
I am totally befuddled.

It is likely that you have file associations messed up in Windows. If you double click a PDF in Explorer, does the file open in Reader or Photoshop? If the latter, you need to fix the file associations. Keep in mind that saving as a PDF from WORD is not the same as creating a PDF using Acrobat (which apparently do not have). For questions about Reader, you should go to the Reader forum in the future. Maybe my guess has answered your current problem.

MS Word 2007 and XML Publisher

Is the BI Publisher Client certified with MS Word 2007? If not how soon it will be? And the last one does anyone come across major problems with this combination?
Tomas

Tomas -
it isn't certified (at least as of yesterday it wasn't) but I use it b/c unfortunately it is the only version we have licensed.
I have run into problems but don't know if it is related to 2007. Also - a lot of the blogs give directions for 2003 and as you know the menus in 2007 are completely different. It takes some digging around to find the same paths.
Let me know if you are trying to do something specific and I will see if I can answer any questions...although I don't know much!

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
