Problems with saving Word 2007 table as PDF

I have a table in MS Word 2007 with some merged cells. If I use the Save as ... PDF or XPS option in Word 2007 to save this document as a PDF, the resulting PDF has a table with a discontinuous table grid. The table lines around the cells are broken.
Is this a problem with the Word table or does the Save as PDF command not work well with tables.
Thanks,
Karl Smith

What versions of both programs and how did you create the PDF? Can you post an example of the PDF?

Problem with saving an Ai file to PDF in Illustrator CS4 Professional

Hello guys, I have an interesting problem. The machine has Windows Vista Enterprise with the latest updates and office 2007 Pro+. The version of adobe installed is Adobe CS4 Professional, in which has the Illustrator and Acrobat updated to the latest patches. This has happened to the user over the weekend; all of the sudden when she tries to save an Ai file to PDF, it hangs not even bringing up the dialog box. However, in all the other Adobe programs are able to save it as a PDF. Now I am able to print from Illustrator into Acrobat, but it doesn't save it to a full sized "page". I tried saving any Ai file to a different file and then try to save as a PDF....no dice. This is the second time around where this has happened. Now here is the kicker, since I'm an admin it will work like a charm under my login; the user is a restricted user (no admin rights). I also changed the default printer for her, to a local printer.. (read somewhere about that) no dice. Any help would obviously be appreciated. THX

Yup, that could also be possible. Had a similar problem where the IE add-in for Adobe Reader did not work anymore. And I had to get a patch from MS for office. And it was only available by request only.

Problems with saving and sending info in PDF form

Hi,
I'm trying to make a PDF form in Indesign CS5, exporting it to PDF, opening in Acrobat 9 Pro, and get the form to be able to send the info I type in the fields.
So far I've had no problems making the form, exporting it, opening it in Acrobat 9 Pro, getting Acrobat 9 Pro to recognize the fields and save the form.
However, I'd opened the form and filled it out and attached it to an email, and when I got the email, the form was blank.
How do I get the form to save the data so it can be emailed?
thanks for any help.
Phil

(Acrobat Pro and Pro Extended) Choose Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader.
I have somehow solved the problem. I tried using the above direction and it seems to have fixed the problem. I don't seem to get the message about not being able to save anymore and can send a completed PDF form that retains the information typed into the form.
Thanks for all who made suggestions.

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

Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9

Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9
I have a Word 2007 DOC (not docx) file with pictures and text which converted perfectly with Distiller 8. I installed CS4 Distiller 9, and now the same DOC file flows over onto several extra pages. I am using the default settings. Any idea what has changed. Thanks in advance.

First, select the Adobe PDF printer in WORD. Then go through the document to check for the flow of the document. It should print the same as you see in the document after the printer has been selected.

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

Word 2007 doc to PDF missing bookmark numbers

Hi,
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro to convert a Word 2007 doc to PDF. The doc converts fine and I get the bookmarks.
The problem though is that the generated bookmarks are missing their numbers.
For example:
In Word 2007, it will look like:
1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
In Acrobat 9 Pro generated PDF, it looks like:
Overview
Introduction
I looked through the forums and other people have posted similar questions but no resolution was seen.
Can somebody please help out?
I talked to Adobe tech support and they were no help.
Thanks

Hi all,
Here is an update to this issue.
First of all I agree with Nick that this *is* an Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro issue. (Possibly even with older versions).
Anyway below are the steps I followed to get this to work. It is quite a round about way but I'm happy I got it to work.
* Generate the PDF as usual from Word 2007. (Maybe you don't need to generate the bookmarks here because we are going to delete them later anyway).
* Open the newly generated PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro
* Click on the Bookmarks tab---if you have the Word 2007 generated bookmarks here select them all (Ctrl-A) and delete them :(
* Then click on the "Gears" icon in the Bookmarks tab.
* In the drop down menu select the "New Bookmarks from Structure..."
* Highlight the structures you wish to have for your bookmarks. For example I chose H1, H2, H3 assuming those were Heading1, ...
* Click OK
* The newly generated bookmarks contain section numbers
* Unfortunately this shows up within a bookmark called "Untitled" So I again select all (Ctrl-A)
* Unselect "untitled" and move (drag) everything else to one level above "Untitled"
* Then I delete "Untitled".
Unfortunately this new bookmark is a flat structure---i.e. you cannot collapse it.
Oh well! At least it works.
If any of you can come up with a better solution, please post it here :)
Thanks

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.

Converting Word 2007 files to PDF

Hi,
When I convert Word 2007 file to PDF via Acrobat Pro. 9, The Section Titles show on the bookmark area are as usual, but the Section number for the titles are disappear. For Example: the title set as "1.1 Test", the bookmark shows only "Test" and the "1.1" is disappeared. (the title assigned as style heading 3 and the section number is generated by multi-level list).
I have been converting Word 2003 file via Acrobat Pro. 7 and Word 2007 file Via Acrobat 8.1, they are all fine.
I tried to change settings on PDFmaker for Acorbat Pro 9 and failed. I also checked through the manual and found nothing. Can anyone tell me how to have both the section number and title show on the Bookmark section of PDF file with my present MS Word 2007 setting (the title assigned as style heading 3 and the section number is generated by multi-level list)?
Thanks,
Jeffrey

Steve, Samnol,
Thanks for your advice and sorry for the late reponse because I tried to re-install Acrobat 8 and 9 and see if anything changed.
The good news I got from this weekend is that the problem regarding the "Missing of section numbers in the Bookmark when I converted the Word 2007 to PDF" has been resolved after I update the patch published on 01 March 2009. I will keep running Rev 9 on trail basis and work out the recommendation to the company. I am glad that I can get rid of the old Office 2003 and Acrobat 7 for the time being. It has been a heck for me to run dual Office system.
Thanks again for the advise.
Jeffrey

Convert Word 2007 doc to PDF, numbered bookmarks lose numbering

I've never had trouble converting a Word 2007 document to PDF before. All the bookmarks I selected converted nicely and retained their numbering. Recently my IT department upgraded me to Acrobat Pro X and I'm having several bookmark issues.
1. Some of the bookmarks I select in the Acrobat ribbon --> Preferences --> Bookmarks are not converted and I have to manually create them in the PDF.
2. None of the bookmarks retain Word numbering. I have Word 2007 Headings numbered in the document, but in the PDF, none of the bookmarks are numbered. This is a major pain to edit each bookmark to add the proper heading numbers (1, 1.1, 1.2, 2, 2.1, etc.).
Are these known issues and are defect corrections in the works? Is anyone else having these problems?

I'm having the same problem. As you can see, the number appears in the heading, which came from MS Word, but not in the bookmark.

Converting Word 2007 Styles to PDF

I just upgraded to word 2007. I don't have the PDF Maker for word installed (where you see the Acrobat option on the toolbar in word), and not sure it will install with 2007. So the first question is: Does it? Second question. If you can install PDF Maker with Word 2007, How do you go about doing it? Reinstall Acrobat? (note: I have acrobat 8 professional) And finally the third question is: if PDF Maker can't be installed to work with Word 2007, how do you automatically convert word 2007 Styles into PDF bookmarks. I'd rather not have to recreate them all after creating the PDF.
Thanks in advance.
Rob

Aha! That was the missing piece. After the 8.1.2 update, I now see the Acrobat toolbar in word. All set! I was freaking out when I didn't see the toolbar, but did see the acrobat macro in word. Phew.
Thanks for your help!

Problems with Saved Watermarks - Wrong Font Size

Hi,
I am having problems with "Saved" Watermarks, as when I selected them they have the wrong font size.
I created a Watermark (Draft) to be placed on the lower right
corner of a PDF, using font Arial-10. This watermark has been save using the "Save Settings..." in Watermarks.
When I add this this "saved" watermark to a new PDF, the font size is wrong
(much much bigger), even though the Add Watermark windows reports Arial-10. Only by a selecting a different font size and changing it back to the saved font size (10) I get the correct Font Size in the PDF.
I had a similar problem with the placement, but managed to solve that by setting the Preference>User&Guide to the used Unit (Page&Ruler = centimeters). But for the font size I can't find anything in the preference.
Any Help or Suggestions ?

Hi,
Sorry forgot to add, I am using
Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 on Windows XP Prof.
Cheers
Johannes

Problems with retrieving data from tables with 240 and more records

Hi,
I've been connecting to Oracle 11g Server (not sure exact version) using Oracle 10.1.0 Client and O10 Oracle 10g driver. Everything was ok.
I installed Oracle 11.2.0 Client and I started to have problems with retrieving data from tables.
First I used the same connection string, driver and so on (O10 Oracle 10g) then I tried ORA Oracle but with no luck. The result is like this:
I'm able to connect to database. I'm able to retrieve data but from small tables (e.g. with 110 records it works perfectly using both O10 and ORA drivers). When I try to retrieve data from tables with like 240 and more records retrieval simply hangs (nothing happens at all - no error, no timeout). Application seems to hang forever.
I'm using Powerbuilder to connect to Database (either PB10.5 using O10 driver or PB12 using ORA driver). I used DBTrace, so I see that query hangs on the first FETCH.
So for the retrievals that hang I have something like:
(3260008): BIND SELECT OUTPUT BUFFER (DataWindow):(DBI_SELBIND) (0.186 MS / 18978.709 MS)
(3260008): ,len=160,type=DECIMAL,pbt=4,dbt=0,ct=0,prec=0,scale=0
(3260008): ,len=160,type=DECIMAL,pbt=4,dbt=0,ct=0,prec=0,scale=1
(3260008): ,len=160,type=DECIMAL,pbt=4,dbt=0,ct=0,prec=0,scale=0
(3260008): EXECUTE:(DBI_DW_EXECUTE) (192.982 MS / 19171.691 MS)
(3260008): FETCH NEXT:(DBI_FETCHNEXT)
and this is the last line,
while for retrievals that end, I have FETCH producing time, data in buffer and moving to the next Fetch until all data is retrieved
On the side note, I have no problems with retrieving data either by SQL Developer or DbVisualizer.
Problems started when I installed 11.2.0 Client. Even if I want to use 10.0.1 Client, the same problem occurs. So I guess something from 11.2.0 overrides 10.0.1 settings.
I will appreciate any comments/hints/help.
Thank you very much.

Installing 11g client changed something that even using old 10g client (which I still have installed) fails to work. The same problem occur no matter I'm using 10g or 11g client now. Powerbuilder hangs on retrieving tables with more than like 240 records.
Thanks.

Problem with "Saved with Id" in Reports

Hi Group,
I am having problem with "Saved with id" functionality.
1.) I created a Query in sq01 as "query1".
2.) Copied the source code of this query into a z program
ztest_query.
3.) Now executed the report "ztest_query" in background with "Saved with Id" checkbox checked and id as "1234".
4.) Now where/how can I search for this id "1234" to retrieve my list.
5.) Normally if I dont change the report name and use the program aq*query1 which is self generated one, this works and I am able to retrieve the saved list from Transaction
SQ01.
Please let me know how this can be achieved.
Regards
Ankur Bhandari

Ankur,
Did you find a solution for this problem. Not many seem to be using this "Save list to id" functionality.
Thanks
Vyas
