Random bold text appears when converting docx to pdf

I'm having a strange issue. When converting a .docx file to .pdf, Acrobat randomly makes words bold. In some instance an entire sentence becomes bold. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Version 9.2
However, by moving some tabs and margins within the word document, Acrobat suddenly recognized all the characters. Very strange!
So, problem solved.

  • Page Size when converting .docx to pdf

    I am having an issue converting .docx to pdf. I am using a custom page size in word 2007 and saving it, but when i convert to pdf it uses the default 8"/11" format. I have seen it done, but can't get it to work consistently. I am using acrobat 8 pro. Can anyone help?

    What OS? Have you tried to make a custom page size for the Acrobat PDF printer drive?

  • Problems with hyperlink when converting .docx to .pdf using Word 2010

    I have a Word 2010 .docx document that has a link to a web site in it. The link works fine in Word, but does not work after the conversion to PDF. I am using the Acrobat add on in Word to create the PDF.
    There is a pound sign ( # ) in the Word doc hyperlink and it is being changed to a percent sign ( % ) during the conversion to PDF. Any suggestions?

    I will report the bug. I had read about some other problems with .docx files so I saved the .docx to .doc and then converted but I got the same results.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • Can you make a line of text appear when hovering cursor over hotspot?

    Hi guys - i'm new so sorry if this has appeared before, i've had a look for the answer but dont know what the function is called so struggled. Basically, what I want to do is have a line of text appear when the cursor hovers over a hotspot. I want the text to be remote from the hotspot - there are 4 hotspots on the page in different locations but I want the relevant text for each hotspot to appear in the same place. Hope that makes sense. Cheers guys

  • 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)

    Thanks for your quick response.
    I used the program you mentioned to download spool to PDF.The download file is like the link picture.
    And the form will not overlap when I print it immediately.But it will overlap the first line when preview or convert to PDF. My user don't want to print it immediately they want to save it to PDF.
    I know maybe there is something wrong with the format, I tryed retype the text but it didn't works.

  • Convert .docx to .pdf

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.4 and it's unable to convert .docx to .pdf.  Does anyone know of an update that can be downloaded to correct this problem?  I'm creating a large document and the file size is considerably larger in .doc, creating a larger .pdf which I'm unable to email through my work intranet system (due to size of file).  Compressing the file in .pdf (after converting from .doc) isn't sufficient.
    Would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

    Problem has to do with how Office handles Jpg images espcially if transfered from a PC to a Mac, but also if just save a jpeg.  The only thing affected is jpeg images.
    PNG images do not bloat or reduce when going from PC to Mac or Mac to PC. Any image tif, gif, png will work there only is the problem with jpg.
    I'd recommend to go back to your images and convert to PNG  then re-insert them. Then try creating your PDF.
    Also If you must use jpg  if it needs to be emailed then no more 150 dpi Max.

  • When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the numb

    When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the number pages start from the second page.How to keep the original format?

    Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.

  • Word 2003 crashes when converting to a PDF in Acrobat 9.3.1

    OS                    :   Windows XP Pro SP3
    Acrobat Version:   Acrobat Pro 9.3.1. 
    M.S. Product     :  Word 2003
    Not every file will crash Word 2003 when converting to a PDF using Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 but this particular file and some others will produce the following error:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[Page: 1]%%
    %%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: )  '$ $ $ &$   ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    The co-worker was receiving the same error in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 before we updated her to AAP 9.1.3.
    I have read some other threads similar to mine but none of them answer the question well enough to try anything listed there.  My co-worker can email me the Word file and I can print the file to my Adobe PDF printer just fine.  I have Acrobat Pro 7.0.
    Can anyone give me help on the cause and or solution to this problem????

    Hi,
    - syntaxerror indicates the file contains unintelligible PostScript code.
    Any discussion of postscript errors, seem to consistently point to:

  • Not able to edit existing text in a converted to Word PDF file.

    I cannot edit text in a converted to word  PDf file. I can only add text. Why? I am using Export PDF

    Hi Mark,
    Have you tried triple clicking on your document? Sometimes the conversion can come across as an image.
    Let me know if that works!

    When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

    The original file is 32 MB:
    15 MB is images
    15 MB is Content stream
    2 MB is everything else
    After the PDF/A-1B save as:
    The file is 182 MB

    It is an architecture portfolio with many complex images.  Is there a setting when I change to PDF/A that can limit the growth of the image files?

  • Bold text appears bold and italic

    Hi Folks,
    Can anyone please explain why this happens?
    In FW when I click the bold text button, the text appears bold but italic aswell.
    Thanks in advance

    That's unusual. Which version of Fireworks and what operating system are you using?
    If you click on the Faux Italic button, is the italic styling removed? (It should be. If not, click twice.) You might want to try quitting and restarting the application—or shutting down and restarting your computer—and see if this takes care of the problem.
    FYI: It's generally a better choice to add bolding via the Font Style dropdown menu, if that style is available within the currently selected font family.

  • How do you stop random screenshots from appearing when you open an app

    These screenshots really bug me, especially when it comes to safari.  I use safari daily and sometimes I stumble upon rather frightning images.  Because.the screenshot that appears when you open an app is always a random snapshot of when you used the app in the past (I sometimes see screenshots that are over a year old), my biggest fear is that a scary picture I looked at in the past may appear when I open safari in the future.  Jumpscare.
    aside from that, this could also be a security violation, as a picture of your login information foryour bank may aappear at any time.  This is especially dangerous if your iPhone is in the hands of another person.

    When you open an app or when you close an app using the App Switcher (double-tap the Home button)?
    If you are talking about the App Switcher, there's no way to disable the displayed screenshot. If you don't want to see the "scary image", browse to another website. I have Google set as one of my favorites...when I shut down Safari, I just hit the Google favorite so the next time I open Safari, it opens to Google. I've never heard of nor experienced random screenshots popping up when opening Safari.

  • Random wrong characters appear when typing in Firefox--why?

    While typing in Firefox, random wrong characters appear (e.g. I type "i" and "n" appears). If I go back and retype it, the same wrong character may appear two or three times, then the correct character appears. This happens while using gmail, but also, for example, when entering search terms into Yahoo. It does not happen while using other browsers such as Chrome, and it does not happen using other applications.

    the wrong type characters kept appearing--I
    would type the letter i and a 5 would appear instead.
    This would indicate you have activated the feature which turns the right side of the keyboard into a numerical keypad. It might be Fn-F6 that controls this -- sorry I don't have a notebook and am not sure exactly how this works.

  • Body of message either blank  but text appears when Reply button hit

    I have had this problem over the past 3 months or on a number of email messages that I have received, in each case from Windows users. When I open the message(s), either there is no text or only a part of the text appears. If I hit "Reply" to notify the sender of the lack of any text, the full text appears in the new Reply button.
    Anything that I can do on my end to eliminate these occurrences?
    Anybody else experiencing a similar situation?

    If there are blank areas in the text of the original, do they correspond to where in the reply the missing text shows up, even if the text doesn't actually appear when selected? Is this highlighted area at some particular location in the messages, like at the end, or at one or more points in the middle of the text?
    How are the Mail preferences for responding to messages (in the Composing tab) & displaying remote images (in the Viewing tab) set?
    Does this happen only with a particular type of message, like HTML formatted ones, or just ones with attachments, or anything like that you can correlate with the problem?
    If, instead of hitting the reply button, you change the message view (like by choosing the plain text or next alternative in View -> Message or text encoding in Message -> Text Encoding) does the missing text appear?
    Any Mail plugin or other modifications on your system?
