Rendering problems when Word document is converted to PDF

Why are sections of my Word files missing when I convert to PDF with Acrobat 11?
These gaps are apparent with postings on the web using Firefox but not with other browsers

Hi jas64,
What version of OS you are using? Have you updated Acrobat to 11.0.6 version and checked.
After converting to pdf are you trying to view the pdf on a browser? Or have you uploaded the pdf on to a website and then viewing it?
Is Firefox using Acrobat / Reader to view the pdf files or is it using it's inbuilt pdf viewer program?
Regards,
Rave

  • Why isn't the color identical when PM document is converted to PDF?

    Hello all,
    I am using PageMaker 7.  I have made a graphic file (TIFF) which has a background RGB color of full red (255, 0, 0).  I have placed it into a PageMaker document.  To increase the background area around the graphic with an identical red background that will cover the entire page, I added a large box shape and filled it with PageMaker's RGB color red (also 255, 0, 0).
    So far so good - in PageMaker both colors look identical on my laptop screen, and look identical to the original color in the graphic file.  you can't tell where the graphic file and the large background box behind it are meeting.  However, on converting the PM document to a PDF file, the PageMaker red color looks distinctly darker on the screen than the red in the graphic file, when viewed in the PDF file.  I have tried lightening the PageMaker red in various ways by altering the RGB settings, but still cannot get an identical match of reds in the PDF file.  I don't wish to darken the red color in the graphic file.
    The only solution I can think of is to go back to the graphic file and increase its area so that its red color will fill the entire page when placed into PageMaker.
    Is there another way?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.  No, I haven't converted any color images from RGB to CYMK.  The original graphic file was made as RGB.  The colored box in PM7 is set to the Color Options of:
    Type: Spot
    Model: RGB
    (R 255, G 0, B 0)
    As said, in PM7 the two red objects look identical in colour tinting etc on the screen, and you can't tell the difference.  But when the doc is converted to PDF the difference is obvious.
    After posting to this forum last night (Australian time), I wondered if it had something to do with dot resolution.  The graphic file is 300 dpi, whereas the red PM box is filled with color that may be at a much lower DPI, causing a dullness in the color.  I assume the PM 7 default for this can't be altered. Maybe there is a setting in Distiller that could handle this, so that the colors are equalised.
    The solution I'm currently using is to remove the box (or oblong) containing PM's RGB Red, then make another graphic file which is RGB Red (either at 300 dpi or 200 dpi, either TIFF or JPG, it doesn't matter), of the same page size as the PM doc, then place it onto the page and send it to the back so that everything else sits on top of it.  When converted to PDF you now can't tell the difference between the RGB Red in both graphics.
    I'm happy with the result, but it's a workaround.
    Thanks,

  • Detect whether a Word Document is converted for PDF of typed?

    Can any one please tell me which software I can use to detect whether a Word document is converted for a PDF file or typed from keyboard.

    Hello David, thank you for the reply, it is a nice suggestion you gave. I should ask the question from Microsoft, they must have the answer. I have one more question. I would be very nice if you could help me with that too. Here is the link:

  • Modifying a word document once converted FROM PDF

    I am able to successfully convert a document to word from PDF after using ExportPDF.  I can open it and everything looks fine but I am unamble to modify.  Meaning, I need to complete the document electronically and I am unable to do so.  I am not that technical so I just need basic instruction.
    Thanks

  • How Do I Avoid Losing Formatting When Pages documents Are Converted to PDF Files and Emailed?

    I put together a presentation piece with Pages, converted its 19 pages to pdf files, emailed the folder of pdf files to Staples for duplication, collation, and binding, and was disappointed to see some of my graphic frame formatting lost. 
    Can anyone please tell me how to avoid the loss in the future?  'Sure would appreciate it. 
    I was "raised" on Microsoft Publisher, then worked with Adobe Elements before switching to Mac.  For the most-part, I find Mac OSX 10.7.5 a joy to use, but it takes me quite a while to figure out how to bridge differences between PC and Mac applications.   Even though Mac applications tend to be straight forward, I loften find myself shaking my head and wondering how I could have been stumped so long by a little thing such as instant alpha.  I don't want to chalk up this difficulty in adapting  to old age, but could! (--Which translates:  Please be easy on the old lady!)  Thanking you in advance for such assistance as you might provide ...

    Upgrade to Mountain Lion OSX 10.8, much better than Lion.
    I take it you are talking about Pages '09?
    Your problem is probably with anything that has transparency eg fancy frames, 3D charts, shadows, reflections because Pages exports all these to too low 72dpi resolution in .pdfs.
    Prepping files for commercial print is always a concern and you need at least some Pro skills, but Apple has made life even harder with key missing settings and inferior presets.
    The subject of preparing for print is rather broad and detailed.

  • When I try to convert a pdf to Word, it says the document is password protected.  What should I do?

    When I try to convert a pdf to Word, it says the document is password protected and the Word option is gray.

    Probably, give up. But
    * if you HAVE the password you can remove it with Acrobat Pro
    * you can ask the document's creator for an unprotected file
    Sometimes passwords are added automatically and not known, for example some banks do this; there is no solution.
