Reverses page order from Word to PDF

When I create a PDF from an existing Word document it scans the pages in reverse order so that i see the second page first.  How do i fix this?  I have Acrobate 9 Standard and Word 2000.  Any help will be much appreciated.

In Word under Tools > Options > Print tab, make sure that "Reverse Print Order" is not checked.

  • 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?

  • Reverse page order of PDF

    Hi,
    I need to reverse page order of a PDF file. I tried Preview and Automator but couldn't find right option.
    Printer driver has a reverse order option but when I did Save As PDF, it doesn't seem to work.
    I tried a utility called Moonwalk but it does not run on my system with no reason.
    Any solution? I prefer Automator action but any idea will be welcome.
    What I'm doing is scanning documents. My scanner has ADF but does not duplex scanning. Thankfully, Automator make it possible to combine odd and even pages but the even pages should be reversed before scanning. If there is an Automator action for it, it will be great.

    I agree the tone was too sarcastic and perhaps below the belt - so my apologies.
    It is so very frustrating to have to wade through pages of superfluous, and in many cases inane, chatter that getting to the heart of the matter is impossible.
    As a case in point, we can't even PM each other which is why I have to add this post to a public thread - making the problem worse.
    And really, the problem isn't people here, or even in OS X. The problem is Apple.
    Apple have for some time become so cavalier and imperious to a such a degree that it grates when we are left to fend for ourselves in this manner. Of course they have always had a touch of the blue-stocking but it beggars belief that they are set to go the way of IBM, Microsoft and Nokia - these org's that have forgotten to treat the hand that feeds it with the respect it deserves. It may be that nobody is sticking up for Apple but adding red-herrings here is only making matters harder.
    Let's face it, it's just so self-defeating that anything supposedly this good, ought take this level of involvement, just to do the blindly obvious. You'd expect this from things like Linux, Openoffice etc. where the effort relies mainly on volunteers (in their spare time to a large degree). But with the amount of dosh Apple sit on - and continue to take - it seems only too clear where this is going to end and no amount of the 'cool factor' is going to change that.
    Something's gotta give - wish this stuff would work - just so fed up! :-(
    P.S. Hate to say this but I fixed this problem for myself using Win Vista & pdfforge (see http://www.pdfforge.org/)

    Word documents don't have a fixed page layout; Word reflows freely if it wants. This isn't normally a problem unless things like typing page numbers is done; avoid that.

  • Reverse page order in pdf?

    Is there a easy / cheap tool or method to reverse the page order for a multi-page .pdf document?
    I think something like Adobe Writer might do it, but I don't need to do this very often, and was hoping to find a cheaper way, or shareware product...
    I can manually rearrange the pages in something like PDFLab, but this can be time-consuming for larger documents...
    My printer lets me print in reverse page order, but I can't seem to make it print to .pdf in reverse order?
    Any ideas!?
    Thanks!
    Mark

    You can use this Action to reverse it back:

  • How do I reverse page order in Preview?

    Is there a way to reverse the page order when viewing a pdf in Preview. It opens with the last page first, I assume to accommodate printing. But it's a hassle when it comes to viewing onscreen. Preferences doesn't seem to offer the option to reverse this. What am I missing?
    I'm using Yosemite 10.10.1
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Reader is uncapable of creating new PDF files, nor edit existing ones in this way, so the problem is definitely not with it. Probably with the way Word creates the PDF file.

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • Acrobat 9 Pro PDF is not retaining original page settings from Word doc

    The document I am trying to put into PDF format (from Word 2000, using Acrobat 9 Pro (trial version)) drops my original Word page settings (5.5" x 8.5") and defaults to 8.5" x 11" in the PDF.  Using "Crop Pages" does not remedy the situation - the doc just stays at the larger size in Acrobat/PDF. Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

    Change the paper size in the printer properties before creating the PDF. This is the same as putting the proper paper in a physical printer.

  • Page numbers are not generated correctly when print from Word to PDF

    Whenever I print my Word document to PDF, my page numbers do not reflect the page numbers shown in Print Preview.
    For example, I have a Word document with 10 pages and after generating it as PDF, the page number shows Page 1 of 1; Page 2 of 2; Page 3 of 3; ......Page 10 of 10.
    Please advise what may be the cause and how can I rectify this problem?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I do have some sections breaks on the pages, however the pages are all shown in running sequence even on Preview page.
    It is the final generated document that has this problem.
    I emailed my colleagues my WORD document and ask them to generate to PDF and they have no issues printing the WORD to PDF and every pages were in running order.
    Any other advise?

  • From Word to PDF without changing the Number of pages

    When I convert a document of 320 pages from Word 2013 to PDF using Acrobat, the number of pages jump to 331, changing the footnotes, sections...How to fix it? Tx

    To expand on Michael Kazlow's response, the problem isn't caused by Windows, but rather how Microsoft Office applications format their text. The issue isn't only with Word, but also with every other Office application as well. Furthermore, it isn't a matter of whether you create the PDF using the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance, but rather, when you compose the document while the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance is the default/current printer within Word!!!
    These applications format text using font metrics normalized to the resolution of the current output device. Thus, if you are displaying a document in Word and the current printer selected (usually the default printer you have selected in Windows when you start up Word) has a device resolution of 600dpi, the document is formatted with each character's space measured in units of 1/600 of an inch. If you change the current printer or print to a printer that has a different resolution set, Word reformats the document using font metrics based on the new resolution. In the case of the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance, by default, the resolution is 1/1200 of an inch. Typically, more text will fit on a page with long text lines when higher resolution is used and less text will fit on a page with long lines when a lower resolution is used. If your default printer is a high resolution inkjet printer, you may see resolutions as high as 2400 dpi, for example.
    Microsoft Office applications are also known to reformat pages based upon other metrics such as printable area.
    These issues don't just affect PDF creation, but also printing to different devices yielding different line endings and pagination.
    To further complicate matters, when you either Save as PDF using Office's own PDF creation facility or even Save as Adobe PDF using Acrobat's PDFMaker facility (part of Acrobat), Office uses yet a different mechanism to reformat the page, also yielding inconsistencies in line ending and pagination from what you see on the screen and/or in print directly from Word to a particular device. (We don't know exactly what mechanism Microsoft is using in these cases to cause the discrepancies.)
    Users of Office and Adobe have complained to Microsoft about this general behavior for over 20 years and apparently it is not of any priority to Microsoft to resolve this.

  • How to Reverse Page Order in Acrobat Pro 9

    Hello Community,
    I thought this would be an easy thing to do in Acrobat but so far I am finding it is not.
    I am creating a PDF from multiple files, they are jpegs, and I am dragging and dropping them into the "combine files" window in the order I want them to be displayed. However Acrobat reverses this order as you put them in and then gives you no chance to switch the order. It gives you the option to move the order one by one (which is nearly impossible when the jpeg titles are img1824, img1623, etc.) so they other option is to add the files I want backwards, which my brain can not do, I like to work forwards, not backwards nor should I have to.
    So once I create this backwards PDF, isn't there a way to just reverse the order of the pages? any help is appreciated.
    e~

    Wow GQDiaz,
    What a wonderful gift you have given us! You have saved me hours of shuffling pages one by one between large cumbersome document scans.
    Your script works like a dream. Thank you for this gift.
