Save A3 Word Doc to PDF

Hi, I want to save an A3 Word Doc to PDF. If I click save it currently cuts off the edges of my work. How can I save this to PDF without this issue?
I have my own fonts which are not on other computers and my laptop is not able to print on the printer I have as I only have an A4 printer, but will print off at work.
Thank you

You would need to find a forum for CutePDF, I think. Doesn't sound
like a Reader problem.

Viewing word docs and PDFs

I want to put word docs or PDFs on my touch. I read that I can save the word docs as PDF and put it in photos or save them as txt and put them in notes, but my computer recognizes my touch as a camera and won't let me drop things in the root folder. I already did the thing where I tell my computer not to ask me what to do with the camera when I connect it, but it still thinks it's a camera. Is there anything I can do to make this work?

Your touch is not a disk drive per se like the old iPod classics or nanos and therefore you won't be dropping anything into it. You can certainly view Word documents and pdfs that are e-mailed to you, however. You can use WiFi to copy files to your touch if you purchase and install the correct apps. Check in the App Store for Documents to Go and similar programs.
Disabling the camera notification is detailed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
This covers Win 7 and Vista but there is a link to an XP version.

Acrobat 9.5 - use Touchup text Tool to edit PDF. Updates do not display. But, if I "save as" Word doc, the edits appear in Word. This feature worked in earlier versions of 9.x patches.

I have a suspicion you're working with a scanned document that has had OCR run to recognize the text. The recognized text may be stored on an invisible layer above the image of the text, and that is what you're toucing up. It's invisible, so you don't see it, but retains the changes, so exporting produces the new edits.
When you run OCR to recognize scanned text,, try using the ClearScan option, instead of Searchable Text. See this help page on Acrobat (this is for version X, but still applies):

Save word doc as pdf options

Hi!
I'm saving a large word document (over 100 pages) as a PDF, using Word 2007 and Acrobat 9 Pro. Then, I am using Acrobat to do the final-stage accessibility edits.
There are a number of ways to save the file as a PDF, and I'm curious about what the differences are.
1. I can save the word doc using the "Acrobat" ribbon- the button "Create PDF" and also play around with "Preferences" when doing so.
2. I can go to the 'pizza box' and "Save As" and then hit "Adobe PDF."
     (I'm pretty sure this is the same thing as 1)
     When I do 1 or 2, the conversion takes a LONG time and usually freezes my computer. So I've been doing the following:
3. "Save as" and then "PDF or XPS"- the button with the little document wearing a belt around its waist? Funny button.
     Doing this converts my file to a PDF a lot quicker than 1 or 2. From what I can tell, it does a fine job- carries over alt text, tags, etc.
     3a. Also- there's an option when I save this way to make the PDF "ISO 19005-1 compliant (PDF/A)" Does this mean anything?
Questions:
- what is the difference between these saving options? And why is 3 so much faster?!
- which option is best creating accessible PDFs from Word documents (or are they all the same)?
Thanks!

Hi,
For #1 –
This uses Adobe PDFMaker.
If "Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF" is selected you'll create a Tagged output PDF from the Word file. How well-formed it is depends on how diligently built-in headings and styles were used.
For #2 –
'pizza box' > "Save As" > "Adobe PDF" passes the Word file through Adobe Printer to Distiller to PDF.
No Tagged output PDF that way as the file is not being processed by Adobe PDFMaker which provides the tag management.
For #3 –
'pizza box' > "Save As" (mouse hover, no click) > PDF or XPS (click)
In the 'Publish as PDF or XPS' dialog, click on the "Options..." button.
In the Options dialog, select "Document structure tags for accessibilty"
(don't forget to provide the Word file with meta data in its Document Properties and to select "Document Properties" in the Options dialog).
Give your output PDF Bookmarks by selecting the "Create bookmarks using" choice.
Click OK.
Back in the 'Publish as PDF or XPS' dialog, confirm that "Standard (publishing online and printing)" is selected (the default).
If you want to view the PDF upon creation, select "Open file after publishing".
Click the Publish button.
Output PDF will be tagged.
Process has improved since its initial release.
On the whole, I still prefer to use PDFMaker; but, the Office 2007 routine is a viable alternative.
An end-user "win" due to Adobe's work with ISO to create the ISO Standard for PDF.
#1 & #3 process time is a function of what you authored – short-simple, long-complex, adherence to a well-formed template and built-in headings/styles, willy-nilly, etc.
You would have to run a statistically valid sample of the same Word files through each to see which has a run-time you like AND provides a structure tree that requires minimal post-processing.
Although less post-processing may not be a 'good thing' if the few activities you have to do are gnarly.
For #3a –
PDF "ISO 19005-1 compliant (PDF/A)"
The ISO Standard for long term archival grade electronic files (PDF, of course <g>).
Asking the question indicates that you are most likely not in need of providing the content in Word to PDF/A.
Questions
– 'speed' of output that needs more post-processing with Acrobat Pro may not be a good thing.
– which is 'better' for tagged output PDF...
That depends.
I prefer Adobe PDFMaker's output of <Table>, <Note>, its dealings with headings, its ability to appropriately nest elements, etc.
I'd do two or three of the same Word files each way.
Then post-process to assure the PDF structure tree is compliant with the requirements of ISO 32000-1.
If your PDF is ISO 32000-1"good" it is solid for accessibility/Section 508.
For each, walk the tree with 'Highlight' selected.
If checking with AT, use the most recent release. Old stuff (any of it from any software house) is not going to be able to properly "QC" something processed to current standards.
After this, throw the chicken bones to decide.
fwiw, I've found FrameMaker / Acrobat Pro to be a better tool set for tagged output of PDF and requisite post-processing.
Be well...

If I save a word doc as a PDF, some graphics and text are missing - why?

I am working on a PC and when I save certain word files as PDFs I am having these issues:
- Docs saving with no graphics from original word document
- Text or text boxes in header area / near header not saving in PDF version
I've never experienced this before on any computer - anyone have thoughts? The documents have non-Western fonts which I can't open on my Mac, so I need to use the PC I am working on to save as PDFs. The fonts themselves seem to be saving fine, it's other components of the docs that are disappearing when saved as PDFs.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

I am saving a word document as a PDF - I guess Reader is just the program that opens the PDF... So this is a Microsoft question? I've never had a problem saving a word file as a PDF before...
As far as the font question, I'm not sure how to answer you... One example is that Unicode supports Devanagari Sangam MN on my MAC, but does not support certain other Nepali fonts (which I am able to download unto a PC, but which my MAC doesn't seem to support). The same is true of a Karen font called KNU which doesn't seem to work on a MAC. It seems that PCs support more Unicode fonts than MACs? I don't really understand how all of this works, but I know some of the fonts I have tried to download on my MAC aren't supported?
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Can't download word docs or PDF's from Google Docs

I cannot download word docs or pdf's from Google docs. I can download MP3's.
I get an error message saying IE can't find the website.
The google docs forum response to this problem was to uninstall the current version of Flash and install Flash 10.1 I'd like to try this suggestion but don't know how to implement the procudure or where to find Flash 10.1 and choose which version of it to install
What is the best way to do that?
I currently have Flash Player 10.3.181.14 installed
I use IE Ver 8.0.6001.1870
And Windows XP pro version 5.1.2600 SP 3 Build 2600
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer

I cannot quite understand how Google Docs is related to Flash Player. But anyway, to revert to an earlier Flash Player version
downoad the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html and save it to disk;
download the archived FP 10.1 installers from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and save it to disk;
close all browser instances, then run the downloaded uninstaller;
extract the latest 10.1 installer (ActiveX for IE, plugin for other browsers) and run it.
Don't hesitate to ask again if my instructions are not clear.

Problem saving Word doc as PDF - Vista?

I have a pc with Vista and Word 2007. I have adobe Reader 9 or 9.1. Some free download or add on thing allows me to save word docs as PDFs. This worked fine to start with but then I found I couldn't move the PDFs I have created from one file to another or delete them. Next I found I couldn't move other PDFs I have downloaded from websites. Then I found I couldn't open the PDFs I had created but I could still open website PDFs I had downloaded. I can still open, move and delte PDFs created on a mac and sent to me by email or memory stick. What is going on? Please help!

So you're saving them from Word using "Save as", correct?
If so, what happens if you use File>Save as>Adobe PDF?

Converting word doc to pdf, emailing and editing file

I need to know how to
1. convert my word doc to pdf
2. I want to be able to email the new pdf file to someone and I want them to be able to print it out but not be able to edit it.
Thank you

Thank you for your post!
I'm afraid that at present, Acrobat.com doesn't support Office 2007 files (such as.docx). You'll need to save as Office 1997-2003 format, re-upload, then try again.
Additionally, it might not work perfectly depending on the font, page breaks, line breaks in your original. Image placement, line breaks, and page breaks sometimes change if you save to other formats. Sometimes a font that was used in the original document is not available on our conversion servers. While we do have a lot of fonts installed on those servers, we certainly don’t have every font in the world.
We may ask you to share the file with us to help us identify the problem.
Please let us know how it goes once you save as .doc format!
Best,
Michelle

Attachments (word docs and PDFs) to emails can not be opened by the receivers. Are received as .dat files or application/octet-stream

Attachments I add to emails (word doc or PDFs) can not be opened by the email receivers. Word documents attachments are received with ATT00427.dat (application/octet-stream) or .doc with (application/octet-stream). PDF attached files arrive with .pdf (application/octet-stream). My copy of my sent email has the same attachment extensions.

Convert Word doc to PDF

I need assistance on this issue:
"Enter Description of Issue:
We are trying to implement a solution to automatically convert Word documents generated by Siebel to PDF's in order to mail them to customers.
I see from other support requests you advice to find 3rd part software to do this. Can you tell me if you know of any 3rd party software that another Siebel customer has been able to use to do this?
We wish to call this software fom script or workflow so that the converted document can then be attached back into siebel and mailed to a customer.
I understand the principle of how we can get documents from the file system and then using com or a command line call an application that will do the conversion, but as yet we have not found a good 3rd party software to do the conversion."
So far, I suggest one Enhancement Request(12-161Y57N) to customer but seems is not enough.
The last update from customer side, was:
"Is it possible to just give me a plain answer to my main question.
Do you know of any other customers who have similar functionality and do you know what application they sed to do the conversion? "
Do you have any idea on regards on PDF converter?

Hi,
Can we convert the word doc to PDF using PI intarface.
I think it is not possible convert the word doc to PDF. Since they are Proprietary format of Microsoft and Adobe respectively
my source system sends a doc file & I have to convert it into a PDF doc and then further I have to sent it to target,
You might have to convert the word document to PDF using available software and then send to target system
You might have to develop some module program to convert.
There is one similar blog which explains conversion from XML to PDF. It might help you

Conversion of word doc to pdf with ms word how to change to pdf and then ppt?

I have used my ms word to convert word doc to pdf, i purchased conversion ability from link in adobe reader and what do i do next.
New to this.

Hi adog,
No worries! We'll get this sorted out for you. I'm not sure that I follow, though. You converted a Word file to PDF, and now you want to convert that file back to Word, and then to PowerPoint? That seems like a lot of steps, when you could import your Word document into a PowerPoint file.
If I'm missing something, and misunderstanding your process, please let me know. It's best to avoid unnecessary conversions from one format to another to another, if possible.
Best,
Sara

Converting Word DOC to PDF changes to PP

I'm converting a Word DOC to PDF, and my header has several Registered marks. In Word it looks fine, but the PDF has added the letter 'P' before and after, changing '®' to 'P®P'
I've tried the same source doc on two different machines, and tried using earlier revs of the source doc.
I'm running Word 2003 SP3 and Acrobat 7.0.0.
Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

I agree with John that the version level may be the issue. Typically the first release of each version is buggy. Often the problem seems to be with the fonts - maybe the source of your problem. It might be that the "P" characters were part of the original as flags to change a font style and did not get removed.
You might also try printing to the Adobe PDF printer to see if that gives the same result (I suspect it will). If it does, an update would be appropriate and should at least be tried on one machine.
