Save as word doc

when using save as I expect to see an option to save it as a Word.doc.
How do I do that?

Choose Export from the File menu and export it to Word format.

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):
Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Recognize Text - General Settings dialog box

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!

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.

PDF "save as" Word doc

I'm using Acrobat 8 Pro.
I need to get text out of a couple of PDFs (the text will ultimately go into an InDesign document, but at this point I'm just trying to get any kind of usable text file out of the PDF).
I've tried several "save as" options, and I either get a text file (.doc, .rtf, or .txt) with a hard return at the end of every line, or a text file with each paragraph in a separate text box.
Is there any way to get a usable text file out of a PDF? Maybe a plug-in? It would be nice to preserve italics, bolds, etc., but at this point I'd settle for a file that wouldn't require manually deleting all the extra hard returns or getting text out of dozens of text boxes.
TIA,
Marlene

I seem to get hard returns in all cases. That is why I had the short answer. I do not remember if saving as a DOC got rid of the hard returns. Of course the simplest way to find out is to try it. I went to another machine and the Save As to a DOC file did not put in the hard returns (cut and paste did). I should note that the PDF was produced from a totally different word processor and was not a WORD native document. That would suggest it is not dependent on the tags that can be included by WORD and PDF Maker.

When I save my word doc as a pdf, I'm getting all kinds of grey lines. Any suggestions?

I'm creating a flyer in word, using photos and text boxes. All kinds of crazy grey lines show up when I save it as a pdf.
Would be grateful for any suggestions as to what I can do to correct this.

Hi Stacy
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. The odd thing is, the version I had prior to this (and unfortunately I don't remember what it was) didn't do this.
Thanks so much for responding to my question.

Adobe Acrobat Pro cannot save as word doc

Adobe Acrobat Pro - Save as failed to process this document. No file was created.

The File
(1) The file has to be a PDF.
(2) The file has to be a PDF that is adequately ISO 32000 compliant (a 'good' PDF).
Number (2) is why, for most PDFs - most times, the export process chokes.
(& no being of file extension "pdf" does not mean the 'good' PDF was created)
The application.
Consider a cold reboot.
Ensure Acrobat is fully updated.
Ensure Acrobat version is compatible with OS
Consider doing an Acrobat "repair".
If one goes the deactivate/uninstall route consider using the "cleaner" tool.

You need Pages to open a Pages document.

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...

Why isn't my word doc saving in the same format when saved to a pdf?

When I save my word doc to a pdf, the text boxes are getting all jumbled. I tried changed the font, but that did not help the text box issue.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like exact PDF settings, version of your Office program and so on. And naturally screenshots tell a lot more than even the most verbose description of a pink butterfly on a rosy peach...

Reader enabled PDF won't save to Word

Hi,
I'm sorry if I'm not putting this question in the right place, but I can't find a better location.
We have a PDF that's reader enabled for editing with the typewriter tool, and we want to save it as a Word document. Whenever File > Save as > Word doc is clicked, we get a message that Acrobat has stopped working. This is only with this particular PDF, as we've tried 'plain' ones that converted beautifully.
How can I save the reader-enabled PDF as a plain PDF?
Thank you!

Thanks for replying!
There is no 'Save a copy' in the File menu; maybe that option is just in
Acrobat, not Reader. I solved it, though; what I did was print to Adobe
PDF. As we know, that doesn't actually print anything, it just saves; and
it was saved as a plain PDF! Well, that was a lesson learned...and enabled
PDF cannot be converted.
Thanks anyways!

Save as Word from a fillable PDF form - information missing from cells

I have created fillable forms in InDesign (6) and then exported these as PDF. I have opened the PDF in Acrobat X Pro as fillable forms and resaved. I reopen the file and complete the forms then resave followed by a "Save As" Word Doc. When I open the Word document all of the information created in InDesign is there but none of the information that was inserted into the fillable form cells appears. How do I save as with ALL of the information in the Word document?

The basic idea is that we are sending staff out to do inspections of locations looking at very specific pieces of information that needs to be captured. It's a series of about 80 +/- questions and observations. Some are simple "check the box" and others are write a paragraph describing something. It needs to follow a specific format in a specific order. This will be repeated at multiple locations. The information is then brought back, reviewed and analyzied followed by a report to the client on the work. Client wants it back to them in a Word document.

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.
