Save word comments metadata when converting to pdf?

How do I get Acrobat to save as metadata, the info that I type into a Word.doc's Properties\Comments field?
Word's keyword field is so small that it can only contain about 150 characters.  It's useless.
But Word's Comments field can contain over 1,000 characters.
PDFs don't have a Comments field, but they have a large Description field.
How do I configure PDFMaker or PDF Print, to save my Word doc's Comments into the PDF's Description field during PDF conversion?

I had exactly the same problem. The following "hotfix" sorted it quite well for me:

The AdobePDF printer dialog is still showing errors with printing each document, but the PDFs are created and saved regardless.

  • How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel?

    How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel? All info is no longer on the lines or in the columns they started out being in? Any help would be appreciated.

    Sara,
    Perhaps I am expecting too much from Adobe ExportPDF. The reason I subscribed to this service, for which I pay a yearly fee, was that I need a way to  convert scanned and digital documents to Word &/or Excel. I read the link you included but to be candid the more I tried to understand what was written the more confused I got. The process should not be this difficult. Currently I am using a NEAT scanner to create PDF documents of whatever I scan. After I changed the OCR setting on Adobe ExportPDF the output was much better but not to the point it was usable as it was. Information that appears to be lines and columns are sometimes not recognizing two columns and just putting them together in one. Obviously not usable. The other thing it does is bunch numbers that appear in a column that are just a bunch of numbers that I have no way of fixing. 
    Please let me speak to someone who can help me. Right now I not getting anything of value in my paid subscription.

  • When converting a PDF document to word, the word count feature is not giving me the number of words

    I have been using Acrobat for converting PDF documents to Word.  It had been working just fine, but lately, when I convert a PDF document to Word, it is not giving me the word count, which is why I subscribed in the first place. Someone has any idea of why?

    Hi Robin,
    I would recommend you to use Acrobat software to convert this pdf file, Acrobat software enable you to customize the conversion settings.
    You can download a free 30-day trial from this Link : https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
    After downloading and installing acrobat, Open pdf file in Acrobat, go to File menu -> Click 'save as other' -> Microsoft Word -> Word Document.
    A pop-up window will appear that would prompt you to choose the file to be converted, after you select the file, click on the settings button on the bottom left of the pop-up window and choose 'Retain Page layout' under layout settings, click ok and then save.
    Hope that helps with your query.
    Regards,
    Rahul

  • 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:

  • Problems when converting from pdf to word

    I am a translator and I get most of my work in pdf files. So I convert the pdfs into words to be able to change the text and edit. However, when dcuments are converted from pdf to word I have found they become very unstable and difficult to work with to the point I usually end up not using the coverted file. Is there any place I can go for training about what to do with those documents? Can anyone relate to this problem?
    thanks

  • Layered text and graphic in Word won't display when converted to PDF

    I have several simple shapes with text layered in front in my Word document. After they are converted to PDF using Acrobat XI, only the shape will display. I can tell the text is still there, because I can use my cursor tool to select it, but it won't display visually. It looks like it isn't there but it really is. One bit of text is even an internal link, and the link still works but I can't see the text I'm clicking on.
    If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.
    Thank you,

    Hi Lori - this was perfect! It was an issue with the layers being misordered. I used the Edit Text & Images tool listed under Tools > Content Editing, found the layers, then by right-clicking I was able to bring the text to the front and it all looks great now.
    I would like to know why this happened, or if not why, how I could make sure it doesn't happen again. If there's a check box or other setting I could use to remove this problem that would be fantastic.
    Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction!

  • Mangal Fonts and Tunga Fonts in (MS Home and Student 2010) Word 2010 not getting converted into PDF

    Why do I get a totally blank PDF file whenever I try to convert any (Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010, Version: 14.0.6029.1000) Word document file containing either Mangal Fonts (Hindi) and Tunga Fonts (Kannada) into a PDF file (by using Adobe Acrobat X Standard - English, Version: 10.1.4, Program File Size: 1790 MB, Complete/Full Version) after formatting and reinstalling all the necessary software / softwares (Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3 and Windows XP Service Pack 3, Version: 20080414-031525, Program File Size: 9.08 MB)?
    I'm using
    01) Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3
    02) Computer: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00 GHz 3.00 GHz, 504 MB of RAM
    03) Windows XP Service Pack 3, Version: 20080414-031525, Program File Size: 9.08 MB
    04) Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010, Version: 14.0.6029.1000, Product ID: 82503-388-0792296-26607, Program File Size: 490 MB
    05) Adobe Acrobat X Standard - English, Version: 10.1.4, Program File Size: 1790.00 MB, Complete/Full/All Version/Features has/have been installed
    06) Windows Internet Explorer 8, Version: 20090308.140743, Program File Size: 4.20 MB
    Any Word 2010 document file that has been converted into any PDF File unfortunately does not show either the Mangal (Hindi) Fonts or the Tunga (Kannada) Fonts.
    The PDF file will unfortunately become/remain totally/fully/completely blank.
    When I convert an Excel Workbook having the Tunga Fonts (Kannada) to/into a PDF File, some of the Tunga fonts in the PDF file are legible and some are unfortunately illegible (get superimposed / overwritten on each other).
    Perhaps I may get the same result if I try to convert an Excel Workbook having the Mangal Fonts (Hindi) to/into a PDF File with some Mangal fonts being/becoming legible and the rest being/becoming illegible (getting superimposed / overwritten on each other).

    My chronological sequence of steps to create a Word 2010 Document or an Excel 2010 Workbook:
    I first create a Word Document File or an Excel Workbook File and save it by giving an appropriate file name.
    Then I right click on the closed Word Document File or the Excel Workbook File in the file folder and convert it into a PDF by retaining the same/original file name.
    The font list of Microsoft Word 2010 claims/says/states that both Mangal and Tunga are True Type fonts and also that these fonts will/would be used on both printer and screen.
    In case if there is any text content in English in the beginning it will get converted into PDF only till/until either a Mangal(Hindi)/Tunga(Kannada) Font starts.
    The remaining English text content does not get converted into/to PDF the moment a Mangal(Hindi)/Tunga(Kannada) Font starts. If the entire matter is purely (100 per cent) in English text it will fully / completely / totally get converted into a PDF file without any problem.

  • Preserving Black color values when converting color PDF to grayscale

    I opened a full colored PDF document (exported from InDesign using Profile: Euroscale Coated v2) in Photoshop and tried to convert it to grayscale (image > mode > grayscale) and noticed that the black color values changed. text for example that was 100% black in the PDF document became a screen of 91% black.
    is there a way to preserve color values when converting full color PDF documents to grayscale?
    or in other words WHICH is the correct way to convert full color PDF documents or full color InDesign files to grayscale?
    I am using Adobe CS 3, Acrobat 8 Professional, on Mac OS 10.5.5

    Before you open the PDF in Photoshop, set PS's Color Settings to Photoshop 5 Default Spaces. When you open the PDF set the Mode to Grayscale in the Import dialog. Just remember to reset your color settings when you're done.
    Edit: Also, if you want to match black percentages as well as 100% black, set the Photoshop Color Settings to Photoshop 5 Default Spaces with the Gray working space to Dot Gain 20%.

  • How do I convert a PDF written in gothic words? And how convert a PDF "image/foto" in Word ?

    friends, how to convert file written in Gothic letters to normal letters in Word pdf?
    and also, how to convert an image of text to Word?

    Hi bulos solon,
    I see that you have an ExportPDF subscription. Have you tried converting your PDF files, and found that the results aren't what you expect?
    When you convert a PDF file to Word, the ExportPDF service does its best to match the font used in the PDF with one available in its font library. But, you don't get to choose a font for conversion. So, you could simply reformat the text in Word once the file has been converted.
    As for converting a image of text (say, from a scanned document) from PDF to Word, that process actually happens with the ExportPDF service. It performs OCR (optical character recognition) by default. (You can disable OCR if you convert via Word, but not if you convert via the website).
    I hope this has helped answer your questions. If not, please let us know!
    Best,
    Sara

  • Acrobat XI Pro crashes Office 2007 Powerpoint when converting to pdf

    I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 x64 and Office 2007.  I also have Acrobat XI Pro.  When I convert a .ppt powerpoint file to .pdf, powerpoint stops working. 
    When I click Convert to pdf, Acrobat prepares the slides and then begins publishing and about 1/4 of the way through I get a message that powerpoint has stopped working.
    I have run the Office Diagnostics and it found nothing.
    I have reinstalled Acrobat and it didn't help
    Is there a compatibility issue?  Would an older version of Acrobat Pro work such as Acrobat 9 or 10?
    Is there an Acrobat Preference that I could change that would solve the problem?
    Thanks
    Tracy

    Thank you, it actually turned out to be the specific document, other
    powerpoints converted without error.
