Saving a Mac Word file by printing to PDF not possible anymore

I have a old version of Office v.X for Mac that will no longer allow me to save files by printing them as save to PDF. I think the problem occured when I switched to Mac OS X 10.6.8. Does anyone know what the problem maybe and how I can fix it?

Try opening up Font Book from the Applications folder. From there highlight all the fonts and try to validate them. Remove any duplicates as well.

The PDF has fields to fill in but then to save a copy I need to "print" to PDF not save as a pdf because that is not an option with the document. Is there a way to do this? HELP!

Sorry I thought was just a one off, it would be no use for large volumes.
Do you not have this avaiable in the print menu in Preview with these documents?
I have also found a link on the Adobe web site that discusses that this facilty is enabled by the creater of the PDF.

If you do a web search there are various claims on how to save a protected PDF, I have'nt a way to test the proceedures. I would want a copy of any forms that I sent off, not sure why they protect them in this way, there must be a reason.

Saving report generation word file to a previous version of word

hello everybody,
well, the problem is quite simple.
on the computer of my bench I have office 2007, when I save a report generation word file it saves it from the template to a word 2007 file. file which is unreadable from a word 2003.
Is there any option on the report generation toolkit that allow me to save this file to a previous version of word like we do when we do save As on Word 2007 ?
thanks for your answer...

Hello,
I don't really know the exactly answer to your question about an option to save to a previous versions of word. But you can program it because the Save Report to a File.vi accept both ".doc" and ".docx" extensions. If you use the ".docx" extension or just the file name without extension (in the File Dialog express vi, for example), you will open the document only with Microsoft Office 2007. If you use the ".doc" extension, you will open the document with Microsoft Office 2003 and with Microsoft Office 2007 (in compatibility mode).
Let me know it this tip helped you.

RH 7: Lack of Word support preventing printing to PDF?

I have RH 7 and need to print to PDF just for ease of reviewing. I have checked my settings to make sure they are set to print to PDF and not Word. Nevertheless, I get a message that an supported version of Word is not found. I have Office 2010 and I have read that it is not supported (no surprise) but why can't I print to PDF?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Beki.
The print to PDF is not quite what it may at first seem. It actually generates a Word file first and then a PDF from the word file. As you have discovered, Word 2010 is not supported by RH7. The answer is to either downgrade your Word version or upgrade your RH version.

How can I retain the attached .pdf files (displayed as icons) from my word file 2010 to a pdf file?

Hi everybody,
I have looked for an answer in this forum ... without any good result.
I worked on a Word 2010 file with some attached pdf files. These attached files are displayed as icons on the word file. If you double click on them, you can consult them. This works very good.
Problem: I would like to convert this word 2010 file into a pdf file, which keeps the icons (linked to attached files) active. If I "pdf" this with my current system, icons are displayed as pictures: I cannot open the attached files.
My question is very simple: is it possible to retain these active icons (= to open attached documents) in a pdf file? Which adobe package should I use?
Many thanks for your help
cheers

No, it's not possible, but I agree it would be a very nice feature.

Unable to convert word file (15000 kb) into pdf.

I am using Microsoft Word 2003 and have a fairly large file (15000 kb) containing numerious graphics with text. I attempt to convert to pdf with the adobe appplication that attatches to word from installing Acrobat 8. The process goes until the temp word file is created then stops and freezes everything. It is necessary to repair Adobe 8 before continueing. The only way I have been able to convert is to split the Word file in two and convert the halves than combine them after converting. The problem with this approach the index created in Word will not work for the recombined pdf file so need to create two indexes, one for each half. Any ideas?

This is an issue of the conversion creating a PS file between the DOC and the PDF file in the temp folder. You have run into the limit of the TEMP folder. You can empty the TEMP folder and see if that resolves the problem or do the compress as recommended. With WORD 2003, go to the format option for a graphic and in the lower left of the menu will be compress. Select compress and compress ALL graphics. You might do this one a copy if you do not want to reduce the resolution in the DOC file.

PDFs and Word Files open on iMac but not Macbook Pro

I own an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Recently, I've been having an issue with some PDFs and Word files that have been emailed to me from different contacts. All open—and can be seen using Quick Look—on the iMac. However, on the MacBook Pro it's a different story. When I try Quick Look all I see are the icons. When I try to open the PDFs in Preview (default app for me) I get an error message saying the file could not be opened and might be damaged. When I try to open the Word doc in Word, Pages or Bean I see all of the extraneous header information etc and the text is all mixed up in that formatting junk. I have repaired permissions, cleared out my user cache, restarted—pretty much everything I can think of. But no luck. Thought?

Brilliant suggestion! I checked all the display settings on my iMac 27" and confirmed they were the same settings as my MacBook -- until I checked the Window 7 screen resolution. Because of its size, I had expanded the screen across most of the monitor. When I changed the resolution to one suggested or configured by Windows, Approach worked fine. I've now tested it on quite a few of the settings, and as long as I let Windows determine the best resolution (on my iMac 27" it seems to be 2043 x 1276), Approach works like it should. Thank you!

BIG PDF Files when printing to PDF in PowerPoint

Using the internal Print to PDF function in OSX, i get HUGE files (e.g. a 400K PPT document printed in normal quality to PDF gets as big as 21 MB).
Compressing the file with PDFShrink brings it down to 7MB - still far to big to send Handouts to my Students...who can help?

i forgot to add:
OS is debian woody linux, oracle reports/developer/runtime version is 6i.(Report Builder 6.0.8.19.0)

Word files attached in email are not recognised

i have sent some word documents through yahoo email. when downloading the files in another computer (windows), the word files are not recognised and did not have an 'extension name' (if thats what they are called) such as ' .doc '
I have set the computer (windows) to show the extension name, but the downloaded files did not have one.
When opening the email using my iphone, it did not work as my iphone did not recognise the file type and said 'Mail cannot open this attachment'.
Please help!

Thanks for the reply.
Well status as of now is :
<b>GUI</b> : I am able to attach documents in BP properly. However after the documents are attached, when I try to open the attachment, it is not opening .txt files. Surprisingly it opens .Doc, .ppt, .xls & .pdf documents
<b>PCUI</b> : I am able to attach the documents properly.
However when I open the document, it is not opening any type of file. I click on attached document icon and it just does not do anything. I mean no window pop-up or anything like that.
By the way what exactly do I need to do in SICF transaction ? Can you please elaborate.
Thanks

Links from RoboHelp don't convert into PDF file when "printing to PDF"

I need to output my webhelp file to an Adobe PDF. However, my
links are not converting UNLESS I put in part of the code. mailto:
links will work if there is a visible @xxxxx on the screen.
Regardless of the background code, if I don't have the @xxxx
visible on the page, the link will not work. The "hand" will not
turn into a "pointing finger" in the PDF file.
I've looked at the settings, and am beating my head against
the wall! This is a manual that will be published to a PDF on a
weekly basis, so redoing all the links in Adobe is not a solution!
I need my links to other parts of the manual, URLs and email links
to work as the do in the RH side. All suggestions welcomed!
Thanks!!
p.s. I am using RH 5.0.2. The Adobe side is 7.0 Thanks!

Hi Teri
Links are retained in the version 6 release.
Just some food for thought...
Cheers... Rick
