Saving a Word document to pdf - dropping letters when printed

I have a client that is saving a document created in Microsoft Word 2007 as a PDF file. After saving the PDF file they are distributing the PDF to their staff as well as users outside of the office. When the PDF file is printed the printed copy is missing a combination of letters, such as "ie" or "ti" or "li" etc. The user herself has printed the PDF file from both her work PC and her home PC with the same results.
Adobe Reader 9 (v9.3.0.148) in a terminal server environment (Windows Server 2008SP2)
Microsoft Office 2007 all updates installed.
Anyone have any ideas, I have tried most of the fixes that I found from others but noting that keeps permanently.
Thanks, Joe.

Not Reader causing it. It's how the PDF was created. Your samples are all what are called ligatures and the font information for those ligatures are not being embedded in the PDF when it is created. You would need to ask Microsoft how to do that if you are using their product to create the PDF.

  • Preview PDF files drop letters when printed.

    I have a problem with PDF's printing without lower-case letter o's and upper-case X's. This is both to my Brother Laser Printer AND my HP C309.
    It may be Mac software at a low level, because when I print a PDF to Yojimbo, the lower-case o's and upper-case X's are also missing. There may be others, but those are the two letters I noticed.
    The screen displays are OK and PDF's generated to Yojimbo from Safari are OK.
    The same downloaded PDF file that dropped the o's and X's print OK when opened with Acrobat Reader.
    Is this a Preview problem? I'm running Preview Version 5.0.3 (504.1).

    Thanks for the pointers. I did find some duplicates with Font Book and deleted them. I don't have any duplicates between the System and User fonts and have not installed Office X. I do have Office 98 installed under Fusion.
    As I mentioned, the PDF files print fine with Acrobat Reader. This is a very recent error. I have a long list of PDF files saved to Yojimbo and none have any dropped letters until yesterday.
    Thanks for any further suggestions.

    To save as a PDF, you do that from Print
    To save as Wrod format, you export

    You cannot save word files to pdf using reader. When you click a link (in Reader or in the browser using the Reader plugin) you open the url in your browser (what browser)? We need detailed information to help.

  • Merging word document with pdf file how do you renumber pages?

    After merging a word document with pdf file, how do you renumber pages?  The pdf has more pages than the word document.  I first converted the word document to a pdf, using Acrobat Standard 9.

    Hi Petek ,
    After you merge the files or combine files ,click on the Page Thumbnails panel on the left hand side.
    In the Page Thumbnail panel ,right click and you will get a drop down list .Select the option "Number Pages".
    You will see a dialog box with several options .You can renumber the pages from there as per your requirement.

  • Convert word document to PDF file in SAP

    Hello experts,
    I've been searching around to get some code examples to upload a word document and convert it into a PDF file and then store it in unix. I hope one of you can help me, because many explanations and threads exist, but I did not get wiser reading them...
    I don't want to use 3rd party tools to do the conversion, but do it directly in SAP with abap coding and if necessary spool processing.
    System details:
    SAP ECC 6.0 (unicode system)
    SAP_ABA     700     0014     SAPKA70014     Cross-Application Component
    SAP_BASIS     700     0014     SAPKB70014     SAP Basis Component
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    You can get the spool no from transaction SP01 and later use this spool no to convert the word document to PDF
    using the function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and give the import parameter as ur spool id.
    once the doc gets converted to PDF u can use CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG
    to get the path where the file is to be saved and later give the path to function module GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the file.
    or else u can manually execute the following reports:
    RSTXPDFT4  (give the spool no. as input)
    RSPO0068  (give the word doc with its full path as input)
    Hope that helps u
    Regards,

  • Microsoft Word document to PDF file

    When converting a saved Microsoft Word document into a PDF file, the image changes...... Figures that were saved in the original document are then either lost or hidden/partly obscured by other items.
    Any help greatly appreciated

    Nigel,
    This questions belongs in the Acrobat forum. It is not a pdf
    specification issue. The short answer is that when you change printers
    Word reflows the document. Create the Word document with the Acrobat PDF
    printer instance as the default printer driver. That should take care of
    your problem. If it does not please repost your question in the Acrobat
    forum.

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
    I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
    If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Acrobat 11 Standard Office 2010 Pro Convert Word documents to PDF not working

    Adobe community,
    I can create PDF's inside Word 2010 using the Acrobat Add-in but right clicking a Word document or dragging a Word document into Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard does not work. I have updated both Acrobat 11 and Office 2010 with the latest updates available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi markl16215442,
    In order to convert word document to PDF by right-clicking or dragging the file, you must have Adobe PDF printer installed.
    For Windows, please check that Adobe PDF is set as default printer under "Start > Devices and Printers"
    While for MAC, Adobe PDF printer option is no more available and as it was removed with some changes in Apple's policy regarding virtual printers.
    So, check with your OS and then let me know.

  • How do I access Adobe from Word to convert a word document to pdf?

    How to I access an Adobe command in Word to convert a Word document to pdf?

    Certain versions of Word will have an Adobe PDF menu in the ribbon, which allows you to convert the Word file you're viewing to a PDF directly, maintaining all the links, bookmarks, destinations, etc. in it.
    The other option is to use the PDF Printer and print the Word document to a PDF. This will result in a "flat" copy of the file, without any of the meta-elements described above. Basically the same as printing it out, only you use a virtual printer that generates a PDF file.

    How do I convert a word document to pdf

    Hi dionel33514362,
    You can use either Adobe PDF Pack or Acrobat to convert Word documents to PDF.
    Adobe PDF Pack is an online service, which allows you to upload files and convert them to PDF via a web interface.
    See Acrobat Help | Create PDFs with Acrobat for information about creating PDF files in Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, please feel free to give it a try. You can download the free 30-day trial from the Acrobat link I mentioned above.
