Text lost after converting word to pdf

I'm trying to convert my my MS word document to a PDF on a mac. The document had been previously saved, I re-opened it and as I was trying to save it as a pdf, MS word crashed and I was forced to restart the computer.
I've turned the mac back on and now the document is blank! I have already checked for an autorecover file but it is not there. Please help!

Post on the Microsoft Mac forums as its their software you're having trouble with

  • Trouble with formatting after converting word to PDF

    A portion of a page is cut off when I convert the word document to a PDF. What can I do to fix this? I have included some screen shots to demonstrate the issue. In the screen shot from the PDF you can see that the bottom of pg 60 is cut off, it is visible in the word document version. It is only this page which has the problem. The similarly formatted table on the following page, pg 61, is not cut off in the PDF form of the document. (The word doc is the first image and the PDF is the second.)
    Thank you for your time

    This is a WORD issue. When you are editing in WORD, select the printer to be the Adobe PDF printer (or set this to be your default printer) and then edit. WORD and most word processors reflow documents to best match the printer resolution. This will even happen if you switch between various paper printers. You can turn off this feature in WORD under the options, buried under compatibility for using printer metrics. I am not sure what WORD does when you turn off the use of printer metrics.
    As I said, the result is typical of word processors, If you want to end this behaviour then you would need to use a layout program like InDesign. Layout packages are WYSIWYG applications. I have my systems set to the Adobe PDF printer as the default and often print from Acrobat to a physical printer. Since I print PDFs to the printer more than WORD documents, this works well for me.

  • Making text smooth after converting from a PDF

    Hello I'm very new to PhotoShop.  Im running CS5 and I have a PDF that I'm copying and pasting onto a layer in PhotoShop.  When I do this the text is really awful looking and I cant figure out how to smooth it out.
    Here is a sample of what the image looks like.

    Ok that is very helpful. Is there a suggested work-around I could try?
    Thanks

  • Hyperlink problem when converting Word to PDF

    Hi everyone.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard version 7.1.4 on a Windows 2000 environment.
    I am using Word XP/2002 SP3.
    I have a couple of problems when converting Word to PDF.
    When converting a long link which is in 2 lines, PDF just takes one line into account, not considering the whole link
    When I have hyperlinks that links to a web page, the link works fine in Word but in pdf, it gets the few words after the url address making the link not work.  For example.  I have a hyperlink that http://www.google.com/ and after this I have the words: "This is a sample text".  The hyperlink in pdf would then become http://www.google.comThisisasampletext
    Do you have any ideas how I can correct this?
    Thanks.

    To get the cross references, you have to use Convert to PDF (PDF Maker part of the Acrobat product). However, you first need to go to the print menu and set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Close the print menu and then do a reflow and link update of the document (ctrl-A, then F9 I think). This is needed to get the links correct since WORD reflows the document based on the printer (problem with them going to the wrong place).
    Printing to the Adobe PDF printer (the step of print to file is not needed, just print to the printer and the rest is automatic) does not include the links. PDF Maker is a PreProcessor for the Adobe PDF printer that adds PDF Marks to the PS file before it is sent to Distiller (OK, the printer when used normally creates a PS file and then invokes Distiller to complete the process - your steps did with the Adobe PDF printer is the same process done manually).
    Summary:
    1. Fix document after setting the printer to Adobe PDF.
    2. Use PDF Maker (create PDF button)

  • When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

    When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

    The original file is 32 MB:
    15 MB is images
    15 MB is Content stream
    2 MB is everything else
    After the PDF/A-1B save as:
    The file is 182 MB
    Almost 100% is Images
    It is an architecture portfolio with many complex images.  Is there a setting when I change to PDF/A that can limit the growth of the image files?

  • Link in a DVD menu to link to text files such as Word, Adobe PDF's ect

    Hello All
    Is there anyway to put a link in a DVD menu to link to text files such as Word, Adobe PDF's etc that are burned into the DVD?
    Hope someone can help me out.

    Is there anyway to put a link in a DVD menu to link
    to text files such as Word, Adobe PDF's etc that are
    burned into the DVD?
    Actually, you CAN'T with iDVD. You CAN put a variety of content into the DVD-ROM area, but that isn't accessable from any menu in an iDVD created DVD.
    If you use DVD Studio Pro, you have some ability to add the kind of links you ask about.

  • Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file??

    Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file?? I have no idea where it is!! Extremely frustrating and not at all user friendly!! Took my 6.99 British pounds and not a sausage to be had!!

    It sounds like you may have purchased a CreatePDF subscription through safari, using our web interface. If this is the case, the good news is that subscription will also work with the (free) Adobe Reader. Simply install the Reader from the App Store:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
    Once installed, you can then use "Open In" from another app like Mail to open the Word document in Adobe Reader. Reader will show the word doc, but it will also show you a message pointing to the "convert" button (A document with an arrow through it in the toolbar). Pressing this button should prompt you to sign into Acrobat.com. Use the same account you used to purchase your subscription and Reader will upload the word document for conversion, placing it in the Acrobat.com and Outbox section of the Reader. Please let me know if you have trouble!

  • Not converting word to pdf

    I installed adobe acrobat 5.0 on window 2000 server but its not converting word to pdf when I click by toolbal button system hangs.

    AA5 is not licensed for use in the server mode. As long as Acrobat is not available for use off the server, only local use, you should be OK. Try to print from WORD to the Acrobat Distiller printer. If that does not work, then try printing to file. If that works, then open the file in Distiller to see if you get a PDF. If you do, then AcroTray is not running. It may be that AcroTray will not run properly on W 2000 Server. As I recall, some folks tried with the 2003 server and had problems.

  • When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the numb

    When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the number pages start from the second page.How to keep the original format?

    Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.
