Transferring and viewing Word docs and .pdf

I'm going on a trip and want to store lots of info in .docx and .pdf on an ipad2.
1. Can I view Word docx and .pdf files on the ipad 2 without buying apps?
2. If so, how do I transfer them, and where can I find them on it after they are transferred?
Thanks.

Do you have ibooks downloaded? I often use ibooks to save my documents and store them with the help of itunes. Later on, they may be useful. "ibooks" is free of cost.

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.

Right Click convert to pdf - Gone AND Combining word docs and pdfs gone

Hello everyone,
I am on a Lenovo all in one think centre m92z, i have a creative cloud membership and have the most current version of acrobat xi pro. Up until 2 weeks ago i used to be able to right click and convert any file to a pdf, now that seems to have dissapeared... anyone know how to get that back?
Right click on a word file and it doesnt give me any options for acrobat at all, except an open with
Further more i cant even combine pdf's and word docs in the "combine files" dialogue box where you can drag and drop etc.

I am having the same issue, I have tried repairing the installation and it did not work, I have uninstalled and then reinstalled and still no right click options. I have 3 computers with this issue and each of them when you right click will not show any of the acrobat options, but they do have a blank line (no text) that when clicked will open the combine window. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

How to open and read pdf and micrsoft word (.doc) files or documents

My problem is how to use my BB 9800 software version 6.0.0.546 to read/view pdf files and microsoft office documents. I have also bought documents to go from online and have installed it on my phone, but whenever i try to open it I receive a message that it is incompactible. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Sammy.
Why not install a 3rd party PDF reader and Word Doc reader to help open and read pdf and micrsoft word (.doc) files or documents? You can google it and select one whose way of processing is simple and fast to help you with the related converting work. It will be better if it is totally manual and can be customized by users according to our own favors. Remember to check its free trial package first if possible. I hope you success. Good luck.

After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work.

After I exported a PDF to a Word doc and downloaded it, I can't get the pointer tool to work. When I click on the document text, the only tool is the "move" tool. I can't edit or select text. Please advise.

Version of Adobe: Adobe ExportPDF (not Pro)
Operating system: Windows 8.1
Steps I am taking: When the PDF file is selected and opened, I clicked on Tools menu on right side of the screen; then I clicked on Select PDF file; then under Convert To, I selected Microsoft Word (*.docx); then I hit the box below that; and clicked Convert. I then see the message that says it is Converting to Export PDF Online. Then I see a link below that, that says Download Converted File. This takes me online to Adobe Acrobat .com, where, I see the command, Export PDF, and see a blue box on the same screen that says Select PDF Files to Export. I click on the thumbnail of the file I want to export. This brings up, online, a screen containing the file I wanted to convert to Word. Then, on the same screen, I click on the icon on the right hand of the screen that says Download. then I click on the box on the bottom the screen that contains the Word document I had wanted to convert. This brings up the Word doc. in Compatibility Mode the latest Word version, which I am unfamiliar with and which has a Picture Tools tab that I cannot escape from and I cannot get any selection tool other that the Move pointer, and I cannot find the Select text pointer to select any text on the page. I don't want this Word version and do not know how to return to the old version of Word that I am familiar with.
Can you help me, please?

Conversion of word doc to pdf with ms word how to change to pdf and then ppt?

I have used my ms word to convert word doc to pdf, i purchased conversion ability from link in adobe reader and what do i do next.
New to this.

Hi adog,
No worries! We'll get this sorted out for you. I'm not sure that I follow, though. You converted a Word file to PDF, and now you want to convert that file back to Word, and then to PowerPoint? That seems like a lot of steps, when you could import your Word document into a PowerPoint file.
If I'm missing something, and misunderstanding your process, please let me know. It's best to avoid unnecessary conversions from one format to another to another, if possible.
Best,
Sara

Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work?

Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work? My PDF form did convert using Adobe PDF Export.... but the formatting is a schamozzle if I try to do anything with it. Most importantly, I need the check boxes and radio buttons to work in Word!

Checkboxes and radio buttons are form objects from Acrobat. There is no equivalent for these objects, with the way they were constructed, within Word.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Converting word doc to pdf, emailing and editing file

I need to know how to
1. convert my word doc to pdf
2. I want to be able to email the new pdf file to someone and I want them to be able to print it out but not be able to edit it.
Thank you

Thank you for your post!
I'm afraid that at present, Acrobat.com doesn't support Office 2007 files (such as.docx). You'll need to save as Office 1997-2003 format, re-upload, then try again.
Additionally, it might not work perfectly depending on the font, page breaks, line breaks in your original. Image placement, line breaks, and page breaks sometimes change if you save to other formats. Sometimes a font that was used in the original document is not available on our conversion servers. While we do have a lot of fonts installed on those servers, we certainly don’t have every font in the world.
We may ask you to share the file with us to help us identify the problem.
Please let us know how it goes once you save as .doc format!
Best,
Michelle

I have word docs and power points in Arabic which I should like to read on my Mac. Can anyone offer a view as to how I can do this.?

I have much training material previously prepared on my former Microsoft pc. Some of the word docs and power points are in arabic on a memory stick now. However my Mac cannot read the arabic at all. Has anyone hd this problem and found a solution?

Do you see disconnected Arabic or nonsense? If nonsense, it could be an encoding problem. Use the camera icon here to post screenshot of what you are seeing.
It is important to understand that MS Word for Mac has never supported connected Arabic. You have to use some other app, like TextEdit or LibreOffice, and sometimes select the text and change the font to one of those provided by Apple, like Geeza Pro.

Attachments (word docs and PDFs) to emails can not be opened by the receivers. Are received as .dat files or application/octet-stream

Attachments I add to emails (word doc or PDFs) can not be opened by the email receivers. Word documents attachments are received with ATT00427.dat (application/octet-stream) or .doc with (application/octet-stream). PDF attached files arrive with .pdf (application/octet-stream). My copy of my sent email has the same attachment extensions.

Clicking a link to a Word doc and it tries to open it with Adobe Acrobat

I recently upgraded to Firefox 4 on my Windows XP Pro SP3 machine. I have Microsoft Office 2007 and Adobe Acrobat 9.4.3 and Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) installed. I clicked on a link to a MS Word doc and I got a dialog box asking what I wanted to open it with. The default option is Adobe Acrobat 9.4.3, which, of course fails with an error message saying it is not a supported file type. I looked at the other options and Microsoft Word is not among them.

Save the Word document. Create your email in your normal mail application (Mail?), click on the add attachment icon (the paperclip if you are using Mail). Navigate to where you saved the Word file and select it. It should now appear as an attachment in your email. If you are sending it to a PC user and you are using Mail make sure 'Send Windows-friendly attachments' is selected in the edit menu. And if you don't want the attachment to display inline within the body of the email Control+Click on it and select 'view as icon'.

How can I use Automator to open and save Word docs with links?

Hi-
I'm having trouble building a Workflow to open and save Word docs with links.
My Workflow so far:
1. Get Finder items
2. Copy Finder items (to new folder)
3. Rename selected items
4. Open selected items (Word docs)
Three problems occur.
The first is a Word 2004 problem -- I can't get the warning "This document has links in it; do you want to open it with/without updating the links" to go away (Unilke the Macro warning toggle capability, there is nothing in the Preferences for Word 2004 that addresses the links warning, as far as I can tell; any insight you can shed on this would be terrific.)
The second problem happens with Automator: if I manually accept the update of the first document's links, Automator opens that document but then halts completely, even though I've instructed it to open multiple documents.
The third problem I have is that there's no Finder action in Automator that allows me to save the document that's now open (as far as I can see).
Any suggestions for how to fix? If I can get this to work, and scheduled in iCal, it will be an unbelievable time saver.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi there Jeremy,
to do this you are going to have to add in some Run AppleScript steps...
These will rely on GUI Scripting. So first you need to activate GUI Scripting.
Now we need to add in a Run AppleScript action to the end of your workflow...
This will replace your current number 4 in the workflow (Open Selected...)
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">on run {input, parameters}
set allItems to every item of input
repeat with currItem in allItems
tell application "TextWrangler"
open currItem
end tell
activate application "TextWrangler"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "TextWrangler"
delay 2
--when the Word document is opened I have told it to press okay !
--I don't know what key you want it to press in the dialog box
keystroke return
delay 2
--save the doc
keystroke "s" using command down
delay 5
--close the doc
keystroke "w" using command down
end tell
end tell
end repeat
return input
end run</pre>
The above script should open each Word Document, press a button in the dialog box then do a save and then close the doc...then loop through the rest of them.
You need to replace the name Text Wrangler with Microsoft Word (or whatever it is called!), I don't have it on my Mac.
You will have to let me know what button needs pressing in the first dialog, if it isn't the 'highlighted ' one then we will have to amend the script...
regards
Ric

I am looking for an application that would allow me to open a word doc, and take notes in the .doc using a stylus pen. I'd then like to convert those notes to text, and then be able to copy / paste those notes into an email. Does this app exist?

It seems like we were doing these same types of things with Palm Pilots years ago, one would think this would work with iPads?

I don't believe it will open a Word document, but Writepad allows for handwritten conversion of notes to text and then to email. Might help you some of the way...

I downloaded a word doc and can't open it on new computer which has pages installed

I downloaded a word doc and can't open it on my new computer that has pages installer

Have you tried dragging it onto your Pages icon?
Is it by any chance passworded?
It helps if you give some details:
eg What version of Pages you are using?
Can you just open Pages on its own?
The file extension and origin of the word doc
What message does the computer pop up when it fails to open?
Otherwise it is all just guesswork.
