Trouble creating a MS Word doc

I am trying to dynamically create a MSWord document:
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attchment; filename=coordSheet.doc">
<cfcontent type="application/msword">
Text here.
It opens word fine, but when I go to save as, it saves as .htm even though the file has a .doc extension and if you go to properties is lists .doc.

Hi Tim,
  I think Word is the better solution for this. (the best thing is not to use it at all) 
  There are some VI for formatting table and some function you have to wire yourself.
For headers and footers I use a template. Years back I noticed that I could not create footers with multiple lines so I used a template as a solution.
  For a lot of functions you have to be very patient if you have to wire it yourself because you must dig into the MS documentation.
  If you have any problems I always be glad to help.

  • Question re Create PDF from Word doc

    Hi
    I am trying to create a pdf from a Word document (Word 2007, Acrobat 8 Professional), and am having lots of trouble with images,fonts and document overhead. With the fonts, i generate the PDF by saying Create Pdf from the plugin in Word. I specify in the Preferences that fonts are not to be embedded. I then open the PDF and access PDF Optimiser -> Audit Space Usage, and it says that fonts take up like 20% of the document, however there are only like 10 lines of text in Arial (9pt), and 6 titles also in Arial (Bold). I dont understand why Font is taking up so much space considering that i have elected not to embed fonts (if i go to the Fonts section in the Optimiser, it shows both embedded and unembedded panes blank).
    With the images, i have 2 jpegs in the footer, that are compressed (JPEG -> Low). The other thing i am struggling with is the headers and footers, if i generate the PDF from the Word doc with Headers/Footers, then images take up over 15% of the document. Not sure if there is a way to add headers and footers within minimum impact of filesize? I have tried checking everything in the 3 categories of Dicard Objects, Discard User data and Clean Up. but the Document Overhead remains at 35%.
    What else can i do to get these filesizes reduced?I have been researching this for days and have not come across anything that has helped.I have tried to PDF print, i have changed the font to like Courier, ensured no thumbnails or bookmarks, ensured JPEGs are not embedded in the doc, tried Save As, Save As under a different filename - basically anthing you can find on the net i have found and tried, but still cant fix this!!!! please, if anyone knows acrobate 8 better than me / or knows what the problem is, please advise????
    Thanks very much.

    The colors and size in a graphic needs to be done in a graphics editor. What type of editor would depend on the use of vector graphics versus bitmap. Sometimes vector graphics are larger than bitmaps if you are using a lot of lines that would display better as just a splotch of color. Such are the variations between vector and bitmap graphics, but important if you are looking for size reduction. For a bitmap, I would do the sizing and color depth with IrfanView, but you should be able to do that with PhotoShop if you have it. Vector graphics can be adjusted in Illustrator. The size of vector graphics is not an issue since they are scalable, but the size of a bitmap is important since your are looking at individual pixels and that depends on size. The point is that if you can adjust the color depth and size for the desired pixel resolution, the bitmap is optimized for the conversion to PDF from WORD.
    As I mentioned, the smallest file size job options should minimize font storage in the PDF. Checking with the PDF Optimizer does not always give you all of the fonts. I am not sure why. It is better to check the font tab in the document properties to see what has been embedded. There is a preflight macro to embed fonts, you might check to see if there is one to delete fonts (I have not checked on that). Sometimes you can play with the reprint of a PDF, but that is not an option that is generally recommended, particularly if you have any tagging or such. Of course, tagging can really bloat a PDF, but is needed for a variety of reasons such as format for saving back to WORD (not a great workflow), accessability, and related issues. In another topic, there is some discussion of the purposes of tagging and bookmarks. However, the tags and bookmarks take space if that is really an issue for you. The latter are avoided if you use the print to the Adobe PDF printer and do not use PDF Maker in the PDF creation process. Again, there is a trade-off here in terms of size and functionality, particularly accessibility compliance.
    Not sure I am helping as I run on, but sort what might be useful for you.

  • Acrobat Hangs Creating PDF from Word Doc - Possible Solution

    For the last several months, I had been working on converting a 20MB Word document into a PDF. The Word doc has external hyperlinks as well as many internal hyperlinks. It also has many sections and uses the TOC generator. I found that when I converted it to a PDF, whether I was using PDF Maker in Word or directly in Acrobat, the process would hang. In Acrobat it would hang either at 5% or 10%. In Word, the hang would occur before it processed the bookmarks.
    I believe I found the solution. When using PDF Maker, you are prompted about SmartTagging the document and how it can be time consuming. I always selected "No". Apparently, even with selecting "No", just having this prompt appear is part of the problem. When I went into the settings for PDF Maker and turned off SmartTagging there, so that when creating the PDF you are not prompted, the PDF creation is successful everytime.
    It took me many months of aggravation before I discovered this fix. I can replicate the issue everytime I let it prompt me about SmartTagging, so there is definitely some quirk going on there.

    Hi,
    I'm facing the same problem, pdf maker hangs while "converting codes", this happens once in a while, i'm doing a .net batch conversion of about 2000 documents. (MS Word 2003 acro prof 7)
    Can you tell me where in the settings i find  samrt tagging
    (i'm am using only a fixed set of headings to create tags)

  • How to create pdf from word doc file

    HI
    I have a word doc file. (not docx). I have adobe 8 pro. I wrote a word script to create the file using the distiller. The fonts in the pdf file it makes look wacky. That script looks liek this:
    * create archive pdf file
    lfilename = "t:\cardeals\pdf\pdf_archive\" + PADL(alltrim(STR(month(date()))),2,"0") + PADL(alltrim(STR(DAY(DATE()))),2,"0") + SUBSTR(ALLTRIM(STR(YEAR(DATE()))),3,2) + "1.pdf"
    oWord = createOBJECT("Word.Application")
    oWord.DisplayAlerts = .f.
    oWord.documents.open('t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc')
    oword.ActivePrinter = "\\CSSSERVERONE\Overflow"
    oword.application.printout(,,,,,,,4,,,,,,,,,,,)
    oWord.PrintOut(.F.,.F.,,"c:\output.ps",,,,,,.F.)
    oPDF = CREATEOBJECT ( "PDFDistiller.PDFDistiller.1" )
    oPDF.FileToPDF("c:\output.ps", "&lfilename.", "High Quality" )
    oWord.application.quit
    release oword
    I also wrote a script to attempt to print it from the Adobe printer. It seems to work, but when I go to open the created pdf file it I get the following message:
    Acrobat could not open mypdf.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
    The code was this:
      Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
        Set oDocument = CreateObject("Word.Document")
        oWordApp.Visible = True
        oWordApp.Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMinimize
        Set oDocument = oWordApp.Documents.Open("t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc")
        strOutputPDFName = "c:\mypdf.pdf"
        holdprtrdefault = oWordApp.ActivePrinter
        oWordApp.ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF"
        oWordApp.Application.PrintOut FileName:="t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc", _

    If I clkick on the PDFMaker icon iside word, the resultant file is BEAUTIFUL. Can I automate this from within word? If not, does PDFMaker have a command line utility that I could put in a batch file?

    I don't have an answer, but you might get a better response in the scripting forum.

  • Can't create pdf. from word doc when edited photos are included

    Or for that matter, from any photo which has been imported from my camera through lightroon, which happens everytime I  download shots to my harddrive. I create .pdf tutorials which include process shots and text; whnever I include shots which have come through lightroom, I get an error message telling me that the flies in question are in use with another application. There must be a workaround for this, right? Why can't an edited photo be included into a word doc and then converted to a pdf?

    You must have a program open with the image file or you would not get this message.
    I just did a test run. It works perfectly with my images. I tried it with a JPG and I tried it with a TIFF.
    Word imported them into the document and exported the document to PDF.
    The TIFFs  were created in Lr by exporting, and they are in the Lr catalog. So Lr is not the culprit for you rproblem.
    What I sometimes forget when I edit / change a Word document is that a PDF already created has to be closed. When I don't like my PDF and just go back to Word, do some changes and export again to the same PDF, i.e. overwriting the existing PDF, then the PDF cannot be created. The PDF that needs changing must be closed before another export can happen.

  • Error message- cannot create PDF from Word doc

    All of a sudden I cannot create a PDF from a Word doc. I click the Adobe icon and get the following error message:
    "PDFMaker could not locate the Adobe PDF printer. Please install the printer on this machine."
    I opened my print & fax in System Utilities and see that Adobe PDF 7.0 printer is listed. I select that in the Print Dialog, go back to the Word doc, but get the same error message. Any idea how I can fix this?
    Thank you--

    What versions of WORD. Is your AAX updated, or still running 10.0.0? What OS? Can you print to the Adobe PDF printer (i.e., is it just with PDF Maker that you are not successful). If it is a problem with PDF Maker, can you see the Adobe menu in WORD? As you may see, saying you cannot create a PDF from WORD does not tell us much and we need a lot more info to help.

  • Need to create link to Word Doc in blob column in search results report

    I got the Oracle Text boolean search of word documents in a blob column of a table working.
    Now I need to be able to create a link in the results report.
    I know that Oracle creates a link for each document in the column when you attach a file, I just need to know what the link should be to allow users to open the document in the search results report.
    Right now the application is set to do a search in the attached word documents, and in the results window it shows the names of the people who match the search, but it won't allow me to create a link to their resume in the results report.
    the name of the table is CONTRACTOR_LIST and the blob column is RESUME.
    How would you go about creating a simple link to the word file in the results window?
    Here is the code for the query
    select score(1) relevance, Name, Resume
    from contractor_list
    where CONTAINS (resume, :P1_SEARCH, 1) > 0
    order by 1 desc
    That works, but I can't get it to link to the resume file.
    Here is the code I'm using for the link
    javascript:popupURL(&quot;#RESUMEL#&quot;)
    This just give me an error page and the the link is
    http://server-namer:8080/apex/[datatype]
    the error is
    Bad Request
    The HTTP client sent a request that this server could not understand.
    Thanks again!

    It is within the table I believe (I'm not a DBA or a developer) since I created a BLOB column and then used the file browse feature to allow users to attach a resume to the table in order to be able to perform a search of the attached documents.
    I'm just having a hard time pointing the link in the search results report to the document in the blob column.
    The information on that page is great if you're trying to create a link to the document on the initial report.
    But I created a query using Oracle Text to run a report that does a boolean search of the attached word documents in the table.
    When it displays the search results, it doesn't create a link to the document and I can't figure out how to do it.
    Here's a link the the instructions I used to create the initial search report with Oracle Text, mind you I only created the index and query, I didn't add in all the link data since they're using documents on websites and I'm using documents in a table.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/apex_text_application_v1.6.pdf
    If you can help me with this I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks again.

    The PDF was not created. I actually did try creating a PDF of just the first 5 pages of the document which included no graphics at all, just straight text, and I got the same exact error with no PDF created. I've also tried removing the headers and footers and choosing another section of the document and still I get the exact same error with no PDF.
    If I create an entirely new document and type a bunch of text and try saving that as a PDF, it saves without a problem. But retyping my 200 paged document is not exactly an option. Merely removing a portion of the document, resaving it, and trying to create a PDF out of it doesn't seem to work either. I feel like it would be a whole lot of work involving a whole lot of time I currently don't have to track down the issue within the document. I would be happy if the software would simply replace the font, at least then I'd have an idea of where the problem lies. I believe there is also a setting to tell the program to warn of problems but create the PDF anyway. I marked that as well and it still failed to create a PDF. So far I can't seem to get any other error other than what I posted above no matter what I try.
    My apologies if I sound frustrated, the truth is I am. I thought this would be a simple process to convert the word document into a PDF. Who knew it would be the hardest part??
    Could you let me know what a binary search is? I'm not familiar with how to do this.
    thank you!

  • Importing images in Word Doc

    My colleague recently had Office 2007 installed, then RH 7.
    She started a new project and imported a Word *.docx file. RH
    did everything I expect it to do except for this:
    The images do not appear in the topics. It creates a separate
    project manager folder for the images, as I expect it to do.
    However, the folder seems to contain nothing. Normally, I
    would expect to see images listed there. They aren't in the top
    directory as baggage files, either. They are in .gif and .jpg
    formats.
    The images do show up in the project's Windows directory, in
    the new folder corresponding to the "empty" directory in project
    manager. The Unused Files report finds them.
    I can't figure out what my colleague may have done when built
    the Word .doc -- nothing any different from what I usually do --
    that could explain this. Saving it as .docx or as .doc makes no
    difference. Converting it from .docx to .doc doesn't fix it. The
    import goes exactly the same on my two PCs. One runs Office 2007
    and RH 7. The other runs Word 2003 and RH 7. Of course, .docx won't
    run in the latter environment. Any .docx or .doc files that I built
    work fine.
    I found two workarounds, but first I'd really like to know
    what conditions in her Word files would cause RH to do this. Has
    anyone seen it, and is there a simple way to fix the Word doc?
    Otherwise these are her options:
    Option 1. Create a new Word document in Word 2007 and insert
    the complete original file (the new Word menu moved this to Insert
    > Object > Text from File). Save the new file as .doc or
    .docx. Import the new file into RH 7. Images appear in the topics
    and in the project manager under a new folder. (Copy all and paste
    into the new Word doc also works.)
    She has several large Word documents to deal with, so this is
    less than ideal.
    Option 2. In the new topics in RH, insert the images where
    they belong. While they don't appear in the project manager, the
    insert image dialog finds them. After we insert an image, RH shows
    it in the project manager. Probably, this would take longer than
    Option 1.
    Any ideas?

    Next time you have trouble importing a legacy Word .doc, try
    this:
    In Word, create a new file using the New command and the
    default .dot.
    Insert the contents of the legacy .doc from the menu command
    (not by cutting and pasting).
    In Word 7, they moved the "insert file" command to Insert
    > Object > Text from File . . .
    I'd think "insert text from file" would mean pasting
    something that doesn't include graphics. However, Word will bring
    in everything from the legacy .doc including formatting and styles.
    Save As . . . the new document as .doc or .docx. I don't
    think RH 7 cares. In our experience, jpegs and gifs sometimes were
    missing until we created the new Word file.
    Another wrinkle: In Explorer view, with a folder open, File
    > New allows you to create an empty Word document right there.
    We had some trouble using one of these for importing and saving the
    legacy .doc.
    Didn't have time to track it down. Was the legacy .doc
    created in Word 2003, and the conversion to .docx in 2007 glitched
    some images? In your case, it just happened to the .png files? As
    you previously speculated, images may have been handled differently
    in creating the original .doc.
    My hypothesis here is, whatever the reason for images getting
    lost in the import to Word, everything gets fixed -- even for pngs
    -- when you start with a clean slate in a new Word document created
    from the New menu in Word.

  • How to retain the hyperlinks when converting Word doc to PDF?

    For adobe acrobat 9 pro, I can't figure out how to keep the hyperlinks working. If I create pdf from word doc by save as, it can't embed fonts, but links work. If I use "print" in word, it embeds fonts, but some hyperlinks didn't work. What to do to keep fonts embedded and links working? It drove me crazy! HELP!!!

    Depends on the version of WORD. With OFFICE 2007, go to the Adobe menu and select Create PDF (this is PDF Maker). That will save the links. A similar process is needed for OFFICE 2003. With OFFICE 2010, you will have to upgrade to AA X or add them in Acrobat manually.

  • Unable to email word docs as attachments to PC

    I'm having trouble successfully emailing a word doc from my mac to a PC. Whenever the recipent receives the attachment, it's no longer a word document,
    and instead is converted into the following link: http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?EXT=07.
    Can't understand why the document is being converted into this link??? I tried sending it by both mac email and aol, checking the box "send windows friendly attachments" and neither worked. I have OS X 10.4.8 and am using the windows teacher student edition for microsoft word. Don't think the recipient's system is rejecting it as a virus, etc. b/c there's been no such warning after receiving my email. Anyone deal with this before??

    Make sure you're including .doc at the end of every file name otherwise Windows won't know what type of file it is.

  • Need to re-tag some Para styles of imported Word docs

    I'm hoping someone can help. I have a fairly modest-sized help system that is created from imported Word Docs (Office Word 2003). These documents use conventional paragraph styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.).
    In my RoboHelp X5 project, I've created a custom CSS file that I apply to the imported Word docs. After importing any of the docs, some of my paragraph styles become misaligned: for example, my Heading 3 paragraphs are flush with the left margin, rather than indented as they should. When I click inside the mis-aligned paragraph, I see that the paragraph is indeed tagged as Heading 3. At fist I thought it might have been my CSS file style definitions, but they appear to be fine. In fact, all I have to do to correct the paragraph alignment is to reassert the tag (ie From the RB Project window, click the para (the fomating combo box reads Heading 3), reselect (reapply) the style (Heading 3), and then select "Reapply formatting  of the style to the selection" from the Update/Reapply Style dialog. RH then correctly applies the alignment defined for the style in my CSS. Note, this appears only to be an alignment issue; the fonts and other attributes always seem to work on import. Unfortunately, I have to do this hundreds of times because I seem to have several styles that need retagging after import.
    Any ideas? I downloaded a trial copy of RB 8, hoping this was peculiar to X5, but RB8 behaved the same way.  If it's any help, I've pasted the HTML coding for a Heading 3 paragraph, 1) just after import 2) the para after Heading 3 style was reasserted. For some reason RH is "margin left" and "text-indent" attributes.
    1) Immediately after import
    <h3 style=
    "margin-left: 40.3pt; text-indent: -40.3pt;">2.2.1<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';">     
    </span>Using the Stylus</h3> 
    2) After retagging as heading Heading 3
    <h3>
    2.2.1<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';">     </span>Using the Stylus</h3>
    Thanks.....rob

    Judging from the excess spacing between the "2.2.1" and the H3 title, I suspect that your Word file has a tab set in there. I believe replacing the tab with one or two spaces should import the file without the indent.
    As to the font (span) tagging, are you sure that your Heading 3 style in Word is the original, default Heading 3, and not some re-styled Heading 3 based on Normal or something else, or a "Heading 3 + Font: 7 pt, Times New Roman", which would indicate inline modification of the style rather than a global replacement of settings for the style? I've never seen RH add span tagging unless it encounters non-standard styles in the base document.
    Select a test .doc file. Before importing it to RH, try these:
    Use Format Painter in Word to manually re-style any non-standard paragraphs.
    Do not attach a .css to the Word file, only to the resulting RH topic.
    Do you see a difference?
    Good luck,
    Leon

  • Best word doc editor?

    I'm looking for a word doc editor and viewer. i know about quickoffice and docs2go but don't need excel or powerpoint also that price tag is rough. does anyone know of a good word doc editor app? possibly one that can sync with my computer or can email docs?

    (1) You can then open Docs to go, retrieve the named blank, fill your expenses daily,

    Let me know if you need info on this.
    Why would you not be able to use Sheets to go as an attachment? File size?

    (3) You can use a PC to transfer info between the PC and the media card.
    Basically you will attach the USB to the BB and the PC. Don't use desktop
    manager. Go to "My Computer" on the PC and the BB will show as a flash drive.
    Then you can "drag and drop" files to the BB.
    Use the following settings in the memory option of the Storm:
    Media card support ON
    Encryption mode NONE
    Media transfer protocol ON (Storm and Bold only)
    Mass storage support ON
    Auto enable Mass storage support when connected ON
    What part is not clear?

  • Is there a way to sync word docs from MacBook to iPad?

    I've read through some forums about this but they all seem to be pretty old with a lot of back and forth about whether or not this is possible. I'm trying to see if there is a way to sync my word documents between my iPad and Macbook. I've tried pages but am not a fan and honestly have trouble transferring from a word doc to pages doc so I can edit it on my iPad then convert it  back from pages to word once I'm back on my Macbook and I have way too many documents to spend the time doing that and unfortunately they have to be in word.
    Anyway, just curious any help would be appreciated and please keep it friendly (I've seen a lot of bashing in these forums too)
    Thanks!
