Trouble with Equations When Exporting to Word

First, I should note, I'm an economist, equations are basically most of my documents.
I'm having trouble getting equations to export correctly to word (I have CS 6 with A. Pro X), what appears to be happening is that Acrobat tries to make the equation using standard characters, not using Word's equation editor. This doesn't really work, and you get results like this:
When this is from the PDF:
Does anyone know how to impove this behavior? Also, there seems to be conficting information about the ExportPdf service, some says it works some say stay away -- and there doesn't seem to be a free trial to try it out.

Well I found that TeX2WORD worked pretty well. It converted the TeX equations into MathType equations. It was not perfect, but the best I have had. I had no luck with the figures, but then I really use TeX as an intermediate step and am not that TeX saavy. It may be that if you use TeX, it will work fine for you. Converting from PDF will simply convert the equations into text in the right spot, but possibly the wrong fonts. I was actually surprised how well it did with AA XI, I was not expecting much at all (really great compared to older products of AA).
For the figures I simply reinserted them in the WORD file. Keep in mind I did this for OFFICE 2003. I believe TeX2WORD has been updated to work with the newer OFFICE. I had gone this route as the best way to get some of my word processor files into WORD -- I have a LaTeX output option and used that. Hope the suggestion helps. It is a direct route and avoids the added problems of additional conversions. This conversion is one of the only reasons I still keep an old Dell laptop around as it is the one that the software is license for. You can download a trial version to try.

Acrobat 9/9.1 - Coruption when export to Word

Hi,
I have been using Adobe Acrobat 9 for a few months now, both in version 9 and 9.1
I have recently been asked to utilise the export to Word feature, which from experience in version 8, has and should be a relatively painless process.
However, to my shock, version 9.x seems to have serious issues when exporting to Word. I find my documents are heavily truncated and often crash word on the second to last page of the document.
I have tried this in our Production environment, Test environment and on a vanilla installation of Windows 2003, to no avail.
I have tried the 'export to HTML' option as one of the guys on the forum suggested, but breaks the formatting considerably.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Andrew

You might try extracting page groups and see if it works on the page groups separately. It may just be one page or such that is having a problem. I really have no clue, but that might be a troubleshooting approach. As far as Adobe help, welcome to the world of Adobe. That is how a lot of us got to the forums.
Actually, for a lot of things you will find more help here than from the Adobe help anyway. There are a few things that they might be able to help on that folks here can not, but that would typically require them to consult the coding folks.

Pages 5 doc not showing comments when exported to Word

I'm using Pages 5 and I like it, but am having a problem. When I try to export a Pages document with comments into Word format, the file looks good on my Mac using Quick View. I can see the comments. It also looks fine when I open it with Pages, the comments still show. But when I email it to someone using Windows, the document does not show any of the comments, not even the highlighting.
I never had any problem with this using the previous version of Pages, where documents exported to Word format and the comments were visible.
I have resorted to copy/pasting my comments, then saving as a PDF, which works, but is sort of clumsy. Is there a better way to do this with Pages 5?

Thanks for the additional helpful information, Fruhulda. I didn't realize that they had removed important features in the so-called upgrade.
It sounds as if Pages 5 will work for fast and easy tasks, but Pages 09 will be good to have for heavy-duty work. I guess this explains why Pages 5 didn't overwrite Pages 09 on installation. They are really two different apps now.

Is it possible to choose which template to use when exporting to word?

Hi, just wanted to know is it possible to have more than one word template and be able to choose from these templates when exporting a document to word. Another question, can we choose the print layout at the point of clicking print, instead of selecting a default one in the PLD beforehand? Thanks.
(Using SAP Business One 2005B PL41)
Edited by: Tan Gavin on Oct 8, 2008 10:14 AM

Hi Tan Gavin
The answer to both questions is unfortunately NO. The templates are linked to specific events or triggers in the system and cannot be changed or determined by any user. With the PLD the limitation is that if you want different layouts, the only way is to change default the whole time. But bear in mind that the default could be set by user, BP or both. This does allow the system to use a different layout for each user or specific BP's.
Kind regards

Header of ALV with space when exported to excel using Standard ALV

Hi,
I am Using Reuse alv grid display    to dispaly my report and it works fine and I am using the standard SAP application tool to export it to excel.
But for some of the header fields I am getting space in the excel sheet but there is no space while displaying through ALV.
I am using the following field catalog for the same.
wa_fieldcat-col_pos = 10.
wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'SOLLWERT'.
wa_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'text-t10'.      "Target value (* this has no space here)
wa_fieldcat-outputlen = 32.
wa_fieldcat-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.
APPEND wa_fieldcat to it_fieldcat.
but there are still space for this Colomn when exported to excel if after optimizing the column.
kindly suggest what field needs to be passed to the field catalogoe to avoid spaces in excel for the header.
Thanks
Ritesh

hey all,
Thanks everyone for the reply.
I am using the foloowing field cat:
l_col_pos = l_col_pos + 1.
    wa_fieldcat-col_pos = l_col_pos.
    wa_fieldcat-outputlen = 32.
     wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'SOLLWERT'.
     wa_fieldcat-inttype   = 'P'.
*    wa_fieldcat-tabname = 'i_final'.
    wa_fieldcat-seltext_l = text-t11.         "Target Value
    APPEND wa_fieldcat TO i_fieldcat.
    CLEAR wa_fieldcat.
I have use this also in the field cat but stil i get space in the excel header.
wa_fieldcat-REF_FIELDNAME = 'SOLLWERT'.
*    wa_fieldcat-REF_TABNAME = 'QAMV'.
Also the space comes with the descrip[tion in the cell of excel.
its like [space Target Value] and i dont need this Space.
I have also used wa_layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'. but it doesnt wrk.
Please suggest

Crystal Reports Formatting issues when exporting to Word Editable document

Version: CR XI, I am editing a document exported from CR to Word Editable
When exporting to a Word Editable (.rtf) document the formatting changes. For example: lines that were drawn in the report do not come across, there is a tab in front of each line and a carriage return at the end of each line and spacing and justification formatting are not the same. Is there a way to export to Word Editable and keep the formatting integrity? This report was developed by a third party but I can edit it if needed.

Pages 5 is, as an early reviewer put it, "an unmitigated disaster." Not only does it lack some 100 feautres that are present in Pages 09 (4.3), it is also VERY buggy, A quick look through these discussions will reveal a painful litany of data corruption, files that cannot be opened, lost data, and other anomalies. Links do not export reliably to PDFs, and, as you've discovered, export to .docx format is unreliable. Sadly, the best advice is to trash Pages 5.1 and use Pages 4.3 or — yes, it's come to that — Word instead.

Trouble with MergeFormat tags appearing in Word doc

Hello! I have been living with this problem for ages, and
just manually deleting them. But, I now have a new coworker who
does not get the same problem when we single-source the same
project to Word.
When I create a single-source Word document, before each
topic heading in the newly generated Word doc, I get a tag like
this: { XE "GPA:setting up" \MERGEFORMAT} I get one for each index
entry for the topic. I do not generate an index when I generate
printed docs. I'm trying to figure out where to get rid of these.
It looks like a Word setting. My coworker and I have looked at all
of our options in both Robo and Word, and can't seem to find which
one made hers go away.
I use RH7 and Word 2003.
Any ideas? Thank you for your help in advance.

Sorry - I think I figured it out. I have to look at
formatting (Show/Hide Formatting) when I use Word, she does not. I
see now that the index entry tags don't print when you print the
Word docs (so I don't need to delete them) - but they are ugly to
look at as you are editing! Not sure if there is any other way to
view all other formatting marks without those. As long as I don't
have to delete them all anymore, and they don't appear in the
printed docs, I'm happy.
Thanks anyway.

Problem with interlacing when exporting with Media Encoder CS 5.5

It seems that when exporting a Video with interlacing in Premiere 5.5 with Media Encoder 5.5, the exported video is still interlaced although it is rendered with progressive settings. When rendering with the same settings through Premiere 5.5 without Media Encoder 5.5 (Button "Export") it is correct and progressive.
I tried this with H264 and MPEG2. Anyone experiencing this problem too?
Thanx!

Were the field interpretted correctly in the first place? Even if you think they are, try reversing them. I've just been through hell doing something similar with a mishmash of client material from around the world.
In some instances I switched field order (In the File>Modify) although it didn't seem logical. In others, I used AE CS5.5 to added the Reduce Interlace Flicker filter.

Problems with audio when exporting to movies

Hi All,
I teach sequencing and one of the projects is to score a short piece of music to film. Logic Pro 9 is great for this (though beat mapping isn't the most friendly of functions) and my students (most only 16-18 years old) have made some great projects.
Right the question is what are the best settings to use when exporting the audio to movie? Some students don't get any sound when bounced or some are getting the oprginal with the new audio (doubled).
To assess and store student work we use vimeo for video projects and the wierdest thing is that when uploaded these bounces (the ones that worked) have no sound at all.
Never had these issues with Logic 8 and just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can resolve this?
Thanks and happy new year.

I've used flip4mac for about a year and have had no problems with it. I mostly use it to export preview versions for windoze people. The quality is very good, though it takes significantly longer to export than a similar-quality quicktime movie.

Jittery motion with stills when exported to Quicktime

I've been producing photographic AVs with FCE for a few years now and I've run into a problem with the latest version (3.5).
Any time I use keyframes to do a Ken Burns effect it gets all jittery when exported to Quicktime. Everything plays back fine within FCE - it's only when exported that the problem occurs. The problem didn't exist (for me) with version 3. It seems to be exacerbated by adding a transition but it happens even when there's no transition.
Has anyone experienced this or have any idea what I might be able to do to remedy it.
regards and thanks

That's what you did when you switched the field
dominance to none, but you see you didn't see any
effect when you did that.
No, none at all.
I have a fairly major show on Friday night (it's Wednesday pm here now) so I'm thinking I might spend the night redoing it in iMovie. I'm disappointed because I've been doing them in FCE for a few years now and this is the first time I've seen a problem. The only thing which has changed is the jump from 3 to 3.5.
Many thanks for your suggestions.

Trouble with margins when converting Word doc to PDF

When I convert a word document to a PDF (using Print >> Save as PDF), the resulting PDF (in Preview) cuts off my page numbers which are centered at a half-inch from the bottom. They have to stay there. I've tried changing the non-printable area to "User Defined" at 0 but that didn't work. Any help would be much appreciated!

Problems with superscript when exporting to PDF

If one writes in a table cell for example "100m3 tank" with 3 as a superscript, then exports the document to PDF, the
"3 tank" disappears, likewise if one just writes "100m3", the 3 disappears. However, if you just write "m3", the three in superscript remains. Any fixes for this bug? How can I report it to Apple?

I just came across this same problem -- similar but not exactly the same.
Text in a table does not print properly when text is superscripted.
This is a problem since we have a French invoice that has a fair bit of superscript. I tried to work around by decreasing the font size and increasing the baseline, but this did not work.
I'm using Pages 5.1 and Mavericks.
Anyone have any ideas????

Problems with EXIF when exporting portrait style pictures.

So, I just recently upgraded 09 with the intention of using it to organize my photography work. I didn't work much with 08 and didn't have any photos in it so I don't know if this has always been a problem or not. When I import photos that have been shot vertically, in portrait mode, something is being done to the EXIF data, other than it being rotated. My camera has auto-rotate on and they were originally transfered with the software Canon gives you. Anyways, when I export these photos, whether by dragging tot he desktop or File >> Export, and then open it in another program, such as preview, and attempt to view the EXIF data, it's nonexistent. I should mention that these photos were not edited in any way in iPhoto, just imported and then exported. Also, the EXIF data can be viewed in iPhoto, just not anywhere else apparently.
I've sort of solved the problem just by trial and error but I still don't know what causes it. When I select these photos and use "Revert to Original", they export perfectly and have all the EXIF data. Also, if I edit the photo somehow, enhance, etc., the EXIF seems to come back when I export. This only seems to affect the photos shot in portrait so I can only imagine it has something to do with how iPhoto deals with the autorotate function on already rotated photos. I decided I would try to import directly to iPhoto rather than import from camera with the Canon software and then import into iPhoto to see if it was the Canon software but the same issue occurs. So, my options at this point are to just select all my photos that I import and revert to original or turn off autorotate on my camera and sift through my photos and manually rotate them. The former isn't a huge deal but it would be a lot more convenient if all my EXIF didn't get erased every time I take a portrait shot in and out of iPhoto. Other than that, I don't seem to see any option to change how photos are imported but maybe I'm missing something obvious.
I was wondering if anyone else has this issue, or if it was a problem in iPhoto '08. If it matters, my camera is a Rebel XT.

When iPhoto rotates the auto rotated photos from your Canon the modified file that gets creates loses much of the EXIF data. To get the EXIF data included in the file you have to export the file to the desktop via File->Export->File Export and select the option to include the title and keywords.
Another way is to turn off the auto-rotate in the camera, upload to the desktop first where you can losslessly rotate those files with PhotoTool CM orXee. Then import into iPhoto. That way no modified file is created and if you drag the photo to the desktop you'll be getting the original file which contains the EXIF data.
