Truncated Word Docs

When I convert from PDF to Word using the Adobe Export PDF it is truncating the top of my document?  Any ideas?

Thanks but I searched and searched there.  Nothing listed that addresses this issue.  Am I the only person to upgrade to 10.6 and have a problem with seeing type in Word afterwards?  Does anyone understand what the error message means?

  • PDF indexing of Word.doc Keywords: kind of disappointing

    If we could embed document properties like Keywords in Word, and then convert Word.docs to PDFs , and then index the PDFs using Acrobat Pro, theoretically it would allow for lightning-fast keyword search and review, through a zillion PDFs.
    Except, there are unexpected glitches that are either undocumented... or, if the documentation exists, it's either hard to find or too scantily worded.
    Here's a few things I've observed, using Windows XP, Office 2007 and Acrobat 8 Pro:
    1. Word document properties only transfer over to PDF if you use the Acrobat tab in Word's ribbon to generate the PDF via PDFMaker, which apparently invokes some 'more robust' implementation of Distiller, than occurs if you simply use the print dialog to print to PDF.  THIS IS PROBABLY A BIG SOURCE OF USER CONFUSION THAT DISCOURAGES MANY USERS FROM GOING ANY FURTHER WITH EXPERIMENTING WITH PDF INDEXING OF WORD DOCUMENT PROPERTIES.  IT CAN LEAD YOU TO CONCLUDE THAT NONE OF THE WORD DOCUMENT PROPERTIES EXCEPT FOR TITLE, CAN SURVIVE A PDF CONVERSION.
    2. When you invoke PDFMaker, when the "Save Adobe PDF File As" dialog appears, you must click on the button at the bottom that is labeled "Adobe PDF conversion Options' and verify that the "Convert document information" check box is checked. (This may be able to be set as a permanent user preference somewhere, but I'm not quite sure where.)
    3. The Properties fields in Word that will come over, include Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords.  (The Comments field is ignored, as far as I can tell.)
    4. You can now index the PDFs, and these Properties fields will also be indexed.....well, Sort Of.
    5. "Sort Of", because if you then search for any of the text in your Properties fields, (like for example you search for a word or phrase that you've embedded in their Keywords fields), the advanced search result won't be displayed quite the way 'found hits' normally display in a PDF index search results screen.   You may expect to see the contents of those Keywords fields, show up in the search results in a long list of 'found' file icons with ALL (or a generous selection) of their surrounding Keywords also displayed, and with the specified found keyword highlighted in BOLD.
    But, that's not what happens. What you really get is an icon showing the contents of the Title field (which you didn't search for.) It basically means that Acrobat has found a document with something you searched for, in it....but Acrobat is not going to show it to you as easily as you are accustomed to seeing it. You only have two choices: (1) either hover your mouse over each found file's Title icon, one by one, until its screentip-type popup window appears, showing you all the contents of all four of that document's Properties fields; or (2) click on the icon, display the PDF, go to File Properties, and observe that file's properties dialog box.
    This is disappointing: the fast, easy, contextual lookup advantages you've enjoyed with regular PDF index searches appear to be unavailable when it comes to viewing search results on indexed document properties. I can understand the logic; (why show other keywords surrounding the searched-for keyword? If they're not in a sentence, there's really no contextual relationship, and therefore no reason to show them.)
    However, what if users wanted to store logically related keywords in a deliberate organized pattern..ie,
    Texas, Car, 1999, Ford, Mustang, Green
    Texas, Car, 2000, Ford, Mustang, White
    Texas, Car, 2000, Ford, Mustang, Yellow
    Texas, Car, 2000, Chevrolet, Corvette, Blue
    Ohio, Car, 2006, Honda, Civic, Silver
    ...etc.
    In this context, all keywords are logically related; it could be a big advantage to be able to use PDF Index search to instantly find and view a list of all 5,328 White 2000 Ford Mustangs located in Texas....then pop up their insurance.doc PDFs for further details.
    Allowing the user to set a preference to 'show all stored propery values in the search results' instead of an arbitrary length string of surrounding values, could also be very helpful, so that the full information depicted in the above example could actually be fully displayed, not arbitrarily truncated.
    I guess the only workaround is to forget Word's Document Properties, and just embed keywords within the document itself, such as maybe at the end of the document, maybe colored white (so they can't be easily seen).  Formatting them as hidden text doesn't work; Acrobat ignores hidden text when you convert from Word to PDF.

    I seem to get hard returns in all cases. That is why I had the short answer. I do not remember if saving as a DOC got rid of the hard returns. Of course the simplest way to find out is to try it. I went to another machine and the Save As to a DOC file did not put in the hard returns (cut and paste did). I should note that the PDF was produced from a totally different word processor and was not a WORD native document. That would suggest it is not dependent on the tags that can be included by WORD and PDF Maker.

  • I cannot send a Pages document, Word format via email from my ipad if it has a picture in the the doc.  I can send a Word doc if it does not have a pic in it or pdf with a pic.  Any thoughs why a word doc with a pic in it won't email in Pages?  thanks

    I cannot send a Pages document, Word via email if the doc contains a picture.  If I email a Pages doc without a pic in Word format or pdf with a pic it with go through to sender?  Not sure why Pages won't send Word doc with a picture in it.  I check the security on the email recipient and the email doesn't get blocked or throw in the junk box?
    thanks,

    If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion, Save As… has returned to the File menu when you hold down the Option/alt key. But you don't really "save" as other file types, you translate & export as Word or RTF or text or PDF & that is easily done by going to File > Export or Share > Export.
    Also, please do us all a favor & don't use all capitals in your posts, either the body of the post or the title. All caps is the internet equivalent of shouting & is very hard to read.

  • When converting word doc to pdf, my images with text only show the background color of the text box.

    I have a word doc that I am trying to conver to pdf.  I have jpegs with text boxes on top of them on one page.  It looks great on the screen but after I convert to pdf, the text boxes only have half the text, the first half of the text box is just white - the background color.  If I take the background color out of the text box, the text converts over fine but I need the background color.
    I have tried many things here on the print settings, standard, high quality print, unchecking the compression on the images.  Any help?

  • Convert multiple files (word docs) to multiple pdf

    Hi,
    Is there a script I can use in batch processing to convert about 1500 word documents into pdf? I know it's possible to convert multiple files into one pdf, but this is no good to me. Doing these conversions one by one is going to take forever!
    I've tried selecting a few documents at a time and then selecting "convert to pdf" from the right-click menu, but each one requires that you tell it where to save, and then opens the file when it is done.
    I need to convert Word files on a regular basis for work, and could really use a batch process for this with so many to do!
    I have Acrobat 7 Pro (version 7.1.0) on XP Pro SP 2 at work, and Acrobat 8 Pro (Version 8.1.2) on XP Pro SP 3 at home.
    If there is anyway it's possible to do this via a batch process I would really appreciate knowing how!!
    Apologies if this has been covered in another thread, I searched but couldn't find anything.
    Thanks in advance :)

    I have Acrobat 9 Pro. I can batch convert Word docs to PDFs by doing this:
    1. Open Acrobat Pro. Click File > Create PDF > Batch Create Multiple Files...
    2. A window will open prompting you to add files. Click Add Files > Add Files... OR Add Folders... If adding a folder, navigate to it, and click OK to add it to the list. You can also select a bunch of files and drag & drop them into the Add Files window.
    3. Once you have all the files listed that you want to convert, click OK. A new window called Output Options will open. In this window, select your preferred settings. For me, I want all the new PDFs to have the same filename and be in the same folder as the Word docs, so I choose these settings:
    4. Click OK, and then the batch process will begin running. You will see Word opening and closing. However, you won't have to click Save or anything. You can run it unattended. The process takes a little while, so I usually set up a batch to run, then go to lunch. Once finished, you should have all your new PDFs:
    Hope that helps someone!

  • Using PDF Printer TO Print Multiple Word Docs At Once.

    I Have Just upgraded from acrobat to acrobat 3d. In Acrobat 5 i was able to select a batch of word document (150+ usually) and use the send to command to send them to the acrobat distiller and each document would open one at a time print and then close. I have now been upgraded to Acroabat 3D and if i use the same Send to Command to send a batch of word docs to the pdf printer it tries to open all the selected files at once and i get an error message "the command cannot be performened because a dialog box is open..." this is because the 1st document is open and printing so the secound document that opened at the same time cannot operate the print command. Can Anyone help?

    Thanks for the suggestion but...
    1. I can't get these scripts to run in 10.4.8
    What if you save the script as a stand alone app? Does that make a difference?
    2. I haven't spent much timr trying since it looks
    like thy only convert "JPEG", "GIFf", "PICT", "TIFF",
    "PDF" & "TEXT". Am I wrong?
    That's what it looks like from the "extension-list" - what type of files are you trying to convert?

  • Creating a link to a word doc

    I'm having trouble creating a link to a word doc on my computer.
    I select "enable as hyperlink" and then "Link to file".
    I select the the word doc on my computer. It didn't create a link to the file.
    Hmmmm... then I tried it with a pdf. Still no link.
    Do I need to have a pdf ? The document was created with microsoft word.
    However I also tried it with an old Adobe pdf file.. still no go.
    Any thoughts? I'm using an old version of iWeb 1.1.2
    Thanks.

    That should work too.
    NOTE: Links to files aren't testable within iWeb — they become active when published and viewed in a browser.
    An alternative approach is to post MS Word docs (or PDFs) to the free Posterous where they'll be automatically presented in a convenient viewer, e.g.
    http://dont-panic.posterous.com/pdf-document-example
    ...Then in iWeb set up a simple text or image hyperlink to that particular Posterous blog entry.

  • I am trying to get my word doc's to fit PDF pages correctly

    I have a website and I rely on my opt-in email lists when people sign-up for my reports that are sent out in PDF form. I write the reports in a 2007 word doc. and save them into a PDF but the pages don't save as a full page sometimes it only takes up half the width of the page and doesn't go to the top either as if it was simply centered in the PDF. How can I change this or what am I doing wrong? If you need to see the pdf just goto http://www.yourmobilevoice.com and you can download it yourself. It takes alot of time to write the reports but even longer to try to get them to fit properly.

    I am sorry as you can see, you would need to sign up for the report in
    order to get it. Otherwise Pat an opt-in email list would not work if they
    can just download it, but thanks if you want me to send it direct to you I
    sure can do that as well.
    Thanks Scott

  • Opening a Word doc

    Hello all, I am new to Flex.  I have some experience with AS3 (still switching over from AS2).
    Anyway, I am making a Flex project where I have a text link in a datagrid.  This link needs to open a word document that is on our company network.  Currently I'm working on my own personal computer on my C drive (not sure if that affects anything - when i hit Run does it run the application from my C drive? It should still work from there i'd think?)  We have a bunch of other drives on our network, and the word doc I'm trying to open is on a "P:" drive.
    I'm not sure what I might be doing wrong, but I created a LinkButton and tried 2 different attempts at opening a Word doc.
    I tried creating a new URLRequest and navigateToURL to attempt to open the word doc - nothing happens when I click the link. The link button will launch google if i replace my word doc path with the google url.
    I tried sending the file path to javascript via ExternalInterface and having javascript open it up.  It doesn't work that way either.
    Is there something I should know about opening up a Word doc file with Flex? Or possibly is it not working because of where the file resides?  Any thoughts?
    Thanks
    -Michele

    Actually, no and yes. No you do not have to re-save all of your Word files. It depends on what you want to do with them.
    The file you have open is actually a Pages file which was created by converting the old Word file (which has not been altered at all). If you want to keep it and any changes you have made as a Pages file, you must "save as." The next time you open that file, it will open naturally in Pages. Every time you open the original Word file, since it has not been converted to native Pages, it will go through the same translating process as it did this time.

  • 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.

  • Preserving HTML links when converting Word docs

    I created a document in MS Word for Mac 2011 (ver 14.5.2)
    When I used Adobe Pro 11 to convert the document into pdf format, all the HTML links are lost. 
    I have tried converting from MS Word, opening the word version with Adobe Pro, printing from MS Word to pdf.  Nothing works. Even opened the MS Word document using Apple's Pages software, re-formatted and then converted to pdf.  Still no live links.
    Best work around so far is to convert and then use the edit feature in Adobe Pro to re-insert the HTML links as invisible rectangles on top of the still-blue-and- underlined text.  So to the user it looks like the html links are still live, but what a pain for editor.
    I have seen this issue raised in other posts, but none of the answers seem to work. And the work around described above is clearly less than ideal.
    Very curious, as reading other posts, the issue apparently does not arise when the word doc converted from a Wintel computer.  But I can't imagine Adobe writes software one way for Intel and another for Mac.

    Imagine it. this has been 15 year fued between Microsoft and Adobe.  Adobe Claims that Mac office doesn't hav ethe proper hooks for URLs. Microsoft says the fault is with adobe.
    Since a Word Created file will work when opened in the windows version  and saved as a PDF, the links work just fine. Just opening and not saving, but converted to Pdf does nothing to the actual Word File.
    They had it fixed last year  in Acrobat X if your dropped the file on to Acroabt directly. But broke it again with the upgrade to XI.
    IF you have iWork and Open the word file in Pages then exported as a Word.docx file then create The PDF the links will become active.  Also if you Open in OpenOffice and export as docx file the resulting PDF when open in Word and PDF is Created the links will become active.
    If you have neither you will have to open the PDF and add the links. Note the Links will be hot (active) but the links will not turn Blue and  be Underlined
    Mac Office2011 is a Conversion of Office2010/2007 code.  So there should be no pproblem.
    Also Don't use the Save As . . .  PDF Method. Instead go to Print Menu  click on PDF wait for context menu > the choos Adobe Quality PDF or Adobe PDF (uses Adobe's PDF engine).
    wait for next screen that shows qualtity leave as sent unles you need specific job options. click okay then next screen File name. Rename as necessary the browser to desired to location then click save.  Or you can drop the saved Word document (with Word quit.) on to Acrobat and after a minute or so the PDF will be created. (Using this method in AcrobatX would actully show URL s or Mailtos as active - They broke this in Acrobat XI PDF still can be created but hot links no longer work).
    Well it seems it does work on occasion  see: http://www.screencast.com/t/cib2kcYG

  • Open WORD docs question....

    I have iWorks 09 and Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook. When someone emails me a Word Doc and I open it, the doc opens in Pages, not Word. Yet when I receive an Excel or Powerpoint, these open in the original format. What do I need to do to have Word docs open with Word and not Pages?
    Thank you,

    With inexperienced users, even some experienced users, you should never give incomplete instructions.
    That is why, when I can, I give full starting point and paths of the necessary steps.
    You may know where something is but not everyone else does.
    This is the bane of most instructional books. The worst are those dealing with Adobe's products which suffer enormously from palletitis and features stashed willy nilly throughout a badly thought through interface.
    Pages and OSX have some fairly key functions stashed out of sight and you do need to give the full path to access them.
