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.

  • 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.

  • Word docs and PDFs on iPad

    I don't have an iPad yet but I'm considering buying one. Can I transfer a Word doc or a PDF from my computer to an iPad in order to read it? To edit it?

    You have to be careful with annotation apps. With some, you can view the annotations in some pdf readers but not others. There have been discussions about this before, below I include a post by GNRBeaumont. I have PDF Expert, but it can't create the two types of annotation formats (see below) - but it does have other features that are valuable. Since iAnnotate PDF can handle the two formats, I bought that as well. You'll also be wise to have several pdf readers, since some do not read material that other do. Anyway, the post I referred to...
    "I have spent several hours of research and trial and error and money on numerous apps to learn a surprising thing about pdf.
    Annotations will not show up unless [1] the viewing app supports the particular format by which the annotation was added or [2] You are using an annotation that saves in image format (still a pdf file).
    I like the latter but that means the annoation can not be edited.
    The best for "2" are neu.annotate and noterize. When your annotations are made in this format everything will read it including built in email attachment viewer.
    Number "1" is a mess. If you use editable format for adding annotation then the built in email viewer will not show it and many other pdf readers (iPad and desktop) MAY not read it. I have had really crazy combos, including one where my desktop would see it but when it printed the annotation disappeared.
    The app in "1" category that seems most universally reliable is pdf expert.
    iannotate is the only one I know of that lets you choose what format (editable or non editable) to save in. But it currently has a rotation bug that they are working on.
    Since I want to make sure that whomever I send annotations to can see them, I use method "2" "

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.

    SUMMARY
    Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
    .chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
    only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
    PROBLEM
    1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
    sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
    where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
    2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
    3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
    sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
    placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
    4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
    5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
    hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
    6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
    topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
    7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
    8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
    DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
    9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
    a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
    appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
    file?”. The buttons that are available are
    “Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
    These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
    works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
    new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
    10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
    files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
    the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
    program event is played (the “Windows XP
    Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
    Other Notes:
    - The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
    “View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
    HTML project.
    - Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
    again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
    - A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
    (iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
    WORKAROUND
    Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
    hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
    following steps:
    1. Leave the .chm file open.
    2. Open Internet Explorer.
    3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
    4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
    the “General” tab.
    5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
    click the “Delete Files…” button.
    6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
    “Delete all offline content” and then click
    “OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
    Files” dialog box closes.
    7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
    Options” dialog box.
    8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
    the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
    will now work.

    “Shockwave Flash Object”.
    REQUEST FOR HELP
    I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
    their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
    solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
    want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
    Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

    You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.

  • Convert Word doc to PDF

    I need assistance on this issue:
    "Enter Description of Issue:
    We are trying to implement a solution to automatically convert Word documents generated by Siebel to PDF's in order to mail them to customers.
    I see from other support requests you advice to find 3rd part software to do this. Can you tell me if you know of any 3rd party software that another Siebel customer has been able to use to do this?
    We wish to call this software fom script or workflow so that the converted document can then be attached back into siebel and mailed to a customer.
    I understand the principle of how we can get documents from the file system and then using com or a command line call an application that will do the conversion, but as yet we have not found a good 3rd party software to do the conversion."
    So far, I suggest one Enhancement Request(12-161Y57N) to customer but seems is not enough.
    The last update from customer side, was:
    "Is it possible to just give me a plain answer to my main question.
    Do you know of any other customers who have similar functionality and do you know what application they sed to do the conversion? "
    Do you have any idea on regards on PDF converter?

    Hi,
    Can we convert the word doc to PDF using PI intarface.
    I think it is not possible convert the word doc to PDF. Since they are Proprietary  format of Microsoft and Adobe respectively
    my source system sends a doc file & I have to convert it into a PDF doc and then further I have to sent it to target,
    You might have to convert the word document to PDF using available software and then send to target system
    You might have to develop some module program to convert.
    There is one similar blog which explains conversion from XML to PDF. It might help you

  • 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'.

  • One workflow to join docs and pdfs to one big pdf

    Hi! I've been trying to do something that, until now, just hasn't worked.
    I have a bunch of word docs in a folder and I want to convert them to pdf and join them together. I have no problem with that. But, can I use the same workflow to join pdfs together that were not word docs to begin with? An action to "ignore the conversion" if the file is already a pdf.
    Furthermore, can I grab a bunch of docs and pdfs and join them in one giant pdf so that the docs will be converted and then the multiple pdfs joined with just one workflow?
    If so, how?
    Thank you very much.

    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!
