When converting a Word doc to a PDF the pictures are surrounded by a blue shadowed boxes

I started off with a PDF, then converted to a Word doc, made necessary changes, and converted back to a new PDF. However, the new PDF has put blue colored boxes around all the pictures. Anyone know how to fix?

I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro on a workstation using Windows 7.
I have converted docs this way many times before, but for some reason it does not seem to complete the process about 50% of the time these days.
Here is a screen shot
Thanks!! Tom

How to maintain original lines when converting a word file in a PDF

Unfortunately the table lines often change when converting a word file in a PDF, e.g. dotted/broken lines into straight lines or different kinds of broken lines. How can I maintain the original lines when converting the documents?
Many thanks in advance for your advice.

Hello,
Ok, this is the background.
I’m a publisher. Any document to end user will go as pdf. And off course it preserves the word appearance. We ship our manuals only in pdf. At this point my end users have to copy the “CODES” into his editor to run the product. So when doing it, the “Codes” copied from pdf to his editor loses its format. Editor need not be the actual one; you can also test in a notepad.
P.S: You can find the difference by copying the code from word to notepad and pdf to notepad
Hope you now understood the purpose what I’m looking at for.

Hit command tab and swtich to the Finder, under the Apple menu is Force Quit, do that to the program that is causing your "hang" and restart the program and what you were doing.
If you didn't save your file beforehand, then your going to have to make it again.

Convert MS Word (.doc) document to pdf document

Hi All,
My requirement is that I need to convert MS Word (.doc) document to pdf document.
Is there any standard SAP function module.
Pls guide me.
Rishi

I dont understand why you want to use SAP to convert word file to PDF file.
1. Search in google
2. www.win2pdf.com - this may be useful
Still if you want to use SAP to do that then follow the below procedure.
   1. Upload the data from word to internal table using the function module : GUI_UPLOAD.
   2. Use spool :
              1) RSPO_OPEN_SPOOLREQUEST - Open spool request
              2) RSPO_WRITE_SPOOLREQUEST - Write to spool request
              3) RSPO_CLOSE_SPOOLREQUEST - Close spool request
   3. use the function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert spool in to PDF format.

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
However, even if presented with multiple prints with
the same name, the spooler should print each one!
The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

Why when I am converting a word doc into a PDF are some of the pages moving around. It appears to be

Why when I am converting a 50 page word doc into a PDF using Acrobat XI Pro the pages are moving around.
It appears to be happening in the places where the previous page is not a complete full page, just a half page.
It is moving these pages up into the previous half page, but it is only moving them several lines into that page
Which has totally distored my e-book.
It is attaching all my pattern sheets at the very end of the file okay, etc.

Also, to be more sure you get in the PDF what you are seeing in WORD, go to the print menu and select the Adobe PDF printer, then go back to editing. The is a feature of almost all word processors to reflow the document for best results with the attached printer. It is also one of the problems of using WORD forms that such form designers miss. If you don't like the reflow, many the Adobe PDF printer your default and always print to Acrobat. If you want it to go to a printer, then print from Acrobat to that printer and it should remain intact. The other way to avoid the reflow is to use a layout program like Publisher or InDesign.

Links breaking when converting from word docs to PDFs in Acrobat X Pro

I have experienced this same problem when trying to convert word documents to PDFs in Preview:
For hyperlinks that are active in MS Word (2011 version for Mac), but take up more than one line (they include a line break), the same links in the converted PDFs will only recognize the first line of text in the hyperlink (the hyperlinks in the docs I need to convert are the full URLs that are also hyperlinks to the same URL). As a result these links open a URL that is shortened and doesn't exist.
Is this a common problem, and is there a way have the full links be recognized automatically when converting to PDFs?
I have been able to get around this so far by creating the "invisible rectangle" links in Acrobat behind where the full link should be, but it is painstaking for large docs with many links.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Tim

Afraid not
This is an Old Problem that has been banted about since Acrobat has existed. We have two companies that are blaming each other for the Problem Adobe and Microsoft. Instead of Blaming each other Adobe needs to get their head out of their back side and fix the problem. I mean 15 years is enough to do blaming.
You can take the same PDF's with links created Mac Office Document and open in Office for PC and create the PDF and it works in Acrobat. Or you can create the PDF in MacOffice and open in Acrobat PC and it works. So the problem is squarely with Acrobat. But they refuse to fix it.
You might download and try PDFPen Pro and see if can create working Links in it. or a Utility called CUPS-PDF. CUPS-PDF installs a Print Driver Much Like Acrobat Use to.
You go to it to create the PDF. It is sent to a special folder. and the PDF are named with number appended to begining (example: Job_1TheMoon.docx.pdf). Rename as desired and open may have links.

Figures order gets messed up when converting from Word 2010 to Acrobat PDF

Hi,
Im wondering if someone can help me. I have a 10 page document in Word 2010 with many figures (rectangles and circles overlapping each other). The order of these figures are essential. I have triplechecked the order in Word with the correct figure marked as on top. But when I convert (by printing) to PDF the order of the figures gets messed up making a mess in the document.
I have Acrobat 9.
Could someone please help me with this?
Many thanks!

I solved this by taking the document with me to a computer with Word 2007 installed instead of 2010. I guess the problem lays in the fact as some of you mentioned that Acrobat 9 doesnt support Word 2010. Now I know why! This is a bummer though, upgrading to Acrobat X isnt exactly cheap and I dont want to downgrade Word as I really like some of the new features in it (as the screenclip option).
Thanks for your answers!

When I send a newsletter as a pdf the photos are blurry.

When I send my newsletter made with Pages as a pdf the photos all look very blurry. I tried larger size files and same problem. I sent the original template with the Apple default photos and they are blurry as well. I've only looked at them on our two computers, both Macs. I size my photos no larger than 800 pixels on the longest side @72dpi. I have received a pdf newsletter made with Pages from someone else, and the photos look fine.

Are you using the shadow tool in your document ?

When exporting to PDF, the pictures are not the same size I "placed" them

I am "placing" pics that are 653 x 983 pixels, 300 DPI, using CS4. However, my issue is when exporting to PDF, the PDF doesn't look like the same size I "placed" the pic until I blow it up to about 350%. I do not have a printer set up to my computer so I can't do the print/pdf option. Am I doing something wrong here? I can't figure it out. Your help is appreciated. Thanks!

Well, right when I open the PDF, it's just way too small, imagine it being the size of a business card. I have to keep zooming in until it gets to the size I originally intended it to be. When I create a new document am I suppose to make it the same size as the picture?

I am using Aperture to make a photo book. I have about 400 photos in the project. I am able to select the photos I want for 20 pages, then when I try to add a page, all the pictures are selected. How do I add additional pages and still control the pix

I am using Aperture to make a photo book. I have about 400 photos in the project that I am selecting from. I want to use about 70 for the book. I am allowed to pick and choose photos until I fill 20 pages. Then when I select add page, I am allowed to select all the pictures in the project. I am not allowed to select. I think I hve to change a setting, bt what? Thanks for the help.

. I am not allowed to select. I think I hve to change a setting, bt what?
David, have you enabled the "Autoflow" options? There are settings behind the cogwheel, that will automatically place unused images onto new pages. If you only want to select a few images from a large project, disable these two options:
Or start your book froman album, that only contains a selection of your images, rather than from the whole project.

Garbled result when converting MS Word doc to pdf.

I am on a PC running XP professional using Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro (CS3) v.8.
Recently, after converting a variety of MS Office documents successfully from Acrobat Pro v8 with updates applied, I can no longer successfully convert these files. The converted documents are a jumble of symbols and characters. They look somewhat like a postscript file printed on a non-postscript printer.
All the programs have been re-installed and the problem still exists. Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this problem. I have tried converting them through Word and Acrobat Pro with no luck.
HELP!

The only problem I have now is printing acrobat 4 pdf files through Mozilla Firefox Vers. 3.0.1. Acrobat 7 reader is also installed and IE 7 prints the pdfs just fine. I also printed pdfs through some local apps I use just to be sure the problem is possibly isolated to a call through Mozilla Browser versus anything else. As I recall, I also had this problem prior to Mozilla and XPSP3 upgrades. So now I just print through through IE, as a workaround.
I do not have MS Word installed...yet, but do have Open Office installed, so for the moment my problem is solved.
Hope this helps.
