When converting multiple word and excel docs to a combined PDF random pages have blue background in the finalized PDF.

I have a user using Acrobat 10. It was installed two weeks ago and initially had no problems. Today she reported that when she tries to convert multiple word and excel docs by selecting them, and right clicking on them to select convert/combine to PDF, random pages in the finished PDF have a blue background. I did some searching online and can find no information about this problem. Can anyone here shed some light on this issue and maybe point me in the direction of a solution? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Gilad,
So, something I didn't consider was that this could be a setting in the office docs. The reason I didn't consider this was be cause we tested multiple docs and had similar results each time. I went back and looked into this possibility and found a setting in word that was causing this issue. Although the word doc showed no page color when opened in word, if I went to "Page Layout" -> "Page Color", a shade of blue was selected. By selecting "No Color", and then converting/combining the docs to PDF we got the desired result. Thanks again for your reply!

PDF , word and excel doc s

Where can I find PDF files, word and excel docs downloaded to my I ppad 3 ?

What app did you download them into ? The iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer so unless you downloaded them into an app then they won't be stored on the iPad.

I downloaded lion but now I cannot access my word and excel docs for work. What can be done easily to open all my files?

Have not a clue if this a LION problem or Microsoft problem. My gut says Microsoft as they acknowledge the problem in their support section. Their solution: Open files with previous version of Word. That is completely unacceptable as a solution in my opinion. Why would have I ever bothered to upgrade to 2011 if I had known I need to keep a version of 2008 running on my computer.
Honestly I don't know if it's a Lion or MS problem eihter. I have been using Lion for many months with Office 2011 with no problems though.The earliest version I had on my machine was 2008 and 2011 opened those files with no problems at all. As Dave mentioned earlier he opens Office 2004 files all the time with 2011.
One thing you might want to do is restart the computer while holding down the Option key then select the Restore Volume and run Disk Utility and repair the Disk Permissions on the HD. Run DP at least 2x.

In Pages, what do you do when converting to Word and get "unknown error occurred" How can you fix the conversion?

Can anybody help me. In Pages how can I deal with "unknown error occurred" when converting to Word?

Thanks for you suggestion roaminggnome. I tried typing in 13019 like you said and it gave me a few options to try and fix it but none of them worked (of course). I fiddled around with it for a while some more on my own and some how got it to work again, lol. Thanks again though for offering a solution.

Word and Excell Docs

Once I email an excell or word doc and open it. Where can I save it on my IPhone?

For now just keep the email they're in. You can also email it to yourself and grab it with your primary email archiving machine.
Hopefully we can look forward to resident apps which will store them, open them, edit them, etc. -- but none last I looked.

Mass installation of DocService ActiveX for Word and Excel doc on-line edit

Hi guys,
if u want to edit on-line office document in KM, u have to have DocService ActiveX installed. Our customer has disabled feature of installation ActiveX for end-users, so we need to do mass installation on workstations. Any experience, how to do it?
Peter

I used regmon to obtain the registry keys added when you install the activeX control, and developped an msi with Visual Studio Installer.
Now, everytime a new editor need the activeX, I ask my domain administrator to deploy it to the user.
The other solution is to use the Java applet, but you need to deploy the JRE to all editors.

Other owners can't view the added information in Sharepoint word and Excel documents

Hi,
I have a question where from a workplace, the owners can adjust or add information in Word and Excel docs wich are stored in a library.
The problem is as follows: when one of the owners change the contents or adds content to one of the files, the other owners can't view in the file what's been added.
The files are always being checked in when an owner has finished adding content.
Also every owner has the same permissions.
Has anyone already had this problem?
Kind regards
Wim

Hi Wim,
I think you have misunderstanding Michaelle's attention. there is no workflow related to Approve/Reject.
Go to Library Settings->Version settings->Choose "Require content approval for submitted items?"
Then after you publish a major version of the document, you also need to approve the document to make it approved.

Are operating files only within Windows (C:) or are Word and Excel files ok in Documents and (C:) folders in 8.1?

A Microsoft tech said "oh-oh" when he saw Word and Excel files, and I think other files, in Windows (C:). He said only operating files should be in that folder or a user might delete an operating file by mistake. I have Word and Excel files in
both (C:) and Documents folders. There is some overlap but there are different files in each. When I open a Word file it defaults to (C:) not Documents. Sometimes default location is SkyDrive. So unpredictability is my experience. The questions are what is
correct default and how to make it so.
Microsoft store in San Diego transferred files from old computer to new one and this default is how the computer was set up.

Hi, Tyro.
What a mess. Usually system files in the Windows folder are protected from being deleted by users, but not all of them.
Here are some ideas:
Go back to the Microsoft store and tell them to fix it. They caused it, it was their mistake, they are responsible to fix it.
If that is not possible because they are too far away... find another Microsoft Store if possible and have them fix it.
Last resort: If it was me, I'd just back up all the files that I care about onto my SkyDrive (now OneDrive) account or a reliable thumb drive. Then do a factory re-image. Maybe back up the files and make the MS store do it. If I had purchased Office
2013 (it sounds like you have Office 2013), then I would have them reinstall that as well.
Keep the store involved because it is their fault.
At least call the MS store in San Diego and ask them what they suggest. Put them on the spot. They are the ones that screwed up and are responsible for the copying process.
Good luck!
Best wishes, Davin Mickelson

I started to download Maverick but then read that Word and Excel do not work with Maverick. I hit pause on the download. How do I stop the download. In non technical terms please!

How do I stop the download of Maverick on my MacBookPro? I started downloading then discovered that 2008 Word and Excel do not work with Maverick. I have too many files in the 2008 version to upgrade them at this time. I just need instructions in non technical terms to stop the Maverick download.

I did the same as Tapmr and have paused the "upgrade". So am I to understand that the upgrade only downloads and will not automatically install it? I am an extreme novice here, and cannot afford any issues after I upgrade/download. I don't know how to make a clone copy as you suggested either.
I need assurance that if the upgrade is allowed to continue that I will be able to delete the upgrade downloaded and continue on as before with my regular system.

My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them (or download and open them) from an email. I do I get this to stop? It's really aggravating.

My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them from an email. Downloading them and opening them doesn't help. How do I make this stop? I don't use iLife and don't want to; my clients are using Office and it's easier for me, except when I have to copy and paste everything they send me from an iLife file back to Word and Excel. Help!!! It's like Apple has become Microsoft, forcing us to use their apps.

Do you have Word & Excel installed, if yes, navigate in the finder to an example of each, right click and select 'Get Info' scroll down to 'Open With' and select the appropriate program, check the box that says 'Change All'

When converting a word microsoft word document to PDF Acrobat converts words, tables, everything but the graphs in the document. It will not convert the graphs it leaves that area blank.

This is very confusing; what actually coverted the document - Word, Acrobat, or CreatePDF (now renamed to "Adobe PDF Pack") ?
Either way it's not an Adobe Reader problem;

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

When I convert to word or excel it mentions saved to my online account.

When I convert to word or excel it mentions saved to my online account. I do not remember having an online account. Do I have stored documents? How do I fine out?

I use the ExportPDF online service. I didn't know there was any other method. When I opened up to reply to your question I noticed a link on the right that explained where to located the stored files that I have converted. I don't really need to store converted files. Can I export files without storing them?
