When exporting as Microsoft Word, headers and footers created incorrectly

Using Acrobat X, I converted a PDF file to Microsoft Word 2007 format. I selected "Flow Layout" because I'm writing automated software that reads Word documents and flow makes it easier to process. In case you're wondering, I don't read PDF directly simply because most of the documents my software reads is native Word. For the remaining PDF documents, translation to Word prevents me having to write software that reads both Word or PDF files.
Here's the issue:
With Flow layout, Acrobat attempts to determine Word headers and footers. Unfortunately, it does so incorrectly much of the time for many documents. In particular, lines near the top of the file are "pulled" into the header and lines near the bottom are "pulled" into the footer. In the following picture, look closely at the black vs. grey text. The grey text is in the headers and footers. Note also the green squiglies indicating grammer errors.
I either need this fixed, or an option to turn off header/footer recognition.

No problem:) The RC should come out early next week...

Missing data when exporting to "MS Word (*.doc)" and "RTF (*.rtf)"

Hello,
We are using CR XI R2 SP3 in our product. The reports that we generate (using ODBC dsn) show URLs from the database as hyper link text fields. When we export the report to "Microsoft Word (.doc)" or "Rich Text Format (.rtf)" format, even though the export operation succeeds, the report is missing data when it encounters a URL that looks like following. There is basically no data after that URL.
http://www.xyz.com/kType=t;s.linkName=n;s.t()};s.ssl=(s.wd.location.protocol.toLowerCa
And when it encounters a URL like following, MS Word complains that the file is invalid even though the export succeeds.
https://www.xyz.com/m));if(m%3E0&m!=e)if(parseInt(c.substring(m+1,e%3C0?c.length:e))%3Cd.get
If we export the report to pdf format, then everything works just fine.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Hi Sumit
Try to set the URL field with the RTF format. To do this try following:
1. Right click the field->Format Field.
2. Click the paragraph tab->Text Interpretation->RTF Text
Now try to export it.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Nikhil

Problems Aligning Text in Headers and Footers

I have tried to add headers and footers to documents and the alignment is wrong. The center footer/header should be center-aligned and the right header/footer should be right-aligned. Unfortunately, they are both left-aligned.
The preview shows the headers and footers aligned correctly, but when the headers/footers are inserted in the document, the alignment reverts to left aligned, although it is centered and on the right side of the page, as appropriate.
This is not a problem in Acrobat 7.
Please advise if this is a bug and is awaiting an update, or if there is something that I need to do to fix this problem.
This is a screen shot of the preview windowindicating the proper alignment as indicated in the ovals:
Here is the actual document once the header and footer are added. Notice how the alignment switches to flush left:
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks.

Nope. The good folks at Adobe have neither addressed this issue (and I have
heard from others that it is a problem for them as well) nor have they been
very good about maintaining my account to be able to log in and follow up on
it.
The truth of the matter is that it appears to be a glitch in some, but not
all, versions of this product and clearly it is not a big enough problem for
them to want to fix it.
I wind up using Acrobat 7 when I need properly formatted headers and footers
or and this ought to get the attention of the folks at Adobe and maybe
prompt someone (anyone!) to take a look and fix this glitch you should
check out PDFPen. It does much of what Adobe can do including headers and
footers.
If I didn't already have Acrobat 7 (and 8 and now 9), I would ditch Acrobat
and just use Preview or PDFPen.

Anybody ever solve this problem? I just started using(trying too, that is)
Acrobat Pro for writing letters and starting at the top I ran right into
this problem. Seems like a deal killer.

Pdf headers and footers again

I have windows 7 -64bit with Safari 5.03 on my work-pc.
When I try to Save As a .pdf files it won't, it shoes me only All Files in file type.
Also when I try to print the .pdf, it prints only headers and footers.
I have reinstalled adobe readers (suggested fix )several times, but it hasn't helped me. Any other ideas?

Depends on whether the PDF is tagged or not. If it's tagged, then those things would be artifacts and you could skip them. If it's not tagged, then you'll need to do the analysis yourself to make the determination.

Help needed - Headers and footers of subtemplates not working.

Hi,
I need to call 3 different subtemplates from the main template. Headers and footers of these subtemplates are differenet. When i call these subtemplates headers and footers is not getting displayed.
Can anyone please suggest how to display the headers and footers of subtemplates when called from another template.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Do you mean to call the headers and footers from the main template or in the sub template. I cant call in the main template because the headers and footers are different for each template. I used micrsosoft headers and footers in sub templates. But it didnt work. So created header and footer templates in the sub template and called them from the same sub templates using the call: statements. But when i run the prog am getting the below warning.
Beginning post-processing of request 35618954 on node DSOTEST6HE at 15-FEB-2010 03:37:41.

PDF headers and footers

Hi,
Trying to write a vocal reader for a PDF document, however, stuff that people would normally skip are being read by the reader (headers, footers, page numbers, footnotes, etc).
Anyone knows a way to programmatically recognize the type of the paragraph you are currently reading in a PDF file so the reader can skip those?
Thanks,
T.R.

Crystal Reports 2008 Missing Page Headers and Footers when Exporting Excel

After upgrading from Crystal Reports 9 to Crystal Reports 2008 we have noticed that when we export to Excel the document no longer retains the page headers and footers. After doing some reading I see that there is a property called ExportPageHeadersAndFooters that we can tap into. However, I am unable to get this to work for me. Below is my code, do you have any suggestions?
                ReportDocument rdReport = new ReportDocument();
                rdReport.Load(sReportFilePath);
                ExportFormatType exType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                // create an instance of excel formatting options
                ExcelFormatOptions foFormat = new ExcelFormatOptions();
                foFormat.UsePageRange = false;
                foFormat.ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = true;
                foFormat.ExcelTabHasColumnHeadings = true;
                foFormat.ExportPageBreaksForEachPage = true;
                foFormat.ExportPageHeadersAndFooters = ExportPageAreaKind.OnEachPage;
                // set up more exporting options
                rdReport.ExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                rdReport.ExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                rdReport.ExportOptions.FormatOptions = foFormat;
                rdReport.ExportToStream(exType);

I was able to get it to work but I had to do this.
ExportRequestContext expReqCntxt = new ExportRequestContext();
expReqCntxt.ExportInfo = rdReport.ExportOptions;
sExported = ((CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument)rdReport).FormatEngine.ExportToStream(expReqCntxt);

Exporting pdf does NOT show my headers and footers

I export number files to my administrators. I've noticed when I print my file directly from my computer in iWork/Numbers it prints and show the footer and header. However, when I send a bcc to myself when I attach the pdf file to my administrator, it does not show or print my headers and footers. Any ideas?

Re-reading the original question, it does appear that Gogoette is exporting to PDF then attaching the file to an email versus using the "Send via email as PDf" operation. In that case, setting it to Page View for the export will solve the problem. I had originally thought "Send via email as PDF" was being used. What I noticed is that it doesn't give you the choice of page versus sheet view but if you first go through the motions of exporting, it sets it up. In prior threads about exporting to PDF, we have all recommended using Print, not export, and choosing Print to PDF (rather than to a printer) as the best way to create a PDF. It gives more flexibility, such as allowing you to choose which pages to "print to PDF".

When upgrading from Abobe Acrobat Pro 9 to XI, is it possible to save Headers and Footers in documents?

I support a law firm that users headers and footers in their documents. They are upgrading from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to XI. when they did an install on one PC, the headers and footers in a PDF did not show and had to be recreated. Is there a way around that? I's appreciate any input.
Thanks!
Ed

This is a work around. Bring the pdf into Illustrator. Go to Select >Object>Text. In the attributes panel, deselect Overprint. In the Transparency panel, select Knockout Group. In the Appearance panel, check to make sure the black is not overprinting by clicking on the Character entry. If not, try clicking "Clear Appearance" (here I got a little lost.
Resave the pdf file. Your black text should now knock out. You may have to retrap, unless your RIP does that for you.
Hope this helps. (I had to keep trying to get it to work, but I finally did.

There's really no way to suppress headers and footers in Word output?

Says here that there's nothing you can do to suppress the headers and footers RoboHelp adds to Word / PDF output. Is that really true?

If Peter says it is true, it is. It is easily resolved though with some easy post production edits. Peter even gives you a process that he follows on that page.

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it because it is gibberish with all kinds of symbols and numbers. I understand it has something to do with Adobe Reader. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I correct it?

Put your cursor on the icon of one of your scanned documents. Click on the right button of your mouse. In the list that will appear, put your cursor on Properties and click on the left button of your mouse. In the window that you'll get, read and make a note of what you see next to "File type" and "Opens with". Then post here what you saw.
If you don't understand these instructions, please ask for more details.

When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Microsoft Word 2007 to open these documents?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a few weeks ago - I had tried to open some docuuments saved on a mac, my PC (which runs Windows 7), used word pad to open these, and this seems to have changed the default settings somehow.

you are responsible for reinstalling any apps. It is not Apples responsibility as outline the the service agreement. Do you have the product key?

I just updated to Lion and my Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint will not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I bought this software from Apple and the store installed it when I bought the MAC. What do I do?

Buy version 2011 of MS Office.
Or you can download OpenOffice, LibreOffice or NeoOffice, which all come very close to working with MS files just like MS Office does.
Or iWord, I have heard, you can purchase.

Is there a way to shut off headers and footers when printing to a pdf file?

Files designed to exactly fill a page become too large when headers and footers are added and spill over onto two pages. I can't find a way to change these settings. I am working on an Apple with OS 10.4.11

There is a switch at the left side of the iphone. Try flicking that. It should mute all sounds.
