Why can´t I save a Word Document into a PDF File?

I used to write a document in word and then save it as a PDF, now I can´t why? Please give me a clue
Antonio Portilla

Make sure you are using Acrobat and not the free Adobe Reader
If Acrobat is installed, but Word does not include the PDF addons, then run a reinstall/repair of word

  • When I save a Word document as a PDF file and open it, some of the boxes around the text don't show

    Hello,
    I currently have Abobe Reader X (10.1.2) on Windows 7 and I need to save a Word document currently in A3 as a PDF file to print in A4. For some documents I have no problem printing and all of the text, images, boxes, lines etc. all show up no problem, except for 2 documents where there is a problem. The document fits onto the screen perfectly.
    Please help! Thanks

    Reader is unable to create PDF files. You must be using some other product, and therefore should post your question in that product's forums.

  • In acrobat 9 why can it never create a word document from a pdf correctly?

    So I have acrobat 9 and because I have lots of issues with editing PDFs in it I occasionally need to convert the pdf into a word to help with the editing.  However it never even comes remotely close to converting it correctly. I mean it is not even close.  and the PDF are very simple, no graphs no pics just text. Very frustrating/.

    GIGO.
    If the PDF's "under the hood" build is good then good stuff is exported.
    If the PDF's "under the hood" build is garbage then garbage is exported.
    Using a PDF creation process that actually has full compliance with the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1) is a prerequisite for "Good stuff In".
    Some (but not most) PDF producers do this. Adobe's "do it".
    As well if such a PDF is a well-formed Tagged PDF then export is pleasingly good.
    The design function of "Tagged" PDF is two-fold.
    (1) Support Accessible PDF
    (2) Support export of PDF page content.
    Such export can be achieved by Acrobat 8 Pro, Acrobat 3D, Acrobat 9 Pro, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, Acrobat X Pro and Acrobat XI Pro.
    Have done it / do it with these.
    Not meaning to be unpleasant here but the problem is with the PDF you have and not Acrobat.
    Be well...

  • Why can't i open a word document on my pad

    why can't i open a word document on my pad?  I used to be able to but now I can't.  Is there a setting that I can change?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • I have an iMac(mid2010) running Pages v5.5.1 on OS X 10.10. Why can I not save or share documents. The error message is You can't save the file "TEST.pages" because the volume is read only.

    I have an iMac(mid2010) running Pages v5.5.1 on OS X 10.10. Why can I not save or share documents. The error message is You can’t save the file “TEST.pages” because the volume is read only.
    I get the same message when using Numbers so I presume it is a OS problem

    Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site

    How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
    site with Dreamweaver 4?. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

    First you need to install a means of printing to pdf from word.  I like cutepdf writer ( http://cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp ).  Once installed you will print the doc in word and under the printer selection you choose pdf.
    Once you have the file you put it in your local site folders and upload it using Dreamweaver.  Be sure to link to it from a page so users can get to it and I would recommend giving the link a target of _black so it will open in a new window (see the properties inspector in DW).

  • Hello! I would like to know the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader.

    Hello! I would like to know the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader. Do I have to pay for it or just sign up? Thank you in advance.

    "...the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader." 
    Not possible.
    No version of Adobe Reader can:
    --| create PDF 
    --| manipulate PDF page content  
    --| export PDF page content
    Adobe Reader XI does provide a "connection" to various Adobe hosted online subscription services (that are under "acrobat.com").
    There is a subscription services can create PDF from supported file formats that are uploaded to the service.
    This subscription service is "PDF Pack".
    With an active (paid up) subscription to a service one can make use of the service.
