Why does my Pdf convert into hieroglyphs in Word?

Is it perhaps encrypted?

Maybe you can give us some more details.
Are you opening a pdf in Word? If so, are you doing it intentionally or are they just opening in Word when you double click.
Or, are you exporting a pdf to a Word document and that Word document is messed up?
More info you supply the better.

Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows Word Program. I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.

Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows Word Program. I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.

Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...

Why does my PDF come out rotated when I haven't selected that?

Why does my PDF come out rotated when I haven't selected that?

What you are trying to do is a process that we call “refrying a PDF file,” a process that we at Adobe most strongly discourage. There are facilities within Acrobat itself that allow you to remove objects and crop pages without having to ruin the PDF by creating PostScript and then distilling that back into PDF, a potentially very lossy process. You lose all color management, all live transparency, and could have font problems in the resultant PDF file.
The Adobe PDF PostScript Printer Driver Instance is parameterized by joboptions set in its properties. These properties have a parameter for page rotation. If the options specify automatic page rotation, you may be getting these unexpected results on the basis of Distiller's analysis of each page and trying to second guess the orientation. You should also be aware that the PostScript generated by Acrobat (and Reader) is optimized for printing on a PostScript device, not for generation of PDF by distillation.

Every pdf file in my laptop has been converted into an unreadable Word file. Help!

Every pdf file in my laptop has been converted into an unreadable Word file.
This happened while I was trying to convert a large pdf file to Word using Adobe export pdf, which I purchased recently. When I try to export a large pdf file, I get a message "An error occurred while trying to access the service."
The inability to convert a file from pdf to Word is an annoyance after I spent $19.95 for export pdf. But the making of all my pdf files unreadable is a disaster.

I suspect that isn't connected. Start Adobe Reader, use File > Open for these PDFs. Do they open? (I suspect it's just double clicking that does it, which isn't the only way or best way to open files).

Why does the iPhone convert animated .GIF images?

I saved a bunch of animated .GIF files on my iPhone.
When I imported them onto my computer, they were all single framed .JPG files.
Why does the iPhone convert the images, and is there any way to prevent this?
Thanks!

you can play gif in webView ,just the same way you load a jpeg or png..
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"santa" ofType:@"gif"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];
/* Load the request. */
[myWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
the gif that is locally saved will be loaded.

When converting word to pdf, why does it pdf each page?

I have a 3 page word document. When I convert it to pdf, it converts each page & not the whole document. Why does it do that & how can i convert all 3 pages to pdf?

Empty the TEMP folder or print to the Adobe PDF printer. The latter might be worth trying to be sure things are working.
You may have to uncheck a lot of the options in the PDF Maker preferences, particularly tags. Keep in mind that large graphics require a lot of disk space in the translation as the PS format is not very memory efficient for graphics (at least from what I have seen). You might also make a copy of the DOC file and then select a graphic and choose format. In the lower left corner of the general tab is a compress button. Try that to reduce the graphics resolution and see if that solves the problem.

Why does Edge Animate convert circles and rounded corners into "classic" rectangles?

Hello Community!
When creating animations with circles or rounded corners in it, I came across with something strange.
I published it as .oam-file for Adobe DPS and the circles and rounded corners where converted into rectangles.
Does anybody know a solution?
Thank you in advance!

Hey broekt,
If you're using the Desktop Viewer ot preview your AN content, some stuff (such as rounded rectangles) isn't supported in their version of Webkit. For true rendering make sure to always test on your iPad

Why does my MAC convert the folders in USB into .lnk? Can´t open them

I don´t know why my MAC now convert all the folders in my USB into .lnk
I can´t open them.
Need help!

I have the same problem, two of my external hard drives have been infected by the shortcut virus.
It's time and would be helpful if someone from Apple took the time to solve this question.
I'm wondering if all my Time Machine Backups are also going to be infected by the virus.
Who cares if its of PC or Mac origin: it's affecting Mac related material!
I cant open the films that I edited on Mac (using avid mc).
So far, the only link I've found to remove the malware using a Mac is this one:

Why does my PDF look so CRAPPY when I print through acrobat???

I have been having troubles with exporting a PDF from an Indesign file.. when I printed the exported PDF from acrobat, text was printing out very pixelated. I was exporting the file in indesign as a press quality pdf. The text looked fine when I viewed it in acrobat and zoomed in, but when I printed it out it looked very pixelated and not as black as it had when I had printed the file directly from indesign.
so this is what I've figured it out so far... I was exporting to PDF in indesign then opening it in adobe arobat pro and printing from there... for some reason when I went into my advanced print settings in acrobat, it was set to "print as image: 100 dpi." I changed it and it printed out better but not perfect. To double check it was adobe that was causing the issue, I opened and printed the pdf through mac preview. This looked perfect - - exactly like it did when I printed through INDD.
So my questions are, 1> WHY does it automatically printing as an image 100 dpi in adobe? and 2> how can I change this setting so when my client opens it up, they dont have to mess with any of the print settings to get it to look how it's supposed to? Is this a setting I can change when I save the file? I want to make sure it prints out correctly because one of the fonts used is ultralight and can look very very light if printed incorrecty. It looks perfect when I print through preview, but even printing as an image in 600 dpi through acrobat pro, the ultralight font looks lighter and more faded than it should (and than it does in the preview and INDD printed files). If i unselect the "print as image" checkbox, the ultralight text looks better but still not perfect. So that would make my second question >> WHY is the print quality worse when I print through adobe, and how can I remedy this? Any ideas??? Any help much appreciated!
**using acrobat pro 9.4.6 on mac osx 10.6.8

The PDF file itself does not control the "print as image" preference, which should always be turned OFF unless there's a specific need to rasterize the entire page, and is turned off by default in all Acrobat and Adobe Reader installations.
What's the filetype for the ultralight font and what export setting* are you using in ID? If you're exporting to earlier than PDF1.7, OpenType fonts will be converted and may experience some small changes in shape if their hint definitions aren't done right.
*As a side note, bear in mind that InDesign does not use any part of Acrobat when exporting PDFs, so questions specific to that stage in the process should be posted to the InDesign forums.

BizGuru,
Somethings to consider.
--| In Windows - the OS needs a goodly space for 'elbow room' - you don't want to have HDD free space drop below something like 15%.
Say your HDD is 600GB, 60GB free space is leaving you 10%...
-| RAM - May not be enough; more is better <g>.
--| Virtual Memory - if in Windows, open up Task Manager. Look at all the "stuff" there. Most is not required by the OS.
Most of the listing is "stuff" associated with a full cart of processes associated with things you may not need or use but they suck up resources.
--| Graphics - Processing images into PDF can be resource intensive. Having a dedicated graphics card with enough ram makes a difference.
Be well...

PDF converted to a messy Word Doc, why is it so

I just purchased PDF converter and tried to convert pdf to a Word doc and half of the document was jumbled up, I restarted my computer and did it again and the same thing happened. Does anyone know why this is happening, there is no point having the converter if I have to make up a whole new document

Hi Sonia,
I'd like to assist!
Would you mind telling me more about your PDF? What type of document was it prior to becoming a PDF? Are there any graphics or pictures? Was it scanned?
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Kind regards, Stacy
