Why won't my word document converted to PDF save?

When in word, I select the option to convert to PDF, the document is scanned and I'm prompted to save as PDF. All seems to work except it doesn't actually save! This was working previously until an update a few months ago. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

First, have you removed from Printer Utility the Adobe PDFPrinter 9.x fom the list then close Printer Utility.
Then open Acrobat or Adobe Reader and go to help menu and choose to repair or rplace. Choose to replace the PDFPrinter only.
(One thing that we can't seem to get Aodobe to fix is that (at least in X.4.11 and I've heard some folks using X.5.x talk about.
When you go to page setup in Acrobat you can not select any Printer what so ever.
Does not even pickup choices in the Print/Fax Control panel in system preferences.
However you can choose it in the Print menu.
IF you decided to install Reader, you may or may not be able to set printer in Page setup.
However, if you can set up in Reader's page setup. It will show up in Acrobat's.
Its an obvious bug Adobe refuses to admit or can't fix. I've heard some say they've heard the problem but never seen it.)
Next, open Word 2008 or 2004 (don't remove 2004 it has far more features than 2008)
create your Document.
Save a copy as DOC or DOCX document first.
Now go to Print menu and choose Acrobat PDFPrinter 9.x(x being the most current revision).
and choose Print. with the version 9.x  the pdf will automatically be set to desktop and you have no choice where it save.
All versions previous to 9.0 a window would come up giving you a chance to choose the dsired location.
9.0 does not. THis is a super major bug, that only a rank amature would committ.
One thing Apple has preached fro day one; do not save any file you want to keep to the desktop.
The desktop is a Temporary file. and in event of a crash the desktop is rebuilt and the file may go missing.
Items such a Yahoo widgets get by, by using a special Database that tells where each widget is supposed to go, and and in event of  crash simply recreates them.

  • Word documents converted from pdf not legible

    How do I convert a pdf document to a word document that is legible and in the same table format?

    Sounds like you are using one of the online services, like the cloud. This forum is for the stand-alone Acrobat and I have no clue. The cloud or related forum should provide better info.

  • How to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page

    how to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
    Need to setup a set of word documents, converted to PDF that has links from one file to a second file at a given page.
    I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
    Is there a way to setup a link in word and the conversion to pdf that will result in a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type  you get when you add a link of the type Go to a page in another document?
    Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
    Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
    Open second document and go to page
    Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
    Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
    Go to a page in another document
    File: C:\My Documents\second file.pdf
    Page: 43
    Zoom level: Custom
    I got close but did not solve the problem:
    I have a version that uses links to a website, using #page=43 at the end of the hyperlink.
    That works but will only open to the page if is through the web browser, opening the acrobat reader plugin.
    I need to open from a folder on the local harddisk (with relative links), in acrobat pro to the given page of the pdf, on a PC or a Mac.
    I could bookmark each page “pagenumberxxx” and jump to the bookmark/page if that would get around some problem
    Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
    Windows XP SP3
    Word 2003 SP3
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
    Or just to view them:
    Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
    (note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)
    John

    No.  There seems to be no automated way to do it.  You can of course go into the PDF and manually add links after you have converted to PDF, but that is what we want to avoid having to do.  We want it to be automatic from the Word doc.

  • Convert Multiple Word Documents to Multiple PDFs

    Hi, I'm looking for a way to convert multiple word documents into PDF files. I'm running Adobe Acrobat 3D Version 8.1.2. It seems as if going to Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing and then using the Print All sequence will allow this to happen, but when I have selected the word documents I want to turn into PDFs, after I click "Run Sequence" I get a message in the progress window saying "Starting the application in which the file was created..." then Acrobat shuts down and nothing happens. Does anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening?
    Thanks!

    Hi "jhaystead",
    Apologies for making an incorrect suggestion. "Batch Conversion" is a feature in Acrobat 9 and above.
    I'd suggest you use the "Open All" sequence > Double-click it to EDIT > For "2. Run Command On:" choose "Selected Folder" and BROWSE to the input folder. Similarly for "3. Select Output Location", you can choose "Same Folder as Original(s)", click OK and then "Run Sequence".
    This would invoke the PDFMaker for conversion of Word documents to PDF and save the output PDF(s) at the folder mentioned, instead of printing and prompting to save the output each time Adobe PDF Printer is called.
    Plus, could you please check if the Adobe PDF toolbar/menu options are there in Word and working fine?
    When you said,
    "The only way I can get PDFs produced is to manually open each word document, then save it as a PDF. I haven't had any luck with multiple PDF creation." Were you printing the Word documents to Adobe PDF Printer or using the PDFMaker options?
    Thanks!

  • 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).

  • Convert a word document to multiple PDF documents

    Hello
    I would like to convert a word document to multiple PDF documents. (i.e. convert 20 page word document into 20 single page PDF's). Is it possible to do this easliy and quickly.
    I have used word mail merge to create multiple cover letters in word
    I would now like to convert each cover letter (which is 1 page each) into individialized PDF's so that I can email them out as attachments
    I currently have been copying and pasting from my master word document into a fresh word document (one page at a time) then, saving, then converting to PDF one cover letter at a time. Although this works it is time consuming and I figured there may be an easier quicker way to do this
    Any thoughts, suggesstions, would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    It is possible to convert the word document into a PDF then while the PDF is open do:
    Document
    Extract Pages
    1-20
    Check "Extract pages as seperate files"
    This will give you 20 seperate files.
    Hope it helps!

    why do all my word documents open when I open word

    You may have to compare user permissions and privileges in documents to see if there is a presence of odd permissions in the Get Info box available by single-clicking a document's ICON and see this area in each.
    How was the application installed? Are you running an Admin account? Have you repaired disk permissions in Disk Utility, or any other routine steps to see what happens next?
    There may even be a Console log of events that happen when you open and launch a document stream involving this Word phenomena, in Console utility, on or about the time these events occur. The logs can be amazingly complex, and vary in helpfulness. I use some of them to see what happens and when, or if there is a crash, some can point to hardware vs software sources of problems. Some resident experts in ASC are fairly good at knowing what they mean or how to decipher the system logs from there.
    Not sure of the exact cause...

    Hi kemtnilion,
    What did you get a trial of? Adobe doesn't offer free trials of the Acrobat.com online services; did you get a free trial of Acrobat, perhaps? If so, you can save a PDF directly to Word from Acrobat, by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

    Hi bobbij,
    I'm sorry to hear there was a holdup with your order. Have you been able to access your subscription yet? If not, and you're on a time crunch, you could get the job down with Acrobat. You can download a free 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
