Word 2007 Acrobat 8.1.4 - Convert URLs not clickable

All,
Using the above versions.
In word Acrobat>Create PDF. Using Standard preset. Can't find 'ebook preset', even though copied all from extras folder...is it known by an another name?
Word doc has urls to websites on the www. They all work in Word doc.
Some in the following format http://www.******** others "word" . The word is a clickable link to the internet
There seems to be no rhyme or reason, yet not all urls are clickable.
I can print to pdf, the same document and different links are unclickable.
I'm reaching the end here. I upgraded to Acrobat for this reason. I was using a free pdf printer.
What am I missing?

OK.
Cracked it. I hope this saves you some time.
The issues all seem to stem from Word 2007.
Things to get urls working seem to be as follows :
all links in word can't have a trailing /
http://www.subliminal-power.co.uk/ - NO
http://www.subliminal-power.co.uk - YES
When you add a url, each url must have a Screen Tip. You should have this anyway if you're sharing your word doc. It is all for the visually impared and audio I believe.
You have to use tables and not word art for boxes.
Happy Days

Combine supported files... problem (Word 2007, Acrobat 9, Windows 7)

Windows 7; Word 2007; Acrobat Pro 9
Print > Adobe PDF within Word produces pdf file that faithfully reproduces the Word file (that is, this process works as expected).
RClick context menu 'Combine supported files in Acrobat' produces output characterized by incorrect letter spacing and incorrect typeface (font) output among other issues.
Various possible resolutions have been tried with no success (PDFMaker option changes, output resolution (dpi) changes and so forth).
The same results are obtained when using the combine feature from within Acrobat Pro.
Thanks for any and all help.

Footnotes in tables were the problem with my doc as well. I tried the option of saving the doc as a Word 2003 file, but it didn't help. I chatted with Adobe Customer Service and was provided this fix:
In Word 2007, click on the Acrobat ribbon
In the "Create Adobe PDF" panel, click on "Preferences"
In the "Settings" tab, under "Application Settings," UNCHECK the box next to "Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF"
After that, I was able to create the PDF, and the table of contents and external hyperlinks all worked. The footnotes were no longer hyperlinked, but since they're on the same page as the items they're referencing, that's not really a problem. Cheers,

Problem convert word 2007 acrobat 8 graphics to pdf

Having difficulty converting certain graphics from Word on Windows 7 Professional PC to Adobe PDF.
The same problem exists on the same PC regardless of whether Word 2007 or Word 365 is the originating software. So it is not a problem with the version of Word being used as some blogs have suggested.
Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.4 is installed, and Adobe 8 Distiller is configured according to the settings required.
PDF is created by using Word: File > Print > Adobe PDF Maker

OK.
Cracked it. I hope this saves you some time.

Word 2007 Acrobat 9 CRASHES

Large document in DOCX format, 490 pages, starts to convert, then after three progress bars, Word goes to a solid 50% of CPU and everything stops.
I did not pay $300 to have this happen with the first stinking document I am working on.

Word 2007 - Acrobat : filename with periods (.)

Just a quick question : since we upgraded to Office 2007, one of my users complains that when he converts his Word documents to PDF (through the virtual printer in Word), the filename is automatically cut, it stops at the first period (.) which could be in the middle of the filename, which wasn't the case previously with Office 2003 (same Acrobat Pro 9.0 included in CS4).
Is there any way to change this behaviour ?

Word 2007 & Acrobat 9: Macro to generate PDF

I'm trying to create a Word 2007 macro which does some checks on a document (for example, refreshes all fields and checks for broken x-refs by searching for the text "Error!") before PDFing it.
Does anyone know what Microsoft VBA will perform the same task performed by clicking the Acrobat-->Create PDF option?
Also, if anyone know of any similar macros that perform error-checking on Word document, please let me know,
Thanks,
P.

Word 2007 Acrobat X Pro Plugin adds garbage to PDF Headers

I'm generating PDFs from Word 2007 using the Acrobat X Pro plugin, which is inserting garbage into some of my headers during the process. I can actually see it happen during PDF generation. The Word headers and footers are enabled and the garbage suddenly appears. For some reason, its usually an 0B prefix attached to the headers.
It doesn't happen to all headers and not with any pattern or consistency.
Any ideas?

Thanks, Steve. It's just aggravating that I have to go through an extra set of steps to do this on a Mac.
I appreciate the help!

Acrobat Pro 9.1 no longer creates PDFs from Word 2007

I upgraded from Acrobat 7 to 9 specifically to gain more control over settings when making PDFs from Word 2007. This worked as I had hoped until the 9.1 vulnerability upgrade was installed. Now it will no longer create PDFs from Word 2007 documents at all.
From within Word 2007, when I click on "Create PDF" (whether in the Office menu or Acrobat toolbar) it asks for a file name, but after I click "Save" does nothing. This is true even for the simplest possible document, using the "Default" settings for PDF "Preferences."
If I right click the file name of the document in Windows Explorer, with Word 2007 closed, and click on "Convert to Adobe PDF" in the menu, it starts and the staus box comes up, but after a few seconds quits and displays "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable produce the Adobe PDF."
I can still "Save As" PDF in Word 2007, but this gives me little control over the format.
Is there any way that I can get Acobat 9.1 to do what I bought it for, and what Adobe advertises it will do?

Try printing to the Adobe PDF printer, the more fundamental process (PDF Maker is a preprocessor for the printer). If that does not work, then try with print-to-file selected. Open the file in Distiller and see if the PDF is created. If the latter happens, then check for AcroTray running in the background. It is required to automate the process and is needed by PDF Maker.

Converting Word 2007 Styles to PDF

I just upgraded to word 2007. I don't have the PDF Maker for word installed (where you see the Acrobat option on the toolbar in word), and not sure it will install with 2007. So the first question is: Does it? Second question. If you can install PDF Maker with Word 2007, How do you go about doing it? Reinstall Acrobat? (note: I have acrobat 8 professional) And finally the third question is: if PDF Maker can't be installed to work with Word 2007, how do you automatically convert word 2007 Styles into PDF bookmarks. I'd rather not have to recreate them all after creating the PDF.
Thanks in advance.
Rob

Aha! That was the missing piece. After the 8.1.2 update, I now see the Acrobat toolbar in word. All set! I was freaking out when I didn't see the toolbar, but did see the acrobat macro in word. Phew.
Thanks for your help!

Adobe Acrobat v8.1.2 - PDFMaker COM Add-in not loading in Word 2007

PDFMaker COM Add-in is now not loading in Word 2007 at startup. But, it loads just fine for the rest of the Office 2007 apps. It loaded just fine, all operational, until 1-2 months ago. Now I have no access to Acrobat in Word 2007 except for print to that printer. There are now no buttons on the ribbon for direct access to Adobe Acrobat functions as there used to be. When I look in the COM add-ins area of Word 2007, it tells me PDF Maker is not loaded and that I cannot change the connected state of Office Add-ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the Regedit.
Am running MS Office 2007 SP-1 on Vista SP-1 x82. This behavior was going on before the recent SP-1's were installed, so pre-existing condition. Everything else is performing quite well. REALLY! I am very pleased with Vista.
Guidance, help, etc is most appreciated. THANKS!!!

I had the same issue. The COM Add-In for PDFMaker was disabled by Word 2007 due to an unexpected crash during the creation of a PDF. I have searched all over the place trying to find a way to get the PDFMaker functionality active again in Word 2007 including the solutions mentioned in this post. In the end I found a solution myself.
1. Go to Word Options > Add-ins
2. Go to the Manage drop down dialog at the bottom of the page and select Disabled Items. Click Go.
3. A dialog will open that displays all the disabled add-ins. Select Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin.
4. Click the Enable button.
5. Close and reopen MS Word and the Acrobat menu should be available again.

Conversion of Word 2007 Docs to PDF

I am using Word 2007 & Acrobat 9 Pro. I am attempting to convert a chinese document into a PDF file within Word 2007. After conversion, many of the chinese characters are missing and replaced with an empty box. Why? What can I do to correct this. Printing to Adobe captures all of the chinese characters but does not capture the bottom border. HELP!!!!

Bill Thanks...
The issued turned out that doing formatting and inserting pictures in the Word 2007 document, that the font changed from Sim Sun (Asian) to Times New Roman. However, the screen did not look any different and I did not notice the change. (Microsoft, please explain this phenomonem!!)Changing the font back to the Sim Sun that was already installed in Word 2007 solved the problem.

Validate for Outlook 2007 (Word 2007) on Mac

Hi, we are creating HTML email campaigns here that we want to be as compliant as possible across all email clients. I've learned a great deal about properly coding the HTML files so that they break down as gracefully as possible (inline styles only, tables, etc, etc). The files hold up pretty well across all major clients, including Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, Outlook 2003 or older, Mac Mail, etc.
AND THEN THERE'S OUTLOOK 2007...
So Outlook 2007 pretty much destroys my 'almost' completely compliant HTML.
- So I've seen there is a validator for Outlook 2007 and Dreamweaver, but it appears to be PC only. Are there any plugins or similar ways to quickly validate your HTML against Outlook 2007 (which uses the lovely Word 2007 engine) if on a Mac???
Thanks. We have Dreamweaver CS3 here on our Macs. We do have one token PC in the office, but it does not have Dreamweaver (or any Web editor) installed on it. So the Microsoft validator won't really help us here.
- Any other sites or tips to figure out some of the major issues in coding for Outlook 2007???
THANKS. Microsoft once again is enduring itself to designers everywhere...

Hi, thanks for the tips!
I ended up digging up an installation of Studio 8 that I was able to load onto our PC. So I was able to get the Word 2007 validator working, but it's really not very helpful here. It told me a couple things weren't valid, such as 'text-transform', which actually DO work. And then some things that are not working at all it doesn't mention (such as my side-column 'borders' that have fixed-width DIVs in them, but totally collapse)!!! Frustrating when I'm trying to figure out workarounds.
And I did check out the articles, thanks. The Email-Marketing reports basically spells out the problem in general terms, I think I need some more specific issues/workarounds. And the Microsoft article is helpful, just a bit hard to decipher (core, core extended, full).
I'll keep digging, or any other resources would be GREATLY appreciated.
And, in case anyone knows these tricks, I'll post my biggest issues as this emailer was supposed to go out this morning:
- Background images totally gone, no workarounds??? This was a decent part of the design, but we'll include a background color on the table cell as a backup.
- I was using DIVs with a 'width: 20px' to define the width of my side columns (inserted into the empty TDs), which are basically just empty white side margins. It looks like 'width' is not supported. How can I 'prop' these columns open best? I don't want to use spacer gifs, as these can sometimes be picked up as spam.
- Any tips for getting the margins & padding around type more consistent? I have large type that breaks onto 3 lines, and is using a pretty large 'line-height'. It looks like this line-height is added to the top margin pushing the type way down. Looks fine in all other email clients.
THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!
PS - we do use MailChimp for some of our clients, and could get an account for ourselves. But I think the only way they would help us is if we used their templates. We're designing these pretty custom from scratch (though they are pretty basic).

Converted MS Word 2007 to Adobe Acrobat 9 random "Bad Parameter" Error

Question: I Converted MS Word 2007 file which contained 892 pages into Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard afterwards and while needing to update only certain pages I receive the "Bad Parameter" Error. My process is using drop down Document/Extract pages(make my updates)/Replace pages into complete PDF file/ usually with no problem then towards the last pages of the PDF the Error showed up! I believe that it’s possible, the conversion initially may have allowed many tags to be written correctly but some are corrupted. It could be a buffer-overflow failsafe that is having an adverse effect against the two programs because of the file’s size? I have seen some good advice come from many people on this site like "Bill@VT" and "CtDave" and others so I am humbly requesting assistance? Some additional background information is I have to keep the file size the same and I cannot print to PDF file from Word due to a specific format I must keep and most of the PDF is not corrupt: meaning receiving the "Error". I would like to know if the error that seems to be due to the conversion process can be corrected. I have provided some additional similar post below from other customers that may be useful as reference material? R/ Thanks in advance!
“Like 10 others, I get a "bad parameter" pop-up window when I try to delete 1 or more pages from a PDF created from Adobe 8 Pro from Microsoft Word 2007. Of the 3 computers we have tried to delete the pages, we are running Windows XP and Office 2007 on all. But 1 computer has Adobe 7 Pro, one has Adobe 8 Pro, and the 3rd has Adobe 9 Pro. None are able to delete or extract the pages -- we get the bad parameter error each time we try. The PDF has 260 pages and occupies 5.7 MB memory. What additional information can I provide to get a resolution to this problem? Thanks!” “Civilengr10” (posted Aug 17, 2010)
“I am taking adobe files from a database, saving them, and then making changes to them by inserting (from other adobe files from the same database) or deleting pages. Very basic stuff! However, sometimes when I want to insert pages, it will insert them but then say "bad parameter". After that point, I cannot delete any pages. It will give me the "bad parameter" error again and not delete. I have reduced the file size, ran "Examine Document" and removed whatever it wanted me to, and whenever I save a file, I do Save As...instead of Save! Also, under preferences > security I have the "Verify signatures when the document is opened" unchecked. None of these recommendations that I have read elsewhere work. Can someone offer me some guidance? I am working on the files locally. I save the files from the database unto my own folder on the computer. The thing is, some of the files I download from the database are fine and do not give me any error, but others do. Do you know how I can fix the files that are corrupted from the database?” “hoda64” (posted July 22, 2009)
“Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9
I have a Word 2007 DOC (not docx) file with pictures and text which converted perfectly with Distiller 8. I installed CS4 Distiller 9, and now the same DOC file flows over onto several extra pages. I am using the default settings. Any idea what has changed? Thanks in advance. “Petrula” (posted Nov 29, 2002) “First, select the Adobe PDF printer in WORD. Then go through the document to check for the flow of the document. It should print the same as you see in the document after the printer has been selected.”

For the replace and delete pages, I can only guess that you are messing up some of the bookmarks or links in the page from what I think you have based on the description. I would work on copies between each stage so that you can at least go back to the last success stage. If possible, you are better to go back and do the modifications in the original page and the recreate the PDF. If that is not possible, then maybe a better explanation of how you are creating the PDF would help folks understand your process fully and suggest a solution.
On the latter, I would do a repair on Acrobat. However, it may be in the process you are using in the conversion from WORD. How are you creating the PDF from WORD? Have you updated AA9 and not simply have 9.0? The confusing point is that you talk about Distiller for getting the PDF from WORD. Distiller is often involved, but only behind the scenes and normally you either print to the Adobe PDF printer, use PDF Maker, or use the MS plugin for PDF creation. So when stating Distiller, it is unclear what process you are using since none of the methods I mention state the use of Distiller even if it is used in the background.

Converting from Word 2007 to PDF (Acrobat 8.0) footers formatting problems

As the title describes, when I convert to pdf the text in my footers is changed. In Word, the footer simply has a link back to the bookmarks. The text is as so:
Click here go to back to the Table of Contents (with the Table of Contents text the actual link)
When I go ahead and convert to PDF, the font color is changed and only a couple words are underlined. In addition the last four words get placed three lines below the other words.
Any ideas on fixing this? I have not yet patched due to not have admin priv, but am working with our IT guy to update.

Be sure that WORD gets patched too. Often these problems turn out to be OFFICE issues. You might try a sample print to paper to see the issue. Also, AA is at 8.1.6.
There have been several problems folks have had with WORD 2007. The updates help some, but it is almost as though MS put some hooks in WORD 2007 to cross up Acrobat in some cases. I have run PPT documents with earlier versions of WORD and Acrobat with no problem. WORD 2007 would produce a totally different result that was not expected. There are even differences in graphics that you put in a DOC file versus a DOCX file. The latter seems to be doing some strange things to graphics. I would tell you more, but I really try to stay away from WORD unless I need it for compatibility with others.

Acrobat X 10.02 crashes when converting Word 2007 document wiht linked Visio file.

Acrobat X 10.02 crashes when converting Word 2007 document with linked Visio file and causes a C++ runtime error in Word and crashes Word.
To see the behavior create a short Word 2007 document with a linked Visio file (e.g., create a Visio file with one box and text and insert it as a link into a Word docx).
No problem in Acrobat 9

There may be some of an issue with AA X on this, but part of the blame probably goes to MS also. I would suggest you simply clip the graphic from VISIO as a vector graphic (EMF will be used by default) and not do the link and do not embed the VISIO object. The linking and use of embedded objects in WORD 2007 seems to have been a major problem and is mostly a MS issue.
