Word 2007 "Save as Adobe PDF" - Pictures not showing up in PDF

Good Afternoon,
I have run into this error recently when using the "Save as Adobe PDF" to publish Word 2007 report.
Each report has an table - pasted from Excel 2007 "as a picture - when printed". The reports have a ton of other jpg pictures.
After creation, when I open the PDF, some of the tables appear to have become transparent. Where the picture used to be is a selection box, as if there were a picture there, but it's merely blank. All of the photos, frames, and Word-based tables show up. Some of the pasted-from-Excel tables also show up, not these ones.
Is there a reason for this discrepency? Is there a way to resolve the issue? I used the search bar and found nothing that matched my issue. All of my software is up to date.
Thank you for whatever help you can provide.

did you ever solve this issue? I have the same problem and "view large images" is the only answer I can find and it DOES NOT WORK.
I posted the question elsewhere, but nobody has replied. here's my situation:
When creating PDF documents from any software (Illustrator, Corel, InDesign, etc), color objects over 50% of the page size have white fill. If object has an outline, the outline will appear normally, but the fill will be white. I've searched forums everywhere and have found no answer. Most forum topics on this are issue focus on settings in the program that exported the PDF. I am 100% sure this is not an export problem, but is something in Acrobat itself (a missed setting? Corrupt program file?)
To provide the best information, I've done a little scientific research. Here is what I know:
Currently running Acrobat Pro 9.5.5
This is only happening on ONE install of Acrobat 9. Documents display correctly in Reader X and in Acrobat 9 on other machines.
Started happening a few weeks ago, I have no idea what changed.
"Show Large Images" in preferences dialog is checked. Unchecking it and rechecking it does nothing.
Have installed all available updates to the software
I experimented with different object sizes. At 50% of page size, objects appeared normal, at 51% filled object disappears.
Does not affect photos, only affects vector objects.
running this on Windows Vista 64 Bit

PDF pictures not showing

I've exported a keynote to pdf in order to share with people and so far have feedback from one windows user that some photo's are not showing for them whereas all is fine on my imac.
It turns out that keynote pic's that are masked are selectively not showing for this person- again, the exact same pdf file is fine for me. I went into the adobe reader settings for this person and the settings (default) are just like my adobe settings... no settings need changing that I can see (i.e. pictures turned off or such...
One other bit of info... the person sees a shadow or outline of where the masked photo would be... but the slide background is showing. And again the pdf looks just fine on my computer???
Any suggestions other than having to go thru my presentation and redoing photo's so no masking...
thanks
actually I'm doing a demo of keynote 09 maybe I'll try pdf for that to see if any different...

Hi Robert,
It is true Acrobat Pro can flatten layers. I just exported a Keynote file to PDF containing masked images and there was only one layer generated. Can you confirm you file has more than one layer? You can do this in Adobe reader with the View> Navigation Panels> Layers Menu item. Transparency is a separate issue.
Flattening layers and flattening transparency are two different things.
Flattening Layers makes 1 layer. Flattening transparency removes the alpha or transparency value assigned to objects by rendering the overall effect of multiple overlapping objects and blending modes into a single pixel-image like a tiff and replacing the objects (largely – sometimes line-work gets left) in the file. This is used in print world because high-end image image setters have no way to interpret transperency that illustration programs (and Keynote) can generate in there PDF files.
Which is a long way to saying if you save in a PDF format prior to transparency PDF 1.5 and below I think?? you'll get rid of transperency from your file. Thhere are also newer PDF/X standards used in print industry but I have no experience of them.
Print from Preview application to a PDF would probably flatten a file. I get options for various PDF formats in my print dialogues but you may not because I have additional software installed that may be generating them. Sounds like the update did the trick anywho.

Word 2007 save as adobe pdf bug?

When I try to save an MS Word .doc (or .docx) as an Adobe pdf (Acrobat 8 pro)the first time it runs (well, a bit, it flashes images etc.) but doesn't create the pdf.
I have to save again and the 2nd attempt creates the pdf.
Anyone else get this? Tried on 2 pcs (XP) - though different copies of Acrobat.

If you are missing the PDF option in MS Office 2007, you may
download a plug-in from MS to create a PDF without Acrobat, go
to the MS article search page and do a search, or go to the MS
Office update page and search for the file to download

General Acrobat Problem Steps
If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
Also install Acrobat updates - IN ORDER

Regarding printing PDF documents...It depends on the PDF document that you are trying to print. In general, it will take longer to print more complex and larger PDF documents.
If you are willing to share your PDF document (that takes forever to print) with us at [email protected], we can test it with the same version (11.6.3) of Adobe Reader on different iOS versions (iOS 7.x vs. iOS 8.x). Please include the link to this forum (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1616231) in your email message for reference.
Actual printing is handled by iOS (not by Adobe Reader) via AirPrint over Wi-Fi connection. We've heard from other users about iOS 8 Wi-Fi connectivity problems.

Windows 8 Adobe Reader will not fully open a pdf compiled with several pdf's into one - why?

Windows 8 Adobe Reader will not fully open a pdf compiled with several pdf's into one - why?

Hi Michael,
“AdbeRdr11003_en_US.exe” is the download installed on our CEO’s new Windows 8 laptop. It is a Dell XPS Re: Windows 8 Adobe Reader will not fully open a pdf compiled with several pdf's into one - why? Dell XPS 13" . It has a full install Windows 8 Professional for its’ Operating System.
I’ll attempt to attach the file in question. The file opens fine on our Windows 7, and XP computers (with the proper Adobe Reader on each).
Our CEO says there is a message that comes up saying he needs Adobe Flash. I’m attempting to find out whether or not he is trying to open it the ‘Metro’ view, or the ‘Desktop’ view – no answer yet.
If your system strips the attachment, let me know, and I’ll upload the file to an ftp site {if necessary}.

Why am I getting this error message......."Adobe Reader could not open 'SBA 413.pdf' because it is e

why am I getting this error message when I try to open a PDF file? Adobe Reader could not open 'SBA 413.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

It's difficult for anyone to say how to fix it. Try getting a new copy of it. Did you download it from a web site, as an email attachment, or something else?
I donwloaded that form from the SBA web site and it worked fine for me. It is an XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer, but those should work fine with the desktop versions of Adobe Reader. So try downloading it: http://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/SBA%20413_0.pdf

Adobe PDF Toolbar Not Showing In Firefox

I installed CS5 Master Collection in Windows 7 64 and Adobe PDF toolbar installed automatically in IE8 but not in Firefox latest version. Would somebody please tell me what to do to install in Firefox?
Thanks a lot!

Thank you for all the information. I'll upgrade to Acrobat X.

Adobe Reader if always free. Acrobat requires a purchase.
Also Acrobat X has different UI, there is usually a floating toolbar that can be used to open the full toolbar.

Saving as PDF -- Font not showing up

I'm running Illustrator CS2 on a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver, OSX 10.4.11. When I save my file as PDF, some of the type is not showing up in certain areas in the resulting PDF. Font is Helvetica Neue 67 Med Condensed. Odd thing is that the same font and weight is showing up in some spots but not others. Type is painted white against a dark blue background.
I have tried copying the text and making a PDF with just the text and it works fine.
I've tired saving to all different levels of PDFs. No luck.
I've tried turning type to outline and still type does not show in resulting PDF.
I've tried turning type to outline, saving as EPS and running thru Distiller. Still type does not show up.
Next thought is to rebuild the file, layer by layer to see where the glitch is.
Anybody out there run into this one?

You’re welcome. Illustrator won’t let you overprint process white. But if something was a different colour and is then changed to white, any overprint attributes remain. There is no warning except for a subtle icon in the Attributes panel, which, of course, must be visible to help. Years of griping at Adobe have done nothing, because Adobe have no interest in making Illustrator a better program, just in making it a bigger program with more wonderful “features” they can use to trick you into upgrading. Customer service, intuitive software, documentation, support, and even basic product testing are alien to Adobe.
The cause of this is most often black text and logos that are expected to be used for placement in many different circumstances. The designer of the original will add the Overprint attribute to the black objects because the art may be used over other colours. When someone opens the file, then changes the colour to white, they get the problem you had.

PDF does not show up

Hi all,
The following is my code snippet in JSP for a project which i used to generate a PDF file. But the PDF does not show up . The Adobe loads and i get a pop-up saying
'Acrobat could not open 'Example[1].pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted.'
This is the code snippet i used:
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%
String s = new String("Hai this is PDF Sample");
byte file[] = s.getBytes();
try
BufferedInputStream inputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(file));
BufferedOutputStream outputStream = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=Example.pdf");
response.setContentType("application/pdf ; charset=iso-8859-1");
int bytes = 0;
byte buffer[] = new byte[1024];
while((bytes = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1)
outputStream.write(buffer,0,bytes);
inputStream.close();
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
}catch
(Exception e){}
%>
Can anyone please help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
RDP.

Pictures not showing up, when uploaded?

Hey I have a website www.anchorstudios.ca. Anyways I have been using it for quite awhile for our business. Lately we have had problems with certain pages in our websites. For whatever reason instead of a picture there would be a question mark there. Anyways when I go back into Iweb it looks normal. I try uploading again, and it is still not there. I have tried switching pictures, which either made that picture not show up, or it made different pictures not work. Sometimes there are also problems with the buttons. I also tried deleting the whole page and making a different one? Anybody who has had problems and any success getting rid of this please let me know. Here is the page we have the most problems with:

Darryl ~ If you haven't already done so recently, in iWeb choose +File > Publish All to .Mac+ and then, in a browser, view those pages which previously had photos missing.
If that didn't help, it may be a system problem...
Quit iWeb and in +Applications > Utilities >+ double-click on +Disk Utility+. In the column on the left, click on +Macintosh HD+. Click on the +First Aid+ tab then on +Repair Disk Permissions+. When that has finished just note whether or not many permissions were reported & repaired. Now restart iWeb and choose +File > Publish All to .Mac+. Then, in a browser, view those pages which previously had photos missing.
If that didn't help, quit iWeb and in +Library > Preferences+ look for a file called either:
com.apple.iWeb.preferences.plist
or:
com.apple.iWeb.plist
Drag that file to the Trash. Restart iWeb (it will automatically create a "clean" plist file) and choose +File > Publish All to .Mac+. Then, in a browser, view those pages which previously had photos missing.

Adobe Connect does not show tool pointer/cursor when sharing Photoshop...

I am an online instructor and one of the courses I teach is a Photoshop course. Each week I host a Live Lecture session where we use Adobe Connect to demonstrate techniques and tools in Photoshop CS6.
I am receiving several complaints from students because Adobe Connect does not correctly show my cursor/pointer when it changes for each tool in Photoshop. All the students see is an arrow with a small icon of a face/monitor.
This is confusing to the students, because I am trying to demonstrate how to use a tool and they are unable to see the actual tool. For example, when I select the brush tool - they should be able to see the brush circle as the cursor. I then demonstrate how to resize the brush - but they cannot see it. Another example is any of the healing/cloning tools. If I select the healing brush tool, they cannot see the circle (brush). I then demonstrate how to record a healing point by selecting the Option (alt) key - but again the students cannot see the pointer change to the crosshairs to record the healing point - as all they see is the arrow with icon at all times.
Students are complaining that they are not able to comprehend what I am demonstrating because they are not able to get the full affect of the demonstration without seeing it how it should be. Prior to switching to Adobe Connect, we used WebEx - which showed the students everything correctly as I was demonstrating it. I was amazed to learn that Adobe Connect does not show everything - especially since I am using another Adobe program within Adobe Connect - you would think they would be fully compatible and able to show everything.
Thank you

I just saw this option for the first time last week. Very exciting to see it finally in Connect! There is a small amount of lag for the viewers, but nothing that can't be compensated for.
