Word 2010 Document with embedded pdf objects

Is it possible to convert a word 2010 document with embedded pdf object into a PDF without loosing the functiuonality of double clicking on the Acrobat icon and opening the (embedded) document?
Thank you for your help.

Pretty sure that the PDF will contain exactly what you'd get if you printed the Word document. There is no promise or expectation that objects will be "live".

Word 2010 document with images won't print to HPLJ5550 printers

It prints fine on black and white printers (HP 4250). It's a 25-page document with images on almost every page. The file size in Explorer shows the document is 3.2mb. The printer queue window shows its 2.27mb/415 mb.
I've tried to figure this out.
I sent the same document to four different HPLJ5550 printers. All the same problem.
I sent it to other printer models and it works fine.
I sent it from different computers. Same results.
I turned off background printing. I disabled advanced printing. I PDF'd it and it still wouldn't print.
The issue is that we are moving to Office 2010 in May and I am responsible for training everyone. But, I can't print my training materials on 90% of our printers (HPLJ5550). Gack. What will this be like when we have all our employees trying to print and documents won't print.
This has happened with other Word 2010 documents too. I thought it may have been the fonts in the styles. So I changed the styles to use Times New Roman and Arial. Didn't help.
I made new styles, not based on any other style, and used TNR and Arial. Didn't help.
I save the file back to Word 2003. Didn't help.
I can, however, print the file fine on the one Dell 5100 color printer we have. But, that's not going to work when we have 700 users trying to print to their HPLJ5550 printers (the company default printer for all our locations).
I would appreciate any suggestions you have. Right now I have had to go back to using Word 2003 to create the training documents for Word 2010 classes - totally not acceptable.Ugh.
Thank you!

I am using BB ZZ10, and my laptop has Kaspersky Anti Virus installed in Windows 7, as mentioned in the forum, i have stopped my AV, and installed the PrintToGo and still it is not working.
I get a small window asking for my blackberry ID and Password, once i enter it correctly it give a error message, stating that cannot connect to internet or DNS not found when all other browser pages are able to connect.
if i enter wrong password it shows password wrong and then asks for correct password, only if i give correct password it shows the error message which is a typical Internet explorer error message.

Conversion of a Word 2010 Document with inserted objects to pdf with adobe acrobat XI

Hi,
I am working in a Wrod document with inserted objects such as ppt files, word documents and even pdf documents. you open the word document, push in the object and then the inserted file opens. I have converted it to pdf with one button click and the index works, that's to say, you press in the index and you go to the section selected. However the inserted objects are images and you can no open them.
Do you know how to keep the inserted objects????
Thanks

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc. I am logged on as the Administrator, running Windows 7, using Microsoft Home and Business 2010.

You were right, it was a Microsoft problem.
I got it...I am now able to save a Word 2010 document as a pdf file. Here is what I did/found:
In Word, go to File, Options, Display and make sure that "Print drawing created in word" is CHECKED.
Mine was unchecked and when I checked it everything came back and is working as it did before. The only thing I can think of is that a Microsoft Update may have changed this selection...I know I DID NOT make any changes in the options.
One other thing I noticed in my saved documents folders was that a lot of my files showed up as PDF's and would still not open until I selected one and told it to default to open as a word document and then they all changed back and I was able to open them in word again.
I hope this helps others out there.

How to keep embedded PDF's in an MS Word 2010 document during export to PDF with PDFmaker

Hi,
I am preparing in MS Word 2010 a Software Manual with embedded PDF's
When I double click in MS Word on the inserted PDF, Acrobat opens the embedded PDF (these are A0 CAD Drawings).
I want this functionality also after I have converted the MS Word file to a PDF with the PDFMaker add-in (Acrobat X Pro)
Is this possible?
Greetzzz,
Gerben

No. PDF files cannot be embedded within the pages of other PDF files.
What you could do is attach the other files after the PDF has been created, then manually link to those attachments in Acrobat.

Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table

Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table. I have Windows 8.1 64-bit and Office 2010 Professional. Only phrases from within Excel tables are not searchable. I have many Word documents with embedded Excel table.
I use it for my invoices. Those invoices are converted to pdf to be sent via mail. Searching the same phrases in related pdf files Works fine. And yes, folders are indexed, searching service is active......... For example I can find all invoices that have
specific address or name, which is located in word document, but cannot find invoices with specific item name or price, being that information is in embedded Excel table. (not linked, embedded). I thought that is a question for Windows forum, but guys directed
me here on Office forum. To clarify, I do not use Ctrl+F inside some document, but Windows Search in my folders. Probably the same happens in Office 2013.
Thank you.

Hi, I have a lot of Word documents (invoices, offers). Main part of those documents is embedded Excel file because it is easier to do mathematics in Excel than in Word. There are columns with description, unit price, quantity, taxes... Now, I need
to find who bought HP switch 2530-24G last year. I open folder with last year invoices and search "2530". Cannot find any. But if that document was converted to pdf for mail, than I can find that phrase. Windows search does not work for content if the content
is in embedded file.

When converting tables in a MS Word 2010 or 2007 to PDF the table borders do not retain the correct thickness as identified in the word document. Is there a solution for this issue?

Unable to click on excel object within a word 2010 document

Whenever a user tries to click an Excel Object within a Word 2010 document, the error "Microsoft Word can't start the application required to open this object. An error occured and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Would you
like to repair this feature now?". Clicking YES runs a repair on Office 2010, which does not resolve the issue. Clicking No gets you the following prompt: "The program used to create this object is Excel. That program is either not installed on your
computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install Excel or ensure that any dialog boxes in Excel are closed."
Operating System: Windows 7, Office Version: 2010
I've tried the following to resolve the issue, without success:
Running the Office Repair as suggested in the prompt
There are no open dialog boxes in Excel
There are no COM add-ins or Excel add-ins active in Excel
Starting Word in Safe Mode (clicking CTRL on open) does not resolve the issue.
"Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)" is unchecked in Excel.
I am able to edit this document with no problem on a machine running Windows 7 with Office 2007 or even office 2013.

Hi,
Do you see this problem if you start Windows in Safe Mode? You might want to have a try and verify result, some outside application may be preventing the OLE server/client connection.
Have you ever checked your anti virus? Try to disable it and check again.
Please make sure to install any updates to your system or Office products. It's important to make it up to date.
Try to go to your task manager to kill any excel process and then try again.
I have seen a case that user finally fixed this with a clean uninstallation and reinstallation, if issue presists with all above steps, you might want to do a completely reinstallation and then try again.
Thanks,

Word files with embedded pdf's

How does one convert a word doc with embedded pdf's to pdf and preserve the embedded files as active files using Acorbat 8 Pro?

Cannot be done.

Using a PC; converting a Word 2010 document to PDF; upon completion the PDF document has a dark and/or patterned background; I have tried "removing" the background but that has not worked.

Can someone help me remove what appears to be a 'background' that is created when converting a Word 2010 doc to a PDF format. I am using the 'save as' method and selecting PDF as the file type. I have used this method for over a year and have just had this "background" problem today. It is not happening on all documents; so far it's just happened on 2 resumes but not on the accompanying cover letters which I think is very odd.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Sara –
I’ve attached the converted documents so you can see what I mean. The Word document was not shaded in these ways; it was just a white background…or no background at all.
I don’t know if these were created from scanned documents.
Thanks!

The appearence of tables in some Word 2010 documents changes after KB2880529

I wanted to alert you that, since our company has applied
KB2880529, some users are reporting Word 2010 documents (docx) having their appearence changed.
More precisely, the issue concern the table inserted in the Word document : They are all messed up. For exemple, the begining of the table can look ok, then a few lines of the table are
badly miss aligned (like moved 2 cm to the right), then you've got a few normal lines, then again several bads, and so on.
Also, some of the cells, that were in the last column of the table, may appear half outside of the table.
And the worse part is that, even if you take some time to manualy fix the table, when you save the document and re-open it, everything is bad again, and exactly as it was before... so basicaly
the save doesn't work for the tables (it work if you change some text in the table, but not for the table itself (size of the columns, location of the columns, so on)).
I can't profite any file because they are of a very sensitive nature and can't leave our company, even if I remove most of the content, our IT security doesn't allow it.
Anyway :
- we are absolutly sure it's
KB2880529 that does that because when we uninstall the KB, and re-open the document, it look normal again.
- it seems to concern only documents that were created using some old Word 2003 templates some time ago, and then opened in Word 2010. As far as I know it doesn't happens on 100% Word 2010
documents.
So, we are currently doing a package installed by SCCM 2012 in order to uninstall it on all the PC which received it a few days ago.
Let's hope you'll correct that issue... and if possible that, in a near futur, you'll had a feature in SCCM 2012 to allow us to unintall KBs, like it was possible with WSUS.

I'm sure there are some ways to fix the files one by one. Indeed, our tests indicate that it's possible, for exemple, to open them in "LibreOffice 4.2" (a fork of OpenOffice), which displays them correctly, and then save the file in .doc and then use
Office 2010 to open this .doc and save it in .docx.
But what I've forget to indicate is that the issue touch probably thousands of documents that have been placed in a "document management application" (I'm not sure how to correctly translate) over the years, documents that may be hundreds of users need to
look at, for reference, from time to time... but basicaly the documents are "frozen" / archived, they must not be edited by anybody.
I very much doubt you can expect MS to not apply updates, including via the next Service Pack, just because some tables in some of your documents are corrupt. Besides which, the same problem will quite likely resurface when you next upgrade to a newer version
of Office. Ultimately, someone is going to have to check out all the documents with tables and verify their content. The scope of that project might be narrowed down after you've checked a few documents and found some common features between those with the
corrupt tables. It's easy enough to write a macro to test the files to see which ones have tables. That can serve as the first step in narrowing the scope of the project. It's also possible have the macro that repairs the files restore their
original time/date stamps if that's important.
An entirely different approach would be to temporarily uninstall the update on one PC. Then use that PC to convert all the documents to PDF. Then use the PDFs in the "document management application". Since the documents "must not be edited by anybody" the
PDF format is inherently more secure in that regard and can have security attributes set to prevent printing and/or content copying. The PDF format is also impervious to Word's tendency to change document layouts whenever you do little things like updating
printers or changing between doc & docx formats.

Problem converting word 2010 Document

I am having a problem converting a Word 2010 document using Live
Cycle Designer ES2. I get the following
error msg:
Word (version XP onwards) could not be found
Word 2010 is installed.

I have just run into this issue myself. At first I thought it might be that LiveCycle is not yet fully compatible with Office 2010 but after doing some googling it seems there are plenty of folks out there successfully converting Word 2010 documents to PDF.
As a temporary workaround, you could try a copy of an earlier version of Word should one be available to you.
If I'm able to find a solution to the issue, I'll let you know promptly.

Word 2010 document becomes Read-Only after saving it

Hi,
My Word 2010 document is becoming "Read Only" after saving it, for information my doucment is on the desktop . I searched on this forum and find a couple of solutions (deactivating auto saving, etc.) but it does not work at all. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Sylvain.

, I wonder why the docuemnt is becoming Read-Only when I am saving it on the Desktop...
I've read articles and blogs of people arguing each side of whether you should use the Desktop as a storage folder and I really
don't have anything substantial to add to either the pro or con side of the issue.
However, what I know about Word is that it behaves a bit different and seems to have issues when you’re actively editing document that are stored
on the Desktop. I would speculate that the issue has something to do with the screen driver software.
When you’re editing a document, Word is actually using something like a dozen or more temporary hidden files and some of these are stored in the
same folder as the source document. If the source document’s folder is the Desktop, then there has to be interaction with the screen driver.
This interaction with the screen driver is one variable that makes the Desktop folder unique and possibly problematic and thus Word under certain conditions
makes the file Read Only.

Custom Property in Microsoft Word 2010 Document Template and Sharepoint 2010 Content Type not Syncing up

I wrote a macro in a Word 2010 template with a custom property called HeaderFooter (a Yes/No value). When the property is changed to No, the header and footer are hidden, otherwise, the header and footer are displayed.
I added the template to a SharePoint 2010 Document library, with a content type DocInformation and a column name HeaderFooterOffOn that I want to map to the custom property HeaderFooter in the Word Document.
The macro isn't working in SharePoint, though, because when the user clicks on the HeaderFooterOffOn in the DIP of the Word Document, the Word Custom Property (HeaderFooter) isn't changing with it.
How do I get these two synced up, so that when the SharePoint column is changed, the Word Document's custom property simultaneously updates with it?

Hi kevinkevinc,
There is no direct way to run macro in SharePoint
As a workaround, I suggest you use SharePoint Event Receiver to run some custom code when column changed.
Here is a similiar thread for your reference:

To read embedded PDF objects in .xlsx file

Hello,
We have a requirement to read the embedded PDF objects in excel 2007 file (.xlsx).
We tried doing this with the ZIP approach and found that the contents of embedded objects are saved in oleObject1.bin.
Now this .bin file is of compound file binary format and we don't know how to read contents from this file.
Does any one knows anything about this or is there any other approach to read the pdf.
Regards,
Mandeep

We are able to extract the PDF file data from OleObject1.bin file.
Below is the code to extract the PDF file.
DATA: lv_h type xstring,
           lv_object type xstring,
           lv_pdf     type xstring,
           lv_len type i.
lv_h = '255044462D'. " where this value is binary representation of '%PDF".
FIND FIRST OCCURRENCE OF lv_h IN lv_object IN BYTE MODE MATCH OFFSET lv_len.
lv_pdf = lv_object+lv_len.
Now LV_PDF will contain PDF data in XSTRING format.
Regards,
Mandeep
