Word 2010 PDF adds "##B" characters to styleref fields

When I convert a Word document containing the styleref field (to insert the current heading in the header), to Acrobat, it adds numbers and the letter "B" before the styleref. The headings appear as "13BExecutive Summary", "20BAccount Management", etc. Oddly, my coworker with the same software versions on her laptop does not get the characters added.
Is there a setting in Word that causes this? How do you fix it?
Windows 7, Word 2010, Acrobat X 10.1.0.
Thanks!
--Barry

It is likely a setting you have. If you open the print menu in WORD and select the Adobe PDF printer, does the print preview look correct? If so, can you print it properly. I just tried it and the print preview showed all the way to the corners as designed and the PDF came up the same way. Are you actually printing or using PDF Maker? What version of Acrobat are you using?

Advange of using Adobe Acrobat over Microsoft word 2007 PDF add -in

Hi,
I would like to know what is the advantage of using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard or professional over Microsoft Word 2007 PDF addin. Microsoft will ship the PDF convertor with SP2 later this month, in that case what should be the use of using adobe acrobat to convert a document to PDF and not use microsoft word built in features.
This is just a doubt which arouse and thought if I could ask here, thought to control some adobe acrobat licenses being used in our environment.

I have found that some of the links and other items just to not work well with the add-in from MS. However, with OFFICE 2007, it appears that MS has put some hooks in the system to screw up Acrobat. Typical pages that are produced with Acrobat get cut into sections (a graphic will be chopped into multiple graphics and pasted together). I say this is OFFICE only from the perspective that we have tried it with OFFICE 2007 and both AA7 and AA8 and gotten the same result. When we used the same file in OFFICE 2003 with AA7, the PDF was fine. So when you complain about the PDFs created by OFFICE 2007 and Acrobat, you may be seeing something that is a result of OFFICE, not Acrobat. Generally they still look good, it is only in some detail where you will see problems.
A major advantage we found with Acrobat is that it did not have issues with messing up the links that the MS add-in had. You can try some of this yourself, but that is a summary of our conclusions. Bill

Importing MS Word into PDF adds extra page with document info

I am still evaluating Acrobat Pro, including Life Cycle Designer to create Forms, currently testing converting existing forms made in MS Word to PDF. There is someting that I do not know how to resolve is when I import files from MS Word, an extra page with details info about the document is copied as well. It contains info such as number of pages, author, date of creation etc....20 lines of info.
This becomes akward when inserting the document into an existing pdf...or just create a new form from the Word document....adds the extra page ..
Is there a setup somewhere that I could modify to not have the extra info? or how do I delete it? I try to select the text but cannot (within life cycle)
Thank you

If you are importing into Designer, you should ask in that forum. If in Acrobat, then you might try printing the WORD document to a PDF first and importing the PDF. However, with Acrobat you will not get the form fields that you are preserving with Designer.

Printing to PDF adds extra characters in file extension (eg. .pdfg)

Hi.
I have no idea if this is the right forum for my question, but since pdf creation is -- in a way -- printing, I thought I'd start here.
When I create PDFs on my MBP (10.5.4) and send the document to my Windows-using colleagues, they cannot open the files since an extra character has been added to the file extension. This is incredibly frustrating, since I haven't managed to track down the problem.
Is this a problem with the system's in-built PDF-creation tools? Or is it Apple Mail that nefariously adds the unwanted character to the end of attached PDFs? Or might there be some other problem, somewhere?
On my mac, the PDFs look kosher, and my mac-using colleagues can open the files I send to them.
I would be very happy for anyone spreading some light on this subject.
Cheers,
Andreas

Yes, it is a problem with Mail when either the message subject or the pdf document (or any other document type) contain accented characters, I believe.
Until Apple fixes this (which worked in previous Leopard versions), I do not use accented characters when I want to send an attached document via Mail.
HTH ;-))

[Bug Report] CR4E V2: Exported PDF displays Japanese characters incorrectly

We now plan to transport a legacy application from VB to Java with Crystal Reports for Eclipse. It is required to export report as PDF file, but result PDFs display Japanese characters incorrectly for field with some mostly used Japanese fonts (MS Gothic & Mincho).
Here is our sample Crystal Reports project: [download related resources here|http://sites.google.com/site/cr4eexportpdf/example-of-cr4e-export-pdf]
1. PDFExportSample.rpt located under ..\src contains fields with different Japanese fonts.
2. Run SampleViewerFrameClient#main(..) to open a Java Report Viewer:
    a) At zoom rate 100%, everything is ok.
    b) Change zoom rate to 200% or 50%, some fields in Japanese font collapse.
    c) Export to PDF file,
         * Fonts "MS Gothic & Mincho": both ASCII & Japanese characters failed.
         * Fonts "Meiryo & HGKyokashotai": everything works well.
         * Open PDF properties, you will see all fonts are embedded with built-in encoding.
         * Interest to note that copy collapsed Japanese characters from Acrobat Reader, then
           paste them into a Notepad window, Notepad will show the correct Japanese characters anyway.
           It seems PDF export in CR4E mistaking to choose right typeface for Japanese characters
           from some TTF file.
3. Open PDFExportSample.rpt in Crystal Report 2008 Designer (trial version), and export it as PDF.
    The result PDF displays both ASCII & Japanese characters without any problem.
Test environment as below:
* Windows XP Professional SP3 (Japanese) with MS Office which including extra fonts (i.e. HGKyokashotai)
* Font version: MS Gothic, Mincho, Meiryo, all in Version 5.0
    You can download MS Meiryo from Microsoft's Site:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=F7D758D2-46FF-4C55-92F2-69AE834AC928&displaylang=en)
* Eclipse 3.5.2
* Crystal Reports for Eclipse, V2, 12.2.207.r916
Can this problem be fixed? If yes how long will it take to release a patch?
We really looking forward to a solution before abandoning CR4E.
Thanks for any reply.

I have created a [simple PDF file|http://sites.google.com/site/cr4eexportpdf/inside-the-pdf/simple.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1] exported from CR4E. It is expected to display "漢字" (or in unicode as "\u6F22\u5B57"), but instead being rendered in different ones of "殱塸" (in unicode as "\u6BB1\u5878").

Conversion from Word adds characters to a StyleRef field

When converting a Word 2003 document to PDF format using Adobe Writer 8, some extra characters are added to a StyleRef field in the header.
The extra characters look like a number sequence: 0B, 9B, 10B, 11B...). There are two StyleRef fields in the header, but only the second one is affected.

Adobe PDF maker add-in for Word 2010 adding strange numbers to headings

Hi everyone,
I used the Adobe PDF maker add-in for Word 2010 to export a Word document to pdf. After saving the pdf, I noticed that the headings that are displayed in the navigaton pane now contain strange numbers, eg.
1.1 14BSecond level heading
1.2 15BSecond level heading
The above should be:
1.1 Second level heading
1.2 Second level heading
It's doing this for all second level headings in the document and when I save as a pdf file, these numbers are showing in the pdf bookmarks.
Does anyone know if this is a known bug with the pdf add-in and if yes, if there's any way to remove the numbers?
Thanks in advance.

I am experiencing a somewhat similar problem. In my case the unwanted numbers are being prepended to the running headers at the tops of the pages.
So for example, I have some Heading 1 text that says Verifying the Required Account Settings. But in the running header, this shows as 11BVerifying the Required Account Settings.
Unlike the original poster, the 11B does not appear in the text itself - only in the PDF generated by Acrobat's PDF Maker.
This occurs with this document when output from either Word 2007 or Word 2010 and Acrobat X.
Any suggested fixes? ...pt

The "portable document format" icon is a Word 2010 icon, so selecting Adobe Reader as action does not work to display the PDF.

In the Applications tab -- Content Type -- the "portable document format" icon is a Word 2010 icon (not Adobe), so selecting Adobe Reader or preview in Firefox as action does not work to display the PDF. I can see this Applications difference because my other Firefox laptop has the Adobe icon, and I can view PDFs. Essentially, a PDF is coming in as a Word document -- and the computer tries to open it up as a Word file.
How do I get the correct PDF icon in the Applications list -- the same way it displays (and works) on my other laptop.

Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.7 ?
I think you need to add this to the list of applications and the action to take on the type of content. This can also be managed in the about:permissions page. [[Permissions Manager - Give certain websites the ability to store passwords, set cookies and more]]

Can Word 2010 populate fillable fields in a pdf fillable form?

Is it possible to define fillable fields in a word 2010 document (name, address, city, state, zip, date) so that after a save to pdf and [Page] add existing file, an existing pdf fillable form will auto-populate same named fields in the added pdf fillable form?

Thanks, George! In the form I am creating, I ask respondents to identify a number of organizations that they work with. For example, I ask "Please list up to ten organizations" and then I provide ten text boxes for organizations 1-10. I then ask a series of follow up questions (radio buttons, check boxes, and rating scales) about each organization. I would like to auto-populate the fields of those follow up questions with the names of the organizations that the respondents had written. Does that make sense? Will this require JavaScript? My hope is to avoid complicated scripts that may give respondents technical problems with the form. Thanks again,
Andy

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 Convert and Combine Word 2010 docs to PDF Binder

Have Acrobat Pro 9.4 Extended. This worked fine with Word 2007, but I upgraded to Word 2010. Now, when I add files and press on combine button it opens Word and asks me to save the first file to a pdf in Word, not in Acrobat. Then, the conversion in Acrobat starts but hangs up until the program stops responding. The binder that holds the combined and converted word docs to pdf never occurs. Maybe the settings are wrong. Or is there an issue with Office 2010? I did a repair of Acrobat, but it has not helped. Any help appreciated.

Do you see the same issue with PDF Maker also ? I would recomend to update the Acrobat to the latest version : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-10.html

Problem embedding pdf as object in Word 2010 64-bit

Hi Dave,
Maurice's thread was locked because he is using Office 2010 Beta, and his post is in the forum for Office Beta, since the Beta is past due, the whole forum is locked.
Let's go back to your question.
Have you installed the Office 2010 Service Pack 1? The service pack fixes many issues, you should try if you haven't.
Download
the Microsoft Office 2010 Service Pack 1 64-bit package now.
I may to metion is that all I know the Office 2010 64-bit will work smoothly with Windows 7 64-bit, cause I'm using it for my daily work.
So, the problem you met with mostly caused by the 3rd-party add-ins/services.
Have you tried to open the document by holding the Ctrl key? This will open the document in safe mode, if you are able to do so, this will help us to narrow down the root cause.
If it will crash even when you start it in safe mode, let's try to run a clean boot to check this issue. In a clean boot, lots of service will be disabled, if we wouldn't get problem in a clean boot, then we can enable the service little by little, then
we can find out which service might cause this issue.
For a detail instruction, you can refer to this kb:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Let me know the result, any questions, feel free to let me know.
Sincerely,

Adobe PDF tab Disappeared in Word 2010

Hi---I had the Adobe PDF tab in my Word 2010 for years---it's now disappeared!
I re-added/enabled it in the Add-Ons (File-Options-Add-Ins) and it shows it as Enabled, but still won't re-display in my menu bar.
I really need this to create bookmarked PDFs, and going into "Options" just allows me to click something like "Bookmarks by Headings," but won't allow me to choose the headings (some clients change their heading names, e.g., Heading 1 may be H1 in another doc), and I need to be able to open that window that I used to use when the Adobe PDF tab appeared, so I can check/un-check the heading names---help! Thanks!

Could you try the following:
Launch Acrobat, ensure you're fully updated (Help > Check for Updates) to version 9.5.1
Close all applications and restart the computer.
Repair Microsoft Office from Control Panel > Programs
Launch Acrobat and repair via Help > Repair Acrobat Installation
Restart the computer.
Launch Word.
I'm wondering if a recent update to Office may have caused the problem.
Let us know how it goes.

Problems with hyperlink when converting .docx to .pdf using Word 2010

I have a Word 2010 .docx document that has a link to a web site in it. The link works fine in Word, but does not work after the conversion to PDF. I am using the Acrobat add on in Word to create the PDF.
There is a pound sign ( # ) in the Word doc hyperlink and it is being changed to a percent sign ( % ) during the conversion to PDF. Any suggestions?

I will report the bug. I had read about some other problems with .docx files so I saved the .docx to .doc and then converted but I got the same results.
Thanks for the feedback.

PDF From MS Word 2010 Reported Bug Still Exists

I need to create a PDF file today that contains images in a MS Word 2010 document. There is a bug in Acrobat XI Professional that I reported months ago. This bug is still here, and now I need help. Can anyone tell me what I can do to fix this issue?
Here is what happens, and I just reproduced this problem I found awhile back. As I stated, I did report it, but this issue is still here!
I am creating a user guide for software. I insert BMP images that are screen shots. On any page where a BMP image exists within Word, the resulting PDF document does not allow selecting of text in Acrobat Reader XI. The selection goes totally insane and highlights random text through the entire page. This is a software defect for certain.
My question is can I easily fix this with minimal time? I had to fix this last time by removing all images from MS Word and instead pasting the image in Acrobat XI. When I do this, selecting text works. The problem with this bug work-around is that this take lots of time (that I do not have).
Help please???

I found something even better. There is a non Adobe PDF creator on my office computer that correctly creates a PDF. The issue is within PDF creation, because I am using Acrobat Reader XI and selecting text with no problem at all.
I did not have to change a thing other than not use Adobe Acrobat Professional to create the PDF. The software that works correctly where Adobe's own fails is called PDF Xchange Driver by Tracker Software Products LTD.
...and as I already stated, I reported this issue many months ago...
