Word doc tables in PDF, appearance of

Using the online create PDF function, I have converted a Word
document, 2 pages, that contains several tables. In each table the
horizontal lines are retained while all vertical lines are removed.
All lines were created with the default and smallest possible
thickness. In the PDF version some of these horizontal lines are
reproduced correctly, while others are rather much thicker, maybe
twice as thick. Further, I made two PDF conversions, with the
result that different lines were made thicker each time. It thus
seems that (a) there is a mistake in the conversion, and (b) it is
accidental where this mistake occurs.
Can I do anything to avoid this?

Hello Lars T,
Thanks for your post. A couple of questions for you to help
out.
On the user end there isn't much you can do to avoid the
conversion inconsistencies, if there are going to be any during
conversion. Well, in this case, you could give taking the tables
out a try prior to conversion, or you could try recreating the
document by cutting and pasting into a Buzzword document.
Alternatively, if you'd like to send us your original word
document to have looked at and have us test it.
Please send the pre-conversion, and if you like the
"converted result" to [email protected]
Thanks!
Pete

  • Why when I am converting a word doc into a PDF are some of the pages moving around. It appears to be

    Why when I am converting a 50 page word doc into a PDF using Acrobat XI Pro the pages are moving around.
    It appears to be happening in the places where the previous page is not a complete full page, just a half page.
    It is moving these pages up into the previous half page, but it is only moving them several lines into that page
    Which has totally distored my e-book.
    It is attaching all my pattern sheets at the very end of the file okay, etc.

    Also, to be more sure you get in the PDF what you are seeing in WORD, go to the print menu and select the Adobe PDF printer, then go back to editing. The is a feature of almost all word processors to reflow the document for best results with the attached printer. It is also one of the problems of using WORD forms that such form designers miss. If you don't like the reflow, many the Adobe PDF printer your default and always print to Acrobat. If you want it to go to a printer, then print from Acrobat to that printer and it should remain intact. The other way to avoid the reflow is to use a layout program like Publisher or InDesign.

  • Convert MS Word (.doc) document to pdf document

    Hi All,
    My requirement is that I need to convert MS Word (.doc) document to pdf document.
    Is there any standard SAP function module.
    Pls guide me.
    Rishi

    I dont understand why you want to use SAP to convert word file to PDF file.
    1. Search in google
    2. www.win2pdf.com - this may be useful
    Still if you want to use SAP to do that then follow the below procedure.
       1. Upload the data from word to internal table using the function module : GUI_UPLOAD.
       2. Use spool :
                  1) RSPO_OPEN_SPOOLREQUEST - Open spool request
                  2) RSPO_WRITE_SPOOLREQUEST - Write to spool request
                  3) RSPO_CLOSE_SPOOLREQUEST - Close spool request
       3. use the function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert spool in to PDF format.

  • 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.

    Cannot embed pdfs in Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.
    Pdfs with other versions are okay:
    Tested successfully with Adobe Pro 9 (Version 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)), Reader X (Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x)) and XI (Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x))
    Also cannot open embedded pdfs which have been embedded with this version (getting a similar error).
    Importantly I have removed/disabled all security options in Adobe Reader, following numerous internet suggestions from Adobe and elsewhere. This does not fix the problem.
    Currently the work around is to re-save the pdf with something other than Adobe Reader 9 (so the version updates), but we would prefer not to do this for all the old pdfs we have.

  • Link to a Word doc in a PDF is not opening the doc in Internet Exlorer 8

    I have a PDF created in Acrobat 9 Pro, I have given a link to a word doc. The PDF and link is working perfectly on browsers other than Internet Explorer 8.
    In IE-8 Even if allow to open the doc when prompted, nothing happens.
    How can I fix this?

    Dropbox has a convenient feature to preview DOC files as PDFs in Firefox's built-in PDF viewer. It's convenient but can lead to this problem that you end up downloading the document as a PDF instead of a DOC file.
    As long as the recipient uses the Download button on Dropbox's toolbar above the viewer (see attached screen shot comparison), the recipient should get the original format instead of the preview.
    Is that the issue?

    Hit command tab and swtich to the Finder, under the Apple menu is Force Quit, do that to the program that is causing your "hang" and restart the program and what you were doing.
    If you didn't save your file beforehand, then your going to have to make it again.

    Appears to be a font related issue.
    Regardless, all you can do with the circumstances you describe is to use MS Word to perform cleanup of the export content.
    Alternatively print the PDF to paper and use that as a source for transcription into a fresh word processor file.

  • From Word DOC to Acrobat PDF... borders and lines get screwed up.

    I've been looking this up for days now and have yet to find a solution.
    I have a MS Word document that has a bunch of tables with borders and sometimes just text with borders for stylistic reasons. In Word, it all looks perfect.
    But, when I convert it to PDF using Acrobat, many of those borders get screwed up in various random ways.
    Sometimes certain borders get thicker, sometimes thinner, sometimes invisible altogether. Sometimes it's only certain lines of the same border (just the left side, or just the top). I see no real pattern to what's causing it to only happen in certain cases only.
    What makes it extra annoying is that if I zoom in or out a certain amount, the borders will look the way they are supposed to look. Some will look perfect at 100% zoom only, and some will look perfect at 75% zoom only.
    This has been driving me insane. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Convert multiple files (word docs) to multiple pdf

    Hi,
    Is there a script I can use in batch processing to convert about 1500 word documents into pdf? I know it's possible to convert multiple files into one pdf, but this is no good to me. Doing these conversions one by one is going to take forever!
    I've tried selecting a few documents at a time and then selecting "convert to pdf" from the right-click menu, but each one requires that you tell it where to save, and then opens the file when it is done.
    I need to convert Word files on a regular basis for work, and could really use a batch process for this with so many to do!
    I have Acrobat 7 Pro (version 7.1.0) on XP Pro SP 2 at work, and Acrobat 8 Pro (Version 8.1.2) on XP Pro SP 3 at home.
    If there is anyway it's possible to do this via a batch process I would really appreciate knowing how!!
    Apologies if this has been covered in another thread, I searched but couldn't find anything.
    Thanks in advance :)

    I have Acrobat 9 Pro. I can batch convert Word docs to PDFs by doing this:
    1. Open Acrobat Pro. Click File > Create PDF > Batch Create Multiple Files...
    2. A window will open prompting you to add files. Click Add Files > Add Files... OR Add Folders... If adding a folder, navigate to it, and click OK to add it to the list. You can also select a bunch of files and drag & drop them into the Add Files window.
    3. Once you have all the files listed that you want to convert, click OK. A new window called Output Options will open. In this window, select your preferred settings. For me, I want all the new PDFs to have the same filename and be in the same folder as the Word docs, so I choose these settings:
    4. Click OK, and then the batch process will begin running. You will see Word opening and closing. However, you won't have to click Save or anything. You can run it unattended. The process takes a little while, so I usually set up a batch to run, then go to lunch. Once finished, you should have all your new PDFs:
    Hope that helps someone!

  • Insert a spreadsheet and word docs into a PDF with hyperlinks

    I have a spreadsheet index with hyperlinks to 455 single page word docs. I want to make a single pdf by inserting the spreadsheet followed by the word docs.
    Is there a way of having the hyperlinks recognize the inserted word docs pages inside the pdf via the original hyperlinks, or do I need to remove the hyperlinks before inserting the spreadsheet and then do bookmarks for all 455 pages? Or some other method?

    James,
    I doubt that will work. But it should be easy enough to find out. If you
    print to pdf from ID, I guarantee is will not work. If you export from
    ID, I doubt it will work, but ask in the ID forum, since the creation
    does not depend upon Acrobat.
