Word splits document into lots of PDFs

I've got a 24 page Word document that I'm trying to print to PDF format. I keep getting messages saying page borders are outside the printable area, but when I click continue, lots of PDFs are created, some with 2 pages, another with 9 etc.
How can I export the word document as a single PDF?
Thanks in advance

I realise this is a slightly different question, but it's very related. I also have had preview split my documents into many pdfs, and I'm sure it's because of the section breaks.
However, I need to keep the section breaks in my Word document becuase some of the pages are in Landscape layout, while others are in Portrait.
Is there a way to combine the pdf's that were formed? Or "stitch" the documents together?
Thanks for the help!

  • I need to turn an indesign document into an editable pdf. how do I do that?

    I need to turn an indesign document into an editable pdf, how do I do that?

    InCopy is a solution, but it's not the only viable solution.
    I update many books, from 200 pages to 3,200 pages every year, long document, very techincal tax books.
    Some are done through InCopy, some are edited word files and rtfs exported from InDesign, some are marked up hard copies etc.
    It totally depends on the clients technical ability with computers. Last year I taught over 30 authors of ours how to use InCopy. Some were receptive, some were dubious, some were totally clueless.
    And on the dubious and totally clueless I spent more time troubleshooting their problems than I would normally with a Word/RTF option.
    Some people are capable of switching to InCopy or even know how to use it in the first place. For anyone never used InDesign or InCopy before then it's a massive learning curve to jump from MS Word et al word processors, to InCopy.
    I do agree, it is the best solution that's out there, technically. But that solution is not usable by a lot of people.
    Yeh if the client is comfortable with InCopy then it's the way forward.
    But in most cases, in my experience, it's faster and more efficient to Export the text as RTF and let the author update the RTF. That leaves you in control of reinserting the text and formatting it correctly. Rather than letting the client add bold, underline, italics, superscript, subscripts, crazy workarounds because they didn't know how to do it properly. And in the end you end up with 2 or 3 times the amount of work than is necessary, just cleaning up what the client has done in InCopy that does not suit the overall formatting of the publications.

  • When I try to convert an existing Word intake form into a fillable PDF, I get an unexpected error.

    When I try to convert an existing Word intake form into a fillable PDF, I get an unexpected error message and it will not convert.  I am using Adobe XI Pro.  Any thoughts on why this is occuring.  I would like to avoid creating an entire new form from scratch.  If this doesn't work, I will not be purchasing the full version of the software as none of my Word files seem to be converting.

    I used the document which I downloaded from Adobe called "Convert and existing form into a fillable PDF form with Adobe Acrobat XI". 
    At tope right , Tools pane
    Open the Forms panel, Click Create
    Select Existing Document and click Next
    Choose Word file
    Error: "An unexpected error occurred. PDF Maker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
    I have tried several of my forms and none of them work.  There is no word attachment option to show you an example.
    Thanks

  • Why pages sometimes tells me : "an unknown error occurred" when trying to export a document into .docx or .pdf ?

    Hello !
    Since I've done the 5.0 update for Pages (and also with 5.1 and 5.2), I sometimes don't manage to export my documents into .docx or .pdf files. I get a message telling: "an unknown error occured", and the file isn't converted. Could someone help me ?

    Other than using the version that works, as VikingOS suggests, look for any distinguishing features or objects that may be common amongst the files that won't convert. Particularly Tables which seem to experience the most problems.
    We have had a number of reports of this by other users and not been able to finger exactly what is the cause.
    Pages 5.2 has quite a few problems with exporting and this is just another.

  • I am converting all my word 97 documents into word 2010.

    When i convert a word 97 document into 2010 in some of the documents i am facing an issue. The issue is that in 97 word the content is present in two lines where as after converted to 2010 the content is present in three lines. Could any one please help
    me out to resove this issue.
    Many thanks.

    What happens when I send my document to someone else? Will Word mess up my formatting?
    Why has my page layout changed when I open my document on a different machine?
    First, you should not be mass converting Word 97 documents to Word 2010. Documents are historical items, not something to be used as the base for future work on a regular basis. For future work, you want to be using templates.
    My guess is that another difference is that you have a different operating system on the computer with Word 2010 than the one with Word 97. This is not necessarily the case but is likely.
    The two articles linked above may answer most of your questions. There are two principal issues: a different printer driver, and a document setting to update styles from the template.
    Note also, there is a difference between opening a Word 97-2003 style .doc file in Word 2010 and converting it to Word 2010. When you convert to .docx format, there can be some formatting change.

  • Saving Word 2010 Documents into a managed metdata hierarchy

    Hi
    Can I save a document using Word 2010 into a document library that has a managed metadata hierarchy and the document appear in the correct place in the hierarchy ?
    Ideally it would be good if the Word 2010 "Save As" browser would show the managed metadata hierarchy, the user would select a node on the managed metadata hierarchy and the document would be save with the appropriate metadata to place the document
    in the correct place in the hierarchy.
    Thanks

    Hi，
    Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to save the Word 2010 Documents into a managed metdata hierarchy to make the document appear in the correct place in the hierarchy.
    Metadata navigation enables users to create views of information dynamically, based on specific metadata fields. Then, users can locate libraries by using folders or by using metadata pivots, and refine the results by using additional Key Filters. To learn
    how to set this up, see
    Set up metadata navigation for a list or library.
    So to make the document appear in the correct place in the hierarchy, we are not need to save the Word 2010 Documents into a managed metdata hierarchy.
    Metadata navigation enables users to create views of information dynamically, based on specific metadata fields.

  • How do I copy, paste Word document into Adobe Reader PDF?

    A client is not using Microsoft Word, but typing text for my edits into Adobe PDF. Too many edits, too cumbersome for me. After converting PDF to Word, I edit using various ink colors. How can I copy, cut, paste edited WORD document into her PDF? Other than by using "paper clip" or "attachment" features?

    Thanks, graffiti...So, can't copy, paste Word document into PDF?
    What is the "full version" of Adobe vs my Adobe Reader? Adobe Acrobat?
    I do have a cloud, but doesn't help with my editing problem.

  • How do I embed a pdf document into an existing pdf so that the user double clicks on the pdf object within the pdf and it opens? i've looked everywhere on various forums and tried attachments - but still not working. Thanks

    I've tried various methods but to no avail. I have a pdf document and within the pdf I'd like to embed a couple pdf documents so that all the user has to do is double click on the pdf object inside the pdf and it opens in a new window. I've tried using attachments to do it and linking it...but to no avail. Anyone know how to do? I'm using Acrobat Pro Version 11. Thanks

    The "embed" feature common to MS Office applications is not applicable to PDF (for the why and wherefore of PDF get comfortable and read the ISO Standard for PDF - ISO 32000-1:2008).
    You can insert other PDF files' pages into any given PDF.
    You can attach files of supported formats to a PDF (of course a PDF is supported).
    You cannot "embed". So, nothing is broken.
    Be well...

  • Is there a way to programmatically save a Word 2013 document into a Word 2010 in compatibility mode?

    Hi,
    I have a Word 2013 document that I want to open in Word 2010.  The problem is this document has a repeating section content control and if I open it in Word 2010, the content control is removed so the data won't be seen.  Is there any way programmatically
    to save the document in Word 2010 compatible mode?  So that I can open in both Word 2013 and 2010.  By the way, I'm using C# and OpenXML for this.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Based on my tested, I created a "Rich Text" content control in Word 2013, and it'll works fine in Word 2010.
    As far as I know, in Word 2013, content controls provide three key improvements: improved visualization, support for XML Mapping for Rich Text content controls, and a new content control for repeating content.
    Please see the article "What's new with content controls in Word 2013" it may be helpful to you.
    If you have any further question about coding/programing, please post your question to MSDN forum.

  • Can I covert multiple Word Documents into a single PDF using Acrobat Pro

    I'm using Acrobat Pro X version 10.1.10...I'm trying to select multiple Word Document files  (Mac Version 14.4.3) but when choosing the files, Word Documents I cannot select them as a convertible file format. If I drag them into the conversion box it says they are not a recognised file format....any ideas?

    Can you open any WORD file in Acrobat? If not, it is likely a limitation of Acrobat on the MAC. On the PC, you can simply use the Combine option in the file menu to create a new PDF. The conversion of the WORD document uses the PDF Maker option installed in WORD that must work, but this is the same process as opening a DOC or DOCX file directly in Acrobat. There are limitation with the compatibility of various versions of OFFICE and Acrobat that could be another issue you are having, but I don't know the combinations for a MAC. This only gives you some thoughts to consider. Some of the MAC users may be by later to give further thoughts.
    The alternative is to create a PDF for each of the WORD files and then use the combine feature to combine the PDFs.

  • When processing a Microsoft Word 2007 document into PDF format. How do I get the bookmarks to display the Word autonumgl fields

    Acrobat pro does not display autonumgl fields in the bookmarks panel. Have you achieve this?

    Hi Leonidas,
    The AutoNumLgl field numbers paragraphs for legal and technical publications. This field is considered obsolete but is provided for compatibility with Microsoft Word 2000 and earlier versions.
    Microsoft recommends that you use the ListNum field in place of the AutoNumLgl field when using Microsoft Word 2013, Word 2010, Word 2007,  (Ref. Field codes: AutoNumLgl field - Word )
    This is a known issue with Acrobat failing to convert the AutoNum fields.

  • Help!!! I can't save multiple PDF documents into one single PDF!  Need answers!

    Hello!
    I'm trying to save a very large PDF file.  I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.  There are about 200 plus pages and I'm trying to save merged PDF files as one single PDF document.  I've compressed the PDF's as much as I could prior to saving.  For some reason, the process of saving it as a single file takes a long time and usually doesn't work.  Will a higher version of Adobe be faster?  I was told that Adobe X is a 32 bit program and that could be why it's running slow.  I'm unfamiliar with how it all works so I'm hoping someone could offer a simple explanation as to why this is happening and a solution on how to make something as simple as saving a document, go faster.
    Thank you!
    c

    Best to keep the replies in the other post, but I wanted to comment on something you said "I was told that Adobe X is a 32 bit program and that could be why it's running slow." Yes, it's a 32 bit program. No, it's complete nonsense to say that 32 bit programs run slow. There seems to be a general belief that 64 bit is better because, well, because, um, because it's a bigger number so it must be, right? Sorry, I'm not mocking you, but there is such nonsense about this, that I think software makers are having to put a lot of effort into making 64 bit software for no good reason at all.

  • How do you insert another PDF document into an existing PDF page

    Here's some background.  I used to use Acrobat 5 (I know it's really old but it worked great for my needs, but it's time to upgrade).  Say I have an existing 1 page PDF document (an Invoice for example).  Sometimes in Excel I create additional supporting details/calculations/etc that I must place onto the Invoice.  In the past I would print my Excel document to PDF using PDF Broadgun (great tool!) - and I'd like to keep doing this.  Then I would go into Acrobat 5, open up my 1 page Invoice PDF document, then I'd use the Form tool, insert Icon, and select my "supporting" PDF document right onto the 1st page.  Then, as needed, I could resize it and place it anywhere on the existing Invoice/PDF 1 page document that I started with, and the resolution was great (i.e. no "grainy" appearances, etc).
    I've now upgraded to Acrobat XI Pro (well, technically I'm trialing to make sure it'll will meet my needs - so far so good, until I ran into this).  I have tried copying the Excel data directly into my PDF Invoice document, but it often times makes the object super large (way off the page left to right) and then I have to resize it (substantially reducing the size) in order to make it fit the page.  This resizing the causes the text to appear "grainy".
    So pretend that my original Invoice/PDF 1 page document took up the top 1/2 of the page.  Then in Excel I create some backup which is say 5-10 lines of calculations.  How can I get the Excel backup as an Image into my original 1 page document (and on 1 page)?  The only work around that I've found so far is to insert it as the last past, then highlight the new stuff from Excel, cut and copy it onto page 1 (these seems like several extra steps in my eyes, but it does work).
    I also want to avoid using screen snip-it, snagit, and various other tools for the following reasons:
    1.  I don't want to remove the grid lines within Excel (i.e. when you print from Excel the grid lines do not print by default)
    2.  I use PDF Broadgun to generate a PDF (i.e. electronic print) and then the data/document looks just like I'd want it to look if I had physically printed it
    Any thoughts?  Many thanks in advance for the help too.
    Other Details:  Windows 7 Pro, company/business use

    I don't see what the problem is with printing to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer as you did with the other tool. Then open your new Excel PDF and do the same process as before (assuming it worked for you). Just go to the Tools>Interactive and add a button field (I assume this is what you did before) and put the file there. At least give it a try as I think that is what you said you used to do.
