Word to PDF conversion problems

When I create a PDF from a Word document, several files are generated (instead of one) before and after landscape pages within a large document. How can I avoid this so that only one PDF is generated? I get an error saying that the footers are outside the printable area, however, I don't have any problems physically printing the document and the print preview looks fine.

One way would be to use Apple's way (instead of Microsoft's way) of creating a PDF file from Microsoft Word.
Try creating it this way:
While in Microsoft Word, when ready to create a PDF, go to File > Print and instead of printing, click the "PDF" button in the lower left, then click "Save as PDF" from the resulting dropdown.

Word to PDF Conversion = Different Color on Paper

Hello All,
I created a bunch of forms in Word 2010. Converted them into PDF and made them fillable. On screen Word doc and PDF doc colors look the same, but when I print PDF documents their blue turns intor dark purple. Any suggestions on how to keep colors consistent with the Word doc? I read about software and screen collibration, but I believe that there must be a simplier way to synchronize colors. Again, on screen colors looks the same.... Thank you very much.

Hi,
Thanks for the help.
Your first link use Office Web Apps to generate a PDF and launch printing action, it's not my use case.
I wan't generate a PDF near the word document in a document library.
Your second link is interesting, allow IntranetCall and permission on application service Word Automation but no change.
I have always :
"The file could not be converted due to an intermittent error in the system. Please resubmit this file for conversion. If the file fails again with this error message, contact your system administrator" error code 10.
Help me !!!!

Word to PDF conversion does not retain left margin (for thesis submission to a university)

Hi everyone,
I've searched through the more recent margin issues posts and haven't found anything that exactly matches my problem. I'm currently trying to convert my thesis from Word to a PDF (I'm using Word 2003 in Windows XP and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional) as required by my university and the left side margin is changed from 1.5 inches to 1.25 inches during the conversion process. Since this is for submission to a university, the margin has to be exactly 1.5 inches. I've already tried to change the paper and page layout settings in case was an issue related to scaling (if only at this point) and I've reconverted the file in case it was a fluke (obviously it wasn't since I found my way here). I also tried to just shift the margin in Word over an additional 0.25 inches to see if that would put it at 1.5 instead of 1.25 in Acrobat, but somehow it was still at 1.25. It doesn't seem to matter what the margin is set at in Word, it ends up at 1.25 in Acrobat.
I would very much appreciate any input- it would be nice if now that I've finished all the work on my thesis I could actually get it submitted properly so that I can get my diploma!

What method are you using to generate your PDF from Word? What version of Word are you using? (edit: sorry, I see now you mentioned Word 2003)
Are you using the Word's PDF convert-to icon or are you using Print>Adobe PDF ?

HTML to PDF conversion - problems with page-breaks and bookmarks

Hello,
My company is currently considering updating your software (from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat XI Pro) and I’ve been assigned to research its features and make sure that it is a right fit for our goals. Basically we want to automate the whole process as much as possible and we want to create PDF directly from HTML. We’re providing a lot of content in HTML and we need a fast way to transfer it into PDF format. There are however some guidelines:
We want page-breaks in is this kind of documents, and thus - your app needs to be able to interpret HTML and put them where we want to;
We need to have bookmarks in there. Converter must be able to make them based on headlines from HTML source or afterwards, directly in PDF by using some auto-bookmarks feature;
There has to be table of content generated, based on HTML Link Tags if possible. Here’s sample of TOC structure that we have currently:
<A NAME="redirect">sample_text</A>
<A HREF="#redirect">sample_text</A>
Of course we can modify HTML in any way you want us to. The important thing for us is to make it work in PDF without the need to make a lot of manual changes after conversion.
I’ve been messing with Acrobat 9 Pro and reading some documentation that you have provided and I’m convinced that point 3 is not a problem. I’m aware that Acrobat 9 Pro is not having any difficulties with links in document and they work fine in PDF format that has been created from HTML.
Page-breaks on the other hand are bothering me. Your app is apparently ignoring every HTML code that the Internet is advising me to use to force page-break where I want. Honestly - I’ve tested like ten ways to make them and not even one was working. That’s why I’m asking for your help.
Another problematic subject for me is the bookmarks creation. I know that they are not a problem if I’m doing DOC to PDF conversion. Then I’m able to decide what header should be used as a curtain level of bookmarks and everything is working great at the end. However - with direct HTML to PDF conversion - I really don’t know how to generate bookmarks that are based on the source of the input document. Is there any way to make fully working 2 level bookmark tree in this case? Here’s an example of the structure we want at the end:
header1
header2
header2
header1
header1
header2
Could you please help me in finding the solutions? Just like I’ve mentioned - we can modify input HTML in any way, but in the end we would like to achieve our goals as quickly as possible.
Please excuse my English.
I am looking forward to your response,
Lucas

Frankly - we would like to avoid using Word. We are using it currently but there are long-term plans of improving whole conversion process, eliminate any mid-steps and automate as much as possible even though conversion is not going to be done unattended on a server. Thank you for your response, but I hope that maybe someone else would have any idea?

Word to Pdf conversion - Margin diffeence

Hi,
I am in the process of converting some word documents to pdf, but the top margin is not consistent b/w word and pdf i,e pdf have greater margin than the base word document. could any one help me in getting the pdf with the same margin as of wrod document after converting.
I'm using Acrobat Disteller 7.0

I am not sure why you are talking about using Acrobat Distiller 7. But let me get back to the issue.
1. Select the Adobe PDF printer in the print menu. Then go back and check your document (WORD will reflow a document to best fit).
2. Check the paper size of the WORD document versus the PDF document. I suspect that you did not select the proper paper in the Adobe PDF printer properties. Maybe you are trying to use A4 and the paper in the printer is Letter.
3. You should either print to the Adobe PDF printer or use PDF Maker (the Adobe icon in WORD) to create the PDF. Do not print to file, just print to the printer and the conversion process should automatically be started.

Scanner to pdf conversion problem

For some unknown reason I recently started having problems with Adobe Acrobat X Pro (version 10.1.4) in converting via the scanner to pdf conversion basic text documents. It used to take a minute or two to convert a basic text document, now it is taking almost a half hour for a basic text one page conversion. Any ideas?

Sorry for the inconvenience caused while scanning. We are actively trying to fix the issue and need help from users like you in narrowing down the fix. I’d request you to do the following when you run into this issue:
• Please send me a private message or e-mail me at [email protected] immediately and I will get back to you within one business day for next steps
• Please take a back-up or copy of any folders or files (e.g. App Data), in case you choose to delete them as a workaround

PDF conversion problem after password change

I am in a loop: having changed password, Adobe insists on new subscription to PDF conversion before converting a document, but will not accept my submission because I already have a subscription with 4 months still to run before renewal. How do I sort this idiot out?

Which subscription service did you purchase? Adobe PDF Pack or ExportPDF?
Could you make sure that you are signed in before converting documents?

Weird problems of figures with word to pdf conversion

Platform: Windows Vista
Word 2007
Acrobat 9
Q: I have some wmf format vector figures inserted into word file. When I convert the word file into pdf format using the built-in pdfmaker button in the word menu, the vector graphics all become bitmap type. If I use print to pdf commond, the graphics are still vector format. Because I want to retain the Heading markers and other bookmarkers in the converted pdf file, I prefer using the pdfmaker for the conversion.
Does anyone know how to fix it? it used to work in my old computer with acrobat 8 and word 2003. Not sure whether it is a compatability issue.

You may want to be open to issues of WORD 2007, particularly if using a docx format. It may not be the issue you are having, but I have found problems with WORD itself for graphics. In some cases, it will take a nice graphic and split it into parts when creating a PDF. I am not sure what all the issues are, but WORD 2007 seems to be part of the problem, not just Acrobat. In fact, I have seen WORD take a vector graphic and change the fonts to a graphic, rather then leave them as a font in such a graphic - that was with a docx file. I am not saying WORD is the problem, but be open to alternate explanations of what is going on.

MS Word 2007 to PDF Conversion problem links & bookmarks

I have a 200 page MS Word 2007 document in which I added hyperlinks to jump to embedded bookmarks within the document. I choose Save As --> PDF to convert the document. Once the document is converted, some of my links work perfect (I can click on any part of the underlined word) and half of the links only allow me to click on the white space preceding the link and the previous word. Further, words that start a line of text always work. Words that are within a paragraph force me to use the white space to the left of the word.
Please reference the example below:
The first "Nick" below would work perfectly (i.e. I could click on any part of the word) and it would jump to the bookmark.
The second reference to "Nick" will only be clickable in the space between "that" and "Nick" on the second line.
The first "Sally" in line one will "look linked" but I am only able to click on the blank space between "that" and "Sally".
The second "Sally" will work at anypoint in the word because it starts a line.
Ely will only be clickable between the "." and "Ely".
I have tried to save the document in every possible combination of settings.
Thanks for the help.
EXAMPLE: I would like to click on a persons name and have it jump to the end of the document where I have placed the biographies.
Nick is going to the store because he believes that Sally will be there
when he is back. Ely thinks that Nick is really not a good person, but
Sally thinks otherwise.

Are you using "Adobe PDF" or "PDF or XPS?" I sounds like "Adobe PDF," but trying to be sure. Have you updated your Acrobat to the latest version? If not, try that.

Word to pdf conversion failure

Hi I cannot get ms word document to convert to pdf, either with ms word plugin or using acrobat file-open. It appears to get someway through the conversion then disappears without error message when using the plugin or gives an error failure when using the file-open option.
I and running windows 7 sp1 64bit. ms office word 2003 sp3. acrobat X pro v10.1.13
Acrobat seems to work fine with existing pdf files, opening, combining, adding/deleting pages etc. it just wont create a new pdf from ms word or for that matter, cobalt solid modelling program either.
I had to install and use bullzip pdf maker to get me out of this problem just to finish a huge job the company had undertaken. But bullzip doesn't create bookmarks from internal document hyperlinks, which is essential for my current work.
How can I overcome this quite essential problem of not being able to simply create a pdf? Admittedly the ms word file is 180mb but that surely cannot be the issue

Hi richardstansfield,
I could see that you are using a very old version of MS Office which is actually not compatible with Adobe Acrobat XI.
For details, please refer this link:
Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications
I would suggest you to install the supported version of MS Office and check again.
Hope to hear from you.

Anubha

Hello,
I think the following statement is causing problem.
P_OTF[] = P_JOB_OUTPUT_INFO-OTFDATA.
either give:
P_OTF[] = P_JOB_OUTPUT_INFO-OTFDATA[].
or
directly pass P_JOB_OUTPUT_INFO-OTFDATA into FM parameter.
This is because you are filling only header into P_OTF and NOT the Contents of internal table by the statement
P_OTF[] = P_JOB_OUTPUT_INFO-OTFDATA.
let me know whether it works.
Regards, Murugesh AS
have alook at this thread:

Word insert pdf object problem

Adobe 8.1 and Word 2003 sp3 are installed on XP64 box.
From word, when we do insert > object > Adobe Acrobat Document (Create New) we get the error: This object was created in AcroExch. This application is not available to open this object. Make sure the application is properly installed and that it has not been deleted, moved, or renamed.
If instead we do: insert > object > Adobe Acrobat Document (Create From File): All we get is an Acrobat icon, we should get an image of the document.
Please help, we have exhausted all possible solutions from this forum and the internet.

I know this is an od post but we have been experiencing the same problem since rolling out reader 9.3 on PCs that did not have a previous version of the Adobe Reader.
Found the solution was some missing registry entries (below)... Hope it may help someone.

Ink annotations get lost during word 2007 - pdf conversion

Hi,
I am trying to convert a word 2007 document into a .pdf using Acrobat Professional 9. The problem is, the ink annotations get lost in the process. A colleague does not have the same problem. I an very sure that I have never changed any preferences.
Thanks for your help, Bruce

You did not give all of the information. The current version of AA9 is 9.4.7. If you have 9.0, you should do the updates until you get to 9.4.7. Also, I assume you are not using a 64-bit machine, an appropriate comment at this time.
That being said, I did run your DOCX file in WORD 2007 and AA 9.4.7 on a 32-bit Win7 system. With PDF Maker, I got the same result as you. With a print to the Adobe PDF printer, I did get the markup that you wanted. If bookmarks and tags are not of concern to you, then using the printer might be the best route for now. There appears to be a bug in PDF Maker that has not been noted before and you have brought to the front. I am not sure how the annotations are done, but apparently PDF Maker did not catch them.

Acrobat 8.1.6 and Word 2007 - PDF printing problem

I have a weird problem with printing a word 2007 document to the Adobe PDF printer (distiller). I hope someone can help with this.
My two-page Word document has a background color, text, text boxes and two imported images (both under 500kb). Now, the problem is two-fold:
If the 'print background color' option is disabled (unchecked), the PDF looks okay, but the background color vanishes as does text within text boxes (the text boxes themselves appear fine).
If the 'print background color' option is enabled, the PDF shows only the background color, but no text!
In either case, the PDF generation takes an unusually long time.
I tried to follow the advices given in other threads, and looked for the presence of Acrotray.exe (it was present during the process). I also tried printing the document to a file (.prn), renaming the extension to .ps, and double-clicking it to send the job to distiller - every time with the same result.
I must mention that if I use Word 2007's own 'Save to PDF' feature, it generates a clean PDF without any problem. It is only the Acrobat Distiller that is giving me endless grief. Can someone knowledgeable please help me with this issue?

I have an update. This is even weirder. It turns out that after I generate the PDF and only the background color shows up, I can use the Touch Up Object tool to select the entire page (by clicking anywhere in the colored area), and press 'delete'. If I do this, parts of the background color gets deleted, revealing the text underneath - including the background color!!!!! And doing this repeatedly, I can remove this strange 'overshadow' and find everything (image, text, text box) intact underneath. I can do the same to the text box, and eventually, the missing text appears there.
I, of course, have to do this for every single page!
In summary, it is almost as if my text and images are being covered by a sheet with the same color as the background, which I am then removing part by part - with each stroke of the delete key - much like opening a . Strangely, this happens for each page except the last page (which prints fine - with images and texts etc.)
Does anyone have a clue about this?
Update: I hadn't seen the replies from Bill and Lori when I posted this. Thank you both for replying! I do think that the problem is with transparency, given what I found out just now (written here). However, I have tried different PDF settings, standard and high quality (this is the one I normally use), and yet I have had the same issue!
