Word to PDF does not fully convert

I'm using word 2003 and Acrobat 8 pro and when I convert a word document to a PDF it completes but randomly does not convert some paragraphs or formatting. The area is just blank. It could be a whole paragraph or just random words.
any ideas?

If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
Go to the Acrobat update page and apply the updates for your version of Acrobat
IN NUMBER ORDER (updates are not cumulative so, using version 8 as an example, you must apply 8.1.0 before the 8.1.1 before the 8.1.2 update)

Why does converting word into PDF does not take the background color of the page?

When I do a page background on a document, and save as pdf, it does not take the background color. It shows only white background.

This may be a limitation with the built in PDF writer in OS X. Never tried it so I have no idea if it does the same on my Mac.
As this is not a MS Word problem you are in the right set of forums.
Have you tried another PDF writer other then the built in one?

Word to PDF does not keep hyperlinks in Table of Contents ?

I have used my free trial of Adobe CreatePDF before purchasing the annual subscription.
I was surprised to see that the PDF document did not keep the clickable hyperlinks that Word uses in a Table of Contents. As this is the exact same behaviour as the "Save as PDF ..." option that I have natively available on my computer I don't see the point of paying a subscription to the service. Or am I doing something wrong?
MAC OS X Lion (10.7.2)
Office for Mac 2011
150-page .doc document with Section, Chapter, and various Heading Styles defined
WORD automatically-built Table of Contents
In the WORD document, the page numbers in the Table of Contents are hyperlinks to the concerned page
Convert WORD to PDF using "Save as PDF ..." option in the "Print..." dialog box
====> Table of Contents hyperlinks are not preserved (the page numbers are no longer clickable)
Convert WORD to PDF using Adobe CreatePDF
====> Table of Contents hyperlinks are not preserved (the page numbers are no longer clickable)
Am I missing something or is this the way it is intended (not) to work?
P.S.: I know that, on the MAC, I can use Preview to manipulate the PDF document I obtain through "Print..." > "Save as PDF...". One of the things I can do is to select the page numbers in the Table of Contents and add a 'link' to each. But this is a VERY cumbersome process. Actually, I have to create a link for each page number, one at a time, on a table of contents that may consist of in excess of 50 entries. As I have a collection of 50-odd documents and am on a schedule of distributing new versions every two weeks or so, this procedure is completely unusable. Hence my search for a (paid) service that converts my documents while preserving the hyperlinks of the Word-created Table of Contents. Either I am doing something wrong or such service does simply not exist ...

Good day fgrexsg,
You are correct in that the workflow you described will not produce links in the resulting PDF files. The steps that Lori outlined work great if you're working on Office for Windows in terms of getting the links to work when converting using the CreatePDF service.
In order to make this work on the Mac, you'll have to take a few extra steps within Office first.
You're going to have to repeat this step for each item in your TOC. While this will be time-consuming for a 150-page document, it will work.
Within your TOC, highlight the entire entry listing (e.g. Topic 1.........3)
Once the entire line is highlighted, choose Insert > Hyperlink
Click 'Document' to select a location within the current document.
Under the 'Anchor' option, either type in the Heading/Sub-heading (must be exact) of the page you want the hyperlink to attach to or click 'Locate' and find the proper Heading/Sub-heading within the structure.
As I said, this will probably be time-consuming on such a large document, but it will work.
Unfortunately Office for Mac just simply isn't as full-featured as its Windows counterpart.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Kind regards,

Adobe pdf does not fully download from mail. Is there an adobe application that will do the job fully? The pdf is a download from an email attachment.

A friend sent a pdf to me attached to an email. I looked at it with my pc; the mac only shows a portion of the file. It is an adobe file. Is this common? Is there a fix? Is preview not capable of fully opening an adobe file? Has anyone else had a similar issue?

For example, I can't open this pdf file http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM1294E.pdf
I get this message:

When closing "Word" it does not fully close and I have to force close it to shut down my computer, any suggestions?

Sounds like Word is corrupt, I would uninstall the app and then reinstall. Also there is a MS Office for Mac forum, you can find it at: Office for Mac Product Forums

MS Outlook 2010 Add in Create pdf - does not create pdf of draft emails- Adobe Acrobat Pro X

In MS Outlook 2010 Add in Create pdf- does not create pdf of draft emails- this maybe the case, but just wanted to make sure this is normal for the program- though I guess one can print as an Adobe pdf but it does not maintain the hyperlinks of email addresses etc. the functionality is compromised in a print vs create a pdf.

Here's a workaround by the team:
Right click on the message from Explorer list view or folder view and chose the option to convert to PDF.

Blank error message with ? appears and PDF does not open in Browser (IE11) when clicking link to open pdf. PC - IE11 Acrobat 9.0

Blank error message with ? appears and PDF does not open in Browser (IE11) when clicking link to open pdf. PC - IE11 Acrobat 9.0
Cannot access in browser PDF files unless blank box is closed and then website address is clicked on again in browser address bar and page reloaded.
Uninstalled Acrobat 9, reinstalled, still same problem.
Help please!

Yes I can it only happens in the browser..
I reinstalled Windows on my machine and started over a couple of weeks ago.
When my desktop started up I didn’t have Acrobat installed and clicked on a pdf file and the open with xxx dialogue box came open.
I chose a different program as Acrobat wasn’t installed yet so it associated pdf files with another program.
Later Installed Acrobat and couldn’t associate the pdf file with acrobat so I went into Folder Options and manually associated PDF files with Acrobat.
Ever since then I get the error when something is downloaded and opened in the browser.
Works fine everywhere else and when I cancel the blank error, highlight the web address and press enter to reload it works 90% of the time.
Not sure what to do..

PDF does not contain all document elements

I've created a new brochure using InDesign CS5 and everything looks OK in the InDesign format, but when I export the file into pdf-format, not all elements are included.
The pdf does not display the top banner on one page and a transparent figure is missing from the background of all odd pages. I have used two masters and the master pages look OK in the InDesign format.
I've tried exporting the file into several different pdf formats (print quality, high quality etc...), but the problem remains.
Do you know where the problem is? I really hope you can help me.
BR,
Suvi

Ok, thank you for the answer. I need to install the 7.0.3. update.
However, the issue got solved when I used the print to pdf function instead of export and thicked the "Print non-printing objects" box. :-)

Adobe PDF Does Not Appear In printer List

My computer runs Windows XP. Acrobat Standard 6 is installed. "Adobe pdf" does not show in the list of printers. I have installed all available updates, but it still does not show in printer list. I have done a google search on this and have come up with nothing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Try to re-install it, after deleting all folders from previous instalation. If still not works, lets see, are you the adm of your network? If not, may this is a network permission while trying to install a new printer. It can be different versions of acrobats installed at same computer too.

When creating PDFs, the PDF does not open.

I am using Acrobat Pro X...and have had no problem creating PDFs. Suddenly today when I create the PDFs, although they are created, the PDF does not automatically open upon creation (I have to go to the file folder location and open the PDF).
I tried repairing the Acrobat installation and that didn't help. And actually when trying through the Control Panel, a 2nd PDF printer was created which I cannot figure out how to delete (they both are listed under the same Adobe PDF printer).
So, the main issue is fixing so I the PDF automatically opens upon being created.....but if someone can help with the 2nd PDF printer that would be appreciated.
Steve

The check box is in the default properties of the Adobe PDF printer, under the settings tab. Get there with Start>Printers>select Adobe PDF and right click to check printing preferences. This is a selection, not a reason to reinstall. How it got unchecked is a different question.
If there are Adobe PDF printers present, just delete one of them or rename the second one to something else (like Adobe PDF backup).

Firefox does not fully load Barclaycard Authentication site. It loads as far as asking for certain letters in my pasword but does not load the "Submit" button so I cannot continue with my purchase and have to switch to IE8 browser to purchase anything over the internet. Any clues?
== This happened ==
A few times a week

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is totally messed up by another program that you installed, and Barclays doesn't know you are using Firefox 3.6.6 - it probably looks like IE 6.0 to that website.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',

PDF does not show up

Hi all,
The following is my code snippet in JSP for a project which i used to generate a PDF file. But the PDF does not show up . The Adobe loads and i get a pop-up saying
'Acrobat could not open 'Example[1].pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted.'
This is the code snippet i used:
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%
String s = new String("Hai this is PDF Sample");
byte file[] = s.getBytes();
try
BufferedInputStream inputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(file));
BufferedOutputStream outputStream = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=Example.pdf");
response.setContentType("application/pdf ; charset=iso-8859-1");
int bytes = 0;
byte buffer[] = new byte[1024];
while((bytes = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1)
outputStream.write(buffer,0,bytes);
inputStream.close();
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
}catch
(Exception e){}
%>
Can anyone please help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
RDP.

ITunes Store does not fully appear on screen

The iTunes store does not fully "load" on screen. It takes 2-3 minutes for just a few images to appear and then it stops. Everything else about iTunes is functioning completley well as are all of my other internet connections/processes. This problem has existed for around one month and we have upgraded to iTunes 9. Please help !

Perhaps try the iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

I am using final cut express 4. It seems that any clip over a certain length, say 5 min, does not fully transfer! All shorter clips are perfectly fine. Is there some reason why longer clips are not fully transferred? (a half blue circle shows up on the transfer list, indicating that the clip was not fully transferred. When I check in the capture scratch folder, sure enough the whole clip is not there!
Is there some glitch in final cut express that only allows short clips to be transferred in full?

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to answer all the questions (I am a relative novice). Your help is appreciated.
By the way, the other reply I received suggested the following:
In Final Cut Express>System Settings>Scratch Discs make sure the Limit Capture/Export File Segement Size To: is not checked.
I did this and it was already unchecked. So this is not the answer...
The strange thing is, I have been logging and transferring with FCE for 2 yrs without any problems at all with shorter clips, but have come up against the problem with long clips (over 5 or so min) the whole time. I got around it by simply making sure I stopped recording after less than 5 min while shooting footage. OR if I accidentally got a long clip, I import into imovie and then import into FCE. Not very streamline and I worry about compressions altering quality!
I am now trying to import a 20 min and a 17 min clip and it only transfers around 3 minutes of each, I have re-tried several times and it happens repeatedly. The blue circle in the transfer list shows up as a half blue circle instead of full. Clip cuts off after 3 or so minutes.
