Word to pdf: page scaling lops off odd-page footers!

I'm running Windows Vista and just installed Acrobat Pro 9. When I print a Word document using the Adobe pdf driver, and I use a custom page size and page scaling to the custom size, I'm losing the odd-page footers. The original document is 8.5x11 and the custom page size is 8x10. The weird thing is, the page sizes are consistent throughout, and there is no problem with the even-page footers. Conversely, when I print to pdf without page scaling, the footer shows up properly. Thanks in advance for your help!

What result do you get if you print 2 pages (odd and even) to paper? It may be that the margins conflict with the footers and the page overruns the footers, dropping the footer off. Printing to paper would be good to isolate the problem if possible.
WORD 2007 does not use printer metrics by default and so that should not be your problem. WORD 2007 does do some other strange stuff to PDF file. Be sure to try using the PDF Maker and also the print to the Adobe PDF printer. In AA9, these provide different functionality, particularly with WORD 2007. Does one process work and not the other?

  • Word to PDF - Page Numbering Problems

    When I use the combine files tool in Acrobat 8 for PDFing word documents instead of the page numbering being 1/3, 2/3, 3/3, it comes out as 1/1, 2/2, 3/3. I've tried looking at all the settings and cant find a logical reason for this. It also happens when I print to PDF while in Word.
    Has anyone else experienced this same problem?

    Here are a couple links that should help.

  • When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the numb

    When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the number pages start from the second page.How to keep the original format?

    Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.

  • How do i change a pdf in preview to a word document in pages?

    Does anyone know how i return to work on a word document within pages as i'm currently viewing it as a pdf in preview.

    Preview does not have that capability. Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for software that can do such a conversion.

    If your mail service allows all of that to be sent as attachments or however you are attempting that then it's possible the email server or servers receiving the email do not allow attachments that large.
    You say you are sending "a combination of MS Word and pdf files and attachments". I've never sent anything like that. I have zipped various files into a zip file then attached that to an email for sending.
    Googles mail appears to allow a total of 25 megabytes of attachments in a single email.
    Yahoo mail appears to allow a total of 25 megabytes also.
    Microsofts mail appears to allow a total of 20 megabytes of attachments in a single email.
    Another option would be to upload everything to your onedrives public folder and provide a link for others to download all of it in the email you send out.
    A single users onedrive supposedly can have up to 10 gigabytes loaded onto it. I suppose all of that could be used by the public folder but maybe not.

  • Page numbers are not generated correctly when print from Word to PDF

    Whenever I print my Word document to PDF, my page numbers do not reflect the page numbers shown in Print Preview.
    For example, I have a Word document with 10 pages and after generating it as PDF, the page number shows Page 1 of 1; Page 2 of 2; Page 3 of 3; ......Page 10 of 10.
    Please advise what may be the cause and how can I rectify this problem?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I do have some sections breaks on the pages, however the pages are all shown in running sequence even on Preview page.
    It is the final generated document that has this problem.
    I emailed my colleagues my WORD document and ask them to generate to PDF and they have no issues printing the WORD to PDF and every pages were in running order.
    Any other advise?

  • My Adobe XI software no longer converts Word to PDF files with hyperlinks or page layout preserved.

    Is anyone else having the same problem where the initial installation worked fine and over time, you are no longer able to adjust the setting in the 'convert to PDF' menu for Word documents?  I am now faced with Word documents that lose their hyperlinks on conversion and when there are changes in page orientation (e.g., portrait to landscape and back again), the software creates sub files for each kind of page layout.  In a word, the software has become useless.  What can I do to fix this?

    In order to preserve links on Mac Word to PDF. You need to do as follows (note this only preserves links created by Word's auto Correct. Not by Word's URL Creator.)
    Method #1
    Create Document save as .docx as backup.
    Go to File Menu > Print
    Click and hold the PDF button, a Context menu appears.
    Choose Adobe Quality PDF, or Adobe PDF (depends upon Version of Mac OS X)
    First Choose quality (similar to Job Options in Distiller) and whether to open using Acrobat Or Reader.
    Next a Title will appear. (in format "microsoft.nameoffle.docx.pdf").
    You can leave file name as is or remove the Microsoft and the .docx from the Name
    Save File.
    This method also will print pdf, even if it has section and Page breaks except when there is orientation change from Portrait, or landscape.
    Method #2
    Do step 1 above.
    Locate the file Created.
    Drag the file either on top the actual Application or its Icon in the Dock.
    Wait ......
    When Acrobat opens Immediately save.
    Again all links created with Auto-correct will be live.
    And pages will be intact in the PDF except when there is a Change in orientation.
    Auto correct will create links/URL's  when you type such the will automatically turn blue and become underlined. And clicking on the in the word Document  will go to the link.
    What does not work until Adobe fixes a 10-15 year old bug is where you select word then go to Insert menu> URL. A window opens and you choose the link or email, in the URL Creator.
    Also the Bug where changes in section, and pages breaks cause new PDF that have to be put together has not been completely cured. (Still splits when orientation changes.) Has been proved by Microsoft to be a Bug Adobe can't or won't fix. You simply take a Mac Word File open it in the PC version and create a PDF. And works perfect.

  • If possible, How do I copy multiple PDF pages to a word document?

    I know how to take a snapshot of one PDF page at a time and copy to a word document; however, I do not know how to copy multiple PDF pages at once. Is it even possible? I would love to know if anyone has any information pertaining to my question!
    Thanks,

    If it messed up the formatting, you will not be able to do more with Acrobat. Some third party products supposedly do pretty well, but that conversion may cost you as much as Acrobat.

  • Try print from Microsoft Word XP : printer (HP Oficejet 4500 G510n-z) lops off top of random lines

    try print from Microsoft Word XP: printer (HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z) lops off top of random lines

    CD didn't work. Download software, didn't work when it came to plugging into usb port, don't even get a BACK button, nothing. Printer not recognized by laptop. Did all the solutions/uninstall/install etc. Printer is working though, prints out the exact same thing each time I press the green button on the printer, but is not connected to laptop. So it's not the printer, it works.
    Now what?

  • 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.

  • Black Pages - Convert from Word to PDF

    When I convert a Word document to a PDF, the pages on the PDF document are black.  This only happens on select Word document that use a specific cover graphic.  I've sent the same document to a co-worker and they were able to convert the document to PDF with no issues.  I have verified my preferences with my co-worker and these are the same.  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (10).  I was previously able to convert a Word document with the same graphic to PDF without any issues.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Adobe Reader can't convert from Word to PDF.

  • Component to URL link a word/excel/pdf document inside Page

    Hello Experts,
    I would really appreciate if somebody can answer if there are any standard component or functionality available to call a network URL link to a word/excel/pdf document inside a ABOUT tab page for the definition and screenshot of How-to and functionality of the dashboard.
    I am trying to avoid creating a custom component to use SAP UI5 HTML control to initialize a OLE object call to a given URL.
    Thanks
    Arun

    Well, Word and Excel documents are binary, so you will need a Binary LOB (BLOB).
    I have recently been storing/retrieving BLOBs through ASP/ADO . . .
    BLOBs are limited to 4GB, but ADO has a limit of 2GB. Hopefully, that will not be a problem.
    If you are using ODBC, then be aware that you need to enable LOBs by setting LOB=T in the connection string. If you are using ODBC with stored procedures, then there is a bug that causes the LOBs to be truncated to 32K, which is fixed in 9.2.0.6.5. A colleague tells me that the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle works with LONGs but not with LOBs.
    If you are using OleDB with stored procedures, then you'll need to set the "SPPrmsLOB" property to TRUE.
    When uploading BLOBs through ADO, you need to set the parameter size to 1 higher than the actual size, otherwise you get an error.
    When retrieving the BLOBs through stored procedures as OUT parameters, you need to set the parameter size to larger than the BLOB, otherwise it gets truncated. I do not like having to specify 2GB for a file that might only be 32K, so I prefer to return a record set via a REF CURSOR.

  • How do I: put multiple PDF pictures into one PDF page?

    I have just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro Ver 9 - so this apllication and its associated SDK are the only applications available to me for use.
    Adobe Acrobat was chosen because of its AutoCAD capabilities (when AutoCAD is not present). i.e.  Using Acrobat & AutoCAD's plot configuration files & Pen / colour selection table ensures the output has correct line thicknesses (sometimes colours in CAD are used to represent a line's thickness) - this is preserved when using Acrobat.
    The generated output is fantastic. However, when I try to print the output via Excel / Word (used for layout) - my perfect output is reduced to imperfect results.
    So: is it possible to layout multiple PDF pictures inside one PDF entity for printing purposes such that the original output is not distorted?
    I have in the past put pages in front or behind other pages but cannot find any references or code that works with Pro 9 nor indeed the manual way to insert PDF pages at any location on a single PDF Page?
    I'll try and explain.  My template coud consist of 6 boxes on a single A4 page thus:
    My base PDF Page (can be thought of as a template - ideally it wont be printed - but even if it is - it wont be printed on any media material) has 6 areas (any number of areas up to 100) on it.  In each area, there is a box.  It is within these boxes that I wish to place a PDF Picture.  Not all pictures will be the same.  How can I do that?  Ideally I'd like some example C# code - though doing it as a user will suffice, for now.
    Is there a way of programmatically selecting each of the above boxes on the base PDF Document?
    I do know of one manual method (though it seems long winded) and it is not accurate enough in that (even though the layers are deselected) - the hidden layers are subsequently outputed too - not good!
    Uses a button icon over each box.
    All the current Adobe help for the SDK refers to Pro 8 and previously - which all seems to have now been replaced in Pro 9
    This question will be placed in the Developer & User Forums - as it pertains to both.
    Thankyou in advance for anyone that either knows any workarounds or any ways to affect a solution. 

    Picture of what I want to see:
    What I get, and don't want to see is:
    The PDF was generated using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from an AutoCAD LT (DWG) file without AutoCAD being present but making use of a plot configuration (PC3) file & pen table (CTB) file.  The resultant file [WhatIWantToSee.pdf] is perfect - all the lines are the right thickness & colour and are perfect vectors (with no construction / proofing layers visible).  When you view that file in Acrobat and show the "Layers" property box, you see that the correct number of layers whilst are still present are indeed turned off.
    However, when I add a forms-button to one of the rectangles (please refer to initial post - where there are 6 rectangles), and display same file as icon display.  The resultant view is the one shown above named [ What I get and don't want to see].  It seems the saved layer settings are all ignored?
    I generated the PDF file through Adobe Acrobat Pro 9  Menu | File | Create PDF | From File (Files of type Autodesk) | Options | Selected Layers | Layout | Last Active Layout.
    Rectangles are regular content elements - not fields (in the general meaning of form-fields).

  • 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,
