Hyperlinks lost after converting MS Word file to the PDF/A format (apply the standard PDF/A compliance)

I need to convert a MS Word document to PDF/a.. I use the Acrobat plugin, with preferences set to ensure compliance with the PDF/A standard (conformity to the PDF/A format is an absolute requirement here). My Word document contains several hyperlinks to pdf documents. When I tried to convert the document to PDF/A format, all hyperlinks to pdf files that I had in my word document have been lost.

How can I convert my Word document into a PDF/A compliant file AND have deferred hypertext links as well?

ISO / a identifies that reference external content (aka 'links') are prohibited.

Mark this process PDF/A has no way to differentiate between 'external' to 'internal' - so, all links go away.

Anyway, you said that the Word links are a flavor of 'external '.

PDF/A does not like.

Be well...

  • Convert several Word files from the Explorer windows for PDFs with bookmarks

    Hello

    I used to be able to select several Word documents in Windows Explorer and convert them into multiple individual PDFs with bookmarks (using XP, Office 2007, Acrobat 8 Standard). Lately, my computer has been upgraded to Windows 7 with Office 2010 and Acrobat X Standard. The selection of multiple files function exist; However, I encounter following issues:

    1. the converted files without all the bookmarks.
    2. save the file screen pop up twice. First asked me to save to where it begins to convert, after PDF conversion screen has finished, it will ask me again to save the file in the root directory, i.e. when the files are really saving.
    3. for each open Doc file, Word 2010 pop up a message will indicate that the normal template file has been changed and ask me if I want to store the update.


    I tried searching everywhere on the web and seems we do not encounter the problem. Did someone encouerting similar problem?  Is there a way to solve the problem?

    Finally, I reinstalled Office 2010 and Acrobat X Standard.  Everything went very well.  No found bugs.  It must be a problem during the installation of the program. Detective Conan.

    Hi jotall3,

    You can use the Pack of PDF from Adobe to convert an Excel file to PDF format. You can subscribe here: http://cloud.acrobat.com. I think you will find that it is a simple web interface to create PDF files.

  • Borders of text box 'lost' when converting from word to PDF document

  • You can convert multiple PDF to DOC (MS Word) files at the same time?

    Hello

    I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard. While I can simultaneously convert several files in PDF format by selecting all the files you want, right click then "Convert to Adobe PDF", there seems to be no way to do the opposite of this, which would be to convert PDF several files in a different format, in my case the format in DOC or MS Word file (2003).

    I scanned the help files, the knowledge base and here (the forums), but I can't seem to find an answer.

    Could someone tell me: is it possible to simultaneously convert multiple PDF files to another type of file using Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard or other software? If it is possible using Acrobat 8 Standard, could someone tell me how I would do?

    Thank you

    If the standard batch processing, the answer would be Yes, but I think it's only one Pro feature.

  • Font colors are lost after saving and reopening files with WordPad

    WordPad allows me to change the colors of fonts in my file very well. But, after I've close it and reopen it, the color disappeared and returned to black. The files in question are plain text files.

    Hello MG-10,

    I was not able to reproduce this problem, as my font color has been saved.
    I open Wordpad. Typed in the text, it turns red. Saved the file. Reopen the file and the police were always in red.

    If this isn't what you've tried, please let me know your steps.

    Sincerely,

    Hi sharonm37841720,

    I don't think you're doing something wrong. You are able to convert other PDF files without error? What is this file in particular? You convert via Adobe Reader or the ExportPDF web interface?

    To begin, please clear the cache of the browser and connect to https://cloud.acrobat.com. Make sure that you use a supported web browser (see the system requirements for |) Adobe Acrobat Pro and online services) and that it is not the settings of proxy or firewall that limit your access to the Internet.

    Please let us know how it goes.

  • disk size problm after copying a large file to the VM then disconnected

    Dear Sir

    I have a VM with allowances dynamic storage virtual hard drive of 300 GB,.

    HE on that disk space is 50 GB.

    Ive copied on it a 100 GB file so now space space disc is 150 GB and 150 GB is free.

    Ive deleted the file 100 GB of the virtual machine, but am supersized now that the file of the virtual machine is still 150 GB in size.

    What should do? as it fits the 50 GB after deleting the file from the virtual machine.

    Hello

    Yes it is planned.

    You have copied a huge file in the virtual computer-> who is the virtual disk in order to accommodate the new file->

    You remove the huge file-> your take off just to comments operating system, the file in the list of the directory->

    Your data is still there, it does not erase the data and rewrite from scratch.

    In order to recover the disk space, you need a number of things:

    -first of all your guests, OS file system must be supported (Windows FAT/NTFS is)

    -Your guest must be stopped

    -The type of the guest operating system disk should not be preallocated.

    -Your host operating system might need a lot of free space on the drive according to your VM disk configuration.

    If stored in several files, you must have a few GB free (size of the Ramdisk / 32) Go, but say more than 4 GB, keep 10 GB free to be on the safe side.

    If your virtual machine is stored in a single file, so you must have your used VM disk size + a few GB of free... for example. If your virtual disk is currently using 200 GB you need tell 204 GB free before starting the operation of a compact disc.

    Then in the configuration of VMware go into settings of virtual machines:

    Use the 'Compact disc' button.

    Be very very patient and wait, because you want to get 100GB which will take some time.
