PDF is sent to Word XP appears as gibberish. Help

I can't fprmats PDF in Hotmail automatically, he goes to the word and comes up as gibberish.

First of all, you must have installed a program that can read PDF documents.  The 'official' program is free AdobeAcrobat Reader , but many here like Foxit Reader , which is smaller, faster, and also free.  If you chose Adobe Reader, be sure to uncheck the option to download/install any module Adobe pushes, as a 'security' application McAfee or a Yahoo toolbar.

If you had already installed a pdf reader, then when you install one of the above, it should automatically set your file associations so that pdf files are opened in the player application, and you should not have to do anything else.

If you already have a pdf reader on your computer, then find a pdf file, right-click on it and select "open with >" option.  At the bottom of the list that appears, click on "Choose program."  Find your reader of pdf in the list; If it is not already displayed, click on the button browse and find.  Once the player program selected PDF, check the box "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" and click OK.

    You will need to find a forum for MS Word, since it is the software you are trying to manipulate in the present.  If you think that the treatment/creation of the PDF file plays a role, then you should ask in the forum for the software that you use to create the PDF file.

    This forum is for a question about downloading and installing Adobe products test, so in all circumstances, your question does not fit in this forum.

  • My office print 8600 ProPlus will not print pdf files sent from an iPad with ePrint.

    My office print 8600 ProPlus will not print pdf files sent from an iPad with ePrint.  I just get an error message when I go to the HP Eprint centre.  It prints the address email of the coverage, but nothing else.  The attachment is not sure that I can see.  I tried to send an attachment from my Mac and worked well.

    Thank you for your response and I am sorry for the delay to return to you.  I tried save the Pages document in a Word document and send it to the printer using ePrint but it is even.  That is to say the handout printed but not the attachment.  However, when we removed the accompanying document and sent the attachment in its own it has worked well for we have managed to solve the problem. Thank you very much.

  • How to convert a pdf attachment to a word document?

    I received evidence for an article that I wrote to make final corrections but when I open the file it is a set of symbols that I can't read.  Please help, I'm on a deadline.

    If you mean that you open a PDF with Adobe Reader and the document appears to use a symbol instead of something recognizable font... the file is damaged and you will need to get the sender to send again.

    If you mean you are trying to edit a pdf document by opening Word, you can do that.

    You can change (some) pdf documents if you have Adobe Acrobat (which, unlike Adobe Reader, is NOT free).  The only way you can change a pdf without Acrobat document is to use the optical recognition of characters (OCR) software.  If you have a scanner, this software might have been bundled with it.  Or you could see if the pdf to print and scan file then it would result in an editable document - once again, if there is an OCR software at your disposal.

    You can ask the sender to send the document as a word (or Rich Text Format (rtf), which can be opened by Word).

    Or you can simply print the pdf, annotate the old-fashioned (with a red pencil) way, take to Kinko's, Staples, or a similar office supply place and get it scanned to pdf and then send this return pdf.

  • Print a PDF file so that the comments appear

    I used Actobat 9 Pro to create a portfolio containing PDF files, which I put in place to allow comments. Then I used Acrobat Reader 9 to open multiple PDF files and created comments. I sent the portfolio to my co-worker who also made comments.

    We can see the two sets of comments in PDF files, identified with user names - which is great.

    However, if I print the PDF files, the comments do not appear. They are visible online? is it possible to print, with their context in the PDF?

    Kind regards

    Sue.

    Dialog box print received in file > print in Adobe Reader (9) provides for the selection of "Document and annotations.

    Like your screenshot shows the properties of the drive Adobe does not provide for user configuration of display it comments, annotations and partner of pop ups.

    You must have Acrobat Pro (.. maybe Standard also) for this feature.

  • Can't make a PDF from a MS-word file

    Hello

    I can't make a PDF from a MS-Word file. The function has been effective for a long time, however, it became not effective this time. I tried to make a PDF from another MS-Word file and a pdf file could be made to be. Therefore, in my view, the problem is in the Adobe Acrobat.

    Version: WAA Acrobat 9.0.

    OS: Windows 7 Professional, Japanese version.

    I tried to make a pdf file from other files in MS-Word and also from other applications, including Windows Memo, however, make a folder of pdf have been impossible so far. When I tried to make a pdf file, a small window appears on the screen, saying that a PDF Adovè is underway. In the window, 'document name' selective and candidates of the 'document' name are the list of file names which I missed to make a PDF of these MS-Word and other applications.

    I checked some information about the website and Adobe, however, that the information available for my case appeared to be "uninstall and install again". I prefer other methods if possible.

    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Thanks CtDave for your helpful reply.

    Fortunately, the problem has been resolved by the method which I didn't do, uninstall and reinstall. I got to have a time to do the job this time.

    One last thing I found was the problem in the MS-Word file. I've included some figures that have been copied from PowerPoint file. I changed the jpg files using Windows Paint software, then a PDF file could be from the new version of MS-Word format.

    Thank you CtDave for your reply anyway.

    Hello

    Please provide us with more specific information on the issue. Your post is a bit confusing.

    If you need to open the PDF files, you will need to install a PDF reader.

    If you try to print in PDF format, you must install Adobe Reader.

  • Maintaining links between PDFs converted from source (Word) files

    Hello

    If I have two Word files and manage the links between them (hyperlink on one specific bookmark on the other), is there a way to easily remember (or reproduce) these links on PDF files converted from Word files?

    Here's what I've tested so far.

    -On the source file, the format of the hyperlink is "{filename} .docx #{bookmarkname}. I changed the extension of docx to pdf.

    -Source/target to convert Word files to PDF format.

    -The hyperlink on the converted source PDF is in the format "file:///{targetpath}/{targetfile}%23{bookmarkname"}

    -When I click on the hyperlink on the converted source PDF, security warning pops up with "this document tries to connect to...". »

    -If I click on 'Allow' on the pop-up, the web browser opens with "cannot display this page" error. "


    I guess that by using the hyperlink is not a viable solution. If the links do not work, do the following manually?


    - source file Word, remove all hypertext links (because they do not work on PDF even when)

    -convert files to PDF format

    -on target of PDF, the value named destinations on the points corresponding to Favorites

    -on the source PDF, find points corresponding to hyperlinks and define the links to destinations named on target PDF.


    (Actually the situation is more complicated because files are shared at the chapter level and they should be merged for each new version.)


    If there is a simpler method to achieve this, I would appreciate your help.











    That's why your problems... You use the PDFMaker plugin, IE the Acrobat Ribbon.
