  • Acrobat Pro 9.1 creates is no longer a PDF from Word 2007

    I upgraded from Acrobat 7 to 9, specifically to better control the parameters when PDFs from Word 2007. It worked as I had hoped until the upgrade of 9.1 vulnerability has been installed. Now it is no longer will create a PDF from Word 2007 documents at all.

    Of in Word 2007, when I click on "Create a PDF file" (be it in the Office menu or a toolbar of Acrobat) he asked a file name, but when I click on 'Save' has no effect. This is true even for the simplest possible document with the settings "By default" PDF "Preferences".

    If I click with the right button on the name of the document file in Windows Explorer, with Word 2007 closed and click on "Convert to Adobe PDF" in the menu, it starts and the box of staus comes up, but after a few seconds stops and displays "an unexpected error has occurred. PDFMaker is impossible to produce the PDF from Adobe. »

    I can still "save under" PDF in Word 2007, but this gives me little control over the format.

  • Is it possible to keep the custom metatags when you create PDF from Word 2007 files?

    Does anyone know a way to have custom metadata attached to a Word 2007 document to be completed in the course of an Adobe PDF file? The "Save as PDF or XPS ' in Word 2007 command clears all custom metatags that you have attached to the Word doc as PDF file has metadata cleaned up when you open it in Acrobat X.

    However, in Word 2010, you can incorporate the MetaTags in the doc properties, create the PDF file using the Save as PDF, and the metatags are stored in the PDF file. So far, I have not found a way to do the same thing in Word 2007. (I know it is possible to add the metatags in Acrobat after the creation of the PDF file, but we are looking for a way to provide a Microsoft Word template that has the MetaTags already integrated, so colleagues by using Word 2007 can create PDFs that include our metadata.)

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Using check-in PDF or XPS does not use Adobe technology. You must use the Acrobat Ribbon to create PDFs using Acrobat technology (or print to Acrobat that does save all metadata).

  • PDF from Word 2007 ends with scrambled Chinese characters

    I have a problem with PDF files when converting a Word 2007 document that includes traditional Chinese characters and I hope someone might be able to help or point me in the right direction. After the converted PDF through "Create a PDF file" in the Acrobat toolbar, the Chinese characters are all wrong. It seems that the Chinese, but none of the characters actually exist, it's all scrambled and useless. English text conversion or German works very well, so far, only the Chinese traditional text that is causing problems.

    The strange thing is that, before you install Office 2007, everything works perfectly. I could convert Chinese text in Word 2003 without any problems and that the update for Word 2007, nothing has changed. No idea where to start troubleshooting and how to fix it? I already tried to re-install and Repair Word and Acrobat, but no improvement.

    OS: Windows XP Professional SP3 (English system)

    Word: Microsoft Office Word 2007 (12.0.6504.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000)

    Note: Using of "save in" and select 'PDF or XPS' in Word 2007 works very well, Chinese characters will appear correctly in the PDF, but I prefer use of Acrobat PDF Creator to create my PDFs.

    If you use ctrl-D and check the tab fonts, the fonts are included? Otherwise, check your job.settings and possibly change to a press or print settings. Settings std tends to not incorporate a large number of fonts. If you have used the smaller PDF settings, no fonts are embedded.

    Also, you can view the log of Distiller file (you may need to make sure that the log file is not deleted after conversion - there is a checkbox for this). Maybe it's that the fonts you're talking about are not allowed for the coating. In the case of MS with the fonts, it may be that they do not know the license - something Adobe has become very cautious. You can compare fonts for the two different PDF files see what is different.

  • Bug? Tags accessibility conversion from Word 2007

    This seems to be a minor problem, but it is one that could create a lot of frustration for a disabled person using a screen reader to read tabular data in a PDF document.

    As you know, Acrobat plays well with applications Office allowing users to create (structured) tags, accessible PDFs from MS Office files. I just created a simple docx file with a (attached) table, and when I converted it to PDF, I noticed a difference in the tags that it creates from the conversion of Word XP. As see you in the Word file, the table is very basic, but one of its column headings is divided into two cells. It's actually a very common technique for the presentation of the data in the table. To automatically mark as cells of table header < TH > header lines in the PDF file, I put the first two lines of "Repeat header lines."

    Conversion from Word 2007 with the "Save as Adobe PDF", or any other method that uses the Acrobat plugin, creates a tree of tag that is missing a < TH > tag. I found the problem when I was testing a file with the JAWS screenreading software. Using the JAWS "active cell" command (Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 5) to announce the column headings. It reads the wrong header for the active cell because of the < TH > missing. So, in my example file, he announced $2 and $5 as amount 2010 rather than 2009. This could be quite confusing for a user, to say the least screen reader.

    Then, I compared the result to the new feature "Save as PDF or XPS" from Word 2007. This feature of the tag of the file properly and header to the height columns.

    Compare the joint "save-as-adobe - pdf.gif" to "Save-as-pdf - xps.gif. Note the < TH > tag empty (but necessary) in the image of the latter.

    As a validation test, I had a colleague with Word XP the file convert. These tags were right too. So this must be a problem between Acrobat and Word 2007.

    Someone at - it further comments on this? I'll conduct accessibility training and at the present time, it seems that the use of the Word 2007 conversion feature is the way to go.

    I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro.

    Hey Joe,

    I feel your frustration. For any organization that needs or wants to commit to providing accessible information online
    a serious logistics problem raises its head. PDF, HTML, what is the right way to do (and it's possible)
    requires more resources (training, knowledge, hardware, software, changes to work flow, perhaps some staff members more).
    Is not "work smarter with less & pump more" in this place.

    Yes, it is useful (and necessary) for 'being one' with the 'paragraphs' - WCAG 1.0 - WCAG 20 S508.
    However, as soon as someone starts to provide PDF files which must be 'accessible' the first, most important reference is ISO 32000.
    The references of PDF from Adobe, which preceded the PDF becomes an ISO standard are useful; but ISO 32000 is the norm.
    In this documentation, there is a full discussion of what he * needs to be done to provide an accessible PDF.
    Without a good understanding of this content, other information tend to bring about a de-escalation of focus opacity, which can
    contribute to conceptual errors important view accessible PDF.

    Entry blog of Leonard Rosenthol AUC provides a link to the ISO standard permitted version Adobe (free) of the ISO 32000-1.

    I doubt it will ever be a "one-click" seamless between the dominant products of one of the software houses.
    They are competitors intense. That it is not others providing provide a product of 'whole', right?
    For example, if the organization wants to 'make accessible PDFS' label then it pays transport costs - Adobe Pro, training, workflow appropriate, etc.
    which allow the delivery of PDF files meet the standards to which formed a well containing the tag output is PDF (accessible is a subset of this).
    There is no other way for PDF.
    If this cannot be done so there are always HTML as an acceptable method (for some it's the way privileged and only 'true').

    However, HTML is 'right' for accessiblilty is just as demanding in its own way.

    With each version of TA / dot release, JAWS - Windows Eyes - NVDA & others hone in on using PDF ISO 32000 Standard closer.
    This means that if you deploy "accessible" PDF, you will need to provide PDFS who live ISO.
    Do not forget that the paragraphs of S508 began when, in fact, HTML was 'it '. In terms of software that has been there are geological ages.
    For contemporary AT effectively analyze the PDF, the PDF file must be a PDF containing the tag well trained with a format/layout that reflects a logical hierarchy.
    Creation of all that it should start in the environment of creation with the author of the content.
    PDF post-processing output then ensures that the elements (tags) PDF are of the correct type, have the required attributes, etc..
    Without this, AT will not be able to provide the use of effect for the end user of the PDF file.

    So, for AT correctly 'work' the PDF file, elements of * must * have set the Scope attribute, values of row value and scope of column defined, etc..

    Scope, line Span, range column, ID of the Table and headers must be added in the framework of the post-processing in a PDF using Acrobat Professional.
    An alternative is the plugin Netcentric CommonLook for Acrobat Professional. What it does, Acrobat Pro can do; However, the CommonLook
    provides a robust user interface. Disadvantage: some 1 k $ per seat is not 'cheap' and it has a * steep learning curve * (Sitka Pass?).

  • How to remove 'Save as PDF' from the popup menu

    The item 'Save as PDF' leads to a shopping site called NITRO. I'm trying to eliminate it from the context menu. I installed the add-on Menu Edit and changed the item save as PDF from the visible to hidden on my PC Windows with Firefox 30 8.1. However, the issue has not disappeared from the context menu. Still on my PC with Linux Mint 17 with 30 Firefox for Linux Mint, the point went on the shortcut menu. My PC s linked with Firefox Synch.

    How can I remove this?

    Such an entry in the context menu is probably added by a PDF file about the extension, in order to check your extensions.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    Weird printing problem

    Good, in Windows Vista and using a printer HP Deskjet 645c with the updated driver, here's the weirdness:

    When printing from Word 2007, Wordpad and Notepad, the sheet through the printer appear in print, but no printing actually takes place. Same for the two existing documents and those newly created. On the other hand, everything prints normally IE8, Firefox and Adobe Reader. Reinstalled the printer driver and also to delete the Word data key in the registry. No love. Automated ran, troubleshooting of MS, but still no love because he found no problem. Someone at - it a good idea? Seems there must be something in common between Word, Wordpad and Notepad, which I suppose are at least somewhat in the code, or perhaps in the way they approach the printer driver.

    Hi TNCharlie,

    1. open a new blank document in Word.

    2. on the first line of the document, type the following text:

    = Rand (10)

    3. press ENTER. This inserts 10 paragraphs of the sample text.

    4. try to print the document.

    5. If the document prints correctly, replace it with another font or insert a clip art image, a table, or a drawn object

  • Italics in creating a PDF from Word

    I have a client that uses a specialized police.  This is a license (including italic, bold and bold italic) and in the directory.

    Using Microsoft Word 2010 on Windows 7, the function "Create a PDF file" changes all instances of the police in slanted/sloped Roman Italic; bold and bold italic function as expected.  It seems to be unique to the function of Word: I can open the files in OpenOffice, use its PDF Creator, and italics out (even if other things on the file are problematic). The problem occurs with several parameters to create a PDF file, including Standard, print and press.  Coating (or desincorporation) forcing the police doesn't seem to work.  Suggestions elsewhere on the forum for similar problems, I tried to copy or link the font files in the folder of files shared/fonts from Adobe; that did not help, either.  I reinstalled the police a couple of times, and the problem persists.

    I don't really know what I'm doing and it's quite possible that there is a very easy solution here; any help would be appreciated!

    In case someone ever crosses this problem (another symptom: If in the editing of text in Adobe, you deitalicize and reitalicize the text tilted artificially, it gets replaced by the true italics, so that the computer knows clearly the existence of italic), I discovered that he strives to do not use functions "Create a PDF file" or "Save as Adobe PDF" in Word , but rather use generic "Save as", then choose PDF as the file type.  It uses underlying italics, without the artificial obliques.
