Word2007 does auto open PDF after Save as command
Can anybody help with this little problemette !
I originally had Adobe Reader 9.2 that would open automatically when I created a PDF from Word2007 using the Save as command. But now it won't open automatically. I (maybe stupidly) installed Adobe Reader 5 to try to open an old PDF that I was sent, but unistalled it when I discovered that the file was corrupt. Now when I try to create a PDF using Word2007 running on Window Vista, Adobe Reader 9.2 will not launch automatically. Any thoughts ? Cheers Sean |

Word2007 does auto open PDF after Save as command
Does Word 2007 offer any kind of PDF-creation settings? I know that Acrobat
has a radio button ("View Adobe PDF result") to choose whether a newly created PDF is automatically opened in Acrobat for viewing. -- Suzanne S.

Word2007 does auto open PDF after Save as command
Hello Suzanne
In Word2007 when you select Save as, a number of options appear in an expanded menu. This offers PDF or XPS. When I select Save as PDF or XPS a dialog appears including a greyed out 'Open file after publishing'. I have a suspicion that when I installed the Adobe Reader version 5 it broke the automatic links to the Adobe Reader version 9.2, but this is only my opinion. Does this makes sense ? Sean "Suzanne S.

Word2007 does auto open PDF after Save as command
Hello Suzanne
Sorry I didn't make myself clear, I do understand what you mean. What I should have said is that I have already REinstalled Adobe Reader 9.2. It appears as a shortcut on my desktop, and in the Control Panel. I could uninstall it again and then REINSTALL it again just as a sanity check, but it does exist in my program files. "Suzanne S.

Word2007 does auto open PDF after Save as command
Sorry Suzanne
I got a bit finger happy and pressed POST before signing off. Anyway, what I maybe should have also said is that the PDF will not automatically open when I use the Save as PDF or XPS command in any Office application, Word2007, Powerpoint, Excel, and etc. I guess that it makes no difference really but just thought it may be something you have seen before.

Word2007 does auto open PDF after Save as command
Assuming you have checked the box in the save as PDF dialog, then the
opening of the PDF depends on the file association in the registry, and it was this that repairing/re-installing of Adobe Reader should address ... but it may not. You may have to manually fix the association. The procedure is essentially that shown at http://www.gmayor.com/Document_Not_Found.htm, albeit that concerns the Word application and not Adobe. There should be enough information there to enable you to make the changes for PDF file types. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Sean wrote: Sorry Suzanne I got a bit finger happy and pressed POST before signing off.

Word2007 does auto open PDF after Save as command
Hello Graham
Actually, the funny thing is that the Save as dialog does have an 'Open file after publishing' checkbox but it is disabled in all Office applications. Unfortunately, I can't recall if it is greyed out by default or if during the process of installing, uninstalling and reinstalling different versions of Adobe Reader it has 'broken'. I did post the question on the Adobe Forum and got very little help, just saying it was a Microsoft problem, Anyway, I will attempt your suggestion, with fingers crossed.

Word2007 does auto open PDF after Save as command
Hello again
Just looked tooked through your suggested instruction, and got a bit confused as to which Adobe section I should have been looking at in Regedit, but did notice that the Adobe set of values do not include the /dde.

Word2007 does auto open PDF after Save as command
The checkbox may be missing because there is no file association in the
registry for PDF, or it may be missing because of a problem either with the Word data key in the registry - http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm or because there is a problem with the plug-in. First things first. If from Windows Explorer you click a PDF file. Does it open? If not right click and choose "Open With ..." Drill down the list (or browse for) the Adober Reader application. Check the box for 'Always open with this application'. Reader should now open the file. If it does, close it again and click the PDF file once more. Does it now open in PDF? If it does, check whether the check box in Word is now available. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Sean wrote: Hello Graham Actually, the funny thing is that the Save as dialog does have an 'Open file after publishing' checkbox but it is disabled in all Office applications.

Word2007 does auto open PDF after Save as command
Don't worry Graham, I know my limitations, opening Regedit and looking at the
values is as far as I go without an MVP talking me through it step by step. I can categorcially say that PDF Reader opens automatically everytime I double-click a PDF icon, without any prompt asking if I want this a default or anything. I have also set the default Adobe Reader 9.2 as the default application, but the 'Open file after publishing' is still greyed out. By the way, thanks for the help Sean "Graham Mayor" wrote: The checkbox may be missing because there is no file association in the registry for PDF, or it may be missing because of a problem either with the Word data key in the registry - http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm or because there is a problem with the plug-in. First things first. If from Windows Explorer you click a PDF file. Does it open? If not right click and choose "Open With ..." Drill down the list (or browse for) the Adober Reader application. Check the box for 'Always open with this application'. Reader should now open the file. If it does, close it again and click the PDF file once more. Does it now open in PDF?

Word2007 does auto open PDF after Save as command
I fear then that you are going to have to delve into the registry to rename
(or delete) the Word 12 data key and/or reinstall the PDF plug-in. You will need to close Word (and Outlook) first then press CTRL+Alt+Del and ensure there are no winword.exe processes still running. Delete any temporary files associated with Word - http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm Then run the registry editor and locate the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord\Data Right click the Data entry in the left window and Rename to OldData. Close the registry editor and restart Word. Has that fixed it? If it has, then ensure that you check Word Options has your preferred settings - particularly the prompt to save the normal template option - before closing Word. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Sean wrote: Don't worry Graham, I know my limitations, opening Regedit and looking at the values is as far as I go without an MVP talking me through it step by step.

Word2007 does auto open PDF after Save as command
Well Graham,
Good try, but the 'Open file after publishing' checkbox is still greyed out and it still won't automatically open the PDF when I use the Save as PDF or XPS. I now have 2 registry entries (as you would expect, Data and OldData) in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord section.

As that didn't work, you can delete the new Data key and rename the old one
back to Data to recover your previous settings.

I originally had Adobe Reader 9.2 that would open automatically when I created a PDF from Word2007 using the Save as command. But now it won't open automatically. I (maybe stupidly) installed Adobe Reader 5 to try to open an old PDF that I was sent, but unistalled it when I discovered that the file was corrupt. Now when I try to create a PDF using Word2007 running on Window Vista, Adobe Reader 9.2 will not launch automatically. Any thoughts ? Cheers Sean . . . . . . |

Word2007 does auto open PDF after Save as command
Just so I understand, is that what we have just done, or
is there somewhere I have to look to find the PDF plugin to uninstall it ?

No - we have not addressed the mechanism for re-installing the plug-in yet.
You can uninstall it from the Windows Control Panel add or remove programs applet.

Please clarify which problem you are seeing with PDF creation.
Recent versions of Word do not require that you install an add-in for PDF creation, if that's what you're asking. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message ...
