Word 2003 to Acrobat 5.0
I am converting Word 2003 documents to Acrobat 5.0 via Distiller.
I used Words bullets feature extensively in the documents, but these do not appear in the PDFs. Could this perhaps be a compatibility issue between the older version of Acrobat and the newer version of Word? If so, how can I fix it so the all-important bullets appear? -- DavidTJ |

Word 2003 to Acrobat 5.0
I've often had this problem--graphics not converting to the PDF from my
original documents. The only thing that solved this for me was getting Acrobat Professional 7.0. I haven't had the problem since. Sorry I don't have any other suggestions. |

Word 2003 to Acrobat 5.0
Are you using the macros built into the add-in to convert to PDF? If not, do
so. If you have not already upgraded the add-in you will need to do that also. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org DavidTJ wrote: I am converting Word 2003 documents to Acrobat 5.0 via Distiller.

Word 2003 to Acrobat 5.0
This was a really helpful answer - thank you. I do have Macromedia Flashpaper
installed (I assume that was what you meant...) and that adds the option to 'Convert to PDF'. Previously I had been using the Acrobat Distiler print option and hitting the graphical problems I originally described. But with Flashpaper, which I'd never tried before, the conversion seems to work perfectly and the bullets etc all seem to be there. I'll complete the (extensive) job I'm doing and see how it goes and will then add a final comment (hopefully saying: 'job done'!) to close this thread. Anyway, thanks again, your help was brill. -- DavidTJ "Graham Mayor" wrote: Are you using the macros built into the add-in to convert to PDF? If not, do so.

Word 2003 to Acrobat 5.0
Hi there, thanks for this. I did think strongly about buying Acrobat Pro 7.0
but was put off by some very technically well-informed reviews that expressed real concern about the bloated and invasive nature of version 7.0. There are enough darned things slowing down my system already without adding any more, so I figured that upgrading should be my final resort, not the first one. Perhaps your experience of version 7.0 has been positive, though - I'd certainly be interested to hear from you about it. -- DavidTJ "KC" wrote: I've often had this problem--graphics not converting to the PDF from my original documents.

Ah - it went wrong. Later files in the project would not convert to PDF using
Flashpaper. All that happens is that Word's Reviewing mode is turned on! That is really weird, isn't it? -- DavidTJ "DavidTJ" wrote: This was a really helpful answer - thank you.

Word 2003 to Acrobat 5.0
Flashpaper was not what I meant. I know nothing about that - though I see a
potential for conflict. I meant the Acrobat add-in which puts Adobe's PDF creation macros on the toolbar. Use these instead of printing to Distiller. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org DavidTJ wrote: This was a really helpful answer - thank you.

See http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/323749.html "PDFMaker is
unavailable in an Office application (Acrobat 5.x on Windows XP, 2000)". pmt wrote: how does get the add-it to put the PDF macro on toolbar? is it an upgrade or a download to adobe acrobat 5.0. thanks. |

Word 2003 to Acrobat 5.0
Acrobat 5 pre-dates Office 2003 so its installation routine does not
recognize the correct folder for the add-in. That add-in (PDFMaker.dot) should go in the Office startup folder - C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\STARTUP. Ensure also that Acrobat 5 is fully updated. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org pmt wrote: how does get the add-it to put the PDF macro on toolbar? is it an upgrade or a download to adobe acrobat 5.0. thanks.
