word and Adobe Acrobat
I use word 2000 to write my catalog and then convert it to a PDF file using
Adobe Acrobat 5.0 I have done this successfully for over 6 years, without ever having a problem! All of sudden, word docs can not be converted. Adobe reports the word doc is corrupt. I sent the error report to Microsoft and they say office 2000 is causing the problem and to correct it I should upgrade to office 2007 because it is supported and office 2000 is not. They do not say the problem will be eliminated if I upgrade to office 2007, just that I will then be eligible for support with the problem. The program was running fine with no problems. Somehow a Microsoft download caused this problem. I cant afford to buy office 2007 just to let Microsoft try to help correct a problem they caused. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Frankie -- I need all the help I can get, and truly do appreciate it. |

Word 2000 will not be patched. That's a done deal. Since it was released,
there has been Word 2002, 2003, and now 2007. Ditto for Acrobat. You're several versions behind there too. Have you sent this document to anyone else and asked them to see if they get the same error? -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Frankie" wrote in message ...

word and Adobe Acrobat
Is Adobe reporting that *all* Word documents are corrupted, or just this
one? Any idea of which Microsoft download might have caused the problem? If you're really at wit's end, you might download and install the free Open Office, and see if you can use it to produce your catalog. (I certainly can't blame you for not wanting to upgrade if what you have was working fine, but suddenly "broke" without your having done something to break it.) -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Frankie" wrote in message ...

word and Adobe Acrobat
If you upgrade to Word 2007, Acrobat 5 will no longer work. You need Acrobat
8.1 for compatibility and that could prove expensive. If you have Windows XP and System Restore running, you could restore to a time when you knew it was working and be careful about what updates you add. You could try downloading the free PrimoPDF and 'print' to that. If that doesn't work, there is something wrong with your document - probably some form of corruption. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Frankie wrote: I use word 2000 to write my catalog and then convert it to a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat 5.0 I have done this successfully for over 6 years, without ever having a problem!

word and Adobe Acrobat
I use Acrobat Professional 7 with Word 2007, and it works fine for how I use
it. But, I've never used the Adobe toolbar in Word (just the printer driver), so I'm probably easier to please than most. I'm not about to fork out the $$$ for 8.1 unless I absolutely positively need it. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

word and Adobe Acrobat
Thanks for this.
I know Word 2000 will not be patched. If I upgrade to 2007 my Adobe won't work. But what if I just upgrade to 2003? Have not yet sent the doc to anyone to see if they have the same problem but have it on a floppy and will do so. But what if it works fine for them? That would just mean they have not downloaded something that I did. If they do have the same problem I guess it would mean the word doc somehow has been corrupted. But how wouold I fix it?

It's the ribbon entry that 8.1 provides for Office 2007 - and very neat it
is too - but if you don't need it ........

Thanks for your participation Herb:
It happens EVERY TIME to ALL word docs I try to convert to a Adobe PDF file. The message from Adobe is: Acrobat could not open document because it is either not a supported file or has been corrupted for example sent as an e-mail attachment and not correctly decoded My guess is the problem was caused by an office update o2ksr1a downloaded some time ago. I did a search and cant find it to delete. The free open office sounds great. How do I download and install it? Frankie -- I need all the help I can get, and truly do appreciate it.

Thanks Graham:
I tried to restore to an earlier date but apparently the problem occurred earlier than my system restore will go back. I was thinking of uninstalling and reinstalling both office 2000 and adobe but am not sure that will work either. How do I download the free PrimoPDF ?? Yes there now all my word docs are corrupted. I just cant figure out who they got that way, or what I can do to correct it. Thanks again I need all the help I can get, and truly do appreciate it.

OpenOffice is he http://www.openoffice.org/
I'm not sure if this has been suggested yet... but what happens if you start Word with the /a switch (winword.exe /a)? Does this let you produce the pdf catalog correctly? The /a switch suppresses certain settings, and normal.dot (not sure if this suppresses the Adobe Acrobat 5 add-in, too, in which case this solution won't help much). If the Adobe toolbar isn't present, then try File - Print - Adobe PDF Printer (not sure what version 5 was called), instead. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Frankie" wrote in message ...

You can download the free PrimoPDF from http://www.primopdf.com/
However if your documents are corrupt it will not help. Are you sure they are corrupt? Have you saved them to floppy - that would corrupt them?

If you have Windows XP and System Restore running, you could restore to a time when you knew it was working and be careful about what updates you add. You could try downloading the free PrimoPDF and 'print' to that. If that doesn't work, there is something wrong with your document - probably some form of corruption. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Frankie wrote: I use word 2000 to write my catalog and then convert it to a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat 5.0 I have done this successfully for over 6 years, without ever having a problem! All of sudden, word docs can not be converted. Adobe reports the word doc is corrupt. I sent the error report to Microsoft and they say office 2000 is causing the problem and to correct it I should upgrade to office 2007 because it is supported and office 2000 is not. They do not say the problem will be eliminated if I upgrade to office 2007, just that I will then be eligible for support with the problem. The program was running fine with no problems. Somehow a Microsoft download caused this problem. I can't afford to buy office 2007 just to let Microsoft try to help correct a problem they caused. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Frankie |
