Hi fellas!
I've installed Microsoft Office 2007 and when I insert an equation and want to convert it to PDF format (Office Add-in PDF convertor), Adobe Acrobat does not show anything. What's the problem??? Thanks in advance... |

Click on the Pizza Button at the top left of the screen and then in the
bottom border of the dialog, click on Word Options and then on the Display item and make sure that the "Print drawing objects created in Word" box is checked in the Printing options section of the dialog. -- Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, the only font available for the new equation authoring tool in Word 2007 doesn't convert to PDF. It doesn't matter if you're using the built-in "save as PDF" function or if you're using the full version of Acrobat 8 Professional. Your equations won't show up. This is true when printing to some printers as well. For example, my HP DJ1200 won't print equations, but my Dell 3100cn will. If you need to make PDFs from your Word documents with equations, I suggest one of two methods. One method is to use the "old" equation editor. This is the same one that was in previous versions of Word, and goes by either "Equation Editor" or "Microsoft Equation 3.0". You get to Equation Editor by selecting the "Insert" tab on the Word Ribbon. In the Text group, click Object, then choose "Microsoft Equation 3.0" from the list and click OK. The other option is to use MathType, which is made by the same company as Equation Editor, but with more features. If you don't own MathType, you can try it out for 30 days for free. Just click the link in my signature. As an aside, if you're using PowerPoint, the "new" equation tool isn't accessible from PowerPoint, but both Equation Editor and MathType are. -- Bob Mathews Director of Training Design Science, Inc. bobm at dessci.com http://www.dessci.com/free.asp?free=news FREE fully-functional 30-day evaluation of MathType 5 MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor, TeXaide |

Just testing here, using Snagit (from www.techsmith.com), you can print a
document to a .pdf file and the equations will be included. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Hi Bob,
I just took your word for Adobe not being able to do it, and maybe you are correct for the version that you mentioned, and maybe we are talking about different equations. However, inserting the equation for a Fourier Series from the Equation Pulldown in the Symbols section of the Insert tab of the ribbon, and then printing the document with the Adobe PDF Printer from Adobe 6.0, the equation is present in the document produced. -- Hope this helps.

Doug,
Thanks for checking. I know that when I evaluated Office 2007 for our company last December, this didn't work. I was using a released version (not a beta). I just tried it again, using both Acrobat 8 Professional and Word's Save as PDF function. It worked in both cases, though both cases failed in December under similar circumstances. I can only assume that one of the "update Tuesday" updates must have fixed it since then. That's good to know. (However, I only show one update -- KB933493 -- and that was for Outlook 2007.) Curious, I tried printing the same document to my trusty HP LJ1200, and this time it definitely didn't print the equations. I've got the most up-to-date driver for the printer. The PDFs printed fine; the docx didn't. -- Bob Mathews Director of Training Design Science, Inc. bobm at dessci.com http://www.dessci.com/free.asp?free=news FREE fully-functional 30-day evaluation of MathType 5 MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor, TeXaide |

Hi Bob!
Does MathType v5.2c support Word 2007? How can I insert the equations into Word 2007? Bye the way, Are there any fixes for this Add-in PDF convertor? If not, how can I contact Microsoft office support team through e-mail? Thanks a lot... |

Since MathType 5.2 was released before Word 2007, its integration isn't automatic like it is with earlier versions of Word. We have an article on our web site that shows how to use it with Word 2007 and PowerPoint 2007: http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mat...tsn/tsn123.htm Bye the way, Are there any fixes for this Add-in PDF convertor? If not, how can I contact Microsoft office support team through e-mail? Well as it turns out, I gave out some old information. I normally make PDFs with Word 2003 and Acrobat 8, but in December when I tried it with Word 2007 and Acrobat 8, the text of the document showed up in the PDF just fine, but the equations didn't. (These were equations that were created with Word 2007's equation tool, not with MathType.) Someone pointed out that he didn't have any problem with PDFs, so I tried it again, and it works. So I'm not sure if Microsoft patched it, or if I did something wrong the first time. I just know it works now. It also works if you use Word 2007's "Save as PDF" feature. If you're going to use Acrobat to make PDFs with MathType equations, we have an article about that as well: http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/TSN69.htm -- Bob Mathews Director of Training Design Science, Inc. bobm at dessci.com http://www.dessci.com/free.asp?free=news FREE fully-functional 30-day evaluation of MathType 5 MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor, TeXaide |
