Word file not converting to pdf - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

Question
A richly formatted, 30-page document I’ve frequently saved as a PDF will not now export from Word 2016.

Whether I choose File > Export > Create PDF/XPS or File > Save As, this error appears as soon as I click Save or Publish: «The export failed due to an unexpected error.»

If I print to CutePDF — or try to print the document to a physical printer — Word errors with «There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate or print this document.» There’s 50+GB of free disk space on the C: drive and 4GB (49%) of free
memory.

Cycling the PC did not affect this. I opened the file from its network location with Word 2010 and saved it to PDF without a problem.

Answers

It’s possible the document has acquired some for of corruption, or that there’s a fault in the Office installation itself.

Corrupt documents can often be ‘repaired’ by inserting a new, empty, paragraph at the very end, copying everything except that new paragraph to a new document based on the same template (headers & footers may need to be copied separately), closing the
old document and saving the new one over it.

You can repair a faulty Office installation via Start > Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > Microsoft Office (version) > Change>Repair.

Other errors can be cause by third-party Addins such as Digital Guardian Agent. Uninstalling or upgrading to the latest available version of the Addin may resolve the issue.

Add New Question

Question

Why doesn’t Microsoft Word give me the option to «Save as PDF» in the file menu?

A special type of software (technically called add-in) has the ability to convert Microsoft Word documents to PDF. However, Word 2007 does not include this add-in by default. To convert to PDF with Microsoft Word 2007, you have to download the add-in from Microsoft’s website.
Question

I need to convert a PDF file to a Microsoft Word document. Is there a way to do this?

Open up your PDF document and select «Save as —> Word Document.» You’ll need to clean it up afterwards (remove paragraph signs, reformat, etc.).
Question

How do I fix the glitches and formatting errors that show up in the new PDF file?

The latest versions (after MS Office 2007) allow you to save the document as a pdf, thus avoiding formatting errors. Go to Files->Save As and select «.pdf format» from Save As Type. Click to save.

To open your PDF in your computer’s default PDF reader, simply double-click it; if you have more than one PDF reader, you may be prompted to select one after double-clicking the PDF.
You can also use the «Save as» menu to convert your Word document to a PDF on a Windows computer.

When converting sensitive documents (e.g., credit card statements), avoid using SmallPDF. While their site is secure, it’s best to keep such documents offline as much as possible.

Mac PDFMaker add-in is disabled after upgrading to 64-bit Office 2016

If your Office 2016 for Mac is upgraded to the 64-bit version from the 32-bit version, the PDFMaker add-in for Word and PowerPoint appears disabled. The add-in button in the ribbon is grayed out. It happens because the add-in is compatible only with the 32-bit version of Office 2016.

Adobe is aware of this problem, and working to make the add-in compatible with the 64-bit version of Office 2016 in a future release of Acrobat.

Opening a Word file results in an error — «Compile error in hidden module»

If you upgraded your Office 2016 to 64-bit and you have Acrobat installed, you see the following error message when you open a Word file:

Compile error

Solution: Download and apply the latest patch

The problem is fixed in the latest patch of Acrobat. Download and apply the patch to resolve the problem. Download the patch from here — https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/acrobat-dc-august-02-2016.html.

С проблемой несовместимости документов с расширением *.doc и *.docx сталкиваются все пользователи ПК, работающие в текстовом редакторе. Особые трудности с открытием файлов возникают при пересылке данных, когда отправитель не знает, какая именно версия Microsoft Word используется получателем. Чтобы избежать недоразумений, передают объекты в формате *.pdf. Документы с таким расширением обязательно откроются на ПК. Выясним, как преобразовать Word в PDF различными способами.

Способ №1: используя Microsoft Office

Работая с текстовым редактором Microsoft Word, можно научиться сохранять данные в различных форматах. В перечне типов файлов есть и PDF. Алгоритм сохранения данных следующий:

Открыть файл Word;
В горизонтальном меню найти блок «Файл», перейти;
Выбрать пункт «Сохранить как»;
Указать «Компьютер»;
Внизу списка найти и нажать кнопку «Обзор»;
В новом окне найти поле «Тип файла» и Открыть стрелочкой меню;
Выбрать из списка PDF и нажать «Сохранить».

Далее проверить, что в указанной при сохранении объекта папке появился новый документ с расширением *.pdf. Пользоваться встроенным функционалом Microsoft Office и удобно, и безопасно.

Способ №2: используя онлайн-сервисы

Если с пересохранением в редакторе Microsoft Office возникли проблемы, можно воспользоваться специальными онлайн ресурсами. Поиск в Интернете выдаст огромное количество сервисов. Но не все они окажутся полезными и понятными. Среди русскоязычных ресурсов с понятным интерфейсом и быстрой конвертацией, можно выделить следующие три:

https://www.pdf2go.com/ru/word-to-pdf;
https://pdf.io/ru/doc2pdf/;
https://smallpdf.com/ru/word-to-pdf.

Наиболее простым считается сервис pdf.io/ru/doc2pdf. У него максимально облегченный интерфейс — всего одна активная кнопка. Есть возможность загружать объекты как с дисков компьютера, так и с Google Диск, Dropbox и др. Алгоритм работы с онлайн сервисом следующий:

Перейти по ссылке;
Нажать на кнопку «Выбрать файл»;
В новом окне указать путь к документу, указать «Открыть»;
Нажать на кнопку «Скачать».

Сохраненный в новом формате объект попадет в папку «Загрузки», если при настройке браузера не был указан иной путь хранения данных. Время конвертирования зависит от размера исходного документа. Если процедура занимает несколько минут, это нормально. Этим способом преобразования данных из *.docx в *.pdf можно воспользоваться при стабильном доступе к сети.

Способ №3: используя сторонние программные продукты

Для того чтобы преобразовать ПДФ в Ворд, можно применять функциональное вспомогательное программное обеспечение. Оно устанавливается на ПК отдельно. Среди предлагаемых разработчиками программ, внимание стоит обратить на Smallpdf. Софт распространяется в сети бесплатно, имеет стандартную инсталляцию и дружелюбный интерфейс. Новичкам в вопросах конвертации данных будет несложно разобраться с меню программного продукта. Но все-таки главное его преимущество — независимость от Интернета.

Официальный сайт для загрузки: https://smallpdf.com/ru/desktop

Скачайте и установите программу;
В блоке слева указать «Office to PDF»;
В меню «File» выбрать пункт «Open» или в центральном блоке «Choose Files»;
В новом окне указать путь к объекту и выбрать «Select»;
Нажать на кнопку «Convert 1 file».

Конвертация выполнится в течение нескольких секунд. Объект пересохраняется в новом формате в ту же папке, где находится оригинал (если не выбран новый путь). Если местоположение документа забыто, программа подскажет, куда была сохранена информация. Для этого нужно нажать в центральном блоке на иконку папки рядом с названием преобразованного файла.

Способ №4: используя Google Диск

Очень удобный способ пересохранения документов Microsoft Word в ПДФ. Но он зависим от стабильной работы Интернета. Если доступ к сети есть, аккаунт зарегистрирован, конвертация займет не больше 2 минут. Действуют так:

Войти в аккаунт Google;
Перейти в Google Диск;
В левом блоке меню нажать на кнопку «Создать»;
Выбрать «Загрузить файлы» и открыть добавленный объект;
Нажать на кнопку «Открыть в приложении» (кнопка расположена по середине в верхней части);
Перейти в меню «Файл», далее Выбрать «Скачать как» и указать «Документ PDF».

Файл отправится в загрузку и будет доступен вам в нужном формате. Важные и объемные документы лучше преобразовывать при помощи встроенной функции Microsoft Office или Google Диск. Использование этих ресурсов не приведет к потере данных, сократит время на установку дополнительного софта.

PDF is one of the best ways to save a document into. Why? Because PDFs are secure, fast, and easy to create. The best thing about using PDF is the fact that it’s universal and can be found in most applications available today. You can “save as PDF” or “print to PDF” anytime with the build-in save to PDF function on your software.

Commonly, this save to PDF function is seen in Word, Excel, and other common processors alike. It has been accessible to convert however, there might have been some issues rising with the built-in method. But don’t worry, here at DeftPDF we aim to help you solve them.

What are these issues and how do we solve them?

1. Italics, Bold, Underline, and Fonts are not followed

There have been some issues rising that when you italicize or change the font in some sentences in MS Word and save it into PDF, the italicization is dropped and it returns to its normal font state.

Why does this happen?

This usually happens when the font styles embedded in Word templates are used. Basically, the fonts in Word are available for content in Word but not instantly embedded in PDF. When converting from Word to PDF, the save as function does not readily always bring in the font. What it does is bring in the content only.

How to fix it?

If “saving as PDF” doesn’t bring in the fonts and format, then using another method to convert would be the call to action. For fonts, ensure that they are embedded in the document by using the export method. This method ensures that fonts and formatting are preserved.

2. Links are removed when converted

Sometimes when you convert from Word to PDF, the links do not work properly and become regular text instead of a clickable link that allows you to jump from one page to another.

Why does this happen?

Possible reasons that could affect the links involve the lack of detail – meaning the long link added was not complete or the prefix (https:// or http://) was not correctly typed in. Sometimes the text containing the link is separated by line breaks or perhaps cover too much text to link in. But the most common mistake made by authors is to use the “print to PDF” method instead of saving it as a PDF. To explain this, print to PDF method mimics printed documents in its digital form. A printed material does not contain hyperlinks, therefore removed from the resulting PDF.

How to fix it?

Since we know that the lack of detail can be the source of all broken links, then the initial action that needs to be taken should be to check if all information is correctly inserted and if formatting does not affect it. Make sure to put a space before and after the text hyperlinked and avoid breaking the content. Moreover, save your Word to PDF using “Save as” instead of “print to PDF” to keep the links intact.

3. Conversion Problems

It can be as bad as having a corrupted PDF, an image that does not show when viewed or it could be having a PDF that is too slow to load. When this happens, not all of your readers can view the file and they may possibly see some missing pieces in the content.

Why does this happen?

The possible reason for such a result boils down to one reason alone – content. The Word document you are trying to convert to PDF may have too many graphics or complex content, having too much media or objects attached that cannot be supported by the processor. When using online PDF converters, a failed connection or a disrupted internet connection can also affect the process and may result to a corrupted file.

How to fix it?

One way to fix this is to lessen the vector or graphics contained in the file. Some data are bigger than others so it is best to observe which causes the PDF to load slowly and reduce it. Simplified design and flattening graphics can also reduce data from multi-layer designs, making it much faster to load. Flattening graphics means simplifying data, which you could achieve by using the Print to PDF method. This basically loses all embeddings and converts it as a printed digital file. Compression is also one of the solutions you can look into. Making the file size smaller also helps with the loading issue.

4. One file becomes multiple PDFs

Saving to PDF should have only one resulting PDF file but if your document results in multiple cut-up files, then there’s some error in your settings.

Why is this happening?

There are either too many page breaks or too many sections in your document and the processor sees it as a queue to cut up the content into different files. This is not a default setting though and should not appear as multiple documents in one but when the printer’s settings are changed once, it could retain the variations and cause these deviations.

How to fix it?

Before printing to PDF, you need to change the paper setting and use standard Letter paper size. Sometimes using a4 paper can affect the resulting file if there are page breaks. If this doesn’t work, you can also extract the text by using PDF to text converters. This will ensure that all formatting will be neutral and only the text content will be gained. Then you can paste the text back to Word in its clean slate, and save it as a PDF. This won’t result in a PDF with pre-installed layout issues because it only contains the text.

5. Comments and markups are gone

When reviewing Word documents, you can always add comments and markups on the content so you can retaliate with a co-author about the changes that need to be made. When saving it to PDF though, these markups do not automatically come with the content and usually disappear. The resulting PDF would only show content and the final changes.

Why is this happening?

Comments and markups by default are not shown by Word processors. This is only a matter of changing settings in the software and could be enabled in a few clicks.

How to fix it?

Click “Review” then select “Track Changes.” This will now show all the changes made in the document in red ink. Then click “All markup” from the dropdown list. This will enable all comments and markups to be shown. When you click “save as PDF” then it will save it as how it sees it in actual – with comments in the review pane and markups within the content.

The best way to fix conversion problems

While these techniques are provided as a solution, it may not always result in a happy ending. The best bet you can try is to use a reliable PDF converter that won’t automatically reduce the quality or change layout for your PDF. That is why DeftPDF is here for you, you can simply convert any format type and make it available in PDF with just a few clicks. With its user-friendly interface, you can easily convert anything in a few clicks. Best of all, it’s free!

Not converting word files to pdf

Hi friends,

AplhaFrog: The doc-vs-docx issue would only matter if both types were in the source folder. The macro, as is, will process .doc, .docx and .docm files alike. Changing:
strFile = Dir(strFolder & «*.doc», vbNormal)
to:
strFile = Dir(strFolder & «*.docx», vbNormal)
would limit processing to docx files, but extra code lines would be required to exclude them.

Re: Not converting word files to pdf

Hi Paul,

The code below is used to speed up the macro and hide actions/screen updating.

Still the macro is not converting word files to pdf. My word file has extension ‘docx’. So if I change the extension in our code ‘doc’ to ‘docx’ then it converts the word file to pdf successfully.

Previously it was working fine but now I don’t know what’s wrong with it.

Shall I change it ‘doc’ to ‘docx’ or any other idea?

Re: Not converting word files to pdf

Sorry, I am probably too verbose here. My only purpose is to help the OP. Comments to the experts are really just for the OP’s benefit as they well know this.

Kenneth: If you set a reference to Word, you don’t need:

Sure, I know that. Since I help so many here and there in the various forums, I sometimes do both early and late binding and forget to clean it all up on purpose. The extra code does not hurt anything.

Your code will also only process a single file.

I often program in a modular way so that I can repeat common tasks for others more quickly. It is a bit inefficient for a large number of files but shows the concept of how it is done for one and can be looped to do many. I leave it to the OP to decide if my code helps or they can post back if there is an issue.

To do a project like this in my modular approach, I would use my batch routine and iterate the array of files and call #11 code.

mso3, try using F8 to execute each line of code to see if works as expected. I would suggest putting your built pdf filename into a variable and then use Debug.Print to put a run’s result into the Immediate Window. Of course you can hold the cursor over a variable to see what it resolved to.

In concept, I believe that #12 would work too. If others are like me, when I help, I try to put some common error catching routines and sometimes not. e.g. Problems can occur when Dir() is used but then called code uses Dir(). This is a problem for the parent’s Dir() loop. Filenames may have more than one period which would cause a problem for some string splitting methods.

I guess that you have files found and that you have permission to write to that drive/folder?

PDF file extension is not always required but I add it anyway as I like to be literal. It is a habit from my old DOS days I guess.

It is a bit unclear if you want DOC, and/or DOCX files published to PDF.

When you look to see if PDF files were created, be sure to filter by *.* as *.DOC would not show them. I just mention this to be complete as I can’t see over your shoulder or know your experience level.

Do post back if you are still stuck. I can show my full solution or add a bit more code to troubleshoot #12. i may just do that anyway. Almost all of my posted code works as I test it though «works» has various meaning sometimes.

So, to wrap this up, F8 is your friend.

That code does nothing for the macro under discussion. Manipulating Excel’s Calculation state does nothing here, since Excel isn’t being updated. Likewise, manipulating Excel’s EnableEvents does nothing since the macro is using Word for the processing. As for ScreenUpdating that only applies to your Workbook and doesn’t prevent Word from doing screen updates.

Previously it was working fine but now I don’t know what’s wrong with it.

If the code has ‘stopped’ working, that’s probably because you’ve messed around with it. The code you’ve posted in this thread could never have worked — it has had fundamental flaws from the outset. If, after all the advice you’ve been given, the code still isn’t working, that’s almost certainly because you’ve specified the wrong folder or something such.

Re: Not converting word files to pdf

This adds to what Paul posted. Even this can fail if you try to open a password protected or maybe a readonly file. Dir() methods can produce results that you might not expect. That is why I left some comments in it to show how I check things.

How the other code did nothing, I don’t know. It should have showed some kind of error. Sometimes while debugging, an error occurs but things were not reset.

Normally, I use a Shell method and do a DOS Dir. Even that method will have issues sometimes. The FSO method has a filter method that is more efficient than my checking for DOC in an If().

Re: Not converting word files to pdf

Hi Paul,

I have not changed a file name or path. If I changed the extension ‘doc’ to ‘docx’ then the code you provided is working fine. Thanks for explanation of code which has no effect in word. I will avoide it.

Hi Kenneth,
I use office 2007 so the word library is 12
The code is working fine for ‘doc’ extension and not for ‘docx’ extension.

My code in post 1 works fine if I changed the extension ‘doc’ to ‘docx’
. Previously it was working fine for ‘doc & docx’ extensions in windows 7 32 bits but now in windows 7 64 bits it is not working. I have to write a separate code for each extension. I need a all in one macro as previous. If it is not possible then leave it because the thread is prolonging.

I have a question why the same code/workbook is not converting files to pdf in 64 bits as inn 32 bits previously. I have not changed the path nor the file extension.

Thanking you,

Re: Not converting word files to pdf

I suspect that your macro did «work» before because file types were not the same in that folder. The Dir() loop method will get more than just DOC files. You can see that by uncommenting the Debug.Print line. I can prove that in other ways if needed.

As I said, FileSystemObject (FSO) method has a filter than can get just those two types if you like. There are several ways to do it. e.g. In #16 code, add an OR to the If() clause.

This will find both .doc and .docx files.

Re: Not converting word files to pdf

Hi AlphaFrog,

Perfect! It’s working fine. It converts both ‘doc and docx’ extension files to pdf successfully.

@Kenneth,
Thanks for your tireless efforts to help me. I appreciate you for the same. After adding the ‘if’ ‘or’ condition it is not converting ‘docx’ file to pdf it converts only ‘doc’ file. Doesn’t matter, don’t mind.

I appreciate you all AlphaFrog, Paul and Kenneth for your kind guidance to solve the problem.

Thank you and have a nice time.

Good deal.

For kicks, here is the shell filter method that I mentioned.

Question
Hi,

wordDoc->ExportAsFixedFormat() gets hung, while trying to convert specific docx files. This is observed on windows 2012 server, MS Office 2010.

Please let me know if you want some more information. Code is in C++.

Please let me know how to attach or send the problematic document.

Note: Surprisingly
If I move the content in 42nd page to 41st page and move back to 42nd page then conversion is successful.

Thanks,

Shiva.
