"It is not feasable to edit 200+ tables in the PDF every time the PDF is generated, as we maintain the original in word. however converted pdf prints perfectly fineĪdobe know about the bug, per PRMW's (Paul's) post on 15:44:34, however only offered a painful time consuming workaround using non-freeware Adobe Pro: each conversion, diff lines missing/incorrectly sized 'displays' NO top cell border for some/all shaded rows shaded subheadings, black outline border Trying to convert any word doc with tables (& shading) to PDF I look forward to a better resolution of this problem that has wasted far too much of my valuble time.Ĭonverting Word (table) to pdf - lines screwed up - googled as far back as 2004. I consider this an unsatisfactory resoponse from a major product supplier. This complete issue seems to have been passed off by Adobe as no problem and that there is a work around. It is not feasable to edit 200+ tables in the PDF every time the PDF is generated, as we maintain the original in word. If there is no correction to this error then I will have to look for a alternative PDF converter, or have to find a new electronic format to publish the document. If you de-merge the cells and put the text in the individual cells and remove the internal lines of the group of cells then the PDF is again even worse, with white spaces in the boarder where the horizontal lines are not used. When the table has merged cells and shading the problem is even worse.
This is clearly an error in the PDF conversion routine, putting a line on top of the boarder.
If the colored lines are selected and deleted then the table looks Ok at all zoom factors. Sometimes this line is partialy over the top of the black line making it thinner, sometimes it totally obscures the line. There are two line at the top of the shaded cells the black boarder and another line the same color as the shading. If I edit the PDF and use "Tools" "Advance Editing" "Touchup Object Tool" the problem is shown to be the conversion into PDF. etc.Īfter conversion I salways have problems. I have tried many different formats, defining row height, using paragraph formatting, etc. If a take a table that has a problem then create a document and paste the table in a number of times after conversion, the table may be Ok depending where it is on the page! The customer has complained about how the tables look when view on their computers. The PDF file prints correctly, but I have to deliver the file both as a printed document and an electronic version. When I convert to PDF there are many tables with missing lines or different thicknesses, when viewed at 100%. I have a large document in Microsoft Word wiith many tables all using shading. It does improve the issue, not does not solve it. The suggested fix does not work all the time.
I can even arrange to share a sample Word doc if someone wanted to play around with it themselves. pdf'ing them from that with no help.Īny help you can offer would be appreciated. I even tried opening them in open office and. I also tried PDF Creator and the same thing happened. that did work for the table lines, they all came in quite nicely but there is no way that I can see to embed the fonts in a post script. I have also tried post scripting the file first then distilling it with distiller. once I get down to 300 some lines improve however again it is a random result and not all improve.īesides my own custom settings I have tried all of the standard settings in acrobat such as "smallest file size" "press quality" ect. I have tried lowering the dpi settings from the default 2400 all the way down to 72 the minimum in increments of 100. pdf the line weight randomly gets lighter or dissapears on the screen until it is blown up past 160% then you can see them all, when you print the files they print just fine. all goes well accept for the tables, When the tables are converted to. Once that is done I clean up the text and formating and then re-.pdf the files. pdf and OCR'd them using ABBYY Finereader 8.0 corporate. Now that that is out of the way I have taken the unintelligent. pdf and the pdf must have all of the fonts embedded. pdf files and convert them to a word doc and then re-.pdf them to intelligent.
