1.Maintaining MS Word headers as bookmarks when converting using Distiller or Acrobat
In my job, I convert many Word documents using Distiller. The Word
documents I receive are properly formatted with headers and indents
(e.g 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.2...).
When I convert the Word doc using Distiller, I then have to manually
create the bookmarks using Acrobat 5.0. A little time consuming
considering the volume of these files I work with.
Is it possible for distiller or even Acrobat to recognise these Word
headers and then automatically insert the bookmarks based on the
headers? If not, what software do I require? Is there any free software
that would do this? If not, how much would the software cost roughly?

2.Word to PDF Issue with Acrobat Distiller
I am trying to convert word document to PDF using Acrobat Distiller. Acrobat
Distiller showing status as printing but never converts the document to PDF.
What is wrong with the below mentioned C# code. Am I passing wrong
parameters to ActiveDocument.PrintOut method?
Object printRange = WdPrintOutRange.wdPrintCurrentPage;
Object background = false;
Object append = false;
Object printFile = true;
Word.Application oWord = new Word.Application();
oWord.DisplayAlerts = WdAlertLevel.wdAlertsNone;
oWord.Visible = false;
oWord.WindowState = WdWindowState.wdWindowStateMinimize;
oWord.Documents.Open(ref wordFileName, ref missing, ref
missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
oWord.ActivePrinter = "Acrobat Distiller";
oWord.ActiveDocument.PrintOut(ref background, ref append,
ref printRange, ref pdfFileName, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref
missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
oWord.ActiveDocument.Close(ref saveChanges, ref missing, ref missing);
oWord.Quit(ref saveChanges, ref missing, ref missing);
3.i can't use my acrobat distiller 5.0 with MS word XP
I have been trying to convert my word documents to PDF
document using acrobat distiller. i already installed PDF
5.0 into my computer, but i can't find acrobat distiller
in my MS word's "print option". Does anybody know how to
work on this problem?
4.Acrobat Distiller 6.0, VBA and MS Word
Like many before me, I am tearing my hair out trying to get Acrobat
6.0 to work with VBA. I am getting close, and the error I am getting
now seems like it should be easy to surmount. So why am I stumped?!
;)
This code is in the middle of a large module in an ADP that takes web
data and ports it to an MS Word form that is dynamically generated
based on the data. Near the end, the Word doc needs to print to PDF
and save both the Word doc and PDF file. I have a working version of
this with Acrobat 4.0 using PDFWriter, but it doesn't work with later
versions of Acrobat and it's past time to upgrade.
Here's a snippet of the code in question (watch the word wrap):
----------------BEGINNING OF CODE----------------
'These three items are string variables, already declared.
'These set the file names instead of making the user type them
'and possibly store them in the wrong place or with the wrong name.
PSfilename = "I:\RPS & REO\BPO's\" & Forms!frmBPOReview!Loan_Num & "_"
& Forms!frmBPOReview!Address & "_" & Forms!frmBPOReview!Borrower &
".ps"
DOCfilename = "I:\RPS & REO\BPO's\Word\" & Forms!frmBPOReview!Loan_Num
& "_" & Forms!frmBPOReview!Address & "_" & Forms!frmBPOReview!Borrower
& ".doc"
PDFfilename = "I:\RPS & REO\BPO's\" & Forms!frmBPOReview!Loan_Num &
"_" & Forms!frmBPOReview!Address & "_" & Forms!frmBPOReview!Borrower &
".pdf"
'Here it calls an external procedure that captures the name
'of the user's default printer so it can be restored afterwards.
'Otherwise their Acrobat driver becomes the default
lpReturnedString = String(100, " ")
'Get the default printer from the win.ini file, application name =
[windows], key name = device
Call GetProfileString("windows", "device", "", lpReturnedString,
Len(lpReturnedString))
'GetDefaultPrinter = lpReturnedString
printer = lpReturnedString
'Print to Postscript/Distiller file
Dim AcroDist As New PdfDistiller6
objWord.ActiveDocument.PrintOut printtofile:=True,
outputfilename:=PSfilename
'Here's where it stops working. I need to convert the file to PDF
'and kill the postscript file
'I'll probably need to add something to kill the log file, too.
'It tries to run the code, but I get an error message
'stating that another process has locked the file.
AcroDist.FileToPDF PSfilename, PDFfilename, ""
Kill PSfilename
'Reset default printer
Call SetDefaultPrinter(printer)
'Close Word, do not save document
objWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs DOCfilename
objWord.ActiveDocument.Close
If AppNotRunning = True Then
objWord.Quit
End If
----------------END OF CODE----------------
As the code notes state above, Distiller tries to covert the PS file
to PDF, but it can't continue because a process has it locked, and I
don't know why or which process. I have tried saving and closing Word
before making the PDF conversion, but that didn't help.
Any help would be appreciated.

5.Word XP compatability with Adobe Acrobat Distiller?
I just upgraded my Office XP with SP1 and SP2.
Now I am getting a message when I launch Word that says it
has detected a version of Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker that is
known to cause instabilities in Word 2002." It refers me
to the Adobe web site, and says it is due to an
incompatability with Adobe Acrobat 5.0
What's weird is I only have Acrobat 4.0.
The knowledge base article is 302596 and is confusing
because for PDFMaker 5.0+ it says go to the Adobe web
site, but for 4.0 and lower, it just says to rename some
Adobe files (which basically renders them useless).
Is this note really saying I have to upgrade to 5.0 or
higher? And has anyone actually found anything on the
Adobe site that addresses this? (I can't).
