Microsoft Office 1003. Adobe Acrobat Pro v10.1.16. I can convert Publisher 2007 files, Excel 2003 files but not Word 2003 files. Weird!


Did you check to see what version of Acrobat work with the various MS-Office versions?

Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications

be sure to read the foot notes.

Support for MS Publisher has been an issue. Publisher does not have the same internal objects as Word does.

Hi helenb1213​,

Please make sure Acrobat X is compatible with MS Office version Web browsers and PDFMaker applications compatible with Acrobat and Reader

Open Acrobat, navigate to Help menu & repair the installation. Also check for the updates under the Help menu, if any please install.

Now try replication the issue.

I did repair and Update Adobe but neither helped, so I think the 2 are incompatible. Time for me to upgrade Word.

Thanks for your suggestions.

If you upgrade Word you must also upgrade Acrobat. What version of Word do you have? And what version of Acrobat? Please give the version from Help>About like 10.3.34.
