Word 2007 – Save as Pdf gives error

Today I have the same problem with exporting Word 2007 equations in PDF using save as -> PDF. Recently I was using doPDF to export Cyrillic texts and I decided to try it with the word equations. It worked perfectly!

Referencing another forum discussion in acrobat users blog I found the real word solution - simply load the “Files for Complex Script and right-to-left languages” found under the "Languages" tab in Regional and Language Options in the control panel

You will need a Windows XP SP3 CD and restart. The Saving the docx as PDF after this manipulation works perfectly!

Thank you for your excellent article. It works! Not for me at at first but then I discovered you have to turn off 'protected mode' in adobe X. I don't have this problem at all on adobe 9. It seems to me that the industry is going backwards on functionality in the name of security.

So in Adobe Reader X do:

1. Make sure open cross docs.. is unchecked. (as you said)
2. Turn off protected mode: Edit » Preferences » General
3. Search and replace /Type/Action/S/URI/URI with /Type/Action/S/Launch/F( using a suitable hex editor

There is no easy solution for what we want to do which is allow any user with only a PDF reader with no settings to bother about, to navigate around a folder.
But thanks again for all your work and the light it throws on the subject.
