Converting Word documents with Chinese characters into pdf

[Guest guest]

I haven't done this, and don't know that it works, but someone

forwarded me this information:

 

Converting Word documents with Chinese characters into pdf:

 

Step 1: Downloading Asian Fonts for Acrobat Reader 6.0

Go to www.adobe.com. Download the Free Acrobat Reader 6.0.

Then in " Search " enter " Asian fonts " . You'll get quite a few options.

Choose the Acrobat Reader

Asian Fonts option. Choose Acrobat Reader 6.0 in the first box and

select Traditional Chinese or Simplified Chinese in the second.

Download either directly or save to a file and open separately.

You have to reboot for it to take effect.

 

Step 2: Embedding Asian Fonts into Acrobat Distiller 5.0

It seems you also have to embed the characters in Acrobat Distiller. I

think it comes with the Adobe

Acrobat package. I happened to have Acrobat Distiller 5.0 on my pc.

Go to

the start menu>programs,

and open Acrobat Distiller separately. Then in the Distiller program

choose Settings>Job Options>Font Tab

Within the Font Box choose " C:\WINNT\Fonts\ " for the widest range of

fonts

including Chinese ones.

Highlight each Chinese font that you want, such as FZSTK-GBK1-0,

PMingLiU,

SimSun, etc., and click

the arrow that will move them into the top box that says " Always Embed. "

Then Save your selections and close.

 

Step 3: Converting Word files into PDF files

Open your file in word (or word perfect, which should also work for

this).

Select print.

Choose the printing option " Acrobat PDF Writer " , then rename

file that will be converted into pdf. I usually put all pdf converted

files in a separate folder.

You can't open these files in word anymore; they have to be open in Adobe

Reader or Acrobat.

If the Chinese fonts have NOT been embedded

properly, you will only see strings of question marks where the

characters

should be.

 

Step 4: Making a PDF Master document

Once the Chinese in the Word docs are successfully converted into pdf

format

you can then put all the files into one master document. You do this

within

Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe reader or distiller).

In Adobe Acrobat, select Document>Insert pages> and then select the PDF

file you want to start the file like a cover page,

table of contents, etc. The file will be inserted into the open Adobe

Acrobat program.

Select the " thumbnails " on the left to see the pages of the file you just

embedded. It works very much like the slides in

power point with the thumbnails of each slide on the left and the

selected

slide on the right.

It is simple to insert files and put them anywhere you would like. Just

select Insert " before " last,

" after " last, or choose the page number it should follow for each PDF

file

you want to insert thereafter.
