Acrobat Distiller NOT Opening...

Hello,
I had Acrobat 9 Extended, the distiller of which used to work, then i downloaded the new version of Acrobat 9 Extended and installed and deleted the last one. Now the new Distiller Does NOT Run/Crashes on Runing, and thus the Adobe PDF printer does not work either, starts printing and stops in the half for every file, progress says stopped. There are distiller updates on adobe's site but not for the english version. Acrobat updates haven't been much of a help either.
Any solutions, Please help.

I don't understand having AA9Ext and then downloading the new version, deleting, and installing. This is not part of the Acrobat installation and update workflow. Do you mean you are using the trial version? That may be the problem. If you were using the trial version, once the trial runs out you have to purchase it to use it anymore. Deleting and reinstalling does not do the job; purchasing does the job.

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.  To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf"  I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file.  After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared.  How do I resolve this problem?

  • Help please I can not openening because: Error opening the document,  Acrobat can not open the file while printing another document

    Help, I ca not opening the file, beacause the mac says Error opening the document, Acrobat can not open the while printing another document

    Thank you very much for your replies Taggert_77 & swmtgoet_x :D
    Taggert77_: I have never used NetBeans. I only installed it in the bundle as I had read on another post that somehow installing the bundle magically helped another user with the same problem (he didn't know why it worked after that either).
    Before XP SP3 I was able to execute .jar file through cmd prompt. Now I am not.
    This file is executable, grab it and you will see. Here is a screen shot (program in front is FlashFXP, behind is the cmd prompt and what should happen):http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/53273b4ddf.jpg
    swmtgoetx_: I only did the other cmd's to try to make it spit out something, anything lol :D
    The proper cmd is simply: java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
    I did give your cmd a try, and it produced nothing :( (just like the other correct cmds)
    java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties
    Thank you again...the mystery remains
    PS. If you do a search for this you'll find an amazing amount of XP SP3 users with the same problem and no solution posted that I could find except one chap that did the unistall install order that I did above).

  • Acrobat will not open any documents, HELP! Thank you!

    Adobe Acrobat will not open any documents, it tells me it is a trial, I click on license product and get a thank you for your Adobe Cloud subscription... but then when I try to open a pdf I get the same message it just keeps looping from trial will run out in 7 days to trial will run out in 13 days and I can never open a pdf. I am going to try and uninstall and reinstall. For most of us, not being able to open a pdf is comparable to not being able to work. This is totally UNacceptable. Clients and bosses are counting on my being able to do my job, I can't say to them, "Oh well the dog "Adobe" ate my homework." PLEASE fix this Adobe! Thank you.
    Here is a screen shot of the messages...
    I  uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled from Adobe Application Manager, thought all was great when it asked for my user name and password, then when I clicked Launch... same issue. FRUSTRATING! Any one have a fix? I even created a pdf using InDesign, made sure I had View PDF after exporting checked and still got that awful Trial box. The pdf did show up in my documents, but I can not open it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Thank you Manish-Sharma, I followed the instruction in the thread, and for the first time in a week I can actually open a PDF. I am not sure if this will be a permanant fix, we will see on the 30 day mark. I really appreciate that you read my question and gave me an answer that allowed me to open Acrobat. I also opened Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and AfterEffects. They all opened with the exception of a small glitch when I opened Illustrator which was cleared up in moments. See screetshot.
    Thank you again! Much appreciated!

  • When I try to download Firefox 5.0 (I have 4.0) I get the box that indicates that Acrobat could not open 'Firefox 5.0.dmg' . Mac OS10.6.7 Help!

    I keep getting the Software Update for Firefox 5.0. I try to update after viewing the informatiion choosing English and MacOS X. It downloads and then I get the message: "Acrobat could not open ‘Firefox 5.0.dmg’ because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn’t correctly decoded)."
    I would be most grateful for any help; I am 78 and trying but not succeeding. Ah, the scourge of age.

    Sorry, Firefox 4.0.1 isn't supported any longer, that's why you are getting re-directed. Firefox 5.0 is a security update for 4.0.1; Firefox 4.0 didn't get that update, but Firefox 3.6.18 did. Best to stick with 3.6.18 until whatever you are using for those logins is updated for Firefox 5.0.

  • Newly installed Acrobat will NOT open from Creative Cloud app on Desktop using Windows 7 Pro - what's the problem?

    Newly installed Acrobat will NOT open from Creative Cloud app on Desktop using Windows 7 Pro - what's the problem?

    the cc desktop app is used to install and update cc programs (and a few other thinigs).  but that does not include 'opening' the installed programs.
    click your start button or your program files directory to find the acrobat executable to launch acrobat (and any of your other apps, adobe or otherwise).

    after reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

    hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back.  i got some good info with a search or two.  (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs,  OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
    what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
    from User /Preferences/Adobe:
    com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
    com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
    and from System Preferences:
    the file:  Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
    and..
    /.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
    AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
    Debug Database.txt
    Placeholder Preset.epr
    PostEncodeCmds.pref
    PresetCache.xml
    Trace Database.txt
    NOTE:
    of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but...  it seems to have worked.
    I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering,  so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
    hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
    happy editing,
    peace

  • Acrobat can not open pdf email attachment

    Acrobat 8 Professional.<br /><br />A user gets this error message when he tries to open up a pdf email attachment:<br /><br />"Acrobat could not open <File Name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."<br /><br />I can open up the attachment without any issues.<br /><br />Anybody else have this issue?

    Yes, Ron Green here at the NYS Insurance Department. I now have two clients and counting that have somewhat of an identical problem.
    Client #1 has Adobe 8 Professional installed on his pc which is running Widnows XP Professsional. Files are scanned using a XEROX MFP network scanner and client is able to open those scanned documents within adobe and then saves them to a network share. Problem arises whenever he attempts to attach the saved document to another application. Once he attempts viewing the scanned document at that point Adobe blows up with the same error message stating the file is corrupt.
    Client #2 has Adobe 9 Reader but is still able to follow the same network scanning scenario aforementioned but encounters the exact same problem when attempting to attach the scanned PDF documents.
    Is there any type of fix out there for this???

  • Acrobat could not open the file because it is either not a support

    Acrobat could not open the file because it is either not a support file type or because the file has been damaged?

    What it means is what it says.
    Where is the file from?
    What makes you sure that Adobe Reader is the right program to open it?

    I like the new printing tab in Apex 3.0 but I have already stumbled across a problem.

  • Adobe Acrobat will not open

    I installed CS6 a few weeks ago and it worked fine. All of a sudden I can't open the Adobe Acrobat program any longer. How do I fix this?

    Hi,
    Since you have tried with crofix update but the file does not open.
    You might need to try out solutions 2 or 3 for the same from the link mentioned below:
    Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite
    Please let me know if that worked for you. If no, then do tell me if there is any specific error.

  • Acrobat 9 not opening

    I've installed acrobat 9 from Xerox and it will not open? Can anyone help

    Sorry I didn't explain well.
    I have a 64bit laptop running Win7.  I have it connected via wifi network to a xerox dc242 printer/copier.
    Acrobat 9 is supplied along with the EFI fiery software for the printer.  The impose function require it to launch adobe Acrobat.  Intitally a probelm occured with the impose function which Xerox IT support have looked into.  Having exausted all avenues with there software it seems the issue is launching acrobat.  When lauching independandly on the laptop it opens for about 15 seconds before saying Acrobat has stopped working.  We beleive its looking for the leicencing code possibly.  But Xerox have suggested I now need help from adobe.
    I should also say having installed 9.1 I have added one security update refering to issues with 9.1 and earlier. But to no effect.
    Hopefully you can help!  Appologies for not being clearer earlier.
