Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint. I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason. The error says "an unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF. How do I fix this?
Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.

An unexpected error occured. PDFMaker was unable to produce the adobe PDF
"An unexpected error occured. PDFMaker was unable to produce the adobe PDF." When trying to print PDF from Publisher (MS Office 2010) version 14.0.6129.5000 32bit. I am able to print to PDF Printer. I am using Adobe Acrobat 10.1.5.
Windows 7 64bit.All I know to suggest off hand is to update to the latest Acrobat (10.1.7). You might also check your job settings and check to see if a log file was created that might give you some idea of what failed.

An unexpected Error Occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF
Hello,
This is a very user-UNFRIENDLY message. There is no info as to what error occurred or how to fix it. I googled this error and only found info relating to earlier versions of Acrobat and not sure they would be worth the trouble of checking out on latest version...one would have hoped Adobe would have something on this, but I can't find anything about it concerning the current release.
The scenario:
Powerpoint 2010, Adobe Acrobat X Pro, both fully updated and current. Late model Dell computer with plenty of RAM/Disk space. Windows 7 Home Premium
I can create a PDF using the Print to Adobe PDF option. However this does not save embedded videos as flash videos, and I have several.
We are supposed to be able to embed videos in PDFs from Powerpoint (and other MS Office products) by having Acrobat Pro convert them to FLV format. I did a test conversion in Powerpoint using the "Insert Flash" option under the Acrobat ribbon, and it converted and played fine in Powerpoint. However when I then try to save the presentation as PDF, I get the error and no PDF is created.
This error occurs with both Acrobat X standard and Acrobat X pro. I had hoped that Acrobat X pro would not behave the same way but it does.
What's the deal? How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance for any helpHi Bill & Sandeep,
Thank you very much for your comments. I also had entered a message about embedding cine loops (.avi -> .mov or avi -> MP4) into PDF files from Powerpoint slide presentations at another forum, and got some help there, too. I am confident the temp file is not the problem as my original file is not that big, but I did take Bill's advice and make a small 1-6 slide test presentation in Powerpoint to sort this out.
However I still haven't been able to get the desired result: A secure PDF of my slide presentation with embedded cine loops that will play smoothly and continuously once their page/slide is displayed or until the user clicks them off.
What I have done: The native files are .avi files (have to be, unfortunately.) I convert them to .mov or .mp4 to work with Acrobat X Pro Embed Flash feature. These files play fine in "native" format in Powerpoint. I can select an option for them to play continuously and that works.
If I load the same files via the "embed flash" process, they appear as a black box on my slide with nothing in it...this threw me for awhile. Then I found that if I just played the presentation as a "show" it would actually display the cine loop images that I couldn't see on the "Normal" editing page in Powerpoint, and once played as a show, the images and controls magically appeared on my slide in edit mode.
I converted the presentation to .PDF using the Powerpoint, "Save As Adobe PDF" option under the File menu in Powerpoint. File conversion went without a hitch.
However two problems arose: First of all, no way to get continous cine - each time the cine loop ends, the user has to re-trigger it...this is true in Powerpoint AND Acrobat with "Embedded" cine loops, but does not happen in Powerpoint if they are not "Embedded." In Acrobat if they are not "Embeded Flash," then only a still shot of frame 1 of the cine appears.
Second of all, the first time you click on the Cine to get it to play in the PDF, the image changes from image 1of the cine loop to a black box, and then plays the cine for just one loop. What's up with that? Very annoying appearance and doesn't happen in Powerpoint in native, non-flash format. I'd like that to go away also.
And by the way, I tried importing the cines directly into the PDF from within Acrobat and got the same problems, plus then the images are on slides/pages in the PDF that don't match the rest of the Powerpoint theme/style/color. I did find that turning off hardware acceleration completely fixed the black frame/stutter and some jerky cine problems when images are directly imported into Acrobat X - the images played smoothly and nicely, but I can't get past the garish look of having to manage the cines that way and how they look compared to the rest of the project. Also, having the hardware acceleration off does NOT fix the embedded videos made from within Powerpoint like it did the cines directly imported into Acrobat.
Since both of you (Bill & Sandeep) indicate this shouldn't be an issue, I'm sure I'm just ignorant and missing some easy fix. I sincerely appreciate you both trying to help me. If you (or anyone else, for that matter) have any more ideas, I'm definitely open to suggestion.
Best regards,

I reinstalled operating system software on my MacBook Air (Yosemite 10.10.3) and tried reinstalling Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I was able to install the software into my Applications folder but I was unable to enter the serial number or go any further with the installation. When I click on the Adobe Acrobat icon in the Applications folder, nothing happens.
Hi Tom,
kindly check the System requirements | Acrobat family of products—older versions (XI, X, 9)
For serial number message try:
Error "Invalid serial number" | Acrobat 9 | CS4
Thanks,

new iphone 5 and 4 year old macbook, and for some reason my computer says a later version of iTunes is required. So, i went to ITunes and found i have the latest version availble at this time. iTunes say phone can not be synced because it requires a version of 10.7 or greater?
iPhone 5 requires OS X 10.6.8 & iTunes 10.7 or greater. I suspect you're running Leopard, 10.5.8, correct? If so, you will first have to update your OS, then iTunes in order to sync your phone.

@Why is it when I go to open a file in Photoshop cc I get a "Could not complete your request because of a program error". I have uninstalled and re-installed software, It works for a short time then I get that error again when i go to open a file. Thank you!
Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

i just downloaded ilife every things working fine except, when i try to open iPhoto it said ''You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete. i tried to re-download it but my password didn't work for some reason. HELPPPP!!!
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I cant get a photo project to email the moblile me address to someone else. I know how, but it has stopped working for some reason. Instead of pulling up the web address on the email form, it puts an error message? Any ideas?
Michael,
The link for the word 'HERE' directs to a Evergreen School District page, which outside of Mobile Me and/or Aperture. Your school district network might be intercepting the request from Aperture and displaying the 'network authentication page' that you see, instead of the email. I would get with the IT department to see if they can help you get around this.
Have you also tried using the 'Tell a Friend' feature from another network location, like starbucks or your home?
Cheers,
Owen. -
I have a ini mac and an Apple TV. Both have performed well displaying computer voice and audio onto my TV. For some reason I have lost the Audio - Can anyone help?
Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,

I need to download my Verizon bill. For some reason my account says I'm a "Member" and not the "Manager" or "Owner" so I can't download the bill. I AM THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS ACCOUNT. I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS EVER BEEN ON THIS ACCOUNT. ONLY ME. JUST ME.
Prepaid accounts don't have Account Owners/Managers, they just have Account Members (and prepaid accounts have less options regarding changes via their My Verizon account as a result).

Hi, I have backed up 2 IMACs and one Mac Book Pro but for some reason, the 3rd IMAC come up with this problem: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Anthony’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). Why? The computer system is up to date and I have had no issue with the other computers, just this one.
Many thanks

Can not create new page from template
I have been working on a new site for the last couple of
weeks and have created several pages using a basic template.
All of the child pages of this template still update when
changes are made to it, however I can no long create new children
from this template.
Any ideas as to what the problem might be.
THanks
Clint> It is basically just creating a copy of my template, and
not linking to it in

> This allows me to change any section of the html.
my guess is that you are opening the .dwt template file and
doing a "Save
As". That page is not a "child" page of the template.
>
> I want to be able to create new pages off this template
and have it work like
> all of the first pages I created.
dw menu-->File-->New
in the new files dialog box, click the Templates tab
from list in left, click This Site Name
from list in right, pick This Template
make sure x is in box to Update if template changes
click okay
save file with filename you want to within this local site
folder.
add content to within the editable areas

Can´t create new Version from Image with meta/adjustment?
I have some Images (.tiffs) which have Metadata/Adjustments but I can´t create a new Version from them.
Any idea what to do??
thanks appreciate your help!
r'weeks of work'. that's far too much to just let go of. so...
(re-reading your original message...)
'capturing' means simply importing, right?
but you've made adjustments to the images after import?
and you've added keywords/IPTC/metadata to the images after import?
I'd try:
A. split the tiff project/s into smaller projects (100 images or so) if you haven't already done so. (this'll take a while because Aperture slows down significantly when master images are moved around)
B. export the projects.
C. delete the projects from inside Aperture. there should be none of your 'problematic' tiff images remaining in the library.
D. relaunch Aperture and rebuild the library.
E. import the projects one at a time, rebuilding the library after each import in case there is something in the project's data files that needs fixing.
F. try to do what you want to do with the images in the project.
if everything works ok, then import the next project and repeat steps E and F.
