Converting excel file to PDF using Adobe 9 standard on windows XP

I have installed office 2010 SP1 on a computer and it already has adobe 9 installed. user never had problem with converting multi sheet excel workbook to PDF using MSoffice 2003.
Now, when we open excel files in EXCEL 2010 then try to print it to adobe 9, it asks for a filename and we type a name and it convert the first 2 sheet and then it asks again for the other filename and if we enter other name it print other sheets into second file. so basically it splits to 2 PDF files for no reason.
I tested same file on my laptop with windows 7 and adobe standard 9 and office 2010  and i got same result.
anybody knows what is the issue?

Have you updated Acrobat? Have you tried printing to another file format just to see if it is an issue with Acrobat or OFFICE 2010. OFFICE 2010 has forced many folks to upgrade to AA X to obtain compatibility.

  • Not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

    Hi,
    I am not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. When I try to convert, it starts the process and in between I am getting this prompt, as shown in figure below and the conversion process stops. The PDF is not created.
    Note: The filename 'Acr85.doc' in the above prompt keeps changing and is random.
    I tried clicking Yes, No and Cancel on the above prompt, but the conversion process just stops and PDF is not getting generated.
    I am able to create PDFs from web pages. No issues with that. Not working only with Word.
    Can someone help me with this.
    Thanks,

    In MSWord please changes the settings as "Adobe PDF" menu => "Change Conversion Settings" goto Tab Bookmark and clicks the option Convert Word Bookmarks. Now you convert the Doc to PDF you can achieve the Bookmark.
    Hope this help you

  • Converting a word 2000 file into pdf using Adobe Acrobat Standard X

    I reinstalled my Adobe Acrobat Standard X today, and tried to convert a *.doc word file into pdf, but the application could not open the word file and got stalled. I remembered that last time I installed the application the same probelm cropped up and I had to install a Microsoft patch that was required to do this, What is the patch file and how do I get it?

    I answer my question myself. I have solved it myself. The answer can be found by searching adobe website. But I give it here if it can be useful to others. Go to control panel. Go to Add or remove programs. Click on Modify in the listed Adobe program. Click Next in the box that appears. Select Modify. Click on + sign against pdF maker to expand. Click on X sign against 'this feature is not available' which shifts on to the little box on the left of Microsoft Office. Click on Apply. Quit. Once the Microsoft Office becomes disabled in Adobe, Word will open in all places.

  • Can't convert files to pdf using Acrobat 8 Standard or 9 Pro

    I am having a major problem. I have tried converting both Word 2003 and Excel 2003 documents to pdf using Acrobat 8 Standard (I can't recall which version because I uninstalled and installed a trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro) and Acrobat 9 Pro. I have tried to convert directly from the open document and through Acrobat using create from file. In every instance the process starts and then stops after a few moments. When I try the conversion from within Acrobat, I get the following error message: " Pdf conversion failed, please correct the error and retry." When I try the conversion directly from Word or Excel, the conversion starts, stiops suddenly and gives no error message.  I have had Acrobat 8 Standard installed for a couple of years. It worked fine on this computer until the problem started a week ago or so. There have been no software or hardware changes that woudl trigger suspicion.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 8 Standard version. I have uninstalled the 8 Standard version and installed the 9 Pro trial version. I have run the repair module on both versions. I'm sure it is something simple but I just can't figure out what the "error" is that I need to "correct". Any suggestions?
    As an aside, I have several Adobe programs (Photoshop CS5, Contribute 3 and Acrobat), all of them expensive. Their business model of offering no unpaid support (even for this type of problem) is one reason I hate Adobe more than Microsoft... but I rant.

    When you uninstalled, you should have used the MS Installer Cleanup utility. It cleans up a lot of the junk left over in the registry. You should have also deleted the Acrobat folder. Then you would reinstall. You did not indicate your OS and it may be that you need to update the AA8 to get it to work correctly. Also, the installs and uninstalls can mess up your registration process if you are not careful. If you uninstall the AA9 trial, you will not be able to reinstall it for use. At this point, I can only suggest you do a repair of your installation and be sure you have all of the updates.

  • Error when trying to convert excel files to pdf

    I'm getting the following error when trying to convert .xls and .xlsx files to pdf, using the "Create PDF" option:
    Error message from the primary converter:
    ALC-PDG-010-012-PDFMaker reported an error while printing the document.
    Word, Powerpoint and Text files convert without any issues. Also I'm able to opent the excel files and convert them to pdf using the acrobat option in excel.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    It is always difficult when you need to convert multiple xls files to pdf or multiple sheets to pdf. If you have a single file to convert then the best method would be to copy your data to doc file and then convert it into PDF . If you have multiple files to convert then it is really difficult to convert all the files manually. Then the better method would be to use converter tool to convert excel to pdf . By doing this you can convert many files in just few seconds.

  • Convert txt file to pdf using Acrobat Distiller

    Hi,
    We purchase years ago Distiller 8.1.0.
    Now, I try to convert txt file to pdf files, but I always get an error.
    Please Help,
    Hezi

    I have important information: Acrobat is not licensed for use server side, so you must not use it to build that solution, even if it is technically possible.
    Adobe's server side PDF creation product is LiveCycle PDF Generator https://www.adobe.com/sea/products/server/pdfgenerator/
    This comes in three editions. The "PostScript" edition is little more than a server-side version of Distiller, and will not convert TXT. However, the other two editions can convert a wide variety of formats.

  • I am unable to convert certain files to pdf with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

    I am unable to convert Word & PowerPoint files to pdf.  (I am able to convert image files & excel)
    I have enable macros in Word and still cannot convert the file. 
    I am getting the error popup:
    Unable to open the document
    Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file
    I am running:
    Windows XP Professional Ver 2002 SP 3
    Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
    Microsoft Office 2007

    Open the document in WORD or PPT and print to the Adobe PDF printer. With PPT, you will have to select the fill page option. You may also be able to use PDF Maker in WORD or PPT. From your post I am assuming you are trying to open directly in Acrobat and all of these other things have to be working properly before the latter will work. If they work and you still can not open directly in Acrobat, then try a repair on Acrobat.

  • Converting a file to pdf using API

    I am using APIs for converting a word document into pdf file. I added 2 jar files adobe-convertpdf-client and adobe-generatepdf-client in my application and tried to convert a word document into pdf format. For this requirement should i have install livecycle, application server, Database etc. Can it be done using a java console application by using these jar files. If so Can anyone give me a sample code?

    Since cfdocument can render HTML, you may easily convert JPG
    to PDF, using
    <cfdocument format="PDF">
    <img src="myphoto.jpg" alt="my photo">
    </cfdocument>
    However, converting DOC to PDF or PPT to PDF with Coldfusion
    is not currently possible. DOC and PPT have proprietary MS Office
    formatting that is foreign to Coldfusion.

  • Converting Doc files to PDF using command line ?

    Hello,
    I need to automate the process of converting (in command line) word files to pdf.
    Is Acrobat distiller Server the right product ? or is there another product from Adobe that would allow me to reach this goal ?
    NB : currently using pdfcreator in command line but have some stability problems now...
    thanks a lot

    Acrobat Distiller Server can only convert Postscript to PDF. You may look at this product:

  • Converting Excel File to .pdf

    I created an Excel 2003 file that has hidden rows.  When I tried to create a .pdf using Professional 8.0, only 75% of the file is converted.  It converts all of the top of the document (minimum of 5 hidden rows) but stops converting after a section of 15 hidden rows.  I don't know if hidden rows are the problem or not.  The file was converted using Excel 2003 with Profession 7.0 and also converted fine with Excel 2007 and Profession 8.0.  Does anyone have a solution or reason why I can't convert the file?
    Thanks!

    Try updating your Acrobat to with the latest patch - 8.1.4, if you haven't already done so.

  • Problems with some photos when converting Publisher files to PDF using Acrobat 9

    I tried to make a pdf of a publisher document that has a number of photographs. Two of the photographs appear grey with streaks -looks like some of the colours are not converting properly. The same document works fine with Acrobat 8 but not with version 9. Anybody have this experience?

    Graffit's suggestion did not work for me.
    I work for the Ontario government, and we are still using Office 2003. I am not sure what version of 9 we are using as we get bulk licences to use the program. I only got the program in August 2010. I used the default settings in the program.
    I try to open the publisher document in Adobe. I have also tried opening the publisher document, then converting it to the PDF. Both have two of the photos that don't convert properly. The other photos are fine.
    The two photos in question were given to us by the Communications department. I don't have the originals. The photos were copied from other document. I don't know what the format of the orginal photos were. The person in Communications has not responded to my request yet.

  • Missing page while converting Postscript files to PDF using Distiller 9.

    Hi
    Due to some incorrect hexadecimal code in the post script, one of the pages is not getting created in the full pdf. So, we can say that the page is missing in the complete pdf file.
    Here is my snapshot of the issue:
    1. Offending command issue on a particular post script data is coming up due to some incorrect hexadecimal data.
    2. If I run the postscript through Distiller 8, report is getting generated without any missing data.
    3. Whereas, if I run it throught Distiller 9.1.3, Distiller is ignoring the page due to following warning.
    %%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
    Stack:
    41
    ( À
    4. If I run the same Postscript file in Distiller 9.3 (latest version), issue is going away.
    5. But I have another Report pdf with the same  issue but this time with a different hexadecimal exception.
    %%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
    Stack:
    49
    (à ø&#127;À ø&#127;À øÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿÀ þ&#127;À þ&#127;à þ&#127;ø?þ?ÿÿþ?ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿýþ ÿùþ?ð&#127;à ø&#127;À ø&#127;À øÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿÀ þ&#127;À þ&#127;à þ&#127;ø?þ?ÿÿþ?ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿýþ ÿùþ ü%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
    So, either way, even if I upgrade my version of Acrobat from 9.1.3 to 9.3, issue doesnt go away. I think the new Acrobat Distiller is buggy and introducing new problems when compared to Acrobat Distiller 9.
    1. Works fine Distiller 8.0
    2. More problems with 9.1.3
    3. Lesser problems with 9.3 but I cant upgrade to 9.3 unless i see all the missing page problem going away.
    Can someone urgently look into this?
    Regards
    Hari

    I am calling Distiller using command line.
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrodist.exe" /f/Q/N C:\Reporter\debug\report.dst
    report.dst contains the the names of the post script files.
    (I have already contacted Distiller server forum and I was told to post the request in Acrobat forum)

  • Convert .txt file to .pdf using java code

    Hi,
    My requirement is to read the .txt file and convert it into .pdf file after changing certain text.
    Searched the net got a document on iText ..is it the only way for conversion or any other method....please help.
    Thanks in advance.
    Pooja

    Hi.
    You could review this [url|http://www.roseindia.net/java/java-conversion/TextToPDF.shtml].
    It is a good example to use the iText Library.
    The other option could be [PDFBox|http://pdfbox.apache.org/].
    Here some [example code|http://pdfbox.apache.org/userguide/cookbook/creation.html#HelloWorld].
    Another option, but more complicated is [Apache FOP|http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/].
    I hope you can find the right solution.
    Kindest regards, have a great day
