"Could not find the application that created this file" error when trying to combine files

I am working with a user that is trying to combine a pdf & word doc (docx). When they try to combine the files she gets the error: "Could not find the application that created this file" & "Please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer". The computer is running windows XP, with office 2010 SP1, & Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
Per previous suggestions, I have already checked to see if Adobe PDFMaker is enabled as a Word plugin, and it is.
Recentley the user was running Acrobat 6, and this error did not occur. It is only after upgrading to Acrobat X that this is happening. Any help with this issue would be appreciated.

This can also be caused if the files are in a folder deep in the file system. For example C:/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/zzzzzzz/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb /cccccccccccccccccccc/dddddddddddddddd/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee/ffffffff/ggggggg/hhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhh/myPDF.pdf
At some point Adobe PDFMaker cannot handle the path length (also, Windows can't handle the path length either eventually)
Solution: move the files to a shorther path (perhaps the desktop) and try from there.
I am filing a bug report with Adobe. A descriptive exception message should be thrown instead of "could not file the app.."

Could Not Find The Application That Created This File

Hello Community,
I have already been to the Acrobat forum with this post and they re-directed me to this forum.
My problem seems to be with a InDesign file that will not export to a PDF, nor can I create the PDF from within Acrobat itself. BTW I have Acrobat 8.1.6 on a Vista OS.
Here is what I've done thus far:
restarted my computer, which didn't correct anything
printed the InDesign file to the PDF printer unsuccessfully
Checked for InDesign and Acrobat updates and found I'm current with the updates
Please NOTE: I have no problem with creating a PDF with either a Word or Illustrator file; it's the InDesign file that's giving me a problem. The message I get when I try to export from within InDesign to a PDF file is "Could not find the application that created this file; please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer."
Please help. Thank you very much.

Hi John,
Before replying to you, I decided to give it another go. This time out, I
was finally able to export the InDesign file, which I created, to a PDF.
Hooray!
I have found, in the past, that restarting my computer will clear something
in my system, and then I can create the PDF. Sometimes this inability to
create a PDF happens in Word. But this time around it was InDesign that was
the problem file.
Maybe it has something to do with the preferences menu. I'll have to check
this out. Otherwise, all is fine. Thanks for answering.--Pat

Could not find the application that created this file Acrobat Pro XI and .pptx file

Hi,
I just installed Acrobat Pro XI and I am trying to combine files into one pdf. The combine feature works fine with Word, excel, other pdfs but does not work with powerpoint files (.pptx). I have searched and found others have been having this issues for many past versions. I found a workaround (print the powerpoint to pdf and then merge the files) but I should not have to do it that way. Can someone help me out? Powerpoint is installed on my computer, the print pdf function works, and the Adobe add-in is active (these are the 3 solution I keep encountering) but it still will not combine a powerpoint file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Steve

Hi Stephen ,
Could you please elaborate a bit more that what exactly happens when you try to combine .pptx file?
Do you get any error message?
If yes ,please share the screen shot of the same.
Are you facing challenge with the powerpoint files only?
I have tried the same on my end and it is working perfectly fine .
Try updating your Acrobat to the latest version .
Launch Acrobat>Navigate to Help>Check for Updates .

Trouble creating a pdf converting Word doc ..."Could not find the application that created the file"

Hello,
I am working with Acrobat Pro 8 and am trying to create a pdf by converting a word doc. When I try that, I keep getting an error message, " Could not find the application that created this file...please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer." I can always convert a word into pdf first and then insert it into the pdf project that I am working on, however I have multiple files and I really would like to bypass that long step.
I found another thread in this forum which talks about a simillar issue (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/429585).I tried the solution suggested there by Bill@vt regarding the print menu. I am not really sure if t have distiller installed, so I tried opening it in acrobat, but it failed. During the process, I got the follwing message "Check the Status column for a list of files that could not be printed".I do not have any clue how to check for AcroTray running in the background.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!

If Distiller failed to open, it sounds like you need to do a repair of your Acrobat installation. Have not heard that one before!

Windows SharePoint Services Error: Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find the application on the Web

I am developing a WSS based WCM site for a customer which has a bilingual interface. Now everything is wokring fine in the development environment. Today I backed-up the Content Database and took the related control file (.ascx & .ascx.cs) to deploy it to the cusomter's test machine.

Execute jar file: "could not find the main class" program will terminate

Hey,
I am new to Java. I have started to make a small java program which supposed to help me at my studies to lean the Dominic Memory System. I have used the latest version of Netbeans 5.5.1 to build my program in. I have two problems which I cannot figure out how to solve, please help me.
The first problem is that the java script I have made works when I compile it in Netbeans, but when I create a Jar file it does not work. I receive a pop up message in windows ?could not find the main class program will terminate? when I execute the jar file.
The second problem I have is that I need to compare the strings generated by the "numbers" and "TIP" and if the numbers is not identical the numbers in the ?Center? JPanel should be highlighted as red.
If anyone would like to clean up the code I would be pleased. I have copied quite a lot from anyone because of my one lack of knowledge.

SQL Server Express 2014 on Win8.1: Could not find the Database Engine startup handle

Hello,
I tried to follow all the similarly titled posts in this forum, yet no solution seems to work, so I hope I can find some up-to-date suggestion here (most of the older posts refer to versions from 2008 to 2012...).
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 (with the latest Update 2 RC) on a freshly installed development workstation with Win 8.1 with all its updates. Now I'd want to install SQL Server 2014 Express, but the setup keeps failing with the dreaded "Could
not find the Database Engine startup handle" error (the log follows below).
What I tried:
1) download again and repair. Same error.
2) completely uninstall by launching setup.exe /Action=uninstall (success), then rebooting the OS, then installing again. Same error. I did this twice, the second time I also manually removed any directory left out in C:\Program Files etc.
When I launch the setup, I select all the components for installation in the package SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe (1.12 GB, last downloaded today -Apr 3, 2014-), and accept all the defaults including the proposed services accounts. There is no preexisting
SQL Server instance, as expected.
The setup takes its time, and finally fails with the error quoted above. I really do not want to reformat my HD and fully reconfigure my workstation, which took about 3 days... Could anyone suggest a solution to have SQL Server 2014 setup so I can start
developing instead of wasting time in administering the system?
Thanks to all! The log follows.

Thank you, it worked! I suppose that it was really your nr.3 which made the difference. I changed NT Service\MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS to NT AUTHORITY\System for the Data service. I'll then change it again as suggested (any suggestion about a "standard"
account to be used here?), even if this is a development workstation using SQL Server Express only as a local database for debugging, so security is not really a big concern.
Thanks for the feedback.Ya I know No3 was real step but just added more info so as to rule out any other possibility.
No not as such, you wont believe,quite few pf my clients I have worked for keep it with local system and they have not complained yet ,they are afraid to change account as few of them faced issue SQL Server not coming online due to logon failure( after changing
startup account to some domain a and that was happening due to some AD policy.But if you have nay plans to move Critical database in production which would be act as Database to some Internet facing application please follow my suggestion
of running SQL Server with Least privileged domain account.

[SOLVED] mutt error "Could not find the host"

I have been trying to set up Mutt, following the Mutt wiki page. Every time I run 'mutt' at the command line, the application opens but I get the following error message at the bottom of the window:
Could not find the host "imap.qmul.ac.uk"
I've tried various .muttrc variations, but no luck so far. Here is my current .muttrc file (with my username changed to 'user' but no other changes):
set imap_user = user
set folder = "imaps://[email protected]:993/"
set spoolfile = +INBOX
mailboxes +INBOX
unset imap_passive
(Eventually I will add smtp information, but it seems premature at this stage. I also tried putting my password in there, but it did not make a difference.)
It may be relevant that I also cannot telnet into the imap server in question (or get in there with 'ssh'). I set up telnet using the telnet wiki page.
The IMAP server itself seems to be working well: I can log in there and read and send emails just fine when I use a GUI-based email client.
Any ideas, anyone, on what's going wrong?

Just in case anyone stops by and is interested in the networking question, let me add, in partial answer to skanky's questions, that I can indeed ping the server:
$ ping imap.qmul.ac.uk
PING imap.qmul.ac.uk (138.37.6.143) 56(84) bytes of data.
And the telnet error message I get is as follows:
$ telnet imap.qmul.ac.uk
Trying 138.37.6.143...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
But I've just noticed that if I include a port the telnetting works fine:
$ telnet imap.qmul.ac.uk 993
Trying 138.37.6.143...
Connected to imap.qmul.ac.uk.
Escape character is '^]'.
I don't know why that should be, since a port number is optional in the telnet documentation I've consulted, both on my system (via 'man') and elsewhere.
And if I include a port number in my .muttrc folder setting but keep the server name instead of the IP address...
set imap_user = user
# set folder = "imaps://[email protected]:993/"
set folder = "imaps://[email protected]:993/"
set spoolfile = +INBOX
mailboxes +INBOX
unset imap_passive
... it STILL doesn't work:
Could not find the host "imap.qmul.ac.uk"
Finally the GUI application that I mentioned was a webmail service. I just go to a web page and type in my username and password, so I don't know about its settings offhand. I can try to find them out if this issue is of interest to any networking expert who wanders by.
There are deep mysteries here, but I am content for the moment that I have mutt up and running.

Fiori leave request error "Could not start the app due to an internal error"

Hi,
I'm getting this error "Could not start the app due to an internal error" when accessing leave request application.
I don't get this error when I login and launch the app for the first time. when I go back to the home screen and select "My Leave Requests" app again, I get this error.
If I close the error message and do a browser refresh, everything is fine again for the first time, if I access the LR app again- same error .
Other apps are working fine.
I don't see any error in gateway or App logs.

Could not find application that created this file error in Acrobat

What is going on? I have an InDesign file that I want to convert by opening Acrobat and then converting to PDF. I am getting the error "Could not find application that created this file. [file name] Please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer."
I most often use this functionality when I have multiple files of different origins and need to combine them into one document. Now I'm reading the forums and some are saying this functionality is no longer supported by Acrobat. Pardon my language, but WTF?!?! This is functionality that is commonly used by me and I can only assume other users. Now you have two Adobe products that won't communicate? If so, then all the hoopla stating how great the Adobe suite is should be edited. I have never seen these products take such a step backward!
Sorry for the rant, but I find this to be ridiculous. What is the workaround, besides converting every document to PDF inside its own software and then combing the PDFs?

InDesign uses a different method of making PDF files when you use the File->Export option in InDesign (even with Acrobat installed, it uses an internal copy of the PDF Library engine). As such, the two applications do not communicate directly with each other.
Support for driving the PDF conversion process from within Acrobat has been removed from Acrobat X, beacuse with the new features in InDesign CS4+, Acrobat doesn't have access to the settings it needs to control things such as multimedia, spreads and transitions. ID CS5 divides PDFs into two concepts - "print" and "interactive", neither of which match the presets used by Distiller. Creating PDFs from InDesign files must therefore take place from within InDesign itself.

I suddenly encounter this error message from Fire Fox.
Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.
I uninstalled the browser and download a new version but it does not resolve the issue.
I know my hard disc has ample space. I do NOT know where to find the Profile directory to fix the read restriction box.

This link shows things to check - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Could+not+initialize+the+browser+security+component

Everytime I use firefox to connect to the internet I get an alert saying that firefox could not initialize the applications security component. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

When I use firefox to get on to the web I get the following message everytime: "Alert: Could not initialize the applications security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your applications pforfile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security feactures." Once I click the "OK button" at the bottom of the alert box firefox starts but does not act right. For instance it will not let me look for software updates. When I click on "Check for Updates" from the "Help" drop down menu I get a message stating: "There were problems checking for, downloading, or installing this update. Firefox could not be updated because: Update XML file malformed (200). You can update firefox manually by visiting this link and downloading the latest version."

The following support articles should help:
