Distiller error

I am getting this error when doing a batch conversion of Word documents to PDF (dragging them to distiller)
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: PK    ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I am on Windows XP Home with Distiller 8.1.2, The documents are created in either word 2003 or word 2007 (doc and docx). I have Word 2003 installed with the  Word 2007 converter add on.

Thank you. It's been a while since I used Distiller.

  • Acrobat 7.0 Distiller error

    I have the complete Adobe Creative Suite Premium package, and I recently have started having issues converting Documents or Spreadsheets to PDF. When I click on "Convert to Adobe PDF", after the PDF window opens, I get a Distiller error message, followed by a pop-up with the option to send an error message to Microsoft, or not to.
    The Error Message reads:
    Acrobat Distiller
    Event Type: InPageError P1: c000009c P2: 00000003
    When I clcik on the 'details' tab, it points to the following 2 files:
    \\WER047e.dir00\acrodist.exe.mdmp
    \\WER047e.dir00\appcompat.txt
    I have completely removed Creative Suite and reinstalled it,to no avail. I have also tried to remove and reinstall only Acrobat 7.0, with no luck. I have installed Acrobat 7.0 on another PC to see if it would work, and it did.
    I am at a loss as to whether this is an error in Acrobat, Distiller or on my PC, and I do not know what steps to take to repair it.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • How am I meant to correct my Framemaker files to solve this Acrobat Distiller error?

    When I attempt to generate a PDF from Framemaker 9 using Distiller 8.1 I get the following error:
    %%[ Error: ioerror; OffendingCommand: imageDistiller; ErrorInfo: DCTDecodeFilter Second SOI or SOFn JPEG marker is disallowed ]%%
    Stack:
    -dict-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%"
    No PDF is created. I've tried 'save as' and 'print'. I have created a PDF from this document several times before with no issues. I haven't replaced any of the screenshots in this version. Where can I find the graphic that is causing the problem? How can I solve this?
    Thanks,
    Niall.

    1. To turn "off" the graphics, simply use the esc v v shortcut (this is a toggle on/off) at the book level (no need to remove anything).
    2. Render in Error's context means, then run it again with no graphics visible (but it's obvious from the Distiller error messages that the problem is in a JPEG that can't be properly interpreted).
    3. To isolate the page containing the errant graphic, a binary search apporach means do one half at a time, i.e. the first half of the book abd then the second half, to see where the error occurs. Then split the offending half section into two-halves again and re-create the PDF until you've narrowed down to the page with the error-prone file.
    However, you indicate that you're able to create the PDFs properly when printing wthout Generate Acrobat Data enabled. What is you default printer instance and which joboptions are specified?

    I wildly guess about why, and have simply Ctrl-P again to print to Adobe PDF, and maybe half the time it works, without any changing, for example, the Photoshop image that I want converted to PDF. Sometimes, superstitiously, I reduce the res/file size and it goes through, but not always. The diagnostic tells me next to nothing, although I was a programmer for 20 years. There seems to be an Acrobat component named "Distiller," and "readstring" is failing for some reason that only one of the product programmers, or someone with similar knowledge, can understand, and the programmer does not tell me the user what to do about it.
    What is the cause of the "ioerror"
    The product I am using is Acrobat 6.

    I do not know anything about Distiller, which I presume is a component of Acrobat 6 Professional. I would know nothing about "opening a file in Distiller." The ioerror occurs when I try to print, via ordinary means, a JPG file while in Photoshop to the printer listed as "Adobe PDF." Usually this works perfectly. When it does fail with the error log inserted into my original post, I just ctrl P again, and about half the time this works. When it does not, I make the totally uninformed guess that the JPG file may be too big, so I resize it smaller. Sometimes it then gets converted to PDF correctly, but sometimes it fails with the same "readstring" error message log. The success and failures appear haphazard, but as a former professional programmer I know that there are deterministic reasons, even if nobody ever discovers them. Debugging programs is very hard work.
    Perhaps someone can suggest a means of forwarding the error message to someone in Adobe programming, who already knows what the error message should mean to me, the user.

    Hi,
    The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
    You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.
    DNG  Converter 8.8

  • PDF Distiller Error

    I have been trying to help my co-worker fix the below distiller error unsuccessfully for the past day.  When printing a pdf with tags and bookmarks, the pdf file gives an error in NotePad and the pdf fails to print.  I've searched some forums and have found other people with similar issues, but no answer as to how to fix this.
    The really strange part is that I can print the pdf just fine from my computer, but my co-worker cannot print the same book file to pdf without the error.  I would just print the file for her, but there are several similar ones to print and they all produce the same error in the same spot.
    I'm guessing there must be some setting that is different on my computer from hers, although I can't find anything set different in FrameMaker.
    If anyone has any suggestions or knows how to fix, that would be awesome!
    Here is the error message that comes up in NotePad:

    As Sheila suggests, this specific problem was encountered with the initial release of FrameMaker 8.0 (FM8.0p236) and fixed in FM8.0p266.
    To apply the patch, select Help > Updates from within FrameMaker. Latest version of FrameMaker 8.0 is  FM8.0p277.

  • I'm getting distiller error after installing CC

    I recently installed the Adobe Creative Cloud. I still have CS6 on my computer. I noticed after the CC installation, I started receiving distiller errors when opening IE9

    I think I may have fixed my problem...  I am no longer seeing the Distiller stopped working pop up and I am now able to print to PDF
    Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit
    My Fonts and program are all installed on the same drive  thus preventing me from gaining access to Distiller to change the settings. Windows would not let me make any changes to the Default Font folder.
    This is what I did...
    Not knowing which font(s) where causing the problem, I moved all but protected fonts (automatically labelled) from the Window's Font folder and placed them in a temporary folder.
    I restarted Distiller DC and great news...the program did not crash and I was able to change the settings to temporarily not include the Windows Fonts .No more pop ups and I can now print to PDF!
    What I am going to do..
    Through the process of elimination, I will gradually restore the fonts I removed from from the Window's folder to find the culprits(s)
    Once I am satisfied that the problem Font(s) are found and no longer  included in the Window's Font folder, I will change the settings in Distiller back (permanently) to include the Window's Font folder.
    In closing, and because so many others are having the same issues, I really do think it would be prudent for Adobe to make the necessary adjustments to their program(s) to prevent this kind of issue.
    Thanks

  • Distiller error when trying to save book as pdf

    I haven't used FrameMaker since about version 5 or 6, but recently I have picked up a few client jobs requiring RoboHelp and FrameMaker. I tearfully parted with the funds for TS 4, crossing my fingers that the investment would pay itself off. I have a client now with FrameMaker 10 files that I am working on in FM 11. When I try to save the book as a pdf from the File menu, I get this error:
    How do I fix this? Please don't tell me I need to buy Acrobat to make this work...you don't want to make an old woman cry.

    > I haven't used FrameMaker since about version 5 or 6 ...
    Was it still installed?
    Was a contemporary version of Distiller still installed?
    That old Distiller is incompatible with FM10 & 11.
    You might need to uninstall it and re-install TCS4.
    As a quick fix, you might try printing to .ps and Distilling separately.
    I don't have FM10 or 11, so the above represents more than I know.

  • After effects cs4 "distiller error"

    I recently bought and installed adobe creative master collection cs4. My computer isn't the best...but i made it meet the minumum requirement nessecary to run the programs.
    Anyway,more to the point.
    Every program seems to work apart from adobe after effects, i was looking forward to using that one.
    When i open it, i have to minimise all other windows, or it won't load, all i hear is the good old MS "beep error sound".
    about 1/10 times it will come up with an error, i don't remember exactly but something along the lines of this.
    "another instance is being used in distiller. this instance will not continue".
    Any Ideas, it's probably something simple i know
    P.S-I installed all the updates nessecary, at 1st it was running, but i made a few clicks and it closed itself, now it refuses to run, i have uninstalled and re-installed it. it gets to installing the media core and stops.

    Another app (some older Adobe software, presumably) is having a hold on your shared PDF libraries or the Adobe font system, which AE also needs to deal with vector files or legacy PostScript fonts. The quick, but unelegant solution is to terminate those programs/ services (Acrobat quick starter for instance) by killing their process in task manager, the long-term solution would be to straighten out that mess and get a handle on which program does what.

  • Can't create PDFs - Distiller Errors

    I'm running a Mac Dual Intel with 10.5.8 and CS3.  I had a problem the other day when opening a PDF file which resulted in being unable to boot up completely.  To resolve the problem I initially tried to reinstall the OS while saving users & network, which didn't work.  I was then able to create a new user and get going.  Everything is working except creating PDFs.
    If I try to print to a pdf it just spools, sits for a few seconds and then stops.  If I print a .ps file and try to distill it, I get the following error message:
    %%[ Error: undefinedresource; OffendingCommand: findresource ]%%

    I have used the original CDs to uninstall & reinstall Acrobat 8 with no luck.  I still get the same message.  Any ideas?

    I haven't moved up to OSX 10.5 yet, but I was wondering if you can do what I do in 10.4
    In the Print Dialog window in the bottom left is a PDF button. Click on that and you have the option "Save PDF as Postscript". And then drop your postscript file onto Distiller.

  • Acrobat Distiller Error 5 message when scanning?

    Acrobat Distiller unable to create temp folder error 5 message when scanning. I can print no problem cannot scan with error?

    Hi,
    Similar issues have been resolved in earlier posts - Re: Error 5 from Acrobat Distiller - Cannot print to PDF
    Assuming by Error 5 that it is related to Access Denied problem:
    1. Clean up the contents of your %temp% folder.
    2. Give full permissions to the %temp% folder
    Try working with Acrobat after this.

  • Distiller Error / Conflict with MainType

    Hi Dilek,
    Thank you very much  for the reply.
    I went to the path which you mentioned upto below.
    Personnel Management - EMployee self-service - Service-Specific Settings - Working time - Leave Request - Processing Processes - Configure output of messages -
    We did nt maintain any rule group for customizing tab.Sap standard is showing as rule group.No details has been maintained.
    Alot of employees are having substitutions,most of the  approvers are able to approve leaves of the employees who are having substitutions.This is a peculiar case,where the approver is getting an error with conflict with substitutions.
    In R/3 we are getting a warning message and able to save the leave for this employee.
    Even i tried with other employees who are having the substitutions,system is behaving the same.
    Please advice me to resolve the problem.
