Downloaded Adobe 9 -- Using Word 2007 to open PDF doc (Error Msg)

I just updated to Adobe 9 and am getting this signature error message when trying to open a pdf doc from MicroSoft Word 2007:  appname: acrord32.exe appver: 9.3.0.148 ModName: acrord32dll ModVer: 9.3.0.148 Offset: 001937fa
Am not able to get beyond the error msg. 
Help anyone?

I have MicroSoft Word Office 2007.
I recently upgraded from Adobe 8.1 to 9.3.  Now, I can no longer open pdf docs.
I am getting an error that says: "Adobe Reader 9.3 (or 8.1) has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I have uninstalled 9.3 and reinstalled.  I have uninstalled 9.3 and reinstalled 8.1.  I have gone back to 9.3.
I have run 2008 Advanced Registry Optimizer.
The error signature when trying to open a pdf file w/ either Adobe Reader (9.3 or 8.1) is this:
AppName acrord exe AppVer: 9.3.0148 ModName: acrord32.dll ModVer: 9.3.0.148 Offset: 0019371a.
How do I get back to opening pdf docs??

  • Word 2007 - Save as Pdf gives error - This file is in use by another application or user

    I have MS Office 2007 Small Business.
    For months I have been using the "Save as PDF/XPS" option to save my word documents as PDF files.
    All of a sudden, when I click on the publish button within the "save as PDF dialog", I get the error:
    "This file is in use by another application or user."
    - I have tried creating a new word document and I still get this error when I try to save-as pdf. 
    - I have tried opening a document that previously was able to be saved-as-a-pdf, and it no longer works either.
    - I have tried saving from other office applications (excel, powerpoint) that also get errors now.
    I have not personally installed any new software that I recall between when this worked and stopped working for me.
    As far as I can tell there have been no updates explicitly for save-as-pdf in office.
    Is anyone else seeing this problem all-of-a-sudden?
    Thanks.

    I just encountered this problem while trying to save a pdf from Excel 2007.  I had recently updated to Adobe Reader 9.1.
    I received the same error message you're reporting here when I went to Word 2007 and tried to save a pdf file from it as well. 
    I uninstalled Adobe Reader 9.1. 
    Reinstalled the Office 2007 pdf plug-in
    Successfully created pdf files from word and from Excel (which is what I needed to do in the first place).
    I then reinstalled Adobe Reader 9.1 so I could read the PDF files I had just created in Excel and word.
    I then tried to create pdf files from word and excel.  Error messages are back and I'm unable to create pdf's from word or excel.
    So.. why does Office 2007 pdf plugin not work when Adobe Reader 9.1 is installed?
    Frankly I'm getting tired of uninstalling Adobe Reader 9.1 every time I need to create a pdf file in Word or Excel.

  • How do I stop word trying to open pdf docs?

    Word keeps trying top open PDFs. How do I stop it?

    Whoo hoo! That's just what we needed.
    Well, we seem to have confirmed that
    (1) Your DOCX files are opening in Adobe Reader, and
    (2) Your PDF files are opening in Microsoft Word.
    Now, we had a go at fixing this but it seems pretty tangled up. It may be better to just forget double clicking and use File > Open in Word for DOCX files, and File > Open in Adobe Reader for PDF files. If you're having trouble even doing that, let's focus on getting that bit working for you - let us know the problem. 
    (NB Because things are messed up you CANNOT rely on the icon to decide on the type of file. Use Properties to look at the file name or type).

  • Unable to open PDF portfolio (Error Msg: "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in...)

    I am having a problem opening an important PDF portfolio document using Adobe Reader (version 11.0.02) for Mac (Mountain Lion version 10.8.3).
    When I attempt to open the file, I come up with the error message: "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later", and I am unable to view the document. This is becoming very frustrating, as I am attempting to open the document with the new version of Adobe Reader (which I have downloaded multiple times).
    If anyone has a solution for this problem that would be very helpful!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. No I'm not using iPad, I have a MacBookPro. I just wasn't sure which forum was best to post this question in.
    I have flash but Adobe still won't open my documents.
    Anyway, thanks for your help.

  • Word 2007 published as pdf opens by default in Photoshop

    I'm running XP SP2. When I "Save As" a Word 2007 document as "PDF", and then click "Publish", (the file name has an extension of .pdf, and the file type is .pdf), Photoshop opens automatically. What I want to have happen is for the the .pdf document I have created to automatically open in Acrobat Reader, in .pdf format.
    I also note that I do have a .pdf printer installed when I go to print from Word.
    The Adobe products I have installed are Distiller 4.0 (Acrobat 4.0), and Acrobat Reader 8.1.2. Also, Pagemaker 7.0.2 and Photoshop 6.0.1.
    I am totally befuddled.

    It is likely that you have file associations messed up in Windows. If you double click a PDF in Explorer, does the file open in Reader or Photoshop? If the latter, you need to fix the file associations. Keep in mind that saving as a PDF from WORD is not the same as creating a PDF using Acrobat (which apparently do not have). For questions about Reader, you should go to the Reader forum in the future. Maybe my guess has answered your current problem.

  • I have had a trial version of Acrobat X1 Pro - I have decided not to buy at this stage - for some time it has been conflicting with opening PDF docs after saving as from word 2007 - I uninstalled Pro X1 and now when I save as from word 2007 to PDF it will

    Can anyone help with this - do I have to uninstall Reader and then reinstall?

    I have had a trial version of Acrobat X1 Pro - I have decided not to buy at this stage - for some time it has been conflicting with opening PDF docs after "saving as" from word 2007 - I uninstalled Pro X1 and now when I "save as" PDF from word 2007 to PDF it will save the document as a PDF but will not open the document to display after publishing - I have to got to where the file has been saved to view the new PDF document - this is really annoying - do I have to delete adobe reader and reinstall it - adobe needs to look at this conflict with acrobat pro as I have even gone it to properties and tried to have adobe reader as the default PDF program - the main issue is that I cannot view the PDF after publishing it from word 2007

  • I have downloaded adobe digital editions but can't open or launch the program

    I have downloaded Adobe Digital editions but can't open or launch the program.

    What operating system.
    If Vista, read http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/installing-digital-editions-20-windows.html
    If XP, quite a few people have problems.  One resolution is to install the older 1.7.2 version instead (which also avoids various other bugs).
    Version 1.7.2 is a little difficult to find,
    I found it for PC at http://www.tucows.com/preview/853736/Adobe-Digital-Edition-For-EBooks
    I'm not sure where there is a Mac version.

  • Just downloaded adobe XI trial and can not convert pdf to word, says trial is period over

    just downloaded adobe XI trial and can not convert pdf to word, says trial is period over. what can i do

    For some reason this seems to happen to some. It may be that you have a date issue on the machine and Acrobat noted it. By the way, Adobe is the name of the company, not a product.
    I have no idea how Adobe sets and tracks the trial information. It may be there is something else that has caused an issue and Acrobat thinks you have already had the trial on the system and uninstalled it. As far as I know, there is nothing you can do. You might be able to check with sales to see if there is a work-around, but users can do nothing to help you.
    Sorry, hope you can find a way to test the product. It might also be related to the version of Windows that you did not state.

  • Problems converting Word 2007 images to PDF

    Hello everyone,
    I am in desperate need for help. I have been trying to convert my word 2007 files into PDF but my graphs and tables come out not as clear as the orginals, the outline of images is thicker, the characters seem darker/bold and occasionally with distortions.
    I have Microsoft Office Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
    I really hope someone can help me because it is a major issue for me as I need to publish the content of my file very soon.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Just to check things here are a few steps.<br /><br />Checking that the process works in basic form:<br />1. Print to the Adobe PDF printer with Print To File selected.<br />2. Open the file in Distiller to convert to PDF.<br />a. WORKS - That means things work fine and we need to look for AcroTray.<br />b. FAILS - Look at the messages that Distiller creates. That typically provides information on the problem.<br /><br />For AcroTray:<br />1. Open Explorer and go to the Distiller folder. It is typically in Program Files>Adobe>Acrobat <your AA number>>Distiller. In that folder you should see AcroTray.exe. (in my case the folder is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Distillr) Put a link to AcroTray.exe in the Startup Folder of Windows so that it always starts with Windows.<br /><br />Once you have started AcroTray, you should be able to print directly to the Adobe PDF printer without the file option and get a PDF directly. All that AcroTray does is automate the print to file and running of Distiler. PDF Maker is adds an additional step by putting PDF Marks in the printer file that is written before running Distiller.<br /><br />Hope that helps. Bill

  • I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player 10 and i keep getting an error message Unable to load a G

    I'm trying to download Adobe Flash

    Hi Terry, A post is the message that anyone has just typed in. When you replied to me, that was your post. I am replying to you so this is my post. Think of it as sending an email or mailing a letter at the "post" office.
    Now right at the top of the last post (message) you sent me is a Post#, then the date and time and under that the thread subject "Re: I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player 10 and I keep getting......
    The first time that you posted, you described your problem. The next post after that is #1 and so on.
    The Adobe Flash Player forum works very much like email except there are a lot of "threads". A thread is what each message you see is called. Everyone that registers can start their own thread (subject). Then other people see it and can post to your thread and try to help you with your problem.
    You did pretty good, you registered, and you started your first thread
    Now do you feel somewhat more relaxed?  Hope so.
    Take a look now and see if you can find the Post# and etc that I described above.
    Thanks,

  • I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File") in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.

    I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File") in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.
    However, with v11.0, the same command, in Windows 8, it does not open the PDF document. I can see the Acrobat(32) started in the task manager, but the document does open. Not sure how I can troble shoot this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    I haven't use the C# API but I imagine it is the same as C ShellExecute. Which in turn is the same thing (in essence) as double clicking in Windows Explorer.
    So... does Adobe Reader run normally on this machine?
    And does it start and open if you double click on a PDF file?
