Getting general error when saving site using "create PDF from"

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0.0 for Mac, trying to save websites. This started working fine, but I had to shut down in the middle of a site being saved. Now when I try to save a site  using Web Capture/create PDF from I get a "general error, nothing was saved". What do I need to do, remove, replace, reinstall or whatever to get this feature working again?
Also can anyone tell me how to set the feature that saves web pages with the headers and footers showing date, time, URL, page title, etc. I often use the print feature (save to PDF) and up until a day or so ago it always saved with those headers and footers. Now they're missing, which is what prompted me to try saving entire sites, above. I remember setting these a long time ago and being able to choose what went on the left, right,header and footer, but I cannot find those settings now.
Thanks,
Michele

Well, after downloading Applejack, I am completely confused. I'm not sure I understand what will happen if I do any of these steps: see 3a.. "clean out all cache files including the Launch Services database and any cached User Pictures". What kinds of things will I lose? Can I choose only the Acrobat cache files?  I don't want to have to spend hours or days resetting things as I'm in the middle of a project with a close deadline. I also don't really understand fully what will happen with all the other things they discuss.  The instructions say (I just copied and pasted these):
3.  Auto mode: You can let the script run through its tasks automatically by typing 'applejack auto'. If you want the machine to automatically restart at the end of its tasks, use 'applejack auto restart'. You can also tell the computer to shut down automatically at the end by using the command line 'applejack auto shutdown'.
3a. Deep Auto mode: If you want to let AppleJack clean out all cache files, including the Launch Services database and any cached User Pictures, use 'applejack AUTO' instead. Use this if you still have problems booting after running AppleJack already.
4.  Interactive mode: To run through just one task, or to run the script manually, type 'applejack' and then choose tasks from the menu. Running the script in interactive mode has the benefit of giving you options for working with user level cache and preference files, not just the default system level caches and preferences. To select an option, type the highlighted number or letter associated with the action, and then hit return. Whenever you enter a choice in AppleJack, you will need to hit return for that choice to take effect.
4.  Corrupted preference files are moved into a directory that will mirror the original preference directory, with (Corrupt) added to the directory name. For example, corrupt preferences files found in ~/Library/Preferences will be moved to ~/Library/Preferences (Corrupt). After running AppleJack, you'll probably want to take a look at them (and most likely throw out those folders). As of version 1.4.2, AppleJack now creates a copy of the directory tree inside the (Corrupt) folder so that if any files were deeply nested inside the original preference folder, they will be placed in an identical directory hierarchy in the new (Corrupt) folder. This way, if for any reason you would want to move a preference file back, you know where it should go.
6.  AppleJack has a primitive logging mechanism. It writes a journal of most of its activity to /var/log/AppleJack.log. AppleJack will automatically reset the log the next time you run it, if the file should ever reach a size somewhat over 500k.

  • I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

    I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create>pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

    Provide you have Acrobat 9 installed in an OS for which Acrobat 9 is compatible then you can use the functionality.
    As well, you need a scanner connected, powered up, and the software installed. Acrobat 9 "prefers" TWAIN drivers.
    Always visit the scanner vendor's site and download - install the latest greatest software.
    n.b., The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
    As well the Acrobat 9.x product family is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
    Be well...

    hey I'm getting an error when I'm using an AU plugin its saying"Host Error: illegal midi databyte2 an my logic crashes any tips? thanks

    There is a minor issue with Logic where Logic sends corrupt midi data
    to plugins when recording in loopmode (looptool),
    we've released a hotfix for ElectraX 1.2 as well as fixed this in
    ElectraX 1.3 (currently in beta).
    ElectraX 1.3 is set for release in early July and if I remember
    correct the current ElectraX demo also has the fix included,
    so redownloading/reinstalling the demo should take care of it.
    In the meanwhile another possible workaround is to switch off
    loopmode when recording.

    When I try to create pdf from scanner, Acrobat shuts down, please help!!

    Hi miketayber,
    We would love to help, but need to know a bit more to get to the root of the problem. Please tell us:
    What version of Acrobat are you using
    What operating system you're on
    Whether you've been able to scan previously
    What you're scanning to (do you have the latest drivers?)
    Is there an error message or number associated with the crash?
    We look forward to hearing back from you.

  • I always get "general error" when I change value of "Digitizer"

    I tried to capture a Prores422 project by FCP6 and Kano3 card.
    I changed setting of "Capture Preset Editor" to ensure capture what I needed.
    I think parameter value of "Digitizer" will determine Bit Depth of the project.
    The original value of "Digitizer" is "AJA 8-bit Digitizer". If I selected "AJA 10-bit Digitizer",it will pop up generel error.
    If I re-select the value to "AJA 8-bit Digitizer", it will still pop up general error.
    Please give me a hand.
    Is bit depth (8bit or 10bit) is determined by the setting of "Digitizer"?
    If yes, why does it always pop up general error when I changed it.

    From the information available it appears that your install could be conflicting with a previous version or installation.  I would recommend reviewing your installation logs to verify the root cause of your difficulties.  You can find directions on how to review your installation logs at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

  • Why do I get an error when trying to use a link in the forum?

    I just tried to use the link that Varad offered in Redirect certain users with login procedure and I got an error:
    The specified thread [0] was not found.
    I got the same thing when trying to use a similar link a couple of days ago. They sound like something I might benefit from, but I can' get to them.
    The link URL looks like Re: logon username determines page that opens, how can I accomplish this?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    P.S. I'm using Firefox 3.0.4

    Tony,
    That's what I thought, but apparently it worked for Stefan. If you go to Stefan's post (first link above) do you also see the same link as I have attempted to copy? In Stefan's post, do you see the question mark in a diamond?
    Thanks,

  • Getting spool error when trying to use a network printer from a remote computer.

    I have 2 HP deskjet printers attached to my computer.  One is a D4260 and the 2nd is an F4280 all in one.  I would like both of these printers to be available on our wireless network so that my girlfriend can use the printers from her laptop. The D4260 is working just fine but when I try to print to the all in one it looks as if it printed on her computer but I get a spooling error on mine and no printing.

    Go to hp.com.au, top right corner select support & drivers
    select software & driver download type in your printer name HP Deskjet F4280
    then select your operating system-step 1
    on step 2 select utility diagnostic tools,select HP Print Diagnostic Utility
    run the software, select your printer, then diagnose...then select fix all
    this software automatically detects spooler errors & fix them
    just follow the instructions from the HP Print Diagnostic Utility
    good luck.

  • I get "General Error" when trying to playback unrendered video, and when trying to export to my desktop and I'm not sure why.

    I import video footage into Final Cut Pro 7, added some effects like motion blur and colour correction, and cannot playback the video whilst it is not rendered. I click the play button but it just says "general error". This also happens when trying to export to my desktop "general error" once again. Does anyone know what is going on?
    My RT settings are:
    Safe RT or Unlimited RT (I get the error on either setting)
    Framerate & video quality - Dynamic
    27" iMac i7 @ 3.4GHz
    4GB Ram
    2GB Radeon 6970m

    Hmmmm it seems to be just that file. The rest of my files are fine. I tweaked some settings and tried other files and it worked, so maybe it was just me, I am very new to Final Cut after all. Turns out I'm OK now! Thanks anyway!

  • Getting an error when tried to access task form from worklist app

    Hi All,
    I am using 10.1.3.4 BPEL PM. I have created a bpel process with a human task.
    From the worklist application, when the approver clicks on: Task Id (ideally it should open task form).
    In my case, I am getting an error:
    Error while inoking URL to display the content. Error while invoking URL. http://bluejays.appsassociates.com:7780/default/EditPayloadPOC1/v2009_05_21__82618/EditPayloadPOC1/EditPayloadPOC1.jsp Check the underlying exception and correct the error. Contact oracle support if error is not fixable..
    If you need more information, please check with your administrator with the following exception-identifier: "2009/05/21_12:16:43:777_oc4jadmin"
    It works fine in SOA suite 10.1.3.1. and does not work in BPEL PM 10.1.3.4
    The only difference is I deployed in 10.1.3.1 using Ant script of bpel project and in 10.1.3.4 I deployed using the BPEL Console itself by browsing the project jar(Since I am getting error when tried to deploy it using Ant).
    Is it a known bug or am I making anything wrong. Tried with both Autogeneration and Custom form
    I followed: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11036_01/integrate.1013/b28981/workflow.htm#BABCBAEI
    Thanks
    Sakrishna Panuganti

    Hi does your bpel process has more than one human tasks, e.g., HumanTask1, HumanTask2, HumanTask3...then pl. check and manually fix this below ...e.g.,
    check for all of the human tasks workflow contexts tasks forms for dynamic pointers for
    domain_id, process_id, process_version.
    edit public_html/HumanTask1/form/ear/META-INF/application.xml
    <web-uri>workflowform.war</web-uri>
    <conteit-root>/${domain_id}/${process_id}/${process_revision}/HumanTask1</context-root>
    edit public_html/HumanTask2/form/ear/META-INF/application.xml
    <web-uri>workflowform.war</web-uri>
    <conteit-root>/${domain_id}/${process_id}/${process_revision}/HumanTask2</context-root>
    edit vi public_html/HumanTask3/form/ear/META-INF/application.xml
    <web-uri>workflowform.war</web-uri>
    <conteit-root>/${domain_id}/${process_id}/${process_revision}/HumanTask3</context-root>
    and deploy the process again via jdeveloper or preferably via ant script and try, it worked just fine for us.

  • Annoying error when saving file as a PDF (error ID=54)

    Over the past week or so we have had a error that is driving us nuts. When working in a AI file and trying to save as a PDF we get this error: "Cant save the illustrator file. File may be read only, or the file is in use, or you dont have the required permissions. ID=54". Anyone have a work around? We have to go back to file and re-save every time. Thanks

    Just saving to the computer.
    I dont see how permissions could be a issue since it lets me after save to a PDF after I close the error box and re-save again.

  • I get an error when trying to open certain PDF files in Lion on Mac.

    I am having trouble opening CERTAIN .PDF files on my MacBook Pro. I am running Lion. The file is attached to a Gmail message as a standard .PDF file.
    This is my error:
    "File "XX" cannot be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format Preview does not recognize."
    I have also downloaded Adobe X reader to see if the compatibility issue is just with Preview. I get an error that the file is "damaged" and cannot be recovered. Meanwhile, the file downloads/opens just fine on Windows XP Office and iOS (on my iPad). So I am thinking that it must be some sort of compatibility issue with Lion.
    So far, other .PDF files open on my MB Pro. I haven't tried all of my saved .PDF files, but I did try a couple.
    Anybody have any suggestions? There seems to be an error with this particular file opening in Lion, but not with the same file opening on another operating system.

    The issue mysteriously resolved itself. I shut down the computer, and the next day I booted back up and tried to open the same file, and everything was OK. Very bizarre, since I had opened it previously on this same MacBook. Anyway, anyone have any insight into what happened?

  • Error when saving a book to PDF

    I had saved one previous copy of this unfinished book some time ago but now that I have finished it I get an error each time I try. After selecting save as PDF I get the error: "No pages from the document were selected to be printed". I have closed iphoto and re-opened, rebooted, but nothing seems to help.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    There is no file "com.apple.iphoto.plist" as they claim. May be an '08 file. I'm using 6.0.6
    This file has to exist. You are probably looking in the wrong Library. It's not the Library directly inside your Hard Drive; you want the one in your Users folder. Navigate like this:
    Mac HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    Delete the file and see if it helps.

  • Using Create PDF from Web Page; Resulting PDF is missing text

    Trying to create pdf's from various web pages.  Generally process works very well but some pages have missing text and bad formatting.   Specifically; http://www.robinhood.ca/Recipes/Occasions/Spring/Apricot-Tartlets
    When I create the PDF; I am missing the text under "directions" and the description is truncated and forced to the far right.  
    Seems like I am missing a formatting or font setting but I have adjusted everything I can think of and have had no luck.  
    Running Acrobat Pro XI.  
    Anybody have any thoughts?  

    yes; looking at the source; seems that <table> is being captured correctly but the part that is missing is a <div>.    I'm not an expert at deciphering the page source but seems like that is the problem.
    Is there a work around? 
    when I print via the firefox plugin it prints fine.  but i ultimately want to capture several layers on the site if I can get the formatting resolved.
