I'm using Acrobat 8 Standard on my PC Windows 8 machine.   Suddenly,  I can't create PDF from MS Word 2007.

When I attempt to create a PDF from a MS Word document, I get the following message: "Unable to Acrobat PDF files.   Acrbat PDF Maker.   You must have administrator priveleges to install these files.   Please contact your local system administrator."
I am the administrator off all programs on my PC..
Please help.

There is no "update to Windows 8" available for the Acrobat 8 product family.
The updates at the ftp site are those for Acrobat 8.x but, again, they Do NOT Update Acrobat 8.x to be compatible with Windows 8.
Be well...

  • Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

    Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

    Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
    I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

  • Can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word?

    Downloaded the 8.1.4 update and now I can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word.  If I try to create a PDF from the print menu, I get a message indicating that there are no print drivers for this...any ideas?

    Thanks for responding.  Yep, I tried repairing it...no dice.  Then I realized that I'd re-installed AA Pro 8 (having completely given up on the AA Pro 9 upgrade that crashed my system) but not the updates.  So I went through and re-installed each update.  Still no dice. Then I did another repair. Nope.  When I try to create a PDF via the print menu, I get a "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup."  This tells me that I have driver problem. But everything else prints fine, and I'm pretty sure Acrobat doesn't have drivers.  I'm stumped...

  • Can't Create PDF "from file" using any MS Office files

    Acrobat 8.1.1 Pro. (OS = XP), as part of the CS3 premium edition.
    I can no longer get Acrobat to recognize any of the MS Office applications extensions (.doc, .ppt, etc...) for use with either Create PDF "From File" or when using the Combine Files feature to Merge or Package. The extensions are no longer even listed as an option in the dialog box, or in the Preference settings under "Convert to PDF".
    FYI- I can still use the PDF Maker functionality from within the MS Office application to create a PDF.
    Any Idea what could have happened, or more importantly how to fix?
    ***Update***
    I have re-installed the Acrobat 8 application, and the problem still exists.
    I'm truly puzzled.

    I get this with my PC and I ran detect-repair and reinstalled. Some PDF's I can open and other's I cannot. I can send the email to a cohort and they can open fine.
    "Can't create file: Right-click the folder you want to create the file in and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder"
    Any ideas would be great.
    Thanks!

  • Create PDF from a Word document within Acrobat

    Hi!
    I am having trouble to create a PDF from a Word document within Acrobat itself, and not by using PDF Maker in Word. When I try to create a PDF using Acrobat, it gives me the choice to choose any Office format file, but Word format doesn't appear. I can convert from an Excel document or a PowerPoint document, but not from a Word document, even if Word 2010 is installed and works perferctly. Why?
    I know I can make a PDF in Word itself by printing to the Adobe PDF printer or by using PDF Maker, but I want to resolve the issue in Acrobat that prevents me to select a Word document in the Create PDF dialog window. You can see the dialog box in the screenshot attached.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    I am using Acrobat X version 10.1.8 on Windows 7 Home Premium and I have Office 2010 installed (with Word 2010).

    Thanks for your reply. PDF Maker works in all of my Office applications. However, in Acrobat, the file formats available for me to create PDF from figure all the Office file formats except the one for Word. This is not normal. At my school, Acrobat X and Office 2007 are installed, and I can use there both PDF Maker in Word and creating PDF from Word document within Acrobat.
    So I think maybe there's a key in my Windows registry that is not set correctly? or something like that. I repaired the installation of Office 2010, and I did so for Acrobat X too, but it doesn't help. Any idea of how I can resolve that?

  • I can't create PDFs from CS3 programs in Acrobat Pro XI. Compatibility issue or just Acrobat?

    I was just upgraded to Acrobat Pro XI this morning. InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator don't seem to be supported file types for creating a PDF from Acrobat.  While I usually create my PDFs from the authoring program, I occasionally need to make a lot of PDFs of different files at once, and making them from Acrobat makes sense instead of opening each individual file.
    Is this just a compatibility issue? We have requested upgrades to CS6, but it will be a while before it gets approved (if it gets approved).  Did someone think it was a brilliant idea not to allow PDFs from the CS products to be created from Acrobat instead of the authoring program?

    Can you describe your workflow a little more? Are you saying that you created PDFs of InDesign documents using Acrobat directly -- not using InDesign?
    If that was possible in CS3, I must have missed it.
    FWIW, I can't select CS6 InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop documents in Acrobat X. You can only select a handful of image formats, HTML or PostScript/EPS.

  • Acrobat 8 Pro and Create PDF from a Website

    Hi,
    I'm out of sorts. I can't seem to be able to turn a website thread into PDF file using my Acrobat 8 Pro (Mac user)....
    The thread I'm trying to save has multiple pages and all Acrobat 8 does is save only the first page and not any of the subsequent pages.... unless I manually go page by page but then I end up with multiple PDF files that I would have to combine and that is just too time consuming --and would have to learn to do that as well.
    Here's the link to the website thread I'm trying to convert into PDF:http://tinyurl.com/6guqpf
    Could someone please advice what I may be doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    R

    Thanks Paul, I've tried to Save as PDF in the OSX print dialogue box- but it only saves the first page of the thread I'm trying to save (when most threads have more than 1 page, sometimes up to 30 pages each)
    This is what my friend wrote and how she found a way to solve her problem.... however I don't have Adobe 5 as she does and I would like to not have to get Adobe 5 but use only Adobe 8....
    <<I start Adobe 8.
    Select Create PDF from Web Page and paste in:
    http://learningcenter.atkins.com/sessions/discussions/index.jsp?courseSessionId=7233&webPa geId=1000007&courseId=3856
    When it's made the first page (see attached) [<<=== can't attach here since you need a password to view it.]
    I save it and exit.
    Then I open Adobe 5 and then I can click on each topic to start capturing the information (meaning all pages to each thread without a problem).
    If I click on a topic in Adobe 8 ... it makes a page in a new browser window ... and I'm lost.>>
    Do you or anyone else know why this is so? Why Adobe 8 would open a page in a new browser window and Adobe 5 doesn't?
    Thanks again,

    Acrobat Pro 8 is not compatible with Win 7---especially for creating pdfs.

  • 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.

  • Using Acrobat 9 Standard on desktop running Win 7 32Bit - and an HP1536dnf MFP  -  Scanner function

    Using Acrobat 9 Standard on desktop running Win 7 32Bit - and an HP1536dnf MFP  -  Scanner function won't run - message states that driver missing  - have tried to re-load original software many times from CD and download from HP website - that times out.  Have tried many times to load in just driver - won't load-in.  Have tried the unplug from power source and turning off firewall.  Nothing works.  Paid a lot of money for Acrobat and very helpful tool when I was running WinXP, but out of business since loading Win7 . . . . . . . Please help?

    That sounds you are having a problem with the scanner driver, not Acrobat.  Are you installing the Windows 7 drivers with the correct bitness?

  • Converting PDF to JPG using Acrobat XI Standard

    I know I can convert a PDF into a JPG using Acrobat Pro but I'm wondering if I can do the same using Acrobat XI Standard.  The only thing I've read online is that Standard can convert PDFs into Excel, Word or Power Point docs.

    Yes, you can do this with Acrobat XI Standard. The only export feature that is not available in Std. is the ability to convert to PowerPoint.

  • Using Acrobat 8 Standard, XI reader got auto-loaded now can't combine files

    I was using Acrobat 8 Standard for a while (mainly to combine files).  Recently, my Microsoft updates automatically loaded Acrobat Reader XI and now I can't combine files anymore.  Is upgrading to Acrobat XI Standard a free download?  If not, do I just need to uninstall Acrobat XI reader?  Help would be appreciated as I use the combine files feature frequently.  Thank you.

    I really don't get the feeling that it was Adobe Reader which broke the functionality. But if you think it was, you can uninstall it and see if that works. I would rather suggest repairing Acrobat 8 from Control Panel.
    If you already have the serial number of Acrobat 8 std, you can upgrade to Acrobat XI standard by paying the upgrade cost which is just $139. Acrobat XI is more robust and efficient. It also comes with many new features. To get more details please visit www.adobe.com/products/acrobatstandard.html
