Illustrator CC 2014- Unknown error when saving as PDF with Printer's Marks

I've been getting an error message (bellow) when I save a ANY of my AI file as PDF with Printer Marls (Trim Marks etc).
All fail attempts were files with: No transparencies - No effects - Simple Type (tried outlined and live) - Simple shapes.
I tried:
- Trash the Adobe Illustrator Settings folder
- Reboot the application
- Reboot computer
- Rebuild file
- Replace fonts
Please help. I'm a print designer and that's vital for my line of work.

Without system information and details like what PDF preset you use nobody can even begin to guess.

Unknown Error When Saving with CS6

I am receiving an unknown error when trying to save my document. I have tried to take off the PDF convertable part, and tried saving it legacy style, but it's still not working. I have a doc open I need to save and won't be able to shut my computer down until I fix this... What could be the issue? Is there a fix for it?
Thank you!!!!!!
Henri

After nearly ripping my eyeballs out and chucking my laptop out the window, I finally fixed the problem!
For some reason I didn't have a CMaps folder in my Adobe - Common Files - Font folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts\Reqrd\CMaps
So I made the "CMaps" folder and copied and pasted the files "Identity-H" and "Identity-V" from an "Adobe Reader" CMap folder, and now I can save text in an *.ai file with PDF Compatibility checked.
It's pretty strange Illustrator was working for 2 years without this folder, and now all the sudden it needed it. Also, this is a very obscure fix.
Hopefully the programmers at Adobe have fixed these bugs in newer versions.

Permission error when saving as pdf

I am using 10.6.7 on a Mini and I get a error when saving a documetn as a PDF. It says I don't have permission to save the file.

Hi Arnis,
I have also posted this separately.
Following is the ditamap i am using to create the PDF. This has booktitle, front matter, toc, chapter and backmatter. I am able to generate a PDF (complete with title page, toc, chapter, backmatter, index) using fop 0.25. However, when I try to create a pdf in FM 9.0, I get only the chapter. How can get the others through FM 9.0. Please provide a solution.

Invalid image error when saving to pdf

I keep getting an invalid image error when saving a MS Publisher file as a pdf. Can anyone help with solving this issue?

You need to provide system and version info and explain how you actualyl produce the PDF. Unless you use the Acrobat PDF printer, I don't see how Adobe software would be involved in any of this, as recent versions of MS Office products can save PDFs natively...

Unknown error when saving proposals - PS 2007

Hi,
I filled out a new proposal but when i save the proposal it generates a page with an “unknown error”:
The numeric part ('9,4') of '9,4em' cannot be parsed as a numeric part of a
Em unit. at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit..ctor(String value, CultureInfo
culture, UnitType defaultType)
at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit.Parse(String s, CultureInfo culture)
at
Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.CommonControls.XmlGridColumn..ctor(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
at
Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.CommonControls.XmlGridNumericColumn..ctor(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
Any idea of what may be happening when saving?
Regards,

Hello Alex
Unknown Error typically occurs because the browser is expecting data for refreshing and the data is missing. Based on this error message, it seems like you probably character data when it was expecting numeric data.
I would try creating a proposal with using only the required fields. If it fails with required fields, then you have narrowed down, which fields are causing the issue. Examine each carefully and pay close attention to fields that may need numeric
information. Do not include $ signs. Use only numbers and decimal.

Unexpected form error when saving as PDF

I created a form and when I tried to save as PDF for offline input, I get an unexpected form error message. I only added open ended questions and name, email in the form. I used an existing template form and modified it (Market Research template)

Hi,
Thanks for sharing it. I was able to save the PDF form. I think I might know the issue. We've heard from other customers that they get an error when trying to save to disk (either from saving a PDF form, or exporting the submission). When we've heard this in the past, uprading to the latest Flash Player seemed to fix the issue.
Can you check and see what version of Flash you have? You can do this by going to here - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Then try installing the latest version of Flash, from here - http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Thanks,

Illustrator drops a filled path when saving as pdf or exporting as an image

Hi everyone,
I am running AI CS5 on an i5 iMac with 8GB memory. I am having an issue where Illustrator is leaving out a filled path upon exporting or saving the AI file as a pdf or bitmap image. The workaround is to open the AI file in Photoshop, and save it from there, and there are no issues; save that my vector image and text has now been rasterized.
The screenshot below shows my AI file as it exists in Illustrator:
And this is after exporting as bitmap or saving as PDF (opened in Acrobat):
Notice the white fill above the DTP mark; it has been left out. I tried to import the file into InDesign and export it has a PDF from there, and the same issue happens, which makes me think it is a problem with the native AI file. I have also copied/pasted the file into another document and the same thing still happens. Any help that you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Bill

It was marked for overprint somehow. Got it!

Error when opening =any= PDF with Reader

Hi! Since installing the new Reader software, I keep getting the same error message whenever I try to open =any= PDF, from those on my system for some time to those just downloaded.
The error message says:
Attempt to access invalid address
I can open any PDF with Sumatra or Foxit, so it's not in the file...
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Are you using EMET Antivirus? I have seen the issue caused due to this. Try disabling it and check.
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

SharePoint Bug? Conflict Error when saving a Page with a "Required" DateTime field in the page layout

Hello,
I've just recently encountered a weird error / bug in SharePoint. Here is the scenario:
- I have a custom column "Test Date" that is of DateTime field type. The field is configured as REQUIRED.
- It is added to a custom Content Type "Test CT" that is based on a "Publishing Page" content type
- I have created a Page Layout "Test PL" which is based on that particular content type.
Now here is what happens:
1. I try to create a page based on both that Content Type and Page Layout in the Pages Library. I manage to create it successfully.
2. However, when I go to try and edit the page, fill-in the required values and try to save it using the PAGE TAB -> SAVE BUTTON, I get the below error/s. Note that this happens no matter what I choose in the drop-down menu for Save Button.
"The file XXX has been modified by USER on DATE"
But I know I am the ONLY user modifying the page.
If I try to save again it gives me options to whether Discard my Changes, Keep Editing, Overwrite Changes, or Merge.
3. HOWEVER, if I use the Save button on the UPPER RIGHT corner of the screen (the shortcut). I am able to save successfully without any errors!
The only thing I've tried that made it work was if I made the DateTime OPTIONAL. But I need it to be REQUIRED.
Is there any workaround to this error / bug?
Thanks

I have some additional info but nothing really good.
If you click the Save in the left side of the Ribbon then it looks like that is when you get the message. If you click the Save in the top right corner you won't get the message. They must be calling different saving functions.
There really is no way around it other than making the field optional which probably removes some server side validation checks causing that message.
We've chosen to remove that field from the page as I needed it required, then they can't publish the page until they go to the properties and set the article date. By removing the field from the page layout the message goes away.
I hope MS will fix this at some point.

Error when saving a file with whatever text

Suddenly when I am going to save a file wich has text, unknow error ocurs and can not save the file, if I delete the text, the file saves fine, no matter what text or font I choose. It is weird. The app was working fine a few days ago.
I have 3 users and the same for all....
I already deleted the AI preferences but the problem persists
Ai CS3
Windows Xp
2gb Ram
Any Ideas?

Thanks all for responses, No, none font added recently, however, I went to C/Windows/Fonts and moved almost any font there to a a folder at the desktop. I know there are some fonts needed by the system and by the app, the problem is to know which exactly they are...
The trick didnt' work, even I reinstalled the app, but notthig works..
My daugther tells me that the problem begun when she opened an Illustrator file someone sent her by email....so, may be a virus

Illustrator CS4 and CS3 freeze when saving a PDF as an AI file

I'm trying to pull apart a couple of PDFs into layers to import them into After Effects. I do this all the time and it's a pretty standard thing which I haven't had any trouble with before, but for the last couple of days whenever I try to save the PDF as an AI file, the damn thing freezes - I get the washing machine of death (I'm on Vista), the program goes greyed out and I have to restart it, losing all the changes. I've tried the following, none of which seem to make any difference:
- Saving to a different drive (C as opposed to an external USB drive)
- Trying to open the PDFs in CS3 rather than CS4
- Trying a couple of different PDFs
I can't reinstall Illustrator as I'm not at the office until the new year and don't have the disks. The PDFs are small (300k or so) and so it shouldn't be their size making the machine hang, surely? I've attached a sample. Specs are - dual core Dell M6300 laptop, 2.6GHz, 4GB RAM, Quadro 1600 graphics.
Any ideas would be very gratefully received....

Sorry I haven't replied in a few days (I'm at my parents' house for Christmas, so not the ideal place to sort out Illustrator problems )
This is REALLY weird. I was wondering whether Illustrator would be able to save PDFs (which are after all basically the same thing as AI files for this purpose) to get around the problem that way. I tried: it saved the thing fine. Next I tried saving what I'd just saved as a PDF, as an AI file. It saved it in a flash without any problems. (This is with the trashed prefs file - I haven't tried reinstating it, yet.) I've just loaded up a 14Mb AI file, and saved it again without trouble.
There's only one thing I can think of that has been changed since the last time I tried this, when Illustrator wasn't working. This is something which was definitely affecting Word 2007: I've deleted a couple of network printers that were on nonexistent IP addresses. (Word wouldn't load anything, even the most basic of docs - it just froze; washing machine of death, grey screen, etc.) The default printer is thus now a Canon USB thing, which isn't plugged in either, but which Windows seems happy to carry on without. Word seemed unable to continue with the network printers installed, as presumably it was trying to contact them and failing. Could Illustrator have been falling into the same trap??
Anyway, whatever the problem, it seems to be working OK now. Thanks both and hope you have a merry Christmas and New Year period.
Best

New version of adobe reader, 11.0.10, produces errors when saving our pdf

Hi,
we notice that the pdf's we're generating in our system are encountering errors with the new adobe 11.0.10 and trying to save them. The system returns an Error 21. After research together with our manufacturer of our pdf-generator we've noticed the issue could be due to the way new Adobe Reader 11.0.10 is handling the encoded compressed format we're using (ASCII85). When we use binary format the error doesn't occur.
But since ASCII85 was working in earlier version, and we are a bit reluctant to do an upgrade of our systems we were wondering if Adobe may be aware of this problem, is working on this case and when a new version of the adobe reader will be released?
thanks for the information

Whatever page orientation was provided during the PDF creation process will be the page orientation in the PDF.
This is what is presented to a PDF "viewer" (such as Adobe Reader).
Adobe Reader (or any PDF "viewer") cannot permanently change page orientation.
Adobe Reader (& other applications) is separate from installed printer drivers so it is expected that the application isn't retaining what is configured in the printer drivers.
(A change to a local or network printer's printer driver configuration does not "touch" the PDF viewer's configuration. - Cinnamon added to the mug of mulled applejack does not change the wine in the adjacent wine glass.)
Adobe Reader defaults to whatever a given PDF page's page orientation happens to be.
Using Acrobat one can permanently change a PDF's page orientation.
Be well...
