PDFMaker never completes - Acrobat 9 & Outlook 2003

Windows 7 x64
Outlook 2003 SP3
Acrobat 9 Pro Extended
When I try to convert the selected message to PDF I am asked where to save the file then the conversion activity window pops up. But the conversion never begins and the window just stays up forever. When I click cancel I am asked if I really want to cancel PDFMaker.
PDFMaker works correctly in the other Office components (Word, Excel, etc.) just not in Outlook.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Greg

It appears that this update will break the convert function in MS Outlook (XP,2003 and 2007)

PDFmaker (Acrobat Standard 7) not working in Outlook 2003

I recently read that I could archive my Outlook e-mails using PDFmaker. I was excited, as my .pst files are getting....large. I looked for the PDFmaker toolbar in Outlook, but it wasn't there. I fixed that problem by going to Outlook's disabled items and enabling PDFmaker. I tried selecting a folder with 3 e-mails in it and clicking the button for 'Convert Selected Folder to Adobe PDF'. A dialog box came up, had me select where to save the PDF and what to call it, and I clicked the 'Save' button. Another dialog box popped up with a progress bar, and 3 numbers at the bottom indicating how many files had been converted and how many it had skipped, etc. The progress bar made it about half-way across, and the dialog box listed 0 files as being skipped, and 2 as having been converted, and then the dialog box disappeared. I went to the folder where I tried to save the PDF's... and it's empty. No PDF files. If I go to 'My Recent Documents' in my 'Start' menu, there's an alias to the PDF file I was supposed to be creating, but clicking it gives an error that file can't be found. Searching my hard drive for a file with the name of the PDF I was trying to create also does not find anything. I got no error messages, and can't find any error logs.
I've tried just about everything I can think of; I've tried:
1) Clicking the button to convert a folder (doesn't work, no error messages)
2) Choosing the menu option to convert a folder (doesn't work, no error messages - same results as 1)
3) Trying to convert a single file (button and menu option) ((doesn't work, no error messages - same results as 1)
4) Tried using PDFmaker in other Office applications (worked fine)
5) Trying to just print to PDF (i.e. PDF distiller works fine)
6) Looked at troubleshooting articles for Acrobat, but they only troubleshoot for Word, and my PDFmaker works just fine in Word
7) Did detect and repair multiple times in both Acrobat and Outlook
8) Uninstalled Adobe Reader and re-ran detect and repair
9) Went to Add/Remove Programs and modified my installation of Acrobat to remove the Outlook PDFmaker component, started and quit Outlook, and modified Acrobat again to put Outlook PDFmaker components and sub-components on my hard drive.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Report your error messages so your peers, like me, can make suggestions..
Official recommendations are on http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/verizon/mail/ymail/basics/mail-12859445.html NOTE THE URL's Stick with them if using YAHOO. I have not found a newer recommendation for pop.yahoo.verizon.net that you mention, and the help page was updated this month.
Note some have had trouble with missing intermediate certificates so get encryption errors. Shouldn't happen (except if you are missing the root certificate, which is your responsibility), but can be fixed by installing manually.
Some have reported needing to specify [email protected] rather than just userid, I believe on the SMTP side. Normally you specify only userid and password without the @verizon.net.

PDFMaker in Outlook 2003 Stopped Working After Upgrade to 8.1.4

I am running Outlook 2003 and Acrobat Standard version 8. I recently accepted an automatic update to Acrobat Standard 8.1.4. Now, whenever I run PDFMaker in Outlook 2003, none of the email messages I desire to archive are converted. In my logfile created after the conversion, the note next to each email header states simply "Item failed to convert". PDFMaker was working perfectly before the update to 8.1.4, and now it appears to run fine, but fails to convert any of the messages.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Carey

Thanks very much. That seemed to do the trick. Although running a repair on Acrobat didn't help, running it on Outlook seems to have fixed the problem.

Can I create pdf files from Outlook 2003 messages with Acrobat XI Standard?

Can I create pdf files from Outlook 2003 messages with Acrobat XI Standard?

Yes, Outlook 2003 is compatible with Acrobat XI Standard and you can create PDFs from emails.

Why did Acrobat Pro X slow down attaching pdfs in Outlook 2003?

I've unfortunately joined the club of slooooow attaching pdfs to Outlook 2003 after installing Acrobat Pro X.
I can send any attachment other than a pdf to Outlook 2003 and it sends instantly/normally. Since installing Acrobat Pro X 10.1.0 there's an instant lag as soon as I click the pdf to attach it. Outlook appears to freeze for several minutes and during this time I can work in other programs. Then all of a sudden, everything is normal and I can send the email, with pdf attached like normal.
I'm running Windows XP, Service pack 3 and everything else in the 5.5 suite is working fine.
There was some discussion in the Reader forum regarding the subject but I wasn't sure if the fixes described would apply to the full Acrobat program.

Acrobat Reader 7, 8 & 9 + Outlook 2003 = Freezing

Hi guys,
Here's my issue:
A few of our users here use the "Attach to email..." option within Acrobat Reader after opening a PDF from an email within Outlook 2003 (why they refuse to just forward the damn e-mail, I do not know). Anyways, after typing into the e-mail, they hit "Send" and then both Outlook and Acrobat Reader freeze up. Now just to add to the fun, this happens intermittently. Sometimes twice a day, sometimes twenty.
Things I've tried:
- Reinstalling Acrobat Reader.
- Installing versions 7, 8 and 9 (uninstalling the previous one first of course)
- Reinstalling Outlook 2003.
- Reinstalling the entire Office 2003 package.
- Reconfiguring his Exchange settings (cached mode, etc)
Does anyone have any ideas? I see a number of people with this problem, but no real fix apart from the whole "Don't use Acrobat Reader, hurr" response. We do not have this luxury.
If an Adobe Rep sees this and can even give me an answer of "This is a current issue and it's being looked into.", that would be fine. I need to give these users something to get them off my back.
Cheers.

You do not need Reader and Acrobat on the same system. Acrobat will do all that reader does.
If you have both installed on the same system, you should remove Reader using the Windows Install Cleanu Utitlity and repair Acrobat. If repairing Acrobat does not solve the problem, you remove Acrobat using the Windows Install Cleanu Utitlity and reinstall Acrobat.
Good luck.

Adobe pdfmaker 6.0 is missing in Outlook 2003

Hi,
I have users running XP Pro with Office Small Business 2003 with SBS 2003 server. I have some users at this point that doesn't have pdfmaker toolbar in their Outlook 2003 but appear in Word 2003. We have Adobe Standard 6.0. As per the user, they had it but now the pdfmaker is missing from outlook 2003. However in the mean time they can print to Adobe PDF from "File" menu on top left and select "Print" then selecting "Adobe PDF" to email file to
pdf. How can I enable or get the pdfmaker back on Outlook 2003. Word and Excel have pdfmaker toolbar appear.
I did the following steps:
I checked the disabled item and nothing was listed. then I checked in "Add-In Manager" and "COM Add-Ins" and didn't see pdfmaker or something like that. I even tried to add "PDFMOultook.dll" in "COM Add-Ins" from Adobe folder and that didn't get added. Then I removed "OutlVisible" key or changed the data value to 0 and rebooted the PC. But that didn't do anything, so I restore the registry that I backed up. I even reinstalled Adobe Standard 6 and the whole office in the beginning. Hope someone has another solution for this.
Thanks,
Ankur

Acrobat Reader XI and Outlook 2003

After upgrading the Acrobat Reader on our Citrix-Servers with Windows 2003 and Outlook 2003, it is not possible to send pdf from Acrobat Reader via E-Mail. When we select the function to send the document per mail (with the default mail programm), the focus switches to Outlook (when started), but no mail with the pdf-file as attachment is opened.
On a system with Outlook 2007, there are no problems.
Is Acrobat XI not compatible with Outlook 2003 anymore? Is it a problem only in combination with Windows 2003 or Citrix?
Is anybody able to get this to work in a similar environment?
Thanks for any help.
Rgds.
Stefan

This is a known issue with Outlook 2003 and will be fixed in the next patch.

Trying to use the Tour 9630 with Outlook 2003 Calendar, Memo/Notes & Tasks. Can't Config & Complete....

I would like to use my Outlook 2003 with my Blackberry Tour 9630 to use the Calendar, Memo & Task features instead of entering everything on the BB. I use my Outlook Express 6 for my email input and output. The Outlook 2003 is not connected to the internet for use but on my computer as a free standing application. Everytime I attempt to config the Desktop with Calendar, Memo & Tasks I get a "Option Values is unacceptable. Pls check options properties". I do pick MS Outlook as the application to connect but continuely get that message above when I am at the end of the config process at selecting NEXT. I would like to use Outlook 2003 if it is ok to use and connect. Or is there any other application that I can easily purchase for an easier connect and config too. Pls assist me. Ed

Hello BklynBoy273 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Have you entered any information into Outlook yet?
The BlackBerry communicates with the Outlook data folder, called a pst.
KB02362 may offer you some help trying to get the sync configured.
Let me know how you make out.
Thanks! And have a great day

Complete Calendar syncing from Outlook 2003 to Treo 750

Hi -
I am using a Treo 750, Outlook 2003, and Active Sync 4.5.0 with Windows XP, SP3.
Outlook's Calendar shows information from ~1997 to the present, but when I sync'ed my Treo 750 only the Calendar items from approximately when I first connected my Treo were copied to my Treo's Calendar. None of the older items were copied to the Treo Calendar.
How can I get these older items into my Treo Calendar?
Thanks - John

Hi. Welcome to the Palm forums. If I am understanding this correctly your calendar syncs successfully however, you have very little history syncing to your device. First, sync your device so you are synchronized and connected (if not the next step will not be available). Then, on the computer in active sync go to tools-options and you will see a list of the items you can sync. Select your calendar and you should then have a settings option. The default is to sync the last 2 weeks of history, adjust that to your preference and then resync and you should be fine.

Can't Clear Completed Tasks from Outlook Today

Normally, on the Outlook (2003) Today screen, tasks that are marked completed are shown in grey strikeout until the next day when they fall off the screen. Only current and overdue tasks are shown. When I mark a task completed on my Blackberry, the task is marked completed on Outlook and is grayed out on the Outlook Today screen, but it still appears as completed the following day. It never falls off of the list (even though it is marked as completed). It doesn't make a difference where the task is created (Outlook or Blackberry). Any advice to solve this problem?

Adobe PDF not in Outlook 2003 toolbar

Hello--I have Adobe Acrobat 8 professional and I recently installed Microsoft Office 2003. The Adobe PDF option appears in the toolbar for Word but does not appear in the toolbar for the Outlook 2003. How do I add this option to Outlook 2003?

You can try couple of things:
1) Right-click on Outlook toolbar area and make sure that "Acrobat PDFMaker 8.0" is checked.
2) Help > About Microsoft Office Outlook > Disabled Items: If Outlook PDFMaker add-in is listed in this dialog, then select it and click on "Enable" push button and restart Outlook.
Let us know, if these steps helped you or not.
Thanks,

I cannot email attachment directly from Acrobat to Outlook 2013.

I get the message "there is no default mail client" But outlook is correctly set as default. can email from other apps, just not acrobat. I have differnt computers with different systems and each cannot email to outlook.
Using Acrobat 11 Standard to Outlook 2013 64bit under Win 8.1 Pro 64bit and Acrobat 9 to Outlook 2013 64bit under Win 7 Pro 64bit. Also, Acrobat 11 to Outlook 2013 64 bit under Win 7 Pro 64 bit. The common element is Outlook 2013, but Microsoft Tech says it is a Adobe issue since other apps work. Was using Acrobat 9 to Outlook 2003 32bit under Win XP 32bit.
Is there an issue with 32 bit Acrobat to 64bit Outlook 2013?

Yes. I discovered that. So I upgraded Acrobat to v11.0.5 on that computer. I have 2 computers in my network, both run Win 7 Pro 64bit; Acrobat 11.0.5; Outlook 2013 64bit. Each computer will not email, returned the message "there is no default mail client". (Each computer has a separate license for Acrobat, Outlook 2013)
Edited the registry in 1 computer, it worked. This computer was running Acrobat 11.0.0 at the time of the registry edit. Acrobat upgraded automatically to v11.0.5 it corrupted the registry files, Outlook would not open until it rejected the Acrobat Add-in "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin". This happened in both computers. I then edited the registry in the other computer and it worked.
Each computer boots up to "there is no default mail client" pop up. Ran repair in both Acrobat and Outlook, didn't work. No issue other than the Addins corrupts Outlook 2013. Each computer has the same issue. Home computer with Win 8 Pro 64bit, Acrobat 11.0.5, Outlook 2013 64bit, with Addins and registry edit, is working fine.
The issue seems to be 32bit Acrobat conflicts with 64bit Outlook 2013. What does the Addin do?

Can't sync to Outlook 2003 Calendar

As of today, I cannot get information from my BlackBerrycalendar into Microsoft Outlook. This is new: for the last year it was not a problem.
I have a Curve 8300 series phone (Verizon) PIN 302AC62. My operating system is Windows XPProfessional, and the application in question is Microsoft Office 2003, SmallBusiness Edition.
Yesterday, I downloaded and installed Blackberry Desktopsoftware v. 5.0. After completing the installationand connecting the device, the software told me that there was new devicesoftware available, which I let it install. As far as I can tell, the phone works fine. It was a long download late at night, but asI recall I was able to synchronize my data with Outlook.
Today, Microsoft Word was unable to load properly (this hadbeen a recurrent problem), so I did a complete uninstall and reinstall ofOffice 2003, including the deletion of all Outlook address book and calendarinformation.
I have >1400 addresses on my handheld, and >3600calendar entries in the device default calendar (but until now I have had nosynchronization problems). Afterreinstalling Office, I configured the Blackberry software to do a one-waytransfer of data from the device to Outlook. The address data synced just fine, but the calendar data recognized onlyabout 12 out of 3600 records (all records are still on the device).
After trying multiple times and going through some of thereader forums on your Web site, the only change I could come up with was thatnow when I try to synchronize, the program does not seem to recognize ANYcalendar entries on the device.
Thinking that the desktop software v. 5.0 might either bebuggy or not backward-compatible with my device, I uninstalled it and did afresh install of v. 4.7.0.37 from your Web site. The problem persists. It is a huge problem for me.
This issue is on my home computer. I will see what happens with my officecomputer tomorrow.
Thanks!

Don't worry about taking up my time. If I didn't have it, I wouldn't be here on the computer trying to help. You are talking about a contacts folder in Outlook 2003? The address book is when you click on sending a new mail and then click on the To: Am I correct? I think you should try and export your pst file and then try opening the new file in Outlook and see if that will correct things. You might need to go to the Microsoft site to get help in how to import the file. I am using Outlook 2010 and cannot remember the exact commands that would help you. I cannot remember if it is under Tools or somewhere else for you to export the file. It could be under File, then Export if 2003. After you save that file, then go to file and open, and then navigate to the new file and see if that opens a new Outlook pst file for you. You can then try and sync with the new one and see if that works. I hope that helps, but trying to remember all of the commands can be difficult. I teach Microsoft Office and having to remember all of the new ones can be difficult enough!
