Problem with Adobe PDF Converter

I'm sorry to say I struggle with the technicalities a bit but would be really grateful for any help!
I have a laptop with Windows 7 64 bit, Office 2010, Acrobat Standard X, and PSE9.
I found in PSE9 whilst I could print pictures out on my HP All-in-One okay I could not print as a pdf. I thought the problem was with PSE9 but then I tried to print an Office 2010 document (Word) and noticed that whilst it did actually print fine, when I went back to print again there was a statement under Adobe PDF "Error: 1 document waiting". I printed another document as a pdf and the message changed to "Error: 2 documents waiting" (even though, again, it printed okay). So although with Office 2010 the PDF Converter seems to work it also builds up a list of errors.
I don't like not understanding what is going on! I tried to use Windows 7 to "troubleshoot" the problem but that was a silly waste of time ... it merely cleared the list of errors so I started all over again.
Can anyone help/advise?

Thanks, Lindsay.
I have the same problem & your update on the PORT being the problem was crucial. I sorted it out. The solution (for other folks who see this thread) is as follows:
1. Go to Printer Properties
2. Go to the Port Tab
3. Add a New Local Port
4. Name It Anything (e.g. "PDFPort" without a colon)
Done! : ) Hope this helps!

Problems with Adobe pdf files as attachments in Mail

I have 4 Adobe pdf files that I can open and view without a problem.
The minute I try to attach them to an email to send to someone else, they show in the email as blank pages with the message that in order to be viewed, a more recent version of Adobe needs to be downloaded. It doesn't make sense - if my Adobe is up to date enough to open them normally, why can't Mail open them as attachments?
Flummoxed!

I have sent you an email reply with the following text:
I would not say things are exactly OK, but here is what I found out:
The two documents were produced by the program described at the link below:
http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/designer/
The forms, which would open in Adobe Reader 9, are filled out -- typically forms that you file out on such agency sites are only printable, and cannot be Saved in a filled out form -- yours are filled out with data -- data that could be sensitive. I will delete them very quickly, as soon as we have concluded any discussions.
Neither file could be opened with Adobe Photoshop CS3, except to show the same error message, which is pretty unusual, nor could they be opened with Graphic Converter any differently, which is equally unusual.
The file header, when observed in Raw Source, says the application that produced it is unknown -- a good reason Mail nor Preview could open. I am pasting in one of the file headers from Raw Source view:
--------------090301040801050804080205
Content-Type: application/x-unknown;
name="09.02.06 FKR IT34 Assessment 2008.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline;
filename="09.02.06 FKR IT34 Assessment 2008.pdf"
All-in-all I would say these are very unusual files.

Memory Problems with Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit

In preparation to rebuild my Windows Search Index, I installed the Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit on my system (Vista Business 64). When I finally rebuilt the index, I wasn't too surprised by what I saw happen, namely, the SearchFilter.exe process would kick in whenever I wasn't using the system and just eat RAM. One time I turned it on and it had allocated over 4,000 MB (and my system only has 4,030 MB available) so of course it was forcing all the other processes to hard fault (ie. everything was moving like molasses--for example, it took 20 minutes to put the thing to sleep). But I just let it do it's work, figuring that perhaps this was to be expected relative to the small library of PDF's that I've accumulated on my computer, ranging from LaTeX generated text files, to containers for hi-res scans. So, after a day and a half of basically not using my laptop, everything finally calmed down and I enjoyed the benefits of searching the content of my library from the Windows Start menu--for a short while.
However, to my dismay I've encountered the problem that this freezing of my computer would now occur after everytime I download a new PDF (in this particular case they were Google Books scans) and then left the computer to idle. Again, the SearchFilter.exe would allocate all of my RAM for itself and just push everything else onto the Virtual RAM, which means the SLOWEST possibly fetching you can get. I had to uninstall as this was making my computer unusable for 15-30 minutes after each idle. Everything is back in working order without the iFilter, but I would like to know if anyone has reported such problems on x64 systems. Obviously, I will also report the problem to Microsoft, since the search engine should certainly have the precaution to handle such memory problems.   However, it is a problem that is created by the Adobe PDF iFilter interacting with the Windows Search engine.

Hello,
We believe we have figured this out. It looks like it has to do with the length of the default folder location for the Adobe iFilter.
I was able to reproduce the issue and the following resolved it for me. See if this resolves it for you all as well.
Here is how to get Adobe Version 11 PDF filter to work.
1 . If you haven’t already, run the following in SQL Server:
Sp_fulltext_service ‘Load_os_resources’, 1
Go
--you might also need to run:
sp_fulltext_service ‘Verify_signature’,0 --This is used to validate trusted iFilters. 0 disables it. So use with caution.
--go
2. Stop SQL Server. (Make sure FDHost.exe stops)
3.
Uninstall the Adobe ifilter (because it defaulted to having spaces or the folder name is too long).
4.
Reinstall the Adobe iFilter and when it prompts for where to install it, change it to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter
5.  Once the installation finishes, go the computer’s Environment variables. Add the following to the PATH.
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter\BIN
NOTE: it must include the BIN folder
NOTE: If you had the OLD location that included spaces, remove it from the path environment variable.
6. Start SQL Server
7.  IF you had an existing Full-text index on PDFs, drop the full-text index and recreate it.
8. You should now get results when you run sys.dm_fts_index_keywords('db','tblname') --Note: Change db to be the actual database name and tblname to be the actual table name.
Give this a try and see if this fixes yours.
Sincerely,
Rob Beene, MSFT

Preview problems with Adobe pdfs

Hi all
I hope this is in the right place ... I've checked through the forums, but couldn't find a problem like this anywhere.
I have just upgraded from a PowerMac G4 dual to a PowerMac G5 dual-core, both running the latest version of Tiger and have managed to migrate across most things. However, there is one problem I'm having which is a bit frustrating.
I use the Adobe CS2 for most of my work, but since changing machines, the Export/Save As PDF features aren't working properly. If I Export any document to pdf from InDesign, it will then not open in Preview, giving a particularly vague error: "File Error. Couldn't open the file." If I then open it up in Reader or Acrobat Pro it works, but when closing it afterwards, it asks me to Save the file (though to my knowledge I haven't made any changes). The file will then open in Preview.
A similar thing happens in Illustrator, but with a twist ... a file Saved as pdf will open straight away in Preview, but once closed won't then open again, until I go through the same process with Acrobat. Having the tested the files on other Macs, the problem is with the files, as they don't open on any machine, nor on a PC (before realising the problem, I sent a pdf to a client).
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance <d>

Hi Vipir
Thanks for the quick reply!
When making the pdfs, I didn't use any of the standards (to maximise compatibility), but I tried every available version of Acrobat (from 4 to 7) and all produced the same result. When I started, I had them Optimised, but after reading a few things online, I tried without Optimising, and then without Tagging them, but still without success.
The end result seems to be a pdf which will only open on Reader or Acrobat Pro, after being fixed by them in some way. If not opened in either of them, then they don't seem to be able to be opened by anyone (regardless of platform or program).
Maybe I've been lucky in the past, but I've never experienced any problems with pdfs before, and I just got used to pdfs being fairly 'bullet-proof!'
Thanks for your help <d>

Nokia N95 - problems with Adobe PDF

Acrobat PDF was working right until recently and now it doesn't open. I've tried to reinstall it by using the N80 version (since both phones are S60 3rd) but it won't let me install since it says that the app is already installed.
I've updated to the latest firmware (12.0.013) and after restoring the memory backup from the memory card, Adobe PDF still doesn't work. I don't know if it would have worked without the backup restoration, but I'm not willing to try since I don't want to lose all my information in order to get PDFs back to work.
Is there any way to "reset" the application, so that it starts working again?

I have a same problem with my E65 and Adobe Reader. Have you solved your problem? If yes, please write about it.
Thanks Rp

Problems with Adobe PDF forms in Web Dynpro Java

As of now , I have two major issues in developing Adobe PDF forms in Web Dynpro Java .
1.Text getting wrapped and repeated from the first line :
Any text field that flows to the next page gets wrapped at the end of the page and is again printed on the next page beginning from the first line .
For eg:
If I have 4 lines in a text field that is at the end of the page
1111111111111111111111
2222222222222222222222
3333333333333333333333
4444444444444444444444
and the page holds space for only two lines it prints the lines
1111111111111111111111
2222222222222222222222
in the first page and then proceeds to the next page and prints
1111111111111111111111
2222222222222222222222
rather than printing
3333333333333333333333
4444444444444444444444
2.No way to hide a page at runtime:
It is not possible to hide a page in a PDF form at runtime . If scripting is used , the page turns into a blank page but not hidden .
Any pointers on this????????
Helpful answers will be suitably rewarded with points!!!!

Yes,I am using the versions that you mentioned.
I have a node called MasterData which is the root node for my PDF Form.I have a node called GenData inside this node whose ctx_Appraisal_Type_Num attribute is bound to a hidden TextField in my form.In the docReady event of this TextField, I am writing the following FormCalc script to hide my SubForm whose Id is MngrCmptnc
if(MasterData.GenData.ctx_Appraisal_Type_Num == "2")
then
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.presence = "visible"
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.MngrCmptnc.presence = "visible"
MasterData.StrImp.presence = "visible"
else
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.presence = "hidden"
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.MngrCmptnc.presence = "hidden"
MasterData.StrImp.presence = "hidden"
endif

Arabic numbers problem with Adobe PDF

i'm using crystal reports to display a report for an asp.net web application. I have some numbers displayed in this report. These numbers are displayed in this report in arabic format and this is ok. When i try to export report data to Adobe PDF I have the arabic numbers displayed in english format!!
Can anyone help me to solve this issue?
Thanks and Best Regards

Is it 32 or 64-bit. If it is 64-bit, the print driver for AA7 does not work on that system. You can install AA7 except for the printer for a 64-bit system. In that case, you will have to install another PS printer (like the HP 4500 PS) with the port as File:. I also suggest you change the name to be the Adobe PDF printer that you are substituting for. You then print to file and open the file in Distiller to complete the PDF creation (watched folders are also possible from Distiller to automate the process somewhat). You have to provide a folder as well as the file name when you print, such as "C:\adobeapps\test.ps." Then run test.ps through Distiller. You will have to follow the extra steps to create PDFs with AA7.

Problems with Adobe PDF in Browser?

When I attempt to open a PDF file on the web (Safari Mac user), I get a black screen and an error that says my file has been moved or deleted. I attempt to download the latest Adobe PDF Reader however get a notification that I cannot download from the internet I have to download from the app store. There isn't an adobe pdf reader in the app store. I don't know what to do! Someone, please help!!

Can you post a screenshot of that Print panel: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
It is possible that some system fonts (e.g. Segoe) are missing or corrupted.
Regarding IE freezing: try to disable Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Problem with adobe pdf viewer plug-in for safari

I recently updated from adobe reader 8 to adobe reader 9 and now pdf documents that I view on Safari won't open. I get this message that says 'adobepdfviewer does not recognize a compatible adobe acrobat or adobe reader program' This is really strange because I have both Adobe reader 9 and Adobe acrobat installed. If you have any advice or solutions it would be much appreciated.

Personally, I like to open PDFs that I have saved to my hard drive in Adobe Reader, because I find it quicker, especially with PDF files that have many pages. I also find the resizing controls and search functions more useful in Adobe Reader. At the same time, for quick looks when clicking on web links, I don't mind letting Safari open some PDF files. So having both capabilities is important to me.
one000mph, your problem might be in the Adobe Reader / Acrobat preferences settings. It's perfectly possible to have these programs installed and still view PDFs in Safari, so there really isn't a need to delete either or both of the programs.
If you still have one or the other of those installed, check its preferences "Internet" setting where it says, "Display PDF in browser using ..." I have that set to "Adobe Reader 8.1.2" and its working nicely. If you don't have Adobe Reader installed any longer you might have different options there than I have. Try the different settings there and see if changing them solves the problem.

Problems with adobe pdf

when i download a pdf - andattemptto read it by clicking - i get an error message and have to open the file from finder in order to read it

I had a client with this same issue. It occurred immediately after installing Adobe CS5. Try the following steps -
From the Finder, go to the Go menu and select Go to Folder.
In the resulting dialog type /Library/Internet Plug-Ins and click the Go button.
Look for a file called AdobePDFViewer.plugin.
Move that file to the Desktop.
Restart Safari and test opening a .pdf file from the web. It should work now.
If it works, put that file in the Trash, you don't need it anymore.
Best of luck.

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

I get this message when I try to open .pdf files in Mozilla: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1014:1014)

What can I do to get this to work?

We were getting the same error on a Win 7 machine which had Acrobat 7 (running in compatability mode) and Reader X installed. When the user was trying to open the link from an email the error 'There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat.....(0:521) would appear and the pdf would not load.
Investigating the problem I can across an article to uncheck the option "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet). Undertaking this procedure in Acrobat Reader X however, I could not uncheck this and the path the app was showing was for Acrobat 7!?!
Therefore, opened Acrobat 7 and undertook the same procedure. Unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet) which I was able to do, saved and closed the application.
Rechecked Acrobat X and the "Display PDF in browser" could be deselected and the path was now for ..\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
Retried the original email with the link to the pdf and it now opens without error.
Not too sure if this will help but just thought I would share.
