Unable to combine files on acrobat 8 getting error message "no PDF file was created beacuse Acrobat encountered an unidentified error"

unable to combine files on acrobat 8 getting error message "no PDF file was created beacuse Acrobat encountered an unidentified error" Please help

A lot of the time the files can not be combined because of incompatible fonts, or at least font sets that could not be resolved. Maybe that will give you some direction to look at.

  • I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?

    I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?

    I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question.  I followed the instructions in this article:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
    In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one.   I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable.  So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal.  Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal).  I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.)  And it fixed the problem right away.
    What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do.  It didn't mention Terminal.  What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

    Log in to your computer using an administrator account.
    In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type: "/Users" (without quotes) and click Go.
    If the Shared folder exists
    Open Terminal (found in /Applications/Utilities).Warning: This step involves modifying permission settings by entering commands in the Terminal application. Users unfamiliar with Terminal and UNIX-like environments should proceed with caution. The entry of incorrect commands may result in data loss or unusable system software. Improper alteration of permissions can result in reduced system security or exposure of private data. This option requires a non-blank admin password.
    Depending on which version of Mac OS X you have, this step will vary:
    On Mac OS X v10.5.8 and earlier, type:sudo chmod -R 777 /Users/Shared
    On Mac OS X v10.6 or later, type:sudo chmod -R 1777 /Users/Shared
    Press Return.
    Quit Terminal.

  • I keep getting the message "the photo library was created with an unreleased version of iphoto.  I have reinstalled but still get the message. What do I need to do?

    I have had my iBook for years with iPhoto on and then suddenly today I get the message "The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto.  Please quit and upgrade this photo library by opening it in iPhoto 2 or iPhoto 4.  I reinstalled iPhoto but nothing has changed.  What do I need to do to get it working again?  Help!!

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • I have successfully installed itunes10, then get an error message that reads, itunes was not installed correctly. please reinstall itunes, error 7 Windows error 127

    I have successfully installed itunes 10, then get an error message that reads, itunes was not installed correctly Error 7 (Windows error 127)

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I have tried to update my itunes program. It was running great until I attempted the update now all I get is an error message that says "Itunes was not installed properly, Please reinstall itunes, Error 7 (Windows erroe 126)". What can I do to get my it

    I tried updating my itune program. Now all I get is the following message "Itunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126). WHAT can I do to get back to where my itunes program is running again?
    I have uninstalled the proram and tried reinstalling and get the same error message. The other error message I get is "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".  I have tried that twice with no luck. Can someone help me get my music back???

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Error message for PDF files "accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser"?

    Whenever I try to view a PDF file, I'm getting the error message "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser." I have the new Adobe Reader but am still getting this message.

    Even after launching Reader and accepting the EULA? Most strange.

    Travel and detours have kept me from following up sooner. If the problem that you wrote about still persists.....
    Let us go back over that Adobe document regarding troubleshooting damaged projects.
    3. Delete the Application Preferences
    Where you able to follow that path and delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file at the end of the path? And, after you did, did the saved/closed programs still refuse to open? If you could not carry out this procedure, what were the limiting factors that kept you from do
    7. Test to see if individual media files are causing the problem.
    That is an important one. How far did you get into following the instructions given in the document? If you could not complete the test, what was the major block that prevented you from doing so?
    I want to make sure that we have gone through everything in that document and ruled all factors there in or out. If it was a matter of you not understanding the instructions, I am hoping that the above will channel you questions to me so that I can clarify anything that you did not understand in the Adobe document instructions.
    I do not recall if I asked previously. Even if you cannot open all your saved/closed projects, can you still open a new project and save/close it? Maybe even reopen it?
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • I keep getting the error message "Missing PDFMaker files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode"

    I keep getting the error message "Missing PDFMaker files  Do you want to run the installer in repair mode"when I try to convert a file into a pdf.  I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling but I continue to get the message.  I am able directly print file, but there are some errors in the pages, but some of them have font errors. Please advise.

    Hey Suzanne,
    Could you please let me know what Acrobat version are you using and what kind of file are you trying to convert to PDF.
    If you are using an MS Office application, then PDF Maker has to be an active plug-in for the PDF conversion.
    Have you tried using Print to PDF option from the File menu for the same?
    Please check and then let me know.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • No PDF file was created because Acrobat encountered an unidentified error.

    Product:
    Adobe Acrobat 8
    Windows XP SP3
    Problem:
    when user try to combine multiple PDF files into one file from network drives (hence that user have full permissions), received this error:
    "Error (file skipped)
    No PDF file was created because Acrobat encountered an unidentified error."
    Steps taken so far:
    - cleared windows temp files
    - cleared acrobat temp files
    - tried, same error
    - ran acrobat repair, tried it out, same error
    - made adjustments to "PDF Printer Properties per this article 
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Document_Imaging/Adobe_Acrobat/Q_23903725. html
    - tried again, no luck.
    - removed adobe acrobat and reinstalled it completely from scratch.
    - ran updates
    - tried again, no luck.
    - granted the user full permission access to acrobat folder under program files, still same error
    - then, copied files that I need to convert locally to the system and tried to combine them, it worked!
    - its not permission issue as I tried the same from my domain admin account and received the error.
    - also the user reported that acrobat takes 15 o 20 sec each time opening a file
    Any ideas?!
    Thanks!

    If I change the properties to open as administrator, within the program I can combine pdfs over the network drive.
    .  I can't drag and drop or combine pdfs from windows explorer and everytime I open acrobat it asks if it can make changes.
    So it's still best to copy to c drive in order to use Combine and Portfolio features but would be really nice to use as designed.
