Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8, for the simple reason it was
created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
current version for compatibility.

Using Adobe Pro X I cannot create a PDF from a web page.

After a recent upgrade from a previous version of Firefox, I am now unable to create a PDF from a web page using the Adobe Pro toolbar on the web page. A "save as" box appears and then the conversion process dies. I can print the page using Adobe Pro as my printer and it works fine. I can create other docs with Adobe Pro. How do I fix this on my browser?
Thanks.

Why can I not print a PDF from an email?

Why can I not print a PDF from an email any longer?

Can you explain in better detail?
Is it when you open the file attachment and attempt to Print?
Is it right-mouse clicking and attempting to Print?
Is it when you print the email itself and expect the attachment to Print?

Acrobat crashes when creating a PDF from a web page

Whenever I ask Acrobat to create a PDF from a web page, it crashes halfway through the process. Here is an example from the BBC:-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19585341
Printing to PDF from the browser does not produce an accurate document. The font is too big, and most of the pictures do not appear.
I use Acrobat X Pro version 10.1.4.
This is a PC problem. On the Mac it works.

The problem I mentioned is peculiar to Acrobat 10 and also to my PC. On a Mac I can create PDF's from webpages normally.
I also notice that when printing to PDF from Opera only the first page comes out. (Using Firefox all pages are printed to PDF.)

Acrobat Pro XI: Creating a PDF from a Web Page

When I try to create a PDF from a Web page using Acrobat XI, I get the Error Code "Nothing done" and "Authorization Failure", but it doesn't happen on all webistes. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it? I'm using the trial version of Acrobat Pro XI on a Mac. Same result with either Firefox or Safari.
Thanks.

It's likely a HTTPS site or you have an authenticating proxy server where you are required to enter a password to acess the web page.

Create a PDF from a Web Page

I was on Acrobat pro 6. Now I am trying out Acrobat X pro ("v10").
1. I create a pdf file from a web page. When I click on a link in the new pdf file, it automatically opens that link in a web browser. Previously, in v 6.x, it defaults to "Append to the Document". How can I set Acrobat X Pro to default to "Append to Document" ?
2. I find the pdf file created from a web page has no page numbers. Again, in v6.x, there was page numbers in those files. How can I get page numbers included in the header/footer? Is the header/footer configurable?
3. In v6.x, when I want to convert a web page (into pdf) that is behind a password -- because it includes links, whereas printing to pdf does not -- I would first get the login page (in pdf). Then I can type in my password in the pdf file and click on go (right click and select Append) and I would get the next page in pdf. Now, v10 no longer does that. I keep getting different errors depending on the web site. e.g. I was testing on this web site, and get "SyntaxError: invalid XML tag syntax". Am I missing something or is there a "new" way to get the same result in v10?
TIA

Hi paulp14382584,
It seems that you have removed the Create PDF from webpage tool from the toolbar by mistake. Please don't worry I will help you to get this issue fixed.
1) Open the Acrobat on your computer.
2) Right click on the toolbar & select Edit Current Tool Set form the list.
3) Edit tool set window will pop up on your screen.
4) Please Click on the 'Create' option from the list on the left hand side & then select ' PDF from Web-page' from the drop down list.
5) Then click on the small button ( + & arrow sign towards up ) to add it to the tool bar.
6) Hit Save to confirm the changes.
This will add the Create PDF from web-page tool on the tool bar.
Let me know if you experience any issue.
Regards,
Aadesh

Why can't I create a PDF from a Word file with your $9.99 monthly plan. I have done so before.

Firefox is a good browser, but it comes with its own PDF viewer, which may not display PDF files correctly. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136
If you want to continue to use Internet Explorer, you may want to lower its security settings; see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Change-Internet-Explorer-Security-settings

Can't create a PDF from a Web page using acrobat 8.0

I am using Acrobat 8.0, + Mac 10.5. When, in Acrobat, the dialog box comes up (File>Create PDF from Web) I first enter the URL, then try to click on "Settings" but nothing happens. Then I get an error message. Is this a known problem?

If the url is for a secured web site Acrobat can not always get the data as it is not logged into the web site. Some web features can not be converted to the PDF format. Is the web address correct? I would use cut and paste since some web addresses can be quite hard to type in.

Why can't I open a pdf from a web-site

Windows 7 Home is my operating system. Internet Explorer 10 is my browser. I cannot open a pdf file off my VISA account web-site. I have downloaded and agreed to the latest Adobe Reader XI (I also have Adobe X, should I uninstall it?) When I try to open the pdf file which is my monthly VISA statement, I get this message: "To help protect your security, your web browser has blocked this website from displaying non-secure content." I have also turned off the pop-up blocker. Nothing works. Can anyone help. I am a novice on computer technology, so I don't know much about the way the computer works (my husband is the expert in this household, but he's recovering from heart surgery and is not yet able to think through these situations). I thought I already posted this problem, but I can't find my post.

Why can't I download a PDF from a web site with Safari?

I clicked on an image whcih is suppoed to open a PDF. Nothing happens.

Hey Carolyn,
I do have this app on my iphone and it works great. My issue in when I try to download a PDF from a page in Safari. Chrome does it without any problems. I'm just trying to use Safari more as it is apparently "faster" and "uses less power". Thisis based on the latest information I viewed from the WWDC.

Acrobat crashes whenever attempting to create a PDF from a web page

Windows 7 SP1
Acrobat X 10.1.9
This problem only occurs in Windows. The Mac version works perfectly. The crash occurs immediately on executing the command, without any wait while the Web page is processed.

...but unfortunately it has resurfaced, despite using Repair to mend Acrobat. I am out of ideas, except to create PDF's from Web pages using my Mac.
It worked for two pages, but crashed on the third.

When attempting to "print" to Adobe or create a pdf from a web page, the "pring/pdf" result has a bunch of unrecognizable characters on the page rather than letters/numbers

here is an example
!@#$$$%#@!@$%^^%

You could open it in the XPS application and check print preview to see if it comes out as TSN suggests (and likely will). You can go to the printer properties and adjust the page size accordingly.
You can also use the cropping in Acrobat to size all the pages and then use the Protect>Remove Hidden option to remove the cropped area.

Why can Firefox not show ALT Tex on its web pages

I cannot get Firefox to show ALT Tex when the mouse passes over links ect. I do not have this problem with Internet Explorer. Please help me on this matter, as a web designer I would like this feture to work in Firefox.

ALT text is meant to be displayed when the image isn't displayed. The TITLE tag is for displaying information about the image. You should use both attributes for every image.

How do I open a pdf on a web page in Safari without Acrobat Reader?

At the moment I have removed Acrobat Reader 10.3.1 because it conflicts with Safari. Preview is a perfectly fine pdf reader (and with lots of very nice features) but I don't see how I can make Preview open a pdf from a web page until it has been downloaded to file. And I have found at least one site that will not download to file before opening.

Right-click in the PDF when it's displayed in Safari and select Open with Preview from the popup menu. Depending on how the PDF is embedded in the web page, this may not be possible.
