Acrobat 11 doesn't create pdf. files from doc. files

I tried to create a pdf. file from a doc. file (Office 2003). Acrobat 11 instead opens a warning message with the following contents (translated from German):
A high security level has been chosen. Start the application that created the document, activate the dialogue "safety warning", choose "always trust macros from this resource, activate ... from Adobe Systems Inc. (the message aborts there).
I selected "Extras/Macro/Safety/Safety level" , there I selected "low". The above mentioned message still comes up.
What do you suggest to do in order to finally create pdf. files from doc. files?
Additional information: Creating pdf. files from xls. files (Excel), txt. files (Editor) and saving a webpage as a pdf. file all work fine.
Thanks for your input!

Although Office 2003 is old compared to Acrobat XI, according to Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications it should work, though support has passed end of life.
So my first test (if it were me) would be to see if PDFMaker works if run in the simplest way (the only way I ever use it, this right click conversion stuff isn't in my worldview). That is, does the Acrobat menu appear in Word and does it work? If it does not work, no other method based on it can work.

  • Creating PDF's from *.doc or *.docx file with fake security issue's ......

    Hi,
    We're trying the new 11 Pro and just patched it to:11.0.09 to try to fix this error below.
    When the user tries to create a PDF from the main menu that now says "Create PDF from File" instead of the old screen that said "Create PDF" ......
    If I start the process with a *.docx file I get the " can't open the file because of rights "  error and it was doing the same thing in the old original installed
    version of 11 and also now this the new one I just updated now to try to fix it. 
    I also deleted the normal.doc templates in both his old MS Word 2003 program and also in the current copy he uses MS Word 2007.
    If I start the 11 Pro and pick the same document as the first one except for the fact that it has been re-saved in a *.doc MS Word 2003 format,
    the whole thing works perfectly.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers'
    Dave

    Have you tried to open WORD and either print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the Acrobat icon (PDF Maker)? Try both. Do they work or not. PDF Maker has to work for the functionality of the create in Acrobat to work.

  • Creating pdf's from multiple files

    Hello
    I have 6 Quark artwork files. Is there a way to make pdf's from them all without opening each one and saving as a pdf individually? They would all need to have the same pdf settings.
    Thanks
    Vicky

    That's odd... Try creating a blank Action (under Tools - Action Wizards)
    and running it on those files. That should also convert them to PDF files.

  • Create pdf form from image file

    The only disadvantage of this utility is input image format is bmp only.

  • I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages

    I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages and word on Mac running Mountain lion. How do I allow the user of the form to insert JPEG files when filling out the form and how do I allow the user to add more fields or groups of fields as needed.

    The type of form yo're describing is possible if you create it in LiveCycle Designer. It may also be possible in Acrobat, but there are certain restrictions. The type of form is known as a dynamic XFA form. LiveCycle Designer is not available on the Mac, so you'd have to install the software on a Windows machine and learn how to create this type of form. The LiveCycle Designer forum here is a good resource for getting more help.
    Reader 11 now supports creating new pages using templates with a form that you create in Acrobat (Acroform). This requires some JavaScript programming. It also adds support for using a button to display a page from a PDF, which can be an image or anything else a PDF can be. So the user would click a button, be prompted to import a page from an existing PDF, and the button (or a different button) displays it as its icon. This would require the user to convert the image to PDF first, which is relatively easy these days (e.g., using Preview on the Mac, or Word on Mac/Windows). This too involves a bit of JavaScript programming, but it's very simple and straightforward.

  • I can't create PDF files from DWF files

    I'm looking for a solution for creating PDF files from DWF files. When I attempt to create a DWF file to PDF, the file has problems being created. Does anyone have a solution to this?

    We are trying to print to pdf format from a dwf (Autodesk Design Review) drawing file.  DWF is autodesk’s version of PDF.  In autocad, you can print to either dwf or pdf.  However, some of the fonts within autocad are not recognized by adobe so the fonts often don’t print properly.  Thus, we print to dwf first, then print again to pdf.
    We operate 2 basically identical computers; the one computer is able to print from dwf to pdf and the other is not.   When I say not able, only part of the drawing actually prints; like it is not able to process the data.  The computer that cannot print from dwf to pdf, can actually print directly to pdf from Autocad.    It just cannot print from dwf to pdf.
    Both computers are running Windows 7, Autocad Architecture 2015, and Adobe acrobat X. 
    Let me know if this is enough information.

    does it happen with local indesign files, or just those on that (particular) network?

  • Acrobat X & Outlook: Create PDF's that show time SENT

    Hi
    I am creating PDF's from emails in Outlook using Acrobat X. When I create PDFs the PDFs show the time the email was received. I need the PDFs to show the time the email was sent (i.e. the same way it is displayed in Outlook). How do I do this?
    Can existing PDFs be amended so the date changes from showing the time received to the time sent?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks Bill
    Oddly I have worked out a solution:
    When I use File-> print and use Adobe printer, the Outlook format is preserved.
    When I use the Adobe add-on to convert an email to PDF, that is when the problem arises. There seems to be no visible setting to alter this. I would prefer to convert because of the preservation of meta-data; any ideas?

  • Login problems with create pdf,share and my files

    Hello ,
    When I currently go to www.acrobat.com on my windows xp
    computer and try to go to one of the create pdf,share and my files
    and click on begin I get a message saying sorry this service is
    temporary unavailable but when I click on learn more it says all
    service are up and runing. Does anyone know what is wrong and if
    the service is down when will it be fixed.?

    Hi Sue!
    This seems like a separate issue you're running into. It is
    good that you can get logged in, but odd that you're only seeing
    partial functionality in your user.
    How many files are missing? Is this affecting certain file
    types?
    Did you ever see files in your My Files section?
    How long have they been unavailable/missing?
    When uploaded, did they complete making it through the
    scanning process?
    Can you see files in your Buzzword organizer? (which is a
    different section than your My files organizer)
    Create new documents?
    It would be good to get another browser as a comparison test
    here as well, to see if there is any different behavior!
    It could be firewall related, but what you could do is maybe
    try logging into your account from another person's computer for a
    moment, to see if the files are visible there?
    Otherwise, the test from home, or laptop at a coffee shop,
    would be another good test!
    Get back to us with some of these questions answered, and
    we'll see about getting you up and running!
    Cheers,
    Pete

  • Creating PDF's from Dot Matrix ESC/P formatted documents

    Hello,
    I'm new to Acrobat World, and Need to create pdf's from my DOS application to print them later. The reports that I want to convert contains Epson Esc/p commands for printing. My idea is to get a PDF file that converts bold, condensed and other Esc/p commands correctly, and print it later on another location. To try, I installed the trial version of Acrobat Pro.
    I had no trouble redirecting the output from my DOS application to the Adobe printer (I shared the printer and use the NET USE command to redirect lpt1 to this shared printer) and I monitored the printer queue. Jobs reach the printer queue but a windows error shows telling the document cannot be printed. The job remains on the printer queue with a ERROR-PRINTING status. I tried both printer drivers (Adobe Pdf and Adobe PdfWriter). The last time I got a moving Adobe Icon in the task bar telling: READY XXXXX.PDF. I've searched all computer for that file and it is not anywere.
    My environment is the following: Windows XP Pro SP2 and FoxPro for DOS 2.6, Acrobat 8 Pro trial Version (I need to know if this will work before I order Acrobat), Intel Pentium 4 at 2.8Ghz, 512MB RAM.
    Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

    Thanks for your interest Bill.
    I did just what you suggested. The file gets created, and when I open it in Distiller, the errors showed (log file) are the following:

    Jojojo was the name of the file created by AdobePDF printer. The word AFIANZADORA happens to be the first text word in my document. It seems it does nothing from the beginning. Can you tell me what's happening with this information ?
    And yes, I can print from any other windows application and a .pdf file is always created.

  • Suppressing headers and footers in PDFs made from HTML files

    When I convert a HTML file to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard, the PDF contains a footer (file path) and header (file name).  I don't want these to appear in my PDF.  I have disabled headers and footers in MSIE 8, but that has no effect.  I can't deleted these objects from within Acrobat, unless I edit each page with the text touch up tool.  Is there a way to suppress the header/footer?  The subject HTML files came from another system.  Thanks.

    Thanks, Bernd, but where are these settings?  While I'm writing, is there a setting to make an html file fit on one page in Acrobat?

The instructions seem so simple. I can't imagine what I am doing wrong. Have project I need to submit today. Please help.

    Unfortunately, what you describe isn't a common problem. It is pretty surprising, but hopefully it's a simple as clicking or pressing the wrong thing. So, to find this out we need to know, step by step, at the most basic level, what you click or type EXACTLY and what you see. That should let us get to the cause.

  • How to create Inbound Idoc from XML file-Need help urgently

    Hi,
    can any one tell how to create inbound Idoc from XML file.
    we have xml file in application server Ex. /usr/INT/SMS/PAYTEXT.xml'  we want to generate inbound idoc from this file.we are successfully able to generate outbound XML file from outbound Idoc by using the XML port. But not able to generate idoc from XML file by using we19 or we16.
    Please let me know the process to trigger inbound Idoc with out using  XI and any other components.
    Thanks in advance
    Dora Reddy

    Hi .. Did either of you get a result on this?
    My question is the same really .. I am testing with WE19 and it seems SAP cannot accept an XML inbound file as standard.
    I see lots of mention of using a Function Module.
    Am I correct in saying therefore that ABAP development is required to create a program to run the FM and process the idoc?
    Or is there something tht can be done with Standard SAP?
    Thanks
