Acrobat 7.0 Distiller error

I have the complete Adobe Creative Suite Premium package, and I recently have started having issues converting Documents or Spreadsheets to PDF. When I click on "Convert to Adobe PDF", after the PDF window opens, I get a Distiller error message, followed by a pop-up with the option to send an error message to Microsoft, or not to.
The Error Message reads:
Acrobat Distiller
Event Type: InPageError P1: c000009c P2: 00000003
When I clcik on the 'details' tab, it points to the following 2 files:
\\WER047e.dir00\acrodist.exe.mdmp
\\WER047e.dir00\appcompat.txt
I have completely removed Creative Suite and reinstalled it,to no avail. I have also tried to remove and reinstall only Acrobat 7.0, with no luck. I have installed Acrobat 7.0 on another PC to see if it would work, and it did.
I am at a loss as to whether this is an error in Acrobat, Distiller or on my PC, and I do not know what steps to take to repair it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Do you happen to be using VISTA?

How am I meant to correct my Framemaker files to solve this Acrobat Distiller error?

When I attempt to generate a PDF from Framemaker 9 using Distiller 8.1 I get the following error:
%%[ Error: ioerror; OffendingCommand: imageDistiller; ErrorInfo: DCTDecodeFilter Second SOI or SOFn JPEG marker is disallowed ]%%
Stack:
-dict-
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%"
No PDF is created. I've tried 'save as' and 'print'. I have created a PDF from this document several times before with no issues. I haven't replaced any of the screenshots in this version. Where can I find the graphic that is causing the problem? How can I solve this?
Thanks,
Niall.

1. To turn "off" the graphics, simply use the esc v v shortcut (this is a toggle on/off) at the book level (no need to remove anything).
2. Render in Error's context means, then run it again with no graphics visible (but it's obvious from the Distiller error messages that the problem is in a JPEG that can't be properly interpreted).
3. To isolate the page containing the errant graphic, a binary search apporach means do one half at a time, i.e. the first half of the book abd then the second half, to see where the error occurs. Then split the offending half section into two-halves again and re-create the PDF until you've narrowed down to the page with the error-prone file.
However, you indicate that you're able to create the PDFs properly when printing wthout Generate Acrobat Data enabled. What is you default printer instance and which joboptions are specified?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Reinstallation Errors

My hard drive crashed on my computer (replaced with new one) and I had to reinstall my Adobe CS5 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. All of CS5 reinstalled fine. However, everytime I reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, it errors every time. It will install, but whenever you open the program, it immediately stops working and errors out saying Adobe Acrobat 9.3 stopped working. Windows cannot find a solution and then closes.
It never gives me the chance to enter my product key or register the product. I went to the Adobe Product page and tried downloading and installing all the updates, but nothing works. No matter what I do it closes right away. Any ideas?
My PC is on Windows 7 - I had to initially install Acrobat on this PC when I got it a year or so ago and it worked fine. Not sure what's changed.
Thanks.

I just tried reinstalling it - again, it wasnt giving me the option to register it or anything. Would close the minute I opened Acrobat.
So I opened the Acrobat Distiller that installed with Acrobat and that asked me to accept the agreement and register the product. Once I did that - Acrobat started working again!

I wildly guess about why, and have simply Ctrl-P again to print to Adobe PDF, and maybe half the time it works, without any changing, for example, the Photoshop image that I want converted to PDF. Sometimes, superstitiously, I reduce the res/file size and it goes through, but not always. The diagnostic tells me next to nothing, although I was a programmer for 20 years. There seems to be an Acrobat component named "Distiller," and "readstring" is failing for some reason that only one of the product programmers, or someone with similar knowledge, can understand, and the programmer does not tell me the user what to do about it.
What is the cause of the "ioerror"
The product I am using is Acrobat 6.

I do not know anything about Distiller, which I presume is a component of Acrobat 6 Professional. I would know nothing about "opening a file in Distiller." The ioerror occurs when I try to print, via ordinary means, a JPG file while in Photoshop to the printer listed as "Adobe PDF." Usually this works perfectly. When it does fail with the error log inserted into my original post, I just ctrl P again, and about half the time this works. When it does not, I make the totally uninformed guess that the JPG file may be too big, so I resize it smaller. Sometimes it then gets converted to PDF correctly, but sometimes it fails with the same "readstring" error message log. The success and failures appear haphazard, but as a former professional programmer I know that there are deterministic reasons, even if nobody ever discovers them. Debugging programs is very hard work.
Perhaps someone can suggest a means of forwarding the error message to someone in Adobe programming, who already knows what the error message should mean to me, the user.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Stand. Errors

Hi, I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem with Adobe 8 Standard in my company.
I have a user who is running Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and the are trying to merge 3 documents together. I go into 8 Standard, "Merge Files" and then select the files. Once I do this and click "convert/next" it goes to the screen where it is about to convert, it starts to go, and then just as its opening up the document it says "Error (skipped)" then I get a pop up msg that says Unable to open document: filepath, Please chekc ot see if you have the read permission for the above files. It does this for all the files, then i get another msg that says "No PDF was created because Acrobat encountered an unidentified error."
I then notice that Word is still running in the background with 3x WINWORD.EXE processes but there are no Word windows open. It's opening up the files during the conversion process but it's not successfully getting there. Thing is, when I restarted and logged in under my own profile (not the problem user's profile) it worked just fine.
The user cannot combine files or create PDF's going through the Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard program. I open up word and then open the file and use the AdobePDF menu and I can convert 1 of the files but then when I try to convert the other two, Word gets an error and that it encountered a problem and needs to shut down and I looked at the info on the error report and it did say WINWORD.EXE.
I am wondering, is there a solution for this? I cannot seem to find it, either that or I'm blind. I'm going to re-installing it tomorrow morning when I get in and I think I am going to repair Office while I'm at it, as I didn't have time to do it today. Let me know if there is anything else I can try.
Thanks.

Anyone have any ideas?

Acrobat has encountered an error while playing this media clip

Hi,
I have downloaded a pdf file from the web which has embedded audio in it.
When I try to play the audio, the following message comes up “Acrobat has encountered an error while playing this media clip. Adobe’s Windows build-in player cannot play this format as the required decoder is not installed on the system.”.
I can attach the file, if the problem can be resolved. If you need more information, kindly advise?
Can you kindly assist?

That means it's a PDF containing "legacy media", which requires external software to play it. Unfortunately the audio itself could use any type of encoding, and the error tells you that whatever it is, your default media player (WMP) doesn't understand it. Rather annoyingly, when running in embedded mode WMP doesn't tell you what codec it's having problem with. It's one reason why this feature has been removed from the latest version of Acrobat.
This forum doesn't allow generic file attachments, but if the PDF came from a public website please post the URL and someone will take a look at the structure. Sharing of copyrighted material via file upload services is not permitted.

"Data Execution Prevention has closed Adobe Acrobat"
I am using Acrobat 10.0.0 for testing in Windows Server 2008 operating system. Also, debugging the program shows no error but plugin does not produce the desired result when tested on Windows Server 2008 Standard 32 bits operating system.
Can anyone please giude me how to resolve this issue??
Thanks in advance!

Acrobat 9.2 professional errors

I have windows 7 home premium 64 bit version.
downloaded 9.2 acrobat professional and receiving errors when trying to scan from my HP scanner 5590.
Cannot communicate errors.
I tried the windows driver and the hp driver, both same error.
The scanner works with free pdf software.
Any ideas what is causing this problem?
Is there a list of combatible scanners for adobe pro version 9 ?
thanks,
dave

Bill,
I used the windows version when I connected the scanner.
Then I installed the HP 64 bit drivers then i installed the full HP program with drivers.
I tested after each install and reboot, same errors.
thanks,
dave

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.

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.
