Acrobat 7.0 Standard Random Hangs on scan-to-pdf

Scan to pdf will randomly hang about 3/4 of the way through a multi-page document scan with no error or warning messages.
Acrobat totally hangs (can't even move the window) and I have to kill the process in the task manager at which time a message appears saying "the process is waiting for input from you". There are no dialogs for input displayed.
System: WinXP, scanner is Dell 964 all in one, Acrobat 7.1.0.
I routinely scan multiple pages in the dell utility without problems.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this or provide a method for debugging?
Thanks.

If you can use AA7 on Win 7, you may be successful. However, you will have to print to the Adobe PDF print. If you were using an earlier version of WORD (2003), then PDF Maker may work. In any case, AcroTray will likely not work. That means you will have to print to the Adobe PDF printer with print-to-file selected. Then open that file in Distiller to complete the process. A bit combersome, but may work. I have done it with AA5 and Win 7 starter -- a bit of a pain and an upgrade is really appropriate. If you have a 64 bit system, you may be totally out of luck.
So, you may be successful in getting AA7 to work in some sense. Do not expect perfection of no errors. Good luck.

Adobe Acrobat Pro X Crashes when Trying to Scan to PDF - Epson Perfection v30 on Windows 7

I am running Windows 7 with Acrobat Pro 10.0.0
I have a Epson Perfection v30 Scanner installed. I open Acrobat, and when I select Scan to PDF, pick the v30 Scanner, and start the scan, it does actually start and complete the scanning process. However, at the moment where it displays the results of the scan, Acrobat crashes with the following Signature:

We have 8 machines with Acrobat and this Printer, and I am able to repeat this with each system.
Does anybody have any ideas? Is anybody using the Epson Perfection v30 scanner?

Any ideas? there was an update on adobe dated 2/25/13. Perhaps if I uninstall it? I need advice on how to uninstall. When I view updates and click on it, and then click uninstall, it goes back to the Program Screen, in Control, for all programs. Then do I click on Acrobat and Uninstall? I am nervous about doing this. Thanks

Acrobat 7.0 Standard can DOCX be converted to PDF

I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard version 7.1.0. I am unable to create a PDF from a DOCX file (Word 2010).
Is this conversion supported?
Also, I am using Windows 7 Professional, and I don't have the ability to right-click to convert to PDF. How can I get this back?
thanks in advance.

Windows 7 Scanning to PDF

Hi,
I have an HP ScanJet 8250 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit PC. I have downloaded the appropriate driver and the PC sees the scanner without problems.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, when I go to Scan to PDF > Configure Presets, I can't change the "Paper Size" to anything other than "Automatic". Is there any way to change this?
The problem is, when I scan an 8.5 x 11 document, it thinks it is an 8.5 x 14 document.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
SBail

I would like to use the software that came with the scanner but it isn't compatible with Windows 7. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there is a version available that is compatible with Windows 7.
This is an older scanner and I'd rather not have to replace it.
Thanks.

Scan to pdf not available in Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard

Hi,
I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard installed on a PC with Windows XP Pro. The scan to PDF feature is not available anywhere in the program but should be as far as I am informed. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks.

Do you have a scanner attached? Does it work in standard graphics packages? Is it set up with a Twain interface? Then again, I have Pro and it may be a feature that is not in AA7 Std -- can't answer that one, but the following link gives a hint that you may need Pro: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/acro7_matrix.pdf

Will Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard Work With Adobe Reader 8.2.4?

Hello,
I have a question, but haven't found an answer to this yet.
Can anyone tell me please: Will Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard work with Adobe Reader 8.2.4?
I had Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard on my computer & it was working with Adobe Reader 8, but don't remember what the version it was.
I was using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard to scan very old family pictures & documents & I realize that this version of Acrobat is outdated.
To make a long story short, my computer had crashed, so we built another computer & just replaced the hard drive. When I went to Adobe, I had to download the newer version of Reader 9.0 & it didn't work with Acrobat 6.0., so I removed Adobe Reader 9 & I found Adobe Reader 8.0 & have downloaded the patches, so now I have Adobe Reader 8.2.4 back on board.
Thank you.

Adobe doesn't recommend any version of Reader with any version of Acrobat on Windows. It will cause problems. It just is a matter of how and when. The problem has to do with shared resources causing conflicts. If you have Acrobat 8, you can update it to Acrobat 8.2.4. You must apply the updates sequentially.

Gaps inbetween letters of full words when Merging files to single PDF (Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard)

I've raised a Bug Report although it says that I may not be contacted so thought someone else might have encountered this issue and hopefully knows what causes it and how to fix. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Heres a copy of the Bug Report details...
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
An intermitent issue is occuring when merging multiple files into a single PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard, the resulting PDF file has gaps inbetween the letters of actual words. For example the word "document" may appear in part of the PDF as "doc ument". This seems to affect various parts of the final PDF file.
Setup: Windows XP SP2, Adobe Acrobat 9.0, Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003
Steps to reproduce bug:
I am currently unable to replicate the issue on demand but this has happened three times since installing Adobe Acrobat 9.0 a month ago. The most recent occurance happened when merging 6 Microsoft Word Documents. It is a real problem due to the fact that every PDF created needs to be carefully checked and in some cases these PDFs have hundreds of pages.
The steps used are:
1) Open Adobe Acrobat 9.0
2) Click File
3) Combine
4) Merge Files into a single PDF
5) Add Files (select the required files)
6) Combine Files (which then processes and creates single PDF)
Results:
A single PDF is then created and as mentioned is occasionally affected by this issue of random gaps appearing within words.
Expected results:
A single PDF with the same formatting and layout as the original files.

Thanks for the response.
I have checked though the Word documents that were used in the most recent merge. They don't have any spaces at these areas or strange formatting. I turned on the Show/Hide option to confirm if there was anything odd but I could not see anything. The formatting (Ctrl+D) shows the default font Arial, Regular, font 12.
The interesting thing is that if it occurs and attempt another file merge the gaps are no longer there. Which makes me think this is unlikely to be the documents and formatting being used and more likely to be a bug in Adobe Acrobat.
Is there anything else that might be of use to know?

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard Combine Files Format Issue

I have an issue combining multiple PDF files into one. Every week we create a sales deck that is made of up 30 or so files. most of the files are created from a program called Cognos Impromptu using the Cognos PDF Server 5.0.44.0. According to the document properties, it creates a PDF Version: 1.3(Acrobat 4.x). I can not change this conversion setting.
I then convert several word documents and Excel documents into PDF files separately and then combine them all together. These individual files are created using Acrobat Distiller 7.0.5 (Windows) and creates a PDF Version: 1.4(Acrobat 5.x).
The problem happens when I throw one of the files created from Cognos into the mix. It causes the formatting on the PDF files created from word and excel to become "ugly". Random letters just drop off from the report and make it unreadable. Pages created from the cognos reports are always ok. If I try the combine excluding the cognos converted PDF files, it works perfectly.
This happened when we got new computers last week. By some stroke of luck, I was able to fix it on my computer and I don't have the issue any more. However, I am trying to fix it on my coworkers computer and Im not having any luck. Our settings match perfectly in Acrobat, Distiller, and PDF Maker installed in Excel and Word. I don't even know what I did to fix mine.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. We are both running Windows XP and have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard edtion.
Thank you

Bill,
thanks for the reply. I think i got it. When they gave us the new computers, they installed a copy of acrobat without some of the latest updates. update 7.0.5,.7,.8, and .9 were missing from our programs. I also noticed that her create to PDF setting for microsoft office was set to standard but the distiller was using high quality. i think fixing the combination of the two may have fixed it. I am going to try and create a full report and see. I will post back and let you know if the issue is gone.
thanks again.

10.5.6 random hang under load

I upgraded two machines to 10.5.6. Since then, both have experienced random hangs -- cursor switches to busy spin, keystrokes are ignored, and the only way to regain control is to power off.
The firewall was disabled recently to install our network backup tools. I enabled firewall on one
of the machines, a Mac Pro (two interfaces, but only en0 is being used) . It hung today at about 8:30 AM:

In the past, the port was used for "connection sharing", and there was a
cable plugged in with the other end disconnected, so it could be picking
up RF. I removed the interface from the NM list.

Greetings,
You have something else wrong there, I updated my own 5 Macs, and 60 at the work site with no real troubles at all.
Dreamweaver works for me, as well as CS4, Suitcase, and many other heavy hitters. Mail, Safari, and all the standard apps that are part of Leopard, as well as iLife, and iWork, and Office 2008 all work fine.
I would uninstall DreamWeaver, and then re-install it. One person I know, not part of my group had similar issues as yours, and did just that, a re-install and it works fine now.
Like was stated in another post, there is some kind of corruption there. The update is not bad at all, in fact the only thing I noticed was, on one of my machines I have external speakers, and I get a loud pop at start up, but that will be fixed soon. That sort of thing is not that big an issue.
Good Luck - Happy Holidays.
Cheers,
M.

Help, my Acrobat 7.0 standard wont open, "plug-in failed to initilize" Can anyone help?

Hi Everyone, im really stuck and not too good with all the tec stuff. My Acrobat 7.0 standard has been working fine for a few years and studdently over the weekend it will not open and gives me the followig error:
"there was an error while loading the plug-in "updater.api". the plug-in failed to initialize"
Does anyone know of any solutions to this problem? Could I uninstall and reiatall or is there an easier way? Apparently although I said 500USD for the product there is no support availabel on the phone unless I upgrade so Im in a bind.
All help would be greathfully accepted.
Thanks for listening

Hi Imwaves,
I repaired the adobe files through the control panel add/remove program and got it up and running but your experience explains why.
I aldo run avast free software and while I have now scanned the adobe files and there are no virsus there prob was before it was repaired...im now doing a full scan of my conputer.
However as you suggested i did check the virus chest and also found soap.api in there which had been removed on 2nd June. I think the virus tricked avast into removing the soap.api file so as to render the program useless.
At least we have gotten to the bottom of it and hopefully it may help ithers who have experience the same thing. Thanks for your help
Cheers

Acrobat 9.2.0 Standart mail a scan

Hello,
when i scan a document with my fujitsu fi5110c, the programm askes me which prgramm should open witch the scan. the i click on Acrobat and the programm opens, the scan and ocr is working.
now i click an the button to send this scan as pdf with an email, without saving the scan on my computer, but the mail programm doesn`t open. This feature has worked, but suddenly nothing happens.
My computer has windows xp, and the mail programm is outlook 2003.
yesterday i have installed acrobat new, but no reaktion.
Somebody here, who can help me?
THX
Ludger
P.S.: Please type slowly, my english is not so good

The question still is not answered.
The problem continues in Acrobat 8.1.7 for Windows, even after updating toAcrobat 8.2.0. ( I can't comment on whether recent updates to Acrobat 9 fix the problem in Acrobat 9.)
The internal error after text insertion problem occurs even with PDF documents created in Acrobat 8, i.e., not only old versions of PDF files. We have the text box insertion icon in the toolbar, and the properties set to "no color" for the box and "0" width for the text box lines, as other commentators have noted.
The problem did not exist when Acrobat 8 Pro was installed, it was introduced by one of the updaters.
The main reason we use Acrobat, rather than much cheaper PDF-creation software, is to annotate PDF files (including inputting data into spaces in standard forms).
So justify the high price of Acrobat and fix the problem please, Adobe !

Acrobat 9 Std Blue Screens on Second Scan

I am using Acrobat 9 Standard with a Fujitsu fi-6140 and the Kofax VRS Twain driver on Win XP SP3. I have it set to launch Acrobat whenever I hit the scan button on the scanner and OCR the PDF in Acrobat.
On the first scan, Acrobat brings up the custom scan dialog, and everything proceeds normally.
However, if I leave Acrobat 9 open and start a new scan, the document scans and I get to the point where Acrobat asks me if the scan is complete, or whether I want to scan more pages. If I tell it the scan is complete, then Acrobat crashes spectacularly with a blue screen. This happens every time. I have tried repairing the installation, reinstalling with the latest scanner drivers, etc. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I was having similar issue on one workstation. I could open and edit other types of docs (word, excel, etc) and could change the names of pdf documents but when saving the pdf after making any changes it would act like it was open by another user and would prompt for saving under different name. Also, could open and edit a document on one workstation and go back to problem one and it couldn't. Both workstations are Windows 7 and were using acrobat v8.1.3
Updated both to 8.1.4 and the issue went away. Couldn't any reference to this problem in the patch notes however.

Updating Acrobat 6.0 Standard without CD

I am trying to install updates to acrobat 6.0 standard, but cannot find the installation disk. It wants the msi file off of that disk in order to install the updates. If I were to put in a disk for 7.0 or 8.0 will it read that msi file and continue installation? Or does it have to be a 6.0 disk? Thanks in advance.

- perform the scan
- use menu Document > Extract Pages...

Activation Issue - Acrobat 8.0 Standard

A Win XP SP3 laptop with Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard ( previously activated ) is now prompting the user that to Activation is required
A reboot of the machine seems to fix this in the short term. However the message is displayed again intermittently.
After the re-boot the option to active / deactivate is disabled

Many people sem to have this problem and for most, rebooting does not solve it.
I have this problem, too. I'm on Acrobat 8 and Windows XP.
Usually this works for me:
- deleting the acrotray process (ctrl alt dl, select processes, sort alphabetically, delete acrotray)
- deleting the Flexnet file (_00080000_tsf.data in FLEXNET folder - probably at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\FLEXnet).
Sometimes it doesn't.
When it doesn't, I go into MS-Word, open a random doc and click on the PDF icon on the toolbar (this bypasses the PDF-writing method which uses your printer setup/drivers). Somehow, this works fine and the PDF is created.
I then go to the original doc I wanted to create, in any app, and use the printer (ie 'control p') driver to write the PDF - the method that had originally failed. The PDF then writes no problem. This always fixes it.
If this doesn't work, there are multiple (and some very complex) fixes suggested by Adobe in the Help section online - search for 'Adobe 8 activation error'. Hopefully the above may help.
Hope this helps - but users seem to all have different configurations and different fixes.
