Acrobat 7.09 freezeup while doing convert file to PDF

I will post this in the CS2 forum as well... I've been ignoring this error for a few months as I can work around it in other programs...but...
trying to create a PDF from a Word file (.doc) in Acrobat 7.09, installed as a part of CS2 on my XP SP2 machine brings up this error:
AcroDist.exe Application error
The instruction at "0x00441ae2" referenced memory at "0x01ebdc".
The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the problem.
OK. Hang Freeze. The program dies try to spool the doc to Adobe PDF Converter (listed with the Printers)...my description may lack technical specificity, but this same error happens every time.
The only KB solution I've found gives 10 pages of things to attempt. Brutal.
I've down the repairs, uninstall, reinstall, registry clean, startup edit...this is ridiculous. I notice, too, that a similar error comes up for Acrobat 8 users, both in XP and Vista.
Has anyone found a solution to this that I've overlooked? Again, Acrobat 7 in CS2.
Thanks, jra

Not sure I have a clue. As a wild thought that does not seem to be related, have you tried to empty the TEMP folder? Have you tried to print just a few pages? Are you using print to Adobe PDF or PDF Maker?

Acrobat 8.3.0 has stopped converting files to .pdf

Hi,
For some reason my acrobat 8.3 has stopped converting files. When I hit a convert command it trys, works to about 10-15%, then either comes back with a message that "Unable to convert, please correct the problem" or simply stops working and the Word(tm) document might flash and remain on the screen with no pdf created. I have tried to repair through the Help tab, and have also tried reinstalling from My Computer functions. Anybody know what i should do????

Hi Bill,.
Well, still having same problem.
I found acrotray and it appears to be running, still did not work.
So, decided to uninstall and install. Did as you suggested, deleted the folders, deactivated the product with Adobe, and then reinstalled from my original files. This was Version 8.1.0. I thought it would update itself, or atleast work from this version. no avail.
The conversion gets to 10% then the message, "unable to convert this file, correct errors and retry" continues to come up. at least it is consistent.
I am using Vista Home. I am going to try and update that to see if it helps, but seems to me i have done that a few times the last few weeks and did not help. Should i D/L fresh files from the adobe site?
Could it be a printer spooler problem where the printer won't start or something?
i do appreciate your help.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

Hi,

Acrobat/adobe won't let me convert files

It keeps telling me I have to buy the program. I pay for the Cloud on a monthly subscription and I really need to get this file converted so I can make changes for a meeting tomorrow!

I am logged in and am registered. It will simply not let me convert most PDF's to word, whether I open it with adobe, acrobat or pro 11. When I download documents from the school library, I can convert them, anything else I can't. And I really need to. What else can I try?

When you close Adobe Acrobat and launch it again if this is not registered yet.
It will ask you to either use serial number or you may see option subscribe .
You can choose subscribe or register and use your Adobe Id (email id registered with Adobe). As you said you have already purchased subscription then you should be able to activate the subscription the moment you

- PDF sucks. It is designed for printing, and I (for one) don't want to kill more trees, and have no printer.
- This subject (convert file to PDF) has been discussed on the forums a bazillion times. Did you search the forums before asking your two (very closely related) questions?

Convert files to PDF in asp

I need a web application (asp page) that can combine four files (tif, xfd, pdf, html) into one pdf file and stream it back to the user. These files are sitting on an IIS 6.0 server. I have Adobe acrobat 8 professional and was able to convert all the files to PDF's using the Adobe PDF silent printing in a visual basic application. However, It does not work when I call this executable from an asp page. I tried putting this code into a DLL to use it in a web page and it did not work. Any ideas on what I need to do to make this work?

Pre-configure save location for converting files to PDF from shell context menu

Hi all,
I like Acrobat's integration into the Windows Explorer through the shell context menu command "Convert to PDF", which allows me to drag select a number of files (word documents et cetera) to batch convert them into PDF. It beats doing batch processing fr the Acrobat interface.
However, it asks me for the save location of each file individually. I would like to have them saved in the same directory as the original file, as the default option so I won't have to attend to the conversion. I can't find such an option in Acrobat's preferences menu though
Any gurus or users here know of a way around that?
Regards,
Jay

Does your user have custom add-ons besides the Acrobat PDFMaker add-on? If so, try disabling the other add-ons as a test to see if you get the same results.
Does your user have a custom template? Try moving it out and using the standard MS Word template as test?
Did your user have a previous installation of Adobe Acrobat?? If so, check the Add-ons to see if an older version is still registered with MS Word.

Converting files into PDF/A format

Hello,
My main questions are:
1) How can I convert a normal document (say, word document) into PDF/A format using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 standard (that's what we use in the office)?
2) When we convert a file into PDF using Adobe Acrobat, does it save the file automatically in PDF/A format or is it normal PDF?
3) How can I tell if a file is in PDF/A format? Will it have a different extension than PDF?
4) What disadvantages are there related to PDF/A format (if any)?

Thanks pogopossum,
I'm using now Goodreader. This has also the advantage of a good interlinking to other available documents.
This is also not functioning with ibooks. Goodreader has some drawbacks compared to ibooks.
You cannot recognize the books easily since no frontpages are present and you need to scroll more to find the correct document. A annoying thing is that once you enlarge the index and jump to a linked page that page will show up in the enlarged fashion. So you always need to resize the new page. This problem is not present in ibooks. An enormous good feature of Goodreader is the easy and many ways to import files.
