Acrobat 7 wont pdf from IE8

Hi
I am trying to PDF online reports from Internet Explorer 8. Adobe acrobat starts the PDF then sort of hangs. There is no error message. On checking the print job I find the status as error. it works fine when using firefox but the reports dont work on firefox..
anyone have any ideas on what I can do? I am trying this on a windows 7 32 bit system.

Keep in mind that Acrobat's support for Windows 7 (any flavor) began with Acrobat 9.2.
(See: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/faq/ )
"If you own Acrobat 6, Acrobat 7, or Acrobat 8 software, you are eligible for an upgrade to Acrobat 9. An Acrobat 9 upgrade can be purchased through your Adobe reseller or the Adobe Store. Upgrading to Acrobat 9 will ensure compatibility with Windows 7..."
A matrix that is helpful —
(Acrobat PDF-capable web browsers and PDFMaker-compatible applications (Acrobat 6.x - 9.x on Windows and Mac OS))

Adobe acrobat 8.2.2 update wont pdf from Quarkxpress ?

I just updated adobe acrobat from 8.2.1 to 8.2.2 and suddenly I am unable to print pdf's from Quarkxpress! When I open a quark document and try to pdf it just does nothing and then becomes unresponsive. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be? Help would be much appreciated as I have a deadline looming !
Many thanks

What OS? What version of Quark Express? What happens if you use the Mac OS X pdf capability?

Acrobat add-in not unloading from IE8...

Hi,
I am trying to disable the Acrobat plug-in from IE8, but it is still getting loaded. As you can see in the image below that plugins are marked as inactive, but are still being listed currently loaded plugins section of IE8. Tried logging off and logging on again to unload anything from memory.
Regards,
Arsalan.

It's version 8. I am afraid it would be very difficult to change either IE or Acrobat version because our company only allows technical support to add, remove software and a large number of users are involved in this problem.
Basically what we want is not to open pdf file in the browser. We want the file to open in the windows client. The only way that I found with this version was to disable the plugin.

Creating PDF from HTML without background

Hi,
I want to create a PDF from a html-page. I tried several ways without success to get a PDF without a background (white). I need a transparent background to add different backgrounds for different pages in Acrobat X Pro. I use an iMac with OSX 10.10.2, Safari 8.0.4 and have the MasterCollection 6 installed. I tried:
- print page -> create PDF Result: white background which hides added background
- print page -> save as Adobe-PDF Result: white background which hides added background
- in Acrobat: create PDF from web Result: white background which hides added background
In all cases it doesn't matter if I select "print background" or not. And it doesn't change if I add in the CSS for the web a body {background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0)} or body {background-color:transparent}.
How can I create a PDF with no or transparent background?

Hi Manoj
If your application generate a static html page, you can open those html files with Reports 9i and add a dynamic data sections which would be fetch the data in your html pages with Report servcies. However you can only run those modified pages as a jsp and show the output to browser window.
Thanks

Creating PDF from File, missing Settings

Acrobat Professional. 6.0.
I never used Acrobats "Create PDF from file", as in my MS Office 2000 there was "Acrobat - Convert to Adobe PDF" menu item with the possibility to change joboptions settings.
My current MS Office 2007 now has its own PDF convertor only, so I tried the Acrobats feature "Create PDF from file". It works, but the Settings button is grayed out with all Office file types. I didnt find a way how to access Acrobats settings, so I tried by first opening Distiller and changing the options there. Nothing happened, the output from Acrobat has always the same file size and quality. Of course I could make PDF out from Office by printing to Adobe PDF printer, but how with other file types which are not Office types.
Thanks for suggestions, i.e. for showing me what I eventually didnt consider.

As I and Bernd tried to say. AA6 does not support OFFICE 2007. The fact that you have PDF Maker from AA6 working in WORD 2007 is surprising. Since it is not a normal or supported operation, we have no idea what to tell you. It should not even be working. You are the first one I have ever heard say that they have the AA6 PDF Maker (create PDF is the way it shows up) working in OFFICE 2007!
Thus, I may misunderstand. But I am trying to tell you that none of us have experience with the configuration. Adobe will also tell you to simply upgrade. Unfortunately, that leaves you on your own to experiment. If you have questions along the way based on your observations, we would be glad to try to help, but don't expect too much.

Acrobat XI PDF maker files missing

Have just installed XI. I run Win7 and 32bit Office 2010. PDF export ribbon in showing in word and you can create pdf from this.
The problem arises if you use the right click 'create pdf' function. More importantly, when using the merge multiple files to PDF function. In both cases it works ok with excel but fails on word (in the case of the merge multiple file function all other types f file go in but the word file fails)
I get he message 'PDF maker files missing'. It suggests a repair that I have tried but that doesn't help.
I have checked the COM add in isn't disabled. It's not.
Just can't get this working. Help!!!

Is it that none of the right click options are not working (Create PDF, Create PDF and Email or Combine only)?
Try converting the word file by dragging and dropping the file to Acrobat interface/icon.
Are you able to convert the word document to PDF from Acrobat Ribbon (Acrobat-> Create PDF) from within the word application?
Is the issue with a particular word file or happening with all the word files?

Create PDF From Web Page - Authenticated SharePoint Sites generate "Authorization Failure" error

We have several authenticated sharepoint sites on our intranet, and we are trying to create a PDF of a site (x levels down) using the Acrobat create PDF from web page feature. When you try to create a PDF from a non-sharepoint, authenticated website, a login prompt appears asking for login credentials. However, when you try to use the same feature on an authenticated sharepoint site, you do not get prompted for credentials and instead get an Authorization Failure error. the popup says "Error: Nothing Done". We have successfully PDF'd anonymous sharepoint sites on the WWW. Has anyone successfully PDF'd an authenticated SharePoint site?
Thanks in advance,
-Richard.

I am having the same issue AND none of my pages or files require a UserID or Password. My issue appears to be something with the domain because a and b work just fine and produce a PDF file while item c does not work and produces the error msg.
http://www.dot.wi.gov/projects/neregion/151/index.htm works just fine and produces a PDF file.
http://www.dot.state.wi.us/projects/neregion/151/index.htm works just fine and produces a PDF file.

On new MBP, wont download pdfs from secure sites, like banks. "unknown error" reported. Using Acrobat.

Recently started using a Macbook Pro, formerly ran Firefox on a PC. Installed Acrobat and it works fine, and will download pdfs from internet fine, UNLESS it is from certain sites, that as near as I can tell have in common that I needed a password to get in (eg, Bank, insurance company). At this sites I can't download a pdf file, and am told that an "unknown error" occurred and I should try saving directly link to the disk. But this doesn't work either, it just wants to save a .cgi file, not the pdf. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Did you try to save that cgi file and give it a .pdf file extension?

Acrobat 9 Pro freezes at the attempt to print from IE8

Hi,
I have reoccurring problem with printing to PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.2 (apparently the newest) from various IE8 web pages. Every now and than the little window showing the progress of printing just freezes and the only way to get forward is to end process (using Task Manager) of the printing (adobe) and IE8, (which gets stuck at the same time as well).
Just few minutes ago I just tried to do the same on Equity Thought website from my account and it repeated the same trouble.
I have cleared all temp files and rebooted and tried again, this time switching IE8 to compatibility mode prior, and result is the same. New Adobe Acrobat is failing to print to PDF from some websites and I am unable to find solution on my own.
I have browsed Interent and it appers I am not alone in this problem. IE8 seems to provide a lot of trouible to users of Adobe Acrobat software. However I was unable to find any solution for my case.
On the other PC, where I have still Acrobat Pro 7.1.0 I do not have any problem with printing to PDF. IE8 does not need to be in compatibility mode for this.
Both PC are on Win XP pro with SP3.
So I would assume this is not MS software problem but Adobe.
Therefore my query is:
Is anyone familiar with this type of problem and knows where to look for solution, or maybe even knows what the solution could be, please.

No, I do not think I used Adobe PDF Maker before.
I use only Adobe PDF printer that is created during the install (in my case it came with CS3).
The “freeze” happens when the little window called “creating Adobe PDF” comes on and blue progress indicator starts moving to the right. Somewhere past half way it just gets stuck and I can wait one, two, three or more minutes and nothing will happen. Hide button sometimes works and sometimes does not. In any way after that everything freezes (means Acrobat and IE8 stuff) and the only way to clean it is to use Task Manager to end processes.
I use Acrobat extensively to print from web, from AutoCAD and from all MS Office applications for last nine ten years (since Acrobat 4) and this is first time I have any trouble.
What do you mean by "new hook"?
Why would it affect Acrobat 9 and not version 7?

Acrobat/Reader X Error trying to open PDF in IE8

When I click on a link in IE8 to a PDF I get the following message:
"There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1:1)"
I have Windows 7 32-bit with IE8. It worked fine when I had Acrobat 7 standard and Adobe Reader X installed. Then I uninstalled Acrobat 7 standard and installed the trial version of Acrobat X (need to make sure it works before I purchase it for everyone in domain) and I can now create PDF's, but can't view them in IE8.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I would need some more information to try to diagnose this.
* can you launch Acrobat X by double-clicking it? Do any dialogs (like the End-User License Agreement) show up that you have to click through?
* in Acrobat X, open Edit -> Preferences and go to the Internet tab. You should see a path to acrobat.exe, underneath the "Display Browser in PDF" checkbox. Is the checkbox checked? Is the path correct?
* can you open a PDF from the internet in IE8? Try http://acroeng.adobe.com/Test_Files/quickie/SONNETS.pdf (my particular favorite).

Acrobat X Std does not print from IE8 menu, rt click works...

Weird.
I can't print an embedded PDF in IE8 going through File, Print. Nothing happens. There is no error, the thing just disappears.
File, Print Preview shows the frame images, but not the embedded PDF. I can, however, right click on the embedded PDF and select Print from that menu and it prints properly.
Acrobat Standard 10.1, Win7 x64 Ent, IE8, all updates are current for all items.

The x64 version may be the issue. Even AA X is a 32-bit application I think. That may mean it does not show up in the 64-bit environment. At least that is a thought you might pursue, not that I really know what I am talking about for 64-bit machines.

Open PDF in IE8 with Acrobat, not Reader ?

Hi Chaps,
I used to be able to open a PDF from a HTML link, which would then open in Internet Explorer 8 using Adobe Acrobat.
Since installing Adobe Reader, all PDFs open in IE8 using Reader, instead of Acrobat, so now I cannot edit the PDF.
I've searched through Preferences in both programs, changed all associated program file types to Acrobat, reinstalled Acrobat but I cannot get it back!
I'm using Windows 7 [64-bit], Acrobat 9, Reader 9.
If anyone knows which option to change, it'll help me out no end!

Adobe doesn't support Reader and Acrobat on the same Windows computer. Uninstall Reader and then re-install Acrobat.

Is there any way to "Print to PDF" from Acrobat?

In Windows, you can open a PDF in Acrobat and print it to a PDF. This isn't behavior isn't available in the Mac version—trying to use "Save as PDF" and "Save as Adobe PDF" both produce the following error message:
Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save.
Is there any way to print to a PDF from Acrobat Pro X on a Mac (running Snow Leopard)?
Note: There's a utility to being able to print from a PDF to PDF (which I why I suspect it's available in the Windows version), so "You're doing it wrong—just Click File > Save" would not be a very helpful response. I'm sure there are other uses for the functionality, but in my case in particular I need to split each page of a scanned PDF in which each page contains two pages of the original document. Printing to a PDF provides an easy way to do this, but I'm open to a more appropriate solution if it's available.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Adobe removed the ability to "refry" (make a PDF from a PDF) several versions ago.
what you need is to go to document and choose Remove (delete) pages (if it’s a duplicate Page)
You can also extract pages, add pages and so on. See this:

Hyperlinks not converting when creating a pdf from Word 2010 to Adobe Acrobat 11.0.6

First off, let me say that these are not table of contents hyperlinks. I have created a document in Word 2010 (not a MAC) with hyperlinks to files residing on our company's intranet. In Word the hyperlinks work great but when I create the pdf, the links do not work. I have converted using both PDFMaker from Word and Create a pdf from within Acrobat. Yes, I have all the boxes checked regarding saving links. The links appear to work partially. Meaning that when I hover the cursor over the link, the pointy finger appears but when I click I get a pop-up message telling me the file could not be opened. Also, when I hover over the hyperlink, the address appears. So, I think it knows there's a link and it tries to open but can't. When I create the file within Adobe the link works - once. When I click on the link I get a pop-up window asking me if I want to save my file before closing. After my response the file closes and the linked file opens. However, when I go back into the file and try the hyperlink again, I get the pop-up telling me the file cannot be opened. HELP! I am at my wits end. After spending hours yesterday trying to research (I think I read every thread related to hyperlinks but I am not using a Mac, table of contents or Adobe 7 around which it seems all the prior questions revolve) and futily creating and recreating the pdf (as if doing the same thing repeatedly would somehow magically work) I am about to give up. This is a document that will be published to our intranet for use by employees which cross-references other documents to which they can refer for additional information. I would prefer to publish a pdf and not a Word document. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for your input Bill. I've checked the preferences and "view large images" is turned on. It's not all of the images which are missing, only certain ones do not transfer over to PDF.
