Acrobat 8.0 Pro Conversion problem

Hi, I'm running
Acrobat 8.0 Pro on a Windows XP system, got plenty of disk space.
I start to covert a normal word doc and I get about 10 percent done, then
I get "PDF conversion process failed, please correct the error and retry"
I have no idea what the error might be. Any suggestion would be appreciated!
Thank you, larry.k

Hi, thanks,
Under the Help About it says just Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, version
8.2.5, nothing more.
Yes I am trying to convert a .doc within Acrobat. I'm clicking on Create
PDF, then From File,
then I'm navigating to the .doc file. Then it gets about 10 percent and
fails.
The Word that I am using is Word 2003, it's the old format, nothing new in
there that I know
of.
The Adobe PDF printer appears in my printer list, however it does not have a
driver so nothing
can print to it. I don't know how it got there, but it doesn't work.
Word does not have a PDF add-in, so the one that is appearing on my menu
came from
Adobe.
I did find a .log file after trying to convert, it shows this:
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: ÐÏ à¡± á ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
That doesn't help me much!!
I de-activated all the plug-ins in word, then restarted and it made me
approve them all again. Adobe was in there, but it still won't convert
to PDF.
Thanks,
larry.k

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

Acrobat 9.1.1 Pro - Excel problems

Dear Sirs,
I am using Acrobat 9.1.1 Pro to convert excel 2007 files (xlsx) to pdf. The problem is that images are wrong placed in the pdf file.
I am not an expert and i'm asking for your help to solve this problem. Initially I used Acrobat 9.0 Pro and everything was OK, but along with the update to 9.1.1 this problem occured,
Please help since I use this feature alot.
Thank you.

Hi,
It seems that the problem is of the content layout on the page! Try out the following:
1. Open up the problematic file in Excel and go to 'Office Button -> Print-> Print ' dialog and select 'Adobe PDF' printer in that dialog. Click 'Close'.
2. Now go to 'Office Button -> Print-> Print Preivew' and check the layout and content.
If you see issues here, then you need to re-layout the page contents to get the desired output.
Thanks.

Insert phots to PDF forms a problem in Acrobat 9.0 pro

I'm trying to figure out a way to insert image files into a PDF form. Ultimately I want to distribute this PDF form and allow the users the opportunity to insert their own picture. Unfortunately, there's no tool for this on the interface that I can find. I'm also very new to Acrobat, so that could be the reason.
The only way I was even able to do something like this was to use the watermark tool. But users of this form won't have Acrobat 9 or Pro to use to add their own picture. Is there a way to accomplish this so that users with Acrobat Readers will be able to do this?

Ted Padova has a blog on Enabling Adobe Reader Users Options for Importing Images on Forms that explains how to do this on AcrobatUsers.com at:

Problems installing Adobe acrobat 6.0 Pro on Surface Pro

I cannot complete the installation of Adobe acrobat 6.0 Pro on Surface Pro. The process stopped and the status bar is about 70%. I cannot close of cancel the process. It is stuck on my computer.

Is it running Win 8 and is it 32 or 64 bit OS? AA 6 is not listed as compatible with Win8 and you may very likely have to buy AA XI. Sorry, but AA 6 is too old for an upgrade.

Acrobat 8.1 Pro & AutoCad 2006 problems

We're having problems with the "latest version" of Adobe Acrobat Professional working properly with Autodesk/Autocad 2006. It is dropping out areas at random as well as adding in lines at random. Has anyone else heard of this problem or a fix. We have all the computers set to install the patches as Adobe pushes them out. It is getting very frustrating since we upgraded because it was supposed to work with Autocad better and it works worse. The previous version of Acrobat didn't have this problem...
Thanks

Aside from the file problem, it is not consistent in what it doesn't include from one PDF to the next of the same drawing. Of course it may be perfect. It is not layers it is sections of layers, or even parts of a letter. One example a large bold "C" which is made up of a number of lines doesn't include all the lines in the lower half so it looks bold on the top but not on the bottom. It may leave out difusers from one section but not another or a piece of duct work. It has also put in random lines. Sending a sample file will not give you a good picture of the problem.

File Size Conversion Problem

I recently began to see large pdf files being generated intermittently, even at relatively low dpi.
So to test, I took two jpg photos and converted them to pdf using Acrobat 9.2 Pro at 72, 144, 300 and 600 dpi. The resulting pdf file sizes are 106KB, 1920KB, 1195KB and 361KB respectively. I have never experienced this problem before, so I un-installed and re-installed the program, but got the same results. Any thoughts? Thanks

Any details on how you did the conversion? Are they B&W, grayscale, 256 colors, or a 24-bit color graphic? What is the size?
Of course you may also see compression aspects coming in. How you select the DPI can make a difference. In one package I have, when I adjust the DPI, the size changes and the resultant file size when printed to PDF remains about the same. The size combinations you give seem real strange, but it may be a combination of DPI, size of graphic, and downsampling by Acrobat. If you do not want the latter, then you should probably use a Press or Print setting if printing to retain the max resolution of what you are printing.
Note I feel into a discussion of printing, but you may have done something differently. How you set the DPI could be an issue. If these were graphics that you imported into a PDF, then give the graphic size, not just the DPI. We have to be able to replicate your problem to help in many cases. We at least need to know the steps you used as the answer may be starring us all in the face when the steps are provided.

Error: adobe acrobat elements has encountered a problem and needs to close

When I right-click to Convert to PDF or Convert to PDF and EMail for .xls, .xlsx, .doc, .docx, .pptx, .ppt, .pub, and .igx items (what I've tried so far), I get the following error: "Adobe acrobat elements has encountered a problem and needs to close". It works fine on .bmp .tif, .txt, .htm, and .jpg (what I've tried so far). I am not having problems printing to Adobe to convert, nor am I having problems creating a PDF within a program, and I'm not having problems converting from IE. I am using Windows XP Professional, Microsoft 2007, and IE 7. My Adobe product is Adobe Acrobat X Pro Version 10.1.2. What can I do to resolve this problem? Thanks.

No, I don't have an older version. I did a search on my C drive for anything that has a name of Acrobat Elements and came up with the following: (I'm hoping you can see this)

Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro crashes at start up: Runtime Error-please help

I have Adobe CS4 installed on my Windows 7 PC. In addition, I have Adobe Reader XI and InDesign 6 installed. If I remember correctly, after I installed Adobe Reader XI, I uninstalled the version of the Reader which came with CS4.
So here’s my problem: When I try to download a PDF that has been sent to me in an email or open one that already exists on my computer, this happens:
Runtime Error!
Program: C…
The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
When I click OK, I get this:
Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has stopped working.
If I try to Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro from my start menu, the same thing happens.
This makes no sense to me because
I don’t have the knowledge to figure this out. I have no idea what Runtime is.
Prior to a computer meltdown a couple of months ago and a complete reinstallation of everything, these very same programs all worked just fine.
I don’t understand why, when I try to open an emailed PDF, they don’t automatically open in Adobe Reader XI rather than Adobe Acrobat. Isn’t the general idea that people be able to open and view sent PDFs which they have been sent, which is what the Reader is for, and not usually edit them, which is what Adobe Acrobat is for?
If, instead of trying to open the emailed PDFs, I save them to my computer, I can launch Adobe Reader XI and open them from within that program without any problem. That’s OK if I just need to view the PDF, but I need to be able to edit PDFs too, so I must get Adobe Acrobat 9.0 to work.
Would reinstalling Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro help? Is there a way to reinstall that program only from the installation disks or would have to reinstall CS4 entirely?
I cannot open Adobe Acrobat 9.0 at all, so any solutions which must be done with the program open are not possible.
I would really appreciate some help.

SOLVED!
Resetting Internet Explorer didn't work, Reinstalling Acrobat 9.0 Pro didn't work, but changing a registry key did.
Here's where I found the solution:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error opening PDF files - Microsoft Community
Here is the relevant post, but before you try it, read my note below:
Hi,
This is known issue with Acrobat for several versions now, Adobe's current fix is just to update their software: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404597.html
The problem is with the application data being misdirected.
"The affected user has a redirected Application Data folder and as a result the network path containing the Application Data uses a UNC path that begins with \\. This UNC path causes Acrobat 9.0 or Adobe Reader 9.0 to incorrectly parse the Application Data path and give the error message."
A potential Solution would be to go into the registry. Left Click type "regedit" and right click and run the program with "run as administrator". Go to Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\User Shell Folders and make sure see where "AppData" is pointing. If it is pointing to "%UserProfile%/Application Data" change it to point to "%UserProfile%/AppData/Roaming".
BUT, be careful about one thing: This poster seems to have accidentally used forward slashes when he should have use back slashes. Look at the very last line of his post where he advises "If it is pointing to "%UserProfile%/Application Data" change it to point to "%UserProfile%/AppData/Roaming". You'll find, or at least I did, that this key has a back slash, not a forward slash, so changing what I found: "%UserProfile%\Application Data" to "%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming" worked and now Acrobat 9.0 works fine.

How can I persuade Acrobat 8.0 Pro to upgrade from cold comfort CS2 without Acrobat 7.0?

I have a Student version of CS2 Premium (including Acrobat 7.0 pro), included in the package was an upgrade version of Acrobat 8.0 Pro.
It worked well all those years on my XP. Now I had to change my system and installed Win 7. Found out that my CS2 was no longer on (de- and re-)activation terms, so I downloaded CS 2 here and read here thoroughly about the problems of my fellow sufferers before I started unpacking and installing, and I must say, the discussions here helped me a lot to avoid tricky traps and I have at least achieved to install the for my work most important parts of CS2 properly, i.e. Indesign and Photoshop. (The most important trick is to start all the 4 exes in an interval of one minute so that they lie all neatly unpacked in the target folder before or short after the first exe to unpack which is oddly No.2 has done it's unpacking and instantly following installation job, and the show can go on.)
Quite oddly, Illustrator refuses to be installed. It says "Falsches BS oder BS-Version für die Anwednung" (wrong BS or BS-Version for the application. I quoted it in German because I don't know if BS is the same term in English). But that is a minor problem, like the one with GoLive which was not even in the bundle. I downloaded it separately and tried to install it but it gives the same mistake massage. Maybe there is somebody enlightened who reads this and would like to give me a hint?
Here is what is really annoying: Acrobat 7.0 Pro was not in the download bundle because, as it has been discussed here at length, the Premium version seems not to be available. I downloaded it separately and installed it and all worked well so far.
That was the moment when I thought that I could install my upgrade version of Acrobat 8.0 on top of it. Acrobat accepted the serial no. and started to install but gave a warning that I should better uninstall 7.0 because I risked technical problems if not. I risked to not uninstall because I needed it as a proof for the upgrade license, didn't I?
But at the very end of the installation, there WAS a technical problem, a tiny black screen with a white message which I could not read so fast, and Acrobat 8.0 undid it's whole installation. I uninstalled 7.0 too, restarted the system, and got a blue screen. This whole encounter had somehow interfered with my printer's driver and maybe my GeForce driver. That was the day's smallest problem and could be fixed.
Well, leaving 7.0 uninstalled, I tried to install Acrobat 8.0 Pro again, and this time, it refused to continue after having read my serial number, because of course I had no installed proof for my license to upgrade. So it's either crash or refuse, a real unmerry-go-round dilemma, like having the cake and eat it.
Formerly, this problem did not exist because Acrobat 7.0 belonged to the bunch and could be uninstalled whithout my losing the license to upgrade because there was still the rest of the CS2 family waving the flags.
Surely, there must be a workaround here - is it possible to half uninstall Acrobat 7.0, maybe by fiddling something in the registry (I know how to save it before!) or just kicking the uncouth drivers out? But where are they hidden and what are their names? The replacement serial number given on the download side would be accepted, as we have seen.
I really do hope that one of you has already found a solution to that problem, too.
I hope I have mentioned everything necessary and there are no questions left. Thank you for your patience.
Saskia
P.S. For my biggest problem, I have been given a fine solution by the support after a long chat. After some unavailing trials to unlock the serial number they created a new SN for my Acrobat 8, and now it works fine and I am the happiest girl of the day. The first (minor) problem still remains. I have an idea and wanted to ask if you specialists think it could work. As I never made any use of version cue, maybe I don't need to install the applications as a suite. Trying to install one of the bundle as a separate application did not work, but maybe this was because of the existence of CS2? Would it help if I'd uninstall CS2 and install each application separately?

BS heißt "Bull___****". *lol* "Betriebssystem" heißt imemr noch "operating system". GoLive wirste wohl gar nicht zum laufen kriegen. ohnehin würde man es nicht mehr verwenden, weil es noch nicht mal CSS2 voll unterstützt geschweige denn HTML 5 und andere moderne Webstandards. Wenn überhaupt, dann findeste vielleicht noch 'ne OEM CD von Strato oder 1und1 bei eBay. Die haben das damals mit jedem neuen Hostingvertrag rausgehauen. Aber wie gesagt, es ist den Aufwand nicht wert. Illustrator sollte sich durchaus installieren lassen. Eventuell einfach nochmal die Installer im Win XP Kompatibilitätsmodus laufen lassen...

Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Pro., Edu. Version

Hello,
I registered my CD and have the serial numbers for Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional (Education version)
and I just bought a new notebook with windows 8, no cd drive, however. Is there a download URL I can get
to install the Adobe Acrobat 6.9 Pro? I cannot afford to buy a new version right now. I think spending what
I did originally should allow me to have at least one download correct?
thank you
Debbie

If you can find the trial version of the software at the site linked below you can use your original serial number to activate it. You might have a problem getting it to install and/or work properly... It is possible that it will not work with Windows 8.
