Acrobat 8 Pro now unable to create pdf files

Been using Acrobat 8 for well over a year.  Installed new release of AutoCAD 2012, now unable to create pdf files from AutoCAD or MS Office programs.  Can anybody help?

You may still want to at least give a repair a shot. Won't hurt and sometimes customer suport (I assume you mean Adobe customer support?) will miss some things. I believe in your version you can find it under the Help menu.

  • Acrobat pro 8.12 cant create pdf files

    Hi
    win xp sp2 canoscan 9950F when I select create pdf from the getting started screen I get the adobe acrobat 8.1 has encountered a problem screen (microsoft)When I check the data error report screen this is the heading
    AppName: acrobat.exe AppVer: 8.1.0.137 ModName: admplugin.apl
    ModVer: 3.16.128.32 Offset: 000a7bf1
    It then closes down. Everything worked with acrobat 7.
    Any ideas what this can be, and how I can fix
    it
    thanks
    Peter

    One thing to try would be to update your scanner drivers by downloading the latest versions from Canon website.

  • Does Acrobat Pro read the content in pdf file and transforms it?

    Does Acrobat Pro read the content in pdf file and transforms it to xls file without the need for much changes or manual work?

    Acrobat X (Standard and Pro) will save tabular data to XLS or XLSX format, provided it can recognize the table as being a table. If the PDF has missing or incorrect structure tags, Acrobat will try to guess the table layout by the position of text and lines on the page - this works well for basic formatting but if the table has complex styling, spanned cells etc. it can lead to problems.
    Acrobat X will even attempt to export a table within a scanned document, by applying OCR during the export stage - though again this relies on the table being visually identified.
    See http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/pdf-to-word-excel-converter.html and this article on how to extract one table from a larger document.

  • Unable to create pdf files after upgrade to acrobat dc, acrobat crashes

    Since I just upgraded to Acrobat DC I am not able to create PDF files any more. Whatever program I tried, the PDF-printing process always crashes. Deinstallation and reinstallation does not help in any way. Even worse, there is no option to install any former version of Adobe Acrobat through the Creative Cloud App. Any office or CAD software from which I am trying to print also totally stucks from the PDF printing process. I am a freelancer and have some urgent deadlines tomorrow, so the last thing I need right now is trouble with my pdf-printer. Any help is highly appreciated. (Windows 7 Professional, HP ZBook 15 Mobile Workstation).

    For those of you who are Creative Cloud members and are facing the same problem, this is the way to reinstall Acrobat XI Pro (you will not find this option within the Creative Cloud App):
    1. Make sure you uninstalled Acrobat DC.
    2. Log in with your account data on https://creative.adobe.com
    3. Go to https://creative.adobe.com/de/products/acrobat
    4. Choose Acrobat XI Pro from the dropdown menu and click the download button.
    5. An event handler will ask you in a popup window if you want to open the link within the Adobe Creative Cloud App. Choose CreativeCloud(URIHandler) from the list and hit okay.
    6. The Download will now apear in the Apps list of the Creative Cloud App and can be installed by hitting the Install button.
    Took me some time to figure that out and I would prefer to use the latest Acrobat version. But as long as Acrobat DC causes my other applications to crash, Acrobat XI Pro will do the job.

  • Unable to create PDF files from any application in any Acrobat version

    Hello, I am hoping someone can help me find a solution to a problem I am having creating PDF files.
    I have searched the Internet for a solution to this problem and can't find any information that helps me.
    I am running OSX 10.8.5 on a 2.5 GHZ Intel i5 Mac Laptop
    I cannot create PDFs from any program, Quark, Word, ect.
    When I try to print to the PDF printer, the printer pauses when it tries to open the Distiller. When I click resume, it pauses itself again.
    I have tried to save the document and create the PDF from within the distiller itself and get this error log:
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: MMXPR3 ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    I was originally using Acrobat 8, But I installed the trial version of Acrobat 11 and it has the same problem.
    The problem seems to be something to do with the distiller. I have a lot of Adobe software so I am trying to avoid a clean/re-install of Adobe software but will do it as a last resort.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

  • Unable to create PDF - file could not be printed

    I am having a problem with a user who is unable to create a pdf using Adobe Standard 8
    The error messages is as follows:
    your file could not be printed due to an error on adobe pdf on Ne 04
    http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f97/bsucards/584872418744_adobe.jpg
    I have tried to uninstall Adobe Standard 8 and reinstall and do all the updates
    I have uninstalled Adobe Reader 9 and downgraded it to Adobe Reader 8
    I have reinstalled Office XP
    I have created a new profile for this user
    The only way I can get it to work is to make the user an admin, which is not an option.  We have other users in the company using this version of Adobe without any problems

    Hi I dont think this is a permissions issue I just created a new WINDOWS PROFILE this fixed the issue the user already was a admin on the computer.  The issue was trying to save/print any file to PDF to either network or local to computer.  Once the new profile was made I was able to test and could once again create pdf files.  There must have been something in the old profile causing the issue and the new profile fixed the issue it was a last thing to to try as had tried everything I could think of.

    My computer is running Windows 7 64bit with Office 32bit.

  • Firefox 8... Unable to create PDF files from screen using Adobe Acrobat X...what happened?

    I'm no longer able to use the Adobe feature to create PDF's from the Firefox screen.
    Unable to find any information on correcting this issue.
    I would not have upgraded to Firefox 8 if I knew the loss of the Adobe PDF feature would be effected.
    I reinstalled the standard Adobe Acrobat X with no results...
    What happened?

    Firefox Support - I even create a Firefox account just to agree with [email protected] I appreciate the word "Thank you for being awesome!" when I registered the account and I certainly do hope you all guys being awesome to. Please do something with all this Firefox update - add-on plugin no longer support thingy. Firefox still awesome, it's just that I can't do much wit it anymore like I used to do. Ohh yayy theres Safari..

  • Acrobat pro 9 won't open pdf files

    Just downloaded trial version of pro 9 for Mac.  I tried to install pro 8 and found out that it is not compatible with snow leopard.  The uninstall in version 8 is also not compatible with snow leopard.  So I had all kinds of trouble uninstalling version 8.  This may be the problem.  I finally got version 8 off the Mac but the uninstall may not be complete.  I installed version 9 and I'm having all the same problems that I did after I installed 8.
    The uninstall of version 9 worked and I tried reinstalling it.  Still won't open a pfd file.  The main problem is that I get the following error when I click on a pdf file.
    "The document “5 Chptr 2010.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format."
    What do I need to do to get version 9 to work????
    Also when I click on the Acrobat icon in my tray the program does not launch.  All I get is the menu bar at the top of my screen.  On my windows machine when I open acrobat I get the "wizard" screen that allows me to select what tasks I want to do.  And when I try to create a pdf file from a msoffice word document it won't allow me to convert the document.  I get the following error message.
    "Acrobat could not open 'This is a test document.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF or use the Acrobat toolbar found in Microsoft Office applications."

    Hi rms,
    Have you installed Acrobat X and XI Pro both on the same Mac.
    Adobe doesn't recommend coexixting different versions of the same software.
    Please remove both the versions and install any one of them and then check.
    Also make sure you have updated Acrobat to the latest patch.
    For 10 it's v 10.1.9 and for 11 it's v11.0.6

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI unability to open pdf mail attachments

    Since upgrading to Adobe Acrobat Pro XI I am unable to open most pdf attachements on outlook. The message is that the file is corrupt or was encoded wrong. How do I correct this.

    Hi Pat
    I tried to save the attachment to the hard drive in Outlook 2013.
    When opening the file in acrobat the error says that the file is either not a supported type or damaged (incorrectly encoded)
    I have Acrobat Pro XI version 11.0.10 and windows 7 64 bit installed. It worked perfect on Acrobat pro X until about December 2014. In tried a repair, a clean install of XI. The files are bank statements. It works on Mac and Adobe reader, so the files must be correct.
    Regards

  • Acrobat Pro won't open a PDF file.

    I know this isn't a Mac question but I've been to Adobe and they are no help. I have PDF files that were created by Acrobat Pro that will not open when I click on the file icon yet, if I open the Acrobat program it will open the file. This is annoying. Has any one experienced this and is there a solution?

    Thanks, your response helped. I knew Preview was the default for PDF files but I had changed that (using Get Info) but I failed to notice two important items. (1) The "Change All" button and (2) the "lock icon down in the lower right part of the window. Once I reselected Acrobat as the "opening" program, selected "Change All", AND unlocked the window so that changes would be incorporated, and OH, I even threw in a restart, everything works as expected. Picky, Picky, Picky.
    Thanks again.

  • Acrobat Pro X fails to open PDF files after new install

    Hi
    We have installed Adobe Design Premium CS5.5 and the issue we have is that when you try to open a PDF document directly nothing happens, the egg times displays for 1-2 seconds then disapears. We have to open Acrobat Pro from the start menu and let it open, then close it again, when we then try again to open a PDF document directly it now opens.
    Why wont Adobe open the document directly without having to open the program first?
    We are a school and have Adobe Design Premium installed on 500 computers.
    Thanks

    Usually related to file associations in Windows. Right click on the PDF and select the Open With option and select Acrobat. Be sure to check "always open with."

  • Unable to create PDF files from Excel 2010 x64

    I am currently having problems with the Excel PDF plugin that comes with Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.7.  Whenever I try to click on "Create PDF" or "Preferences" (or any of the buttons for that matter), I get the following error dialogue:
    The Acrobat plugin for Word functions perfectly, only Excel gives me problems.  I've already tried repairing Office & Acrobat as well as doing a complete uninstall/reinstall.  Has anyone come across this issue before?  It should also be noted that the account I am using has full administrator privileges.

  • My Acrobat Pro will not open my PDF Files any suggestions?

    My acrobat pro does not open, anyone else out there with the same problem?

    Sherbear2359 (I believe that the US has the right to arm bears so I will be very nice.)
    My Adobe Acrobat stopped opening pdfs. Now in the past it was Windows 8.1 playing tricks by thinking that the Adobe software was a trial which expired
    Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite Tried it and it worked.
    Tried the fix again now no change.
    I suspect that a Microsoft patch stuffed it up. They have had a few problems.
    I used Reader with open with but I want pdf to be opened by Adobe.
    Thanks

  • Using Acrobat XI MAC, unable to create Word file from PDF. Tried a simple PDF as well as a complex file. Neither can be created.

    Using Acrobat XI mac. Why can I not create a Word file from a PDF?  Tried some remedies offered online, i.e. convert to PDF X4:2008 then try to convert to the Word file. No go. Advise.

    Hello,
    I have tried 3 PDFs: one with only text -  created in Illustrator(CS5)  and saved as a PDF default, and the second which was a complex form of text and scanned images created in QuarkXpress and saved as a PDF for print purposes. The third file was a simple PDF offered online to solve problem.
    Each attempt was to create a Word file. Each received the same error message: Save as failed to process this document. No file was created.
    Thank you in advance.
