Acrobat 9.4.6 will not create Word PDF.

Hi --
I have a Adobe Acrobat PRO 9.4.6 installation that can not create a Word 2003 SP3 documents to a PDF. If I create a text file I can covert the file to a PDF. If I careate a new word documnet file with "hello world", save the file to a DOC or DOCX, and try to convert it to a PDF the distiller does through the process and simply stops responding.
OS Vista 32 bit
office 2003 SP3
Office 2007 compatability pack is installed
I did try removing Acrobat and reinstalling it with the same results.
Any ideas what I should try next?
Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks Bill,
Since then this is what I have found.
If I use the Printing feature files can be opened in Solaris Gnome PDF Viewer, but as you know, links and bookmarks will be lost.
I tried to set the backward compatibility option to Acrobat 1.3 (the oldest option) but somehow it always resets to 1.6 when I save the PDF file.
All fonts are embedded and I have reinstalled Acrobat just in case.
I tried with different PDF converters and so far Foxit Phantom PDF works fine with Solaris (and also cheap). It gets stuck when there is a complicated line drawings in the Word file, but otherwise it has been stable and bookmarks/links have been alive. If I don't find a breakthrough in a couple of days, I will switch to Foxit.
Anyhow, thank you for your support.

Will not create a pdf

I was happy with Pro XI trial and so purchased the monthly version which I downloaded. But it will not create a PDF. It is unable to find any exisitng document, in word or any other form. I have shut down and restarted.

Thank you so much for your concern. Prashant at the Adobe help got on with me and fixed a problem with my Office suite.

Acrobat X and XI will not print many pdf documents.

Acrobat X and XI will not print many pdf documents. When I click Print, the document fades and I get a dialog box that says "Adobe Acrobat has Stopped Working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I was experiencing this with Acrobat X so I upgraded to XI, but the problem is exactly the same. I am using Windows 7 Professional operating system.

Thank you for your reply. I have several printers available on our network,
the program doesn't even go as far as allowing me to select a printer. I am
trying to print to an HP 1320n or a LANIER MP C5502 PCL 6. I have changed
the default printer, but the result is still the same. In does the same
thing with Adobe (Standard XI) PDF set as the default printer.

Hi David Turner,
What is the exact error message which you are facing while converting the file from .tiff format to PDF format.

Windows 7, Office 2007, Adobe Acrobat cs3 - will not create a .pdf from word doc

I can not create a .PDF file from a 2007 word.docx file. I have tried a few different word docs, including a document I created just to trouble shoot with.
I tried opening the .docx in Word and then going PRINT - ADOBE PDF. When I do this 'nothing' happens. No dialogue box opens, nada.
When I open Adobe Acrobat and try to 'create' I get this error: "Adobe acrobat could not open"name.docx" because it is not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged...".
New Dell, Windows 2007, Adobe Acrobate pro 8 from CS3, Word 2007.

Something to check.
Help > About Adobe Acrobat...
See what dot version is in place.
Support for Office 2007 applications began with Acrobat 8.1; so, you want that or better.
As to Windows 7 — some Adobe information:

--| Adobe does not support Acrobat 8, Adobe Reader 8 or prior versions on Windows 7
and does not plan to release updates to those versions for Windows 7 compatibility.

New computer. Acrobat 7 will not create the pdf maker

Got the file from the [email protected] site as directed by tech support. It loaded and can open pdf files but will not create. When installing it said cannot create the pdf maker.
How can I fix?

Hi ronc638131,
What operating system are you using? I'm guessing that if you have a new computer, you most likely have an operating system that is much newer than Acrobat 7, and on which Acrobat 7 was never tested. Please see the Acrobat system requirements here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-acrobat-family-produ cts.html

My Acrobat XI suddenly will not create a PDF file, but has me select a folder for the file

How do I set my Acrobat XI to create a PDF file. It has me select a folder for the file, but nothing get printed

There are so many ways Acrobat creates a PDF, we need to ask: exactly what steps do you follow, that lead up to this problem? Mac or Windows?

Distiller will not create a .pdf file

Yesterday, I noticed—out-of-the-clear-blue-sky— that whenever I tried distilling a layout file in .eps, I kept getting 'Error' messages whenever I tried Distilling anything and Distiller wouldn't create a .pdf file!
This is what I recieved.
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: MMXPR3 ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Distill Time: 0 seconds (00:00:00)
**** End of Job ****
I even tried using an .eps file that I had created a .pdf file, from Distiller, on the previous day, and that wouldn't work either. So whats going on?
I finally got fed up and just uninstalled Acrobat and Distiller, and reinstalled it, and that didn't work either. My Acrobat also won't manually update now. I keep getting a "Update Internal Error." This also kept happening after I reinstalled it.
I need to use my Distiller in order to get a Press Quality .pdf.
I'm operating on a Mac OS X 10.5.8
I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Sounds like an EPS with preview? Not suitable. Use postscript for printing, not EPS.

Acrobat XI will not create PDF from word for Mac

I'm on a late 2013 macbook air, running Mountain lion, office for mac 20011 and acrobat XI pro. In acrobat, when I go to file, create pdf and navigate to a word doc, acrobat will not creat the pdf. I get an error message that reads someting like "acrobat could not open test.docx because it is not a supported file type." Create pdf works with other file types. I can create PDF by using the Save As in Word, but that is besides the point. I bought Acrobat in order to process many word and excel files into on PDF-file easily and currently that is not possible. Anyone?

This is possible on Windows.

How do I fix this and see the error message when Adobe does not create a pdf from word?

I have a trial version of Adobe X and it will not create a pdf. A short message comes up but disappears before I can see what the problem is. Please help me fix this?

Possibly, though there isn't much to go on. Let's start with the basics.
Can you start the Acrobat application? It will sit there, looking like Adobe Reader or something?
If so, can you open an existing PDF, if you have one?
Ok, now creating a PDF. There are MANY ways to do this, so what steps are you following, and where does it fail?

CS5 will not export to pdf, nor can I delete background tasks to close program

I haven't a clue as to why InDesign CS5 will not create a pdf file from a 12 page document that (to my knowledge) has no errors. This file is of a 12-page advertising catalogue that has already been sent to the printer, so there is nothing wrong with the file.
I want to create a low resolution version of the file for viewing on the web. The request shows up in the Background Tasks, however, nothing is happening. Plus, I cannot delete the background task.
I am using version 7.0 of InDesign CS5 on a Mac Pro Quad Core, running Version 10.6.8 of OS X.
Up until this point I haven't had a problem with InDesign.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Diane

Thank you Peter for your suggestion.
I finally figured out that I was working with a corrupt file. Go figure. No telling how that happened as the last time I worked with the file was when I uploaded it to the printer.
Everything is works perfectly in my InDesign software.
Thank you again for trying to help.
Diane

What to do when file will not convert a PDF to Word "properly"?

Is there anything I can do when a file will not convert from PDF to Word (for editing purposes)?
It converted some of it fine, but most of it is converted into symbols and letters of some text has been changed.

Hi Michelle ,
You can simply edit that file in Acrobat itself .
Or if you could brief us little more about your requirements ,we would be able to assist you intelligently .

Hi Timothy,
The account cannot be validated error was due to a glitch on our activation server that has been fixed now.
Please try using acrobat now and check if you are still facing the problem.

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8, for the simple reason it was
created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
current version for compatibility.
