Acrobat 9 adding odd spaces in words when creating PDF

In the process of creating a PDF from a document using Acrobat 9 Standard AND Pro, extra spaces are being inserted into the text.
I have searched everywhere for a solution. Anything I found indicated fonts should be embedded. That's not a solution as we embed all fonts used in a document. Technical notes:
using File > Print and selecting Adobe PDF as printer
job options customized to embed all fonts used in document
use of Acrobat 9 Standard and Pro - happening with both versions
no consistency in the "error" - one PDF creation of the document is mangled, then one creation of the same document is fine
Samples attached.
Help!

We are using Adobe FrameMaker 8.0.
Save as PDF allows us to use our job options, so we felt it wasn't any different than doing a print - are we wrong?
Create PDF not an option available with Frame docs.
Re: software conflict, could having Reader installed on our systems (Windows Vista Enterprise) provide conflict? We haven't received any sort of error messages, etc.

  • Acrobat distiller keeps on quitting when creating pdf

    Hi there, my Acrobat distiller 10 in OS X Mountain Lion keeps on quitting when creating pdf. Please help.

    Hello,
    1. Please try updating the Acrobat to 10.1.10 and then check the issue.
    2. Go to Settings -> Font Locations. You'll see a list of sources that Distiller gets its fonts from. Make sure that the paths actually exist, delete them if they don't.
    3. Try with different joboptions.

  • Is it possible to add and view your key words when creating a web site from Lightroom 4?

    Is it possible to add and view your key words when creating a web site from Lightroom 4?

    Hi,
    I had the same problem with
    "java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientimpl.html.uielib.standard.uradapter.ViewContainerUIElementAdapter.getContent(ViewContainerUIElementAdapter.java:98)"
    when I included ViewUsages dynamically in an action handler (outside wdDoInit()).
    The code below fixed that problem.
    This code creates a new OutboundPlug for the embedding view with the embedded view as target and fires the plug.
    <i>// Create OutboundPlug
    IWDOutboundPlugInfo outboundPlug = embedderViewInfo.createOutboundPlug();
    //Create navigation link
    rootViewUsage.createNavigationTarget(outboundPlug.getName(), interfaceViewUsage, "Default");
    // fire navigation link
    wdThis.wdGetAPI().firePlug(outboundPlug, Collections.EMPTY_MAP);
    </i>
    I hope I could help you. Probably you don't need the information anymore, but perhaps anybody else has the same problem.

  • [AS][INDCC] How to set Color Conversion field to No Color Conversion when creating PDF Export preset

    How can i set Color Conversion field in Export to PDF dialog to No Color Conversion when creating PDF Export preset? i have done a bit of searching and have found where it has been recommended to set effective pdf destination profile to use no profile but it doesn't seem to be producting the expected results.

    Yes, it seems that i had to make the change after creation, not while creating the preset. thank you.

  • Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's

    Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's. Where can I downlaod it and why is it suddenly happening?

    OS? Version of ID?
    This means that either you have an extra Helvetica Medium font installed and it's interfering with ID finding the T1 version, or the T1 version is damaged. I found this really old thread that explains it fairly well: http://www.asadesigner.com/22-indesign/2d812de56777cc90.htm
    The good news is that it's probably only affecting the page information marks.

  • Acrobat distiller won't open file from word to create pdf

    I can choose acrobat from word and print pdf -- but acrobat pro 9 gives me an error message when I try to select a file from word to create a pdf. I can print acrobat from word but not from acrobat
    The error message just says can't open, check if you have read permissions for this file.  I've been doing this, but now it won't select a file from word.
    Thanks.

    Sorry Bill, It's Word 7.  I can create an acrobat pdf by choosing it when I print in word but if I try to create a pdf from acrobat - from the file - it won't work.  I get the same error.  Can't open  do you have read priviledges.  Not sure what that is or if there is a setting someplace that got checked or unchecked.
    Thanks.

  • Corrupt image formatting when creating pdf from embedded visio image in MS word

    Hello, Using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard and trying to create a PDF file from an MS word (version 2003) document.  PDF file created is fine except for an image (embedded visio diagram imported into word).  When created in PDF, the image is missing many of the diagram labels, and other text boxes are in the wrong font and wrong location.  I don't know if it's my Adobe Acrobat or MS Word settings that need to be updated.
    thanks, NB

    Dear fellows,
    the problem is still present.  My system:Windows 7 32-Bit Prof, MS Office 2010 Prof, Acrobat X Pro 10.1.1, Vision 2010 Prof, all updates installed.
    Problem #1: Even the latest Acrobat X 10.1.1 version causes Visio 2010 to start with error messages, origin: the Acrobat Add-In.  Therefore I de-activated the Acrobat Add-In, again, as in the past.
    As I design grafics with Visio 2010, I mark them in the active Visio window, copy the marked parts and then insert them into my Word-Document.  So far, so good and as I want it.
    The (still present) problem: I can produce a PDF file using the "save as Adobe PDF", but the Visio drawing is incomplete and corrupt.  E.g. arrows as line endings have disappeared.
    PS: But using Adobes PDF printer sets the embedded Visio drawing correctly!  But using the printer one looses some features of the "save as Adobe PDF" command.
    Well, probably one day ...
    Regards,
    Rückenlehne.

  • Adding definitions to Specific Words within a PDF file

    I have a client who wants me to add definitions to Glossary words throughout a PDF file. They want it to look like a "roll over" or when you click on the glossary word a definition pops up. Is there a way to do this in Acrobat 9 or it can't be done?

    You can achieve this with one of my custom-made tools:
    http://try67.blogspot.com/2008/11/acrobat-highlight-all-instances-of.html
    If you set the comment color to "Transparent", it will act just like a pop-up that shows when you hover with the mouse over the text.

  • How to get acrobat XI trial to convert a word document to PDF without getting error message

    I downloaded a trail version of acrobat XI to try converting some word 10 doc to a PDF I keep getting "Unable to open document;" when I right click and get the drop down menu. I have been unable to get the adobe tab to appear ether as a tab or in the Add-In tab.
    I have Visual C++ 2010 will reinstall if it is need.

    I think on this occasion the problem is not PDF to Word, but Word to PDF.
    It seems that Acrobat is not integrated in Word. Until it is, no method of conversion will work.
    So, second question is which version of Word (as well as, which OS as Bill@VT asked)?

  • Acrobat 8.1 Crashing when creating PDF from webpage

    www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/910569/000091056909000016/form6-k15june09.htm
    I have been trying to create a PDF from the above URL using Acrobat 8.1 using the "Create PDF from Web Page" function.  The Download Status form opens and shows the progress as files are downloaded and converted.  However Acrobat 8.1 always crashes before completing the task.  Acrobat 5.0 successfully completes the task although the formatting leaves a lot to be desired but that's another issue.
    I've tried various values for settings such as processing 1 level or getting entire site but the crash is consistent.
    I have also tried a couple of other machines in the office with the same crashed result.
    Can anybody suggest why Acrobat 8.1 would fail to render this URL into a PDF and what would cause it to crash so consistently?  Is there an alternate method of creating a PDF from this URL aside from loading it into Word and printing to a PDF?
    Any clues appreciated!

    The problem is likely that the web page does not conform to standard HTML. AA8 crashed on me also. You can print the file from your browser. The only thing that would be missing would be the 3 links near the bottom and they are easy to add.

  • Acrobat 9 Quits When Create PDF from Scanner Selected

    Hi. I wonder if anyone can advise please.
    I have recently installed Acrobat 9 on my MacBook Pro and have plenty of RAM. However, I can "Create PDF from Scanner" just the once. After that, Acrobat quits when I select Scan or quits if I cancel the scan.
    I have tried the following:
    1. Troubleshoot System Errors & Freezes
    2. New User account
    3. Recreated Preferences
    4. Booted from separate disk
    5. Repaired disk permissions
    6. Have no third party plug-ins installed
    7. Have run Repair Acrobat
    8. Changed Universal Access
    9. Defragmented disk & repaired files
    10. Safe Boot and reinstall Acrobat
    Nothing has worked except when I clean install I can scan through Acrobat once.
    I can scan from the scanner software - Lexmark 4850 - with a jpeg straight to Acrobat but want to try to solve the issue of scanning straight from the app.
    Thanks for your help people.
    Regards
    Paul

    After I discovered my problem of quitting after completing the scan of the first side of a 2-sided document and decided to go to Adobe for help, I should have known I was in real trouble after following their instructions for locating the Acrobat serial number. After bringing up the splash screen and clicking on it, instead of seeing the number the splash screen disappeared! So I had no option but to use the phone. Then their help person couldn't give me the serial number- he had to transfer me- and I chose to stay with him for help instead. He decided it was a conflict between the Acrobat & HP software and ended the help session.
    I then did some on-line research and discovered others with the same problem, and came up with the comparison test with the Windows version. Adobe's phone system didn't recognize my Case #, but the second Help person said it worked fine. At that point, I got the feeling that I was in real trouble. After another hour going over the same ground and repeated denials that their software was at fault, the Helper refused my request that they do a Windows comparison test or send me a Windows version to test myself and promised to call me back with results of their "research". That call never came.
    On the third call, again with the Case # unrecognized by the phone system, the Helper was even more unhelpful, probably after reading the record of the first two calls. He insisted on going back to the machine and over the same ground once again, and I ended the call.
    I agree that the on line approach is better, and I may have to make a double call to get the serial number (neither of the two I have, each different on the case or on the CD worked) and try that if my request for a supervisor fails. Fortunately they are so incompetent that they can't track starting over.
    I'm not a programmer, but have lots of varying experience with computers dating back to the first Atari-400. Since your Acrobat uses only the Twain driver component from your scanner software, the first place to look for a problem is in the Acrobat software, especially since the software doesn't run again after the first use without reinstalling, and the scanner continues to perform properly using it's installed software. The Windows comparison test such as Tim Whitfield was able to make, would clearly establish the Mac version of the Acrobat software to be at fault, but would still not resolve our problems. Unfortunately I hold out little hope for either you or I with Adobe, since neither their phone nor the online help has come up with a prior fix. This indicates a bug fix requirement, which for something like this looks to be a relatively long time in coming.

  • Acrobat Pro XI V11.0.2 - Word 2010 to PDF conversion fails to generate header text

    Hello,
    Following the recent update to V11.0.2, the Acrobat PDF converter for Word 2010 fails to generate the output document correctly. It misses out the text box part of the Word header.
    However, using Acrobat XI via the "Print to PDF printer" appears to generate the output file correctly.
    System is Windows XP-SP3 with Office 2010 (and all current updates), plus Acrobat Pro V11.0.2
    Example Word source and resulting PDF are available, if anyone can figure out how to use this web interface to post examples.
    Colin Butcher.

    Hello,
    No, there is no change in behaviour on my Windows XP machines, nor would I expect there to be given that there has been no change until V11.0.3 was released.
    Given that you’ve reproduced the problem, albeit on a different machine, it seems reasonable to assume that the problem is related to Acrobat. If you can reproduce the behaviour, then you should be able to fix it.
    The problem still exists with V11.0.3. I look forward to it being resolved shortly.
    Colin.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9.3 Crashes when creating PDF

    I have started having a problem with Acrobat Pro crashing every time I try and create a PDF from a file or webpage. I have not found this on the forums previously and was curous as to what may be causing the issue. I have been doing regular updates to my Adobe products as well as the Microsoft OS and applications. I presume it to be related to an update, since I do not remember this being an issue previously,  but I am not sure which one it could be.
    Has anyone had this issue occur and how was it resolved, save rolling back to a restore point.

    i would suggest a de-installation of Acrobat 9. Run Microsoft Installer Cleanup to remove any dregs left in the Registry. Disconnect computer from the web, turn off all virus and spyware protection. Then re-install.
