Acrobat 9 Standard .ppt/pptx to pdf missing objects after conversion

We have Acrobat 9 Standard fully updated, office 2007 fully updated and patched with the Microsoft pdf converter add-on on XP service pack3
When converting ppt/pptx and doc/docx to pdf some of the pictures and information on the slides are missing. If a completely remove Acrobat and just leave the Microsoft pdf converter on, it is able to convert the files correctly. If I install Acrobat 8 standard it works fine also. The majority of the files that it seems to not be converting and leaving off are .emf and .jpg files. It is not all .emf files just the majority
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Have you tried answering no, then going to Help>Repair and follow up with Help>Updates? A last resort is to uninstall (after deactivation), run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove leftover parts of Acrobat folder, reboot and reinstall. Be sure you have the installation files archived on a CD or backup drive and write the SN on the CD (and previous SN if an update) for future needs.

Acrobat X 600dpi b&w pdf Edit Object fails to load Photoshop

Hello:
Adobe Acobat X correctly loads Photoshop when Edit Object | Edit Image is invoked on a color PDF. But it fails to make the transfer when the pdf is a black and white document image pdf (1 bit per color component). Instead, the error "Touchup cannot complete this operation" pop-up appears.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that Photoshop can't edit black and white images (not 8 bits per color component grayscale, black and white singe bit per color component). Attempting to open the source document with Photoshop shows it is trying to convert it to RGB -- and only offers grayscale lower than that.
Does Edit | Preferences | Touchup need to have a Page/Object editor specified as well, for this type of image? It already has Photoshop as the image editor. Would that be Illustrator (not yet installed on my system)?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, I'm looking into workarounds. But at the moment I'm most interested in the official Adobe answer. This can't possibly be true, that Photoshop can't edit a 1bpp image -- it's an image, just like an 8bpp image. So I don't understand why Touchup doesn't indicate what should be done to edit this image, other than an error intercept.

Users w/least privileges in Acrobat Standard can't create PDF files. Could this be security setting?

Trying to find out where Acrobat stores its temp files while creating/printing a new PDF and if it is possible to tell the program to use another location. My guess, and I could definitely be wrong, is that our Sys Admins have locked users from writing into this temp folder. Additionally security audit logs are filled quickly when users attempt to cut and paste from Acrobat. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

First of all, you should ask your sys admin to not lock this folder. This
can cause a lot of problems with many applications.
The temp folder used by Acrobat is actually not the Windows temp folder,
though, but an internal one, which can be found by executing this code in
the JS console in Acrobat:
app.getPath("user", "temp")
In my case (Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 7), it is:
/C/Users//AppData/Local/Temp/Adobe/Acrobat/11.0
It is possible, though, that applications like Distiller still use the
Windows temp folder for some other tasks.

Placed PDF missing text after re-exporting to PDF

I'm using OSX 10.6 with InDesign CS3 504.
When I place PDFs into an InDesign file, and then PDF that InDesign file, some of the PDFs are missing text. All text boxes have been made from the same original text box, just modified for content, and shape very slightly.
The text that is missing is most often white, where it's being used over the top of black frames. There is one instance of black text over a white frame missing.
I've tried exporting to .inx, and then re-pdfing. I've also tried copying text boxes that are 'working' and changing the content, but still the same text boxes are missing their text.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
Message was edited by: agreen01

i already tried exporting to .inx about 3 hours ago. unfortunately i'm very pressed for time with a meeting in about 1 hour, so i've recreated the problem text boxes. luckily there were only about 10 of them and it only took 10 mins.
before that i tried to isolate the problem element, but couldn't find one. every time i removed something, i still got the problem. the only time i didn't get the problem was when i had just the text boxes on their own, with none of the other essential page elements.
thanks for your help, though.

New Acrobat Pro installed and EVERY PDF file crashes after about 10 seconds. Any Solutions?

I just purchased and installed Acrobat Pro v. 10.1.2 and it seemed to install fine ,but now EVERY ODF crashes after about 10 seconds. Also, I get the Windows "please wait while Windows Configures Acrobat" message every time I launch Acrobat. Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?

Good day,
I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble.
Could you try the following:
Launch Acrobat, but do not open a PDF file.
Choose Edit > Preferences. Click on 'Internet' on the left-hand side.
Uncheck 'Display PDF in Browser'
Relaunch Acrobat - do you still get the 'Please wait while Windows configures Acrobat' message?
If that message has stopped coming up, please try opening a PDF file. Does Acrobat still crash?
Do you have any other versions of Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed on this computer?
What version of Windows do you have installed? What version of Internet Explorer is installed?
Kind regards,

Why lost Missing Files & Missing Albums after conversion to Mac?

I have 2 issues. Firstly, by Reconnecting for Missing Files, the system searches but never finds the photos. Is there another way of reconnecting my Missing Files. These appear to be photos which I enhanced on Elements but saved to My Piictures or photos imported from another camera to my laptop. Secondly, I wanted to transfer all my photos on to a new Mac from my Windows laptop. I have downloaded the Elements to Mac on the Mac but when I backed up all photos to an external hard drive from Windows, then loaded to my Mac, all the photos came across but none of my Albums. Where can I go from here please? Any advice gratefully received. Many thanks.

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your reply. I would appreciate any help you can offer.
I am using PSE 11 and this was installed on my old Windows laptop (which I have been using for a couple of years now) and the Mac version on my new MacBook Pro. Both discs were supplied with the original purchase of Elements 11 but I had not used the Mac version until now.
I loaded the Mac version of Elements to my Mac and this opened just fine but obviously with no photos showing.
I backed up my photos on Elements/Windows on to a new external hard drive, then plugged that hard drive into my Mac. I then transferred my photos from the external hard drive into the Elements on my Mac. All the photos came over but NOT the Albums to which my 10,000 photos had all been allocated in my Windows version.
I know that some 500 photos are "Missing" but I think that this is a different matter (see my original Forum Question log).
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks

Acrobat standard 9.0 error while enabling commets option using Java script object

I'm using the below java script code in my VB 6.0 application for enabling commets options in the PDF file
Dim oJSO As Object
Set oJSO = mPDDoc.GetJSObject
oJSO.Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = True
It is working fine till Acrobat 8.0. Now I'm trying with Acrobat 9.0 standard edition, it is throwing scripting error 'An unhandled Win32 exception occured in Acrobat.exe[308].
Can anyone suggest the way to enable 'comment' options in Acrobat Standard 9.0 using Java Script Object?
Thanks

I get much the same problem with VB6, Acrobat 9 Pro and WinXP SP3. When I single step the line:
oJSO.Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = True
in debug I go to the error handler for my Sub. Inspecting the VB Err object has Number = -2147417851 and Description = "Automation error
The server threw an exception." I get a Microsoft crash notice about Acrobat a short while later.
I've experimented with the JavaScript debugger in Acrobat and you can execute Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = True and reference the value of Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab in the console. The problem appears only when accessing Acrobat Javascript through the Interapplication Communication API.
If anyone can help it would be appreciated. I tried Adobe's Acrobat support and they were no help at all.

Adobe acrobat standard save pdf to jpeg is it possibel?

I have a question about adobe acrobat standard.
can you save pdf to jpeg? or is it just the Pro version that it works on?

Try these steps to see if things are working at all. If they work, then it is a process of going one step at a time until the problem is isolated.
1. Print a simple file to the Adobe PDF printer with print-to-file selected.
2. Open the file created in (1) in Distiller and see if the conversion completes.
If (2) is unsuccessful, you will get errors in the Distiller window indicating the problem. With success, the next step is to check if AcroTray is running, so simply print without using print-to-file. If it does not work, then look for AcroTray.exe in your Distiller folder. This application must be working if the print to Adobe PDF is to work correctly.

Open PDF files in IE by Acrobat Standard 8 instead of Reader

Hi,
I have an issue when I open PDF files in Internet Explorer.
On my computer, Acrobat Reader 7 and Acrobat Standard 8 are installed.
I want that Acrobat Standard 8 opens my PDF files instead of Acrobat Reader 7.
There is 2 conditions : I can't (I mustn't) uninstall Acrobat Reader 7 !
How can I fix it?
Thank you for your help ;o)

Sure, I know that :o)
What I want to do is with Acrobat, not Reader.
In fact, I want to open PDF files with Acrobat in Internet Explorer 6 (now, I can do it) then modify directly any (unprotected) PDF files within IE.

Be sure no aspects of AR7 are running in the background (part of the typical problem). Be sure that AA8 is the default in the selection of PDF files. Last, open AA8 before you start IE. I am not sure these will resolve the issue, but they might be worth a try.

Converting PDFs to Office files - do I need to buy Acrobat Standard/Pro?

Hello,
I have an occasional need to convert PDFs to either Word or Excel. Are there options to do this other than buying Acrobat Standard/Pro? Maybe something like a standalone conversion utility or a conversion on demand service. I would prefer not to shell out a bunch of cash. My wife and son have bled all of that out of me anyways.
Thanks!!!!!
Mike

Yes, there are alternatives. You can subscribe to Adobe's ExportPDF service, for example, which lets you just convert from PDF files to other formats.

Adobe Acrobat Standard XI: Why prompted to save file when nothing changed?

I have Adobe Acrobat Standard as the default PDF reader. I PDF printed a page from a website. Then I clicked to open the PDF. After I finished viewing the file, I closed the window. Adobe Acrobat prompts me to save: Yes, No, Cancel. Since I changed absolutly nothing, I am puzzled why Adobe Acrobat's save dialog thinks there are changes and askes me whether I want to save the changes.
I have repeated opening and closing the PDFseveral times.
Then, I tried opening and closing another PDF, and it just closes without prompting to save.
Why do I get different behaviors on different PDFs? And can I control the behavior to get or not get the save prompt when there are no changes?

I like that Adobe Acrobat will correct problems, then ask you whether to save.
In the case of this file, I click Yes to save. Then the next time I open and close the file, it asks again, and I click Yes to save. Adobe Acrobat always does it with this file.
With another file, Adobe Acrobat (AA) does not prompt, unless I change the file.
I don't know which difference matters. AA created both PDFs. The problem file was a print from a webpage. The good file (that closes without prompting) was created from a scanner.
I tried PDF printing this page (i.e. the page on which I am composing my response to your message). Then, I opened and closed the PDF, and was prompted to save.
Seems like if AA corrected the problem, and I saved, AA should not have to correct the problem again (if that is what's happening). Also, if AA made the PDF in the first place, there should be no problems with the PDFto correct.
You know what? I just tried printing another website and same prompting everytime I close.
I've been using Chrome. I tried printing with Internet Explorer, and no problem of prompting when closing.
Hmm. I just tried PDF printing from FireFox. No problem here either.
Well, Now I suppose I just leave it for Google and Adobe to work out, if they care to.
I just tried opening the problem file in AA and PDF printing from it. This seems to have cleaned the file. The second PDF file has no problem opening and closing.
I've got an idea. I just went to the address bar in Chrome and typed "Chrome://plugins". That's the only way I know to get to the Chrome plugins. I saw that I have BOTH the Chrome built-in PDF Reader AND the Adobe Create plugins enabled. I disabled the Chrome PDF Reader so ONLY the Adobe Create plugin is enabled.
I printed this webpage again (the webpage you are reading). This time, there was no problem opening and closing the PDF, no prompts to save.
However, now online PDFs will not display in Chrome. Instead, Chrome offers to download the PDF.
I went back to the plugins and found Adobe Reader disabled. I enabled Adobe Reader so now I have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Create plugins enabled.
The problem came back.
I don't know who would fix this, Adobe or Chrome, but would be nice to "have my cake and eat it, too" meaning, not have to muck with the plugins to AA-print clean PDFs from Chrome, and then muck again with the plugins to display PDFs in Chrome.
I tried FireFox. Displays PDFs, and AA-prints PDFs that are clean (i.e. no prompt on closing from AA).
Well, that is enough (maybe more than enough) from me on this. I'll monitor this discussion in case anyone comments.

Why am I asked to subscribe to ExportPDF? I have Acrobat Standard.

Hi, I purchased the Adobe Acrobat XI Standard to I be capable of export pdf files into word / excel files and now tha Adobe is inquiring me to purchase another signature. Can I export pdf files with the Acrobat XI Standard? If not I would like to cancel my purchase and be refunded of the amount paid, please. My inquiry number is AD003280527BR
Regards,

Hi palomacortez,
With Acrobat Standard, you can save PDF files to Word and Excel format. Choose File > Save As > Microsoft Word > Word Document, or File > Save As > Spreadsheet > Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet. There's no need to purchase an ExportPDF subscription.
It sounds to me that you may actually have your PDF file open in Reader (and not Acrobat), which is why you're being asked to subscribe. Did you download and install Acrobat Standard after you purchased your subscription?
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How do I install the PDF printer in Acrobat Standard 10.1.12??

Updated to Acrobat Standard 10.1.12 a week ago and noticed that no PDF printer was installed. How do I install the PDF printer??

Sara,
Yes I’m running Windows 7 (64-bit). I went to the web site and followed the Add Printer instructions. I tried all of the Adobe PDF Converters and I got either one or the other of the two messages in the attached file. I appreciate your help and hope you’ve got other ideas. By the way, I’ve already completely un-installed Acrobat Standard X and reinstalled. No joy. When I got this PC I had to install this version of Acrobat on the machine and I had no problems like this. I have also applied several updates to my original version of Acrobat Standard X and I never had this issue. This issue just came about when I applied the 10.1.12 update. But the un-install and re-install has not fixed the PDF printer issue.
So, hope you’ve got some other magic. It does seem like some needed Adobe software is missing or there is something else on my machine that is impacting the proper installation of the Adobe software pieces (or not allowing some pieces to install).
Thanks for your help,
Nick
