Acrobat Distiller not working

I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.5 and am using Acrobat 7.0 Professional. Since upgrading, a great majority of the files I try to convert to ps are not converting (a vast variety of error messages) and therefore cannot create a pdf file using this method. None of my settings have been changed. I am wondering if Acrobat 7 compatible with OS 10.5 and is there a way to work around this? Acrobat 6 Professional works just fine with the new system.

Acrobat 7 is not compatible with 10.5. In fact neither is 8, you need to
upgrade to 8.1 for some level of compatibility.

Acrobat 7 not working

work since acrobat loaded automatical to my desk top

I had not thought of that. I will try to install it using compatibility mode on one of our systems and see if that solves the problem.
Thank you very much.

Hi t0m#2410,
How did you install Acrobat, did you install it as a part of Suite installation.
If it is a part of suite then deactivate suite uninstall Acrobat, Reinstall Acrobat using Suite media. Launch Photoshop first and Activate.
Then try launch Acrobat.

Acrobat Distiller NOT Opening...

Hello,
I had Acrobat 9 Extended, the distiller of which used to work, then i downloaded the new version of Acrobat 9 Extended and installed and deleted the last one. Now the new Distiller Does NOT Run/Crashes on Runing, and thus the Adobe PDF printer does not work either, starts printing and stops in the half for every file, progress says stopped. There are distiller updates on adobe's site but not for the english version. Acrobat updates haven't been much of a help either.
Any solutions, Please help.

I don't understand having AA9Ext and then downloading the new version, deleting, and installing. This is not part of the Acrobat installation and update workflow. Do you mean you are using the trial version? That may be the problem. If you were using the trial version, once the trial runs out you have to purchase it to use it anymore. Deleting and reinstalling does not do the job; purchasing does the job.

Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

Hello:
I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
Many thanks.

Adobe Clip Notes in Acrobat Reader Not Working

I am having an issue with acrobat reader not processing the clip notes correctly. In Acrobat Reader 9.1 the clip notes do not process and save with the time line. All notes are placed in one box and are not saved intividually with the time line code. The export option button is there but does not work. This is happening not only for my customer but for me as well using a computer with only Acrobat Reader installed.. (9.1)
So there seems to be an issue with Acrobat Reader and clip notes... It works fine on my system with Acrobat Pro installed but from my understaning, it should work with Acrobat Reader as well..
Any help would be appreciated.. I lost my connection to support.. I was on the phone and it went dead and no one has called back yet..
I am using all CS4 producst (Master Collection) So this is being exported to .pdf by Premier Pro CS4

I am having this problem with a slew of users as well. I have followed all of the steps in Adobe KB article 405461 and while one solution in this resolve the problem (using reader as a helper program instead of opening PDF files directly within the browser) with the error message it caused problems with other web applications that we use. Has anyone else figured out how to get Adobe reader to work within IE? I have to think there was something included in the last batch of Windows Updates because it was working fine prior to that.
Thanks.

Adobe Acrobat Distiller not correctly installed

Adobe Acrobat 9.0.0, OS 01.5.4
When I try to print from "Tex-Edit Plus.app 4.9.8" using the
Adobe PDF 9.0 printer I get a request to find "Adobe Acrobat

I'm then given a window to select from but "Acrobat
Distiller.app" is grayed out, NOTE different name.
I have run the "Repair" function.

Printing with overprints in Acrobat X not working-

I have been trying to print PDFs to a laser printer trying to get Overprints to show up as they do in the PDF with the overprint preview on. I ended up opening them in Acrobat 9 and printing to image. This was what I used to do in Acrobat 9 to get the overprints to show up on my print outs. This seems to no longer work in Acrobat X. As much as I tried I could not get the PDF to print as shown when the overprint preview was turned on using the Advanced > Print as Image checked in the print dialog.
What is the deal with Acrobat X? What am I missing? Did Adobe do this to make life hard for all users of previous versions of Acrobat? It worked then and not now what's different?!?

Some laser printers have a setting, usually under "Advanced" called Simulate Overprinting. That works for me without printing as an image.

Acrobat Pro not working in Office Word 2003

Hi!
Im having troubles with my Acrobat Pro 9.0 in office 2003.
The Acroat plugins in word are not working, the "acrobat-PDF" button is not working at all, when i select or press something in the dropdown menu nothing happens. the workaround on saving my files is to go to File > print as a PDF document.
After i finish typing my document and add a few links to webpages and "mailto" links and save/print it to a PDF file, some of the links work and other dont.
So does anyone know how i can get all my links to work? or even be able to use the "acrobat plugin/buttons" in the word program?
The guy on suport phone told me its a setting problem that needs to be adjusted.
TY in advance / Nkla

Nikola,
Have you checked the properties of the Adobe PDF printer in your Printers and Faxes menu? You may need to make some changes regarding the settings here.

Can't get acrobat distiller to work.

Hi, I am at a loss and hope someone can help me.
I'm running windows xp, and am having problems with acrobat distiller, adobe acrobat 5.0.
I'm in charge of making a club newsletter in PowerPoint, and all that goes fine. I'm putting really good quality photo's in it and thats all ok too. But when I convert the document to a PDF with Primo (to view in adobe acrobat), everything else works fine, but all the images go really fuzzy, like a terribly poor quality photo.
I thought primo was connected with adobe, but have since been told that it isn't, and I need to use acrobat distiller (which is in my printers list), however, it doesn't work. It just says straight away that it failed to print
If I click 'find printer' it says the directory service is unavailable.
I've tried everything I can think of.
Please, any help greatly apprciated.
Thanks in advance.

Acrobat does not work after one month

Recently I reinstalled OS in my computer, of course with installation of Adobe CS6. and the acrobat stopped to work after about one month while photoshop and others work as usual. I would sincerely appreciate if someone could tell me how to fix it.

Hey claudes1837819,
Could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
For Windows, you might refer the KB doc link mentioned below:
Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite
Hope to hear from you.

Distiller not working

Does anyone out there have any idea what's going on here?
I am using Mac OS X Version 10.4.10 and have the usual Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional package installed. Others here use the same package without problems.
Acrobat works perfectly, but Distiller has always refused to work on my machine. It just quits every time I try to start it. This means that when I want to distill a file I have to go onto someone else's machine to do it.
I have repeatedly tried chucking out my copy of Distiller and taking in another from other machines, but I always get the same message: "The application Distiller quit unexpectedly."
I am getting tired of having to use other people's machines, so I would like to know why Distiller doesn't work on mine.
Advice, please?

When I save the pdf from Illustrator I get much heavier files than when using Distiller. This process also tends to split placed images, producing (sometimes printable) white lines. Normally what I do is to save the Illustrator file as EPS and then distill. This saves me the trouble of setting the artboard to fit its content and almost always alleviates the white line problem.
(No-one seems to know why Acrobat has this tendency to split images - it makes no difference whether images are linked or embedded. I have often asked about it but have not received an explanation as to the logic behind image-splitting process. It is inconsistent; sometimes you get it, sometimes not. And why is a split image with all its clipping masks lighter than a whole unsplit image? Strikes me that there's something wrong with the way the application is written because those white lines have caused endless headaches at the printers. I often resort to sending EPS files rather than Acrobat, despite their weight.)
In an example that I just tested I had an Illustrator file of 348 KB containing vector art only.
This produced an EPS of 980 KB.
Distilling this I got a pdf of 196 KB.
Saving out of Illustrator using the same settings as I used for Distiller I got a pdf of 472 KB.

Acrobat Pro Not Working after Latest Update to Snow Leopard

After getting the latest update for Snow Leopard I get the following when Acrobat tries to boot:
Process:         AdobeAcrobat [157]
Path:            /Applications/Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/AdobeAcrobat

There is more after this but the summary is that it doesn't boot. Is anyone having this problem also? And if so how did you fix it.? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat but with no success.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply. However how can you upgrade when the program won't boot? I tried downloading again from Adobe but the version that comes over is 9.0. Is there anyway to force a load? Or anyway for Adobe to push me 9.3.1?
Regards,
David
First try removing preference and or .plist files for Acrobat. Then when you get working try this tip below that might help when you update the application and it fails.
I've come across this in these forums That may or may not solve the update issue for "some" people:

Acrobat printer not working

I have Acrobat Pro Vers 9..2 installed onto a Windows XP platform.
When selecting the print option from any application (eg Word)
Adobe PDF appears in the list of avavilable printers, however
when it's selected the "print" command button is then disabled.
So the pdf 'printer' appears to be installed but the 'print' command
can't be selected.
Other printers (laserjet etc) that are installed
all work fine - it's only the pdf file I can't print...
Any help appreciated. Thank-you.

Thanks for the input!
The upgrade to 8.1.6 did solve the problem. Acrobat still works poorly, but at least the PDF Maker works quite fine.
Nevertheless, it's really too bad that Adobe requires you to purchase a full (and considerably expensive) upgrade for Win7 support. Adobe 8 is not that old so that it would require updating.

Acrobat v8 not working

We are using Version Cue CS3 and everything is working great except for Acrobat 8. When we are using the Adobe Dialog box in Acrobat the Cue does not display any Projects. I do have Version Cue turned on in the preferences. The VC icon displays, but no project displayed. All other CS3 apps are working fine, Indesign, Photoshop, etc...
Am I missing something? is there another button I'm suppose to have turned on?

Unfortunately, complete removal via uninstaller still alludes the world of Reader on the Mac
I understand. It's for that reason I use PDF Browser Plug-in. Unfortunately, it's not Universal. When it eventually goes Intel native, I encourage you to consider using it.
Happy Holidays
