Acrobat Distiller unable to convert the files to PDF.

Sometimes when I provide multiple files to Adobe Acrobat Distiller to convert them to PDF it opens multiple instances of it which can be seen in the Task Manager but the conversion to PDF stops. The version of Acrobat is 6.0. Could you please suggest me some solution to this issue and it would be better if you also provide me the how acrobat distiller works.

Yes the Distiller is on server so it keeps on running and we see multiple instances of distiller in task manager.
When we add files with intervals or few files then it works fine but when we provide bulk of files it stops converting them to PDF and when we check the task manager we find multiple instances of distiller running.
Then we manually kill the process and then againg the PDF conversion starts normally.

  • Unable to convert text file to PDF

    Hi,
    Using Adobe Pro 9 Distiller on Windows 2008 64bit server. So far using Distiller to convert .eps files to .pdf with Standard job options file. I need to convert a .txt file to .pdf and am not able to convert using any of the OOTB job options settings that came with Distiller product installation.
    Below is the Distiller output when I tried with Standard job options settings
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: MBLDxxxx-03.rpt ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    Can anyone please provide me settings or job options file settings to convert reports in text format to PDF? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the quick response. I was able to generate the PDF using the Adobe PDF writer by opening the text file. Not an issue on 64 bit platform. The .NET application using Distiller to convert eps to PDF via Distiller and moves it over to a watch folder. Another application picks it up and bursts the large PDF to individual PDFs. I need to automatically convert txt to PDF and submit it for burst. Looking for ways to leverage Distiller to automatically convert the txt to PDF. Is it possible? Thanks.

  • I am unable to convert certain files to pdf with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

    I am unable to convert Word & PowerPoint files to pdf.  (I am able to convert image files & excel)
    I have enable macros in Word and still cannot convert the file. 
    I am getting the error popup:
    Unable to open the document
    Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file
    I am running:
    Windows XP Professional Ver 2002 SP 3
    Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
    Microsoft Office 2007

    Open the document in WORD or PPT and print to the Adobe PDF printer. With PPT, you will have to select the fill page option. You may also be able to use PDF Maker in WORD or PPT. From your post I am assuming you are trying to open directly in Acrobat and all of these other things have to be working properly before the latter will work. If they work and you still can not open directly in Acrobat, then try a repair on Acrobat.

  • Unable to  convert the file name in Target directory

    Dear Experts,
    Currently iam facing a problem with some files.my interface is a File to file .As per the interface the sender will pick the flatfiles from source directory which the file name was BNP_NE201.txt once my file reached to target directory the name of the file willrenamed as VENDOR_Payment.NE201 automatically  for this they have done some OS level script in receiver communication channel of the first interface which we have added "un operating system command after message processing" in processing parameters tab.again one more sender comm channel wil pick the file from first target directory which is having naming  convesion of "VENDOR_Payment.NE201 " and post it to target. all the two interfaces are file to file (NFS) . for a parctuclar day files has been posted to 1 st target directory and the receiver communication channel is not yet convert the file names bcz of that the second communication channel can't able to pick the files from target directory. for some times that is working fine and some times it is unable to convert.
    from our side i check every thing .could you please suggest me the way to approch

    You need to wait until the file is converted. After when it is converted then the second interface sender communication channel will pick the files.
    What do u mean by unable to convert?
    Is it unable to do the content conversion? if so then check the data as you said that it sometimes it works fine.
    > The best approach is to change the name of the file in the receiver communciation channel instead of using a script.

  • Distiller won't convert PS file to PDF

    Hi!
    I have problem with making PS into PDF via Distiller9.
    I have made with LEd (LaTeX editor) a file which contains .swf flash animation, but also .eps pictures. This wouldn't be a problem if LEd could compile a PDF that has pictures in it, but it won't. I have to create .ps file and then from .ps -> .pdf via distiller. And that works with pictures, but now I'm getting this error:
    %%[ Error: undefinedfilename; OffendingCommand: file ]%%
    Stack:
    (r)
    (Gibbs.swf)
    {fstream1}
    -mark-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    Is it possible to make it work somehow? Is there some kind of fix or settings I need to adjust?
    I'm working on Windows7, and besides that, I have no other problems...
    If someone can help I'd appreciate it...
    Thanks!!

    That's weird... Everything is in the same folder... Ah, never mind, I have found the solution in the meantime Like with dvips, I have command (which I didn't know I had ) ps2pdf... And everything works there...

    Please confirm whether this is a custom or standard report.
    If this is a custom report, then probably the respective issue has not been handled by exception handling.

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
    Regards,
    Judith.

  • Convert txt file to pdf using Acrobat Distiller

    Hi,
    We purchase years ago Distiller 8.1.0.
    Now, I try to convert txt file to pdf files, but I always get an error.
    Please Help,
    Hezi

    I have important information: Acrobat is not licensed for use server side, so you must not use it to build that solution, even if it is technically possible.
    Adobe's server side PDF creation product is LiveCycle PDF Generator https://www.adobe.com/sea/products/server/pdfgenerator/
    This comes in three editions. The "PostScript" edition is little more than a server-side version of Distiller, and will not convert TXT. However, the other two editions can convert a wide variety of formats.

    Hi Jorg ,
    Are you trying to reduce the file size with the "Reduced size PDF" in the save as other option.
    Give it a try if you haven't done it prior.
    Open that PDF>File>Save as Other>Reduced size PDF.
    If possible ,please share the snapshot of the error message with us so that we can have a look in order to assist you further.

  • I have a Nikon D600 and D800 and I shoot everything in Raw. I use Photoshop Elements 9 for processing but I have been unable to convert any RAW files to open in PSE. Says unable to parse the file. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Since pse 9 can only use up to camera raw 6.5 and the d600 needs at least 7.3 and the d800 needs at least 6.7, you can use the
    8.6 adobe dng converter to convert those files to dng copies, which then pse 9 should open.

    yes, you are right. it is the adobe reader via exportPDF. but it should be the acrobat. it was written on the internetpage...

  • Unable to convert postscript file...

    I can't print a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Mac (OS X 10.9.1). The file sent to print remains stuck in the queue saying "Printing - Unable to convert Postscript file".  My printer is HP OfficeJet 8600 Plus. It seems to be a problem related to Acrobat for Mac only, as I can print the same file with the same printer from Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Windows. All software and drivers involved are updated.  Printing As an Image does the trick, but I am looking for a direct solution if there is one.
    Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

    Trying to print from Quicken running in Win 7 under Parallels.  Seems to function correctly through WIN, but in Mac print queue, generates the error "Unable to Convert Postscript File"  What gives?
    I think Quicken is using their own print library that may be adding artifacts to the postscript code that the Mac printer drivers cannot digest. Or, are you using a printer with postscript level 2 emulation and Quicken is sending postscript level 3 love?
    Current on Parallels and Quicken software updates? Mountain Lion printer drivers for your device?
    What about printing directly to postscript into a shared Mac folder, then opening that file with either Preview (will convert to PDF) or Adobe Reader 10.1.4 on Mountain Lion. You might need latest Ghostscript, Redmon, and CutePDF Writer -- all free on the Win 7 side to direct output to a virtual postscript or PDF printer from within Quicken.
    I looked at the Intuit forums and their are dozens of pages reflecting printer issues with Quicken. This appears to be the application from ****.
    Hope you aren't on the billable clock with these issues.
