Acrobat pdf 9.0 has stopped working

Hi
I recently upgraded to CS4 and Quark 8.
Yesterday my Q8 files were happily printing out using Acrobat pdf 9 (and had resolved an irritation in 8 where no files including the character '/' would print).
Today every file I try to print gets stopped in the printer queue and can't be restarted.
I've called tech advice,been referred to article KB403918, have chucked the preferences, repaired permissions etc etc. But still no luck.
Any suggestions?

Follow Torben Directions to see if you can create a PDF, first
But you don't Just have an Acrobat Problem.
Do the following:
Go to Printer Utility and remove any and all versions of Adobe PDF, from list. Quit Printer Utility
Now open your newest version of Acrobat you have installed (all older versions will work with the newest PDF Print Driver, but not the reverse.
Now open Acrobat ang to help menu and choose Repair and Replace. when open uncheck everything except Adobe PDF.
once repaired go back to Printer Utility and verify adobe PDF has been added. Quit printer Utility
Now try creating a PDF.
As for Word if you have 2008 (don't uninstall Word2004), It has its own PDF Converter now. Go to Save As... and choose PDF from list .
BTW: Word 2008 is now up to 12.2.1 version and Word 2004 is now up to 11.5.9

Finding text in a PDF using preview has stopped working (correctly)

Finding text in a PDF using preview has stopped working (correctly).
When I search for certain words in a PDF using preview, it correctly finds all the pages in the document with that word. However, it no longer highlights the word being searched for. I have looked through the various settings and cannot figure out how to turn this back on.
Thanks.

4Shared worked, but having to register to retrieve files from there is a nuisance.
The problem is that you use special graphic state operators inside text objects which is not allowed:

Have a look at the PDF specification ISO 32000-1:2008 (e.g. at http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf). Table 51 shows that q, Q, and cm are special graphics state operators, and Figure 9 illustrates that these operators, therefore, are not allowed in text objects, i.e. between BT and ET.

PDF thumbnail generation has stopped working

Hello Together,
formerly I was using Adobe Reader X at an actual Patch Level on a 64 Bit Windows 7 system. At that time PDF thumbnails were no subject for me. Now I've upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X Pro and uninstalled Adobe Reader X. Then I wanted to use the thumbnails. That was no problem as I found a link to a tool which fixed my issue: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/305220
Everything worked fine for me, until I noticed that one of my applications needed an installed Adobe Reader to work properly. So I reinstalled the Adobe Reader on my system again. This caused to stop the thumbnail generation: PDF files which existed prior to the Adobe Reader installation still have a thumbmail icon preview, but those who were generated after the installation still appear as a PDF icon.
Before installation the fix from thread 305220 my workaround was to open Acrobat X, the navigate to the open dialog, moving to the folder with the PDFs within and wait that Acrobat finished the thumbnail generation. But this workaround now is out of service, too. So my assumption is, that reinstalling Adobe Reader screwed up something in my Adobe installation which I cannot find at the moment which has nothing to do with the initial problem with displaying thumbnails.
Performing some repair installation didn't help:
   (1) repair Adobe Reader, then repair Adobe Acrobat --> no change
   (2) repair Adobe Acrobat, then repair Adobe Reader --> no change
   (3) repair Adobe Reader only --> no change
   (4) repair Adobe Acrobat only --> no change
   (1), then apply fix from thread 305220 --> no change
   (2), then apply fix from thread 305220 --> no change
   (3), then apply fix from thread 305220 --> no change
   (4), then apply fix from thread 305220 --> no change
   apply fix from thread 305220, then (1) --> no change
   apply fix from thread 305220, then (2) --> no change
   apply fix from thread 305220, then (3) --> no change
   apply fix from thread 305220, then (4) --> no change
I hope, that I'm not the only one who got this problem and, hopefully, someone found a solution for this.

Did you at least download & read the user manual?
You can always call Apple Care if you are still under warranty. Otherwise, take your iPod to an Apple Store or an AASP.

Adobe Acrobat 9.5 (standard) has stopped working

Acrobat has always been prone to crashing on my various Windows computers throughout the years, and my current version 9.5 standard on Windows 7 64-bit is no exception. Crashes usually occur when extracting and/or deleting pages. With my almost total loss of income, in this great recession, the $199 upgrade fee for version X is well beyond my means for the foreseeable future. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this expensive software more reliable and less prone to crashing?

Yes, of course, it's up to date. I first tried the "repair" option. It froze (wouldn't go through the whole repair process) and I had to CTRL-ALT-DEL to kill it with Task Manager.
Then, it thought it hadn't finished the install so it tried to finish when I re-booted and froze again....
So, I tried to UNINSTALL it, and the stupid installer froze too.
I tried installing it again from the disk...same thing, hangs up half way through the install.
But, if I try and print a document using Adobe pdf, that works, and launches Adobe Pro 9 and I can use it so at least I have a work around until I can waste more time figuring out how to get this working so I can launch Adobe 9 Pro directly.

I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

Provide you have Acrobat 9 installed in an OS for which Acrobat 9 is compatible then you can use the functionality.
As well, you need a scanner connected, powered up, and the software installed. Acrobat 9 "prefers" TWAIN drivers.
Always visit the scanner vendor's site and download - install the latest greatest software.
n.b., The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
As well the Acrobat 9.x product family is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
Be well...

I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro. The application keeps timing out and at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes. The document is 275 pages. Is there something I can do to stop this?

Hi Ricci,
Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?

How do I fix: "Adobe acrobat 9.5 has stopped working"

Whenever I try to open a file using Adobe Acrobat 9.5, I get the message: "Adobe acrobat 9.5 has stopped working" "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program". Acrobat reader 9.5 appears to work fine. I am also having problems when opening PDF files from the internet using Internet Explorer. If I try to open a PDF file with Internet Explorer I get and error message Box which says: "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library - Runtimr Error! - Program: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe - R6034 - An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. - Please contact the application's support team for more information." Then when I click OK, I get the following in IE: "Interner Explorer has closed this web page to help protect your computer - A malfaunction or malicious add-on has cause Internet Explorer to close this webpage. - More Information - Windows Data Execution Prevention detected an add-on trying to use system memory incorrectly. This can be caused by a malfunction or a malicious add-on. Other things you can do: Go online to learn about the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) security feature". I am running Windows 7 Pro version 6.1 (Build 7601, Service pack 1) and Internet Explorer 8 version8.0.7601.17514 and Adobe Acrobat 9.5 Standard. I would give you the version but I can't keep the program open long enough to check that. Please HELP I need Acrobat working on this computer.

Reader is not Acrobat, but I got the gist. To try to resolve the issue, open Acrobat and go to Help>Repair. Hopefully that will fix the problem.
The C++ library sometimes gets messed up and has to be reloaded. That would have to be done by way of MS.
After the repair, I would strongly recommend going back to Help>Check for Updates and install updates in order. Since you did not mention updates, I suspect you are running 9.0.0. Also, you did not mention your OS level as 32 or 64-bit. If it is a 64-bit system, you need to run the updates for AA9 to work properly.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro - Error Message : "Adobe Acrobat Has Stopped Working"

I use Windows 7 - 64bit / CS6 Master Collection that has Adobe Acrobat x Pro.
When the computer is on for a little while, Acrobat would generate the error message that it has stopped working and then shuts down. Once that error message occurs, I cannot get Acrobat to stay open. It opens the PDF document, stays open for a few seconds then the error message occurs and it shuts down.
What helps for a short term is to restart the computer. This seems to temporarily remove the error until the computer is on for a while then the error returns.
This problem repeats. Product repair feature does not work. This has nothing to do with the license, I tried that fix and it made no differnce. I do not have this issue with other Adobe products included in the master collection.
It seems fruitless and frustrating to send a message to Adobe Support, the run around with pages and links is like smacking walls on every turn, it is obvious Adobe does not want people contacting their support. Service from Adobe for their products is poor.
I hope that someone here has the answer to the problem. Anyone?

Ok, here is the update.
The link: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html , leads to a webpage that says to download a fix ZIP file named: "Acrofix.ZIP". It contains the file "acrofix.exe".
I did use this "exe" file about 2 months ago and it did nothing to fix the issue. I used it again today, because the same issue of "Adobe Acorbat has stopped working", occurred again and again it did not work, the problem of "Adobe Acrobat stopped working" presists. Again the only work around, which is temporary, is to reboot the computer.
So far these do not work:
Relicensing or Registering the Licence
Acrofix.exe
Anyone else have an answer? - or am I the only one suffering this really annoying issue?

Acrobat Distiller has stopped working (not 30 day issue)

I've been running CS6 on my Windows 7, 64 bit machine since at least October. I had the 30 day issue at the 30 day mark, but resolved it and it's worked flawlessly for months after that. Now, I get an error message that says Acrobat Distiller has stopped working. My only option is to close that window. Acrobat continues to work to read, edit and save an already created PDFs. Here are where I experience errors.
I can create a new PDF within Acrobat. If I click "Create PDF" then choose a Word Doc, it gives me at least two times the error message that Acrobat Distiller has stopped working. If I keep closing that message, eventually the pdf will have been created and will be in the Acrobat window and the file will be saved.
I can't print to PDF at all. When I try from within Acrobat, I see a little window that says it's checking fonts, then the Distiller stopped working error message. When I try printing to pdf from other programs (have tried Word, Firefox), crashes. It could be a one page document with just text, or something with pictures - no go. I just tested it again - now Acrobat is not responding. I can't end the Acrobat process - have tried closing the window, and saying end process, tried ending Acrobat from within task manager, tried ending the acrobat and acrotray processes - multiple times in Task Manager and Acrobat won't close.
I don't know how to fix this. I've checked to make sure Acrobat was updated; I've updated my Windows; I've reinstalled Acrobat. Nothing fixes it.
When I run Acrobat Distiller, it freezes seemingly in the midst of checking fonts.   Here is the text of the problem details section of the error message I get:
Problem Event Name:    InPageError
Error Status Code:    c000009c

I think I may have fixed my problem... I am no longer seeing the Distiller stopped working pop up and I am now able to print to PDF
Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit
My Fonts and program are all installed on the same drive thus preventing me from gaining access to Distiller to change the settings. Windows would not let me make any changes to the Default Font folder.
This is what I did...
Not knowing which font(s) where causing the problem, I moved all but protected fonts (automatically labelled) from the Window's Font folder and placed them in a temporary folder.
I restarted Distiller DC and great news...the program did not crash and I was able to change the settings to temporarily not include the Windows Fonts .No more pop ups and I can now print to PDF!
What I am going to do..
Through the process of elimination, I will gradually restore the fonts I removed from from the Window's folder to find the culprits(s)
Once I am satisfied that the problem Font(s) are found and no longer included in the Window's Font folder, I will change the settings in Distiller back (permanently) to include the Window's Font folder.
In closing, and because so many others are having the same issues, I really do think it would be prudent for Adobe to make the necessary adjustments to their program(s) to prevent this kind of issue.
Thanks

Licensing for this product has stopped working - Acrobat 9 Pro Trial Edition

Before committing to purchase of 50 licenses for the office, I though I'd better make sure Acrobat 9 Pro works on my laptop. Nyet
I am totally frustrated by spending 20 minutes installing the package, only to get a "licensing for this product has stopped working" "You cannon use this product at this time"
I've reinstalled - twice
I've followed instructions relative to Flexnet service.
Anyone have a do this and Acrobat 9 will work list of instructions - preferably something that will work in a batch file since I don't want to spend two weeks getting the units on our network to work with Acrobat 9.
TIA

OK - or i should say not OK!!
I am running the licensed version of Acrobat 9 Pro on Mac OSX. It is installed on 2 of my MacBook Pro 17" laptops. These machines are respectively 1 month and 14 months old, and both are completely up-to-date software wise. 3 weeks ago Acrobat presented the error message "Licensing for this product has stopped working" and then quits. Searching through the error logs reveals the following: No matching processes were found. Shutting down licensing service ...
I have meticulously, several times worked through all the recommended steps on the Adobe site to address this issue but to no avail. Booting up in safe mode makes no difference. In desperation I re-installed the OS, but to no avail. My several and extended communications with Adobe online help have left me chatting with what sounded like a couple of uni students from India who had insufficient understanding of English, Macs and Acrobat. After 3 weeks my case has been closed twice by Adobe who report that they believe my issue is resolved and have therefore closed my case. Great!!! What's more, occasionally Safari is presented online with a pdf file which it attempts to load, and then crashes.
This issue has seriously affected my ability to work with and create pdf's which in my work as a medical researcher is essential. To add insult to injury, I have wasted too many precious hours attempting to rectify the situation.
The bottom line is caveat emptor (buyer beware). Adobe it seems are committed to making a sale but not to follow-up, service or genuine concern for their customers. When some company produces a less buggy (and cheaper) alternative I will be definitely be buying their wares.
In the interim, if anybody out there can advise me as to how to get Acrobat working again, I would be most grateful.
Have a great day.

Acrobat 8.1 has stopped working

Lately, however I try to choose Create PDF from Scanner, I end up with a Windows monologue box: Adobe 8.1 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 upgraded my program from 8.1.3 to 8.1.4 to 8.1.5 yesterday and today. Several times I tried in the Help menu: Repair Acrobat Installation. At least one of those times Windows gave me another monologue box: Windows installer stopped working. Any suggestions?

With the absence of any further information, it would be useful to know what your environment is (e.g., OS + SP level, hardware). Do you have Reader installed in addition to Acrobat? From where did you purchase Acrobat? What other, if any, error messages do you get? Just saying Acrobat "stops working" does not precisely describe what you problem might be.
After we know this, we might have a better chance to help you?

If you have not updated to the most current version, you might try that.

Acrobat XI has stopped working

We recently have created several forms in Adobe InDesign CS6 and our users have Acrobat XI (Full version) installed on Windows7 64-bit. I'm getting more and more reports of Acrobat XI crashing while they are filling out these forms. Sometimes they will have multiple forms open, other times it happens with just one. They get an error stating, "Acrobat XI has stopped working" and their adobe windows clos. These .pdf files are stored in dropbox and they usually open the files by browsing to the dropbox directory and double clicking on the file.
This is happening on 11.0.0 and also 11.0.03.
Any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot this?

No, we haven't checked out the form in Acrobat->Preflight. I'll look into that. The person who designed the forms exported them from InDesign as an interactive pdf.
I don't know if these will help, but one of my users took some screenshots as it was crashing. I've attached them.

Acrobat Distiller has stopped working

I see this has been posted a couple of times but the issue has not been resolved.
I am running FrameMaker 12, Distiller XI, on Windows 7.
I'm trying to File > Save as PDF and I get the error-- Acrobat Distiller 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.
The only option is to click close. This error appear 3 times before it really stops.
I have investigated this issue to a particular font issue. Although, I do not know how to correct it.
In the Distiller, Settings > Edit Adobe PDF settings , I have selected the folder for Fonts, unchecked Embed all fonts, added my font to the Always Embed list, saved my settings and then used those settings to try the same process again, with the same result.
The font that I want to embed is a free font, so there should not be any license issue with it.

This will not be Distiller Server, I suggest the regular Acrobat Creation forum. Nobody comes to this forum because Distiller Server stopped years ago.

FM 8: Acrobat Distiller has stopped working

I've recently upgraded to FM 8 and am trying to print a .book that I printed successfully many times in FM 7.
I am doing a Print Book... command. When I get to a certain .fm file, I receive the message "Acrobat Distiller has stopped working." I click OK and in a few seconds, the system informs me that my .pdf was created successfully...except, it doesn't exist. (When I try to do a "Save as PDF," a .tps file is generated that is very large, but no .pdf.)
The only difference between the problematic file and the others is that it is in a different folder than the previous files. I've even tried re-creating the file from scratch.
At this point, I'm not even sure what to check to try to diagnose the problem. I am running FM 8 (p 277) on Windows Vista Business SP1. Do I need to update Distiller somehow? How can I check the Distiller version? What folder would contain a detailed log of the print attempt? (I've printed other .book files that came over from FM7 without incident.)
Thanks for any suggestions.

Van, can you tell me how to find and delete extra distiller apps?
