Acrobat Pro XI: Creating a PDF from a Web Page

When I try to create a PDF from a Web page using Acrobat XI, I get the Error Code "Nothing done" and "Authorization Failure", but it doesn't happen on all webistes. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it? I'm using the trial version of Acrobat Pro XI on a Mac. Same result with either Firefox or Safari.
Thanks.

It's likely a HTTPS site or you have an authenticating proxy server where you are required to enter a password to acess the web page.

Acrobat crashes when creating a PDF from a web page

Whenever I ask Acrobat to create a PDF from a web page, it crashes halfway through the process. Here is an example from the BBC:-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19585341
Printing to PDF from the browser does not produce an accurate document. The font is too big, and most of the pictures do not appear.
I use Acrobat X Pro version 10.1.4.
This is a PC problem. On the Mac it works.

The problem I mentioned is peculiar to Acrobat 10 and also to my PC. On a Mac I can create PDF's from webpages normally.
I also notice that when printing to PDF from Opera only the first page comes out. (Using Firefox all pages are printed to PDF.)

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8, for the simple reason it was
created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
current version for compatibility.

Using Adobe Pro X I cannot create a PDF from a web page.

After a recent upgrade from a previous version of Firefox, I am now unable to create a PDF from a web page using the Adobe Pro toolbar on the web page. A "save as" box appears and then the conversion process dies. I can print the page using Adobe Pro as my printer and it works fine. I can create other docs with Adobe Pro. How do I fix this on my browser?
Thanks.

Create a PDF from a Web Page

I was on Acrobat pro 6. Now I am trying out Acrobat X pro ("v10").
1. I create a pdf file from a web page. When I click on a link in the new pdf file, it automatically opens that link in a web browser. Previously, in v 6.x, it defaults to "Append to the Document". How can I set Acrobat X Pro to default to "Append to Document" ?
2. I find the pdf file created from a web page has no page numbers. Again, in v6.x, there was page numbers in those files. How can I get page numbers included in the header/footer? Is the header/footer configurable?
3. In v6.x, when I want to convert a web page (into pdf) that is behind a password -- because it includes links, whereas printing to pdf does not -- I would first get the login page (in pdf). Then I can type in my password in the pdf file and click on go (right click and select Append) and I would get the next page in pdf. Now, v10 no longer does that. I keep getting different errors depending on the web site. e.g. I was testing on this web site, and get "SyntaxError: invalid XML tag syntax". Am I missing something or is there a "new" way to get the same result in v10?
TIA

Hi paulp14382584,
It seems that you have removed the Create PDF from webpage tool from the toolbar by mistake. Please don't worry I will help you to get this issue fixed.
1) Open the Acrobat on your computer.
2) Right click on the toolbar & select Edit Current Tool Set form the list.
3) Edit tool set window will pop up on your screen.
4) Please Click on the 'Create' option from the list on the left hand side & then select ' PDF from Web-page' from the drop down list.
5) Then click on the small button ( + & arrow sign towards up ) to add it to the tool bar.
6) Hit Save to confirm the changes.
This will add the Create PDF from web-page tool on the tool bar.
Let me know if you experience any issue.
Regards,
Aadesh

Can't create a PDF from a Web page using acrobat 8.0

I am using Acrobat 8.0, + Mac 10.5. When, in Acrobat, the dialog box comes up (File>Create PDF from Web) I first enter the URL, then try to click on "Settings" but nothing happens. Then I get an error message. Is this a known problem?

If the url is for a secured web site Acrobat can not always get the data as it is not logged into the web site. Some web features can not be converted to the PDF format. Is the web address correct? I would use cut and paste since some web addresses can be quite hard to type in.

Acrobat crashes whenever attempting to create a PDF from a web page

Windows 7 SP1
Acrobat X 10.1.9
This problem only occurs in Windows. The Mac version works perfectly. The crash occurs immediately on executing the command, without any wait while the Web page is processed.

...but unfortunately it has resurfaced, despite using Repair to mend Acrobat. I am out of ideas, except to create PDF's from Web pages using my Mac.
It worked for two pages, but crashed on the third.

Acrobat 8.0 Creating a pdf from a Webpage--Pages smallish

I created a pdf of 100+ pages from a webpage. When I print them, a pdf
page appears about 1/2 the size of the paper. According to Help, one
should go to Print and see some was to enlarge the printed material.
I see a picture of a page with 73% below it. There seems no way to
change the 73%

When you select to create PDF from Web Page, the window that requests the URL should have a conversion settings button. Select that button and adjust items accordingly. THere are options for the headers and such (includng the URL) as well as a layout with margins and such. This may not be enough variation to meet your need. In that case, try to print to a PDF from your browser and see if that is acceptable. In this latter case, the layout would defined by your browser, not Acrobat.

When attempting to "print" to Adobe or create a pdf from a web page, the "pring/pdf" result has a bunch of unrecognizable characters on the page rather than letters/numbers

here is an example
!@#$$$%#@!@$%^^%

You could open it in the XPS application and check print preview to see if it comes out as TSN suggests (and likely will). You can go to the printer properties and adjust the page size accordingly.
You can also use the cropping in Acrobat to size all the pages and then use the Protect>Remove Hidden option to remove the cropped area.

Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,
Lox

Create a PDF from a Flash page

I need some help with a request from a client. I have created a form that a user fills out and the answers they give are added to a email as text. This works great but now the client wants the text answers in a PDF not just as text in an email. My question is, is there a way to create a PDF from the answers on a form from within the Flash program. The answers are saved in variables then added as text to the email.

Here's an again super rudimental example - click on the stage will invoke the "save file as..." dialogue.
package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.net.FileReference;
    import flash.utils.ByteArray;
    import org.alivepdf.fonts.CoreFont;
    import org.alivepdf.fonts.FontFamily;
    import org.alivepdf.fonts.IFont;
    import org.alivepdf.layout.Orientation;
    import org.alivepdf.layout.Size;
    import org.alivepdf.layout.Unit;
    import org.alivepdf.pdf.PDF;
    import org.alivepdf.saving.Download;
    import org.alivepdf.saving.Method;
    public class PDFDemo extends Sprite {
        private var _pdfByteArray:ByteArray;
        public function PDFDemo():void {
            var pdf:PDF = new PDF(Orientation.PORTRAIT, Unit.MM, Size.A4);
            var helvetica:IFont = new CoreFont(FontFamily.HELVETICA);
            pdf.addPage();
            pdf.setFont(helvetica, 24);
            pdf.writeText(24, "Hello World!");
            _pdfByteArray = pdf.save(Method.LOCAL, null, Download.ATTACHMENT);
            stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, click);
        private function click(e:MouseEvent):void {
            new FileReference().save(_pdfByteArray, "hello-world!.pdf");

Need Acrobat Pro to assemble master PDF from dissimilar sized PDF's?

I have a need to create a master PDF (portfolio) from other PDF's, with the master PDF containing Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and different size CAD drawings already converted into PDF's. Do I need Acrobat Pro to manage the dissimilar sized documents, or is Acrobat Standard sufficient.
Other question - to annotate the master PDF with highlighting, emphasis boxes around key information, and text boxes, I assume both Acrobat Standard and Pro have the same capabilities.
Correct?
Thanks for everyone's help.

To create PDF portfolio, you would require Acrobat X PRO, this feature is not available in Std. Version. For more details, please see Acrobat X product comparison matrix.
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html
For your second questions, "Yes" Acrobat Std. is sufficient.
Please let me know, if you have any further questions.
Regards,

Creating a pdf from selection of pages from multiple pdfs

I have a secured collection of pdfs. I would like to create a new pdf from selected pages of this collection. I think the way I'm doing it now is contorted. I screen capture a page, create a new pdf from the clipboard and insert the new pdf to the summary pdf. Is there a better way? I think I'm hampered by the fact that the pdf collection is secured, so my options are limited. I would like to select a page from a pdf and cut and paste the page into a new pdf directly without all these steps. Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention, using Acrobat Professional 8.
