Acrobat Professional 8.1.3 driver? Sudden output problem

I often need to produce pdfs with printer's marks from Illustrator. Suddenly the output for a full full page is just the center of the page. (Still works fine for smaller work, e.g. business card size).
My guess is that the driver is corrupted but I can't find a fix or a place to download a new driver. I have tried deleting the current driver (1.1 or 3016.102) and then using fix/repair in the Acrobat program to reinstall it, but the same output error exists.
Can anyone help?

Hey, I had the same problem when I was designing something for my
Ubuntu Applications. Thanks for your help.

CONVERT_OTF error while opening the file in acrobat professional.

Hi Gurus,
I'm using 'CONVERT_OTF' to convert smartform to PDF and then I'm saving the file to application server (Code shown below). ADOBE Acrobat Viewer can handle this error when you open the PDF file - you don't get an error message.
Adobe Acrobat Professional can also open the corrupted file but you'll get the following message if you close it:
'Do you want to save changes to file before closing?'
Kindly help me why some files can be processed successfully and some files gets corrupted.

External hard drive suddenly not readable

Help!
I have an external 160GB hard drive (LaCie; Firewire connection) that has suddenly stopped mounting on my desktop. I have used this drive with no problem for ages and with OSX 10.4.
Now I get the message:
'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.'
With three options: Initialize; Ignore; Eject.
I have lots of valuable data on this drive that I need to access. What can I do? I have looked at Disk Utility and the disk shows but still will not mount.
Please help!

External hard drive spontaneously unmounted? Try these tips:
NEW FIRMWARE: Try updating your external hard drive's firmware, which is available from your drive manufacturers Web site--or just use VersionTracker's (www.versiontracker.com) search function to find it. Be sure to back up your data before applying the update, and carefully follow the manufacturers instructions.
OUT OF iSIGHT: If you're using an iSight camera while you're using a FireWire drive, the camera may be interfering with the drive's ability to stay mounted. Try temporarily disconnecting your iSight and moving it to a separate FireWire port. If you have multiple FireWire devices, try using a FireWire hub.
POWER PROBLEM: A faulty power adapter could be causing your drive to unmount. Your drive may not be getting enough juice to stay on, causing the drive to turn off and thereby unmounting it from your Mac. Alternately, the power adapter may not be providing a steady amount of power, causing your drive to turn on and off. Try replacing the adapter. If you can't get a replacement adapter from the hard drive manufacturer, try your local electronics store. Just make sure the adapter you choose has the same connector and input/output voltage. you can find the input/output voltage on the adapter itself.
Cheers!

Link problem when converting MS Word to PDF with Acrobat Professional

Hello all,
I have the following problem:
When I have a MS Word document with links to other files inside and I convert it to PDF the links are converted from relative paths to absolute paths.
The problem is created by Acrobat as the links in the MS Word file are relative (I have checked this by moving the different docs to another directory and confirmed that the links still work after the move).
How can I make the paths in the PDF relative again? I know there is a plugin from Evermap (and I can confirm this works) but I do not want to use this plugin (=read: spend another $190 dollars) as the license for the Acrobat Professional is expensive enough . Is there a way I can convert the paths within Adobe Acrobat easily? Or better: can I adjust the settings in Acrobat to a new standard when all converted documents contain relative paths?
Backgroundinfo:
- Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
- Windows XP (SP2)
- MS Word 2002
Thanks in advance!
Bart

Dear Steve,
I have tried what u suggested: I put all the documents (word + linked documents) into the same folder on the local-drive (C). Then I recreated the links in the word document to be sure they were matching. After that I converted the word document to an PDF and confirmed the links were still working in the PDF document.
Then the biggest challenge: copying the pdf and linked documents to another drive&directory. As you can guess: Unfortunately the links did not work anymore.
Any other suggestions?
If I use the Evermap-tool (30 day-trial) I can look at the links and this is how it is 'coded' in the pdf.
first link: ../../../../test/link_a.pdf
second link: ../../../../test/link_b.pdf
and yes this will work if you put the documents in the directory test in the root of the local-drive but not in a different subdirectory.
Anyone ideas?
Grtz,
Bart

In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

If it is Win 7 or later, the Adobe PDF printer for AA 7 will not install and AcroTray will not function. You will have to install a PS driver from Adobe or maybe an HP color PS printer driver. Then edit the driver properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to FILE. You will always have to do an extra step in creating PDFs by opening the file that is created in Distiller to get the PDF.
If you are talking about Win 8, you may not be successful at all. If you got Acrobat and Distiller to install, then there is a chance.

Drive suddenly stopped working

Hi there, can anyone help/advice on this issue. My Lacie external firewire drive suddenly stopped working, the green light on the power pack had died so i replaced the powerpack thinking this was the problem. Still nothing. Te HD does not show up on the desktop or disk utility. The drive does not seem to power up audibly like before, although the blue light comes on. I have tried it on several other newer more powerful macs in the office and still no joy. Ideas? thanks

hi there, thanks for getting back in touch. Yes I guess it could have just died The power brick is rated the same yes, same input power and output, also tested on another brick which belongs to another drive exactly the same. I dont think there is any warranty, it is about 5years old. Not tried the USB, I will give it a try though. Not sure what the drive configuation is inside the case, but may try and remove them and put them in another case, see if I can get any data off. Thanks

Acrobat 5 - Placing PDF into inDesign and Output to Colour Separations are Wrong

Acrobat 5 - Placing PDF into inDesign and Output to Colour Separations are Wrong
I have a 2 Page PDF file from my client which I have to have setup 2UP on 450x320 for Metal Plates for the Press.
I setup my page size in inDesign and Placed each page from the PDF file into the inDesign Document.
Because I need 4 Metal plates (CMYK) I had to check the Colour Seperations for the file by outputting it to a Postscript file with CMYK SEPS and then using Adobe Distiller to turn it into a PDF file for me to view the Seperations.
As I've shown in the screen shot below. The CYAN plate has boxes all around the images in the PDF file which will come out on a Metal Plate.
Compared to the Colour version of the Client's PDF they supplied me, there is no boxes around the images.
I know this is a error with dropping a PDF file into inDesign, outputting to a PS file and then Distilling it to the SEPS. I've had the same problem when I've opened a PDF file that has been distilled in Illustrator and the Artwork is sliced into pieces and uneditable.
Has anyone else found this problem and if so is there a workaround?
I'm using Adobe inDesign CS and Adobe Acrobat Professional Version 5.

Im facing a similar kind of problem. I want to store and retrieve Office files, PDF and Jpegs into/from the database to view them on web in disconnected mode. Please reply as I cant find any help/documentation regarding saving BLOB data into files. I was able to store file data into BLOB, using DBMS_LOB package.

When Printing Flash Paper from Acrobat Professional, Flash paper is not able to search!

When I try to print a flash paper file from adobe acrobat professional, it prints, and it creates the flash paper file. The flash paper file is no longer search-able though, when I try searching, it just says "not found".
The original PDF is search-able, and I have created the flash paper files before and they were search-able, but now they are not. Is there something I'm missing? Please let me know!
contact me at [email protected]
Thanks!

I havent exported any videos in the past from Flash. The movie is around 45 seconds and the size is 470KB.
I tried both, the memory and the hard drive.
In the attached image you can see the settings and in the other image you can see the progress bar that remains without something to happen.
I dont mind what type of video to export it can be also .avi but again I have troubles there. It is very large and the animation is distorted.
The animation consist from two scenes. The first one can be exported without any problem but the second one cannot be exported. May be because it has some masks layers and guide layers?

Acrobat 'Professional' 9 installation buggered

If you don't like rants, look away now.
<rant>
Colleague wants me to edit a PDF doc for a typo. I've not got the right software so go to Adobe site. Choose to download Acrobat 'professional' (what's the 'amateur' version like?) 9 trial version at a whopping 350+ megs. Run install. Installation falls over, hangs, and have to kill in Task Manager. Installation buggered, can't run any Acrobat stuff. Re-run install prog, choose repair, get "network error" for a file on the C: drive. Sod it - de-install Acrobat via Control Panel, re-run installation with minimal options. Seems to go ok. Run Acrobat 'professional', turns out it can't edit PDFs anyway, so have wasted time completely. Go web browsing, click on a PDF in Firefox, get error saying that my version of Acrobat can't run PDFs, need 8 or 9. Download Acrobat Reader 9, run install. Choose repair. Get "network error" - D'OH!!
Result: 3 hours lost, I still can't edit PDFs, and now I can't run PDFs inside web browsers. Great ;-\
From my experience with Adobe, its products come a close second to Microsh1te in the bloatware stakes. Only Dreamweaver is halfway-usable. For bitmap editing I now use the Gimp, for vectors Inkscape - I can edit a drawing in these in the time that it takes Illustrator and Photoshop to load. Yet Adobe continues to ask four figures for its product suites? Surely further evidence that there is no God and that corporate buyers are terminally stupid.
Bye now.
</rant>

From http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/solutions/detail/edit_pdf.html:
"With Adobe® Acrobat® 9 software, you can work directly within a PDF document to implement minor changes. Easily add or replace text and make changes to color, word spacing, character spacing, and text size."
That'll teach me to take Adobe at its word.
Yes, it's easier to edit the source file from which the PDF was generated, but we don't have the original Word doc, otherwise that's exactly what I'd have done.

Acrobat Professional 8.1.6 patch problem

I started with a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.5.8. Installed Acrobat Professional 8 from disk, then went through all 7 or so incremental updates (why no rollup install????). All went fine until the last patch, at which point I get the "Update failed" message - because the original application has been modified since it was originally installed.
I only installe the app about half an hour ago!! And the only changes that could have been made are by Adobe patches!
As for the suggestions at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407621.html, well the first one doesn't work, and the second is just idiotic. It's a brand new installation of everything!
What to do?
Thanks!

Sorry for the delay on getting this tested.
So I was able to go from a fresh install of Acrobat Pro v 8.0 to v 8.2.2 on a Mac.
I have Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.2) installed on an intel based machine.
My Mac version of Acrobat 8 is a download and not from a DVD.
Acrobat 8 has never been installed since reinstalling the OS on a new Hard Drive.
This is where I downloaded all the updates
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh
Since I have an English version of the software my main goal was to get the English friendly updates.
No updates were downloaded using the Acrobat Updater since this seems to cause issues with installing v8.1.6.
After installing each update Acrobat was launched and the About information was checked to confirm the update.
After installing the last update the Acrobat Updater was used to confirm all updates were applied.
All updates below installed without any errors.

SERIOUS ADOBE ACROBAT PROFESSIONAL 8 ERROR

Hi
I am using (or TRYING to use!) Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.
But every time it loads up I receive the following pop-up message:
"A serious error has been detected and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot continue. Please re-install the application and try again."
I click OK, and then another message appears:
"Acrobat.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x05bf1243" referenced memory at "0x12284e88". The memory could not be "written".
Click on OK to terminate the program"
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing but the error comes back!
What can I do?? Can ANYONE help?!!

I've been watching this thread hoping to find an answer to nearly the same issue... "Acrobat Cannot Continue At This Time Until You Open Photoshop" (?)
It doesn't matter which application I open... Acrobat is worhtless and closes in roughly 5 seconds. Hard to believe Adobe's been unable to duplicate this in-house? Now I'm afraid to uninstall it and reinstall ver. 7. I already had to FORMAT my Vista install and deal with Microsoft requiring personal information before allowing me to authorize my copy of Vista Ultimate a second time, just to get Photoshop CS3 installed on my PC following the beta fiasco.
And to think I installed Vista in the first place because I wanted to be able to use Bridge 2.0....
Jeff, why couldn't there have been a list of files and registry entries to be removed posted? Some sort of procedure to help out those of us that didn't install the Photoshop beta to the default drive or directory? The WinClean tool did NOT work for me, (or several others I'm aware of).
As it looks, the same thing is happening now with Acrobat 8. Those of us with problems are out of luck after spending a lot of money on a productivity suite of tools. After all the problems I had with getting Photoshop CS3 on my computer from Creative Suite, I installed it from a stand-alone version before installing the rest of the suite to gain use of Dreamweaver, etc., (which ALSO crashes my entire system every 2nd or 3rd time I use it!).
I don't mean to be ragging on it, but I am a bit confused after using Adobe products for as long as they've been around...
Thanks.

I need to reload Acrobat Professional

My hard drive fried and I now have a new one in my computer. How do I without having to purchase it again?

Download Acrobat Professional 9 OS X?

I see no way to download Acrobat Professional 9, for which I have a serial number (purchased 2010). I can't find a way to download it.
(frustratingly, there is a link for Windows but not OS X here: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8)
can anyone help with this?
Many thanks in advance!

After some more extensive searching of old backups, I found the original DMG file that will allow a trial install of Adobe Acrobat Professional 9 for OS X
I posted it in google drive with open access for anyone else who needs it. Since Adobe apparently has too little room on their server to post this 0.5 GB file:

Acrobat Professional 9.2 and Epson Artisan 810 All-in-One

Acrobat is unable to initiate a scan from my new Epson Artificat all in one. I previously had an HP 6300 series all in one and had no problems with this device. My O/S is Windows 7 Professional.
I am able to initiate a scan from Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (along with other programs), so the problem is not with the device installation. I can also scan to a PDF from the device, or using the device's native scanning program, just not from inside of Acrobat.
When I try to scan, I get a message that Epson Scan cannot be started (from the Epson program, follow by an Acrobat message box saying that "Either the scanner driver is not installed, or thescanner is not connected". Both are wrong - drivers are installed, and the scanner is connected via Ethernet connection to my router.
I also clicked on Configure Presets and selected the scanner from the drop down list (it is the only choice). I got the same Epson error message, followed by an Adobe message box saying "Acrobat could not communicate to this device".
This is happening on my Gateway laptop. Strangely enough, I also installed the same Epson software to a desktop comouter (actually did this install first) which also has Acrobat, and it works fine in this computer.
Finally, I treied uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobot, but the problem persists. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the all-in-one software and drivers, but to no avail.
Frankly, I am at a loss - I would think that it is an Acrobat problem, but it works with the same program on a different PC. For the same reason, it does not seem to be problem with the Epson driver or software.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

The drivers were downloaded from the Epson web site this morning.
This would not be so frustrating if I did not have two machines running the same version of Acrobat Professional, with the same scanning drivers, and the same version of Windows. You'd think if it works in one setup, it should work in the other, but this does not seem to be the case.

Cannot print double-sided from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2

Cannot print double-sided from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2
Problem limited to Adobe Acrobat, MS Office 2008, Pages, Keynote.
Can print double-sided from Safari and Mac Mail
Using HP Color LaserJet 2605dtn. Have downloaded most recent driver from HP
Computer: Apple MacPro Tower, 6GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM, Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Processor speed = 3.2 GHz

Correct way to install new driver is go to Printer Utility and delete That printer from the list.
Then install the new driver.
Then go back to Printer Utility and add the new driver Back
Then go to systems preferences and to Print Fax (or Printer if no longer setup for fax) and set up for the the printer and set as default.
This way you shouldn't have to go into either print menu or Page setup menu and set for desired printer.
most hp printer in the pint menu you click copies and pages and mouse down to two sided pages you choose either book (facing pages) or Tablet (printed as you would a Tablet that's bound at the top.
you need to test a two page document to see which does correctly for you. Its best never to have the application set for two sided. in fact if you have set for two sided in both one counter acts the the other.
So set it only in the printer menu and no where else.
Also once you set up you can save printer profiles that you can go back to click on the Presets button mouse down to very bottom save with a anme you can remember even put the words two-sided in title then save. Then you can go to that preset and print your heart out.
