    First thing to try: check the date and time on your computer, especially the year. Let us know if that's correct.

  • Word 2003 always asks to save the normal.dot since Acrobat 9 was installed

    Hello,
    Until Acrobat 9 Standard was installed on the 5000 PCs of our company, the following issue never occured.
    As soon as Acrobat 9 Standard was installed, our users started to complain of messages asking them to save the normal.dot every time Word 2003 or Outlook 2003 if Word is used as editor, is closed. And even if they save the normal.dot, of course, next time they are requested to save again.
    And if we uninstall Acrobat 9 Standard on the PCs concerned, the issue dissapear... and reappear if we re-install it.
    So, the issue is clearly linked to Acrobat 9 Standard.
    Of course, the Word 2003 option "Confirm to save the normal.dot" is NOT checked.
    It doesn't seems to happens on all the PCs but we can't isolate the commun point between those which have the issue.
    All our PCs are made by ghosting so are pretty similar, with Windows XP SP3 avec Office 2003 SP3... and now Acrobat 9.1.3 Standard.
    In case that would help the diagnostic, on the PCs without the issue, the message doesn't appear, but, still, the behavior of the normal.dot changes : the time stamp changes every time Word or Outlook is closed. Before the install of Acrobat 9, the timestamp was not changing everything, but only of changes were made.
    So, I guess Acrobat 9 Standard (probably the add-in for pdfmaker) forces the saving of all the .dot everytime Word or Outlook is closed.
    Can you help us ?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply, but the issue is the same even when Word is not the default editor in Outlook.
    Regarding the Office 2003 and Acrobat 9 updates, we are already up-to-date for Acrobat 9, but it's true that all our PCs have not yet received the SP3 for Office 2003, so it may be a trail to follow.
    But I think the issue also happens even on some PCs with most up-to-date Office 2003, so I'd say it's probably not the solution.
    But it doesn't seems that this kind of issue is widly encountered (I mean elsewhere than in our company).
    So there is probably something specific to our environnement. And since we pretty much "lock-down" the PCs (to avoid users to mess with it), it's not impossible that some restrictions somewhere on the PC causes the issue... at least to some categories of users who are missing some authorisations.
    But I'm sure that when we uninstall the "Adobe PDFMaker" component (in add/remove programs), the problem dissappear. So we are probably going to adopt this "solution" to make the steam goes down among our annoyed employees... until we'll find a better one.

  • Acrobat XI PDF maker files missing

    Have just installed XI. I run Win7 and 32bit Office 2010. PDF export ribbon in showing in word and you can create pdf from this.
    The problem arises if you use the right click 'create pdf' function. More importantly, when using the merge multiple files to PDF function. In both cases it works ok with excel but fails on word (in the case of the merge multiple file function all other types f file go in but the word file fails)
    I get he message 'PDF maker files missing'. It suggests a repair that I have tried but that doesn't help.
    I have checked the COM add in isn't disabled. It's not.
    Just can't get this working. Help!!!

    Is it that none of the right click options are not working (Create PDF, Create PDF and Email or Combine only)?
    Try converting the word file by dragging and dropping the file to Acrobat interface/icon.
    Are you able to convert the word document to PDF from Acrobat Ribbon (Acrobat-> Create PDF) from within the word application?
    Is the issue with a particular word file or happening with all the word files?

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 PDF Maker

    How do I install PDF Maker (Adobe Acrobat 8) on WIndows 8.1 64bit. During the installation, it gave me error saying that it was missing a a ".dll" file.
    Acrobat 8 installed fine and everything works except there is no PDF print driver.

    How do I upgrade Acrobat 8.0 to 8.1. I tried running "check for upgrades" in the help menu but the systems says no updates are availabe. Is there a download ink where I can download updates?
    In fact, I have Acrobat 8.3.1 installed on Windows XP. I had upgraded this from 8.0 a while ago. It would appear the upgrades are no longer available?

  • Adobe 8 PDF maker stopped working- have reinstalled but still doesn't work

    I have unistalled and reinstalled (chose standard install) but when trying to make a PDF file from a word document get "Missing PDF maker files". Have also tried repairing  but hasn't fixed it? Help please

    You can always print to the Adobe PDF printer if you get pressed, but then you lose the features of PDF Maker. You did not indicate the version of WORD or if you upgraded WORD to an new version. That is important in the answer. If you had not upgraded WORD, but maybe did periodic updates, it may have disabled the PDF Maker addin.
    Of course, you have have not told us how you were trying to make the PDF from the WORD files. What were your steps, that may also impact the answer.

  • Acrobat 11.0.5 PDF Maker does not save attachments in Outlook 2013

    I had lots of problems getting PDFMaker to work in Outlook 2013.  Finally with 11.0.5 ver it appears to work.
    Unfortunately....when saving attachments it does Not  save the attachments.
    This is a very serious problem as I am dependent on archiving emails.
    Does anyone else have this problem.  Is there a solution.  
    Looks like I need to use non Adobe product...... which is crazy.

    Hi gnits999,
    Please make sure that you have set the correct PDFMaker settings:

  • HELP! adope pdf maker stopped working after update!

    i'm not very computer savy. i use adobe primarily to convert several word documents into a larger pdf file (legal document).  i use word 2007, run windows 7.  have adobe acrobat pro 9 (friend gave to me).  it has worked fine for the past year but after a recent update (within the past week) i have been unable to convert any word/excell docs into pdfs.  it gives a generic error messages that says "an unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce adobe pdf.  i have tried repairing adobe install (under help menu in adobe).  i have also tried to reinstall the software but nothing seems to fix this issue.  i did not appear to be limited to word. i was unable to convert excell docs.  i am able to "publish" a word doc into a pdf.  once the document is a pdf i am able to do merge files.  however if i published it, i have to arrange the pages one by one (some files are over 100 pages).  any suggestions?

    Even though this was not posted 2 weeks ago, and it remains unanswered - I'm experiencing similar problems so thought I'd add to this one.
    XP Pro SP 3
    Acrobat 6.0.6
    Reader 9.5.0
    Elements 10.0
    Photoshop CS 8.0
    MS Office 2003 SP 3
    Acrobat 6 worked fine, converting all manner of files to PDFs, and it even got embedded links to websites correct. 
    Yesterday, it failed.  From Make PDF, after opening a Word File, focus goes back to Acrobat and the active window remains gray.  The file is not created.  Acrobat hangs or quits.
    I had updated Elements from 7.0 to 10.0 a few days earlier.  Thinking the installation must not have gone well, I un-installed Elements and Acrobat, reinstalling Elements first, then Acrobat, restarting the computer at every reasonable opportunity.
    It is still broken.  How is it that a tried and true application from such a respected developer suddenly fails?
    Anyone know what the problem is and how to cure it?
    NOTE: Adobe support refuses to even speculate.  The reason:  they no longer support Acrobat 6.

  • Acrobat X Standard PDF Maker don't work on Outlook 2013

    I upgrade to M.O. 2013 and the PDF Maker on Outlook stops working. I'm using the Acrobat X standard latest version on Win.8 Pro 64bit. Somebody knows how to enable this again? Thanks.

    Acrobat X PDF Maker is not compatible with Microsoft Office 2013. Please refer to following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
    You need to upgrade to Acrobat 11.0.1 to get this feature.

  • Word, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and PDF Maker

    I am still using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and I also have Office 2010 installed on my Windows 7 laptop. Is there a way to get PDF Maker to work in Office? Right now when I open Word for example the PDF tab does not appear anywhere. I tried running the repair feature in Acrobat but nothing has changed.
    I believe Office needs to be installed first then Acrobat so PDF Maker can be installed. I did this intially when I had Office 2007 but then I unintalled it and installed Office 2010 and I'm guessing that is why things aren't working. Am I going to need to reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro Extended?

    Acrobat 9.x is not compatible with MS Office 2010

  • Adobe PDF maker add-in for Word 2010 adding strange numbers to headings

    Hi everyone,
    I used the Adobe PDF maker add-in for Word 2010 to export a Word document to pdf. After saving the pdf, I noticed that the headings that are displayed in the navigaton pane now contain strange numbers, eg.
    1.1 14BSecond level heading
    1.2 15BSecond level heading
    The above should be:
    1.1 Second level heading
    1.2 Second level heading
    It's doing this for all second level headings in the document and when I save as a pdf file, these numbers are showing in the pdf bookmarks.
    Does anyone know if this is a known bug with the pdf add-in and if yes, if there's any way to remove the numbers?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am experiencing a somewhat similar problem. In my case the unwanted numbers are being prepended to the running headers at the tops of the pages.
    So for example, I have some Heading 1 text that says Verifying the Required Account Settings. But in the running header, this shows as 11BVerifying the Required Account Settings.
    Unlike the original poster, the 11B does not appear in the text itself - only in the PDF generated by Acrobat's PDF Maker.
    This occurs with this document when output from either Word 2007 or Word 2010 and Acrobat X.
    Any suggested fixes?    ...pt

  • Word 2003 - Acrobat XI Std. - autotext normal.dot - unable to change

    After installing Acrobat XI Standard at Word 2003 i can not Change the Autotext entries at normal.dot.
    Before installing XI Acrobat 7 with the ppecial patch was installed, but since the last Windows 7 Update, Acrobat 7 did not run.
    What can i do?
    Thx

    Hi, the installation of the Acrobat was completely normal. After installation, I could not make any more changes to the text blocks / autotext, that are stored in the files normal.dot. Word makes no changes to the file normal.dot when closing of Word. I uninstalled Acrobat again and the changes of the text blocks normal.dot are again possible. Something in Acrobat blocked the storage of text blocks.

  • How do i make the word save as dialog box stop popping up when trying to convert to pdf?

    how do i make the word save as dialog box stop popping up when trying to convert to pdf?

    Hi rus-tee,
    That's interesting--what are you using to convert your file to PDF? Are you using Word? Or are you using the Adobe PDF Pack online service. Please describe your process for converting to PDF, and we'll get to the bottom of this!
    Best,

  • Ever since I downloaded Acrobat Pro 11.0.09, the PDF Maker and Save As PDF have not worked, but instead cause MS Word 2013 to crash.

         Ever since I downloaded the Acrobat Pro 11.0.09, the PDF Maker has not worked, but instead causes MS Word 2013 to crash. I cannot find the cause or the solution.

    OK I will try to elaborate this time with pictures so it is clear what I am asking and what the issue I am facing is.
    The specific option I want to be able to use from within the Adobe Acrobat Pro user interface is
    File\Create\Batch Create Multiple Files
    When I select that menu item a floating tool bar thing pops up that I can drag and drop files onto.
    If I drag excel or powerpoint documents onto it and press OK it converts them fine.  If I drag MS word documents into it the documents appear in the list but when I click OK it says no files processed.
    In the process of troubleshooting I also tried using the Add Files button.  That is when I discovered that MS word documents (*.doc, *.docx) are not showing up in the list of supported file types.
    The same thing happens when I try converting a single file using the File\Create\Create PDF From File menu item. Just like above the MS word documents do not show up in the list of supported file types.
    Looking in my registry entries as suggested by the article linked to by one of the posters above I can see both *.doc and *.docx types registered in the correct place.
    Unless I can use the batch convert command as intended by the time my trial period runs out in 13 days I cannot justify buying this software. If converting the documents one at a time was acceptable I would just use Save As PDF from within MS Word which works just fine. I need the batch convert function so I can convert my whole library of word documents to PDF at once.
    Any further assistance greatly appreciated!
