Adobe Acrobat 9.3 Crashes when creating PDF

I have started having a problem with Acrobat Pro crashing every time I try and create a PDF from a file or webpage. I have not found this on the forums previously and was curous as to what may be causing the issue. I have been doing regular updates to my Adobe products as well as the Microsoft OS and applications. I presume it to be related to an update, since I do not remember this being an issue previously, but I am not sure which one it could be.
Has anyone had this issue occur and how was it resolved, save rolling back to a restore point.
Thanks in advance

i would suggest a de-installation of Acrobat 9. Run Microsoft Installer Cleanup to remove any dregs left in the Registry. Disconnect computer from the web, turn off all virus and spyware protection. Then re-install.

Acrobat 8.1 Crashing when creating PDF from webpage

www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/910569/000091056909000016/form6-k15june09.htm
I have been trying to create a PDF from the above URL using Acrobat 8.1 using the "Create PDF from Web Page" function. The Download Status form opens and shows the progress as files are downloaded and converted. However Acrobat 8.1 always crashes before completing the task. Acrobat 5.0 successfully completes the task although the formatting leaves a lot to be desired but that's another issue.
I've tried various values for settings such as processing 1 level or getting entire site but the crash is consistent.
I have also tried a couple of other machines in the office with the same crashed result.
Can anybody suggest why Acrobat 8.1 would fail to render this URL into a PDF and what would cause it to crash so consistently? Is there an alternate method of creating a PDF from this URL aside from loading it into Word and printing to a PDF?
Any clues appreciated!

The problem is likely that the web page does not conform to standard HTML. AA8 crashed on me also. You can print the file from your browser. The only thing that would be missing would be the 3 links near the bottom and they are easy to add.

Adobe Acrobat 8 standard - crash when print pdf with watermark

it is the EXACT same issue as this:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402928&sliceId=1
the problem is, the steps indicated here to fix the problem in solution 1, do not apply to STANDARD, even though it says it does.
Solution 3 works just fine.
The problem is this, I do not want my watermarks at 100% opacity. Every solution I have found says "Select PDF Optimizer from the Advanced menu.
I do not see that menu/option anywhere in acrobat 8 standard. I need a fix for this issue, and printing a watermark at %100 opacity or getting a new printer isn't a solution.
Apparently if I could just run the pdf optimizer i could fix this issue, but its nowhere to be found.
I was hoping someone could shed some light on this for me. Thanks in advance

I believe the PDF optimizer is only in Professional. I don't have 8 on
my machine now. There may have been something under the file menu that
did some optimization called Reduce File size, but I don't know if it
will fix your problem or what version numbers had the option.

Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007

Issue: Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007.
OS: Win XP Pro SP3
Error Message(s): None
Details: This issue happens with multiple Microsoft Project files (including new files), multiple PDF creators (included Acrobat 8 Standard) and on multiple computers. We also tried opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader 8 instead of Acrobat Standard 8. There is no record in the event log on the computers of the application crashes.

I may have a resolution now...
I clicked Tools -> Options -> View and turned off Bars and shapes in Gantt views in 3-D" on the advice of someone on a Microsoft Forum. I made three PDFs from three Microsoft Project files (that were having trouble previously) and was not able to get these PDFs to crash when zooming or changing pages. So far so good!

Adobe Acrobat V9 Professional crashes or causes PDFs to be corrupted when using Dragon software

Adobe Acrobat V9 Professional crashes or causes PDFs to be corrupted when using Dragon software. I use Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5 to assist me when I add comments to a PDF. I also use it when making additions or changes to text. When I use the two software programs together, Acrobat constantly crashes. If it doesn't crash, an error occurs trying to save the file. I entered 988 comments into a 158-pg PDF, only to find the file was corrupted and couldn't be printed. I also could not see the list of comments (click Show Comments).
These problems do not occur if I don't use both products simultaneously.

Never overwrite a clip that is used in Pr. Give the
modified/corrected/updated clip a new name and import that into your Pr
project. Then Alt+Drag the new clip on top of the old clip in the
timeline to replace the clip instance.
If import-then-drag isn't your style, then right-clicking the original
clip in the Project panel and selecting Replace Footage will accomplish
the same thing.
This important rule applies in Encore as well.

Adobe Acrobat as a server to create PDF using PDF templates and field values

I'm writing a web page to create a PDF using fields that we ask for them in the screen.
My idea is:
1. Ask for field values (text values and a photo) in my web
2. Run Adobe Acrobat to load a PDF template (PDF form) and mix with the field values
3. Create a final PDF mixing values and template
4. Show to document to the user in his client web browser. I guess the only way to do that is to create the PDF on a server with Adobe Acrobat Pro and send to the user browser a JPEG that will represent the PDF: If I do this operation in the PDF visor at the client browser, the problem is that it will will be mandatory to install Adobe Acrobat in each cliente because only this visor can manage javascript.
Can you tell me if this idea is correct? It is possible to use Adobe Acrobat on a Server to create PDF when some proccess needs?

and what other Adobe product o procedure can we use to do that?
I only need to create a PDF mixing PDF Templete, field values and javascript.
Thanks for your help.

I have updated my Adobe Acrobat plugin three times today but the firefox plugin check says it is out of date, a problem as I repeatedly encounter "The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed" when I attempt to download pdfs.

I am attempting to download pdf's from a library search on JSTOR. I can view the pdf but cannot download them as they say "The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". I have been to the firefox plugin check and have updated Adobe Acrobat three times in the last hour, but it still says my plugin is not up to date. This leads me to believe that this may be the source of my crash errors.
I updated Adobe Flash from the same firefox plugin check page and after one try it now says I am up to date, so my system is obviously accepting these updates.
Help!!!!!

The following solution is useful for people who have the full version of Acrobat 9, but are getting the error message "the Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". You probably want the features in the full version of Acrobat, but still need to be able to open PDF files from your Firefox browser.
Go to Tools > Options > Applications. Scroll down and change all of the Adobe Acrobat files to open with Acrobat 9 (or whatever version you have) instead of "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". This may not be as handy as having it use Acrobat inside the Firefox browser, but it will still let you open PDF files without having to uninstall the full version of Acrobat. Hope this helps.

Adobe Acrobat XI Standard crashes when we create pdf from scanner

We are using adobe acrobat XI standard, version 11.0.06
WIndows 7 Pro 64 bit
scanner: Xerox documate 4799
Acrobat crashes when we create pdf from scanner

Spent quite a while on this one.. My problem was related to twain drivers which reside in c:\windows\twain_32. I'm running windows 7 64-bit. First it's usually possible to scan in windows 7 maybe vista and from adobe without even using twain (using WIA). So try renaming the twain_32 folder to _twain_32 and see what happens... If that stops the crashing look at the contents of the twain folder. I had a Dell folder for some printer I wasn't even using. That was causing the crash. I removed the dell folder and renamed the twain folder back to twain_32. Now everything works as designed.

Adobe Acrobat XI crashes when creating PDF from webpage.

I need to create quite a few pdfs from webpages and all of a sudden, after being completely functional, my Acrobat has begun crashing nearly 100% of the time when trying to do so. I'm defining crashing as either completely crashing ('...has stopped working...') or freezing indefinitely, forcing me to Force Quit. It may be worth mentioning that I am using the Mac version. Any ideas?

The problem is likely that the web page does not conform to standard HTML. AA8 crashed on me also. You can print the file from your browser. The only thing that would be missing would be the 3 links near the bottom and they are easy to add.

MSWord items that crash Adobe Acrobat 9.0 add-in (Create PDF function)

I just want to include a tip I discovered after two days of troubleshooting a colleague's MS-Word (2007 - docx) document. I tried going through the forums to see if anyone else has posted this.
Obviously, my colleague would try to use the Acrobat add-in within Word through the "Create PDF" button. But doing so causes MS-Word to crash. The crash involves the dialog box for sending an error report to MS (which I cancel).
I then attempted this on another PC and got the same result.
Another colleague on the support team suggested trying to convert only sections of the document to try and pinpoint the issue to an element within the document. The result of trial and error pointed me to a particular graphics element on Page 11 of the 46 page document. The graphics element was composed of 4 clock diagrams that were made up of smaller elements (arrowheads and lines for the clock-hands, separate textboxes for the numbers 1 - 12 on each circular clockface, etc.) Deleting the whole graphic allowed the document to be converted to PDF.
I then reverted to the original document and clicked on the graphic. I was about to investigate if there was a particular element within the grouped graphic that caused the crash, but, by luck, I was able to discover that just by ungrouping the graphic into its elemental components "Create PDF" was able to render the PDF successfully.
Perhaps this is something to try in the future should anyone run into this issue. I hope this helps someone else.

It may be something that Adobe did not catch in the way that MS did the graphic processing (and to be sure MS does not always do things by the book). It may have been fixed. I note that you only have AA9.0. The current version is AA9.3.4, so an update might be in order. Potentially that would resolve the problem.
In any case, I have found the graphic processing done by WORD 2007 to be strange. Taking the same file to WORD 2003 (saving to a DOC format if required) has no problem with the conversion. So there are likely problems from both MS and Adobe.

Acrobat 10 crashes when "create pdf with scanner" command attempted.

Hello
For many months I have employed Acrobat 10 and an Epson V700 photo scanner successfully on a win 7 64 platform. I employ the create pdf from scanner command, select the custom scan option and allow the Epson scanning application to launch. Again this has worked without a problem.
For over a week, however, just as I am about to hand off scanning to the Espson scanning app, Acrobat crashes!!!
I have followed other threads in the Adobe Community with total reinstall of Acrobat 10, bcdedit command line commands, and a repair process through control panel of Acrobat 10. Nothing has worked.
I now have captured the process crash file with Sysinternals procdump.exe employing the c:\temp>prodump -e -ma Acrobat.exe c:\temp\01.dmp that I found on a similar Adobe Community thread. The file is over 154 mb!
Please advise me on how to provide diagnostic data and steps to take to recover this extremely important function of my Acrobat 10!
Thank you

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Crashes when trying to save pdf as Word doc.

It starts to save the document and says page pass 1 of 5 for example then says adobe acrobat has stopped working. How do I fix this problem?

Found this in answer to a similar issue regarding crash on print. And my issue has been resolved ...
To avoid this crash try this workaround.
remove adobe PDF PPD from the following folders:
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,

Adobe Acrobat 8.2: Crash When Searching

Using Acrobat 8 Professional on Vista Business. When I search, the program crashes:
Adobe Acrobat 8.2 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."
Never a solution, though.
It is licensed.
Suggestions?

First I'm assuming the printer works with every other program OK, is the true?
Second type a small note using TextEdit and save it as a .pdf to your desktop. Does it print OK?
Third connect your printer directly to your computer via USB, Firewire etc. and try printing. Does it print OK?
Forth there are two ways to print a document. Choose File>Print and in the "Copies & Pages" section choose "Advanced" choose (if the upper left) "print as image". Does it print now?
Fifth try a different printer, connected directly to the computer. Does it print now?
I use Mac OS X 10.4.11 with several printers all day long. Usually #4 does the trick. Let me know.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Crashes When Scanning with Canon DR-4010C Native Interface

When doing a custom scan in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2, I need to be able to show the Canon DR-4010C native interface so that it will auto-crop when I am scanning small documents such as receipts, etc. I have another model scanner that does it automatically (a Canon Dr-2510C) but I need that same functionality when I scan with the 4010. I can see the setting when I configure Adobe to use the scanner's native interface however when I choose "auto detection" on the size (in the scanner's interface) and press scan, Adobe immediately crashes. Please help!

Also, your log says: Acrobat.exe, version: 9.0.0.332
Looks like you have not updated Acrobat after install. The current version is 9.4.6. Also try updating Acrobat, Help->Check for updates
