Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF Chrome Extension Doesn't Work

The extension was installed when I installed Acrobat Pro XI and worked fine until Chrome was updated to version 29 or 30. The extension is enabled, the drop down works, but it doesn't do anything when you click on the drop down choices.

Hi Ajlan Huda,
The error is encounterd when I am logged into an https (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer) website. To try this on your own you need to logon to an secure website. I am assuming that you might have an amazon.com, gmail.com, facebook.com, linkedin.com, or some other secure online account that you can try this with. It will say https in the address bar and have a green padlock indicating that secured content is displayed. I will show the workflow attempting to convert a linkedin.com profile as an example:
I then click on the convert to Adobe PDF toolbar / extension in Chrome to convert the webpage to a PDF.
The Conversion to PDF progress pops up and looks like the progress cursor might stutter or restart a few times:
The output of the PDF shows a logon screen instead of the secure webpage content:
I also checked the "Webpage Conversion Settings" and "HTML Conversion Settings". Changing the 'Embed Mulitmedia Content' or 'Disable Multimedia Capture' do not seem to fix the problem
Thanks for your help with looking into this, I appreciate it.

Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 does not work in FireFox 4.How do i directly convert pages to PDF??Why is that your products are not backward compatable.U people are in the IT industry and should know this.Shame on You people.learn somthing form the IE team

While Updating to Fire Fox 4. It said Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 is not supported.How come 3.6 supports but not 4. I believe you people have never heard of the term "Backward Compatibility" .U people will loose your customer/support base if every new version doesn't support some existing stuff.

'''Problem Solved FINALLY !'''
Solution:
I just updated my '''Adobe Acrobat X Pro''' to '''Version 10.1.0'''.By the way, I have to complain, Adobe is really slow in solving this problem...
Here is the official link for the Adobe Acrobat update.[http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135 <click me!>http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135<click me!>]
After update, the extention changed from "Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0" into "Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1". And the '''"Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1" is compatiable with the firefox 4.0.1'''. A screenshot is attached as a proof.

I have the same problem for a couple of months, and I had to use a plug-in in Firefox to print a web page. I really need the web page address in the footer for reference purposes which Chrome print (Ctrl+P) does not produce.
The error message is: A supported version of Acrobat could not be found. Please install or update Acrobat to 11.0.9 or higher."
After updating to Acrobat 11.0.10 and repairing the installation the problem did not go away.
Deleting and re-installing the extension did not help either.

I have access to adobe acrobat-create pdf 2.0 on pc, but can not access on lap top.

The Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.0 extension/Firefox extension indicates it is not compatible with Firefox 24.6.0 ESR. Where could I obtain a more up to date extension for Acrobat X Pro 10.0?

Hi - I am running Acrobat X Pro 10.0.0 on my Windows XP Pro SP 3 (32-bit) laptop and Firefox 24.6.0 ESR. When I check the add-ons manager of Firefox I am receiving notication that the Acrobat X Pro - Create PDF 1.0 extension is incompatible with Firefox 24.6.0 ESR.
Is it possible to obtain a more up to date Acrobat X Pro - Create PDF extension please?
Thank you and kind regards.

Many updates to 10.0.0 are available, so this is the first thing to try. I don't know if it will help, but there are vital security fixes there too.

Remove unwanted Adobe Acrobat Create PDF Add-on

I just can't believe Mozilla allows this!
I installed Acrobat XI Pro for Mac and without my permission Adobe installed a Firefox add-on called "Create PDF". I can't uninstall, remove or delete it. I can only disable it. It's the only add-on that has no remove button. How can this be?
I also can't find the extension itself, in order to delete it. I tried everything, but the damn thing just can't be deleted.
I'm very disturbed that something like this is possible! Is Adobe paying Mozilla?

Unlike with Extensions and Themes (complete) the Plugins like Java, Flash player and other Adobe examples and such are not actually installed in Firefox but are on system. Firefox just scans and found compatible Plugins and is making use of them. This explains why there is no Remove button and only Activate/Deactivate which tells Firefox to make use of that Plugin on system or not.
See in '''about:plugins''' where they are located.

Create pdf chrome extension problems

My os is Win 8.1
My product is Acrobat XI with all current updates as of 11-25-2013
I use the lastest version of Chrome browser
I have used the pdf extension on the browser at least 7 times.
1st time nothing happened
2nd time it worked perfectly
3rd through 6th time it did nothing what soever.
I went into Chrome and looked at the settings. It was enabled.
I rebooted my computer and tried a 7th time which resulted in nothing happening.
I openned Chrome and deleted this extension thinking I would browse Chrome extensions and re install.
I was not able to find this extension and started reading in the Acrobat forums.
I did as suggested and closed Chrome and open Acrobat and click repair.
This resulted in no change what so ever. I have also noticed that the disscussions I read the folks with
this same issue have not been able to resolve the problem.
I believe in Acrobat and enjoy the use of it. This chrome browser extension function was great the one time it worked for me.
I am open for help....now that I can't even make the extension show up on my brower again.
Thanks,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Would you mind emailing me directly with your info? [email protected]
Kindest regards, Stacy

Your latest update says Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1 will be disabled, but I must use it daily, so what am I to do?

The above question says it all. I'm currently running Firefox 6.2. Don't know what other info you need. My dilemma is simple: I can't do my work without Adobe Acrobat. You say I MUST update my version of Firefox for security reasons, but you will disable Adobe (for some indeterminate period of time). What would you do if you were me? If you want to discuss my cell is: 317-439-0915. Thanks, Bill Stanley 11/9/11

Bill,
You can achieve the same results as with Adobe Create PDF by following this procedure:
(1) Click on the Orange Firefox tab in the upper left Firefox user interface (or else the "Menu Bar" if you have it enabled), then "Save Page As" followed by "Web Page Complete" in the menu that will appear to save the web page and associated/linked folder of files on your desktop.
(2) Use the mouse to right click on the firefox icon for the saved webpage on your desktop.
(3) In the context menu that appears, choose and click on "Convert to Adobe PDF"
(4) The process takes a few seconds, but the pdf file should then appear.
(5) Delete the saved webpage file from your desktop. (Just deleting the main file will put the folder that's linked to it also into the trash)
Unlike using the Adobe PDF printer from Firefox, this will preserve any embedded url links that were in the web page and have them appear as clickable links in the pdf. And unlike using the create pdf option and typing the url into Adobe Acrobat itself it will work for sites such as some online encyclopedias that you have to log into to access.
Alternatively, you could just use Internet Explorer, on which Create PDF 1.1 does work - except if you're asking then you obviously prefer Firefox.
Of course it would be better if Adobe would keep up with the latest versions of Firefox, but it isn't doing that. At least the procedure, though more awkward than just being able to click on the create pdf icon on Firefox, does produce the same result from Firefox.

Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 2.0 plugin problems

Hi..
I'm not sure if this is a FF problem or Adobe but thought I would post here anyway.
I've recently installed the latest version of Adobe Acrobat and the process involved installing the FF plugin. When I allow the plugin to be installed, it messes with the FF layout. Some other third party plugins get removed from the toolbar and have to be added again and I've also noticed changes to my bookmarks toolbar.
I had a backup of my profile saved so have been able to revert things to how they were but I would like to know if anyone else has noticed any issues when adding the plugin to FF and more importantly, how to fix them please?
Thanks..
Nick :)

It looks to me, the FF plugin caused some misunderstandings / commotion / contention battles)?) within the browser.
I can not comment on side effects, but note that FF21 displays PDF files in a native mode, i.e. without any need for Adobe software and/or plugins. So uninstalling the plugin should at least remove the cause for problems - which it did, as far as I can tell.
regards

Adobe acrobat-create pdf addon not compatible for firefox 37.2

after I installed firefox 37.2, the previous adobe acrobat reader, viewer and pdf creator are suddenly unable to use. the error message is "incompatible with firefox 37.2. If so, please ask adobe whether they are able to tell me where to install the compatible addon.
I would like to know how to update such addons. Or, maybe I should downgrade my firefox version to older ones just so I can use the addon. If so, please advise how to downgrade the firefox version.
thank you.

I can't tell what version of CreatePDF you have, but version 2.0 should still be working. I think version 1.2 stopped working a while ago.
Your Adobe Acrobat plugin has a peculiar version number, according to your More System Details, of 15.7.20033. The expected value is 11.0.10.32.
Could you investigate that further by typing or pasting '''about:plugins''' in the address bar and pressing Enter. This should load a long page listing details about your plugins. If you use the Find feature (Ctrl+f) to look for '''nppdf''' can you find an entry with that version number? Is it in an odd location? The normal location for Adobe Reader would be similar to:
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Reader\browser\nppdf32.dll
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Reader\Air\nppdf32.dll
What do you find?

Convert PDF Chrome extension does not appear/install (Acrobat XI)

When I installed Acrobat XI, the Chrome extension to convert webpages to PDF does not install or appear in Chrome. I tried repair installation from Help menu of Acrobat, it still did not resolve the question. The extension also does not appear on the extension list, in case you're wondering its deactivated.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

I think there might be some confusion about what you are asking since I think that the Adobe Acrobat Create PDF extension is only available for Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11) and I don't think that you will find it in the version 10 directory (although I could be mistaken since I do not have version 10). One you update to the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11), and also apply the latest updates to Google Chrome, then the extension should be enabled. I am running Google Chrome version 33 and have Adobe Acrobat Pro version 11.0.6.70 and the extension works alright for converting basic webpages. The Adobe installation directory that contains a copy of the extension depends on your operating system and installation and whether or not you have a 64-bit machine. For example I am running Windows 7 64-bit and I was able to find a copy of the "WCChromeExtn.crx" extension file in the directory: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Browser\WCChromeExtn"
On the other hand if you are asking how to install the "WCChromeExtn.crx" Adobe Acrobat Create PDF extension without updating Adobe Acrobat Pro, that is a much more advanced procedure. If you have Windows 7 typically certain file types and locations that will not be indexed so you may not find what you are looking for with Windows search. That is why someone suggested using a third party search indexer to find the extension file. Another person suggested extracting the file from the Adobe update, and I also think that is the way to go. However the method that was described previously is very complicated and uses a lot of unnecessary scripting for what you really need. I propose that you download the latest update directly from Adobe and then extract the extension from the update file. Here's how to do that in Windows:
1. Download the latest update file from Adobe (e.g. "AcrobatUpd11006.msp")
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
2. If you are interested in some background on Windows Installer files, check out these links and read about MSP files and extracting resources, otherwise go to the next step:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/basics.html#installer-file-ty pes
http://www.jsware.net/jsware/msicode.php5
3. Rename the incremental update MSP file extension to CAB (e.g. from "AcrobatUpd11006.msp" to "AcrobatUpd11006.cab")
4. Use an archive utility such as WinRAR, WinZip, or 7-Zip to open the CAB file and extract the "WCChromeExtn.crx" CRX extension file
5. Drag and drop the extension CRX file onto open Google Chrome window extension page to install and configure (chrome://extensions/)
There are some other forum topics and a blog post that deals with some installation issues with the Google Chrome extension:

I hope that this might help you with getting the extension installed.
I currently am having some issues with the Adobe Acrobat Create PDF extension for Google Chrome when I try to convert secure https webpages, the output of the PDF converter does not retain my logon information, and does not convert the secure webpage. The resulting output of the converted https webpage is either a logon screen or a blank pdf with only the URL listed at the bottom. I hope that this might get fixed with an update or if anyone else might know of a workaround or solution. Thanks.

Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability. How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability. How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished.

Convert PDF Chrome extension does not appear/install for Acrobat 10 Pro

I have Acrobat 10 Pro and the Chrome extension to convert web pages to PDF does not appear in Chrome. I tried repair installation from the Help menu in Acrobat and it still did not resolve this problem. The extension also does not appear on the extension list, in case you're wondering if it's deactivated. I am using Chrome Version 36.0.1985.143 m.
I would appreciate the links and steps I need to take in order to get the Adobe Convert to Webpage Chrome extension to be visible and functional on my Chrome toolbar and in my extensions list. The PDFMaker shows up in Internet Explorer. I do not use Firefox.
I have already tried disabling all of my other Chrome extensions and run a repair of Acrobat via Actions.
I tried uninstalling Google Chrome, restarted my computer, downloaded the latest Chrome installer, installed Chrome, and launched Acrobat and repair Acrobat.
I'm totally at a loss at this point.
Can you please help?
Thank you for your kind assistance!

Hi angelczech,
The convert pdf extension will not appear in Chrome with Acrobat 10.
It will with Acrobat 11.

Adobe Acrobat X PDF Printer not printing to Network Share

Until recently we have been able to print to PDF onto a network share/drive without an issue. Now it does not work, and we are not sure if it is an antivirus blocking it or perhaps an Adobe update, or even a combination of the two.
We can print to PDF fine to a local drive, or with an older version of Adobe Acrobat (8 or 9), just not with X.
Has anyone encountered this issue, or have any insight on what might be a solution to our problems?
I have tried disabling all the antivirus services, but that had no change.
I also reinstalled Adobe Acrobat X to see if it would work.
Lyle

I have just tried this, i.e., printing to a network shares (in this case a network share many miles away over a wireless internet connection from a hotel on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit), and have not been able to reproduce the problem.
Please provide the particulars of your network shares. For what it is worth, the Adobe software simply creates and writes the file to whatever location you point to. It doesn't even know if the destination is local or remote or anything to do with the network topology if remote.
You might also want to check any firewall software you might have installed to make sure that it is not blocking these remote file operations from Acrobat or any of its components.
