Adobe Acrobat printer stops responding

I use Adobe Acrobat extensively to print select web articles into PDF format. Whenever I pick an article to print using Adobe Acrobat PDF printer, I attempt to copy/paste the article's title into the Save As file line of the PDF creation dialog box. Since about Firefox 3.5, whenever I do this, no text gets copied into the file name line of the PDF creation dialog box and Firefox freezes, often together with PDF printer, and needs to be restarted. This problem still persists with Firefox 4. I have consistently seen this happen using Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 and now Adobe Acrobat Pro X on all of my Windows 7 computers (both 32- and 64-bit). As a workaround, I switched to using Google Chrome. Alternatively, I copy the source text into Notepad first to strip any formatting that might be causing the problem. Then, copied from Notepad into the Save As line, the text appears and everything works fine.

When I was having this problem, I ended up having to search the entire
sequence for the problem area, a video or image that was causing the encoder
to fail. After narrowing it down to a certain section of the timeline, I
worked through elimination to find the problem video, removing one video,
image or image sequence at a time and encoding the problem area again....on
the two occasions I've had to do this, I found one corrupt video and one
large sequence of images that, which for some reason the encoder didn't
like...re-encoding the problem video and putting it back into the project
solved it for me.

Acrobat 9 stops responding when printing

I have a large pdf that won't print on Mac snow leopard in Acrobat pro 9. Acrobat just stops responding. The same file will print from my pc to the same printer. Any suggestions? Has anyone else had this problem?

You can try print as image as a work around. Without seeing the document there is little we can determine. Can you print the first half of the document or that last half separately. By cutting the print job in half you should be able to find what page Acrobat is having difficulties with.

Adobe Pdf Printer stopped working after update to Acrobat DC

Hello, I have installed Acrobat DC yesterday. Since then, Adobe Pdf Printer stopped working. It always gets stuck at Checking Fonts and any software the print originated from just hangs and I have to force it closed.
I tried uninstalling the printer and installing it manually, repairing Acrobat installation but nothing changed.
So, can somebody help me? Thanks.

A method which is written here not working - because if you start to remove the fonts one by other you will see that the list does not end there.
I did so
1. i copied the folder with the fonts from the other clean system and replace with fonts in my system
2. then i restore the registry tree HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
3. i check system with sfc /scannow
after these procedures Distiller DC continue to crash...
In this time distiller crashed when it cheking their fonts in C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Resources\Font
after i rename the folder from Font to Font_ in order to he did not check this folder
at next run Distiller crashed at the font wingding.ttf after remowing that font he crash at Vrinda.ttf (this is a oficial font of Win7 and come with him) after removing that font distiller crash at the next font name of Vani.ttf (this is a Win7 font too) - when i saw it goes on forever i back my system to normal status and uninstal Acrobat DC and back to Acrobat XI...this version work with out any problems.
We are waiting a hotfix to resolving this problem with Acrobat DC

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro causes an error when starting it - Adobe Acrobat has stopped working. How do I resolve this?

I've had Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for some time, but yesterday it stopped working and I started having an 'Adobe Acrobat has stopped working' error. It then tells me to Close the Program.
How do I resolve this?
Thanks and regards
Roxanne

Thanks Pat. I was able to resolve the problem.
OS is Windows 7 Pro, Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.07.
I went into the Properties file where I identified that Users only had Read & Execute and Read properties, I changed properties for Everyone to Full Control. That fixed the problem.
I don't know how the properties got changed to just Read & Execute, but there had been an automatic update the night before.

I have a user getting an error Adobe Acrobat has stopped working how do I resolve this?

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
This happens at a variety of times. Sometimes while scanning sometimes while bookmarking sometimes while adding pages from a file.
What I have done is made sure the program was up to date, a repair install, updated scanner drivers, replace the scanner with a different model, made sure the workstation was current with MS patches. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Thank you,
Brad

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I wasn't clear the version is XI standard. And I did check for updates. The program is current. Still a few times a day the program will crash and my user will have to start over again on the document she is working on. Very frustrating for her and me.
The full error is:
Adobe Acrobat 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.

I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

Provide you have Acrobat 9 installed in an OS for which Acrobat 9 is compatible then you can use the functionality.
As well, you need a scanner connected, powered up, and the software installed. Acrobat 9 "prefers" TWAIN drivers.
Always visit the scanner vendor's site and download - install the latest greatest software.
n.b., The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
As well the Acrobat 9.x product family is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
Be well...

I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro. The application keeps timing out and at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes. The document is 275 pages. Is there something I can do to stop this?

Hi Ricci,
Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?

Help, Adobe Acrobat printing issue

My adobe acrobat printing mess up after I update OSX Mavericks.
All the setup is right for regular print, but multiple image comes out.
Printing via photoshop is normal.
Here's a photo
Anyone have idea what's going on?

The printer is brother hl2270dw. It works fine with acrobat, except the acrobat plug-in under safari. Which means I can not printing file directly from safari, that I have to download then print.

My adobe acrobat x stopped working whenever i'm trying to print a file..can someone tell me why?

starting yesterday , the adobe acrobat in my workplace pc stopped working whenever i try to print something. this problem really troubles me and my work.. please help if someone have the solutions.

O.k. Jacob, I’ll take your word for it. But I know there have been problems saving Word files on Windows.
If you Save As before you Save it somehow messes up the file directory and produces a never-ending series of error reports.
I have got around the problem by copying the text to a new file and making sure to Save the first time.
Then Cancel on the first file, whereupon it seems to relegate itself to the memory hole.
Normally I work on a Mac though. Never had any problems like that there, except that you’re not allowed to use colons in file names.
Accented letters have been known to misread in linked files and are best avoided. Ý and ý are known culprits.

Adobe Acrobat, Print multiple files to PDF and merge open files to closed files?

I have Adobe Acrobat XI Professional.
Print to PDF – How can this be done for more than 15 documents at a time? Right now, if I select 16 or more documents, I cannot ‘right click’ and choose ‘print’. Is this a setting issue? If I have many documents I need to print to PDF at once, it would be helpful if there wasn’t this limitation. Background: This needs to be done to PDF files created from Adobe Live Cycle (and possibly from other software) because the files cannot be merged unless they are ‘printed to PDF’ first. I don't know an alternate way to merge these files.
Also, if I have a multi-page PDF open and I need to parse out the pages to different files, is it possible to drag the selected pages out of the open PDF and hover over a closed PDF and have them added to the end of the closed PDF document? I don't know of a way to do this, but I thought I would check to see if anyone else was aware of a simpler way to parse pages from one document into several pre-existing documents without opening each and dragging the files between them.
Thanks!

Thank you for your response...I can do the additional step to combine them, the problem that I have is that the documents need to be in chronological order. If I print them to the pdf printer or export them, either way, windows sorts them and they are no longer chronological. While I can organize them when I combine them there are many times that there way too many that need combined into one pdf, making it a very inefficient and cumbersome process to do. So I was in hopes there was a way to just have the pdf printer create one file instead of one for each document, it would keep them in chronological order. I suppose I could number them on the print to keep them chronological - but when there are 75 or 100 documents it is a bit of a pain to sit there and respond to each document as it is being printed, and then need to do the additional step of combining. My goal in this process is to gain efficiency so thought I would see if anyone knew how to use the pdf printer to create the single file.

Adobe PDF printer stopped working

Hello!
Windows XP Pro
Acrobat Standard 8.1.3
Office XP
InDesign CS3
Problem with Adobe PDF printer. It used to work fine, but it stopped working last week, whatever application I use to print. The "PDF Creation" window appears, the process seems to start, but suddenly stops in the middle, with with the word "stopped" in the progress box. I tried the repair feature of Acrobat, with no change, then completely uninstalled Acrobat (and deleted the Acrobat 8 folder), but again no luck...
Any hint as to what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance
François

I just did the following, in sequence:
I printed-to-file a document to Adobe PDF printer from Word, and opened the resulting .prn file. The conversion worked. In Distiller, I get this:
Source : extendedloan.prn
Destination : I:\Texte\extendedloan.pdf
Options Adobe PDF : H:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\Standard.joboptions
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[Page: 1]%%
%%[Page: 2]%%
%%[Page: 3]%%
%%[Page: 4]%%
%%[LastPage]%%
Durée de conversion : 00 heure(s) : 00 minute(s) : 04.750 seconde(s)
**** Fin du travail ****
I then tried to print the document (.doc) from Word to Adobe PDF Printer, and got this in Distiller:
Adobe PostScript :3016.102
CID support library initialization completed.
Error in PDFX4 2007.joboptions:
/CheckCompliance out of range
I then tried to print a test file from Printer Properties, and got this from Distiller:
Adobe PostScript :3016.102
CID support library initialization completed.

Thank you guys for trying to help,

Acrobat printer stops working

I am seeing a problem where the Acrobat virtual printer stops working after my system has been running for a while. The symptom is that when printing to the virtual printer, the file appears in the queue, then disappears as if it was successfully printed, but Acrobat never starts up and no PDF is produced. I've tried killing the Acrobat background processes and restarting them but this does not solve the problem. The only solution I've found to work is a system reboot, after which the virtual printer functions correctly for a while but eventually stops working again.
System: Win7Pro 64; core i7 930; 12GB memory; lots of free disk space

I did the following
Ctrl-P to print a page in Firefox
Click Properties...
Select the "Adobe PDF Settings" tab
Change the output from "Prompt for Adobe PDF Filename..." to a specific output folder
At which point the file is printed correctly to the designated folder.
I didn't have to invoke distiller separately
Does this still indicate a problem with Acrotray?

Adobe Acrobat X Pro - Error Message : "Adobe Acrobat Has Stopped Working"

I use Windows 7 - 64bit / CS6 Master Collection that has Adobe Acrobat x Pro.
When the computer is on for a little while, Acrobat would generate the error message that it has stopped working and then shuts down. Once that error message occurs, I cannot get Acrobat to stay open. It opens the PDF document, stays open for a few seconds then the error message occurs and it shuts down.
What helps for a short term is to restart the computer. This seems to temporarily remove the error until the computer is on for a while then the error returns.
This problem repeats. Product repair feature does not work. This has nothing to do with the license, I tried that fix and it made no differnce. I do not have this issue with other Adobe products included in the master collection.
It seems fruitless and frustrating to send a message to Adobe Support, the run around with pages and links is like smacking walls on every turn, it is obvious Adobe does not want people contacting their support. Service from Adobe for their products is poor.
I hope that someone here has the answer to the problem. Anyone?

Ok, here is the update.
The link: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html , leads to a webpage that says to download a fix ZIP file named: "Acrofix.ZIP". It contains the file "acrofix.exe".
I did use this "exe" file about 2 months ago and it did nothing to fix the issue. I used it again today, because the same issue of "Adobe Acorbat has stopped working", occurred again and again it did not work, the problem of "Adobe Acrobat stopped working" presists. Again the only work around, which is temporary, is to reboot the computer.
So far these do not work:
Relicensing or Registering the Licence
Acrofix.exe
Anyone else have an answer? - or am I the only one suffering this really annoying issue?
