Adobe Print will not create files in Network Locations

Hi,
We've just installed 5 new Win7 64bit machines on our network which were shipped with Acrobat Standard X.  The server is Windows 2003 SBS.
2 out of the 5 machines can only use Adobe PDF Printer to create pdf's to the local drives rather than the shared network drivers.  These users (including myself as Administrator) have full access and control over the network drives and have no other connection issues.  The printer settings are identical on all the new PC's and the port is Documents\*.pdf
The error message is simply "error-printing" in the What's Printing dialogue box, no other pop ups or notifications. 
There are no further details in the Event Viewer.
Win7 suggests making the Adobe PDF the default printer, which does not resolve the issue.
I have tried CutePDF as an alternative, which does fullfill this function, but I do not want individual users on different software, and certainly do not want to set a precedent myself!
I've tried searching on this formum, but pdf "printing" and "creation" seem to be interchangeable phrases for various problems!
Thanks in advance for any help,
Andy.

As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

  • Printer will not stay connected to network

    The printer will no longer stay connected to the network.  If we turn the printer off and back on again it will print but shorly after it says "The printer is not connected.  Again, turning it off and back on again will allow it to connect.  Tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, did not make a difference.   The firmware is the latest and all drivers are up to date.
    Solution??  I have two kids in college and this is becoming very frustrating.
    Thank you,

    Hi @jraitt , I would very much like to help you with your 6500a plus.
    Please use the following document to troubleshoot the issue, and let me know the outcome of your efforts; Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    As a work around, if the issue persists, you could connect an Ethernet cable from the printer to the router. This will disable the wireless in the printer and possibly allow a more stable connection. If however you connect an Ethernet cable and the issue persists, we will then know the issue is not the printer at all and is the router.
    I hope this helps.

  • My printer will not connect to the network and i cannot find drivers for it

    Hello vikagor,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you are talking about cellular data not phone calls that's the issue.
    For troubleshooting cellular data issues please see:

    Note the first symptom is, "No connection over cellular network, but works over Wi-Fi".
    Take care,

  • "Export Song to Disk" will not create file

    So, I've been trying to bounce my GarageBand song for a few days now using the Share>Export Song to Disk option and nothing ever comes out. I uncheck "Compress" and I save it to my desktop, it completes the mixdown and normalizes the track and completes but when I check my desktop, there is nothing there. The project itself is 71.8 MB in size. I have already deleted the com.apple.garageband.plist file from my library but it did not help. Any ideas?

    Make sure the file name isn't too long. There's a known glitch where project names longer than around 28 or so characters won't export to disk. That's the only thing I can think of.
    Also it won't be on your desktop unless you choose that location when exporting.

  • Download of firefox and adobe flash will not install file corrupt message

    cannot install firefox or adobe flash get file corrupt message:
    cannot play videos

    Try installing from the Offline Installer. It may be a temporary folder permissions error, so this may fix it. Here is a link to try to download from:
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe
    If that doesn't work, try this one: http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/
    Let me know if this works!

  • Adobe 11 will not read my files.

    I have downloaded Adobe 11 several times, with and without the anti-virus set, and though it recognises my files Microsoft reports it had 'encountered a problem and is closing it down' when I try to open them.  When I restore the system to Adobe 9 it opens my old files but, obviously, not those in '11' format.  Any ideas?

    Well, it's like this.  Someone sends me some printed  information.  A bill.
    A report ,  It downloads.  I try  to open it and it tells me I need Adobe
    Reader 11 to do so and gives me a  link.  .  I download from the link.  It
    takes an age but in the  end it tells me I have successfully downloaded Adobe
    Reader 11. When I try to  open the file Microsoft tells me they have
    encountered a problem and are closing  it down.  When I try to open any of my
    saved Adobe Reader files I then  get the same message.  I have to use System
    Restore to get the facility of  Adobe Reader 9  back.  Then it opens my saved
    files again.

But it managed to create its own network where i can print wirelessly by selecting it sort of like bluetooth… I have installed different softwares from the hp website and looked at so many different forums but i cant find the answer. I have reset the printer and wireless network and god knows whatelse. I can also print fine through the usb cable, it just will not connect to my wireless network. I am going crazy P.S. once upon a time it was connected to my wireless network but i cant remember what happened. 
    So can someone please help and please dont be too technical

  • Adobe Indesign & Illustrator CS6 will not open files off server after Mac Maverick update.

    I updated to Mac OS X Maverick and all the sudden my InDesign and Illustrator will not open files off of my works network.  I read somewhere about installing the new Java update may help fix it, but I tried it and it did not. I have restarted my computer and reset the connection to the server multiple times, but it does nothing.
    The exact message I get is:  "Cannot open the files "xxxx.indd" Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or the file may be open in another application"  I know for a fact that it is not open in another application so it is not that. I have tried multiple files on the server as well.
    For Illustrator, I try to open a file from the server and it just freezes and does not respond so I have to force quit.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

    If you had asked before you did this I would have told you not to move to Mavericks unless you were prepared for problems. I’m not a proponent of upgrade installations for operating systems and there’s no way to eliminate that as the cause.
    That said, before you start erasing the whole machine, try uninstalling CS6 and then reinstalling it. You might want to run the cleaner tool after the uninstallation.

    pdf pack will not create a pdf from a tiff file    conversion failure    Why

    Hi David Turner,
    What is the exact error message which you are facing while converting the file from .tiff  format to PDF format.
    As per my knowledge, PDF Pack supports conversion from .tiff format to PDF Format -Different File formats that Adobe PDF Pack supports.

  • Photoshop CS6 Will not open files\create new\function properly

    Hello,
    I have a licensed Photoshop CS6 installed on Windows 8.1 64bit.
    This morning the software has started to have the following issue:
    Photoshop will not create any new files (With the exclusion of spamming CTRL+N I have managed to open a new project)
    Photoshop will not load an existing file through its panel of any format (double click on file yet nothing happens)
    While trying to use any tool I have noticed that some of the clicks (Mouse or Keyboard) do not go through - some of them are being generated and some are not.
    Sometimes Photoshop will not respond to clicks - if I drag a window other it forcing explorer to refresh the desktop the changes are being shown - otherwise Photoshop will remain stuck
    After browsing the web for hours I have noticed a few people had similar issues as I have yet non of the steps which helped them to solve this issue have done any good to me.
    I have taken the following steps:
    Turned off "Use Graphic Processor"
    Re-booted my computer
    Re-installed Photoshop
    Updated my graphic card's drivers
    I have read another thread talking about some Nvidia cards which encounter issue with drivers yet I'm using an Radeon card - My PC spec:
    Intel i7-3770 @ 3.4GHz
    8GB RAM
    ATI Radeon R7 200
    Windows 8.1
    I have made the following video which describes the issues: (The black screen is me popping ALT+CTRL+DEL)

    Thank you in advance!

    We've heard of a few examples of this - but they always seem to come down to other applications interfering with UI in Photoshop, malware, or needing to reinstall the OS.
    There have only been a handful of reports, and we haven't been able to isolate the cause - but we know that it is something outside of Photoshop.  Sometimes it works shortly after rebooting the system, but then fails until the system is rebooted again (very strong evidence that the cause is outside of Photoshop).  A few people have reported that after reinstalling the OS, the problem went away.

  • Adobe reader will not open pdf files I have saved as, or, export as pdf to my desktop (latest Maverick). The same file does open when I am on the source website (i.e. user manuals etc.). Why?

    Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

    Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.
