Bad Parameter

When inserting or deleting pages out of a pdf on occasions I get the 'bad parameter' message and am not able to insert/delete pages.
I have searched this for a long time and can not find anything apart from having to combined files and print to pdf, then being able to insert or delete pages, however I do not require to combine.
Surely Acrobat has a fix for this now? Would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Converted MS Word 2007 to Adobe Acrobat 9 random "Bad Parameter" Error

Question: I Converted MS Word 2007 file which contained 892 pages into Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard afterwards and while needing to update only certain pages I receive the "Bad Parameter" Error. My process is using drop down Document/Extract pages(make my updates)/Replace pages into complete PDF file/ usually with no problem then towards the last pages of the PDF the Error showed up! I believe that it’s possible, the conversion initially may have allowed many tags to be written correctly but some are corrupted. It could be a buffer-overflow failsafe that is having an adverse effect against the two programs because of the file’s size? I have seen some good advice come from many people on this site like "Bill@VT" and "CtDave" and others so I am humbly requesting assistance? Some additional background information is I have to keep the file size the same and I cannot print to PDF file from Word due to a specific format I must keep and most of the PDF is not corrupt: meaning receiving the "Error". I would like to know if the error that seems to be due to the conversion process can be corrected. I have provided some additional similar post below from other customers that may be useful as reference material? R/ Thanks in advance!
“Like 10 others, I get a "bad parameter" pop-up window when I try to delete 1 or more pages from a PDF created from Adobe 8 Pro from Microsoft Word 2007. Of the 3 computers we have tried to delete the pages, we are running Windows XP and Office 2007 on all. But 1 computer has Adobe 7 Pro, one has Adobe 8 Pro, and the 3rd has Adobe 9 Pro. None are able to delete or extract the pages -- we get the bad parameter error each time we try. The PDF has 260 pages and occupies 5.7 MB memory. What additional information can I provide to get a resolution to this problem? Thanks!” “Civilengr10” (posted Aug 17, 2010)
“I am taking adobe files from a database, saving them, and then making changes to them by inserting (from other adobe files from the same database) or deleting pages. Very basic stuff! However, sometimes when I want to insert pages, it will insert them but then say "bad parameter". After that point, I cannot delete any pages. It will give me the "bad parameter" error again and not delete. I have reduced the file size, ran "Examine Document" and removed whatever it wanted me to, and whenever I save a file, I do Save As...instead of Save! Also, under preferences > security I have the "Verify signatures when the document is opened" unchecked. None of these recommendations that I have read elsewhere work. Can someone offer me some guidance? I am working on the files locally. I save the files from the database unto my own folder on the computer. The thing is, some of the files I download from the database are fine and do not give me any error, but others do. Do you know how I can fix the files that are corrupted from the database?” “hoda64” (posted July 22, 2009)
“Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9
I have a Word 2007 DOC (not docx) file with pictures and text which converted perfectly with Distiller 8. I installed CS4 Distiller 9, and now the same DOC file flows over onto several extra pages. I am using the default settings. Any idea what has changed? Thanks in advance. “Petrula” (posted Nov 29, 2002) “First, select the Adobe PDF printer in WORD. Then go through the document to check for the flow of the document. It should print the same as you see in the document after the printer has been selected.”

For the replace and delete pages, I can only guess that you are messing up some of the bookmarks or links in the page from what I think you have based on the description. I would work on copies between each stage so that you can at least go back to the last success stage. If possible, you are better to go back and do the modifications in the original page and the recreate the PDF. If that is not possible, then maybe a better explanation of how you are creating the PDF would help folks understand your process fully and suggest a solution.
On the latter, I would do a repair on Acrobat. However, it may be in the process you are using in the conversion from WORD. How are you creating the PDF from WORD? Have you updated AA9 and not simply have 9.0? The confusing point is that you talk about Distiller for getting the PDF from WORD. Distiller is often involved, but only behind the scenes and normally you either print to the Adobe PDF printer, use PDF Maker, or use the MS plugin for PDF creation. So when stating Distiller, it is unclear what process you are using since none of the methods I mention state the use of Distiller even if it is used in the background.

Redaction error: Bad parameter

I am using Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 on Windows XP. I have spent about 90 minutes redacting an 83-page document. When I ran the "Apply Redaction" command, the progress bar showed the program going through the pages till 83. But it gave an error message "Bad parameter." Beginning at page 16, some items are redacted and others are left marked for redaction (i.e., a red box is around the text).
Has anyone run into the problem before? Is there a solution?

BAD PARAMETER Error when Deleting Pages in Acrobat

When I attempted to delete pages in Acrobat Standard, I received an information error stating:
Bad Parameter
When I try to click ok on the error message, it just keeps coming back over and over again. There is no way to get rid of the error message so I am forced to end the program using the Windows Task Manager.
Has anyone seen this error message before and if so, is there a fix?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

Hello,
This is an incredably annoying error. I had a complete manuscript ready for print, except I needed to delete one page, which of course Acrobat would not let me. I had spent a considerable amount of energy on the page numbering, bookmarks etc., so creating a completely new PDF by for example printing to PDF was out of the question.
In the end, I ended up extracting all the pages in the document, except the one I wanted to delete. This way, I ended up with a new PDF, but all of the bookmarks, page number formatting, etc. migrated together with the extracted pages to the new document.
Hopefully, Adobe will be able to fix this issue soon.

Signature properties -- Bad parameter

Hi,
I have a strange problem. I wrote a plugin with Acrobat SDK 6.0 for Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader which signs and verifies PDF documents. I have a problem with a certain signature. I can't view the signature properties. Acrobat says "Acrobat error. Bad parameter.". I change the signature handler to "Adobe Default Security" verify the PDF document, change the signature handler back to my plugin and verify again. Then the signature properties are shown.
Is it a problem that the document is PDF version 1.2?
I have no idea!
Thanks, for every help!
Christian Wiesbauer

Thanks for your reply!
Ok! Version 1.2 does not support digital signatures! But why does Acrobat verifies the document correctly and doesn't say "incorrect version" or something like that.
I created this document by conversing a version 1.5 to version 1.2 by an external application!
Best regards,

"Bad parameter" when starting Acrobat XI Pro (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit)

The first time I start Acrobat XI Pro each day (whether directly by clicking on the Acrobat icon or indirectly by clicking on a PDF file), I receive a "bad parameter" screen and I can't go any farther with the program. At that point, I close Acrobat. For the rest of the day, when I start Acrobat again, the program opens without a hitch. I've searched the Adobe Forums (and more broadly using Google), but I have not found any discussion of the "bad parameter" startup problem, just discussions about encountering "bad parameter" when trying to delete pages. Any explanation for the startup problem? Any cure? Thanks.

Try going to HELP and first running a repair, then run the updates until you are at 11.0.06.

Getting an error "bad parameter" while saving

Hi,
I am trying to open a particular pdf in IE9 browser from my application and trying to save PDF file to my computer. I observed that Save option is disabled for that PDF file in IE9 browser. When I try to save the same file using Ctrl+Alt+S option, I am getting an error "bad parameter". I am not getting any further details on this issue. I am able to save same PDF in IE8 and mozilla browsers. Can you please help me in solving this issue.
Please find below my environment details.
Os: Windows 7
Browser: IE9
Adobe Reader Version: 11.0.03.
PDF template is created using Adobe PDF Creater 11.0.03.

Two things I would try:
update to Reader 11.0.5
try saving the PDF without opening it in Adobe Reader (right-click on link, then Save target as...)

Bad Parameter ! box

Hello,
I have a message box which pops when I run my code, but it
doesn't look like a error with my code, its a smaller warning sign
message box saying "Bad Parameter" I haven't put a alert box like
this anywhere in my code. My code is using a shockwave 3D sprite
and connect to shockwave multiuser server on local machine. What do
you think this error could be? A bug with director? or with a Xtra?
I'm using havok, and 3DPI as well.
Cheers for any replies

besides creating message boxes of your own, Diretor will spit
out errors in a message box if there is any errors in your scripts,
depending on if you are in author mode or runtime mode, When you
get an error in athouring mode, and you get an error, this means
there is a peice of code that Driector does not understand at all.
For example, lets say you wanted to move a sprite on the stage 5
pixels down the stage. The correct dot syntax to do so is like
so....
sprite(1).locV = sprite(1).locV + 5
... but lets say you made a mistake and typed this in...
sprite(1).locV = sprite.locV + 5
doing this and after you press the compile button or close
the script window, you would get an error window that looks simular
to as you calling the alert handler stating...
"Script Error: Operator expected"
sprite(1).locV = sprite.?locV + 5
In addition, you can also have errors at run time. An example
of this would be somthing like so...
lets say we still want to move this sprite 5 pixels down, but
this time you want this to happen when you call a custom handler.
Now the correct way of doing this can be something like this...
property pTimer
on beginSprite
pTimer = the milliseconds
end beginSprite
on exitFrame me
if (the millseconds - pTimer) = 1000 then
moveMe(me)
pTimer = the milliseconds
end if
go to the frame
end exitFrame
-- Note the code below is the custom handler that needs to be
inside the same script or else you will get an error at runtime
on moveMe me
sprite(me.spriteNum).locV = sprite(me.spriteNum).locV + 5
end moveMe
... now if you did not have the moveMe custom handler inside
the above script then at runtime you would get the same error
window stating this
"Script error: Handler not defined
moveMe(me)
#moveMe"
So what I am saying is, your error is a script error that
Director is spiting out because there is something wrong with your
code, and we can not help you if you do not post your script in
here.

Hi mrssarahswritingclass,
You need to make sure that you have permission to make changes to the document.
How to check the permission. Open the pdf document in Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
Click on File --> Properties. Once the properties windows pops up, click on security tab. Under security please check Restrictions Summary:
