Can't create a PDF using "print" from Office 2010 w/ Acrobat 9.5.1 installed

I've been working on a lengthy Word document for the past three days, upgrading most of the inserted images and straightening out the formatting. Converting the entire 180-odd page document every time I made a few updates is a bit time-consuming. I also noticed that when I converted the entire document as a whole, the quality of some (not all) of the images in the document was significantly degraded. So I'd been using the Adobe Acrobat printer selection in Word to create single page pdf files, and then used the documents tab in Acrobat to insert the new page and delete the undesirable page.
This was working fine for two days. Then I was attempting to print a page, and didn't notice the "Creating a PDF Document" window, nor did I see the requested filename in the target folder. I attempted to print the page a second time, but nothing happened. After closing several open pages, I found the "Creating a PDF Document" pop-up. But the progress bar was stuck at about 20% and never moved. Eventually I closed the pop-up and attempted to print again. The pop-up reappeared but stuck at 20%. Rebooted and got the same. I rebooted again and went into Program and Features and ran repair on both Office 2010 and Acrobat. No change.
I'm operating Win 7 (64 bit) w/ SP1 on an AMD E-350 1.60Ghz processor w/ 8GB of ram. I'm using Office Professional Plus 2010 build 14.0.6112.5000 (32 bit). I've included the System Report below. The only trick I have left is to uninstall and reinstall, but hoping for a more specific solution. Any help would be appreciated.

As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

Adobe 8 printing from office 2010

I am having trouble with Adobe 8. Recently the issues we are having have been increasing rapidly. We have had trouble with 1 machine and formatted it/replaced it 3 times.
We are using more and more 64 bit machines and we still run Adobe 8. We have issues were people cannot print to adobe from office 2010. We fix this with the first update for adobe 8, however after a few days we get the issue again but this time telling us we cannot print to adobe because the printer is not installed when it clearly is.
I believe adobe 8 has compatibilty issues with 64 bit machines and I would like confirmation on this. We are in need of a permanent fix, we cannot go around having to troubleshoot PCs every day because of Adobe. Every day employees need to stop working because of an Adobe issue.
Another issue we have on PCs is "A serious error has occured, reinstalling adobe may fix the problem" well guess what.. it doesn't.
We also have adobe 9 pro but we cannot use it because its only able to be installed onto a PC where another adobe product is installed. But most of the users only use adobe acrobat and whatever else comes with it and are unable to install adobe 9 because in order to do so we need to remove 8 and when you remove 8 you lose the ability to install 9 because you can only install it due to having another adobe product installed on the PC.
These issues are burning through time, time we need to fix actual issues not on adobe 8 constantly playing up.
Thank you

It is Acrobat's PDFMaker that processes Office applications' files to PDF.
The only PDFMaker that supports Office 2010 is that associated with Acrobat X.

How can I create a chart using data (from formulas) in my header columns?

Hello,
I'm wanting to create a chart using formula totals in my header column. When I attempt to click on the chart icon after selecting my header column, the chart button doesn't appear. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Move your formulas in a non header column.
In the cell A2 of the table "aux", the formula is :
=IF(ISBLANK(main :: A2),"",main :: A2)
then I applied Fill Down.

How can I create a pdf but not have it open in acrobat afterwards

I want to be able to create a pdf file but not have it open up in acrobat after it is created.
I am doing this in an Access application that outputs a report to a pdf and then faxes that pdf to a fax number associated with that report. It might loop thru several hundred reports so I don't want to have close several hundred pdfs manually, plus I doubt my computer could even handle that many opened pdf files. Is there someway of configuring acrobat so that it won't open after a pdf is created?
Thank you
Ben Tolsky

Using VBA I open up a report and then use the following code:
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, RptName, acFormatPDF, strFile, 0
RptName is the name of the report
strFile is C:\Reports\test.pdf
It creates the pdf no problem, its just that it opens it up afterwards. I would like it to not open up the pdf in acrobat because I want to loop thru several hunderd reports and fax them to different numbers.

Can I save as pdf when printing from a Java applet on a webpage in Safari?

I am trying to use a webpage that is running a Java applet. A dialog comes up that asks me, "Do you want to run this application?" The dialog also says, "This application will run with limited access that is intended to protect your computer and personal information." I select "Run". The applet generates an image I want to print. There is a "Print" button on the applet. I select "Print". A Security Warning dialog comes up that says, "The applet has requested access to the printer. Do you want to allow this action?" I select "OK". The Print dialog comes up. I choose the PDF button in the lower left corner. I choose "Save as PDF...". A second Print dialog comes up. I input a title in the Save As box. I choose Desktop in the Where box. I do not change anything else and select the "Save" button. A dialog appears that says, "Print Error while printing." There is an icon with paper, a pencil, a ruler and a paintbrush on the dialog.
Is this an issue with Apple and Java security? Does "run with limited access" mean I can't print and save as PDF? Should I upgrade to Mavericks? It seems like others have not been happy with Mavericks and have had problems saving as PDF with Mavericks. How do I let Apple know about this error? The error dialog is useless.
I am on a Mac running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.1.2. My Java version is 7 update 51.
What other information can I provide to help solve the problem (if it can be solved)?
Thank you for your help!

How do I create a PDF using Acrobat 7.0 in Windows 8 from a Visio drawing on a 64-bit system

I used to be able to create a PDF using Acrobat 7.0 from a Visio drawing in XP. Now I'm running a 64-bit system, no Adobe printer can be installed, and it is unsupported. Help?

On a 32-bit system, there is a workaround. I do not think it is possible to get AA7 to work on a 64-bit system (no one has reported success and only 1 has suggested success with AA8). You may be able to print to a PS file and then open that in Distiller. I suspect that is the only way and you will have to find a decent PS printer driver to do it. I suspect the printer driver (and associated AcroTray) will not work in a 64-bit Win8 -- Acrobat and Distiller may.

Can't create a pdf from a Word docx

I downloaded the trial version of acrobat pro dc but it will not allow me to create a pdf. it says to use the print to pdf option but that is not available. i reinstalled it but that did not fix it.

Hi Rahul, please see my answers below:
Are you using 64bit version of office 2010? - 32bit version
Are you able to convert any other file type into pdf format? - jpgs convert to pdf but no other Office file type will
Also, Do you see any 'convert to Adobe pdf' option when you right click a .docx file? - yes the options are there when I right-click but I get a message saying: "Unable to find "Adobe PDF" Printer or "Acrobat Distiller" printer.

Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.

The best way to remove a pattern is to use a Fast Fourier Transform. There's a free plugin (as well as examples and instructions) here:

Using the plugin requires editing the individual colour channels, which PSE does not natively allow. You'll need the reasonably-priced Elements+ addin:
