Can't create a PDFs on Standard 6.0

I can open a PDF for reading but it won't let me create a new pdf from word or other applications on a new Dell computer. When I open an Adobe document on the new Dell I get a windows prompt saying "There was an error while loading the plug in "PaperMetaData.api. The plug in failed to initialize."
I'm using Windows XP and have been running Adobe successfully on my old Vaio laptop with the same operating system. I have also uninstalled Adobe and then reinstalled it. Still not working. Help.

I assume you are talking about Acrobat, there is no program named Adobe. Did you actually install AA6 Std on the new computer? You just mention a new computer and nothing about installations or anything else. We have no clue what you have done.

    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.

  • Can I create a PDF document that can be commented on by others using READER

    I have dozens (hundreds?) of PDF Books that I've purchased. Whoever created them made them so anyone using Adobe Reader 5 or better can make highlights and comments on the text.  I use the feature to correct typos and send them back to the publisher. I know it can be done because I've been doing it for a few years before I ever got Adobe Standard.
    So . . . My question is . . . How can I create documents like this that can be commented on using Adobe Reader? I have Adobe Standard 8 and I don't see this as a separate feature of Adobe Pro. and I'm hoping that I'm just missing the instructions on how it's done. I do not have any problem doing what I want using Adobe Standard 8 but I need to be able to make it doable in Reader so others can make comments in my documents.
    Thanks for taking the time . . .

    "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" or "Extend Features in Adobe Reader"
    are available with Acrobat 8 Professional / 3D version 8 or Acrobat Professional / Pro Extended respectively.
    Additionally, Adobe provides a server based service (LiveCycle ES) that "enables/extends" a PDF such that Adobe Reader can  be used for Comment, Review, Digital Signature, etc.
    That you can use Adobe Reader to comment on PDFs means one of the above applications were used.
    Because you have mentioned the PDFs are purchased PDF Books I suspect that LiveCycle ES was used.
    This server based application (which has a myriad of "modules" available) is expensive so, typically, it is licensed by enterprises that need its functionality. Examples: the large publishing houses or governmental agencies (e.g., IRS).
    If you move up to Acrobat Professional you will be able to "Extend Features in Adobe Reader" such that others can perform Comment & Review on your PDF documents.
    As Acrobat 9.x is the current, marketed release the Professional version would be available to you via an upgrade (not to be confused with the free "updates").
    Be well...

  • Can you create a PDF in Designer that allows pictures to be later pasted in to it?

    I need to create a PDF that will allow our customers to copy/paste screen shots in to the created PDF document. I have tried this with a dynamic PDF and cannot get it to work. Any ieas if it is possible? And if so how.
    Any advice much appreciated.

    Hi Caroline,
    The issue is that the form you are using has not been Reader Enabled and (by the error message) you are using Reader.
    This means that you will not be able to save the data inputted into the form (including an image into the image field).
    If you are using Reader, then the form needs to be reader enabled in order to give the ability to save data inputted into the form.
    This can be done in two ways:
    (1) If you have Acrobat Standard (v9) or Acrobat Professional (v8 or below), then there is a menu item that will allow you to enable the form. However there are license restrictions (see EULA).
    (2) Using the full LC enterprise Suite Reader Extensions to apply the reader rights. This is a server component and is €€€€.
    I have a summary on the Adobe Cookbooks that summarises the differences in deploying a form and the restrictions that are in place depending on whether the user has Acrobat or Reader and how the form was reader enabled (if at all).
    Summary here: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Using_LiveCycle_Forms_in_Acrobat_and_Reader-16518.html
    The sample in the previous post was not reader enabled and this is why you got the error.
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • 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.

  • How can I create a PDF contact sheet of photos in finder

    I'm trying to create an automator workflow/action (or service) that will allow me to select a set of photos in the finder and then create a PDF contact sheet that will include the Photo filename. I know that I can select photos and open in preview, but these do not include the filename with the photo in the saved PDF.
    I'm a newbie with Automator, but i gave it a try myself.
    In the Automator PDF Library, there is an action called "New PDF contact sheet", however I can't seem to be able to get it to work. I dragged that action to the workflow and then added "Get Selected Finder Items" before that.
    It appears to run it--an "application"/window appears titled "MakePDF" and it appears to run through the selected photos. However, at the end (after it asks for the file name to save it with), it says that "The action “New PDF Contact Sheet” encountered an error--check the actions properties and try running the workflow again".
    What am I leaving out of the workflow?

    There is a bug in the *New PDF Contact Sheet* action in that it is looking for the Leopard version of a file that moved and changed in Snow Leopard.
    Snow Leopard has a newer version of a support application MakePDF.app in the */System/Library/Image Capture/Automatic Tasks* folder, but as mentioned the *New PDF Contact Sheet* action seems to still require the older version of the application, which in Leopard is located in the */System/Library/Image Capture/Tools* folder. If you have access to a Leopard installation, you can copy the MakePDF.app from Leopard and place it into the same location in Snow Leopard (/System/Library/Image Capture/Tools) - this will get the action working again.

  • How can I create a PDF with flowing columns?

    I need to write a script that takes my input data and creates a PDF file that has flowing columns - that is to say, where I give it a long chunk of text and that text is automatically broken into two columns where the text flows down column 1 and when it hits the bottom of the page it starts filling up column 2.  I've been playing with enscript and pstopdf and they can do that, the problem is that I also need some sections of the PDF that aren't in 2 columns.
    I can probably explain this better with an example - assume my long chunk of text is the alphabet, I need my PDF to look like this:
    [Page 1]
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Header 3
    A   E 
    B   F
    C   G
    D   H
    [Page 2]
    I    K
    J   L
    Header 4
    Header 5
    M   N
    [Page 3]
    O   R
    P   S
    Q   T
    I tried generating an HTML file and converting the HTML to PDF inside Safari, but while the HTML looks good, WebKit drops the ball and forgets about the columns when converting to PDF.
    Is there a way to create the document in sections and then somehow combine them into one final document?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I see I forgot some important points, sorry ...
    This needs to be part of an automated process, the data will be different each time which makes it difficult to calculate how much will fit in a given column on a specific page.
    The machine doing the processing does not have Microsoft Office on it, but I could install Open Office for sure and possibly Pages, although I don't know their scripting languages so I'm not sure whether that would take more time than I have ...
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • How can I create one pdf from a FrameMaker Book with mixed page sizes.

    Looking for an easier way to create one pdf from a FrameMaker book that has files with different pages sizes; letter and tabloid.
    So far, I have not been able to find a way to set up the Adobe PDF printer or Distiller to read the page size from the source files in the book and then create one pdf with the appropriate page sizes based on the file sizes in the FrameMaker book. I can create a pdf of the book using a multi-step process where I create a pdf for each page size and then combine them into one file. This is a lot of work.
    Is there a way to set the Adobe PDF printer where it reads page size from the source files and then creates one pdf with a mixed page sizes?
    Using FrameMaker 7 and 10 and Acrobat X Pro.
