Can't create PDF in Acrobat 7.0 Prof.

Since loading my CS2 programs on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer, all of the programs work except Acrobat. When I try to create a PDF from MS Word, I get error messages saying that the PDF printer driver is missing and asks me to reinstall the program..I've done that, but it still gives me the same message. If I try creating it in Acrobat, I get a message that it cannot find the Adobe PDF resource files and asks if I would like to run it in repair mode. I've tried that, but I still get the same error messages. Any ideas?
Thank you,
Denise Wurm

Acrobat 7 just isn't compatible in the Windows 7 64-bit environment.
An excerpt from a KB article from the days of XP x64.
[ http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331732.html ]
Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Setup was unable to create a new item: Adobe PDF Port Printer," when you install Acrobat 7.0 or Acrobat 3D. The Adobe PDF Printer will not be created. Therefore you will be unable to print to the Adobe PDF Printer to create PDF files. Additionally, other PDF creation paths that use the Adobe PDF Printer will fail; this includes the PDFMaker functions in MS Office applications and AutoCAD and the Create PDF From Multiple Files option in the Acrobat file menu.
To create PDF files, create PostScript files and open them in Acrobat Distiller 7.0 to convert them to PDF. For instructions on creating PostScript files for use with Distiller, see document , "Install the AdobePS printer driver to create PostScript and printer files in Windows applications."
This KB article has a link for 64-bit compatibility of Acrobat 7.x, 8.x, and 9.x respectively.

In a Windows 7 64-bit environment if Office 2010 applications are used and it is desired to use Acrobat's PDFMaker then Acrobat X is needed.

Can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word?

Downloaded the 8.1.4 update and now I can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word. If I try to create a PDF from the print menu, I get a message indicating that there are no print drivers for this...any ideas?

Thanks for responding. Yep, I tried repairing it...no dice. Then I realized that I'd re-installed AA Pro 8 (having completely given up on the AA Pro 9 upgrade that crashed my system) but not the updates. So I went through and re-installed each update. Still no dice. Then I did another repair. Nope. When I try to create a PDF via the print menu, I get a "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup." This tells me that I have driver problem. But everything else prints fine, and I'm pretty sure Acrobat doesn't have drivers. I'm stumped...

Can't create PDF files with adobe acrobat professional 8 on windows 7

I running acrobat Professional 8 on Windows 7 64bit. I can only create PDF files while logged on as administrator. I tried adding the user to the Administrators group, but still have the same problem. The system hangs right after adobe promts me for the file name, I provide the file name click save and it hangs when displaying the "printing message'
Any ideas?
Thanks
Fernando

Acrobat Pro 8 is not compatible with Win 7---especially for creating pdfs.

Can I create pdf files from Outlook 2003 messages with Acrobat XI Standard?

Can't create PDFs from Word due to Cambria font. Help.

I'm using win 7 32 bit office 2010 acrobat pro 9. I can't create pdfs from word because of problems with cambria. I've ttried all the fixes I can find but none worked. Any more ideas?
[thread title updated by moderator]

How are you trying to create the PDF? With AA9 you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the MS plugin.
When you say you cannot create PDFs because of Cambria, what error messages are you getting and copy them here? At this point we really do not know what you are having problems with or how you are trying to create PDFs.
In the future, please provide a topic to help folks that are stepping through all of the posts. A blank topic almost led me to simply skip your post.

Can not create PDF files 8

Removed PhotoShop 5 and a few other programs the other day to create more room. Now I can't create PDF files anymore in Excel and AutoCad. When I try, it outputs to my note pad with the following:
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: setdistillerparams; ErrorInfo: CalCMYKProfile U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
Error accessing color profile: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Any sugestions.
I'm useing Acrobat 8 Standard with Windows XP
Thanks
Steve

If the repair does not do the job, then try a different job settings in the printing process. The error you are getting comes from the Distiller step of the PDF creation. You can go in steps if you wish by trying to print to file. Then opening that file in Distiller to see that happens.

Acro8pro/Win XP - can't create pdfs any more - says product not activated - then installs but cycle repeats

I have tried reinstalling product, but this doesn't fix problem

What "exactly" do you mean by "...can't create PDFs any more"? If the product says it's not Activate have you launched Acrobat yet?

Can not create PDFs from Word

I've recently purchased Acrobat XI, and am running it on a Windows 7 x64 machine. I am trying to convert files created in Word 2010.
Method 1: I choose to print from within Word, choose Adobe PDF, and hit the print button. The print spooler picks it up, I see the job in the print queue, and I'm asked for a location to save the file. Once I choose a location the print spooler deletes the print job (as if it were successful) and no file is created. I have tried this with both .doc and .docx files.
Method 2: I drag the file from Explorer over on top of a running copy of Acrobat, Word is opened and I'm asked to choose a location to save the file. Once I do so the Explorer window turns unresponsive, I see a progress bar at the lower right of the Acrobat window that says "Please wait, reading Adobe PDF," and it will sit there for hours with the progress bar almost complete or complete. The only way to get the Explorer window responsive again is to kill the acrobat.exe process.
Method 3: I choose Create PDF within Acrobat, point it to the file, and the same problem occurs as with Method 2.
Changing the destination (from desktop, to documents, to a mapped network drive) has no effect either. Nor does disabline MSE.
I"m not sure what to do next to try and get this to work.

And it started working on its own after Adobe support called me back.
Go figure.

Why i can't create PDF with right format by LiveCycle?

Hello,
As we know that PDF format has four sections, the header, object body, cross-reference table and trailer.
But after I create a PDF by Adobe LiveCycle, and open it by UltraEdit or Notepad, I cannot find the cross-reference table and some objects, “trailer” word either .
I try to download several PDF files by follow link:
https://my.adobeconnect.com/_a295153/p10077996/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=norm al ,
and open them as the same way as before, it was the normal format I learn.
So, why my PDF is not the right format? And how can I create PDF with right format?
Thank you a lot!
Ellie

Adobe LiveCycle Designer makes XFA forms - a thin PDF wrapper around XML, no useful PDF page objects. Still, they are valid PDF. Like any PDF, you might not find a trailer or xref if a cross reference stream is used. See ISO 3200-1 7.5.8 "Cross-Reference Streams".

I can't create PDFs from CS3 programs in Acrobat Pro XI. Compatibility issue or just Acrobat?

I was just upgraded to Acrobat Pro XI this morning. InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator don't seem to be supported file types for creating a PDF from Acrobat. While I usually create my PDFs from the authoring program, I occasionally need to make a lot of PDFs of different files at once, and making them from Acrobat makes sense instead of opening each individual file.
Is this just a compatibility issue? We have requested upgrades to CS6, but it will be a while before it gets approved (if it gets approved). Did someone think it was a brilliant idea not to allow PDFs from the CS products to be created from Acrobat instead of the authoring program?

Can you describe your workflow a little more? Are you saying that you created PDFs of InDesign documents using Acrobat directly -- not using InDesign?
If that was possible in CS3, I must have missed it.
FWIW, I can't select CS6 InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop documents in Acrobat X. You can only select a handful of image formats, HTML or PostScript/EPS.

Can't create PDF, Acrobat not activated

I recently needed to move my system over from XP to Vista since programs were unresponsive due to virus infection. Re-installed CS3 Design Premium which comes with Acrobat 8 Professional.
Had no problem previously creating PDFs, but now sometimes I can and sometimes I can't. When attempting to print from a report obtained from www.intellicorp.net (background check) I get an error message that says the software has not been activated, but it has been. I can print to Adobe from my Windows Calendar.
Tech Support's solution is to deactivate the suite, remove the programs, install Acrobat 8 then install the other components of CS3.
Does anyone have a solution that doesn't involve reinstalling.
Thanks,
Anna

10.5.8 vs. Adobe Acrobat -- Can't create PDFs

Upgraded to OS X 10.5.8 on my G4 Powerbook. Lost ability to create PDFs. Won't create them from the menu on Word, Excel, or when I tell an InDesign item to print as a PDF, for example
If I try to create PDF through Adobe Acrobat (7.1.0) the message says to go through the program in which the document was created (Word, Excel, InDesign).
Any ideas, please?

I can't create pdf files from word 2003 files in acrobat 9 pro any more

Until recently, i was able to make pdf files from word 2003 documents using the "create pdf from file" in acrobat 9 pro. Combining several word documents into 1 pdf was also a piece of cake.
Now, this doesn't work any longer. If i want to select the files, office 2003 files are no longer listed in the supported file formats.
See the picture below

Try running a Repair Installation on Acrobat (via the Help menu).

Acrobat 9 Installed - Now can't create PDFs in Framemaker

I installed the trial version of Acrobat 9. When I went to create a PDF in FrameMaker, I got an error stating that "FrameMaker could not find Adobe PDF printer instance, which must be installed to execute Save as PDF command." Sure enough, I looked at Settings>Printers and Faxes, and there is no longer a driver to create PDFs. It goes without saying that I also cannot Print to file and select PDF as an output format.
What happened?

First, this is pretty obviously nothing to do with FM, but with Acrobat. So you may get more help if you call Adobe support because they offer free installation support or post in the Acrobat forum.
If not:
What OS system are you using and what version of FM?
What version of Acrobat are you upgrading from?
Did the installation complete successfully? Did you reboot afterwards?
