Can't create PDFs - Distiller Errors

I'm running a Mac Dual Intel with 10.5.8 and CS3.  I had a problem the other day when opening a PDF file which resulted in being unable to boot up completely.  To resolve the problem I initially tried to reinstall the OS while saving users & network, which didn't work.  I was then able to create a new user and get going.  Everything is working except creating PDFs.
If I try to print to a pdf it just spools, sits for a few seconds and then stops.  If I print a .ps file and try to distill it, I get the following error message:
%%[ Error: undefinedresource; OffendingCommand: findresource ]%%
Stack:
/ProcSet
/RRCustomProcs
/Title
-mark-
/dscInfo
-dict-
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I have used the original CDs to uninstall & reinstall Acrobat 8 with no luck.  I still get the same message.  Any ideas?

I haven't moved up to OSX 10.5 yet, but I was wondering if you can do what I do in 10.4
In the Print Dialog window in the bottom left is a PDF button. Click on that and you have the option "Save PDF as Postscript". And then drop your postscript file onto Distiller.

  • 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

    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.

  • Crystal Server 2013: How to troubleshoot "Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357"

    We have a Java7 web app, which generate PDF report by calling Crystal Server 2013 SP4.
    The app is being deployed on many different servers. We sometimes got the error below when generating report:
    com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357 [CRSDK00000615] Error code name:internal
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.controllerExportInternal(PrintOutputController.java:280)
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:152)
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:130)
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:113)
    Problem is, this seems to be  a pretty generic exception. It could be caused by many different reasons.
    e.g. network connection problem, wrong DB login, wrong folder path, lack of folder access right, etc.
    Each time we could only guess what's wrong.
    We are running into it again, and this time everything seems correctly configured so far.
    We wonder if there are more info we can get to troubleshoot? For example, any log file of Crystal Server we should look into? Or does Crystal Server has debug mode which prints more details to tell us what goes wrong?

    Hi Henry,
    I believe you are using RAS SDKs to export the reports to PDF.
    Apply trace on RAS server and check what you find in RAS logs.
    Check whether you can see timeout error is RAS logs. Usually if connection is lost and the RAS server no more have the session to write to the temp directory, we do see these errors.
    Also, does the account that runs RAS have permissions to create a file in RAS's default temp directory? Are you getting any out of memory or out of disk space exceptions on App server or RAS, tracing RAS server is the way to move forward.
    Thanks,

    Yes
    >>Apply trace on RAS server and check what you find in RAS logs.
    >>Check whether you can see timeout error is RAS logs.
    How to configure tracing, and where are RAS logs? Is it configured in CMC --> Servers --> Crystal Report Services?
    >>Also, does the account that runs RAS have permissions to create
    >>a file in RAS's default temp directory?
    Pretty sure yes.
    >> Are you getting any out of memory or out of disk space exceptions

    Not on App server.
    For RAS, that's the problem, I am not sure where to look.......

  • PDF - Printing in OSX 10.5.4  Can't create PDF/X-3 document

    This random error is not really causing me some trouble! - If anyone has information as to how to fix this, please let me know.
    When I select print to PDF/X in the OS X drop down menu, everything works fine until I get an ALERT: "Couldn't create PDF/x-3 document. "
    I use PDF/X all the time as it's best for printing magazine ads that I have to design for my company.
    This feature used to work fine on my Mac. - Nothing has changed to cause this.
    this is what I've tried:
    I've created another User account and switched over - still I get the couldn't create PDF/X error.

  • 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.

    Hi,
    We face the same problem with some BI4 reports.
    The same report works well with the "Crystal Reports Viewers API", as used in Infoview, but not with the "Report Application Server (RAS) API".
    This error appears after some time working on a report. If we reproduce the same report, but from zero, no problem.
    Hope it can help.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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...

  • 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".

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

    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?

  • 42001 Presenter Publish Error  Can't create uploader unknown error

    42001 Presenter Publish Error Can't create uploader unknown
    error
    Well I guess that about says it all. I cannot publish ANY of
    my Presenter files to Connect Pro... Do I need to do a Presenter
    reinstall?

    I know this is from 2010 but I just started with a company that uses this software and we are receiving this same error.  I tried doing the regsvr32 ppsuplo.dll  but came back with the following result "  The module "ppsuplo.dll " failed to load.  Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files.  The specified module could not be found.  I then looked in the program files folder for presenter and found the file right there.  Then tried using the repair option without any luck.  Anyone have an idea of what else we can do?

    I have Adobe CS3 Master Collection installed.
    I installed a CS4 beta (Fireworks) and at that point became unable to print (create PDFs). I can do other things with Acrobat Pro (combine files, etc).
    I've uninstalled CS4, used the CS4 cleaner script after installation and uninstalled the entire Master Collection CS3 and reinstalled CS3. The rest of the suite works fine. Adobe PDF 8.0 did not reappear in my printer list.
    I added the PDF printer and here are the settings:
    Status: Stopped
    Print Server: Local
    Driver Version: 10.4
    Default: Yes
    URI: pdf800://distiller

    I'd appreciate any help!!!!

  • 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

    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.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403291.html
    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.

  • Bug report?-Can't create PDF's using scanner presets

    Help!
    Acrobat 10.1.0
    Windows 7 64bit
    Lexmark Prevail Pro705 using USB connection
    After about an hours use today I suddenly found that couldn't create a pdf via my scanner using the PROGRAMME PRESETS (which are now greyed out). To the best of my knowledge no update or other machine activity took place before the time I lost preset use.
    I can scan using the CUSTOM SCAN and then selecting WIA-Lexmark Pro700 Series from the Input Scanner dropdown box. If I click Lexmark Pro700 Series TWAIN and then try to proceed, Arcobat freezes. If I try to select    and adjust the presets I get an error message, ‘The scanner last used by Acrobat does not support preset scanning. Please select another scanner’.
    I can scan a PDF via the Lexmark utility and create a PDF that way so I’m assuming that is using WIA?
    I’ve down loaded Twacker 64 and opening FILE – SELECT SOURCE there is nothing listed.
    Occasionally when I have just let the prog to try and scan after selecting the TWAIN setting in the  CONFIGURE PRESETS after a time,  I get an error message asking that I disconnect / reconnect the USB cable /restart the computer. I’ve tried doing this with no change. Acrobat then reports, ‘ Scanning cancelled.’
    I’ve checked for Lexmark, Adobe and Windows updates – nothing.
    I’ve tried ringing Adobe and after hanging on for over an hour gave up.
    Any ideas what I can do to restore the preset/TWAIN feature?

    Hi Amit,
    Thank you for the input.
    After spending just under 2 hours on the phone to Adobe Support yesterday I have just received a product update which I'm pleased to say has corrected what must have been a prog bug.
    Hope you have a great day and thank you again for taking time to suggest a fix.
