Can't place pdf

Hi All
There are previous post about this, but none (that i could find) have been resolved.
Windows 7, CS6 x64
When i try and place a pdf, i get the error "could not place xxxx.pdf due to a program error"
error log says:
2013:06:06 13:12:30 : ..\..\sources\PDFUtilities.cpp : 4152 : REQUIRE failed
So it seems as if PDFutilities.cpp is corrupt or not in the place PS thinks it is.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers
Corey

Hi Corey,
If the place operation is successful on all but one workstation, you're probably right that there's something wrong with that machine, and a re-install is the right course of action. Sorry Photoshop isn't being more helpful in troubleshooting, and it's difficult to venture a guess as to what could be wrong, but there certainly are a number of potential problems that can best be resolved by re-installing.
Please let me know what you find, and if there's anything I can do to help.
Paul

  • Can't place pdfs in InDesign CC

    Can't place pdfs in InDesign CC as before - message comes up "Cannot crop to bleed box is not defined, or is empty." What happened?

    That's a new improved error message apparently. The old one just said
    Can't Place PDF (not very helpful, either).
    The options are sticky so the prior PDFs must have had bleed.
    In any event, I'm glad you got it sorted.

  • Can't place PDF file in Photoshop

    I used to be able to place PDF files into a Photoshop file (PSD), but now I get an error reading:
    Cannot place the document 'Document Name.pdf' because of a program error.
    It does not tell me what the error is or how to correct it.
    I recently uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop because of a different issue, so I'd rather not go through that process again if it's unnecessary.
    PC
    Windows 7 Professional
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q9500
    8 GB of RAM
    64-bit Operating System
    Photoshop CC 2014.2.1

    I updated my question to include additional info.
    The PDF saving process is the same. The PDF type, how it was saved, what it was created in, never used to make a difference - not sure why it would now? 
    I can open the file with Photoshop, just can't place it into a PSD. Photoshop does not have issues placing images and other assets. It only has an issue with PDFs.

  • I'm trying to find an app that I can easily place PDFs and view multiple documents like a book or presentation folder. Can someone please help. Thanks

    Hi All,
    I have drop box, have used ibook and still looking for a solution. I have a number of PDF documents, some one page, some multiple pages in both landscape and portrait format. I would like an app that I can easily place multiple PDFs into it and show case them like a presentation or slide deck. Is there an easy app that is like a hybrid of drop box and keynote?
    Thanks,
    Linda

    There are some apps for both PCs and Macs that can be used to combine PDFs into one PDF document.Then you could upload the final PDF to the iPad.

  • 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.

  • How can I place calendars in multiple calendar groups?

    I would like to use a group for each of my family members but reference some of the same calendars from multiple calendar groups. Here is an example:
    Lets say I have a calendar for school, sport1, sport2, activity, family, and work
    I would like the groups to look like this:
    Me: family and work
    Wife: activity and family
    Son_1: school, sport1 and family
    Son_2: school, sport2 and family
    When a group is visible, that person can see the activities in which they participate. When several groups are visible, though, only single copies of shared events would appear and shared events would only have to be entered once.
    Is there a way to do this or do I need to place this on the feedback page?

  • Can't print PDFs from Adobe Reader 7!

    A few months ago I started having problems printing from Adobe Reader 7.
    I can view PDFs fine. I can also view PDFs online through Safari with the Adobe Reader plug in.
    What I've resorted to doing is using Preview to open PDFs that I've saved from Adobe Reader, and I can print fine through Preview.
    But that isn't quite a good fix for me!
    I can also print documents in other formats from plenty of other applications, so I know it's not a printer-talking-to-Mac issue.
    What happens is this - I have a PDF open in Adobe and send it to print. The printer comes up in the dock like its working. After an appropriate amount of time (the time one would expect the document to print), it disappears from the dock as though it is done printing. But no document ever prints. And the printer never displays that it is receiving information to print.
    Yesterday I spent a good chunk of time working on this problem to no avail.
    I ran "detect and repair" in Adobe Reader but no problems were found.
    I threw away Adobe Reader 7 (I think I was up to 7.0.7) and its preferences and other files and downloaded and installed Reader 6. I still couldn't print from Reader.
    I installed patches and updates incrementally to from Reader 6 to 7.0.5 by allowing Reader to update itself, but that didn't help.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. That didn't fix the problem.
    I tried printing the document through Reader as an "image," but it just crashed the Reader.
    I also downloaded and ran "Printer Setup Repair" (something I saw suggested in someone else's post about an Adobe print problem) but that didn't help matters either.
    I'm sort of stumped. I'll also post this to the Adobe forums, but from what I've seen the folks over there are not really Mac users.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Cheers!

    Ann,
    A few more thoughts or your dilemma...You might try looking at your system.log with the utility Console to see if it might give you a clue to the problem. (Not that I understand all the stuff in those logs, but when MS Word and Quark did not produce printouts, the Console log named the problem fonts.)
    The culprit may be the Adobe Reader PPD or Plugin. The path to those are HD/Library/Printers/PPDs/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF7.PPD and HD/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/AdobePDFPDE700.plugin. So if you try deleting Adobe Reader stuff again, be sure to delete those docs too, before re-installing.
    Note: I use Acorbat Pro 7 so I do not know if the filenames ADPDF7.PPD and AdobePDFPDE700.plugin are the same for Reader, but the paths might be helpful.
    Before uninstalling and re-installing both Adobe PhotoShop and Reader, I would suggest that you check the integrity of you hard drive. Overtime, stuff gets out of place and some applications are more sensitive than others. If there is something wrong on the hard drive, replacing the applications will still produce the same problem. Repairing disk is different from repairing permissions. As in my previous post, boot up your computer with your OS 10.3.x Install Disk 1 and launch the Disk Utility app from the CD. Click on Repair Disk...
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't open pdf:s in My documents.

    I have moved My documents to a secondary hdd to save space on c:. I have Win7 pro and i have changed under my userprofile were the directory My documents is.
    The problem is that i can't open pdf-files on My documents with Adobe Reader. I only recieve a message, "There was a problem when this document was opened. Access is denied." (Translated from Swedish)
    I can open the file without any problem if i move it to c:. I don't have any problems with any other type of documents.
    Please help! I use the latest version of Adobe Reader and i have updated windows and drivers.

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for the screenshots and the information.Would it be possible for you to try the following at your end.
    1. Create another folder under C:\ with some Latin Characters such as Ö or ä (as being used in the redirected path for My Documents etc.). Now place any PDF in this folder and try and access the same. Are you able to access it this time?
    2. Redirect the My Documents folder to some other path which does not have any Latin character and see if the issue is still reproducible.

  • Can't make PDFs from Quark using Acorbat 8

    I am using Quark 9
    My acrobat is version 8.0
    When I go to "print" to PDF, Quark prints places the file in it's printing cue.
    It then stops.
    I click resume printing and it begins to print but then stops and disappears from the cue, never creatign a PDF on my desktop.
    Why it stops in the cue is beyond ne, it shoudlnt do that.
    My os is 10.7.5
    By the way, I can make a PDF by exporting from Quark as a PDF but that yeilds a very big file size wise.
    For example a 50-54 meg PDF for a front of a standard size color postcard.
    I need to be able to create a PDF of any documentI am working on and one thats a basic PDF, fro example a PDF of the  postcard I am working on should be around 1-2 megs
    So, I need help in getting acrobat to work properly for me with Quark 9
    Any help appreciated
    Jack Frisch

    I use Quark's print window.
    I set "printer" to Acrobat 8 and PPD to acrobat 8
    I then do standard printer settings: I position my document as centered etc etc.
    I then click Print
    I've used Quark and Acrobat for uses on sight at jobs as well as home.
    I've never had any issues.
    I have'nt  been able to get my current mac at home to work.
    I'm tired of  exporting my documents out of Quark as PDFs under Quark's "file" menu, its not the corrct way and doesnt provided control liek the Quark print window
    It works ok ubtcreates very large file sizes, which is not alwasy good for me

  • PC users can't save PDF form data from form created on Mac

    I'm trying to create a PDF form for a client that will be accessing the form on a PC. However, when the client opens the form, a message appears saying that any data filled in the form cannot be saved and the document must be printed. If the client tries to "Save As" a message appears saying the form will be saved without the data. This defeats the whole purpose of using PDF forms.
    What can I do to allow my client to save data in the form? When I check the permissions on my end, there is no security and no restrictions.
    Developer environment:
    Acrobat 9 Pro
    OSX Snow Leopard
    Client environment:
    Windows 7
    Acrobat Pro X

    Thanks for the quick response, Karl.
    The client downloaded the trial version of Pro X, to verify that the form works before buying. Would the trial version impose restrictions?
    The client does not want to store data on a server. He wants the form to function as a template that he can save-as to customize. The completed forms will be shown on the computer as a part of a presentation, sometimes without Internet access.
    I tried using the Advanced > Extend Form Features options to enable to ability to save form data, but when I tested the PDF on my PC (Vista, latest version of Reader) I got an error message along the lines of "this document has been modified from previous version, please get a copy of the original" and all form fields are gone.
    I'm currently downloading the trial of Pro X so I can test the PDF.
    I am also using a Javascript to allow the client to place photos in the document. This is achieved using a button with a Javascript attached to it: event.target.buttonImportIcon();
    This works correctly in my environment, but could it be screwing up the file as it's opened on a PC?
