Cannot convert from excel to adobe (using acrobat 8 standard)

Document will begin conversion and then just get stuck forever in an unending loop. When I cancel the program (excel) get a prompt that says that Acrobat was unable to complet PDF process!!! Help!!!

Open the file in Excel. Then go to the FILE menu and select print. Chose the Adobe PDF printer and see if you get a PDF -- all of the other Acrobat processes depend on this printing process. If not, report what error messages you get. I suspect that you have deactivated AcroTray.exe that is a required part of the conversion part. If you like to test the latter, use the print-to-file option in the printer dialog, then open the file in Distiller to complete the process. The latter should either give you a PDF or a mess of error messages telling you why not.

Converting from Excel to Adobe PDF

I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional and Windows XP. The excel worksheet is on a landscape page and reduced to say 65%. It has wording on the left side that stretches through five cells. Some of the wording gets cut off. Maybe the last letter gets cut off in half, but not all the words in different cells get cut off. Some of the wording that does not get off go beyond the cells that do get cut off. This happens on some worksheets. The next worksheet can have the same page setup and nothing happens. One of the solutions we have found is that we have to add 3 spaces to the last word of the cells that is being cut off. That seems to fix the problem. Another is that we print the page in excel (works perfect) and then e-fax the page to ourselves and inserted in the document. But doing this last things keeps us from printing a final version for the client, since there is a difference. Any solutions that could solve this?

Change your printer to the Adobe PDF printer and then set the cell sizes in Excel. This is just the normal Excel adjustment to the printer.

How can I export from Excel to pdf using Acrobat Std to achieve uniform page size throughout the whole pdf document?

After exporting the whole workbook to a single pdf file, page sizes are inconsistent. When viewing the document in full screen, some pages show up as 25% zoomed, others as 34%. I could re-print the exported pdf file to pdf in Acrobat Std, and that way I could get the same page size throughout the document, but then I loose my bookmarks, which I don't want.
I have already set the page size to A4 in Excel, but that's not where my problem lies. any help, hint is appreciated.

A good place to start is Karl Heinz Kremer's blog, where he has a few examples:

How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'? And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open? When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99. I never wanted Acrobat. How can I get -

How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?
Please reply to my e-mail: [email protected]

It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

Can't convert files to pdf using Acrobat 8 Standard or 9 Pro

I am having a major problem. I have tried converting both Word 2003 and Excel 2003 documents to pdf using Acrobat 8 Standard (I can't recall which version because I uninstalled and installed a trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro) and Acrobat 9 Pro. I have tried to convert directly from the open document and through Acrobat using create from file. In every instance the process starts and then stops after a few moments. When I try the conversion from within Acrobat, I get the following error message: " Pdf conversion failed, please correct the error and retry." When I try the conversion directly from Word or Excel, the conversion starts, stiops suddenly and gives no error message. I have had Acrobat 8 Standard installed for a couple of years. It worked fine on this computer until the problem started a week ago or so. There have been no software or hardware changes that woudl trigger suspicion.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 8 Standard version. I have uninstalled the 8 Standard version and installed the 9 Pro trial version. I have run the repair module on both versions. I'm sure it is something simple but I just can't figure out what the "error" is that I need to "correct". Any suggestions?
As an aside, I have several Adobe programs (Photoshop CS5, Contribute 3 and Acrobat), all of them expensive. Their business model of offering no unpaid support (even for this type of problem) is one reason I hate Adobe more than Microsoft... but I rant.

When you uninstalled, you should have used the MS Installer Cleanup utility. It cleans up a lot of the junk left over in the registry. You should have also deleted the Acrobat folder. Then you would reinstall. You did not indicate your OS and it may be that you need to update the AA8 to get it to work correctly. Also, the installs and uninstalls can mess up your registration process if you are not careful. If you uninstall the AA9 trial, you will not be able to reinstall it for use. At this point, I can only suggest you do a repair of your installation and be sure you have all of the updates.

Error converting web page to PDF using Acrobat 8 IE 9 on Vista

I am getting the following errow when I try converting web page to PDF using Acrobat 8 on IE 9 on Vista. This worked previously but it appears that a recent update to Acrobat caused issues with this functionality. This happened once before and after some troubleshooting the technician wasable to get the functionality working again. The Adobe printer shows up with "Error" however I can still create PDFs from outlook.
Error Has Occurred

The numbering format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

The numbering in (Contents) format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

The issue is that I have made up a contract in Word.
The second page has a list of all contents of the contract.
gghhjhhbhbhhbhbjbhj....1
bv v vghvjvjnnnnnnnnn....2
When we convert to PDF some of the numbers change. Example 20 becomes 201.
Your help is appreciated.

Converting PDF to JPG using Acrobat XI Standard

I know I can convert a PDF into a JPG using Acrobat Pro but I'm wondering if I can do the same using Acrobat XI Standard. The only thing I've read online is that Standard can convert PDFs into Excel, Word or Power Point docs.

Yes, you can do this with Acrobat XI Standard. The only export feature that is not available in Std. is the ability to convert to PowerPoint.

Error:Type mismatch: cannot convert from Long to Long

hi friends,
I've a problem.I've a JSP that does some long converions,and its working fine when i make it run on my machine i.e
(Running Tomcat5.0),but when I deploy this file on the server which runs Tomcat 5.5.7,it throws this error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: 20 in the jsp file: /abc.jsp
Generated servlet error:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from Long to Long
Can anyone of you,tell me where i am going wrong???

Here is an example of doing it with a JavaBean... the bean looks like this:
package net.thelukes.steven;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class FormHandlerBean implements Serializable {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     private Date startTime = null;
     private DateFormat dateFormatter;
     public FormHandlerBean() {
          setDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
     public void setStart(String strt) {
          setStartAsString(strt);
     private void setStartAsString(String strt) {
          setStartAsDate(getDate(strt));
     private void setStartAsDate(Date d) {
          startTime = d;
     private Date getDate(String s) {
          Date d = null;
               try {
                    d = dateFormatter.parse(s);
               } catch (ParseException pe) {
                    System.err.print("Error Parsing Date for "+s);
                    System.err.println(". Using default date (right now)");
                    pe.printStackTrace(System.err);
                    d = new Date();
          return d;
     public long getStartAsLong() {
          return getStart().getTime();
     public String getStartAsString() {
          return Long.toString(getStartAsLong());
     public Date getStart() {
          return startTime;
     public void setDateFormat(String format) {
          dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
}You would only need to make the getStartXXX methods public that need to be accessed from the JSP. For example, if you will not need to get the Long value of the time, then you do not need to make getStartAsLong public...
The JSP looks like this:
<html>
<head>
    <title>I got the Form</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h3>The Output</h3>
    <jsp:useBean class="net.thelukes.steven.FormHandlerBean" id="formHandler"/>
    <%
         formHandler.setStart(request.getParameter("start"));
    %>
    <table>
      <tr><td>Start as String</td><td><jsp:getProperty name="formHandler" property="startAsString"/></td></tr>
      <tr><td>Start as Date</td><td><jsp:getProperty name="formHandler" property="start"/></td></tr>
      <tr><td>Start as long</td><td><jsp:getProperty name="formHandler" property="startAsLong"/></td></tr>
    </table>
</body>
</html>If this were a servlet processing the form rather than a JSP, I might throw the ParseException that might occur in getDate and catch it in the Servlet, with which I could then forward back to the form telling the user they entered mis-formatted text value... But since JSPs should be mainly display, I catch the exception internally in the Bean and assign a safe value...

Hello. So, it's difficult to say, but the following line is probably the cause of the problem.:
Image sourceImage = new ImageIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(newName));Basically, you are making an ImageIcon by passing an image, but perhaps you can just replace the line with this:
Image sourceImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(newName);I use ImageIcon when reading from files, such as:
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(file);
Icon icon = new ImageIcon(image);However, if you already have an Image, I don't see why you just can't just use the Image reference. Perhaps someone more wise will have a more concise answer. Good luck.

Shows up following error msg:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from java.util.Date to java.sql.Date
I don't think this exception is thrown from the portion of code you have shown. As clearly specified in exception message, you cannot cast an instance of java.util.Date to java.sql.Date. you will need to do something like this
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
long t = today.getTime();
java.sql.Date dt = new java.sql.Date(t);

Cannot convert from IPrivate{cn}view.I{cn}Element to IPublicTabComp.IPeople

Hi,

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
i hope you mapped the component controller context "People "to view .
then to create a element do like this,
IPrivate<View Nmae>View.IPeopleNode pnode= wdContext.nodePeople().createPeopleElement();

Converting from WAV to MP3 using Creative MediaSou

I am trying to convert from WAV to MP3 using Creative Media Source Version 3.30.35. The program says it is converting the file to MP3 but when it has finished and I examine the properties it still says the file format is WAV. Can anyone shed any light on this, thanks?

It doesn't change the original file - it creates a new file in the new format. Check where your file destination is set to in the Audio Converter screen.
