Cannot convert .tif file to .pdf in IE when I have an Abode Reader window open

Cannot convert .tif file to .pdf in IE when I have an Abode Reader window open.

Cannot convert .tif file to .pdf in IE when I have an Abode Reader window open. 
I have a .pdf file open in Adobe Reader that is on my works P:/ drive. Then I open a .tif file from a website in Windows Phone and Fax Viewer and  Right click it and select "Convert to Adobe PDF".  I get the following message
Adobe Reader could not open "filename.tif" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has not been damaged (For example, it was sent as a an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
I have a work around for this.  Simply closing the Adobe Reader that was previously opened and the attempting to "Convert to Adobe PDF" will then work properly.  Was wondering if there was a fix to this issue beacuse it is frustrating to always have to close my other .pdf files to do this action.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • I cannot convert my file

    just paid for this adobe acrobat converter, and when i tried to convert a simple word txt file to acrobat file or whatever, it said it couldnt' do it and i needed to go to the windows printer pdf page?  i dont know what that means and i'm annoyed that a simple task (txt to PDF) that was promised by the software is not accomplishable.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your subscription and I apologize for your bad experience you had to go through.
    I assume from your description that the printer is Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer.  When users cannot convert some files to PDF we suggest user to download the CreatePDF desktop printer to  your local computer.  When the printer is used from application (such as MS Office, WordPad..) the resultant PDF file will be stored at https://files.acrobat.com then you can download the file.
    Please see more information about the desktop printer at "Adobe CreatePDF desktop application" section of http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/kb/using-createpdf.html
    Please send me your file if possible so that I can look into the prolem why you could not convert it to PDF.
    To send your file to us, please use below site.

  • I am unable to convert certain files to pdf with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

    I am unable to convert Word & PowerPoint files to pdf.  (I am able to convert image files & excel)
    I have enable macros in Word and still cannot convert the file. 
    I am getting the error popup:
    Unable to open the document
    Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file
    I am running:
    Windows XP Professional Ver 2002 SP 3
    Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
    Microsoft Office 2007

    Open the document in WORD or PPT and print to the Adobe PDF printer. With PPT, you will have to select the fill page option. You may also be able to use PDF Maker in WORD or PPT. From your post I am assuming you are trying to open directly in Acrobat and all of these other things have to be working properly before the latter will work. If they work and you still can not open directly in Acrobat, then try a repair on Acrobat.

  • Converting PST files into PDF's & the recipient can't print

    I am having the following issue with Adobe: I am converting PST files into PDF's and the recipient can view the information, but they cannot print. Actually, some information such as whether there is an attachment is displayed in the printout, but none of the actual text appears. I do not see any security settings at this end that would be causing this, but I have been assured that there is nothing on the recipients either. The same thing was happening when I sent it to a colleague here in the office.

    I discovered the problem and solution. Often PST's contain damaged text. It is not easy to deal with the damaged text. It is more efficient to have the recipient print the file as an image.Select the print tab, go to advanced, select print as image. I got the information by looking through the more specific information on the Adobe site.

  • Converting PPT file to PDF results in cover page disappearing -- using 10.1.3 Reader for Mac

    Adobe Reader cannot convert documents; what software did you use for the conversion?

  • I am trying to convert a file from pdf. I can't see it after I hit convert to word and view converted files. How do I know if I have a subscription? Adobe is on my mac dashboard.

    How do I tell if I have already paid for a membership? When I try to convert a pdf file to word, it looks like it is processing the task, but then I can't find the converted file when it says view converted file. Huh? Adobe is on my mac dashboard, I have had an account but can't see the results . . . thanks.

    Hi subscription question,
    I've checked your account; it looks like you tried to place two separate orders this morning, but it doesn't appear that either went through. However, it does sound as though you've been able to convert a file successfully. What happens when you log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you see your converted file there? All converted files are automatically stored in your online account, even when you convert from within Reader.

  • Error: EXOpenExport() while converting xlsb file to PDF

    I am getting this error while converting .XLSB file to PDF using IBR :Step PDFExport forced conversion failure by conversion engine because of error: EXOpenExport() failed: no filter available for this file type (0x0004). Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for all your intrest.
    The error message I get is... "an unexpected error occured. PDFMaker was unable to process the request".
    When I then try to convert again, the system opens the ppt, but then does not do anything, and the error message does not show, for all presentations I try to convert.
    I have also tried using the ribbon, but the button does not do anything once I have clicked.
    I can print to PDF, but this provides an output which is not suitable, because it shows as if it each slide was printed on to paper and then put in PDF.
    I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat to make sure nothing was corrupt.

  • I need to convert a file from PDF to doc to make changes to it.  How do I do this without getting an error message?

    I can not convert a PDF file to a doc file. I have an older computer program and need to do this in order to make changes to a form.  I just signed up for ADOBE about an hour ago. I keep getting a error message.

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
    Regards,

  • Not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

    Hi,
    I am not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. When I try to convert, it starts the process and in between I am getting this prompt, as shown in figure below and the conversion process stops. The PDF is not created.
    Note: The filename 'Acr85.doc' in the above prompt keeps changing and is random.
    I tried clicking Yes, No and Cancel on the above prompt, but the conversion process just stops and PDF is not getting generated.
    I am able to create PDFs from web pages. No issues with that. Not working only with Word.
    Can someone help me with this.
    Thanks,
    Vinay Jaassiel Kankipati

    In MSWord please changes the settings as "Adobe PDF" menu => "Change Conversion Settings" goto Tab Bookmark and clicks the option Convert Word Bookmarks. Now you convert the Doc to PDF you can achieve the Bookmark.
    Hope this help you

  • Acrobat XI Pro successfully installed, but it failed in converting word files into PDF, why?

    I just installed Adobe XI Pro through the download assistant, it looks the installation went well, but when I tried to convert word files into PDF (tried many times), it failed. Anyone has the same problems, any solutions?

    Please reply with more information - what your operating system is, do you have Office installed, and what exactly is happening. Is there an error message, does the application crash, and from where are you starting the conversion (using Word and PDFMaker, using Acrobat's Create button, or batch processing).

  • I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help!  Chris.

    I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help!  Chris.

    It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
    Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
    You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs.

  • Convert .C4 files to PDF

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version 9.1.2 with Windows Vista operating system.   The Adobe software is used under a government license.  The system administrators pushed an update to the adobe software last week end.  Up to this time I had been able to select a group of C4 image files and right click on the selections and select convert files to PDF documents.  When I try to do this now, I get a file recognition error.  I opened the Acrobat 9 application and chose the option to create a PDF from file.  I looked through the file extension options and did not see .C4 as a recognized file type for conversion.  I know in the past this file type was listed.  Has this file type for conversion been dropped from the Adobe software?  Do I need a plug-in loaded to restore this conversion option?  If I select a single C4 file and right click select the option to send file as PDF through e-mail,  the conversion works as expected.  What happened to converting single and multiple C4 files for direct conversion to PDF?

    You need whatever app normally opens .c4 files and prints them. And you need Adobe Acrobat. That's it.

  • How do I convert a file to PDF without subscribing?

    I just downloaded Adobe Reader X, I'm running Windows 7, When I try to convert a file to PDF I'm required to subscribe? I thought this was free? Any ideas?

    Adobe Reader is free - and it reads PDF files; it doesn't create them.
    Adobe CreatePDF and ExportPDF are online subscription services for people who don't want to buy Acrobat. There are links from inside Adobe Reader so users can find those services more easily, but functionally they're unconnected to Reader.

  • I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files to into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "Error occurred while trying to access the file". WHY

    I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack for $7.50/month (or $89.99/yr) but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "An error occurred while trying to access the service". WHY is this happening & How can I fix it?

    Hi hpmg,
    It seems you are trying to access the service via Adobe Reader. Make sure you are signed in with your Adobe ID. Is Reader updated to the latest patch v 11.0.09?
    It might be possible that a firewall or antivirus might be breaking the connectivity from Reader to the server.
    Try accessing the service from the browser: https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf  and check if that works for you.
