Cannot creat pdf from Powerpoint using Acrobat Pro X

I cannot create pdf files from Powerpoint 2010 using Acrobat Pro X.  I am using Windows 7 32-bit. There are no updates for my Acrobat Pro X and so the PDFMaker is up to date.  When trying to save to a pdf, the program will crash.  The problem signature from Powerpoint states that the problem name is "APPCRASH" and that the fault module named MPS.dll.  HELP!

Here's a slightly better version.
set urllist to {"http://www.cnn.com", "http://www.apple.com", "http://www.macintouch.com"}
set numURLs to (count urllist)
on pageloaded(timeoutvalue) -- in seconds
delay 2
repeat with i from 1 to timeout_value
tell application "Safari"
if (do JavaScript "document.readyState" in document 1) is "complete" then
return true
else if i is timeout_value then
return false
else
delay 1
end if
end tell
end repeat
return false
end page_loaded
tell application "Safari"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
set frontmost to true
repeat with i from 1 to (numURLs)
tell application "Safari"
set URL of document 1 to item i of urllist
end tell
my page_loaded(5)
keystroke "p" using {command down}
click menu button "PDF" of sheet 1 of window 1

  • Create PDF from Scanner using Acrobat X Pro

    I am using trial Acrobat X Pro. When I attempt to Create PDF documents from Scanner using Epson Perfection 4490 Photo flat-bed scanner I get pop-up that states Epson cannot be started.  This also occurs when I Create PDF from Scanner > Custom Scan > Scanner when I select Epson Perfection 4490 scanner. My scanner is turned on when I attempt to create PDF from scanner. I have no problem scanning documents and then creating PDF documents from file, but I would like to eliminate this step.  Thanks in advance--any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    This is a tricky problems as hundreds have had the same problem. Research on the net demonstrated that no one had the solution. Some have even thrown perfectly good scanners away. The problem is most likely  obtaining permission from Win 7 security. Don't bad mouth Adobe Acrobat or your scanner software. This solution will work and has been tested to work. You must be logged in as administrator. This will not help Mac User.
    1. Find the file acroscanbroker.exe
    2. Select properties
    3. Select security tab
    4. Select "users/*********
    5. Edit settings
    6. Full control  Check box
    7. Modify         Check box
    8. Read and Execute    Check box
    9. Read            Check box
    10. Write           Check box
    Your scanner should now work and any grayed out menus should come to life.

  • Creating PDF from scanner with Acrobat Pro 10

    Hello, I'm trying to scan a document into pdf using acrobat pro 10. Whatever selection I make I always get the dialog message "scanning cancelled"! Does anybody have a clue what is going on here.
    I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bits.
    I also have multiple scanning devices available but it makes no difference which one I select.

    Use the software that came with the scanner, save as TIF, then use Acrobat to convert the TIF to PDF

  • Cannot create .pdf from web pages X Pro

    Hmmm. I missing a trick here.
    Acrobat X Pro.
    Windows 7 64x.
    Create web pages from Chrome
    So I log into my New York Review of Books account as a Subscriber.
    I locate an article that is marked ' locked ', subscribers only  - I view it as one entire page.
    The whole article is visible - it should be, I'm a subscriber.
    I load the URL into 'Save As Web Page '  in Acrobat X Pro
    I click on Save. It doesn't save it it truncates the article after two pages placing a Nag Box at the end suggesting I take out a subscription. ( but I have ).
    When I attempt this on articles not ' Locked ' they save perfectly in Acrobat X Pro.
    NYRB web support are not really clued up on this.
    Why does this happen ...surely Acrobat x Pro can create the .pdf from the browser content and doesn't have to go back to the source in these circumstances?
    If I go into Chrome and PRINT the same Locked web page to PDF I get a half formatted black and white replica of the article in its entireity ( no Nag Box).
    I'm missing something here. Help please.

    Acrobat is using the underlying mark up of the rendered HTML page.
    This may or may not provide an adequate input to Acrobat when it is noodling out how and what to tag.
    I suspect you may find that, to obtain an adequately tagged PDF, you may have to capture the web page content with the create bookmarks and create tags options off.
    Once you have the PDF make working copies.
    Try letting Acrobat tag this already created PDF to see what happens.
    You may have to manually tag the PDF.
    n.b., The default read order for western language can be altered by user selections in the accesibility setup or by selection in the PDF page(s) Page Properties.
    Be well...

  • Creating PDFs from Word using Acrobat 9

    I am trying to create a PDF using the 'convert to acrobat PDF' button from Word 2003. My PDF settings are set to embed the fonts. The resulting PDF has gaps in the text (bits where there is no text and should be). I have also tried going to File, Print and select PDF printer and the same problem occurs. Each time I try different bits of text are missing.
    If I untick embed all fonts there is no problem.
    I was using Acrobat CS and have used Acrobat CS3 and not had this problem.
    Any help appreciated.

    If you use ctrl-D>fonts, are all the fonts embedded. If not, are any of them non-standard fonts. The problem is typical of issues with fonts that are not embedded, sometimes due to license restrictions.

  • Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

    Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

    Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
    I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

  • Can't Create PDF "from file" using any MS Office files

    Acrobat 8.1.1 Pro. (OS = XP), as part of the CS3 premium edition.
    I can no longer get Acrobat to recognize any of the MS Office applications extensions (.doc, .ppt, etc...) for use with either Create PDF "From File" or when using the Combine Files feature to Merge or Package. The extensions are no longer even listed as an option in the dialog box, or in the Preference settings under "Convert to PDF".
    FYI- I can still use the PDF Maker functionality from within the MS Office application to create a PDF.
    Any Idea what could have happened, or more importantly how to fix?
    ***Update***
    I have re-installed the Acrobat 8 application, and the problem still exists.
    I'm truly puzzled.

    I get this with my PC and I ran detect-repair and reinstalled. Some PDF's I can open and other's I cannot. I can send the email to a cohort and they can open fine.
    "Can't create file: Right-click the folder you want to create the file in and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder"
    Any ideas would be great.
    Thanks!

  • Cannot create pdf from scanner

    Acrobat XI Pro CC on Windows 8... "CREATE >> from scanner >> auto-detect = ERROR: "selected scanner not found" ... cannot find a place to "select scanner" ... only one scanner: works fine (WIA) with Photoshop...

    Repair the WIA drivers?
    Without TWIAIN (first choice) or WIA (acceptable 2nd choice) Acrobat has nothing to "talk" to the scanner with. In such a situation scan the paper to TIFF. Then use Acrobat to create PDF from the TIFF.
    Be well...

  • How does I resize a pdf file page using Acrobat Pro?

    In Acrobat Pro, how can one resize a pdf file page (21.38'' x 26.75'') into one measuring 6'' x 9'', to be submitted as the trim size? Is there a feature that allows this to be done? How does one set all print options from the Application print dialog box to enable one to adjust the dimensions of any customized file page?

    I want to scale the 21.4'' by 26.8'' content down to one that can be fitted inside a 6'' by 9'' book.
    I have this pdf that was created from the InkFlow app, and I'm using Acrobat Pro to merge three files into one (about 300MB), which I needed to submit to Amazon's CreateSpace, but they needed the trim size of 6'' by 9'', while the pdf is 21.4''' by 26.8'', and I can't amend the source file size of the InkFlow files.
    I tried fiddling with the Crop and Print options, but I'm unable to resize the pdf to match the trim size. The problem on my side isn't so much on printing but to resize the pdf file page to 6'' by 9'' to satisfy Amazon's requirement for their trim size. Could this be done with Acrobat Pro? The message that appears is: Full print options of Acrobat Pro, set all print options from the Application print dialog box. Thank for the help.

  • Create PDF from scanner with Acrobat 11.0.6

    Ever since Acrobat updated to 11.0.6 the create pdf from scanner option will not complete. I am running OS X 10.9.1 on a Macbook Air as well as a Macbook Pro. The Macbook Air updated to Acrobat version 11.0.6 sometime last week and that's when it stopped working. The Macbook Pro updated just this morning and stopped working as well.
    I click on File > Create > PDF from scanner, which then brings up the Acrobat Scan window. HPScan shows up as the default scanner and click the scan button leaving the usual default options unchanged. The HP Scan window then pops up and I click scan. The document scans and appears in the HP Scan window; so far so good. It will ask me if I want to scan other pages, to which I click no. I then click the return button as usual. Normally this would then return me to back to Acrobat, but this is not happening. It just hangs there at the HP Scan window. This started happening when Acrobat updated to 11.0.6. If I go into the Acrobat preferences and change the Scan driver option under Conver to PDF from Twain to ImageCapture it works. It used to work with the TWAIN option.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    We are investigating this issue and will get back to you once we have any updates.

  • Create PDF from scanner using 8 and 10.5 or 10.6

    Just curious what the solution is for Mac Acrobat  when trying to create a pdf from your scanner.
    I understand the Mac OS 10.5 + 10.6 changed it's twain support.
    Once or twice I've create a pdf from a epson 1660 perfection scanner using Mac OS 10.4
    Under File>Create PDF>From Scanner> and the list of scanners would show up.
    I understand in 10.5 and 10.6 you can use image capture to achieve the same results.  I like the acrobate interface which allowed the continuation of pages being scanned into the same file name.
    Did adobe address this issue in future updates or product lines is is that feature gone for good.
    Is there anyway using 10.5 or 10.6 using adobe 8, 9 etc... that allows for this process to happen again?

    The 1660 Perfection scanner (which I have) is not a OS X native scanner, it is PPC code. If you want to run it under OS 10.5 you need to run Acrobat under Rosetta. I don't believe that option exists for Acrobat under OS 10.6

  • Compress tagged PDF from commandline w/ Acrobat Pro X or Distiller

    Hi,
    I'd like to use acrobat pro or distiller from the commandline to open a tagged pdf, optimize/compress it, and then close it. It would be helpful to run the accessibility reports this way too, but is not essential. I've read through the distiller API and javascript API and can't find information on how to do this.
    Any help would be appreciated—thanks,

  • Creating PDFs from PowerPoint Tables that InDesign Can Handle

    Hi - I just posted the question below on the InDesign forum, but I think it may actually be a Microsoft-Adobe-pdf issue.  Any help is much appreciated. 
    Hi All, this is my first post on the Adobe Community.  I problem cropped up in the last week and i am going crazy.  Please help!!  I am running on  a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5.
    I have been using a workflow to create tables in InDesign for months with no issues:
    1.  Calculate a complex table in Excel
    2.  Paste the table into PowerPoint for formatting
    3.  Copy the table in PowerPoint, then paste it back as a pdf image
    4.  Option-click on the pdf image on the slide to save it as a pdf file
    5.  Go to a frame InDesign that already has a linked image, re-link to the new pdf file.
    This workflow has been very helpful because I have a lot of complex and carfully formatted tables I need to get into InDesign.  Now, since upgrading both my Microsoft Office 2011 and my Adobe CS6 SW it not working.
    I can copy, paste-as-pdf, save the pdf file.   But when I try to link to it in InDesign it get the message "Failed to open the pdf file."
    I can still link to older pdf files with no problem, and I can use this work flow on text-only pdf files from PowerPoint.  The pdf files that contain tables are not linking into InDesign.  I have tried to do the past-as-pdf into Microsoft Word and the behavior is the same.
    All the pdf files look fine in Acrobat.
    Thank you very much for any assistance.

    It's a matter of efficiency as much as anything else. I read too many
    reports here of people having problems printing previewing or working
    with PDFs and it often comes back to preview.
    It's fine for JPGs but PDFs? No, especially those generated by InDesign.
    Why open them in preview only to find a problem when Reader or Acrobat
    are far better applications? It just seems horribly inefficient to have
    preview set as the default for PDFs only to find an problem and then
    have to quit preview and open Reader or Acrobat.

  • Creating PDF from Scanner in Acrobat X

    I recently purchased a new computer with Adobe Acrobat X.  I have been using Acrobat 9 with no problems.  When scanning simple 1-page black & white documents, it takes 10 times longer to scan and save the document.  Is there a setting in Acrobat X that is causing the scanner to take so long to scan the document?

    Your problem isn't clear
    It is slow, so I understand that you can scan. Perhaps you can check the scanning resolution, if it is an heavy parameter, it is clear than the scan take longer.
    When you scan from another application, is it slow ?
    Scan Drivers are ok ?
    Try VueScan Pro, it is a scanning application that support more than 1700 scanner. Does it work better ?
    It can also replace your default driver.
    Let us know
