Cannot create an A4 Scanned PDF

HI,
I cannot set the Paper SIze to A4 when Creating a PDF from Scanner.
I go into Configure Presets and see no preset option to do this and when i try to set Custom get an error with the message max siz to 279.3mm and not 297.00mm as it would need to be for for A4 ?
I also do not see how to import Scanner, Lexmark All-In-One, settings (which will acquire to A4 in its Scanning app), in Acrobat.
Read lots of threads and not getting it ?
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro.
Printer is Lexmark 920 All-In-One.

Meggie,
You may or may not have created a mess with fonts. I would try not to have duplicate fonts, it is totally sufficient to have them in C:\Windows\Fonts.
But your FrameMaker verson is definitely four (4) patches behind. The current version is 9.0.4 (9.0p255) and you can get the updaters here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=22&platform=Windows
You have to install them one after another.
Some of the patches improved the Save as PDF feature.
For further communication, please add your OS version and Acrobat version.

Cannot create PS file and PDF in Framemaker 9

I'm using Version 9.0p196.
When I used the "Advanced Save" to save an .fm file to a pdf, I got the message "The specified printer 'N/A' cannot be found, use printer 'Adobe PDF' instead. After I click OK, it said "cannot create PS file", and "failed to create PDF file.
It worked fine before.This problem was occurred after I copied some fonts to the following locations:
C:\Windows\Fonts
and
C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker9\fminit\fonts\adobe
Those fonts are:
timesbd.ttf
times.ttf
HelveticaWorld-Regular.ttf
HelveticaWorld-Italic.ttf
HelveticaWorld-BoldItalic.ttf
HelveticaWorld-Bold.ttf
I have no idea if that's the cause of the problem. Does anyone know?
By the way, the FM 9 is running on XP.
Thanks,
Meggie

I cannot edit text in a PDF created from scanning

I am using Adobe XI, and I have created a PDF by scanning a document.
When I do click on a paragraph to edit text, all the page appears selected, it seems to be an image. At that moment a message pops up saying: this page has not editable text or digitalized content. The editing tools are disabled, so I cannot edit text.
If I do export a page to Excel or Word, I can edit text there, although there are some kind of data that is not converted properly (even when I have executed OCR).
I have edited preferences, but I am not sure if I did it correctly.
Thanks

I am using Acrobat XI Pro on PC.
Of course, I have done all the steps you mention, but I wanted someone to confirm me if these setting values are correct in order to obtain the best results. I repeat the paragraph of my previous discussion that I want to clarify, just in case some of you can help me, mainly about optimization
I digitalized the document from the scanner. This scanner is installed in the net, so I personalized the settings in Acrobat and I chose memory mode instead of native mode.
Mode color: black on white
Resolution: 600 ppp
As you say in your mail, I understand I should choose ClearScan OCR not searchable just at this moment.
Well, and what about the options of optimization?, JBIG2 (without lost)?, 4 CCITT?
And filters?, I have: activated, low, activated, medium
Are these values congruous or compatible?
Thank you

Installed Mac OS X v.10.6.7, and now we cannot create a PDF file

Installed Mac OS X v.10.6.7, and now we cannot create a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Professional. This has been done on two computers, one an iMac and the other a MacBook Pro. Assistance greatly appreciated.

Yes, Adobe Acrobat X Pro is the same thing as Acrobat X Pro.
Print to PDF is probably the most reliable way to create a PDF file.
File > Create > PDF from File
is shaky. It works with some file types but not with others.
Another issue is creating a multi-page PDF from a scanner. If you neglect to check the box "Prompt for scanning more pages" and, instead, simply try to add a second page, the application crashes.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

Cannot create PDF w/ custom page size in FM 9

I just upgraded to the new Technical Communication Suite and cannot create a PDF from FrameMaker with a custom page size anymore. I need to create a PDF with a page size of 8.125" by 10.875", and have tried both Save As PDF and Print to the PDF driver. I followed all of the instructions on how to do so via the PDF printer driver's "Printing Preferences", Adobe PDF page size, etc. When that didn't work, I also tried Save As PDF with a custom page size ... still won't print to the custom size no matter how many places I specify it.
My only way to get my custom page size at this point is to create the PDF and then go in and modify Document > Crop Pages > Change Page Size to Custom, and specify my size. This is clearly less than desirable.
I am using FM version 9.0p 196. Any help/advice/suggestions welcome!

Cindy,
You should get the FM updates. There have been 3 patches released since the 9.0p196 version. Install them in order.
Before creating PDFs, make certain that your default printer is set to the AdobePDF printer instance. The SetPrint utility from Sundorne helps ensure that this is always the case for FM, see http://www.sundorne.com/FrameMaker/Freeware/setPrint.htm
In the Save As PDF dialogue, set the "Page Size" for the output on the Settings tab, as shown here:
Set your PDF joboptions for the appropriate press requirements.
Set your registration if required.
Make sure the "Convert CMYK Colors to RGB" is set (the PDF CMYK generation is still buggy).
Hit the "Set" button and you should get the correctly sized output.
When you were creating the ouptut via the printer route, if you had set the "Generate Acrobat Data" option, then FM sets the document so that it is always cropped to the FM page size, rather than the printer specified output sheet size, in the final PDF. Omit setting this option and it should work via this route as well.

Cannot Create PDF in Adobe Acrobat 8

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and I cannot create a pdf from a *.docx file and *.doc file. Word 2007 does have the Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin listed as a trusted site.
When I try to Create PDF from Multiple files the error message is Cannot convert file type to PDF. Please remove this file from the list.
Is there a way to create a pdf file in Adobe 8 with 2007 and 2003 documents?

In WORD 2007 you should have a create PDF menu set. That is the PDF Maker that works with AA8. There could also be some issues with the OS which you did not mention. AA8 is not certified for use on Win7 and is a potential problem. I suspect that you do not have PDF Maker for AA8 active in WORD. You can always print to the Adobe PDF printer to create a PDF, you just lose some of the bookmark and related options.

Cannot Create PDF Acrobat 9.4 Standard Windows 7, 64 bit

Hi,
Currenlty my colleague and I have the same issue; we cannot create PDF documents using Acrobat 9.4 Standard or the office plug in, and there is no PDF printer available after the acrobat installation either.
We are both using Windows 7, 64 bit version. I have checked and confirmed Acrobat 9 on Windows 7 64 bit with Office 2007 should be compatible.
* When using the 'Create PDF from file' feature from Acrobat we get the following error: "Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?"
I have run the installer in repair mode multiple times, same isssue occurs after this is done.
* When using the Acrobat plug-in for office, for example in Word (we both use Office Professional 2007) and selecting 'Create PDF' it will prompt for a save location, after select save nothing happens, and there is no PDF file created in the save locaton.
So far I have tried the following without any success:
- Un-installing and re-installing acrobat, multiple times
- running the acrobat application in compatability mode for Windows XP
- attempted to create PDF files from older word versions i.e. .doc and .docx have the same issue
- attempted to manually install PDF printer using the acrobat installation files - did not work
* I am aware that Office 2007 will allow me to save a document as PDF, however we still need acrobat for the publishing quality and editing features.
Any help or suggestions regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated :-)
Kind Regards,
Wade

I understand what you are suggesting. I have two laptops the same model. AA works on one but not the other. I do have office 7 and a 64 bit OS.
Thanks for the help

If you are running a 64-bit version of OFFICE 2007 (if one exists), that may be the issue. AA X did not work with that version until the most recent release as I understand it. Since you have AA 9.4, I am not sure of the compatibility of it with the 64-bit version. It is strange that the printer does not appear. It seems a few others have had similar problems and as I recall, someone made a suggestion to fix that recently -- though it may have been for AA X. You might search on 64-bit or such.

Using Frame 9, Acrobat 9.5, suddenly cannot create pdf. The ps file is empty, and the process results in unresolved cross-refs. Have updated w/o success.

I've beenusing the Tech Comm Suite with Frame 9 and Acrobat 9.5 for years, and suddenly cannot create a pdf of a frame doc. The ps file is empty. This is happening to a colleague using the same suite across the country. Any suggestions? Please help!

OK, that's pretty plain vanilla. Assuming you've already checked the Adobe
Updates web page to ensure that both applications are fully patched....
The thing that jumps out from your procedure is that you don't seem to have
the Acrobat printer set as the system default because you're selecting it.
So I'd make that change. And you may want to then reboot, to make sure it
sticks.
The second thing I'd do is eliminate your Step 1, because if you don't
select Print To File and do that dance, if the Acrobat Printer is selected
(as it should be if it's the system default), Acrobat will create the PS
file and distill it automatically, then delete the temp files -- that's
what it's designed to do. (This would also make Step 2 and 3 unnecessary,
because Acrobat is your system default printer now.)
Probably no harm in forcing it into manual mode as you're doing, except the
extra time and keystrokes, but I'd try the other path just to see what
happens.
Are you getting any error messages in the Frame Console window?

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.

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.

HP 2540 scanning to create a multi-page pdf (Mac OS X)

My printer/scanner is: HP 2540
My OS is Mac OS X 10.10
Need help with the following:
How can I scan single pages (an old tax return) to create one multi-page PDF? I saw a reply on how to do it in Windows, but not using OS X. Any assistance would be appreciated as I need to get this done for legal reasons.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello @txrun ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you would like to scan multiple pages into on PDF document.
I would like to help.
It really depends on how you are scanning.
Are you using Apples Image Capture or HP Scan?
If you are using HP Scan, it should be quite simple.
Scan the first page.
You should have a preview of the page on the left hand column of the window.
You will also have a little plus sign found at the lower left hand corner of the window.
Change the page on the scanner glass then click the little plus sign.
If you are using the Apple Image Capture, you will have to change the format from JPEG to PDF.
This will cause a little box to appear under it, that will say 'combine multiple pages into single file'
Check this box and proceed to scan.
Hope this helps you.

Adobe Acrobat XI: Error Adobe Acrobat is not activated. Cannot create PDF File.

After installing Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 7 Ent. w/Office 2010.
From MS Word, select Save as PDF, I recieve "Adobe Acrobat is not activated. Cannot create PDF file."
Any and all troubleshooting has failed.
Uninstall Acrobat, language packs, re-install, install updates, Install on fresh image.

kglad your link refers to Windows XP. As to the rest it is questionable. First of all it would be nice to know the cause, before fixing the problem. For in some cases eliminating the cause will solve problems later on. So, in my case for ex. The problem did not exist until I protected my Word 2010 document and then saved it to PDF--which it would not allow to do so and giving the error message stated above.
