Cannot Create PDF Using "Create PDF" Function in Acrobat 8

I can create by using "save as" in my Office programs, but only from the Windows Explorer box, not from the menu.  However, I can no longer "create pdf" nor "combine files" inside Acrobat 8.  I get reinstall message.  It starts and hangs up.  I tried reinstalling from CD.   I use this feature a lot to create files and it just quit.  Nothing new has been installed that might interfere. I've made sure that the distiller is not inactive.  Thoughts?

Unfortunately, alot of us had to upgrade to Office 2010 ...its very unfortunate that adobe doesn't warn us up front about the imcompatibiity problem before they took our money.  Granted they can't give us warnings about every compatibility issue..but considering that MS. Office PDF comversions is a big marketing interest for adobe, I for one would have liked to have known that before I paid for adobe for 9, for I would have waited for 10

Until Adobe releases Acrobat 10 do not upgrade to MS Office 2010!!!
It appears that with the release of Acrobat 10, much of Adobe's support to Acrobat versions 7, 8 and 9 will be reduced to the very minimum updates.
Many CAD programs require upgrades to newer versions of Acrobat. But Acrobat does not support all CAD programs.

  • Cannot show PDF contain at Acrobat X standard

    I have a PDF send from external parties, I open it from Acrobat X Standard, it shows a blank page on the screen.
    But it can normally print out the content from Acrobat X Standard and preview at Windows Explorer.
    I did repair and check update.  Everything see work in good condition.
    I use a 3rd parties PDF reader, it shows the PDF content on the screen.
    Anything I can do to solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    Unless the PDF was created by an Adobe product, it might not be fully compliant with the standard set by Adobe and ISO 32000. Open the PDF file properties and look to see what the Producer and PDF Version is for the file.
    It might help if you can post a sample.

  • Cannot open pdf after installing Acrobat Reader XI

    Installed as recommended update.  Now attempts to open pdf produce the message that file "could not be opened because the associated helper application does not exist.  Change the association in your preferences."  What does this mean?  Running Windows XP.  Havve exhausted Acrobat help.

  • Combine PDFs Function in Acrobat 8 Prints in Filename Order, not Package Order

    'nuf said.  That's my problem. Any solutions welcome.

    Bernd, you beat me to it!
    I went back to Acrobat, and thought "wait a minute ... Combine !!"  I guess sometimes you just need to ask the question, get it out of your thoughts, for the answer to show up.  I was on my way here to post that I'd solved it, but you beat me to it.
    Thanks for your reply anyway.  I appreciate it.

  • Cannot print PDF's with Kyocera

    I am using a Kyocera 5050 in my office installed as a network printer that utilizes local authorization codes for each employee in order to track printing usage. Normally, a print job will be sent to the printer and a box will pop up asking for credentials (the username and password for the printer). The printer will authorize the print job and then print it. I have one employee which cannot print PDF's from Acrobat. I tried updating the printer driver, Acrobat is up to date, and he has no trouble printing from any other application. Tried installing Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to see if it was just Acrobat, and Reader will not allow printing either. The computer will send the print job to the printer, but the printer rejects the credentials and will not print the job. No other employee has issues so it isn't a network issue, and his credentials work in any other software outside of Adobe products so I'm assuming that the issue lies within Adobe's software. Any ideas?

    I we understand your posting, only one user out of a group of users printing to a particular printer requiring credential presentation is having problems printing from Acrobat. How do you conclude that “the issue lies within Adobe's software” given that the other users don't have this problem?
    The particular printer, the Kyocera 5050, supports a number of page description languages, including their own emulations of PostScript and PCL. What page description language is being used? Are all the users setup with the same driver using the same page description language and the exact same driver settings?
    Acrobat and Reader generate their own PostScript, bypassing the driver for that function. Drivers that attempt to put up their own dialogs (such as requesting credentials) and then try to insert commands into the PostScript stream must do so very carefully per conventions established by Microsoft and Adobe. If such commands (such as a pre-job authentication stream) are not properly inserted, then they might be put into the job in the wrong place or go missing altogether.
    I would recommend checking the driver for the user experiencing the problems, making sure it is the exact same version and having all the same settings as those for users not having problems.

    Adobe has not released a copy of Acorbat that fully works with Windows 7 64bit and Office 2010.
    Have you looked at "Save at PDF/XPS" in MS Office?
    You may need to run the applications in the 32bit mode.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Copying text from PDF created using print to PDF function in OS X

    I use a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Lion, and Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    For some reason when I use the Print to PDF function to export a PDF of a Word document, then open it with Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Pro 9 and try to select text and copy it then paste it into a word processor (include Word 2008) the resulting text is gibberish. It looks like some sort of encoding issue, but I can't understand that, since it's all happening on the same Mac! I have also tried to do this with Preview as the PDF reader but I still get gibberish.
    The issue first started occuring with Snow Leopard, and all software is patched, but no dice.
    I've attempted to work around this by using all of the different PDF options under the print dialog, and by saving the doc as a PDF, but I still get the same thing.
    I've also tried copying and pasting the text int Pages, then saving it as PDF and trying to ready it .. again, no luck.  I was able to output the file directly from Pages to Preview and save it from there, but it really doesn't seem like this should be necessary, given that the functionality is build into the OS.
    Anybody else have experience with this? I have just one user that needs to copy and paste text from the doc, so it's a real pain to have to maintain separate PDF and Word versions.
    Thanks!
    D

    Rishi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    After reading your post, I tried to duplicate this problem. I opened a PDF, selected a sentence, then copied it to the clipboard. I then opened Pages, selected the blank template, then pasted in the text. It pasted perfectly.
    Does this problem happen with all text in a PDF? With different PDFs?

  • 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.
