Cannot create pdfs after upgrades: Adobe 9.2 and Mac OS 10.6.2

After upgrading to Adobe Professional 9.2 and Mac 10.6.2, I have lost the ability to create pdfs.
The Adobe Printer (display says the printer is v. 9.0) lists the print job status as "Error" and has the following message; "You need to install software to use this printer. To install the software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer."
I get errors when I try to create a pdf from a webpage. 
I get the following error when I try to create a pdf from a word file: "Acrobat could not open 'AAA.docx' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF."
(I am able create a pdf from jpg files... but I never really have a need to do this...)
I have uninstalled Adobe Professional using the uninstaller (then emptied trash and restarted), then reinstalled Adobe Professional from disk (and restarted).  After the reinstallation, I still get the same problems, although I don't get any error messages until Adobe Professional updates itself from 9.0 to 9.2.  Before the Adobe upgrade, v9.0 attempts to print to pdf just act like the pdf is created (no error messages), but I don't get a save prompt, nor is a new pdf document anywhere to be found.
Please help!!!

Thanks!  I found the work around!!!

To make sure it really was the case I sent message with pdf attached to myself: bingo! Have recently updated to Adobe Reader 9.4.1. Using WinXp SP3 and MS Outlook 2003 SP3.
    Any suggestions?

  • Cannot Create PDF after CS5 install (MAC)

    I haven't tried every app, but so far ID, PS, and Illustrator only show my previous Acrobat 9 as an option to print a PDF file. When I use this option, nothing happens. If a file is created I have no idea where it is, since I never get to the point of being able to name it or give it a destination.  Can anyone help me get Acrobat X working?
    On a Macbook Pro...

    Sounds like Acrobat X might not have been installed, but I'm not sure that's relevant.  What version of Mac OS? Since Snow Leopard print to PDF no longer works the way it used to. See InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Acrobat’s Adobe PDF Printer Replaced in Snow Leopard
    For Exporting PDF, the recommended methos to creat PDF from ID, or to save PDF directly from Photoshop or Illustrator, Acrobat is not involved at all. You should tell us exactly waht you are doiing, and waht error messages, if any, you see, as well as waht you expect to happen, and waht happens instead.

  • Cannot print PDF after upgrade to 7.0.1

    After downloading a PDF file from a web site, cannot print the file. Print preview only shows page 1 that is a blank even if several pages are downloaded.

    I had the same problem. A blank page as print preview and I've printed a blank page by printing from the Print item in the menu.
    I put the pointer in the bottom of the page to print and then a box appeared. I clicked on the printer picture and got the printer window.
    I succeed to print this way.
    Hope this help.
    Sorry for the english language not used for long years.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    Subject: Cannot Create PDF Acrobat 9.4 Standard Windows 7, 64 bit
    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.

    I am having this same issue. I live in Korea and changing the language to Korean made the messages searchable, but when I changed back to  English, the problem returned and I was unable to search all my messages via the search window in the messages app, but then, after about 5 minutes, the messages app crashed, and after that, the problem was resolved. Gotta sat that I'm so far unimpressed with ios 8; seemingly not ready for Primetime.

  • I cannot create a catalog because everywhere I try on my computer, it comes up with cannot Lightroom cannot create a catalog on network volumes.  And is there any way to contact Adobe directly?  Would you be able to give me a phone number and/or email add

    I cannot create a catalog because everywhere I try on my computer, it comes up with cannot Lightroom cannot create a catalog on network volumes.  And is there any way to contact Adobe directly?  Would you be able to give me a phone number and/or email address?@@

    The short and direct answer to your question about catalogs on a network drive is that you can't do that. The catalog must reside on a local drive.
    Here is a link to a list of telephone numbers. Choose one that is appropriate:

  • Created a Form in Adobe Acrobat XI and save that form as "Standard" PDF

    I created a Form with Adobe Acrobat XI and now I want to add a button for save that form as "Standard" PDF with Java Script or other suitable way. Please help me.
    Thank You.

    Forms are entirely standard. What do you mean by "standard" in this case. Do you mean "not a form, so that the bits filled in are just permanent parts of the PDF like the other stuff"?
