Cannot save pdf files using Reader 9.1

I cannot save the pdf files from online journals as .pdf files using Reader 9.1 The only options it gives me are html or plain text. Previous versions of Reader saved the pdf files easily. Configuration issue?

What browser are you using? Are you positive that they are PDF files? If so, do you have a link we can look at?
Typicaly, if they really are PDF fies, that's the only option you get when you use fie>save as. If they're just web pages, you get the options that you mention.

Cannot open PDF files with Reader XI message appears Adobe Reader has stopped working

Cannot open PDF files with Reader XI message appears Adobe Reader has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working

Which Operating system you are using?
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)] and then try to open the file.

I fixed this problem. I had to turn off the browser virtualization feature in Zone Alarm Extreme Security. This wiped out all of the Firefox settings, but I had bookmarks, etc. backed up. (answered by original poster)

How to save .pdf file using office word and excel

Can someone help me how to save .pdf files using office word and excel? I reinstalled my adobe 7.0 pro in my new pc and before I was able to do it but with my old pc.

For anything after Office 2003, you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer. If you installed AA 7 on OS newer than XP, you may have to do a workaround to get it to work. With later versions of WORD you can always use the MS plugin for creating PDFs.

I cannot save PDF files that has a lock on the right hand side of the tab in safari iOS 5 from my iPad. Please help to find a solution.

Can someone help find a fix of how to save PDF files from safari in iOS 5.0.1? The PDF files show a lock on the right hand side of tab. Only these lock PDF cannot be save. Any help will be highly appreciated.

I assume that you have iBooks or GoodReader or Adobe Reader - some app that will open PDF files so my suggestion would be to start with the basic things, restart your iPad, reset it or quit Safari and restart.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
In order to close/quit apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off.
To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
The lock to the right side of the tab indicates that the website is secure - or at least that is what it looks like in Safai on my iPad. Sites with the https in the address have the lock icon in the tab, non secure sites - web pages without the https - do not have the lock icon. I'm not sure if that has any bearing on it - none of the PDF files that I have opened in Safari have the lock icon.
But if you can open the file - it doesn't make sense that it would be locked??? Try the basic suff and see if any of that helps.

Cannot Print PDF Files on Reader 9.4.0!

I recently updated the drivers on my Brother MFC-420CN printer to the Vista drivers so I could scan multiple pages at once, however, now I can no longer print PDF files!!!!
I tried to roll-back to the old drivers and it still doesn't work, I can print other types of files so it makes me believe that this is an Adobe Reader issue and not a system issue.
In addition, I tried the following steps:
1. Under advanced settings I chose "Print as Image" - did NOT work
2. I uninstalled Reader and re-installed - did NOT work
Here is my setup:
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, 32-bit
Model: HP Pavilion dv2700
Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 1.90GHz(I am aware this is a 64bit processor with a 32-bit OS)
Printer: Brother MFC-420CN
Driver Version: 6.0.6000.16386(This is the previous driver that I rolled back to which used to print PDF files)
Adobe Reader v9.4.0
Any advice on how to get this working again would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Had you managed to print the same files, or are you talking about files you hadn't attempted to print? Are these PDF files forms that you are trying to fill and print in Reader?

Cannot create pdf files using Pro X

I am running Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) and just installed Acrobat Pro X and am unable to create ANY pdf files from any type of document. I am also running Office 2011 and Pages for Mac. Every time I click on a document file and try to convert it to pdf I get a message that says "Acrobat could not open the file because it is not a supported file type" These are simple .doc; docx; .xls and pages documents I am trying to create. Straightforward word processing files, nothing more. I am able to convert .jpeg files to pdf with no problem. But there has to be something basic I am doing wrong or some basic setting needs to be changed.
Any ideas?

You have to recognize that Acrobat can only convert certain file formats to PDF. And there are less formats that can be converted on the Macintosh than in Windows. In Windows, Acrobat uses an Office plug-in to convert Word, PowerPoint, etc. files. That plug-in is not provided by Adobe for the Macintosh. As to why that is, that's been a subject of ongoing debate for at least a decade.
Here are the formats you can convert WITHIN Acrobat on the Mac: Image formats (JPEG, TIFF, etc.), EPS, PostScript, Text, HTML.
So if you want to convert your Word or Pages documents you'll need to use the Macintosh Save as PDF facility. PDF is Mac OS X's native file format. Keep in mind that you can't expect to do some of the fancier things with Word files made possible by the Windows Office plug-in. You can't save bookmarks, hyperlinks, etc. and expect them to appear in the PDF file.
You can also use a script that should be installed by default when you install Acrobat Pro X. Instead of choosing Save as PDF (the OS X option), you can choose Save as Adobe PDF. This script (when it works...it seems pretty fragile) uses Distiller in the background to do the conversion. And this script can also not convert Word bookmarks or hyperlinks.

Problem in opening PDF files using Reader 8 when created with iText 2.1.3

We are facing problem in using IText version 2.1.3. We are using Acrobat Reader 8.1 for viewing the PDF documents. In our Shell program we are splitting and merging the pdf documents using IText. The pdf document works correctly and is readable for documents with one page while it fails for documents with multiple pages.Also please note that it works fine with the older Arcobat reader version say version 7.0 and below but since business has migrated to acrobat higher version we expect IText to work in sync.
We have already raised a bug with the iText and got the information from them stating that the problem is due to the over nesting of XObjects, which has a threshold value of 50 and was discarded in earlier versions but got flagged in Acrobad Reader 8. Also note that we have reported a bug with the adobe development team.
We tried working with other Java PDF tools (jPDFProces), to manupulate the pdf files but were facing the same problem. Hence we understand that the problem is with Adobe Reader 8 as the manupulated pages are being viewed in Adobe Reader 7, but fails to read in Adobe Reader 8.
Kindly provide us with a solution.
Thanks and Regards,

Cannot open pdf files using optonline email

PDF attachments to optonline emails do not open. It was possible at one time to open PDF files by right double clicking the file bar and selecting "reload page" but that no longer works.

Hi FRANKIMOSSI,
Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? I'd take a look at [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]. There is a lot of information in there and it lists a couple of different PDF add-ons. I'd try both to see if it is localized to just one.
Hopefully this helps!

Cannot create PDF files using Excel

I'm using Acrobat PDFMaker 5.0 for Excel to convert my invoices into PDF files to send to clients but for some unknown reason it has just suddenly stopped working. It starts the conversion process OK but then freezes and just hangs. I can continue using my PC but the CPU usage shows as 100%. I end up either having to cancel the conversion or close the programme completely using task manager.
I'm afraid I'm not very computer savvy, but I really need to find a solution to this problem asap.
Please can anybody help me?
Thanks.

Make sure you've updated your Acrobat 5 to 5.0.5: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1309
You may also want to confirm whether or not this is document specific. Does a new Excel file with just a few letters typed into cell A1 convert fine? If so, you may want to uncheck the 'Enable text and reflow in tagged PDF' option within the PDFMaker preferences. I may have skewed that verbiage slightly as I haven't looked at Acrobat 5 in a VERY long time, but I recall that option sometimes causing Word and Excel conversions to hang.

Cannot send PDF file using adobe reader XI

Hi,
My boss tried to open PDF using adobe reader XI and by going to File -> Send Email, it will prompt with error below.
I confirm outlook is configured as default mail program
Windows OS is Windows 7 64bit, same issue for Desktop and Laptop.

You are posting in the bug report section for Adobe Business Catalyst, so your posting in the wrong section so there is no one here who can help you on that.

Acrobat X plugin running in Browser cannot save pdf files locally

Hi,
I have a Digital Signature plugin written for Acrobat X and it handles both signature creation and verification. When a PDF with digital signatures is opened in a browser (specifically IE8, IE9) acrobat X runs in browser mode and it calls our digital signature plugin. Our plugin then saves the online PDF to local disk using the following Acrobat X SDK method:
PDDocSave()
This normally works fine without any problems under windows 7. However, there are some cases where the PDF does not get saved at all. In that case, if we try running Internet Explorer using "Run as admin", saving starts to work again. From this we have concluded that the saving functionality of our plugin requires Internet Explorer to be run as admin.
Problem is that, for users without admin rights this behavior is not ideal.
We have also noted that, if we try to save the PDF opened in a browser using the default save feature of acrobat X, then the save goes through successfully.
Question is, how can we make our plugin to save the pdf the same way acrobat X does when run under browsers? What options do we have?
My system specs: Windows 7 64bit, Acrobat X v.10.1.4 (occurs in 10.1.1 through 10.1.4), IE9.
Thanks in advance.

My question is then how is acrobat itslef able to save the same pdf locally at the same destination without any problems. I am assuming it is using the same save api itself.
If acrobat itself can do it, why cant a plugin running inside acrobat X.
And if the plugin cannot achieve the same behavior as acrobat then can we conclude that for a digital signature plugin running inside acrobat X which is running in browser mode to open a PDF:
- Acrobat X itself and the plugins which run inside it behave differently when saving an online pdf locally. And there is no way for the plugin to achieve the same behavior as acrobat itself in this regard.
- There is no way (either programmatically or otherwise) for the digital signature plugins, to save online PDFs locally, without either running the browser 'as admin' or adding the website, hosting the online PDF, to Trusted websites list of acrobat X.
- User of acrobat X plugin has to either run the browser 'as admin' or add the pdf hosting website to Trusted websites list to save the opened PDF locally.
Please confirm if my conclusions are right. And in cases they aren't please explain why. Thanks for you prompt replys.

Cannot view PDF files with Reader once we uninstall Acrobat X Professional

Our office recently installed Acrobat X Professional on all of our computers. One of our groups uses Adobe Reader to view documents in a medical records system. The documents are imported into the system via an interface that converts them to PDFs. Before the installation of Acrobat X, the documents were viewable with Adobe Reader. We were told that the medical record system is not compatible with Acrobat X, but it is with Acrobat 9. After we uninstall Acrobat X, the documents are still not viewable with Adobe Reader. We were told to unistall all Adobe products, but we are unable to uninstall the Reader. We are running Window XP Professional SP3. Is there a way to completing uninstall Reader? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Here's my problem, running 10.7.3 and Safari.
I installed the 10.1.3 and have been running in 64 mode. If when viewing a PDF I choose File>Save As... I get a dialog saying "Export as... and upon trying to do so I get an error message that it can't export.
If, however, I choose the little floppy icon in the popup at the bottom I get a "Save a copy as..." and everything works as expected.
If I delete the Adobe plugins as specified in earlier posts, I get the Preview view of PDFs in Safari and Save As works normally.
I tend to like Adobe's viewer because it defaults to a bigger view, otherwise it's apples/oranges, er adobes.
