Continued conversion failure
I'm very irriated with the continued failure with ADOBE. I've updated my system requirements and been very patient with the continued errors for weeks on out BUT it gets very frustrating. I can't do my job when this conversion failure happens. Please help someone that knows what I can do to fix this.
@thewindshieldguys
Some inconsistancies that confuse the issue.
You mention use of Adobe Reader. While Reader is fine for open/view of a PDF it (Reader) does not & cannot create a PDF file.
Adobe Reader XI does have an inbuilt feature that 'connects' the user to Adobe online, subscription services that can provide various services. One of these is the creation of a PDF from a TIFF file submitted to the online service.
So, is this the process you are using? If so you must be a subscriber and be logged into the service's servers.
That you mention "conversion failure" is indicative of use of the online service(s).
You've mentioned Acrobat XI Pro. With this application installed you can create a PDF from scanner.
For this always have the scanner/printer device manufacturer's latest software/drivers installed.
Using Acrobat XI Pro you can File :: Create :: PDF from file
Browse to and select the TIFF file to processed.
Be well...

After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application startup
Im running 10.10, Mac OSX, it was running fine before a minor update came out, and now I can not open AE CS6. I have uninstalled, reinstalled it, installed the trial of CC 2014. No messages beside "After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup" come up.

Pdf pack will not create a pdf from a tiff file conversion failure Why
pdf pack will not create a pdf from a tiff file conversion failure Why
Hi David Turner,
What is the exact error message which you are facing while converting the file from .tiff format to PDF format.
As per my knowledge, PDF Pack supports conversion from .tiff format to PDF Format -Different File formats that Adobe PDF Pack supports.

Problems converting PDF to MS Word document. I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file. I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure. I attempted to convert the entire document and same result. I specifically purchased the export to Word feature. Please assist. I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.
Hi sdr2014,
I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
So, let's try this:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
Please let us know how it goes.

Got a error message of "conversion failure" from a PDF to word, what are next steps in trouble lshooting?
ThanksHi Dean,
How can I assist? Are you still experiencing trouble? Would you like me to take a look at your document for you?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Kindest regards, Stacy -
I tried each of the available exportformats: .doc, .docx, .xls, .rtf. None of them worked, which only the message "conversion failure".
Hi bergmanc,
It sounds like there may be an issue with the file that you're trying to convert. Have you tried to convert other files? If so, are they converting without error?
Please tell me a little more about the file that you're trying to convert. For example, what is its file size, how many pages does it have, are there lots of graphics, or a mix of fonts? If the file is complex, it may be that the ExportPDF service is timing out before it can complete the conversion process. It also possible, that the PDF may not be written properly, if t was created by a third-party appellation.
You can simplify the conversion process by disabling OCR as described here: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community (but this solution isn't optimal if the PDF was created from a scanned document.)
Please let us know a bit more about your file, and we'll see what we can figure out.

Why do i always get conversion failure when converting pdf files to xls in exportpdf program?
I have had export pdf for months. I cannot export pdf files to excel files. It always says conversion failure. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? I am so frustrated! This was supposed to make my payroll reports easier, but it has not helped at all.
Hi denise/sharon,
I can understand your frustration. Are you converting via the ExportPDF website, or from within Adobe Reader? Does the conversion failure occur every time that you try to convert a file (has it ever worked for you)?
Since you're talking about payroll, I'm assuming that you're accessing ExportPDF from a corporate computer. You may want to check with your IT department to make sure there are no firewall/proxy settings that limit your access to the Internet.
Also, make sure that you're using a supported web browser. You can find a list here: System Requirements | Adobe Acrobat Pro and Online Services
Finally, if you're using Reader, you can try disabling OCR (optical character recognition) by following the steps in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Please let us know how it goes.

Conversion failure when using PDF Pack to convert a publisher file
Up until the last few months, I used acrobat 8 to convert my church's newsletter from Publisher to PDF for posting on our church website. When we switched to Windows 8 in January my Acrobat 8 couldn't be installed. We just registered for the PDF pack with the yearly subscription fee and I have tried twice to convert our most recent newsletter. Both time the conversion failed with the second time sending the message that the file was too complex or too large to convert.
What do I need to do to make Acrobat XI as least as capable as Acrobat 8 in converting publisher files?Hi eec hampton,
Adobe PDF Pack and Acrobat XI are two different things. PDF Pack is an online service, whereas Acrobat XI is a much more current version of the Acrobat that you had on your computer until recently.
There is a file size limit to the files that you convert with PDF Pack (100MB), but even when a file falls below that file size, the complexity of the file (how much text and graphics, and so on) can cause conversion failure. (You could be dealing with bandwidth issues, for example, as the file is uploaded to the Internet for conversion.)
One option it to convert smaller portions of the newsletter. You can also download a free 30-day trial of Acrobat XI from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html, and convert your publisher document using that.
Please let us know how it goes.

I installed the CC trial with an error window saying: Could not create the file '/Users/dranim/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.2/dummy'. That was the first window. Heres the second: After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup I paid for the month subscription of 29.99. It claims it is downloading again?! Am I missing something here? Why is this process so complicated? I need to get this resolved asap and start working.
I originally had Adobe Photoshop Extended, then upgraded to the Production Suite. I ran the Adobe Cleaner, and that uninstalled most Adobe products, including my existing Adobe install, and then I re-installed everything with the same error code. Since CS4 came with CS5, I've installed AE CS4, but would really like to upgrade because I'm new to Creative Suite, and not sure how CS4 integrates with CS5...CS4 After Effects installed perfectly. I do have a 64 bit system, and installing to an OCZ Vertex 2....every other suite installs perfectly, except AE. And I think that is the coolest program in the Suite. I thank you all so much for taking the time to help, I really want to get AECS5 running...I did try to install after doing the recommended items Adobe suggests for Exit Codes 6 and 7, including turning off many startups...
I'm baffled....

Trying to combine pdf files to a single file and get file conversion failure. What's wrong?
All are pdf files saved or converted from word. I've been able to convert several other files. I have also systematically tried to leave out one file and combine the rest (total 6 files). Any way to determine which file is the problem.

Using the Export to PDF online service, I get "Conversion Failure" error message; why?
The documen t was originally created with Word (*.doc) then printed to PDF format; now I need to convert back to Work, but I get the "Conversion Failure" error message, both on conversion back to *.Doc format and attempt to convert to *.docx format.Hi lfordlaw,
How large is the PDF that you're trying to convert? How did you generate the PDF from Word (did you use Acrobat, or Word's built-in PDF generator)? What version of Word are you using?
The answers to those questions should help us get to the bottom of things.
In the meantime, please try the following:
Clear the browser cache and log back in to https://cloud.acrobat.com.
Try a different web browser (see System Requirements | Adobe Acrobat Pro and Online Services for a list of supported browsers).
Try to convert a different file (if you can convert another file without error, the one you're receiving the error on may be damaged).
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Converting a PDF to Word- Conversion Failure
Everytime I try and convert a PDF from Reader and/or wwwcloud.acrobat.com it keeps coming back with a conversion failure?
Any Help?Hi rusell1234,
Does the error occur with a specific PDF file, or with any file that you try to convert? Can you tell us a bit more about the file(s) that you're converting--how many pages, what sort of content it has (text/graphics/fonts).
For starters, please clear the browser cache and try again, or try converting from a different web browser. And, make sure that Reader is up-to-date by choosing Help > Check for Updates.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

Why do I get an Conversion Failure error when I combine files?
I have "Adobe PDF Pack" having functionality of "Combining multiple files into a single PDF", which stopped working, and prompting "A Conversion Failure".
I have the same problem, it just started. These are small, simple PDF files, only two of them. And I've tried it with lots of different files, all are having conversion failures. I'm using Firefox for Mac. I've rebooted, updated the acrobat applications on my computer, cleared my browser cache, uninstalled and re-installed Adobe browser plug-ins (no idea if they're involved in this process but I'm just trying whatever I can think of)...nothing works.This is a function I really need to have, is there another option besides the PDF Pack??

I keep getting a conversion failure when I try to convert from a PDF into word. Does anyone have any suggestions?
To use the online service you must upload the file to the service's web site after sign in to your account.
The ExportPDF and the PDF Pack Services provide for PDF to Word / Excel.
Each has its own dedicated user-2-user forum where you'll want to browse and ask questions.
