Convert a file to PDF using Acrobat

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7f73.w.h tml

I am not that familiar with AutoCAD, but depending on the version of AutoCAD and Acrobat you may be able to create the files from Acrobat. However, you would need to have the PDF Maker plugin functional in AutoCAD and I think this may be version dependent. For those that can help with that info, you need to provide info on your OS and the versions (& subversions) of both AutoCAD and Acrobat. I have no idea what 1 year subscription you are talking about. Acrobat is a purchase item for several hundred $$.
In terms of who is here, it is a user forum and only occasionally do Adobe emplyees drop by. This is not the place to ask questions of Adobe, but to questions that other users can answer. So again you need to provide the info on what you are working with and maybe we can help. If you have Acrobat, you can always simply print to the Adobe PDF printer.

  • Convert txt file to pdf using Acrobat Distiller

    Hi,
    We purchase years ago Distiller 8.1.0.
    Now, I try to convert txt file to pdf files, but I always get an error.
    Please Help,
    Hezi

    I have important information: Acrobat is not licensed for use server side, so you must not use it to build that solution, even if it is technically possible.
    Adobe's server side PDF creation product is LiveCycle PDF Generator https://www.adobe.com/sea/products/server/pdfgenerator/
    This comes in three editions. The "PostScript" edition is little more than a server-side version of Distiller, and will not convert TXT. However, the other two editions can convert a wide variety of formats.

  • Problems with some photos when converting Publisher files to PDF using Acrobat 9

    I tried to make a pdf of a publisher document that has a number of photographs. Two of the photographs appear grey with streaks -looks like some of the colours are not converting properly. The same document works fine with Acrobat 8 but not with version 9. Anybody have this experience?

    Graffit's suggestion did not work for me.
    I work for the Ontario government, and we are still using Office 2003. I am not sure what version of 9 we are using as we get bulk licences to use the program. I only got the program in August 2010. I used the default settings in the program.
    I try to open the publisher document in Adobe. I have also tried opening the publisher document, then converting it to the PDF. Both have two of the photos that don't convert properly. The other photos are fine.
    The two photos in question were given to us by the Communications department. I don't have the originals. The photos were copied from other document. I don't know what the format of the orginal photos were. The person in Communications has not responded to my request yet.

  • Not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

    Hi,
    I am not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. When I try to convert, it starts the process and in between I am getting this prompt, as shown in figure below and the conversion process stops. The PDF is not created.
    Note: The filename 'Acr85.doc' in the above prompt keeps changing and is random.
    I tried clicking Yes, No and Cancel on the above prompt, but the conversion process just stops and PDF is not getting generated.
    I am able to create PDFs from web pages. No issues with that. Not working only with Word.
    Can someone help me with this.
    Thanks,

    In MSWord please changes the settings as "Adobe PDF" menu => "Change Conversion Settings" goto Tab Bookmark and clicks the option Convert Word Bookmarks. Now you convert the Doc to PDF you can achieve the Bookmark.
    Hope this help you

    Please Help! When I try to convert to convert my .docX to pdf using Acrobat Pro X, it says file type unsupported.

  • Error converting web page to PDF using Acrobat 8 IE 9 on Vista

  • Can't convert files to pdf using Acrobat 8 Standard or 9 Pro

    I am having a major problem. I have tried converting both Word 2003 and Excel 2003 documents to pdf using Acrobat 8 Standard (I can't recall which version because I uninstalled and installed a trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro) and Acrobat 9 Pro. I have tried to convert directly from the open document and through Acrobat using create from file. In every instance the process starts and then stops after a few moments. When I try the conversion from within Acrobat, I get the following error message: " Pdf conversion failed, please correct the error and retry." When I try the conversion directly from Word or Excel, the conversion starts, stiops suddenly and gives no error message.  I have had Acrobat 8 Standard installed for a couple of years. It worked fine on this computer until the problem started a week ago or so. There have been no software or hardware changes that woudl trigger suspicion.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 8 Standard version. I have uninstalled the 8 Standard version and installed the 9 Pro trial version. I have run the repair module on both versions. I'm sure it is something simple but I just can't figure out what the "error" is that I need to "correct". Any suggestions?
    As an aside, I have several Adobe programs (Photoshop CS5, Contribute 3 and Acrobat), all of them expensive. Their business model of offering no unpaid support (even for this type of problem) is one reason I hate Adobe more than Microsoft... but I rant.

    When you uninstalled, you should have used the MS Installer Cleanup utility. It cleans up a lot of the junk left over in the registry. You should have also deleted the Acrobat folder. Then you would reinstall. You did not indicate your OS and it may be that you need to update the AA8 to get it to work correctly. Also, the installs and uninstalls can mess up your registration process if you are not careful. If you uninstall the AA9 trial, you will not be able to reinstall it for use. At this point, I can only suggest you do a repair of your installation and be sure you have all of the updates.

  • Converting multiple bmp files to PDF using acrobat 7.0 from DOS prompt

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to convert multiple BMP files in a folder to one PDF.
    I can use multiple file conversion option in acrobat to combine and convert them to one PDF .. but I have 2000 such folder to conver to PDF.
    PDF should be name after the folder name.
    Is there a to automate this in acrobat.. or can we run this conversion from DOS prompt using commands.. so that I can create a bat file and have them converted. Pls let me know.
    Thanks
    Pugazh

    I have not tried BMP files, but do JPeg, GIF, TIFF, and PNG files regularly. I simply open Acrobat, then select the graphics files in explorer and drag & drop to Acrobat. I then organize the graphics if needed (using the pages tab) and save to a PDF.

  • Converting excel file to PDF using Adobe 9 standard on windows XP

    I have installed office 2010 SP1 on a computer and it already has adobe 9 installed. user never had problem with converting multi sheet excel workbook to PDF using MSoffice 2003.
    Now, when we open excel files in EXCEL 2010 then try to print it to adobe 9, it asks for a filename and we type a name and it convert the first 2 sheet and then it asks again for the other filename and if we enter other name it print other sheets into second file. so basically it splits to 2 PDF files for no reason.
    I tested same file on my laptop with windows 7 and adobe standard 9 and office 2010  and i got same result.
    anybody knows what is the issue?

    Have you updated Acrobat? Have you tried printing to another file format just to see if it is an issue with Acrobat or OFFICE 2010. OFFICE 2010 has forced many folks to upgrade to AA X to obtain compatibility.

  • Converting Doc files to PDF using command line ?

    Hello,
    I need to automate the process of converting (in command line) word files to pdf.
    Is Acrobat distiller Server the right product ? or is there another product from Adobe that would allow me to reach this goal ?
    NB : currently using pdfcreator in command line but have some stability problems now...
    thanks a lot

    Acrobat Distiller Server can only convert Postscript to PDF. You may look at this product:

  • Converting a file to pdf using API

    I am using APIs for converting a word document into pdf file. I added 2 jar files adobe-convertpdf-client and adobe-generatepdf-client in my application and tried to convert a word document into pdf format. For this requirement should i have install livecycle, application server, Database etc. Can it be done using a java console application by using these jar files. If so Can anyone give me a sample code?

    Since cfdocument can render HTML, you may easily convert JPG
    to PDF, using
    <cfdocument format="PDF">
    <img src="myphoto.jpg" alt="my photo">
    </cfdocument>
    However, converting DOC to PDF or PPT to PDF with Coldfusion
    is not currently possible. DOC and PPT have proprietary MS Office
    formatting that is foreign to Coldfusion.

  • Missing page while converting Postscript files to PDF using Distiller 9.

    Hi
    Due to some incorrect hexadecimal code in the post script, one of the pages is not getting created in the full pdf. So, we can say that the page is missing in the complete pdf file.
    Here is my snapshot of the issue:
    1. Offending command issue on a particular post script data is coming up due to some incorrect hexadecimal data.
    2. If I run the postscript through Distiller 8, report is getting generated without any missing data.
    3. Whereas, if I run it throught Distiller 9.1.3, Distiller is ignoring the page due to following warning.
    %%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
    Stack:
    41
    ( À
    4. If I run the same Postscript file in Distiller 9.3 (latest version), issue is going away.
    5. But I have another Report pdf with the same  issue but this time with a different hexadecimal exception.
    %%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
    Stack:
    49
    (à ø&#127;À ø&#127;À øÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿÀ þ&#127;À þ&#127;à þ&#127;ø?þ?ÿÿþ?ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿýþ ÿùþ?ð&#127;à ø&#127;À ø&#127;À øÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿÀ þ&#127;À þ&#127;à þ&#127;ø?þ?ÿÿþ?ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿýþ ÿùþ ü%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
    So, either way, even if I upgrade my version of Acrobat from 9.1.3 to 9.3, issue doesnt go away. I think the new Acrobat Distiller is buggy and introducing new problems when compared to Acrobat Distiller 9.
    1. Works fine Distiller 8.0
    2. More problems with 9.1.3
    3. Lesser problems with 9.3 but I cant upgrade to 9.3 unless i see all the missing page problem going away.
    Can someone urgently look into this?
    Regards
    Hari

    I am calling Distiller using command line.
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrodist.exe" /f/Q/N C:\Reporter\debug\report.dst
    report.dst contains the the names of the post script files.
    (I have already contacted Distiller server forum and I was told to post the request in Acrobat forum)

  • Convert .txt file to .pdf using java code

    Hi,
    My requirement is to read the .txt file and convert it into .pdf file after changing certain text.
    Searched the net got a document on iText ..is it the only way for conversion or any other method....please help.
    Thanks in advance.
    Pooja

    Hi.
    You could review this [url|http://www.roseindia.net/java/java-conversion/TextToPDF.shtml].
    It is a good example to use the iText Library.
    The other option could be [PDFBox|http://pdfbox.apache.org/].
    Here some [example code|http://pdfbox.apache.org/userguide/cookbook/creation.html#HelloWorld].
    Another option, but more complicated is [Apache FOP|http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/].
    I hope you can find the right solution.
    Kindest regards, have a great day

  • Converting .doc file to PDF using Word 2008 - does not convert as is..

    I am trying to convert a .doc file (Word 2008) to a PDF file.  I have tried using the save as function and the print function.  Both will work however everytime 2 things happen:
    1.  The PDF file splits into 2 files (the document is 20 pages long)
    2.  In one area of text, two words are overlapped (in the PDF version) but are not overlapped in the .doc version.
    How do I convert the .doc to a PDF with out these two items occuring?
    Thanks in advance for your help
    T.

    I do not think this is an app but rather a function of MS-Word, the very function that does not work with high fidelity on Mac.  Any document of substance (greater than 10,000 words, imbedded images, figures, tables, or high formatting) will not convert accurately to PDF on Macbook Pro. 
    Using newest MS Office with updated service pacs, and experienced users. This is a puzzling incompetency on the Apple team's side. And there have been no fixes.  One could argue this is a MS problem since the software is theirs.  Probably true, but the problem occurs on Mac platforms, not PC platforms.  Apple can drive improvements.  Not sure Apple customers can.

  • Is there any way I can convert web pages to PDF using Acrobat X Pro in Explorer from Office 2013?

    I get the error message "Could not access Acrobat's web capture facility.  Acrobat may be busy or waiting for input."  I have Win 8 OS also. Is there any way to convert?

    I doubt that PDF Maker of AA X will work in OFFICE 2013. You should be able to print to the Adobe PDF printer, though I am not sure how AA X works in Win8, another potential problem.
    For a web site, you should be able to open the web site directly in AA X.
