Converting a pdf file to a new pdf file acrobat 9s only creates a ps file.

Using win7 with adobe acrobat 9 standard. This is a new problew. With a pdf file open, and wanting to create a new pdf file using the print function with Adobe PDF as the prnter, I can no longer "print" the file to a new pdf file. Adobe "print to file" dialog box only provides the file type as a "ps" file. I have been using acrobat 9s without a problem. This is a new issue that just appeared today. See below - it won't allow me to print to a new pdf file. How can this be corrected?

Make sure the Print to File option in the Print dialog is ticked off.

  • Error when attempting to convert a PDF in Acrobat Adobe 8.1.7

    Upon attempting to convert a PDF drawing/file to a TIF format, one of our users receives this error message:.
    Acrobat could not save a page in this document because of the following error:
    The image is too wide to output.  Please crop it or reduce resolution and try again.
    The image that is being converted is a drawing and the estimator can not crop it as he must have the drawing  "as is" in order to do takeoffs on the image.  Does anyone have a solution for this?  thank you!

    Yea, for some reason Acrobat will open files that are large in layout size, but can not handle the type of conversion you were requesting. The print is a way around the problem. Glad it worked.

  • Converting CMYK PDF in InDesign to only hold 2 PMS / Black.

    I've been given a PDF file to place in InDesign that has bleeds and needs to carry only three colors. PMS 185c, PMS 300c, and Black.
    However the original PDF file the client sent has a logo on the cover and back cover that holds CMYK and a third PMS color. It's a pink PMS color (that I've been able to remove from the swatch panel), however when told to replace the color with PMS185, it still remains pink.
    I've pulled the PDF file into Photoshop to fill the logo with the correct PMS 185 c red, however Photoshop auto converts the entire file into CMYK.
    Is there a way to export the InDesign document as a PDF to only carry the three colors (replacing any left over colors / CMYK to just the two Pantones and Black)?
    I've tried pulling the document into Illustrator as well, but it would require me to trace and redesign the logo in order to set it to PMS 185 c.
    I just need a quick way to format all the colors to just Black for text, then PMS 185c and PMS 300c for the remaining images.

    I've pulled the PDF file into Photoshop to fill the logo with the correct PMS 185 c red, however Photoshop auto converts the entire file into CMYK.
    You need to create a spot channel in Photoshop for the red in the logo. It would look something like this where the image is only on the Black and 185 channel:
    And not this which is probably what you have:
    When you place the PSD with the spot channel in ID it will separate correctly like this:

  • How do I edit/convert a pdf using Acrobat Pro?

    I am trying to convert/edit(not sure of the proper term to relay my dilemna; my experience with Acrobat Pro and pdf's is limited.) a pdf file.  I want to use edit some of the content on the document.  I am aware of the "typewriter" tool and have used this in completing pdf documents fo "fill in" the blanks (ex: completing an application); however, this will not work when I try to edit the actual content.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Keep in mind you HAVE to use very "simple" language when explaining to me how I do this, ha!
    Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

    Maybe you need to remove your PDF security so then you can edit it. Adobe Acrobat cannot edit the limited PDF files.
    Remove the PDF security
    I am now using Adreamsoft PDF eidtor, With this smart PDF edit software, you can edit the text, images, annotation, layouts and pages of a PDF file. And you can also edit a PDF file by setting security password.

  • Word 2013 with text in front of a shape not converting to PDF with Acrobat XI

    Hello,
    I have a Word 2013 document with Shapes (Insert > Shapes) in the background.  Text is in front of the shape, shapes are set behind the text.  I take the document to work where I have Win7, Word 2010 and Acrobat X Pro and it converts perfectly, with the text in front of the shape.  No problem. When I get home, it doesn't work.  At home I have Win7 64-bit, Word 2013 (x64) and Acrobat XI Pro (latest everything, all patches up to date) and when I create a PDF either through Word, right-clicking on the doc and choosing convert, or from Acrobat XI it doesn't display the text.  I get the shape, and it looks like can even highlight the text, but the text doesn't appear.
    I just completely uninstalled both Acrobat XI and Acrobat Reader XI and then ran the latest Acrobat Cleaner (R2) and cleaned up both Acrobat and Reader.  Rebooted, installed Acrobat XI (no reader), updated with all the latest patches.  Still, the same problem with everything set to default.
    Please explain how to make my life better.
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Found the problem.
    Adobe, I found a BUG. I want a year of cookies.  Not the virtual type, I want real cookies.  Chocolate.  Maple.
    Word 2013 ...
    Create a doc and put some sort of FIELD in the footer.  I used STYLEREF and choose a Style.  That's a very common thing to do for keeping the title of your document in the footer.
    Now ... insert a SHAPE.  Make that shape sit BEHIND the text.
    DONE.
    Create your PDF.  The text won't be visible.
    BUG.
    Cookies.

  • Layered text and graphic in Word won't display when converted to PDF

    I have several simple shapes with text layered in front in my Word document. After they are converted to PDF using Acrobat XI, only the shape will display. I can tell the text is still there, because I can use my cursor tool to select it, but it won't display visually. It looks like it isn't there but it really is. One bit of text is even an internal link, and the link still works but I can't see the text I'm clicking on.
    If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.
    Thank you,

    Hi Lori - this was perfect! It was an issue with the layers being misordered. I used the Edit Text & Images tool listed under Tools > Content Editing, found the layers, then by right-clicking I was able to bring the text to the front and it all looks great now.
    I would like to know why this happened, or if not why, how I could make sure it doesn't happen again. If there's a check box or other setting I could use to remove this problem that would be fantastic.
    Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction!

  • Converting ms publisher 2007 files to pdf in acrobat x pro

    I really could use help with my project.  I have a publisher 2007 file which I converted to pdf in Acrobat x pro.  The links won't work.  There are 4 links.  2 to external web sites and 2 are email links.  I tried setting the links in publisher then converting.  That didn't workl.  I tried removing the links then converting and adding the links in Acrobat.  They don't work either after I publish them to my web site.  Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
    Thanks.

    Could you post the link you mention? How did you create the PDF from Publisher -- there are several ways and some save the links and some don't. Also, some are MS methods and others are Adobe methods.

  • Acrobat Standard (9.4.6) - Issue: "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form"

    I have Adobe Acrobat Standard (version 9.4.6).  I am trying to create a form but when I start the form wizard, locate the document to convert and click next, I get an error message "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form."  What's wrong?  (I've used this feature before in Adobe Pro so I am familiar with the process but I am using Standard now).  It's not letting me upload my document (an MS Word 2003 document).  Please, someone, anyone, help!  I think I got a bad batch of software here.  Any suggestions?  If it's hopeless, who do I call for a replacement if that's the case?  Is this software under warranty?

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your email.  The file I am trying to convert to PDF and create a form with is a MS Office Word 2003 file.  It isn't any specific file; the issue happens every time.  I type my text in the Word doc and then proceed to open Adobe Acrobat Standard and use the wizard to create a form from an existing file.  I tried to repairing the software but it does not help.  Any other suggestions?  Is this version of software defective?  I really need this feature.  I look forward to your reply.  Thanks.

  • "Unexpected Error" that meant I could not convert a PDF to XLSX

    I have an "Unexpected Error" that means I cannot convert a PDF to XLSX.
    Only Day 2 of my subscription. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Any clues? I have converted files successfully. Maybe this one is too big at 2.6MB?

    Sorry to hear you're having trouble!
    Try disabling OCR and converting the file again: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3062

  • Crashed when converting to PDFs

    I'm a library user .And we  have large numbers of TIFs & JPGs  to convert to PDFs by Acrobat X Pro.
    But after I run the action to all these files.The Temp file is becoming larger and larger in disk C.At last it crashed because there is not enough space in my system disk. Do you have any solution to make it more efficient. Thank you very much.

    You have to use the PDF Maker plugin in OFFICE 2003 to get the links embedded correctly. Otherwise, Acrobat is simply trying to estimate the link when it sees one.

  • Rendering problems when Word document is converted to PDF

    Why are sections of my Word files missing when I convert to PDF with Acrobat 11?
    These gaps are apparent with postings on the web using Firefox but not with other browsers

    Hi jas64,
    What version of OS you are using? Have you updated Acrobat to 11.0.6 version and checked.
    After converting to pdf are you trying to view the pdf on a browser? Or have you uploaded the pdf on to a website and then viewing it?
    Is Firefox using Acrobat / Reader to view the pdf files or is it using it's inbuilt pdf viewer program?

  • Can Acrobat XI convert an HTML file that contains an image map?

    An HTML page I have has a complex image map with many links. It works fine in HTML but in converting it to PDF in Acrobat 11, only the top row of links in the map work. Clicking vertically below one of these links activate the link at the top but not the intended one.
    I found this about creating an image map http://tinyurl.com/c6sonnj but do not understand the reference to Scene 7.
    If it helps here is the HTML:
