Creation of a PDF hangs no matter from where it is started

Hi, 
we use Adobe Acrobat 9 (v9.55) and one of our collegues has a weird problem.
When he tries to create a PDF from Word over the Adobe PDF Plugin he gets asked twice for the place to save the PDF and after that the conversion hangs at about 10%.
We also tried the following:
We tried the Adobe PDF printer, the print job gets finished but no file gets created.
We tried to create the PDF from File in Acrobat itself, but same problem like in Word the conversion hangs at 10%
We tried to reinstall Acrobat but no change.
We also tried different Word files no change
Sadly there are no error messages of any kind in the Windows logs.
Anyone have an idea what the problem could be and how to possible fix it?

The creation in Acrobat depends on the PDF Maker in WORD working, so that step does not help. Just as a test, try to print to the Adobe PDF printer with the Print-to-File selected. Open that file in Distiller to complete the creation process.
Do you get a PDF using the process? If so, go back and check the properties of the Adobe PDF printer. It may be that you are not asking for the file location or such. Also check that AcroTray is running in the background (if not, then start it and retry the print process with out the print-to-file).
If you get the printer process to work, then let us readdress the PDF Maker issue.

    Jon has sent you to the right place, but I prefer a slight change to the location

    Perhaps start with Jon's page because it focuses on novice users, but the list in my link will let you chose things specific to your requirements.  I always think it is good to learn the things you will use over and over, because Photoshop is definitely a Use it or Lose it kind of application.

  • From where to start designing logo

    Hello everyone I know how to work with flash and photoshop but I am not sure about the good program to make the logo If I want to learn designing logo professionally from where should I start??????????

    I could not have said it better my self, you always should put alot of thinking, sketching before ever actually going into the program of choice. ( I would always recommend Illustrator to get most or all of the logo done in, espitially if your ever going to use the logo for print! vector is key! )
    - Excellent post!
    Re: from where to start designing logo
    Very good link!
    I
    feel that logo design starts long before any sort of graphics program
    comes into play. It is done with pen and paper, or perhaps a word
    processor, where the concept of the logo should arise from a lot of
    discussion and heavy thought. Many questions should be asked, and then
    answered, before the first designs are even committed to a sketch. A
    logo can convey a lot about a company, and should do so. A lot of
    thinking, mostly in words, is where I would urge anyone to start. Do
    this homework well, and first, and the rest almost becomes mechanical.
    When
    the concepts are nailed down, it's time to begin the actual process.
    The into PS as a rough, is a good one. One can try a lot of treatments,
    to refine the concept. Then, for a usable logo, I feel that AI is the
    next step, as has been stated. From there, one has complete control, and
    depending on the use at that moment, PS can often help with getting
    that AI file into a Raster image. InDesign can also be very useful to
    the implementation of the logo.
    Again, good article, and thanks,
    Hunt

  • Creation of Oracle model hanging MS SQL 7- 8.1.6

    Had a question answered yesterday which has got me almost there, for which thank you. Creating the Oracle model now maps almost all the objects in my SQL Server database (apart from a few roles, triggers and stored procedures), up to the point where the log window shows:
    [Timestamp] Mapping Roles mapped: 7, Roles NOT Mapped: 3
    [Timestamp] Mapping Mapping User Privileges
    [Timestamp] Mapping mapped user privilege :
    [Timestamp] Mapping mapped user privilege :
    [Timestamp] Mapping mapped user privilege :
    The process then hangs (it's been 21 hours now). Any ideas?
    Scott Doughty

    Your topic title, "Creation of Oracle model hanging MS SQL 7->8.1.6", caught my eye, but our situations aren't exact.
    Workbench is hanging on me during the Oracle Model creation when it gets to "Mapping tables". I also waited about 24 hours without any results.
    Do you have any insight to my problem?

  • When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is there any way to correct this problem?

    When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." When I save the same PDF file using FireFox it opens up immediately. Is there any way to correct this problem with Safari?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Looking for help for sharing pdf files with ipad from mac.  Pages only recognizes text.  What app should I use for file sharing pdf documents?

    Looking for advice on how to share pdf files with iPad from Mac.   Pages seems to only recognize text.   What app is recommended for pdf documents?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    If I understand your question, you want to read pdfs on your iPad, not create or edit.
    Drag pdf files to the iPad icon in Finder while connected to your computer via the USB cable.
    They will show up in the iBooks application
    (If you don't already have iBooks, it's a free download from the App Store.)
    Once installed, there are two buttons at the top left of the Bookshelf.
    One is Books, the other is Collections.
    Tap Collections, and you'll see Books and PDFs.
    Tap PDFs and you're there.

  • Sending a PDF document with email from ITS.

    Hi all,
    I'm working on the following scenario:
    I've a sapscript form which is being converted to PDF and then being dispatched to logged in user's email id. All this is happening in a report.
    Now, when I call this report from ITS, the email with PDF is not sent.
    I'm using following chain to do this task.
    1. Call a RFC function (FM1) module from ITS.
    2. Call another function module (FM2) from this function module starting a new task.
    3. From this second function module, I submit my aforesaid report with this code.
    SUBMIT ZV_SCRP_DOWN_PDF
      WITH s_vbeln   =  contract
      WITH p_parvw   =  p_parvw
      with user      =  user
      and return.
    4. Commit work in first function module(FM1).
    The problem is that this chain does not run when I call it from my ITS application whereas the same chain runs smoothly from sap, i.e I call the first function module and the email with pdf is sent to my email id. What am I missing here. Pl. help.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Problem printing PDF picture files imported from JPG using HP Colour InkJet cp1700 printer

    When I print PDF picture files imported from JPG using an HP Colour InkJet cp1700 printer, the picture spills over.  A wide range of other PDF files print OK.  Have tried things such as configuring the printer to scale to letter size, etc,, but without success.  Have a Windows 7 64 bit computer and Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.5.5.  Any ideas?

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @rt70 
    I understand you're having some issues with printing PDF files from a website on Windows 7.
    I would personally suggest trying to print from that website using a different web browser. If you're using Internet Explorer, try FireFox or Chrome, for example.
    You can also try running the Print and Scan Doctor tool, that will search and try and fix printing issues.
    If you have any issues that continue, please let me know what they are and which programs, websites, and web browsers you have tried, along with the results from running the diagnostic tool above.
    Good luck and have a great day

    Just subscribed to Acrobat for $19.99/year to be able to use expanded pdf manipulation features. From left hand window I signed in successfully. However when I try to use a feature like export to Word doc I am sent to Web page to subscribe for more money.  I thought I had already paid for access to these features by subscribing for the $19.99? What features did this $19.99 allow me if NOT to edit or export PDF files?

    Please check the name of what you subscribed to. You say "Acrobat" but that isn't $19.99/year. Unfortunately Adobe have products which do the same thing and need to be used in different ways.
