CS6 not creating layered PDF's

Why can I not create a pdf file from CS6 that preserves my layers, which are also known as OCG's, Optional Content Groups?  In "save as pdf", I have layers checked and I am indicating I want to preserve Photoshop functionality, which causes the PDF/X box to go to "None".  What am I doing wrong?  I know there is a script for saving each layer as a pdf automatically from which I could build the layered Acrobat file I want, but it I'd like a one-step process.  There is every indication that this should happen, but it does not.

Answering both you and Mylenium,
I don't think there is blending going on.  I have saved it layer by layer as individual pdfs and it's worked fine when I bring them in as layers in Acrobat Pro X or Bluebeam.
Pfaffenbichler, you may be right.  Basically what you are telling me is that Photoshop can't save Acrobat layers into a multi-layered pdf, but simply in a format that allows the pdf file to be reopen with layers in Photoshop.  That seems strange that Adobe would not be able have Photoshop save into the newer, layered, versions of the pdf format it created and have the layers show up.

    Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

    Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8,  for the simple reason it was
    created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
    OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
    current version for compatibility.

  • Windows 7, Office 2007, Adobe Acrobat cs3 - will not create a .pdf from word doc

    I can not create a .PDF file from a 2007 word.docx file.  I have tried a few different word docs, including a document I created just to trouble shoot with.
    I tried opening the .docx in Word and then going PRINT - ADOBE PDF.  When I do this 'nothing' happens. No dialogue box opens, nada.
    When I open Adobe Acrobat and try to 'create' I get this error: "Adobe acrobat could not open"name.docx" because it is not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged...".

    See what dot version is in place.
    Support for Office 2007 applications began with Acrobat 8.1; so, you want that or better.

    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.

  • How do I fix this and see the error message when Adobe does not create a pdf from word?

    I have a trial version of Adobe X and it will not create a pdf.  A short message comes up but disappears before I can see what the problem is. Please help me fix this?

    Possibly, though there isn't much to go on. Let's start with the basics.
    Can you start the Acrobat application? It will sit there, looking like Adobe Reader or something?
    If so, can you open an existing PDF, if you have one?
    Ok, now creating a PDF. There are MANY ways to do this, so what steps are you following, and where does it fail?

  • Will not create a pdf

    I was happy with Pro XI trial and so purchased the monthly version which I downloaded.  But it will not create a PDF.  It is unable to find any exisitng document, in word or any other form.  I have shut down and restarted.

    Thank you so much for your concern. Prashant at the Adobe help got on with me and fixed a problem with my Office suite.

  • Bridge CS6 not creating preview extractions for .mp4, .mov .wmv or .avi

    In all versions up to now when I would cache my folders with video files they would create preview extractions so that I could scroll through the video in the Preview Pane.
    The only files that are doing this now are the .flv files (which ironically do not create a thumnail image, and never have in Bridge, but that's another topic altogether.)
    I looked through all the preferences and I don't see a way to turn preview extractions on or off.
    How do I "force" Bridge to create the previews and why did it not do it automatically like all previous versions have?
    Thank you!
    I have a brand 2 month old top of the line iMac with all the latest software and plenty of free space. This is definitely an issue w Bridge, not my computer.

    I was having an issue very similar to this. I tested it on CC, CS6 and both did the same thing. No previews and if i tried to purge the cache, it would stop responding all together. Then I noticed I had an eps file with no file extention. I went ahead and removed it from the folder and now everything works like it should. If the above option of purging does not work, try to remove the files and see if one of them is an issue.

  • Acrobat 9.4.6 will not create Word PDF.

    Hi --
    I have a Adobe Acrobat PRO 9.4.6 installation that can not create a Word 2003 SP3 documents to a PDF. If I create a text file I can covert the file to a PDF.  If I careate a new word documnet file with "hello world", save the file to a DOC or DOCX,  and try to convert it to a PDF the distiller does through the process and simply stops responding. 
    OS Vista 32 bit
    office 2003 SP3
    Office 2007 compatability pack is installed
    I did try removing Acrobat and reinstalling it with the same results. 
    Any ideas what I should try next?
    Thank you for your assistance.

    Thanks Bill,
    Since then this is what I have found.
    If I use the Printing feature files can be opened in Solaris Gnome PDF Viewer, but as you know, links and bookmarks will be lost.
    I tried to set the backward compatibility option to Acrobat 1.3 (the oldest option) but somehow it always resets to 1.6 when I save the PDF file.
    All fonts are embedded and I have reinstalled Acrobat just in case.
    I tried with different PDF converters and so far Foxit Phantom PDF works fine with Solaris (and also cheap). It gets stuck when there is a complicated line drawings in the Word file, but otherwise it has been stable and bookmarks/links have been alive. If I don't find a breakthrough in a couple of days, I will switch to Foxit.
    Anyhow, thank you for your support.

  • Distiller will not create a .pdf file

    Yesterday, I noticed—out-of-the-clear-blue-sky— that whenever I tried distilling a layout file in .eps, I kept getting 'Error' messages whenever I tried Distilling anything and Distiller wouldn't create a .pdf file!
    This is what I recieved.
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: MMXPR3 ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    Distill Time: 0 seconds (00:00:00)
    **** End of Job ****
    I even tried using an .eps file that I had created a .pdf file, from Distiller, on the previous day, and that wouldn't work either. So whats going on?
    I finally got fed up and just uninstalled Acrobat and Distiller, and reinstalled it, and that didn't work either. My Acrobat also won't manually update now. I keep getting a "Update Internal Error." This also kept happening after I reinstalled it.
    I need to use my Distiller in order to get a Press Quality .pdf.
    I'm operating on a Mac OS X 10.5.8
    I'd appreciate any help I can get.
    Melodie

    Sounds like an EPS with preview? Not suitable. Use postscript for printing, not EPS.

  • New computer.  Acrobat 7 will not create the pdf maker

    Got the file from the [email protected] site as directed by tech support. It loaded and can open pdf files but will not create.  When installing it said cannot create the pdf maker.
    How can I fix?

    Hi ronc638131,
    What operating system are you using? I'm guessing that if you have a new computer, you most likely have an operating system that is much newer than Acrobat 7, and on which Acrobat 7 was never tested. Please see the Acrobat system requirements  here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-acrobat-family-produ cts.html

  • InDesign CS6 not tagging interactive PDF

    I don't know if I am doing something wrong but I can't get InDesign to export a properly tagged PDF.
    Can anybody please try the following steps and confirm the results:
    Create a new document in InDesign
    Draw a text box on the document
    Type "Text" in the text box
    Create new paragraph style called "My heading"
    Under Export Tagging in the Paragraph Style Options select "H1" under PDF->Tag
    Add the text box to the Articles panel
    In the Articles panel fly out menu activate Use for Reading Order in Tagged PDF
    Export document as Adobe PDF (Interactive)
    In the Export to Interactive PDF options window both options for Tagged PDF are checked
    Open the document in Acrobat Pro
    Open the Tags navigation pane
    Expand the tag hierarchy
    If the document is tagged correctly one of the tags should be labeled <H1> . Instead min is labeled what I called it within InDesign <My_heading>. This is essentially making larger documents with multiple heading levels inaccessible.
    Can anybody else confirm this issue or provide a fix (other than manually changing tags from within Acrobat Pro)?

    I tested in InDesign CC. (This bug would not be fixed in InDesign CS6.)
    I can confirm that this bug is still in InDesign CC (see illustration below).
    I don't know how to fix this except manually in Acrobat. (I don't normally work with accessibiility issues.)
    I'd suggest reporting the bug here:

  • Firefox does not create a pdf properly using "print Save as pdf" in Mac OSX. Why?

    When I "Print > Save As Pdf" in Mac OSX, Firefox will always clip the right margin of the page, leaving out alot of information from the document. Safari creates the same page effortlessly, but I generally prefer Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == ? After updating to Firefox 3.5.8 - maybe?

    I am able to command-print-save as PDF and get the whole page but Firefox crashes every time.

  • Why has Adobe not created a .pdf reader for Blackberry?

    It would seem to be advantageous for Adobe to write an Adobe Reader specifically for blackberry, in that it is one of the most-used mobiles out there.
    Why other OSes and not for Blackberry?

    Well, Les, I appreciate the suggestion, but it is brand new and has the latest operating system.
    The problem is most noticeable to folks like me who often use JPEG-based .pdf files. As you know, before you zoom in, you have the prettiest little miniature image on your screen you ever saw, but it is not readable. When you zoom in to where the type (or music) becomes readable, there are artifacts that make it almost illegible -- certainly not easy to read in any case.
    Plus, there are .pdf files I've received in my short time of use that would not open, and I've heard many others complain of the same thing.
    Lastly, because I would like to open my .pdf files from a third-party app, I would prefer a reader that works in tune with all apps, not just email.
    Thanks for the input, though. :)
