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.

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

    Hi David Turner,
    What is the exact error message which you are facing while converting the file from .tiff  format to PDF format.

    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.

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

    How do i restore Preview as my default viewer.
    Seems adobe has hi-jacked Safari and and opens using abobe not preview.

    What kind of files?  PDFs?  or Others as well?
    If you want Preview to open all PDFs, then find a PDF on your HD.
    Highlight it, and then press the Apple/Comand key along with th letter " i " key.
    When the window comes up, look down to the "Open with" line, and change it from Adobe to Preview.
    Then look slightly below, and select "Change All."
    Now, all PDFs should open with Preview.

  • Adobe Reader will not email my .pdf files.  Message: "Email has not been set up on this device."

    Adobe Reader will not email my .pdf files.  Message: "Email has not been set up on this device."  I have 4 email accounts that have been set up.  When trying to email from Adobe, the email screen does come up, but does not allow me to enter any recipients in the field, and when I try, the email page's fields simply goes blank and disappears, taking me back to the document I am trying to send.  After trying repeatedly, I get the message about needing to set up my email.  My mother and I have also noticed that when  we try to open documents sent in A.R., they may open, or just go blank.  Any suggestions or fixes?

    Setting up your email is a bit out of the scope of this forum. I'd suggest asking for help in the Apple forums devoted to the iPad. Good luck.

  • Firefox will not open any pdf files

    FF will not open any pdf files with built in viewer or adobe. I have set applications in all different ways with no luck. PDF works with IE.
    I have ff 33.1.1 and Win 7 and i have tried all suggestions concerning pdf. I even downloaded ff again, uninstalled oldff, and installed new. no luck. all i get is a pop up stating ...download is in progress, please wait.... but it never loads. started after last update. Is ther a way to delete the last update to firefox?
    thanks

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac).
    #In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • 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.

  • Firefox will not print a pdf file

    I have Firefox 9.0 and it will not print a pdf file using the print icon but will print using Ctr+p. It will print in internet explorer. What do I need to do ?

    Which "print" icon - the one on a Firefox toolbar or the one in the PDF window?
    If you are using Adobe Reader to display PDF file, the newer version of Adobe hides the Reader toolbar by default - hit F8 to show the toolbar, the print icon should be on the Adobe toolbar.

  • 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

  • Preview.app will not display some PDF files

    Since upgrading Yosemite I have found that Preview.app will not display some PDF documents, the documents open but all the pages are blank. This is a big issue as my work involves reviewing documents that are all in the PDF format. Strangely some PDFs work properly but I haven't been able to determine any common factors among the documents that work versus those that don't work. The problem documents do open correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader but Reader takes over viewing of PDF container fields I have in several important FileMaker Pro 13 databases. Acrobat in the FileMaker databases for me is just as much of a problem as not viewing PDFs in Preview.
    After searching the forums I followed suggestion in a post to try using version 7.0 of Preview.app (the version that worked under Mavericks) but that is also showing blank pages. I have noticed that the PDFs which open as blank pages also display that way in Finder and Spotlight previews. Could this mean that I have some kind of OS level issue here and not a Preview.app issue? Perhaps Finder and Spotlight use Preview.app to generate the preview.
    I have posted this in a bug report to Apple but in the meantime I would welcome any suggestions or workarounds to try.

    The built-in PDF renderer has trouble with that file. You might get better results with Adobe Reader.

  • I've installed Adobe Reader twice and it still will not read a PDF file. What's up?

    I've installed Adober Reader twice now and it still will not read a PDF. What's up?

    I have the same problem. Adobe Reader worked fine until the last few days. I run Windows 7 and all I get is a small black cross in the top left corner of the screen. I can open downloaded pdf files, but not anything new from the internet.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled the program and have run every type of scan I know of without any change.
    This seems to be a common and recent problem, so I would like to know what's being done about it.
