While trying to convert pdf to word--keep getting message "an error occurred while trying to access the service" Could I get some help please?

Could I get some help with this?

Hi Shelly,
Are you trying to log in to ExportPDF from Reader? If so, please make sure that you have the most current version by choosing Help > Check for Updates in Reader. You should be using version 11.0.07 (Mac OS) or 11.0.08 (Windows)--earlier versions caused this sign-in error that you're seeing.
Let us know how it goes!
Best,

Download error on PDFs--can't find helper--please help!

Hi,
I'm trying to use USPS.com to print labels. It used to work great for me until I downloaded the newest Firefox version and also installed the new CS3. I have Mac OS 10.5. When I go make a label at USPS (or try to download any PDF), I get an error like this and the document won't open, I can't print anything:
Download Error
/Users/heidinylnd/desktop/statement.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences
I have Acrobat 8 Professional. I downloaded Acrobat Reader 8 to see if that would put the required "helper" back in place. No luck. I even made that the default program to open PDFs. I used to get "Preview" to open the PDFs, but that's not working now, either. Erg!
Please help!
Heidi

I did! I had to fix it through Firefox. Apparently something doesn't install automatically with the new CS3 or 10.5--whichever is the culprit.
Try this:
Go to Firefox in your top menu options
Scroll down to preferences
When the "Main" screen comes up, click on "Content"
Hit the last button on the page, "Manage"
You'll then be able to see what program is linked to PDFs. On mine, no action was set once I installed the new programs and deleted my old version of Acrobat.
I didn't fix this in Explorer, but I'll bet there's a similar process. I worked on finding the answer for 4 hours--finally getting help through firefox's volunteer forums! I even downloaded the new Acrobat reader and that didn't do anything before this.
Hope it works for you, too!

Excel sumifs and the powerpivot version help please

very new to power pivot, can you help please?
In an excel table I was able to do the following...
=SUMIFS([GWP],[Date],[@Date],[PolType],[@PolType])
I have 60k rows where the above totals all GWP where the date & policy type match the individual record. This in effect gives a subtotal, per date per policy type rather than doing it in a pivot table. This works
nicely however it takes for ages to update, and calculate, also has issues when I then need to pivot table it.
As a result I'm trying to use powerpivot, as I understand it is better at dealing with these big calculations, I've tried the calculate formula, but I cannot understand how to have a rolling criteria in the field. Like I can in my sumifs.
Thank you in advance for your help
Mathew

To duplicate your original SUMIF as a Calculated Column in PowerPivot you could use one of the following:
Using EARLIER():
=CALCULATE(
SUM(Table1[GWP]),
FILTER(
Table1,
Table1[Date] = EARLIER(Table1[Date]) &&
Table1[PolType] = EARLIER(Table1[PolType])
Using ALLEXCEPT:
=CALCULATE(
SUM(Table1[GWP]),
ALLEXCEPT(
Table1,
Table1[Date],
Table1[PolType]
Both should produce the same result as a Calculated Column.
The second version with ALLEXCEPT() should also work a Measure/Calculated Field:
ALLEXCEPT Measure:=
CALCULATE(
SUM(Table1[GWP]),
ALLEXCEPT(
Table1,
Table1[Date],
Table1[PolType]
The advantage of the measure is that it should return the expected result in a pivot and filtering dynamically.
Your final measure would then be:
Percent GWP:=
SUM(Table1[GWP])/[ALLEXCEPT Measure]
In all examples, replace 'Table1' with your actual table name in Power Pivot.

I just bought and installed mountain lion, and I can't get to sign in to hotmail.Can I get some help please. Thanks.

I just bought and installed mountain lion, and I can't get to sign in to hotmail after several trials. I need help please. Thanks.

so its in a forum, which I didn't stumble upon because it wasn't anywhere in the adobe troubleshooting steps for Windows 8 that automatically came up for me when I clicked that I couldn't see the test flash movie on their site. I guess if I spent another half a day googling I might have found it.
BTW, unchecking Active X filtering in IE10, was NOT the fix. I had to go into the security tab, and change the custom active X setting I listed above. So this link you provided which mentions unchecking Active X filtering was not the fix that worked in my scenario.

Word to PDF conversion gets stuck at 10%. Acrobat 8 Professional.

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on Windows 7. I cannot convert Word Docs (office 2003 Professional) to PDFs. The conversion gets stuck at 10%.
What should I do?

Are you saving your MS Word doc as a PDF from within Word?
Try doing that, also some versions of Word had a PDF Maker button.
Once you have the Word file saved as a PDF, you should be able to open it in Acrobat 8.

Scanning directly to PDF on Windows 7 - HELP PLEASE !

I recently purchased an HP Probook 4540s that runs Windows 7 Professional and then learned that my HP Laser Jet 3052 all-in-one, that had beautifully scanned documents directly to PDF files when hooked-up to my old laptop that ran Windows XP Professional, doesn't scan directly to PDF. I'm told (but don't know for myself) that's because HP doesn't have a scanning driver for Windows 7 and Microsoft's drivers don't scan to PDF What can I do to have my 3052 scan PDF directly to my 4540s? I'm I stuck with having to buy a new scanner and, if so, which one(s) will scan directly to PDF on Windows 7 with an automatic feeder? Of course I can scan to TIFF and then convert to PDF, but what a hassle and the product is so much less sharp. Help, please!

As I'm sure you are aware you've asked in an Adobe hosted forum for Acrobat not a generic Q&A area like Yahoo Answers.
With that in mind --
Purchase and install Acrobat XI (Standard or Pro).
Visit the HP site to obtain/install the latest greatest drivers for the scanner.
If there's an appropriate TWAIN driver Acrobat will be able to "talk" to the scanner to facilitate creationg of PDF from the scanner's output image(s).
If not then use the scanner's software to output scanned images of textual content to TIFF.
Then use Acrobat to create PDF from the TIFF files.
Alternatively you may want to give a look-see to Adobe's online subscription services.

Excel to PDF Conversion in Version 11

Is there anyone else have a problem with Excel conversion to PDF and then the colours don't pull through to PDF on Version 11 of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
This is what it must look like ;

You've probably got two options to make a PDF from Excel, a button in a toolbar, or print to eh Adobe PDF writer. Try whichever one you're not using now and see if that helps.

Problems with Excel 2007 PDF conversion

I'm trying to convert an Excel 2007 workbook into a PDF. I installed Acrobat 8.1.3 Professional onto my machine and it put an Acrobat Menu choice in Excel. So I can convert, but now I have a host of problems/issues, probably arising from the fact that I'm new to this.
1. The Acrobat add-in moved my Page Breaks inside Excel
2. Now I can't seem to change the page breaks at all in Page Break Preview
3. My Reset Page Breaks in Excel is grayed out
4. Acrobat conversion gave me a message "Cannot create tags for Worksheets with Print Titles. Clear Print Titles field in Page Setup dialog". I did have Print titles, but now in that dialog box they don't show. The field isn't even editable.
I have saved the Excel file, not realizing that this Acrobat add-in has apparently altered the Excel file itself. I am now told by someone that I should just not use that Acrobat menu in Excel, and load the Excel file from Acrobat 8 itself. Nice to know. But is there anyway to "reset" my Excel file and remove/adjust what's been done to it, especially the Page Breaks. Or am I missing something obvious?

In general, you should not have the page breaks and all locked out by the addition of the Adobe PDF printer and converter. One trick to pull is to try to find the option in Excel Options that allows the output to use the printer metrics and be sure it is turned off. That should mean that you do not get changes as you change the printer. However, the issue of some of your menu items being locked and such is strange.

Acrobat 7.0 Pro Excel to pdf conversion problem

I have a multiple page excel document with specific data on specific pages, basically making slides within excel. When it prints to a printer, all is well and each page prints as it should. However, when I convert it to pdf for distribution, it seems like the pages shrink and I get data from page 3 on the bottom of page 2, data from page 4 on the bottom of page 3, and so on until a few pages later, I have a page with the bottom half of one slide, and the top half of another. Has anyone ever ran into this problem, or can anyone help find a solution? Thanks!!

Two parts of AA 7 will not install on Win 7 (32 or 64-bit): the Adobe PDF printer and AcroTray.exe. You can install a separate color PS printer (either one from Adobe or possibly one for an HP color PS printer), change the name to Adobe PDF and change the port to FILE. That should do the job, but you will ALWAYS have an extra step in the creation of a PDF. You will have to print to the printer and a PS file will be created (probably with a PRN extension). You then have to open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. From my brief testing, this process will work and the rest of Acrobat and Distiller seem to work (though I did not test extensively). If this is unacceptable to you, then purchase AA XI (upgrade not available from AA 7).

Excel to PDF conversion using OSB

We have a requirement to convert excel files to be converted to PDFs.
Wondering how to do this in OSB.
I can read the file from the source using the file transport.What must be next?
Any ideas please.

Thanks for the links.
I have the stand alone Java routine which does this conversion using APIs.
The challenge is what do I pass to the Java callout as input - The API methods accepts a file location as input or the java primitive byte[].
I pass $body/ctx:binary-content but seems the API method errors out.

Exporting as a PDF with missing fonts - help please?

Hi,
I am using Windows In Design CS4 and an agency provided us with a template via Mac OSX.
Some of the fonts they used appear to be missing on Windows (mainly the ITC bookman family), I open the file anyway. When I export it to a PDF the PDF appears for the most part to be the same, despite the missing fonts.
My questions are:
Is the copy now just a closest match chosen by In Design (I think it may be using Bookman Old Style? If not, what is stopping me using font inserted by an external agency?
Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy the ITC bookman family?
I appreciate your help; I’m a beginner who has to teach himself!!
Neil

Bookman Oldstyle should be a very close match (if that is, indeed, what's getting substituted). I wouldn't bother buying ITC Bookman, unless you have to roundtrip your files with the agency. Substituting fonts and checking line endings would get old fast.
So you can be sure of what's getting substituted, go to Type > Find Font, find all usages of ITC Bookman and replace them with Bookman Oldstyle. It seems like you have a PDF from the agency, so you can compare a few substitutions and see if anything changed. You should expect line endings in running copy (long paragraphs) to change slightly.
If you really feel the need to buy ITC Bookman, I would just buy it from ITC (http://www.itcfonts.com/fonts/detail.aspx?PID=201890). Their price is not going to be much different than anyone else's. Check with the agency to make sure they have Type 1 ITC Bookman, not Opentype ITC Bookman, and then buy the same format they have. It's even possible they have a Truetype version. You would want to match it exactly, so you would have to buy the same font that they have, but in PC format instead of Mac format.

Excel to PDF conversion fails to preserve freeze-frame heading functionality

Using Excel ver 13.3.4 on MAC OS 10.6.8 and Acrobat Pro 10.1.3.
I want to convert a 2-page Excel spreadsheet to a PDF.
The spreadsheet has a repeating header row, which has "Freeze-Frame" applied so that you can see the header when you scroll to the next screenload. But when I open the PDF, the Freeze-Frame doesn't work. I can't find any posts about this problem. Can anyone help me out?

Dear Pallavi,
Very useful post!
I am looking for similar accelerators for
Software Inventory Accelerator

Sizing Tool
Which helps us to come up with the relevant Bill of Matetials for every area mentioned above, and the ones which I dont know...
Request help on such accelerators... Any clues?
