Getting errors printing to PDF with Acrobat 8 in Leopard

I get the following error when trying to print to PDF in Acrobat 8 under 10.5:
"No %%BoundingBox: comment in header"
What does this mean and how do I fix it?
I have updated to 10.5.4 and Acrobat 8.1.2 with the same results. The error remains the same in the PDF print queue, though the job actually disappears now that I upgraded Acrobat. The jobs remained in the queue before, they simply stopped the queue but remained.

When do you get the error, exactly? This doesn't sound like an Acrobat
error. Are there any clues (like a title bar, something active in the
doc) what is putting out the message?

  • Can't print to pdf with Acrobat 7.1.0 in Vista

    I am unable to print to pdf with Acrobat 7.1.0 in Windows Vista.  I used to be able to, now all of a sudden that functionality is gone.  I haven't knowingly done any upgrades since the last time I successfully printed to pdf, but I do have autoupdates enabled, so I can't say what Microsoft may have been up to recently.  When printing to pdf from Internet Explorer 7, the window simply closes.  A printer icon shows up in the system tray but registers 0 print jobs and soon disappears.  When printing to pdf from Word (2003), Word crashes with a series of message boxes saying something about attempting recovery.  Any suggestions?

    AcroTray is running.  Thanks for asking that question, as this is one thing that I have disabled on computers running XP, since disabling it in XP doesn't adversely affect my limited use of Acrobat in any way.  I have not disabled it with Vista.  I tried printing to file, and that also caused the window to close.  I happened to have a second IE7 window open when attempting to print to file, and it did not close, so it only affects the active window.  I don't know if that helps at all; when a program crashes, I typically observe it take with it all open windows associated with that program, so the fact that this is only closing the active window seems potentially useful to me in my ignorance of what is the root cause. 

  • After clean install cannot print to pdf with Acrobat 8 Pro

    I recently had to do a clean install on my desktop computer.  Is there some way I can print to pdf with my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, which was working fine prior to the clean install.  I am aware Adobe no longer supports this version, but isn’t this program able to function without being updated?  Want to print pdf files from websites and Microsoft office.  Am running Windows 7 Ultimate OS.

    Hi jadbe,
    Windows 7 is not a tested platform for Acrobat 8.

  • Cannot print to pdf with Acrobat 8

    I have just gotten a new laptop and moved my CS2 over to it. Everything works fine except I cannot print to a pdf like I used to. I can save as a pdf, but when I print to Adobe pdf, the printer icon pops up in the system tray. When I click on it, the window displays the print job with status: Error-sent to printer. It's the same thing when I try to print a web page or a Word document to a pdf.
    By the way, this version of CS2 came with Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 on seperate disks from the CS2 installation disks. Thanks in advance for the help.

    And by the way, I did look at my startup folder. The following items are checked:
    Adobe Acrobat Speed Launcher
    Adobe Acrobat Sychronizer
    Adobe Systems, Inc. Gamma Loader
    AcroTray - Adobe Acrobat Distiller helper application

  • Problems with print to pdf with Acrobat Pro 9 and FireFox 8

    ***The page I am using for my base is: http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/2010/12/google-ebooks.html
    ***I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and FireFox 8 installed.
    The problem with FireFox is when I select a part of a web page and try to print that selected text the first line gets chopped, if the text is small the first line might even be missing completely.  Perhaps it is a margin issue but not sure how to modify this.
    I know I am not being very clear but if anybody has any ideas or would like further info please let me know.
    Thank you.

    I suspect if you do the same process with a print to paper, you will get the same result. I got the same result with SeaMonkey, but IE8 printed the full font to a PDF. That would suggest it is not Acrobat, but the browser. As I said, suggests, so be careful about drawing your conclusions.

  • Problems printing to PDF with Acrobat 7.1.0

    I'm trying to print a document into PDF file; however the size of this document should be around 31 pages. After 10 pages, I'm asked to save the next 10 as a different file. Which settings to I need to adjust to print everything into one PDF file instead of 3 or 4 separate ones?

    Never had such a problem. It may be that your pages are very large or something, but I have never heard of the result you are getting. What is your application and exactly what steps (windows, etc) are you taking to create a PDF. It helps if we can try to replicate your problem.
    I regularly create documents that approach 100 pages, so the 10 page issue is not the norm.

  • Problem printing PDF with Acrobat Pro 9.4.4

    Hi!
    I can't correctly print a PDF with Acrobat Pro that was created in Indesign CS5.
    I want to print it on a letter format (8,5 X 11") and it offers me a format of 8,49 X 10,99". It results in having my document being printed as tile with it's original format 12 X 21,5" as if I didn't adjust the format to be reduced.
    I temporary used Preview to print my PDF, but now I can't as the encoding in which I received the PDF used to be "Creo Normalizer JTP" and now it is "Adobe PDF Library 9.9"
    If anyone can help!
    This is my first time here, thanks in advance for your help

    Here's what it looks like (I work in french, hope you can understand)
    I just updated my software, thanks for that!
    Now, my problem is still on... I still have the very same result when I print. I did selected the correct Page Scalling I needed. I did selected the paper size I wanted. I chose Shrink to Printable Area and I tried with Fit to Printable Area.
    Since I've had this problem the size appears as : 8,49 X 10,99 (Instead of 8,5 X 11). I tried with Legal (8,5 X 14) but it appears as 8,49 X 13,99. I went through the preferences, but I can't find anything that could be the problem.
    Any other idea?
    Thanks!!
    Also, Preview was very helpful, as it did print my PDF correctly! I understand it's not the best... but it did the job

  • Error: "The system cannot find the file specified" when trying to print to PDF w/ Acrobat 9.5

    I get an Error: "The system cannot find the file specified" when trying to print to PDF w/ Acrobat 9.5 using Windows 7.  This just started happening after upgrading to MS 2013 suite and also installed Adobe Reader at that same time.
    I had problems in the past when Reader was installed with Acrobat, so I uninstalled Reader, but the problem still seems to occur.
    any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Tbeirne,
    If you just want to save a pdf opened in Safari to your machine use the save as option from within the Reader plugin window. Just click on any of the buttons highlighted in below screenshots to Save a pdf at any location on your machine.
    or
    To summarize the issue, if you had opened an Internet PDF in a browser plug-in, you must use the save feature in the plug-in, not the Safari File > PDF Export, or File > Save As...
    Please let us know if this solution works for you and you are able to save and view PDFs files locally.
    Regards,
    Shashi

  • Unable to combine files on acrobat 8 getting error message "no PDF file was created beacuse Acrobat encountered an unidentified error"

    unable to combine files on acrobat 8 getting error message "no PDF file was created beacuse Acrobat encountered an unidentified error" Please help

    A lot of the time the files can not be combined because of incompatible fonts, or at least font sets that could not be resolved. Maybe that will give you some direction to look at.

  • How to convert large Word 2007 doc (1200 KB) to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard

    I'm trying to convert a large Word 2007 document to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard.  It gets as far as 58% and then says it is unable to complete the conversion.  How can I fix this?

    The file you are working on is really not that large. There probably is a problem on a certain page of the document. Break the document in half. Try to create a pdf file from each half. Hopefully, one half prints properly and one-half does not. Take the half that does not break it in half.  Try to convert each half into a pdf, etc...
    Eventually, you will find which page has a problem. Most likely there is a graphic or a font used on that page that has problem. Most likely a graphic. That graphic will need to be recreated.

  • When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/
