Help: Adobe PDF Convertor Installation Error

I'm trying to install Adobe Acrobat 3D 8.1 on my Windows XP system. At then end of the installation process I receive the following error:
"Warning 20225: Adobe Acrobat 3D setup was unable to create a new item: Adobe PDF Convertor. The Adobe PDF Printer may be unavailable. Get Last Error: The specified module could not be found."
Upon completion, the software runs fine except the problem that I'm not able to create PDF files.
What could be the possible cause of this error and how to recitify it?
Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.

Adobe Flash CS4 installation error

Hello,
I just downloaded trial version of Adobe Flash CS4 (Englisth|Windows) but after unpacking the archive and starting setup.exe I am getting error msg (see att). Are there any error logs with more information??
Text is in czech language so here's translation:
-----------First window-----------
Adobe Flash CS4 - Installation Error
Installation Error
An error occured while installing. Ask for help at Adobe support.
-----------Second windows-----------
Installer of Adobe Flash CS4 application: inicialization
Checking system profile.
Is md5 hash available for integrity check of installation package?
System info:

3GB RAM
about 160GB free HDD space
Windows Vista Ult. 64b
Thanks for any help!

There is no fix. Flash Pro is not compatible with Win 8 even in CS6. There are dependencies with Flash Player components and the way it's handled in Win 8 prevents it from working liek the app expects.

No. Reader will not damage files. It is only meant to read pdf files. PDF files are frequently damaged when sent as email due to encoding issues.

Seems like some who have tried two devices on the JMICRON IDE port have had trouble. Try without the hard drive and see if you get that error. If that is the case I would try a PATA to SATA converter for your hard drive and connect it to one of the Intel SATA Ports.

CS6: Adobe Help Manager - PDF download/extraction error

Hi - we have received several reports through this forum that some users are encountering an issue when downloading Help reference PDFs through the Adobe Help Manager in CS6.
Problem: Although the application appears to be downloading the Help content, the application hangs during the 'extraction' phase of the process. Further, when users check in their shared documents folder, the PDF files are actually present and unzipped as expected.
Solution: the application database files and/or corrupt configuration files are likely at fault. To resolve the issue, please delete the following two directories.
Delete the following directory:
Windows: %appdata%/chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.1
Tip: To find this directory in Windows, copy the preceding phrase into the Windows Explorer file manager.
Mac OS: /[user name]/Library/Preferences/chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.1
Tip: To find this directory on Mac OSX 10.7, open the Terminal application and enter the following: "chflags nohidden ~/Library/” and execute.
And delete this directory too:
Windows : C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe\ (Help and PDF directories within)
Mac : \Users\Shared\Documents\Adobe (Help and PDF directories within)
Then simply restart the Help Manager and restart the download process.
The engineering team is continuing to investigate the root cause but the steps above should resovle the issue for the majority of users. Thanks for your patience while we continue to investigate.

Hi Mark
I was almost sure that this issue was related to our proxy, so I decided to trace the dialog between HelpManager and our proxy.
I used a HTTP sniffer called Charles ( demo downloadable here: http://www.charlesproxy.com/ ) to trace everything.
Bingo !
HelpManager has some problems talking with the proxy ( authentication issues ).
If you are interessed, I can mail you the log created by my sniffer to allow your engineering team to investigate.
Hereafter are some screen shots of the trace :
As you can see, it's very short :
1) the first HEAD failed (normal) : the proxy request an NTLM authentication
HEAD #1 request :
HEAD #2 answer :
2) the 2nd HEAD failed :
HelpManager did not respected the NTLM authentication method requested by our proxy !
HEAD #2 request :
HEAD #2 answer : error 403 !
3) then a POST is made :
Failed because the authentication is bad (not NTLM, as expected by our proxy)
POST request :
POST answer : error 403
4) then a GET is made on the URL :
http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/update/400/fr_FR/update.xml
This time, the authentication negotiation between HelpManager and the proxy is OK, but the last GET failed : error 404, the requested xml file is not found on your site !
GET #3 request :
GET #3 answer : error 404
Mark, I hope these informations will help your engineering team to correct this issue !
Feel free to request complementary information if needed.
Best regards,
Didier Nicolas

Adobe Acrobat X Installation Error

We have many Windows machines with Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard installed and running without issue, and they can update just fine. When we try to install the newly purchased Acrobat X Standard on these machines, the installation fails at the very end after creating the PDF printers. We have tried letting the Acrobat X installer remove Acrobat 9, and we have also uninstalled Acrobat 9 manually before attempting the Acrobat X install. We are installing with local admin rights.
The error still occurs, and Acrobat X installation fails with :
Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly component {C6357C55-7461-3D51-9AE5-FD71CA24027A}.
HRESULT : 00x8007051A.
Then we hit OK, the entire installation rolls back and fails. However, we are able to reinstall the Acrobat 9 Standard without issue.
Any help or direction would be much appreciated.

Good day,
Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Try the solutions outlined in this document: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-1935-install-acrobat-reader.html if you're still having trouble.
Kind regards,

Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files error

Hi Good Day.. I just installed my Acrobat Professional 11 last week.. I had no problem with the 2 computers but in 1 computer I'm experiencing this error while trying to combine excel files into PDF...
" Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files
Do you want to run the installer in repair mode? "
I tried to run in repiar mode but still the same, tried to unsinstall the software and reinstall but still the same.. Did anyone experience the same problem? Please help!
Thank you!

I get a similar error, but only under the following conditions: I must be printing to the Adobe PDF printer and printing multiple pages, one at a time, and then it only happens on the second and subsequent print attempts. That is to say, the first page prints just fine and this just started yesterday afternoon. The specific file referenced in the error does not exist, but why would it work the first time and not the second? Since it only started yesterday, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling this morning, but it made no difference. I don't see anything under print properties like job-options and it is a single user, unshared printer. Thoughts? I understand the same thing is happening in at least one other of our locations, but no one there has looked into it yet. This is a BIG problem for me, however, and I need to find an answer quickly.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Installation Error 2?

Support:
I just purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 for my office and I'm having issues installing Acrobat 9. All other applications install, etc: Photoshop, Dreamweaver. To get ready I uninstalled all my old CS3 software and used the CS3 clean utility from Adobe. Then I searched all my files and registry and deleted all leftover files and registry entries.
I restarted and began to install my wondrous new CS4! Everything went well until the end of the installation. I got an error saying Adobe Acrobat could not be installed. It gave me the below output, basically put: "Error: Error 2". I then went to the support site and installed the Adobe Air, Adobe Support Advisor. After a quick check of the "Creative Suite Product Install" option it returned, "The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file.".
Adobe Installer Error Info:
"Sorry you are experiencing trouble with this installation.
Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional (At install, older versions get upgraded. A l'installation, les versions plus anciennes sont mises à niveau. Bei der Instalation werden ältere Versionen aktualisiert.)
Error:
Error 2."
I don't know what to do now. I desperately need Acrobat installed for my business. I have searched the support site up and down and have found no information on the issue. I did find a support issue which says, "Acrobat 9 is not installed as part of Creative Suite 4 on Windows (XP 64-bit, Vista 64-bit and 2003 Server 64-bit): Adobe Acrobat 9 fails to be installed as part of Adobe Creative Suite 4 on Windows XP 64-bit, Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows 2003 Server 64-bit." However I have an x86 (32bit) system. Hell, I even tried to install the Windows KB update file and it wouldn't let me due to my system being 32bit. Link to the issue below:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb407134&sliceId=1
I then also found a user who reported the infamous Error 2; however sadly he did not have the exact same issue although similar. He too ran the analyzer application and it also found no errors. He is also running a similar setup to mine (see specs below). He gets the same error when trying to install the other applications such as Illustrator, Photoshop, etc... To this day his issue has not been taken care of. Link to his issue is below:

Bob -
I know my original post was over a year ago, but unfortunately I wasn't ever able to resolve it. I worked with tech support over the phone wasting hours of both of our time trying to resolve this problem. Now when I need to use Acrobat 9 Pro, I have to access it with my laptop and then transfer my work back to my desktop computer in order to use the rest of the CS4 Suite on my desktop. The crazy thing is I'm running the exact same XP software on my laptop as I run on my desktop and Acrobat on my laptop works great. So I have no doubt that Acrobat works well with 64 bit systems on Vista and 7, but I'm not very confident that by upgrading to a new windows operating system will result with success. This issue seems so strange to me since I am able to run 50 other applications on my desktop from other software manufacturers and can successfully download new applications from any software manufacture with the exception of Acrobat. If anyone has a similar problem and can figure out a solution, please let me know.

Solution**********************************************
Support:
I have figured out the solution to the issue on my own. I usually have the print spooler service disabled on my work PC to combat intellectual property theft. However, I remembered that I once had an issue installing Adobe CS3 Master Collection (Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro). The older generation Adobe software (Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro/CS3) displayed the error that the print spooler service was not started and provided a solution. What is really strange is that the newer software (CS4) simply gives no description of an error and simply outputs "Error 2".
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro included with Adobe CS4 Master Collection will not properly install if the print spooler service is not enabled and started! After the install you can disable the print spooler service as usual, but it is necessary upon installation to have it running. In addition, Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 (Free Edition) will install and perform as usual with the print spooler service disabled. I suggest putting this information on your site for others who may experience the same issue in the future.

Acrobat 9 Standard - 'Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files error'!

Hello,
This is my first post here. YES, I have searched for same/similar threads, but none of the offered "fixes" work.
I have 5 Dell Optiplex 740 computers running XP Pro, SP3. All have current Dell BIOS of 2.2.4. Most are current with Microsoft security patches/ updates, as they are set for auto update. 4 are running Acrobat Standard 8.1.2. 1 is running Acrobat 9 Standard.
All 5 are experiencing the following error message:
I have tried the repair option; I have uninstalled and reinstalled; I have uninstalled and installed v.9 on the one, and I am still receiving the error message. I am at wits end and need help!
Is there an expert around here that could offer any assistance?
I can provide more information, just tell me what additional you need!
Thanks for any and all assistance you can offer!

Adobe PDF 8.0 error - cannot print on MacBook Pro

I have just checked and I am up to date on on software. Since getting this laptop I have not been able to print to PDF with the Adobe PDF 8.0 printer. I have deleted the printer - which sets up fine. And re-added it back in.
When I print I get this in the printer queue:
Error: /user/libexec/cups/filter/pstops failed
I don't really know what this means. Except that I cannot print. I can print to my wireless printer however - no problem!
I wanted to fix this before I started adding any other printers. Please let me know if more info is needed.

It is not a "work-around". It is the intended behavior of Snow Leopard 10.6.x
Apple intentionally changed the way SL handles "print to PDF" and SL intentionally disables the Adobe Acrobat printer driver.
Once I removed the Adobe Printer from System Preferences -> Print & Fax and restarted the computer, a new option appeared under the (PDF) button on the Print window: "Save As Adobe PDF". This is an Automator action that does everything that the disabled "Adobe Printer" used to do.
Hope that helps. (jk)

Adobe PDF Reader causing error in Windows 7

Greetings everyone.
I created a very simple VB.NET windows form application that only has one control, the Adobe PDF Reader. I created this project in both VS 2005 (.NET 2.0) and VS 2010 (.NET 3.5). My developer machine is XP SP3 32 bit. I experienced the same problem with version 8 and 10 of Adobe Reader.
When I compile the application and run the EXE file on my XP machine, everything is fine. I can see the form with the Adobe PDF Reader control. When I try to run the same program on our new Windows 7 SP 1 32 bit test machine, I get a generic Windows 7 error that says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program" and I never see the form.
Has anybody else had this experience with Adobe PDF Reader on Windows 7?

I appear to have found the solution to the problem RE AcroPDF.dll with Windows 7.
I had Visual Studio 2010 installed on our Windows 7 test machine. I added Adobe Reader to the list of controls. When I tried to add the control to a form I got an error that said:
Failed to create component 'AxHost'. The error message follows: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
When I researched this error in Adobe's forums, I found another user that basically said I needed to go to the Internet settings, under Preferences for Adobe Reader X, and make sure the box for Display PDF In Browser was checked.
After testing with my applications, this does appear to resolve the problem.
Let me know if anyone has any additional comments. Thanks for the help.

Adobe Reader 9, Installer error 1635

Hi, I have a problem updating Adobe Reader 9.4.2. to version 9.4.3
Direct after starting the update I receive the installer error:
"1635 This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package."
I have tried this MS fix (MicrosoftFixit50123.msi) but it did not help.

I must say that a few days ago I also had an issue updating Adobe FlashPlayer. It would tell me at boot there was an update available, and after giving it the OK it started downloading, and installing, but although the installing gave no errors at all, both the FlashPlayers for Internet Explorer and Firefox were NOT updated, and only after a lot of these 'fake' updates I noticed it because a following update for Firefox told me my FlashPlayer was out of date while I saw FlashPlayer update that same morning.
Downloading and un-installing/re-installing both FlashPlayers did the trick... But now, a few days later another Adobe product has a problem updating.
I have not yet re-installed the reader, but since I have seen it work for 4 years, and since it MAY be related to Adobe Flash, I would like to see if someone can shine some light on this issue first.
I work with Windows XP Prof completely updated ( except... Adobe Reader).
Thanks.
Edit:
Meanwhile i have tried to uninstall Adobe Reader, but the same error persist.

As far as I can see the problem is solved.
You gave me the tip for the Windows Cleanup Utility, but the support for the program has stopped because some removals did damage to other installs. So I had some second thoughts about it.
But your idea brought me another, to use the Revo Uninstaller.
http://www.revouninstaller.com/
* Made a system restore point
* Downloaded Revo uninstaller Pro 30 day trial, but full version.
* Run Revo ( ! Adobe Reader 9 had 664 registry keys with 902 values...)
* Needed a reboot to remove last files from the Adobe reader 9.
* Roughly checked if other Adobe products still run...
* Downloaded and installed Adobe Reader X ( ? X ? It is version 10.0.1 after updating)
* Did an update of Reader X
* Needed reboot after update.
Ankit_Jain, the link you gave for the Reader 9 download is an US version, but I needed a Dutch (NL) version. That's why I searched for the Reader on the Adobe site, but came on the Reader X page. I thought the X stands for 'the latest version'. But it is not.
So I have a functioning reader back, with one difference: it is not Reader 9, but Reader X . I really don't know what the difference is, but what I do know is that the install takes quite a long time, and, if you don't uncheck the box on the site for the (free) McAfee scanner, it will also install that.
I will try what I have for now, and if I may find other problems around it I will surely report back.
Thanks all for your reactions
