Help: having trouble creating a PDF

When I print a word document to a PDF, it doesn't open in acrobat, even though the little distiller icon appears in the lower-right corner of the screen. Also, when viewing the file in a folder, a microsoft word icon appears next to it. I've called the Adobe people and have registered my Creative Suite a couple times, trying to rectify the issue.
I'm also able to open the document in acrobat, but I have to right-click the file and choose open with "Adobe Acrobat."
Operating system: Windows
Computer: Toshiba P855

I'm sorry. I meant to put Windows 7. It's a .pdf file.
Update: I fixed it.

Having trouble creating a PDF (Mac User)

In Acrobat, I get an error message when I try to create a PDF and select a Word file. The error message tells me that my file is corrupted (not the case) or incompatible with Adobe (not sure why that would be).
The only way I can do it is to open Word and then print or save to PDF. But I want to successfully create a PDF from within Acrobat.

Once you have the WORD file in a PDF as you have done, try the Forms>Start Form Wizard (assuming you have this on the MAC). As I understand it, you can not create a PDF from DOC within Acrobat on the MAC since it requires PDF Maker that is not part of the MAC Acrobat system. Some MAC users should be by eventually to clarify or correct my comments.

Having trouble creating a PDF to import into Acrobat from Livecycle.

My Livecycle document saved as a pdf can't be read by Acrobat. I need to add text to a pdf that can't be read by Acrobat, but can be read by Livecycle. I would like to import to Livecycle and save as a pdf that can be read and modified by Acrobat. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

You MUST have a line break after the Main-Class part of your manifest.

Hello. May I ask: I am using Acrobat 6.0.2, and having trouble formatting a PDF created from multiple (jpeg) files. Each page is formatted to A4 size, portrait. But when I create the PDF, each sheet appears as tiny, in the middle of a huge white page.

Hello. May I ask: I am using Acrobat 6.0.2, and having trouble formatting a PDF created from multiple (jpeg) files. Each page is formatted to A4 size, portrait. But when I create the PDF, each sheet appears as tiny, in the middle of a huge white page. I cannot seem to find any controls to adjust this. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks CtDave, for the further info. Unfortunately, those suggestions are not working, which is strange.
....Until last week, I used to make multi-page PDFs straight from Photoshop: File > Automate > Make PDF. One simply choses the files, orders them, and creates a PDF. (Resolution doesn't matter; 300 DPI is no problem.) However, my new Photoshop CS5 does not have the option in Automate.
What I've done, seeing as Acrobat is letting me down, is use Bridge (new to me) to create the PDF. It worked without a problem, but seems like more work than the old PS method. I will download a newer version of Acrobat to see if that makes any difference.
.....Also, thanks Test Screen Name: I agree with you that jpeg is irrelevant, and that one can make a PDF from Photoshop (Print > Save As - pdf). But that only works for SINGLE PAGE pdf, not multiple pages as far as I can tell.
Kind regards,
Prince Nuada

I am having trouble creating a timeline in a trial version of Premiere Pro. Can anyone help?

I am having trouble creating a timeline in a trial verson of Premiere Pro. Can anyone help?

Quickest way is to drag a clip into the New Item icon (left bottom corner Project window)
You can also right click on the clip in the Project window and create sequence from clip (or something in that order, not at my editing machine right now).

Having trouble opening a pdf with Adobe...keep seeing an error sign "acroExch" does anyone have a way to fix this?

Hmm, "Use Adobe Reader" should launch the PDF outside of Firefox in the stand-alone Adobe Reader application, so seeing it in a tab is something of a puzzle.
Could you check your version of Adobe Reader? For Windows 7, you normally would have the Reader XI series (Reader 11), which has had several updates. From inside Adobe Reader, you can use Help > Check for Updates to make sure it's current.
In Firefox, could you check your Adobe Acrobat plugin version or possibly versions? You can view that on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. If you find multiple versions, this can cause problems and may need to be cleaned up manually (post back on that for suggestions).
Sometimes, the settings file which stores those download handler preferences becomes corrupted and there's not much else to do than to rename or remove that file and let Firefox rebuild it.
To do that, open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a new window (Windows Explorer window) listing various settings files.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Start Firefox back up again and "PDF Files" should be back to their default setting of "Preview in Firefox". Try changing that to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" and test to see whether there's any improvement.

I am having trouble printing a PDF document. Whenever I click print nothing happens but when I am printing documents from Word, Excel etc they print without a problem. I've tried printing as image but that did not work. I uninstalled Adobe Reader XI and downloaded Adobe Reader X instead and that still doesn't work. I have Windows 7.

Hello,
Please follow the link to troubleshoot the printing issues with Adobe Reader:- Troubleshoot PDF printing | Acrobat, Reader.

Having trouble creating the windows 8 installation usb using bootcamp

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to install windows 8 on my early 2013 MacBook Pro retina. I am using Mavericks if that matters. I have got the iso file that I need but I am having troube creating the install disk/usb. Everytime I go to create it, I get an error message telling me that the drive could not be formatted properly. I have looked up possible solutions but nothing seems to work, I have unmounted the iso file, tried putting it on the Mac's HD but nothing I do works. Please help.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
After using Boot Camp, your computer will start always in Windows. To start in OS X, just hold the X key while your Mac is starting. If you want to start always in OS X, after starting in OS X, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk, and select the OS X partition.
By default, Windows can't read the filesystem that OS X uses for the partition, so that's why you can't access to the OS X partition. Also, you should have burnt the drivers onto a DVD or a USB drive.
As you have already downloaded the drivers, after starting in OS X, copy them to a USB drive or burn them into a DVD. Then, start in Windows and install them. Note that Windows 8 requires Boot Camp 5 drivers, that you can only get from Boot Camp Assistant if you are running OS X 10.8.3. If you want to be sure that you install the correct drivers, I recommend you to download again the Boot Camp 5 drivers from the Apple webpage > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638

Trouble creating a pdf converting Word doc ..."Could not find the application that created the file"

Hello,
I am working with Acrobat Pro 8 and am trying to create a pdf by converting a word doc. When I try that, I keep getting an error message, " Could not find the application that created this file...please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer." I can always convert a word into pdf first and then insert it into the pdf project that I am working on, however I have multiple files and I really would like to bypass that long step.
I found another thread in this forum which talks about a simillar issue (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/429585).I tried the solution suggested there by Bill@vt regarding the print menu. I am not really sure if t have distiller installed, so I tried opening it in acrobat, but it failed. During the process, I got the follwing message "Check the Status column for a list of files that could not be printed".I do not have any clue how to check for AcroTray running in the background.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!

If Distiller failed to open, it sounds like you need to do a repair of your Acrobat installation. Have not heard that one before!
