All Software and system up to date.

Open a word file, Print -> PDF -> Save as Adobe PDF -> option : "High Quality Print" and "Adobe Acrobat Pro" -> Continue -> change Name and location -> Save. Then the "Save as Adobe PDF" Automator pop up on Dock, a "Save as Adobe PDF" window will show "Finalizing PDF file..." and not reponding......... have to Force Quit.
But, if I use "Save as PDF" on Print, it works but will creat a very large PDF file. For example, my DOCX file is only 270KB, the PDF will be 23MB.
Open the PDF with Acrobat Pro 10.1.8, Save as "Reduced Size PDF..." -> make compatible with "Retain Existing" (tried all in the list) -> change Name; -> Save. Then, Acrobat will be nor responding on "Analyzing document....".

Your comment all software is up to date is wrong.
Unless You using a PowerPC Machine OSX up to 9.1
Acrobat X may be at 10.1.8 but the newest available is Acrobat 11.0.4
And what seriously out of date and may be causing your issues is That Office2011 is up 14.3.9 By using out of date application may cause part of your issues. Note it does take a Long time to process a Large document
If you can get the PDF to open
Look for and Choose Optimized PDF or PDF Optimzer
click fonts if you see any duplicate Fonts
example two or three copies or more of say Helvetica Bold Italic
click on all but one of them and move to unembed
Repeat with all Fonts that have duplicates.
Then click okay when done.
This issue can be caused by older versions of software.
But if downloaded from a PC the number one reason is that unlike Mac in which your old allowed one copy of a Font/Font Family. PC doesn't care how many copies fonts there are on the computer. Whatever app just choose one to use at that moment. So you could have 20 versions of Helvetica bold Italic and the syetem doesn't care.
I've received PDF from PDF's from PC's and there have been as many as 10 copies of one font. Once optimized the files size went down.

Problem with "Save as Adobe PDF format" in Excel and Word

Hi
When I use printing zone in Excel and make a «Save as Adobe PDF format» (menu File / Save as Adobe PDF), the first save is well done. But when I make it a second time, what's not in the printing zone is printing in the document.
I have also problem with the «Save as Adobe PDF format» in Word. The images superposition are not well print.
I'm using Windows 7 in french, Office 2010 french and Adobe Acrobat XI standard. All is in the latest version.
Thanks

The Save As PDF feature in Office2008 Call up a PDF Creator similar to the AdobePDF Print Driver. whch OX.6 can't use.
To create Pdf you have to use method used:
http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-leopard.php
Not before you attempt to use this method if Rossetta is not installed. pop in your Systems DVD and install Rosetta. Then follow directions to install the Adobe Quality PDF Automator Script which will show up in the Print Menu. Click on Print > then click PDF. Then Click on Adobe quality PDF. AS for setting up Job options and other details Supposedly your suppose to have access. But I have no idea.
First thing Rosetta should be installed out of the box. and Second Adobe should install this Script from their installer. So their should be no intervention from the user. it should just work. Early report when OSX.6 first came out almost no one was able to get this to work. and I see periodic reports that people still can't get it tork and they have to to resort to saving as .ps files then droping on distiller.
Good luck.

Error with "Save as Adobe PDF" in Word 2008

I have Word 2008 12.2.5 on Snow Leopard 10.6.4. I just upgraded all in one go from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to 9.3.3. I went to try out the "Save as Adobe PDF" function, and every time I get an error popup that says "An error occurred while saving the PDF file". The popup includes the OS X "Automator" icon of a robot holding a pipe(?).
First there is a dialog box where I set Adobe PDF Settings: Standard and After PDF Creation: Nothing. I click Continue and a file dialog is next where I choose the output filename, where I click Save, then the error box appears.
Help?
Thanks.

"Save to Adobe PDF" app

Just upgraded my iMac at work to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.... finally!!!!
But still running CS4 with Acrobat 9 (v9.5.2)
I edit master files using MS Word that are saved on my local server.
I distribute those files as PDFs saved to another server.
When updating files under Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, printing with the PDF printer driver, I had a very fast simple work flow:
   Cick Print (Adobe PDF Printer was the default),
   navigate to the desired folder,
   click on the file to replace and then
   click Replace.
But under Snow Leopard, this workflow is now messed up:
   Click Print
   Click Continue in Save to Adobe PDF popup menu
   navigate to the desired folder
This is where the mess really starts.
If the file is new, not an update, and I just want to save it, "Microsoft Word - " is always prepended to the file name, and there is always a dual extension: ".docx.pdf" So I **always** have to edit it.
If the file is being saved as an update, when I click on the file to update, the file name no longer has an extension, not even a hidden one, just nothing at all. This is OK as far as Macs are concerned, the file still shows as a PDF file in Get Info. But Windows PCs (where these files will be used) no longer have a clue as to file type. So I **always** have to type ".pdf" after the file name.
   Finally I can click Save or Replace
And, if for any reason, I click "Cancel", Save to Adobe PDF **always** says "an error occurred while saving the PDF".
So... in this day and age, why isn't this any smarter???? Why is this app making me work more????
1) Is there any way to bypass the annoying unwanted PDF Settings/PDF Creation popup menu so I don't **always** have to click Continue??? Why isn't there a Preferences / Options menu item for this so I can pull it up only when needed???? Why always interrupt my workflow????
2) Is the default file name with "Microsoft Word - " prepended to it an Adobe action or an MS Word action???? Who do I complain to about this??? Its possible that this is an MS Word abberation, as test prints in MS Excel and Mozilla Firefox don't show this problem.
3) Why do I have to keep screwing around with extensions???? Can't someone do some intelligent programming to make this simple and automatic for the user??????????????
4) in the normal course of pressing offered buttons such as Cancel, I should never see an error pop up.
Now, when I get home today, where I'm running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion with CS5, I'll have to see if this is any smarter.

Hi,
Are you still experiencing this issue. Let me know what is the version of Adobe application installed on your machine.

Save as Adobe PDF opens the wrong installation of AA

Hi all,
I bought an Adobe CC membership and after a month I found out that my apps were expiring. I accidentally set CC on Dutch (native language) but I ordered the English version. No problem, deinstalled all the apps and reinstalled them in the English version. Everything seems to work, almost.
When I'm using MS word 2010 and I want to save my document as a PDF file (Save as Adobe PDF), it opens the dialog that I have zero days left and have to fill in my serial number, in Dutch!
I can only cancel this screen, since I don't have the Dutch version of CC. If I try again I get the following error in Word.
I deinstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI now about 5 times, but it is still not working. How can I point PDFmaker to the right Acrobat?

Hi Rave,
Thanks for the link. I tried them out but still no luck. When I press Save to PDF it opens the English version of Acrobat and this Dutch activation screen, after that I only get the alert and the activation screen. So I can save one pdf document and then I've to reinstall Acrobat. It's activated, but only the English version, somewhere on my pc there is still some leftover from the Dutch version.

Photoshop CS5 - Save as Adobe pdf doesn't appear

HI, I AM TRYING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WHOLE DAY. I HAVE MAC OSX 10.6.5 UPDATED, ACROBAT PRO 9.4.1 UPDATED, PHOTOSHOP CS 5 12.0.1 UPDATEM. BUT WHEN I WAS GO TO PRINT-PRINT SETTINGS-PDF THERE WHOLE UNDERLINE PRESETS DO NOTHING. /MEANS MAIL PDF, SAVE AS ADOBE PDF, SAVE AS PDFX, SAVE PDF TO IPHOTO/. NONE DIALOG FROM MENTIONED UNDERLINE ITEMS DOESN'T APPEAR IN PHOTOSHOP. NO ERROR, NOTHING. WHEN I TRY TO USE PDF-SAVE AS ADOBE PDF FROM IPHOTO DIALOG BOX APPEARS. I TRY ALSO OPEN IN ROSETTE ETC. ITS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO CREATE ADOBE PDF, NOT PHOTOSHOP PDF. BECAUSE PS PDF IS HUGE AND CAUSE FAILS ON SOLID SHAPES. THANKS FOR ADVICE. PS: SORRY FOR CAPS, WRITTING FROM HANDY

Hi, thanks. I now that this would be alternative, but photoshop PDF causes white places on the fonts and object where must be color or style layer. And as I wrote file is huge and not possible to print from it via offset printer. Downsampling cause bad quality. The problem is not to find alternative way.
Problem is why these function do not work. Its basic function of acrobat pro and I want to use it. Distiller creates high quality PDF with no errors nad small size. "Save as adobe PDF" works everywhere like iPhoto etc ect. and in Photoshop dialog box does not appear. It would be great if someone with PS CS5 and acrobat pro 9.4 can test it also, if it is not a bug.
Now I must only generates distiller PDF via windows because mac osx 10.6.5 do not support old version Adobe PDF printer and alternative Save as adobe PDF does not work for me.
From the time I bought mac I am very disappointed of it, many many problems that I do not know on windows platform. Bugs from adobe-repair update, mac os update-another bugs, adobe update, mac os update-another bugs....magic circle.
Thanks.

Word 2007 "Save as Adobe PDF" - Pictures not showing up in PDF

Good Afternoon,
I have run into this error recently when using the "Save as Adobe PDF" to publish Word 2007 report.
Each report has an table - pasted from Excel 2007 "as a picture - when printed". The reports have a ton of other jpg pictures.
After creation, when I open the PDF, some of the tables appear to have become transparent. Where the picture used to be is a selection box, as if there were a picture there, but it's merely blank. All of the photos, frames, and Word-based tables show up. Some of the pasted-from-Excel tables also show up, not these ones.
Is there a reason for this discrepency? Is there a way to resolve the issue? I used the search bar and found nothing that matched my issue. All of my software is up to date.
Thank you for whatever help you can provide.
J

did you ever solve this issue? I have the same problem and "view large images" is the only answer I can find and it DOES NOT WORK.
I posted the question elsewhere, but nobody has replied. here's my situation:
When creating PDF documents from any software (Illustrator, Corel, InDesign, etc), color objects over 50% of the page size have white fill. If object has an outline, the outline will appear normally, but the fill will be white. I've searched forums everywhere and have found no answer. Most forum topics on this are issue focus on settings in the program that exported the PDF. I am 100% sure this is not an export problem, but is something in Acrobat itself (a missed setting? Corrupt program file?)
To provide the best information, I've done a little scientific research. Here is what I know:
Currently running Acrobat Pro 9.5.5
This is only happening on ONE install of Acrobat 9. Documents display correctly in Reader X and in Acrobat 9 on other machines.
Started happening a few weeks ago, I have no idea what changed.
"Show Large Images" in preferences dialog is checked. Unchecking it and rechecking it does nothing.
Have installed all available updates to the software
I experimented with different object sizes. At 50% of page size, objects appeared normal, at 51% filled object disappears.
Does not affect photos, only affects vector objects.
running this on Windows Vista 64 Bit

Why does error message occur when "Save as Adobe PDF" is used?

"Save as an Adobe PDF" does not work; it only generates "Error An error occurred while saving the PDF file."
I can create a PDF two ways: (1) distilling a Postscript file and using Acrobat Distiller, and (2) using the MacOS PDF generator (MacOS X 10.10.2 Quartz PDF Context).
Is there a reason "Save as an Adobe PDF" does not work? Is this an issue related to Yosemite or Adobe Acrobat? I am curious to know if other Yosemite and Acrobat XI users have this issue?
Kind regards, –John
Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.10 on MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR3)

Thank you for replying. I appreciate your feedback, Mr. Lloyd. "Save as PDF" does generate a PDF using MacOS X 10.10.2 Quartz PDF Context. However, I am trying to solve an issue with PDF generating with Adobe Distiller since upgrading to Yosemite.
I am curious to know if anyone in the Apple community can verify if "Save as Adobe PDF" works for him or her. If this script specific to Acrobat Distiller XI version 11.0.10 does not function with Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, I can disregard this functionality. However, if the functionality does work for others, I shall work to find a solution.
My question was asked in part to help me gain understanding of changes in PDF production that have occurred since I upgraded to Yosemite. The following description is the root of my query which I posted on Acrobat Discussion groups:
Using Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.10 on MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR3), I have been creating PDF files of music charts optimized for viewing on iPad using Acrobat Distiller XI version 11.0.10. I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.2). Music charts are designed using Pages 5.5.2 using Page Setup for HP LaserJet 1012 and a custom page size (7.75 in. x 10.25) with four 0.06 inch margins. This allows me to replicate exact content of a PDF file optimized for printing [Page Setup for HP LaserJet 1012 with US Letter page size (8.5 in. x 11) having four 0.5 inch margins] on a PDF file optimized for viewing on an iPad. The iPad PDF has reduced white space in margins allowing the music chart to have the largest print viewable when looking at an iPad while performing.
I am creating a PDF by distilling a Postscript file and using Acrobat Distiller [PDF/A-1b:2005 (RGB)]. "Save as an Adobe PDF" does not work; it only generates "Error An error occurred while saving the PDF file." Moreover, "Save as an Adobe PDF" never works for any circumstance.
The issue is iPad PDFs no longer have 0.06 inch margins. A PDF file is created, but there is more white space in margins. I have determined the PDF production is being affected by the HP LaserJet 1012 0.167 inch minimal margins. The outcome does not change if I select Any Printer from Page Setup. However, a PDF with 0.06 inch margins is created if I use the MacOS PDF generator (MacOS X 10.10.2 Quartz PDF Context).
Is there any thing I can do to use Adobe Acrobat XI to make charts optimized iPad like I could before I upgraded to Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)? Just curious…

"Save to Adobe PDF" missing in Mac print dialog

I've just upgraded to a new machine, and the "Save to Adobe PDF" option is missing from the PDF drop-down menu in the print dialogue. I'm running Mac OS 10.8.3 and CS 6. I believe that Acrobat X is supposed to automatically install this option into the main print dialog; what can I do to get it installed if it got left out of the initial CS6 installaion?

OK thank you. I feel like I'm still not quite getting my question across. I don't think that PDF Maker is what I was using last week before I got a new machine; wasn't that the thing that showed up in the upper portion of the Print dialog, in amongst your physical printers? That is not what I was using. I was using the Save to Adobe PDF.app (an Automator app) that stays in the PDF Services folder in the Library. You access it via the PDF button in the bottom left of the Print dialog. This was using Acrobat 9 and OS 10.6.
Your description above makes it sound like when I go to that button I would get a contextual menu that lets me choose the quality of the PDF. I don't have that choice. This is the contextual menu I get under PDF in the Print dialog:
I used to have an additional entry there in the middle section called Save to Adobe PDF. That brought up a dialog with a drop down menu that showed all of the preset settings I have made for PDF creation, and I could choose my quality there, choose a location, and save. I had full control over all the settings. I just need a choice that brings up that dialog, and Save as PDF doesn't do it (it just uses the native OS PDF generator).
The second method does not work on my machine either. If I try to drag a Word doc into Acrobat it tells me it is not a supported file type, and says "To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF." this indicates to me that somewhere I should still have the ability to choose Adobe PDF rather than Mac OS PDF.
I can save to PostScript and drop the file onto Distiller -- as long as the Distiller settings are set correctly already, because it starts creating the PDF immediately with no dialog in between to make choices. I can live with that, but I would rather have my Automator workflow back to do it in one step. (sadly I don't know enough about Automator right now to easily do this myself, but maybe this is a good chance to learn.)
I know that I have seen this workflow mentioned as something that is installed along with Acrobat X but maybe people are mistaken about that and it was just left over from a previous install. I know for sure that the workflow that was working on the old machines was outdated; it was 32-bit and can't even be opened in the current version of Automator. So the old one clearly won't work any more. For now I'm going to set up a Distill folder on my desktop with the settings I use most often, and direct my PS files there.
Thanks for the detailed reply even though I can't quite make it all work!

Where is "save as Adobe pdf "in backstage for word 2013

Hi,
I saw "save as adobe pdf" in the file tab in office 2013 for some users but I dont know how can I aktive it for my pc?

Hi,
Do you want this?
If yes, we need to install the third-party add-in, such as Adobe Acrobat for PDF. We can go to Adobe official website to download it.

CS4 "Save as Adobe PDF" not working in Mountain Lion

CS4 Save as Adobe PDF not working in Mountain Lion
Just bought a new Mac with mountain lion, installed CS4 design premium twice trying to fix this. When you go to "print" then "Save as Adobe PDF" the process fails with a pop-up saying "An error occurred while saving the PDF file". I can still do the standard "Save as PDF" - but that usually results in a file size 10x larger than Save as Adobe PDF so it won't work for me; I need the small file sizes of Save as Adobe PDF.
When I go to Help > Repair Acrobat Installation it seems to be recognizing a repair needed with Adobe PDF Printer (see screenshot below); but when I go through the repair nothing changes it still won't work.
Any help is much appreciated!

"Save As Adobe PDF" works fine in Snow Leopard.
Thanks for the link, but this is no help - I already have "Save As Adobe PDF" on the menu - the problem is when I click that it errors out...
I just think its sad that Adobe charges people $2000 and provides zero support for future updates; when I buy an iMac for half that amount of money or an iPhone I get operating system support and bug fix downloads to deal with the latest internet advances for years to come - but Adobe apparently takes your money and says sayonara! Is it really that hard to provide updates on $2000 worth of software for say 24 months??

Did you activate the Automator action which controls the "Save As Adobe PDF" function. Look around here to find some instructions on doing this. There should be a copy in HD>Library>Automator which needs to be double-clicked to install. There might be others so find and delete them.
Although I haven't changed to leopard(or the Snow variety) I've been reading up on this problem. First there has been information that for some reason the automator action for this which is supposed to be system level action; is found in more than one Libraray>Automator folder. There should only be one. Also for some strange reason the action requires that Rosetta be installed to work. You actually have to double click on the action for it to install. And finally, the patchts and upgrades From Apple of snow Leopard as of late either removes and reinstalls sometimes in the wrong place meaning you got to start all over again. there are three Automator folders, one at Main level, one at User level, and one at system level. anthing having to do with printing should be at system level, period. Be it actually printing or creating PDF's. (source cNet, ZDnet, Coumputerworld, , Mac-Fix-it.)

Save as Adobe PDF Automator action displaying dialog

Hi,
I'm trying to use the "Save as Adobe PDF" Action in Automator in a workflow.
As soon as the action is initiated it interrupts the workflow to ask for a save path.
I don't understand this. Is it possible to provide this save path beforehand?
Having it pop up a dialog in the middle of the workflow renders it useless to me,
or am I missing something?
hope anyone can help.
kind regards,
Richard

No :-) I'm just surprised that an automated workflow asks for something halfway.
It seems to defy the point of automation. I would expect to be able to pre-set something like that.

Hit "Save as Adobe pdf" and pic came out on top of text box.
