I can no longer create a PDF from Excel?

I have always been able to create a PDF straight from Office, specifically Excel. I downloaded the Adobe XI trial last week, and now I can no longer create a PDF. It says it can't file Adobe PDF Maker?

I'm having the same issue. I just downloaded new Adobe Pro XI (old version was IT dept corrupted) and got error that Adobe could not locate resource files. I could in the past open and create pdf forms from excel, but not now

With the upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9.4.6 I can no longer create a pdf from a document.

I am using Window XP, Office 2007 Professional. When the upgrade occurred, I lost the functionallity of creating a pdf from Publisher. I go through the print, select Adobe PDF and then print. Sometimes it looks like it is creating a pdf and then on results. Othertimes it just blinks and returns to Publisher. Adobe wil not let me un-install the last update. Any suggestions?

Thank you for your response. I got an error message as follows:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: MSPUB_setclippath_7 ]%%

Any ideas?

Can no longer create a PDF from a Word file!

Any idea what this is about? My PDF/Adobe Printer is also suddenly gone. I don't use it that much but now I can't use it at all! I assume this is a forum for Acrobat X. I thought I'd try reinstalling but I can't figure out how. I know that sounds stupid--and it is. But I have spent 45 minutes poking around the Adobe website trying to figure out where I can find the download--I upgraded from an earlier version online.. I have only been using X for a year or so. (This product is hard to love and not cheap either)

Thanks! Repair failed. I had to call their tech support and eventually was told to reinstall. WIth the tech the entire process took onlky about an hour and a half (yes, that long!). Since I had upgraded to Acrobat X Pro a year ago I fortunately kept a record of the saerial number for the prior version. Near the end the tech hung up on me when I complained about always having to keep records of prior versions.
I had the revolutionary--and obviously unacceptable--idea that once you buy the upgrade THAT ought to be the end of things. Why at each reinstall the darned software would search for a prior version--which wouldn't be there anyway, particularly since the older version was on my old computer which I sent to recycling last summer, is a mystery. It strikes me as a form of harassment since I didn't spring for the full price in lieu of the upgrade. User-friendly is not a term I would use to describe my years of experience with Adobe. Even the website is frustrating. In the process of this reinstall I was promised some sort of gift from Adobe for filling out some profile information. I'm not holding my breath waiting to find out what my prize will be and whetgher it was worth another few frustrating minutes! And I have not mentioned the near-inscrutability of the program itself. What, for example, is "preflight" supposed to mean when it has no connection to air travel? And "workflow?" Whazzat? Well as long as I can create PDF files, add or delete pages, add footers/headers, add some typed text and struggle with redacting that's all I have time to manage. Don't get me started. Even my screen name here--it was supposed to have been updated, too--was what I entered a few years ago in a fit of rage in trying to register for this forum (runuz: "Are you nuts?")

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8, for the simple reason it was
created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
current version for compatibility.

I can no longer directly email pdfs from mac preview

Since upgrading to Lion I can no longer open a pdf file in Mac Preview and then select "Mail Selected PDF Document." When I do so I receive an error message: The "New Email With Attachement" service could not be used.
Anyone know what the problem is?

It could be a POP account which means the first device which accesses the account gets the email unless the settings have been changed. Here are links to show what is involved. It may not mirror your circumstances though.

I can no longer create a PDF with Save As in Excel 2007

I can no longer complete a full page of my graphs with the "Save As" function in Excell 2007 and have tried various methods to correct my problem from pagination to finally completely recreating the graphs as the original file was created in Excel 2003. What happens is it cuts off the right hand margin of my pages and scews all the graphs so they do no appear as they do in the print preview of Excel. Does anyone have any solutions? Thank you.

Change the printer to the Adobe PDF printer before you start looking at the print margins and such. (I am assuming you are using the Acorbat process with Excel 2007 and not the MS plug in.) Once you have the printer selected, then look at the preview and such. Excel and WORD both reflow documents based on the printer that is attached. It may be that simple.

When I create a PDF from Excel, there are blank cells in Excel document, when they convert to PDF the blank cells have data in them?

There are cells in the excel document that have formula's in them. The formulas are pulling data from other blank cells, so that is why they are blank in the formulated cells. So in Excel, they are just a dash. When I create the PDF, the document gets opened in Acrobat and the once blank cells have data in them. Not sure why there is data in those fields on the PDF if its blank on Excel.

Not really sure that I fixed the problem, but I did find a work around and wanted to post it if someone else runs across the same issue. Apparently the document creator used lots of custom rules and shading. If I pulled up the custom rules and shading palette and just unchecked both the custom ruling and shading boxes, it allowed me to create the print file correctly--the disappearing part numbers were on the new PDF. I didn't have to update the whole book which I didn't want to do because I feared it would mess up the rules and shading. Just unchecking the box before creating the PDF solved that issue for my purposes.

Why can't I create a PDF from a Word file with your $9.99 monthly plan. I have done so before.

Firefox is a good browser, but it comes with its own PDF viewer, which may not display PDF files correctly. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136

Create one pdf from excel, word, and pdf files

I'm trying to create a single document to distribute (digitally and printable) for a meeting.
And I'm an Acrobat Pro beginner. :-(
The files to be included are in pdf, MS Word and MS Excel.
What is the best way to do this?
I don't know if I use Portfolio which I tried but then each file apparently needs to be Extracted to be viewed. Not what I want. I want series of files separated by a heading.
Maybe I need to convert all files first to pdf and then combine in one pdf file but maybe there is a simpler way.
Appreciate any tips from the experts.
Thank you.

Page size error when creating PDF from Excel 2013

Hello,
I am using Acrobat Pro XI, and am creating a PDF from Excel 2013. I have updated Acrobat to the latest version (11.0.4). I am using the Acrobat CreatePDF add-in inside Excel to convert a spreadsheet to PDF. However, when I create the PDF, the page size doubles from 8.5" x 11" to 17" x 22". I have checked the print settings inside Excel to insure that the content fits onto an 8.5" x 11" page. I also checked the Preferences->Advanced Preferences of the Create PDF add-in and confirmed that the default page size is set to 8.5" x 11". Does anyone know why it is creating the PDF with a 17" x 22" page size? Also, can the page be resized back down to 8.5" x 11" within Acrobat Pro XI?

Hello - this did not happen when I printed the file to the Adobe PDF printer. It correctly sized the sheet as 8.5" x 11". Thanks for the suggestion. Also, it will properly print out to the physical printer.
The main problem is when I am combining several PDFs into one document, I have some sheets sized at 8.5" x 11" and some at 17" x 22", so the document looks strange when viewing it online. I am still not sure why the Create PDF add-in creates a different sized PDF than the Print to PDF function.

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit in Reader or Acrobat

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit (for example, change a name from "John" to "Johnny") from either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. I have already looked at forms, but they do not keep your font colors, faces, and sizes and just make everything that is selected as a text form Black, 12pt, Times New Roman.
Can anyone here help me?

Vincent,
If you use Acrobat pro, generate your .pdf file and then save it as (french version):
... so that anyone using Acrobat Reader (or Pro, of course) can modify the .pdf file (with limitations), add comments, ...
If you want to try to "protect" your .pdf file, you can try with this (in the "Préférences" menu (french version)):

How can I create one pdf from a FrameMaker Book with mixed page sizes.

Looking for an easier way to create one pdf from a FrameMaker book that has files with different pages sizes; letter and tabloid.
So far, I have not been able to find a way to set up the Adobe PDF printer or Distiller to read the page size from the source files in the book and then create one pdf with the appropriate page sizes based on the file sizes in the FrameMaker book. I can create a pdf of the book using a multi-step process where I create a pdf for each page size and then combine them into one file. This is a lot of work.
Is there a way to set the Adobe PDF printer where it reads page size from the source files and then creates one pdf with a mixed page sizes?
Using FrameMaker 7 and 10 and Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks for any suggestions

Can No Longer Print to PDF: No File Created

Greetings, All,
(I had this problem months ago too, but it went awayApple Update?)
Recently I did something stupid on my Mac (still new to Mac from Windows) and I had to reinstall OS X (Install and Archive). After Installing OS X 10.5.3, I updated back to 10.5.6. Then I reinstalled CS4 Master Collection and installed the updates for that. This was a couple weeks ago.
I seldom need to print anything, but when I do, I print them to PDF. Now, when I do a command-P in any application (Safari, TextEdit, Mail.app, etc), nothing happens. Acrobat creates no file. I am using the Adobe PDF 9.0 driver. There is a work around: In the lower-left hand corner of the print dialog box, I can click on PDF > Save as PDF. I get prompted to name the file twice and then it does print. However, trying to research this issue, someone else mentioned the same thing and was told that's Apple's PDF printer. I want to print using Acrobat 9.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you for any help!
Keith

Wow! At least it's not just me!
I've been trying to do various tests, and now my results are a bit different:
Going off Candace's notes:
1) Doesn't work for me. This is what I used to do and want to do again: create a PDF from any application by clicking Print (eg, the Print link on web page) or pressing command-P. No file is created now.
2) I didn't even know this option existed. It worked for me, but I don't want to print my documents there. I want to be prompted for a name and folder of my choosing in the dialog box.
3) Oddly, this morning after reading Candace's response, I now only get prompted with one dialog box, not two. Again, I don't want to do this. I want it to work as before where after invoking Print I would be offered a dialog box asking me what to name the file and in which folder to create it.
Thanks, Candace! I appreciate your post!
