I can no longer pdf Word 1997-2003 documents in Acrobat X Pro... help!

This has only happened since I updated at the beginning of the week.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your reply.
All Acrobat features are OK in my version of Word 2010, I can create pdfs fine from there.
The issue comes when I try to combine old Word 1997-2003 files into a pdf. It has always worked, up until upgrading to the latest version this week!
Any ideas?

  • I can no longer open word or excel files from my email in firefox, i can in all other browsers. it started november 5, 2014

    Yesterday afternoon, out of the blue, I can no longer open word or excel documents from my gmail account in firefox browser on windows 7. I can in all other browsers. The error message is "There was a problem sending the command to the program"

    As a workaround, does it work to save the files first and then open them after saving?
    Sometimes when Firefox has problems handing off a download to another program it is caused by a corrupted settings file. That file is hard to edit, so usually we suggest renaming the file to see whether that resolves the issue. Here's how:
    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 should launch a new window listing various files and folders.
    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 test your Gmail attachments. Any improvement?
    Note: This resets some preferences to their defaults, such as which PDF viewer Firefox uses. If you need to update that again, please see this article: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].

    Hi Rachel,
    Have you tried reinstalling Microsoft Word? Have you tried reinstalling Office? Have you run any updates recently for Microsoft Office? There was one that came out this week. You may wish to ask this question over at the Microsoft Word forums, there's a good chance you'll get a better answer as well. This forum is primarily designed for the MacBook Air hardware and interoperability with OS X on a MacBook Air.

  • How can I sort the words in a document into an alphabetical list?

    Copy the words to the Mac's clipboard (Edit menu> Copy)
    Paste into TextEdit 
    Next open the Edit > Find > Find window in Text Edit.
    Highlight a space between two words and Edit menu > copy, paste into the Find field
    Next create a return in the middle of your text and copy that and paste into the Replace field
    Click Replace All.
    Now Edit > Select All and Edit > Copy
    Open a Spreadsheet program with Sort ability and paste into the second column cell from the top
    place a "a" into the top column cell, select the entire colum
    Sort desending order
    Now if you need it out of spreadsheet format, then your going to need to copy just the data cells (not the entire column to avoid problems) and Paste "Special" as unformatted text into a word processing program
    If you need to get rid of the Returns, do the opposite you did in Text Edit, replace the Returns with Spaces
    A chore, but it's rare one needs to sort words into alaphabetical order.
    FYI, I used TextEdit and the free LibreOffice (Spreadsheet and Word Processing) for the above effects.

  • I can no longer charge my iPhone5 through either of my macbook pros. I get the error message that a USB device is using too much power. Can anyone help?

    I reconnected the original powered hub that I thought probably caused the problem and this time it shut down the whole computer. When I rebooted everything now works perfectly. The system reset. I tried another powered hub and it didn't have the same effect so the old one is heading for the bin and with fingers crossed all systems are now working perfectly. Trying to reset PRAM or reset the SMC didn't work but causing the same power issue did. Thanks for your input though. It did get me to think what was the original cause.

  • Can't open pdf:s in My documents.

    I have moved My documents to a secondary hdd to save space on c:. I have Win7 pro and i have changed under my userprofile were the directory My documents is.
    The problem is that i can't open pdf-files on My documents with Adobe Reader. I only recieve a message, "There was a problem when this document was opened. Access is denied." (Translated from Swedish)
    I can open the file without any problem if i move it to c:. I don't have any problems with any other type of documents.
    Please help! I use the latest version of Adobe Reader and i have updated windows and drivers.

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for the screenshots and the information.Would it be possible for you to try the following at your end.
    1. Create another folder under C:\ with some Latin Characters such as Ö or ä (as being used in the redirected path for My Documents etc.). Now place any PDF in this folder and try and access the same. Are you able to access it this time?
    2. Redirect the My Documents folder to some other path which does not have any Latin character and see if the issue is still reproducible.

  • Can't open Pdfs in firefox, works fine in Safari. Please help?

    Can't open Pdfs in firefox, works fine in Safari. Please help?

    This resolved my problem
    I checked and my Firefox is doing (or not doing in this case)  the same thing.  There seems to be a problem with the Snow Leopard and the Adobe browser plugin.  I was able to get Firefox working again by going to Firefox > Preferences > Applications and switching all to Adobe settings to "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the plugin.  Then I went to Tools > Add-ons... > Plugins and disabled the Acrobat plugin.  Restarted Firefox and now pdf worked.

  • Wrongly transformed the sentences of left and right paragraphs into one sentence in PDF files to txt files by Acrobat 9 Pro

    I found that the when transforming PDF files into TXT files by Acrobat 9 Pro, the Acrobat will wrongly transform the sentences of the left hand side and right hand side paragraphs into one sentence, while the correct format should be the later sentence follows the former sentence in each paragraph.
    An example PDF is : http://cardiovascres.oxfordjournals.org/content/cardiovascres/45/1/200.full.pdf
    Is there any solution for this problem? Or should I use other software (or other version of Acrobat) to solve the problem? Thank you.

    PDF is not a word processor file format.
    It has no "styles", "format", "layout", "columns", "rows", "tables", etc.
    PDF writers paint the content to the canvas that is the PDF page.
    Depending on what was used and how it operates this painting can be like a paint by numbers affair.
    ISO 32000-1:2008, the ISO standard for PDF explains it all.
    So, when exporting to text from your PDF the progression is left to right, top down.
    Remember, PDF has no awareness of "columns". What we see is our construct not PDF's.
    What you and I see as two columns with a specific read order is our imposition.
    What is on the PDF page is simply a line of text characters.
    That is how it is with all versions of Acrobat. Applications can only make use of what the file format supports eh.
    What to do?
    Master content in a logical hierarchy in the authoring file.   
    Always use the build-in Headings for Headings.     
    Use the built-in "table" feature.  
    Use a PDF writer process that is compliant with the ISO standard and that supports proper output of Tagged PDF.   
    A well-formed Tagged PDF will export properly.  
    Two key design considerations for Tagged PDF are:  
    (1)  Support Accessible PDF   
    (2)  Support Export of PDF page content. 
    What constitutes a "well-formed tagged PDF?"
    This would be a PDF that is ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant.
    Be well...

  • Why is Photoshop Elements 8 not saving a psd file as a pdf now that I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    Why is Adobe Elements 8 not saving a psd file as a pdf after I started using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro instead of my CS3 Pro? Both Adobe software is up to date and before I switched to Acrobat XI Pro, it worked fine. Help please...

    You aren't talking to Adobe here. But still...Is it by any chance asking for a QUALIFYING product? If so, you purchased an UPGRADE and now need to give the serial number of the OLDER product (Acrobat 9 or X) which you must own to be able to use the upgrade. Simples.

    Hi higi97,
    How are you connected to the internet? Are you behind a particularly secure corporate firewall? Are you on Mac or Windows? Do you have any anti-malware software running on your machine that may be preventing applications other than your browser from connecting to the internet?
    You may try to follow the steps below:
    1.Close the Creative Cloud application.
    2.Navigate to the OOBE folder.
    Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
    3.Delete the opm.db file.
    4.Launch Creative Cloud.
    Let us know if that helps,
    Regards,

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 can't make pdf files in 2003 Word

    Hello, Can you help me?
    I purchased Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro four years ago when I went onto Windows 7 as I needed the 64 bit version. Prior to this I had Adobe Acrobat 7.
    Recently I have been unable to make PDF files in Word although it is working in all the other Word applications and through the HP scanner.
    It also won’t make PDF files through the Adobe programme and comes up with the message “Missing PDF files”and the repair command fails to save the problem.
    I am using Word 2003 but prior to now the programme has worked without a problem.
    Can you tell me how to solve the problem as I need the facility as I manage numerous websites for different charities.
    My serial number is 1118-1780-5717-0649-5947-1289 and I am reluctant to unload the programme incase I can’t reload it.
    I have tried to load Acrobat 7 onto my laptop which still has Windows Vista on it.  The serial number for this is 1016-1284-2194-6099-0208-1387 but it refuses to activate this.  Can you advise me on this ?
    I am desperate..
    Many thanks, Sheila
