Missing Adobe file

Hi guys,
I kinda have a problem. I used to have Photoshop CS 2 installed on my Pb and for some dumb reason I threw it all in the bin. And the next thing I did was typing "adobe" in finder and throwing all of them in the bin as well. (Not fully aware what the heck I was doing.....just thought that I had to fully erase all the traces).
No I have a document I want to open and it's a PDF. I downloaded Adobe Reader (freeware) and after installation it said that it could not open the program due to a missing adobe file. I had to reinstall it but the same thing happens again.
How do I fix this?

Hi Allan,
that's exactly what I did. I downloaded Adobe Reader from Adobe.com.....and some other places too....like versiontracker.....and they all ended up saying that some files were missing......what is wrong?
Yeah I didn't know about preview.........but still.......I would rather have the problem with the missing files fixed.
Thanks for the replies guys

How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

Installed Adobe Pro X now unable to convert PDF - Missing PDFMaker Files

Hello,
I installed the trial version of Adobe Pro X and now I am unable to convert a Microsoft Word.doc file to .pdf. The error message is 'Missing PDFMaker Files. Do you want to run the installer to repair mode?' I ran the installer, twice, with the same resulting error message. (Am currently using Windows XP Pro along with Microsoft 2003 - and will upgrade in the new year.) I searched this issue, and found the following:
To manage your Disabled Items list in a Microsoft Office application:
Open the Microsoft Office application (Word, Excel, Publisher).
Choose Help > About [the application name].
Click Disabled Items.
Select Adobe PDF from the list, and then click Enable.
Quit the Microsoft Office application, and then restart it.
However, there are no applications in the list, including Adobe.
I also tried this:
If the error message continues to appear after you enable Adobe PDF, check the security level for macros in Microsoft Word:
Choose Tools > Macro > Security.
In the Security dialog, click the Security tab.
Choose Medium or High.
Do one of the following:
If you chose Medium, then click OK.
If you chose High, then continue with steps 5 through 7.
Click the Trusted Publishers tab.
Check Trust all installed add-ins and templates.
Click OK.
And Adobe is already there, so no change here.
I have uninstalled the trial version, deleted what visible remnants I could find, restarted the computer, installed the trial version again and am getting the same error message.
Is there a solution to this problem? Or, should I just return to my Adobe Pro 7?
Thank you in advance!

I recently bought and installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro thinking that X Pro was compatable with Windows XP. I am unable to convert any Microsoft Office 2003 file into a PDF. I receive the same error message as above ( "Missing PDFMaker Files") and tried running it in repair mode as suggested. No change.

"Adobe InDesign is missing required files. Please reinstall."

Hi EveryOne !
"Adobe InDesign is missing required files. Please reinstall. Missing files: \Program Files\Common FIles\Adobe\TypeSupport\...\CP1252.TXT" This is the message I keep receiving on CS5.5 of InDesign.
I am running InDesign CS5.5 North American, English, with updates on my WinXP SP3 machine. Local copy, no network server. Yes, I might possibly need a newer machine, or a newer desk, or to reinstall WinXP to fix this one problem, but everything other than InDesign CS5.5 still runs great and I feel no compelling reason to make system-wide changes or upgrade until Win8 has been thoroughly tested and new hardware is released and tried and true for that OS.
So, last year, I received the same message and reinstalling didn't work either. So, I pried everything Adobe off of my computer and reinstalled Adobe PageMaker 7.x. But now I am compelled by my co-workers to use ID, which I have grown to love. I have no desire or $ to upgrade to ID6 but must make use of the ID 5.5. I don't want to uninstall PageMaker as we still use it for legacy projects and it has been a faithful companion to me since it was called Aldus Pagemaker.
My question: what is causing these messages and why does re-installation not help ? If there is a system problem, why is only CS5.5 affected and not my PageMaker and Quark ? I have searched the web and found only related posts (with no responses relevant to me) for users of Apple products.
Thank you in advance for any information that you may be able to provide.

DW CS5 Missing Related Files Problem

Hello
Hoping somebody may be able to help me with a missing related files problem in CS5. I've tried Adobe phone support but they couldn't solve the problem.
*Some* of my sites (but not all) are not showing all the files related to that page. My pages are typically in .asp vb server model and contain .asp virtual includes (header, nav etc) plus .js and .css linked files
However DW is only showing the .asp includes as related files and not css or js ones. In design view the CSS is displaying correctly, and all styles appear in the CSS inspector but not showing as a related file in the bar. In CS4 it works fine.
I've tried deleting the site and recreating it, copying the files to a new folder and setting up a fresh site, creating a new folder and downloading all files from the remote server but no joy. I've also tried refreshing related files. if I click on the filter in the bar it only shows the asp includes and nothing else.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated, this is a great feature when it works
Cheers
MB

UPDATE:
Managed to solve this problem, this is a new issue to DW CS5, previous versions do not seem to exhibit this problem
It occurs when you use site root rather than document relative paths for js/css etc files AND don't have the remote site url (web url) specified in the site setup | local info dialog, or do not have it fully qualified with http://
ie. ../js/file.js works fine without a remote web url but /js/file.js does not show the related file in the bar unless a remote url is defined.
Hope that helps anyone else that encounters the same issue!

Adobe files not printing text to HP Laserjet Pro CP1525nw via HP ePrint

Hi
I have two HP Laserjet Pro CP1525nw printers setup with HP ePrint. When this was first installed it worked. I can send attachments to both printers successfully. My issue is when I send a pdf with both text and images included the images print but the text does not. Some of the original text is underlined, the lines show up but the text that is underlined does not. I end up with a printed version with images in the correct locations and black lines running horizontally accross the page which is the underlining for the missing text. Can anyone assist with this.
I have tested this from multiple email addresses and recieve the same error. The adobe file prints fine to another printer.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Are the PDF attachments being sent also crated with Adobe? IF the PDF attachments were not created through that program the ability for them to print cannot be guaranteed. What is the main email client that you are sending the attachment from?

Missing Adobe PDF as an option to print to.

Missing Adobe PDF as an option to print to.
I remember allowing my system do an Adobe update a couple of days ago. Don't ask me today what it updated because I don't remember.
My problem now is that I can no longer choose print to pdf. When choosing print -> pdf I encountered an error that stated that I still had three items in the queue that needed to be printed/deleted. Thinking this odd I opened up the control panel and noticed that I had two Adobe printers listed. First I opened Adobe and canceled the items in the queue. After canceling out the queue my Adobe printer closed and disappeared. I tried printing again with Adobe (Copy 1) but kept on getting an error. Thinking that I probably needed a new driver I deleted Adobe (Copy 1). Now I can't find the driver I need. If I need a driver at all. I do not have any problems printing a pdf file to the printer. How do I reinstall Adobe as a printer option?

Missing PDFMaker Files in Acrobat 9

Hi everyone,
I am helping someone with a problem who has received this message while he tries to create a PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9.
He clicks on create pdf from file, selects the file, and then it begins to create. But it then gives the error message "Missing PDFMaker files" and asks to run a repair.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I have even logged in under my own profile and can make the PDFs with no issue, the error does not come up for me. I have also tried to run the repair it asks.
Aside from re-creating his profile (last resort), what can I do to correct this?
Thanks for your help!

Dear Sabian:
Answering both your emails. I have no problems making PDFs. Acrobat is fully operating. It is a problem that occurs only in some of the longer documents when the pages do not break the same as in the original WORD. Pages in the WORD document consistently end at 48 pi.
I am using Acrobat Pro 9. I am using WORD in Office 10. I created the PDF by selecting it when right clicking on the document icon. Previously I successfully changed the page trim size (originally it created the PDF in letter size – but I am using a custom 6 x 9 inch page.)
Thanks for your help.

Acrobat X bug - stuck in cycle - "missing pdfmaker files" "do you want to run the installer"

Hello,
I just installed Acrobat X on a Windows 7 X 64 with office 2010 x 64 install. I can print from within office to PDF, however if I right click on a document in explorer and attempt to convert to PDF without opening office, I get "missing pdfmaker files" "do you want to run the installer in repair mode" right after I give it a file name. If ignore, it won't print. If I try to fix by running the installer in repair mode, it does some install process but it still gives me the same error. Nothing shows up in the event viewer. I tried to run an acrobat update but is says no updates are available. I have tried uninstalling and downloading the trial version - it has the same issue

Acrobat X PDFMaker supports 32-bit Office 2010.
With 64-bit Office 2010 you should be able to use the Adobe Printer; but, for PDFMaker functionality you'll need Office 2010 32-bit.

Error report form iTunes Store: Missing Nib File

After having uploaded the .zip-file to the iTunes Store (update of an existing app), I got the following error-report from the iTunes store: Missing Nib File - The referenced nib file "MainWindow.nib" was not found in the application bundle. Is it possible that this error occurred while creating the app in the Adobe app builder or where do I have to look for this error? The first uploading of the original app worked without an error. What do you recommend me?
Thank you very much for an answer.

Missing PDMaker Files

Hi,
I am having a problem creating a PDF from multiple files.
Online resources were confusing to say the least .... I recently
upgraded to Office 2007 but saved files as older versions as Adobe
required it. However, when I try and create a PDF from multiple
word files it says;
"Missing PDFMaker Files"
Run in Repair Mode
I run in repair mode, the system then re-boots but I STILL
have the same problem. I have tried it twice now .... doesn't seem
to be doing anything ...
Can anyone help ?
Thanks so much
(Oh I have Adobe Professional).

I have the same problem and I'm really not happy that I cannot use my Microsoft office 2010 anymore with acrobat professional 8.1.4, here is the story... Saturday, August 7, 2010 11:51:46 AM PDT I've used Acrobat Professional 8.1.4 for over 2 years and it worked fine but since I installed Microsoft office 2010 on my new Windo ws 7 system it gives me an error message:"Missing PDFMaker files" every time I try to create "PDF from a file" using Acrobat. I have been running "installer in repair mode" many times and it did not fix the problem. Then I uninstalled Acrobat several times a nd re-installed it and updated the files every time BUT it still won't work...the error message always comes up. Can you please help ? Answer from Adobe: I would like to inform you that your product Acrobat 8.0 is not compatible with Windows 7 and so it does not gets install properly in case if it gets install then few or many functionality may go missing. Adobe does not recommends to install Acrobat 8.0 on Windows 7 Also I would like to inform you that Acrobat 8.0 or Acrobat 9.0 niether of them are compatible with Office 2010. Hence, Adobe does not recommends to use Office 2010 with any version of Acrobat. I would suggest you to upgrade to the latest version of Acrobat, which is 9.0 which is compatible with Windows 7 and to not use Office 2010 with Acrobat.

Carey,
I have tried london1a1's workaround, and it has not made any difference.
It seems that london1a1 suggests changing the Camera.h file in this location:
          Users/london1a1/Documents/DW_NAF/PhoneGapLib/PhoneGapLib/Classes/Camera.h
Whereas you're saying to change the Camera.h file in this location:
          /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5/Configuration/NativeAppFramework/DWPhoneGap/iphone/PhoneGapLib/Classes/Camera.h
I've tried changing the Camera.h file in both locations. Neither has made a difference.

Missing PDFMaker Files

I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional installed and Microsoft Office 2007. When I right-click on a Word document and click "Convert to PDF" it gives me an error that I am missing PDFMaker files and will not convert the file. I have ran a repair of Adobe and also have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe, which neither worked. I have also checked the MS Word Add-Ins and PDFMaker is enabled. Any suggestions?

I was having the same problem. The only workaround I could figure out was to print to adobe pdf for each word 2007 file individually (I know, time consuming) and then you can combine the documents in a single pdf using create pdf from multiple files.
Kind of a pain, but it's working for me (and cheaper than upgrading!)

Missing PDFMaker-files - Acrobat 7.0 / Office 2010

Hi,
I have a problem to create PDF files from Office documents.
Acrobat Professional 7.1.0
Microsoft Office Professional 2010
I get the error message "missing PDFMaker files".
Office 2010 is a new installation. With my old Office 2003 I had no problems.
I tried to activate/deactivate the Office Add-ins and change the security options.
I tried to register the PDFMOfficeAddin.dll in my system32 folder (I can't register the other DLLs).
I tried to contact the telephone support, but my version is too old.
Does anyone know what I can do? Or do I need an update?
Thanks!

I had this problem on a Vista PC.
I only required Excel to work. but im sure its a similar process for Word etc.
I was still able to make PDF's with the 'Adobe PDF' printer function.
Click File
Click Options
Click Add-Ins
Select 'Acrobat PDF Maker Office .COM Addin'
From the Dropbox at the bottom select "Excel Addins"
- Click Go
- UN-SELECT Any Acrobat or PDFMaker listing
From the Dropbox at the bottom select "COM Addins"
- Click Go
- Check the box "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin" IS selected
- If NOT.. Click Add and browse to
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll"
- If your version is NOT 10.0 it will be a different folder ie 7.0 8.0 etc
From the Dropbox at the bottom select "Disabled Items"
- Click Go
- Make sure PDFMaker is NOT disabled
This fix may seem trivial however i spent a long time working on this problem.
I tried different versions
I manually removed Acrobat http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400658.html
I updated Office
I played with Macro security settings in Office
I tried different PDF settings in Distiller
All of this did nothing.
Remove it from the Excel Add-in
Leave it in the COM Add-in
I had no problems with Windows 7. Just Vista
I hope this works for someone else too.
