Missing .pdf suffix

We are experiencing Adobe files losing their .pdf suffix when being sent through e-mail. The problem seems to be connected to Exchange server, Office 2003/2007 or firewall/virus check. Anyone got a clue on how to avoid this?

Yes. It is an Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional for Windows Version 8.1.1 and I am using MS Office for windows 7. This system has been working for 2 years and suddenly I get this error message and it no longer works on Word and Excel documents.

Error message: Missing PDF maker files in Word 2007

OK, I am beyond frustrated. I have had nothing but trouble with Windows Vista and Adobe Acrobat. Please help!!!
What happens: first, the pdf addin for Word 2007 suddenly becomes disabled, for no apparent reason. Forget about trying to re-enable it through the Add-Ins menu, because Word tells me that the "connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed". This is a problem for me, because I use a special font (Vietnamese) that sometimes gets corrupted when running pdf maker. The only consistent way I have found to avoid this problem is to run the pdf maker as "Quick PDF" and as far as I can see that option is only available through the pdf addin in Word, I have never been able to find it when I open the Acrobat program and create a pdf from there.
Second problem: shortly after the pdf addin becomes disabled, my Acrobat program loses the ability to create pdfs altogether. I get the error message "Missing PDF maker files". Yes, I have tried repairing the installation and re-starting my computer per the instructions given. It doesn't fix the problem. I also tried looking in the Knowledge Database on this website, but it appears that the instructions they have to fix the problem there are for earlier versions of Word, not 2007, because my version of word does not look like the version of Word in their little videos.
This is the second time this has happened. The first time I resolved the problem by a) re-installing Acrobat, which is a pain because it involves calling Adobe and wading through their customer service to get a new installation number, and b) paying a computer repair service to dig deep into the guts of my computer and convince it to change the Office Add-ins to allow the pdf addin again. It worked for about 6 months, and now I have the same problem again. For some reason Vista is spontaneously disabling Acrobat.
I simply cannot deal with this every few months. We all know that Vista is a crappy program, but I run a business and I need a program that works with whatever crappy program Microsoft puts out. Please, can anyone give me suggestions about how to re-enable these functions when Vista disables them?
Thanks in advance!

Missing PDF Options in Acrobat Pro 8

For some reason, on some machines in the office "PDF Options" is missing when we try to print to the Adobe PDF 8.0 printer under OS X 10.4.10. Both machines are Intel-based.
Two of the machines in the office have the option, two don't.
We thought it was something specific to these machines. Then yesterday, on a brand new MacBook Pro, we reinstalled a user's license from the DVD and the same thing happened: no PDF Options. This machine had been used for two days. Microsoft Office 2004 installed, Firefox and that's it - otherwise bog standard. Never had an Adobe product on it, never had Acrobat on it. Updated to 8.1.1, no change.
We've tried completely uninstalling, trashing all the Adobe and Acrobat-related items in /Library and ~/Library, same with prefs. We've searched the entire machine for any string that includes 'adobe' or 'acrobat' and trashed them, emptied the trash, restarted, then reinstalled (re-serialising in the process). We've reset the printing system and added the printers back.
We've cleaned the cache files (using AppleJack, a great little utility), repaired permissions, reinstalled the 10.4.10 Combo Updater, DiskWarriored the machine.
We're tearing our hair out, because in our office, this option is vital to the daily work flow.
Is anyone else seeing this? Anyone got a reliable fix?

I "think" that there may be a way to correct this, but it's at your own peril if it doesn't. Then again what have you got to lose? Here is something from another public forum. It's about Acrobat 6.x and 7.x but it sounds like the same issue. If you decide to try this and it works let us know.

Re: Acrobat 7 Pro: missing PDF Options menu in all applications
Hi all,
I solved this error with Acrobat 7 by deleting the com.adobe.print.AdobePDF7 folder from the user library preferences. It may be missed by those who are deleting preferences because it is not grouped with the com.adobe.acrobat.xxx.plist files.
The equivalent folder for Acrobat 6 is called com.adobe.print.AdobePDF located in the users home library preference folder.
I hope this helps.
Best,
John"

Missing PDF plug in when opening a page in Safari

Hello. I am trying to open a webpage in Safari that contains an embedded PDF. I do get a message saying "missing PDF plug-in", but I already have Adobe Acrobat X (Upgraded Version) on the MBP.
I have already set the PDF's to open with Acrobat X. Any ideas?

Distiller and Missing PDF's

We are using Distiller to create PDF's, from CS version 1.
This has been working fine, but lately since upgrading to the new Intel Mac Pro, we create the PDF's fine, but randomly they are going missing or being deleted but not by the user's.
Eg, last night, i created some PDF's and they were there when i left the office, then this morning they are randomly gone.
This is happening on 2 Macs.

Hi Celebnen;
Since Distiller is an Adobe product, have you ask on their forum for help?

Missing PDF icons

I updated my Adobe Acrobate Reader to the 9.2.0 version a few weeks ago, and ever since then, the icons next to PDF files have disappeared and are now just generic file icons.
Not a HUGE deal or anything, they still open with Adobe Reader and are still associated with that program, but all the PDFs in the file don't show the Reader icon with it anymore...
Small example of how they all look in my Explorer windows:
I am using Windows XP Professional if that helps?

I had this problem.
It's quite likely you or your system administrator emptied a folder that Windows uses for temporary programme installers and for some stupid reason Adobe points the Acrobat PDF icon to some file that was in that folder instead of somewhere more normal, like c:\acrobat\...
The quick fix is this: (I know you're using v9 Pro) - 2 ways listed below:
Run Acrobat's Update from Help/About. If that does not fix your problems due to an error, your Acrobat installation is buggered although Pro itself works fine/does enough of what you want so keep on going. Reboot and try the next option. I'm sure your Windows XP installation is fine/not affected.
Download Reader 9 from the Adobe website. By default it shows the most current (version 10 at the mo). Click on the link that asks you to download for a different OS but the page that comes up is actually one which allows you to choose back dated Acrobat Readers, just click the choices to move on through.
Go ahead and install Reader 9. It pretty much has everything you need to fix your icons without the faff of uninstalling/reinstalling Pro. And if your Pro installation was as buggered as mine (I couldn't even uninstall the thing because fo what hap[pened after the icons went missing), I could still use Pro for everything that I do.
Anyhow, by now your default icons should change to PDF icons.
Reboot to make sure the changes stick.
Now to test it:
1) If you open a PDF, Pro should still fire up. Icons fixed. You're sorted.
2) If Reader fires up, open a Windows Explorer and follow similar steps above this post but change the application from Reader to Pro.
Icons fixed and Pro opens. You're sorted.
ONE LAST THING: If in Acrobat the Updater reports an error go to File > Preferences > Updater and change the update setting to Off (not to check for updates). This shuts up the Acrobat warning that pops up saying there's an update to install and which on my system only generated errors because it couldn't find what it needed from my original Pro installation before I got myself into this mess.

I am missing PDF Printer (PDFMaker), have reinstalled Adobe Professional and even did a repair making sure I added the PDFMaker options - it still will not add the PDF Printer (PDFMaker) option - which is necessar to use with our document comparison softw

Please help me add back the PDF Printer - I am missing the PDF Printer (PDFMaker) and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Professional 10, I have tried repairing it and made sure the options for PDFMaker are selected, to no avail. I need the PDF Printer to use with our document comparison product, using the add printer options and adding the Adobe converters doesn't fix this issue either, it just adds an option to convert documents to PDF to a local folder which doesn't fix the issue.
I have a contract for Adobe Support but cannot reach a technician by 1-800 number, does anyone (1) have a solution to this problem? and (2) a telephone number for which I can call for assistance?
Thanks!

Unable to place jpg then Missing PDF Plugins Format.aip

Something happened suddenly, everything was fine this morning.
I opened a new file...Then I tried to place a jpg and it wouldn't allow me. I started getting some missing plugin errors, tried to relaunch illustrator and I cannot. I get the Missing Required plugins PDF Format.aip error. I also cannot re-install as I don't have back-up disk, I work for a non-profit always on a budget.
The PDF Format.aip is in the packages, I can see it there.
OR any other suggestions. On a deadline.

surfkalapaki,
Uninstalling, running the Cleaner Tool and reinstalling may be you only option, unless someone comes up with something cleverer.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
For reinstalling, you may have a look at the options below.
Access to older versions through CC goes no further back than CS6, and there seems to be no plan to change that. Access to CS6 ends if the subscription ends.
This means that it is necessary to have or acquire a licence to get access to an older version. If you buy a second hand version, make sure to get a licence transfer through Adobe.
Here are Adobe pages for downloading CS6, CS5, and CS4:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html
Adobe has started setting up a general set of pages for downloading older versions (requiring a licence) here, so far covering (at least) CS6 and CS5.5:
https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
Until (even) older versions are added, this thread made by staff about downloading the old stuff, with its reference to the Prodesign Tools page is recommended (the last link goes back to CS3):
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5418120#5418120

It is crucial to follow all the initial steps precisely.

Missing pdf file

Hi
I was working on a PDF file for a long time, just highlighting some text and using sticky notes. I have used to save the file frequently at the same location. Suddenly I found out that the file is missing from that location. Tried to search it on other locations or at recycle bin but with no success.
Can anyone help me with that please?

That sounds strange. businesscircle_logosgray.pdf is the spiral image above the word "Company" in the template. I assume you deleted it, when you made your own templates. It is supposed to be a place holder to replace with another image.
I would probably try recreating your new template and keep the image just in case. You could also try creating a new blank template and paste everything from the business template except that image. Hope you manage to sort it out.

Missing .pdf file when loading template

Hey everybody,
I just switched from a PC to a Mac and found Pages pretty cool. I'm running the trial and made a few templates based on the business letter template that was included with the pre-installed Pages 2 on my MacBook. When opening my template I end up with a window showing me an error message that the file "businesscircle_logosgray.pdf" is missing. My template then opens up correctly but the error message is showing up every time I open it. When I copy its contents into an empty document and save it to another template it works 2 - 3 times but then I get the same error. The business letter template opens perfectly without any errors.
Is there any way to solve that problem?
Thank you in advance

Trial Version of LiveCycle Designer 7.1 Missing PDF Preview

Following the HELP/Getting Started instructions to test 7.1, I notice that I do not have the "PDF Preview" tab next to the "Body Pages" tab. I never noticed this missing tab until the final steps of the exercise instruct me to use it. I would really like to continue in the tutorial, but until I get this figured out, I don't want to waste time if the product is faulty. (I was really getting into it...when my heart sank!) Can anyone help me?

In addition, it is my understanding and experience (with version 6) that it must be installed
b prior
to installing LiveCycle Designer. If that requirement continues with version 7 that means that at this point you would have to uninstall LiveCycle Designer, install Acrobat or the latest Reader and then reinstall LiveCycle Designer.
I suggest you save your work (forms, custom library elements, etc) before uninstalling so you can restore it after reinstalling.
