No ability to create PDF Files using Acrobat 6.01_6.06 after installing Word 2010. (Windows XP)

Since installing Word 2010 (upgrading from Word 2003) there are no visable PDF Icons nor ability to create PDF Files using Adobe Acrobat 6.06. Operating system is Windows XP. Browser is IE8. Various attempts to bypass this situation have not been successful. No problems had been experienced earlier using Acrobat 6.01 through 6.06 with Word 2003 and earlier Word versions during the passed 10 years or so. Adobe's support is not responding to recognize mentioned situations, nor is there any a solution to fix the problem. Low volume small businesses,with limited need to create PDF files, are being considerably burdened to substante a $200 investment to upgrade to Acrobat X, which may as well not be the solution. It is appealed for Adobe Forums readers to share similar experiences with possible fixes at hand. Responses will be greatly appreciated. Thank you...

Your response is greatly appreciated, Bernd...
Unfortunately, those of us who milk software packages for eons such as
Acrobat 6.06 Standard, a full version of Acrobat X is quoted to be $299
with no ability to upgrade since 7.0 is the cutoff which remains to be
only $139.
It seems to me, Military personal, retired or just ole toots who did
their think, would offer considerations such as Staples, Lowe's, and
other big boxes offer. Such is greed for some who do not consider
alternatives above their noses...
Thank you,

Batch create Multiple files in Acrobat X and X1 cannot convert Word 2010 with graphics

I work for an exams board where hundreds of exam papers are produced. Once approved, these exams are converted to PDF and sent to print. Using the Batch Create Multiple Files option is therefore essential to getting these papers print ready on time. We have found that using this function to convert multiple Word 2010 files with graphics will not render it properly. It deconstructs the graphics which loses the integrity of the exam paper.
I have trialled the same group of files on Acrobat X1 with the same result.
Have other Acrobat Pro Users experienced the same problem? Is there a fix?

I have uploaded the files and shared them. These are the links

How do I edit a PDF file using Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0

How do I edit a PDF file using Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0
I need to edit - copy, extract text, add text, etc. from existing PDF files to SAVE my changes,
or create a new PDF file from an existing file.
This is very important for me to be able to do my job effectively.
I spent over 2 hrs the last few days, and another hour today, still can't do it.
PLEASE respond ASAP with a solution.
Thanks in advance,

PDF is an end destination format - although Acrobat is capable of making minor changes to a file (e.g. to correct typos) it is not a word processor or DTP application. Major changes must be done in the original document, and the PDF file re-exported.
You can copy text from a file by selecting it and right-clicking, or you can save the file as plain or formatted text. To make small changes to the text on a page, use the touchup tool - see the help file for more info.

Can't view PDF files using Acrobat Reader X

We made many PDF files available on our Web site. In the past few weeks we noticed that users who were using Acrobat Reader X and Internet Explorer 8 or 9 were not able to view some PDF files. Basically, when they clicked a link to display a PDF file, the screen would be cleared and the status bar showing "Loading ...KB/...K/B" would be displayed. The status bar would move a bit and then got stuck. The PDF file would never be displayed. Sometimes, my users could click the Back button to go back the previous Web page and sometimes they had to close or kill the IE window. Small PDF files seemed to be fine. I was able to repeat this problem on PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7. I also tested clicking the same PDF files with PCs installed with Acrobat Reader 9 and I was not able to cause the problem to occur, so I am pretty sure that this problem is related to Acrobat Reader X. I also noticed that if I unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" option in Acrobat Reader X so that PDF files would not be displayed inside the Internet Explorer window, I would be able to view all PDF files without any problems.
I also did an experiment by resaving many PDF files using Acrobat Pro (Reduce File Size...) to be compatible with Acrobat 8 or above. I was able to open these PDF files using Acrobat Reader X but when I used a PC with Acrobat 9, it would get stuck instead. Most of my PDF files were created a long time ago and we usually made it compatible with Acrobat 5 or above.
I saw that some people reported some problems with Acrobat Reader X but I did not see a solution except uninstalling Acrobat Reader X and installing an old version of Acrobat Reader instead. Anyone has any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this problem?

Sounds like you got the trial of Acrobat. Go to add/remove programs, get rid of it, the download the free Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/

Problem reopening and/or refreshing PDF files using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0

I upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 and have encountered problems refreshing PDF files in the Safari 2.0.4 browser when I am logged into the secure area for Value Line Publishing. Some of the PDF Files in this area can be opened and/or refreshed multiple times. Other PDF files in this area allow me to open them once. I cannot reopen those previously viewed files (or refresh the screen) -- after refreshing, the window changes to a blank white screen, and the files do not reopen.
I am perplexed because I do not have difficulty refreshing the PDF files (within Safari) using the native PDF viewer, I did not have problems refreshing files using Acrobat Reader V. 7.0 and I do not appear to have problems refreshing PDF files using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 when I am outside the secure area or on other web sites.
I have replaced the Acrobat Reader plug-in, manually removed all remnants of previous versions of Acrobat Reader and reinstalled V. 8.0. and I also upgraded from Mac OS 10.4.8 to 10.4 9, all to no avail.
I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
I can also download the PDF files to my hard drive and refresh them multiple times within Safari and also using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0
The software personnel at Value Line Publishing have investigated their system and have referred me back to Apple. Has anyone heard of similar problems associated with Adobe Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 used in conjunction with Safari 2.0.4?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Rodney
Welcome to Apple Discussions
This sounds like one of those "oddities", contributed to by a few sources.
I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
Wondering if you disabled the Safari Cache would the refresh function work correctly? As a test you can disable the Safari Cache by Emptying the Cache first via the Safari menu, then Quit Safari. Now go to the Finder>Your User Library>Caches>Safari. Single click on the Safari folder, then Apple Key + I to open Info panel. There, check the "locked" box. This prevents further additions to the cache. The downside, you lose your ability to upload images etc. within Safari (my cache is disabled, so I use Firefox for the uploads).
Then restart Safari. Try the PDF from within Safari.

Printing web page to pdf file using Acrobat Standard 9

When I print a web page to a pdf file, the text in the file is mostly garbled. I have no problems in creating pdf files from MS office or other software. I have Windows 7 Home.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I do have Internet Explorer 9 and I was able to print web pages correctly following your suggestions.
Thanks for your help.

There were problems with IE9 on it's initial release and that may be what you are seeing if that is the browser (you did not indicate the browser and that may be a key). If you have a different browser you might try that one with the same pages to see if it browser related.
By saying garbled it sounds like the fonts did not make it or you have selected "Use Local Fonts" in Acrobat. Try checking the latter first. Then check if the fonts are embedded in the PDF by checking the document properties (ctrl-D). If they are not, go back to the browser and select the press or print job options before printing and see if they get embedded and if your problem is resolved.

How to check the resolution of a pdf file using Acrobat 9 pro?

How to check the resolution of a pdf file using Acrobat 9 pro?

PDF files don't have one resolution, but may have none or many different resolutions, one per image. You can check the maximum/minimum resoluion with preflight in Acrobat Pro, but not in Adobe Reader.

Print PDF file using Acrobat SDK - Warning message

Hello,
We are trying to create automatic program in c# that will print all pdf files located in a specific folder, using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 SDK.
Whenever the application tries to print file, we receive a warning message ("WARNING! A script has requested to print an Acrobat file. This could print an entire document. Do you want to proceed printing?").
If we press yes, the file is printed, but next time we'll run the application, this message will appear again.
Since this application supposed to run automatically (with no interaction with the end users), we want to prevent this warning message from appearing.
How can we eliminate this warning message?
Is there any other way to print PDF files using Adobe Acrobat from another application?
Thanks,
Lilach.

joeln3: I believe the original post refers to a client application, not a web page. Why use JavaScript from within a client application? I understood their use case to involve a client app referencing the PDF Library, loading various PDF files, and using one (or more) of the PDF Library's Print methods to invoke Acrobat's internal print routines.

Creating PDF files using file adapter

Hi,
Is it possible to create a pdf file using, File/FTP adapter? If yes can someone please suggest how to do it.
Thanks,
Phani

Hi Phani,
I would say pdf files are binary files with a specialized format.
You can move pdf files through BPEL or ESB (i.e. file/ftp -> file/ftp), or from file to database BLOB and database to file, by importing the schema as opaque.
However I doubt that file adapter can create PDF files from a plain-text xml file, i.e. as PDFCreator would.
In a sense a pdf file is much like a jpg, mp3, or zip file, it can be passed through bpel but not created.
In other words if you have a base64Binary element in xml, that you know is the complete bytes to a pdf, jpg, or other file, you can write it out as a file using the File adapter.
Thanks
Steve

Unable to print PDF files using Acrobat 8.

I had to uninstall and then reinstall Office for Mac 2011. I don't know if it's related or not, but since doing so I have been unable to print PDF files using Adobe Acrobat 8. After opening a PDF file and hitting print, Adobe Acrobat 8 crashes. Any suggestions? I already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 8, but it still won't print PDF files. O

While you are having difficulty in printing a PDF file, you may try the subsequent steps. If you are in a rush and would like to print a simple document such as a letter, a form, or a calendar, you may print it as an image. Next option is that you may need to update your printer driver if the PDF does not print, the PDF prints as a blank page or with unreadable text or if you get an error message when you print. Sometimes, when you print a file that is on a thumb drive or a network, the file gets damaged. Then you have to open the copy on your hard drive and print again. At last, you can try printing the PDF using another printer and check your printer connection too if the PDF does not get printed. get more help to fix unable to printer PDF file hope this helps you.
Good Luck!

Create PDF file using PL SQL

Hello All:
I have an requirement of generating a PDF file using Oracle PL SQL program. Can anyone please let me know the procedure/code of doing this?
Thanks,
k Ramesh Gupta

I have steps to generate Excel sheet output, apply appropriate content-type for PDF in the PL/SQL written below, to get the same in PDF. i suppose it should be application/pdf
1. Create a custom DAD if required using Enterprise Manager Console of MidTier for HTTP Server or use Portal DAD itself to implement the solution.
2. Create a new procedure (a webdb solution) to stream the HTML for the excel sheet report which will be downloaded.
a. Login to Portal schema through SQL*Plus or the respective DAD based schema if custom DAD is created. (below example is created in custom DAD - 'scott').
SQL>CREATE OR REPLACE
PROCEDURE generateCsv
as
cursor p_emp is select * from PORTAL_DEMO.EMP;
begin
owa_util.mime_header( 'application/vnd.ms-excel', False ); -- Here change the content-type to PDF Format accordingly
htp.print('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="pvasista.csv"');
owa_Util.Http_Header_Close;
for v_emp_cur in p_emp
LOOP
htp.p (v_emp_cur.ename || ',' || v_emp_cur.deptno || chr(13));
END LOOP;
end;
SQL> grant execute on generateCsv to public;
For education purpose getting the report of employee and deptno of al employees from PORTAL_DEMO.EMP table. Implement the necessary query/ Business Logic accordingly.
b. Now access http://midtier_host:port/pls/dad_name/generateCsv, will download a .csv based excel file report as shown in the screenshot below,
3. Open the Portal Page where the link is to be added, createa URL Item Link and add the above URL, select option "Open in new browser window"
4. It can also be enhanced to have filtering enabled on the report by using Portal Form using Option, "Form based on stored procedure" and selecting the above stored procedure.

I am unable to read pdf files using Acrobat Reader on my MAC OS X. Any suggestions?

How do I read pdf files using my MAC OS X?

You can read pdf files with preview. Select a pdf document, right click on it, and choose Preview. You can also get info and select to choose Preview for all.
You can also install Adobe Reader 10.1.3 for Lion. It will also install a plug-in to read pdf docs in the browser.

Cannot create pdf files using Pro X

I am running Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) and just installed Acrobat Pro X and am unable to create ANY pdf files from any type of document. I am also running Office 2011 and Pages for Mac. Every time I click on a document file and try to convert it to pdf I get a message that says "Acrobat could not open the file because it is not a supported file type" These are simple .doc; docx; .xls and pages documents I am trying to create. Straightforward word processing files, nothing more. I am able to convert .jpeg files to pdf with no problem. But there has to be something basic I am doing wrong or some basic setting needs to be changed.
Any ideas?

You have to recognize that Acrobat can only convert certain file formats to PDF. And there are less formats that can be converted on the Macintosh than in Windows. In Windows, Acrobat uses an Office plug-in to convert Word, PowerPoint, etc. files. That plug-in is not provided by Adobe for the Macintosh. As to why that is, that's been a subject of ongoing debate for at least a decade.
Here are the formats you can convert WITHIN Acrobat on the Mac: Image formats (JPEG, TIFF, etc.), EPS, PostScript, Text, HTML.
So if you want to convert your Word or Pages documents you'll need to use the Macintosh Save as PDF facility. PDF is Mac OS X's native file format. Keep in mind that you can't expect to do some of the fancier things with Word files made possible by the Windows Office plug-in. You can't save bookmarks, hyperlinks, etc. and expect them to appear in the PDF file.
You can also use a script that should be installed by default when you install Acrobat Pro X. Instead of choosing Save as PDF (the OS X option), you can choose Save as Adobe PDF. This script (when it works...it seems pretty fragile) uses Distiller in the background to do the conversion. And this script can also not convert Word bookmarks or hyperlinks.

How to use Javascript, C#, or Java to automatically fill out a PDF file using ACROBAT PRO

Hi.
I have purchased a copy of acrobat pro and am currently using it to try to create a method of populating certain fields in a PDF file.
This particualar scenerio is a printable cerficiate, it has a spot for the persons First Name, Last Name, and other basic info.
So we have an exisiting editable PDF, a database with the user's info, and a ASP.NET web server, and of course Acrobat Pro.
How can I use these components to create an auto fill script?
Ideally, we'd genereate these certs on the fly, and allow users to download them.
A code sample would be awesome.
Thanks!

I've discovered that you can create a "PDF Form" and edit that form with Javascript.
My question now is, what is the prefered method for controlling the pdf form?
I would like to include the PDF file in an HTML page and edit the form fields using javascript in that HTML page.
I think that this is how developers are meant to work with dynamic pdf files.
In the acrobat javascript reference, it only shows an example using the acrobat javascript console.
If anyone has used Javascript with PDFs, I would highly appricate some input.
Thanks,
