No PDF file was created because Acrobat encountered an unidentified error (Acrobat 10.1.10)

When attempting to merge multiple word documents (office 2010, acrobat 10.1.10) they fail to create a pdf with the error detailed above. No errors are displayed within the event viewer in reference to these failures. The same issue occurs when attempting to right click on a word document and converting it to PDF. Performed repair of Office and Acrobat, did not resolve the issue. Anyone have any additional tips / tricks for getting this to function properly?
Computer is running the following:
Microsoft Office 2010 Enterprise
Adobe Acrobat 10.1.10
Microsoft Windows 7 x64

Hey Guys,
     The print function works perfectly... the current workaround for the end user is to print the files to pdf, then merge them together (though this isn't viable when wanting to merge 10+ documents due to the time it takes to print each one individually). Merging other documents works just fine... It just appears to be specific to Word documents.

  • No PDF file was created because Acrobat encountered an unidentified error.

    Product:
    Adobe Acrobat 8
    Windows XP SP3
    Problem:
    when user try to combine multiple PDF files into one file from network drives (hence that user have full permissions), received this error:
    "Error (file skipped)
    No PDF file was created because Acrobat encountered an unidentified error."
    Steps taken so far:
    - cleared windows temp files
    - cleared acrobat temp files
    - tried, same error
    - ran acrobat repair, tried it out, same error
    - made adjustments to "PDF Printer Properties per this article 
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Document_Imaging/Adobe_Acrobat/Q_23903725. html
    - tried again, no luck.
    - removed adobe acrobat and reinstalled it completely from scratch.
    - ran updates
    - tried again, no luck.
    - granted the user full permission access to acrobat folder under program files, still same error
    - then, copied files that I need to convert locally to the system and tried to combine them, it worked!
    - its not permission issue as I tried the same from my domain admin account and received the error.
    - also the user reported that acrobat takes 15 o 20 sec each time opening a file
    Any ideas?!
    Thanks!

    If I change the properties to open as administrator, within the program I can combine pdfs over the network drive.
    .  I can't drag and drop or combine pdfs from windows explorer and everytime I open acrobat it asks if it can make changes.
    So it's still best to copy to c drive in order to use Combine and Portfolio features but would be really nice to use as designed.

  • Unable to combine files on acrobat 8 getting error message "no PDF file was created beacuse Acrobat encountered an unidentified error"

    unable to combine files on acrobat 8 getting error message "no PDF file was created beacuse Acrobat encountered an unidentified error" Please help

    A lot of the time the files can not be combined because of incompatible fonts, or at least font sets that could not be resolved. Maybe that will give you some direction to look at.

  • Run big report in PDF hangs though the PDF file was created in server

    When running Oracle reports6i big master-details-details report(220 pages) in PDF format thru report server CGI on Netscape Enterprise Web server, it hangs. But the pdf file was created when checking in the server and is good when it's viewed directly using IE. Also checked the http://domain_name:8083/cgi-bin/reportcgi/showjobs?server=repsrv, the Job Status was 'FINISHED'.
    The HTTP_error_Log in the server is:

    Please help as our users demand it urgently.
    Thanks a lot.

    1) This bug734197 is fixed in version 3.0.5.13.0, which means it should be available in 6i (the version you are using) also. But from the bug description I see that it is reproduced with Reports 6.0.5.28.0 version also. If your reports 6i version is higher than this, it may contain this fix. Best thing is to apply the latest patch. The patches should be available in metalink (metalink.oracle.com) .
    2) For troubleshooting purposes run the report in html/rtf and see whether it times out. ( just to see whether
    this is a PDF specific issue)
    3) Disable acrobat web integration (in Adobe acrobat settings) and try . This will prevent Acrobat reader from opening the pdf automatically and instead will show a dialog to save the pdf report ( There are some IE - Adobe issues which are not reports bugs).
    4) There were some threads some time back which had this problem with long running reports and PDF. Finally it turned out to be webserver timeout problems. Pls see ( this is for 9i servlet and Apache webserver, but for 6i also it could be similar)
    Re: Long running reports end successfully - present s "page can not be foun
    5) If these does not work and if you are not able to make further progress, I suggest you to get in touch with Oracle Support (if you have a support contract) to solve this issue. [ If the possibility is that the bug you are mentioning is not pushed forward to 6i (a remote chance) then only they will be able to a get a oneoff patch.]

  • Xref table is missing when a pdf file is created with acrobat distiller 9.0.0

    Hi
    I created a pdf file with the new acrobat distiller 9.0.0 and i noticed that the xref table is missing in it.
    Whereas the pdf files which created in older version (acrobat distiller 7.0.5) had the xref tables.
    As i have written a perl script to open the pdf files (used a ready made module downloaded form cpan.org). The script works fine with all old pdf files but fails when it tries to open the pdf files created with distiller 9.0.0.
    Could i know is any thing changed on acrobat distiller 9.0.0 ?
    Thanks
    Balaji.

    PDF documents of version 1.5 and higher can contain cross-reference streams. Read the PDF Reference.

  • I just started a free trial of the Adobe XI product that allows me to create an editable PDF. I'm done creating the form and ready to export it. When I click Export PDF from the File menu, it says Adobe encountered an unexpected error. What am I doing wro

    I just started a free trial of the Adobe XI product that allows me to create an editable PDF. I'm done creating the form and ready to export it. When I click Export PDF from the File menu, it says Adobe encountered an unexpected error. What am I doing wrong?

    Good to know  — there is no such application as "Adobe XI".
    "Adobe" is the name of the company.
    "XI" is indicative of the use of either Acrobat XI or Reader XI.
    Neither Acrobat XI Pro (for which Adobe provides a free, fully functional 30-day trial) nor Adobe Reader XI (the free to download and use PDF viewer that Adobe provides) have  an "Export PDF" entry under "File".
    "Export PDF" only is present in Adobe Reader XI over on the right on the "Tools" panel.
    The "Tools" panel provides a way for a user of Adobe Reader XI to connect to various By Subscription online services (gotta pay eh).
    Export PDF is one of these. A subscription lets you send a PDF file to the online internet service (aka "cloud" service). The service then exports to a supported file format (Word / Excel / ...) and the user selects / directs where the output file is to be saved on the user's local machine.
    Of course to use any of the online subscription services one must have an active (paid up in full) subscription to the service.
    So ---- As described the puzzle pieces don't fit eh.
    What specific Adobe (the company) applications are you using?
    Acrobat XI Pro? Adobe Reader XI? Both? 
    Be well....

  • A PDF file was filed in documents. when trying to move this file to trash i got response : operation can't be completed because the itempdf is in usen

    A PDF file was filed in DOCUMENTS, when trying to move this PDF file to trash I got the response: "Operation can't be completed because the item ..... is in use".
    How do I get this document deleted from the system?

    The suggestion to move items from documetns to desktop and then moving to trash is the one that worked.
    I have now one other question and that is that during my strugle with the original problem I called with Apple helpline and there they suggested to move the application "Preview" to trash and then the  issue would be solved. I did so but clearly the issue was not solved.
    Bottom line is that with your solution I got rid of the PDF files, but I still need to reinstall the Preview application. Do you have suggestions how to do that??

    But all good saves in the format of TXT and jpg.
    I have uninstalled and restored and re-installed and updated and registry cleaned and removed using the special utility Cleaner Tool for Acrobat, but nothing helps.
    On one notebook with Windows 8.1 and Microsoft office 2013, on another laptop with Windows 7 and Microsoft office 2010, the same problem, although there are computers with Windows 7 and Microsoft office 2010 and everything works.
    Tell me where to find the problem and how to solve it.

  • "Save As failed to process this document. No file was created." Error trying to convert pdf to word document

    Hi - I have a pdf created from indesign as a print quality pdf. The client now wanted to text in an editable format so they can reuse the content for a new years event.
    I get an error message "Save As failed to process this document. No file was created."
    Can anyone help out here?  There are a lot of graphics in it and it is horizontal - could any of this be an issue?
    Thanks
    Nikola

    Totally agree. Saving the pdf as a word file gives it the look of a word file, until corrections have to be made. The text flow will be, so to say, "strange". Reusing that file in Indesign ...
    We always save as rtf, send that one back and relink it afterwards (as long as the styles stay the same, only smaller corrections have to be made.

  • This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.

    I have a postscript file which has been created from secure or encrypted (opening restriction) pdf.
    Now when i use distiller to convert this postscript file to pdf then distiller cannot produce a pdf file.
    The log file contains following text:
    This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
    Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    1) Is there a way to convert this postscript file into pdf ?
    I have a limitation that i cannot remove security from secure pdf.
    2) Do distiller provide any settings which can be changed to convert
    this kind of ps(from secure pdf) to pdf.
    3) Can we provide password to distiller during process of conversion to
    pdf.
    4) If above methods do not work then is there a way we can
    programatically use Distiller Api's for conversion of postscript (in case
    of postscript created from secure pdf) to pdf
    Like methods 'FileToPdf' etc.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am facing a similar problem.
    My workflow dictates that I convert the input PDF job initially to PS and finally back to PDF. If the input PDF file is secure (it's not encrypted - you will still be able to open the document), the redistillation of PS to PDF fails while using Normalizer 6.0 && 9.0 libraries. If I use Normalizer 505 library, the redistillation succeeds. I have checked with the same generated PS on both Distiller 6.0 && 9.0, and both the versions fail to reconvert as well. I am a little surprised that 6.0 and 9.0 will fail to do something that 505 library manages.
    Any suggestions?

    Nothing much. Different formats.
    How to fix?
    Try editing the original file. Resample pics to a lower resolution, check out other graphics, check table borders (eliminate any dotted lines or borders), check font usage. When generating PDF, try Save As (instead of Print > Save As), although I don't expect that'll make much difference.
    Next, open the PDF in Preview, choose File > Save As, choose Format: PDF, Quartz Filterz: Reduce File Size. If that isn't enough, you can use ColorSync Utility to duplicate the Reduce File Size filter, and then edit it for a more aggressive size reduction. But keep in mind that size reduction means lower quality.

  • Save as failed to process this document. No file was created.

    I've had Adobe Acrobat XI installed on my computer since November of 2013 and had never had any problems with the 'Save As' function - I could save all kinds of PDFs to Word, Excel, Power Point -- whichever format I needed -- until yesterday. Now I am suddenly getting "Save as failed to process this document. No file was created."
    I also have the exact same set up (Windows 8, 64, Adobe Acrobat XI) on my laptop and have no issues w/ the "Save As" feature. To make sure that it is just my desktop's Acrobat that is acting strange, I took the exact same document and was NOT ABLE to "Save As" on desktop -- and was, with no issues, able to "Save As" the exact same document to Word on my laptop.
    The ability to "Save As" is a feature that I use often -- so, please, tell me how I can get that feature back. I've already tried the "Repair" feature in Acrobat - no luck.

    Hi Bill,
    Yes - I did the upgrade - which I was avoiding because last time I upgraded, the font and icons within Adobe Acrobat became microscopic -- so I did a 'system restore' and turned off my updates. I have old eyes & work with Adobe Acrobat all day -- so the tiny print is horrible.
    So, now I can either NOT be able to see the fonts and have the ability to convert to Word/Excel, etc OR, I can revert and actually SEE the fonts - but not be able to convert the documents I need to convert. This sucks.
    Adobe Acrobat XI upgrade (11.0.06 and .07) has really been a disappointment. I've done all the little tricks about trying to fix the size of the fonts - but, just like most of what I've read, I can either have HUGE fonts/menus, etc or make it 'readable' by changing the registry - but then end up w/ horrible little icons.
    It's really sad to have to choose one or the other - I'm very disappointed in Adobe.
    Thanks for your input!!

  • Adobe PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat not activated

    Adobe CS3, Acrobat Professional 8.1.0, Windows XP Pro: CS3 has been working faultlessly for several years. Suddenly, when I try to print using Adobe PDF as printer I get message "Adobe PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat not activated". To my knowledge all of CS 3 should be activated. InDesign, Photoshop, Bridge, Illustrator, etc work fine. I can even open Acrobat 8 and call up documents but I cannot print to it. When I click on "Activation" in Help menu, both "Activate" and "Deactivate" are grayed out. Any suggestions?

    Perhaps you should use this tool:
    <http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html>
    The tool repairs the license but before using this tool, have you tried re-booting the system just in case this is a temporary problem?  Also, it is a good idea to create a temporary profile and try using the PDF printer to see if it is working.
    If it is working in your temporary profile, then this suggests that your preference file might need to be re-created but this is for next time after you have tried using the pdf in your test profile.
