Not Responding when Saving a PDF

I am trying to combine a large number of pdf files into one large pdf binder. I am able to combine, and search them the file once it is combined, but when i try to save it, i get a "Not Responding" message. Sometimes Adobe stops working and closes and sometimes it just freezes up and i have to end task using task manager. Anyone have any idea of what would cause this and how i can fix it?
Thanks

I will move this topic over to the Acrobat forum (this is the Adobe Reader forum).

Help! Pictures are not shown when saving to PDF. Cannot Preview Print Job.

I guess you need to fix it
Or if you would like some help provide some information - there are no mind reader supporting this forum and we can only work with the information you give us - right not that is "it does not work"
iPhoto has no "save to PDF" function - exactly what are you doing? and what exactly do you want to do?

Adobe Elements 9 not responding when saving changes

Adobe Elements 9 says not responding when I save image changes. I does eventually save the image changes but takes awhile. Is this normal? My computer is rinning Windows 7 and I have 8GB of ram so I don't think that ram memory is the problem. Thanks

In other versions of photoshop elements, you don't get the not responding
thing at the top of the screen when saving png files, but it still takes a noticeable
amount of time to save png's in other versions of photoshop elements and the full
photoshop version.
I haven't been able to find it yet, but there is a post somewhere in the photoshop forums
where an adobe photoshop engineer explained why png's take longer to save than most
other file formats, but ssprengel said something about the compression of png's which
sounds like the gist of the post.
There have been more than a few complaints about the not responding messages in pse 9
on windows machines for various operations, but as far as saving images, the not responding
message doesn't seem to hinder saving files, but it is very annoying.

Dreamweaver cs 5.5 not responding when saving file!!!

Dear Comunnity,
Kindly help if anyone knows
Reinstalled recently Adobe Dreamweaver CS 5.5 and started having problem.
When i'm working with Dreamweaver and saving file, *.html, *.php, *.css and etc. It just stop responding and i can't do anything, task manager not helping, can't turn off pc, it just shows "shutting down" and ... none, only power button helps me.
It deletes file that i'm tring to save and creates *******.tmp file with code which were inside. And problem that it's happening randomly, once i start and it's not responding in 2 saves, next time it just not responding after whole day of work.
Never had anything like that before.
If anyone knows, looking forward for your support.
Thank you!

"Save As" not responding when downloading a PDF

I routinely download PDFs which has never been a problem. As of today I am receiving a message stating "Save As" is not responding. I have attempted to repair the program but it is still not responding. I am running Windows 8.1

Acrobat not responding when saving

I use Adobe Acrobat X and Windows 7 (incase that makes a difference). Everytime I save it hangs and then it says "not responding" and if I leave it long enough it will recover and save. It happens everytime I save a file, doesn't matter how big or small the file is, or where I get it from, if I download it from the internet or create my own. Does anyone know how to fix this?

You might want to try to empty the TEMP folder to see if that is part of the problem.

Knockout Group option not applied when saving to pdf

Hi!
Been working on a logo that features a realistic looking brushstroke - meaning vectorising the project features hundreds of differently shaded layers. The logo features a flower shape layer that needs to be cut out of the logo.
Question shortly: Is there a way to cut out the outline of the shape on a group that features 'say hundred' layers in different colours (about 30)
I've tried (without a desired result):
- Pathfinder - Minus Front (with click) not working with this group
- Pathfinder - Minus Front (alt/option + click) making it a compound path - not working because it turns the whole group into one colour
- Knockout Group option under opacity settings, which initially worked - but saving the file to pdf, the knockout group option is not working. It's either disabled or the flower shapes as knockout group are white.
Im using Adobe Illustrator CC
Thanks!

The "mask" object is not in the "Opacity Mask" thumbnail area in your first image. Make sure you layer the flower above the object(s), select all and choose "Make Opacity Mask" from the Transparency Panel flyout menu. This will make the top-most object a mask. You'll need to then turn OFF "clip" so the portion outside the mask is visible.
Should look something like this:
You can have more than one item on the Opacity mask and of different values. Color is ignored.
Please note: When first creating an Opacity mask AI will only recognize the top object (or compound shape). Thereafter, you can edit and create objects on the mask at will, just like working in normal mode. By default only the mask's "effect" is visible. To view ONLY the mask OPTION+Click the Mask thumbnail.

Logic not responding when saving or changing settings & Can't record audio

I have just started to use Logic for the first time (installed it a month ago and now trying to use it).
I have the latest version of Logic, OS X and have a MacBook Pro.
I do not have any external hardware or plug-ins installed.
PROBLEM:
Whenever I try to save or save as a song (even when there is no MIDI or Audio in the tracks) the colored pinwheel spins forever.
I also was trying to figure out how to record audio. I discovered that there was no path for recording audio which might be the problem why I couldn't get it to record (see below), and when I clicked the select path button it also froze on the spinning pinwheel.
Audio Recording Problem:
I set one of the default Audio tracks to Input 1 (built-in microphone) and I see the monitor responding to sounds, but when I turn on the record button on the track and then click record, the mic is still working but nothing is recorded in the track. When I open Garageband and record it works perfectly fine.
Help?

I had many problems with my Mac G5 2.7 refurb/Logic 7.2.1 when I first got it back in March. Although my problems were different than yours some things I remember doing that helped:
Trashing Logic's preferences fixed a situaution where my Logic windows were flashing randomly and Midi info was corrupted causing my Mackie Control Universal and my Korg Triton to freak out Logic.
Repairing disk permissions because 2 times Logic did not totally install correctly. Yes I reinstalled Logic at least 4 times to figure out why I was having freezeups system wide.
Working closely with Apple Care documenting my problems and finally getting my local Apple store in our local Mall to change out the motherboard, dual processors and optical drive. Yes essentially a new computer. Since that time I have not had one system wide freezeup (any wood around here)
or major problem.
AT one point running the "Quick Test" from Apple's startup disc showed a Bad RAM chip. Again not related to you but running the test could show something.
I have 2 issues left to fix - Logic 7.2.1 for me has a transposition problem. Midi tracks will show up after I open a song file transposed down a step. The fix is to reboot Logic which is a pain. 2nd - Annoying beep coming from my power supply. Beep is audible in studio near the tower and is also in the audio chain coming out of speakers. No fix yet but again I'm working with Apple Care.

I am having autocad not respond when I am making a pdf using autocad 2002 and adobe acrobat XI

I am having autocad not respond when I am making a pdf using autocad 2002 and adobe acrobat XI
We have adobe acrobat 8 on another system that seems to work fine, what elsedo we need to do to get this trial version to work properly.
We are able to get everything set up , sized, etc, but when the actual process starts it is stating "autocad not responding and it just spins and never makes the actual final pdf.
Any help on this would be appreciated

It's probably a compatibility problem with the updated PDF libraries vs. you hopelessly old ACAD that can't be resolved. In any case, I'd consider it one of those things of trying to attack the problem on the wrong end. All major CAD programs have native PDF export these days and even ACAD has had since v2006 at least...

Adobe Acrobat XI Standard
Version 11.0.09

I have this issue too, but my colleagues do not have this issue(we have same Acrobat Pro 11.0.09). I am sure this issue happens only you updated to 11.0.09, because when you use Windows Restore back to 11.0.08, no issues.

When saving a pdf the objects on the page appear offset of the page boundries.

This happens mostly in illustrator but it just happened again to me while printing a .ps booklet out of indesign and converting to a pdf using distiller.
See the image below:
The left shows my InDesign Document. On the right is the pdf that results from the save. As you can see the page boundaries are being completely disregarded when saving the pdf and everything is equally shifted down and to the right.
Here is an example of me having the same problem in illustrator:
As you can see there is sometimes zero correlation between what is on the artboard and what page the objects end up on in the pdf.
This problem also has another strange symptom, it seems to have to do with dragging images from firefox onto an artboard in illustrator. The image is place automatically in the center and all objects in the file move together in one direction. see before and after photos below:
Before:
After image dragged in:
You can even continue to drag images in and it will move in the same direction the same amount every time:
I'm running Adobe CS6 on OSX 10.9.1.
Thanks in advance!

In so many words: We can't know. You have not provided any details about your exact settings, what version of Acrobat, your placed images, color settings, color profiles and a million other things including perhaps providing your test fioles for inspection by other people. That aside simply ask in teh relevant ID/ AI/ Acro/ PDF forums. This place here is a dead place and only meant for general sales, install and activation questions, not specific workflow questions.

Fonts not embedding when "save as" pdf

Version: Photoshop CS4 64 bit on Windows Vista 64.
Issue: fonts not getting embedded during conversion to pdf.
I am attempting to save files for commercial printing in Photoshop pdf format (file-save as-pdf). In the past, using previous versions of Photoshop, the fonts have always been embedded in the pdf document when I choose the "Press Quality" pdf preset. However, now, even when I simplify my Photoshop source file down to the most basic level (one non-background layer with one line of type using a font I KNOW has successfully embedded before) the resulting pdf reports NO embedded fonts (no fonts at all, actually) and when sized up a great deal in Acrobat Pro shows pixelation as though the type was converted to a graphic. If I open the resulting pdf file in Photoshop the text is still editable though...
I have Photoshop files that were built using a previous version of Photoshop (CS2). When I open these in Photoshop CS4 and save as pdf the fonts are embedded just as they always were so the problem lies not with the CS4 version of Photoshop itself but rather with NEW files created by it. It seems that any NEW files I create using Photoshop CS4 wil not embed their fonts when saved as pdfs.
Help !!?!! (example file attached)

Good points. To test that out I tried substituting different non-commercial fonts (Arial, Tahoma, Times, etc.) and then saving as a pdf. No matter what fonts I try they don't get embedded. So that would seem to rule out the idea that Photoshop CS4 is now restricting the embedding of fonts to non-commercial ones.
I have poured through the save-as-pdf options in GREAT detail - have tried many various options and don't see any settings that have either made a difference or seem relevant. According to Adobe documentation anytime you select "Press Quality" as the preset the fonts should automatically be embedded.
The really odd thing is, if I take a psd file that was originally created using a previous version of Photoshop, delete all the layers and then create one single line type layer so that it is identical in every way to my CS4 test file, any font I select gets embedded when I convert that file to pdf - same exact pdf preset - all file settings the same - everything! - except that it was originally created using a previous Photoshop version.
Does that make ANY sense??

Gaps in-between livepaint shapes when saving to PDF

Im using CS6 and when saving to PDF my live paint objects have a slight gap inbetween the shapes in the live paint object. They do not appeare in the illustrator file or when saved as jpeg, png, etc only PDFs. I have been using Illustrator for a couple years now and this has not happened in previous versions I've worked with (CS3, 4, and 5)
Thanks

You may be able get rid of them by changing your acrobat settings such as turn off smooth line art.
