PDF Converter for Acrobat Pro 8 problem in windows 7 (64)

Hi,
I just recently upgraded to Windows 7 - 64 bit and I am getting the following error message when I try to print to the Adobe PDF printer:
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: setdistillerparams; ErrorInfo: CalCMYKProfile U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
Error accessing color profile: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I am using Adobe Acrobat 8 professional version 8.1.4 that came with CS3 Design Premium and have installed all current updates. Regardless of the chosen program (Word, Excel, Photoshop) when I attempt to print to the Adobe PDF printer, the print job stops at about 10% completion with the above error message.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kyle

Thanks everyone for the helpful hints.
In the end I unstalled and then re-installed the entire Adobe Premium CS3 in Windows 7 (64 bit). The big difference was loading the adobepdf.dll_64 file at the proper point during the installation process.
Adobe has published a full explanation of this issue at the following URL:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401731.html
Once installed, it's also important to update Acrobat 8 to the latest revision to get the PDF Converter working again.
Thanks again,
Kyle

    Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows  Word Program.  I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.

    Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
    When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...

  • How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

    How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

    There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
    You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
    If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.

  • I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

    I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

    So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro.  Results were reproduced.  The verdict is:
    - complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
    - different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
    - using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
    - adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
    - just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
    It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating  the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality.  It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some  improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and  whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet.  But  unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was  getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

  • I have signed up for acrobat pro, why can't I edit my PDF? It is still asking me to upgrade to pro.

    I have just signed up for a subscription for acrobat pro. Why is it still asking me to upgrade when I try to edit my PDF?

    Especially, be sure you are USING Acrobat. Many people keep using the free Adobe Reader, which isn't changed.

  • Unable to install updates for Acrobat Pro 9.0 and MS Office 2008

    This is a followup post to a nagging problem last fall that prevented successful installation of product version updates for Acrobat Pro 9.0 and Microsoft Office 2008 running under OS X v10.6.5. Days of fruitless, circular pursuit of solutions from both Adobe and Microsoft tech support provided no recognition of the problem…let alone an answer.
    Fortunately, a few helpful techs at a nearby Apple Store yielded results. They were initially as perplexed as their counterparts but it gratified to this customer when each recognized the problem was real and was sufficiently motivated to track down a solution.
    By process of elimination it was suggested: i) reinstall the original Snow Leopard 10.6.0 upgrade disk; ii) download the v10.6.5 combo update to bring the OS current; and iii) download and install the Acrobat and Office updates. It worked—perfectly—the first time.
    The consensus seems to be that a combination of many successive installations of OS and product version updates eventually produced conflicting instructions resulting in stalemate.
    Remarkably, it hasn't been necessary (or appealing) to perform a clean install since some point prior to the introduction of OS X. Nor has it since. A 'rollback' to the original Snow Leopard version with one subsequent update to the current OS version appears to have cleared out a nest of remnant conflicting instructions. Kudos to Apple's tech support and Occam's Razor.

    Hello,
    You can download the Acrobat 9 updates manually by following link:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    However, PDF Maker plugin would not be enable in Outlook, as Acrobat 9 is not support with Office 2013.
    Please refer to following compatibility chart:
    Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications
    You need to have Acrobat 11 to get PDF maker plugin in Office 2013.

  • I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI

    I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 (Mozilla) to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI. Each time, Acrobat replies (in french) : "il n'y a pas de client pour la messagerie par défaut". Thunderbird is indicated as "by default" in the list of programs of Windows.
    Even if I type my e-mail address, etc. in the account of Acrobat, it doesn't change. Each time, I have to record a PDF file in a folder and return to Thunderbird to send it as attached. It is a too long process,  compared with Windows XP with Acrobat Reader or Acrobat 5, I had before.
    Would you please help me to explain the process. My OS is Windows 8.1.
    Thank you

    Thank you for your answer.
    What i want to do : to send PDF files as attached documents in a message
    generated by thunderbird by my e-mail address [email protected] or
    another one I have.
    When I introduce my e-mail address under Edit-Preferences-Email
    Accounts, Acrobat ask the e-mail account, the password, the IMAP for
    ingoing message (and I use POP) and SMTP for outgoing messages. Even I
    introduce all the datas, it doesn't change, Acrobat is unable to send
    the message. And the process is not convenient, because I need all my
    outgoing messages be documented inside Thunderbird.
    So, I repeat my request : how can I use thenderbird as program by
    default from Acrobat or any other software ?
    Thank you for your next message.

  • Security violation error (error code 2148532330) in Acrobat Pro XI with Windows 8

    I have two certificates, physically residing on the same (Belgian) government issued smart card. One is labeled "Authentication" (Intended usage: sign transaction), and the other is labeled "Signature" (Intended usage: sign document). I have been trying to add a signature to a pdf document in Acrobat Pro XI (trial) on WIndows 8 Home (64 bit). It works perfectly with the "Authentication" certificate, but all attempts with the "Signature" certificate yield the following error:
    Error encountered while signing:
    The Windows Cryptographic Service Provider reported an error:
    Access was denied because of a security violation.
    Error Code: 2148532330
    The only relevant difference between both certificates that I have been able to spot, is in the "key usage" field of the certificate ("sign transaction" versus "sign document"). Any thoughts on what might be wrong?
    Thanks.

    I assume you are implying "biztax" application here, right?
    I have contacted their program lead, with no result at all.
    Past days I have been searching for a solution - reinstalls / new systems - no solution.
    This issue appeared a week or two ago only.
    I found http://forums.adobe.com/message/5338853 useful - but no positive results either.
    http://test.eid.belgium.be/faq/faq_nl.htm obviously didnt help either.
    If anyone finds a solution to this issue, please do let me know - any help is appreciated.
    Biztax tells to use the "signature", not the "authentication"  - but it is only Auth. that is showing up as option to sign (that works)
    ps, did you fiddle with the Adobe Reader XI security settings and import that PKI etc as well? I hoped that would be the breaktrough. Sadly i'm still crying in my chair.
    Oh, and dont forget: they claim nobody else got this issue. Maybe one or two people. (We got about 8 customers experiencing exactly the same symptoms at the same time )
    >  I noticed that when I try to open the pdf  document that is 'signed' by the government it is not showing the filename in the title bar, but only " - Adobe Reader".    every piece of info helps I guess.
    Obviously last version of Reader   11.0.03

  • Still no PDF Creator after Acrobat Pro 10.0 to 10.1.0 patch

    I installed the Acrobat X Pro patch for 10.0 to 10.1 as recommended in this forum, in the attempt to solve the program's inability to create a pdf with EITHER Acrobat Pro's "Create PDF" option OR with the Adobe PDF Printer. My OS is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I can now create PDFs from WORD and EXCEL files; neither worked before the update.
    The message from Acrobat's "Create PDF" is "Missing PDFMaker Files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?" If I chose "yes", Windows repair runs for a couple of minutes and stops -- but trying "Create PDF" again brings up the same message. This is true with ALL files I try.

    As far as I know, PDF Maker for AA X does not work with versions before OFFICE 2007. That means you either need to go backward with Acrobat or forward with OFFICE. You might wait for others to confirm this, but it is what I remember seeing posted. However, you need AA X updated for Win 7 on a 64-bit machine. A few have gotten AA8 to work on Win 7 (not sure about x64). AA9 also works on Win 7, but I am not sure about the 64-bit system. I think the updates may have fixed that aspect. I think the bottom line might be your OFFICE software. Hopefully someone else will drop by to confirm this note. A compatibility chart is available at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html. Too bad it is so hard to find. You have to search for it. Looks like compatibility for AA X goes back to OFFICE 2003, not OFFICE 2002. Guess your information may have helped me answer your question after all. Bill

  • Fix for 3d parsing for acrobat pro 8.2.0

    Is there a fix for the 3d parsing for acrobat pro 8.2.
    I know this is a issue with version 9. Well its become a problem in version 8.2 also. Thanks it was working great before.
    I really need this fixed

    Adobe Professional 8 worked fine until it was updated by Adobe.  We paid for it.  Then Adobe decided to open up the hood and remove the window washer motor.  Now we can't see 3d.  Whatever they broke, they fixed in Adobe reader 9.3.3.  But they haven't fixed it in the professional version of 8. Adobe did something borderline criminal by breaking the software and now expecting everyone to upgrade to fix something that wasn't broken until Adobe broke it.  Fix it now Adobe!

    I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro due to Windows 8 malfunction with starting up. I am trying to reinstall as I am an owner of the Creative Suite CS6 and I cannot access my serial number. I purchased the software in 2013 and never registered i, apparently. When directed on Adobe's site to access the serial number, it takes me to an outside 3rd party site, which I tried but it does not actually work. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey beccac85068042,
    Adobe will provide you the serial number only if you are a registered user.
    Please refer the following link to know more on registration for Adobe products:

  • Can I load Acrobat Pro 6 onto Windows 7 and upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9?

    Can I load Acrobat Pro 6 onto Windows 7 and upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9?  My former PC ran on Windows XP and this new PC runs on Windows 7.  I don't want to shell out another $449 when Acrobat Pro 9 worked fine for me.

    You might be able to install Acrobat 6 for this purpose, but you probably won't have to. When you install Acrobat 9 Upgrade it should (if I remember right) ask for the serial number of your "qualifying" product and at that point you put in the Acrobat 6 serial.

  • Is there a Safari extension (or plug-in) for Acrobat Pro?

    Is there a Safari extension (or plug-in) for Acrobat Pro? I use to have one, then when I updated to the new Yosemite operating system, it disappeared.

    For Acrobat Pro? I don't really understand. You don't typically *edit* PDFs in a browser.
    Note that Acrobat Reader is totally unnecessary on OS X. I'd recommend avoiding it. If you are creating PDFs, or doing advanced features that make it worth spending hundreds of dollars, then Acrobat Pro may make sense, but otherwise, just use Preview.
