PDF Creation Add-on / Contribute

Hallo!
Seit einiger Zeit - vermutlich seit einem Flash-Player Update - erscheint bei Rechtsklick auf irgendeine Datei oder auch beim Löschen/Kopieren einer Datei ein Installerfenster, welches das PDF Creation Add-on installieren will. Dazu wird ein msi-File im Ordner D:\Adobe CS4\payloads\AdobeContribute-PDistiller-mul benötigt, aber auch bei eingelegter CD nicht gefunden (Ordner ist dort vorhanden). Ich habe alle gefundenen Tipps umgesetzt aber ohne Erfolg. Das sind:
- neuste Verison von Windows Installer installiert
- Windows Installer Clean Up Utility ausgeführt, zeigt aber nichts zum Deinstalllieren an
- Adobe Software neu installiert (Contribute CS4, Indesign CS3, Flashplayer, AdobeReaderX)
- System bereinigt mit CCleaner
Nützt alles nichts, der Installer erscheint weiterhin hartnäckig und nervt allmählich ziemlich arg :-( Hat noch jemand eine Idee?
Gruss, Gonepteryx
Systemumgebung
Windows XP 32bit SP 3
Contribute CS4 (inkl. Adobe Air, Bridge etc., komplette CD)
Indesign CS3
Photoshop 6.0
Flashplayer 11
Reader X

Welcome to the fourms.
You will have better luck finding a solution in the Acrobat forums, rather then here in the Premiere Pro forums.
Cheers
Eddie

Adobe PDF Creation Add-On 9 install error

I have just upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit and was able to install Robohelp HTML without any problems. However, when I try to install the Adobe PDF Creation Add-On I get the following message: "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."
Since I rely on the PDF Creation Add-On to create PDF files I need to find a resolution to this problem. Is there a Window 7 version of the Robohelp installer that I can use?

Adobe PDF Creation Add-on keeps installing!

Hi. I have a annoying problem on my Vista computer. Every time I click on a pdf related folder, program or file "Adobe PDF Creation Add-on" installs. Again and again, and all over again. Please help me fix this issue.
Greeting from Norway
(If you need more spesifications just say so :P )

Did you ever figure out how to fix your problem? I've got the same issue. I installed Acrobat Pro 8.1.4 upgrade and now it continually tells me its installing whenever I:
1. Start my computer
2. Start MS Office 2007
3. Start Mozilla Firefox
If I disable the addon to make PDFs then it doesn't try to install. The installation obviously doesn't work because even if I allow it to complete the installation process and restart it still tries to install again and the software doesn't work properly. Sometimes Acrobat opens, other times it just keeps trying to install.
If you have figured out how to fix it, It would be nice if you could pass on the info.
I did try using the MS Office installation cleaner (another forum recomended it), but that was totally useless.
Thanks

Error instling Acrobat - a higher version Adobe PDF creation Add-On is already

When I try to install Acrobat XI Pro the setup complains "Setup has detected that your already have a higher version product - Adobe PDF Creation Add-On 11.0.01 installed. Setup will now terminate." How can I complete the Acrobat install?

The correct answer is
Uninstall the Adobe PDF Add-on via Add/Remove Control Panel and then install Adobe Acrobat XI.

I wish Adobe had real support.

InCopy is best for PDF creation...what do you think?

I use Apple pages 09 export to create PDF documents with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (mac). I use these with my clients, and since I am a communicaitons consultant, I want them to stand out. I have found pages does not do the entire job...I must add things to the PDF in acrobat (such as flash) and pages has bugs (links don't show up in left column of links in adober reader). So, I am becoming disolutioned with pages to pdf.
I am very technically oriented and an expert computer user, so I have been thinking about moving to a more roubust word processor to make PDF documents. I understand Adobe has such word processor (InCopy I think). I will reserach it, but I am looking for advice from users. What is the best way to go?
Does InCopy allow everything to be done in InCopy (and not a 2 stage process of adding things in acrobat). Are there alternatives to InCopy that I might look at? Is there anything better for PDF creation? Print is not a big issue for me, just PDF/electronic documents.
thanks
bob

InCopy doesn't do what you want. InCopy is designed for to create content that will eventually be placed into ID. I could be wrong, but I'd ask in the Incopy forum, not here:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/incopy/incopy_general
To some extent I think you would be better off with InDesign. It is not really a WP, but you can use Pages, TextEdit, Nisus, Mellel or any other WP as a Word Processor and then just place the content into InDesign. Can you use InCopy to place the content into InDesign, sure, but I really think of InCopy as an integrated workflow product for group content creation.

Acrobat stops functioning halfway through PDF creation

I have to convert a very large WORD document (a book, 680 pages including illustrations, tables, index etc.) to PDF. Let me begin by explaining that I've already done this in the past, using Acrobat Professional 5 and Office 2000 Professional; it took ages to create the PDF file, but I was able to do it. At that stage I actually had Acrobat 6, but since it blocked halfway through PDF creation, I went back to Acrobat 5 and managed to create my PDF file.
I've recently had to revise the document in question, but I now have Office 2007, Acrobat Professional 8.1.2, and a new laptop (Acer Aspire 5105, AMD Turion 64x2, 2.0 GHz, 160GB HDD). I tried converting it to pDF yesterday, but once again found that the program blocked halfway through (while creating Tags; it gets up to 60%, and then just stops functioning). I thought this might have something to do with the sceensaver starting up, or else the automatic saving of the WORD document, but I don't think this is the case.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be, and how o solve it?
Mark

It should convert exactly as long as you have done the editing with the Adobe PDF printer selected. This is a WORD issue. The ability to do the conversion was my concern and tags are likely the issue for such a large document, particularly if you have a lot of graphics. Keep in mind that to create the PDF, a PS file is first created -- that is a format that is not very small in terms of storage and could be huge. Your TEMP folder is typically limited by windows and may need to be emptied to hold this file.
Optimizing the graphics up front is also good. Using Mike's suggestion to find the problem graphic would be useful, but is hard to do with PDF Maker (I don't think you can select the pages with PDF Maker). Printing to the Adobe PDF printer will check the layout and also the ability to do the conversion. If the latter works, it is then a matter of determining what you need in PDF Maker.
If you do not need the markup (or wish to add later), then you can save a lot of space by simply printing to the Adobe PDF printer. With PDF Maker, you likely need to go back and review the defaults.

Dynamic PDF Creation

Has anyone used server based PDF creation components? I am
after some recomendations as I am sure someone here must have used
one before.
All I want to do is use a template on the server, and
populate fields from a database when requested. It needs to be able
to add photos that have been uploaded as well.
This is all the functionality I require, and there seems to
be many many packages available that seem to cost the earth and do
a lot more than I need. I have been trying to find one that does
what I need and doesn't cost that much.
Any recommendations?
Cheers,
Steve

I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. Mac users can no longer read the page numbers but pc users can.

I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. As of about 2 weeks ago the mac users can no longer read the page numbers they get a font error message and see only -- where the page information should be. The pc users do not have this same problem. When I replace our regular font (URW Grotesk) with a system font (Verdana) everyone is able to read the page numbers. This is a new issues, I have been creating these documents in the same way for years without a problem. I have been on hold and on and off calls for the last two hours, I keep getting hung up on once I find someone in adobe support to talk to!

Hi KnoopL,
Are the Mac users using Preview to view the pdfs or Adobe Reader?

Word crashes mid PDF creation - Word 2003 Acrobat 9.3.0

I have a new PC and a fresh clean install of CS5 Design Permuim, including Arobat 9. The organisation is still using Office 2003 and no upgrade path in sight for that. Myself and several colleagues with the same software profile are now experiencing frequent problems with Word crashing mid PDF creation.
This has always been an issue with the ocassional Word file in Acrobat 8, but Distiller always worked as an alternative - NOT this time!
PDF Maker gives no error message, just that Word has encounted a problem and needs to close.
Distiller produces the following log message, then freezes completely. I then have to force quit Word to exit!
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: --nostringval-- ]%%
Stack:
/mF_OTF_V
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Not all documents are affected, but I can remove almost all of the content from the affected document and it still causes the error.
I have tried repairing Acrobat - no change.
One other odd symptom - after each crash, the default printer on the machine has changed to Adobe PDF.
I can successfulkly make the PDF on another machine which has not been upgraded to Acrobat 9. The rest of the settings are identical on the two machines, they are both running a standard organisation environment, with the same verion of word etc.
Can anyone suggest how to fix or at least isolate the cause of the problem?

Please update to latest Acrobat 9 release which is 9.4.2.
Also do let us know
a) office 2003 flavour: Standard or professional?
b) OS flavour? Also whether it is 32bit or 64bit?
Also as you mentioned that "Not all documents are affected", so we would require any of your affected file to analyze the issue. Can you please share the file? You can use acrobat.com to share the file.
Thanks,
Vishal

Multiple Page PDF Creation

I would like to be able to scan in individual pages and then combine them as multiple page PDFs using Leopard.
Can this be done? I don't have any PDF creation software.

I have answered this myself.
Leopard's Preview can combine individual PDFs by drag-and-drop. Nice.

PDF creation from ID - not outlining fonts correctly

Hi all. I have a query regarding PDF creation from InDesign (so this could have been in the Acrobat section instead but went for this one).
I work for a publisher using CS2+3 on PCs. We don't have one out of house printer as a rule but several. All have different requirements.
Essentially we are converting fonts to curves from within InDesign when creating the PDFs. Therefore we have multiple files (curved and text) which is adding lots of time onto projects and adding a further margin for error with missing or out of date files. It seems this process is necessary as whenever I select the option to outline the fonts when creating the PDFs, the printers usually get in touch asking for the font, even though it has been outlined.
I am hoping to find any simple solution, hopefully avoiding purchasing extra software, that avoids creating duplicate 'curved' files. I realise it's a big topic and not restricted to InDesign but this is the main software we are using so figured this was the place for it. Many thanks.

I'll let others question the necessity of outlining text. It has been discussed many, many times before, and the only valid reasons I found so far are producing files for hopelessly outdated printers (the usual recommendation is "find another one, fast!") and for legacy custom hardware such as cutters and engravers.
But this is really a mystery to me:
It seems this process is necessary as whenever I select the option to outline the fonts when creating the PDFs, the printers usually get in touch asking for the font, even though it has been outlined.
Tr this: outline all text in your ID document. Export as PDF. Check under Document Properties, Fonts. How many fonts do you see? If everything is outlined, there shouldn't be any.
How does the printer know what fonts to ask for, and what is he ever gonna do with these fonts?

Repetitive PDF creation issue in PREVIEW (Terminal option to not save?)

i have a real annoying issue in Preview which i generally find to be a model of efficiency. it is for pdf creation and goes like this:
i scan 50 images into Preview in order to create a pdf to send to someone.
i rotate them and make sure they are properly ordered and oriented.
i select them all and go to print pulldown menu item
then i select the pdf button at the bottom lower left (this is redundant and would be really nice to eliminate by providing a PRINT TO PDF pulldown)
anyway, then i create the pdf and i try to CLOSE OUT of Preview.
however - since i don't need the images any more i am not MANUALLY SAVING ALL THESE IMAGES by CLICKING SAVE on each of the 50 images (this is a pain too and would really be nice to fix)
/instead/ what i have to do is to click DELETE on all 50 images in order to simply close out of Preview after having saved my PDF.
is there a better way to do this and if so what is it.
also, why isn't preview smart enough to not act like adobe software and to give me a "Don't Save All" or "Delete All" button instead of giving me carpal tunnel confirming this on each image.
is there a Yes <> No switch in Terminal that will turn this off??

You can open the PDF in Acrobat and save to Acrobat 4 compatibility, either through optimize or preflight. I would also ask the client why they want Acrobat 4 compatibility.
