Pdf creator from office 2010

I have windows 7 64 bit installed. When I want to create a pdf from a office file it does not print. I do get a message to store to a certain locations. after that it does not work at all.
I have tried from the word/excel file and from my pdf 9 software. both do not work. when the file is small it sometimes works?
In the beginning it works after downloading updates I have these problems uninstall and install again was not a succes either. I have the adobe acrobat 9 standard.
can somebody help me?

Both of you may be using 64-bit versions of OFFICE. If so, I don't even think the print function will work. If you are using a 64-bit office, try a 32-bit version instead. Even AA X has a problem with the 64-bit OFFICE, but am not sure if it is just in PDF Maker or with the print. As for OFFICE 2010, you do need at AA X with updates to use PDF Maker. With AA 9, you can only print.
Printing to the Adobe PDF printer works fine from the 64-bit office  as documented here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/882/cpsid_88296.html

  • Acrobat 9.5, file corruption when combining .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document

    In Acrobat 9, when I combine .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document, there is data corruption. Some of the text appears as blank boxes when the pages are inserted into the larger .pdf, the main document. I have so far solved this by "printing" the files to .pdf, and then inserting them into the larger .pdf main document, but this creates a fatter .pdf file that is much larger than would otherwise be the case. Are there any other solutions within Acrobat 9, please? If this bug has been solved in Acrobat X or XI, please advise. Thanks.

    As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
    As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
    Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

  • Adobe 8 printing from office 2010

    I am having trouble with Adobe 8. Recently the issues we are having have been increasing rapidly. We have had trouble with 1 machine and formatted it/replaced it 3 times.
    We are using more and more 64 bit machines and we still run Adobe 8. We have issues were people cannot print to adobe from office 2010. We fix this with the first update for adobe 8, however after a few days we get the issue again but this time telling us we cannot print to adobe because the printer is not installed when it clearly is.
    I believe adobe 8 has compatibilty issues with 64 bit machines and I would like confirmation on this. We are in need of a permanent fix, we cannot go around having to troubleshoot PCs every day because of Adobe. Every day employees need to stop working because of an Adobe issue.
    Another issue we have on PCs is "A serious error has occured, reinstalling adobe may fix the problem" well guess what.. it doesn't.
    We also have adobe 9 pro but we cannot use it because its only able to be installed onto a PC where another adobe product is installed. But most of the users only use adobe acrobat and whatever else comes with it and are unable to install adobe 9 because in order to do so we need to remove 8 and when you remove 8 you lose the ability to install 9 because you can only install it due to having another adobe product installed on the PC.
    These issues are burning through time, time we need to fix actual issues not on adobe 8 constantly playing up.
    Thank you

    It is Acrobat's PDFMaker that processes Office applications' files to PDF.
    The only PDFMaker that supports Office 2010 is that associated with Acrobat X.

  • Scripted Import MRU list from Office 2010.

    Hello all, i was wondering if anyone could help with this, we have a script that exports the MRUs as reg keys from office 2010, it exports the following as a .reg file on the source machine, and on the destination machine it imports the reg key so a user
    moving machines has all of their recent documents:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\File MRU]
    "Max Display"=dword:00000019
    "Item 1"="[F00000000][T01CF9ABB0FC89840][O00000000]*C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Documents\\FILENAME.xlsx"
    This works absolutely fine when coming from 2010 and going to 2010, however since we have put 2013 on the destination machines, the script doesn't work due to the user ID field being unique to each user:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\User MRU\AD_CC97ADD968A5532BF33D5693E751F2355768058F0819CBCF30AD727C87634047\File MRU]
    "Max Display"=dword:00000019
    "Item 1"="[F00000000][T01CF9ABB0FC89840][O00000000]*C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Documents\\FILENAME.xlsx"
    would anyone know of a way to export from 2010, obtain the AD_CC9...... ID, and change the .reg file to this as part of a scripted import? 
    as it stands im having to open each application (word, excel, powerpoint) and click on file to generate the AD_CC..... reg key, then copy the key name from registry editor, and edit my 2010 exported .reg files to re-import manually on the destination machine.

  • Osa.exe Missing From Office 2010

    Has osa.exe been removed from Office 2010? I can't seem to locate it. My installation was done as a custom install and selecting all options except for Access and Visio Viewer. Office is installed on Win 7 Enterprise x64.
    I tried to copy osa.exe from a machine with Office 2007 but when I run it with -n I get an error that says, "The operating system is not presently configured to run this application"
    John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum |

    Nevermind, I found my own answer. I really like having "create new office document" pinned to my start menu. I guess that just no longer an option.
    Office Startup Assistant
    Although turned off by default in 2007 Microsoft Office system, the ability to create a new Office document from the
    Start menu, or Office Startup Assistant (OSA), is completely removed in Microsoft Office 2010. Users can no longer manually turn on the feature in the
    Start menu through Office 2010 setup or open a dialog box to create a new document in an Office 2010 application.
    This feature is replaced by the ability to create a new Office document for each Office 2010 application from the Microsoft Office Backstage by clicking
    New and then creating the document. In addition, the improved functionality is compatible with the 64-bit version of Office 2010.

  • Upgrading from Office 2010 to 365

    Upgrading from Office 2010 Pro to 365 Pro Plus - I know you must uninstall 2010 and install 365 or can run them concurrently. Question is - if you uninstall 2010 and install 365, what settings are lost and what settings are retained? Outlook signatures?  Word
    and Excel settings and preferences? 
    Also must the OST files be re-downloaded again?  I hear there's a 40% compression improvement so this might be ideal, just want to know if the GPO to not re-download the OSTs actually works in this scenario?

    Hi,
    Uninstall Office 2010 will not remove any user settings, the user settings will migrate upon the first use of each Office 2013 application.
    By default, when Outlook 2013 is installed, a new compressed version of the Outlook data file (.ost) is created. This new compressed version of the .ost is up to 40% smaller than the size of the .ost files that were created in earlier versions of Outlook.
    So it is recommended to use the new .ost file.
    The "Do not create new OST file on upgrade" policy also works for Outlook 2013, however you might need to download the new Outlook Group Policy template (Outlk15.admx). Outlook 2010 template should not work in this scenario.
    Regards,
    A.B.

  • Office 2013 Upgrade - Retain Recently Opened Documents/WorkBooks from Office 2010

    Hello,
    In our Windows 7 environment, we are planning to upgrade our users from Office Professional Plus 2010 to Office Professional Plus 2013 via SCCM 2012 R2. One of the user requirements is that we are to retain their recently opened files/documents
    so that the history will still be shown even after they have upgraded over to Office 2013.
    From what I have researched, it may be possible to do this if we copy some of the user's registry keys from Office 2010 and export them to the Office 2013. However, I have not tried it and wanted to see what thoughts you guys may have on this.
    Has anyone run into this situation? Any advice on this? Thanks.

    Hi Jimmy,
    Did you get any error message when you try to open an Excel file/Word document?
    If so, you can post the error message and  event log here.Also ,if you had antivirus software installed, try to disable them to test this issue.
    In addition, what happens if you add the network server location as a trusted location?

  • Can't create a PDF using "print" from Office 2010 w/ Acrobat 9.5.1 installed

    I've been working on a lengthy Word document for the past three days, upgrading most of the inserted images and straightening out the formatting. Converting the entire 180-odd page document every time I made a few updates is a bit time-consuming. I also noticed that when I converted the entire document as a whole, the quality of some (not all) of the images in the document was significantly degraded. So I'd been using the Adobe Acrobat printer selection in Word to create single page pdf files, and then used the documents tab in Acrobat to insert the new page and delete the undesirable page.
    This was working fine for two days. Then I was attempting to print a page, and didn't notice the "Creating a PDF Document" window, nor did I see the requested filename in the target folder. I attempted to print the page a second time, but nothing happened. After closing several open pages, I found the "Creating a PDF Document" pop-up. But the progress bar was stuck at about 20% and never moved. Eventually I closed the pop-up and attempted to print again. The pop-up reappeared but stuck at 20%. Rebooted and got the same. I rebooted again and went into Program and Features and ran repair on both Office 2010 and Acrobat. No change.
    I'm operating Win 7 (64 bit) w/ SP1 on an AMD E-350 1.60Ghz processor w/ 8GB of ram. I'm using Office Professional Plus 2010 build 14.0.6112.5000 (32 bit). I've included the System Report below. The only trick I have left is to uninstall and reinstall, but hoping for a more specific solution. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Can I sync my iCloud calendar with Outlook 365?  I upgraded from Office 2010 and now it doesn't sync.

    I upgraded from Outlook 2010, and now it doesn't update in Outlook 365.  Thinking I can't do it, and it's a pity, cause I want it all to integrate on phone and on desktop.  I'm running Windows 7 and Office 365.  The iCloud app works fine with Internet Explorer, but I can't get the calendar to update.  Any suggestions?

    Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
    Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
    Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
    No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
    What is the best work around for this?
    None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
    I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

  • Migrating to office 365/Win 8.1 from Office 2010/Win 7.0 the Outlook Personal folders are missing.

    In Office 2010 I had emails archived into private data file personal folders/subfolders under Outlook 2010. My Office 2010 installation was wiped out when I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1. The outlook.pst files are still available. When I installed
    Office 365 on my Windows 8.1 system, Outlook 365 picked up the .pst and populated the Inbox and Sent folders, but the archived email personal folders are not present, and also the contacts folder is empty. I haven't been able to figure out where on the hard
    drive the personal folders were actually archived (in Office 2010 ) or if Office 365 will even support showing these personal folders.

    Problem solved. I found a separate .pst file in my backups that contained the personal folders and the contacts. This file wasn't in the Win 8.1 documents\outlook files folder. So two .pst files are needed; one for the emails and the other for the personal
    folders.

  • Using Acrobat X and creating a PDF File from EXCEL 2010, I notice that the Pagination restarts at 1 for each Worksheet included in the PDF.

    I use Acrobat X Standard and created a PDF file from two or more worksheets using EXCEL 2010.
    The resulting PDF file restarts the PAGE # (In header/footer settings of Excel) at 1 for each worksheet.
    However, a colleague of mine who has Acrobat X Pro version, using EXCEL 2010 and same exact file does the same task, he gets a file that starts at page 1 and second worksheet continues the page # from the last page of the First worksheet.
    We both are using the ACROBAT menu (not the print to Adobe printer) to create the file so that we can get Bookmarks included in the resulting file for each worksheet.
    We cannot figure out any option in Acrobat's preferences that controls the pagination on either of these versions of Acrobat.
    So is this just a feature that works one way in Standard version and another way in the Pro version, and the user has no control over it?

    This is so sad. I read your comments and I said, "Huh?" Haha!
    I tried the indexed color option and it did make the final file smaller. Around 600KB. But there's probably another way to make it even smaller like the gazillion-paged pdf file that I mentioned that was only about 300KB.
    And by saying a layout program, does that mean like Adobe InDesign? Does that mean that I should just make my graphics in Photoshop and then import using another program and finish the file there?
    What other layout programs can I use?
    Thank you so much!

  • PDF conversion from Word 2010 incredibly slow and loses format

    Just moved onto new laptop with Windows 7 Word 2010
    and downloaded Acrobat 9 Pro trial.  Have used Acrobat 8 with Word 2007 and earlier versions with no problems. Now taking half an hour to convert a document and cutting out margins.  Just today I was talking with Adobe tech help and was advised Acrobat 9 is compatible with Word 10.  Any suggestions?

    You should be able to print to the Adobe PDF printer, but nothing else probably will work with OFFICE 2010 as Adobe told you. You probably can just wait until AA10. There are no current expectations of AA9 being updated to work with OFFICE 2010 (at least the PDF Maker part.).

  • Opening Pdf Attachments From outlook 2010

    Good day I'm having problems with a user where he has to click a pdf attachement multiple times before it will open and the adobe proccess stays open after the document is closed so after a while there are like 20 adobe processes open.
    Please advise on a solution as this is extreamly urgent.
    The user uses Office 2010 and windows 7 64bit
    Thanks

    Hi Michael
    The thing is the first time you double click the attachment nothing happens the second it will open and even after closing adobe reader the process will stay open and does not close so after a while it keeps getting slower and slower.
    I have tried reinstalling Adobe multiple times does not help i have also disabled the start-up screen via the registry setting still the same problem.
    Thanks in advance for the help

  • 3D PDF'S from Inventor 2010

    I've just downloaded the trial version to check the ability of Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to produce 3D PDF's of Inventor 2010 parts and assemblies with the intention of installing it on all our CAD computers so that 3D images will be available to non-CAD staff and be included on our web site.
    When selecting files to create 3D PDF's from I have the option to select .ipt (IV parts) and .iam (IV assemblies) files but all those I have tried fail to convert.   The error message tells me the file is either not supported (but they are listed for me to select), or damaged but even newly created files fail?
    Is Acrobat able to create 3D PDF's of IV part or assembly files or not? 

    Dave, thanks for your prompt response.
    Thus far I've been able to produce 3D pdf's, from inside Inventor 2010, with individual part files (= .ipt), and some small assembly files (= .iam) ).
    But I can't get the program to convert large iam files, which is the reason why I bought it.
    1. Please tell me if Acrobat 9PE works with "Direct X" graphics, when using the "Print Screen" method.
    2. Please tell me if Acrobat X Pro/Extended works w/Inventor 2010.
    3. Please tell me where I can get a detailed "Help" file for the "3d Editor". The existing "Help" file is incomplete in many of the details. It looks like the parent company of the 3d add-on did a shoddy job of documenting the program.
    Thanks ... Chris

  • PDFMaker missing files issue with PDF Forms from Office 2007

    Hi,
    I have Adobe PDF 8.0 Pro installed  (full installation) and I upgraded office from 2003 to 2007 AND Windows from 2000 to XP Pro.
    I used to be able to create PDF Forms from an Excel document when using Office 2003.
    Now, when I choose to create a new form starting with an electronic document [from an Excel 2003 document (.xls)], I get this error message:
    "PDFMaker files are missing, would you like to repair?" (please image attached)
    I did the repair. Did not worked.
    I made sure the add-in in office was enabled. Did not worked.
    I un-installed Adobe 8.0 Pro and Adobe Reader 9.0 and re-installed only Adobe 8.0 Pro , thinking there was a problem there. Did not work.
    I googled for more answers, did not find anything else.
    I am able to "print as Adobe PDF", I can create normal PDF documents, but not the Forms.
    I used that option all the time for work. Can someone help me please?!!
    Thanks!
    Gwen

    Bill, it worked!!
    I updated to 8.1.6 and now I can use an electronic document to create a form.
    Thank you!
    I have another question: in the past, to enable Acrobat READER users to fill out a form and save it on their computer, all I had to do is "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" in the "advanced" menu of Acrobat Pro.
    I did just that but my colleagues who have Adobe Reader 9 cannot fill the form. It appears as a scanned PDF document to them.
    Any idea why?!
