Im trying to convert a PDF into an excel document and I keep getting an error message that reads "An error has occurred while trying to access the service". WHat am I doing wrong?

it seems my subscription had expired so I signed up again.. It was still having trouble so I repeated the sign up process again.. Then it worked perfectly.. Unfortunately, I think I just subscribed twice and need to cancel one of them. Ugh. Such a pain when I'm trying to get this project completed. I'll be canceling at least one of the subscriptions in the morning. Adobe is not my favorite company right now. None of this was intuitive. And trying to get help was an absolute waste of an hour.

HELP - Receiving error message "The file has not been processed. An error has occurred which stopped the processing of the PDF"

Have been using Adobe CreatePDF for many months successfully.
Only recently over the past few days I have been experiencing errors for periods between 3-5 hours on every attempt to convert/combine files. The error reads: "The file has not been processed. An error has occurred which stopped the processing of the PDF"
It will stay like this and no amount of refreshing the cache, logging in and out will help. I'm running Firefox 34.0.5, windows 7 64bit. Only solution I've found is to wait until the next day and it seems to be working again. Only explanation i can think of is some unexplained maintenance adobe is running behind the scenes because I'm often working late between 12am - 4am.
When this problem happens, no file types will convert/combine I've tested JPEG, PDF and word docs to PDF.
I log in and out of my account, I've cleared my cache, I'm using Firefox 34.0.5 which has always worked in the past I just don't understand how this error is happening for such long periods. Starting to reconsider this product when there are free alternatives to simply combine my PDF docs! please help.
Tom.

I am still experiencing this problem. Customer service from Adobe has been abysmal!
I called Adobe tech support at 2am Australian time ( >1 weeks ago) and got onto a help centre in India. I was walked through all the troubleshooting steps and they remotely accessed my PC and confirmed that It was not my PC that was at fault. They reset my password and dialed into my adobe account from their end to attempt a simple conversion and export to PDF which failed. I was told that this problem is not something they can fix, and is a result of something on the back end of their software.
They advised me that the problem would be passed to a fixed within 12 hours and they would call and email me to confirm everything was OK. I gave my phone number with (area and country code) my email but have not had any communication back.
I am extremely dissatisfied, and just want this software to function. Is that too much to ask?
Note: This problem is happening always now, regardless of time being used.

Unable to save PDF - Internet Explorer Protected Mode "A file error has occurred"

Hi,
I hope you can all assist! Here's the detail:
Reader XI (11.0.06) and deployed as physical installation (.msi)
Windows 7 x64 Enterprise
Internet Explorer 8 & 9
Opening PDF's from HTTP & HTTPS locations
Users are unable to save the PDF file to their chosen location (network share or local directory) "A file error has occurred".
When the Internet Explorer Protected Mode is switched off, users are able to save the file to their chosen location.
Is this is specific functionality of IE Protected Mode whereby the ActiveX control is being restricted.
Is this due to Enhanced security within the Adobe Reader 11.0.06 application?
Our current Reader version (9.3.0) is able to save files from unprotected locations, so this is creates a problem justify upgrading.
Do anyone have any suggestions?
Look forward to any assistance or suggestions.
Thanks,
Simon.

Hi Simon,
How are you saving the file (right click or from File menu)? Does the problem happen with any PDF file? Does the problem go away if you turn "Enable Protected Mode at startup" from Reader (Preferences > Security (Enhanced)?

Just downloaded PDF Editor Pro, version 3.7.0, but it wasn't working. I checked for updates; none, but it showed "an error has occurred." What do I do?

You should check the developer's website.

An internal error has occurred. I am unable to open any pdfs???

I just upgraded to the Adobe Reader XI. I can open pdf's on my harddrive, but not in oulook. Any attachment sent with an email gives me the error message: An internal error has occurred.

What is your operating system? What is your Reader XI version?

An error has occurred which stopped the processing of the PDF. Trying to convert a .tif file

I'm new to this conversion system. I tried several times to convert a .tif file to a .pdf file. I got the same message every time: "An error has occurred which stopped the processing of the PDF". What am I doing wrong?

Hi stefan235235,
I'm sorry that you're having trouble combining PDF files using Adobe PDF Pack. Does the error occur with all files that you try to combine, or just a select few?
Make sure that the files you're trying to combine aren't secured, password protected, 3D, or part of a PDF portfolio, as these types of PDFs can't be combined.
If you're combining supported file types and still getting that error, please try the following:
Log out and clear the cache. Then log back in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/combinepdf using a supported web browser (see System requirements | Acrobat.com).
Try combining smaller groups of files, to see if you can narrow the error down to a specific file or files.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

"An unknown error has occurred" AI 18.1.1

I downloaded and installed the latest Illustrator CC 2014 (18.1.1) last Saturday. I'm using the updated software today for the first time and, in the two documents I've worked so far, I already lost some work. I'm getting the "An unknown error has occurred" message. The files have a simple b&w drawing and one or two lines of text. I'm moving text blocks and/or resizing fonts using fonts I've used before and files that were working well last week. I cannot rescue the updated documents: trying to save to an eps gives me a "Can't save the illustration. A necessary resource is missing. ID: -192" message. Trying to save to a pdf give the "An unknown error" as well. OS 10.7.5 I'll appreciate any insights. ETA - I've been testing the issue: I open a page, type one character in Any Font and the "unknown error" appears - I cannot use this version of ai until I resolve this issue, can I revert to the previous CC version?

YThom,
This should help to revert to the earlier CC version:

Sorry, a serious error has occurred... Rant and a solution

Warning. Much of this post is frankly a rant against a poorly written program and the so-called experts who offer up solutions here. If you are one of these experts and you have a thin-skin, don't read this post.
If you just want a solution to the problem skip to the bottom of the post.
INTRODUCTION
Adobe, I want my money back! I rarely buy Adobe products and always wind up regretting it when I do. This product was no exception.
I tried the trial version. Bought the product along with Photoshop Elements as part of a promotion.
Produced a couple of videos with it, no problems. Then, inexplicably, it stopped working for me and I would get the infamous "Sorry, a serious error has occurred..." message while trying to start or open a project. This would happen almost immediately, as it was drawing its intial screen layout.
MY FIRST BIG COMPLAINT... USELESS ERROR MESSAGE
This has to be the most useless error message I've ever read. The few times I've had programs crash on me, the error message that results usually gives me enough clues to find and fix the root problem.
ONWARD...
Uninstalled it with Revo Uninstaller, re-installed it.
Deleted all old project files.
Tried to re-start by clicking 'New Project' button.
Prompts me for a location for the project. I accepted the default.
Immediately gives me the "Sorry, a serious error has occurred..." message and shuts down when I press okay.
MY SECOND BIG COMPLAINT... INCOMPLETE UNINSTALL
I did observe that when I went to use the Organizer after the re-installs, the thumbnails of previous videos were still there. Clearly some cache wasn't removed during the uninstall.
If a cache wasn't removed, perhaps other remnants of the the program were still lying about on my machine. If they were the problem, then no amount of uninstalling/ re-installing would solve the problem.
CONTINUING...
At this point, I came to the forums for help and my worst fears were confirmed. This error message is a common problem. The suggestions to solve it were all over the place. The sheer depth and width of this faultfinding indicated to me that this is a seriously buggy piece of software.
With one or two exceptions it seems that nobody ever resolves this problem.
MY THIRD COMPLAINT... WELL-MEANING BUT UNHELPFUL 'SOLUTIONS'
These are some of the typical solutions I read on these forums:
- Your computer is probably underpowered. Give us a list of all your specs.
- Your computer doesn't have enough hard drive space. Give us a list of all your specs.
- Your computer doesn't have enough RAM. Give us a list of all your specs.
- Something on your computer has 'changed'. Give us a list of all your specs.
- Your hard drive is dying. Back it up quick!
- It's probably your anti-virus software. Turn it off.
- Some of your drivers are probably out of date. Update them all. Give us a list of all your specs.
- That's a different issue... start a new thread. (Lame...)
Most of that advice is... well, lame. It's pretty obvious that these people are just winging it, i.e. throw everything up there and hope something works. Sorta like that tech guy on the support line who always ends up telling you to 're-install the program' because he really has no clue what the problem is and just wants you off the line.
As someone who has used video editing programs for years, I'm here to tell you that the problem is rarely the computer specs. The specs listed by Adobe for this program aren't that onerous and my three-year-old Dell 1525 laptop with less than 20 megs of space on its 136 HD and 2 megs of RAM was able to produce videos with no problem.
Most computers sold within the last three or four years are pretty robust and should have no problem with consumer level video editing.
Sending people off on a quest to 'fix' their computer and research a lot of computer specs is a time-waster. That should be the LAST thing you recommend after first eliminating the program as a problem.
ONLINE SUPPORT
This is worthy of its own post, but I won't bore you here. Suffice it to say that Adobe tech support deserves some sort of industry recognition for its ineptitude.
MY SOLUTION
First, let me reinterate. The problem is probably the buggy program and not your computer, assuming your computer is relatively new and mid-range or better.
In my case, the clue was in the fact that not all of the program is uninstalled when you try to do a uninstall / re-install. The program likely had some sort of corrupted cache that stopped the program and that remained after an uninstall.
I unstalled it again, but after some research I came across this tool:
Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html
and this reference:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/859/cpsid_85966.html
The reference above applies to Photoshop, but the Organizer elements applies to Premiere unintalls as well.
After applying these two solutions and then re-installing, my Premiere Elements is working once again.
Had I followed the typical advice I would have spent days updating drivers, installing RAM, de-fragging and cleaning up my hard drive, listing specs to post here, etc. And none of it would have mattered a wit.
The program is still buggy though and my original problem may re-occur, I admit. I will certainly never buy another version of this POS program again, but, in the meantime, I hope I can save someone here some time in looking for a fix for their own message.

Your post count is 2 (as I write this) beginning July 17 - which indicates to me that you never asked for help in this forum (or you did so under another name)
As Steve said (and which you may not have known) this is not Adobe support, this is a place provided by Adobe for users to try and help each other

Error Message: "There was an error processing a page. A file I/O error has occurred"

Hi
I am running Windows XP on a lab top for a while. Just recently, every time I opened PDF files, I was getting an empty page. So, I installed the latest Adobe Reader. After that I started getting the error message "There was an error processing a page. A file I/O error has occurred".
Does anybody have a solution to this?
Thanks in advance.

I found my problem. My down scale quits, but quits as in not showing it's working. (I was confused too). Most all files can not be seen until fully downloaded. For whatever reason, perhaps a glitch or the new modum or video card. When downloading do not interupt as in wanting to view a page, but go to Network and Sharing Center (bottom right hand corner - click the computer running symbol) and click View Status. See Activity. If the numbers are rolling you are recieving. Waiting until it is complete. This is madding, but I've learned to live with it.
Hopes this helps.....

The document could not be saved. A file I/O error has occurred

Hello,
I have scanned PDF files varying in size from < 1,000 pages to > 5,000 pages. I seem to experience this issue on and off on various files regardless of the size. The issue is when I OCR the pdf using Adobe Acrobat X Pro, when it's completed the OCR process and I go to save it errors out with: "The document could not be saved. A file I/O error has occurred"
I have tried:
1. Saving to local hard drive
2. Saving to network drive
3. Renaming file and repeating steps 1&2
4. File/Save as and reducing (but it won't allow me to do so without saving first, lol)
Any thoughts? Thanks so much.
Phil

I keep getting "The document could not be saved. A file I/O error has occurred."

Everytime I try to save a PDF file in Reader X... "save as...PDF" I get the "The document could not be saved. A file I/O error has occurred."
When I save it "save as...Text" is saves.

No it is from a disk drive.

Adobe reader "An internal error has occurred."

Using OSX10.10.1 on Mac Air. I can not open Adobe reader. It responds with "An internal error has occurred." I have uninstalled Reader and removed to trash all files from libraries related to reader, emptied the trash and have repaired permissions using disc utilities. I have reinstalled Reader but still get the same result. I repeated the process. Then same result. What do I do now?

Can you answer the following,
1. Is this issue seen with Citrix Xenapp 5 server also ? i.e. what happens when you open up a pdf in outlook from server machine.
2. Also, how frequently is the error seen on the client machine. ?
3. What's the behavior of opening pdf file outside outlook ?

Illustrator files cannot be opened: Could not read the file because an error has occurred.

I cannot open some files from Illustrator which contain PNG files placed. When I try to open the file, I get a message saying: "this png contains addtional data for Adobe fireworks, which will be discarded upon save." When I press "ok" I get the same screen again. When I press "cancel" I get: "coulld not read the file because an error has occured". I am currently working on a Mac Mavericks. Using Illustrator cc and Fireworks CS6.

Eliana,
If you have some file corruption, one thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

Error:unknown error has occured;server returned http response code :500

Hi,
   I deployed one custom action block on 12.0 server.
   It creates a pdf doc and saves it under c:\sample on MII server.
   But when I run the action block in a trax, an error was logged: unknown error has occurred; server returned http response code :500 <server URL>
Need immediate help on this.
Thanks

Does the failure occur within the action, and if so can you identify where? It is always a good idea to put some logging at the debug level in your actions to help identify exactly where a failure is occuring.
