PDF maker acrobat 9

Hello,
I kept running into a problem with PDFmaker until today i found somewhat of a solution, but i cant figure out why.
I work with Office files a lot, therefor i use PDFmaker to convert them to a well working PDF file.
Some files have links in the index, where you can click the pagenumber and you will de directed to that page.
When converting this to a PDF file these links will dissapear, no matter what settings. This always bothered me because i was sure this was something what used to work.
Now i found out that this still works, but only with Acrobat 8.
With the PDFmaker of Acrobat 8 you will have a special setting to include those links. In PDFmaker Acrobat 9 these settings seem to be gone.
Now my question is, am i missing something or does acrobat 9 no longer offer this function?
And if the answer is the latter, why?
Regards,
Martijn van der Graaf

I have checked and unchecked every single option in the preferences just to see what the result would be.
When comparing the preferences of PDFmaker 8 and PDFmaker 9 the differences are pretty obvious.
PDFmaker 8 will have 1 option more then PDFmaker 9. Its that option that will make the links in the index work.
I dont think posting screendumps will work, since our system is dutch and everything will be in dutch.
We have AA9.3, we always keep things updated.
Repairing Acrobat wont solve it. We only have 1 workstation with AA8 and its that station that has this option. All other AA9.x station dont.
I dont believe the option is removed completely, but probably moved to some other place to be checked or unchecked. I just dont know where..
Any more suggestions are welcome!
Regards,
Martijn van der Graaf

PDF maker, Acrobat 9.0, Excel 2007 - wrong page sizes

When I use PDF maker, or "Create PDF", with my entire excel workbook, the sheet sizes come out randomly, though they are set as 8.5X11.
I notice there have been many reported problems. Are there any current solutions?
Thanks.

Thanks for that, I have checked thwe Word Document and the 'lines' are actually Cells so it would appear that the creator has copied
in these from a spreadsheet, into a Word document and then created the PDF.
The resolution is set to 300DPI in the PDF and the lines appear when unticking the Line Weights, however, this change isn't saved, if you can advise me on how to save the document with the line weights option unticked then that would be brilliant!
Thanks for your time helping me with this!

PDF help. printing PDFs make acrobat or reader go not responding.

Whenever i try to print or go to print setup in either Acrobat or Reader it cause the program to not respond and i will have to exit the program and it will not print. But if i right-click a .pdf file (like saved on my desktop) and click print it will print just fine.... I am using Acrobat 8.2.6....i think. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

As Michael said, it is probably a conflict between the two. You may be able to uninstall Reader (assume you have Reader 9) and repair Acrobat. Uninstalling one will usually break the other and the repair should fix it.

PDF Maker Acrobat 8.1 unavailable in Office 2007, despite Acrobat Help article

I've already tried all of the steps in Acrobat's article about this problem (1. Enabled the PDFMaker Add-In via Word Options; 2. Manually registered the COM add-in file; 3. Verified that the COM Add-In is selected; 4. Repaired the Acrobat installation; 5. Re-installed Acrobat in a simplified mode.) The COM Add-In appears and is checked in Word Options and Excel Options. I've also re-installed Office. Acrobat STILL doesn't appear on the menu for Word, Excel, etc.
Does anyone have another trick?

Your reply inspired a thought that has, in fact, solved my problem. My original installation disks are for v8.0, and so when I followed Adobe's instructions and re-installed, I eliminated all of the 8.1 updates. Interestingly, when I used Acrobat's Help Menu to check for updates it said that none were available. Last night I manually installed all the updates (v8.1.1 through 8.1.7) manually and the PDFMaker reappeared in the Office applications. Thank you for replying so promptly - I always appreciate the community's help.

Acrobat 8 and 9 PDF maker

Hello all,
We have noticed some differences between results from each version of PDF maker. I cant figure out if its just the way it should work or its something you can change in the wide range of settings
PDF maker Acrobat 8 (from a WORD file) : Most transparancies will come out ok, but still some will go wrong. Bookmarks will be included
PDF maker Acrobat 9 (from a WORD file) : Nearly all transparancies will come out good, but the big reason is that now almost all illustrations will be a single compressed image instead of a sharp vectored one. Also the bookmarks from (for example) the index will be lost in the PDF file.
So my biggest questions are:
Why in Acrobat 9 are images compressed and flattened instead of vectored?
Why wont the bookmarks be included?
We are quite experienced with the software here but up untill now we are not able to figure this out.
If anyone has some inside on this please share!
Regards,
Martijn

I had the slow scrolling problem, too. Just occurred out the blue on December 15, 2010. Here's the simplest solution:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7d1b. w.html
This link deals with the auto scrolling function under "View" at the top of your Adobe Reader page. Basically, with your Adobe document open and watching "auto scrolling" (i.e. your pages scrolling very slowly), hit a number (1-9) to adjust the speed of scrolling. I picked 5.
Then, go to "View" again and select "Auto Scrolling" to turn off this function.
Now, re-open your Adobe Reader document (if closed) and you should be able to scroll at a "normal" and not slow pace.
Hope I'm right with this one.
Happy Holidays.

Word, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and PDF Maker

I am still using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and I also have Office 2010 installed on my Windows 7 laptop. Is there a way to get PDF Maker to work in Office? Right now when I open Word for example the PDF tab does not appear anywhere. I tried running the repair feature in Acrobat but nothing has changed.
I believe Office needs to be installed first then Acrobat so PDF Maker can be installed. I did this intially when I had Office 2007 but then I unintalled it and installed Office 2010 and I'm guessing that is why things aren't working. Am I going to need to reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro Extended?

How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the
"Combine Supported Files in Acrobat" window would open in the
foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.
Michael Jones

Something that works (provides Acrobat the application precedence in the OS that is requisite for this) --
Minimize the 10 or so application windows before engaging use of Acrobat's "combine".
That'll let the Acrobat dialog windows display front and center.
Be well...

How do I make Acrobat 9 Pro my default pdf app?

I used to have this set until an upgrade of the OS or ... when I installed Acrobat 9 Pro??
I am still running OS 10.5.8, though will upgrade to SL soon.
Anyway, I can't figure out how to make Acrobat my default instead of Preview when I:
1) open a pdf file on the web, or
2) double click on a generic pdf (such as one sent as an email attachment), or
3) export to Acrobat from Apple's Pages
Any suggestions would be REALLY appreciated!
Thanks

Acrobat 6.0 Pro PDF Maker & CutePDF

Hi there,
I have Acrobat 6.0 Professional installed on my computer (Windows XP). I recently had CutePDF installed on my system as well. Since this, my Acrobat PDF Maker will not create a PDF (from Excel 2002) as it used to. It freezes up part way through the conversion.
Any way to get Acrobat to make me PDFs without removing CutePDF?
Thanks!

You need to go through and see where the bottleneck is. It may be simplest to do a repair in the control panel.
If you want to check, start by printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that does not work, try a print to file and then open the file in Distiller. If the 2 part process works, then you likely have a problem with AcroTray not running. Simply be sure it is in your startup menu. You can also simply start it from the Distiller folder.

Acrobat 7 Professional - PDF Maker

I encounter a problem trying to create a PDF from file option in Acrobat, choosing a Word document. It will begin to process the Word document, but then dissappear - no visible dialog within the Acrobat application window. The same thing will happen in the 'from multiple files' option. It will build from a Excel file and from some small Word documents. It will build a from within the Word application. Anyone have an answer why it does not work in Acrobat?
Environment: Windows XP SP3; Acrobat 7.1.0 Pro; MS Office 2003 Pro

Sorry, but I still do not see any comment in your original post that it worked directly from WORD and failed in Acrobat. You say some small files work fine from Acrobat. For the larger files that fail, do they succeed if you print from WORD. If the print works, do they work form WORD if you use PDF Maker? I have asked about specific processes of creating the PDF and you have only said it works from WORD. How did you create the file from WORD -- print or PDF Maker?

Acrobat XI PDF maker files missing

Have just installed XI. I run Win7 and 32bit Office 2010. PDF export ribbon in showing in word and you can create pdf from this.
The problem arises if you use the right click 'create pdf' function. More importantly, when using the merge multiple files to PDF function. In both cases it works ok with excel but fails on word (in the case of the merge multiple file function all other types f file go in but the word file fails)
I get he message 'PDF maker files missing'. It suggests a repair that I have tried but that doesn't help.
I have checked the COM add in isn't disabled. It's not.
Just can't get this working. Help!!!

Is it that none of the right click options are not working (Create PDF, Create PDF and Email or Combine only)?
Try converting the word file by dragging and dropping the file to Acrobat interface/icon.
Are you able to convert the word document to PDF from Acrobat Ribbon (Acrobat-> Create PDF) from within the word application?
Is the issue with a particular word file or happening with all the word files?

Bookmarks created for elements not selected in Acrobat PDF Maker

I recently upgraded to Windows (7 64-bit) and Word 2007 (SP2 MSO). I am using Acrobat 9 Pro (9.3.3) to convert a Word document to PDF. The bookmarks created in the PDF document are for all Word Heading styles (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5). However, on the Bookmarks tab of the Adobe PDF Maker, I only selected 3 heading styles (H1, H2, H3) for bookmarks. I did not have this problem using Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro 9.
I searched this forum and I have found reports of similar issues, but no resolution. I also found a thread back in 2009 where a response suggested this is a bug and provided a link to report it. I have not found any information confirming this is a known issue and if there is a resolution in the works.
Are there settings in MS Word I need to consider? I've looked at all of the conversion settings in Adobe PDF Maker and nothing seems obvious.
Please help!

Can you print to the Adobe PDF printer? Does the PDF Maker menu show up in WORD or other OFFICE product?

Acrobat X Standard PDF Maker don't work on Outlook 2013

I upgrade to M.O. 2013 and the PDF Maker on Outlook stops working. I'm using the Acrobat X standard latest version on Win.8 Pro 64bit. Somebody knows how to enable this again? Thanks.

Acrobat X PDF Maker is not compatible with Microsoft Office 2013. Please refer to following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
You need to upgrade to Acrobat 11.0.1 to get this feature.

PDF Maker icons ("Acrobat (8 Pro) ribbon") missing Outlook 2007 Win XP

Hi. I have Acrobat 8 Pro and Outlook 2007 (not Outlook Express) on Win XP patched current, and the PDF Maker icons ("Acrobat ribbon") is missing from my Outlook Mail window.
Acrobat Create PDF is in the Menu in Word 2007 and works fine there.
I have followed all the instructions in
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403561.html
and all in
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401734.html
except Acrobat Repair or re-installing Acrobat (or Registry edit which is clearly not called for as the dll is already Active), and still no joy. I have verified that PDFMOutlook.dll is in the Active list in Trust Center (and of course therefore it is not disabled) in my Outlook. Still, it fails to appear in my drop-list of Toolbars, therefore I cannot fix the problem myself because the standard answer (choose that Toolbar) is not available on my workstation.
====> Do you recommend un-installing and re-installing? If yes, are you saying there is no risk I will make matters worse? Is there instead some way for me to determine what is actually wrong?
Thanks for any help.
Jim

Tried from another computer with XP and 8 Pro still didn't work so tried from a Win7 machine with adobe X standard and it worked everytime. Just ordered the upgrade because their time is more valuable than the cost.
Thanks
