PDF Maker Crashing WORD

I am asking a question for a change and have not been able to find the search to look for past answers. Anyway, I have a WORD file (269 pages and 23MB) on which I have tried using PDF Maker in WORD 2007 (and 2010). First, using all the variations of AA (8 and above) that I have for 2007, the Adobe PDF printer has worked fine. However, only AA8 has worked for the file with WORD 2007. With 2007 and AA9.52 and the newest AA and WORD 2010, WORD crashes when page 62 is reached. My student has the same problem. I have clipped pages around p. 62 to a new PDF and now the crash appears at p. 3 (I did this to be sure it was not a file size issue, though I still had emptied the TEMP folder).
Apparently something in the DOC (not DOCX) file is causing an issue. Any suggestions of what to look for?
In the meantime, I will try to delete portions to see if I can find the problem. However, after a while WORD puts PDF Maker in the bad guys location and I have to fish that out to reactivate it. Yes I know that I am finally on the receiving end of the problem rather than trying to suggest solutions. I suspect I will be able to track it down as to the cause, but thought someone might have an idea to speed up the process since I can't seem to search for a solution (pointing me there would be nice also). At least we can use the printer and so this is not a do or die situation.

I traced the problem down to a bitmap. When I tried to clip the bitmap, I got a message in Irfanview (graphics package) that the image could not be converted. When I chose edit drawing, I was able to clip the bitmap out and back into the document. Then PDF Maker was used with no problem after this copy process. The issue is really trying to trace down to the bad image or font (in this case an image), copy it and then reinsert the image. Was then able to apply PDF Maker.

  • PDF Maker crashing Outlook 2013 in Windows 8.1

    I have:
    Windows 8.1 64-bit
    Outlook 2013 64-bit
    Adobe Acrobat XI Standard, 11.0.06
    This is what I do:
    Start Outlook. Outllok crashes: Displays popup window saying "Microsoft Outlook has stopped working". The only option is "Close program" I click which closes the popup window. Outlook did not start at all.
    I start Outlook a second time. This time Outlook starts but has a yellow bar at the top that says, "ADD-IN PROBLEM". I click to view Disabled Add-Ins. PDF Maker Office COM Add-in is disabled. I click to enable.
    I close Outlook. Then I start Outlook again. Outlook crashes as before. The second time has PDF Maker disabled as before, etc.
    Looks like Adobe PDF Maker crashes Outlook 2013.

    I'm surprised that nobody from Adobe replied. I guess Adobe does not care if users are having problems using their software.
    In any case, I found that if you right-click on Outlook, then run Outlook in administrator mode, Outlook starts up, and PDF Maker does not crash Outlook. So I guess that means that if you want the extra protection of not running Outlook in Administrator mode, then you cannot use Adobe Acrobat.
    I like Adobe Acrobat. So, this leaves me in a quandry. I tried other PDF makers and editors. I like Adobe Acrobat the best. I remember Nuance's PDF software was so buggy. As far as I can tell, Adobe Acrobat has only one bug, and that bug is only in the PDF Maker part. Everything else Adobe has been working. But I also don't want to give up the protection by having to run Outlook in Administrator Mode.

  • PDF Maker - Converting Word 2010 headlines to PDF Bookmarks

    Hi Guys,
    I'm facing some issues within my organization using the Adobe Acrobat PDF Maker for Word 2010.
    Since version 10.1.1 it seems that the bookmark creation tool malfunctions .
    I'm trying to produce a PDF bookmarks based on word 2010 headlines , when I'm comparing version 10.1.1 output to 10.1.2,10.1.3,10.1.4 and even 11 outputs I can notice a variety of changes although all my settings are identical .
    Is there any known issue regarding this problem ?
    As for now  - I cannot upgrade any of my users to any version higher than 10.1.1.
    Should I report a new bug ?
    Any help will be really appreciated .
    Thanks !

    No I was referring to the post that started this thread:

    Sound like appearanced order is changed between the different versions. He saying if you set up Bookmarks in one version it should look the same in all versions. Apparently the organization (Business) he belongs to, each station have different version of Acrobat.
    The best answer would be have evenone update or upgrade to the same version.

  • PDF-maker causing Word runtime error crash since Acrobat update

    Acrobat X updated last week, and the first time I used it it asked me whether to enable the PDF-maker plugin/add-on. I said yes, and ever since, about every second time I open Word I get a runtime error and it crashes. The Acrobat toolbar is not available at this point in Word (2003), and I can't find anywhere to disable the PDF-maker plugin in either Word or Acrobat. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • Send Email Using PDF Maker for Word 2007

    I am using Word 2007 with the Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM add-in. When I try to Mail Merge to a PDF, I get an error message that says "Acrobat PDFMaker was not able to mail merge the document." I click OK, and a new box says "Run-time error '5825'". Any ideas?

    Re: PDF Maker Mail Merge error
    I've had this same problem with one word document and I think I figured out what is going on, at least in my case. I'm using Word 2003. I tried a test of one merge record, and it worked, but when I tried to complete the entire merge, it failed. After trying several times to no avail, I noticed that the first word in my document had the red spell check underline, even though the word was not spelled wrong. When I placed my mouse cursor in front of the first letter of the word, the font information said "ZWAdobeF" and the size was 1. After I deleted this and tried the merge to e-mail through the Adobe plugin, it worked flawlessly. After the merge was completed however, that font reappeared in front of the first word in my document.
    I hope this helps some people out there.
    Also, I'm using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, Windows XP SP3.

    BizGuru,
    Somethings to consider.
    --| In Windows - the OS needs a goodly space for 'elbow room' - you don't want to have HDD free space drop below something like 15%.
       Say your HDD is 600GB, 60GB free space is leaving you 10%...
    -| RAM - May not be enough; more is better <g>.
    --| Virtual Memory - if in Windows, open up Task Manager. Look at all the "stuff" there. Most is not required by the OS.
        Most of the listing is "stuff" associated with a full cart of processes associated with things you may not need or use but they suck up resources.
    --| Graphics - Processing images into PDF can be resource intensive. Having a dedicated graphics card with enough ram makes a difference.
    Be well...

  • Create PDF from a Word document within Acrobat

    Hi!
    I am having trouble to create a PDF from a Word document within Acrobat itself, and not by using PDF Maker in Word. When I try to create a PDF using Acrobat, it gives me the choice to choose any Office format file, but Word format doesn't appear. I can convert from an Excel document or a PowerPoint document, but not from a Word document, even if Word 2010 is installed and works perferctly. Why?
    I know I can make a PDF in Word itself by printing to the Adobe PDF printer or by using PDF Maker, but I want to resolve the issue in Acrobat that prevents me to select a Word document in the Create PDF dialog window. You can see the dialog box in the screenshot attached.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    I am using Acrobat X version 10.1.8 on Windows 7 Home Premium and I have Office 2010 installed (with Word 2010).

    Thanks for your reply. PDF Maker works in all of my Office applications. However, in Acrobat, the file formats available for me to create PDF from figure all the Office file formats except the one for Word. This is not normal. At my school, Acrobat X and Office 2007 are installed, and I can use there both PDF Maker in Word and creating PDF from Word document within Acrobat.
    So I think maybe there's a key in my Windows registry that is not set correctly? or something like that. I repaired the installation of Office 2010, and I did so for Acrobat X too, but it doesn't help. Any idea of how I can resolve that?

  • PDF Maker producing invisible text

    When I use PDF Maker in Word 2003 SP3 on Windows XP SP3, some of the text in my headers and footers is rendered invisibly. It's still there in the PDF, becasue I can select it in Acrobat 7.0 Professional and even cut it to the clipboard. It's just invisible.
    Curiously, not all header and footer text is affected. For example, left-hand page headers appear normally, right-hand headers are invisible.
    If I print to Adobe PDF, rather than using PDF Maker, the headers and footers are fine.
    This has only started happening recently. A few weeks ago, I had no problems.
    Any ideas?

    If you really have just 7.0, then try an update (download the updates from Adobe.com > downloads > updates). Be sure to install the updates in order. The last time I thought that the font issue was big was with AA5.0, but maybe it is still and issue.

    forumnotifier

    OK I will try to elaborate this time with pictures so it is clear what I am asking and what the issue I am facing is.
    The specific option I want to be able to use from within the Adobe Acrobat Pro user interface is
    File\Create\Batch Create Multiple Files
    When I select that menu item a floating tool bar thing pops up that I can drag and drop files onto.
    If I drag excel or powerpoint documents onto it and press OK it converts them fine.  If I drag MS word documents into it the documents appear in the list but when I click OK it says no files processed.
    In the process of troubleshooting I also tried using the Add Files button.  That is when I discovered that MS word documents (*.doc, *.docx) are not showing up in the list of supported file types.
    The same thing happens when I try converting a single file using the File\Create\Create PDF From File menu item. Just like above the MS word documents do not show up in the list of supported file types.
    Looking in my registry entries as suggested by the article linked to by one of the posters above I can see both *.doc and *.docx types registered in the correct place.
    Unless I can use the batch convert command as intended by the time my trial period runs out in 13 days I cannot justify buying this software. If converting the documents one at a time was acceptable I would just use Save As PDF from within MS Word which works just fine. I need the batch convert function so I can convert my whole library of word documents to PDF at once.
    Any further assistance greatly appreciated!

  • Error message: Missing PDF maker files in Word 2007

    OK, I am beyond frustrated. I have had nothing but trouble with Windows Vista and Adobe Acrobat. Please help!!!
    What happens: first, the pdf addin for Word 2007 suddenly becomes disabled, for no apparent reason. Forget about trying to re-enable it through the Add-Ins menu, because Word tells me that the "connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed". This is a problem for me, because I use a special font (Vietnamese) that sometimes gets corrupted when running pdf maker. The only consistent way I have found to avoid this problem is to run the pdf maker as "Quick PDF" and as far as I can see that option is only available through the pdf addin in Word, I have never been able to find it when I open the Acrobat program and create a pdf from there.
    Second problem: shortly after the pdf addin becomes disabled, my Acrobat program loses the ability to create pdfs altogether. I get the error message "Missing PDF maker files". Yes, I have tried repairing the installation and re-starting my computer per the instructions given. It doesn't fix the problem. I also tried looking in the Knowledge Database on this website, but it appears that the instructions they have to fix the problem there are for earlier versions of Word, not 2007, because my version of word does not look like the version of Word in their little videos.
    This is the second time this has happened. The first time I resolved the problem by a) re-installing Acrobat, which is a pain because it involves calling Adobe and wading through their customer service to get a new installation number, and b) paying a computer repair service to dig deep into the guts of my computer and convince it to change the Office Add-ins to allow the pdf addin again. It worked for about 6 months, and now I have the same problem again. For some reason Vista is spontaneously disabling Acrobat.
    I simply cannot deal with this every few months. We all know that Vista is a crappy program, but I run a business and I need a program that works with whatever crappy program Microsoft puts out. Please, can anyone give me suggestions about how to re-enable these functions when Vista disables them?
    Thanks in advance!

  • 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?

    Acrobat 9.x is not compatible with MS Office 2010

  • PDF maker issue in Leopard and Word 2004

    I just upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5.8, Acrobat Pro 8.1.6, Word 2004 (11.3.8). When using Word in 10.4, the PDF Maker toolbar worked fine. Now in Leopard, using the PDF Maker button, I get an error that the printer is not present. But it is there and I can print to Acrobat printer fro the print menu of any app. I tried repair acrobat installation from the Acrobat help menu. But that keeps telling me I have Safari or a Microsoft app open when all are closed.
    Thoughts?

    Repair the printer subsystem not needed/done in Leopard according to other sources.
    I tried:
    Start-up in safe mode
    new test account with no login items
    repair permissions
    maintenance tasks
    still, I get the message from Acrobat that I need to quit MS or Safari apps.
    Very strange!
