Pdf not working

I have converted a doc file to a pdf  using both works and open office, both with the same result.  It adds 30 blank pages and rearranges my pictures.  I have tried everything I can think of, even reinstalling all writting programs and adobe services, but to no avail.  Did I set one of the adobe functions wrong or is it a bug in the system?  It only started doing this after a rcent update from adobe.  (Adobe 9.1)

Hi,
This forum is concerning Acrobat.com online services. The forum for Acrobat desktop applications is http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat
Try opening Word, menu Adobe PDF > Change settings
Uncheck the option Enable accessibility and reflow option
Try converting again.
If this doesn't work, I'd recommend you post your question to the Acrobat forum mentioned above.

  • Some PDFs not working in Preview. Mac created PDFS work but windows created PDFS dont

    Some PDFs not working in Preview. I installed adobe reader and then deleted it because the software was aweful and PDFs have been haveing issues ever since. I can open up PDFs created on my Mac in preview just fine...
    But when I try and open a PDF created on a windows computer it says:
    "Please wait...

    I am not sure why where the PDF was created would make a difference but couldnt help but notice that was the difference between the PDF files that work and the ones that give that message. I can view the PDFs on a windows computer just fine and never had issues untill adobe, it seems to have messed up PDFs on my Mac and I am so frustrated with them. I have searched my computer for any remaining adobe files, deleted them and restarted my computer but I am still getting this message.

  • CS4 "Save as Adobe PDF" not working in Mountain Lion

    CS4 Save as Adobe PDF not working in Mountain Lion
    Just bought a new Mac with mountain lion, installed CS4 design premium twice trying to fix this. When you go to "print" then "Save as Adobe PDF" the process fails with a pop-up saying "An error occurred while saving the PDF file". I can still do the standard "Save as PDF" - but that usually results in a file size 10x larger than Save as Adobe PDF so it won't work for me; I need the small file sizes of Save as Adobe PDF.
    When I go to Help > Repair Acrobat Installation it seems to be recognizing a repair needed with Adobe PDF Printer (see screenshot below); but when I go through the repair nothing changes it still won't work.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    "Save As Adobe PDF" works fine in Snow Leopard.
    Thanks for the link, but this is no help - I already have "Save As Adobe PDF" on the menu - the problem is when I click that it errors out...
    I just think its sad that Adobe charges people $2000 and provides zero support for future updates; when I buy an iMac for half that amount of money or an iPhone I get operating system support and bug fix downloads to deal with the latest internet advances for years to come - but Adobe apparently takes your money and says sayonara! Is it really that hard to provide updates on $2000 worth of software for say 24 months??

  • Why is exporting to PDF not working?

    Why is exporting to PDF not working?

    Dear Claudio,
    I know it wasn't much to go on but I got your attention!
    I work for a charity and use a program called "Donor Perfect".
    It has a feature that when you generate a report it gives you the option to export to MSWord, Excel, and PDF.
    Below is the step by step description of what happens.
     After log on ......
         1. Click on Reports
         2. Listings
         3. Report Category(any)
         4. Select Record type(any)
         5. Select report options (any selection filter that fits or Build a filter) and sort order(any)
         6. Enter title (accordingly)
         7. Click on Preview
         8. When next screen opens with report visible - in "Report Print preview" line above report choose PDF icon
         9. Export to PDF window opens
         10. click on Page range-ALL
         11. What to print-All pages in Range
         12. Save as C:\DPW32\dpsumm.pdf
         13. collate
         14. number of copies(1)
         15. Click on "Screen" 
         16. Click on "Display Conversion Status"
         17. Then "OK"
         18. After conversion status reaches "100%" nothing happens -screen does not change!
    Then I minimize DP screen and I go to Start menu 
         1. Click on Start
         2. Then "My Computer"
         3. Local Disk "C"
         4. Dpw32
         5. Look for "dpsumm" file with today's date
         6. Size of file says 0 KB and that's it!!!!
    In previous versions of DP (8 and 9)
    the PDF would open on the screen as soon as the Step 18 was finished, then I could save it with an identifying name to a different folder and use it as an attachment that a Donor could receive by e-mail.
    I hope I can get back to that because now I have to convert to "Word" (Which takes a long time)then from that I have to create PDF from Acrobat. too many steps ..... if I have 20-30 reports it's too cumbersome.
    Waiting for your suggestions,

  • Adobe PDF not working in N95

    in my nokia N95 i m not able to open pdf files last 20 days i think adobe PDF not working properly i want to repair it but how i donn know? can anybody help me to get rid of this prob

    I do not think that PDF Maker has been updated for IE9 yet. IE9 is a recent release and Adobe does not generally work on the final software until the release. They also have to be sure it still works with other products. In the meantime, try just printing to the Adobe PDF printer or opening the URL in Acrobat directly.

  • Framemaker 12, Save as PDF and Print PDF Not working...

    We are using Framemaker 12 version 12.0.3.424, it tells me it is the latest patch level, and the issue we are having is that it won't either save as or print to PDF, both options are failing, they start up and then go to a certain point and come up as "not responding" and then just stops. I have managed to get a postscript file on two occasions that got 141 pages out of 1400+. I have gone through a bunch of the threads here and made sure that I have changed Adobe PDF printer to the default and deselected the box about using the specific fonts, still nothing. We are also using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard, and that is now up to the latest patch level as well. I am running out of things to try in order to get this full book put together and ready for delivery. If anyone has any additional things to try that would be great. One thing I feel might be an issue is that some of the files seem to be using a different font, "Times" vs. "Times New Roman", Frame automatically substitutes it, so was wondering if that is the issue.
    Any and all assistance will be great on this.

    Then you aren't anywhere near a 32-bit file size constraint.
    > We are running 64 bit machines here, though the program I think is the 32 bit version.
    Pretty much all CPUs are 64-bit now. What matters is the OS version, and Win7 and 8 installs are commonly 64-bit these days. FM may not even have specific 32- or 64-bit installs. I've tested FM9 on Win7/64 for file size limits, and it sails past 4GB with no problems.
    > ... stops everytime on one particular page, that has was is an OLE linked .vsd file in it.
    As if the world needed another reason to never ever use OLE for anything anywhere, esp. in Framemaker. Export that object in a stable graphical file format (PDF should work). Import that.

  • FormsCentral PDFs not working for Linux and Unix users

    I recently created a PDF (using Indesign > Acrobat IX Pro > Formscentral [AFC]) that includes radio buttons, form fields, linked videos set to play in the PDF once clicked and (after running through AFC) a submit button.
    The form has been distributed and we have already had hundreds of successful responses collected in the AFC site, all is working well there.
    One major problem we are having is that we have a lot of Linux/Unix users and the response from them is that they can't activate the videos, the form fields are out of kilter alignmentwise and the submit button does not work. Even when using the proper Adobe Acrobat Reader (v9, for example).
    Is the Adobe development team aware of problems such as these for Linux/Unix platforms and is there a suggested fix that they know of?
    The link to the actual file is here: http://cms.iopscience.iop.org/alfresco/d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/b5a48eac-8642-11e2-8cf8-e 50acbc9fd86/NJP-Video-Abstracts-Competition-2013.pdf
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jesse,
    can you email me ([email protected]) the original PDF (before you imported it in FormsCentral)? Also, I'm curious about the format of the video in the PDF. Does the video in the PDF worked in Linux/Unix before going through the FormsCentral import/export?
    When I look at your PDF on my Red Hat Entrprise Linux 6.0 system with Reader 9.5.4 it does look fine (location of the fields) but the video generate an error (which I'm still investigating). I have not yet try the submit button on your form (as I don't want to submit bad data to you) but I seem to have an issue with the submit button on other PDF forms I generated (when I try to submit from a linux machine). Still investigating that as well.

  • Save as PDF not working suddenly

    As of yesterday, unable to use the *'Save as PDF'* feature in the print dialogue.
    Clicking on Save as PDF produces no result window (file name as save location). In fact, none of the options under PDF button works, neither does the Preview button.
    Happening with all applications. No font conflicts. Permissions repaired.
    Only way to make this feature work now is by
    1. manually deselecting the default printer (Epson)
    2. manually selecting Adobe PDF 9
    3. clicking on the PDF button
    4. selecting Save as PDF select +(not Print: no file is pdf-ed or saved anywhere)+
    ~ and the original workflow is back (save dialogue box pops up, etc.)
    All of this should happen almost automatically, as before. Assume something is broken / corrupted.
    Any help would be appreciated, as I use this feature a lot.

    Reinstalled SL over current installation and updated to 10.6.1.
    'Save as PDF" still doesn't work.
    If 'Save as PDF' is an Automator workflow, here's a clue perhaps...
    In user>library>pdf services, found a workflow reading 'Save As PDF-X.workflow'. When clicked, opened up the Automator library with the following message:
    "The behavior of this workflow may have changed because of the reasons listed below.
    The workflow was saved with an older version of the action "Apply Quartz Filter to PDF Documents. Some behavior may have changed."
    Anyone?

  • Acrobat 11 Standard Office 2010 Pro Convert Word documents to PDF not working

    Adobe community,
    I can create PDF's inside Word 2010 using the Acrobat Add-in but right clicking a Word document or dragging a Word document into Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard does not work. I have updated both Acrobat 11 and Office 2010 with the latest updates available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi markl16215442,
    In order to convert word document to PDF by right-clicking or dragging the file, you must have Adobe PDF printer installed.
    For Windows, please check that Adobe PDF is set as default printer under "Start > Devices and Printers"
    While for MAC, Adobe PDF printer option is no more available and as it was removed with some changes in Apple's policy regarding virtual printers.
    So, check with your OS and then let me know.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • Captivate 5.5 PDFs not working in Acrobat 9.5.1

    After updating Adobe Acrobat to v.9.5.1, the PDF files that we create with Captivate 5.5 no longer work. Instead, only two pink rectangles without content are shown (see attached screenshot).
    The PDF files work fine in Adobe Reader X. The content is also displayed correctly when I remove the table of contents from the Captivate file, but this is not something we want to do.
    Is there a solution for this?

    Hello There,
    There is no issue as such with Captivate generated PDF opening in the reader version 9 and above. Can you please email me and I can check from my end. My mail is [email protected]
    Thanks,

  • Preview PDF not working

    I have both Actorbat 9 reader and Acrobat 9 extended
    installed , but when I upload PDF files to Acrobat.com, and try
    Preview, it asks me if I want to install Acrobat 9 to preview them.
    The button on the screen to do this does not work.

    Hello rickyhaz,
    Thanks for posting, and for working with Acrobat.com!
    The preview that Acrobat.com is able to create is file
    dependent. We're not able to create a preview for every file, and
    in the case that we aren't able to, we ask that the user download
    the file to be previewed on the local system.
    I can imagine that this is specific to a file, or a couple of
    files, and that some of the PDF's are able to be previewed. Perhaps
    one of the more simple PDF files is able to have a preview?
    We are working to improve the Preview function as we move
    forward with Acrobat.com!
    Hope this helps out,
    Thanks!

  • Exporting from Pages Mavericks to pdf not working

    I want to export my Pages Mavericks document to a pdf. It's not working. Everytime I do it, a box comes that says, it's not possible. What is going wrong? Why can't I export to pdf?

    Either some of them have the same name or they are to big in Mb for your Pages to convert. It doesn't matter where they come from, they are all in the saved document. Downsize them before you add them to the Pages document.

  • AcrobatActiveXVB SDK Sample - Links in PDF Not working

    Hi,
    I am trying to create an application in VS.net (similar to AcrobatActiveXVB SDK Sample) to display PDF files in my application.  PDF file opens fine.  But external links in PDF file are not working.  I trying to display a main index pdf file, which contains external links to 10 other PDF files.  All 10 PDF files are located in my local hard drive (main index pdf file is also located in the same folder).  If I open the main index file in Acrobat Reader then it the links are working fine.  It is not working only when it is opened inside the AcrobatActiveXVB SDK Sample.  Please help.
    Please Note: Links are not grayed.  I get the hand mouse pointer, when I mouse over to the links.
    Windows OS - XP SP3
    Acrobat Reader - Tried it with 9.1.3 & 9.3.3.  Un-installed and re-installed multiple times
    Thanks in advance.

    hello, the pdf viewer is still somewhat experimental and under very active development - you could try if the same error is occurring in the current development version, which you can download as an addon from http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/extensions/firefox/pdf.js.xpi
    in case it has the the same rendering problems, you could then file a bug report at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues (a github account is necessary for it though) - please also provide a sample document where the error is apparent!

    sharat ([email protected])

    Hi Sharat
    I see that you have two entries for helvetica font in your uifont.ali. Be aware that order of precedence is alias->embed->subset. If the helvetica part is appearing junk, try and comment out the entry in embed section and let the subsetting happen.
    On Solaris, ensure that the case of font file names match.

  • Simple Interactive PDF not working

    Once again I'm stumped. I'm attampting to create a simple slide show which animates from one image to the next with just a previous and next button. The project seems to work fine when using the preview mode within InDesign CS6 (8.0.1), but when I export the document it will not work.
    When I open the interactive PDF in Acrobat and attempt to click on the next and previous buttons, an icon appears of a Hand with a black down arrow on the hand?
    Any thoughts as to what I might be doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    Simple slideshow? How?
    My guess is you're using MSOs which are unsupported in PDF.
