PDF - Printing in OSX 10.5.4 Can't create PDF/X-3 document

This random error is not really causing me some trouble! - If anyone has information as to how to fix this, please let me know.
When I select print to PDF/X in the OS X drop down menu, everything works fine until I get an ALERT: "Couldn't create PDF/x-3 document. "
I use PDF/X all the time as it's best for printing magazine ads that I have to design for my company.
This feature used to work fine on my Mac. - Nothing has changed to cause this.
this is what I've tried:
I've created another User account and switched over - still I get the couldn't create PDF/X error.
Thanks

Can't create PDF files with adobe acrobat professional 8 on windows 7

I running acrobat Professional 8 on Windows 7 64bit. I can only create PDF files while logged on as administrator. I tried adding the user to the Administrators group, but still have the same problem. The system hangs right after adobe promts me for the file name, I provide the file name click save and it hangs when displaying the "printing message'
Any ideas?
Thanks
Fernando

Acrobat Pro 8 is not compatible with Win 7---especially for creating pdfs.

Can't create PDFs from Word due to Cambria font. Help.

I'm using win 7 32 bit office 2010 acrobat pro 9. I can't create pdfs from word because of problems with cambria. I've ttried all the fixes I can find but none worked. Any more ideas?
[thread title updated by moderator]

How are you trying to create the PDF? With AA9 you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the MS plugin.
When you say you cannot create PDFs because of Cambria, what error messages are you getting and copy them here? At this point we really do not know what you are having problems with or how you are trying to create PDFs.
In the future, please provide a topic to help folks that are stepping through all of the posts. A blank topic almost led me to simply skip your post.

Can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word?

Downloaded the 8.1.4 update and now I can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word. If I try to create a PDF from the print menu, I get a message indicating that there are no print drivers for this...any ideas?

Thanks for responding. Yep, I tried repairing it...no dice. Then I realized that I'd re-installed AA Pro 8 (having completely given up on the AA Pro 9 upgrade that crashed my system) but not the updates. So I went through and re-installed each update. Still no dice. Then I did another repair. Nope. When I try to create a PDF via the print menu, I get a "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup." This tells me that I have driver problem. But everything else prints fine, and I'm pretty sure Acrobat doesn't have drivers. I'm stumped...

Can not create PDF files 8

Removed PhotoShop 5 and a few other programs the other day to create more room. Now I can't create PDF files anymore in Excel and AutoCad. When I try, it outputs to my note pad with the following:
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: setdistillerparams; ErrorInfo: CalCMYKProfile U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
Error accessing color profile: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Any sugestions.
I'm useing Acrobat 8 Standard with Windows XP
Thanks
Steve

If the repair does not do the job, then try a different job settings in the printing process. The error you are getting comes from the Distiller step of the PDF creation. You can go in steps if you wish by trying to print to file. Then opening that file in Distiller to see that happens.

Can't create PDF from MS word 2007 Doc

I am using CS3 Acrobat Pro 8.2 and I can't get a Word doc to PDF. It starts but then just stops at about 10%. I have tried importing from Acrobat and just get an error message stating "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
Anyone have any ideas as to what may be the problem?

Bill, when using Word or any other MS office app, the process begins the conversion then just stops about 10-15% of the way and the process window disappears. No error message, nothing. It just stops. Now, I can save items as a "Quick and Simple PDF" but not as a "Fully functional PDF" when saving from Word. So I have narrowed it down that far. The screen shot below was created in Word and saved as a Quick and Simple PDF from Word.
When trying to use the Create PDF function from AA, I get an unexpected error message.

Why i can't create PDF with right format by LiveCycle?

Hello,
As we know that PDF format has four sections, the header, object body, cross-reference table and trailer.
But after I create a PDF by Adobe LiveCycle, and open it by UltraEdit or Notepad, I cannot find the cross-reference table and some objects, “trailer” word either .
I try to download several PDF files by follow link:
https://my.adobeconnect.com/_a295153/p10077996/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=norm al ,
and open them as the same way as before, it was the normal format I learn.
So, why my PDF is not the right format? And how can I create PDF with right format?
Thank you a lot!
Ellie

Adobe LiveCycle Designer makes XFA forms - a thin PDF wrapper around XML, no useful PDF page objects. Still, they are valid PDF. Like any PDF, you might not find a trailer or xref if a cross reference stream is used. See ISO 3200-1 7.5.8 "Cross-Reference Streams".

Acro8pro/Win XP - can't create pdfs any more - says product not activated - then installs but cycle repeats

I have tried reinstalling product, but this doesn't fix problem

What "exactly" do you mean by "...can't create PDFs any more"? If the product says it's not Activate have you launched Acrobat yet?

Receiving error message every time I try to create a pdf. "An unexpected error occurred. Unable to create .pdf"

I just downloaded the program to a new laptop. I "repaired, uninstalled, installed" and am still getting the error.

How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?

How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?
I try this:
tell application "Numbers"
make new document with properties {template name:"blank"}
end tell
But don't work.
Where can I find documentation about it?
Thanks

If you try to invent your own syntax, you are starting on very wrong basis.
The required syntax is defined by the Numbers AppleScript's dictionary.
This one doesn't know what is a template.
This is why, in the link posted by badunit, I use an other scheme to create a new document.
I know that it's awful but it's the only one available at this time.

Hi,
If you want to add fields to a list, as you have written your form in JavaScript, you can take consideration of using JavaScript Client Object Model to add/delete fields dynamically.

If you want to achieve it with Form7, it is recommended to post the question to its forum to get quick and confirmed answer.

Problems create PDF Printer in OSX

With Acrobat 9 I have one PDF Printer, but with Acrobat X I don't know how I can do it. I need help.

The method for creating PDFs using the Print command changed in Mac OS v10.6 Snow Leopard with Acrobat 9.1 and later. The following procedure describes the method in both Snow Leopard and earlier versions of Mac OS X.
Open the file in its authoring application, and choose File > Print.
Choose Save As Adobe PDF from the PDF menu at the bottom of the dialog box.
For Adobe PDF Settings, choose one of the default settings, or customize the settings using Distiller. Any custom settings that you have defined are listed. For most users, the default Adobe PDF conversion settings are adequate.
For After PDF Creation, specify whether to open the PDF.
Click Continue.
Select a name and location for your PDF, and click Save.
This information was taken from the Acrobat Help documentation at Create a PDF using the Print command (Mac OS X).

Here's the log from Distiller when I open Distiller and then open a .doc for printing.

I have Adobe CS3 Master Collection installed.
I installed a CS4 beta (Fireworks) and at that point became unable to print (create PDFs). I can do other things with Acrobat Pro (combine files, etc).
I've uninstalled CS4, used the CS4 cleaner script after installation and uninstalled the entire Master Collection CS3 and reinstalled CS3. The rest of the suite works fine. Adobe PDF 8.0 did not reappear in my printer list.
I added the PDF printer and here are the settings:
Status: Stopped
Print Server: Local
Driver Version: 10.4
Default: Yes
URI: pdf800://distiller
PPD: Adobe PDF 3016.102
PPD File Version: 1.1
PostScript Version: (3016.102) 0
I'd appreciate any help!!!!
Thanks,
Julie

I haven't moved up to OSX 10.5 yet, but I was wondering if you can do what I do in 10.4
In the Print Dialog window in the bottom left is a PDF button. Click on that and you have the option "Save PDF as Postscript". And then drop your postscript file onto Distiller.
