PDFMaker error attempting to save temporary file PdM###.tmp

Hello. This is my first post. I'm using Word 2007 and Acrobat 8. I'm trying to create a PDF with tagging turned On. Each time I do this, the computer bogs down, the process fails and I get an error reading, "Acrobat PDFMaker. An error occurred while creating a temporary file: You cannot save whiel the file is in use by another process. Try saving the file with a new name." The file name is shown in parantheses. The name varies, but it's always of the form PdM###.tmp with the ### being three numbers or two numbers and a letter or some such. I've tried this on two separate computers, and I have ended up with the same error. Any ideas?

Hi all,
{Posting this for knowledge of others}
Solved by changing access rights of /var/tmp to drwxrwxrwx from drwxrwxrwt ....
I think this might be helpful for someone facing same problem.
Thanks

  • When trying to authenticate my copy of Windows 7 I get an error code 0x80070005 before it even begins to save temporary files.

    I have a mid 2010 iMac and have already had the driver problem as in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173 when trying to install windows 7. Now, the authentication period has expired because everytime I try to upgrade it and authenticate it, it gives me the error 0x80070005 before it even begins to save temporary files. What can I do to ensure a proper install? I've purchased the student copy of windows 7 professional and I can't even get it to work correctly.

    Well, the link you gave is for the "black screen" problem, you don't seem to have that issue?
    You should put the Year/Model # of your computer and what OS your using, (10.6/10.7/XP/Vista/W7) in your description as it will help.
    The "error 0x80070005" is actually a Windows only error so you might try Microsofts support site also.
    If you are upgrading from Vista you may need to use the Apple_Win7_Upgrade_Utility first.
    If you are upgrading from XP to W7 then maybe this link will help.
    As @The hatter mentioned you might try a Yahoo/Google/Bing search for the error you get, it seemed to help the person he was helping.
    Look to the right of your post and you should see a "More Like This" window with other posts similar to yours. You should do a erase/clean install of W7 anyway as you don't actually upgrade XP, it just puts all your files in  a single folder for you to re-use not to mention you'll have a Clean OS to start with.
    You CAN do a clean install with the upgrade version also, just reinstall it twice. Basically (the easy/long way) you just (backup) erase/install W7 the first time, don't tell it to update any files yet, then just reinstall over it and let it update/Authenticate and it should work.

  • Why do I get error 'Could not create temporary file. No space left on device" when I use the Engine Installati​on Wizard in TestStand?

    The process gets to the NIVISA\SETUP.INI step, then I get this error.
    I've tried with installing the MDAC and not, and it happens both times.
    The drive I'm trying to create the file to has 7.4GB open on it, so I'm not sure why this is happening.
    Thank you,
    Dave Neumann

    Dave,
    This is documented in the KnowledBase 2D6A63VW titled: "Error: Could Not Create Temporary File, No Space Left on Device".
    As RByrd suggested, you might need to free up some memory space in your System Temp directory, OR you may change the location of your System Temp directory to one with more space (such as the directory where you want the TestStand Engine files to be saved). The Knowledbase shows how to do this step by step. This is its URL:

  • Web Service; Error attempting to read from file

    I'm trying to connect to a web service as outlined by the book "Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer" which is an excellent book by the way.
    I'm receiving the following error "Error attempting to read from file. http://www.webservicex.net/BibleWebservice.asmx"
    I've successfully created the Data Connection to
    http://www.webservicex.net/BibleWebservice.asmx?wsdl
    I dragged and dropped the bookTitle, chapter & Versie onto the form. I also dragged and dropped the GetBibleWordsByChapterAndVerseResult and the GetBibleWordsByChapterAndVerseBtn.
    I Preview PDF and click the button I get the above error.
    Does anyone have experience using Web Services with Adobe LiveCycle ES and have advice on how to resolve this. Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    -Todd

    Well, I have more news on the error I'm getting. - NO I didn't find the problem. Yet
    I checked and made sure that web.config had "None" selected " in authentication mode. I.E. <authentication mode="None" /> This should eliminate any authentication problems since that turns off IIS's authentication checking.
    At first I was thinking the form was generating the error trying to read the result coming back from the web service, but I put in some code that writes the result to a log file when the method fires off.
    I noticed that when I clicked on the button on the form, the error message would pop up from Acrobat, but when I check the log file, there was NO entry. This means that Acrobat failed before it could execute the method.
    Here is the web method:
    [WebMethod(CacheDuration = 30,
    Description="Returns the String 'True' or 'False' whether or
    not you entered a 'T' or 't'.")]
    public string TF(string Tf)
    string result="False";
    if(Tf.Substring(0,1).ToLower()=="t"){
    result= "True";}
    LogFile.Write("Sent: "+result);
    return result;

  • Photoshop CS3 is now closing when I attempt to save any file on our network.

    Photoshop CS3 is now closing when I attempt to save any file on our network.
    This has been occuring for the past few months.  I have 8 years with this not happening on this machine and this network.  I now have to save to my desktop, then move the file to the correct folder, re-open it and work from there.  Any ideas to fix this??

    Hi Andy,
    This workflow might be working for you however it is not the ideal or correct workflow.
    Please refer to below article.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/networks-removable-media-photoshop-cs5.html
    Photoshop is not supported while working with network drives. I would recommend an external or a local drive instead.

  • SpaceFM Error - Error: Unable to save session file. Permission denied

    Hi.
    I have just installed linux-rt from AUR
    https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51360
    Everything installed correctly and is working so far.
    It's just that whenever I'm with a folder open (even if I dont do anything) and click the X to close the window, this error appears:
    SpaceFM Error
    Error: Unable to save session file.
    Do you want to exit without saving?
    ( Permission denied )
    I usually click yes and nothing happens - or seems to.
    If it helps, I AM able to read, write, copy and delete files.
    The problem ( I THINK ) seems to be just aesthetics AND/OR not affecting me at the moment?
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.
    EDIT: In fact LOTS of issues just showed up...
    1- Transmission doesn't resume downloads.
    I closed it and opened again and there were no downloads and when I tried to start them again, there was an error saying: Unable to save resume file (or something close)
    2- I just logged in (at the login screen, lol) as root and ALL problems disappeared, transmission saves things again, no more SpaceFM error etc.
    Anyone has any clues what is this permissions problem ?? The whole OS is new and I didn't install anything, it wasn't supposed to be happening.

    Just stumbled on this, dunno about your other problems, but as far as your spacefm problem, go to ~/.config and sudo rm -r spacefm

  • PPT has found an error and cannot save the file in Microsoft Powerpoint2010

    I have been working in 2010 for 6 months and this is the 3rd time I have experienced this error.  I am using my own 2010- created, macro-enabled template - I want to save the file but I get an error message stating PPT
    has found an error and cannot save the file. 
    This has happened on both newly created files using this template, and files previously successfully saved.  The template has been used without error many, many times.
    I have on occassion been able to save as a 97-2003 file and then resave (with some loss of function) as a 2010 macro-enabled file, on another occassion I was not able to do this and lost some work.
    Copying into a new document didn't solve the problem. Copying into a different template didn't solve the problem.
    Any ideas what is happening, and how I can stop it happening?
    Kind regards

    Hi,
    Have you tried saving the file in *.pptm format (basically this extension is for powerpoint presentation with macros)
    Maybe try Save As and see if you can save it under a different name.
    Once you get the file closed, then reopen PPT and go to Office Button | PPT Options | Resources. Run Office Diagnostics there.
    In addition, make sure you have a local printer driver installed and set as the default printer. And it really might fix the issue.
    Here's info on what to do:http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00952.htm

  • CS4 programme error trying to save picture files!

    Hi,
    I have a frustrating error when trying to save some of my older picture files with CS4 Extended.  The ones that I am looking at are 5 years old and taken with my Canon 5D.  When I open a file and then try to save it the save option is grey and only save as is available.  When I try to save as I get the error Could not complete your request because of a programme error.
    I have been trouble shooting the problem images and see that I cannot get File Info on these images with the following error, Could not complete the File Info command because of a problem with the File Info module.  When I look at some earlier D10 pictures they operate perfectly as do my more recent 5DMkII images.  I have tried removing the Exif data from the problem files and all the problems go away so I must be something to do with this embedded data.  The problem images don't have corrupt data... it is all there and looks correct.
    I keep track of my photos with IDimager V4.
    Does anyone have a explaination or a cure for this problem as the last thing I want to do is loose my File Info for all those old picture that I still need to work on and use.
    Many thanks,
    Nick

  • I keep getting error message (cannot save as "file name" because of a program error)

    I opened a pdf in photoshop and when I need to save it back as a pdf i get this error (cannot save as "file name" because of a program error). I need to save it specifically as PDF/X-1a:2001 but the only pdf options that will work are "highest quality print" and "smallest file size". None of the others work. I'm running Photoshop CS5 on a PC laptop and I tried it on my desktop and also a mac running CS 5.5 and always get the same error. I think the problem might be with the custom color settings I have but it works fine on my work computer with the same color settings. What could be going on?

    Yes, it's probably related to your color settings in some way. Why you are doing it in the first place...? Since they are ISO standards there is simply no liberty in choosing arbitrary settings for PDF/X, especially the archicval flavors... So in conclusion you will have to make your color settings compliant. The crash itself is probably a bug in the PDF libraries and it may work at your office because there you may use a different version of Acrobat/ Adobe Reader and the associated PDF libraries which do not have this bug. Still, the initial issue remains: You need to work within the spec, not against it.

  • CS4 Flash. First attempt to save a file creates an unknown error.

    I bought CS4 when I bought my first Mac.  I started building an inventory of production software but had only used Photoshop and Adobe.  I tried to do my first Flash project today and following a tutorial, I tried to save the initial file and it errors with an unknown file error. 
    I opened and closed the file, tried different names, locations.  Then went back to Photoshop, A Illustrator and A Elements to see if they had a problem but they saved just fine. 

    You need to ask in the Flash Professional Forum

    Hi,
         so you have created the soap as sender and provided the WSDL to the other application for consuming the same right ?
    one way to do is a test from the test tab of the Runtime Work Bench and select adapter engine and there test mesage tab button
    and provided the payload along with the needed details and see whether the interface is working or not..will get you know...
    Later use some XML SPY or SOAP UI tools for testing the WSDL which going to provide for the other applications..
    if my  understanding is wrong..then provide more details of your scenario.....

  • WSDL data connection problem, error attempting to read from file...

    Hi, I got the exact same error messsage as described in this thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3136286#3136286
    I tried all the suggestions in the thread, but nothing worked.
    My process is like this:
    At the process initiator step, it uses form "A" (and Webservices calls work perfectly there),
    the initiator fills up form "A", "Complete"s it,
    and it goes to the next person, where it uses form "B",
    and Webservices calls fail to work from the form "B".
    However, when I replace form "A" with form "B",
    that is, use form "B" at the initiator step,
    the Webservices calls on form "B" work just fine.
    Any idea why this happened?
    thanks.

    I found a solution to this.  The 'DataDescription' elements in the data XML are the cause of the problem.  Apparently Acrobat/Reader is not able to handle the elements from form 'A' when loading that data into form 'B'.
    My solution was to modify my process to:
    1.) Create an xml variable (call it 'xmlData')
    2.) Create an XDP "wrapper" by setting the value of xmlData in a 'Set Value' operation.  Since my top-level form element is called 'TopLevelFormElement', my "wrapper" (the value for 'xmlData') was:
    deserialize('<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" xmlns:dd="http://ns.adobe.com/data-description/"
    xmlns:impl="http://adobe.com/idp/services" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
    xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
    <xfa:datasets>
            <xfa:data>
                <TopLevelFormElement>
                </TopLevelFormElement>
            </xfa:data>
        </xfa:datasets>
    </xdp:xdp>')
    3.) Copy the form data from the original (call it 'originalXmlData') to 'xmlData' by setting this mapping in a 'Set Value' operation:
    //process_data/xmlData//TopLevelFormElement  = /process_data/originalXmlData//TopLevelFormElement
    4.) At this point, you have a set of data (xmlData) that contains all of your form data but is free of the 'DataDescription' elements that cause problems.  Pass 'xmlData' into form 'B'.
    5.) Data should be processed as expected in form 'B', and web service calls should be operational.
