PDFMaker unable to make PDF (8.1.2 Professional)

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance. Acrobat has been working fine until a couple of days ago, now every time I try to make a pdf I get this message: "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF." I have uninstalled it and re-installed it twice and it still will not produce a PDF. Is there a windows update that causes an issue or is it just Adobe?
Erik

Hi everyone
I am having the same problem as all users above. I am running MS office 2003 on Windows Vista. It was working fine until a few weeks ago. I've re installed Acrobat 8.1.3 and it didn't work. I've installed Acrobat pro 9 and I got all messages users already mentioned, I've tried to re-install adobe acrobat and applied all suggestions (Bill and Steve). This time the message was "Adobe PDF printer failed to create the PDF file" so I still can not get the PDF format of any word, excel, power point or publisher document. However, I didn't have any problems with outlook and it works perfectly.
As I said, a few weeks ago I haven't have any problem with Adobe pdfmaker but it seams that we all got same problems at pretty much the same time so what else to think but that some windows updates conflict with the Adobe acrobat. I really hope that someone will come up with some solution soon, this is so frustrating.
Cheers
Jessica

Adobe Acrobat 9 can't make pdf files in 2003 Word

Hello, Can you help me?
I purchased Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro four years ago when I went onto Windows 7 as I needed the 64 bit version. Prior to this I had Adobe Acrobat 7.
Recently I have been unable to make PDF files in Word although it is working in all the other Word applications and through the HP scanner.
It also won’t make PDF files through the Adobe programme and comes up with the message “Missing PDF files”and the repair command fails to save the problem.
I am using Word 2003 but prior to now the programme has worked without a problem.
Can you tell me how to solve the problem as I need the facility as I manage numerous websites for different charities.
My serial number is 1118-1780-5717-0649-5947-1289 and I am reluctant to unload the programme incase I can’t reload it.
I have tried to load Acrobat 7 onto my laptop which still has Windows Vista on it. The serial number for this is 1016-1284-2194-6099-0208-1387 but it refuses to activate this. Can you advise me on this ?
I am desperate..
Many thanks, Sheila

Unable to associate PDF files to Acrobat Standard 7 after latest reader 9 patch

I am unable to
make PDF files open as Acrobat standard 7 as my default PDF viewer. I have tried to right click open with, more, browse to acrobat standard 7 folder, coose acrobat program, then open. The acorbat standard 7 program never gets listed in the other programs list. I have also deleted the pdf file type extension and browsed over to Acrobat standard 7 folder and chose program and it still opens in Reader 9. The one bright sopt in all this is I still have the right click open with Acrobat Standard 7 listed.
My users want to just open PDF attachments from outlook without having to save the PDF's first to thier hard drive, open with acrobat standard 7, then save them again, then reattach to to email and foward on with approval stamp. This is on at least 2 machines, an Xp and Vista machine.

OK Here is my fix.
I reran the Acrobat Standard 7 install from control panel and chose to "Repair" the installation. After rebooting I could just double click on a PDF and it opens up in Acrobat Standard 7.

Unable to edit PDF created by Word 2011 on Lion.

Two weeks ago I upgrade my 24-inch iMac from Snow Leopard to Lion on which I am running Adone Acrobat 9 Pro (with all the latest updates).
My challenge is that I am trying to edit a PDF file created using Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac. When I print the file from Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac and click on the PDF button, the only option I see to create a PDF file is "Save as PDF", so this is the only option open to me. (I seem to recall that there used to be a 'Save as Adobe PDF' optionm, that is no longer there.
When I open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro I get the folloiwng message:
"Acrobat was unable tp make this
document accessible because of the
following error:
Bad PDF; error in processing fonts.
<unsupported Type 2 font>[1]
Please not that some pages of this
document may have been changed.
Because of this failure, you are advised to
not save these changes."
Any thoughts as to how I can create a file using Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac and then be able to edit it in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

Steve,
Might M. Kazlow's announcement be relevant?

Unable to open pdf files in Safari 5.1

Last night I installed Safari 5.1 on my MBP running 10.6.8 and am now unable to view pdf files from Google searches. Clicking on a pdf in Google the window does dark, there is a QuickTime icon and the page seems to download. When it finishes, the QT icon is replaced by the front page of the document but I am unable to scroll down to see more. In some instances the QT icon disappears and nothing loads.
Any ideas?

I visited a "genius" in the Apple Store, Leicester, this morning. After some playing around he seems to have sorted it. Apparently - now they tell me! - you don't need Adobe Reader on Macs as the Mac has its own pdf reader built-in. Safari 5.1 is now clashing with Reader and the best approach is to remove Reader - and the relevent preference files. I took one of my MBPs into the store and am just checking it out to see if everything is now ok. I'm now planning to make the changes on my other machine and will report back. (The genius said that my best approach was to bring in the second MBP but I'm not very convenient to Leicester so I'm going to give it whirl myself.)
Wish me luck.
But why did we load Reader in the first place? Are we that unusual in the Mac community? Surely, others must have done the same and are having the same problem with Safari 5.1???

Unable to view pdf files in IE 11.

Unable to view PDF files in IE 11, Winows 7. Works fine in Google Chrome on same pc. Everything is up todate.

See the solution at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529
However, that Fix-it won't work on Windows 7; you will need to make the registry change manually. Download, unzip, then run the attached registry script to change that registry value.

Unable to attach PDF to email (Outlook for Mac 2011)

We are pushing out software upgrades for CS5 and MS Office 2011 for Mac. We've discoverd that we can't use the Attach to email feature in Acrobat. The spinning rainbow wheel pops up for about a minute, and then Acrobat is non-responsive and we have to force quit. We can still drag and drop an attachment so we have a viable workaround but obviously we'd like to be able to use the automated feature.
All software is up-to-date.
In the preferences panel of Outlook, we have selected Outlook to be the default mail application.
As a sidenote, this feature doesn't work with Acobat X beta either. However, in the beta version of Acrobat X, if we declare Apple's mail application to be the default, it works fine. Unfortunately we use the Office suite as part of our enterprise system, so that's what we need to work with.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've logged a ticket with Adobe but I haven't heard back from them yet.
Thanks for any advise.

Take the bhama way
figured out how to make it work. I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (mac)
and MS Outlook for Mac 2011.
For those who are interested, this is what I did:
1. Create a folder on desktop to save your pdf¹s files you want to email
to. Mine is named, "PDF to Email"
2. Open Automator, create a "Folder Action"
3. At the top, "Choose Folder", choose your newly created folder on the
desktop
4. Choose the "Rename Finder Items" action from the action list. I chose,
"Don¹t Add" on the add a Copy Finder Items Action menu.
5. On the "Add Date or Time to Finder Item Names" I chose, "Name Single
Item" from the first drop down menu.
6. Click on "Options" at the bottom of that window to select the "Show
this action when the workflow runs" so you can rename your file
something other than the Acrobat default.
7. Choose the "Create New Outlook Mail Message" from the action list and
add it below the "Name Single Item in Finder Item Names"
8. Choose "File>Save As" and give your file a name. Mine is, "PDF to
Email".
9. Close Automator
10. Open Acrobat X Pro.
11. Go to "File>Action Wizard>Create New Action"
12. Here you choose, "Save to>A Folder on my computer"
13. Choose the folder on the desktop that we saved earlier
14. Save the file, with the action name you will remember.
Now when you are in Acrobat X Pro and you want to send that .pdf file via
Outlook for Mac 2011, follow the steps below.
With the file you want to email open, go to "File>Action Wizard>(Action
you created) Mine is "PDF to Email". It will take a few seconds, but you
will get an "Action Completed". You will get a pop up that allows you to
name/rename the file. Then it should open your Outlook with your .pdf
attached and ready for sending.
You might need to tweak the actions to suit your needs, but this should
work for you.

UNABLE TO OPEN PDF ATTACHMENTS IN E-MAIL

Over the past week,I have been unable to open PDF attachments in my AOL webmail. I encounter no problems with my Outlook Express e-mail. Why is this suddenly happening and how can I correct the problem?

To make sure that Adobe Reader is default,
goto Edit->Preferences->Select default PDF Handler. Check the value in the dropdown list "Select Adobe product". If the first value which appears is 'Adobe ReaderX', then Reader X is the default PDF Handler.
Also please let me know the OS you are using.
Is the problem also faced in AOL webmail with any other Adobe Product(like Acrobat X, Reader 9 etc.) if you are using/used any of them?
Thanks,
Shakti

Unable to make microphone to work on NVIDIA MCP55 onboard sound card

Hello.
Some time ago, I bought a nice HP xw9400 Workstation (with Dual Core AMD Opteron 2216) from Germany. Despite it's starting to become old by today's standards for some stuff like gaming, it's still quite okay to use and the SAS HDD makes it boot fastly. And it has one of the best cases, you can plug PCI/PCIe/PCI-X cards very easily and it's very nice to change or add HDDs. Maybe I'll upgrade the CPUs (I can upgrade the bios and it seems it can support better CPUs) if I find them on eBay or other place.
I have less problems with Arch than the rest of distributions, but I still have weird issues. Despite my computer hardware is somewhat old, I still experience weird problems everywhere (it seems I have some kind of weird "luck").
I have problems using my microphone under Arch with "NVIDIA Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)" onboard sound card , here is the relevant info.

Sorry, that was wrong, I meant
arecord -l
Have you tried making a virtual loopback device like above and using
arecord -vv -fdat out.wav
You should see the #### fluctuate as you speak into the mic. If not, then unmute and turn up your mic in alsamixer. That loopback device will allow you to capture your sound card and hear it at the same time. Another way to do it is to use a jumper from line out to line in on your sound device. You won't be able to hear it while you record though.
If your sound device works, then you can capture what's going through it. You'll need to determine which vitual device your mic is.
Example
arecord -l

I am unable to attach PDFs to Hotmail/Outlook email using my FF browser today. Never had issue before today.

1. I am unable to attach pdfs today in Outlook/Hotmail email using my Firefox browser (27.0.1). I keep getting an error message that says, "The file is not a picture and can't be inserted inline." I do not understand why I keep getting this error message. I am not attempting to insert an image. I am selecting to Insert Files as Attachments from the drop down menu.
No matter how many times I attempt to attach various pdfs to my emails today using Firefox as my browser, I keep getting this same error message. I have cleared the cache, cleared all cookies, cleared all history, signed out of my Hotmail/Outlook account, signed back in, restarted computer, etc., to no avail. Same problem.
2. I switched to my Safari browser, and have no problem attaching pdfs in my Hotmail/Outlook email account. The pdfs are attaching perfectly as usual. My emails are being sent normally with the attachments. The attached pdfs are being received and are opening perfectly as intended.
3. Why am I unable to attach files with Firefox today? Firefox is my browser of choice and I have used it with my Hotmail/Outlook email account without any problems, till today. Please help me! Thank you!

Thank you jscher2000. Yes my PDFs do contain the .pdf extension. I tried your excellent idea to utilize the drag and drop method, but I still get the same error message with PDFs. I have no problem attaching photos or Word documents with either method; just PDFs.
For further diagnostics, I started composing my email in Safari, attached all my pdfs and saved my email as a Draft. I then went to Firefox, opened the draft to continue working on it, and voila! There are all the pdfs I attached previously while in Safari. I was able to send the email with attachments through Firefox with no issues. The attachments went through and were able to be opened.
I am mystified, as Firefox has been trouble-free with my email account, and I have never had this particular issue till today. I made no changes to anything else on my computer, but I did notice very late last night that Outlook had one of those typical messages at the top of my Inbox to refresh my browser since Outlook had been updated. I refreshed and shut down for the night, and when I rebooted this morning that is when I discovered this brand new glitch with attachments. I'm assuming this has something to do their last update.
