Problems printing as a pdf

Hello,
I am running Acrobat professional 7.0 on Windows Xp as I have been doing for years now.  Now I cannot print as a pdf and get the follow error message:  Acrodist.exe application error Instruction "0x0045c9e5" refereced memory at "0x01e7ebdc".  The memory could not be "read".  Click on OK to terminate the program.
I have uninstalled all adobe programs and reinstalled and still I have the error message.  It worked fine until I had Adobe illustrator file that crashed and now it won't work.
Thanks for any help!

I posted this in another thread, but I'll post it here as well.
This problem came up on my laptop today and I have found a solution, at least on mine. I was getting the exact same error as above (with different memory locations) when I tried to start Distiller (Acrobat 7.0). It had worked fine for years. On mine it was limited to my specific user account. I could run Distiller fine from the Administrator account. I also created a new standard user account to test with and it ran fine from that one as well. But it wouldn't run from my personal account. So I knew it was something with that specific account.
To make a long story short, it ended up being a corrupt cache. You can find the cache in the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\Distiller 7\
What I did was just rename the old cache folder and let distiller recreate it. That fixed it. Good luck.

  • Problems printing envelope from pdf file with logo & return address.

    I have the 6310 All-In-One Printer. I am experiencing major problems printing envelopes (standard size, #10) from a pdf file that is setup with a business logo, name , and address. First of all, the User Guide on page 63 directs you to load the envelope with the flaps up and on the left. This prints out return address in the lower right corner of the envelope front. I have insert the envelope opposite to the User Guide to get the information printed in the correct location, the upper left corner.
    Bigger problem - The logo, which is placed to the left of the business name and address will NOT print out. My preview printer window shows the logo, but it will not print. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.

  • Problem printing webpages to PDF

    For years I have used the following steps to "print" me an electronic copy of receipts and such from websites and never had a problem until now... can anybody help me figure out what is causing the problem and how to correct it?
         choose print preview
         choose "Adobe PDF" from the printer list
         click OK in the print dialog box
         assign a name for the file in the "save file as" dialog box
         then my document would be created and available
    Since I got a new computer, every time I try to do this, my internet explorer freezes up and has to be closed in the task manager, which results in the window showing my receipt timing out so I can't retrieve a copy of my receipt. 
    Because with the new computer I upgraded from Win. XP to Win. 7 and from Adobe CS3 to Adobe CS5, I'm not sure which program change might have caused the problem or where to start looking so I thought I'd see if anyone else has had this problem and, if so, how they corrected it.
    Thanks.

    I have heard that some people have had success enabling the "Compatibility Mode" feature in IE8, even though this would not seem to be an issue.
    If this does not work for you and you do not get another solution, I suggest trying to print the page in a different browser to see if the problem is an IE or Acrobat issue.

  • Problem Printing To Adobe PDF Printer Acrobat PRO 9

    Hello,

    Printing to the Acrobad PDF printer gives always error message  that is is not possible to print to the Printer.
    Try to print a test page
    Check if the printer is on
    Reinstall the printer.
    I have deinstalled the full Acrobat , rebooted the PC , reinstalled the Acrobat 9 Pro. Same problem. It is not possible to print from for example Word, Wordpad,..... to the ADOBE PDF printer.

    Hello,
    When i open for example Word, and try to print from there to the PDF writer like you proposed.
    I select print to file.
    There is a warning something about PS fonts. After clicking this away.
    There is a error that it is not possible to print but the filename  I have given is Created (.prn)
    Opening The distiller, when I click there open. I don’t have the possibility to select my file because the distiller is closing directly without any warning.
    When I go to Services , Acrotray is listed.
    So the ACrobat 9 is Creation Nothing at all, it is just the main program that i can start, scan from scanner is no problem wut when saving the Actobat is closing.
    The acrobat is upated to the latest version.
    Is it possible that the Windows XP is corrupt ?

  • Problems printing double-sided PDFs

    Hi,
    When I print any PDF document on any printer as double-sided, the second side always prints upside-down. I am printing from Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 professional for Windows XP.
    This is annoying and I need to fix this problem.
    Suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
    Bent

    I've encountered a similar problem, the solution was to uncheck the "Auto rotate and centre" box. What this does is to atomatically print protrait pages in portrait and landscape pages in landscape. Whenyou uncheck the box you will need to set the paper up yourself and for any pages that are on a different orienation you will need to manually rotate or print seperatly. This cured the problem for me.

  • (9iAS) problem printing reports in pdf format on NT client

    Hi
    Some details first:
    iAS version=9.0.2.3.0
    Reports Version=9.0.2.0.3
    Portal Version=9.0.2.3b
    Client NT Version=4 SP4
    Via a portal connection, a report is called by following a series of hyperlinks and the resulting url is like below:

    This report produces a pdf output fine for a client that has Win2K, however, with Windows NT we receive the following error message:
    The requested URL could not be retrieved
    While trying to retrieve the URL:
    http://devoc4j.testcentre.co.uk/nrdms/xml/xmlResultSetPDF.xml?PID=eip&SID=vPXP9kQLR2NK1us1004&RID=aGa3Bhbn2PkffA81014&DOCID=2uRpdWVlscVNCab1012&&ieh=report.pdf
    The following error was encountered:
    Unable to determine IP address from host name for unknown server name
    This means that:
    The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
    Check if the address is correct.
    This is consistent across all NT client boxes.
    I have changed the following settings on the NT boxes:
    Select TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS > CONNECTIONS > LAN
    SETTINGS and uncheck AUTOMATICALLY DETECT SETTINGS
    This has had no effect, the problem is still existent. Does anyone have any ideas why?
    Apologies for the length of the message, it's just to make it all clear!!

  • Problems printing a digitally signed PDF

    Hi
    I'm having problems printing a digitally signed PDF on a dell 968 AIO printer. It works fine on the a majority of printers but we have had reports of issues with other models as well as the dell printer.
    The PDF prints fine when opened in Adobe Reader 9 (blue bar appears at top to indicate signed pdf).
    When opened in Adobe Acrobat 7 on the same PC the first pages prints correctly but the rest of the pages print only a few lines in a huge font and the characters are backwards.
    The pdf does not always open in reader when accessed through the web it will sometimes open with acrobat is there anyway to control this?
    Does anyone know why this maybe happening?
    Thanks
    Claire

    Thanks for the reply Mike. I think I've got a little further with this problem now. There seems to be a problem printing the signed PDF in adobe reader 7 as well as acrobat 7.
    I have uninstalled acrobat from the machine but the problem still happens with reader 7.
    Does anyone know if reader 7 and below has any known issues printing signed pdf's. It works fine on 8 and above.
    thanks
    Claire

  • Problem printing scanned PDF document from iPad to HP Photosmart Plus B209a

    Hi,
    I'd like to report a problem printing a scanned PDF document from iPad via HP ePrint application to my HP Photosmart Plus B209a printer. The document was sent to the printer without any issue. However, the printer only prints out the
     screenshot image in the center of the PDF page, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit in an A4 paper. The rest of the document is simply ignored by the printer. The document with the problem can be downloaded in the link below:
    Download PDF document with the problem
    What could be wrong? Thank you in advance!

    Thanks for the reply.
    I received the document from my teacher, so I don't know what program she used to scan it.
    I tried to print the document directly from my PC which works fine though, so I guess the document is OK.
    My HP printer is an old model which doesn't support eprint or air print, so I used the eprint application on iOS to print the document. I tried both color and black/white which gave me the same result: only the center screenshot image is printed out, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit an A4 paper, the rest of the document is just ignored.
    What do you mean by saving it as a document?

  • Having problem with the printer with type "PDF Publisher"

    Hi,
    We are having problem with printing PDF reports with print style as "PDF Publishrer". The concurrent program errors out after it generates the report. But when we try that with style "PORTRAIT" then it prints successfully. We have tried with a number of printers and a number of reports. The results are same. So my understanding is it has something to do with the printer configuration from the EBS side.
    Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.

    Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am having problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.  Printing other PDF created by MS Word works well.  Had a similar problem in an earlier version of Pro.  The fix I figure out then was to print the PDF file as another PDF.  Using the second PDF to print to a plotter typically worked.  It does not work for Adoabe Acrobat Pro XI.

    Hi presottom
    Please refer ; http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-pdf-printing-acrobat-reader.html

    What is the OS ?
    is there any error message , etc .. ?

  • Problems printing PDF's using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    During the last two weeks, I have been unable to print a PDF from my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. They appear okay on the screen, but print as gibberish.
    After consulting the forums, one workaround suggested was to print as image. Tried it, also prints gibberish.
    Another suggestion to update my printer software, did it. Still prints as gibberish. My priner is an Epston Stylus Photo R220.
    I'm a writer, not a software technician. I am not using a bootleg copy of the program, but an educational version, so Adobe won't offer me any advice over the phone without payment.
    Anything else I could try before paying?

    [email address deleted by host]

    I have same problem as described above, but not always.  Seems to depend on the web page I am trying to print to Adobe. One consistent culprit is Bank of America.  Looks okay until I print to Adobe Acrobat 9 or 10. Then it's gibberish.  i had to copy to Word and then print Word to Acrobat or printer.  
    . Various computers,
    . same problem with either Acrobat 9 or 10.
    . Not a problem printing to Acrobat from a Word or Excel or Outlook document
    . Only from certain websites and not the entire page, only the OCR part. The objects: logos, pictures are okay, only text is messed up.
    Definitely would like Adobe to fix this.

  • Problem printing borderless PDF w/ Snow Leopard + Acrobat Pro 9 + MS Office

    Create a borderless Word doc in MS Office 2008 (text or images go all the way to the edge).
    Using OS X 10.5, you can select "Print to PDF" and it will print a borderless PDF. Beautiful.
    Using OX X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), that's now impossible because Snow Leopard is incompatible with the Acrobat 9 PDF print engine. (See this article: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html )
    Is there a solution?
    This is a Snow Leopard problem, so Apple must be responsible for the solution. It worked beautifully with 10.5, and now an upgrade renders it entirely useless.
    Please help urgently.

    I use US Letter and A4 page sizes frequently, but have been known to use other sizes as well. A custom hack would be great, thank-you.
    Download CUPS-PDF from the link above. Download my PPD file with borderless A4 and US Letter from: http://etresoft.org/opensource/PostscriptBorderless.zip
    Copy the PPD file somewhere convenient on your system. Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax > + (to add a printer).
    Select CUPS-PDF. In the Print Using pop-up, select "Other" and choose my PPD file. Click the Add button.
    Now when you print to CUPS-PDF, you will be able to select borderless A4 and borderless US letter. Your PDF files will show up in /Users/Shared/CUPS-PDF/<your user account>/
    Although the underlying issue still remains.
    That Adobe's PDF Printer doesn't work? Yes. I agree.
    (To be honest, I think both of the companies should be working on solutions as urgently as possible as it's disrespectful to their long-term customers.)
    Again, I agree. While I am certainly biased towards Apple, in most cases (and especially this case), it is Adobe that needs to get their act in gear. Snow Leopard was released over a year ago. Adobe had pre-release copies long before that. Their PDF printer still doesn't work. Some random guys on the internet (the authors of CUPS-PDF for MacOS X and me) were about to make the 5 minute (no exaggeration!) changes required to produce a functional virtual printer for Snow Leopard. Why can't Adobe?
    Feel free to forward that to Adobe http://www.adobe.com/bin/webfeedback.cgi

  • Problems printing to PDF from PPT 2K7

    Hi All,
    I am wondering if someone here can help me. I have a user that is having an issue printing to Adobe PDF from Powerpoint 2007. He can save the file as a PDF but wants to print it so he can get a better resolution.
    Office 2007 is installed on an Dell 980 XP machine SP3...
    Adobe CS4 Design Premium is also installed.
    When selecting 'Adobe PDF' printer and clicking OK the process starts but then crashes PowerPoint and bombs out... The error log generated saya this...
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: --nostringval-- ]%%
    Stack:
    /mFS
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    His colleague has the same software installed on a different machine and it works fine. I also setup a new laptop with everything installed for him and he had the same issue there... We don't use roaming profiles, so really don't understand this at all.
    Would someone here be able to help me out with the error log above?
    Many Thanks,

    Is this problem with every ppt file? Can you create a PDF through the Acrobat Ribbon (click Acrobat in the PPT 2k7 menu and then click create PDF)?
    Can you share your ppt file with us so that we can reproduce the issue at our end.
