Redaction error: Bad parameter

I am using Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 on Windows XP. I have spent about 90 minutes redacting an 83-page document. When I ran the "Apply Redaction" command, the progress bar showed the program going through the pages till 83. But it gave an error message "Bad parameter." Beginning at page 16, some items are redacted and others are left marked for redaction (i.e., a red box is around the text).
Has anyone run into the problem before? Is there a solution?

Hi everyone,
since Adobe has decided to quit supporting Flash for mobile devices we are currently looking at how to continu without using Flash. For the moment I'm trying to use Wallaby, but I encounter the same error as mentioned above.
Any help is appreciated!
[edit]
I'm using Adobe Indesign 5.5 > fla export.

  • Getting an error "bad parameter" while saving

    Hi,
    I am trying to open a particular pdf in IE9 browser from my application and trying to save PDF file to my computer. I observed that Save option is disabled for that PDF file in IE9 browser. When I try to save the same file using Ctrl+Alt+S option, I am getting an error "bad parameter". I am not getting any further details on this issue. I am able to save same PDF in IE8 and mozilla browsers. Can you please help me in solving this issue.
    Please find below my environment details.
    Os: Windows 7
    Browser: IE9
    Adobe Reader Version: 11.0.03.
    PDF template is created using  Adobe PDF Creater 11.0.03.

    Two things I would try:
    update to Reader 11.0.5
    try saving the PDF without opening it in Adobe Reader (right-click on link, then Save target as...)

  • Encrypting PDF with password. PDF command failed due to PDFlib error: Bad parameter.

    I'm trying to encrypt a PDF with a password and receive this error.
    ~ERROR~com.adobe.document.PDFManipulation~: PDF command failed due to PDFlib error: Bad parameter.
    It does not throw an exception, it just logs this error.
    Anybody know how to fix this?
    Version: 7.0.2
    OS: Win

    I was also getting this error, when trying to set usage rights on a document and then encrypt it with a password. I found a solution which works (more like a workaround, as this feels like a bug):
    1. Open the unprotected file
    2. Call pdfDocument.encryptWithPassword()
    3. Call pdfDocument.save(), write resulting bytes to temp file
    4. Reopen this file with pdfFactory.openPdfWithPassword()
    5. Now you can call pdfDocument.setUsageRights() and pdfDocument.save()

  • Bad Parameter

    When inserting or deleting pages out of a pdf on occasions I get the 'bad parameter' message and am not able to insert/delete pages.
    I have searched this for a long time and can not find anything apart from having to combined files and print to pdf, then being able to insert or delete pages, however I do not require to combine.
    Surely Acrobat has a fix for this now? Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

  • Converted MS Word 2007 to Adobe Acrobat 9 random "Bad Parameter" Error

    Question: I Converted MS Word 2007 file which contained 892 pages into Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard afterwards and while needing to update only certain pages I receive the "Bad Parameter" Error. My process is using drop down Document/Extract pages(make my updates)/Replace pages into complete PDF file/ usually with no problem then towards the last pages of the PDF the Error showed up! I believe that it’s possible, the conversion initially may have allowed many tags to be written correctly but some are corrupted. It could be a buffer-overflow failsafe that is having an adverse effect against the two programs because of the file’s size? I have seen some good advice come from many people on this site like "Bill@VT" and "CtDave" and others so I am humbly requesting assistance? Some additional background information is I have to keep the file size the same and I cannot print to PDF file from Word due to a specific format I must keep and most of the PDF is not corrupt: meaning receiving the "Error". I would like to know if the error that seems to be due to the conversion process can be corrected. I have provided some additional similar post below from other customers that may be useful as reference material?  R/ Thanks in advance! 
    “Like 10 others, I get a "bad parameter" pop-up window when I try to delete 1 or more pages from a PDF created from Adobe 8 Pro from Microsoft Word 2007.  Of the 3 computers we have tried to delete the pages, we are running Windows XP and Office 2007 on all.  But 1 computer has Adobe 7 Pro, one has Adobe 8 Pro, and the 3rd has Adobe 9 Pro.  None are able to delete or extract the pages -- we get the bad parameter error each time we try. The PDF has 260 pages and occupies 5.7 MB memory.  What additional information can I provide to get a resolution to this problem?  Thanks!” “Civilengr10” (posted Aug 17, 2010)
    “I am taking adobe files from a database, saving them, and then making changes to them by inserting (from other adobe files from the same database) or deleting pages.  Very basic stuff! However, sometimes when I want to insert pages, it will insert them but then say "bad parameter".  After that point, I cannot delete any pages.  It will give me the "bad parameter" error again and not delete. I have reduced the file size, ran "Examine Document" and removed whatever it wanted me to, and whenever I save a file, I do Save As...instead of Save! Also, under preferences > security I have the "Verify signatures when the document is opened" unchecked. None of these recommendations that I have read elsewhere work.  Can someone offer me some guidance? I am working on the files locally.  I save the files from the database unto my own folder on the computer. The thing is, some of the files I download from the database are fine and do not give me any error, but others do.  Do you know how I can fix the files that are corrupted from the database?” “hoda64” (posted July 22, 2009)
    “Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9
    I have a Word 2007 DOC (not docx) file with pictures and text which converted perfectly with Distiller 8. I installed CS4 Distiller 9, and now the same DOC file flows over onto several extra pages. I am using the default settings. Any idea what has changed? Thanks in advance.  “Petrula” (posted Nov 29, 2002) “First, select the Adobe PDF printer in WORD. Then go through the document to check for the flow of the document. It should print the same as you see in the document after the printer has been selected.”

    For the replace and delete pages, I can only guess that you are messing up some of the bookmarks or links in the page from what I think you have based on the description. I would work on copies between each stage so that you can at least go back to the last success stage. If possible, you are better to go back and do the modifications in the original page and the recreate the PDF. If that is not possible, then maybe a better explanation of how you are creating the PDF would help folks understand your process fully and suggest a solution.
    On the latter, I would do a repair on Acrobat. However, it may be in the process you are using in the conversion from WORD. How are you creating the PDF from WORD? Have you updated AA9 and not simply have 9.0? The confusing point is that you talk about Distiller for getting the PDF from WORD. Distiller is often involved, but only behind the scenes and normally you either print to the Adobe PDF printer, use PDF Maker, or use the MS plugin for PDF creation. So when stating Distiller, it is unclear what process you are using since none of the methods I mention state the use of Distiller even if it is used in the background.

  • BAD PARAMETER Error when Deleting Pages in Acrobat

    When I attempted to delete pages in Acrobat Standard, I received an information error stating:
    Bad Parameter
    When I try to click ok on the error message, it just keeps coming back over and over again. There is no way to get rid of the error message so I am forced to end the program using the Windows Task Manager.
    Has anyone seen this error message before and if so, is there a fix?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks!
    ~Q

    Hello,
    This is an incredably annoying error. I had a complete manuscript ready for print, except I needed to delete one page, which of course Acrobat would not let me. I had spent a considerable amount of energy on the page numbering, bookmarks etc., so creating a completely new PDF by for example printing to PDF was out of the question.
    In the end, I ended up extracting all the pages in the document, except the one I wanted to delete. This way, I ended up with a new PDF, but all of the bookmarks, page number formatting, etc. migrated together with the extracted pages to the new document.
    Hopefully, Adobe will be able to fix this issue soon.

  • Error message: Bad Parameter

    In attempting to scan into Acrobat X, I'm getting an error message indicating bad parameter and it won't scan. How can I fix this?

    Select  File -> Create -> PDF from Scanner -> Configure Presets -> Select the scanner that you have installed (must have a functional scanner installed before this step) -> probably will need to set Paper Size to Automatic.   Click: Save
    Should work now.

  • After Effects error: creating movie - bad parameter (-50) (44::36)

    Hello,
    When I am trying to render a composition to Mov. file with the following preferances:
    FULL HD 1920X1080 (interlaced)
    Lossless (Animation)
    I get this error message:
    "After Effects error: creating movie - bad parameter (-50) (44::36)"
    Would anyone happen to know know what might be th problem?
    Thank you
    Giannis

    Thank you very much! I think I found the solution. I wasn't
    putting any keyframes. With Animation codec, you
    have to set keyframes every fev frames..

  • I was working on numerous songs in Logic Pro 9, and for some reason 2 of the songs would not bounce. I get an error message: Error in parameter list / Not an existing volume, and no default volume / Bad positioning information / Bad drive number

    I was doing some minor editing in Logic Pro 9.1.8, like adding some plug-ins to audio and midi tracks on numerous songs. Most of the songs I had no problem bouncing. For some reason 2 of the songs I tried to bounce kept showing me this error message:
    "Error in parameter list / Not an existing volume, and no default volume / Bad positioning information / Bad drive number" result code=-50.
    The songs open and play fine, but won't let me bounce. I've worked with Logic for a few years and this has never happened. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Fixed! Ran disk utilities and repaired my external HD.
