Save as failed to process this document. No file was created.

I've had Adobe Acrobat XI installed on my computer since November of 2013 and had never had any problems with the 'Save As' function - I could save all kinds of PDFs to Word, Excel, Power Point -- whichever format I needed -- until yesterday. Now I am suddenly getting "Save as failed to process this document. No file was created."
I also have the exact same set up (Windows 8, 64, Adobe Acrobat XI) on my laptop and have no issues w/ the "Save As" feature. To make sure that it is just my desktop's Acrobat that is acting strange, I took the exact same document and was NOT ABLE to "Save As" on desktop -- and was, with no issues, able to "Save As" the exact same document to Word on my laptop.
The ability to "Save As" is a feature that I use often -- so, please, tell me how I can get that feature back. I've already tried the "Repair" feature in Acrobat - no luck.

Hi Bill,
Yes - I did the upgrade - which I was avoiding because last time I upgraded, the font and icons within Adobe Acrobat became microscopic -- so I did a 'system restore' and turned off my updates. I have old eyes & work with Adobe Acrobat all day -- so the tiny print is horrible.
So, now I can either NOT be able to see the fonts and have the ability to convert to Word/Excel, etc OR, I can revert and actually SEE the fonts - but not be able to convert the documents I need to convert. This sucks.
Adobe Acrobat XI upgrade (11.0.06 and .07) has really been a disappointment. I've done all the little tricks about trying to fix the size of the fonts - but, just like most of what I've read, I can either have HUGE fonts/menus, etc or make it 'readable' by changing the registry - but then end up w/ horrible little icons.
It's really sad to have to choose one or the other - I'm very disappointed in Adobe.
Thanks for your input!!

    But all good saves in the format of TXT and jpg.
    I have uninstalled and restored and re-installed and updated and registry cleaned and removed using the special utility Cleaner Tool for Acrobat, but nothing helps.
    On one notebook with Windows 8.1 and Microsoft office 2013, on another laptop with Windows 7 and Microsoft office 2010, the same problem, although there are computers with Windows 7 and Microsoft office 2010 and everything works.

  • "Save As failed to process this document. No file was created." Error trying to convert pdf to word document

    Hi - I have a pdf created from indesign as a print quality pdf. The client now wanted to text in an editable format so they can reuse the content for a new years event.
    I get an error message "Save As failed to process this document. No file was created."
    Can anyone help out here?  There are a lot of graphics in it and it is horizontal - could any of this be an issue?
    Thanks
    Nikola

    Totally agree. Saving the pdf as a word file gives it the look of a word file, until corrections have to be made. The text flow will be, so to say, "strange". Reusing that file in Indesign ...
    We always save as rtf, send that one back and relink it afterwards (as long as the styles stay the same, only smaller corrections have to be made.

  • Adobe Acrobat DC - Save As failed to process this document. No file was created

    When exporting a pdf to any of the file formats in the Export Menu (Microsoft Word, Spreadsheet, Microsoft PowerPoint, etc) except for the Image format, the error mentioned in this title comes up and no file is created.
    This has happened to me since the XI version and was hoping that with the update to DC this issue would have been solved by now, since there is no posted solution anywhere at all.
    I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, even tried creating PDF/X compatible files and executing various Preflight tasks as well. This happens with every file, no exception, from the most basic one-liners with text only to every other document I have attempted to export.
    Please help, apparently the only remaining alternative would be to completely format the hard drive an reinstall everything from scratch (not even from a Time-Machine or comparable backup).
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Rave,
    Thank you for your message.
    I tried what you suggested and did not work either.
    It still is throwing the same error.
    Any other ideas?

    Hi Derek,
    What is the 'exact' error message that you see on the screen?
    and does this issue occurs with a specific pdf or with all the pdf files?
    Which operating system are you using?

  • Huge (14K pages) PDF Export to Excel gives "Save As Failed To Process" Message

    Using version 11.0.7.79, running Windows
    I have a massive (33.7MB, 13,900 page) PDF that I am trying to convert to HTML or Excel. When I try to export the file to either of these formats the export process will run for a number of minutes and then bomb out with the "Save As Failed To Process" message. I figured that the issue was with the file size, so I extracted a much smaller subset (200 pages) without a problem.
    Since it appears that file size is the problem, does anyone have a suggestion on how to approach the exporting of this huge file? What causes this error message? Any way to get around it (maybe online conversion of the file)?
    I could manually break it up into smaller files, but I'm hoping that there is 1) an easy way to segment the larger files into smaller files via a 3rd party solution (if needed) or 2) another way to export the huge PDF in one fell swoop. On point 1, I don't know if there is a solution that will automatically segment larger PDF's into 500 page segments per PDF file.
    For context, I am brand new to Acrobat Pro, so there could be a practical solution that I am not aware of yet. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

    Yea, this approach is not going to work. Even when I break these down into 1,000 page, 2MB files I get the same "Save As Failed To Process" error message. What causes this message? Not enough memory? How can I resolve it?
    It just doesn't make sense that I can't export basic data to Excel when the actual excel content for 1,000 pages will probably be less that 2MB once it is in Excel. I saved a sample 10 pages and it was 18KB. 100 sample pages was 123KB. I would expect Acrobat to be able to convert these files when I break them down into 1,000 page increments.
    Are there any settings within Acrobat that I should be looking at adjusting? It just seems ridiculous that it is this hard to get Acrobat to do a very basic export for what seems to be a reasonable sized file.

  • Adobe connect could not process this document for viewing

    I am using Connect 9 and trying to add a PDF to a share pod. These PDF's are sized at 11x17 and were converted from dwg  files. They are 2-4 megs in size. When I add them to a share pod I get the following error:
    "adobe connect could not process this document for viewing. Please try uploading the file again."
    Things I have already tried:
    Optimizing the PDF
    Printing the dwg file to a pdf
    Adding the pdf to my content library and then adding it to the share pod
    Reducing the page size
    Adding other PDF's to the meeting or pods work fine including larger sized files. My meeting is in 2 days and I can go with a screen share if I have too, but am working witha coulpe of novice presenters and want to make the process as easy for them as posible.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Message'there was an error opening this document.The file cannot be found'

    Using xp home and when I click to download the pdf file, it will give 3 options been 'open'/'save'/?. When I choose the 'open' option, it will give me the above message "there was an error opening this document.The file cannot be found"
    owever if I choose to "save" and I will be able to open the file and read it. In this pc its using Adobe Reader 8.1.2 with a patch. It was working fine prior to this sudden occurance of the error.
    Strangely I have another pc with the same specification, I was able to choose "open" and be able to read the file. Can anyone help to resolve the issue by using the "open' option instead of "save, then open". Greateful for your prompt response.

    Fyi, in addition to my earlier post, the other pc is using Adobe 8.1.1 and no other patch. I was trying to find 8.1.1 version but could not find a trust worthy site to load from. Do you think the error caused by using the 8.1.2 version? Thanks

    What is the version of your Adobe Reader?  It sounds like you are using the desktop version of Adobe Reader.

  • Which version doesn't produce this error: "there was an error opening this document. the file is damanged and could not be repaired"?

    This error message occasionally occurs with Acrobat 5 on XP 2.  However the same files can be opened with Acrobat 6.0.4 on Win98(se2).
         "There was an error opening this document. the file is damanged and could not be repaired."
    I'd like ot upgrade 5 on my XP system, but have read many posts complaining about the same error with newer versions.
    Is there a version that never produces this error on files that aren't actually damaged? And has anyone figured out what produces this error? (The posts I've seen suggest solutions that don't seem to work.)
    Thanks.
    Ellen

    Thanks, Prasanth.
    I've read posts about this problem happening on all versions, and wanted to see if it was least likely to happen in one version.
    I just need the basic function - the ability to read a pdf file.
    Of course, it seems to be a problem only for some, and there's no way of knowing the extent, so I will try an upgrade or two.
