Save as PDF error in CS2

Hello all, I've been researching this problem for a few days now, and trying all different output settings but to no avail.
I haven't seen the issue described exactly like this so here we go. I have a design set at 150 DPI in CMYK, when trying to save as a PDF, as a copy, without layers, I get the message "Could not save a copy as x_filename.pdf because of a program error". Now however if I rasterize all of the text layers, it allows me to save as a PDF. This is a problem as I want to preserve the text layers as vector and not rasterize them.
I'm sure there's some setting I am missing here but can't find it, any help is greatly appreciated. There are no layer styles or italic/underlined fonts.

This is a problem as I want to preserve the text layers as vector and not rasterize them.
But do the fonts actually allow embedding? Based on your description I would say not - you are using at least one commercial font whose licensing does not allow native embedding. Therefore this will always fail unless you substitute the font - or you will have to accept rasterization.

  • "Save As PDF" in Safari only Results in "Error While Printing"

    Hi, first time poster. I searched through the forum and didn't find anything like my problem specifically on topic. I still Hope this isn't being redundant with anything else that has been posted.
    Problem:
    When I go to Print->Save as PDF the normal dialogue comes up without a problem. Its when I click on the save button that I an error saying "Error While Printing" pops up. Pulling up the console nets me with the following:

    *What I've Tried*
    I haven't had any luck with the solutions others have posted online (like Little Snitch being a culprit) when I've searched for either the "Save As PDF", "Error While Printing", or the console log error. I've run the printer reset function in system preferences and I've never had any printer installed on the system.
    I should note that prior to any of these problems with Safari, I installed the Firefox 3 RC1. I've since uninstalled it, because I was suspicious of it having an effect (being a little buggy as an RC). Removing it with AppCleaner hasn't changed the problem.
    Thanks all,

    I could print/save as .pdf until I did my latest software upgrade. Now I get "error while printing", and have been unable to find a solution. this is quite a problem for me, because I do a lot of research on the Web and have saved my results for years in pdf. Have you found a solution?

  • CS3 - No Save As PDF Settings

    I have Photoshop CS3 Extended and for some reason it does not have the different preset settings for when you Save As > PDF.  My CS2 had these so I would assume the CS3 would.  Am I missing a file?

    The program should show you the full PDF dialog once you hit the Save button and allow you to adjust things, even if no specific presets exist. PDF presets for all Adobe appas are stored globally. If they are not there, than an  uninstall of another Adobe program with PDF support or an update gone  wrong might have messed them up.

  • Error Message CS2 to pdf

    Hello: Could anyone please help?
    I run Mac Classic/IL 9 and Mac 10.4.7/CS2. When working in IL9 I get a memory deficient notice. So, started working in CS2 and have been able to save photo/text doc as .ai doc and .eps file, but can't get either to save to pdf format. I have a current Adobe reader, but  Adobe Distiller 4 for which there is a save option in the IL CS2 program. I keep getting 'unknown error.' Need to save docs as pdfs and have no clue what to do. Tried copying and pasting to new dock with no luck. Docs 'save to web' okay, but do not preserve layout margins (if that is of any help).
    Many Thanks for your suggestions . . .

    Thanks for your response.
    I haven't upgraded to 10.4.11 because it will render my QuickBooks version obsolete.
    Do not know how to remove preferences, repair permissions etc. Could you please advise?
    Also, had a catastrophic system event on the advice to reinstall IL a year ago, so not likely to try again. 
    Any comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Word 2007 - Save as Pdf gives error - This file is in use by another application or user

    I have MS Office 2007 Small Business.
    For months I have been using the "Save as PDF/XPS" option to save my word documents as PDF files.
    All of a sudden, when I click on the publish button within the "save as PDF dialog", I get the error:
    "This file is in use by another application or user."
    - I have tried creating a new word document and I still get this error when I try to save-as pdf. 
    - I have tried opening a document that previously was able to be saved-as-a-pdf, and it no longer works either.
    - I have tried saving from other office applications (excel, powerpoint) that also get errors now.
    I have not personally installed any new software that I recall between when this worked and stopped working for me.
    As far as I can tell there have been no updates explicitly for save-as-pdf in office.
    Is anyone else seeing this problem all-of-a-sudden?
    Thanks.

    I just encountered this problem while trying to save a pdf from Excel 2007.  I had recently updated to Adobe Reader 9.1.
    I received the same error message you're reporting here when I went to Word 2007 and tried to save a pdf file from it as well. 
    I uninstalled Adobe Reader 9.1. 
    Reinstalled the Office 2007 pdf plug-in
    Successfully created pdf files from word and from Excel (which is what I needed to do in the first place).
    I then reinstalled Adobe Reader 9.1 so I could read the PDF files I had just created in Excel and word.
    I then tried to create pdf files from word and excel.  Error messages are back and I'm unable to create pdf's from word or excel.
    So.. why does Office 2007 pdf plugin not work when Adobe Reader 9.1 is installed?
    Frankly I'm getting tired of uninstalling Adobe Reader 9.1 every time I need to create a pdf file in Word or Excel.

  • Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error, so you can load Firefox again.

    Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error. I have Windows XP (Media Center Edition) and all updates (Firefox, Adobe PDF, Microsoft, virus protection, etc) are installed. This has only been a problem since Firefox 4, and isn't a problem in Internet Explorer.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
    Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

  • Error message when trying to save as PDF or to export form

    I used Form Central and chose a template, and changed a few things. Now I couldn't save the document or export it, though I followed the other response to download and install the latest flash player (but the same Error message is there again when I tried saving again). Also, I couldn't share the form through emails, where's the sharing button?

    OK – that helps a lot (knowing it is the desktop application with Acrobat XI).
    A few questions:
    Have you launched Acrobat XI and accepted the EULA etc?  I assume your trial period is still valid?
    Can you go to the “Help” menu and select “About FormsCentral” and tell me the “Build” number at the bottom?
    Using the Acrobat XI FormsCentral Desktop application you can save forms as PDF with a paid or free account, so there is some other reason you are not able to save as PDF…  I will try to figure out what is going on there…
    The reason you don’t see the “Share” button (or menu item) is that you are working in a “local” form (I am assuming), a form stored locally in the desktop application that is available whether you have internet connection or not.  In a Free account you can only have one form “online” but you can have unlimited “local” forms, so after you have one form online the rest are created locally in the application.  In order to share the form (and many other options in the forms) you need to “move” the form online (but would need to delete any other online forms you have).
    For more information about the desktop application there is an FAQ here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/formscentral/using/WSfbd8801cd9e3b90466dec8cf13a00789d8f-8000. html
    The FAQ does not have screenshots, but if you are looking at the “My Forms” tab (if you have a form open and close it you see the “My Forms” dashboard), local forms have a little computer icon next to them (left column) and online forms show a cloud icon.  Read the “Move forms online” section of the FAQ for more information about the differences between the local and online forms.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Photoshop CS6 - can't save as a PDF - error message

    Hi - I am having problems saving a PDF in photoshop CS6.
    There isn't an option to save as a PDF in the Save As function so I've been trying to do this through the Print Function.
    When I get to the point where I press Save I get the following error messgae:
    Any ideas why this is or how I can rectify this problem?!
    Any help appreciated. Thanks!

    Without exact system info, details about the document, PDF settings used and so on nobody can tell you much. There could be any number of reasons why you neither can save as PDF nor print to PDF, the most obvious being an unsuitable color mode or a wrong document size.

  • When I save a pdf file and try to open it I get an error message

    When I save a pdf file and try to open it I get an error message, "Adobe Reader could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
    When I try to open it with Preview I get this message, "file name.pdf” could not be opened because it is empty."
    I am running  Maverick OS X 10.9.1.  What's up with this?

    Good question (I'm not a Mac guy these days).
    But Adobe Reader is only viewing the file as it has been saved. If it happens to all pdf files from all sources, I would begin to investigate your OS (and possible permissions but I'm not sure) maybe in the Apple forums.

  • Just recently when I go to save a document as a pdf (Mac. OS X 10.5.8) (Print save as pdf ) I cannot open the saved pdf. I get an error message that the file is corrupt or there has been an error.

    I use both aol and Yahoo for email - the problem appears in both. It does not happen in Word.
    This computer is on a wireless home network, but the error mssg appears no matter where I save the PDF. This is not a problem in Safari.

    {Ctrl + P} and select your printer in the Printer - Name box near the top of that window.

    Why am I unable to save a pdf doc. to desktop? I get error 21 message. This is a recent problem I was able to save to desktop for a year. I can save it to acrobat

    Hi Edward,
    This error occurs due to a problem in the Adobe Acrobat/Reader functionality used to display scanned documents and/or documents containing JP2K images.
    We are aware of the issue. This issue was reported to us on other threads as well: Adobe Reader Error (21)

  • Fill-in PDF forms and save with no error messages. How?

    I've saved a Reader Extended PDF enabling form fill-in and save, but users report error saying, "WITHOUT THE OWNER PASSWORD YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO SAVE THIS DOCUMENT." What do I need to do enable them to fill-in and save with no errors?

    BTW, most users of this form (which was created in Adobe Acrobat v. XI on a Mac w/iOS version 10.7.5) have no problem with it. Only certain users (on Macs) have this "password required" error show up. How do I make it workable for everyone, including these Mac users?

  • Safari Mail/Save as PDF reporting "Error while printing"

    It's only just started doing this today, after I installed the updates that came with Mavericks.
    I have been using this feature for 5 years to email receipts to clients... Please tell me that this isn't an ongoing problem!
    I hit command-P to print, then select PDF > Mail PDF. Worked absolutely fine before. Don't know what has happened to cause it to behave differently.
    Thank you!

  • MS Word Save As PDF - large files error saves the day, but I can't duplicate it

    I saved a large MS Word 2007 file as a PDF and a message came up saying that this would take a long time and that it would be faster if I saved the file without all of the accessibility features. The message asked if I wanted to do this, I said yes and the resulting file was perfect! Yes, PERFECT! All of the fonts were fine, the table of contents worked (you could click on the headings and be taken to the right section) and the file size was 5 times smaller than the original word file.
    This happened twice in a row. Then, on my last MS Word document, it did not and the resulting PDF file was 10 times larger than the MS Word file. I tried to turn the accessibility option off, but this didn't help. I turned the bit-mapped fonts off, which helped in file size, but ruined the look of the document. I tried printing to a PDF, which helped on file size, but the table of contents didn't work.
    How can I get this message to reappear or what settings can I change to get this to work (i.e. to get a 3 MB MS Word file saved as a 1 MB PDF file with the right fonts and a working table of contents)? I know Adobe Reader can do it.

    I have Adobe Acrobat 8.0 and Reader 8.0. In MS Word 2007, if I click Save As, I can select the file type as PDF. I do not know which program is allowing this (Word, Acrobat or Reader). When I select PDF, my Save As window changes slightly, giving me options, such as saving in Standard or Minimum size formatting (and no, minimum size formatting doesn't perform the way I need it to). I can also click on an Options button, which is where I can choose to remove the accessibility options as I mentioned previously.
    So, sorry, I didn't know that Reader was not the program performing this. It must be Acrobat.
    I'll rephrase my statement: I know a program that I'm using at the time I save a Word 2007 file as a PDF has the capability to save a PDF exactly as I need it.

    Stuck files in the queue sounds like a problem I had with Acrobat X. The
    10.0.1 patch broke the Adobe PDF printer, so that it tried to use the
    COM1: port, instead of the Documents or Desktop port. (You can check for
    this by right-clicking the Adobe PDF printer, choosing "Printer
    Properties," then selecting the "Ports" tab.) In fact, it deleted those
    ports! (Here's a link to that problem:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/893/cpsid_89330.html). The result was PDFs that
    would not print, and would be left stuck in the printer queue. The fix
    was to delete the Adobe PDF printer, then run the Acrobat repair option
    to regenerate it. You might want to do this. Following are the
    directions for Windows 7. Windows XP instruction are included at the
    link above.
              *Windows Vista (UAC on, nonadmin user), Windows 7 (UAC on,
              admin user)*
    1. Close all PDF files.
    2. Go to Printers and Faxes (Windows XP), Printers (Vista) or Devices
        and Printers (Windows 7).
    3. Right-click the Adobe PDF printer and click Delete (Windows XP,
        Vista) or Remove Device (Windows 7).
    4. Enter the admin credentials. This step deletes the Adobe PDF printer.
    5. Go to Programs and Features (Vista and Windows 7).
    6. Select Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Standard and click Change.
    7. Select Repair and follow instructions to complete repair.**
    By the way, I don't think this was mentioned earlier, but another cause
    of problems with PDF generation is having more than one installation
    and/or version of Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or the PDF creation add-on that
    comes with FrameMaker installed simultaneously. If you have Acrobat, you
    should NOT have Adobe Reader or the PDF creation add-on installed on the
    same computer, and you should have only one version of Acrobat installed.
