Save as PDF stopped working since updating

I am using Photoshop/Lightroom Photography CC, Office 2010 on Windows 7 Home (64bit).
Since updating to the latest version of Photoshop in the last week or so, saving as a PDF file seems to have stopped working in Word & Excel.
Could there be a link?
I'm pretty sure I haven't made any other changes, or Windows updates.
The response from Excel is "Document not saved" and from Word it's "The export failed due to an unexpected error." No other indication of what the problem might be and nothing in the Event Logs.
I have tried repairing Office but that hasn't helped.
Why do these niggles always bite you just when things are at their most stressful!! :-)
Thanks,
Roy

OK - I did a Restore to a point the day before the Photoshop  updates were released. The Restore point told me that only Photoshop and Lightroom would be affected. After the Restore Lightroom was indeed at the earlier version but strangely, Photoshop wasn't.
However - the "Save to PDF" in Word & Excel were now working.
I Uninstalled Photoshop, and then reinstalled it and the latest version of Lightroom.
"Save to PDF" continued to work.
There are no Windows updates needed - that's all up to date.
So I have no idea what was causing the problem but at least it's now working and I can get on with things! Something corrupted I guess. But at least it doesn't look like the Photoshop/Lightroom upgrade was anything to do with it!

  • My home screen button has stopped working since updating to ios7 (iphone4)

    My home screen button has stopped working since updating to ios7 (iphone4)
    Originally i noticed that it was less responsive but now it does absolutely nothing.
    I have cleaned the button and also tried calibrating (opening an apple app, holding the power button and then the home button)
    Nothing has helped and I am forced to use assisted touch.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    No advice? I suppose I could try sacrificing an android to the apple gods.....

  • Face time has stopped working since update on iPad and iPhone

    My face time has stopped working since both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S did their iOS 6.1 update. They just say that a connection cannot be made, or FaceTime unavailable. Both devices are sitting beside each other, both have excellent wifi. If you try to FaceTime one of the devices, it will ring once and then lose the connection. Apple account details are all fine, FaceTime is switched on, on both. Kind of lost and frustrated now

    Hey guys,
    So I also noticed a few weeks ago facetime stopped working on my iphone but was still working on my ipad2 and macbook pro.
    Phone - iphone 4
    os version - 6.1.3
    carrier - at&t 14.2
    location - usa
    I use the same apple id for all devices
    I searched online for a fix and/or troubleshooting help. I tried alot of the suggestions on this discussion as well as others but nothing seemed to work. Out of frustration, I finally reached out to apple tech support. I went through the entire trouble shooting steps with an apple technician and was even transferred to a senior advisor for additional help. We tried everything from resetting passwords, resetting icloud accounts, resetting phone settings, checking network settings, resetting date & time, resetting location, making sure push and multitasking functionalities were working properly, etc. We spent a couple hours troubleshooting trying everything but nothing worked. The apple tech said I would have to restore the os and if that didn't work, the only other thing to do would be to send in my phone. But he did stress that I had to restore as a NEW device.
    I backed up my phone using iclould and my computer (everything is synced) and restored as a new device. I tested facetime and it worked, however my phone was back to factory position which is not ideal. So I went to itunes and restored my most resent backup. I got all my phone contents back but FaceTime no longer worked. I called the apple senior advisor back and he said I would not be able to restore from a backup because there seemed to be an issue with it that prevented FaceTime from working properly. So I backed up what I could to itunes and iCloud then restored my phone as new. After the restore, it prompted me to install the carrier software update which I did. Then I used itunes to sync my music, apps, contacts, mail, videos, pics, etc. I did this yesterday and facetime has been working properly since then. However certain things I was not able to recover.
    So far, these are the things I noticed have been lost with the restore:
    - all my settings (everything went back to default/factory)
    - voicemail messages greater than 30 days old
    - all text and iMessages (but I still have copies of imessage conversations on my iPad and mac)
    - data stored within apps (you start fresh like when you first downloaded the app. some apps i have online accounts that sync but most apps the data is lost)
    - screen display configurations
    - notes that were only on phone and not synced with an email account
    Out of all my research, this has been the only thing to get facetime working again. But on the downside, it does take a lot of time to backup, restore, re-sync, and then set up my phone similarly to how I previously had things. The big thing for me was the loss of my apps data. I wish there was a way to restore that. But when all is said and done, I'm glad to have FaceTime back on my phone.
    If you are not quite ready to restore, check out this discussion for other suggestions you can try first:

    I hope you guys find this useful.

  • "Save as PDF" stopped working...

    I purchased this add-on for my Adobe 8 version to convert my excel spreads into PDF's. It all the sudden stopped working. I click on the icon and nothing happens now. Any ideas?

    What add-on and what Adobe 8?
    Adobe is a company not an application and there is no add-on for the free Reader that creates PDF's so you're going to have to give a bit more information.

  • AirPrint has stopped working since updating iPad to iOS 7.02

    Since updating our iPhones and iPads to iOS 7.02 we seem to have lost the ability to use AirPrint, nor can we connect to the scanner of our HP Photosmart 6510 using VueScan.
    Is there a solution available now, or coming soon?

    Run the setup CD again.
    Setup a typical HP AirPrint Printer
    1. Insert the CD into the CD drive of the computer, and then wait a few seconds for the software installer to start.
    2. Accept the installation agreements, and then click Next . It might take several minutes for your computer to install the printer software.
    3. You will be asked to connect printer to computer with USB cable
    4. You will be ask how you want to connect to printer, select Network (Ethernet/Wireless) and then click Next.
    5. Setup will access computer and router for wireless settings.
    6. Setup will ask if you want to use wireless settings (SSID and Password) to setup printer. Select Yes and press Next.
    7. Setup will then send wireless settings to printer.
    8. Once printer is setup, you will be ask to remove USB cable.
    9. The printer is now ready for AirPrint.

  • Iphone 4s sound stopped working since update ?

    Ever since the leatest update (5.1) my Iphone's sound doesnt work? when i play music the volume button has disappeared and the keys on the side of the phone only turns the "ringer" up and down. Ive also tried double clicking the home button and swiping to that volume control but the nozzle disapeares when i touch it. The strangest thing is when i but headphones in my volume control all comes back ?
    Ive reset my phone, turned it off and on and restored it using itunes. What is wrong with it ???

    "Loads" of bovine excrement!!  Why don't you post links to some of those "loads of threads" discussing this.  Why didn't you post in one of those existing threads in the first place??
    Apple Store emplyees NEVER tell customers of "loads of complaints" or would be fired on the spot.  And, in your prior post you said "apples saying that it's defiantly not a software fault".

  • [Fixed...] wpa_supplicant and netcfg stopped working since updates

    Hello, I am new to the forums and have run into a problem with wpa_supplicant and netcfg (though I believe the problem resides with wpa_supplicant).
    A bit about me - This is my first "intermediate" linux distro (I tried fedora back when it was version 6 but didn't get terribly far with it). I have mostly been using Ubuntu (because it is out of the box and easy), but I ran out of use for an old laptop I had around and chose to install a minimalist distro on it (hence arch). The learning curve was a bit steep, but it is intersting and makes for a nice learning experience at the very least.
    The problem:
    I updated my system (which I do each time there is an available update on linux because it normally fixes things) on the 11th and everything was working great. However, my ip lease expired over the weekend (apparently) and as I am mostly a windows user (sorry, but it is true) I didn't notice it until today (when I went to check pacman for any updates and no longer had an internet connection).
    It appears that the last round of updates I installed included updates for wpa_supplicant in them and changed the way things are supposed to be done in the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file. It looked like so beforehand (and still does though I have attempted to rewrite with the new format - sadly that hasn't worked out and I am here as a result):
    network={
    ssid="zelda"
    psk=<... long key here> # note - Like I said, this was working before, I removed the key on purpose.
    ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
    And here is what I have attempted with my new wpa_supplicant.conf file:
    network={
    ssid="zelda"
    psk=<... long key here>
    scan_ssid=1
    priority=1
    ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
    Here are the steps I am taking to attempt and access the internet (manually):
    sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
    sudo wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    <wait a bit>
    sudo dhcpcd wlan0
    dhcpcd[2281]: version 5.2.12 starting
    dhcpcd[2281]: wlan0: rebinding lease of <IP>
    dhcpcd[2281]: wlan0: carrier lost
    dhcpcd[2281]: wlan0: carrier acquited
    dhcpcd[2281]: wlan0: rebinding lease of <IP>
    dhcpcd[2281]: wlan0: boradcasting for a lease
    dhcpcd[2281]: wlan0: carrier lost
    dhcpcd[2281]: wlan0: carrier acquired
    dhcpcd[2281]: wlan0: rebinding lease of <IP>
    dhcpcd[2281]: wlan0: broadcasting for a lease
    dhcpcd[2281]: wlan0: carrier lost
    dhcpcd[2281]: wlan0: carrier acquired
    dhcpcd[2281]: wlan0: rebinding lease for <IP>
    dhcpcd[2281]: timed out
    And if I attempt to use netcfg (in code because it uses spaces):
    sudo netcfg zelda
    :: zelda up [BUSY]
    > WPA Authentication/Association Failed
    [FAIL]
    Here is my /etc/network.d/zelda file (like I said, this used to work. I haven't modified this file though):
    CONNECTION='wireless'
    DESCRIPTION='Home network'
    INTERFACE='wlan0'
    SECURITY='wpa-config'
    WPA_CONF='/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
    IP='dhcp'
    Any help would be appreciated.
    <edit>
    Well, this is what I like to see. Apparently it wasn't as difficult as I was making it out to be, and the second wpa_supplicant.conf file I posted (the new one) works. I just had to do a reboot for it to notice the changes (though this does lead me to wonder if a daemon caches the wpa_supplicant entries...). It is all working now.
    </edit>

    You are trying to use netcfg-menu.
    The error message is telling you that you need to install the "dialog" package to use netcfg-menu.
    Solution: install the "dialog" package (pacman -S dialog).
    edit:  You can also use netcfg without the dialog package. For example, "netcfg -u <profile>", "netcfg -l". See "netcfg --help" for more options.

  • Has anyone had the "equals" key in the numeric pad stop working since installing the Boot Camp 3.3 update

    Has anyone had the "equals" key in the numeric pad stop working since installing the Boot Camp 3.3 update?

    I have been an ardent user of aperture for years now and got used to the great workflow. Ever since version 1 I have been enjoying working with aperture. It is the workflow that kept me from changing.
    I got a new MacPro 12 GB ram, 4TB HDD my library mostly indexed files sits on a raided 2TB for maximum of comfort. I did this in an effort to keep me from writing the posts I writing lately. I do not have the time rally to do this but reality is something different.
    Today I am working on a job I need to finish quickly and in aperture workflow manner. So I switched to full screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen mode and after pressing 'H' for the HUD my screen started flickering. please look at the video I posted in my flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mawas/4719742585/
    Now this is the second time this happened in a short time after I got a new mac and upgraded to 10.6.4! After the screen had jammed up : http://gallery.me.com/masuwa/100103 I needed to hard boot my mac I am getting nervous!

    Sorry to hear that you have issues after the update-
    Have you tried to uninstall and then install the app again after the update? This may be needed with some apps when you update Android.
    Regarding contacts, please continue that discussion in the first thread: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z2/phonebook-contacts-not-working-since-update/m-p/972365

  • "Save as PDF" quit working in FM 9

    I've been using Save As PDF to create PDFs of our books, and it's worked great. But yesterday, it stopped working. I probably did something or changed some setting, but I have no idea what it could be.
    Now, when I click "Set" in the PDF Setup dialog box, FrameMaker quickly runs through the files in the book (the file names flash by in the lower left corner), but then it stops. Turns out, it also creates a .tps file of 0 size in the destination folder. There is no error message; it just stops.
    I can still create PDFs with the Print function, but I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me get Save As PDF working again.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I have version 9.0p250 of FM. I also have Acrobat Pro with Distiller. They were installed together.
    When Save as PDF was working, the Distiller always came up as a tab on the Task Bar. But it doesn't get that far anymore.
    When I use the Print Book feature, the Distiller tab doesn't come up but I see the Distiller icon twirling in the system tray. I assume that's how Print Book is supposed to work.
