Suddenly broken: "To execute 'save as PDF' command you must have Acrobat Distiller 5.05 or higher"

I've been using FM9 with Acrobat Pro 9 just fine for months on end, and suddenly FM9 "forgot" about Acrobat Pro 9. I've reinstalled the entire suite TWICE.
Googling the error messages reveals that this is a very very old problem; I'm quite surprised to see it again in TCS. But all the suggestions I've read so far have not worked.
Any new ideas?
BTW, this is one reason why I am not planning to buy TCS for my entire team; at least not until these sorts of problems are fixed.

Dee, a couple of thoughts:
2) The workarounds, using .ps and Distiller, or print-to-the PDF  driver, result in a PDF with broken links. None of the FM9 hypertext  links work, not even the TOC. This is what I'll have to ship to my  customers, a PDF with broken links.
In the FM Print dialog box, did you activate the Generate Acrobat Data checkbox and uncheck the Print to File checkbox? You need to Generate Acrobat data to enable hyperlinks.
3) I had installed all the  updates... old Forum posts suggested that the updates might be the  problem! So I've tried it both with and without the updates...
It's possible. However, forum posters tend not to be mainstream users... so I'd suppose that the updates work for >95% of users, who don't have any reason to post because the updates work.
Also, as noted before, you didn't provide any system information... but if you're on XP, I'm assuming you installed the Microsoft HotFix for PostScript printers (including PDFs).

  • Xref table is missing when a pdf file is created with acrobat distiller 9.0.0

    Hi
    I created a pdf file with the new acrobat distiller 9.0.0 and i noticed that the xref table is missing in it.
    Whereas the pdf files which created in older version (acrobat distiller 7.0.5) had the xref tables.
    As i have written a perl script to open the pdf files (used a ready made module downloaded form cpan.org). The script works fine with all old pdf files but fails when it tries to open the pdf files created with distiller 9.0.0.
    Could i know is any thing changed on acrobat distiller 9.0.0 ?
    Thanks
    Balaji.

    PDF documents of version 1.5 and higher can contain cross-reference streams. Read the PDF Reference.

  • Portal Runtime Error: You must have permissions to execute this iView

    Hey
    I have imported Business Package for SAP CRM 4.0 50.2.4 / 60.2.3 and running it on a SAP Portal 6.0.
    When I using the role com.sap.pct.crm.PortalAdmin I get the following Error Message when im accessing most of the iviews in the role:
    Portal Runtime Error
    An exception occurred while processing a request for :
    iView : pcd:portal_content/com.sap.portal.migrated/ep_5.0/roles/com.sap.pct.crm.PortalAdmin/pkmadmin/indexadmin/com.sap.pct.crm.pkmadmin.IndexAdmin

    You must have permissions to execute this iView.
    See the details for the exception ID in the log file
    The iView i want to access is the Index Administration iview and the Configuration iview belonging to the Portal KM workset.
    I've found a note on exactly this problem:
    Note 751217 - Not the necessary permission to execute CRM iViews
    And i have done what they describe in the solution by importing the new package and give myself the PortalAdminAuthorization role.
    I still get the same error message. Got any tips beside sending an OSS message?
    And yes, I have checked the permission for the iviews, and i got the role super_admin_role.
    Best Regards

    Hello Sekhar,
    It may be due to some authorization issues.
    Run your application in the portal and at the same time check the T-Code SU53. Contact your BASIS/Security team to resolve your authorization issues.
    Guess it will really solve your problem.

  • TURBOTAX 2014 CD DOES NOT PERMIT OFFLINE PRINT OR SAVE TO PDF.  YOU CAN ONLY SAVE TO PDF OR PRINT IF ONLINE.  BIG SECURITY ISSUE.  INTUIT IN WSJ ARTICLE BLAMES APPLE, SAYING APP STORE SOFTWARE RESULTED IN THIS.  TRUE?

    Starting this year, Turbotax CD/download versions will not permit people to print tax forms when offline. If you try to print while not connected to the Internet, you receive the warning “There was a problem connecting to Intuit’s Secure Print Service.  Please check your Internet connection or try again later.”  Indeed, Paragraph 9 of the Intuit Software End User License Agreement states:  "You may save your return as a PDF file and understand it may be processed on Intuit servers, not as part of the Software."
    Even if you wish to protect your data by not exposing it to the Internet, Turbotax will not let you without sharing your entire return first with them.  They prohibit you from only printing locally on home, cable-connected printers.
    The result of this is that people who tried to be safe by never going online with tax data, are this year being forced by Intuit software to expose all their sensitive tax information files to the Internet and Intuit print server, even though they do not wish to. Turbotax is putting you at risk.
    On Feb 19 the Wall Street Journal quoted an Intuit spokesperson blaming Apple:  According to Julie Miller, an Intuit spokeswoman, TurboTax made the change “because the Mac product requires a special, third-party code library to support offline printing.” And she says, “based on Apple App Store guidelines, we could no longer distribute the third-party library with our software.”   She said the change in the TurboTax Mac software was first made for 2013 tax returns, but last year customers had the option of printing returns without being connected to the Internet.
    So is Apple to blame that I now have to expose my sensitive tax data to Intuit just to be allowed to save to PDF on my hard disk?  And it's all Apple's fault?
    Can anyone clarify this?

    Thank you for this an the other posts.  Particularly for Barney,
    I have just discovered that Turbotax actually permits you to print (and save to PDF) documents from the Help
    Center built into the program, even when you are OFFLINE.  Works just like normal printing is supposed to.  It just won't let you print actual tax forms. So I guess they were willing to violate Apple’s rules when you print information from their help center offline, but you just can't do the same with your own tax forms.  Clearly this shows that what Intuit told Forbes was a fabrication.
    They do in fact have the proper code in the program for printing and saving to PDF.  They just deny you usage of that code for printing your tax returns, which they want to copy.  I don’t think there can be any doubt about what they are doing.  Surely they are not deceiving apple by allowing the limited print function?
    We can only hope that a brave journalist will challenge them on this, since Intuit will not respond to customers.
    Thank you for any views on this points.

  • How to save a pdf so you can edit in reader

    I have a PDF save in Acrobat Pro. How do I save it so a person with just Acrobat Reader can edit it?

    What sort of edits are you talking about? Reader users are pretty much limited to filling form fields and adding comments/markups. They cannot edit the regular page contents, add/remove pages, and most other types of modifications to the document.

  • How to save a PDF document that I have received

    I apologize if this is the wrong group but I know there is a way to save a doc in the print menu but this is a bit different.
    I received a pdf doc as an attachment to an email and I need to save it. I am in the Preview window with the doc open and I go to File/Save as. Another window opens and says "Without the owner password, you do not have permission to save this document" I looked at the print window under PDF and it won't let me save a pdf as a pdf.
    The sender doesn't have a password.
    How do I save this doc?
    Andy

    The sender might not have one, but the creator (owner) does. Why do you have to save it? It exists in your attachments folder.

  • Disabling "Save as..." popup in Acrobat Distiller printer driver

    Hi!
    We are using an application which is automatically generating a pdf file using the Acrobat Distiller printer driver, but recently one workstation start poping up a Save as... window each time a file is generated (it is very annoying since this application is generating a lot of different reports).
    How we could avoid having to confirm each time the name of the file? Registry setting?
    Thanks.

    Already did that.
    If I remember correctly it was something in the registry... still searching.

  • How do I save a PDF as v1.4 in Acrobat Pro?

    Hello,
    I am currently using the Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I am being sent documents that I must change to v1.4.
    So far I have been sent v1.3, v1.5, v1.6, v 1.7.
    I MUST change the versions of the PDFs provided to v1.4 because I then send the documents to someone else who uses software that ONLY accepts v1.4 PDFs.
    Please tell me how to do this in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. If it CANNOT be done in X Pro, what software do I need to do this?
    One of the people sending me files has asked how do do this in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro also. Are the directions the same in both versions?
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks George,
    Just wanted to add that in Adobe X, select Save As > Optimized PDF > Make compatible with  gets you to a drop down list where you can choose the version of Acrobat you need. In this case Acrobat 5.0 and later.

  • How can I save to PDF version 1.3 in Acrobat X

    I have tried the Save As > Reduce Size and it only goes back to version 1.6 using the Acrobat 4.0 selection. That is the earliest selection available through the menu.  Is there another way that I am not seeing?

    The only 2 ways is using Reduce File Size and Optimize PDF, both available on the Save As menu.

  • My Acrobat XI Stanndard will not open some .pdf.  I get an error stating I MUST use Acrobat reader version 9 or higher.  Help!

  • Can't Save As PDF

    I am working with DITA files in Frame 8, and am unable to save a generated Frame file as a PDF. I keep getting these errors:
    "To execute "Save as PDF" command you must have Acrobat Distiller version 5.05 or higher installed."
    "To execute "Save as PDF" command you must have PDF Job Options defined.
    I have Acrobat Distiller 8 installed, so I don't know why I'm getting the first error. I opened Distiller, and still got the error.
    Also, I did try to set job options using Format > Document > PDF Setup. On the PDF Setup dialog box, the only job option in the PDF Job Options drop-down list was High Quality Print. When I clicked Set, I got a message stating that "The selected PDF Job Option does not existing in the current installation. Either create this Job Option or select an available Job Option."
    How do you create a valid job option? How do you get it to show up in the drop-down list? I looked at the Adobe PDF properties in Print Setup, and the Default Settings show several job options including the High Quality Print option.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Structured files means you are working with DITA and tagging your
    information. If you are working in Structured FrameMaker it will have
    Adobe FrameMaker (Structured) in the title bar of your FrameMaker doc.
    Attached is a screen shot of what structured FM looks like.  If you select
    View > Element  Boundaries as tags and don't see something similar to the
    attachment, you are working in regular FrameMaker.  If you are working in
    regular FrameMaker, then you might have better luck posting into that
    forum.

    Can't Save As PDF
    I posted in the Framemaker Structured  Forum. I have not received any
    further responses.
    We are using FrameMaker 8.0. I do not know what you mean by regular or
    structured. We actually create a separate file for each state of the
    directory. Each file is then made into a pdf file. The pdf files are
    then joined together for the printer. Whether using the File Save As or
    by using Select File - Print there are no errors received. It seems to
    work fine, but when you open the pdf file there is random information
    missing.... sometimes graphics, sometimes text.. not always the same if
    you delete and start over....

  • Calendar "save as pdf" question

    When saving a calendar as a pdf, there doesn't seem to be any pdf quality settings for saving the calendar. I'm wondering because if I take that pdf file to a printer, is the file of lesser quality than if I uploaded from iPhoto to Apple for printing. So, when you use the File>Print>Save as PDF command, are you getting a highly compressed file or a high quality file?

    FWIW I also ran a test and compared three versions of the pdf file.
    1 - the one iPhoto creates in the invisible HD/private/var/tmp/folders.501/Temporaryitems/iPhoto file
    2 - from the Preview mode
    3 - from the Print to PDF mode
    All three were identical in size.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • How can I use VBA in Outlook to "Save as pdf"???

    I want to create a macro in Outlook 2010 that will create a pdf file of the open email... using the "Save as pdf" command. How can this be done?
    I have looked all over the internet, and have not found a simple answer...
    Please can someone help me.

    There is only one documented and supported way to create PDF files from a
    VBA application, and that is via the Adobe PDF printer. You can set the
    output filename programatically as I described. Anything else that you may
    be able to discover in the type library is not meant for you to use. Adobe
    can (and has in the past) changed these internal interfaces without notice,
    so even if you could make something work, it would be a dangerous way of
    implementing things. Any small update to your Acrobat installation would
    put your software at risk.
    I understand that sometimes this is frustrating because we think that
    "there must be an easy way to do xyz"... Try to come up with a different
    way of doing things.

  • Save as PDF no longer works in Safari in 10.5.1

    Since this has to do with the printing interface I'm guessing this is where the post goes.
    I found that saving a webpage as a pdf no longer works from Safari 3.0.4 in OS 10.5.1. The print dialog box won't go away after selecting save as pdf so you have to force quit Safari. It looks like the save dialog goes behind the print dialog and I can't get to it.
    Anybody else have this issue? I found that other people were having printing of pdf problems, but I didn't see this one.
    -Dan

    Never mind. Seems that Default Folder V 3.0.2 was causing the issue. I killed the Default Folder task and problem is gone. Time to buy an upgrade.

  • Prevent Insertion of Author Name in Save as PDF

    The standard Print dialogue box features a button/menu "PDF" with a "Save as PDF" choice. By default, the user account's full name is inserted in the Author field when using this option. (I shall not comment on Apple's wisdom -- or lack thereof -- in setting such a default.)
    Others have asked before how to prevent this behaviour, eg
    Save as PDF
    How to Print to PDF anonymously
    Print - Save as PDF
    and various solutions have been suggested, some more ingenious than others. However, they do not actually answer the question.
    I am aware I can use various methods to remove the metadata afterwards, or use an Automator action, or simply delete it before the PDF file is created, but any of them means more, rather than less, work. So my question is simply this:
    How can I modify the default and prevent the OS from inserting the full name in the Author field in the first place?
    Thanks.

    thanks for the reply:
    don't know if this some sort of a display redraw issue:
    but if I just hit enter I get the file saved as untitled.wav (which is floating in the middle of the screen not in the correct location)
    and the file ends up in "My Music Folder" (which I never use, but can't change folders either)
    -good grief I hate M$ for their My . . . crap folders
    the system is using similar Intel-GMA integrated graphics as my main workstation
    the only difference is processors and the chipset is one generation back
    my main workstation has 965ry and the backup has 945g
