The Acrobat PDFMaker Server could not be loaded

Hi All, Using Acrobat 8 pro on xp system inc Office 07. Suddenly today i am unable to create a PDF from any doc unless using PDF printer option. My COM add in tabs vanished. I have uninstalled booted etc then reinstalled no change. I have also run the installer in repair mode, no joy. I have managed to recover the COM add ins from the disabled option for all my windows progs such as word etc but all come up with the warning " The Acrobat PDFMaker Server could not be loaded" This also counts for creating a PDF direct from the PDFMaker opening page. Any ideas anyone as i believe the problem lies with Acrobat rather than the windows components.

"PDFMaker server could not be loaded"
I just did the following to my xp, office 2003 system
1. updated to sp3 again
2. update to .NET on most recent version
3. deleted blocking of old formats such as old ppt, dbf etc on office 2003
4. put patch for 2007 read on 2003
5. uploaded Adobe 8.0.1.2
6. then tried to used pdf maker and got the deadly: "PDFMaker server could not be loaded"
7. then went through usual suspects of reloading, removing and then reloading, etc, even redid the dlls, no use
8. if this seems to be as wide spread a problem as it appears on the web boards would one not think adobe in the kindness of its heart would fix it
9. i can print to pdf and it is editable
10. the adobe convert logo is now missing when i look at the files on windows explorer and right click, so somehow the upgraed washed out all functions
11. well at least it worked for a few days, better than microsoft, but you guys are catching up fast
12. in my companies i tell my people, if all else fails listen to the customer! it works

  • PDFMaker Server could not be loaded

  • The database DLL 'crdb_oracle' could not be loaded.

    I have built a .net 2.0 website that is using Crystal Report Viewer with an Oracle 10g Database. All works well on my local machine but when deployed to the web server I get the following error:
    Failed to load database information. Details: The database DLL 'crdb_oracle.dll' could not be loaded. Error in File C:\DOCUME1\DMTEST\ASPNET\LOCALS1\Temp\test {BB80E9A1-92CE-402D-A52A-47ECE4330794}.rpt: Failed to load database information.
    I have run the Crystal Reports for .Net Framework 2.0 setup and have located the 'crdb_oracle.dll' file in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\2.7\Bin directory. Am I missing a step in this process.
    The Web Server is a Windows 2000 box.
    Thank,

    I am having a similar problem.  However, I do not have CR installed, but want to use only CR from within VS 2008 and deploy a ASP.NET reporting app to IIS.  If I create a simple report with no parameters it will run fine in both VS and IIS.  However, if I add a parameter to the report such as UserId={?Parameter1} then on execution, the report will prompt for the parameter and then throw this error, "The database DLL 'crdb_oracle' could not be loaded."
    I have added full privileges to the ASP.NET, IUSR, and IWAM for the Oracle folder.  I also search the hard drive and find only one OSI.dll and no crdb_oracle.dll.
    Can you tell me if my scenario is supported with VS 2008 only?
    I am connecting to the DB like this:
                ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
                connectionInfo.ServerName = "Driver={Microsoft ODBC for ORACLE};Server=localhost;Port=1521;";
                connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "dev";
                connectionInfo.UserID = "...";
                connectionInfo.Password = "...";
                TableLogOnInfos tableLogOnInfos = CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo;
                foreach (TableLogOnInfo tableLogOnInfo in tableLogOnInfos)
                    tableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
    Thank you,

  • The Adobe PDF Maker could not be loaded

    With Acrobat 9, XP and Office 2007...
    When in Word 2007, I click  "Adobe" on the toolbar to convert the Word file to pdf. However, when I do this, I get the message "The Adobe PDF Maker could not be loaded" and am given the option to run Repair Mode.
    The conversion works fine from Print|Adobe pdf but this takes away some of the convenience of using the program.
    I've run Repair Mode and no change in results. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat. Any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Doubt this is the problem, but it might be worth a check. In past versions of OFFICE, you sometimes had to allow PDF Maker as a trusted macro. Haven't heard about the problem with AA9, but it might be a possibility.

  • The class or interface could not be loaded...?

    I'm doing a simple link code. I've tried many diferrent ways to do this but this error keeps comming up saying The class or interface could not be loaded...
    home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoURL);
    function gotoURL(event:MouseEvent):Void
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("my site"));
    This is the most recent method I've tried in doing this. I've tried changing the publishing settings of the document to and from Action Script 3.0- using an import command. But thats too complicated. I know this is simple... but can anyone please help?

    Thanks, but whenever I change the publish settings back to As3 the flash tween gets caught in a loop and it doesn't end, it just re-runs the swf over and over again. I'm not sure how to fix this problem now.
    I even tried to add a stop(); at the beginning of the new script.
    stop();
    home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoURL);
    function gotoURL(event:MouseEvent):Void
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.knirv.com"));
    I'm still getting an error message saying "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Void."...However, I'm sure your advice to upload to my server will solve this. Much thanks for the expertise

  • The specified cache entry could not be loaded during initialization

    The OBIEE server is failing every few minutes of working.
    I saw in the NQServer.log:
    The specified cache entry could not be loaded during initialization.
    Cache entry, '/home/oracleadmin/OracleBIData/cache/NQS_rprt_734086_39693_00000001.TBL', is invlaid due to either non-existing file name, size does not match, exceeding maximum space limit nor exceeding maximum entry limit, and it's been removed.
    I checked the directory and there is no space limitation.
    Can someone please clarify?
    The server/Config/NQSConfig.INI is as follows:
    [ CACHE ]
    ENABLE = YES;
    DATA_STORAGE_PATHS = "/home/oraceladmin/OracleBIData/cache" 2000 MB;
    MAX_ROWS_PER_CACHE_ENTRY = 100000; // 0 is unlimited size
    MAX_CACHE_ENTRY_SIZE = 1 MB;
    MAX_CACHE_ENTRIES = 1000;
    POPULATE_AGGREGATE_ROLLUP_HITS = NO;
    USE_ADVANCED_HIT_DETECTION = NO;
    MAX_SUBEXPR_SEARCH_DEPTH = 7;

    It's more than enough if you are using it for .tmp and .tbl files storage. Have you checked work_directory_path in NQSConfig.ini file .Is it on diffrent mount point.Usually we wil create a seperate mount point and use that as storage location.
    b. Instead of using SAPurgeAllCache() , can I add shell script which delete the files fromt the cache directory and the execute run-sa.sh?You need to understand diffrence between OBIEE rpd cache and .tbl and .tmp file. SAPurgeAllCache() will purge cache from RPD.It wont purge .tmp or .tbl files.These files will be stored in some physical location.When a report start executing .tmp file will start evoluting and after execution of report it will be purged by OBIEE server automatically.
    see this blog for some insight into this topic

    Hi,
    It will depend on your infrastructure, I am not sure and have limited knowledge on netowrks, but in my current landscape both the system were in same domain, but  still i had to maintain proxy configuration.
    Since it giving authentication error, it feel it could be proxy error.
    Please refer below links which talks about same error :
    http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/FAQ.html#smtpauth
    Or else i think it is issue with port.

  • Error message received: The iTunes update server could not be contacted

    Please help! I'm using a windows 7 laptop. The iTunes store is not displaying images, and if I try to import a CD it will not access the gracenote database for track info.Tried updating but got the error message 'the itunes update server could not be contacted'. I'm accessing the internet via a Tmobile dongle and all other web content is working . I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, checked my driver are up to date and that my AVG firewall allows iTunes through.I have disabled the windows firewall.I tried disabling the AVG one completely too but that had no effect so I'm stuck - can anyone help?

    Not sure if you already fixed this problem or not, but I recently upgraded my laptop to Win7 and ran into the same issue.  My Internet connection was working fine, I could even browse the store within iTunes, just couldn't download any software or firmware updates.  I fixed it by editing the "hosts" file located in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder.  Open it in notepad with admin rights (right click notepad & select "Run as administrator").  Uncomment (delete the hash symbol "#") the last 2 lines or the ones that consist of "127.0.0.1   localhost" and "::1   localhost".  Restart iTunes and see if this works (if you haven't already found a solution).

    My internet works fine and I have tried back dozens of times with same result.

    Did you ever figure out the problem? "Contact Software Manufacturer"?? That sounds ominous... I've got the same issue and I'm pretty durn aggravated right about now....
    Thanks!

  • The itunes update server could not be contacted. Ran diagnostic and followed many support reccomendations with on success.

    For at least the last 36 hours I have been unable to download updates from the itunes server for either itunes itself, or for iOS for my iphone (I need this since I am locked out of my phone). I was able to get around the problem of not being able to update itunes from the itunes server by downloading 11.0.4.4 from apple.com instead, but I don't believe I can do this for the latest iOS.
    I have tried troublshooting from the support instructions for hours with no luck. Itunes is the only program that is having internet connectivity issues. I have tried disabling windows firewall, completely uninstalling my antivirus, and logging in/running itunes as an administrator. I have purged my hosts file and made sure that LAN settings are set to auto-detect. I have rebooted my router. There are no third party programs running that filter internet connections.
    What else can I try?

    I have completed the Advanced iTunes Store Troublshooting workthrough and my problem persists.
    For reference I will detail the steps I have followed from the Advanced Support link iOS *08* provided above.
    Isolate the issue:
    1) the problem is with iTunes (I can connect to other secure websites, including the apple webpage + login).
    2) verified the problem is not with the network (other devices on my network can connect and download iTunes updates).
    3) I cannot resolve the problem by connecting to another network.
    4) I have created inbound and outbound rules to allow all traffic to/from ports 80, 443, 3689, 5297,  5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999. I have allowed these ports full access to all network types and all programs. I have also made sure that all apple products, especially itunes, are allowed in the list of windows firewall exceptions.
    5) My date, time, and timezone are correct.
    6) I am using iTunes as an administrator. I have posted the results of the diagnostic network tests above in my Original Post.
    Blocked by software Firewall:
    I have allowed an exception in the firewall for itunes and bonjour.
    It seems to be the case that:
    "If there's no firewall preventing access, but the iTunes Store still does not work while other Internet services (websites) work, the iTunes Store may be blocked by your configuration."
    Blocked By Configuration:
    I have run iTunes Diagnostics (results above) and the "Secure link to iTunes Store" section did not pass
    I opened IE, made sure I am "Never dialing a connection"
    My LAN settings are set to "Automatically detect settings"
    I do not have any proxy settings
    I have unchecked "Check for server cerificate revocation*" under Advanced IE properties
    I have enabled "Use SSL 3.0" and "Use TLS 1.0"
    I saved and restarted. Still no joy.
    Rebuild Network Information
    I flushed the DNS Resolver Cache
    As mentioned above I reset the host file to default, and also tried to alternate method outlined in the support document involving creatings a "Copy of hosts" file and moving, editing, and returning the file to drivers/etc.
    I then restarted.
    Please Help! This is getting rediculous!

  • Federated free busy information - the recipients mailbox server could not be contacted

    Hi guys, really hoping someone can help with a free busy issue I'm having.  
    I've configured a new forest with exchange 2013 installed in preparation for moving all AD objects to the newly created forest to resolve a single label domain issue.  The source forest has exchange 2010 SP2 installed.  I've setup a trust between
    the forests and dns is resolving okay.  Federation has been setup for each of the forests and sharing configured but free busy info isn't available.  When trying to retrieve FB from the new exchange 2013 mailboxes i get "the recipients mailbox
    server could not be contacted"  Trying to lookup FB from new forest to source "the recipients server could not be contacted"  I've followed the troubleshooting steps in the following link: http://johanveldhuis.nl/en/troubleshooting-federared-sharing/
    which are all okay except when I run Test-FederationTrust -UserIdentity [email protected]  On the exchange 2013 forest all tests are successful, on the exchange 2010 forest all tests are successful with the exception of token request which
    returns: failed to request validation token.  Any help on this really appreciated

    Is this problem just occures when opening excel file? How about other office program?
    Did you make any change to your Office, such as install language package, etc. that may cause this problem?
    Since your problem is specific with Office program, it would be better to provide your question at Office Forum.
