"The PDF could not be generated"

I need to download a page to my hard drive and when I click "Printer-friendly Version" I get the a pop-up box with the message, "The PDF could not be generated".
That's it. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Got a link to the site that has the PDF? Sounds like it's being dynamically generated but there could be something wrong.

Integrated into WD application means -> Interactive form generated in SFP transaction is used in abap webdynpro application.
Offline scenarion -> Since it is an interactive form, user will fill the form offline and submit it by email.From the webdyn pro appliaction user will download the form to the local desktop.Fills it offline and submits the form.

Cannot save as PDF - "Could not save a copy as (filename) because the file is already in use..."

I have a number of PSD files I've created and I'm trying to save them as PDFs.
I can Save for Web and Devices, I can save as a .gif, .eps., and every other format I've tested, but I cannot save as a PDF. I get the error:
"Could not save a copy as (filename) because the file is already in use or was left open by another application."
I'm running Adobe Master Collection CS5 with Photoshop CS 5.5 (12.0.4 x64) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.
I have a 928 GB HD with 697 GB free.
I have rebooted and tried saving the files immediately after I reboot. I have killed my virus scanner. I have killed a number of other possible culprits including Acrotray.exe and CS5ServiceManager.ext
I have run Process Explorer as recommended by Microsoft and found no applications using the file. I've also tried saving the file to my external hard drive and/or renaming the file with only rare luck.
Nothing seems to fix it.
The boards seem to suggest Adobe isn't taking responsibility for this and pointing it back to the OS or other software. I'm willing to believe them if someone can show me how/where to kill whatever process it is - but at this point, all my indicators point back to Photoshop.

Here is a clip from a past post where user could not drag and drop files to hard drive.
To my great relief I have now sorted this issue and offer the following as the Correct Answer. My sincere and grateful thanks go to Curt and Yammer, above, who have helped me so much in sorting this Windows 7 issue which is clearly very relevant to Bridge users also. Any slowness to grasp what they have been saying is down to me!
The key to solving this issue lies is understanding that in terms of Windows 7 Security, every internal or external hard drive, plus folders, sub-folders and files thereon has an OWNER. Also each OWNER has a certain level of PERMISSION to do things such as moving files to a different folder, deleting or re-naming them etc. If you try to do things that you don't currently have Permission to do, that is when you get an ‘Access Denied’ error message. Also your system has an Admistrator or Administrators and at the outset you need to ensure through the Control Panel that you are listed as one of them. .
If, like me, you didn't realise these things, (and why would you if Microsoft or your computer or hard drive suppliers couldn't be bothered to really make sure you knew about them), then trying to fathom the ‘Access Denied’ problem becomes a stressful and frustrating nightmare as I can testify having spent a week at it!
The steps that I took to resolve the issue and which I believe now constitute the 'Correct Answer' are as follows:
First make sure that you have Administrator rights on your system via the Control Panel
Next ‘right click’ on the Drive whose files you want to gain full access to, for example the drive that your pictures are stored on, and click on 'Properties'.
Under the Security tab you will see a list of Groups and Users on this drive and the Permissions that they have to do things.
Before doing anything to edit these Permissions, first click on the Advanced button. This opens another window with a tab showing the Owner of this drive.
Click on the Owner tab and if you are not already listed as the owner, make yourself the owner by selecting your name from the list. I believe it should appear there if you are an admistrator or user. (In my case at this stage the owner was initially shown as an obscure string of numbers and letters which I believe identified the drive when it was connected to the lap top I was using before I upgraded my machine)
Now be sure to check the box that says "Replace Owner on Subcontainers and Objects" and the click Apply. On completion of this step, the drive in question and all the folders, subfolders and files thereon should now be 'owned' by you. You could check this out by right clicking on a particular folder then clicking Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner. Your name should appear. So far so simples!
Now go back to the Security Tab for your drive (Step 2 / 3 above) and look at the Permissions you currently have. Your aim now is to allow yourself 'Full Control.' If you don’t currently have this level of permission click Edit, select your name on the list, check ‘Full Control’ and 'Apply' the change.
I think I'm right in saying that at this point whilst still working in the Drive directory you are now given the option of ticking boxes which allow you to, in effect, cascade the permission you have just granted yourself to all the files and folders on that drive. Tick the box to allow this and Windows should then take care of the rest.If I'm not quite correct here then in my particular case, for example, all my images were stored on my external drive. The top level, or 'parent' folder in which all my pictures could be found was the 'My Pictures' folder and I had created a number of folders and subfolders ('child ' folders) within that folder. The permissions I gave to the Parent folder – My Pictures – were cascaded down through the Child folders.
On completion of the above step I tested the result in Windows Explorer by dragging a few files back and forth between folders and it now worked perfectly - I was now able to move / delete / rename etc all files without now getting the dreaded access denied message. What a sense of relief! This meant that I could now open Bridge normally rather than having to right click it and 'Run As Admistrator' - albeit that is a very useful thing to do until you get the problem sorted as described.

The document "view.do.pdf" could not be exported as "view.do.pdf".

Just recently I have been getting the following message when trying to safe a document as a pdf "The document “view.do.pdf” could not be exported as “view.do.pdf”. I updated all of my software and cannot figure out why I cannot save a document from the web as a pdf.
Thank you,

How exactly are you trying to Export it?
Can you right click or control+click on it & use Save As... ?

What action dom i take for this error message "C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\physics.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences"?

I get this message when I try to download a pdf file from a website.

This is a new error. There used to be no problem.

Do you have any setting for MP3 in Tools > Options > Applications ?
You usually need the QuickTime plugin to play MP3 files on Windows because that is the only plugin that supports that file extension if there is no MIME type specified to play the file with another plugin like Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.

Crystal Reports VS 2008 "The request could not be submitted for background processing"

Hi,
I am going to try to explain this issue the best I can. Please let me know if you need any other information or have any ideas as I have exhausted my resources. We have an ASP.NET application that has highly formatted crystal reports in them that the users can export as PDFs. All reports export without a problem when the application is run off of our desktops. The reports use a sql server authenticated user, executing stored procedures, and each subreport is linked by the main parameter. We are using Visual Studio 2008 version 3.5 SP1 with Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1. We have designed the reports in Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (11.5.12.1838) and imported them into the ASP.NET application. When trying to export the reports as PDFs from the development or production servers, we get the error message below for some, not all, reports:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800002AD): Error in File C:\Windows\TEMP\KeyAccountProfile {9FA5C095-77A2-425D-AC6B-8BB66B435336}.rpt: The request could not be submitted for background processing. at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportSourceClass.Export(ExportOptions pExportOptions, RequestContext pRequestContext) at CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.EromReportSourceBase.ExportToStream(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
We have cleared the temp directory on the servers before exporting and are still receiving the error. We have installed Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio (10.5.2.0) on both servers. I have identified the underlying issue to one stored procedure/subreport that is causing the report to fail. The weird thing is, when we change the connection to point to development, the stored procedure/subreport runs fine for the report that generates an error when run from production, and the data is the exact same. I have tried rebuilding the subreport but the error still appears even though it runs fine for other reports.
I have been through the document below, and othe similar issues in the forums, but still have not found a resolution. I was trying to use the "modules" application put since this is an ASP.NET application I am unsure of which executable I should be looking at.

Thanks in advance for your assistance,

OK.. I did some more investigating on this today. I have found out when I move the sub report that generates the error under another sub report, the sub report in question runs without issue. But when I try and move the sub report that produces the error above any other sub report, the error still generates. Can this get any weirder.... FYI.. there is a total of ten sub reports on this report.

Hi Brad
I'm not sure that Modules would show us anything in this case, so let's try a few other things:
1) Make sure you are using SP 1 for Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio:
Crystal Reports for VS 2005 and VS 2008 Updates & Runtime Downloads
2) Seeing as this works on dev, this may be some db inconsistency so enabling the report option "Verify on 1st Print" will be a good idea.
3) Double check the database client and make sure the same client is used on dev and deployed systems. Actually I take back my Modules negative as this is where it may prove useful. Once you have the Modules logs, look at who is loading the crpe32.dll, then look at that process and see the client dlls.
4) Check the printer driver; see if there are any updates. Try a different printer driver.
Ten subreports is not too bad, though not that good either as you are loading the report engine with at minimum 11 simultaneous reports (each subreport is considered to be a report). If a subreport is in a details section and the details section returns a 100 records, you are running 100 + 1 reports. This may lead to memory issues, which may lead to the error.
If I was a betting man, I'd put most of my money on the printer driver (based on your last addition to your post). What ever money I had left would go to some database issue (be it actual data or client related).

Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT: The request could not be submitted for backgroun

I receive: Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT: The request could not be submitted for background processing.
The error is on a windows Server 2008 SP2 production server. The report generates fine if I run it from within Visual studio 2008 on the server but not through IIS. The Crystal Reports is the version that came with vs2008 (10.5).
Initially I was getting unauthorized access errors so I granted full access to everyone for the bin and managed crystal report folders under program files. This fixed the unauthorized access problem but now I get the background processing error. I also tried to inpersonate an admin account with the same result. I tried to copy the crystal reports dll's to the bin folder for the project but that did not help either. I am running out of ideas. I did notice that a 16kb rpt file is generated in the Windows/temp folder every time I try to run the report.

1. The OS is 32bit
2. Yes. The C drive is the primary drive
3. For the sake of simplicity and to troubleshoot the sample code has no datasource just 'Hello' in the report header. The Actual work order report that I need has ADO as datasource and it builds a PDF report without any problems when I run the page from VS2008 (development server) so I think the dll's are where thay are supposed to be. The c:\windows\assembly folder has about 25 CrystalDecisions files (10.5.37).
Do I still need to create a deployment package even though I have everything else working?

Error Message "The document could not be saved. A number is out of range"

Hello to all,
I'm working on a G5/10.4.11/Illust CS3/Acrobat 9 and use to generate .pdfs from .ais by using "Save as pdf" function. Either with LowRes profile and HighRes profile. My pdfs are sent to PC users that use to post it them for changes. But when they need to save them, they get the message "The document could not be saved. A number is out of range".
I know there was a few subject about that but do you have a recent solution to give me to help avoiding this bug ?
Many thanks in advance !
Stekc

As a follow to the above, the problem was related to a file transfer. The PDFs in question were being transfered from a Unix platform to a Windows Server. The transfer was defaulting to ASCII or Text and not binary. Apparently this was never an issue with older versions of Adobe Reader. Once the transfer was switched to binary, Reader X was able to view the files with no missing pages. Something was being stripped from the file that Reader X just didn't like.

RWRBE60.EXE - Application Error. The memory could not be written - URGENT !

Hi,
We are getting the error "RWRBE60.EXE - Application Error. The memory could not be written" in two of the 5 machines. That too, this error is encountered only some times and not always.
Scenario: The report builder generates the .PDF file and places it in the network path. The report is called from the forms 6i. We are using the Report Builder - 6.0.8.20.1.
This error is encountered in only 2 machines but not always.
It's a critical release issue. Could any let us know the possible solution?
Thanks,
Uma

Thanks. We can not re-install the report builder now. How do I check whether memory is sufficient or not?

Code could not be generated because an external component or driver is missing

Greetings All,
     I've using Labview for a little over a year and I have an interesting situation with regards to Labview that I came across today. When I left off yesterday (01/11/12) my TestStand sequence was compiling fine. Today for some reason the compiler told me that one of the VI was broken or missing a sub vi. When I made my way through all the sub vi's in the vi that seemed to be a problem I came across "Code could not be generated because an external component or driver is missing".
     The problem started on the computer (NI PXI-8101 with WinXP and Labview 2010) located in a PXI-1044 that is in my Test Stand.  I have a complete backup on my laptop and my desktop computer which both compiling successfully with no errors. I tried installing the directory on another PXI-8101 and got a different set of results.  The first PXI-8101 gave 100+ errors in TestStand pointing to one of my vi's and the other PXI-8101 reported only one (1) error. The vi is basically using DAQmx vi's to create a "write to one line" action. I'm kind of stumped as to why it works on the laptop/desktop and not the PXI computers. All four computer are WinXP professional and Labview 2010. I saw somethings through google search engine but nothing conclusive. I'm hoping that someone can give me an explaination as to what is causing the error as described. Even if I copy over the directory it doesn't fix the problem. Thank you in advance for an information you provide with this rather interesting problem that I've encountered. If you require addition information let me know.
Regards,
Scott
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Greetings Beau,
     Thank you for the reply.
     I loaded the offending VI into Labview (2010) with TestStand inactive. Of course this was after I completely shutdown the computer and re-booted to ensure that nothing was resident in memory. I've included a couple of the error list boxes in this post.
     It comes down to a subvi that is two (2) subvi's deep. All these vi's are doing is commanding a write or read to and from the PXI-6509. When I check the VI at the level that has no broken run arrows (named below), nothing in the block diagram looks out of place as it should since these were installed by Labview installation. The vi that uses these vi's looks total normal and its block diagram doesn't have anything out of the ordinary yet the run arrow is broken. The odd part of this is that the top of the window that states the filename of the vi has an astrex at the end of the filename, even though nothing has changed in that vi.
Here is a list of the deepest level that has no broken run arrow:
DAQmx Create Channel (DI-Digital Input).vi
DAQmx Start Task.vi
DAQMX Read (Digital Bool 1Line 1Point).vi
DAQmx Clear Task.vi
DAQmx Create Channel (DO-Digital Output).vi
DAQmx Write (Digital U8 1Chan 1Samp).vi
     I guess the real question is what is the error message ("External component or driver missing") really telling me if all of the vi's look right. I appreciate any information you can send my way that will give me a better understanding of where this error is coming from. The program I developed had been running without a hitch for a month an all of sudden crash.
Thank you for your time in this matter.
Scott

Transfer to new PC: The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements

The Problem
I have transferred a large and functioning Premiere Pro project to a more powerful PC but am unable to run it, stopped by the error message "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements".
Facts
The new PC has a 6-core processor and a different hard drive configuration but the operating system on both is Windows 7 and both PCs host up-to-date Premiere Pro CS6 (as part of Adobe Production Premium). The PCs are networked and Premiere Pro on the old PC can successfully load and run the project file located on the new PC, proving that the transferred file is not damaged. Also, preceding versions of the same project generate the same error message when run on the new PC except, very oddly, for earlier versions saved on or before 28 June 2011, when the project was only a fifth of its current size; those versions load correctly. Contemporary notes show that the editing carried out that day was simple timeline editing, ie no After Effects etc (that came later), and the project has worked fine then and since.
So I don't have a damaged project file and don't know what "outdated elements" means.
Help
Any help solving this problem would be much appreciated.

Hi Vinay
As suggested I renamed the additional folder, created a new project, set 'Custom' editing mode, 'Microsoft AVI' as the preview format with 'Uncompressed' codec.
Unfortunately the results were similar to before: On importing the original project into the new project I was sequentially asked for the locations of various files, including After Effects .aep files. The final file location request, for an mp3 audio file, was followed by lots of conforming and indexing. During this process the 'Where is the file XXX.mp3? window stayed locked open. Eventually, with all conforming etc finished, this window was still open and locked. Clicking anywhere on the screen caused a 'ding' and another, smaller, box opened, listing three .aep files. This box asked no questions and gave no options for selecting a file location so, with the topmost file highlighted, I just clicked 'ok' and the box disappeared, leaving the 'Where is the file XXX.mp3?' box still open.
The importing process took about 30 minutes. I waited another 10 minutes, in case something was happening in the background, but with the Task Manager CPU usage value sitting on 0 or 1%, I used it to shut down the project.
For what it is worth, I created a simple new project on the old PC – just a few video clips and transitions in a single sequence (no After Effects etc). This project was then transferred to the new PC and it opened successfully.
Again I remain grateful to you for this and any more advice.
Best regards
Dave

The form could not be certified, possibly because of your password timeout policy

I am obtaining an error while attempting to distribute a form signed with a digital ID. I can't find any documentation or discussion threads to resolve the problem.
Specifically, while attempting to distribute the signed form in Adobe Acrobat X, the progress bar gets halfway before presenting the following pop-up error window:
The form could not be certified, possibly because of your password timeout policy. Please temporarily set the password timeout for this digital ID to "Never" or "Once per session" (in Advanced > Security Settings > Digital ID Files), and try distributing the form again.

I have distributed this form before using the same method without error. Sometime in the last week, this error appeared, suggesting to me that perhaps the password for the digital ID, created in the last few weeks for testing purposes, had expired.
In any case, I went through the suggested fix of going into Security Settings, and then set the password timeout for the digital ID to "Never". No problem. I then attempted again to distribute the form, but continue to obtain the same error.
This is a form created in Livecycle ES2. The client would like to implement trusted Javascript functions - specifically, automatically saving the PDF with a live "production" editable version, along with flattened "secure" versions that can't be altered, and I would like to export the data to XML to make it easier to import data to SQL Server.
All well and good. I've done my homework on this stuff, and I was able to make it work. After a couple of weeks passed, it would no longer work. I don't remember changing any settings, because I was waiting for the client's IT department to drop the Javascript file containing the trusted functions in the Adobe Program Files folder on the server where this will work. In fact, I just walked through the same process of distributing a form on that server, and it worked. It just isn't working on my development machine.
What's up with this? Anyone have a clue? I've run out of ideas, thinking that I might just uninstall and reinstall Acrobat X.
I'd appreciate an assist.
Thanks,
Brian D

I just moved this to the Acrobat Forms forum because (unfortunately) it went unanswered for two months previously in the Security & Electronic Signatures forum. The issue persists.
