Trying the stop the "Adobe PDF – Security" popup message

I'm using MS-Access to create multiple PDF reports, occasionally the whole process stops because of the “Adobe PDF – Security” popup message asking to “Select Document Components to Encrypt”. We do not encrypt any of the PDF documents, and always hit the Cancel button. It’s a pain when we run reports during the night as the whole process stops waiting for a reply to the encryption message. Does anyone know how to stop the popup message ???

You are correct, it is Distiller question. I moved the question to the Adobe Windows discussion forum.
Thanks,

PhotoShop Elements 11 stopped importing Adobe PDF files recently. Everything looks the same until the file opens and is just a transparent background.

What is the Acrobat 7 Adobe PDF printer driver name?

I can no longer print to my "Adobe PDF" printer.
I have Acrobat 7.1.0 (as part of Creative Suite 2) on my small travel laptop system running Windows XP Professional, SP3.
Recently, if I try to print to a PDF file from Firefox, I get:
"an unexpected error has occurred" or "an unknown error has occurred while printing".
I went to the Adobe PDF printer itself and if I try to choose the properties, I get "The Adobe PDF Converter' is not installed on this computer. Then it asks me if I want to install the driver now. If I say yes, it wants the driver name, which I don't know and don't see obvious candidates. If I say no, and I see the properties for the PDF printer, it says the driver is "Adobe PDF Converter", but I guess the underlying driver file is missing.
I found a posting for how to manually reinstall the printer on Acrobat 10, but my directory structure is different and I don't have a file called pdf.inf, so I suspect the driver name is different in Acrobat 7.
I can still launch Acrobat 7 just fine, and have tried doing the repair from the help menu twice, and rebooted afterward. No luck.
I didn't delete the Adobe PDF printer before the repair. I was afraid to.
I could go back to the original CS2 disks, but then I'll lose all the updates I've downloaded and installed over the years. I don't know if Adobe even has the updates for CS2 online anymore.
I suspect if I knew the name of the PDF printer driver in Acrobat 7, I may be able to fix it. Even if the file got deleted, I likely have it on an old backup.
Does anyone know the name of the ".inf" driver file for the Adobe PDF printer in Acrobat7 (CS2)?
If not, is there something else I can run from the setup files that will reinstall the PDF converter?
Thanks.
Cindy

I cannot confirm, but feel confident that Adobe has the updates available for CS2.
Reinstall from the disks.
I just looked through my XP system running CS2; I cannot see an easy way to reinstall the Adobe PDF Printer, but it is already installed there.

How can i prevent modifing the itemes in Adobe PDF Printer Setting?

Hi,
I have installed an Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.0 in windows xp.In print dialog,push the Property button,it will appear a dialog of Adobe PDF Setting,one of the setting itemes is "View the Adobe PDF Results",it can be set to view or not view the new created PDF file. I want hold the default setting and prevent modifing it,How can i do? can it be realized by javascript program?Thanks a lot!

Hi,Test Screen Name
Because HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\Ad obe PDF\ is the dir where to set the property of Adobe PDF printer when windows load it , this is experience, no documentation(or i don't find) , perhaps there will be other registry itemes which does not list in that dir ,but i don't know , that is why i think it just like what you have said ' It looks very like a "discovery" rather than a policy ' . For this reason , i want to realize it by adobe acrobat SDK programming ,but now the second way is impossible. Thank you again !

I have a new laptop and I am trying to download CS3. The site on adobe gives an error message and the one I tried from this forum downloaded CS3 extended, so my serial number does not work. Does anyone have any suggestions. Regards Vicki

The trial is always extended. The serial number you enter determines whether it runs as standard or extended.
I'm getting through fine with that link, so it must be a browser issue or some such thing. Try another browser.

App-V 5: An error was encountered while trying to stop the monitoring session

Hello,
I have a problem with sequencing an application with the App-V 5 sequencer. During the moment that the sequencer is collecting system changes an dialog box appears with the message "An error was encountered while trying to stop the monitoring session.
Please check the event log for more details.". When I sequence the same application with App-V 4.6 SP2 sequencer I have no problems.
In the eventviewer (Microsoft-AppV-Sequencer/Admin) you can see the message "An attempt to stop the monitoring session failed (startIndex cannot be large than lenght of string. Parameter name: startIndex). Event Id: 5003
I have checked the background activities, but I couldn't find anything suspicious.

Is the only difference between the platform the sequencer is hosted on the version of the sequencer? have you tested on a vanilla deployment of Windows?

My ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to computer which doesn't recognize it. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died. I tried to stop the upload and am afraid it 'crashed'

My first genteration ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to the authorized computer which won't recognize it - does not acknowledge a device is plugged in. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died. I tried to stop the upload midway and am afraid it 'crashed'

Try putting it into recovery mode.
Connect iPad to your computer via USB while it's turned on.
Open iTunes
Hold the iPad's Sleep/Wake switch (power button on the top of the iPad) down until the "power off" slider appears.
Power off the iPad completely (wait for the progress spinner to disappear).
Hold the Sleep/Wake switch AND the Home button down for a full 10 seconds.
After 10 seconds (the second time you'll see the Apple logo on the screen) release the Sleep/Wake switch while still holding the Home button.
Continue to hold the Home button for another 10 seconds until the USB connection image appears on the iPad's screen, then release the Home button.
A pop-up message will appear on iTunes saying it has detected an iPad in recovery mode, you must restore...
Click on the "Restore" button and the process will begin.

i keep trying to print an adobe pdf-and today all of a sudden they wont print and instead opens a "save-as" MS word window prompting me to do that instead of simply printing

Look in the print menu (more than likely under "Advanced") and deselect the box that says "Print to file".

How do I get the Converting to Adobe PDF process to stop hanging?

I installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on a machine running Windows 7 Professional 64bit. I have tried creating PDFs from MS Office files (using the Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar). I have also tried printing to Adobe PDF, from within MS office but also elsewhere (e.g. IE, Notepad). No matter the creation method, I am prompted for a file name and location and then the Acrobat PDFMaker window appears with a taskbar and message "Coverting to Adobe PDF..." The process hangs there and a print job appears in the Adobe PDF printer with a status of "Error - Printing." How do I get the process to stop hanging and successfully create PDFs?

FWIW, a former colleague was also frustrated with this "Error - Printing" hang-up problem, when printing from any app to Adobe PDF, with Acrobat Pro 9.3.0 on a Win7x64 system. I recall forum threads on that issue, with no clear resolution?. What did work on every print job, though, was the two-step method: (a) Print to File with Adobe PDF, then (b) fire up Acrobat Distiller 9 to convert the intermediate .prn Postscript file. (It would seem that Acrotray wasn't functioning properly in a x64 environment?...though it did run as one of the pc startup processes)
As that two-step method was acceptable for his workflow, he never explored the possibility of getting a fluent one-step PDF creation by upgrading to the highest available v9x version, or beyond.

I have Adobe Reader X on Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Printer for Adobe PDF show up in my Hardware/printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers?

I have Adobe Reader X in Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Adobe PDF show up as a printer in my Hardware/Printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers? And how?

Adobe Reader - FREE - reads PDF files, prints them, fills forms.
Adobe Acrobat - $$ - as Reader, and makes PDFs and edits them, sorta, and does a bunch more.
So if you had Acrobat try and find the license to avoid having to pay again...

What is the Select in Adobe PDF Convert do?

In Internet Explorer browser, there is this Adobe PDF Convert plugin. I know about the Convert button but what about the "Select" button. What does this do?

"Select" lets you select a specific portion of the web page. Then use of the Convert outputs the selection to PDF.
Be well...

Stupid thing .... have spent hours on trying to STOP the apps.. I have no 'setup' where it says

I have a hp photosmart 5510 All-in-one B111a When I installed my printer I chose one app to see how it works ....... I DON'T need or require this or any other app and I want to stop it asap.
I have tried to follow the instructions from the forum BUT what they are asking is not on my screen
Would it be too hard for HP to have a simple INSTALL/DELETE for their Apps? Ridiculous!
Can anyone explain simply how to be rid of it please
Thank you

Cancel the application from the task manager.
Open Task Manager by right-clicking the taskbar, and then clicking Start Task Manager.
or Incase the program is already installed on your computer then uninstall the application from the Control Panel
Open Programs and Features by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Programs, and then clicking Programs and Features.
Select a program, and then click Uninstall. Some programs include the option to change or repair the program in addition to uninstalling it. but many simply offer the option to uninstall. To change a program, click Change or Repair. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Note
If the program that you want to uninstall is not listed, it might not have been written for this version of Windows. To uninstall the program, check the information that came with the program.

How to use the 64 bit Adobe PDF Browser Control (AcroPDF64.dll) in x64 WinForms VS2012

I noticed that sice 11.0.07 there is a 64 bit version of the AcroPDF.dll called AcroPDF64.dll. Does this mean that I can use the PDF Browser Control in a x64 WinForms application? If so, what do I need to do to get this to work?
When I right click on the "Toolbox" and select "Choose Items..." there is only the possibility to select the Adobe PDF Reader pointing to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll" and not a version using the AcroPDF64.dll
When I click in this dialog on the "Browse..." btton and select the AcroPDF64.dll nothing happens.
Now I am stuck with an "Initializing..." message when loading a PDF in the control. The control is working when switching back to x86 (but which I can't because I need to reference a dll that is only available in 64 bit).
Please advice, thank you in advance!

Thank you for your reply.
Does this means that it is still not possible to use the PDF ActiveX control in a x64 WinForms application?

How do I fix an Alert which keeps coming up frequently. I have tried to stop the script from running as well as continuing to see if the script will complete.

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsMicrosummaryService.js:759 ed

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

How do I deal with "Acces Denied" error when trying to print to Adobe PDF printer driver

Windows 7 64 bit OS (updated)
Adobe Acrobat XI (11.0.06.70)
I am unable to create a PDF file from within the Windows 7 print dialog. Each time, I receive a terse "Access Denied" error followed by the display below (the progress bar never advances). I thought upgrading to Adobe Acrobat XI might fix this but no such luck. It seems that others have experienced similar issues. I noticed in the display below that Adobe is trying to create the file in a folder which does not exist (at least I can't see it even after setting my preferences to display hidden files). I have the hope that, if the folder were present and accessible, Adobe would create the file without trouble. Is there a way to instruct Adobe Acrobat XI to create this temporary file in a different location? One of my frustrations is that I used to be able to print Adobe Acrobat files without trouble on the same computer. I wonder whether the use of a registry cleaner may have contributed to my problem.
What are the best practices for addressing the Access Denied and inability to print problems I've encountered?
Thanks for any help you can provide in sorting out this problem.
Best,
Matt

I have been having the exact same problem with Adobe Acrobat X. I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times and applied all the latest updates. Every time I try to print ANTHING to the Adobe PDF print driver, the software hangs (MS Office, webpage, or other programs). When I finally kill the process using Task Manager, I find the little "Access Denied" box. This has been happening for nearly one year. I have limped along since I have other computers to use. I have attempted to find answers on this forum in the past, and no one seems to have a clear answer to the problem.
I, too, was tempted to upgrade to XI, but Matt's post settled the matter, since it did not help him.
I am using Win 7 Home (64 bit) and until this issue started, I have had no problem with AA X.
Where are the Adobe experts when you need them? Please help us.
