'Unable to convert pdf; invalid page range or conversion setting parameters'

Hello,
I keep getting this error anytime I try to convert any type of ms 2003 file to pdf.  I've tried to reinstall my acrobat 8 professional twice and even ran a repair with no fix.  It almost just freezes.   I can say this: this error started when I tried to clone this hard drive but it didn't work so I just left put the old drive back in the pc.  I was told this may have something to do with it but now i need to know how to fix it. Please help!

On my VISTA machine I am at AA8.2.4 or whatever the latest is. However, that should not be the issue with the crashing. You might also try a repair of Acrobat from the control panel>add/remove programs menu.
Here are the steps I was suggesting:
1. Open the file in WORD.
2. Select the File>Print menu and check Print-to-file.
3. Print the file (and note where you save it). It is a good idea to go ahead and give it an extension of PS (rather than the default PRN) -- it is a PS file.
4. Close WORD and open Distiller.
5. Open the file in Distiller and see if you get the PDF.
If you are still having problems, you might try printing only a few pages at a time (I am guessing things about your file) and see if the document prints. If that works, go back and empty the TEMP folder and try again. You may just be running out of room in this folder.

  • Cannot rotate pages.  Error says "invalid page range"

    I am running Acrobat X1 Pro version 11.0.10 on an iMac which is running Yosemite 10.10.1.
    When I attempt to rotate a page, I am seeing an error message which says "Invalid page range", even when there is only one page in the document.

    Hi BaronRev,
    This is an indication the document is damaged.  Try using the PDF Optimizer (choose File > Save as Other > Optimized PDF). Under the Cleanup section, deselect Optimize the PDF for Fast Web View. Than, save a copy and try rotating the page.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Acrobat Pro V8.1.2 "Invalid Page Range" Error - Rotate Pages

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Acrobat Professional version 8.1.2. For the last couple of weeks every time I try to rotate a page in any direction I get the following error:
    "Invalid Page Range" (OK)
    I have tried every combination of options for amount of rotation and page range (all, selected, specify). No matter what I do I get the same message. I have tried this on several different documents both encrypted and unencrypted.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I know this is nearly 4 years late, and I realise this may not have been the cause with the original post, but for the sake of covering this issue for anyone who searches and lands on this page:  The most common cause for receiving this "invalid page range" error when attempting to rotate pages is becaue the option for "Even and Odd Pages," "Even Pages Only," or "Odd Pages Only" drop-down choices are inconsistent with the selection.  For example, if you're trying to rotate just page 1, but the selection "Even Pages Only" is slected, then you will receive this error.  You will find this option in the options window that appears when you click the Rotate command.
    Just my two cents after trying to remedy this over and over with users.
    Cheers!

  • I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

    I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

    I went to the site and did exactly as the 'support' said. I tried three PDF documents for conversion to Word. On clicking 'convert', the last window gives the file with .doc suffix. After I save and open it the window says, "The XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents." Under "Details", it says, "Incorrect document syntax".
    Please guide me further.
    Thanks

  • The pdf file that i am converting has multiple pages but the conversion only exports the 1st page into excel.  How do i get the product to include all pages on multiple sheets?

    Hi,
    The pdf file that I am converting has multiple pages but the conversion only exports the 1st page into excel.  How do i get the product to include all pages on multiple sheets?

    Hi christinek,
    Can you please tell me how the PDF that you're converting was created? Sometimes, PDF files created by third-party PDF generators (that is non-Adobe applications), don't contain all the tags and file information necessary to ensure a proper conversion to Excel. There are no settings that you can change in ExportPDF to adjust how the file is imported.
    You can tell how the PDF was created by choosing File > Properties in Reader and looking for the PDF Producer on the Description tab. If the PDF was created by a third-party, it just may not be written to spec. Please see Support Policy for PDF Files created by non Adobe applications.

  • I am unable to convert pdf to word on Export - says "subscribe now" - I am already subscribed.

    I am unable to convert pdf to word on Export - says "subscribe now" - I am already subscribed.

    I am having the same/similar problem.  When I attempt to sign in from the conversion section, the program will not allow me to sign in, so I am unable to convert the PDF to any other program.  However, I can sign in on adobe without problem.  It is a real mess as I need to have this program functioning today and I have been told there is no one available to help until Monday.  That does not seem to be the type of support that we have all paid for.

  • Installed Adobe Pro X now unable to convert PDF - Missing PDFMaker Files

    Hello,
    I installed the trial version of Adobe Pro X and now I am unable to convert a Microsoft Word.doc file to .pdf.  The error message is 'Missing PDFMaker Files.  Do you want to run the installer to repair mode?'  I ran the installer, twice, with the same resulting error message.  (Am currently using Windows XP Pro along with Microsoft 2003 - and will upgrade in the new year.)  I searched this issue, and found the following:
    To manage your Disabled Items list in a Microsoft Office application:
    Open the Microsoft Office application (Word, Excel, Publisher).
    Choose Help > About [the application name].
    Click Disabled Items.
    Select Adobe PDF from the list, and then click Enable.
    Quit the Microsoft Office application, and then restart it.
    However, there are no applications in the list, including Adobe.
    I also tried this:
    If the error message continues to appear after you enable Adobe PDF, check the security level for macros in Microsoft Word:
    Choose Tools > Macro > Security.
    In the Security dialog, click the Security tab.
    Choose Medium or High.
    Do one of the following:
    If you chose Medium, then click OK.
    If you chose High, then continue with steps 5 through 7.
    Click the Trusted Publishers tab.
    Check Trust all installed add-ins and templates.
    Click OK.
    And Adobe is already there, so no change here.
    I have uninstalled the trial version, deleted what visible remnants I could find, restarted the computer, installed the trial version again and am getting the same error message.
    Is there a solution to this problem?  Or, should I just return to my Adobe Pro 7?
    Thank you in advance!

    I recently bought and installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro thinking that X Pro was compatable with Windows XP. I am unable to convert any Microsoft Office 2003 file into a PDF. I receive the same error message as above ( "Missing PDFMaker Files") and tried running it in repair mode as suggested. No change.
    I've tried this stuff:

  • Unable to convert PDF files to any other file format using Acrobat XI Pro

    Acrobat XI Pro ver11.0.2
    Office 2013 Pro Plus
    Windows 8 Pro
    When I open a PDF file and try to export file to: Word, RTF, Excel, XML or PowerPoint, I woud receive the error below.
    Save As failed to process this document. No file was created.
    I recall in the past that I was able to export PDF to Excel & Word.  I simply tried the other file formats to see what happens.
    Unfortunately for me, this is happening to both of my machines.  Same version software except the other machine is Windows 7 Pro. I have admin level rights to both PCs.
    Not sure what to do at this point.
    As another test, I did the following.
    Created a document in Word, then saved as a PDF file.  Opened that PDF file to save as a Word doc and I received the error listed above.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thank you

    Thank you for the suggestions
    "Created a document in Word, then saved as a PDF file.  Opened that PDF file to save as a Word doc and I received the error listed above".
    I used another machine.  Created a Virtual Machine with Office 2013 and Acobat XI and I do not have issues with converting PDF to any of the available formats.  Its not the file I'm using, its the software itself that is the issue.
    Unfortunately, I did uninstall Office 2013 & Acrobat XI then reinstalled but I still have the problem so I can only guess once its broken in the registry, I will continue to have an issue.
    For now, I'm going to move Acrobat XI on the VM since I dont have time to reinstall Windows 8. 

  • Unable to convert PDF file into word document

    I just signed up with Adobe in order to convert a PDF file into a word document and it continues to fail.  Any suggestions.

    If you have adobe X, simply go to "File" -> "Save-As" and Microsoft Word is an option. Also, there is a download (paid) called Able2Extract that will allow you to convert pdfs to word, excel, etc. but the formatting is often lost. If you get the premium package, you can even convert scanned documents. I've used Adobe X to do the conversion, and it retains headers, footers and all formatting.
    And i personally share you with a article about how to converting PDF files to Word(.doc), you just need to follow the easy guide.
    Hope it can help you a lot.

  • Unable to convert pdf into xlsx file.  Can you help?

    I'm trying to convert my pdf file into an xlsx file.  I have the Adobe Export Subscription, yet Adobe Reader hasn't been able to convert it, although it will convert the file into an rtf file.  Any suggestions on how to make the conversion?

    Hey meech39265918,
    Can you just elaborate what problem did you face exactly with Adobe Reader. What error u got from Adobe Acrobat. I use it all the time and it works just fine. Is something wrong with the subscription. Anyways if you want to get an alternate u can try Universal Document Converter for converting PDF to Excel -  http://www.print-driver.com .

  • Unable to convert PDF files to Word; no confirmation email

    I've paid for converting PDFs in to word documents but haven't received my confirmation email - its telling me that its sent - I still cannot convert?

    Hi looloochick,
    I just checked your account, and see that your subscription has been active since July 8. You should be able to log in and convert files. What happens when you try? And, are you logging in to the service from within Reader, or directly on the ExportPDF website? If you're using Reader, please make sure that you have the most current version by choosing Help > Check for Updates. Version 11.0.07 (the current version) alleviates a sign-in error that occurs with earlier versions.
    Please let us know how it goes. If you are getting an error message when you try to sign in or convert, please let us know what  it is, so we can point you in the right direction for a solution.

  • Convert PDF to Pages, TIF Images & Text

    Hi,
    I need commands in VBG.NET to convert a PDF file into separate pages.
    Each page needs to be converted to a text file and also an imgage TIF image file.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    I'm getting the same error "The Image is too wide to output. Please crop it or reduce resolution and try again." too.
    This error comes up when using SaveAs method in C# code:
    Object jsObj = m_pdDoc.GetJSObject ();
    Type jsType= m_jsObj.GetType ();
    object[] saveAsParam = { tiffFile, "com.adobe.acrobat.tiff", "", false, false };
    jsType.InvokeMember ("saveAs",
                                     BindingFlags.InvokeMethod |
                                     BindingFlags.Public |
                                     BindingFlags.Instance,
                                              null, jsObj, saveAsParam, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
    Is it possible to catch this error programmatically and then change the resolution of TIFF?
    I tried to catch this error in the try/catch block that didn't work. Any ideas?
    I can change the resolution manually in Preference of Adobe Acrobat Pro and that works fine. I need to manage this programmatically.
    Thanks
