Unable to convert postscript file...

I can't print a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Mac (OS X 10.9.1). The file sent to print remains stuck in the queue saying "Printing - Unable to convert Postscript file". My printer is HP OfficeJet 8600 Plus. It seems to be a problem related to Acrobat for Mac only, as I can print the same file with the same printer from Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Windows. All software and drivers involved are updated. Printing As an Image does the trick, but I am looking for a direct solution if there is one.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Trying to print from Quicken running in Win 7 under Parallels. Seems to function correctly through WIN, but in Mac print queue, generates the error "Unable to Convert Postscript File" What gives?
I think Quicken is using their own print library that may be adding artifacts to the postscript code that the Mac printer drivers cannot digest. Or, are you using a printer with postscript level 2 emulation and Quicken is sending postscript level 3 love?
Current on Parallels and Quicken software updates? Mountain Lion printer drivers for your device?
What about printing directly to postscript into a shared Mac folder, then opening that file with either Preview (will convert to PDF) or Adobe Reader 10.1.4 on Mountain Lion. You might need latest Ghostscript, Redmon, and CutePDF Writer -- all free on the Win 7 side to direct output to a virtual postscript or PDF printer from within Quicken.
I looked at the Intuit forums and their are dozens of pages reflecting printer issues with Quicken. This appears to be the application from ****.
Hope you aren't on the billable clock with these issues.

How To Print After Error Msg: Unable to convert postscript file

We installed "Maverick" on our MacBook Pro and our printer is a HP 8600. We were unsuccessful in getting our Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 to print our PDF files. Instead, we got the error msg: Printing Stopped: unable to convert postscript file. We have used this application for years without any problems. How do we solve this problem so that our application WILL "convert postscript file" or do we have to spend several hundred dollars to upgrade?

I think we solved the problem. Instead of looking for the solution via Adobe, we went to our printer info online, which was the HP OfficeJet 8600. We found special printer drivers for our newly installed Maverick operating system for our MacBook Pro. After downloading and installing the new drivers per the directions, we tested printing a pdf document and it was printed without any problem.

Unable to convert the file name in Target directory

Dear Experts,
Currently iam facing a problem with some files.my interface is a File to file .As per the interface the sender will pick the flatfiles from source directory which the file name was BNP_NE201.txt once my file reached to target directory the name of the file willrenamed as VENDOR_Payment.NE201 automatically for this they have done some OS level script in receiver communication channel of the first interface which we have added "un operating system command after message processing" in processing parameters tab.again one more sender comm channel wil pick the file from first target directory which is having naming convesion of "VENDOR_Payment.NE201 " and post it to target. all the two interfaces are file to file (NFS) . for a parctuclar day files has been posted to 1 st target directory and the receiver communication channel is not yet convert the file names bcz of that the second communication channel can't able to pick the files from target directory. for some times that is working fine and some times it is unable to convert.

You need to wait until the file is converted. After when it is converted then the second interface sender communication channel will pick the files.
What do u mean by unable to convert?
Is it unable to do the content conversion? if so then check the data as you said that it sometimes it works fine.
> The best approach is to change the name of the file in the receiver communciation channel instead of using a script.
Thanks,

I am unable to convert certain files to pdf with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

I am unable to convert Word & PowerPoint files to pdf. (I am able to convert image files & excel)
I have enable macros in Word and still cannot convert the file.
I am getting the error popup:
Unable to open the document
Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file
I am running:
Windows XP Professional Ver 2002 SP 3
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
Microsoft Office 2007

Open the document in WORD or PPT and print to the Adobe PDF printer. With PPT, you will have to select the fill page option. You may also be able to use PDF Maker in WORD or PPT. From your post I am assuming you are trying to open directly in Acrobat and all of these other things have to be working properly before the latter will work. If they work and you still can not open directly in Acrobat, then try a repair on Acrobat.

How to convert postscript file to jpg or png

Hi,
I have to convert the postscript file into jpg or png image and need to display it in GUI.
Can anyone suggest me how to do it or is there any third party jar available in java so that i can make use of it.
Thanks & Regards

i'm not sure what you're trying to do but:
1. if you have flash pro, you can open the fla and publish bitmaps of any display object
2. rename the fla extension to zip and unzip it to utilize its bitmaps.

Unable to convert text file to PDF

Hi,
Using Adobe Pro 9 Distiller on Windows 2008 64bit server. So far using Distiller to convert .eps files to .pdf with Standard job options file. I need to convert a .txt file to .pdf and am not able to convert using any of the OOTB job options settings that came with Distiller product installation.
Below is the Distiller output when I tried with Standard job options settings
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: MBLDxxxx-03.rpt ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Can anyone please provide me settings or job options file settings to convert reports in text format to PDF? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick response. I was able to generate the PDF using the Adobe PDF writer by opening the text file. Not an issue on 64 bit platform. The .NET application using Distiller to convert eps to PDF via Distiller and moves it over to a watch folder. Another application picks it up and bursts the large PDF to individual PDFs. I need to automatically convert txt to PDF and submit it for burst. Looking for ways to leverage Distiller to automatically convert the txt to PDF. Is it possible? Thanks.

Missing page while converting Postscript files to PDF using Distiller 9.

Hi
Due to some incorrect hexadecimal code in the post script, one of the pages is not getting created in the full pdf. So, we can say that the page is missing in the complete pdf file.
Here is my snapshot of the issue:
1. Offending command issue on a particular post script data is coming up due to some incorrect hexadecimal data.
2. If I run the postscript through Distiller 8, report is getting generated without any missing data.
3. Whereas, if I run it throught Distiller 9.1.3, Distiller is ignoring the page due to following warning.
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
41
( À
4. If I run the same Postscript file in Distiller 9.3 (latest version), issue is going away.
5. But I have another Report pdf with the same issue but this time with a different hexadecimal exception.
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
49
(à øÀ øÀ øÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿÀ þÀ þà þø?þ?ÿÿþ?ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿýþ ÿùþ?ðà øÀ øÀ øÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ üÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿ€ þÿÀ þÀ þà þø?þ?ÿÿþ?ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿÿþ ÿýþ ÿùþ ü%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
So, either way, even if I upgrade my version of Acrobat from 9.1.3 to 9.3, issue doesnt go away. I think the new Acrobat Distiller is buggy and introducing new problems when compared to Acrobat Distiller 9.
1. Works fine Distiller 8.0
2. More problems with 9.1.3
3. Lesser problems with 9.3 but I cant upgrade to 9.3 unless i see all the missing page problem going away.
Can someone urgently look into this?
Regards
Hari

I am calling Distiller using command line.
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrodist.exe" /f/Q/N C:\Reporter\debug\report.dst
report.dst contains the the names of the post script files.
(I have already contacted Distiller server forum and I was told to post the request in Acrobat forum)

I am unable to convert a file 1.2mb from pdf to word.

I just signed up and trying to convert a 1.2 mB file to word, the program is not responding, what do I do?

Hi subscription question,
I've checked your account; it looks like you tried to place two separate orders this morning, but it doesn't appear that either went through. However, it does sound as though you've been able to convert a file successfully. What happens when you log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you see your converted file there? All converted files are automatically stored in your online account, even when you convert from within Reader.
Best,
Sara

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 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 word file (15000 kb) into pdf.

I am using Microsoft Word 2003 and have a fairly large file (15000 kb) containing numerious graphics with text. I attempt to convert to pdf with the adobe appplication that attatches to word from installing Acrobat 8. The process goes until the temp word file is created then stops and freezes everything. It is necessary to repair Adobe 8 before continueing. The only way I have been able to convert is to split the Word file in two and convert the halves than combine them after converting. The problem with this approach the index created in Word will not work for the recombined pdf file so need to create two indexes, one for each half. Any ideas?

This is an issue of the conversion creating a PS file between the DOC and the PDF file in the temp folder. You have run into the limit of the TEMP folder. You can empty the TEMP folder and see if that resolves the problem or do the compress as recommended. With WORD 2003, go to the format option for a graphic and in the lower left of the menu will be compress. Select compress and compress ALL graphics. You might do this one a copy if you do not want to reduce the resolution in the DOC file.

Unable to convert swf files into fla files

Hi,
I tried using Dreamweaver to convert a SWF file into a FLA file so I can edit it in CS 5. But when I right clicked the placeholder for the file, it doesn't have an "Edit in Flash" option. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks very much,
Rosemary

According to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WSd60f23110762d6b883b18f10cb1fe1af6-7f12a.html# WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7acf
asset is reflected in Flash immediately.
Edit a SWF file from Dreamweaver in Flash
If you have both Flash and Dreamweaver installed, you can select a SWF file in a Dreamweaver document and use Flash to edit it. Flash does not edit the SWF file directly; it edits the source document (FLA file) and re‑exports the SWF file.
In Dreamweaver, open the Property inspector (Window > Properties).
In the Dreamweaver document, do one of the following:
Click the SWF file placeholder to select it; then in the Property inspector click Edit.
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the placeholder for the SWF file, and select Edit With Flash from the context menu.
Dreamweaver switches the focus to Flash, and Flash attempts to locate the Flash authoring file (FLA) for the selected SWF file. If Flash cannot locate the Flash authoring file, you are prompted to locate it."
But I don't see "Edit with Flash" option. Maybe because I have a trial version of Dreamweaver?

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.
Best,
Sara
