Unable to create PDF conversion file

I'm trying to convert to PDF a PPT presentation with my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro which I already installed some years back. I never had any problems with it just of late. It stopped being able to convert and so I uninstalled the program and installed it again. Tried to use it but I keep getting this Error Message: Unable to create file. Missing PDF maker files. Would you like to repair the program (or something to that effect)? I click YES, and go through the same long process but then again, it doesn't convert. This makes it so frustrating. I only installed the program on one computer. What should I do?

Run it, reinstall. Could still not work, though. Could simply be a security update in Acrobat or Windows/ Office that prevents this from working.

Acrobat 8 Pro now unable to create pdf files

Been using Acrobat 8 for well over a year. Installed new release of AutoCAD 2012, now unable to create pdf files from AutoCAD or MS Office programs. Can anybody help?

You may still want to at least give a repair a shot. Won't hurt and sometimes customer suport (I assume you mean Adobe customer support?) will miss some things. I believe in your version you can find it under the Help menu.

"create pdf compatible file" gets tuned off when running batch

I created an action that resizes an image and the saves it in the same format (AI) and then close the file. Next I open the AI formatted file I just created in PhotoShop it opens and looks great. So I go back to Illustrator and run the same action in a batch where I open a folder containing AI files run the action and save the files in a different folder. Now I try to open the files in PhotoShop and find out that the batch function some how turned off create pdf compatible file option when it got to save as in the action so now Im unable to open the file in PhotoShop. Im new to illustrator Im using cs4. Thank you for reading do you have any ideas?

Thanks to all, I really appreciate all the pains which all of you have taken in resolving my problem.
It wasn't Java problem, rather batch file problem. I was only changing the directory, and was not providing for the exe file to run.
@echo off
cd "C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.5.GA\bin\Fastran"
"C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.5.GA\bin\Fastran\FASTRAN.EXE"
ren FTN04 FTN04i
EXIT
:finishNow it is working fine.
I did check the access permissions, no problem with that I guess. The problem was with the path. The batch file couldnt go pass bin directory, and I noticed that only today ;(. At any rate, I changed that and now it is all smooth and dandy.
Once again, thanks a lot.

"Unable to find Pdf Resource files"

I am getting an error message on start up in Windows XP after a recent update. On start up I get the mesaage "Unable to find Pdf Resource files" C:\Documents and Settings\......\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\*.Joboptions
Do you want to run the installer in repair mode.
I have seen several fixes for similar problems but nothing relating to the error occurring at start up.
I would be grateful if you could suggest a solution. I have reinstalled Adobe Pro V8 and the error is still there

In the default settings, it shows "Standard". Try going to the menu above labelled settings and you will likely see an edit options selection. See if you can edit the selection. You can also try selecting other settings with the arrow at the right side of the settings selection (It is a select box) to see if other files are available. You should also be able to see the settings file in the printer properties and be able to edit it also. Trying these games may home in on the problem, particularly if it indicates you do not have access.
Just as a check, open an application that you might like to print to PDF. Then go to the print menu and select print-to-file with the Adobe PDF printer. Once you have that file printed, open it in Distiller and see if you get the proper processing. This manual process is the most basic of the PDF creation processes in Acrobat. All of the other processes build on it. Thus we are checking basic functionality to be sure I did not miss something as we went along.
If the print-to-file works out to give you a PDF, then try printing to the printer without that option selected and hopefully the PDF is created directly (no manual step with Distiller). Each of the next steps would go up the chain in the checkout.

Unable to create post script file in framemaker.

I installed TCS 4.0 licensed suite. Due to some reason I need to delete Adobe PDF from Devices and Printers. Since then I am unable to create post script file using framemaker. I have tried uninstalling and installing TCS 4.0 again, but all in vain. What should I do now?

If you delete critical parts of Acrobat there will be problems. Try doing a REPAIR of Acrobat Pro (from the Programs Control Panel), maybe it can undo the damage.

I am unable to create pdf using adobe printer to a redirected folder on a server running windows server 2003

I am unable to create pdf using adobe printer to a redirected folder on a server running windows server 2003

In the app-server-ant.xml file, as indiacted in the error message i am getting, at line 145 it is suppose to get the path to \bin\asadmin.bat from the value of a paramater called 'asadmin'. This value is being set in the beginning of the file.
The parameter value of 'asadmin' is further referring to value of another parameter called 'javaee.home' which is being set in tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/bp-project/build.properties
I have checked the values of both these parameters and they are set correctly, so since it is still giving me problems, at line 145 i hard coded the path instead of the parameter name:
I replaced line
<exec executable="${asadmin}" failonerror="${failonerror}" dir="${javaee.home}">
with
<exec executable="c:/sun/appserver/bin/asadmin.bat" failonerror="${failonerror}" dir="${javaee.home}">
This works.

REP-0118 Unable to create a temporary file in "Windows 7 "

We are using Report Builder Version 6.0.8.24.0 and Windows7 32 bit operating system, here
While Running a Report through form i am getting this below
error.
REP-0118 Unable to create a temporary file*
But while running the same report in a windows 98 or windowsXp PC
i dont get this error.
What might be the problem.
pls advice the solution....
thanks in Advance...
Stalin...

try this..
REP-118: Unable to create a temporary file.
Case 1: The environment variable that determines in what directory to create temporary files is set to an invalid directory.
Case 2: There is not enough free space on the disk to create the temporary file.
Case 3: A temporary file that cannot be modified already exist
In regedit under branch hkey_local_machine/software/oracle/<oracle home>
I have changed the variable REPORTS_TMP. I changed the value for this to c:\reports_tmp
or you can use something like this where you want Oracle reports to create temp files. Hope this helps

Unable to create temporary backing file

My program is throwing out the error:
temporary open: /var/tmp/BDB20825: Too many open files
unable to create temporary backing file
This happens after my program has been running for about 4 hours. The program appears to run out of file descriptors. The listing of /proc/<PID>/fd shows hundreds of lines naming the same file (/var/tmp/BDB20825), like this:
lrwx------ 1 zobell users 64 Jul 28 14:41 622 -> /var/tmp/BDB20825 (deleted)
That file does not exist. I suspect that someone is deleting but failing to close the file. A few open file descriptors with this deleted file occur slowly in the early hours, but not at a fast enough rate to bring the program down when it does. It looks like there is a sudden flood at the end.
The program repeats this error slowly, and is stuck inside the db code. Here is the gdb backtrace I am seeing every time I interrupt:

At this time, the program is trying to extract fields out of an XmlDocument that is the result of a query. The program uses a pre-calculated XmlQueryExpression to extract a specific field. This may not be the best way to extract a field from a document, given the apparent overhead of needing a temporary file!
My program queries two database files (OD.dbxml and FD.dbxml.new), and uses the information to add records to the second file. The databases are rather big:
bash-3.2$ ls -l /tmp/*dbxml*
-rw-rw---- 1 zobell users 5233745920 Jul 28 14:42 /tmp/FD.dbxml.new
-rw-rw---- 1 zobell users 6539427840 Jul 13 10:16 /tmp/OD.dbxml
(I keep them in /tmp because everywhere else uses NFS and performance is awful with NFS.)
My environment:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.3 (Tikanga) 32 bit.
Berkeley DB XML 2.4.16, C++ interface.
Disk space should not be an issue:
bash-3.2$ df /tmp /var
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-tmp
28948572 13044384 14409968 48% /tmp
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-root
144742920 5333544 131938272 4% /
I ran this program about a year ago and did not see this issue. I have made a few changes and linked to the newer version of the XML database since then. Any help is appreciated.

I have more information about this problem.
If I "disable" the routine __os_zerofill() in os_fzero.c, by having it always return (0), I no longer get an exception and my application appears to run smoothly. However, I have not determined what in this routine leads to the exception. And, I have no idea what the short and long term consequences of "disabling" this routine will be....

Uncheck "Create PDF Compatible File" and "Use Compression" as my default save preference?

We have discovered that unchecking the "Create PDF compatible file" generates much smaller .ai files when saved. Since we do not need them to be PDF compatible we want to save them this way every time. But right now every time we go to save a file the box comes up pre-checked! We have to uncheck it every time! Surely there is a preference setting somewhere that we can change so that the default is for these boxes to come up unchecked?
I have looked under preferences and do not see it.
Thanks
The Print Craftsman.

Which version of Illustrator are you using?
Usually those settings could be changed by modifying the AIPrefs file.

Can't Create PDF "from file" using any MS Office files

Acrobat 8.1.1 Pro. (OS = XP), as part of the CS3 premium edition.
I can no longer get Acrobat to recognize any of the MS Office applications extensions (.doc, .ppt, etc...) for use with either Create PDF "From File" or when using the Combine Files feature to Merge or Package. The extensions are no longer even listed as an option in the dialog box, or in the Preference settings under "Convert to PDF".
FYI- I can still use the PDF Maker functionality from within the MS Office application to create a PDF.
Any Idea what could have happened, or more importantly how to fix?
***Update***
I have re-installed the Acrobat 8 application, and the problem still exists.
I'm truly puzzled.

I get this with my PC and I ran detect-repair and reinstalled. Some PDF's I can open and other's I cannot. I can send the email to a cohort and they can open fine.
"Can't create file: Right-click the folder you want to create the file in and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder"
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks!

Creating PDF from File, missing Settings

Acrobat Professional. 6.0.
I never used Acrobats "Create PDF from file", as in my MS Office 2000 there was "Acrobat - Convert to Adobe PDF" menu item with the possibility to change joboptions settings.
My current MS Office 2007 now has its own PDF convertor only, so I tried the Acrobats feature "Create PDF from file". It works, but the Settings button is grayed out with all Office file types. I didnt find a way how to access Acrobats settings, so I tried by first opening Distiller and changing the options there. Nothing happened, the output from Acrobat has always the same file size and quality. Of course I could make PDF out from Office by printing to Adobe PDF printer, but how with other file types which are not Office types.
Thanks for suggestions, i.e. for showing me what I eventually didnt consider.

As I and Bernd tried to say. AA6 does not support OFFICE 2007. The fact that you have PDF Maker from AA6 working in WORD 2007 is surprising. Since it is not a normal or supported operation, we have no idea what to tell you. It should not even be working. You are the first one I have ever heard say that they have the AA6 PDF Maker (create PDF is the way it shows up) working in OFFICE 2007!
Thus, I may misunderstand. But I am trying to tell you that none of us have experience with the configuration. Adobe will also tell you to simply upgrade. Unfortunately, that leaves you on your own to experiment. If you have questions along the way based on your observations, we would be glad to try to help, but don't expect too much.

Unable to create PDF from scanner

My office uses a Canon iR-Advance C5035. I previously had a computer that was running an older version of Windows (XP, I think) and Adobe Acrobat Standard (6, maybe), and I was able to create PDFs with the scan function on the Canon.
This year we bought a new computer that is running Windows 8. I just purchased and installed Acrobat Standard XI, but I am unable to create PDFs using the Canon scanner. I keep getting a "Either scanner driver is not installed or scanner is not connected." error. When I look at the "Custom scan" option, the Canon doesn't even seem to be detected. I'm not sure how to address this problem and any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
-Paul

Look under Control Panel>System>Hardware to see if the scanner appears. If not, then try Add Hardware (or whatever the option is in Win8) to install the driver (if available from Win8). If the cannon is on a network, you may have to go to additional steps to install it since the OS may not see it. The idea of looking for a new driver is also a good idea since Win8 (just like happened with Win7) is not shipped with a lot of the drivers.
