Unable to create PDF file

I have just upgraded to Adobe X Standard and noticed I can no longer created PDF files. When I try convert any Word/Excel file to PDF I get an error "Your file could not be printed due to an error on Adobe PDF on e02"
I have tried to remove office and Adobe X Standard then install Office 2010 Professional and then Adobe X Standard 10.1.1 I have installed all updates for office.
My computer is running Windows 7 64bit with Office 32bit.
This happens when trying to print to PDF or save as PDF getting the same error.

Hi I dont think this is a permissions issue I just created a new WINDOWS PROFILE this fixed the issue the user already was a admin on the computer. The issue was trying to save/print any file to PDF to either network or local to computer. Once the new profile was made I was able to test and could once again create pdf files. There must have been something in the old profile causing the issue and the new profile fixed the issue it was a last thing to to try as had tried everything I could think of.

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.

creation portion of the program and did not fell that reinstallation or
deactivate/activate would resolve.

Unable to create PDF - file could not be printed

I am having a problem with a user who is unable to create a pdf using Adobe Standard 8
The error messages is as follows:
your file could not be printed due to an error on adobe pdf on Ne 04
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f97/bsucards/584872418744_adobe.jpg
I have tried to uninstall Adobe Standard 8 and reinstall and do all the updates
I have uninstalled Adobe Reader 9 and downgraded it to Adobe Reader 8
I have reinstalled Office XP
I have created a new profile for this user
The only way I can get it to work is to make the user an admin, which is not an option. We have other users in the company using this version of Adobe without any problems

Unable to create PDF files from any application in any Acrobat version

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me find a solution to a problem I am having creating PDF files.
I have searched the Internet for a solution to this problem and can't find any information that helps me.
I am running OSX 10.8.5 on a 2.5 GHZ Intel i5 Mac Laptop
I cannot create PDFs from any program, Quark, Word, ect.
When I try to print to the PDF printer, the printer pauses when it tries to open the Distiller. When I click resume, it pauses itself again.
I have tried to save the document and create the PDF from within the distiller itself and get this error log:
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: MMXPR3 ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I was originally using Acrobat 8, But I installed the trial version of Acrobat 11 and it has the same problem.
The problem seems to be something to do with the distiller. I have a lot of Adobe software so I am trying to avoid a clean/re-install of Adobe software but will do it as a last resort.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Unable to create pdf files after upgrade to acrobat dc, acrobat crashes

Since I just upgraded to Acrobat DC I am not able to create PDF files any more. Whatever program I tried, the PDF-printing process always crashes. Deinstallation and reinstallation does not help in any way. Even worse, there is no option to install any former version of Adobe Acrobat through the Creative Cloud App. Any office or CAD software from which I am trying to print also totally stucks from the PDF printing process. I am a freelancer and have some urgent deadlines tomorrow, so the last thing I need right now is trouble with my pdf-printer. Any help is highly appreciated. (Windows 7 Professional, HP ZBook 15 Mobile Workstation).

For those of you who are Creative Cloud members and are facing the same problem, this is the way to reinstall Acrobat XI Pro (you will not find this option within the Creative Cloud App):
1. Make sure you uninstalled Acrobat DC.
2. Log in with your account data on https://creative.adobe.com
3. Go to https://creative.adobe.com/de/products/acrobat
4. Choose Acrobat XI Pro from the dropdown menu and click the download button.
5. An event handler will ask you in a popup window if you want to open the link within the Adobe Creative Cloud App. Choose CreativeCloud(URIHandler) from the list and hit okay.
6. The Download will now apear in the Apps list of the Creative Cloud App and can be installed by hitting the Install button.
Took me some time to figure that out and I would prefer to use the latest Acrobat version. But as long as Acrobat DC causes my other applications to crash, Acrobat XI Pro will do the job.

Firefox 8... Unable to create PDF files from screen using Adobe Acrobat X...what happened?

I'm no longer able to use the Adobe feature to create PDF's from the Firefox screen.
Unable to find any information on correcting this issue.
I would not have upgraded to Firefox 8 if I knew the loss of the Adobe PDF feature would be effected.
I reinstalled the standard Adobe Acrobat X with no results...
What happened?

Firefox Support - I even create a Firefox account just to agree with [email protected] I appreciate the word "Thank you for being awesome!" when I registered the account and I certainly do hope you all guys being awesome to. Please do something with all this Firefox update - add-on plugin no longer support thingy. Firefox still awesome, it's just that I can't do much wit it anymore like I used to do. Ohh yayy theres Safari..

Unable to create PDF files from Excel 2010 x64

I am currently having problems with the Excel PDF plugin that comes with Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.7. Whenever I try to click on "Create PDF" or "Preferences" (or any of the buttons for that matter), I get the following error dialogue:
The Acrobat plugin for Word functions perfectly, only Excel gives me problems. I've already tried repairing Office & Acrobat as well as doing a complete uninstall/reinstall. Has anyone come across this issue before? It should also be noted that the account I am using has full administrator privileges.

Unable to create pdf file from multiple pdf files in Acrobat 7 Professional under Windows 7

I used to be able to cobine multiple pdf's into one but now, all I get is Acrobat freezing!
I have to use task manager to allow me to close it!
Any ideas ?
Kind Regards
Bob

Thanks for the info...
I have had it working just fine on my desktop and my laptop. Both of which run Windows 7 32 bit.
Suddenly it does not work on the laptop!
I also had error messages which related to escript.api and a couple of others. When I checked, I had 2 copies of a similiar name so the system thought I was using 2 copies of the api!
I deleted the extra copies, but since then it does not work, even though I have reinstalled it!
Kind Regards
Bob

Problem Creating PDF Files from Excel 2007

I am running WinXP SP2, Office 2007, and Acrobat v8.1.2. I have an Excel workbook with multiple worksheets. When I was using Excel 2003 I could create a PDF file using five of the six worksheets. Since upgrading to Office 2007 I am unable to create PDF files from Excel. I can create PDF files from Word 2007. When I attempt to use the Acrobat Plug-in to create a PDF I get a message saying the file needs to be saved first. It then attempts to save the file to a strange, somewhat random, file name (e.g. A234G53). When I say OK Excel just hangs and is unresponsive. The way that I can clear it is to stop Excel using Task Manager. I have tried reinstalling Acrobat without successfully solving the problem. Any ideas on how I can diagnose and/or solve the problem?
Thanks.

Is your Excel file on a location outside your machine's disk? If so, try copying to local disk.
Does the Excel file have any protection applied to it? If so, try removing the protection
If these don't work, can you post a sample file that demonstrates the problem.

Unable to create PDF from dwg Files

Hi All,
I suspect this question is old hat but if anybody can provide a solution it would be greatly appreciated. Acrobat 8.3.0 professional edition Windows XP sp3.
It used to work a long time ago but when I try to convert a dwg to PDF the message "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF". I looked at the "create PDF" options in preferences and only security options are shown for Autocad files so I know something is amiss.
I have tried adding a printer using the ini file in the xtras folder in Acrobat and when I look at printing preferences (before and then after the install) all the boxes are blank - again an indication something is wrong?
I have tried the repair function in the control panel - still no good.
Any (polite) suggestions other than buying X?
Many thanks

Interestingly, "PDFMOUTLOOK" is apparenly related to PDF Maker for Outlook. It has also been suggested to be Malware (not good). That would suggest you may have some corruption. I am not saying you do, but just what is hinted at by a web search.
In terms of the printing process. The Adobe PDF printer creates a PS file. With Acrotray active, this PS file causes Acrotray to activate Distiller in the background and complete the conversion of the PS file to PDF. That is the basic conversion process used by Acrobat to create PDF files. Distiller is always in the picture, it just may be running in the background. If Acrotray is not active, the process will stall. Since you are seeing a Distiller log screen, your process seems to be working.
PDF Maker is basically a preprocessor for the Adobe PDF printer. The preprocessor inserts PDF Marks into the PS file that is created to allow the conversion to PDF to include bookmarks, links, etc. My suggestion about PDF Maker (since the print process seems to work) is that there may be something in PDF Maker that is causing the problem. From the web search, it appears it may even be a virus type of aspect that hit your PDF Maker. Again, I am not saying that is the case, only suggesting it as a possibility. If you can create the PDF from the printer, then the basic process of creating PDFs is working and it is then a process of checking out the problems with PDF Maker. For that, I typically suggest turning all of the options off and then adding them back in to see what triggers the problem. You are basically in a trouble shooting mode and need to isolate the problem.

Unable to read PDF files created by FTP Adapter

Hi,
I am unable to read pdf files generated by FTP Adapter with its default settings.
Can anybody guide me how to proceed with it. I guess I need to change something in encoding mechanism in FTP Adapter Outbound Connection Pool, but not sure what has to be.
Thanks,
Richa

Hi all,
I have got its solution. I was unable to read .pdf files because FTP adapter was sending the files just by changing the extension from .txt /.xml to .pdf that is the reason that it was not readable.
We had to write an java code to convert .xml file to .pdf file and then paas it to FTP ADapter.
Thanks

Unable to create PDF from Publisher file

I am able to create .pdf from a .jpg, also from an .xls ... but not from a Publisher document (2007).
I get a prompt to run in repair mode and I tried that (twice) but the problem is not being corrected. At one point I had a message about PDFMOUTLOOK and thought I disabled it. I tried both ways, from inside Publisher, and dire Any help will be greatly appreciated.ctly from Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro ... neither works.

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.
