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.

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.

Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1

Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1
I can print anything else from either the Desktop or Start but not a PDF. No error message but just does not print.
Update: down loaded Adobe Reader which runs on the desktop so when I read a PDF file it now runs on the desktop and I can print it.

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.

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.

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

Can't print pdf files after upgrading to Adobe Reader XI

Hi,
I can't print pdf files after recently upgrading to Adobe Reader XI.
Two error messages appear:
1.- Error when starting the application because it couldn't find LXBBGF.DLL. Re-installing the application can solve the problem.
2.- Can not load "LXBBPRP.DLL". Using defaults. Error: 126
I can print other files (word, etc) with the same printer.
Thank you for your advice

Hi Pat,
Finally I followed the instructions from another similar discussion on this web site. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore...
I first uninstalled the Adobe Reader XI and then intalled an older version (Adobe Reader X). Now I can print pdf files!!
Thank you anyway for your advice!

Unable to open PDF files after update failed

I have not be able to open any of my many PDF files after last update. The update failed - error message "Error 1327.Invalid Drive:F\". Drive F is where I plug in my flash drive, there is nothing in drive F. I am working on my Ed.D and have 100's of PDF files pertaining to my research. I need to be able to open these files. I use a lot of these every day. I can't unstall the program -- get the same error message, can't repair it. Nothing works. Can anyone tell me what to do. I need a answer fast.

Some people in other posts have suggested to insert a USB drive into F drive.

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..

Lost pdf files after upgrading to Reader 9

I recently upgraded to Reader 9 and now notice that a bunch of pd
f files I had stored in verious folders in My Documents have disappered!
Running XP Home SP3. Any ideas what happened to my pdf files??
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I figured it was likely unrelated to the upgrade of Reader, but a couple of possibilities still lingered in my mind:
First, the Reader upgrade was done by my better half, and I believe she performed the upgrade in response to a sudden pop-up window prompting you for an upgrade - a commom tactic for spreading viruses. And secondly, the pdf files I lost were created by CutePDF (freeware), so the thought crossed my mind that Adobe would not mind pdf files created by competitive software to disappear...
At this point I think the probable cause was a virus.

Since the Reader 9 upgrade only affects the Reader 8 software and associated Windows Registry files, not documents, it's 100% likely that this upgrade had nothing to do with the disappearing files.
It's like filling up your gas tank and suddenly noticing that one of your tires is flat. One has no way of causing the other.
It's cases like this that keep me telling people every day to be sure and back up important files to some external media (flash drive, CD-R, DVD-R or eve an external HD).

Very slow times on iBooks when open PDF files after upgrading IOS 5

Hi,
After I had upgraded my ipad 1 to the new iOS 5 every time that I open a PDF file inside iBooks it takes, at least, one minut. After it works fine and I don't have special problems when I'm reading but on finishing it and returning to the library it takes one other minute. It's annoying!!
Inside the library I have about 200 pdf files.
Before my upgrading all worked fine!
Anyone has any suggestions?
Thanks,

Usually related to file associations in Windows. Right click on the PDF and select the Open With option and select Acrobat. Be sure to check "always open with."

Unable to access PDF files after downloading 30-day free trial for ExportPDF

Hello,
Please accept my apology if I have landed on a page that may or may not offer what I do hope, someone might be able to provide a successful solution which will enable me to access a program I downloaded earlier today, Export PDF, offered by Adobe’s website based on a 30-day free trial.
Prior to landing on this page, I tried numerous other venues through their websites, starting even from the original beginning instructions, only to end up in a forum I assume must exist for the purpose in finding an answer I cannot seem to locate.
Had I not spent the amount of time and effort (and desire) in opting to try out this program prior to committing to and purchasing it, I would not bother with seeking a solution.
Following the online instructions to download the specified free trial period, I signed up with all requested information including -- a unique username, password, email address, followed by the process of verifying the given email address, which ultimately displayed a notification window indicating a completed successful installation.
Hoping to export a PDF file I had accessed earlier in the day, when I opened the file a screen I had never seen before popped up. Briefly grayed out (basically blank), a warning message appeared stating that sign in was required by the Adobe member then proceeded by reading The User Terms, which must be agreed to and accepted before access to any documents would be allowed.
Both of these required steps were followed and completed during and after the download and installation process. At the top right hand corner of this page, next to "Welcome, ____________ (my user name)" and the option ( Sign out ), I find it ironic that something I never would have thought to be the difficult and frustrating process it has become, to ultimately be left with one option other than 'Sign out' and that was to click on 'Help' -- which opened the page I am currently on.
So if anyone is willing to entertain this odd dilemma, I offer my genuine appreciation for your time and solution, should one exist. Otherwise, I’ll just (sarcastically) chalk it up to one of those days spent with technology that leaves me wondering why I bothered in the first place.
Again, many thanks for any input and suggestions.

Hi Robyn Renee\'Drake
I'm a bit confused about what service/software you've installed.
There is no trial of the ExportPDF service (and, it's not something that you install; instead, you access if via a website). Perhaps you downloaded the free Adobe Reader, installed that, and then signed up for ExportPDF through Adobe Reader?
Can you try going to http://exportpdf.acrobat.com and try to sign in there with your username and password? If you're able to log in there, you have a subscription to ExportPDF.
Please let me know how it goes, and we can take it from there.
Best,
Sara

Problems opening PDF files after upgrading file server to 2012 R2

Hi,
At the weekend we upgraded our main file server from Windows 2003 to 2012 R2.
Since the upgrade, users (including myself) can only open one PDF document at a time from the file server. If I double click a PDF file, it opens like normal, however If I double click another PDF file, the acrobat reader flashes (in task manager I can see another instance AcroRd32.exe starts and then exits) but the second document doesn't open.
If I close the first document down, and then try and open the second one, then it opens with no problems.
This only affected opening files on the new file server, opening multiple files on a local drive is fine.
If I disable 'enable protected mode at startup' then I can open up multiple documents from the file server. I'd prefer not to have to do this.
The users are using Acrobat Reader 11.0.10 on both Windows 7 64bit and Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this? And does anyone have a workaround other than disabling protected mode?
Thanks
Joe

An update...
The new fileserver has a different name than the old server. We have a CNAME alias pointing the old name to the new name.
I only get the problem when accessing the PDF documents with the old name, when accessing via the new name, everything works as expected.
However there are lots of shortcuts and other other links to the old name, so finding a workaround would still be good.
Cheers
Joe

Unable to open .pdf files after installation of 9.1.3

Hiya. I'm using XP SP3 w/Firefox 3.5.3 and IE 8.
When I try to open a .pdf file from Firefox (and I assume IE, which I never touch with a 10 foot pole), Adobe Reader opens, but then a blank dialog box (with a graphic of a ? in a bubble) pops up and all I can do is click the "OK" button and it closes Reader completely.
I've restarted Firefox, rebooted my computer, no Adobe products were running when I did the installation, and no errors occured during the installation.
I can open .pdf files from my HDD just fine, only when I try to open them from a browser window does the problem occur.
Help?

That's all it does.
Like I said, I can open .pdf files that I've saved to my HDD, but opening them from the web just does this.
