Unable to find Adobe PDF resource files since SP3 installed

We have a user who is sure since XP Service Pack 3 was installed that he cannot print to PDF. Once he clicks Print he gets an error stating
Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files
"C:\...\Adobe PDF 6.0\Settings\Adobe PDF Converter.joboptions"
Running the installer in repair mode does not work. Reinstalling the whole thing does not work. However when I log in as an admin user the issue does not occur at all. It is Acrobat Standard 6 by the way.
Thanks

Does this occur if you are logged in as the administrator? Have you updated AA8 to the latest version? You very likely need the latest version to run on Win 7, particularly since AA8 is not certified for Win 7. If you have a 64-bit system, there is no question that you need to update.

    I've installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard on Windows 7 operating computer.
    And while I was trying to create PDF from a file, it always shows
    Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files.
    Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?
    Yes or No
    I've pressed yes yet it doesn't really help me and still shows the same message.
    I've pressed no, and it doesn't do anything.
    ANY IDEA?
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

  • Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files error

    Hi Good Day.. I just installed my Acrobat Professional 11 last week.. I had no problem with the 2 computers but in 1 computer I'm experiencing this error while trying to combine excel files into PDF...
    " Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files
    Do you want to run the installer in repair mode? "
    I tried to run in repiar mode but still the same, tried to unsinstall the software and reinstall but still the same.. Did anyone experience the same problem? Please help!
    Thank you!

    I get a similar error, but only under the following conditions:  I must be printing to the Adobe PDF printer and printing multiple pages, one at a time, and then it only happens on the second and subsequent print attempts.  That is to say, the first page prints just fine and this just started yesterday afternoon. The specific file referenced in the error does not exist, but why would it work the first time and not the second?  Since it only started yesterday, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling this morning, but it made no difference.  I don't see anything under print properties like job-options and it is a single user, unshared printer.  Thoughts?  I understand the same thing is happening in at least one other of our locations, but no one there has looked into it yet.  This is a BIG problem for me, however, and I need to find an answer quickly.

  • Adobe Distiller 11.0.9 - Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\AMT"

    When I attempt to launch Adobe Distiller Pro 11.0.929, I get an error:
    Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\AMT" You must have Administrator privileges to install these files. Please contact your local system administrator.
    Does anyone know how I might resolve this error?  Re-installing Acrobat fixes it, however I'm getting this error on multiple machines so I would prefer to not have to re-install if possible. Any clues or hints you might have are very welcome!

    Yes, the folder exists and I am able to access it.

  • Unable to find Adobe PDF resource files/Expired Certificate

    A user running CS4 is unable to use the Save As PDF (the Acrobat COM Add-on - not the native Office feature) function from Office 2007. The error displayed is:
    Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files.
    "Acrobat PDFMaker"
    You must have Administrator privileges to install these files. Please contact your local system administrator."
    I have done the repair install with no change. This error still occurs.
    In researching this issue I visited the Office Trust Center and found that the Adobe Systems, Incorporated VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2004 CA certificate expired on 11/5/2009. The user believes this is when the error started to occur.
    Is the certificate the cause of this error? Is there a newer code signing certificate available?
    Any other suggestions on getting this issue resolved?

  • How to fix: "Unable to find Adobe PDF resource files?"

    Acrobat 10 Pro: When creating PDF file, I get the message "Unable to find Adobe PDF resource files".  How do I fix this?

    Usually Acrobat is looking for the settings files as I recall. The problem is typically that they are located in a folder to which you as a user do not have access. You can open Distiller and see if you have access to the settings files there. You may either need to set the access to the folder where the files are located, or copy them to a new location and activate them in Distiller. Then go to the printer properties and select your default settings. At least this is what I would try.

  • Unable to find Adobe PDF resource files on Acrobat X Pro

    I have a Windows 7 32-bit machine that receives the following error when attempting to create a PDF from Microsoft Office Word 2010: "Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files. "Acrobat PDFMaker" You must have Administrator priveleges to install these files. Please contact your local systems administrator" The user is a local administrator. Note: This does NOT happen on Excel 2010, only Word.
    I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Acrobat Pro, running the installer in safe mode from the default local administrator account, printing directly to the PDF printer and following several other suggestions from similar threads.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Error - Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files

    When attempting to create a PDF from a "dot DOC file" I receive "Unable to to find Adobe PDF resource files."  As part of the message the dialog box asks if I want to run install in repair mode.  I have clicked the "yes" button but the problem remains and I cannot create the PDF.  Clicking the "no" button does nothing but make the dialog box disappear.  I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled using my original program disc for version 7.0.
    What can I do?

    OK, I figured it was related to the joboptions. That is a typical problem when permissions come up. You need to be sure you have access to the folder that is mentioned. If you are administrator, that would normally not be a problem. But that is typically the issue. If it is empty as you suggest, then that is definitely an issue. You should be able to search for the files on your system. For this machine with VISTA, the joboptions that are used typically are under "C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings". The optional ones are under "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings" for AA8 (I am logged in as the administrator). I have not checked my Win7 machine, but I suspect things are still under the users folders.

  • When i create a pdf in adobe standard get a unable to find adobe pdf resource file

    when i create a pdf in adobe standard get a unable to find adobe pdf resource file

    Hi! I believe you are trying to ask a question about Adobe Acrobat Standard. If that is the case, asking in the Acrobat forums would get it a quicker response. This forum is for Adobe Connect.
    Otherwise if I mis-assumed, please rephrase to help us better understand the issue at hand.

  • Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files

    I get this error when trying to merge several files into one PDF document. The files are a mix of JPG, PDF and DOC (Word 2003 running under Windows 7). It fails with the Word file but converts the rest. Where do I find the missing resource files?
    I have tried the repair option that comes up with the error message, and also a complet uninstall and re-instll, to no avail.

    Not sure if that is the problem. I am using the 32 bit version of Windows 7. From what I've seen elsewhere this is a fairly common problem as it has been reported in association with other things in Adobe programs. Adobe is noticeably silent on the issue!
    Thanks anyway.

    This is my first post here.  YES, I have searched for same/similar threads, but none of the offered "fixes" work.
    I have 5 Dell Optiplex 740 computers running XP Pro, SP3.  All have current Dell BIOS of 2.2.4.  Most are current with Microsoft security patches/ updates, as they are set for auto update.  4 are running Acrobat Standard 8.1.2.  1 is running Acrobat 9 Standard.
    All 5 are experiencing the following error message:
    I have tried the repair option; I have uninstalled and reinstalled; I have uninstalled and installed v.9 on the one, and I am still receiving the error message.  I am at wits end and need help!
    Is there an expert around here that could offer any assistance?

  • Unable to find Adobe PDF Resource Files on Startup

    I've been getting this error message every time I start up anymore. It asks me to install in repair mode but that does nothing, I've tried to re-install twice now, still nothing. I followed the files of "C:\Documents and Settings:\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\*.joboptions" , but I can't get past Application data because the adobe file doesn't exist in it, even when I use Run to find it. I'm using XP Pro SP3 and this is the Adobe Master Collection. Please help!

    I went through windows explorer and after I ran the repair I was able to find the adobe file in the applications file, then I found the Adobe PDF file and looked in it, found nothing. the *joboptions file is not in it. Then I ran a search through out the system and still found nothing. The folders don't seem to have restrictions on them.

  • Try to convert doc to PDF, Unable to find "Adobe PDF resourse files, Ask help

    Hi guys,
    I am tryng to convert word doc file to PDF by acrobat v9.0 pro, I got the message as "Unable to find "Adobe PDF resourse files", and "Acorbat could not open 'filename' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ...".  I did several times to run the installer to repair it,  and remove and re-installed several times with different folders  for the Adobe acrobat. I also did check the setting by "Preferences" under the item "Edit'. But nothing changed. I use it for generating and merging 1 or more doc files into a PDF file, so the micorsoft word which can make PDF file or use PDF printer is not useful for my object. Any ideas and helps? I really appreaciate anyone can give me help, Thanks a lot.

    You don't need Acrobat for this at all.
    If you select "Print..." there is a "PDF..." button in the lower left corner of the dialog. Click the button and select "Save as PDF..." or you can do "Open in Preview..." and save from there.
    OS X has had the ability to generate PDFs since the 10.0 days. The whole graphics infrastructure is based on PDFs. You have no need whatsoever for Acrobat on the machine to do this.
