Unable to "save as pdf" using Excel

Hi,
This problem concerns SharePoint 2010
We have an issue with "save as PDF" option to the library on one particular site, it appears to work but the .PDF file never appears in the library.
We can save as PDF to the desktop then upload to the library.
Word will save as PDF to the same library without issue.
Would very much appreciate any ideas you might have or help you can give,
Thanks,

If you are able to save as PDF from Word, but not from Excel, it could be a bug in Excel.
Have you checked to see if there are any Excel updates/patches that you do NOT have installed? This kind of thing is usually fixed through a patch.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

I am unable to save a PDF using "create from scanner" on my iMAC.

I can open Acrobat XI and select "Create from Scanner". The document scans and displays on my screen correctly. But, when I click on "File - Save", the Acrobat window disappears and is replaced with "Problem Report for Acrobat". I have checked, and I have the most recent version. I have tried reboot the computer. Still no luck.

Mac OS X 10.9.3
Acrobat 11.0.07
Yes, I have the latest version of Acrobat. Clicking on "Update" tells me there are no updates available.
I have an Epson EF-3530
I have do some testing, it does not matter how the document gets created; Acrobat dies whenever I do "File - Save".
Here is the top of the information displayed in the "Problem Report for Acrobat" window which appears (there is a lot more information, I can post if it would be useful):

Preflight keeps saying "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file, I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?

Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much. But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server. Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed. There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point. Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case? It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt. Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good. Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer. I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped. Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.

Why am I unable to save unsecured PDFs

I have Acrobat 9 on a new Vista PC. All of a sudden I am having difficulty saving downloaded PDF documents, even tho they are not secured (i.e. Properties/Security shows everything Allowed including copying). Am even in email correspondence with one of the PDF's publishers who can't reproduce my problem - i.e. he also thinks that I should be able to save a download of his PDF document !
Neither clicking the save icon in the Acrobat toolbar nor picking File/Save As in the Explorer toolbar brings up the usual save dialogue box.
The strange thing is that the difficulty seems to arise on only some sites/downloads, not all.
Does anyone have any technical insights into this issue? Anything to do with Vista security or McAfee, perhaps?
With thanks for any assistance!!

Hi David,
The suggestion you made did the trick. Can download web pdfs again.
Looking forward to more solutions.

Hi Louis,

I found a decent guy at Adobe who is looking into the matter for me, in
case there are other lurking issues. Meanwhile he suggested an Adobe Acrobat
9.1 workaround that does seem to solve the problem in the short term. Try it
- if it's available in Reader - and good luck!

I'm sorry to hear you are still having problems with Acrobat. I am going to
run a couple of tests with a Vista image here to see if I get the same
issue.

In the mean time, in Acrobat, you would probably benefit from not
displaying the PDF in browser:
menu Edit > Preferences : Internet : uncheck "Display PDF in browser" This
should in theory allow you to save the PDF using Acrobat's own menus.

Another option is to right click a link that points to a PDF and use Save
Target As...

Any trick to save as PDF using Windows 7 and Safari 5.1.7?

Is there a reason I cannot "Save As PDF" using Safari on Windows 7 / PC? Version is 5.1.7
Thanks

You've tried turning off all firewall and antivirus software ? If that doesn't work then you could try downloading the 5.1.1 update via a browser :
original iPad
iPad 2 wifi
iPad 2 gsm/sim
iPad 2 CDMA
iPad 2 new
iPad 3 wifi
iPad 3 gsm
iPad 3 CDMA
When it's finished downloading, in your computer's iTunes press and hold the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button which should let you navigate to the downloaded file.

Save as PDF in Excel rewrites file when saving multiple sheets

Hello,
I'm having issues saving Excel files to PDF when multiple sheets of a workbook are active. I constantly need to print multiple sheets of a workbook for a service report, but when multiple tabs are highlighted to print/save it will save each sheet as the output file but immediately overwrite the saved file with the next sheet. So if I have four sheets active and go to print/pdf/save to pdf I will briefly see a "processing page" message box for each sheet but in the end I will only have one pdf file of the last active sheet. A single sheet will save beautifully but it's kind of a pain to constantly string together the pdf files. I looked through the Excel forum, but it seems they point anything pdf related back to OS X. I'm running XL 12.1.5 and OS X 10.5.6. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've been having the same problem... after not finding a solution on this page, I finally found an answer that worked for me. As the Adobe support link below states... change the "Print Quality" to be the same for all sheets, then use the Print dialog box rather than the Save As dialog box. In the Print dialog box, choose the "save as PDF" option" (on the lower left for me). This finally solved my multiple file problem.

Save as PDF or Excel from BOE

Is it possible to save an Xcelsius chart that has been exported to BOE and is in a dashboard to a pdf or Excel file? This is a popular feature for Webi reports, but it seems to be unavailable for Xcelsius/SWF documents.
We can print using the Print button in Xcelsius 2008, but we don't have Acrobat Professional installed so printing to a PDF is not an option.
Does anyone know a workaround that does not involve purchasing additional software?
Does anyone know when SAP will include this feature in Xcelsius?

it's possible to export the data to Excel but it's difficult to say the least. please see the link below for 3 options depending on your particular situation.

Unable to save Infoview pdf reports in Windows Vista

Good morning,
My coworker needs to be able to save Infoview pdf reports from her Windows Vista PC, but she is presently unable to. She was able to save the reports fine previously from the Windows XP PC she used to have.
Following are the steps taken to arrive at the problem:
1) On a Windows Vista PC, browse to: https://wyinf.hostams.com/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp
2) Logon with appropriate credentials.
3) Navigate to: All > Public Folders > WY WOLFS Reports > Double-click on one of the listed Adobe Acrobat .pdf reports.
4) Now the pdf report is open within the web browser, and "BUSINESSOBJECTS INFOVIEW" is the title above the pdf report.
5) Click on the "Save" button - Nothing happens or appears. (After clicking on the save button, a window should launch that lets you save the pdf file to a desired location. This works fine on Windows XP)
If any of you know of any workarounds to this problem or any settings I could adjust to fix this, please let me know.
Thanks for any help,
Tully

Hi Raveesh
Apologies but we do not have certification done on Vista yet.

Unable to save a PDF created from a secure webpage in Acrobat X

Hi,
Our Acrobat X standard won't 'save' or 'save as' PDFs created from a password secured website. Same symptom on two machines here. Other PDFs work fine.
The workflow we're using is opening acrobat, selecting create pdf from website, and then specifying a website with an https address and entering a username and password to access the site. This generates a pdf which looks great, all the links work etc... but when you click 'save as,' absolutely nothing happens. You're left just looking at your PDF with no save window or anything opening.
This gets done every day in the office here. I suspect the latest update may have caused the issue?

Hi Bill@VT,
Thanks for your reply!
I checked document properties and security is off. I've also unticked "Enhanced Security" under Security (Enhanced) in the Edit > Preferences menu.
This issue is only affecting our acrobat 10 and acrobat 11 users. I still have a couple acrobat 9 users here and they're unaffected.
The Save As button is not greyed out -- it's available but clicking on it just closes the file menu and does not open the save as dialog box.

Can you change X Pro default settings to save all PDFs using "smallest file size" job option?

Is there a way to change Acrobat X Pro's default PDF Save settings to use the settings in Distiller's "smallest file size" job options, or adjust Acrobat's default save settings to a close match?

In Windows you select the printer in the Start>Printers menu and right click to get the properites. You can then go to the settings tab and select the smallest file size job options. When you do it in the printer settings, you have set the default. Be very careful with this choice. It typically reduces the image resolution and embeds no fonts. If you are not distributing the file, then probably not an issue. However, with distribution you risk many folks not being able to read the PDF because of strange characters and low-res image.

Unable to save report output in excel format.

Hi all,
I am facing a problem on 10gR2 Application Server, When I try to run a report from portal, Report shows o/p in the excel but when I try to save the O/P by using File -> save as , it shows only 4 types of files like htm, html, txt.
I have used desformat=delimiteddata and minetype=application/excel.
When I run same report using simple url it allows me to save in excel.
Plz suggests some way to save the o/p in excel.
Regards
Amit.

If you have the Financial Report open there are two options:
- in the bottom right hand corner of the report click the link: "Export In Query ready Mode"
(this opens the report so you can use it as an Excel retrieve)
- from the Hyperion menu, select File>Export>Excel
(this exports the headers as objects and the data grid, so you can manipulate in Excel).
Cheers, Iain

Unable to save MS Word and Excel 2010 and 2013 onto the network share

Hi,
I have read similar cases, but did not work out on the problems we face.
We are using Office 2010 and Windows 7 and it seems like only this combination will encounter saving problem on the networe share (but local / removable disks are fine) -
Other combinations:
Windows XP and Office 2010 - no problem
Windows XP and Office 2003 - no problem
Windows 7 and Office 2003 - no problem
In Microsoft Word 2010, when saving a new document, it will save but create a 0KB file in the network share drive and I notice the blue menu bar of the Microsoft Word 2010 still displays "Document1" instead the new file name.
And only when I click save icon or exit button, Word actually prompts another "Save As" dialog to save the file, and as a result, I have to save the same file and answer MS Word prompt to replace the existing file - and this is the real time that
the document and its contents really got saved. And the blue menu bar then displays the actual file name.
In Microsoft Excel 2010 (also Powerpoint I suppose so), in saving a new excel file, after typing in a file name for the new file in the network share location, it will prompt a dialog box indicating the "File is currently in use"
Similar to MS Word, it will still create a 0KB file in the network share, and only a second time saving and replace the 0KB file, is able to save the file again.
I have tried a lot of ways from Safe Mode, Disable Add-in, Added Trusted Locations to the network share in MS Word and Excel, Uninstall Antivirus software, redo NTFS permission on the network share server folder, etc but the problem cannot
be solved.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Daryl

Thank you Max.
I have tried various storage configurations and share the folders out in Windows Servers and grant user accesses with AD.
These drives configuration involves iSCSI drives, using NAS drive, using internal SAS RAID drives in Windows 2008 servers, all having the same errors, but the latter one was having the most errors almost every first time the users
save their files (includes saving from email attachments), the files will get 0KB.
I have tested LAN cables, switch LAN points in panels and switches, and comes to no avail.
I have patched with the latest office updates (the latest being Office 2010 SP2) also to no avail.
