"Unexpected Error" when I try to save as a PDF or export my form.

I spent 3 days creating a complicated form in Forms Central (and I'm SO not happy about that). Now, when I try to export the form or save the form as a PDF, I get an unexpected error. I wasn't happy with this tool before, but now I'm ready to scream. I have logged in and out multiple times. I have rebooted. What is going on?

Hi;
I am sorry to hear you have been frustrated. I can certainly try to help you with the download issue.
Have you tried to use another Web browser? The download process is controlled by Flash Player and it is always recommended to make sure that Flash Player is up to date. You can get the latest from: get.adobe.com/flash/
Saving as PDF is working for me in my forms, I can try your form to see if it could be a form specific issue, if you'd like me to check it out please share your form with me [email protected] following these instructions:

Thanks,

Am I the only one for whom Illustrator 5.5 unexpectedly crashes when I try to save a doc?

Am I the only one for whom Illustrator 5.5 unexpectedly crashes when I try to save a doc on Yosemite?Compatibility with Yosemite — Illustrator CS5.5

Various folders. It usually allows me to re-save older files, but a new save is practically impossible to accomplish. I tried Reducing Transparency, as suggested in earlier posts to no avail. Also, when I drag an eps icon into Illustrator, it asks me if I want to retain the 9-slice scaling options for symbols — not sure what that means. Tried that both ways, with no results. Just had it crash on me 8 times this evening!

Dante font used in manuscript - when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

Dante font used in manuscript … when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

OK, we've got it!
What is happening is that when you use Microsoft's save as PDF in Word, the font isn't embedded even though the font is tagged to allow embedding. Furthermore, Microsoft doesn't properly put the font name into the PDF file such that Acrobat or Reader can readily find the font installed on your system such that the text can be properly displayed and/or printed. Acrobat and Reader attempt to display and/or print the text using a “substitution font” and of course, as they say, YMMV (“your mileage may vary”)!
I personally submitted the report of this problem (both the embedding and the font name problem) to Microsoft. They acknowledge the bug, tried a fix and provided me a build with it, but it wasn't right. Maybe they will ultimately fix it, maybe they won't. We don't know yet. We do know that if it is fixed, it will be fixed only for Office 2013 (problem occurs with all Office applications since they use the same PDF generation code) and thus such a fix won't help you.
Adobe Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro both provide an Adobe PDFMaker plug-in to Office applications (including full support for Office 2010) that adds an Acrobat Toolbar as well as a Save as Adobe PDF menu item. The resultant PDF file fully supports embedding of OpenType CFF, TrueType, and Type 1 fonts and in many other ways produces much superior PDF with a full range of PDF generation options not available with the Microsoft PDF. (Note that beginning with Office 2013, Microsoft does not support Type 1 fonts in Office documents at all, even for existing documents!) The Acrobat Office functions are widely used and respected in the end user community and whatever “issues” there are (all software has “issues” of some type - it is a matter of how many and how severe), you should be in much better shape for PDF production that with what you currently are using.
Good luck and let us know if this resolves your problems. (Note that you can download and install a free fully-functional 30 trial of Acrobat Pro to assure that it meets your needs! You can then buy a license and activate what you already have installed.)

Does Save As-work?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

When I try to save as a PDF

When I try to save a PS image as a PDF I get a "Could not save as PDF because of a Program error", do I need to uninstall the CS5 and reinstall? Is there a special program for complete uninstall? - Robert

Brett N
You're right, if a workaround works it's good. I don't use pdf's much either, usually just to send images if the receiver is on a PC as I work on a Mac. I had to send an image to a printer for a brochure so I tried to send a press quality pdf. I ended up sending a tif. I tried the Adobe posting to see someone had experience with this problem before calling my computer technician-at a cost. Your comment about fonts and locations prompted me to check files and read the window details more carefully, not just click continue.
So thanks, you really were very helpful. Robert

Keep getting error when I try to convert tif to pdf

I keep getting an error when I try to convert a scanned document (*tif) to a pdf.

Well, this is the Reader forum. The PDF Pack one is here: Adobe PDF Pack (read only)

I have followed ALL instructions for Firefox Sync and keep getting "Unexpected Error" when I try to log in on desktop.

1) have refreshed Firefox - doesn't help
2) have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox - doesn't help
3) have updated ALL other machines to current version Firefox - they are syncing fine, doesn't help this machine
Any suggestions?

No. I cannot log into an account. I cannot create a new account. I cannot Sync anything. I get the same sequence of events on two different machines: 1) I enter my info and hit return, 2) the little circle spins like something is happening, 3) within 10-15 seconds a red bar appears that says "Working", and 4) within another 10-15 seconds the red bar reads "Unexpected Error."
This same sequence also happens on a BRAND NEW laptop I just brought home from work yesterday and installed Firefox for the first time.
Could this be something with my home network settings?
p.s. I am the question originator... somehow in the process of implementing previous suggestions my old profile was deleted
********************** UPDATE at 12:57pm Thursday
This HAS to be something with my network settings at home. I am now at the office where Sync is working just fine on my work desktop and the BRAND NEW work laptop where I was getting the error messages when I tried this at home.
Any suggestions on where to look?

If I change https to http I receive file. Or Business Object server have set ssl in Tomcat but we havenu2019t got set ssl in business object cms server. We want only to have ssl communication on our page but not in fat client Desktop Intelligence.
The same function but not in edit windows work properly.
We got Business Object R3.1 SP2.07

SSL just on Tomcat (Client Browser to Tomcat implementation) should work with no problems with Java Report Panel. No SSL for CORBA communications between BOE servers needed.
There must be some config issue - I think it'll be easier to find out and fix this if you open a support ticket.

JApplet errors when I try to save to a file

I'm having trouble getting my program (yet another Sudoku assignment given to a student!) to save to a file.
I have written to files before and never encountered this problem and I think it is because my program runs as a JApplet in the "Applet Viewer".
The error I am getting is: Error: access denied (Java.io.FilePermission test write)
I have been looking this up in various places in an attempt to give my program permissions to save a file, tried editing the java.policy file and have read the FAQ at http://java.sun.com/sfaq/#read which tells me to edit the hotjava/properties file, which i can't seem to find.
Anyone have a "Dummies guide to letting your JApplet write to a file" guide laying around?
Thanks
-Mark

Once you learn to sign an applet, it's pretty easy. That gives you access to do whatever you want in your applet. Since the applet is in the browser security sandbox, you can't do anything to harm the users machine without their permission (signing).
You can edit the security property on your own browser but that is browser specific....you can google that one. It's easier to learn to sign an applet.
If you have trouble doing that, post back with specifics. I'll have to look up my notes on how I do it.

Mail Version 7.3 gives me this location is read-only error when I try to save messages to my hard drive even though I have full permissions to use the folders

Mail is suddenly not allowing me to save Mail messages (nor attachments) to my hard drive. Insists that the location is read-only, which it's not (I've checked and rechecked the folder permissions). I'm the only person who uses my computer. Anyone else having issues? Mail has also been quitting off and on lately; never used to crash -- ever.
System 10.9.3.

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.

Unexpected error when trying to sign in to sync

Version 32.0.3 installed. I've been getting a message that Firefox unable to sync for the last **days So when i tried to log out of sync and log back in. I get an error "unexpected error" when i try to log in. So i tried to create a new account and get the same issue from the log in page. Have looked at everything listed on troubleshooting sync page Still the same issue.

HI mfackler,
That usually means something has gone wrong. If you have already tried to sign out and back in in accounts.firefox.com please provide the following troubleshooting information for further investigation:
* How do I turn on sync logs:
# Open about:config and turn on: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess and services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks
# Restart Firefox and look at: about:sync-log
# Logs and error messages will be located here
Please also use pastebin.mozilla.org for sharring any errors that relate to this issue.
Thank you.

Server Error: Unexpected Error when running Napa SharePoint 2013 App

I am getting an error "Server Error : Unexpected error" when I try to run a SharePoint 2013 app in Napa Development environment.
It starts the process normally but after it shows "Uninstalling previous version" it throws the error. This has been happening since yesterday.Someone help

I have a solution to the problem. I had a folder with a JSON file. On renaming the file to .txt, the app ran normally. I believe .json files are not supported in SharePoint hence the error.

Hi MsSunnyD,
Try uninstalling Adobe Acrobat using the Adobe cleaner Tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, try installing Adobe Reader XI. That should resolve the problem.
