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

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

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.)

"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:

The steps I’m following are described below:

- Move the square to the place where you want to put the signature and click.
- Fill in the “field name” with the name of the person who has to sign here.
- When it is done, click anywhere on the screen.
- In Tasks, click on “Close Form editing”.
- Go to menu “File -> Save as -> Reader Extended PDF ->Enable additional features”, click on “Save now”.
- Fill in the file name and click on “Save”.
2. Save the Form

InDesign CC keeps crashing when I try to save out a printable PDF with Trim and/or Bleed marks.

Hello!
Everytime I try to save out a PDF (Printable, not Interactive) and tick trim or bleed marks, Indesign just crashes.
I've uninstalled InDesign and Acrobat. Made sure I had no Preferences saved from CS6, then installed again, but the same keeps on happening.
I have a print deadlien Monday so I really need this to work.
It used to work fine in CS6.
Can anybody help?

I recently had the same problem. I would try to publish and the program would lock up and crash.
I discovered it just to be a small bit of code I imputed wrong for an action. I had a comma instead of a quote before one of my commands.
Example... I had 'GoTo" instead of "GoTo"
I fixed the error and all worked fine!
But I wonder why such a small error would crash the program instead of flagging the error when I attempted to publish? That feature worked great in Flash!!
Thanks,
John O.

Which system?
Any plugins?

Where do you save the PDF?
How do you save the PDF? Which options?
Does restarting Illustrator help?
Is it only this file or all files?

Illustrator hangs or crashes when I try to save as PDF

I am using Illustrator to creates designs for a Flex app. My document has a lot of symbols, rasterized images and layers (it's about 8.1 MB).
Illustrator has stopped doing two things that I need it to do:
1) It just hangs (infinite beachball on OS X) when I try to Save As an "Acrobat Viewable" AI file.
2) It also hangs (or crashes on my PC) when I try to save as PDF, regardless of the options I choose.
I can Save or Save As as long as I don't include Acrobat support.
Any ideas on this? Thanks!

Started eliminating layers, one by one, and trying a PDF export.
It hung and hung and hung until I had deleted about 10 first level layers... then it hung for a bit and boom! It exported.
I went into the original doc and deleted the last layer I had removed from the test doc and it hung as usual.
My conclusion? No bad objects - just too many layers for Illustrator to handle in a timely manner. I've officially taxed the program, which was totally crashing it on my Windows machine.
Why so many layers? Since I am skinning a Flex app by exporting a .swf skin file from Illustrator, I have all of the app layouts in one .ai file. This consists of 46 first level layers, and hundreds of secondary and tertiary layers. It also includes a truckload of embedded graphics sprinkled throughout for layout purposes. Plus symbols.
It's just too much for Illustrator - a program not really designed for this workflow - to handle.
I don't want to make separate files for each site section as that'd require me to port the symbols back and forth all the time when I make a simple change, like a button style adjustment.
Any other advice on managing this better is appreciated, but nothing jumps out as an easy and scalable solution.
Thanks for the help, especially jean.

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.

MobileMe was terminated on that date and you cannot access your iDisk using the Finder. You should sign out in System Preferences>MobileMe to prevent error messages - it's best to turn of any iDisk or other syncing first.
There is currently a 'limited' grace period during which you can download files from your iDisk and Gallery, and migrate to iCloud if you haven't already done so. Go to http://me.com and follow the links there. We do not know how long this facility will continue to be available.

I can't print multiple pages from a website using the site's print button or 'file - print' and if I try to save as a PDF, it still only saves the first page and then cuts off.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Firefox version 3.6.8. When I'm on a website and try to print the info on the site, whether I use the site's own 'print' option, or I go to the Firefox toolbar and try to use 'File->Print', only 1 page prints out - it just cuts off mid-page. If I try to save as a PDF instead, the same thing happens in exactly the same spot - it saves as a 1-page PDF and cuts off in the middle of the page. I've already tried all of the suggestions here https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Printing+a+web+page?s=printing&as=s and the suggestions here http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages and nothing has worked.
I appreciate any help!!

I have the same problem... not being able to print website 'Print' pages. I have read carefully the above link and have followed the reset directions in about:config, but I still cannot print in Firefox. Both Google Chrome and IE work perfectly every time. I have verified that the correct printer is selected and that the margins are in order (0.5 all around happen to be what mine are set for). I have resorted to use the Firefox Add On "View this Page in IE" whenever I need to print something. Works like a charm, but come on... it should work in Firefox too! I know there is some setting or something, but the Problems_printing_web_pages link had nothing there that worked for me.

I don't have any problems merging the pdf documents by dragging them in preview, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I've tried save and export, but none merge the documents after saving... how can I create the file (with all the pdf files) after merging?

That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

Open a PDF. Cry ah-ha!
Select one of Acrobta's Content Editing tools. The save icon becomes active. Cry ah-ha!
Selection of / use of other tools can result in the save icon becoming active.
Try each in turn (do remember to have a PDF open).
Cry with delight at each Ah-Ha moment.
Be well...

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 open an .ai/pdf file received through my email, it won't open and asks for a password. I have never set up any kind of password for email security, but have tried typing in my standard passwords. Nothing works. I wonder if it has anything to do with the use of my Wacom3 Tablet...I've been having trouble with it and was getting the same message when trying to open the User's Manual in my Applications/WacomTablet file on my hard drive. Any suggestions? I just downloaded the latest version for the Wacom and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (which I hate, and my CS3 hates, etc.)

It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.
