Why can I not create pdf files from MS Word documents?

I'm using Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.5), and Microsoft Word 2007:  I've noticed just recently that, whenever I try to create a pdf file - from within Microsoft Word - I get a message:  Word has stopped working"....  and then the word program crashes.   Then I get a message that says the adobe add-in isn't working and recommends that I disable it.   This is extremely frustrating!  I've tried going into Acrobat directly to create the pdf, to no avail.  I've tried utilizing the "Repair Acrobat Installation" and that doesn't seem to work either.
The only thing I've noticed which might have caused this problem is I just recently updated Adobe Reader - is there some "conflict" going on between having these two Adobe products installed on the same Computer?

  • Why can I not read PDF files from btcloud.

  • Why can I not open PDF-files in InDesign CS4?

    Hi,
    Well then, as I wrote in the headline... Why can I not open PDF-files?
    I get a notification that says that either the file is already open (which it's not) or it is missing a plug-in thingy for this kind of file.
    So, how do I know which plug-in thing I should chose from Adobe which will solve my problem?
    Could it be enough just to update the program? I tried with 6.0.6. upgrade but it wouldn't even open up. I'm not so good at this type of computerproblems (choosing upgrades, plug-in etc.). The program is not upgraded for a long time, unless it do it automatically, but I think we've chosen it not to....
    Please help!
    /S

  • How can I get a pdf file in a word document?

    How can I get a pdf file into a word document?

    You want to insert a PDF into a Word doc, or you want to convert it?  Either way, Adobe Reader cannot do any of these.

  • How can I change a PDF file into a Word Document

    Regretfully, I am Disabled and unable to watch a Tutorial video online. So, I must use this venue to ask a simply question...Is there a way to make a PDF file into a Word Document? OR, how can I type info into a PDF file? Either answer would help me IMMENSELY!
    Thanks for your time and consideration.

    Using your Adobe ID, I believe you have one free trial on ExportPDF.
    Also, Acrobat is available as a fully functional 30-day trial.

  • Why can't I print PDF files from my iPad or smart phone. Just started this recently.

    Not able to print PDF files from either my iPad or smart phone

    You probably don't have a printer which supports AirPrint:
    What Printers Are AirPrint Compatible? - iPhone / iPod - About.com
    If your printer is not supported, you can buy a utility like PrinterPro from Readdle on the App Store. That's what I've used to print.

  • Why can I not open PDF files any more?

    Why can I not open up most of the PDF files that I receive via email. This has not been an issue before. Do I have to renew something or reload?

    Hi Alan,
    Please download PDF reader if not already.

  • Why can I not open PDF files using adobe reader in firefox?

    When I try to read a PDF file with adobe reader the file looks like it starts to load, I see in the tool bar the page count but the file never opens.

    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
    You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.
    See also:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them
    Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
    You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • Why can I not print PDF files in color?

    Windows 7 Ultimate (x64
    Adobe Reader 10.0.11
    HP Color LaserJet CP1215
    I downloaded U.S.IRS tax Form 1040 for 2014 from Forms and Publications (PDF).  All the text is black. Much of the form has a pale green background that does not extend to the edge of the page.  There are fill-in areas that have a pale purple background.  At least that is the way the form appears when I view it on my PC. 
    When I try to print the form in color, however, all the text is white except for the word "Form" in the upper-left corner.  The green background prints as solid black.  The fill-in areas are white, which makes the white text invisible.  (When I print merely in black-and-white, the text is black, the green background is a very light gray shadow, and the fill-in areas are white.  Thus, the form looks okay.) 
    Also, if I attempt to print a PDF file that contains color images, the images print strangely.    Images are stretched horizontally and then cut off at right edge of the actual image box.  Furthermore, text is white against a background of alternating, narrow, vertical, black and white stripes.  An example is page 8 of the AVG 2015 User Manual from http://download.avgfree.com/filedir/doc/AVG_Free/avg_free_uma_en_2015_15.pdf.  (Again, printing this in black-and-white, the text is black, the background is white, and the image appears as an appropriate black-and-white approximation of the actual image.) 

    Do you have Acrobat installed? Can you open it and load a PDF? If so, select print and select the desired printer. If this does not work, then tell us the error message you get. It would help to know the OS and version of Acrobat. Air is a separate product (and I still don't know what it does, sorry).

  • Why can I not open pdf files in Safari? All I get is a black screen.

    Suddenly Safari will not allow me to open pdf-files, and I have gathered from other discussions that it is a problem. I removed Adobe Reader, to see if Preview would kick in but it did not work. Any suggestions?
    Thankful for any ideas.

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Can Acrobat X Standard create PDF files from Microsoft Word, using "CMYK" color (required by most book printers) instead of "RGB" color?

    I'd like to purchase Acrobat Standard if it will let me control the color space used in the PDF it creates.  I need to send a color file to a commercial book printer, and they require the PDF file to use CMYK colors, not RGB.
    Will Acrobat Standard do this, and if so, how?  Or do I need to get a different Adobe product for this task?

  • Why can I not open PDF files or upgrade Safari

    Upgraded to snow leopard, no PDF files will open. Tried upgrading Safari from 5.0.5 but message said this computer requires 10.5. what can I do ?

    Safari 5.1.10 for Snow Leopard :
    System Requirements
    Mac OS X v10.6.8 Snow Leopard
    If you have 10.6.3, you need to update to 10.6.8 before attempting to install Safari 5.1.10.  Use Software Update from your Apple menu, which should take care of Safari, OS X 10.6.8  & any required security updates too. Backup first, in case of problems - although your files & applications shouldn't be affected.
