Why can't Distiller 8.2.3 can't convert postscript file to pdf?

My client wants me to generate pdf files thru Distiller. I've always done this successfully. Now Distiller's message says:

I have preflighted this file and there is no Helvetica in the file.
What can I do?

You must update it through iTunes from your computer.
Connect your device to your PC with latest iTunes installed.  Once successfully connected, it will appear under Device on the lsft Pane of the iTunes.  Then on the right Pane, it will show you your current iPad IOS version and a button to update or "Check for update"

  • Missing page while converting Postscript files to PDF using Distiller 9.

    Hi
    Due to some incorrect hexadecimal code in the post script, one of the pages is not getting created in the full pdf. So, we can say that the page is missing in the complete pdf file.
    Here is my snapshot of the issue:
    1. Offending command issue on a particular post script data is coming up due to some incorrect hexadecimal data.
    2. If I run the postscript through Distiller 8, report is getting generated without any missing data.
    3. Whereas, if I run it throught Distiller 9.1.3, Distiller is ignoring the page due to following warning.
    %%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
    Stack:
    41
    ( À
    4. If I run the same Postscript file in Distiller 9.3 (latest version), issue is going away.
    5. But I have another Report pdf with the same  issue but this time with a different hexadecimal exception.
    %%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%

    So, either way, even if I upgrade my version of Acrobat from 9.1.3 to 9.3, issue doesnt go away. I think the new Acrobat Distiller is buggy and introducing new problems when compared to Acrobat Distiller 9.
    1. Works fine Distiller 8.0
    2. More problems with 9.1.3
    3. Lesser problems with 9.3 but I cant upgrade to 9.3 unless i see all the missing page problem going away.
    Can someone urgently look into this?
    Regards
    Hari

    I am calling Distiller using command line.
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrodist.exe" /f/Q/N C:\Reporter\debug\report.dst
    report.dst contains the the names of the post script files.
    (I have already contacted Distiller server forum and I was told to post the request in Acrobat forum)

  • I can't convert emailed files to PDF any more.

    Hi, all !
    I have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat (XI) and have been using Adobe for years.  It has worked flawlessly.  Up to now.  Of late, when I receive a file, and double-click on it to convert it to PDF, the following MS pop up appears:  "Security Alert:  Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded." 
    I've gone through my Norton settings, and it clearly has nothing to do with Norton.  It it Microsoft?  I have 64 bit Windows 7, MS Office.

    Hi wiegs,
    Where are you downloading the PDF files from? Are they opening in a browser, and you're trying to download from there? Or are you downloading directly from your mail client? Please see this article from Microsoft for starters: http://bit.ly/1rhHHjA
    If that doesn't do the trick, please tell us more about where you are downloading the PDFs files from.
    Best,
    Sara

  • I can't convert my files to pdf

    I have not been able to convert my files to pdf documents since last Friday.  Is there a problem with my account or is adobe having an issue?

    Hi Sue Purcell,
    I am not aware of any system outages. Are you receiving an error message when you try to convert? If so, what is that error? Please provide specific details about the problem you're experiencing, and we will try to get it sorted out for you.

  • Can I open Postscript Files directly in a browser?

    Hi all,
    the Acrobat plugin allows me to open pdf files directly in a browser. Acrobat can convert Postscript files to pdfs and then display them- but can I just get this in one step and display ps files directly in my browser?
    We are using an electronic logbook that contains hundreds of images in .ps format and it would be extremely helpful not to open an external program all the time.
    Cheers,
    Osteph

    No Adobe software does this, and I'm not aware of any other software that provides a PostScript browser plug-in.
    You could use the watched folder in Distiller to convert a folder full of PS files to PDF if that helps.

    I think I figured it out.  I set the compatibility mode to Windows Server 2008 (which is the OS on the server we are using) and it opened just fine.  Whoop Whoop.  Thanks for your help.

  • Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on Mac?

    Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on my MacAir (OS X 10.9.2)? Generally, I can open PDFs on my Mac, but in this case, I opened on iPhone, and not on computer! Also pptx file from one sender opened on iPhone, and not on Mac, and the same pptx sent from another person wouldn't open on either! Help!

    Hi there.  I think as far as PowerPoint files go (pptx) you will need a copy of Office or some other compatible software (e.g. Keynote) to open it on your Mac.  On an iPhone there is a viewer built in just so you can take a look at most common attachment types.  If you have a copy of Microsoft Office on your Mac you should be able to open the pptx files in PowerPoint.
    OS X definitely has a PDF viewer, it's called Preview.  I think you can also load Adobe Acrobat if you want but I've stayed away from it for years as I find Preview faster and better.
    If you still can't open a PDF file attached to an email message on your MacAir by double clicking on it, could you let us know what error message you get, or what happens?  That will help people to help you.

    why can't I attach files with my hotmail account on my mac pro since I upgraded to lion?

    i can' t believe it but after 3 hours of reading everything i could find on this subject i discovered the answer on accident: IT'S THE CLOCK!!!!! I know that it sounds crazy but go to settings and go to date and time and set it to the automatic date and time, even if it's the wrong time. after i did that, everything worked perfectly! aldiko accepted my adobe id and imported my purchased book happily.  i hope it is that easy for everyone, best of luck.

    I can change it in the Finder if logged in as admin or via the terminal as root.

    "You don't, they only appear in open file dialogs and in tool panels like in iMovie, iPhoto.
    To view your media, you open the app that you use to manage that type of media." this on the other hand was zero help
    What you did doesn't show the Media Browser. It just shows the folders where your media is stored. You may be correct that was all that cobacc wanted. 
    The Media Browser shows the actual media in thumbnails so that you can preview the media.
    However, neither requires any Sharing services to be enabled.

  • Why can't I do file sharing between Macintoshes ?

    Why can't I do file sharing between two Macintoshes ?
    I have 2 Macs in the same room.   Both are connected to the same router (wired, not wifi), I have verified their connection by going to the Internet successfully on both machines.
    I have disabled all security functions I am aware of. I turned off firewall, turned on file sharing, allowed all users for file sharing.
    Yet, when I tried to connect to the other Mac permission is denied. I'm told to contact the network administrator, (that's me).   Both machines are running OS 10.9.5.
    Strangely, I was able to do “screen sharing” which doesn't solve my problem.
    I just want to move files from one Mac to the other.
    Is there something I'm missing here?

    (Yosemite falsely identifies iMovie HD 06 as not compatible.)
    Actually, it is by design; according to their Engineers, they have coded iMovie HD 06 not to launch - that is what I was told after submitting my bug report. So, it still works in Mavericks, but that is as far as it'll go.

  • Can't covner word files to pdf. have acrbot 8 and win 7.  HELP!

    Need help troubleshooting why I can't convert word docs to pdf on new system.  Had MS XP and now Win 7.  Adobe Acrobat 8 is common program for conversion.  HELP!

    Acrobat uses Word to do the conversion. So the version of Word must be compatible with the version of Acrobat. Saving as an older DOC does not help that.
    You can still print from Word to Adobe PDF, but not use PDFMaker if Acrobat and Office are not compatible. We can't say whether they should be because you haven't told us the version of Word, but see this page for a list of compatible versions Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications
