Why can't IOS users create PDF files anymore?

WHy can I no longer create PDF documents from my IPad? I used to be able to use this feature, now it is gone! Why can't IOS users access this feature?

Hi Timo,
The Create PDF feature is part of Adobe PDF Pack (the paid subscription service) and is used to convert a non-PDF file format to PDF.
I see that the "Getting Started" PDF document is opened in the screenshot above. You cannot convert a PDF document to a PDF document.
The error message is trying to tell you that you need to open the "supported format" (e.g. Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, RTF) then tap Create PDF to convert it to a PDF document.
Please take a look at the following document about Adobe PDF Pack (which also includes Export PDF).

Do you actually want to covert a document to PDF using Create PDF? If not, please let us know what you are trying to do so that we can assist you. Thank you.

Good afternoon SaraThanks for responding. Yes, I have been able to open these files before without a password. Funny thing is it is happening on both my husband's laptop as well as mine. I'd appreciate any help you could give me but the file is very personal. So, if you can assist in a way that won't compromise the security I would be grateful for your help.Thanks and have a great day!Kim Morse

Why can't I download a pdf file using internet explorer as my browser. I can download pdfs using firefox.

Gilad D,
Thanks for the support.
I would guess the plugin is enabled since when I use Foxfire as my browser, all pdfs download and are readable. (just doesn’t happen when I use IE as my browser, I get a blank screen with a small “x” in the upper left corner)
I will try your proposed solution.

Why can't I open any PDF files ?

I am running Safari Version 5.1.5 (6534.55.3) on my iMac 10,1. After my last Adobe update, my pdf files are nothing but a black window. Have tried reverting to an earlier version of Adobe, but still getting a black window. What next steps should I take? Thanks.

Why can't I open/see PDF files that are embedded in an email or sent through the internet?

I can read/see PDF files that are attached to an email, but I can't see/read them if they are embedded in an email or sent through the internet.

I have a similar problem. I can open, read, and save PDF files, but I can't view my online bank statement on my Mac. The statement opens automatically if I use a PC, but on my Mac the page says I need Adobe Reader to view my statement. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader. The problem seems to be that that the plugin only goes to the Libray. It doesn't get installed into Safari or into FireFox either.

Why can you not upload a pdf file to the cloud?

Other online storage services allow PDF files to be uploaded; but not iCloud. Why not?

You can do it with Air Doc as I've already said, there's an app for the mobile device and an application in the MAS for the MAC.
As I posted to you already, as far as I can see Air Doc only lets you upload to the iCloud from iOS, not OS X. I'd would welcome instructions about how to make it upload from OS X if you know how.

Why can't I access the PDF files stored in my iBooks without connecting it to internet ?

Hi,
I have nearly 2000 PDF file documents which I have synchronized to iBooks from my DELL laptop.
All the PDF files are individually named as to make it easy for myself to search.
I took it outside in my show where i tried to access it, what I am seeing here is there are no documents appearing on my iBooks. I then connected it to my Mobile phone Internet where I could now see all the 2000 PDF files.
My question here is , if all these files are on the hard drive of my iPad, why do I have to always connect it to the internet to access. This is very difficult as some places where I travel are having very low network coverage. Please help me to sort this issue. Many thanks, Amit

You posted in the notebook computer forum, rather than the eBook format forum you desired to post in. Here's where to post:

Why can't I email a pdf file from Acrobat XI Standard?

Whenever I try to email a pdf file from Acrobat XI Standard, nothing happens. Outlook 2007 is my default
email program. I have checked the preferences to be sure that Outlook is checked as default, and it is,
but when I click on the email icon or select email from the dropdown menu, nothing happens. This is
so frustrating. I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

Be sure that MAPI is properly active in your Outlook. I am not an Outlook user, but that is what is needed.

After up grading to Adobe Reader XI why can't I open any PDF files?

I am running windows vista and had been using Adobe Reader 8 - when I upgraded, can not open any PDF files. When I attempt to open a PDF file, I receive the following messages:
Update available
Please take a few seconds to update Adobe AIR and get the very latest features. Acrobat.com cannot continue until you update Adobe AIR.
after attemptng to down load the "update" I receive the following message.
Sorry, an error has occurred
This application requires an update to Adobe AIR but downloading that update was not successful.
I have uninttalled all of my Adobe freeware & reinstalled statring with "adobe AIR" then "adobe Reader" and then attempted to opne a PDF file only to see the same message

Agein after attemptng to down load the "update" I receive the following message.

Thank you Pat,
I have already been there done that. I first Un-installed all of my adobe freeware (reader, flash player, air. etc) then started reinstalling. First I reinstalled reader (latest version Reader X), same error messages. added AIR (latest version not listed - Last updated April 1st, 2012 -
maybe that should tell me something), same error messages. I un-installed these two and reinstalled AdobeFlash Player,Adobe Shockwave Player,&Adobe Media Player, verifying that each worked after each reinstall of the next program everything was OK until I put Reader back on (NOTE: I dug all the way back to version 8 & still had the problem). for some unknown reason I finally right clicked on a PDF file on my desk top & was greeted with a the drop menu & he option of "open with" for fun I clicked on the "open with" & found that I had two options the first was a white Icon with the Stylized A and labeled Acrobat.com the second was the normal red Icon we all know & live
when I reset the default to the normal red Icon everything began to work just as I have always had adobe reader work. Now I have no clue how or when I picked up the "Acrobat.com" program even worse it does not show up under programs on the control panel. When I have a few moments this evening, I will run a search for "Acrobat.com" & hopefully be able to remove it from my computer.
Bottom line I don't know how I got the program which seems to have caused the breakdown of adobe reader but by resetting the default program to open PDF files it is now working as it should
Thanks for the suggestion.
Sincerely,
Richard L. Cornick

Why can't I open any pdf files with any version of Adobe Reader after I upgraded?

Upgraded Adobe Reader not too long ago and after then it stopped opening pdf files. I had an old version of Adobe Acrobat and that opened the file no problem. I tried to downgrade Adobe Reader, but that didn't fix the problem.
Just tried to open Adobe Reader by itself without any files and it still crashed.
FYI – I’m using Windows 7 (Microsoft 2013)

It's not a good idea to have both Acrobat and Reader unless they're both of the same version number (like X or XI). Such a situation can cause all kinds of conflicts and crashes, as you've seen. Also, if you have an old version of Acrobat it's might not be compatible with your OS any more.

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 no longer print pdf files?

So, I had Vista and updated last night to Windows 7 Professional. I did this because I have been unable to print pdf files for the past 8 to 9 months and got tired of forwarding to another computer to print. Prior to that, no issues printing from any program including reader. In the meantime, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Reader at least 4 times. Checked all my settings (won't even print as image only) and I still get blank pages. When I choose print my computer performs the funtion, but the Adobe "progress" bar doesn't count up from 1 to 100 numerically. It starts at 1 and then jumps to 50 or 100. My printer initializes and then nothing but blank pages. I don't know what else to try so any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, plain old English would be helpful. I used to be good at this, but...now just ok.
Thanks in advance

I do not need advice!
I have given up.
I can C I'm having it easy compared to every one else in here.
My pdf fioles need 10-15 over and over prints and still it's no good.
Reading all this stuff is soo exhausting.
And now I spend hours looking and adjusting stuff to print a pdf file.
I'm not in Grade 8!
I just had to say this, Sorry.
