Why does error message occur when "Save as Adobe PDF" is used?

"Save as an Adobe PDF" does not work; it only generates "Error An error occurred while saving the PDF file."
I can create a PDF two ways: (1) distilling a Postscript file and using Acrobat Distiller, and (2) using the MacOS PDF generator (MacOS X 10.10.2 Quartz PDF Context).
Is there a reason "Save as an Adobe PDF" does not work? Is this an issue related to Yosemite or Adobe Acrobat? I am curious to know if other Yosemite and Acrobat XI users have this issue?
Kind regards, –John
Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.10 on MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR3)

Thank you for replying. I appreciate your feedback, Mr. Lloyd. "Save as PDF" does generate a PDF using MacOS X 10.10.2 Quartz PDF Context. However, I am trying to solve an issue with PDF generating with Adobe Distiller since upgrading to Yosemite.
I am curious to know if anyone in the Apple community can verify if "Save as Adobe PDF" works for him or her. If this script specific to Acrobat Distiller XI version 11.0.10 does not function with Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, I can disregard this functionality. However, if the functionality does work for others, I shall work to find a solution.
My question was asked in part to help me gain understanding of changes in PDF production that have occurred since I upgraded to Yosemite. The following description is the root of my query which I posted on Acrobat Discussion groups:
Using Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.10 on MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR3), I have been creating PDF files of music charts optimized for viewing on iPad using Acrobat Distiller XI version 11.0.10. I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.2). Music charts are designed using Pages 5.5.2 using Page Setup for HP LaserJet 1012 and a custom page size (7.75 in. x 10.25) with four 0.06 inch margins. This allows me to replicate exact content of a PDF file optimized for printing [Page Setup for HP LaserJet 1012 with US Letter page size (8.5 in. x 11) having four 0.5 inch margins] on a PDF file optimized for viewing on an iPad. The iPad PDF has reduced white space in margins allowing the music chart to have the largest print viewable when looking at an iPad while performing.
I am creating a PDF by distilling a Postscript file and using Acrobat Distiller [PDF/A-1b:2005 (RGB)]. "Save as an Adobe PDF" does not work; it only generates "Error An error occurred while saving the PDF file." Moreover, "Save as an Adobe PDF" never works for any circumstance.
The issue is iPad PDFs no longer have 0.06 inch margins. A PDF file is created, but there is more white space in margins. I have determined the PDF production is being affected by the HP LaserJet 1012 0.167 inch minimal margins. The outcome does not change if I select Any Printer from Page Setup. However, a PDF with 0.06 inch margins is created if I use the MacOS PDF generator (MacOS X 10.10.2 Quartz PDF Context).
Is there any thing I can do to use Adobe Acrobat XI to make charts optimized iPad like I could before I upgraded to Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)? Just curious…

Why does error 200279 occur at high speeds only?

I am using a VI very much like the one attached here, and as my motor speeds up and the period value decreases, the vi fails, and error 200279 shows up as displayed in the attached 2 jpg images. This VI is reading the period value of an encoder by rising edges. The error does not show up at low speeds, only high speeds. Hardware is wired through USB ports on PC. Using Labview 2012 and Windows 7.
Do I need to specify the samples per channel for the READ in the case structure to eliminate this error? The error only occurs when the period gets quite short, e.g. 9ms or so. At higher period values (slower motor speeds) the error does not appear. I am using the counters built into the cDAQ9174 chassis and the NI 9401 module to read the period values of my encoder. What is happening at high speeds to cause this error? I thought that the setting on the DAQ Timing VI required that 16 periods are read every iteration, so, why is it saying that it is trying to read samples that are no longer available?
Also, is the "Append Array" building up a large array that is being carried in the SHIFT REGISTER and causing things to slow down? There are a huge number of periods occuring with an encoder at 120 ticks/revolution. should I try to keep this array truncated or something to reduce the size of the data being handled for each iteration? Can this large array be causing the 200279 error?
Thanks,
Dave

I think there's a combination of things that could be contributing. I don't have time for a full explanation right now, here's some quick mods I did to the code you posted. Essential changes are:
- made separate loop for collecting data into a big array. (Maybe you can consider dumping to file instead of growing an array in memory?)
- used a queue to transfer data between loops
- increased the buffer size dramatically while still calculating average of only the most recent periods
- reduced the acquisition loop rate -- expect to retrieve more data points per iteration
There are a couple other things I'd probably add or change with more time, but this minimal set of mods should help some.

An error message occured when I tried to test my rule in wanavigator

Hi, all.
I tried to deploy my rule as a web service with ws generation tool. After I deplyed my generated .ear file, I tried to test it in wsnavigator. When I found my ws and clicked on it, I got an error message which is below.
"Invalid Response Code: (404) Not Found. The request URL was:"http://iwdfvm1047.wdf.sap.corp:50000/setcallcharge/SetCallChargeService". Check, whether the URL is correct, and the Web Service that you are requesting is up and running."
I had no idea what`s wrong with my ws. Can anyone give me a hand?
Thx
Best Regards.
Louis Huang.

Hello Louis,
This problem may be occurring because you are using an earlier version of CE 7.11 Beta. I would suggest your using a newer version of CE which is now available on SDN - https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/downloads?rid=/library/uuid/00846edd-355b-2b10-f38c-df94ec96eb74
We have tested the web service you had sent me, with this version and it works as expected.
Please do let us know if you need any further clarifications.
Regards,
Arti

Error message occurs when preview crystal

I have one formula "Year+1" in my crystal report based on parameter "ZYEARMONTH". When I check this formula sytax, system show me no error founds. But, when I preview this crystal report, I get error message like "the string is non-numeric" with the following formula.
syntax: ToText((ToNumber(Right({?[ZYEARMONTH]}, 4) ) + 1),'0000')
Please give me a guide how to fix this issue. Thanks all of you in advance.
Sudree

This error means you're trying to convert a non-numeric value into a number. In your case, you're attempting to convert the right four characters of a string parameter into a number. If you're getting this error, then your right four characters aren't numeric and can't be converted. Please provide an example of how you enter the parameter value.

Error message occurs when I try to install Realtek HD Audio driver on Satellite M70

Microsoft Bus Driver should be loaded in your system before installing Realtek HD Audio Driver
This is the error message that I got when I tried to install the original Realtek drivers! Removed/installed the new WXP media center 2005, everything was fine but the modem and the sound, for the modem no problem but for the sound...(sight) I even downloaded new drivers on the internet and THEY WORKED!
But when I try next time to open my computer I get all the time a blue screen then it shuts down? What is wrong? I got everything original and I followed the step. What should I do?
By the way I got an Satellite M70 - 168 laptop.

Hi
Someone get this similar error message on his notebook OSs and according to the information the Microsoft patch should helps to sort it out.
Found this useful knowledge base article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;835221
This document advice to install the KB835221 patch but that is only officially available by talking to Microsoft technical support!
But dont worry buddy. The Google search engine is the key!
Try to search for this KB835221 patch and Im sure you will find the right one!
The required UAA drivers in the Microsoft documents are not included with XP SP2 or SP1, so it's a useful QFE to have around if you want to use newer sound cards like the Realtek HD Audio.
PS: If the Q835221 didn't help then you can also try the updated driver from Microsoft Q888111 article, which has 4 versions depending on your OS and installed service pack.
Good luck!

Why does Framemaker 9 crash when I create a pdf?

Hi Folks,
I get an error message and a file is created when I try to either create a PDF by 'saving as PDF' or printing. I attach the header of the log file that is created, it says to email this to an Adobe error email address. I don't know if these internal errors make any sense to you.
=== Header Begin ===
Internal Error: 9004, 6920492, 9676798, 0
FrameMaker 9.0.0 for Intel
Build: 9.0p237
Window System: MSWindows
Operating System: Windows NT 5.1 (major.minor.build: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3)

To file: C:\Documents and Settings\nglynn\Application Data\Adobe\FrameMaker\9\FrameLog_12.12.17_11.16.16.txt
=== Header End ===
However, I MUST generate PDFs ASAP. Is there some solution or patch I can download that fixes this issue? I have, obviously, restarted my PC. I have been using Framemaker for 10 years now and have not seen this error before.
Regards,
Niall.

Niall,
Unfortutanetly the error codes are only decipherable by Adobe's engineers.
Are you using the PDF Creator add-on that came with FM or do you have a full version of Acrobat (if so, which one)?
Have you tested PDF creation from any other applicaion to see if it's an Acrobat issue?
Have tested other FM books/files?
Have you done an Acrobat repair (Help > Repair ...)?
Have you had any updates installed recently?
There was a MS security patch (KB2753842) released last week that has hosed support for OTF CFF & Type 1 PS fonts in many apps (see: http://www.thomasphinney.com/2012/12/windows-security-patch/ ). It doesn't seem to have affected my versions of FM on Win7, bu I see that you're on XP, so I can't say if there may be any issues with this.

Adobe InDesign CS2 - Why does the resolution change when I import a PDF file to InDesgin

When I import a PDF file to InDesgin the resolution from the PDF changes.
Any ideas?

InDesign uses a low resolution thumbnail (might be the wrong way to descirbe, but easiest to visualise) to represent images/files placed into indesign. As InDesign is a page layout program it enhances the speed of the application as it doesn't have to draw the images in full detail, but rather just represent them in their size and position in the layout.
There are 3 viewing settings, available through the View> Display Performance (for the whole document) or Object>Display performance (on an object by object basis).
The resolution of the image from that point on relies on whether it was Vector or Raster, or in PDF and EPS cases, vector and raster. As already mentioned Vectors and PDFs don't contain a resolution. Vectors are mathematical equations that require the device outputting the image to draw them to the best of their abiltiy.
PDFs are a wrapper for a file, it can wrap text, vectors and raster for output.
But all the same, InDesign uses lo-res thumbnails to represent the PDF/Image/Object until ready to output. But you need to adjust the Display Performance.

Get "client-error-not-possible" when printing to Adobe pdf 8.0

Problem suddenly appeared in Adobe pdf 7.0 when I upgraded to the MacBook Pro from an older ibook. I thought that there was a compatibility problem with 10.5. However, now I have done a new install of Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 and the problem still exists.
The "printer" seems to add normally, but as soon as I print, the printer stops. If I resume it and the job in the queue, the error message appears.
There must be some setting that I'm missing.

Hello lisagig and welcome to Apple Discussions.
I would be inclined to run a repair disk permissions first and if that doesn't help then I would reset your printing system. Note that this will remove all of your current printer queues so if you have a number of network printers in the list it would be handy to make a note of their network queue, which you will see via the Print & Fax > Options & Supplies > General pane shown as URL.
To add the PDF printer queue back, you will need to make the Advanced icon appear in the Add Printer pane. To do this, open Print & Fax and click to Add a printer. Control Click on the current toolbar (next to More Printers will be fine) and select Customize Toolbar. Drag the Advanced icon to the toolbar. Now click the Advanced icon. After a few seconds this pane will become active so you can select the Adobe PDF 8.0 (pdf) in the Type column. Every other column will autofill so leave them as they are except for the Print Using menu, where you will have to open, click 'Select a driver to use' and then type Adobe in the search window. This should show the 'Adobe PDF 3016.102'. Select this and click Add to complete. Now try printing with this new Adobe printer to see if the error has stopped.

Mac OS 10.10.2 is installed and can open documents on my new Mac Air but an error message occurs when trying to attach a PDF to emails. Apple was not able to fix. Any thoughts?

The message says:
Please wait
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of your document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
Then it goes on to suggest an Reader upgrade, which I already did.

Why am i getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when i try to update my apps in the app store

Can someone please offer some suggestions why I am getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when I try to download or update my apps in the app store?
Thanks!
disregard! i noticed someone else's post about signing out of the app store and signing in again and it worked.....

Hi ...
Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
If that doesn't help, drag the App Store icon straight up off your Dock so it goes, "poof".
Now drag the App Store icon from your Applications folder to the Dock. Try updating your apps.

I keep getting the message "An unknown error has occurred" when trying to sign in to the App Store. Why?
