Expert: Michael Jahn Date: 6/13/2007 Subject: printing a pdf
Question I am running office 2000 on XP. I am trying to print a pdf file and I keep getting a corrupt file message. The original file opens fine, it is just when printing to adobe. I have tried another computer in the office, and I get the same message. My co-worker tried and it pdf'd, however when I put the watermark and then securities on the file it would not save. Our IT department has been looking into this and did some adobe updates on my computer yesterday. I am still having the problems today, I don't know if it is a word or adobe issue. I have had this happen before, and generally rebooting helped. It is not working this time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Answer Can you email this to me at michaelejahn@gmail.com ?
It is very hard to do this sort of troubleshooting over email. It could have nothing to do with the the PDF file, it could be something inside the PDF file, it could be your printer driver or your hard drive could be too full - any number of issues could come into play.
Did you make this PDF file ? When you say 'the original files opens fine.." - was application was use to make the original file, and what was the procedure to create the PDF ? Honestly, this is like me asking you "hey, today, my car makes this noise, can you tell me what is making this noise" via email !
