Unable to find Adobe PDF Resource File ("Adobe PDF Converter.joboption")
Hi, I'm not able to create PDF Files from Access Report (Access 2000).
I was using Acrobat 6.0 Standard and Adobe Reader 9.2. Then, I removed Adobe Reader 9.2 it did not fix the problem.
Also, I saw comments about copying standard joboption, make it as pdf converter. I tried that and it did not work. I copied standard joboption and saved under "adobe pdf converter. joboption". Unless I'm doing something wrong.
I was trying to create PDF File from Excel Spreadsheets and I did not much problems
Please be advised that I can't use external party software at work

<<Its missing the file named converter.joboption>>
I understand that myself.
Where can I get of that full path. Can you get me as much details as possible. What do you mean copy one of the saved preferences to the same folder and rename it to the missing file?
I copied and saved under new name in the folder. I believe it was "settings" and it did not work.

I did something similar as you told me. In setting I saw 4 joboptions file. One of them was standard by default. "Adobe PDF Converter".joboption file of course was missing.
When I clicked on Edit Settings what should I do then. What is the purpose to click on Edit Settings

When you click on edit settings it recreates that jobotpion.
I would suggest you try to copy and paste another joboption and rename it to:
Adobe PDF Converter.joboptions
and see if you get the error.
In the end when we got this we had to uninstall all version of acrobat(and reader) reboot, reinstall and apply updates.

When I copied and paste another standard joboption and renamed it to Adobe PDF Converter.joboption in 3 hours I got printing errors: instead of creating PDF Files I constantly got promt to save PDF File (full location, unusual, it was not before). So it was even worse than before
When it prompts you to save the pdf file location can you save the pdf?
If so are you still getting the error looking for the joboption?

I was getting error that's why only option was to remove created joboption. Let's wait until tomorrow. I'll try again at work
Usually when we create pdfs it'll ask us where we want to save, unless you have the option set to a specific folder. If the error is gone but it is asking where you want to save you can re-enter the default save location.

OK, it is working. I would like to tell you about steps so we can remove problems:
1. I went as you told me to Acrobat 6.0 -> Edit -> Preferences-> Convert to PDF
2. I selected Microsoft Office
3. By default I have Standard JobOption
4. I selected on Edit (as you told me). I went to Adobe PDF Settings.
5. I clicked to Save As and Saved as Adobe PDF Converter. Difference was only that I selected CheckBox for "Create Job Definition Format" (JDF File). As I understand I should not select I should just Save Standard Job Option as Adobe PDF Converter. Please tell me if I'm correct
6. After I created "Adobe PDF Converter" Job Option it was automatically picked up in Step 4.
7. I closed Settings
8. After I tried to create PDF File I have again following picture: Please see attached doc:
Question: Acrobat should ask only once to save created PDF File (see 1st picture). However, during creation of the PDF File I have new prompt to save File (see 2nd picture) which also put full path ... My Documents\file name. How can I disable 2nd prompt (2 picture). Usually only 1st prompt (1 picture) coming when I create PDF File, not the 2nd one. 2nd prompt (see 2nd picture) giving me headache

Also see log file which was created at the same time when PDF File was created. This log file should not come at all. I believe it is related to step 8

When you create your pdf how are you making it? Are you going to print then acrobat pdf printer? Or using the convert pdf icon?
What version of office are you using?

Access 2000, Excel 2007. As you understand I use Access 2000.
How I make it: regular way- run report - print and select Adobe PDF as Printer. I don't use Convert PDF Icon (I don't know where that Icon is located)

Looks like problem with creating PDF Files from Access 2000 only if I create PDF Files for particular reports- not for all reports

Question was not completely answered. I gave you points only to close the question
What is the full path of the missing file in the error? If you go down to that folder just copy one of the saved preferences to the same folder and rename it to the missing file. If you try and resave in adobe it wont keep.
After you rename the file update acrobat to the latest version. 6.0.6 I think from adobe.com
