Adobe In Design PDF PRINT to PDF ERROR Try This Fix
I have had this problem in the past and there are a ton of suggestions on how to fix... but I think I found the ultimate.
First I ran into this when a user kept having the error message cannot find 'C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsSettingsAdobe PDFSettingsAdobe PDF Converter.joboptions'
I search through all of the blogs and none of the fixes worked... Then I really looked at the message and the path...
Please note when you get this error you get a dialogue that gives you an option to repair, that does not work? That?s when the light bulb went off.
Please review what I did
1. Follow the path that Adobe is looking for the file... If you are XP sp2 or 3 user the path will read different on your machine. it NEEDS to be changed yours will read like this 'C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersShared DocumentsAdobe PDFSettings'?. <change it>
2. 'C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsAdobe PDFSettings'
It is important to be sure the path is exactly what the error says in other words you may have Shared Documents... that needs to be changed to just 'Documents in the path....
3..Once you fix the path you will notice a file in the settings folder called Press Quality.joboptions.... there may be a few depending on how many time the user tried to do a repair. rename it to Adobe PDF Converter.joboptions..
Reboot you system
Good Luck
