Sorry for the slow response. Word 2007 is not supported.

Thanks Peter. I only have one version of Word installed, but your top about Acrobat ribbon is a good one, I'm sure. No, I don't see this in the ribbon, and, per these instructions:

I see that the PDF add-in is in the disabled list. I'll follow the instructions there to add it in. (My guess is that this will fix the problem.)

Thx.

Hi. I'm tire kicking RH11 / FM 12 with the trial copy.

On 3 or 4 separate documents, I can successfully print to .docx format, but I can't print to PDFs. When I try, the program quits with message just below. I've also attached the compbilation log, which ends with "Internal error encountered, Failed to generate Printed Documentation. "

I can print the resulting .docx doc to PDF from Word. But that's an extra step I'd rather not have to take.

Any tips on what might be causing this PDF crash would be appreciated. I see that other's have had similar problems in the past, but its not clear if their was conclusion on their issues.

Thanks in advance.

Kurt

HI Peter,

I am using RoboHelp 11 and I checked out another discussion similar to this one but this describes my issue exactly. Unfortunately, my Word (2007) does have the Acrobat ribbon bar but still does not create a PDF automatically out of RoboHelp for Printed Documentation Source Layout.

I am wondering if it isn't the older version of Word; or that we don't have a full version of Acrobat; or that we are on VirtualMachines (VMs) in our location? I'm thinking maybe it's the older version of Word or the Acrobat issue?

Oh and we are on Windows 8.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Susan

Do you have more than one version of Word installed?

Do both show the Acrobat ribbon?
