Strange Acrobat Error: ":300 Can not find this file"
Subject:Strange Acrobat Error: ":300 Can not find this file" From:clearys -at- who -dot- int To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 9 Jan 2003 13:51:10 +0100
Hi Everyone,
I have been running Acrobat 5.0 on NT since June with no problems--until
last week. On Friday I tried to print a document from Word 97 to the
Distiller printer, but received the following cryptic error message:
:300
Can not [sic] find this file.
Please verify that the correct path and filename are given.
When I click OK, I am prompted to specify a location to save the PDF file,
but after that the file just hangs around in the print queue until another
amusing message pops up:
Error writing to [path] for [document name]: Waiting for a process to open
on the other end of the pipe.
Do you wish to retry or cancel the job?
Long story short: The pdf file is never created, and the only solution our
help desk folks can offer is reinstalling Acrobat.
Has anyone encountered this problem before?
Thanks,
Sean
