Foxtab PDF Converter exists, it is malware?
Heard on an add-on Firefox called Foxtab PDF Converter, google, got four hits in saying it as malware and pervasive (as for uninstalling it.) It is supposed to convert any file that can be printed to PDF, which resembles a very handy add-on. Everyone uses it, or the scares are based in reality?
FoxTab PDF Converter is not an Add on Firefox. I can only find messages, blog and forum questions that indicate there may be malware but nothing definitive. If you need a tool to create PDF files, there is a certain established free apps out there like (in no particular order):
- doPDF - http://www.dopdf.com/
- CutePDF - http://www.cutepdf.com/
- PrimoPDF - http://www.primopdf.com/index.aspx
- PDF 995 - http://www.pdf995.com/
- PDFCreator - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

Hello
I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.
Method 1:
Try to scan your computer for the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Method 2: Try to start your system in safe mode and then try to uninstall the program.

Method 3: Solve the problems installing and uninstalling the programs on Windows computers.

FoxTab PDF Converter software malicious?
I downloaded this apparently useful free software, the other day, after having briefly checked as a product of Firefox. It displays a printer error message while loading, as well as the inability to access pages on its website. I Googled it and fell on the warnings it as malware and difficult to remove.
I ran my McAfee which gives my computer a certificate of good health.
What should I do?
You don't specify what antivirus program used to a profound analysis. To get a second opinion I suggest use Malwarebytes Antimalware (free edition) or ESET Online Scanner.

I hope this helps.

Hello
A 64-bit Windows 7 client computer cannot print PDF files using Adobe's PDF converter that was installed by the Adobe CS3 Design package.
I checked and realized that the port printer "Desktop\ * .pdf" missing
I followed the recommended procedure for creating the required printer port:
=================
Manually install the printer PDF
- Click Start > Control Panel > printers and devices
- Select Add a printer
- Select Add a local printer
- Check use an existing port and select Documents\ * .pdf (Adobe PDF) in the menu dropdown. Click on Next
- Click on the Have Disk... button
- Click on the go ... button
- Go to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF
- Select AdobePDF.inf in the list, then click on the OK button
- You will see many Adobe PDF converters in the list, but down six of the top, then click on next (you may need to try this a few times to find the converter in the list that works with your version of Windows)
- Name of your printer, for example Adobe PDF
- Follow the rest of the guests and your printer should now be properly installed
=================
Unfortunately I get an error when the Setup program tries to copy the file Adobepdf.dll to System32
I have disabled UAC and tried again but the errors are always present
any idea?
Thank you
Yann

Hello
I want to create an application of PDF Viewer so I m using the pdf converter API but I think that its not supporting on blackberry.
I tried several times to use it, but still was nothing.
Can any body suggest me that how can I show a PDF on my mobile blackberry (do you want to create this application).
Thanks in advance.

I have utilities to extract PDF files as well as position information (usually the desired information) text (I think
PDFtk would do that or pdftotext) and there are image extraction tools. If you can install a server-based system

Conflict of blackBerry Smartphones PDF converter
Someone had a problem with a synchronization failed due to a software conflict with a PDF converter that is installed on the same computer as the Blackberry Desktop Manager? I recently installed Adobe Acrobat 9 on the laptop that I use with BDM and now an error message whenever I try to sync the device (Nextel Blackberry 7520) with mobile (Outlook 2003). Nextel says that their phone/software is not compatible with PDF converter software (?). The most popular PDA is incompatible with the most popular PDF converter software?
I use Acrobat with BlackBerry desktop manager, but don't not to deal with this issue. Better, you uninstall DM and install again.

Download Adobe pdf converter printer
Hi people,
When you try to print a document in pdf format, the 'pdf converter' printer disappeared form the print options. Does anyone know how to restore or where to download them from? Is it a tool included in Windows 7 or in any other free Adobe product? The fact is that I was used to print office in pdf documents and suddenly he disappeared from my computer and I don't know how to get it back.Thanks in advance.
THE FINANCIAL MARKETS AUTHORITYHello
I see that you have not found the pdf print option while you try to print a document.
You are able to locate Adobe in Control Panel, in Add / Remove programs?
Method 1:
If so, try to uninstall and reinstall to check if it works very well.
Uninstall or change a program
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/uninstall-or-change-a-program
Method 2:
If not, try the same download from the Adobe Web site:
Here is the link:
http://www.Adobe.com/downloads/
If the problem persists, contact Adobe for assistance:

I hope that helps!

Download a 30 day free trial pdf converter
I thought that I must present a credit card to make the experience of the trial period of 30 days with pdf converter. When I read the information they say months $1.99 for an annual cost of $25.00. Now ask me a credit card in the amount of $14.99 per month to complete the transaction. What information is accurate?
Hi charrlesm57309716,
We offer a free trial of 30 days of Acrobat Pro, but not our ExportPDF online service.
If you are asked to pay $14.99, it seems you might be to sign up for a subscription Acrobat Pro.
If you have not already downloaded it the demo on your computer, you can get it from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Once your 30-day upward (since the first launch), you will be prompted to register if you wish to continue using Acrobat.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara
