When you try to convert a Microsoft Office document to a PDF document by clicking on File – Create PDF – From File Adobe Acrobat returns an error, “Unable to locate the following Adobe PDF settings file or other resources: [filepath].” (Example: Unable to find “Adobe PDF” resource files. “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Adobe PDF 6.0\Settings\.joboptions” )
The proposed solution is to refresh the conversion settings for Microsoft Office documents. To do this:
- In Acrobat, choose Edit – Preferences
- Select Convert to PDF, select Microsoft Office, and then click Edit Settings
- Click OK to close the Adobe PDF Settings dialog box, and then click OK to close the Preferences dialog box
- Exit
- Restart Adobe Acrobat

It helped me a lot.
Thanks a lot. It is really useful.
It was the solution I was searching for.
Appreciate that help…But I tried that, and it did not help the situation…in this user situation I am dealing with, it seems to be looking for a (ASCII Square symbol).joboptions file. After I did this refresh as outlined above, it still did that! But thanks anyway…

Step 3 appears to be missing, probably the most important one too !
I updated the instructions. Let me know if you are still having trouble.
Tried your solution but still getting the same error message.
Solution worked perfect!!!!
This was the ticket. Thanks.
I got to step 2 but MS Office does not appear when I click Create PDF. ??
Thank you! The solution worked perfectly!
I have been sent 3 files, IMT Low.joboptions, IMT Mid.joboptions and IMT High.joboptions. I was told to put them into my joboptions folder in Acrobat Distiller. I am running version 7.0 on a mac. When I downloaded these files onto the desktop and double-clicked them, they seemed to store themselves automatically into the Distiller. I don’t know where the joboptions folder is… is it something you have to set up?
If you can help that would be great.
Thanks

I followed the indication but it did not help.
Thank You anyway
I was getting the same error when printing from filemaker 8.5. There was no entry for filemaker, so I followed the above instructions for office, restarted filemaker, and it worked.
I also followed the indication but it did not help
This suggestion didn’t work but simply using the “Convert to Adobe PDF” button on the toolbar did. After using the button I could go back to selecting Adobe PDF as the printer.
I have Adobe 9.0 and had this error. This was a big help for me. Thanks!!! It worked for version 9.0!!
I have 9.3.0, and I still have issues. I can’t convert PDF from file because I keep getting this damn error.
It’s not helping me either. I also used to be able to convert a Word document to PDF simply by right clicking on the unopened Word document and selecting “Convert to Adobe PDF.” For some reason, I no longer have that option either.
it is not helping at all.
Epic Fail…did not help.
