I'm not up on using these types of sites so I'm taking a chance that this is how I reply to my original question. I think you may have missed my last sentence ' I don't see how to do this since acrobat won't open a.max file.' ?The program says that the file may be corrupted but in the past, Nuance Paperport provided users with a Paperport Viewer that would open the file and then I would print it using Adobe Printer.Now I'm stuck with software that I will barely use and it still won't convert my Paperport.MAX files.Thanks for trying. Any new ideas?Kitty. Yes, I completely agree with all these answers.
However, for some reason I can't explain, I can't install the Paperport Viewer software.Here's the real scoop. I bought this Dell Studio 3 years ago and installed the Paperport Viewer that I believe is not available as a viewer only utility now. It used to be a free download and I still have the.exe file. It is apparently a 32-bit.exe. Everything worked and I have converted 100's of doc to pdf format over the years.Last month, my hard drive failed and I purchased a new; identical one and have been trying to get back to where I was before.For some reason that I can't figure, I can no longer install the Viewer.

It starts to install and then just fades away. I have tried every compatibility trick, realizing that I'm on a 64-bit system now but no go.That's why I talked to Adobe for a solution.

If I had known that this wouldn't work, I would have spent the money to buy Paperport 14 and used Actobat Standard 8 to finish my conversions. I'm just a housewife and not in business but I love the 'possibilities' when using acrobat files that I create.I no longer can afford to buy Paperport for several months and that's why I'm looking for answers here.I hope this helps as I do know how to convert docs but I can't find any software that will open.max files.Kitty.
