I connect my D500 via USB and open DNG converter. I open the file browser to choose the file folder on my camera (XQD card) and it shows 'No Images Have Been Selected'. I have to transfer the pictures to my desktop then run that through them through the converter.

And here is another hint for Lightroom-CLASSIC users: You could Set the destination location for the DNGs to an "AUTO IMPORT" folder so as they will be automatically Imported to the LrC Catalog (but in the Auto-Import 'Destination' folder set for Auto-Import.)

I have Acrobat Adobe DC and have been using the Adobe PDF Printer to print documents from Excel and Word in a PDF format. However, today my system updated Adobe and changed my Adobe PDF Printer to Adobe PDF Converter and now I can't print and safe my Excel docuements as PDFs anymore. (Haven't tried Word)

We are using Adobe DC Pro and have had terrible print issues. Is there someone we can talk to on the phone. Not sure how to share a screen shot, but using Windows 7 and my printers as one that says Adobe PDF and Adobe Converter PDF.

Yesterday I tried to print again from Excel to the Adobe PDF printer, NOT to a file - just to the printer. It opened a window for me to save it, which I did - to my desktop. But it's not ON my desktop.

Adobe PDF Converter is the name of the Adobe printer, which is renamed later as Adobe PDF Printer. You can remove all the listed Adobe PDF Printer and Adobe PDF converter, reboot the machine and add the PDF printer manually, to add the PDF printer manually, please refer to the steps mentioned in the Adobe article Adobe PDF printer is missing Manually install PDF printer

I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong? I made this rabbit design on Amaziograph, then moved it to procreate where I saved it as a png and a jpg. But when I converted it in express, it came out as only a set of lines? Here's what I wanted and then how it turned out. I'm making a stencil to use for a gift for my twin, can anyone help me?

the discussion so far has been to determine where your question should be posted. to that end, it's been moved from using the community (which is the proper location for questions about how to use the forums (eg, embed code, screenshots etc) to adobe express (which appears to be the appropriate forum for your question).

I have a similar issue! This is my first attempt. I was also going to make one, same thing, but bright red; that one came out as just a solid red rectangle. It's a simple design. All I'm doing is adding the png (with a hidden background) and hitting "convert," so I don't think it's something you can do wrong. I think it's an issue with the converter.

I have a new Canon EOS 5D Mark II and CS3, so I cannot view the CR2 files from the 5D in Bridge in their native format. I read all the posts and upgraded to ACR 4.6, then upgraded the camera profiles to those in the ACR 5.2 package (the one that includes the 5D Mark II).

Problem now is that the DNG Converter will not recognize any CR2 files on my machine, neither the new 5D Mark II CR2 files of my old Rebel CR2 files. When I navigate to a folder containing CR2 files with DNG it says "No images have been selected" in the "Select images to convert" section of the GUI.

When I select a folder containing CR2 files in step one of the DNG Converter the "Convert" button at the bottom of the DNG Converter GUI remains greyed-out. Even though I know the folder contains valid CR2 files the "Convert" button will not become active, regardless of which folder I choose.

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by "alternatively, you can drop the icon of the files onto the DNG Converter application icon in the dock"? I'd like to try this but not sure what you mean by "in the dock"...

So still stuck... Is there anyone from Adobe that can explain or hazard a guess as to why my DNG Converter will not convert any CR2 files? If it is a single executable file as advertised, I can't imagine why it wouldn't work... Help!

Hello, does your directory have any unusual characters (e.g., unusual punctuation)? Or are you possibly selecting a path on a network drive? I am wondering if these could be preventing DNG Converter from recognizing your selected directory/path properly.

If the text to the immediate right of the "Select Folder..." button continues to read "No images have been selected", then either there are no recognized images in the selected folder, or there is something wrong with the folder (or entire path) itself.

Thanks very much, that's very helpful... I can get images converting now but only if the CR2 files are located in C:\ and only if the location to save the files is also C:\. If I choose any other folder as the source or destination folder the 'convert' button stays greyed out. I even tried creating a folder C:\DNG\ (even Windows 3.1 wouldn't have had a problem with that !) and it still won't work. If I try to select C:\DNG\ (or any other folder on C:\) the 'No images have been selected' text remains and the convert button stays greyed out.

So the short of it is that I can now convert and view the DNG files in Bridge CS3. But I'd really like to figure out the DNG Converter quirks so I don't have to operate in C:\ and thus run the DNG Converter as administrator every time I use it.

I found this thread when I experienced "about" the same problem. If I click the , and browse to a folder that contains .CR2 files from my Canon EOS-60D, the DNG Converter 6.3 proudly declares, "No items match your search".

Then, I tried to drag a .CR2 file from Windows Exploder onto the DNG Converter shortcut-icon on my desktop, and it worked! I can also drag multiple selected files from within a directory, or a complete directory there, and it works. (I can NOT drag files onto the DNG Conv itself, just onto the shortcut icon)

I have Win7/32 and a funny thing is,that when I tested DNG Conv 6.3 on my old PC which runs Win XP/SP3, the function worked without a hitch. I could even browse the very same CR2 folders on my Win 7 PC, over Wi-Fi, and it worked OK on XP.

So, the problem with Adobe's DNG Converter 6.3 (and new Canon .CR2's) seems to be OS dependent. It looks like it doesn't work correctly on Vista or Win 7.
Check if the drag system works OK on Vista, as on Win 7.

Thanks, this actually worked for me too (I have Vista on my machine). Still frustrating that the converter doesn't work as designed, but now at least I don't have to work in C:\ all the time and run DNG Converter as an administrator.

I have been using DNG converter 5.4 for two years to convert Canon G10 raw files without any problem. I switched to version 6.4 to convert Panasonic G2 raw files and have had little sucess. It worked once on the folder I set up for my first panasonic shoot. I have had no sucess for subsequent shoots in other folders. When I open the converter it has that original folder selected and I can make further conversions on the raw files in that folder but it cannot find raw files in any other folder. Not for the thousands of G10 files which I have converted or even the files in my first G2 folder if I move away from it and come back to it.

There is no uninstall routine for the DNG converter. There are no extra files or registry entries. If you want to get rid of the DNG converter, simply delete it. It is not something strange with Vista.

Thanks I have deleted v 6.4 and gone back to v 5.4 which will convert the Canon G10 raw files, but not the Panasonic G2 files. V 5.4 is also not visible in contol panel so I must have deleted it rather than uninstalled it.

Thanks for that info, i couldnt get adobe dng converter to recognise any picture file in any folder anywhere on my computer but when i took your advise and dragged a CR2 file ont the desktop shrtcut to DNG converter it worked fine!!!!

Version 6.3 and 6.4 do not regonise raw files in folder that version 5.4 does and the convert button remains geyed out. I have removed version 6.4 and installed 5.4. it finds files for conversion where 6.4 does not, hovever it is unable to convert the Panasonic G2 file.

Exact same issue here. Downloaded and used the 6.2 version back in July without a hitch for converting 60D CR2 files. Now after installing the latest release, the CONVERT box is grayed out. Will reinstall the 6.2 version and see what happens. Looks like a bug.

Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, have removed all previous versions and despite getting in touch with their labourious online chat system their standard reply is 'update to the latest Mac OS'...something I can't do currently - and knowing they do exist would rather not shell out for a whole new machine just to overcome this very simple problem...(Feels very much like pulling LR6 support 'update your computer' seems a standard reply, which is utterly ridiculous).

thanks, yes I did find this via a quick google and there are a few there. although I can't find any mention of compatibility or changelogs that go with any versions listed anywhere (if they are listed!)

How do you connect to that? I'm trying to find the previous dng converter version and came upon this link, but that ftp is user/pass locked. Is there somewhere to get previous versions of dng converter? I'm not talking years old...like a few versions back. Thanks

I downloaded DNG Converter 9.1.0.441, clicked "Select Folder" then clicked the source folder containing ARW files. I wasn't sure about how to set compatibility prefs for the appropriate version of Camera Raw for my version of Lightroom 4.4, but began with Camera Raw 4.1, then to 4.6, though neither made a difference. An error message pops up, "The source folder does not contain an supported camera raw files". I believe my version of DNG Converter is up to date, the ARWs come from a new Sony AR7ii body, so what could it be? Thanks.

The most common cause of this problem is that people don't just choose the folder, they open the folder in the file browser from within the DNG converter. That won't work. You have to choose the FOLDER that contains the raw files, but don't open it. If you open the folder you will get the message that you are seeing.
