Acrobat 6.0 and Windows 7 - is there a PDF printer driver available?

Hi,
I have been using Acrobat 6.0 with Windows XP fine. However, I just got a new computer that has Windows 7.
I installed Acrobat 6.0 but cannot now convert any documents to PDF on this new computer. I get this error--
"The PDF maker cannot find the Adobe PDF printer driver and to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 6.0"
However, reinstalling Acrobat 6.0 does not help, nor does the repair feature.
Is There a patch for this product? Can I download a driver for the PDF printer so that it is compatible with Windows 7?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have Acrobat 6 as well and just upgraded to windows 7. Can't afford Acrobat Version 9 either. From what I understand, only Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL, ULTIMATE or ENTERPRISE editions can you run most Windows XP productivity programs in Windows XP Mode(separate download). At least that's what I read here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-modeI wonder if that will help you. I unfortunately only have STARTER edition.
*The following text is copied and pasted from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-mode
Windows 7 Feature has a Windows XP Mode
It's the best of both worlds: The new Windows XP Mode lets you run older Windows XP business software right on your Windows 7 desktop.
Designed primarily with small- and medium-sized businesses in mind, Windows XP Mode comes as a separate download and works only with Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise. Windows XPMode also requires virtualization software such as WindowsVirtual PC. Both are available free on the Microsoft website.
To download Windows XP Mode or learn about its system requirements, visit the Windows Virtual PCwebsite.
Windows XP Mode, available for the Professional and Ultimate editions of Windows 7, helps prevent older business programs from becoming obsolete.

  • Is there a PDF print driver for ipad

    I want to be able to print individual pages from an excel file so i can email them. So i am looking for a print driver or print program to make this happen
    Some of the apps i have a re polaris office, expert PDF, Adobe.

    First, do you have Apple's own “Numbers”? It's not only able to export / mail PDF files from inside the app (unfortunately, there's no “Send to” inside – this has always been a problem), but also do it textually – as opposed to just making a screenshot of the current screen and making a PDF of it by accessing the screenshot in the Camera Roll in a PNG->PDF-conversion capable PDF reader.
    If you still want to go the second way, I've tested most of the PDF / generic docs readers I have.
    The ones supporting image → PDF conversion are as follows:
    PDF Reader Pro (Yuyao; $6; http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pdf-reader-pro/id300298606?mt=8 ) (can convert single images only!)
    PDF Reader (Kdan Mobile Software; http://www.kdanmobile.com/en/pdf-reader/ ; http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pdf-reader-ipad-edition/id367816156?mt=8 ; $5) (several in one! Just follow the built-in help at “i” icon at the bottom left > select PDF Scanner)
    PDF Reader Pro (iTech; http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pdf-reader-pro-edition-for/id364502063?mt=8 ; $10) (multiple; tap the “Scan” icon at the bottom center, tap the film cartridge icon in the bottom left; tap all images you want to import; when you're finished, tap “Make PDF” (second icon on the bottom left)

  • Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and Windows 7 Problem

    How do I get Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and Windows 7 compatible so I can access my attachments to e-mails sent to me?

    I was successful in installing AA5 in Win7 Starter as a test. It works except that I changed the printer port to file (AcroTray or the Distiller Assistant of AA5 does not work in Win7). You can open the files that are created in Distiller to create PDFs. You may be able to use watched folders to automate the process to some degree.
    I suspect that your question is more of having problems reading PDF files in AA5. That is a different issue. It is not a Win7 compatibility issue, but one of needing a newer PDF viewer. I have AA5 on one XP machine that I use Reader X on for seeing the newer files. I do have to deal with some conflicts between AA5 and ARX, but I can deal with that (many folks lose there minds on that).
    There is one other option that might be a major problem. Many folks are getting Win7 on 64-bit machines. In that case, you will have to be sure AA5 runs in 32-bit compatibility.
    At least that should give you some ideas of what might work. If a 64-bit machine, you may definitely have a problem -- I never tested that combination.

    Hi, Upgraded to Acrobat Pro 9 and Windows 7, and I can't merge files anymore.  Acrobat Pro tries to save each file individually before it tries to combine the files.  I actually get an error message with PDF files that are in my list of files to merge.  Please help!

    Did you do the updates to Acrobat? Now at 9.5.5.

    My XP machine crashed, I reinstalled Premiere Pro 2.0 with Windows 7, and I got the following error: 'The Currently installed soundcard driver does not support Direct Sound Input. Recording audio is not possible.' The soundcard drivers are updated. Any ideas? Here's what I have: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Processor  3.40 GHz 8 GB, 64 bit. Thank you for looking.

    Thanks! Though I upgraded to solve the problem, this is good to know.

    VERY VERY VERY EASY (now, when I solved the problem, not before...!!!)
    Insert Micropone or any jack in Micropone Input or Aux Input, on your sound card or motherboard !
    AND NOW YOU CAN USE PREMIERE PRO 2.0

  • I'm trying to buy some music and iTunes says there is not enough memory available?

    I'm trying to buy some music and iTunes says there is not enough memory available?

    I found the answer for real.  I called apple and talked to some dude.  All you have to do is clear your payment information, save it and then re-enter it.  thats the  bug, thats it.
    go to the store drop down menu on the itunes toolbar... click view my account... click edit payment information... select 'none' for your credit card...click done...   then try and buy your music...  if you have a gift card or whatever.   if you are just using your credit card or debit card, re-enter your payment information.
    it worked for me i hope it works for you.

    What OS? Have you tried a repair and updates from the HELP menu? The updates may be the key.

  • Why does my Acrobat Pro 9 PDF print driver either lock up or become confused as to where it should store a file when printing a document from within the Firefox browser?

    I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 for creating .pdf files on a Windows XP SP3 platform. Firefox 6.0.2 is my browser of choice. This question only applies to the .pdf printing process. All other printer drivers work fine with this version of Firefox.
    In attempt to save paper, I choose to print most documents in an electronic .pdf format using the PDF print driver and save them to my USB drive. Before upgrading my Firefox version to 6.0.2 this process seemed to work fine but after upgrading the .pdf print process seems to be experiencing problems. This particular printing process will cause Firefox to lock up when the distiller tries to print the file to what I believe is a temporary folder under the Adobe folder. When it does this I am sometimes able to force it to complete the process but frequently it will only produce a log not a .pdf file. On other occasions the distiller will just lock up mid print without producing any kind of error message. In both cases I will frequently have to use Windows Task Manager to break out of the process which then shuts down the Firefox browser. I don't seem to have any problems when I use Internet Explorer to perform the same function. As far as I am aware I am running the most current drivers as Adobe automatically pushes down updates to me as they become available. Any ideas how I can overcome this issue or is it inherent to the new version of Firefox?

    The PDF file itself does not control the "print as image" preference, which should always be turned OFF unless there's a specific need to rasterize the entire page, and is turned off by default in all Acrobat and Adobe Reader installations.
    What's the filetype for the ultralight font and what export setting* are you using in ID? If you're exporting to earlier than PDF1.7, OpenType fonts will be converted and may experience some small changes in shape if their hint definitions aren't done right.
    *As a side note, bear in mind that InDesign does not use any part of Acrobat when exporting PDFs, so questions specific to that stage in the process should be posted to the InDesign forums.

  • What is the Acrobat 7 Adobe PDF printer driver name?

    I can no longer print to my "Adobe PDF" printer.
    I have Acrobat 7.1.0 (as part of Creative Suite 2) on my small travel laptop system running Windows XP Professional, SP3. 
    Recently, if I try to print to a PDF file from Firefox, I get:
          "an unexpected error has occurred" or "an unknown error has occurred while printing".
    I went to the Adobe PDF printer itself and if I try to choose the properties, I get "The Adobe PDF Converter' is not installed on this computer. Then it asks me if I want to install the driver now.  If I say yes, it wants the driver name, which I don't know and don't see obvious candidates.   If I say no, and I see the properties for the PDF printer, it says the driver is "Adobe PDF Converter", but I guess the underlying driver file is missing.
    I found a posting for how to manually reinstall the printer on Acrobat 10, but my directory structure is different and I don't have a file called pdf.inf, so I suspect the driver name is different in Acrobat 7. 
    I can still launch Acrobat 7 just fine, and have tried doing the repair from the help menu twice, and rebooted afterward.  No luck.
    I didn't delete the Adobe PDF printer before the repair.  I was afraid to.
    I could go back to the original CS2 disks, but then I'll lose all the updates I've downloaded and installed over the years.  I don't know if Adobe even has the updates for CS2 online anymore.
    I suspect if I knew the name of the PDF printer driver in Acrobat 7, I may be able to fix it. Even if the file got deleted, I likely have it on an old backup.
    Does anyone know the name of the ".inf" driver file for the Adobe PDF printer in Acrobat7 (CS2)?
    If not, is there something else I can run from the setup files that will reinstall the PDF converter?
    Thanks.
    Cindy

    I cannot confirm, but feel confident that Adobe has the updates available for CS2.
    Reinstall from the disks.
    I just looked through my XP system running CS2; I cannot see an easy way to reinstall the Adobe PDF Printer, but it is already installed there.

  • PDF print driver hang when pasting filename from Windows Clipboard

    This is consistently reproduceable on my Win 7 64-bit machine, running Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 (Creative Suite 4) and Firefox 3.6.2. There are no version properties available for the Adobe PDF Converter  print driver, when I inspect it via Control Panel.
    - copy something (i.e., a filename) to the Clipboard
    - in Firefox, choose File > Print > choose the Adobe PDF print driver
    - I am prompted for the Adobe PDF filename
    - when the Save As dialog displays, click in the "Save PDF File As" filename field, and press Ctrl+V.
    Firefox and/or the Acrobat PDF print driver are now hung/crashed; you must kill them via Task Manager.
    If you restart Firefox and repeat the above steps, but typing in the filename instead of pasting it, everything works fine.

    Hi,
    First please make sure your Office is up-to-date.
    I suspect this may be related to some 3rd-party add-ins or the security software, first please run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if 3rd-party add-ins are related:
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If there’s no problem copying and pasting in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
    Please also disable the anti-virus program temporarily to check if this makes a difference.

  • Is there a faster hard drive available for the 1.83Ghz Dual Core MacMini?

    Is there a faster hard drive available for the 1.83Ghz Dual Core MacMini? Since this is the slowest component of the whole system is there a way to upgrade to something faster (possibly a 7200RPM drive)?
    thanks,
    Jeff

    Ways to make it faster:
    1) Be sure you aren't running any Rosetta apps or drivers. Watch out for print drivers. You can use Utilities > Activity Monitor to spot the legacy stuff that uses Rosetta. (Make sure the pop-down menu at the top of the Activity Monitor window says "All Processes", not just "My processes".)
    2) Max your RAM to 2 Gigs. You can't go to 3 Gigs since you only have the CoreDuo CPU.
    3) Whatever hard drive you use, keep at least one-third of it empty. Obviously this will be easier with a large external firewire drive.
    4) 3.5 inch drives will be faster than 2.5 inch drives -- even at the same RPM. So again, external will be the way to go, since Minis can only take 2.5 inch internals.
    If you want an external that stacks under the Mini, some examples are here:
    http://www.123macmini.com/accessories/guide/enclosures.html
    (The NewerTech and WiebeTech models appear to have good reputations, though I have no personal experience with them.)
    But again, all of the factors I mention above will affect performance.

  • 10.6.3, Acrobat 9.3.2 Pro update broke my PDF printer how to

    Hi,
    I updated my CS4 Acrobat Pro to 9.3.2 and now my Acrobat Printer errors in the Que when I FIle> Print and select my Adobe PDF Printer.
    I deleted the Acrobat Printer from my Print & Fax control panel.
    Now I can't figure how to Add my Acrobat printer back.
    Is 9.3.2 broken?
    I use this all the time, but now it's broke

    I just found this article
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
    The Adobe PDF Printer is not available or is unusable in Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6). This situation is due to security features in Snow Leopard that disable the Adobe PDF Printer. Adobe Acrobat 9.1 Pro removes the Adobe PDF Printer and adds a new Save As Adobe PDF command. Customers using earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat in Snow Leopard cannot use the Adobe PDF Printer.
    SOLUTION
    To add and use the Save As Adobe PDF command:
    If you are using Acrobat 9 Pro, update to Acrobat 9.1 Pro. The Updater removes the Adobe PDF Printer from the Printer list and adds the Save As Adobe PDF command to the PDF menu.
    In the PDF menu, choose Save As Adobe PDF, and follow the onscreen instructions.
    To remove the Adobe PDF Printer manually:
    If you upgrade from Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5) to Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6), the Adobe PDF Printer is not removed
    Choose Apple > System Preferences.
    Open the Print & Fax preference panel.
    Select the Printing tab to see the printers list.
    Select Adobe PDF 9.0.
    Click the minus (-) button.
    The Save As Adobe PDF command appears in the PDF menu.
