Acrobat 9.0 distiller

I can not open 9.0 Distiller on my G5 running OSX 10.4.11. It unexpectedly quits everytime. Adobe support is taking a very long time to figure out. Any suggestions?

When this happens on my computer (Distiller 8, OS 10.4.11), it's because of a Font.
Close the fonts you don't need and try opening it again... close font(s)... try opening Distiller, etc.

Adobe Acrobat 8's Distiller fails in Snow Leopard

I saw this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10084009 , which deals with Acrobat 8.0 but doesn't say whether anyone has found a way to get Acrobat's distiller to work on Snow Leopard. All of Adobe's help systems unhelpfully point to this: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html .
With that being said, does anyone know how to get Acrobat 8's distiller in working order in Snow Leopard? If not, has anyone heard whether Adobe's planning to issue a patch?

No explanations how Templeton's Distiller 8 can work in snow leopard since it clearly doesn't with all the old workflows. You can no longer select the Adobe printer and you can't even drop a Word document on Distiller anymore.
The only way I've been able to find is to select "Save as Postscript" from the PDF menu and then drop the postscript file onto Distiller. (a true pain)

Acrobat 8.0 Distiller problem - please help

I have Adobe 8.0 Profeessional installed on a vista machine.
I am trying to .pdf some lotus apporach reports into the distiller.
The distiller launches and acrobat launches fine.
When I choose the distiller printer and am asked for a file name and location... I choose a file name and the desktop location.
Then nothing happens. No .pdf of my document is displayed and no file is added anywhere on the hard drive yert alone on the desktop.
Anyone have a location where I can read step by step instrcutions on setting up the distiller printer corectly or help with these simptoms?
Thank you
Mark

You print to the Adobe PDF printer using the PDF Port. That is how AcroTray notes the file that is produced and starts Distiller. Printing to file with the Adobe PDF printer and then opening in Distiller is the base line of PDF creation that all other methods depend on. If this one does not work, then you have a problem. If you can print to file, then open the file in Distiller to get a PDF, then it is typically AcroTray that is the problem. Sometimes you have to kill AcroTray and then restart it.
It sounds like you may need to do a repair on the Acrobat installation. That is done from the control panel. In XP it is in the Add-Remove Programs. It was moved to another icon name in VISTA. It seems MS and Adobe both like to move things around and rename them!
You say you get an error when you check the print-to-file button, or at least that is what I think you said. Is that correct, or were you able to get a PDF with Distiller? Some folks have also found the need to do a repair after a Windows update. You might also want to look at the subversion you have. AA8 is up to either 8.1.7 or 8.2. You can check in the help file and then download any updates from Adobe.com>downloads>updates>Windows Acrobat. Be sure you install any updates in order, they are no cummulative unless it specifically says so.

Acrobat 7.0 Distiller error

I have the complete Adobe Creative Suite Premium package, and I recently have started having issues converting Documents or Spreadsheets to PDF. When I click on "Convert to Adobe PDF", after the PDF window opens, I get a Distiller error message, followed by a pop-up with the option to send an error message to Microsoft, or not to.
The Error Message reads:
Acrobat Distiller
Event Type: InPageError P1: c000009c P2: 00000003
When I clcik on the 'details' tab, it points to the following 2 files:
\\WER047e.dir00\acrodist.exe.mdmp
\\WER047e.dir00\appcompat.txt
I have completely removed Creative Suite and reinstalled it,to no avail. I have also tried to remove and reinstall only Acrobat 7.0, with no luck. I have installed Acrobat 7.0 on another PC to see if it would work, and it did.
I am at a loss as to whether this is an error in Acrobat, Distiller or on my PC, and I do not know what steps to take to repair it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Do you happen to be using VISTA?

Acrobat 8 Professional (Distiller/Printing to PDF)

I'm running Acrobat 8 Pro with latest patches installed (8.1.6, I believe) and ran into an issue using Snow Leopard. I can get Acrobat 8 to load and run fine, allowing me to save PDFs from within the application. However, the Adobe 8.0 printer driver (distiller) appears broken in 10.6. If I select the printer it will go through the options of where to save the file, and a print queue for the document, but then it won't create it in the end. I know many of you are probably thinking "why print to Adobe PDF when you can just use the built-in PDF button to save as PDF instead." I guess I just like my apps to work. Removing/resetting the adobe driver through the 'add printer' option didn't seem to help. Anyone else try this yet?

This is a major Pain in the A>>. I work in a virtual office and share a pretty high volume of PDF documents as software requirements, diagrams, etc. I almost never print to actual paper, the PDF driver was my default printer. I would hit Cmd-P, Return, print a file name, Return and presto a PDF. Now I have to mouse around and find the "save to PDF" option from some ridiculous nearly hidden list of options in a drop down button. There's no keystroke or shortcut that I can find that allows me to do this w/out mousing around.
Sounds like Apple and Adobe ran out of time and the usability got left on the cutting room floor.
BTW, I'm on Acrobat 8 still, so I don't even have the option to "Print to Adobe PDF" - AND if I print to landscape mode, the view isn't rotated, the document is "sitting on its side" in portrait -- very frustrating...

Problems with Acrobat 8 and distiller 8 when printing PDF.

Hello,
I got this problem:
I have Acrobat 8 Pro and Distiller 8.
Everytime i want to use Distiller 8 to generate PDF's containing MathType characters, it makes postscripts incomplete.!!..
We have tried updating Acrobat 8 with no results, then we tried installing the previous version (7.0) and we solve the problem.
Obviously this may not be the best solution to my problem, if anyone know what can be wrong, or what can i do.. i'll be really glad to read it.
Thanx in advance.

Acrobat 8 is not certified for Win7, particularly the x64 version. If you got the installation to go, the first step is to update AA8 to at least AA8.2. The x64 with XP required at least AA8.2 and I suspect that has not changed. I would suggest updating to the latest, either from the help menu (until no more updates are available) or by downloading the updates from the adobe.com>downloads page. For the latter, download ALL updates after your current version and install them in ORDER. They are not cummulative in most cases. You only need to reboot after the final update. The updates may get you going. If not, you may simply have to upgrade to AA9 or search for what others have been able to do in your situation.

Can not create hi res pdf in Acrobat Pro v9 - distiller

I am having problems creating a high res PDF in Acrobat Pro 9.0, it looks like distiller will not remember or accept that I am selecting hi res definitions before I print from Quark v6.0.

You're better off asking in the SDK forum:

Is Acrobat X printer (distiller) compatible with Lion?

What does anyone know about Acrobat X, X pro being compatible with Lion - most importantly the distiller. Reason I ask is I'm having issues sending PDfs to certain PC users when I'm using the built in PDf printer in the print dialog. I'm thinking if I use the real Acrobat distiller I may not have this issue, but I don't know if it works with Lion. Adobe's website is less than helpful and doesn't give straight answers.
Thanks for the help

I was under the understanding that Universal meant it was written in such a way that it would run Intel but bring Rosetta in if needed on a PowerPC. In any case, the research I've done in considering Lion said to get rid of all the PowerPC software as it would not work. It said nothing about Universal software. So now Lion is begining to look even scarier.
I am confused though, that a bunch (25%) of Universal software on my father's laptop (I used him for a guinea pig) is working on Lion.

Acrobat 5.05 Distiller not Producing .pdf Files

When I first purchased Acrobat 5.05 and installed it, to produce a .pdf file from an application, I printed the file from the application choosing Acrobat Distiller as the printer. This prompted for a file name and location. When the OK button was clicked, Acrobat 5.05 launched, and the .pdf file appeared, and was able to be saved. No other steps were needed.
Now when I attempt to do this, the application indicates that it is printing, but Acrobat 5.05 does not launch, and no .pdf file is produced in any folder.
Re installing Acrobat 5.05 does not correct the problem.
What needs to be done, to make this version of acrobat distiller operate as it originally operated?

Normally it is only needed if you are requesting a PS file that may be sent to someone else and they do not have the fonts OR if you are printing another PDF that had embedded fonts that you do not have one your system. Otherwise, Acrobat will go to find the fonts on your system as per the distiller font list.
The print to file is the most fundamental PDF creation process in AA 5. All of the other options build on it. The repeating the process, but unchecking the print-to-file button. In that case a PS file will be created by the print driver (directed to the Adobe PDF port or such -- I would have to go to my other machine to check the name for sure, but should be obvious unless it is missing) and then AcroTray is supposed to recognize that the file exists and then run distiller in the background. PDF Maker is just a front end processor for the Acrobat Distiller printer. Note that the name has since been changed since folks got the print driver confused with the program Distiller. They did the same change in name to Reader since folks keep thinking they had Acrobat when they only had the Reader. (At least that is my take on their reasons that I have not really seen.)
AcroTray is found in the Distiller folder. It should be in the startup folder of Win XP, listed as Acrobat Assistant. If you look at the running processes with ctrl-alt-del, it should be listed (just click on the program columns to get an alphabetic list). If it is not running, then start it. If it is running and you are having problems, then try ending it and then restarting it from the Distiller folder (just double click on the program).
Also, be aware that unless you change a preference in Distiller, the settings you pick in the Acrobat Distiller printer properties will over ride those of Distiller for the most part. And any changes you make in the printer properties from within a program will over ride the default printer properties, but will not be carried over to the next use of the program -- the defaults will again be loaded. So if you want a particular default setting, use the Start>Printers>Acrobat Distiller (right click for properties) to set the default properties. I never use the standard job settings for instance, but always use something like the press or print settings that embed all fonts. I reality I use a job settings created by a publisher.
So all I am trying to step you through are the basic trouble shooting steps that are necessary to get your system working. Finding where the problem is becomes the first step. We now know that you can print-to-file and produce a PDF with Distiller. Actually, I loaded AA5 on a Win7 Starter system and was able to create PDFs using this process. The AcroTray from AA5 does not work in Win7. Actually, for Win7, I just tried it by changing the port to File and so I don't even have to check the print-to-file button. That was really more of a test to see what broke, and I was surprised that it even installed on the 32-bit netbook. My guess is it may not work at all on a 64-bit system. However, on XP, your AA5 should work fine once we trace down the culprit.

Acrobat 8 Professional distiller

I recently upgraded from 5 to 8 Professional. My documents originate in Quark 6.5, full color catalog pages in 8 page spreads, original quark file 28.1 MB. In version 5 I would do file - print - acrobat distiller and choose the high quality settings. Distilling those pages took no more than 5-8 minutes. In version 8, it can take upwards of an hour and many times it hangs up with a post script error of some sort.
Any suggestions?

this is the error message that would come up.

Problem printing to Acrobat 5.0 Distiller from CS3

I am unable to print to Distiller all of the sudden from my Illustrator CS3. When I hit print is says that it is unable to print to disitiller and there is an error and to click to troubleshoot. I did that and it was not helpful. I also tried to print to distiller from Word and same issue.
I can open all of the Adobe products so not sure why it won't print to them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please repost in the Acrobat forum. Please give OS information and the exact version number of Acrobat 5. In the meantime you can try to delete the printer instance, then repair the installation of Acrobat by using the menu item under the Help menu.
