Acrobat X--View Adobe PDF results

Since the latest update to Acrobat X Pro, to 10.1, Acrobat doesn't show the PDF results when I print to PDF (from Word, from the Web, etc.). The PDF printer otherwise works fine; I just like to see the PDF pop up right after I create it to make sure it's what I want. I took a look at printing preferences for the Adobe PDF printer, and "View Adobe PDF results" is still checked (it was checked under the version before the update). I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, if that matters. I'd appreciate any help anyone can provide. Thanks in advance!

I also had this problem immediately after upgrade to 10.1, and I believe there is a bug involved.
Going to Printer Properties, Advanced tab, and unchecking "Enable advanced printing features" did display the file after creating it.
Checking "Enable advanced printing features" caused the file to not be displayed, even though the Printer Perferences setting to "View Adobe PDF results" remained checked under both conditions.
I think there is a bug involved because under the problem condition, when the PDF file would be created but not displayed, I could not rename the file. It would say that Adobe had the file open. I could only rename the file by Ending Process on acrodist.exe or restarting Windows (7 Pro 64-bit).
It seems that somehow the process was getting hung at a point prior to the display of the file.
Since the workaround is to disable advanced features that I would like to use, it's not an acceptable solution for me.
Is there a place to file a bug report and get a ticket?

  • View Adobe Pdf results Minimized

    I'm running Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 with QuarkXpress and Photoshop CS5.  With both programs when creating a Pdf by using the Adobe Pdf driver and the "View Adobe Pdf Results" checked, a pdf file is created, but not fully opened.   A flashing minimized box is placed on the taskbar which opens to a full page view when clicked.  In earlier versions of Acrobat it opened directly to full page view.  Additionally, when creating a pdf with a third party program (NovaPDF), it works properly and directly opens to full page view.  Perhaps, I haven't configured the preference file correctly.  Has anyone else run into this problem?  Appreciate all help & guidance.

    Yes, I'm printing to the Adobe PDF printer. FWIW, I used to be able to right-click in MSIE and use "convert to PDF" to create a PDF, but when my hard drive crashed and was replaced and the OS (and everything else) reinstalled, that wouldn't work anymore. Now I get a script error. I'm guessing that's an MSIE problem (possibly because when the OS was reinstalled, a newer version -- 9 -- of MSIE was installed), but at this point I can live with it.

  • "view adobe pdf results" stopped working

    Even though the box for adobe pdf printing preferences is checked.
    i always like to see when a new pdf is creared, but now it goes straight to the folder instead.
    using acrobat 9 pro extended, version 9.5, which i just updated again.
    any help much appreciated

    Wish I could tell you more. The setting is to show the pdf file once printed, and the box checked is entitled, "View adobe pdf results." I believe that is the default. After a recent automatic upgrade, it stopped doing so, and after a lot of playing around, including repairing and reinstalling the program, and turning the feature off then on again, nothing has worked. I can live with it, but it's just that I now have to go into the folder each time to make sure it printed correctly.
    I just tried it with this message and it worked after a bunch of strange errot messages.
    Overall, I have experienced intermittent "printer not responding" messages that force me to shut my browser, mostly firefox, and I think there is a bug in firefox that affects the interface with acrobat. I sometimes just copy and paste to word as a go around.
    Thanks.

  • Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents

    Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents
    I have a Windows 7 Home Premium Computer
    I have read all the suggestions and I have tried downloading multiple versions of Adobe Reader for Windows 7 and Vista from http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/.
    Prior to downloading each version I would delete the current version using  control panel programs uninstall.
    After each new installation I would shut down the computer and then restart the computer.
    I have tried downloading versions with and without having my antivirus (CA Total Defence) running.
    I am told after download that the version downloaded successfully.
    I have read Acrobat Help http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-reader-installation-windows.html and followed the instructions.
    None of the above has helped.
    The problem is no matter what version of Adobe Reader I download, I cannot seem to open a PDF and read it. Nor will the Reader itself stay open.
    1. If I try opening the reader from the desktop link or from the actual program menu, the reader opens for about 5 seconds and then closes of its own accord. If I try to click on any of the reader menus (eg File, Edit, View, Window, Help, Tools) then a warning bell is sounded and the menu does not open. Shortly thereafter the reader closes.
    2. If I try to open the reader by double clicking on a PDF document then the reader opens but the document is not shown (only the grey PDF reader screen is shown) and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
    The desktop shortcut shows as the 'red Adobe Reader icon'. But the actual program menu icon shows as a blank folder icon.  All PDF documents show as the PDF Adobe icon.
    I have tested various PDFs and none will open on this computer but they will open on other computers.
    I have created a word document and saved it as a PDF. It looked like it had save correctly (has the appropriate icon) but when I try to open it as per step 2 above then the document is not shown and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
    Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on and how I can fix this?
    Could you please answer in this forum and email me at [removed]
    I am so puzzled and frustrated.

    Thank you so much this did the trick.
    I spent so many hours on trying to sort this out and your answer was so  simple and clear.

    Might depend on the OS that you did not mention. Try doing the updates and see if that solves the problem. Otherwise, tell us more about your OS.

  • Acrobat SDK Vs Adobe PDF Library

    Hi,
    Can anybody help me in deciding which one will be cost benificail for my following task:
    1.  I need to do the color separations in PDF file and handling the transparency in

    Thanks in advance...

    Acrobat is a much more feature-rich application than the CreatePDF service. 
    CreatePDF is a web-based service that can be used for, as the name implies, creating PDF files from virtually any format.  You also get the ability to convert existing PDF files to Word, Excel, or Powerpoint files.
    The EULA for Acrobat states that you can install a single license of Acrobat on up to 2 computers.  The implication being that these are both your computers and that Acrobat is licensed to you, individually.
    The CreatePDF service can be accessed from virtually any computer that's hooked up to the internet.  Your subscription though is limited to your personal use.

  • Clarification Regarding Adobe PDF Settings

    Hi Folks,
    I have a doubt regarding printer settings. I have developed a application using VC++, My application creates a new printer and it copies the default "Adobe PDF settings" of Adobe printer.
    I want to change the adobe PDF Settings of my applications's printer say Eg: "View Adobe PDF Results".
    Initially "View Adobe PDF Results" is in checked status in "Adobe PDF Printer" when it copies to my application's printer i need "View Adobe PDF Results" to be in unchecked status.
    I have tried with Devmode2 in printer settings to make that particular field as "1" but it not working
    where to change the value exactly?
    How to change the UI with my own values?
    Regards,
    Nethaji.

    I've seen a Microsoft article somewhere which says that
    DevModes2 is for 16-bit app compatibility only
    DevModePerUser seems to do the trick.
    Using fairly low-level analysis, I found the "View PDF Results" was a byte at offset (decimal) 1136 (assuming beginning byte starts at 0).
    So under key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\DevModePerUser  value Adobe PDF has a REG_BINARY contains a byte at the above offset which has a value of
    00 = View PDF Results is OFF
    01 = View PDF Results is ON
    I guess the same key could be applied in HKEY_USERS\(dot)Default\...... and HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18 (LocalSystem account) for services which use Adobe PDF.
    Hope this helps.
    Best Regards

  • Adobe pdf online view issue- End user license agreement

    There is an issue with viewing adobe pdf online.

    I just found on other thread. I tried this and it helped solve view the contents. I  other words this resolved.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Tiling options unavailble for Adobe PDF driver in Acrobat X

    I am having an issue printing tiled pages using the Adobe PDF driver from Acrobat X.
    Every other driver I have installed has the options to Tile Large Pages and Tile All Pages from Acrobat documents. As soon as I switch to the Adobe PDF driver, the options disappear.
    We have tried removing and reinstalling the driver, as I read that this solved the issue for another user here. No luck.
    Any thoughts on what could be going on here? I have been using this functionality for several months, and as far as I know nothing has changed with either Acrobat or the Adobe PDF driver since I last used it.
    I'm running Acrobat X Pro 10.1.1 on a Windows 7 PC.
    Thanks for whatever insight you can provide.

    Yes, that's where I'm looking.
    The options are there for all drivers but Adobe PDF. And they were there for that driver the last time I used it.

  • How can i prevent modifing the  itemes in Adobe PDF Printer Setting?

    Hi,
    I have installed an Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.0 in windows xp.In print dialog,push the Property button,it will appear a dialog of Adobe PDF Setting,one of the setting itemes is "View the Adobe PDF Results",it can be set to view or not view the new created PDF file. I want hold the default setting and prevent modifing it,How can i do? can it be realized by javascript program?Thanks a lot!

    Hi,Test Screen Name
    Because HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\Ad obe PDF\ is the dir where to set the property of Adobe PDF printer when windows load it , this is experience, no documentation(or i don't find) , perhaps there will be other registry itemes which does not list in that dir ,but i don't know , that is why i think it just like what you have said ' It looks very like a "discovery" rather than a policy ' . For this reason , i want to realize it by adobe acrobat SDK programming ,but now  the second way is impossible. Thank you again !

  • Adobe PDF Conversion Settings

    I'm running Acrobat Pro v7.1.  Recently, I had a problem with Avast, which suddenly decided that Acrobat was a virus.  To their credit, there was a quick update from Avast from Avast to fix the problem, but not before I'd re-installed Acrobat.  I'm not certain that this is where my problem started but it's a good candidate for blame.
    Normally, when I create a PDF I am prompted for an Output Folder.  This is how I have it set under Printing Preferences as I am usually creating PDFs to send to clients and I need to keep them in clients' folders.  Since the occurence outlined above this option is now not offered when I create a new pdf, instead it defaults to creating a PDF in My Documents.  If I then repeat the print job, I am prompted for a directory.
    When I am creating PDFs for everyday business I have "View Adobe Output Results" ticked.  However, when I am preparing batch invoices I turn this off.  Now, again, this option is ignored and resets itself.  Very annoying when creating around 40 invoices.
    Another minor problem - and this is one I've had all along - is that when I create a PDF, if I close it down before roughly 5 seconds, it opens up again.
    I am using the Standard.joboption.  I created a new option (Standard1) with the options I required but this is still ignored.  I've changed the Read Only settings on the Settings folder and the files but this hasn't made any difference.

    To populate the 2 fields that are blank you would normally just select from the list. Check that out in the Start>Printers menu under the Adobe PDF printer settings. Also, open Distiller and see if any properties are set for the settings and such.
    Since you have a 64-bit system, be sure you have installed the updates to AA8, currently at 8.3.1. 64-bit systems require 8.1 at a minimum. Though Adobe does not support AA8 on many of the newer systems (not heard about Win8 yet), many users have been successful, at least on 32-bit systems. I have read 3 posts of folks successful on Win 7, 64-bit systems supposedly, but they do seem to have some issues as might be expected. If you are talking about Win8, I have heard nothing on folks running on that one with AA8. So your OS is an important part of the answer.

  • Printing a PDF document to Adobe PDF rotates 90degrees clockwise

  • Adobe PDF installed and set as default printer causes incorrect pagination in Excel

    I have come across an interesting bug. When Adobe PDF is installed and set as the default printer, Excel produces incorrect and inconsistent pagination--in my case one of the sheets is printed to two pages wide rather than three it should be (when Adobe PDF is not installed), resulting in 9 printed pages instead of 11. I have created a test case to reproduce it.
    The sample file is located here: goo.gl/ZBiWj
    The test case is here: goo.gl/6KbrO
    Instructions are given on how to reproduce the error. The same error occurs when printing the sample file to Adobe PDF as a printer. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    Actually, the problem isn't really Acrobat or the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance at all. The problem is that Microsoft Excel as well as other Microsoft Office applications adjust their printed output based on the characteristics of whatever is chosen as the current printer. This has been an issue since the earliest days of Windows.
    Each printer driver instance contains information about the specific printer including but not limited to page size, duplex capability, paper types, page orientation, output trays, imageable area (i.e., page size less unprintable margin areas), and device resolution. Based upon what Excel finds as values for a number of these characteristics, Excel will format the page differently. Excel is particularly sensitive to not only page size, but also imageable area and device resolution. Imageable area is important because Excel is attempting to avoid printing at all on parts of the page that your printer cannot possibly image; this is typically about one quarter inch around for most laser printers, a bit less for inkjet printers unless you have a printer that claims edge-to-edge print capability.
    The Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance has imageable areas that exactly match page size for all available page sizes. Thus, Excel formats on the basis that it can print all the way to edge of the page unless you set margins otherwise. It also defaults to 1200dpi. Change the device resolution to another setting via printer properties and you will likely see relayout. These same issues occur with Word and to some degree with PowerPoint.
    There is absolutely nothing that Adobe can do about this. The same problem is exhibited if you have access to multiple different printer models with different characteristics on your computer and you change from one to another, even if you don't have any Adobe software loaded on your system. Users have complained to Microsoft for years about this issue, but they typically have not considered this an important issue to tackle (ribbon user interfaces are obviously much more important).
    Sorry, but not anything we can really do to help you here other than to advise you to always compose your Microsoft documents with the current printer being the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance, create a PDF file, and then print that from Reader/Acrobat to your real target printer. Alternatively, if you are very careful to setup the print characteristics of a spreadsheet to have large enough margins and headers/footers outside what would be the target devices non-printing area, you might get a bit better device independence - but don't count on it.

  • Printing to Adobe PDF from AI CS6

    Hi.
    I gotta weird problem.
    Some time ago i bought Adobe Design Premium CS6 for MAC OSX.
    So, as You all probably know - I got Acrobat PRO with Adobe PDF driver.
    But this driver is not shown in the Print dialog box in Adobe Illustrator.
    I can print to "postscript file", but I can't choose PPD "Adobe PDF", so:
    - I can't change printed document's size
    - I can't change printerd document's orientation
    - I can't print file with trimboxes etc.
    I had the same problem with InDesign, but I've found a folder where I should copy Adobe PDF PPD - but I can't find it in AI folder.
    Does anybody know a way to fix it?
    I need that function back, quick :-)

    OK.
    I use Acrobat 10.1.8 - and for example in AI I don't have a button called "Save As Adobe PDF".
    Other question is if using that button (if I had one) it is possible to add trimboxes and manually choose document's size?
