Adobe PDF Converter problem

My Adobe PDF Converter says it is out of paper, but I want to print to a file. What's wrong?

Hello Big John
I understand that it is difficult to determine which forum to post in since there are so many. This particular forum (sharing and storage) was created to help those transitioning from Photoshop.com to Adobe Revel. I am moving your post to the correct forum so that it can get proper attention.
I'll put I this posting in theAcrobat community so the experts there can help you.

  • Adobe Pdf Converter Print Driver Will not install

    Acrobat V9.0
    Vista Utimate Service Pack 1
    I have not been able to print to the PDF Printer. I get the following error when I select the PDF printer.
    "The 'Adobe PDF Converter' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
    When I say yes and select version 8.5.0.0 printer since it is the latest version. I get a Add Printer Driver Wizard window that says. "Unable to install adobe pdf converter, Type 3 - User Mode, x86 driver. Access is denied.
    I went through all the recommended steps on the web site listed below with no success.
    Thanks in advance for you help.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Solution 1: Use a supported installation.
    The following are unsupported installations, and the supported solutions:
    If you install Acrobat (Professional or Standard) on a 64-bit operating system, then you may
    see this error. Please update Acrobat to version 8.1 or later. You can update from within
    Acrobat via the help pull-down menu, or download the updater from the following location:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.
    If you install Acrobat to a shared network disk instead of a local hard disk, then the Adobe PDF
    printer is not installed. Install Acrobat on a local hard disk.

    If you install Acrobat to a directory with a path that contains extended ASCII or double-byte
    characters, then English installations will display the error message. Install to a path that does
    not contain extended ASCII or double-byte characters.
    Solution 2: Ensure that the Print Spooler process is running and set to
    Automatic, and then repair Acrobat.
    1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel.
    2. Double-click Administrative Tools and then double-click Services.
    3. Locate the service Print Spooler.
    4. If the Startup Type is not Automatic, then set it to Automatic:
    a. Right-click the Print Spooler.
    b. Choose Properties.
    c. Choose the General tab.
    d. Choose Automatic in the Startup Type menu.
    e. Click OK.
    5. If the Print Spooler service is not running, then start it.
    a. Right-click the Print Spooler line.
    b. Select Start from the menu.
    6. Start Acrobat, and choose Help > Detect And Repair.
    Solution 3: Ensure that the Print Spooler process has no additional
    dependencies.
    Only the Remote Procedure Call dependency is required for Print Spooler to operate.
    Additional Services can attach to the process but will interfere with restarting the service.
    If the Print Spooler process has additional dependencies, then please refer to the steps
    below.
    To remove all services listed under "This service depends on the following system
    components":
    1. Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel.
    2. Double-click Administrative Tools and then double-click Services.
    3. Right-click Print Spooler and choose Properties.
    4. Click the Dependencies tab.
    5. Record services under "This service depends on the following system components" and click
    OK.
    Imporatnt: Remote Procedure Call is a system service and should not be removed.
    6. Temporarily remove associated programs for the listed services.
    7. Contact the service vendor for removal information if removal of associated software does
    not remove the service.
    8. Start Acrobat, and choose Help > Detect And Repair.
    To disable all services listed under "The following system components depend on this
    service":
    1. Choose Start > Set

    I am having similar problems. After years of successful use, about a year ago, my printer (Epson stylus Photo R300) stopped working. After much investigation, it appears my computer no longer recognizes my printer. I've followed resets, safe boots, uninstalls, reinstalls, etc. This happened so long ago, I don't recall what I was doing when it happened. I'm figuring it happened shortly after a Software Update... So far none of the fixes recommended to me have solved the problem. I've been using Epson customer support, but they've stopped responding. None of their suggestions have seemed to work either.

  • Adobe PDF converter shows as permanently offline

    I have Adobe Acrobat X installed as part of the CS5.5 Design Premium Suite.
    Last month, I began having difficulty in printing to the Adobe PDF converter - this had always worked fine before. PDFs stopped appearing and are queued up in the print queue - the printer dialogue is heade "Adobe PDF Converter - Use Printer Offline" and I can see my documents stacked up there. Looking at the dilaogue box I see that "Use Printer offline" is ticked in the "Printer" drop down menu - I have tried un-ticking this but it has no effect- the tick remains resolutely there. I have tried pausing & restarting docs, to no effect.
    I can work round this in Word and Excel by using the "Create PDF" tab. But Firefox disabled the Adobe PDF plug in with its latest upgrade (thank you, Mozilla!) and Chrome just produces a print preview, from which I select Adobe PDF converter as my printer. And Visio tells me the PDF printer is not on my system!
    Problem is I do all my banking online and used happily to save records of payments & receipts as PDFs, but now I can't.
    This is really frustrating and I hope somebody has an answer! (hopefully without losing the queued documents, but I guess that's unlikley)
    System spec
    I am running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit on a Core2 Quad Q6600 2.40Ghz plus 4GB RAM. I use Office Professional 2010 (although I do ask myself a lot these days why I upgraded)

    Try deleting the adobe printer PDF instance, then go to Acrobat and try to fix the installation.

  • Adobe PDF Converter fails to create PDF

    Hi,
    This is my first post here. I've searched the forums but have failed to find any posts describing my specific problem.
    I am trying to print to PDF using the "Adobe PDF Converter" device, but whenever I try to do so I am presented with a window labeled "Creating Adobe PDF" with a pull-down menu labeled "Document Name" that is entirely empty and a Hide button. Also the window states:
    PDF Name: Untitled.pdf
    PDF Folder: C:\Users\Name\Desktop
    If I click the pull-down menu it rolls down with about five empty lines. Now, regardless whether I press the hide button or not, there is no PDF output created in the PDF folder.
    This happens regardless of which application I am printing from, e.g. Notepad, Chrome, etc.
    This is how I get to the "Creating Adobe PDF" dialog: Ctrl-p -> Choose "Adobe PDF Converter" in the print dialog, then click print -> then choose an output filename in the "Save PDF file as" dialog -> "Creating Adobe PDF" dialog appears.
    I have Adobe Design Premium CS3 installed on a Windows 7 32-bit machine.
    I have tried reinstalling the "Adobe PDF Converter" printer device, but that didn't help.
    Any advice how to fix this would be much appreciated. Thanks
    Andreas

    It would appear you are using a different converter, not sure. The one that comes with Acrobat will appear in the printer list as the "Adobe PDF" printer. When you select to print to the Adobe PDF printer, you should get a Save As menu. Then it would proceed. However, I believe that CS3 comes with AA8 and that is likely the problem. To be successful at all, you will need to be sure to update Acrobat to the most current version of AA8 and then it may work. Adobe does not support AA8 on a Win 7 platform and only would recommend an upgrade.
    That is some thoughts.

  • Adobe PDF converter printer driver not installed: No longer working.

    I recently uninstalled and reinstalled my Epson printer and now my PDF converter isn't working. 
    I'm using Win XP and Adobe CS3 Design Standard. I tried several of the suggestions here on the forums on reinstalling PDF converter driver and or switching ports, but to no avail.

    Problem Solved !!!
    Printer Name: Adobe PDF
    Port: Adobe PDF Local Port
    Advanced: Driver: Adobe PDF Converter
       Spool Print  and Start printing Immediately (Uncheck Send to Printer)
    Once I got the above in place I was then finally able to install as noted below:
    Try adding it manually: These instructions are for Windows 7 but I don't
    think Vista's install varied much, if at all.
    1) Open the Devices and Printers dialog box and select Add a Printer
    2) Add a* Local Printer* at the next dialog box asking what type of printer
    you want to install.
    3. Select* Create  A New Port* at the Choose Printer Port and select* Local
    Port at* the type of port dropdown menu.
    4. Click Next, then at the prompt name the Port "Adobe PDF" or whatever you
    prefer.
    5. Click OK and at the Install Printer Driver dialogue box, click Have
    Disk and browse to *C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat
    10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF* folder and highlight the AdobePDF.inf file.
    Click Open, then OK.
    6.  When presented with a list of Adobe PDF Converter options, select the
    first item from the list and click Next.
    7. Make sure the radio button is selected for Use the driver that is
    currently installed (Recommended) Click Next.
    8. The printer name dialogue box should default to Adobe PDF Converter, if
    not change it to that exact name.
    9. Then click Next through remaining screens to install.
    At this point, the printer should be installed.  Hopefully this helps.

  • Adobe PDF Converter Advanced Options not sticking

    I am having trouble getting decent quality pdfs printed from autocad - specifically of materials that are themselves pdf's placed into autocad. The information is typical pdf vectors - I can snap to the linework inside the documents, but when I actually plot them I am getting fuzzy rasters.
    I am trying to fiddle with the setting in the plotter properties and nested a few menus in are some settings called Adobe PDF Converter Advanced Options - there I can change DPI, ICM intent and Posctrcipt options...the problem is the settings don't stick. I change something, and then go back in to the menus and they are exactly as I first found them.
    there are two problems here - one, printing pdfs of pdfs not producing very good quality, and two, having trouble getting settings to stay set...

    I pretty much agree. However, print quality can be a big one. I use 300 dpi and many folks recommend 600 dpi. The 1200 dpi is way beyond what is normally needed. One place where the 1200 is a major problem is in preparation of slides in PDF. If you have line drawing with color lines of 1 pixel, they will be 1200 dpi. Imagine the problems when displaying on a 96 dpi monitor, a factor of more than 12 fewer pixels. A 1 pixel yellow line is almost unreadable because of the way that the line is sampled for display. If 300 dpi is used for print quality, then there is no problem. I found this one out the hard way.
    Most of the other settings you would leave alone, or change someplace else.
    In your sample DOC file from another post, your A4 came out as letter for me. The paper set in the DOC file is A4. My default in Acrobat is letter. Thus, WORD does NOT override the printer setting. You have to set the paper in the printer separately, similar to putting the proper paper in the printer.
    I am still struggling with all the differences you are trying to point out on your other post. There are differences, but I am not totally sure of the reason. You might want to look at a page audit under the PDF optimize to see were teh resources are being used.

  • Shared 64-bit Adobe PDF Converter, "Invalid Handle" error. (Print request from 32-bit computer)

    I have at my disposal a Windows 7, 64-bit, Laptop and a Windows Server 2008, 32-bit.
    My Adobe CC suite is installed on the laptop, but the server needs to stay as bare-bones as possible.
    There are embedded help files in some of the software (on the server) that I wanted to convert to a PDF rather than print out. As with many printers, I figured I could share the PDF driver installed by the Acrobat Pro software, and then simply send the spool over from the server. I initially ran into missing driver issues, so I googled a solution where there are additional drivers found in the Program Files (x86). However, there were several cryptically named "*.inf" files that all pointed to some 6 driver certificates that all had the same name. Talk about directions being useless, even if they were right. In any case, the first driver installation came with promising results but no final file. I figured I could just update the shared, 32-bit, driver, but go figure that the option to refresh the secondary driver was nowhere to be found. The shared dialogue recognized that I clearly installed one, but a manual update or removal option was not provided.
    I am at a point where I would like Adobe to just show me some love, and throw me the 32-bit Adobe PDF Converter installer that would have been embedded in earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat. If anybody could lead me in the right direction to solving my problem, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Acrobat is not licensed for use on the server. If you can print to postscript on the server, you can take the postscript files and distill them on your version of Distiller.

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

  • Adobe PDF Converter port

    Hi
    A client Windows 7 64bit computer can't print PDF files using the Adobe PDF Converter that was installed by the Adobe CS3 Design package.
    I checked and realized that the printer port "Desktop\*.pdf"  was missing
    I followed the recommended procedure to create the required printer port :
    =================
    Manually install the PDF Printer
    Click Start >  Control Panel > Devices and Printers
    Select Add a printer
    Select Add a local printer
    Check Use an existing port and select Documents\*.pdf (Adobe PDF) from the drop down.  Click Next
    Click the Have Disk… button
    Click the Browse… button
    Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF
    Select AdobePDF.inf from the list, then click the OK button
    You will see many Adobe PDF Converters in the list, however count six down from the top and click Next (you may need to try this numerous times to find the correct Converter from the list that works with your version of Windows)
    Name your printer, e.g. Adobe PDF
    Follow the rest of the prompts and your PDF printer should now be installed correctly
    =================
    Unfortunately I get errors when the setup tries to copy the Adobepdf.dll file over to System32
    I disabled UAC and tried again but the errors are still present
    any idea ?
    thanks
    yann

    CS3 is very old. What is that, Acrobat 8? If so, make sure you are at least updated to Acrobat 8.1.0
