Adobe PDF printer doesn't work correctly.

I have installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro. But when I try to convert a document to a PDF file using PDF printer a progress bar appears. But then nothing happens.

Hi Anubha,
This problem happens with every kind of file types (Eg. .doc, .txt, .jpg).
This printer worked very well earlier. I got this problem suddenly. Not sure what is the reason. Tried re-installing Adobe, but doesn't work.
I used 'File> Print> Printer> Adobe PDF' option to create pdf files. (Eg. In MS Word, Notepad, and etc.)
Thank you for your reply.
Udaya.

Since downloading Mtn.Lion my epson printer doesn't work correctly & the entire system seems to be slower plus my iMac now disconnects from my wifi every time the mac sleeps. Can anyone help me with these issues?

I am having problems with my Imac (approx 1 yr old) every since I downloaded (from the App.Store) Mountain Lion. I am a working mom with 3 toddlers.....I have very little time to work on the computer which I primarily use for photograhpy needs. I am not computer savvy enough to figure out how to "fix" the new issues/problems and am frustrated. I am hoping someone can help me........
Issues just since downloading Mountain Lion:
1) My Epson R2400 printer is not printing properly. It wouldnt print at all from CS5 the first 2 days. Then just started printing. The prints aren't nearly as good as they used to be. I just installed Photoshop Elements 10 and have been able to print but the prints are just awful. I printed a test page and it was perfect. I've triple checked the settings in the print dialogue box to ensure the correct paper is chosen, etc. I've never let the printer manage the color before but it is the only option that gives a mediocre print at best.
     I've gone to Epson.com.   It says to update driver through Apple for Mtn. Lion. According to my computer I have no updates. Printer is connected via USB. Changed the ports, turned printer on & off. Emailed epson & they said to reset the print queue, which I did. Restarted the IMac Still no luck. (The error message I got when trying to print from CS5 is "filter failed." But, as stated before it just started printing today as I was typing this.
      I print out pics quite a bit and it seems the only time I have ever had problems is when I upgraded the OSX system. Why is that?? When I upgraded to 10.7 is when I first realized my print quality went down.
2) Now every time I "wake" up my computer it has become offline and has to go through the steps to reconnect to my wifi. Never did that before Mtn.Lion. I purchased the Airport Extreme Dec 2011. My computer was always connected before the update. Now I have to scroll down & pick my network & wait for it to connect before proceeding.   I double checked preferences and it is set up to check for updates automatically. What is that about??
3) It just seems that my system overall is slower. I love my mac but I am frustrated because I don't have the free time needed to do all this problem solving. I just need it to work properly when I have a few minutes to work on a picture. I imagine there are other issues, but these are the only 2 areas I've focused on since the upgrade.
I've read different views/feedback on Mtn Lion but haven't come across the printer issue or the wifi connection issue.
Can anyone direct me towards a solution? I really appreciate it!

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

Thank you for your response. I unchecked "sticky footer" and now it works.
Now I have another problem maybe you can help me?
I want a fixed header and footer with the imprint in the footer and logo in the header.
If I add a text frame on my master page and check them as footer the footer is fixed. Doing the same for the header logo/text is not fixed? Do you know why?

Adobe flash player doesn't work correctly. firefox 4 and 5.

pictures doesn't look right

You'll have to contact voxnow.de and ask them to not black list that version of Flash Player. It's their website that is requiring you to upgrade (which as I'm sure your aware of isn't possible to do with your operating system version.)

Adobe PDF Printer not working as print driver; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

I have installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on a newly formatted SSD with Windows 7, 64 bit on my desktop machine. The program was installed from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 and updated within the program. I have the program also installed on my laptop, and the Adobe PDF Printer driver is working properly on my laptop.
On my desktop with the newly formatted SSD, the Adobe PDF printer driver is not working. Note that I am using the printer driver, and not any pdf creation techniques within MS Office or other programs.
When I go to the Adobe PDF printing preferences on my desktop, I only get a generic, two tab window open. When I print a file to this printer on my desktop machine, I do not get a window opening that asks where to create the pdf or what to name it, and I never see any files created. In MS Word, the Create PDF option under the Acrobat tab works and opens a dialog to ask the name and location to save, and then opens a PDF Maker progress window and properly creates the file. I can also save a file as an .eps or .ps file and use Distiller to create the pdf. However I cannot get the Adobe PDF printer driver in my Devices and Printers to work properly, although it works just fine on my laptop with the same program (Pro 9.5.5) and same Windows version (7, 64 bit).
Repairing, uninstalling and re-installing does not solve the problem. Acrotray.exe *32 process is running. Any ideas on why this won't run properly on my desktop, but will run on a similarly configured laptop?
On my laptop, I get a full, (7) tabl menu with all the normal options:

I found this answer from Deepak Chauhan on another forum, and it solved this problem!
Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
- from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
- go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
- go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
delee the PDF port monitor if present
3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
again delete and pdf printer subkey
If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
Once you've all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
Copy and pate the following commands in order
1: net stop spooler
2: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection AdobePDFPortMonitor 128 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf
3: net start spooler
4:rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Adobe PDF" /f "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf" /r "Documents\*.pdf" /m "Adobe PDF Converter"
That should set back the pdf printer.
This seemed to provide the link that provided the Adobe PDF Settings tab to the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences that was missing!

Adobe PDF Printer No Longer Available After Acrobat X Install

I've been using Acrobat 8 Pro for several years. To generate PDFs, I use the Adobe PDF printer (through FrameMaker). I recently installed Acrobat X Pro. Now there's no Adobe PDF printer. Save as PDF doesn't work (no PDF generated). I need to get the Adobe PDF printer back but cannot find any information about how to install it. All the Acrobat Distiller help has to say is that you should use the Adobe PDF printer. Not helpful at all.

Good day,
I'd like to see if I can help you.

Did the Adobe PDF Printer install with your trial?
What application did you author the file in that you'd like to convert to PDF?
Did you print your file from that application to the Adobe PDF Printer?
And to correct and continue to evaluate the "TRIAL" version I must delete the working version of software so that the "TRIAL" Version will be able to create a PDF!!!!(30 Min)
And if I don't like the "TRIAL" version I have to Reinstall the Original.
(30 Min)
Do you mean that you had a previous version of Acrobat (such as Adobe Acrobat 8 or 9) installed?
If so, this is not surprising as we do not support multiple versions of Acrobat installed on the same computer.

Acrobat 8 installation does not create a "Adobe PDF" printer device on Vista

On a new Windows Vista Premium system I installed a new (not upgrade) Adobe CS3 Design Suite. Everything installed properly (it did before on a Windows XP SP2 system) but the Adobe PDF Printer doesn't appear at all!
What???????????????????
There is an Adobe Acrobat for Windows knowledge base article covering it: Error "Warning 20225..." or no Adobe PDF printer appears (Acrobat 8.0 and Acrobat 3D 8.0 on Windows) (333221)
20225: Adobe Acrobat 8 Setup was unable to create a new item: Adobe PDF Converter. The Adobe PDF Printer may be unavailable. GetLastError: The specified module could not be found." When you click OK, the installer... (6/8/07)
The symptoms and possible workarounds didn't seem to apply and a couple of the suggestions (disabling certain services) didn't look right. But throughout the KB article it indicating doing a reinstall of Acrobat using the Help menu to do a Repair.
So, I selected the Repair command on the Help menu WITHOUT doing any of their recommendations and lo-n-behold, the Adobe PDF driver appeared! What am I missing??? It does work but I am suspicious.
thank you,

What does the Adobe test page say?
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

PDFs created by Adobe PDF print device do not display correctly in Illustrator

I generated a PDF from a PowerPoint file by printing to the Adobe PDF printer device. This step works correctly as the PDF appears normal in Acrobat. However, upon opening the PDF in Illustrator, none of the graphic (bitmap) elements are rendered correctly -- they appear as gray boxes with remnants of the correct image remaining as a single pixel border around the edge. This is clearly an error in the PDF importing in Illustrator. Any work-arounds or suggestions?
Message was edited by: mcgrawcm
Update: OK, so it has something to do with whether an image in PPT was "cropped" before conversion to PDF, as an uncropped version of the same graphic is rendered accurately in Illustrator after conversion to and from PDF. For my part, I'm just going to recopy the images directly into Illustrator, but perhaps this might help someone else dealing with the same problem.

I understand this is no help, but Illustrator is not a pdf editor. This is why you can get unexpected results when importing a pdf in Illustrator.
If you really need to edit a pdf you could use Acrobat or Neo, and there are some more out there, just look around on the net:

Adobe PDF Printer not working in Illustrator since 9.3.2 update.

Greetings all,
Since updating Acrobat Pro to 9.3.2 I've not been able to print to PDF from Illustrator using the Adobe PDF Printer (Adobe PDF 9.0 in my printer list).
I've tried several restarts and have also removed the printer and run the Repair Acrobat Installation from the Help menu of Acrobat to reinstall the printer, but problem remains.
I've also tried printing from other programs (namely Thunderbird, Firefox and Photoshop) and the printer has worked fine so I suspect this my be isolated to Illustrator.
No error messages are given and the Illustrator print jobs are listed as Completed in the printer job list but no files are created.
I've got a work-around, printing to Postscript file then converting to PDF in Distiller and it seems to be working fine, but not my ideal solution.
I've checked for updates in Illustrator but none are available.
System details:
OS X 10.5.8 (MacBook Pro 15", around 2.5yrs old)
Adobe Creative Suite CS 3, Acrobat Pro 9.3.2, Illustrator 13.0.2
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Dave

I've never liked the Save As PDF option in Illustrator. Though the quality is excellent, in my experience it creates bloated PDFs that are often too big to email.
Take for example the file that prompted my original post. If I print to PDF (or in this case use my workaround, creating a PS file, then converting to PDF in Distiller) using my Hi Rez preset, the final PDF is 648K. If I Save As PDF using the same preset, the final file is 5.5Mb! A ridiculous size for a CMYK flyer measuring just 134x70mm.
The reason for the size increase is obvious when the big pdf is opened in Illustrator: all the bits and pieces outside the artboard and on hidden layers are all preserved. In reality, it's just the same as the original Illustrator file seeing as Illustrator's native AI format is pretty much a pdf in all but name only.
Do you know of a way to use the Save As PDF command that eliminates the unwanted material and gets the file size down? That would really make my day!
What I wish for is an Export To PDF command as found in InDesign. That seems to give the best of both worlds.

Adobe PDF printer stopped working

Hello!
Windows XP Pro
Acrobat Standard 8.1.3
Office XP
InDesign CS3
Problem with Adobe PDF printer. It used to work fine, but it stopped working last week, whatever application I use to print. The "PDF Creation" window appears, the process seems to start, but suddenly stops in the middle, with with the word "stopped" in the progress box. I tried the repair feature of Acrobat, with no change, then completely uninstalled Acrobat (and deleted the Acrobat 8 folder), but again no luck...
Any hint as to what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance
François

I just did the following, in sequence:
I printed-to-file a document to Adobe PDF printer from Word, and opened the resulting .prn file. The conversion worked. In Distiller, I get this:
Source : extendedloan.prn
Destination : I:\Texte\extendedloan.pdf

%%[Page: 4]%%
%%[LastPage]%%
Durée de conversion : 00 heure(s) : 00 minute(s) : 04.750 seconde(s)
**** Fin du travail ****
I then tried to print the document (.doc) from Word to Adobe PDF Printer, and got this in Distiller:
Adobe PostScript :3016.102
CID support library initialization completed.
Error in PDFX4 2007.joboptions:

I then tried to print a test file from Printer Properties, and got this from Distiller:
Adobe PostScript :3016.102
CID support library initialization completed.
Error in PDFX4 2007.joboptions:

Thank you guys for trying to help,

AA8 and Win7 Home Edition - why won't Adobe PDF Printer work?

Was running AA8 on my XP Pro laptop. Installed AA8 on my netbook running Win7 Home Edition. Can't print to Adobe PDF printer - well, the reality is that the system tells me it's printing, but it never opens Acrobat or Reader to ask me where I may want to file the PDF file! Troubleshooter tells me that I'm missing the AdobePDF.dll file and that it's on "the Windows Vista CD-ROM". Unfiortunately I've never had such a CD nor have I ever used Vista. How can I get AA8 to work on my netbook?

As suggested by the link, you are likely running a 64-bit system. You have to have at least AA8.1 for 64-bit systems. If you have just installed, you are likely running 8.0. Simply open Acrobat and go to Help>Updates and request the updates in order until they are all applied and then reboot. Also, be sure that AcroTray is running in the background (ctrl-alt-del and check the task list. Enter ESC to return or just close the window).

Adobe Pdf Printer stopped working after update to Acrobat DC

Hello, I have installed Acrobat DC yesterday. Since then, Adobe Pdf Printer stopped working. It always gets stuck at Checking Fonts and any software the print originated from just hangs and I have to force it closed.
I tried uninstalling the printer and installing it manually, repairing Acrobat installation but nothing changed.
So, can somebody help me? Thanks.

A method which is written here not working - because if you start to remove the fonts one by other you will see that the list does not end there.
I did so
1. i copied the folder with the fonts from the other clean system and replace with fonts in my system
2. then i restore the registry tree HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
3. i check system with sfc /scannow
after these procedures Distiller DC continue to crash...
In this time distiller crashed when it cheking their fonts in C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Resources\Font
after i rename the folder from Font to Font_ in order to he did not check this folder
at next run Distiller crashed at the font wingding.ttf after remowing that font he crash at Vrinda.ttf (this is a oficial font of Win7 and come with him) after removing that font distiller crash at the next font name of Vani.ttf (this is a Win7 font too) - when i saw it goes on forever i back my system to normal status and uninstal Acrobat DC and back to Acrobat XI...this version work with out any problems.
We are waiting a hotfix to resolving this problem with Acrobat DC

Adobe PDF Printer (Acrobat Pro 9.3.2) causes Print Spooler crash on Windows 7 64-bit

We have recently upgraded our office to Windows 7 64-bit. This upgrade has been very smooth with the exception of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. We are running Acrobat 9.3.2, I know there are a couple of additional updates available but they do not fix this issue if installed.
The problem occurs when users create documents using the Adobe PDF printer. The Print Spooler will crash, causing the application they are printing from to stop responding and they are forced to close the program. From this point onwards the user will be unable to print to any printer whatsoever, until they restart their computer. Stopping and starting the print spooler (clearing temp files as well) sometimes corrects the issue, but by the time they have found an admin to do this they may as well just restart.
I should note that this problem is not very consistent. It occurs sometimes after one PDF has been created, sometimes after they have created many PDFs, and sometimes not at all. It doesn't seem to matter which application they create the PDF from either. It's very irritating because I can't pin it down to anything in particular.
I've Googled a lot around this subject and I can see that I am not the only one with this issue, however there don't seem to be any solutions out there. This issue is widespread across our organisation and I would greatly appreciate any constructive suggestions on finding a resolution.
Many thanks, Steve.

Several months ago, I started working on this issue and thought that I had it resolved by uninstalling the "Internet Printing Client" from "Windows Features" (Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off > expand Print and Document Services > uncheck Internet Printing Client). This change seemed to help at the time, as I was then unable to reproduce the issue and the end-user was unable to reproduce the issue for two weeks after (thus I closed the help desk case). But now it looks like the issue is back. Maybe the above setting will help someone else, but I'm now looking for a permanent fix.
PS: I have instructed our users on the "Save as PDF" option provided in Office 2010, but I don't think that is used all the time, and the PDF printer is there only option in other applications (IE for example).
Anybody had this issue and found a fix?
Thanks,
Justin
