Allowing respondents to print as PDF

Do you have any idea when we might have this ability? We want to purchase the product but this is really something that we want to see.

We probably won't be providing this functionality until the end of this year. We apologize for not providing this functionality sooner for you.

Security set to allow high resolution printing but pdf won't print

We create a large number of pdf files to send out to
clients, etc. We have been using security on all pdf's being sent out, however, some clients are having issues printing these pdf files even though our security settings are set to allow high resolution printing. Any one have any ideas why? I cannot duplicate the issue for whatever reason, the files still print for me.

I discover I am suddenly having a similar problem as well.
I have recently migrated to a new Intel iMac/Leopard, I'm on a network and trying to print to a Tektronix/Xerox 7700 laser printer. I can print anything other kind of document on that printer as long as it is not a PDF.
When I open the printer window it says the job has been stopped. I choose the job and tell it to "resume" at which point the printer pauses itself. Once it flashed a window that said Operation Not Possible - client-error-something-something and then closed before I could see what the last two words were.
I am currently using Adobe Reader 6.0. I would love to be able to try to print out of 7.0 but there seem to be continual download problems in the form of constant connection failures. I also have Acrobat 6.0 STD - can't print out of either one.

How can I print my PDF to show Javascript?

I've made a few forms for my work, and I'd like to print them and put them into a portfolio to take to future job interviews and yearly reviews. I'm trying to avoid having to take screenshots and paste them together, but if that's what I have to do, I can. Is there a feature in LC that will allow me to print my PDFs like this?
Example:
A portion of the page I designed is on the left with text boxes, etc. shown, and to the right is the code that is affected by the text field it points to.

Hi,
I guess this is not possible to do by just showing JavaScript. You can show these things in a JavaScript debugger always but while printing seems not possible. How about making a hidden Text/TextField and put some conditions/directions on how the fields should be filled up and making this Text/TextField visible at the time of printing? Because if someone does not know JavaScript and he needs to access it he will be confused. Makes sense??
Thanks,
Bibhu.

I am missing the 'print to pdf' option on my entire adobe creative suite 'HELP!'

I really need some help. After installing a new printer to my computer I noticed that my adobe programs would not longer allow me to Print to PDF. I originally thought it was a problem with my mac, but after doing tech support with them, we discovered that it is actually a problem within my adobe programs. After talking with mac, I decided to try uninstalling my new printer and rebooting my computer - this made no difference. Then I made sure all my adobe updates were current. ALL UPDATED. I also tried downloading a trial of the new acrobat 11, still nothing. Finally I uninstalled my entire suite and reinstalled it. Throughout this whole ordeal I rebooted my computer after every step. NOTHING.
Please help, I really don't know what else to try and I haven't been able to find an answer within the forums.
Just to make sure that I am clear. I am trying to resize a huge amount of PDF's created from illustrator files and would like to do this by printing to pdfs. When you try to print now, there are no options because there are no printer drivers at all.
Argh!
hope someone has an idea, I'm working on a project with a deadline and really require a solution.
Thanks
Gilbo Jaggins.

Hi, thanks for answering. No, I haven't updated the OS recently. However, doesn't the Adobe suite utilize it's own print to pdf driver? This is what I was told by Mac. Safari, Textedit, etc, all can print to pdf, so can't be a Mac issue.

Printing a pdf opens "save as" instead.

I have never had this happen, but whenever I attempt to print a pdf, it opens a "save as" box instead. So I've saved the pdf to my desktop, but after it's opened again I select print and the same "save as" box pops up again. The ONLY way I've been able to print is by right-clicking the pdf file from my desktop. Only then does it actually print.
I'm using Adobe X Reader (version 10.1.7). Why doesn't it allow me to print a pdf when the app is open?

Thank you SO much! I simply couldn't figure it out, even when scanning my print options. I also may have inadvertently selected "print to file" at some point? It's such a simple fix that I almost feel silly that I missed it.
Thanks to you and back up and running again! :-)

Has anyone been able to use auto select printing on pdf documents?

Does anyone have a fix for being able to preset the printer trays to a specific paper size to allow for autoselect printing of pdf documents with multiple size pages? The mac printing options only allow for letter or legal with scaling. I need to be able to print large documents with both size pages. Windows environement can handle this with ease. I'm very surprised Apple cannot.

How to "Print to PDF" with property "Signing: Allowed"

Print to PDF generates a file with the security document property "Signing: Not Allowed". These Properties are only visible in Acrobar reader -> File -> Properties; you can't see these in Preview.
Is there a way to change Mac OS X Print to PDF, that it generats PDFs with "Signing Allowed"?

Thomac:
After further review I discovered that it isn't the PDFs you are creating that has the problem, it is the limitations of Adobe Acrobat Reader to perform the ability to do the functions of Document Assembly, Commenting, Signing and Create Templates. If you had Acrobat Professional and opened your PDFs and checked the properties, you would discover that all these would be allowed.
Initially, I was looking at my test files with Acrobat Professional. But, when I opened the same PDF with Reader on a different machine, I was getting the same summary as well.
Adobe Reader is just that: a READER.
You can feel safe that your PDFs allow signing.

[FormsCentral] Is there any way to allow respondents print filled form before submitting

hi I want my respondents to print form (which they have already filled) before they submit the form.
Is there any way to do that?
Thank you.

If people are filling up the PDF version of your form they can print (and save) from Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader before (or after) they submit.
If people are filling up the online (web) version of your form then there is no way to print the whole form beside printing each pages manually from your browser's print functionality.

I was offered a free trial and it does not work, I filled out name and home address for future action i.e. full member ship but still trial does not do enough to print my pdf to word converstion and did not allow me to print once ready!!!

I was using adobe reader with no problems but when I went to print an pdf file to a word document it did not work and adobe wanted to charge me approx. $ 25.00. I do not understand because I just installed this adobe program, how can I convert a pdf file to a word file and then print it out?

The usual cause of a problem such as you describe is this.
1. I download Adobe Acrobat Pro free trial.
2. I install the trial (or not).
3. But then I run Adobe Reader
4. I try to use Export PDF or Create PDF in Adobe Reader.
5. Nothing has changed, these still need a subscription.
If this is the case, make sure you use Acrobat. It does NOT change Reader, it's entirely separate from it.

Printing Photoshop PDF

I am on a rented iBook G4, just got my iMac today but have not hooked it up yet --too busy. I'm on a deadline and am trying to print a Photoshop PDF to Adobe Acrobat PDF that I can to email to a number of people. I have been on a B & W G3 for seven years and have been using a program called "Print to PDF". Now I am hopelessly lost in OSX, which I will start learning after I get this project done this weekend. I created a Photoshop PDF in Photoshop CS2 and it's about 25 MB in size. I saved it as a Photoshop PDF and followed what I thought was the path and it seemed to print it; it opened in Acrobat reader but when I tried to attach it, it was even larger! It has a ton of layers but usually they save as 6-700 KB in my previos program in Classic.
Obviously, I have no idea what I am doing and need some simple explanation to compress this 8 X 10 page full of pictures and type into a reasonably sized PDF the way I used to!!!
Forever grateful; I did search the site but didn't find what I needed to know.

Gasketgirl, On top of flattening the layers, then saving as a Photoshop PDF, you can reopen the file in Acrobat and using the advanced menu, look for an option called 'Optimize PDF'. This option (and there are many more options once you open the dialogue) allows you to compress the file, downsample (I don't suggest you do this) and remove application specific data. Don't save the file after Optimizing as the optimizing itself is a save option. Resaving again removes much of the Optimization you just did!!!

Print to PDF 9.0 - Not able in QuarkXpress!

I recently got a new iMac and also purchased the CS4 Design Premium Suite (including Acrobat 9.0) and QuarkXpress 8. I am having trouble "printing to PDF" in QuarkXpress. I tried printing to PDF in other programs, like Word, Excel, etc., and they all work fine. But when I try to create a PDF from Quark, no file appears. I am able to open the print dialog box while it's saving, and it all looks fine... the file pops up in the progress list, opens distiller, and disappears from the progress box. When I view the Completed Jobs, the file even shows up there. But when I go to the destination I chose when saving the PDF, nothing shows up. I tried typing my chosen file name in the search spot of my Finder, and no PDF of that name is located anywhere in my system.
I AM able to File > Export Layout as PDF, and the PDF shows up. But that is an annoying and slower method, and doesn't allow me to save my PDF presets of choice. Plus, it leaves a stupid .log file along with the pdf file that it creates, which clutters up my folders.
I just want to do want I've always done, which is Command+P, and choose "Adobe PDF" as my printer, and get a PDF.
Interestingly, I still have my old laptop, and I installed the new version of QuarkXpress on it, but kept the old CS3 applications (i.e. Acrobat 8.0). And I have no trouble printing to PDF on it. So the only differences are 1) the version of Adobe, and 2) the operating systems.... my new computer has Leopard, and the older laptop has Tiger.
I've tried uninstalling Adobe Acrobat and re-installing it from the disk. But no difference! PLEASE someone help!
Thanks! Carrie

Quark has it's own built in PDF exporter called JAWS. Set it up in preferences and execute it via the file menu item, i.e., export as PDF. It doesn't however make Version 9 PDF's tho or any version that doesn't flatten the PDF.

Since neither are Apple products, you should post your question on the Adobe forums and/or the Quark forums, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

Print to PDF only saves to the desktop

When I try to "Print to PDF" it gives be the dialogue box to tell the program where to save the file. I can pick any location I wish but when I click save; the file is not there...unless I tell it to save to the desktop. I have tried adjusting the properties but nothing I can find will allow it to save the file anywhere but the desktop. This only started happening after installing one of the latest Adobe software upgrades. Is there anything I can do to fix this? It's incredibly inconvenient to save everything to my desktop, then go move the file where it's supposed to go later.

I have just tried Print to PDF from Word 2010 (on Windows 7 with Acrobat XI), and I had no problem whatsoever to place the result into my Documents folder.
Could it be a permission problem on your target folders?
P.S. does Save as PDF have the same problem?

Programs stop responding when I try to print to PDF

Info on what I'm using:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit
Using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, version 8.1.0, up to date on updates
In this example, Microsoft Office 2007, no add-ons besides the Adobe Acrobat add-in that allows the creation of a PDF (but happens in all programs)
Problem:
I have always created a PDF from a Word/Excel document by printing to PDF (File --> Print --> Select Adobe PDF as printer --> Hit OK). Generally, the next step that occurs is a dialog box appearing that prompts me to select the location where I want to save the PDF and to specify a file name. Several weeks ago, this process stopped working. Now when I hit "Ok" to print to PDF, no dialog box appears and whatever program I'm in freezes/stops responding. Aside: I have tried printing to PDF from several other programs to see if the problem occurs in those as well, and it does -- printing to PDF freezes whatever program I am attempting to print from. (For example, MS Paint, Internet Explorer, Firefox, even Notepad)
Bullet point summary of what I have tried:
Canceling the print jobs in the Adobe PDF printer under "Devices and Printers" (jobs say they are canceling but never clear from the print queue unless I go into Services and restart my print spooler) and reprinting (freezes again)
Restarting computer (had no effect)
Setting Adobe PDF as my default printer (had no effect)
Setting TrueType font as "Native TrueType" under the Adobe PDF printer properties (Layout --> Advanced --> PostScript Options) (suggested in another thread I read about this problem; had no effect)
Checking to make sure that Word had not "adjusted" the security settings for the Adobe add-in (disabling it) under the Trust Center (Adobe add-in was still enabled, so nothing to change there)
Changing the printer properties to print directly to the printer rather than spooling first (had no effect)
Saving as PDF using File --> Save As --> Selecting PDF as file type (does work and is an acceptable substitute except when I need to convert multiple files to PDF at once and don't have time to go in to each individual file and convert it separately)
Repairing the Acrobat installation from within Adobe or from the Programs and Features menu under the Control Panel (does work, did fix the problem; but see followup below).
Repairing the Acrobat installation worked when I did it a few weeks ago. Once I went through the process, I attempted to print a document to PDF and it worked. But this morning when I attempted to print another document to PDF, it froze Word again and has been doing that ever since, so it does not seem to be a permanent fix. I had succesfully printed several documents to PDF this morning before it stopped working; the document I printed to PDF immediately before the document that froze was the exact same as the document froze in every way except the actual text (formatting, document objects, etc.). So I don't think it was something in the content of the document that "broke" the Adobe PDF printer.
I am sure I can try repairing the Adobe installation again, but I really do not want to have to do that all of the time. Does anyone know what the problem is? I haven't found anything that explains what's going on.

Anyone?

How to read and print a Pdf from Server

Hallo, i need a help. I have some pdf documents on server and i want to allow viewing and printing them from the client. I would like not to have it outside my application cause i don't want client computers have to download adobe reader.. I think that purePDF can help me but i really don't know how to load the stream and put it on display.. Can anyone help me or give me some advices?
Thx for all
Max

The simplest way that I know of would be to use 'navigateToURL()' and let the user to print the pdf from the browser.
Does anyone have the advice on doing this within the Flex app; i.e. without opening a new browser window?
