  • How do I add a "PDF printer"  print to PDF so that I can create PDFs from any source I can print ?

    How do I add a "PDF printer"  print to PDF so that I can create PDFs from any source I can print ?
    I am using ADOBE Reader X Thanks

    Pat;  using Windows you can create a "PDF printer" which is a virtual device that you can select when you want to create an Adobe PDF file from anything you normally would print to hardcopy.  As an example if I were on a webpage article that spanned two or three pages so a screen capture wouldn't really work, if I had a "Adobe PDF Printer" I would select that as my default printer and then print the webpage article.  Instead of the webpage article going to a real printer and producing hardcopy, the Adobe PDF printer would ask me for a file name and then "print" the file by creating an Adobe PDF file.  Does that help ?  Best regards,  Doug

  • Can't create PDF from most MS Office files, or combine

    After behaving nicely for months, Acrobat suddenly won't create PDFs, either from the Acrobat menu or (for most) from right-clicking in Explorer. If I try File> Create PDF> From File, the dialog says it's looking for 'all supported formats' but doesn't show any of the files in the folder (not even .TXTs). It'll create a PDF from the right-click menu in Explorer, for only a very a few file types (for example, .docx but not .doc), and it won't do a Combine Files, either from Explorer or from the program, for any filetypes (says 'cannot convert file' on all filetypes).
    This worked fine up til today and I have the same setup at work (AA 9 Pro and Office 2010) where it works fine. Tried doing a 'Repair' but no change. Starting to panic here. What went south? Thanks for any clues!

    I said to print as a check, not to forget PDF Maker. The print is a temporary work around while you resolve the issue, partiuclarly if you are under time pressure. With versions before AA9, PDF Maker was simply a front end for the printer and when the printer was checked things might fail. So you get some trouble shooting of where the problem is. If you do not want to troubleshoot to see if everything is broken, that is fine.
    The updates and repairs are other steps to take. A reinstall is typically a last resort and should include deletion of the Acrobat folder and running a cleaner on the registry after the uninstall.
    Generally, if the PDF Maker in WORD does not work, then none of the other options to right click and create a PDF or creating a PDF directly in WORD will not work either. The whole point is to trace down to what is the major problem. Often folks have problems because the PDF Maker is not being recognized in WORD and has to be activated, but you have the icon and that suggests things should work.
    Your next step is to check the job settings file. Be sure you have access to the job settings file. You will usually get an error message if this access is denied for some reason and posting the error is helpful.

  • Creating .pdf from a certain word file results in "2-layer" scrunched/superimposed text in places

    Whether I export this certain .docx file from within Word 2007 or I import the file from within Adobe Acrobat Pro X, the same thing happens. It only happens on a few pages, but it's enough that people are losing their minds. Thoughts? This is what it looks like:

    How are you creating the PDF from Word (PDFMaker macro or Adobe PDF printer)? Does it display like this or print like this? Both?

  • How to create PDF from Publisher A3 landscape file

    I have a poster in an A3 landscape Publisher file, two pages.  When I created a PDF it came out as portrait, and only the left half of each page.  What can I do?  I need to take it to be printed, as I don't have an A3 printer, and the office shop wants it as a PDF.

    Not sure where that leaves the bUseConv parameter...
    bUseConv
    (optional, Acrobat 7.0) A Boolean value that is used when cPath references a non-PDF file. If true, the method tries to convert the non-PDF file to a PDF document. The default is false.
    Do you mean that, despite being documented, it isn't supported?

  • Creating PDF from ERD (Data Modeler) in readable format

    I created an entity relationship diagram (ERD) using Toad Data Modeler.  I want to save/print it to PDF, which I can just fine.  However, it cuts off tables and is very hard to read.  I'm looking for a format to use that will not cut off the tables.  I've played around with various settings, but can't get it to look right.  Are there specific settings I should be targeting so it won't cut off the diagram?  Thank you!

    Thank you.  I've been playing around with the page size, but it still wants to cut off some of my tables, almost as if I can't get the diagram to size into the size of the PDF margins.  I can't seem to find the magic combination so I figured I must be missing a parameter setting somewhere.  Thank you for your time.

  • Some pictures are removed while creating pdf from MS word

    Hi
    I have some problems with creating PDF from MS word 2007 file.
    I'm using Acrobat X pro and MS office 2007. My system is windows XP Pro SP3.
    I'm making some documents including many tables and figures. They're created and modified in MS word and when I publish them, I have to convert them in PDF files.
    At first, the body of the document and figures are separated. I converted them individually and insert the figure pdf files to the body pdf files.
    One day, my boss wanted to combine the seperated word file into one file and I did it. There was no problem before I created PDF file.
    There are sample of the PDF.
    This is a part of missing picture. After conversion, another parts are unseen and I can find only this part.
    Sorry that I can't reveal all parts of picture.
    As you see up there, a little part of whole pictures are found (but they are reversed) and another pictures are just missing.
    Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

    I don't know about the PC version but in the Mac version if you don't have drawing objects checked in Print and
    in the view menus, when you print to PDF, the images won't be there.
    I would assume there are the same settings in PC even if you Print to PDF printer or what other method available to PC.

  • Can't Create PDF "from file" using any MS Office files

    Acrobat 8.1.1 Pro. (OS = XP), as part of the CS3 premium edition.
    I can no longer get Acrobat to recognize any of the MS Office applications extensions (.doc, .ppt, etc...) for use with either Create PDF "From File" or when using the Combine Files feature to Merge or Package. The extensions are no longer even listed as an option in the dialog box, or in the Preference settings under "Convert to PDF".
    FYI- I can still use the PDF Maker functionality from within the MS Office application to create a PDF.
    Any Idea what could have happened, or more importantly how to fix?
    ***Update***
    I have re-installed the Acrobat 8 application, and the problem still exists.
    I'm truly puzzled.

    I get this with my PC and I ran detect-repair and reinstalled. Some PDF's I can open and other's I cannot. I can send the email to a cohort and they can open fine.
    "Can't create file: Right-click the folder you want to create the file in and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder"
    Any ideas would be great.
    Thanks!

  • Unable to create PDF from Publisher file

    I am able to create .pdf from a .jpg, also from an .xls ... but not from a Publisher document (2007).
    I get a prompt to run in repair mode and I tried that (twice) but the problem is not being corrected.  At one point I had a message about PDFMOUTLOOK and thought I disabled it.   I tried both ways, from inside Publisher, and dire Any help will be greatly appreciated.ctly from Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro ... neither works.
    Below is the log:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
    Stack:
    -169
    -mark-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    LinK

    Interestingly, "PDFMOUTLOOK" is apparenly related to PDF Maker for Outlook. It has also been suggested to be Malware (not good). That would suggest you may have some corruption. I am not saying you do, but just what is hinted at by a web search.
    In terms of the printing process. The Adobe PDF printer creates a PS file. With Acrotray active, this PS file causes Acrotray to activate Distiller in the background and complete the conversion of the PS file to PDF. That is the basic conversion process used by Acrobat to create PDF files. Distiller is always in the picture, it just may be running in the background. If Acrotray is not active, the process will stall. Since you are seeing a Distiller log screen, your process seems to be working.
    PDF Maker is basically a preprocessor for the Adobe PDF printer. The preprocessor inserts PDF Marks into the PS file that is created to allow the conversion to PDF to include bookmarks, links, etc. My suggestion about PDF Maker (since the print process seems to work) is that there may be something in PDF Maker that is causing the problem. From the web search, it appears it may even be a virus type of aspect that hit your PDF Maker. Again, I am not saying that is the case, only suggesting it as a possibility. If you can create the PDF from the printer, then the basic process of creating PDFs is working and it is then a process of checking out the problems with PDF Maker. For that, I typically suggest turning all of the options off and then adding them back in to see what triggers the problem. You are basically in a trouble shooting mode and need to isolate the problem.

  • Creating PDF from Office files in Acrobat X for Mac

    Dear All - I just installed the Mac version of Acrobat X (with the newest dot release upgrade).  I was surprised to find (on my installation anyway) that the only way to create a PDF from an Office document is from within Mac Office, using the print command to create an Adobe PDF. 
    There is no way to use Create PDF from the initial screen or the menu bar of Mac Acrobat X to convert an existing .doc, .docx, .xls, .ppt, etc. file  - the dropdown list of supported formats doesn't include any of the Office formats.  Nor does dragging an Office file's icon onto Acrobat's icon work.
    I know from the video tutorials on adobe.com that the Windows version of the Acrobat X product does support direct conversion of Office files without having to open them first in Office.  Is there something screwy with my particular installation, or is the exclusion of Office conversion in the Acrobat application (as opposed to through Office) a "feature" of the Mac version for some reason?
    Many thanks.
    Bob

    That's a good question, but I don't have a definitive answer. I know that Adobe has claimed to be working on providing PDFMaker capabilities (at least partially) for the Mac, but we haven't seen anything yet. PDFMaker was dropped as of version 9, but even before then, it was considerably less capable than the Windows version.
    I believe there are techincal limitations on the Mac that prevent them from integrating it with Microsoft Office products. I know that on WIndows, Office needs to be installed for PDFMaker to work, so Acrobat (PDFMaker) relies in part on MS Office functionality. If the same APIs aren't available on the Mac, there's not a lot they can do apart from implementing a conversion process that does not rely on MS Office, which sounds to me like a considerable undertaking.

  • Can't create PDF from Word file

    I may be missing some functionality or that functionality may not exist.
    I'm running Acrobat Pro 9.2 and MS Word 2004 (11.5) on OSX Leopard 10.5.8. I want to create a PDF from a Word file but NOT using the Print dialog. I want to either create it in Acrobat using File > Create PDF > From File or create it from within Word using the Acrobat menu/toolbar. This is so that it will end up as a tagged PDF.
    However, I don't have an Acrobat menu or toolbar in Word. I thought Acrobat was supposed to have installed these into MS Office when I installed Acrobat. And when within Acrobat if I select File > Create PDF > From File and choose a Word file, I get a message "Acrobat could not open 'filename.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged". This happens for all Word files.
    Looking in Acrobat > About Adobe Plug-Ins... under Convert2AdobePDF it says 'Loaded: no'.
    Are these two methods of converting Word files to PDFs something that can only be done in the Windows version of Acrobat? Or is there a plug-in or update I can download to install this missing functionality?
    Thanks for your help,
    Mark

    Keep your Office2004. But Office 2008 does have a way to create PDF's from within  the word and excel Programs.
    It works better than through the AdobePDF Printer, or through the Apple Print menus save as PDF. (Unless you have X.6.x Snow leopard)
    One thing it gets around is a long standing Problem Acrobat has had with word and excel since Word 6.0.1.a/Excel 5.0.1a. Acrobat doesn't know how to interpert Word Page section Breaks. Chopping up a word/excel document in to multiple PDFs that have to be merged back together. MS came up with their own PDF Converter that gets around that problem.

  • Creating PDF from multiple files results in file name AND chapter name both appearing in TOC.

    And all the bookmarks in that chapter nest directly under the file name. I would rather have just the chapter title appear with no file name in the TOC and the chapter bookmarks nested under that.

    Hi tekwrite1955,
    This is an expected behavior. When you create a pdf from any file it will list the filename in the TOC.
    You have to manually edit the bookmarks.

  • Creating PDF from File, missing Settings

    Acrobat Professional. 6.0.
    I never used Acrobats "Create PDF from file", as in my MS Office 2000 there was "Acrobat - Convert to Adobe PDF" menu item with the possibility to change joboptions settings.
    My current MS Office 2007 now has its own PDF convertor only, so I tried the Acrobats feature "Create PDF from file". It works, but the Settings button is grayed out with all Office file types. I didnt find a way how to access Acrobats settings, so I tried by first opening Distiller and changing the options there. Nothing happened, the output from Acrobat has always the same file size and quality. Of course I could make PDF out from Office by printing to Adobe PDF printer, but how with other file types which are not Office types.
    Thanks for suggestions, i.e. for showing me what I eventually didnt consider.

    As I and Bernd tried to say. AA6 does not support OFFICE 2007. The fact that you have PDF Maker from AA6 working in WORD 2007 is surprising. Since it is not a normal or supported operation, we have no idea what to tell you. It should not even be working. You are the first one I have ever heard say that they have the AA6 PDF Maker (create PDF is the way it shows up) working in OFFICE 2007!
    Thus, I may misunderstand. But I am trying to tell you that none of us have experience with the configuration. Adobe will also tell you to simply upgrade. Unfortunately, that leaves you on your own to experiment. If you have questions along the way based on your observations, we would be glad to try to help, but don't expect too much.

  • File, create PDF, from web page, entire site...questions

    I am new to adobe, is this the proper forum for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for macintosh?  I think yes...
    Created a PDF from:  File, create PDF, from web page, entire site.
    Is there a way to print this without the background color?  If you printed from a browser, you could choose not to print the back ground color.  I know exactly the color.
    Is there a way to make this PDF look like the web, with no page breakes?  I have tried various things, but the page breaks are always displayed.
    Is there a way to create bookmarks on somthing other than the title tag in the web site?  The title tag is an SEO 1 sentence summary of the page, which makes for very long book mark names.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How do I create a 300 dpi PDF from a Word 2003 file?

    I need to convert a Word (2003) file to a High-res PDF file for the printers. They have requested 300 dpi.
    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (trial version).
    The file contains a number of pictures in jpg format. Most of these are pretty high resolution. The document printed in Word on a laser printer looks fine.
    I did try saving the file a a PDF file, and that did work, however it was low resolution. There must be some settings I have to change. How do I set things so it will creat a high resolution PDF file?

    There is no such thing as resolution of a PDF file. Text and vectors in PDF are preserved and get scaled depending on the device on which PDF is shown.
    Images in PDF do have a resolution that you can set when creating PDF. When printing your file from Word:
    After File>Print, select printer properties.
    In "ADobe PDF Settings" tab, you will see "Default Settings" - click the Edit button next to it.
    In the Images pane, select your desired resolution.
