    Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
    Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time.

  • Acrobat won't print to installed printer, only to adobe pdf file

    This is a sudden problem, started about a week ago.  When I open or download a pdf file - any file - and try to print, the print box reads "adobe pdf."  No matter which installed printer I try to print to, the entry flashes back to adobe pdf.  This happens in Acrobat 7.  I downloaded the newest version of Reader, and it does the same thing.  No, the print to file box is not checked.  These files can be opened and printed from any other computer in the office, so it's not the files.  Using Windows 7 and the printer is HPx476dn.  Help?

    Hi Maureen,
    Can you please elaborate your issue? 
    Do you want to set a different printer as default printer?
    If yes, then please follow the steps in this KB doc. Change the system default printer

  • Printing Problem to Adobe PDF printer

    When I print to my Adobe PDF printer I comes out unreadable, but if I copy the unreadable text and paste into word I can read it.
    Unreadable text in Acrobat is in Courier, and readable in Acrobat is in Vernada (that's what is shows in word).  Does anyone have any ideas?
    Version Acrobat Pro 9.4.5

    I talked with Adobe and they showed me an option for fonts (listed below).  Uncheck the hightlighted option.
    And now it prints correctly.

  • Very slow printing to default Adobe PDF printer

    I have a 150 page FrameMaker document (with lots of linked Illustrator CS4 files) that is taking 7 MINUTES to print to the default Adobe PDF printer. In contrast, an old QuickSilver / Interleaf document that is 200 pages long and contains even more graphics embedded as huge TIF files, takes 20 seconds to print to the same default Adobe PDF printer.
    I have tried all the suggestions I can find on the web, including Adobe forums, but nothing works. Can anyone suggest why printing from FrameMaker 9 to Adobe PDF is taking such a long time? It would appear to be a FrameMaker problem, since every other application can print to the Adobe PDF printer without any problems, and so can FrameMaker... but only at a snail's pace!
    I am using TS2 (FrameMaker 9 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended) on a 3.0 GHz Quad Core PC running Windows XP Pro.

    My computer
    Windows XP Professional
    Version2002
    Service Pack 3
    Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4CPU 3.00GHz
    2.99GHz, 3.25GB of RAM
    Using Acrobat 8.1 Professional. (Haven't upgraded because I saw too many posts with people having problems.)
    Using Adobe Design Premium CS3 (I use AI files, we always have for any vector files and way to many to change over to EPS.)
    We have also been changing over from Interleaf. I really like FM except for this problem. Very glad to get out of Interleaf.
    We also used InDesign for a while and there are no problems printing to pdf.

  • Avoiding the 'Save PDF File As' dialog when printing to the adobe PDF printer from a service

    Hello, can someone please help.
    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro installed.
    I have an in house application which (among many other things) effectively monitors a directory and prints the file to the default printer. It works fine when run as an application.
    I have set the defaults on the Adobe PDF printer to put the output PDF file into a directory and not to open it so it works silently without prompts.
    When I run my application as a service, it brings up the 'Save PDF File As' dialog and I would like to avoid this. My impression is that if I put the right registry key in then it will work.
    I do not want to do any scripting if I can avoid it.
    Thanks for all constructive help given.

    Thank for your help Bill, but changing settings in the distiller did not seem to work. As my application prints directly to the default application without using anything specific to Acrobat, I was hoping there was a simple way forward. A colleague suggested copying registry entries from the account I logged on as to the S-1-5-18 entry, then rebooting. This had no effect as the prompt still comes up.
    Aandi, I don't have the Acrobat SDK or any experience of it.
    Also I'm not sure where any code/script would sit since the application is stable and so I would rather not change it.
    If it amounts to a few lines of javascript sitting outside the application then that would be of interest.

  • Now I can't print to the Adobe PDF printer

    At the same time I started having problems updating Acrobat (see my post yesterday, please), my Adobe PDF printer disappeared from system preferences. I've added it back using the help>repair option, but the printer no longer works.
    Every time I try to print, the printer pauses, then when I restart it and try to resume the document I get an error...
    Operation could not be completed
    Client-error-not-possible
    I've done a complete uninstall/reinstall of the whole Design Standard CS3 suite 3 times now, including removing my prefs and serial number (so starting from scratch), but this error, and the Acrobat updating problem, won't go away.
    Please can someone help me on these?
    Thanks, Nige

    Try going to Printer Utility and deleting any reference to the adobe Pdf Printer Driver.
    Then you find file anlocate all versions of PDF Printer. remove all traces of version Previous to this version.
    Now open Acrobat and got to help menu repair and replace and have it repair the Printer Driver again.
    Note: PDF Printer does not work within Acrobat nor Reader. only with other applications. (Or at least I've never been able to have it work within Acrobat/Reader.)

  • How to fix missing entries in the printing preferences of Adobe PDF

    Hi all,
    we are on Acrobat Pro 8 (8.16) as part of the CS3 Design Standard package.
    A colleague of mine is missing some of the entries in the printing preferences of the Adobe PDF printer:
    The Adobe PDF Security dropdown is empty and he can't set the Printer to ask him where to put the final pdf files ("Prompt for Adobe PDF filename").
    I already tried repairing Acrobat - didn't help.
    Has anyone some ideas what to do?
    Many thanks,
    Mike

    This is getting nasty:
    After reinstalling Acrobat (via the add CS3 components function in "add or remove software") it wants to be activated (!?!) and doesn't accept the CS3 key any more.
    So I will probably have to reinstall the whole CS3.
    Is there any way to make sure that every trace of the old installation gets deleted before I start?

  • How do I have my articles on website print automatically to Adobe pdf?

    Hello,
    I am the editor of the website theidchannel.com, and often the users desire to print the articles. How do I make the article-document automatically appear as an Adobe pdf when the user select to print?
    Thanks!
    DK

    Good day DK,
    You can automate the workflow you described with Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator ES2.
    Alternatively, you could create PDF versions of your articles and link them for users as a printer-friendly option.

  • Problem printing files to Adobe PDF printer using VBA

    I have an Excel project. Part of the code prints the active sheet range as a PDF file. Later code then sends the PDF file as an e-mail attachment. The Code was originally written using the free application PDFCreator and works as intended. However the client wants to use the Acrobat "Adobe PDF" printer instead.
    Each PDF must have a name as specified in the code and must be sent to a specified folder, again as specified in the code.
    The Adobe PDF printer insists on 1) using the path specified in the printer preferences and 2) naming it as the workbook name + .pdf.
    I have checked the Distiller API reference and it tells me that if a key is set, the output path and name can be controlled. However, setting the key as described does not work. The PDF printer ignores it and creates another key named as the output file with a REG_SZ value that is numeric and increments each time print is invoked.
    Attached is a screen shot of the registry entries.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I have.
    However, I think I have solved this.
    First, I am using Win 7 64 bit, so the application is not excel but c:\windows\splwow64.exe. I've modified my code so that both XP 32 and Win7 64 are catered for.
    Second, the print command I used in VBA was
    ActiveSheet.Printout ActivePrinter:= "Adobe PDF"
    It looks like that starts a different Adobe DF printer to the one that would look at the registry. If I change the code to
    ActiveSheet.Printout
    and set Adobe PDF as the default printer in control panel, the whole thing works as planned.
    All I need to do now is to set the printer to Adobe PDF within the code so the user doesn't have to do this in Control Panel. Obviously, my approach above didn't work, so what is the way to do this?
    Here's the sub routine as it stands at the moment:
    Public Sub PrintUsingAcrobat()
        Dim strOutFile As String
        Dim PDFPath As String
        Dim FileName As String
        Dim XPApplic As String
        Dim X64Applic As String
        XPApplic = Application.Path & "\excel.exe"
        X64Applic = "C:\Windows\splwow64.exe"
        Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE As Long = &H80000002
        Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER As Long = &H80000001
        Dim lRC
        Dim sPath
        Dim objRegistry
        PDFPath = outpath ' outpath is a global variable set elsewhere
        strOutFile = Range("Suppliername") & ".pdf"
        FileName = PDFPath & strOutFile
        Set objRegistry = GetObject("winmgmts://./root/default:StdRegProv")
        sPath = "SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl"
        lRC = objRegistry.SetStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, sPath, XPApplic, FileName)
        lRC = objRegistry.SetStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, sPath, X64Applic, FileName)
        ActiveSheet.PrintOut
        DoEvents
    End Sub

  • Print issue with Adobe PDF reader print in IE9

    We are unable to print Brava PDF documents with Adobe PDF reader activeX enabled in IE9. The same runs fine in Chrome with  Adobe PDF reader activeX enabled.
    I noticed Chrome uses
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AIR\nppdf32.dll, whereas IE9 uses-C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll. 
    Has anyone faced this issue?

    Can you print other pdf files from within IE9? Can you download the files and print them directly from Reader on you computer? Please list the steps you are using to print the pdf from IE9.

  • Incorrect A4 size when creating print preset for adobe PDF?

    Hi
    I've run into a strange "issue", which I'm trying to understand.
    If I create a new document in InDesign CS4 (or CS5) in papersize A4, the size is obviously 210mmx297mm. All is good.
    If I want to print this document as a postscript document, to a file, I create a new Preset.
    1) File->Print Presets->Define
    2) New
    3) Printer: Adobe PDF
    Now if I select the Setup option the paper size says A4, but the size is: 209,98mm x 297,039.
    Anybody care to explain why it's not a "correct" A4 size?
    Thanks in advance!
    Ruvan

    Guys, I really appreciate the time and effort.
    I haven't done the math, but I think its still a little strange that the width is a little too small and the height a little too big.
    Anyway, what I also think is a bit strange is that if I select a real printer physical printer, not Adobe PDF, then the sizes are all correct.
    Thanks

  • HELP! Conversion to Adobe PDF - Causing Word 2003 to Freeze Up!!

    I searched the forum and couldn't find anything addressing this. I'm trying to create 508 compliant PDFs out of Word 2003 (Windows XP), using Acrobat 8.0 Professional. So far, no success.
    I open the Word document. The Adobe PDF and Acrobat Comments menus are displayed on the menu bar. I select "Standard" settings, then "Convert to Adobe PDF."
    Word gets about 10% into the conversion, opens a "Now printing Page 1..." popup, and that's it - the application freezes completely and I have to restart the program.
    Is there some setting that's conflicting with this command? What can I do to make this work?? It's driving me COMPLETELY crazy.

    You likely do not have AcroTray running in the background and so the print process fails.

  • In windows 8 I can't print to an Adobe PDF printer

    Upgraded to windows 8 (forced to) and reloaded Adobe 8.  Even though it created the printer (PDF) it returns a printer error everytime you try to print to it.

    Did all the updates thru 8.1.7.  Now it tells me to print the document I need to activate Adobe which I did when I installed it.  Under the Help screen the activation tab is greyed out.  If I did de-activate it on my old laptop I don’t think it would change the state of this tab.

  • Error printing bills to Adobe PDF from Timeslips 10

    I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional.  When I try to print a bill from Timeslips 10 to the Adobe printer driver, I receive the following error message:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[ Warning: Geneva-Roman cannot be embedded because of font file error. ]%%
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: show; ErrorInfo: CharOffsets  %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    It appears to be a problem in Distiller, but I have no idea how to fix it.  I have checked, and all of the fonts I use in the invoice are installed on the computer.
    What can I do to a) locate and then b) fix the corrupted font file?

    You have 2 choices. However, first you need to check the font file (typically located in Windows>Fonts or Control Panel>Fonts) and be sure that embedding is permitted. The font may be restricted, not necessarily corrupt.
    The 2 solutions are:
    1. Get a copy of the font that does permit embedding.
    2. Go to the settings file and disable the embedding of this font that is causing problems. Hopefully, your system can still handle the display of the font.
