How do I install a PDF printer on Macbook air?

I want to be aple when ever I "print" to have a choice of my regular printer or PDF   I don't know how to install this on my dropdown..   

Hi Donallenava,
Mac OS X has PDF printing included right on the system. As you can see in this picture:
So you shouldn't need to install anything at all.
Hope it helps
Chris

  • How do I install the PDF printer in Acrobat Standard 10.1.12??

    Updated to Acrobat Standard 10.1.12 a week ago and noticed that no PDF printer was installed.  How do I install the PDF printer??

    Sara,
    Yes I’m running Windows 7 (64-bit).  I went to the web site and followed the Add Printer instructions.  I tried all of the Adobe PDF Converters and I got either one or the other of the two messages in the attached file.  I appreciate your help and hope you’ve got other ideas.  By the way, I’ve already completely un-installed Acrobat Standard X and reinstalled.  No joy.  When I got this PC I had to install this version of Acrobat on the machine and I had no problems like this.  I have also applied several updates to my original version of Acrobat Standard X and I never had this issue.  This issue just came about when I applied the 10.1.12 update.  But the un-install and re-install has not fixed the PDF printer issue.
    So, hope you’ve got some other magic.  It does seem like some needed Adobe software is missing or there is something else on my machine that is impacting the proper installation of the Adobe software pieces (or not allowing some pieces to install).
    Thanks for your help,
    Nick

  • I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

    I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

    After you go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources as suggested by sberman, click on the + button and scroll down to Portuguese and select that.  Over at the right you will see the choices Brazilian, Brazilian abnt, Portuguese.  You might want to add all three to see which you like best.
    The "Brazilian" layout is pretty useless.  It is identical to the US layout and the only way to make accents is via the option key shortcuts:  option + n, then o gives you õ.
    The Brazilian abnt and Portuguese layouts have dead keys for adding accents over at the right edge of the keyboard.  But these may not match what is printed on your keys.
    You may prefer to stay with the US layout.  On that you can get accented letters by just holding down the base letter and selecting what you want from the popup menu that appears.  Or you can use the option key shortcuts.
    Another option is the layout called US International PC, which has accent deadkeys on ~, ', etc.
    Which ever layout you want to use, you must select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
    To see which key does what for any layout, use the Keyboard Viewer:

  • How do i install more memory in my macbook air? it only has 4GB

    How can i install more memory in my macbook air? it has 4GB only and it keeps telling me my start up disk is full.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    In the case of the MacBook Pro with Retina display and the MacBook Air, memory is soldered into the logic board, so you can't add more memory after buying the MacBook.
    However, memory isn't your problem. One thing is the memory and another thing is the hard drive, and you are running out of space in the hard drive, not in memory.
    To fix this, just delete files that you don't need, or move them to an external drive, in order to make free space on your MacBook

  • How can I install my CS5 onto my MacBook Air?

    How can I install my CS5 onto my MacBook Air? I have my serial number, but I can't find anywhere to download the program on the Adobe site. The physical CDs are useless w/MacBook Air.
    Thanks!
    Emily

    The physical disks are OK with MacBook Air if you buy a cheap external DVD drive and connect via USB. That's how I install DVD software on my MacBook Air.
    That said, you can download the software from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links won't work.

  • How do i install the pdf printer

    How do i install the pdf printer

    And on what system? Using what version of Acrobat? Sounds like the typical "I have an Acrobat version from the stone age and want to install it on Win7/ Win8" and if that's the case, you should stop wasting time and just byuy a new license. Anything before Acro 9 is not compatible with these OSs.

  • How can I install the pdf printer when Win 7 doesn't offer the choice?

    Hi,
    I have Acrobat 8.0 Pro, and in XP I used to have an Adobe pdf printer in my printer's dropdown list, so that it was possible to convert anything in any application into a pdf document.
    Now I had to change the system, and I try to install a pdf printer. The Acrobat help simply says "in devices and printers chose the pdf printer". Yes, would be easyif it were at choice. But it isn't.
    I assume there must be a driver missing. Does anybody know anything about the what and where?
    Thanks for your help.

    AA8 works on VISTA and several folks have reported it working on 32-bit Win7 (I have only heard of 2 getting it to work on the 64-bit system). Adobe does not support AA8 beyond VISTA (actually they won't give much support on AA8 for anything anymore). If you were successful in the Win7 installation and Acrobat and Distiller both open, then there is a chance you will be able to get things taken care of. As I understand it, you can open Acrobat, but the updates in the help menu do not respond. In that case go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and download the updates for manual installation. If you start with the most current update, it will tell you on the download page the previous update that is required. That way you can go back through the updates and install the needed ones in order. Reboot after the last update only.

  • How do i install a brother printer on macbook

    How can i install a Brother Printer on a MacBook
    I do not know the IP address of the printer
    i have tried installing the Brother software but nothing seems to work

    Most Brother printers use Bonjour to advertise themselves to the subnet.
    So, you don't generally need to hardcode your printer's IP address.
    You can if you want to, though.
    When you installed the Brother software, what specifically did you install?
    Something off a CD, something you downloaded, what?  Is it on Lion or SL?
    Where is your MacBook relative to your printer, network-wise?

  • How do I Install a PDF Printer Manually for Acrobat 6.0 Pro

    My PDF Printer disappeared from my printer list. How can I manually re-install it? I tried following the directions given to another user for Acrobat 10.0 in this forum but was not successful with my 6.0 version. Can anyone help please? I really need my PDF Printer.

    A repair can be done from the Help>Repair menu (at least I think that AA6 can do that). Sometimes the repair can be done from the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel, but you may need the CD in this case. You might also try just updating AA6 (now at 6.0.6) either from the help menu or by downloading the updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows (similar for MAC). For the downloads, be sure to install them in order and probably disable antivirus during the updates. You generally do not have to reboot until you have completed all of the updates.

  • How to install Canon MG3170 printer to Macbook Air (mid 2012), both USB & wifi

    I have been trying to install the Canon MG3170 to my Macbook Air (mid 2012 version) using OS X Version 10.8.4. I followed the paper manual that came with the box & used the CD provided. In the midst of the installation, "AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILE TRYING TO ADD THE SELECTED PRINTER: UNABLE TO FIND THE APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE ON YOUR SYSTEM AFTER RUNNING SOFTWARE UPDATE."
    Problems:
    1) Cannot connect on Network because there is no WPS button on my Airport Extreme and Airport Express.
    2) Cannot print, both via USB or wifi network.
    When I bought the printer, I specifically selected this because it has Airprint and wireless printing and was one of the few printers in the Apple Online store. However, I have been having a lot of issues getting the printer installed to be used on  my Macbook Air.
    Please help!!

    Thank you John Galt!
    After running SOFTWARE UPDATE, I restarted the Macbook. (DO NOT CONNECT THE PRINTER TO THE MACBOOK YET!)
    Then I connected the Canon Printer MG3170 to my MacBook Air via the USB cable.
    Next, I switched on the printer.
    I am able to print and scan (via USB cable) from;
    SYSTEM PREFERENCES - PRINT & SCAN - select CANON MG3100 series.
    To install applications for printing & scanning, go to http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/8201148300.html
    However, this solved part of the question above, i.e., printing via USB cable (which is not the whole purpose of using the Airprint Printer) but at least it is a start.
    *NOTE: UNINSTALL any prior Canon softwares and drivers specifically installed for this printer first before attempting the steps above as it may interfere with the installation process.
