How to allow domain users to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences

Hi
I am able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences in admin login but not able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domian users login...
can I have a solution to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domin user login

WOW! I was amazed to see that within minutes of posting my initial thread, I tried something that works.
Apparently, the only way is will actually convert is if you select the regular Print option in the File tab. Then, change the Printer to Adobe PDF & the Paper Size to 11x17. It also worked for 36"x48" becuase I created a custom size named "Poster", so I changed the paper size to Poster & it worked!
I hope this helps someone. I searched for an existing forum on this issue off & on for MONTHS before creating this thread. If anyone has any suggestions why the Adobe PDF tab /PDF Maker wouldn't work, I'd like to know.

Acrobat 7, needed with FrameMaker 7: How do I get and install an "Adobe PDF printer instance?"

In FrameMaker, when I try to save a FrameMaker file as a PDF file, I get the following message: "FrameMaker could not find Adobe PDF printer instance, which must be installed to execute "Save as PDF" command". I have a sinking feeling that I deleted that printer instance from my list of printers, thinking I did not need such a printer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FrameMaker 7, Acrobat 7 and Reader 9. All reinstalled successfully, EXCEPT still no Adobe PDF printer instance. Thus my question: how do I get and install that Adobe PDF printer instance?
.( I am using a new computer. I still have my old computer available, with the Adobe PDF printer instance on it. If I could find where in the old machine (Windows XP) the files are for it, I could copy them to the new machine).
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just curious,
What is the new machine's OS (& is it 32-bit or 64-bit)?
Be well...

Adobe PDF Printing Preferences Problem

We have seven Windows 7 64 bit machines with Adobe Pro XI (part of the Technical Communication Suite). On one machine, we are unable to modify the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences Settings for the following two items:
Adobe PDF Security: It is grayed out and we are unable to edit. No selections are available from the dropdown.
Adobe PDF Folder: While not grayed out and we are unable to edit and no selections are available from the dropdown. On all the other computers, this is listed as "Adobe PDF Output:"
What do we need to do on this one computer, so we can edit the two line items?
I removed the printer from the machine, and ran the Repair function from Acrobat. I have changed the Default Settings: section several times. That did not resolve the issue. I suspect it may be a difference in the actual driver. Any suggestions?

Log on as the local Administrator of the machine. This does not mean the network admin account or workgroup admin account. It means the Administrator/Owner of the local machine ( Log in using built in-administrator | Create local administrator account | Windows 7, 8, Vista ) . Are you able to access these features when logged in as the local machine administrator? If yes, then this is an account permissions issue probably correctable. If no, then you have a machine permissions issue, which is more serious.

Adobe PDF printing preferences vanishing

We have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 installed on Windows server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 and Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 is also installed on it.Users work on citrix desktops and use the Adobe printer for converting their orders which would come in their Outlook mail to PDF before dispatching them. For some reasons the printing preferences from the Adobe printer under the printer and faxes are missing. I am attaching the sceen shots. Iam unable to configure the printing preferences as in Pic 1. The only solution we have is to reinstall adobe and it would restore the printing preferences as in Pic 2 but after a day or two it would again be like the one mentioned in PIC 1 .We also have trend micro antivirus installed on the Citrix servers. We want the Adobe printer to retain the settings as in PIC 2. We also tried upgrading the product to version 9 but in vain. I am not sure what is causing this to happen can any body help please....

Your use of Acrobat in this manner violates the Acrobat's License. You should check out the Livecycle products, they are licensed for use on a server to service multiple users.

Adobe PDF Printing Preferences (Version Adobe Acrobat 9)

Is it possible to specify the output PDF filename like "abc.pdf" in Adobe PDF Settings? Thanks you for answer this dummy question.

Bill,
Thank you, I knew there was a place to set the default selections, just hadn’t navigated to the right spot.
But I found it and have it set.
I appreciate your support!

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!

How can I set 'Adobe PDF printer' as one of my printer choices?

I've given it half an hour. Can't seem to figure out how I can set 'Adobe PDF printer' as one of my printer options. I'm not sure if I need to download an Adobe file, and what folder I might need to place it in, and if I also need to add a specific driver.
I'm trying to create a PDF file that printers and outfits like www.lulu.com will accept. Printing an MS Word document via 'Adobe PDF printer' will allow me, I'm told, to produce a suitable PDF file.
Ideally I'm producing the original document in Pages - but I've been told by printers and lulu.com et. al. that no one out there likes PDF's produced by Pages ("not professional").
Any suggestions you might have would be most appreciated...
Ben

I downloaded the Lulu Adobe PDF joboptions file ... but it didn't come with any instructions on how to install or use it. I just have the file. I opened it with a double click and got Adobe Distiller - and I can 'see' what the settings are, but I'd love to understand how to install it so it becomes a selection when I export from Pages.
Forget the Lulu instruction about double click to install. Quit Acobat Distiller and Acrobat Pro. Move the Lulu joboptions file to the Adobe PDF Settings folder. The path to it is:
HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Settings/
or
HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/
You're in the right folder when you see other joboptions files already in the Settings folder.
Next, launch Pages and open your document.
From the File menu, select Page Setup. In that window, select Adobe PDF 7 for "Format for," choose your paper size, orientation and scale % and click OK.
From the File menu, select Print
In the Print window, be sure the Printer is Adobe PDF 7
Click on Layout for a pop down list and select PDF Options
To the right of "Adobe PDF Settings" click for a pop up list and select Lulu
Click Print

How can I change the default page size for the Adobe PDF Printer?

Hello All,
I have cases where I need to switch the default paper size from 8.5x11 to 11x17 via api for the Adobe PDF Printer and have not been able to find how this can be accomplished.
I am using C# .Net and would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

There is no Acrobat API for this, but so far as I know there doesn't need to be. The user can go change this from the Printers Control panel as needed. The Adobe PDF printer has some differences from regular printer drivers, but this isn't one of them.

How to control "Adobe PDF" Printer?

Hello Everyone,
     We have a designed a large crystal report containing around 270 pages with lots of high quality images related to properties available for sale. When we try to export this report to PDF after exporting 20-50 pages (depending on the system resources available) it fails with a out of memory error ( occurs with all PDF printers like PDFCreator, Adobe PDF, etc). This error is due to a limitation of crystal reports to handle a large number of images.
     As a workaround, I tried exporting the pages of a crystal report 1 after another into a temp folder and then merged them together. I could easily do this with PDFCreator. But our client has purchased a ADOBE Acrobat X Pro edition and insists on using the same. By default he has the "Adobe PDF" printer default settings (Adobe PDF->Adobe PDF Settings Tab -> Default Settings combo) set to "Standard" print quality.
     Since I will be printing the crystal report page by page. I provide the user a custom print dialog (c#) to accept the settings he desires. When the client selects the "High Quality Print" job option, I would like to print all 270 pages one after another into a specified folder and then merge them together and provide him a save dialog to move the file to the location he desires. I would then like to revert the "Adobe PDF Printer" back to its old settings.
    Is there any way to achieve this? I have been looking at the ADOBE registry keys using process monitor but somehow it seems that the settings are just getting saved here. Changing the registry keys does not reflect in "Adobe PDF" when I go to the printing preferences.
     Any help will be truly appreciated
From,
Patrick.

Thank you for your suggestions.
@TestScreenName : Yes, I have downloaded the Adobe SDK Library
@Irosenth : Only specific users have permissions to print these large reports and they will do it on their local machines wherein they each have a full version of Adobe Acrobat. I had seen the silent printing option and understand it. I am more concerned however with the following as seen in my original post
" Since I will be printing the crystal report page by page. I provide the user a custom print dialog (c#) to accept the settings he desires. When the client selects the "High Quality Print" job option"
My question here is if the user selects any print settings in the custom dialog where (registry?) & how do I set it so that the Adobe PDF printer detects the option selected. Is there any API provided for the same? After printing all the pages I will have to reverts the settings of the printer.

How can I prevent Adobe PDF printer being set as default on first logon on a computer?

Hi all,
When a computer with either Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Adobe CS6 installed and a user logs on a computer for the first time the computer processes GPO's which define which print queues they are to use.
Unfortunately, once this is done, Adobe PDF Printer configuration kicks off, setting the Adobe PDF Printer as default. This is remedied by logging out and logging back in again, but this is annoying for the users (to say the least).
Since a lot of the users rarely use the same computer on a day to day basis, this is a common occurrence, and I would like to know how I can prevent the Adobe PDF printer from setting itself as default upon configuration.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Hi Cato-L,
Are you trying to do on single machine or multiple machines.
Have you got any solution yet.

How do I install a Adobe pdf printer?

Upgrade from Acrobat Pro X to Pro XI destroyed my prior Adobe pdf printer. How do I reinstall the printer instance without reinstalling Acrobat XI?
I found a reply for an earlier version of Acrobat, but I have no interest in installing the PDF printer into \Desktop or \Documents. Whatever it said to do didn't work and I've received no reply to my question posted on that old thread.
So, how do I recreate the Adobe PDF printer, and, how do I do so while selecting where I want the .pdf files to be located?
Thanks in advance for help

What OS are you running? If it is a version of Windows, is it 32 or 64 bit? Are you using 11.0.0? Did you reboot after the install? If you did not reboot, then do that first. The next step is to run a repair and then do the updates (XI is currently at 11.0.03). Both the Repair and the Updates can be run from the Help menu.

How can i prevent modifing the itemes in Adobe PDF Printer Setting?

I have installed an Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.0 in windows xp.In print dialog,push the Property button,it will appear a dialog of Adobe PDF Setting,one of the setting itemes is "View the Adobe PDF Results",it can be set to view or not view the new created PDF file. I want hold the default setting and prevent modifing it,How can i do? can it be realized by javascript program?Thanks a lot!

Hi,Test Screen Name
Because HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\Ad obe PDF\ is the dir where to set the property of Adobe PDF printer when windows load it , this is experience, no documentation(or i don't find) , perhaps there will be other registry itemes which does not list in that dir ,but i don't know , that is why i think it just like what you have said ' It looks very like a "discovery" rather than a policy ' . For this reason , i want to realize it by adobe acrobat SDK programming ,but now the second way is impossible. Thank you again !

I installed CS6 on Mac Pro (10.9 software version). I don't see the Adobe PDF printer in the printer/fax section. I can not figure how to create the PDF Printer.

I can not figure how to create a Adobe PDF Printer. Normally when you install the package ( CS6 Standard for Mac Pro) the installer creates the PDF printer automatically. In the System Preferences under the Printer/Fax I don't see the PDF printer. How do you create the PDF printer.
Thanks,
Melanie

did you install acrobat x and does it work as expected?
