How to reinstall PDF Printer in Print & Scan window on OSX 10.8.2

Hello,
I was having issues where PDF's were not saving when I was printing them, so I thought that if I deleted the PDF printer from my list of printers and reinstalled it, my problem would be solved. Now I can't figure out how to reinstall (add) the PDF printer back into this window. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat, and I have been searching the web for about an hour.
I am running OSX 10.8.2
I have Adobe Creative Cloud installed
I am on an iMac 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7
32 GB of RAM
Thanks for any help you have.

SGD 4.6 - PDF Printing on Windows Clients not working

Dear all
Installed SGD 4.6 with Win2008 Terminal Server.
PDF printing works from Mac clients, but not from Windows XP.
Is this a known issue?
kind regards
Werner

Please be aware of the following:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19351-01/E23103-01/cjbchfdj.html#z40000061595090
New Default PDF Printer Driver for Windows Applications
The default printer driver used for Portable Document Format (PDF) printing from Windows application servers is now HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS. This change was made to provide support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 application servers.
In previous releases, the default PDF printer driver was HP Color LaserJet 8500 PS. If you are upgrading from an installation that uses this printer driver, SGD is reconfigured automatically to use the new default printer driver. If you are upgrading from an installation where you have configured SGD to use a different printer driver, your existing configuration is preserved on upgrade. If you are using using Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, or Windows XP application servers, the new default printer driver results in the PDF printer not being mapped.

Acrobat 8 Professional: reinstalling PDF printer

I've been having trouble using "Save as PDF" in Framemaker 8 on my newly installed Windows 7/64 system.
Something somewhere told me to delete the Adobe PDF printer and run a rebuild.
I'm now unable to recreate a working instance of Adobe PDF printer, but I cannot set it up properly.
I'm able to Create a printer called "Adobe PDF"
In Printer Properties, Ports Tab, I can add a Port but only have 2 choices: Local Port and Standard TCP/IP. If I select new Port Type, it asks for the printer INF information. This is where it is: "c:\apps\adobe\cs3 web premium\acrobat 8.0\acrobat\xtras\adobepdf\adobepdf.inf". However, the clicking OK produces 3 instances of "An error occurred installing port monitor 'Adobe PDF Port'. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance.
Any ideas how to reinstall the Adobe PDF printer?
Thanks in advance.

You will simply have to do the updates of AA8. I think it was version 8.1 for XP. I have no idea if it will work with Win7 X64 or not. The updates or under the help menu. If you cannot get there, go to the Adobe downloads>updates (upper right of screen) and find the Win Acrobat updates. You need to install them in order after the version you have. If you don't know about updates, then you likely have 8.0.

Reinstall PDF Print Driver in Mac OS X 10.6.2

I just noticed that my PDF print function no longer works. I believe it happened after I installed Snow Leopard. I reset all my printers and now I need to reinstall it. How do I go about doing that? I have Adobe CS4 which includes Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
Thanks,
Grant

I am also having the same problem here. We recently upgraded from CS 3 to CS 5.5 and now we cannot print to pdf anymore. We are a small printshop and exporting to PDF is fine when we are creating PDF proofs for customers, however, when printing the jobs on our press you need a PDF with separations and the only way to print color separations is through the "Print to PDF" option. You do not have the separations option when exporting to PDF. Is there a different way of selecting separations now or are we just screwed? Seems like Adobe really dropped the ball on this one and I hope they come up with a fix for this VERY SOON! Right now this problem is costing us lots of money.

How to restrict pdf printing on a condition

Hello,
We generate the pdf and distribute it to the user immediately. I've a business requirement to allow the user to print the pdf a maximum of 3 times. I was able to add the javascript to the pdf to make a webservice call that would keep a track of prints(by getting the pdf blessed by the livecycle readerextensions). Now, I've two questions :
1.How can I disable printing on the pdf document when max number of reprints is reached?
2.The pdf throws security warning when it makes the webservice call. Is there anyway to supress it?
Thanks in advance for the responses.
Feroz.

How to install PDF printer to Adobe Reader?

I've created a form that will be sent to my colleagues to fill out. Once they fill it out, they will need to save the form as a read-only pdf and send it to our clients.
I understand, after reading a lots of threads in this forum, the best way would be to have my colleagues to open the form(s) in Acrobat and then print to a PDF. This will allow them to create a static copy of the form, which will not have any fields or access to change the data. My question is if this is possible for them as they have Adobe Reader 8, 9 & X? If yes, how do they install the PDF printer?
/Sally

Ok....any other suggestions how I can make this work? I need to create the form as an open document for my colleagues to fill it in with information then send it as a read-only pdf to our clients......

How do install pdf printer?

I cannot follow the instructions to install a pdf printer because there is no printer download setup feature available on the adobe.com web site.

Hi belliotriehm,
Are you on Mac OS or Windows? The Adobe PDF Desktop Printer is only available on Windows.
If you are on Windows, you can find the link to download by logging on the https://cloud.acrobat.com, and clicking the Create PDF link.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Acrobat 8 PDF printing with Windows 8.1/MS office 2013

I upgraded computer to Windows 8.1 and MS office professional 2013 and reinstalled adobe acrobat 8.
When I try to create pdf files from office 2013 document (Excel, Word, Publisher), computer freezes when window opens to select pfd document destination.
I tried opening office document in acrobat and try to create pdf file. I get pdf maker missing at this point.
Before updating computer I ran compatibility tool and it indicated my acrobat 8.3.1 was compatible with Windows 8.1; however noted that I needed to go to adobe website for help with adobe ExtendScript toolkit 2. I don’t know what adobe ExtendScript toolkit 2 is and if it is associated with Adobe Acrobat or CS3.

I have no idea about the extend tool. You need to update to the latest version of AA 8, but it appears you are there with 8.3.1. You should print to the Adobe PDF printer. OFFICE 2013 is not compatible with the AA8 PDF Maker. So far I have only seen one person suggesting success with AA8 and Win8.1. If you can give details about your problem, we might be able to help, but you may not be successful. Only time and trial will tell.

Problem installing PDF printer on Windows 7

I'm trying to install the PDF printer on my computer using the CS3 disk and it's not working. Any ideas?

As far as I know you have to install Acrobat at activate it. You might ask in the CS forum.

Cannot print to PDF Printer in Windows server 2003 x64 (Adobe 9 STD)

Hi everyone,
I'm running into a very odd issue. We are using Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 in our environment. Recently, I install the x64 bit version of Citrix on top of Windows Server 2003 x64.
The problem that we are experience right now is that when user open a WORD or EXCEL document and try to print to PDF. The SAVE AS windows shows up to allow users to save, but nothing happens afterward. In another word, no PDF file is created.
However, if I ask the user to right click on the file (in windows explorer) and choose Convert to PDF, then the conversion go through.
Do you know a fix for this?

You might read the EULA and confirm the issue I have mentioned. I might not be correct in my estimate, but just gave a sounds like opinion. If it is a violation, then removing it is wise. Typically, Acrobat must be installed on each individual machine. There are multiple license options and server options, but you would need to contact Adobe for more information on those areas. Hope you can get them to talk to you in such a case.

CUPS PDF PRINTING IN WINDOWS OVER REMOTE DESKTOP - PRINTER NOT LISTED

I am running OS X 10.6.2. I connect remotely using windows remote desktop / terminal services to various windows machines. For the XP and Windows 2003 Server 32 bit systems I have no problems with printing pdf documents from the remote windows system back to my mac using CUPS PDF. I don't have to install anything on the remote windows computer. However, for Windows 2003 Server 64 bit and Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, the CUPS PDF printer does not appear in the printer list. I tried installing the Laserwriter 8500 print driver (which apparently CUPS uses) and attaching to a unused TS printing port. The printer appears in the list but it won't print, and it's obviously not attaching to my computer.
I can't upgrade my mac operating system until I resolve a keyboard driver issue with 10.6.3 and above. Any suggestions?

I am having a similar issue. I'm using Remote Desktop to connect to a 2008 R2 server and am trying to use PDFWriter as a redirected printer to create a PDF. It is only working after I check print to file, save the file (which it creates an XPS file that is not compatible), then I uncheck print to file, click print, and then it creates the pdf file I need.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Basically - I need to have a "PDF" printer because the print window is on the remote server and it doesn't have the save as pdf option.
Thanks.
Phillip
