Missing .pdf print options

Recently installed iWork on Leopard 10.5.1, (cannot install 10.5.2 as I am still dial-up-apparent conflicts yet ti be resolved by Apple). In the process I no longer have the 7 pdf options in the file print menu. I have only mail pdf, save to iphoto, save as pdf-x, and save pdf to mail receipts. As I publish a newsletter I need the "compress .pdf" option back. Any ideas? Worked in Tiger without a hitch.

It appears that they left this feature out of Leopard. However you can download a program off the Apple Website to restore that functionality. Heres the link.

I am missing PDF Printer (PDFMaker), have reinstalled Adobe Professional and even did a repair making sure I added the PDFMaker options - it still will not add the PDF Printer (PDFMaker) option - which is necessar to use with our document comparison softw

Please help me add back the PDF Printer - I am missing the PDF Printer (PDFMaker) and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Professional 10, I have tried repairing it and made sure the options for PDFMaker are selected, to no avail. I need the PDF Printer to use with our document comparison product, using the add printer options and adding the Adobe converters doesn't fix this issue either, it just adds an option to convert documents to PDF to a local folder which doesn't fix the issue.
I have a contract for Adobe Support but cannot reach a technician by 1-800 number, does anyone (1) have a solution to this problem? and (2) a telephone number for which I can call for assistance?
Thanks!

Missing r1800 printer options on intel imac

I am home networking on an Intel OS X 10.5 Leopard imac ,the actual printer is hardwired to a OSX 10.4 machine, now when i try and print from the intel mac some printer driver options are missing, like being able to set printer options etc . even after uninstalling, resetting printer etc.
i'm about to pull my hair out !!!!!!!

Root Account - No 'save as pdf' print option

The root account doesn't have the print option to 'save as PDF'. My other user accounts do have that option.
Any suggestions on how to enable the 'save as PDF' option for an account or if something special is needed for the root account?
-tjw

I log in as root because I don't like having to fiddle with permissions. For example I installed wireshark and it wasn't allowed to capture packets from the network interface because it needed special permissions. Even though the account I was using was a sys admin account I still needed log in as root; change permissions somewhere.
I decided that I would just log in as root. Yeah yeah its so very dangerous...no its not.
But; now that there are these little goofy things like so 'save as pdf' button forcing me to click 5 times to to the save as a pdf option under the preview button I may go back to a vanilla sys admin account.

Why does Adobe keep releasing updates for Acrobat that make the PDF print option diasappear?

I am really disappointed that after installing an update to Acrobat 9 my PDF printer has disappeared from my printer list.
This is the second time this has happened. The last time this happened Adobe were still supporting Acrobat 9 and they ended up having to remote in to my machine to fix it.
Now I have to pay if i want that level of support!!! It begs the question why they release these destructive updates. Is it to force people to upgrade to X or purchase support.
Can anybody give me some instructions on how to manually install the PDF printer?
I am running windows 7

Launch the Devices and printers setup utility through the Control Panel.
2Select the \"Add a Printer\" option.
3Click the \"Next\" button and select the \"Local Printer Attached to This Computer\" option.
4Deselect (uncheck the box) the \"Automatically Detect and Install My Plug and Play Printer\" option and click the \"Next\" button.
5Select \"My Documents\\*.pdf (Adobe PDF)\" in the port selection drop-down menu and click the \"Next\" button.
6Select the \"Have Disk\" option and click the \"Browse\" button to open a dialog box.
7Select the \"AdobePDF.inf\" file located in the AdobePDF folder in your Program Files directory under \"Adobe,\" \"Acrobat 9.0,\" \"Acrobat,\" \"Xtras.\"
8Select the first item (top item) on the list of Adobe PDF Converter options and click the \"Next\" button.
9Type \"Adobe PDF\" in the field for a printer name and click \"Next.\"

Adobe CS3 missing PDF printer?

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Leopard (via an erase and install) and loaded a student package of CS3 to my Powerbook G4. Everything seems to work great, except that I'm now unable to print to PDF from any Adobe program (particularly InDesign and Illustrator). I'm still able to export to PDF, but I'm not able to go to print, select Adobe PDF as my printer, and save as PDF from there as I could in CS2. The only printer that shows up in the print dialog is the PostScript, and the "Page Setup" and "Printers" buttons are grayed out. In non-Adobe programs (like MS Word), I am still able to save to PDF.
Any ideas? I realize this is more of an Adobe question than a Mac question, but I couldn't make much sense of the Adobe website, and people here are always helpful.
Thanks!
Adam

Have you tried launching Acrobat and going to Help > Repair Acrobat Installation? This should install the Adobe PDF 8.0 Printer. Please note that this PDF Printer still works with PPC Macs, but not with Intel versions until Adobe produce the update, which is scheduled for later this month (January 2008).

Missing borderless print option on Epson 2200 since Leopard upgrade

Since upgrading to Leopard, I no longer fine an Epson borderless print option when I go to select printers. I have an Epson 2200 and am using with Photoshop CS. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Are you using the Epson driver, as opposed to the Gutenprint driver? I am using the Epson SP 2200 driver on 10.5.3 and can see and print with the borderless options in Photoshop. In the Print Dialog in the Paper Size menu, I see the following:
US Letter
US Letter (Standard - Minimize Margins)
US Letter (Sheet Feeder - Borderless)
US Letter (Roll Paper)
US Letter (Roll Paper - Borderless)
Hope this helps.

Missing full print options

I am used to seeing lots of print options; colour or b/w, draft or high resolution, which pages to print etc. I am not able to see all these options. What do I need to do to fix this? thanks for your help
Mac OS X v10.5

There should be a blue button with either an upward- or downward-pointing triangle to the right of the printer name. If it's up, click it, and it should point down, and reveal the rest of your printer options.
Occasionally, I do run across an app that only offers a 'page print' setting, although at the moment, none of them come to mind.

Adobe PDF Printer Options missing (OS X 10.5.4 & Acrobat 8.1.2)

Hello,
I recently upgraded to 10.5.4 and my PDF options when printing to a PDF via Adobe PDF are no longer available (ie. selecting the PDF creation type). Is this yet another bug with OS X & Adobe?
Regards,
Kristin.

Yep, that fixed it. Repairing Acrobat Installation didn't work on its own though I had to manually remove the PPD from all the affected machines and then re-run the repair.

Why won't the Mail PDF print option work anymore?

I have been trying to mail PDF files, but when I select that option from the PDF drop-down menu in the print dialog box, nothing happens. Can anyone help?
Jon

No, no Adobe Reader here.
I did find an interesting workaround:
Make an alias to the Mail application
Put the alias in ~/Library/PDF Services
Give it a catchy name
It then shows up in the print dialog's PDF menu (along with the "Mail PDF" workflow) and performs essentially the same function, but without the annoying fail. A side effect (a bonus to me, for arcane reasons) is that the mail message defaults to plain text -- the standard workflow creates a rich text document.

PDF Printer went missing after clean OSX install

Hey,
In Adobe Illustrator - I used to have a choice of printers between my Epson and printing to a PDF.
I had to reinstall Mac OSX 10.5.5 (Leopard) and now don't have the PDF printer option.
I found the FAQ regarding precious versions of OSX - but neither solution worked.
I was using the PDF printer fine before my re-install, now it's just missing.
Where can I find it?
Thanks!

One last thing. After reinstalling the CS 3 suite, you need to run the
updater to fix compatibility issues with 10.5. You may need to run the
updater several times.

PDF Printer not working in Adobe XI

The PDF Printer option is not working in Adobe XI. We are using Windows 8. When I open the printer box and select Adobe PDF, I get an error message stating "The server threw an exception." The "Save as PDF" and "Convert to PDF" options work but those options are not always available.

A server exception would suggest you are using Acrobat in the cloud. I don't have an answer in that case other than trying later. Is the Adobe PDF printer indeed installed on your machine or in the cloud?

Duplex Printing options in Livecycle Designer ES

Hi all,
I am new to using Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 8.2.
Issues 1:
What are options available to print “Duplex Flip Long Edge” and “Duplex Flip Short Edge”.
I have tried the following options
File + Form Properties + PDF print options + “Selected Duplex Flip Short Edge. It has worked fine if I print from Designer itself to the particular printer.
Through the program I have created XDP to PS file. It won’t print in “Duplex Short Edge option”.
It has always printed in “Duplex Flip Long Edge”.
Any one can help me… Thanks in advance….
Regards,
Jayakumar S

Hello all
The problem is still actual. There are some ideas on this forum about solution for LiveCycle Desginer 6.x and 7.x via JavaScript and via settings (Form Properties->PDF print options). The both don't work in LiveCycle Designer 8.2. Is it a bug of 8.2 version?
I have noticed that property <pagination> in XML source has always value duplexLongEdge. It doesn't depend on value you entered in Form Properties->PDF print options. May be it's a reason? However I cannot change this value to duplexShortEdge.

Andrey

Desktop PDF printer in online trial version?

The Create Adobe PDF Online signup page says you can add a desktop PDF printer option with the subscription to online PDF creation. Does this option work with the trial version? If so, how?

Hi there,
Thanks for your post. Acrobat.com allows you to convert multiple files to PDF online, but unfortunately does not include a corollary desktop feature. We hope to see this feature in a future release, but for now Acrobat desktop software is the thing to use for desktop PDF creation.
Thanks again! Take care.
Rebecca
