Missing text after Adobe PDF printing

I have put together a word 7 document with pictures then on top of the picture I have put a "call out" box with text in. After the PDF has printed and the  review of the document pops up on screen, less than half of the text is shown in the call out box and in some instances the box is blank. Its a report that has to be completed by Tuesday so your assistance would be appreciated

General Acrobat Problem Steps
If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
Apply all updates IN NUMBER ORDER
Acrobat Update http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
Also, for Office 2007, see if this Microsoft product will work for you

    This fix worked on Windows Vista Business Edition (32-Bit).

    I have windows XP media center. I uninstalled Acrobat 8 to download Acr 9 pro extended. No adobe printer was installed .
    Tried the steps given here by Steve Lionel. I was able to add the "Adobe PDF Converter" as printer. Although after the 7th step in Steve's fix, the wizard asked me to search for some files (from XP CDrom) which I was able to locate in the Windows folder-drivers folder and the system32-spool folder.
    I went to acrobat,opened a pdf file and tried to print with this printer and saved it on the desktop. A file appears, but adobe cannot open it however it activates adobe illustrator and opens in that program.
    Lots of time has gone. No solution yet.
    Appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks
    Update!!!
    I tried printing on this printer from a webpage and it converted the webpage like charm.
    I am more than happy even if I get to use this printer to convert webpages to pdf as now I don't have to install those shady pdf converters and printer drivers.
    This is good as the fix given here works even for XP.
    Thanks for this wonderful solution.

  • Cannot print to Adobe PDF printer from Word after upgrading to Win 7 64bit

    Hi. After upgrading my operating system from Windows XP to Windows 7 64 bit, I can no longer print to the Adobe PDF printer (e.g. from Word). It just sits in the Adobe PDF printer queue saying "Error" without bringing up the "Save As" dialog box, and nothing happens. I am running Adobe Acrobat 8.0.0 (I've checked for updates but it says none are available). I have tried doing a repair installation following the instructions on this website (http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-file-adobepdf-dll-needed.html) but to no avail.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    I think it's time to upgrade. 64-bit systems weren't much in use at the time of Acrobat 8.0.

  • Adobe PDF Printer disappearing after 9.4.2 update

    A few hours ago I updated Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to 9.4.2, supposedly coming from 9.4.1.
    Since then the Adobe PDF Printer is no longer available among my printer options. That is for all applications: Adobe Acrobat, InDesign, Preview or ArchiCAD 14.
    It seems there's a similar issue with the 9.4.2 Windows upgrade (see Acrobat Windows forums). What now? Deinstall Acrobat? Or how do I revert to a older version?!
    MacBookPro 2009 (5,3), Mac OS X.6.6.

    Ditto...
    This is a whole lot of pain  unfortunately. I am sitting here lamenting why oh why did I upgrade?? But then it can only improve right? Whats the harm? Surely this will make things better? After all, it didn't really point out that the Acrobat Printer would no longer be available. I will never again do an upgrade on Acrobat as it has done this  to me before previously and it was a pain to sort out!
    Graphics users need the Adobe Acrobat PS Printer as without this we are  not able to set document parametres for print iro commercial printing.  Crop marks, page size, reg marks etc. Which can only be accessed via the  software once the Acrobat PS Printer output option has been selected.
    Simply selecting create Postscript file or PDF.... has none of those  attributes and is probably less useful than a chocolate teapot.  certainly not a "Pro" - "Professional" option, but rather meant for the  masses who have basic Acrobat requirements.
    I don't really care to get into the realms as to who did what and  whether it was Apples security option or Adobe's upgarde. This outcome  is going to upset a lot of graphics users who have paid good money for  this package as it was originally intended (for the professional with  professional requirements ie PS options) and I for one am annoyed at  software companies changing the rules as time goes on. Its the consumer  that keeps being inconvenienced all the time.
    If memory recalls, we have to totally uninstall and reload. But  theres a catch there somewhere if I remember correctly as the  uninstaller does not recognize certain files and if you apply the  reinstall using the older version of Acrobat, residual files from the  newer version create issues. Something like that. Not sure that makes sense to me either. But I remember theres a curve ball there somewhere...
    Going to be a long night!
    Rule for the future. Don't upgrade.

  • Windows 8.1 Adobe CS6 Adobe PDF printer broken after sysprep

    Windows 8.1 enterprise 64 bit with CU1 installed. Ran sysprep priror to install. Installed Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6 & Premiere Pro CS6. The Adobe PDF printer is working with UAC enabled threw all PC accounts. Ran sysprep (standard generalize, skip rearm, & skip all win 8.1 questions) with UAC disabled since bat files will not run with UAC enabled. After UAC is enabled you can't print using the Adobe PDF printer unless running from Administrator account or by disabling UAC. We also have Adobe CC except the instructor is currently teaching CS6 suites. I tested acrobat 10.0.0 & 10.11.1 same problem after sysprep.

    Have you tried running Process Monitor to see where the permissions problems are occurring?

  • Adobe PDF Printer Gone Missing?

    Upgraded to OS X 10.5.8
    Since then, I cannot create a pdf out of a Word document. I get the message that "PDFMaker could not locate the Adobe PDF printer. Please install the printer on this machine."
    No help at the Adobe website. I thought this might be a common syndrome with the Mac updates. Can anyone help me locate that missing printer, please?
    Thanks.

    For some reason, though, it won't create PDFs if I just click that "create PDF" or "create PDF and email it" button on the menu. It gets hung up along the way to creating the document.
    Since you upgraded the OS, if you have not already done so, try Repair Disk Permissions using Disk Utility and then reboot. (Personally, I do not use PDFMaker for MS Office, so my suggestion is not foolproof.)

  • Adobe PDF Printer is no longer available after an update

    To better understand the steps that have lead to this:
    I tried to print a corrupt PDF to a smaller page size (didn't know it was corrupt until then). After quite a while Acrobat crashed with an unknown exception. From this point on Adobe PDF never asked for a file destination again and did not create any more PDFs through the Adobe PDF Printer.
    I uninstalled the Printer and re-installed. Nothing changed: No destination file dialogue, no PDF created. So I uninstalled it again, and also uninstalled Acrobat. Re-installing from the Master Collection DVD didn't work (installing took about 3h and then simply cancelled), so I re-installed the whole Master Collection.
    Adobe PDF printer was gone. And only seen when I again re-installed but did NOT update all the programs.
    Now I have updated the Master Collection again, and the Adobe PDF printer is gone. And nowhere to be found again... anyone knows what could have happened?
    Oh, I'm running Snow Leopard of course...

    the problem is that save as Adobe PDF does not work from the printing dialog ( Saving a PDF file while printing is not supported. Please choose "File" > "Save as".).
    There's also the problem that by saving as Adobe PDF, I cannot choose the output size of the file if I'd want to rescale a PDF (for publishing purposes). Is there any way to work this around?

  • Adobe PDF printer and "Start printing after last page is spooled"

    Hi,
    After calling the Belgian Support for Adobe Product, I'm trying to have some information here.
    Hope to get some help.
    We use acrobat pro XI on windows 7 client and when we print a test page with the "adobe pdf" print queue on network share, we get a printing error when the "start printing after last page is spooled" is selected in the advanced tab of the printer queue. (document is not generated, and stay in the spooler with an error).
    This problem is not present if printed localy or when we use the "start printing immediately" or "print directly to the printer".
    The support agent from adobe Belgium told me that the reason is generating adobe pdf on network share is not a supported operation. We have to save the document localy all the time.
    Is it really an answer from Adobe ?
    Do you have an other explanation ?
    Thanks for your help,

    Thanks for your very good explanation Dov.
    We use Adobe livecycle for this kind of purpose.
    The situation described is diffrent, but you completely repond and I will be able to have some element to find a solution.
    In fact, I'm implementing a softwate called DeviceLock, used to control connected devices (usb, network, drive). But this software, once installed, change the local printer parameters from "print directly to the printer" to ""start printing after last page is spooled".
    As we use redirected folder in our environment and users cannot use local drive (for user's data backup) you will understand the problem.
    Of course, we should be able to force the correct settings back, But Devicelock seem to change this settings after policy refresh.
    I have contact with Devicelock about this problem of course as their software modify the settings, but was looking for a reason why we were not able to use the "start printing after last page is spooled" parameters with adobe Printer.
    Thanks for your explanation,
    PS:The driver's dialog won't prevent you from setting “Start printing after last page is spooled” or “Print directly to the printer” but setting either of those options will cause the operations to fail as you note.
    note that only "Start printing after last page is spooled" cause an error and this, only for network share location. The "print directly to the printer" or the "start printing immediately" work fine either on a local drive and a network share

  • Adobe Pdf Printer stopped working after update to Acrobat DC

    Hello, I have installed Acrobat DC yesterday. Since then, Adobe Pdf Printer stopped working. It always gets stuck at Checking Fonts and any software the print originated from just hangs and I have to force it closed.
    I tried uninstalling the printer and installing it manually, repairing Acrobat installation but nothing changed.
    So, can somebody help me? Thanks.

    A method which is written here not working - because if you start to remove the fonts one by other you will see that the list does not end there.
    I did so
    1. i copied the folder with the fonts from the other clean system and replace with fonts in my system
    2. then i restore the registry tree HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
    3. i check system with sfc /scannow
    after these procedures Distiller DC continue to crash...
    In this time distiller crashed when it cheking their fonts in C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Resources\Font
    after i rename the folder from Font to Font_ in order to he did not check this folder
    at next run Distiller crashed at the font wingding.ttf after remowing that font he crash at Vrinda.ttf (this is a oficial font of Win7 and come with him) after removing that font distiller crash at the next font name of Vani.ttf (this is a Win7 font too) - when i saw it goes on forever i back my system to normal status and uninstal Acrobat DC and back to Acrobat XI...this version work with out any problems.
    We are waiting a hotfix to resolving this problem with Acrobat DC

  • Adobe PDF Printer No Longer Available After Acrobat X Install

    I've been using Acrobat 8 Pro for several years. To generate PDFs, I use the Adobe PDF printer (through FrameMaker). I recently installed Acrobat X Pro. Now there's no Adobe PDF printer. Save as PDF doesn't work (no PDF generated). I need to get the Adobe PDF printer back but cannot find any information about how to install it. All the Acrobat Distiller help has to say is that you should use the Adobe PDF printer. Not helpful at all.

    Good day,
    I'd like to see if I can help you.

    Then I cant do the one thing that it should do from the get go, create a PDF!
    Did the Adobe PDF Printer install with your trial? 
    What application did you author the file in that you'd like to convert to PDF?
    Did you print your file from that application to the Adobe PDF Printer?
    And to correct and continue to evaluate the "TRIAL" version I must delete the working version of software so that the "TRIAL" Version will be able to create a PDF!!!!(30 Min)
    And if I don't like the "TRIAL" version I have to Reinstall the Original.
    (30 Min)
    Do you mean that you had a previous version of Acrobat (such as Adobe Acrobat 8 or 9) installed?
    If so, this is not surprising as we do not support multiple versions of Acrobat installed on the same computer.

  • Trying to reinstall using "setup.exe" in fixing 64-bit Adobe PDF printing error...?

    Greetings.  I found the following solution to my problem in the Adobe forums:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-file-adobepdf-dll-needed.html
    The text is:
    Manually extract the file "adobepdf.dll_64" from the data1.cab file before installing Acrobat. When the prompt appears, navigate to this file and select it.
    Navigate to the folder that contains the setup.exe file for your Acrobat 8 installation.
    Locate the file "data1.cab" and open it (you sometimes need a  third-party compression utility, such as WinZip, to extract the file).
    Inside the content listings, locate the file "adobepdf.dll_64" and copy it to your desktop.
    Run the installer setup.exe and when the prompt appears, choose browse and select the file you copied to the desktop.
    Incredibly, my problem starts at #4.  How do I run the installer program?  I found both the command prompt and the run functionality on the start menu (yes, Windows 8, KMN).  Couldn't get either of them to run the installer, and I cannot seem to find the correct .exe file in the directory.  Any help is much appreciated, thank you!

    The problem may be related to trying to install AA8 on Win8. You may or may not be successful, or at least fully successful. The first thing after completing the install is to open Acrobat and go to the Help>Updates and install all updates (in order if more than one appears, and repeating until no updates are shown). You can also install the updates manually in order using http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.
    There is a good chance with AA8 that the print driver will not install. If that is the case, find a nice PS color print driver for an HP or other PS printer. Install that and change the name to Adobe PDF printer. Check the ports -- if an Adobe PDF port is present, select that and if not change the port to FILE.
    You should be able to print to the new PDF printer to obtain a PS file. Open that file (the extension may be PRN) in Distiller to obtain a PDF.
    The alternative is to buy the newest version of Acrobat (XI).

  • 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!

  • Printing from Appleworks using Adobe PDF Printer

    I have a large number of Appleworks files to convert to PDF. At the moment, I open the file, do a command-p, choose PDF, then "Save as PDF". This method works fine. I would like, however, to automate the process, and doing so would be much easier if the Adobe PDF Printer would print with the expected settings when I click the "Print" button. Is there any way to make this happen? It seems strange that it is not the default behavior, considering the fact that the PDF printer is only a virtual printer, and would never be used to print to paper.
    Peter

    I have a g5 running Tiger. I updated my profile after posting my original question.
    The "Save as PDF..." button works, but not the button on the right that says "Print". It is important to me to be able to use that button, because it forces the application to print to the Adobe PDF virtual printer.

  • How do I deal with "Acces Denied" error when trying to print to Adobe PDF printer driver

    Windows 7 64 bit OS (updated)
    Adobe Acrobat XI (11.0.06.70)
    I am unable to create a PDF file from within the Windows 7 print dialog.  Each time, I receive a terse "Access Denied" error followed by the display below (the progress bar never advances).  I thought upgrading to Adobe Acrobat XI might fix this but no such luck.  It seems that others have experienced similar issues.  I noticed in the display below that Adobe is trying to create the file in a folder which does not exist (at least I can't see it even after setting my preferences to display hidden files).  I have the hope that, if the folder were present and accessible, Adobe would create the file without trouble.  Is there a way to instruct Adobe Acrobat XI to create this temporary file in a different location?  One of my frustrations is that I used to be able to print Adobe Acrobat files without trouble on the same computer.  I wonder whether the use of a registry cleaner may have contributed to my problem.
    What are the best practices for addressing the Access Denied and inability to print problems I've encountered?
    Thanks for any help you can provide in sorting out this problem. 
    Best,
    Matt

    I have been having the exact same problem with Adobe Acrobat X.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times and applied all the latest updates.  Every time I try to print ANTHING to the Adobe PDF print driver, the software hangs (MS Office, webpage, or other programs).  When I finally kill the process using Task Manager, I find the little "Access Denied" box.  This has been happening for nearly one year.  I have limped along since I have other computers to use.   I have attempted to find answers on this forum in the past, and no one seems to have a clear answer to the problem.
    I, too, was tempted to upgrade to XI, but Matt's post settled the matter, since it did not help him.
    I am using Win 7 Home (64 bit) and until this issue started, I have had no problem with AA X.
    Where are the Adobe experts when you need them?  Please help us.
