Print to adobe pdf disappeared from quickbooks print menu

For some reason when I try to print from quickbooks 2010 or my internet browser (firefox) I no longer see adobe pdf as an option. It used to be there. I have Acrobat Pro 9. Help!

You can try to repair the installation from under the help menu in Acrobat.

After installing an update to Acrobat on my Windows computer, the option to print to .pdf disappears from my printer options menu in all programs. What can I do?

This is the second time I updated my Adobe Acrobat X Pro program and the option to "Print to .pdf" disappears from my word processing program and all other programs I am running. Last time I uninstalled Acrobat and reinstalled and that fixed the problem, but that was a long process. Is there any other way to restore the option?

Do you mean there is no Adobe PDF printer listed? You can check the Start>Devices & Printers list and be sure it appears there.

I can't print a Adobe PDF file from the browser. Ignores print command.

Nothing happens when trying to print PDF from browser. Print box doesn't pop up and does not go to Printer queue.

None of the above solutions worked for me. I have Firefox 10.0.1 and Adobe Reader 9.5.0, and a pdf file would not print either from the Adobe print button or CTRL-P or the Firefox File, Print command. Firefox Print Preview just shows a blank screen. If I save the pdf file it prints OK from Adobe Reader.

Printing to Adobe PDF repeatedly from Excel macro causes Adobe PDF to ignore preferences

I have an Excel macro that uses Acrobat's virtual "Adobe PDF" printer to save each sheet of an Excel spreadsheet to a separate PDF file. To do this, I have set up the PDF printer to save automatically to the folder C:\PDF without prompting and not to open each PDF file after it is created. These preferences are respected when the macro prints the first sheet, but when it prints the second and third sheets, the PDF printer starts displaying its "Save As" dialog again and opening each PDF file after it is created. When I go back to the printer preferences after the macro finishes, the preferences that I set are still there, and if I run the macro again I get exactly the same behavior. This behavior is problematic because the macro expects each PDF file to be saved to a predictable location so that it can rename them. Side note: this print-then-rename technique works fine when I use the open source PDFCreator program instead of Acrobat. (Hello, Adobe?)

Use the settings in the Acrobat Distiller API Reference. You can find this document in the Acrobat SDK.

Printing to Adobe PDF Printer

I have Acrobat X Standard, but dowloaded XI Pro for 30-day trial. After the download, Adobe PDF Printer disappeared from my printer options.

That shouldn't even be possible: Standard and Pro are mutually exclusive. Not surprised it has broken.
My recommendation
a. Make sure you have your Standard serial numbers and install media.
b. Uninstall the one you don't want at the moment.
c. REPAIR the one you do want.

Internet Explorer 9 Printing to Adobe PDF Printer

Missing Some Document Folders in Windows 7 Professional w/ Internet Explorer 9 Printing to Adobe PDF Printer.
Document Library contains 81 folders.
With Internet Explorer 9 running – when I print to Adobe PDF Printer and try to locate a specific Document Library folder - 9 of the 81 folders are missing.
From Internet Explorer 9 – I locate a word or PDF document that I need to print to Adobe PDF Printer - This is the procedure that I follow:
Print
Select Printer
Adobe PDF
Libraries
Documents
My Documents - where 9 of the 81 folders are missing
Additional Information . . .
When I right click on a screen object in IE9 and select "Save As" I am able to locate and access all 81 folders.
With the same task and procedure from Microsoft Chrome – all 81 folders are shown and accessible.
Any help or pointing in the right direction greatly appreciated.

That shouldn't even be possible: Standard and Pro are mutually exclusive. Not surprised it has broken.
My recommendation
a. Make sure you have your Standard serial numbers and install media.

Acrobat X Pro: Word 2003 Hangs Up When I Print to Adobe PDF

I have to print to Adobe PDF a LOT. Recently, I have been unable to do so from Word 2003. Whenever I go to print, it says "Word is preparing to background print your document" and freezes. I have experimented with turning background printing off, but that doesn't seemt o help. Help please!

You might also play with the printer spooling. Just change it to the opposite of what is currently set and see if that resolves the issue. You might also try to print to file with the Adobe PDF printer and then opening the file in Distiller to complete the process (the file will be a PS file, possibly with a PRN extension). If the latter works, you at least have a workaround for now.
You might also go to Help>Repair and see if that resolves the issue. I would also recommend the updates with Help>Updates.

Printing to Adobe PDF Changes Checkbox Selection in Document

Hi,
We have a PDF that we got from a client from their financial institution. One page has sets of checkboxes on it.
If we do File - Save As and save it as another PDF, the checkboxes stay as is.
If we print the file to our digital copier, the checkboxes stay as is.
However, if we print the PDF to the Adobe PDF print driver, the values of the checkboxes change.
Before print to Adobe PDF:
Yes
Yes
<no response>
After print to Adobe PDF:
No
No
Yes and No
It's as if the printed copy gets the photo negative values of the checkboxes that were actually checked on the original.
I've tried all of the different options in the Adobe PDF printer preferences, like unchecking "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" as well as all of the "Comments and Markup" dropdown box settings and the Page Sizing options doesn't seem to matter either.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? I've tried it on both Acrobat Standard 11.0.0 and 10.1.6
Thanks in advance,
John

Is the ESR version of Mozilla Firefox? If not, then try that version to see if the issue persists.
BTW the ESR version of Mozilla Firefox IS the supported version of Mozilla Firefox.

FrameMaker hangs and can't print to Adobe PDF

FrameMaker has been hanging and blowing up on me. Specifically, it hangs when I try to save all the chapters in a book. Some of these books are very small, maybe 20 or 30 pages. After I stop Frame thru Task Manager and reboot, I can reopen the book and my changes appear to be there. I looked through the forum and saw something that said it might be because the PC doesn't have enough memory. It has 3.5 GB RAM. Isn't that enough?
Also, when I print (to my default printer = Adobe PDF), if I unselect "print to file," nothing happens - no Distiller window opens - I don't see any new files generated. I can "save as PDF" just fine. I can "print to Adobe PDF" from other apps, just not from Frame. I can "print to file" and then open the resulting .ps; then Distiller opens and creates the PDF file. This is annoying - it used to automatically launch Distiller and create the PDF in one step instead of two.
I'm putting both this issues in a single topic because they both started at about the same time.
I tried re-installing Frame and Acrobat, but I didn't uninstall first.
I'm using Windows XP Pro and Frame 8.0p277.
So where do I go from here?
Thanks

Yes, the location for the Adope PDF printer had garbage in it. I fixed that. That has now fixed the problem.
However, Art's reply gave me an idea. I am using FrameMaker 8.0p277 (the version that came with Tech Comm Suite). Also, Acrobat 8 3D came with it.
Since then, however, I have installed Acrobat 9 Pro (which also provided Distiller 9).
Could it be that FrameMaker is trying to call Distiller 8, which no longer exists on my computer)?
Answering prev questions:
"So if you uncheck Print To File so the distiller generates the PS file and distills it automatically, nothing happens, right? It just sits there?
and
Have you tried selecting a different Job Option, like Standard, or High Quality?"
Yes, if I uncheck Print to File, nothing happens and no .ps or .pdf is created.
On the properties of my Adobe PDF printer
There are actually four entries. It does not seem to matter which one I choose.
I'm working now on seeing if I can get Acrobat re-installed.

3D PDF files in portfolio prints to Adobe PDF printer without content

3D PDF files in portfolio prints to Adobe PDF printer without content, but if printed from single 3D PDF file everything is fine. I need batch printing (this is the reason I use portfolio) of large amount of 3DPDF files because of the need to have proper preview of these files in browsers. Any ideas or workarounds how to have preview pdf's or jpg's of the single paged 3D PDF files, keeping relevant file names?

I suspected as much. I was hopeful it was something like a setting that needed to be changed or a reg hack that needed a bit changed from 0 to 1 to make the printing work as expected. I only installed the local printer to see if the RDP session
tunnel was in fact causing the print size to balloon so I will continue to instruct users to use that instead of the local redirected printer. I am disappointed but not surprised.
Edit:
Additionally I have tested the functionality of setting the GPO settings for Easy Print to use the redirected printer's drivers instead of the ones used by easy print, by setting “Computer
Configuration -> Administrative templates -Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host -> Printer Redirection”.
to “Disabled” but
with no luck. In fact the printer received the proper Adobe PDF driver, but the job went out into print spool hell and was lost to the ether. I have concluded that this approach will not bear any fruit.

Print to Adobe pdf does not give option for .pdf file

I recently installed Acrobat X Pro. I have a 10-page pdf document open in Acrobat. I want to eliminate the first page and save the other 9 in another file. In previous versions, I would select Print and then select the printer "Adobe PDF". When I do this now, the Save As File Type gives me only one choice - All Files *.* - which is useless. If I am in any other application the Save As File Type comes up .pdf. I don't think it is the installation, because I installed this on my desktop and laptop and it is doing the same thing in both of them. The operating system for both computers is Windows 7 64-bit. What can I do to fix this? Is it just a matter of changing a setting that I am not aware of? Thank you in advance to anyone who will help.

For Acrobat X I went to Tools - Pages - and the delete choice was grayed out. I thought I could get the same result by using the Print to Adobe PDF command. From any other application I can print to Adobe PDF, just not in Acrobat. Does Acrobat X not let you do this, or is it just on mine? And if it is only on mine, what do I do to fix it? By the way, I am able to delete pages from other documents, just not the particular document I am currently working with.
Any other suggestions anyone?

Create PDF or Print to Adobe PDF?

I have several Word and Publisher documents that I use as templates. I load them into Publisher or Word and then slightly adjust them (change names dates etc) before creating a pdf..
In the past I've almost always made the pdf by using the print dialog to send the job through the Adobe PDF printer, but seeing that there was a menu option in Acrobat X Pro to "Create PDF" I tried that.
Of course it worked fine but asked me to save the file before it could create the pdf.
As the file is a template I don't want to keep overwriting it when using the menu "Create PDF" option so I guess the question is - in this instance - is using the print dialog the best way for me to create my pdf's from my templates so that I'm not prompted to overwrite the original file?

OK one last question regarding PDF jpg image output quality...
I've printed two examples one through the Adobe PDF Printer - Standard Setting (pdf1)
and (pdf2) created with "Create PDF" (PDF Maker) from MS Publisher menu - again Standard Setting.
Both file sizes are pretty much the same and the "quality" of the image is nearly the same except that the pink circle highlighter (in the pdf) is much clearer in the file that was created using "PDF Maker" from MS Publisher menu.
PDF1 below was made with Acrobat X Pro Print dialog - Adobe PDF Printer - Standard Setting
PDF2 below was made with Acrobat X Pro "Create PDF" (PDF Maker) from MS Publisher menu - again Standard Setting
Is there a reason for this?

Missing Adobe PDF option in the Printer Icon

I have just upgraded to Mac's LION 10.7.2 and I have LOST the Adobe PDF option in my 'print menu'
How do I get it back into the Printer llist ?
If it matters, my version of Adobe Reeader is 10.1.1
Thanks
Shelgor

Phillip,
Thanks for getting back to me, but I am a novice ( softer word the 'dummy') and I cannot follow your directions; I don't "SEE' the items you mention so let me try to paint a clearer picture
When I have a document that I want t print.....I go to the file menu and select "PRINT' from the drop down menu, That opens window that has an oval window that allow me to drop down to see what printers are available....I have TWO......a Brothers MFC-5490cn and a Lexmark
NOW..tose ar my only two options......prior to up grading )from Snow Leopard) to Lion.....there was a third option....which 'Adobe PDF Printer', and THAT is the one I've lost.
My goal is to get it back into the Printer Window as a third option.
Thanks
