2-sided printing broken in Acrobat 9 Pro 9.5.0 Mac

I upgraded to Acrobat 9.5.0 on my MacBook Pro and 2-sided printing no longer works on my Lexmark printer. It rotates every other page 180 deg but puts each one on its own single sided sheet. This worked properly before upgrading and I can print 2-sided from other applications. Any thoughts?

Do as I do on some items. Install a utility called TypeIt4Me the go to the announcement. Copy the link. choose add clipping give it a name put / or \ at the end so it you type the same words normally it don't trigger the typeIt4Me entry. then when you need to type the words (code used) and wait for TypeIt4Me enter it. the item highlighted in my attachment is this:

Printing Problems with Acrobat Pro 9.5 for Mac

I have Acrobat pro 9.5 for Mac. I'm using a Canon MG8150 multi-function printer. Everytime I try to print from Arobat Pro I get an error message. Any suggestions? I can print my pdfs from Apple Preview; so it's not the document or the printer.

The first problem is probably a permissions issue. Run Repair Permissions from the Disk Utility. For the second see this
Announcement: Known Acrobat Issues under Snow Leopard
Hide Details
(1) The Adobe PDF Printer module does not work under OS X.6. Please see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html to find out how to create Adobe Quality PDFs under Snow Leopard.
(2) Opening files from the finder, including files authored by Adobe applications, may not open them in the original authoring application. Omitting a file extension from the file name will increase the likelihood of this happening. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/511/cpsid_51110.html for more information.

Print to File Acrobat Pro X for OS/Mac

Opened a file and edited within Acrobat Pro X for OS/Mac.
I added stamps and text boxes.
Within Windows computer I would go to print, Adobe File.
When I do the same with in Mac, it read "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
When I follow this procedure, the text boxes and stamps are editable.
I want to save / print the file, so file is "locked" meaning text boxes and stamps are not editable.
How is this done???
See video http://screencast.com/t/y6vXU2xQ1

A better approach is to flatten the flatten the pages, which converts the comment annotation appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with the following JavaScript statement executed in the interactive JavaScript console (command+J):
// Flatten all pages
flattenPages()
Even better is the following JavaScript-based utility: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

How to do selection of the Matt Black/ Photo Black in the print setup of Acrobat Pro (for an Epson 7890) ? Selection of the media ?

Acrobat's print dialog doesn't deal with hardware-specific features, for that you have to click on the "Properties" button next to the dropdown printer selection field.

HUGE BUG printing Booklet from Acrobat Pro 11.0.10

I spent an hour chatting with Adobe support in India. They could not solve this issue.
I submitted a BUG REPORT at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
Here is the BUG Report:
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Export individual pages from InDesign as pdf (16-page booklet, each individual page is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2")
2. Open pdf in Acrobat Pro 11.0.10
3. Choose actual size, then choose booklet, and print. (printer contains letter-size paper, and page set-up is set to 100% scale.)
Results: The printed booklet is the WRONG SIZE! The pagination is correct as usual, but each individual page is being REDUCED, and now each page image is too small, and there is now a GAP between pages, and the entire booklet is useless. If you can, please see case number: 0186447426: support chat: it covers everything we have tried so far ... (We tried everything they could think of, but all attempts failed.) This bug was introduced somewhere along the line with Yosemite.
Expected results: As usual, when printing booklets from Acrobat Pro, we expect the print to be the right size, the same size as the InDesign doc, and as it has been printed previously by Acrobat Pro prior to Yosemite. Thanks for fixing this disaster of a bug. Please contact me if you need further info, copies of the individual page pdf, etc.
I am literally stuck. I can go through the laborious process of using InDesign to "print booklet" to a postscript file and use Distiller to make the booklet pdf, but under Yosemite, I am prevented from installing print drivers unless that printer is locally available on my network. Unfortunately, the printer is located at my client's place of business.
I realize there is typically a leap-frog effect between operating system updates, hardware, and application updates, but combined with other Yosemite issues, this Acrobat Pro bug is killing my business.

DrStrik9 (sounds a bit poisonous to me!),
The issue, regrettably, is that Acrobat is performing as designed. And it has nothing to do with either MacOS 10.10 or anything new or different with Acrobat 11.0.10 (versus earlier versions going all the way back to the initial implementation of the booklet printing feature). And this isn't directly a printer driver issue, either! The same behaviour occurs both on MacOS and Windows.
The problem, simply stated, is that the Booklet print option in Acrobat (and Reader) is attempting to avoid loss of content due to the paper's non-printable margins. The scaling factors in the Size print option are not utilized at all in the Booklet print option. The Booklet print option attempts to fit two logical pages of your PDF file into the printable area of each physical sheet of paper. Assuming that your printer's Letter page is defined as having a printable area of 8"x10.5" due to a 0.25" non-printable area surrounding the page, then the Booklet print option will force each of the 5.5"x8.5" pages of your PDF file into a 5.17'x8" area centered on each half of the 8.5"x11" printed sheet.
There are three workarounds that I know of:
(1)    Many high end printers have booklet printing capabilities in the printer or printer driver itself. Check the detailed driver options to see whether in fact your printer / printer driver does support a booklet printing option. If so, try that first. That would likely solve your problem.
(2)    Assuming that this is a PostScript printer, edit the .PPD file for the printer you are using to to modify the specification of the Letter printable area. In the PPD file, you will see an entry similar to this:
    *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "18 18 594 774"
or
    *ImageableArea Letter/US Letter: "18 18 594 774"
Edit the entry to change only the four numbers as follows:
    *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "0 0 612 792"
That indicates to the PostScript driver that there is no unprintable border on your pages. Then save the .PPD file. I would then suggest rebooting and then trying to print. Note that the side effect of this is that Fit and Shrink oversized pages options will not take into account the non-printable area of your printer.
Note that a similar hack can be done with Ledger (i.e. 11"x17") page descriptions in the PPD to fix a similar issue affecting printing 8.5"x11" pages to 11"x17" sheets as booklets.
(3)    There are some very reliable third party plugins for Acrobat that provide full advanced document imposition capabilities, creating what are known as printer flats as a new PDF file from your logical pages. There are n-up, booklet, step-and-repeat, etc. options galore in such packages. Examples include Quite Imposing and PDF Snake. I have personally used Quite Imposing for nearly 15 years for this purpose and can vouch that it works beautifully. I don't have personal experience with PDF Snake, although it is less expensive.
Good luck and let us know if any of this helps you at all!

When I print a pdf, Acrobat Pro XI freezes. I can't even close it with the task manager. Any suggestions?

The document will print, but then Acrobat Pro is frozen and I can't do anything. What should I try?

Hi,
Thanks for reporting the issue.
Is it happening with all Pdf files or any specific category of Pdf files or only with a specific Pdf file ?
For investigation, please attach sample PDF file, or you may share your email id for communication.
please specify the OS platform details and Acrobat version !!
Which printer you are using, and also please check the behavior While using AdobePDF or other printers (if available) to give a Print ?
Thanks,
Anil

Print comments with Acrobat Pro

I want to print comments using Acrobat Pro on one shhet rather than sequenced on seperate pages. How can I do this?

Anybody?

Has anyone managed to deploy Acrobat Pro 9.0 for Mac through ARD?

Has anyone managed to get Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 for Mac to deploy with any level of reliability through tools such as Apple Remote Desktop?
The main CS3 apps are "better", if still kludgy to deploy somewhat silently, but every time I've tried to get Acrobat Pro 9.0 to deploy, it steadfastly refuses to do so without demanding admin access on at least the first launch, and insisting on running the Updater in the process, which is completely unacceptable.
I should say that I've looked at their Adobe Acrobat deployment site (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/solutions/it/), and it's entirely useless for the Mac version.
Why do Adobe make this so hard?

Okay, I think I've figured this out.
* On a clean machine (ie: no Adobe software), install Adobe Acrobat Pro
* Run Acrobat. Insert license code. Allow it to "selfheal". Quit.
* Run Distiller. Allow it to "selfheal". Quit.
* Edit AcroEFGPro90.plist and AcroEFGDist90.plist which can be found in Contents > MacOS within the Acrobat and Distiller apps respectively.
* Change the "Requires" tags from "YES" to "NO" for all the file resources.
* Copy these to plist files into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/ and overwrite the ones that are already there.
* Run Acrobat and Distiller again. Allow "selfheal" if prompted. Quit.
* Run again. Quit.
* Build a Mac OS X installer package of the following:
/Applications/Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0
/Applications/Utilites/Adobe Utilities
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet*
/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.*
/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet*
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/Adobe*
/Library/Printers/PPDs/.../.../.../ADPDF9.PPD (one per language)
/Users/Shared/Adobe
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf900
* After you've built the package, go through the Acrobat application bundle and find cupshup.pl. Copy it into the Resources folder of the installer package, and rename it to "postflight" (this gets the installer to configure the PDF printer).
* Distribute through ARD.
* Grab com.adobe.* from ~/Library/Preferences
* Distribute the com.adobe.* files to all users; the .plist files can be done through Workgroup Manager, however com.adobe.118.registration must be copied as-is into the user folder, rather than being injected via MCX or the defaults command or any other method, as it's not a plist.
Dear Adobe,
MAKE THIS SIMPLER.
Your Friend,
etc...

Enterprise updating of Acrobat Pro 9.1 on Mac OS X?

I am really frustrated. The only updater I can find for Acrobat Pro 9.1 for Mac OS X seems to require full manual control via GUI, and does not allow in any way for it to be applied via, say, Apple Remote Desktop, or via SSH.
I have 50+ computers here with Acrobat Pro and I want to apply the update. I am the only sysadmin here. Please provide an appropriate installer! I do not have time to walk to each computer, log in, mount the dmg, launch the updater, authenticate, locate Acrobat Pro for you, run it, log out. Especially when the lab is open 110 hours per week and is busy, I need these kinds of updaters to be able to be run in the background via command line.
(Harumph!)
-Jason

Unless there is a "hidden" or "secret" updater for Acrobat Pro 9 (currently 9.1.2 is the most recent patch), there is *NO* way to silently and remotely install the patch. I have been picking apart the contents of the dmg and installer app bundle for over a month now. I have tried every combination I can think of.
There is *NO* facility in the updater app that would allow for syadmins to deploy the patch or patching process to multiple computers, remotely, in the background. This is a HUGE PAIN IN THE ***! (Adobe, get your s*** together. My university has already dropped the purchasing and support of CS4 for all public labs due to this kind of shenanigan, plus the incredibly complex installer structures and deployment issues.)
Please, please, please. If you want institutional volume purchases, you MUST support methods to easily deploy and UPDATE your applications. This Acrobat patch is a dismal failure. I am very seriously considering removing Acrobat Pro from my lab computers, and not renewing licensing when the current CLP is up. For far too long Acrobat Pro has been a considerable pain in the *** for deployment. The @#$@#$ "self heal" b.s., the need to run first as an admin user before any other users on the system can use it... I am ONE guy supporting a LOT of computers. I do NOT have time to be logging into every single machine to launch one application. This is b.s.
Adobe: FIX IT! Or you will lose our business altogether!
Ever hear of the command line? SSH or other remote shell? Apple Remote Desktop? Hello?
You've made the cost of ownership extremely expensive, and not simply in terms of dollars.

I recently installed Acrobat Pro X on my Mac. I initially accepted the terms of agreement, but then every few seconds the same prompted window for the terms of agreement keeps popping up. Can anyone explain why this is happening, and how to resolve?

Printing problem with Acrobat Pro 10.1

I get an "Insufficient memory" message on my LaserJet printer when trying to print certain PDFs using Acrobat Pro 10.1, but the PDFs are printed without any problem from Acrobat Pro 9 or Preview. Does anybody else have this problem?

Thanks for responding I was using an MS Excel spreadsheet to merge details to produce labels in a programme called NiceLabel Pro. The information from the spreadsheet was very simple - a readable code number and a QR code. In the Nice Label document setup you nominate the printer - in my case this was the Adobe PDF printer - to produce a Press Ready quality PDF file. I tried several times to print this file and each time ended up with page 1. As the job was urgent and I had a deadline to meet, I ended up installing a programme called Nitro - which also produces PDF - to complete the job, without a problem. However, I would prefer to stick with my Adobe Acrobat software as the other alternative is limited in its pre-press options. Hope this information will enable a solution to the problem.
- Thanks, Lynne
Hi again Dov - have you been able to come up with an answer to my Acrobat problem. Would like to begin 2015 with workable Acrobat.
Many thanks - Lynne
