8.3.1. adobe pdf on macbook pro

since downloading Maverick error msg appears in apple mail striking through adobepdfde800

It is not a "work-around". It is the intended behavior of Snow Leopard 10.6.x
Apple intentionally changed the way SL handles "print to PDF" and SL intentionally disables the Adobe Acrobat printer driver.
Once I removed the Adobe Printer from System Preferences -> Print & Fax and restarted the computer, a new option appeared under the (PDF) button on the Print window: "Save As Adobe PDF". This is an Automator action that does everything that the disabled "Adobe Printer" used to do.
Hope that helps. (jk)

HT1338 how to download adobe reader on macbook pro

how to download adobe reader on macbook pro?

First of all, I want you to know that Mac OS X already has the ability to open and read PDF files. You do it with the Preview application. Also, on the Mac Adobe Reader is the third most vulnerable application to security risks. That is due to exploit are delivered through PDF files.
If you decide to download it you should still stick to using Preview to open PDF files and only use Adobe Reader in the few cases that Adobe Reader is absolutely required. Preview is not vulnerable to the same exploits as Adobe Reader because it does not have all the capabilities as Adobe Reader.
To get Adobe Reader go to: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Click on the download button. Once the download completes install the software.

What is the shortcut key to highlight words in adobe reader in macbook pro

what is the shortcut key to highlight words in adobe reader in macbook pro?
Shift + U is not working
how can i change shortcut key?

I don't believe there is a keyboard shortcut available for that feature. But I believe if you click-select the topmost chapter, and Shift-click the bottommost chapter, it should select them all.
Other shortcuts for books can be set up in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts in the Panel Menus product area. There are no default shortcuts in that area.

Adobe Lightroom on MacBook Pro does not see my iphoto library

Adobe Lightroom on MacBook Pro does not see my "iphoto library"

Hello.
The problem is that the iPhoto library is inside of iPhoto. Lightroom won't let you select it because it's basically a shortcut to iPhoto. Try exporting the images you need or all of them, depending on what you need.

Unable to install Adobe Air on MacBook Pro running OSX 10.7.2

I have been trying for a while today to install the adobe air product on my machine so I'm able to run the TweetDeck software. Unfortunately no matter what I do, the installation seems to fail. I've manually uninstalled old files. I've run suggested apple scripts suggested in other threads. I've repaired local disk permissions. You name it, I think I've tried it. Any assistance would be appreciated. I've included the console activity log for the last hour or so of trying to get it working. Thanks, Stephen

2. Attempting to download latest version of Photoshop CS5 fails.
     a. Downloading CS5 from Adobe.com requires pre-installing Adobe Download Assistant.
     b. Adobe Download Assistant can be downloaded but cannot be installed because it requires pre-installing Adobe AIR.
     c. Adobe AIR can be downloaded but won't install. Sometimes it issues error msg saying it requires most recent version of Adobe AIR, other times there is no screen activity after attempting to install from <AdobeAir.dmg>.
2. There is no option to turn off automatic graphics switching in Energy Saver System Preferences on this computer, so that suggested solution does not work.
3.   Turning off (unchecking) "Automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep" has no effect — still unable to install AIR.
This is a nightmare. The reason I bought this computer rather than a less expensive model was to run Lightroom (which did install OK) and Photoshop CS5. HELP!

My suggestion would be to reinstall Lion from zero. No update.
I did that, and now I can install / uninstall Air without problems.
The installation takes about 20 minutes...

Adobe PDF Printer (Acrobat Pro 9.3.2) causes Print Spooler crash on Windows 7 64-bit

We have recently upgraded our office to Windows 7 64-bit. This upgrade has been very smooth with the exception of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. We are running Acrobat 9.3.2, I know there are a couple of additional updates available but they do not fix this issue if installed.
The problem occurs when users create documents using the Adobe PDF printer. The Print Spooler will crash, causing the application they are printing from to stop responding and they are forced to close the program. From this point onwards the user will be unable to print to any printer whatsoever, until they restart their computer. Stopping and starting the print spooler (clearing temp files as well) sometimes corrects the issue, but by the time they have found an admin to do this they may as well just restart.
I should note that this problem is not very consistent. It occurs sometimes after one PDF has been created, sometimes after they have created many PDFs, and sometimes not at all. It doesn't seem to matter which application they create the PDF from either. It's very irritating because I can't pin it down to anything in particular.
I've Googled a lot around this subject and I can see that I am not the only one with this issue, however there don't seem to be any solutions out there. This issue is widespread across our organisation and I would greatly appreciate any constructive suggestions on finding a resolution.
Many thanks, Steve.

Several months ago, I started working on this issue and thought that I had it resolved by uninstalling the "Internet Printing Client" from "Windows Features" (Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off > expand Print and Document Services > uncheck Internet Printing Client). This change seemed to help at the time, as I was then unable to reproduce the issue and the end-user was unable to reproduce the issue for two weeks after (thus I closed the help desk case). But now it looks like the issue is back. Maybe the above setting will help someone else, but I'm now looking for a permanent fix.
PS: I have instructed our users on the "Save as PDF" option provided in Office 2010, but I don't think that is used all the time, and the PDF printer is there only option in other applications (IE for example).
Anybody had this issue and found a fix?
Thanks,
Justin

How can I download adobe reader on macbook pro 10.7.5

I have a Macbook Pro OS X Lion 10.7.5
Processor Speed is 2.4 GHz
Memory is 4 GB
Don't know Storage Capacity
My Problem is after downloading the Adobe Reader I press "FINISH" and the download seems to disappear. So I didn't press "FINISH" after one trial and it seems to be there but won't open.
How can my download be successful?
Thanks
Sandra

Is this the site that you're using for the download?

Note: you've posted your question in the wrong area, as it has nothing to do with "Mac Pros." And, you have a MacBook Pro.

Adobe Presenter on MacBook Pro?

Is it possible to run Adobe Presenter (current version) on an Apple MacBook Pro either directly or with one of the programs (Parallels etc) that allow Windows programs to run a MAC?
If it is possible hopw has your actual experience been? My work is pretty simple, just PowerPoints with audio-no video.
Thanks..Dave

Presenter 6 works with my Macbook Pro using Parallels and Windows XP Pro OS. I did a narrated Powerpoint. The results are very good. My audio quality wasn't the best but I think it was the Logitech headset I was using.
Cheers.

Blurry Adobe Acrobat on Macbook Pro 15" Retina Display

Hello everyone,
I bought a Macbook Pro 15" on 31st October, everythings working great with the Retina Display except for when I open up Acrobat Pro... the interface is very blurry as well as whatever file I open up. The graphics card is Intel Iris Pro. I'm currently running Adobe CC on my computer and everything is updated. Does anyone know a fix for this?
Thank you!

Well that certainly helps in terms of making the image larger – only problem is with the low resolution there's a loss of clarity and pixelisation of the image; so not the same level of quality...
In System Preferences/Display, what resolution do you have your screen set to? Try changing that also to see if the two settings can work together. Also, since the vast majority of users (Mac or PC) don't have Retina Displays, isn't what you're seeing with Low Resolution checked in Photoshop closer to what most people will see? Remember that Apple's software, such as Safari, have been upgraded to take full advantage of the rMBP display; most other browsers, especially in Windows, haven't.
And if you want to tinker with the rMBP's resolution even further, check out "Eye-Friendly" in the App Store.

Adobe CS3 and MacBook Pro: any problems?

i am about to purchase a new 15" macbook pro and adobe cs3.
has anyone experienced problems or issues with cs3 running on their macbook pro?
thanks!

Hi,
I have purchased CS3 and I have a G5 Tower and a MBP dual 2 core (bought it 2 months ago)
Let me tell you that I am very unpleased with CS3 on both machines.
On the G5 it is 10 times slower than CS1 for some reason it takes a lot of processing power and RAM wich the G5 does poorly.
On the MBP it processes fine but I only have 1 Gig of RAM and I feel that I don't have enough. Plus it doesn't help that a laptop HD is slower at opening files so it really makes it look like it runs slow...I should of bought the 24in imac instead due to the fact that it doesn't cost 900$ to buy a extra 2 Gigs of RAM
and the HD is faster

Adobe CS5 and Macbook Pro Retina Display

I recently bought a new Macbook Pro Retina Display notebook. Before I got it, I didn't realize what an effect it would have on my existing programs, and had I known, I would have thought twice before switching. I have never had so many problems with a brand new computer. It seems absurd to me that Apple would introduce a product that was not supported by so many important software platforms, Adobe Creative Suite and Acrobat Pro included.
I have Adobe CS5 and was not planning on upgrading to CS6. It is too expensive and I am a poor PhD student with lots of work to finish. Now when I use my CS5 applications, I see the images in very poor quality. The program will not let me change the "Open in Low Resolution" settings as the button is disabled. I do not know how to make it look better or what to do. I cannot work using this low resolution. It hurts my eyes and I cannot see the lines properly to be able to adjust my drawings.
What can I do?

Hi Rossco,
You're right, the program works and the content produced is unaffected. My rationale to get the program work environment to be Retina compatible includes;
Visual clarity. For reading glasses wearers such as myself, the blockyness can be frustrating. But regardless of middle aged disability, it just looks better when a program is Retina compatible.
It's a major component of my work environment, so making the most of the computer's assets is important to me.
It (OK, this is the emotional statement Rossco ;-)) frustrates me that an Educational program fails to take advantage of a computer type very commonly used in Ed departments. And Retina is not new, nor a passing fad.
Adobe do commit to Retina compatibility, evidenced by Acrobat updated recently. Captivate please!!??
Best regards
Nick

Bad text quality in Adobe Reader on Macbook Pro with Retina

When viewing documents in Adobe Reader (just installed on new Macbook pro retina), text quality in documents and in the program itself is very low.
Text quality is perfect in viewer and in Adobe on other computers and on my Iphone. All settings are as recommended (110 pixels/inch and text smoothening turned on). How can this be?

IE8 crashes during print to Adobe PDF (Acrobat 9 Pro)

IE8 and MS Paint both crash during print to Adobe PDF. Neither an update to latest version of Acrobat 9 Pro (9.5.3) nor running repair installation will fix this issue. Operating system is Windows 7 SP1.
Installed third party PDF Printer so that these two apps can print to pdf.
Any ideas?

The reinstall is typically the last ditch effort to do. The first step is Help>Repair and Help>Updates. As far as Office 2013, the PDF Maker of AA X is not compatible and you can only print. In your list of errors it showed a problem with AcroTray.exe. As a first step, go to the print and select print-to-file. The file will be a PS file (maybe with a PRN extension). Once the printer if finished, open the file in Distiller to complete the process. If that is successful, then the problem is with AcroTray. Check your running tasks to be sure AcroTray is indeed running. If not, that is likely the problem. If it is, then restart it (it is located in the Acrobat folder). AcroTray provides the interface between the PS creation and Distiller to automate the process of creating the PDF.
