AA8 and Win7 Home Edition - why won't Adobe PDF Printer work?

Was running AA8 on my XP Pro laptop.  Installed AA8 on my netbook running Win7 Home Edition.  Can't print to Adobe PDF printer - well, the reality is that the system tells me it's printing, but it never opens Acrobat or Reader to ask me where I may want to file the PDF file!  Troubleshooter tells me that I'm missing the AdobePDF.dll file and that it's on "the Windows Vista CD-ROM".  Unfiortunately I've never had such a CD nor have I ever used Vista.  How can I get AA8 to work on my netbook?

As suggested by the link, you are likely running a 64-bit system. You have to have at least AA8.1 for 64-bit systems. If you have just installed, you are likely running 8.0. Simply open Acrobat and go to Help>Updates and request the updates in order until they are all applied and then reboot. Also, be sure that AcroTray is running in the background (ctrl-alt-del and check the task list. Enter ESC to return or just close the window).

  • Why won't Adobe Bridge CC work with Photoshop CC (2014)?

    When I try to launch Bridge CC from Photoshop CC (2014), I get the Creative Cloud App window and Bridge won't launch.

    After reading a slew of blogs, I've come to the conclusion that Adobe is working on a fix, but it may be some time before that happens. It's really not a deal breaker, as one can launch Bridge first, and that will open PS CC 2014. Time wise it's not much of a difference.

  • Why won't adobe reader print a .pdf?

    I have worked on this Mac at my job for 3 years. Much of my job is online research, and I frequently print .pdf documents, or "Open .pdf In Preview" and select pages to print.
    About 2 weeks ago I found that .pdfs would no longer print or Open In Preview.  I can still Select the content and copy it to a Word doc and repair the formatting for printing.
    But I would really like to just print the .pdf.
    How to find out what's wrong?  How to fix it?
    I have already re-installed Adobe Reader and downloaded the latest version.
    Thank you for any help.

    Hi Shayne Laughter,
    Adobe Reader is for reliably viewing, printing, and annotating PDF documents. It’s the only PDF file viewer that can open and interact with all types of PDF content, including forms and multimedia, hence we cannot print documents to PDF using this.
    Also, Preview is a default application in Mac used to view and edit images and PDFs. If you are not able to print documents to PDF then the issue is with Preview and I would suggest you to check with Apple.

  • Why won't my HP printer work on my MacBook Pro? Help!

    I have been trying to get my scanner to work on my HP Photosmart 4385 All-in-one printer but it hasn't worked for a while. I googled some possible answers and found that apple has updated software (HP installer) with the drivers for my version of I OS x 10.6+ operating system. I downloaded the software, installed in - following the directions provided. When I try to print from word, it says in can't find my printer. I have a wireless connection, and I also have a cable. I went into Preferences, clicked on printer/fax, and I can see my printer there. I clicked on it and asked it to open my scanner software, but it says it cannot locate my printer - but I see it listed. Can anyone help or give advice?
    Thanks!

    After you installed the drivers did you repair permissions and restarted your computer?

  • Why doesn't adobe PDF pack convert font jester when converting pub documents to pdf documents?

    Why won't adobe PDF pack convert font JESTER from a pub to a pdf file?  It converts the JESTER headings to font ARIAL instead.  When I was using windows XP and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional the conversion came across as JESTER like I wanted.

  • Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

    Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."  I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

    Try this:
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
    Empty the trash
    Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.

  • Why won't my iMac print consistantly to my compatible HP 6500A? I've checked for updates and downloaded the lasted software...still can't print. All my other Mac devices find the printer but the iMac is hit and miss. I'm operating the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.

    When you say hit and miss do you mean sometimes you print a whole document with no problems, or do you mean each document has problems? This is from HP's website for your printer:
    Your sig says 10.6.7 but your message says 10.7. So if it's really Lion, this printer isn't officially supported. Elsewhere on HP's site it says updated drivers will be available on your Mac via Software Update. Have you run that recently?

  • Why won't Adobe FrameMaker 11 generate PDF?

    Why won't Adobe FrameMaker 11 generate a PDF?

    I was working on this problem a few months ago, but my workload made me simply use the FM 11 and FM 7.2 on my old XP PC. I now REALLY need to find time to focus on the FM 11 and Adobe tech comm suite on my Win 7 Professional PC. I "forced" myself to work on this today.
    Here are answers to your questions:
    I was trying to "save book as" PDF and it starts as if generating PDF with Distiller, but tps file is zero bytes. NO error messages. No, I never had to have Adobe PDF printer as the FM default printer in the past. But I just tried it with Adobe PDF as default printer, and it didn't work. Used RGB mode. Job option = "Standard". Yes, I checked for FM updates and it says there are none and that 11.0.2.384 is the latest version.
    I am most frustrated and have tried everything. I have worked with FrameMaker for 15 years, and I thought I understood it well. But this has me stumped.
    About two months ago, I took the PC to the office (I normally work from home but go there about once a month for meetings at the Dallas office) and sat with my PC side-by-side with the other technical writer. Compared what happened, and we were both stumped. I need to go back and do that again. My inclination is to uninstall Adobe Tech Comm Suite 4 and selective install only FM 11 with Distiller. Then I can go back and selectively install RoboHelp 10 for HTML help.
    I REALLY appreciate your willingness to help. I am not sure what to do next. THANK YOU very much for responding. Like I said, I think I need another session at the office to compare notes step-by-step; I think it has something to do with the PDF printer/converter, but not sure why it works on other writer's PC and not mine. I might have to make time and call Adobe to see whether they can remotely access my PC and try to assist. But that assumes they have some expert available who REALLY understands this software.
    Thanks again.

  • Why won't Adobe Media Encoder export WMV?

    I am using Adobe CS6 Design Standard with Adobe Media Encoder, and I'm trying to export video files to WMV using the Encoder.  I'm am running Windows 8 and for some reason the option to export to WMV does not come up for me.  I only get four options of formats, while online it says I should have many more.  This is a full version of CS6 that I bought and paid for, and every program is up to date.

    Can I just buy the converter plugins or do I have to buy premiere pro or after effects?

    The formats and codecs available for export through Adobe Media Encoder differ depending on what Adobe applications you have installed. The vast majority depend on the video applications, After Effects or Premiere Pro, being installed.

  • Why won't some pdf-files open on tablet/phone?

    I simply get the error saying: The document cannot be opened because it's not a valid pdf-document.
    However I have no problems opening the file with my laptop, only my phone and tablet (Jellybean 4.2.2) won't open it.
    My friends also have managed to open the file on their tablets (android/windows).
    Have reinstalled and checked updates and tried other programs but none has worked for me.
    I simply have no clue and would appreciate help.

    Hey,
    Seems like the problem was in the web browser I was using, as the file just
    didn't download correctly.
    Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated.

    Hey,
    spent some time discussing this with some friends of mine and found out
    that the document can be opened by downloading it to the computer and
    transferring then to the tablet or phone. The difference is that when
    downloading with tablet/phone I get a .pdf file, which only has some html
    code. So I guess the problem has something to do with the encryption of the
    file. Here are the 2 different files I get as attachments. After all this
    might not have anything to do with adobe, but some other stuff I don't
    really understand.

  • Why won't Apple support printing to mobile 3 rd party printers

    Why won't Apple support printing to mobile 3 rd party printers

    It's up to the printer manufacturer to provide an app for printing from. Many do, and any support AirPrint which is what iOS devices use for printing.
    It's not Apple's job to create printer drivers for every third party printer on the market. Printer manufacturers provide drivers with their products.

    Maybe you could supply us with more details about what exactly you are doing, how you are doing and what you are using to do it.
    The reason I say this is because you are in the forum for Adobe Reader which is a FREE application and not a service.

    Why won't my ipad print ?

    Hello Karwen,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    AirPrint Basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
    Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
    Has the latest firmware version installed.
    Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
    Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
    Best of luck,

  • Why won't my pdf resume upload?

    I am applying for a job that requires me to upload a resume in either pdf or rft formats as part of the online application.  I designed and wrote my resume in Word (2003, SP3), opened Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.1.3), used the "Create" function to turn my Word file into a pdf, embedded the fonts, saved the pdf...then...on the employer's website, I received an error message when I tried to upload my pdf file (see copy of message below).  After several tries on different computers, I finally spoke to a real person at this company who said my resume had too much formatting...they only have Version 8 (I assume that's Reader, not Acrobat), and I should remove some of the formatting and re-try.  By the way, this person told me that the company has already received OVER 500 resumes successfully uploaded.
    After many versions of my resume still would not upload, I completely stripped my resume.  No bold, no underline, no tables, no columns, Tahoma font in 3 different sizes.  This time, I saved the file as a Word Document and as in Rich Text Format, and converted both to pdf.  Resume looks lousy...but at least it would upload.  No such luck!!!!  I got the same error message that I had received with all the formatting.  Last night, I tried to upload the files using a friend's computer.  I could open my pdf file in his Adobe Reader...no problem.  Tried to upload...same error message.  Finally decided to try uploading the rtf file.  Worked perfectly, first try.
    Although my rtf was successful, I would like to know why the pdf wouldn't upload.  I assume if I can actually get the pdf upload to work, I'll be able to use at least some formatting to improve the look of my resume.  I also have to upload Recommendation Letters, all of which are in pdf format.
    Here is the error message.  I very much appreciate your help!!

    Yoiu might try using Reduce File Size or the PDF Optimizer to save the PDF to an earlier version, like AA5 or AA6. Then try the upload. It may be that they are not allowing for newer versions of PDFs. Also be sure you have not used any fancy features of Acrobat in the PDF. I would create the PDF by printing to the Adobe PDF printer from WORD and not using PDF Maker. All of these steps should create a simpler PDF that may be what they are looking for.
