Acrobat 6.0 standard printer is missing

I can no longer convert files to PDF since my Adobe PDF printer is missing. It was there this morning, but after a computer restart it is gone. I do not have the original disk so the repair option will not work because it wants the msi file off of the disk. Any way to get it back? Thanks in advance

If you registered with Adobe, the customer service may be able to help.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard - PDF Printer suppress file name prompt

    Hi,
    We are currently developing a product for Autodesk Revit with regards to drawing generation/export.  Revit does not have an inbuilt PDF writer.  As such most users either use free PDF Printers or Adobe Acrobat Standard.
    We have managed to automate the naming of files using some of the free PDF printers, and suppress the file save as name prompt for each sheet in a set of prints.
    We'd also like to add support for Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard.  Is this possible through the Acrobat API?
    Any prompt help would be greatly appreciated as we are keen to get our product out to market very soon!
    Thanks.

    Thanks.  That's all I needed for now.  Our developer will take a look when he comes to doing that section of the product.
    Cheers.

  • Need help - Print Menue in Acrobat Pro and Standard

    Hello,
    at first, i have to apologize for my bad englisch because I'm german.
    I downloaded a Trial of Acrobat pro and there I hava an extended Print menue where I can choose individual Color Profiles.
    There is an image attached.
    But I don't really need the Acobat pro Features, because I need Acrobat only for Color Printing on my Printer. And it ist expensive.
    So my Question to you is: Is this extended Print menue also in Acobat 9 Standard?
    There is no Trial, so that I hope, that someone can help me.
    Can I also set this settings in Acrobat 9 Standard?
    Thank you very much for helping me with my buying decision.
    Greetings from Munich
    Sebastian

    The Advanced Print menu in 9 Standard does not have all of the options that are in your screen shot.
    Checked with a coworker who has 9 Standard, and the options are much more limited. (I have 8 Pro).
    Bad news is you would need 9 Pro.
    Saw this the other day; sorry for the slow answer, good luck.

  • Special Standard printer only for acrobat reader, is this possible? Registry Hack

    In my networking earea are a lot of printers also a big toshiba copying mashine.
    While printing a pdf file to it with an PCL6 printer driver it takes a lot of time to print this.
    When i take a Postscript driver it runs faster ...
    so when my users will print pdf's it is difficult to explain them how to print ... an own standard printer for acrobat reader would solve this problem.
    Does anyone have a solution? is there some registry hack?
    regards 2CV6

    In Windows (don't know if this is the case on Mac) in a corporate environment where you are connected to printers via verbose network paths, you can't see the entire path.  The "printer name" gets truncated.  Since the name of the printer is at the right end of the path, you can't see which printer is which.
    It would be handy if they had a function that allowed you to scroll to the right of the printer list and/or throw up a tool tip that gives the entire path.  I'm surprised this hasn't been flagged as a pretty significant issue.

  • Acrobat X update - .pdf printer missing afterwards

    I get notified of an update but every time I try to install the .pdf printer is missing afterwards. The only way I can get it back is to uninstall Acrobat and reinstall from original CD, but then I cannot update it

    Version 10.0.0 – I can’t update it because the .pdf printer (which I use a lot) gets removed so I have to go back to the CD which is version 10.0.0. I wonder if I can download a newer version if Acrobat X that already has the updates included – maybe that would help.

  • Acrobat 8 Pro - partial printing under Windows 7 x64 - any ideas?

    Hi,
    I've recently installed Acrobat 8 Professional as part of the CS3 Master Collection on a PC running Windows 7 x64.
    Now, I'd read up about this in advance and found the dll file adobepdf.dll_64 prior to installation, but I was never asked for it. The installation ran to a successful conclusion without ever prompting me for the missing file. After installation I compared the installed file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AMD64\AdobePDF.dll with the .dll_64 version I'd extracted and they were identical.
    Initially, everything seemed to be working fine, I was mostly using Acrobat as a reader, but I was occasionally generating small PDF files - no more than half-a-dozen pages - through applications like MS Word. This worked - and still works - fine, but I've noticed a problem now I've come to start exporting much larger files to PDF.
    If I print a long report from MS Access to the Adobe PDF "printer", then the standard "Printing..." box pops up as does a dialog box for me to enter the name of the resulting PDF file. At this point the Distiller window (with the title "Creating Adobe PDF") opens and both the printer dialog in MS Access and the Distiller window start counting through the pages as they always do.  However, without fail, usually at somewhere between around 50 and 90 pages (but it varies each time I print, even if re-printing the exact same thing) the Distiller window stops counting pages and just stalls. The application's printer dialog carries on working its way through the pages until it gets to the end of what it's supposed to be printing. Eventually the Distiller window closes and the log file opens up automatically in Notepad. Aside from the exact page number at which it stops, the contents of the file is always the same. For example:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[Page: 1]%%
    %%[Page: 2]%%
    .  <snipped>
    %%[Page: 84]%%
    %%[Page: 85]%%
    %%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; OffendingCommand: showpage ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    The same kind of thing happens in InDesign (the only other application I could think of quickly where I had a document with a large number of pages which I could try to output) and that fails in a similar way whether I print the document to the Acrobat printer or Export it to PDF format.
    However, the problem doesn't seem to be application related, instead there seems to be a cut-off point at around 30 pages. If I print (or export) to PDF something of no more than 30 pages (or I restrict the printing of something longer so that it outputs 30 pages or fewer) then the PDF file is nearly always generated OK.  If I go up to about 50 pages, most of the time it all appears to work OK but no file is produced. And more than 50 then the Distiller window stalling thing occurs.
    I've updated all the applications in CS3 to the latest versions, so Acrobat Professional is now on version 8.2.3.
    I know there are issues running Acrobat Professional 8 under Windows 7 x64, but I've not read of this specific problem in relation to that, so I wondered if that might be a red herring and there is a solution to this.
    Thanks.

    Just for the record, in case anyone else comes looking for a solution to the same problem, the issue appears to be with my Kaspersky Anti-Virus software. By setting a check mark against most of the exclusions in the Kaspersky application control for Acrobat Distiller everything now seems to be working OK.
    Thanks to everyone who took the time to read my original posting.

  • How can I update Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard

    How can I update Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard after installing it on Windows 7? Ive tried a few AcrobatUpd8**_all_incr.msp files but I get an error that the program to upgrade may be missing. I cannot afford to upgrade it to X* when this works for what I need it for which is simply to break up multi page documents created by Quickbooks.

    Certainly, the printer driver in Acrobat 8.0 cannot install in Windows 7 64 bit - it wasn't written too. Apparently, though, 8.1 is capable of installing the printer driver.
    Unfortunately, Adobe have taken down the page with release notes. But you may need to use the *efg* (English, French, German) versions. See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-7.html
    After 8.1 there is a "universal" (all language) update.

  • How can I stop Acrobat from overriding a printer's draft settings and printing in photo quality?

    Regardless of which settings I choose for my printer, Acrobat always prints in maximum quality.
    The printer works as expected with every other application I have, from Photoshop, Word and Pages, to Preview and Mail. But when I print a PDF via Acrobat or Reader, the printer lays down so much ink that the paper sometimes comes out damp.
    If it matters, the printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400, and I'm using Acrobat 8.2.6 and Reader 10.0.3 on a Mac Pro running OS 10.6.7.
    To reiterate, every other app I use respects the Epson printer dialog settings when it comes to printing in economy mode. I've looked around in Acrobat's print settings and can find absolutely nothing along the lines of "print in draft quality." Am I the only person who doesn't want, or need, to burn up expensive printer cartridges unnecessarily?
    This has been a problem since I bought the software, and it behaved the same way with my old printer (an Epson Stylus Photo 800). I don't need to print very many PDFs, but when I do, the printer wastes an enormous amount of ink.
    I'm not looking for a workaround, I just want to be able to open a PDF in Acrobat or Reader, hit CMD-P, choose the economy print setting, and have it actually print in low resolution.
    Being able to print a draft copy of a PDF seems to be a perfectly reasonable expectation when using software from the very company that developed the PDF standard in the first place.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Understood. I've already checked for driver updates, and am already using the most current version. I really appreciate your trying to help, ... let's hope someone out there has some suggestions, too.
    Cheers,

  • Adobe acrobat 9.0 standard

    I just got a new laptop with Windows 8.1 and have been using Acrobat 9.0 standard for a very long time.  Found out from Adobe Chat that 9.0 standard is not available as an online download and that the CD must be used.  Could not find the CD for 9.0 but found a CD for 6.0.  It is odd that we would have misplaced the 9.0 CD so I thought possibly 6.0 was the original and that we have been upgraded from there.  Tried to download 6.0 yesterday evening but there were compatibility issues.  Decided that today, we would just buy new software.  I turned on my computer first thing and noticed that a 9.0 file folder on my desktop including the install feature.  Tried to install but of course they want a serial number and if thought maybe the one on the 6.0 CD would work and it said it was an invalid serial number.  So I am at a stopping point...Chat says only this forum can help with the 9.0 std product.
    Am I just missing the 9.0 std CD or am I doing something wrong?  Should I just purchase new software (we are registered with Adobe for 9.0 standard) and if so, what would be the best Acrobat product (I already have "reader" - I need the product so that I can edit, stamp, combine files into 1 pdf etc.) for Windows 8.1?
    Thank you in advance for any advice.

  • Cannot Copy and Paste in Adobe Acrobat Version 9 Standard

    I just bought a new computer and with it I purchased Adobe Acrobat Version 9 Standard.  In the past I used previous version of Acrobat standard and professional to create drawings and to copy and paste my engineering seal on my structural calculations.  I am having (2) problems.  The first is when I try to copy and paste my seal from a PDF file, it does not work in Version 9.  I use the snap shot tool.  Please try the attached file using Version 9.  It works in Version 8 Standard and Version 7 professional.
    The second is when I try to printing from AutoDesk products.  I had the problem of when I would print a PDF from AutoCAD it would sooo big.  To work around that, I started using Autodesk Reviewer and creating my PDFs from an Autodesk DWF file.  WIth Version 9, I now having the file size problem with the DWF files.  It is about 5 times larger than the DWF and the qualtiy is terrible.  I was able to create a PDF from a DWF from Version 7 and 8 without these problems.

    It has been a part of Acrobat for a while now but DWF was added in Acrobat 8, I believe. As far as older versions are concerned, the version of AutoCAD you have matters. See: http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2008/12/version_compatibility_of_acrob.html. In addition, AutoCAD 2009 is supported in Acrobat 9.1.
    I would recommend downloading a trial copy of Acrobat and see if it meets your requirements.

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard Combine Files Format Issue

    I have an issue combining multiple PDF files into one. Every week we create a sales deck that is made of up 30 or so files. most of the files are created from a program called Cognos Impromptu using the Cognos PDF Server 5.0.44.0. According to the document properties, it creates a PDF Version: 1.3(Acrobat 4.x). I can not change this conversion setting.
    I then convert several word documents and Excel documents into PDF files separately and then combine them all together. These individual files are created using Acrobat Distiller 7.0.5 (Windows) and creates a PDF Version: 1.4(Acrobat 5.x).
    The problem happens when I throw one of the files created from Cognos into the mix. It causes the formatting on the PDF files created from word and excel to become "ugly". Random letters just drop off from the report and make it unreadable. Pages created from the cognos reports are always ok. If I try the combine excluding the cognos converted PDF files, it works perfectly.
    This happened when we got new computers last week. By some stroke of luck, I was able to fix it on my computer and I don't have the issue any more. However, I am trying to fix it on my coworkers computer and Im not having any luck. Our settings match perfectly in Acrobat, Distiller, and PDF Maker installed in Excel and Word. I don't even know what I did to fix mine.
    If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. We are both running Windows XP and have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard edtion.
    Thank you

    Bill,
    thanks for the reply. I think i got it. When they gave us the new computers, they installed a copy of acrobat without some of the latest updates. update 7.0.5,.7,.8, and .9 were missing from our programs. I also noticed that her create to PDF setting for microsoft office was set to standard but the distiller was using high quality. i think fixing the combination of the two may have fixed it. I am going to try and create a full report and see. I will post back and let you know if the issue is gone.
    thanks again.

  • Cannot Create PDF Acrobat 9.4 Standard Windows 7, 64 bit

    Hi,
    Currenlty my colleague and I have the same issue; we cannot create PDF documents using Acrobat 9.4 Standard or the office plug in, and there is no PDF printer available after the acrobat installation either.
    We are both using Windows 7, 64 bit version. I have checked and confirmed Acrobat 9 on Windows 7 64 bit with Office 2007 should be compatible.
    * When using the 'Create PDF from file' feature from Acrobat we get the following error: "Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?"
    I have run the installer in repair mode multiple times, same isssue occurs after this is done.
    * When using the Acrobat plug-in for office, for example in Word (we both use Office Professional 2007) and selecting 'Create PDF' it will prompt for a save location, after select save nothing happens, and there is no PDF file created in the save locaton.
    So far I have tried the following without any success:
    - Un-installing and re-installing acrobat, multiple times
    - running the acrobat application in compatability mode for Windows XP
    - attempted to create PDF files from older word versions i.e. .doc and .docx have the same issue
    - attempted to manually install PDF printer using the acrobat installation files - did not work
    * I am aware that Office 2007 will allow me to save a document as PDF, however we still need acrobat for the publishing quality and editing features.
    Any help or suggestions regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated :-)
    Kind Regards,
    Wade

    I understand what you are suggesting. I have two laptops the same model. AA works on one but not the other.  I do have office 7 and a 64 bit OS.
    Thanks for the help

    If you are running a 64-bit version of OFFICE 2007 (if one exists), that may be the issue. AA X did not work with that version until the most recent release as I understand it. Since you have AA 9.4, I am not sure of the compatibility of it with the 64-bit version. It is strange that the printer does not appear. It seems a few others have had similar problems and as I recall, someone made a suggestion to fix that recently -- though it may have been for AA X. You might search on 64-bit or such.

  • Acrobat 7.0 Standard can DOCX be converted to PDF

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard version 7.1.0.  I am unable to create a PDF from a DOCX file (Word 2010).
    Is this conversion supported?
    Also, I am using Windows 7 Professional, and I don't have the ability to right-click to convert to PDF.  How can I get this back?
    thanks in advance.

    If you can use AA7 on Win 7, you may be successful. However, you will have to print to the Adobe PDF print. If you were using an earlier version of WORD (2003), then PDF Maker may work. In any case, AcroTray will likely not work. That means you will have to print to the Adobe PDF printer with print-to-file selected. Then open that file in Distiller to complete the process. A bit combersome, but may work. I have done it with AA5 and Win 7 starter -- a bit of a pain and an upgrade is really appropriate. If you have a 64 bit system, you may be totally out of luck.
    So, you may be successful in getting AA7 to work in some sense. Do not expect perfection of no errors. Good luck.

  • Acrobat X Pro&Standard AdobePDFprinter Centering

    Hi!
    Allmost for 10 years I workd with Adobe Acrobat 5, PDFwriter&PDFdistiller were two virtual printers and the world was fine
    I have an old application (there is no newer release of it) that givs its graphical data output in non standard A3-dimensions 403mm x 286mm but it fits fore sure on an A3-PDF page. (A3-dimensions are 420mm x 297mm). This old application has no printing options to center the content.
    My Problem is that the Adobe Acrobat 5 Writer "automatically" printed the smaller content centered vertically and horizontally on a standard size A3 PDF.
    The Adobe(X)PDF printer doesn't center the Page content and I didn't find the relieving option(s). It puts the page content in the upper left corner of the A3-page and thats the Problem.
    When i try to print out this PDF on an A3-Printer with no page scaling (becaus of a printed map scale within the graphical data) a border of about 3-5mm on the uper&left side is cut and i can't find a way to center the page content in Adobe Acrobat in an A3 standard size PDF document.

    Acrobat X: http://www.bilder-space.de/bilder/9981b3-1313672073.png
    A colleague and I put heads together to get this nut broken and I think, we reached a further step. I just reviewed the working steps on a machine with still Acrobat 5 installed and recognized that Acrobat 5 puts a 6,3mm margin by default around the "whole printout". So there was and is no magically centering in Acrobat 5 it just fit to our requirements (see first posting in this thread) and that's it.
    So my next problem is now, where I have to define the margin of 6,3mm in the Adobe(x)PDFprinter configuratio? I don't know well how to edit.joboptions files if I have to.

  • Do you have an installer for Acrobat 6.0 Standard for Mac???

    Please help me!  Can you send me an installer for Acrobat 6.0 Standard for Mac???  The Acrobat Customer Service "help" says this is the only way I can get my Acrobat going again.  It won't bother YOUR installer to share it with me.....and I must use MY OWN SERIAL NUMBERS to connect with them, so they say there's no way it could hurt you......but it would really help me! 
    I reinstalled my system software, and my Acrobat got corrupted in some way which will not let it communicate properly with Adobe.  I cannot upgrade because this is the only version compatible with my other software.  Please help, and send me the installer so I can get working again.  I'm grateful for anyone who can help.  Thanks, Jane.

    I'm sorry you distrust me and the person from Acrobat.   He does not
    usually work on the Forum, and was trying to help me as Adobe thinks this is my
    only solution.   One of the other Acrobat customer service people had
    suggested it, and someone had replied that perhaps he could help.   I guess you
    misunderstood his posting because he was not trying to say my software had been
    "trial" , he was using that as an example.   I bought, own, and have been
    using my copy of Acrobat 6.0.4 since I bought it directly from Adobe in
    2004........I had something happen with my operating system, and now I need to
    reinstall it, but Adobe erases the installers from people's systems after 3
    years.   It was the Adobe Customer Service Techie help line that suggested this
    "solution".   I have my own serial number etc.......it just won't connect
    to Adobe without some teensy missing part of something from the installer
    software.   The only "standard" versions I see out there for sale, are for PC,
    not Mac.   If you know of something else, I'd be grateful for the info.  
    Thanks for your interest.   Jane.
