Acrobat 7, needed with FrameMaker 7: How do I get and install an "Adobe PDF printer instance?"

In FrameMaker, when I try to save a FrameMaker file as a PDF file, I get the following message: "FrameMaker could not find Adobe PDF printer instance, which must be installed to execute "Save as PDF" command". I have a sinking feeling that I deleted that printer instance from my list of printers, thinking I did not need such a printer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FrameMaker 7, Acrobat 7 and Reader 9. All reinstalled successfully, EXCEPT still no Adobe PDF printer instance. Thus my question: how do I get and install that Adobe PDF printer instance?
.( I am using a new computer. I still have my old computer available, with the Adobe PDF printer instance on it. If I could find where in the old machine (Windows XP) the files are for it, I could copy them to the new machine).
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just curious,
What is the new machine's OS (& is it 32-bit or 64-bit)?
Be well...

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

Or, it is set the other way around (which makes more sense). Even though you are in Landscape mode, it is binding on the Long Side of the paper. Since you are in Landscape, you would want it to bind on the short side.
Think of the Binding like a Book. How would you flip the finished pages to read the “book.” Where it would be bound in the imaginary book is how you want it to print.

How can I install just this Adobe printer from the DVD?
I cannot access any custom install features from the dvd as this is a braindead drag and drop into the applications folder type of installer.

I found this and it worked.

Select clip in timeline. Open effects. At the bottom, search for flip. This should find the "Flipped" effect. Drag that effect cover the clip.

How do I get the Converting to Adobe PDF process to stop hanging?

I installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on a machine running Windows 7 Professional 64bit. I have tried creating PDFs from MS Office files (using the Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar). I have also tried printing to Adobe PDF, from within MS office but also elsewhere (e.g. IE, Notepad). No matter the creation method, I am prompted for a file name and location and then the Acrobat PDFMaker window appears with a taskbar and message "Coverting to Adobe PDF..." The process hangs there and a print job appears in the Adobe PDF printer with a status of "Error - Printing." How do I get the process to stop hanging and successfully create PDFs?

FWIW, a former colleague was also frustrated with this "Error - Printing" hang-up problem, when printing from any app to Adobe PDF, with Acrobat Pro 9.3.0 on a Win7x64 system. I recall forum threads on that issue, with no clear resolution?. What did work on every print job, though, was the two-step method: (a) Print to File with Adobe PDF, then (b) fire up Acrobat Distiller 9 to convert the intermediate .prn Postscript file. (It would seem that Acrotray wasn't functioning properly in a x64 environment?...though it did run as one of the pc startup processes)
As that two-step method was acceptable for his workflow, he never explored the possibility of getting a fluent one-step PDF creation by upgrading to the highest available v9x version, or beyond.

How do I install a Adobe pdf printer?

Upgrade from Acrobat Pro X to Pro XI destroyed my prior Adobe pdf printer. How do I reinstall the printer instance without reinstalling Acrobat XI?
I found a reply for an earlier version of Acrobat, but I have no interest in installing the PDF printer into \Desktop or \Documents. Whatever it said to do didn't work and I've received no reply to my question posted on that old thread.
So, how do I recreate the Adobe PDF printer, and, how do I do so while selecting where I want the .pdf files to be located?
Thanks in advance for help

What OS are you running? If it is a version of Windows, is it 32 or 64 bit? Are you using 11.0.0? Did you reboot after the install? If you did not reboot, then do that first. The next step is to run a repair and then do the updates (XI is currently at 11.0.03). Both the Repair and the Updates can be run from the Help menu.

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version? . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
Thanks.

Acrobat X does not install the Adobe PDF printer

When I try to install the Acrobat X on a Vista SP2 machine, the installation completed successfully but it does not create the Adobe PDF icon in the printers section.
This was not a problem earlier, but there were some microsoft patches and GPO updates which happened which may be causing this issue. I am not sure what change has caused this problem.
Any ideas on where to start the investigation would help.

How do I get and install an older version of Firefox to run on my Mac 10.4.11?? I mistakenly installed a new version that overrode my older version which isn't suitable for my Mac.

We get a message that says "You cannot use the application 'Firefox.app' with this version of Mac OS X.
How do I reinstall an older version of Firefox that works on our Mac??

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

How to allow domain users to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences

Hi
I am able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences in admin login but not able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domian users login...
can I have a solution to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domin user login

WOW! I was amazed to see that within minutes of posting my initial thread, I tried something that works.
Apparently, the only way is will actually convert is if you select the regular Print option in the File tab. Then, change the Printer to Adobe PDF & the Paper Size to 11x17. It also worked for 36"x48" becuase I created a custom size named "Poster", so I changed the paper size to Poster & it worked!
I hope this helps someone. I searched for an existing forum on this issue off & on for MONTHS before creating this thread. If anyone has any suggestions why the Adobe PDF tab /PDF Maker wouldn't work, I'd like to know.

Is Adobe Acrobat XI compatible with Framemaker 8?

Installing the trial version of Acrobat has uninstalled the Adobe pdf printer instance from my Framemaker 8 installation. I can no longer make pdf's with Framemaker! Can these two Adobe products run on the same machine? How do I get Framemaker working again - do I have to reinstall?

re: ... this problem seems firmly placed at Adobe's doorstep ...
Yes and no.
The problem of FM trashing Acro installs, and vice-versa, without warning, is something we can definitely lay at the doorstep of the Adobe abode.
Adobe main apps tend to co-exist (if the older ones run at all on new platforms, and that's usually beyond Adob's control).
The problem of old and new drivers (Ps/PDF drivers, PDFwriters, etc.) coexisting is not trivial. If the drivers maintain their same names, stomp. If they churn the names, it breaks user expectations and possibly some scripts (like SetPrint).

I can not print an PDF using the Adobe PDF-Printer with Acrobat DC

Hi all,
i installed the Trial of Acrobat DC but it dont let me use the Adobe PDF-Printer well, because i cannot print from any third-party-application using Adobe PDF.
I tryed to print from within Word, Editor and Browser and selected the Adobe PDF-Printer as target, but at 75% both, the Application from which i print and the PDF-Creating-Wizzard are freezing (for hours) and i need to kill the procesed. No PDF-File is created. Same Problem with trying to print a Testfile from within the Windows-Printer-Dialogs.
Only Adobe DC cause this issue, if i use freeware like Bullzip PDF the files get created successfully, so i assume its not a generally problem with PDF on my system.
What could be the problem? (pls dont say its because of the trial, a trail should allow to test all features and Why should i buy a programm if it cannot do what a freeware can do?)

Hey Daniel,
Have you tried repair Adobe Acrobat DC?
If no, then please repair the installation under Help menu.
This could also happen due to an Adobe Acrobat DC installation file corruption. To resolve this issue :-
Uninstall Adobe Acrobat DC using the Acrobat cleaner utility.
Restart your computer.
Re-install Acrobat Acrobat DC Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC.
Let me know if the issue persist.
Regards,
Aadesh
