Acrobat 9.0 for Window - Cannot create PDF Printer

I can't create a printer as non of the drivers in "C:\program Files\adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF" work. Re-installing does not work either. I tried installing older verions 7 & 8, both created Adobe PDF Printer... when installing version 9 it deletes the printer.
The message I get is: PDFMaker cannot locate the Adobe PDF Printer's printer driver. Please re-insall Adobe Acrobat 9.0
Anyone have any idea how to resolve this?

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:

  • Adobe Acrobat XI: Error Adobe Acrobat is not activated. Cannot create PDF File.

    After installing Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 7 Ent. w/Office 2010.
    From MS Word, select Save as PDF, I recieve "Adobe Acrobat is not activated. Cannot create PDF file."
    Any and all troubleshooting has failed.
    Uninstall Acrobat, language packs, re-install, install updates, Install on fresh image.

    kglad  your link refers to Windows XP. As to the rest it is questionable. First of all it would be nice to know the cause, before fixing the problem. For in some cases eliminating the cause will solve problems later on. So, in my case for ex. The problem did not exist until I protected my Word 2010 document and then saved it to PDF--which it would not allow to do so and giving the error message stated above.

  • Safari for windows cannot open PDF files

    I'm posting this topic because it was archived in 2009 without a solution.
    When clicking a pdf link in Safari for windows (4.0.3) it opens a new window but does not show the pdf. The window remains blank with "canceled opening page" in the status bar.
    For me this hangup was caused by the environment variables TEMP and TMP being set to an inaccessible location.
    Basically, to open a pdf file Safari needs to safe it to a temporary location. Then Adobe reader can open it from that location. The location is set in the environment variables TEMP and TMP. For me they were set to "D:\Temp", however D was a CD drive hence the file could not be saved let alone opened.
    Solution: Go to Control Panel>System>Advanced tab>Environment Variables then check/change the user variables TEMP and TMP to something you are sure is accessible like "C:\Temp".
    If this solution works for you please write up a response. Good luck.

    There needs to be a way in Safari (or in Acrobat or Windows) to say "if you download a PDF file from Safari, launch Acrobat and open that file."
    I'm not on a Windows machine to check at the moment, but in the Mac version you can set in the Safari preferences an option to 'Open safe files after downloading'. I wouldn't be surprised if this were missing from the Windows version though due to the additional security implications this could have on Windows. There is no ability to configure different files types to be opened by specific applications from within Safari, unlike Firefox for example.
    You can however open files simply by double clicking the icon in the Downloads window that Safari pops up when a download occurs.
    ... how I tell Apple there needs to be an option to allow Safari to push streamed or downloaded file types to their correct creator application?
    On a Mac, Safari menu -> Report Bugs to Apple...
    On a Windows PC, Safari Help Menu -> Report Bugs to Apple... (I think)

  • Installing Acrobat Pro 7 on Windows 7: Adobe PDF Printer won't install

    Moving to a new system, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit  Already installed FrameMaker 8, without installing the Adobe PDF printer.  Now trying to install my trusty copy of Acrobat Pro version 7.  I get a "Warining 20225" (see attached), and the printer driver does not install.
    What do I have to do here?  Uninstall FM8, uninstall Acrobat, reinstall Acrobat, reinstall FM8?
    --C

    What do I have to do here?
    Buy and install Adobe Acrobat X.

  • 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

    Subject: Cannot Create PDF Acrobat 9.4 Standard Windows 7, 64 bit
    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 XI Pro for OSX can't open password-protected pdfs created using Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows

    I am having problems opening password-protected files created on a PC using Acrobat 9 Pro.  I am running a MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4 with Acrobat XI Pro.  When I attempt to enter the password when prompted, a dialogue box pops up saying that I've entered the incorrect password.  After many attempts, I am certain that the password entered is correct -- this is reinforced by the fact that i am able to open the same document using Mac's Preview software.
    Any assistance would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X).  For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file.  I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight. 
    The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display.  Now I can drag pages between documents again.  THANK YOU Josh!
    Oh, and CORREAdmin,  it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel.  Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference.

  • Cannot creat pdf from Powerpoint using Acrobat Pro X

    I cannot create pdf files from Powerpoint 2010 using Acrobat Pro X.  I am using Windows 7 32-bit. There are no updates for my Acrobat Pro X and so the PDFMaker is up to date.  When trying to save to a pdf, the program will crash.  The problem signature from Powerpoint states that the problem name is "APPCRASH" and that the fault module named MPS.dll.  HELP!

  • Cannot Create PDF in Adobe Acrobat 8

    I'm using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and I cannot create a pdf from a *.docx file and *.doc file.  Word 2007 does have the Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin listed as a trusted site.
    When I try to Create PDF from Multiple files the error message is Cannot convert file type to PDF.  Please remove this file from the list. 
    Is there a way to create a pdf file in Adobe 8 with 2007 and 2003 documents?

    In WORD 2007 you should have a create PDF menu set. That is the PDF Maker that works with AA8. There could also be some issues with the OS which you did not mention. AA8 is not certified for use on Win7 and is a potential problem. I suspect that you do not have PDF Maker for AA8 active in WORD. You can always print to the Adobe PDF printer to create a PDF, you just lose some of the bookmark and related options.

    I did try to uninstall and reinstall.  It messed up my computer.  I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup.  This was not helpful at all.  I'm used to losing all my stuff when I connect to iTunes, that's a whole other issue, but now I'm completely banned from any updates to my phone at all.  Geeze.......

    Best,
    James.

    you cannot use your pc license to install on a mac.  you would need a separate license (and serial number) for that.
    adobe allows platform swaps, but only with the latest (xi) version, Order product | Platform, language swap
    your option to use acrobat on a mac are to upgrade to acrobat pro xi and change platforms, use a windows emulator (parallels/boot camp etc) on your mac or swap with a third party.

  • Adobe Acrobat XI Standard for Windows upgrade to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for OS X

    I have changed the platforms, from win to mac, and Adobe Acrobat is required for my work. I own Adobe Acrobat XI Standard for Windows and I was interested if I could change the platform to OS X, but unfortuantelly XI Standard is not available for mac. Also, I could not find a way on Adobe.com site to upgrade XI Standard to XI Pro and then change the platform.
    Please advise.

    I believe Adobe have been known to deal with "crossgrades" before, but you would need to contact sales in person to deal with this.

  • How to install or enable Acrobat X SDK for Windows

    Ok down that I have downloaded Acrobat X SDK for Windows. 
    DUUUU How do I install it?? The only setup.exe is located in Visual Studio App Wizard. 
    I have Professional X.....do I add it from this program some how? 
    thanks
    mike

    There is nothing to install as such.
    SDK is basically set of public headers , documentation related to them and some samples to demonstrate the usage of these public APIs to write third-party plugins/samples.
    You can write your own Acrobat/Reader plugin/App using the SDK.
    The setup.exe you found is the plugin-wizard which will install template for Acrobat Plugin on VS9. If you are developing on VS9, it will be useful for you to install this template.
    Please refer to the SDK Documentation for the details on how to use the SDK (for writing plugins).
