Acrobat Printer driver

I am unable to send a file to the PDF printer. and make a .PDF file to read or print out in the Acrobat reader. abs save the file .

Thanks  fellows:
I have windows Vista Home,  I an installing CS5.5 Standard. This is how it acts,
I print the file to adobe printer, I enter the file name and place to send the PDF. it goes to nowhare. the queue is empty.
I have Uninstalled and installed 6 times.
First, After unstalling, I cleaned out the registry with registery booster  (didn't work)
Second Uninstalled cs5.5, Adobe instructions, ran adobe_creative_suite_cleaner_tool, installed (that didn't work)
Third Uninstalled Acrobat oly ran acrobat_ittoolscleaner_p1_040612 (didn't work)
Fourth Uninstalled cs5.5 again ran Revco unstaller, Ran Adobe cleaner, Ran th Acrobat Cleaner and reininstall the cs5.5 again (didn't work)
Then I tried  the disscussion group since Tech hasn't been a help.
Thanks , John C

  • Acrobat print driver for double-sided option?

    i pretty much feel like i am brain dead or something since moving back to mac OS when it comes to printing - and that is saying something considering i moved from windows.
    in any event, despite the fact i have had a ton of help in trying to figure this out i still cannot figure out how to get an option to print double-sided on my HP officejet pro. every time i get in one of these to print to a second paper tray or to create black and white only prints or two to a page or whatever i feel like i am in some hall of mirrors created by mc escher. i /have/ gone in and set presets on the mac pro for 2 to a page through 16 to a page for black and white and for color prints and i have gone ahead and done the same for my laptop as well (sigh) - however something as simple as printing to a second tray for 11 x 17 or 12 x 18 paper on the epson (i move the trays /manually/ from to the first slot to get this to work) or printing 2 sided out of acrobat (i still can't figure this out) is mind bogglignglingling.
    can anyone help me figure this out? i go rooting around around in here and then just flat out give up.
    am i printing out of a mac user interface and i need to download an acrobat driver or something? someone helped me out on this earlier and i am trying to get it all finalized as best i can...
    THANKS

    hi eric. big thanks.
    i am attaching the screenshot showing the two-sided HP option (in this case it is buried under "Driver").
    i don't know but for the record - i am in 2014 and every email i get says "think of the environment before you print" and HP and Mac OS and Adobe can't get it together enough to let me /easily/ print to two sided paper???? am i missing something or is burying this setting in Settings > Select Your Printer > Driver a total wormhole and - well, why after checking this am i still at a loss to print to two sided paper out of Acrobat? i have an 104 page pdf document sitting here i can't print.
    i mean, i think eric was kind enough to point this setting out to me before (and lord knows mother earth dearly hopes that the checkmark is the default setting...) but why with these three powerhouses am i still at a loss to get to two-sided out of acrobat?
    at least Preview buries other things and leaves this one option staring me in the face each time i print...
    THANKS

  • Acrobat Printing Driver results in blank pages

    I had Acrobat 9 Pro installed under Windows 7 Professional. I uninstalled the software to move it to my Windows 7 Enterprise Operating System and apply all the updates. When I attempt to print a web page I am receiving a blank page or a one page PDF file with just the web page name at the top of the page. Moving Acrobat back to Windows 7 Professional works OK. All my other programs including CS5 work OK under Windows 7 Enterprise without any issues.
    Thank you all in advance for all your help.

    edbedb,
    What software are you using for scanning and which HP device do you have?
    Just trying to help.

  • Missing Printer Driver... Please Reinstall

    So I got this error the other day.. that the Acrobat printer driver was missing and that I shou
    ld re-install Acrobat Pro 9.  That was an adventure.  After several days of trying to reinstall just Acrobat from my CS4 installation files, I finally removed all of CS4 ran the Adobe cleanup scripts, etc.  Re-installed CS4, got my updates, etc... and I get the same message whenever I try to create a PDF: PDFMaker cannot locate the Adobe PDF Printer's printer driver.  Please re-install Adobe Acrobat 9.1
    Clues, hints, suggestions?
    TIA

    ORBMike, I was on phone support the other day for 3 hours to fix this problem. They do not know why this is occuring. They did get my software working but it is still not in perfect working order. They had me download acrobat X. With their help we copied the drivers from X to 9. It was somewhat technical so I suggest calling adobe phone support. They were Great!!

  • Why does my Acrobat Pro 9 PDF print driver either lock up or become confused as to where it should store a file when printing a document from within the Firefox browser?

    I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 for creating .pdf files on a Windows XP SP3 platform. Firefox 6.0.2 is my browser of choice. This question only applies to the .pdf printing process. All other printer drivers work fine with this version of Firefox.
    In attempt to save paper, I choose to print most documents in an electronic .pdf format using the PDF print driver and save them to my USB drive. Before upgrading my Firefox version to 6.0.2 this process seemed to work fine but after upgrading the .pdf print process seems to be experiencing problems. This particular printing process will cause Firefox to lock up when the distiller tries to print the file to what I believe is a temporary folder under the Adobe folder. When it does this I am sometimes able to force it to complete the process but frequently it will only produce a log not a .pdf file. On other occasions the distiller will just lock up mid print without producing any kind of error message. In both cases I will frequently have to use Windows Task Manager to break out of the process which then shuts down the Firefox browser. I don't seem to have any problems when I use Internet Explorer to perform the same function. As far as I am aware I am running the most current drivers as Adobe automatically pushes down updates to me as they become available. Any ideas how I can overcome this issue or is it inherent to the new version of Firefox?

    The PDF file itself does not control the "print as image" preference, which should always be turned OFF unless there's a specific need to rasterize the entire page, and is turned off by default in all Acrobat and Adobe Reader installations.
    What's the filetype for the ultralight font and what export setting* are you using in ID? If you're exporting to earlier than PDF1.7, OpenType fonts will be converted and may experience some small changes in shape if their hint definitions aren't done right.
    *As a side note, bear in mind that InDesign does not use any part of Acrobat when exporting PDFs, so questions specific to that stage in the process should be posted to the InDesign forums.

  • Acrobat 7.0 Pro error message in Vista Ultimate..missing printer driver

    I use to have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional installed on my other computer with had XP Pro as its operating system. I could convert any Word 2003 document into a PDF and e-mail it without any problems. I just purchased a new computer with Vista Ultimate 64 bit and every time I try to convert a Word document into a PDF I get an error message that says it can't find the printer driver and to please re-install Acrobat. I did what it said and I keep getting the same error message. I even installed the newest Adobe Reader like it said. I know my printer driver works. Does anyone have a solution? It seems all the money you spend on Adobe products their support staff just wants to wash their hands and send you on some wild goose chase looking for answers on their un-user friendly site instead of answering the question or making any recommendations. If I have to update it so be it. They should have told me that. This is the last time I will fork over $600 on any of their products because their service stinks. I appreciate any help from anyone who has experienced this same problem or who knows how to rectify it. God Bless, Tony

    Hi Michael, Thank you so much for the reply. You would think Adobe Support could have told me that so I really appreciate it. Do you know what I need to do to upgrade it ? Can I find an upgrade on E-Bay or do I need to go to COMP USA or some other place to buy the upgrade? Last, what exactly am I looking for to upgrade it to the newest version. (Name of product). I will also remove the other program so it won't have any other issues once I get the upgrade. Thanks again and God Bless, Tony

  • Acrobat 6.0 and Windows 7 - is there a PDF printer driver available?

    Hi,
    I have been using Acrobat 6.0 with Windows XP fine. However, I just got a new computer that has Windows 7.
    I installed Acrobat 6.0 but cannot now convert any documents to PDF on this new computer. I get this error--
    "The PDF maker cannot find the Adobe PDF printer driver and to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 6.0"
    However, reinstalling Acrobat 6.0 does not help, nor does the repair feature.
    Is There a patch for this product? Can I download a driver for the PDF printer so that it is compatible with Windows 7?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I have Acrobat 6 as well and just upgraded to windows 7. Can't afford Acrobat Version 9 either. From what I understand, only Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL, ULTIMATE or ENTERPRISE editions can you run most Windows XP productivity programs in Windows XP Mode(separate download). At least that's what I read here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-modeI wonder if that will help you. I unfortunately only have STARTER edition.
    *The following text is copied and pasted from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-mode
    Windows 7 Feature has a Windows XP Mode
    It's the best of both worlds: The new Windows XP Mode lets you run older Windows XP business software right on your Windows 7 desktop.
    Designed primarily with small- and medium-sized businesses in mind, Windows XP Mode comes as a separate download and works only with Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise. Windows XPMode also requires virtualization software such as WindowsVirtual PC. Both are available free on the Microsoft website.

    Windows XP Mode, available for the Professional and Ultimate editions of Windows 7, helps prevent older business programs from becoming obsolete.

  • PDFMaker cannot locate the Adobe PDF Printer's printer driver. Please re-install Adobe Acrobat 10.1

    The following error message appears when I try to create a PDF in Publisher:
    PDFMaker cannot locate the Adobe PDF Printer's printer driver. Please re-install Adobe Acrobat 10.1.
    I have tried update patches to no avail.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thank you.

    This is the forum for Adobe Reader (not Acrobat). If you have Reader, you won't have that driver. If you have Acrobat, you'll want to ask in that forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat

  • What is the Acrobat 7 Adobe PDF printer driver name?

    I can no longer print to my "Adobe PDF" printer.
    I have Acrobat 7.1.0 (as part of Creative Suite 2) on my small travel laptop system running Windows XP Professional, SP3. 
    Recently, if I try to print to a PDF file from Firefox, I get:
          "an unexpected error has occurred" or "an unknown error has occurred while printing".
    I went to the Adobe PDF printer itself and if I try to choose the properties, I get "The Adobe PDF Converter' is not installed on this computer. Then it asks me if I want to install the driver now.  If I say yes, it wants the driver name, which I don't know and don't see obvious candidates.   If I say no, and I see the properties for the PDF printer, it says the driver is "Adobe PDF Converter", but I guess the underlying driver file is missing.
    I found a posting for how to manually reinstall the printer on Acrobat 10, but my directory structure is different and I don't have a file called pdf.inf, so I suspect the driver name is different in Acrobat 7. 
    I can still launch Acrobat 7 just fine, and have tried doing the repair from the help menu twice, and rebooted afterward.  No luck.
    I didn't delete the Adobe PDF printer before the repair.  I was afraid to.
    I could go back to the original CS2 disks, but then I'll lose all the updates I've downloaded and installed over the years.  I don't know if Adobe even has the updates for CS2 online anymore.
    I suspect if I knew the name of the PDF printer driver in Acrobat 7, I may be able to fix it. Even if the file got deleted, I likely have it on an old backup.
    Does anyone know the name of the ".inf" driver file for the Adobe PDF printer in Acrobat7 (CS2)?
    If not, is there something else I can run from the setup files that will reinstall the PDF converter?
    Thanks.
    Cindy

    I cannot confirm, but feel confident that Adobe has the updates available for CS2.
    Reinstall from the disks.
    I just looked through my XP system running CS2; I cannot see an easy way to reinstall the Adobe PDF Printer, but it is already installed there.

  • Disabling "Save as..." popup in Acrobat Distiller printer driver

    Hi!
    We are using an application which is automatically generating a pdf file using the Acrobat Distiller printer driver, but recently one workstation start poping up a Save as... window each time a file is generated (it is very annoying since this application is generating a lot of different reports).
    How we could avoid having to confirm each time the name of the file? Registry setting?
    Thanks.

    Already did that.
    If I remember correctly it was something in the registry... still searching.

  • Acrobat 8 pdf printer driver

    Running in Windows XP and try to publish to pdf from Word.  Get error message "can not located pdf printer's printer driver".  Need help 

    Assuming you have AA8 installed, you should have the Adobe PDF printer present as an active printer on you machine. If not, then open Acrobat, go to the help menu, and select repair. If you can not do that, then go to the Control Panel>Add/Remove programs and activate the repair there. You might also check for updates, you did not indicate the version of AA8 you are talking about.

  • Fix acrobat 10.1.9 - print driver wont funtion after update

    After the 10.1.9 update in acrobat X. I can no longer print to teh print driver from other applications. It goes to print and then fails with error message in printer que.
    I've tried to reload update but no change. What to do?

    Anoop
    The error message was in the printer que and would just state " Error printing" under status.
    I think I have fixed it for now. I deleted the adobe printer listed another as my default and re ran the update. This created a new printer and I changed it back to my default printer and it has worked a couple of times so far. We'll see how long it lasts.
    This is not the first time I've had an issue like this. The adobe printer has failed several times on me in the past, mostly only failing on occasion until it gets worse to the point of not working. It's frustratng to print something and have nothing happen or maybe it will. I'm wondering now if it has been becuase of an update. Every once in a while my computer will quit printing to the adobe printer and I have to go through a blind man's redo this change that repair until it starts working again for some reason. Mostly in the past I have been able to delete and recreate the printer to get it working again. This time it wouldn't work even after fixing the update, reloading the update, re-running the update. The thing I changed when it did work was to delete the printer and list another printer as my default. When I reran the update it created a new printer that worked??????????
    So far - you are the only help I have found with this issue. I and our IT guy have spent alot of time looking for something on this issue and find nothing. If you have any light to shed on this I would appreciate it.
    Thanks

  • Reader 9 Acrobat PDF Printer Driver Continuously Installs

    Since I have installed Reader 9, the Acrobat PDF Printer Driver Continuously Installs in the background degrading system performance. Does anyone else have this problem? It auto created a System Restore point, so check that. I am running XP with all patches applies.

    Hi Mike,
    I have exactly the same problem that you describe. At first I thought it might be malicious software that was installing a fake driver, but after running Malware, Spybot and some other programs, I'm still left with the problem. I have a lot of Adobe software installed (Adobe Premiere Elements 7, Adobe Acrobat Pro 8, Adobe Audition 3, Adobe PhotoShop 7 and of course Adobe Reader 9, plus as you indicate Adobe Air and Acrobat.com I'm not sure when my problem started, since I only recognized it when I went to do a system restore. It appears to install the driver about once a minute. This leaves me with about 3 days worth of useless restore points.
    The only advice that I have received is to un-install all my Adobe stuff, then check the System Restore, then one by one re-install the packages checking each time what happens in the system restore.
    Have you found any solution since your original post?
