Acrobat pro 8 pauses printer

Hello
In the last several days i've encountered a problem printing pdf files using adobe pro 8.
when i send a print choosing the acrobat 8 printer, a printer icon shows up in my dock saying the printer is paused. when i reactivate the printer (there is a button) and resume the paused file, the dialog says "opening distiller" and sends the printer back to the pause status.
anyone knows what to do?
i tried reinstall and repair but no luck.

Ensure you're running Acrobat 8.1.2 (patch up otherwise) and you might
also want to update to the latest OSX version ....

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended | Print Option | Enable Flash Object Issue

    Hi,
    We are facing some problems with Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended Print Option.
    We had a requirement to embed interactive Flash graphs in the PDF file, user will interact with these graphs and whatever graph he plotted, the data for it will be saved in PDF text field, so that on the next launch we can fetch the data to the flash from PDF text fields, so that user can see what changes he did last time. This works great, we are able to successfully comminicate from PDF to flash and then from Flash to PDF.
    Please note that, PDF can have multiple graphs on different pages.
    The issue we are facing is when we interact with the graphs and then try to print the PDF, in that case only the currently active graph or flash file (The page on which user is currently on) will be seen enabled in the print, the graphs on the other pages, which are not currently visible are seen in disabled state hence the data on it does not get printed.
    We have also used the "RMA.activated = true;" command, still no success. Please refer to the screen shots below to understand the issue in more detail..
    Flash Embed Options:
    In the Print Option, it looks disabled:
    The required/desired output is as follows:
    We want all Graphs to get printed in enabled state and with the data user had entered. Please do let me know, if there is any workaround to achive this functionality.

    Which version. I think it is a minimum of AA9.2 that is needed for X64. Anyway, you should probably either open Acrobat and do the update (help menu) or download all of the updates from Adobe>downloads>updates and install them in order. The current version is AA9.3.4.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 Print Comment Summary Issues

    I have acrobat pro 9 and am not able to print a comments summary.  When I click "Print Comment Summary" I am not redirected to the "Print" window as tutorials explain should happen.  The "Summarize Options" window just closes and nothing else happens.  Is there something I can change to make this work.  Thanks for your help!

    Sorry about that the subversion is 9.4.0 and I am running xp.  It is adobe acrobat pro, should I move this question to a different forum?

  • Acrobat Pro 8 Printing Problems with Xerox 252 Fiery

    printer: Xerox 252 with Fiery Controller
    Software: Acrobat Pro 8
    OS: WinXp pro
    The problem occurs when I am printing a binder that consists of 8x11 and 11x17's. The printer locks up and does not print. We have had the Xerox techs come out but after numerous trouble shooting efforts we came to a conclusion that there is an issue with Acrobat 8.
    Also, in order to print an 8x11 or 11x17 there is a need to go through and set the file size for each time we print. The check box "print by pdf source size" is checked and we are still having problems.
    I've had no issue with Acrobat 7 and the problems I'm having are with Acrobat pro 8.

    Correction it's a Xerox Docucolor 242 PS with Fiery

  • Acrobat Pro - advanced print settings

    Hello,
    my system: Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.7
    I want to change the settings under file - print - advanced
    the settings under "Acrobat default" and "Custom" are not modifiable
    do someone know how it works?
    thanks K.W.

    Only the fields supported by the selected printer driver are active on that dialog; for example if you don't have a PostScript printer, that section is turned off.

  • Acrobat Pro XI print dialog box opens in background, Web Browser

    Issue:  From web browser apps, I select Print > Adobe PDF > then, the Save PDF File As dialog box opens in the background instead of the foreground.
    Acrobat Pro XI / Acrobat Pro 11.0.2
    IE8 x32 / IE8 x64 / Firefox 20.0.1
    Win7 Ent x64 SP1
    Dell Latitude with I5 proc and Intel video
    Dual screens with extended desktop display via DVI
    In Distiller, I check the box for Preferences > Ask for PDF file destination.
    I was issued a new corporate laptop a few months back, specs are above.  Did not have this issue with Acrobat Pro X on my old Dell Latitude running Win7 Ent x64 SP1.  So, I have multiple new moving parts in what could be the root cause.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,

    "Acrobat is a fincky application..."
    One thing I've learned since OSX 10.2 is that Mac is finicky about printer drivers too.
    I had a Lexmark and it would freeze all the time after I switched to Panther. It was a discontinued model so when I moved up to 10.3 there were no new drivers. The old ones installed OK but they would cause it to freeze up and if it did print, it took about ten minutes to get through a page of text.
    I got a new printer and one tht had current drivers available for Mac and the problem was solved.
    It seems we fight a never-ending battle with hardware and software racing to stay ahead of each other.
    Yes I've owned three printers since owning my first Mac an SE 30 I started out with a Apple ImagewriterII (made C-Itoch).  I had to switch when I bought a 7100/66 which used the PowerPC processor instead of the 68030 processors. Then I had a HP DJ 650cse which used a Black Cartridge only. No color. I had to change again When I bought my G4-500. I am still using it today. Its the best printer I've had so far. I fear when I buy a new Intel Mac, and comes with X.6 (Snow Leopard) I will have to swap again. I've seen the new HP DeskJets and the won't last as long this one.  They look like cheap toys and (gulp!) they use heads built like in epson not the Cartridges.  The Cartridges were more expensive. But each time you bought one you got a new set of print heads. No longer.

  • PDFs from Adobe Acrobat Pro not printing with Yosemite

    I am unable to print PDFs from Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.09 since installing Yosemite 10.10. I have been check-marking "print as image," which worked previous to Yosemite.
    I am now printing via the Apple Preview, but despite selecting 1 copy, it is printing 10 of everything.

    Hi,
    IO must say, it seems to work now without me having to tick the Print as Image box.
    This is my version:
    Architecture: i386
    Build: 11.0.9.29
    AGM: 4.28.138
    CoolType: 5.11.136

  • Acrobat Pro 8 Print queue error, but pdf is created fine...

    I'm running xp pro, and acrobat pro 8, every time I try to print a pdf, I get an error with the print queue although it still makes a pdf every time! I've tried the repair tool in acrobat and also uninstall/reinstall but I get the same deal every time.
    Its more an annoyance than anything as I still get the pdf files but I'm thinking something must be wrong to throw up an error every single time!
    Any help would be good :)

    Alternatively, look at using digital signatures and the security
    policies. This method ensures that only the person with the matching
    certificate can open the file and have specific options ...
    It would involve swapping digital ID files but once set-up, it's very
    powerful ... just uses Acrobat 8 and even Reader ..

  • Acrobat Pro resizing print pages

    I need to resize a bi-tonal 600 DPI PDF image only file by 80% of original size.
    When I process this file it turns the pages into grey scale pages. How do I turn this off and just keep the image as bi-tonal.

  • Word 2010x64 to PDF using Acrobat Pro XI: Print shows box with ? inside.

    System: Windows 7 SP1 X64
    Adobe: Acrobat XI Pro
    Office: Office 2010 x64
    On multiple systems, I creating a document with standard text and font and then saved as or printed as a PDF. This creates a normal PDF with no visable issues. Problem arrises when printing the newly created PDF. All PDFs converted from Word print with question marks inside squares. There is no symbols evident on the Word document, created PDF or in print preview. All formatting Markups have been disabled in Word as well. Any ideas as to a work around or fix? See below images for example.
    Word Document: Scan of Printed PDF:

    We are having exactly the same issue as described above.
    Did this ever get answered?
    We are using:
    Acrobat 11.0.3
    Word 2010 (V 14.0.7015.1000 32-bit)
    MS Office Home and Business 2010 SP2
    Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit
    The problem seems to occur only when, in Word, we use File - Print - Printer Adobe PDF, email the resulting PDF file to another office, and then printout on a Toshiba Studio 2330c printer.
    If we print the file locally to a Toshiba Studio 2550c printer then it prints ok.
    It also prints ok if we, in Word we use the Acrobat tab, click Create PDF, email the resulting PDF file to another office, and then printout on the same Toshiba Studio 2330c printer.
    Any ideas?

  • Windows 7(x64) -- Acrobat Pro and Print to PDF Printer: Can I hide the Progress window?

  • Acrobat Pro 9 - Conversion Error from Word 2007

    I do not want to hijack the thread or question raised by another poster a short time ago but I cannot figure out how to correct the below.
    Office 2007 fully updated
    Vista 32-bit
    Acrobat Pro 9.3.4
    I have to provide data for someone else to assemble and publish and have been attempting to convert some Word documents nearly full of tables to press quality .pdf.  Whenever I try the conversion, Acrobat Pro seems to re-center the tables both horizontally and vertically forcing the misalignment of the rows of data although any repeating headers remain properly placed.  I can even see the table shift downward slightly when using the Acrobat conversion macro within Word.  It may be adjusting the margins instead of re-centering.
    I have tried using the macro within Word 2007, Create PDF within Acrobat Pro and Print to PDF as well as tweaking some of the settings such as lowering resolution and turned off unused settings such as enable fast web view, etc.  The glitch also occurs with High Quality Print.  Standard used to work but after the update to 9.3.4 that conversion shows the same problem.  I even tried saving in Word 97-2003 format with the same results.
    The documents in question do have custom page sizes and margins but do not use any abnormal fonts.  I have tried changing the margins but the conversion to .pdf still changes the information and/or magins as described above.  Row height seems to be correctly maintained.
    I realize that a knowledgeable user can export the .pdf back into Word or other program but am trying to make it more difficult for someone to edit information which has always had extremely negative consequences in terms of data organization, layout and even integrity.
    There has to be something really silly that I am overlooking.
    Thank You

    Thanks Bill.
    Sorry for the delay, Verizon dumped its DSL +service to Frontier so we had one of the bi-weekly extended outages.
    No changes occurred when I changed the default printer to Adobe PDF.  All of my printers are new enough so that they can handle the current margins so I do not think that they is a problem there but changing the default as suggested by you and Michael eliminates that as the source.
    I had previously been able to convert using the built-in converter in Word but was unsure whether or not the result would be press quality and was unable to find this information in my searches.  I retested this and conversion using Word’s built-in converter works without a problem.
    The conversion using Combine Miles > Merge Into A Single PDF also works without a problem with the highest quality setting.  It took several hours to run but I guess or assume that it was because of the number of tags as this is a quick setting and therefore I could not disable the tagging which is not needed in this case.
    I was also able to convert the same file which had been saved from Word 2007 into the 1997-2003 format as described above but the same problem came up when using the Acrobat macro and Create PDF from File.  I had even created a modified press quality settings to modify settings like disabling autorotate, Object Level Compression, changed the binding option, lowered resolution, bumping the format up to PDF 1.7, etc., but all produce the same result.  I have tried changing the document margins in case the conversion process rounded these but all produce the same artifact/problem except when I use Combine Files or the converter built into Word.

  • Duplex by default - Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 11.0.10 on a Mac running OS X 10.10.1 with a latest updates installed. I would like to make Adobe Acrobat Pro to print double sided (Duplex) by default. In a printing dialog there is a checkmark called "Print on both sides of paper" which does the trick, but only temporary. I have to check this option each and every time I want to print duplex.
    What I tried is to edit preferences file located in /user/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist and added key "DuplexMode" under  "AVGeneral" and I didn't worked. I did some research online and I found out that previous versions of Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader had no problems with defaulting Duplex option, I even installed Adobe Reader 10.1.2 myself to try and it worked like a charm. Please let me know how can I default Duplex printing on a newest version of Adobe Acrobat? It seem like a bug to me, if it is, let me know when can I expect a software update to fix this? Thank you

    I got the precise same problem. I have wasted so much paper by forgetting to click the double-sided, and I just want it to be default.
    I have a brand new computer using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 11.0.10 on a Mac running OS X 10.10.2 with a latest updates installed.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard -vs- Adobe Acrobat Pro (for large PDF files)

    I need to make a PDF from approximately 600 photos. Is the application Adobe Acrobat Standard competent to achieve this task? Or is it preferable to purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro and why?

    Neither has particular limits relevant to this.
    If you are making for professional publishing, Acrobat Pro contains print production tools.
    However, be aware that YOU DO NOT LAY OUT DOCUMENTS OR MAKE BOOKS IN ACROBAT. Sorry to be emphatic, but some people have received the view that it replaces Word, InDesign, Publisher or whatever. It doesn't.

  • Acrobat Pro 8.0 CS3 - PDF file print in Mac OS 10.5.8 fixed!

    Since upgrade from version 7.0, Acrobat Pro PDF 8.0 printer kept pausing and wouldn't print document.
    I previously had same trouble with the Acrobat PDF 7.0 printer, but eventually got that to work with a command entered via terminal mode:
    Adobe PDF print (OS 10.5.6) work-around using UNIX command entered via the Terminal;
    In Terminal type the following if you are using Acrobat 7.x:
    sudo chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf700
    Plan A for today: Tried same thing for v. 8.0;
    In Terminal type the following if you are using Acrobat 8.x:
    sudo chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf800
    This didn't work, so went to Plan B;
    The other  suggested approach is to remove various PDF printer library files and then follow with the Adobe "repair" function.
    Remove following files and then "Repair" from Adobe menu;
    /Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/AdobePDFPDE800.plugin
    /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF8.ppd
    ~/Library/Printers/Adobe PDF 8.0.app
    /private/etc/cups/ppd/AdobePDF8.ppd
    /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf800
    This didn't work before, so went to Plan C;
    I looked through all discussion threads again, a few mentioned installing latest update to Acrobat Pro 8 ... I had already done that, or so I thought ... I went again to update menu command within Acrobat, and it plainly reported that "Adobe doesn't have any updates at this time" just as it had before.
    I then compared my installed rev. version vs. the latest updates available for manual download, and found I was several behind.
    I then manually installed each one in sequence and towards the end of the process, Acrobat opened a pop-up window telling me there were updates available, and asked if I wanted to install them. Go figure, one of the manual updates fixed the menu updater not working correctly. Not sure which one, but I eventually landed at version 8.3.1. I repeated "Plan B", and now the PDF printer is working again.
    I guess with trial & error, even a blind squirrel will find a nut ...

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro text box not printing and is hidden under box highlight.

    Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.13.  I am completing a form with text box throughout the document. I can no get the text box to printing and the text is hidden under box highlight.  I have tried printing with the print feature 'Comments & Forms/ Document and Markups' with no luck.

    It's doing that because you have field highlighting enabled. YOu can either turn it off or make the field read-only (if it's only used for display and not entry).
