Acrobat Pro 9 PDF Printer Hangs when printing Test Page (Checking Fonts)

I have upgraded to CS5 and acrobat pro 9....
When I print a test page from the PDF printer it starts fine but then hangs when checking fonts?!?!
I have removed the software and reinstalled twice now and the same occurs...
Any advice anyone?

Bernd,
thanks for the input... It helped a lot!
I tracked down a few corrupt fonts and now things seem much better but not quite perfect yet....
Distiller now opens fine but when I ran the test page from the PDF printer I got the follwoing error in the log file:
Does it give any clues?
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
500
/l
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

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 Pro 9 pdf Printer issue

Hello! Hope everyone is having a great day!
I have a small issue with the 9.0 printer. It is part of my print cue, can print to it, the print dialogue says that the job is completed, but the file never shows up.
I am running a MacBook with OSX 10.5.8 and have Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.1.3.
Any ideas would be helpful. My apologies if I did not provide enough information to do so! Cheers.
Jeremy

If you have X.5.8. look here:
I've blacked out my computer identity. This is based on on my OSX.4.11 Setup.
In reading up on Snow Leopard I 've read in MacWorld and what was Mac Addict that lots of things have been changed moved around or renamed in Snow Leopard. So Your milage may vary.
As for Getting back the PDF Printer in Snow Leopard. Because of the new Security system in Snow Leopard, as the saying goes it ain't going to happen.

Acrobat Pro XI PDF Printer を利用したPDF作成でエラーダイアログを表示させない方法はあるか」

お世話になっております。
現在、バッチからプリントコマンドを実行して、PDF ファイルを作成するプログラムを検討しています。
実際にインストールして実行を確認していたところ、Acrobat 側で上書きエラーなどの出力エラーが
発生した時にエラーダイアログが表示されてしまいます。
バッチプログラムですので、エラーダイアログが出しまうと単純にはその画面を閉じる方法がありませんので、
処理が待ち状態で止まってしまいます。
この状況を避けるために、エラーダイアログを出さない方法を探しているのですが、コミュニティや
ドキュメントからでは見つけることができませんでした。
そこで以下の2点に関してお教えいただけないでしょうか。
①エラーダイアログを出さない方法はないのでしょうか
②エラーダイアログを出さない方法がない場合、プログラム側からダイアログを閉じる簡単な方法はあるのでしょうか
現在想定している環境は以下の通りです。
OS　　　：Windows Server 2012
Acrobat：Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
その他　：バッチからの印刷は、バッチ⇒パッケージ⇒PDF Printer のように、間にパッケージソフトが挟まるため、
　　　　　　プログラムなどの組み込みができません
以上、よろしくお願いします。

個々のコマンドにつきましてはサポートを行わせていただいておりませんが、参考までに以下のURLの公開文書をご案内させていただきます。

Acrobat Pro 10.1.13 Hangs when sending for shared review

Hi all,
The company where I work has recently upgraded from Design Standard CS3 to CS6. While this has fixed the numerous problems with Indesign, Acrobat's shared reviews still give me trouble.
In the past if i tried to do a shared review and send the emails from within acrobat, it would crash. I was resigned to a lifetime of never using this feature and saving the files to my hard drive and then manually sending the email with a link.
After the installation of Acrobat 10.1.3, there is a new problem.
I can create a shared review and send the emails through acrobat but it never completes the sending. The odd thing is, it does make the review file, copy it to the correct location and sends the email. The only way to get out of Acrobat is to make it crash. It gets stuck at the screen below.
This is marginally better than what i use to use as it at least sends the email but it isnt ideal.
I have tried different network locations with different length directory names and also the root directory, but i get the same result. Only once has it done it without a problem.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution?

Everyone else has the same problem with sending review emails in Acrobat.
Do you mean an Adobe profile or Windows 7 User Profile?

How: MS Word to .pdf by Command P, hitting the PDF button, and then the button for "save as Adobe pdf"
I didn't have this problem at all on prior versions of Adobe on my PC.   This isn't a Mac attack, is it?

Adobe PDF printer no output. Did 'Print Test Page', but never got out of queue (Acrobat X Pro;Win 7)

I'm using Acrobat X Pro in Windows 7 environment. At Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Devices and Printers, I did a 'Print Test Page' when I right-clicked on the Adobe Printer icon and clicked Printer properties. The 'Save PDF File As' prompt came up and I entered the filename and chose the folder location. Next, I clicked the 'Save' button in the prompt.
I could not locate the pdf file at the folder I had designated the test page to be saved to. So I checked the printer queue. The test page was still in the queue, but nothing was happening. What do I need to do to rectify this problem? Thank you very much.

I figured it out.
Adobe PDF cannot parse the quotes in any title that firfox passes to it.
So if your page has a " in it. The PDF printer does not parse " right.

When I print in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, it prints reversed..

Only recently when I try to print in Acrobat Pro 9, it prints backwards/reversed.. like a mirror. It shows correct on the page, but when it's printed it's reversed. I must have changed a setting by accident but can't find the issue. Possibly in Adobe Illustrator when I tried to change the direction of an image. It only prints like this in Acrobat.. no other application.

Hi hollym23446293,
What are you printing to? Have you checked for a "Flip Horizontally" option (or similar) option in the Print dialog box? Its location will vary by printer, but it's often in the Layout settings.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.

Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am having problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD. Printing other PDF created by MS Word works well. Had a similar problem in an earlier version of Pro. The fix I figure out then was to print the PDF file as another PDF. Using the second PDF to print to a plotter typically worked. It does not work for Adoabe Acrobat Pro XI.

Hi presottom
Please refer ; http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-pdf-printing-acrobat-reader.html

Let us know more details about it to help you better ?
What is the OS ?
is there any error message , etc .. ?

Acrobat 9's PDF Printer prints pages individually (W7x64)

Hello,
I have a user that tries to print a document using Acrobat 9's PDF Printer. Despite specifying to print the whole document, the printer prompts a save location for each page of the document. This is done from Excel 2010 Pro Plus with the OS Windows 7 Enterprise x64 edition.
So basically, what happens is that the printer makes a file for each page of the document.

What version of Acrobat 9?

Acrobat Help | Basic PDF printing tasks

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/basic-pdf-printing-tasks.html

The idea of re-sorting multiple pages so they appear in the correct order when printed on saddle-stitched or stapled pager is called imposition. Neither Adobe Reader nor Adobe Acrobat will do it for you automatically.
Often if your printer has double-sided capability the manufacturer's driver software will have an option that handles imposition for you. If so it can be accessed through the Advanced button on the print dialog and that would work in both Reader and Acrobat just the same.
Failing that, using Acrobat there are two options - either rearrange the pages by hand (drag and drop in the page navigation sidebar) or use a plugin such as Quite Imposing that will also handle things like margin adjustments and rotating pages to fit portrait<>landscape etc.

I use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.08) When performing "Save as" "Reduced file size pdf" Adobe processes for a while then completely stops, and has to close down. Just started doing that today.

I have Windows 8.1, and when I right click on the Windows flag (bottom left), the menu gives me a "Search" option. When I enter "%temp%", it goes to " "my username"/ appdata/temp" which is a list of file 1718 file folders. Many are empty but I did a small sample. Is that the right place to delete? I tried Windows- Disk Clean, but that did not help.

Problems with opening Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files

Hi. We use Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to convert our product documentation Word files into PDFs. During the last weeks our customers report more and more problems with opening these files. We usually deliver those on a DVD with Acrobat Reader 5 or another older version. (Please don't ask me why we're still on these old versions!) Did anyone experience similar problems with Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files and older versions of the Acrobat Reader? Does Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 work smoothly with the newest Acrobat Reader 9.1 download?
Please post your comments. Thx a lot - Kay

I would recommend distributing higher version of Reader as version 5 is just too old but looks like you can't go there.
Acrobat 9 PDFMaker and Adobe PDF printers by default create PDF 1.5 compaible files. PDF 1.5 compatible files can be opened only in Acrobat 6 and above. That's probably the reason why your customers can't see the contents.
What you can do is to change your conversion settings to produce PDF 1.4 compatible files:
- In Word, select Acrobat tab or Adobe PDF menu (depending on your version of Word), select Settings
- Select "advanced settings" in the dialog that comes up
- Choose compatibility as "Acrobat 5", PDF 1.4
IF you print to Adobe PDF printer, you'll find a similar setting in the print dialog.

Acrobat Pro XI scans both sides (blank backs of pages) when pre-configured to scan front side only

Acrobat Pro XI scans both sides (blank backs of pages) when pre-configured to scan front side only; using Brother MFC 9840CDW and Windows 8 (was not a problem with previous Acrobat version). Help, please?

Update: No solution has been discovered; and, I did check the Brother settings (since it allows two-sided printing) - nothing awry there. Acrobat behaves normally when scanning from the flatbed (as opposed to the doc feeder). Using Acrobat to delete every other page (blank ones) after scanning is not a viable option. Please, any thoughts on this issue?

Hi,
Are you facing the issue with any pdf file?
Please try updating Acrobat to 11.0.7 and check.
You might also want to repair Acrobat and see.
