Acrobat Pro X Forgets Print Dialogue Settings

We have recently upgraded our office computers from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to Adobe Acrobat Pro X with CS5.5.
Previously with version 9, whenever we would set page setup and print settings, it would print, and then, if we were to go back into the print dialogue to reprint a document, it would remember the selected printer, page size, print settings (such as tray number, duplex etc.).
However, since upgrading, Acrobat Pro X seems to forget the settings. For example, when we click on print, it will print as expected, however if I go to reprint the document I have to select all settings, including paper size again.
This is an annoyance, as we are a print business and this feature helps speed up our workflow, especially when printing multiple documents at once.
After a discussion with a Live Adobe representative, they were unable to offer any advice.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, and is annoyed by it? If so, do you have any solutions to fix this issue?
Many thanks.

Thank you for your post.
The new version certainly did not make it easy. I just started turning everything I could find off and it eventually stopped - I am not sure which combination of switches it was.
The tool bar arrangement is still perplexing. I can't imagine that Adobe in it's infinite wisdom, would disable something as basic as tool bar customization, however I am still unable to move around the toolbars. In the previous Pro version, you could move evrything around to suit your needs.
I can add or subtract specific items, however they always show up in the exact same order no matter how I turn them off or on. The default tool bar order is definitely not efficient. (Whoever picked the tool bar evidently does not use Acrobat).
If anyone knows more about this, I would be glad to hear from them.

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 9 Lion Printer Error

My MacBook Pro came with Lion already installed. I installed a new copy of Acrobat Pro 9 and it worked fine... including printing to both my Canon Pixma and Brother Laser printers. I installed Lion 7.1.2 update and when I tried to print an Acrobat file I received an error message with both printers in the printer dialogue box. Example below. When I click the resume printer arrow there is a momentary shift to where the doc should print but then it goes back to the error state. I cannot print an Acrobat file from either the File>Print menu or internal Acrobat>Print. Printers work fine with all other applications.
I reinstalled OS X 7.1 and Acrobat again printed without a problem. I had to reinstall 7.1 (don't remember why I did THAT!) and Acrobat stopped pringting again! I have reinstalled Acrobat several times as well as OS X 7.1 but Acrobat will not print. Everything else in Acrobat works. I just upgraded to Acrobat Pro 9.2 but it does not print. I guess I could try OS X 7.2 again. Any suggestions?

Oooops. Screen shot of the printer dialogue box did not print. Sorry abou that!!!

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.

Adobe Acrobat Pro failed to print pdf file

I downloaded adobe acrobat pro and started the 30 trial version just a few minutes ago.
I could open files through adobe acrobat and convert word files to pdf, but when i tried converting a publisher file it could not go through. An error popped up which read "Adobe PDF printer failed to print pdf file".
The publisher file I am hoping to convert to pdf is a 21 page panorama article. It contains lots of images and a variety of font types.
I do not know other alternatives for solving this issue.
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Thank you!
Erik

It seems to be that Adobe Acrobat virtual printer is not properly installed on your PC or you are not selecting Adobe PDF printer to print PDF document. Checkout the below screen shot to see proper printer.
After trying this if you have same problem you may trt some other virtual printer that easily convert or print any file as PDF, you may checkout here.

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 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:

/l
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

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.

Acrobat Pro 9.0 printing to Canon ImageRunner 3220 prints only first page of multi-page documents?

We just got the new CS4 and with the Acrobat Pro 9.0 install, we cannot seem to print multi-page documents. Only the first page comes through, and the queue clears as though the document's been fully printed.
We are running Windows XP Pro SP3, and the printer is the Canon ImageRunner irC3220.
I do not want to use the "Print as Image" option, as I don't want to rasterize the file before sending it to the printer. It's an important document and it's imperative that it is printed at high quality.
We had no problems printing with Acrobat 8.
I've seen old posts regarding this issue, but couldn't find anything newer that might have had an updated solution.
Thank you in advance!! any help would be sooo appreciated right now!

Great! Many thanks
Is there actually a kind of marketplace for Javascipts for Adobe Acrobat Pro somewhere? ...
Really useful!

Acrobat Pro 8 Not Printing (Prints from other Apps)

Hello,
I have a user who is having a problem printing from Acrobat Pro v8.1.3. The program is up-to-date as I type this. The problem is that when a print is sent to the printer, the print shows up in the queue, exits the queue, but does not print from the printer. I have verified that I can print a test page from Mac OS X 10.5.8, and also I can print the PDF from the Preview application in Mac OS X. I have tried repairing the installation both unchecking the optional components and re-checking them, and restarting the machine to no avail. Any help on this? I have re-installed the printer drivers as well, and have tried printing via IPP, Bonjour and Appletalk, all with the same result. I am really beginning to think this is a problem with the software and short of a re-install, I don't know how else to fix. I would like to avoid re-installing as this will not tell me what is causing the problem. Thank you for your time and patience reading this.

Yes, there is the pdf printer option when I try to print. The AcroTray starts to run in the background and then just stops. I’m using Windows 7 and CS4 Acrobat Pro 9.0. I tried to update it but it gave me an error message and didn’t update.
Some background – my hard drive crashed and I had to do a reinstall. The Adobe Suite was problematic, but after many, many phone calls I was finally able to get it installed. Everything works fine except the Acrobat.

Can I re-scale scanned documents in Acrobat Pro (can't print drawings to correct scale)

I have several scanned drawings of my house (originals is pre-CAD) that when printed instead of e.g. 1:400 is 1:330 and 1:100 is 1:130 and similar. This "odd" scale is ok for me personally but not the people at the building inspection department that need to approve the small updates I've done.
So it would be good to be able to say in a document that this distance should be Xmm when printed.
The method I'm using now is to use custom scale when printing e.g. choose 87% instead of 100% but this method is very paper and time consuming for several drawings with slightly different scale problems. And I would like to correct this in these pdf-drawings so I don't have to bother with this in the future.
Is there a way to handle this?

Hi All,
Was this every resolved and if so how was it done?
I am having the exact same problem. I know it is a problem within the user account. I have removed all preference files, application support files, removed and added printers. There are no plugins. Other user accounts can print from Adobe Reader fine. I have already migrated my user data only to another user account. Issue was resolved for a month or two but came back again. I know creating a new user account ultimately does not resolve this issue. Please help?

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 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 ....

Acrobat Pro 9.3 | Print Error

I am trying to print a pdf file to a Xerox Phaser 8560
DT color printer. When I select "Properties" on the print managemnt screen,
I get the following error:
"Adobe Acrobat 9.3 has stopped working".
Then I must quit out. I have no problem accessing the "Properties" when I have selected a B&W printer, just the color printer.
Is there a patch I need or something else? My company just upgraded to Windows 7 and MS Office 10.

I don't know why you are having the problem but
1) the current version of Acrobat 9 is 9.4.2, you should update.
2) this isn't a product support forum. You should contact them for help.
