Acrobat stopped working as printer facility

Running Acro 6.0 on Dell Latitude D600 with XP Pro.
The Acrobat printer doesn't show up either in the printers and faxes system resource or in the print menu of any application..
When I run Acrobat and pull down the file menu to create PDF from file, and attempt to open my Excel file from the OpenDoc box, I get a message entitled "Create Adobe PDF" saying, "Unable to find 'Adobe PDF' resource files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?"
Doesn't help.
Started from scratch, running the install disk and get:
Warning 20255. Adobe Acrobat 6.0 setup was unable to create a new item: Adobe PDF port_printer. The Adobe PDF printer may be unavailable. GetLastError: The data area passed to a system call...
What's up? WHat can i do next? THANKS

Sometimes you can install over the current version. Be sure you keep your CD and the key code around for the long term! If you need to reinstall (i.e., the install over top does not work), then uninstall and also delete the Adobe folder. That is sometimes useful to clean things up. You may also need to use the Registry Cleanup utility from MicroSoft. Then install the fresh copy. In case there may be registration issues, you may want to deactivate the copy first so there is not a count sitting at Adobe that you need to deal with. I would hope the uninstall would take care of that, but better safe than sorry.

because once a month acrobat stops working and I have to reinstall

Hi Aleotto,
When you say Acrobat stops working then what does exactly happen?
Does it nit launch at all? Do you get any error messages?
What if you try to repair Acrobat installation instead of uninstalling and reinstalling?
Have you checked in a new Admin account and noted the behavior?
Try turning off any Antivirus software you have or add acrobat to its exception list and check.
Regards,

"remote desktop connection has stopped working" When printing from remote desktop connection

I have been having a issue when using a windows 7 machine. I have Remote Desktop to a session on Windows2008 R2, I am using the local printer resources to redirect the printing. However everytime i try to print it crashes the remote desktop application.
Gives me "remote desktop connection has stopped working." I have 4 other computers connected and printing with no issues what so ever. This only happens when i print. It does print by the way just the application crashes.
-I have also updated the printer drivers to newest possible thru the manufactorer website. The printer is a Brother MFC-8890DW. Windows 2008 R2 is up to date for the RDS server. 3 other machines are able to Remote in and print. The user is able to print using
diffrent machines just not the Windows 7 machine.

Hi,
Happy to hear that you resolved your issue. For another issue which you are facing here trying to provide some suggestion.
As you have commented that you are facing issue with second screen resolution on wide screen. The setting which I am suggesting can only applies when you are using multi-monitor Remote Desktop connections. If you are making Connections using a single
monitor do not use this setting.
So for this you can try to apply “Limit maximum display resolution” setting in group policy, where you can mention the width & height for the screen to display. The setting can be applied on below mentioned
path.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment
Meanwhile sharing article with you for more information.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working - when printing

I get the message “Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working” regularly when I try to print a Photoshop document. I end up having to recreate the document which usually then prints even though I have just dragged the layers across. How can I resolve this?

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

Acrobat stops working when multiple PDFs are opened together, is this a bug?

Not sure this is the correct thread but then none of the threads are obviously the correct place for this question. I am running W7 last updated a week ago so it should be running all the correct progs and drivers. Acrobat XI Pro is Version 11.0.10, I have thought about updating to DC but I'm about to transfer the progs to my portable as I travel widely and don't currently see the point.
I have just started to notice that if I drag a single file from file manager to an open Acrobat window it opens without error but when I highlight more than one file and drag them across they open, then while the final file is displaying itself on the screen Acrobat throws a wobbly and stops working. Is this a known bug? Happens every time I open 2 files. Windows has been restarted from scratch and it still happens. Happens whether I highlight the files in file manager then <right click> Open With Adobe Acrobat XI or whether I drag the files across to an open window. Happens whether Acrobat is already open or when it is closed. Happens with more than 2 files as well.
I have noticed that file manager does take a while to display a preview of the file when the preview pane is open and thought that it might be the preview pane that is causing problems. I then closed the preview pane and opened 3 files without a problem, then opened 8 files at the same time and the programme fell apart again. Could be to do with the Microsoft File Manager but I'm interested to know if this is a common problem or not? I did a search on file opening errors in the Acrobat forum without success so am assuming it is unusual.

Thanks, seems to solve some of the problem, perhaps I need to uncheck more in this dialogue box... May be 'a' correct answer but not the complete solution. Anyway if all I need to do is uncheck a choice in a dialogue box then it must be a bug or driver incompatability as there seems to be no reason why I shouldn't be able to use 2D graphics acceleration.
Works if you highlight several PDFs in File Manager and then right click and 'Open with Adobe Acrobat', the error still occurs if I drag these files into an open instance of Acrobat beyond two files. Also seems to be more of a problem if one of the files is a 'colour document ' or 'greyscale document' scanned by Acrobat itself.

Will Reader and Acrobat stop working inside Chrome when google blocks NPAPI extensions

Google chrome developers are making two changes to help stop malicious plugins: one is to only allow extensions downloaded from the app store, and another is to disallow NPAPI extensions altogether.
http://blog.chromium.org/2013/11/protecting-windows-users-from-malicious.html
http://blog.chromium.org/2013/09/saying-goodbye-to-our-old-friend-npapi.html
I presume the current Acrobat integration uses NPAPI - does this mean that Acrobat and Reader will soon stop working in Chrome altogether?
-- Tim

it seems to me like you're having a different problem - this shouldn't be broken at the moment (it works for me fine) and the fact that you can get it working by fiddling with the settings says to me that something else is going on with your PC. maybe you could reinstall acrobat and/or chrome?

After opening and closing 19-20 PDFs in 8.1.6 Acrobat stops working

I have just started getting Acrobat errors '..has stopped working' after opening 19-20 PDFs (individually opening and closing each separately) which causes Acrobat to stop working and displaying PDFs, even any of the 19-20 PDFs, that opened fine beforehand, stop opening. Only by restarting Windows, does it seem to clear this error. I have maintained my updates and patches, on both my Acrobat Professional and Reader 8.1.6.
I am Running Windows XP SP2, with 4Gbs or Memory, and no other programs except for my MS outlook 2007 running. I have MS Office 2007 Professional installed. Something also from Acrobat is interferring with Outlook. Is there an add-on, automatically installed in Outlook for PDF previews? I suspect it might have something to do with the aspect of Acrobat causing the errors and crashing of Acrobat, but I am only guessing. I have also run Antivrus scans on all my PDFs and found no problems with them.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your suggestion. I did uninstall both, and reinstall Pro, and restarted my system. However, that did not solve my problem. Thank you though.
Sincerely
John M. Shaw

Why does cs5 stop working when printing

At my wits end...CS6 continually Stops working when I attempt to print to a Ricoh printer...all ok before upgrade from XP...drivers appear ok and have been reloaded.

Which one is it? Title of your post says CS5, body of message says CS6.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

After updating adobe acrobat stop working

What OS and version of Acrobat?

Network shared printers stop working; default printer changes

Hello,
Have an odd printing issue that seems to be ongoing and am trying to come up with a good solution or fix for it.
We have an environment that has a Windows 2012R2 Print Server, that is sharing various printers which are also set to List in Directory. Some of the printers are HP and are using the HP Universal driver which shows as "True" for Packaged in
the print management window, and some of the printers are Canon which are using device specific drivers and show as "False" for Packaged. My understanding is that the packaged attribute simply indicates that Point and Print can then download
the driver and install/use it without any security prompts whereas if it is not Packaged, then the driver must be installed on the local server/workstation by an Administrator. We have Group Policy defined such that all Point and Print restrictions are
Disabled.
We then have multiple Remote Desktop Session Hosts based on Server 2008R2 (x64). Users connect to these hosts via thin clients (Wyse) and there is a domain login script using KiXtart that creates printer connections to the shared printers using an address
of \\printserver\printername. We also set the default printer via the login script each time depending on user's group membership.
Each part of this setup is on it's own routed VLAN subnet, so the Print Server is on 192.168.0.x/24, RDSHs are on 192.168.1.x/24 and the printers themselves are on 192.168.2.x/24. There is no firewall or other restrictions between the subnets, all traffic
is allowed to flow.
The issue we are having is two parts, the first is the larger issue, but both are a pain:
1) Randomly (no discernible pattern/reason/timeframe), some Canon printers will stop appearing in Print dialog boxes from applications when a user tries to print. It only seems to happen on the Canon printers. The printer will still show in Control
Panel -> Devices and Printers, but when you right click it and try to go to Printer Properties or view any of the printer settings, you'll get an error saying the printer is not accessible/valid. I have also tried a WMI query for "select * from
win32_printer" and the printer will not be returned. To temporarily fix it, we right click the printer, and choose to remove it and then go through the wizard to re-add the same printer from the directory again. That will correct it and the
user can print again, view all properties, etc. This doesn't happen to every user but happens sporadically and once it happens to a user it seems to pop up once every week or two.
Now, we have made a change and installed the Canon printers in question locally on the Remote Desktop Session Hosts themselves using TCP/IP ports so that each user logging into the session host will see all of the printers. This also seems to have resolved
this issue. So it leads me to think there is some sort of timeout or connection getting dropped, but for no real apparent reason. This is all on a virtualized platform and so the Print Server and Session Hosts have very reliable LAN connections
amongst themselves. And further, we never see the issue with the HP printers, they seem to maintain their stability at all times.
2) The other issue we are seeing is that from time to time the default printer setting changes or vanishes altogether. It doesn't happen to every user but once it does happen it happens regularly (multiple times a day). This happens even when using
the locally mapped TCP/IP printer or when using the network print server. From what I have read and found, this generally seems to be a known issue regarding redirected client printers and some GP settings related thereto. But we aren't redirecting
any local client printers, everything is network based/shared.
In digging into these two issues I have run across the following error we get regularly in the PrintService Event Viewer log:
The print spooler failed to import the printer driver that was downloaded from \\printserver\print$\x64\PCC\ntprint.inf_amd64_59246c3ac1bd3f2a.cab into the driver store for driver Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver. Error code= 800f024b.
This can occur if there is a problem with the driver or the digital signature of the driver.
And digging further into that seems to be that their was an error validating one of the DLL files as seen at the following thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/9fe186e4-52f7-4552-a223-b2320cfc9ed5/driver-install-semi-fails-with-800f024b?forum=winserverprint
We get the exact same error that is shown there UNISRV.DLL being flagged as invalid, and have applied the hotfix indicated in KB2701894.
I am not sure the above error is realted to the issues at hand, but figured it is a good starting point to eliminate it as a potential cause of the issue.
Any input or suggestions on what to do to diagnose or further resolve this would be greatly appreciated!

Alan, I'm getting this error 600 in my company. Is there any fix for this problem?
After installing KB2919355 on Windows 2012 R2, when I try to map a shared printer I receive the following error message: A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this print queue. Please contact your system administrator.
If I uninstall the patch the shared printer maps correctly.
I also notice that if I copy the driver \\server\print$\x64\PCC\ntprint.inf_amd64_a7ac65d1b7714fb1.cab
from a Windows 2012 R2 before applying KB2919355 to the server that has the patch applyed (and rename it), I can map the printer.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for that?
