Acrobat X Pro 10.0.1 Update - Printer Errors?

Hi, all.
I was wondering if anyone else out there had noticed a problem similar to the one I now see...
I recently updated from Acrobat Pro X 10.0 to 10.0.1 (Received notification of update availability 2/8/2011), and from that point on, anytime I print to the Adobe PDF printer (such as from Word, etc.), I get one of those errors in my task tray with the picture of the printer with a red question mark over it, saying "This Document Failed to Print" even though the document is successfully converted and opens in Acrobat Pro...  I can view the file in Acrobat Pro, the file exists in the destination where I directed it to be saved, but the printer shows that error.  In reality, there doesn't seem to BE an error, but it is annoying to have to open the Adobe PDF printer and "cancel" out the document with the "Error - Printing" status.
Not even sure how I did this, but somehow I interrupted one of my jobs, and it came up with this log:
The operation completed successfully.
Pipe:\\.\pipe\PMtoDistiller_ID_3:Microsoft Word - AVMA.doc
That, despite throwing the error...
I have uninstalled and re-installed, and I have attempted to re-do the update installation by downloading the .msp file in the Downloads section.  To no avail.
This problem surfaced only after the update.  No such occurrences prior to it.  Nothing else installed or uninstalled surrounding the appearance of this technical gaffe.
Any suggestions or feedback?  Has anyone else noticed this?
Thanks!
JL

I am running Win 7 x64 and I was able to find a solution for my configuration...at least for now. I suspect that the configuration might not matter as this seems to be related to the update deleting the PDF Printer or just the port it is assigned to. Not entirely sure if just the port is being deleted and the printer is then reassigned a default port of COM1 or if the PDF printer is deleted along with the port(s) and reinstalled but assigned to the wrong port.
I spent "some time" with tech support last night. Apparently they are aware of this problem but there wasn't any permanent solution yet. Long story short I  uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat X Pro from disk but did not install this 10.0.1 update. After doing so I noticed that the PDF printer port(s) that had been deleted during the original update were now back.
Before you do anything take a look at your installed PDF Printer and look at the printer properties. Check the port it is assigned to. If it says something like COM1 then that seems to be the problem.  Scroll down the entire list of ports to see if there is a port titled ""Documents\*.pdf" or "Desktop\*.pdf". On the outside chance you find such a port check the box next to it. If you see both options choose the one based on which default folder you want your PDF files to save to automatically (Desktop or Documents in my case...might be different in XP).
If you don't see them then uninstall and reinstall from disk but don't install the update if it comes up afterwards.I haven't been prompted about the update yet but I just did this last night.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Edna,
    It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X.  Choose Edit > Preferences > General.  Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu.  Click Apply, then OK.
    Restart your computer.  Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

  • Acrobat X Pro suddenly no Adobe PDF printer available within applications

    I have been using X Pro for 2 months following installation of CS5.5 Premium. I used to be able to print-to-file using the Adobe PDF printer in the print dialog box from within apps such as Word and Finale. Suddenly that option is absent from my print dialog box in all apps.

    Hi Bill,
    I'm SO glad I tried your HELP suggestion first because un- and re-installing was going to be my next step and I dreaded it, and now, given the info you provide below, it appears it was a good thing I didn't do it. Thanks for the further information. I keep a log to refer to when gremlins like this pop up and this is going into it ASAP!!!

    Great. We often hear of folks having uninstalled and reinstalled and problems not going away. The repair is the first line of defense if you have not been able to track down a problem. The last line is a reinstall. One of the problems with reinstalls is that folks do not clean up the system before the install. That clean up should include removal of all latent folder parts left by Acrobat and also running a registry cleaner (MS used to have one, but it is not longer available -- making CCleaner the typical cleanup). So if you have problems in the future, try to trouble shoot it and come to the forum if you need help. Sometimes, the repair is a quick fix, and lastly with no other answers do the reinstall--BUT with the cleanup along the way. Again, glad it worked for you.

  • Acrobat 9 pro 9.3.2 click printer properties deletes printer

    when using acrobat 9 pro 9.3.2 to print a document, and i select an HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer, clicking
    the "Properties" button does NOT bring up the properties window (so that i can select double-side
    d printing, for instance) and the printer is then deleted.  I can no
    longer print to that printer until i re-install it.  can anyone help?  thanks!

    Funny, I just found this tech note:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
    The Adobe PDF Printer is not available or is unusable in Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6). This situation is due to security features in Snow Leopard that disable the Adobe PDF Printer. Adobe Acrobat 9.1 Pro removes the Adobe PDF Printer and adds a new Save As Adobe PDF command. Customers using earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat in Snow Leopard cannot use the Adobe PDF Printer.
    Does this also affect Acrobat 8 then...?
    Best,
    Wolfgang

  • Acrobat 10 Pro: Unable to Install Updates After Virus Removed: Receive Error 1310 ?

    Acrobat 10 Pro: Unable to Install Updates After Virus Removed: Receive Error 1310 ?
    Attempted to re-install the original Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro from the disk provided with the purchase; and it has put me in a trial; and is requesting that I purchase the software I already paid for, two years ago.

    You can try a repair (may need to go to Control Panel>Programs & Features). A reinstall is a last resort, but if you go there be sure to uninstall from the control panel, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, and remove any part left of the Acrobat folder. Then reboot as the administrator and reinstall. Be sure to disable antivirus during the install.

  • Acrobat X Pro v10.1.9: Cannot print to Adobe PDF Printer (access is denied)

    Hello.
    Suddenly I was not able to print Office 2013 files / Autocad files / Internet Explorer pages directly to Adobe PDF Printer anymore on my WINDOWS 7 Ultimate x64 sp1 computer.
    I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat X Pro, but the issue was not resolved.
    Neither after updating to the latest version (10.1.9).
    When I try to print from any software (Office 2013 / AutoCAD 2012 / Others), are displayed two windows:
    a) the first one named "Printing (not responding)", with the information: "now printing the file..."
    b) the second one named "Save PDF File As", to where I do not have access to the filename fied to insert it neither to click the "cancel" button to abort the print dialog. It seems that this window is not active.
    I have to click on the red "X" button on the first window to shutdown the application. Here is the error dialog I got:
    Description:

    When I try to print a webpage in Internet Explorer using the same printer, I get an "Adobe PDF" window stating "Access is denied".
    Can anyone help me restoring this feature?

    The reinstall is typically the last ditch effort to do. The first step is Help>Repair and Help>Updates. As far as Office 2013, the PDF Maker of AA X is not compatible and you can only print. In your list of errors it showed a problem with AcroTray.exe. As a first step, go to the print and select print-to-file. The file will be a PS file (maybe with a PRN extension). Once the printer if finished, open the file in Distiller to complete the process. If that is successful, then the problem is with AcroTray. Check your running tasks to be sure AcroTray is indeed running. If not, that is likely the problem. If it is, then restart it (it is located in the Acrobat folder). AcroTray provides the interface between the PS creation and Distiller to automate the process of creating the PDF.

  • Acrobat XI pro doesn't create a printer

    Hi, after installation of Acrobat XI pro there is no printer created. I'm using Windows XP SP 3.

    Is this system a 64-bit version? With XP, that was not common.
    Have you done any updates to AA XI? The updates may resolve the issue.
    You are looking for the "Adobe PDF" printer, aren't you?

  • Adobe Acrobat xi pro for mac (trial) PDF Printer Problem

    Thanks

    Hi Sailesh,
    If you're running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or 10.7 (Lion), Adobe PDF is replaced.
    See the following blog posting:

  • Problem with Acrobat X Pro 10.1.1 update (multiple installs)

    I updated my Acrobat X Pro to version 10.1.1 when first notified of the update. Since then I have been constantly bombarded with new updates are ready to install from the auto update downloader. I was fooled the first time when it re-installed the 10.1.1 update. In all I've now installed this same update at least 4 times trying to get rid of the update messages, but I'm still getting bombared with them. Something is wrong with this last update. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Anyone know how to stop this insanity? When I manually check for updates in Acrobat, it also says there are updates available. Thanks.

    Are you sure that Updater is trying to update Acrobat? What is the title of the Updater dialog?
    Do you have Reader installed? There is an issue with Updater where on the systems with 2 Readers of the same major versions, User gets prompted to update again.
    If you have 10.0.x Reader and 10.1.x Reader, you might be it.
    The fix is to uninstall all Readers and install latest one - should take about 20 minutes.
    If that does not help, search Forums for AdobeARM.exe and how to enable verbose logging for updater, than check for updates and provide AdobeARM.log file - I'll try to see what is wrong.
    Good luck.

  • While attempting to install Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.10) update, it stalls

    Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.00) said there was an update.
    So I clicked on it, downloaded it and have been attempting to install it.
    It goes through all the steps installing the update, until it gets to the "Status: Copying new files" and just stalls with "Time remaining: 37 seconds".
    I've also downloaded the update from the ftp site and tried with the same results.
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks

  • Acrobat X Pro launch gets Microsoft C++ Runtime error message

    My Acrobat X Pro no longer works. Every time I try to open a PDF document is get the following error message and Acrobat quits.
    I haven't seen any discussion of a fix for v.10
    Does anyone have a solution?

    David - Thanks for the reply. I eventually bought the piece of software recommended by Microsof ad that fixed THAT issue...I now have another issue woth Acrobat...it crashes every time I open a PDF document. initially, it was crashing only when I tried to print, but now it's with every PDF file. I have answered your questuions below:
    What OS are you running?  Please include any Service Packs that have been installed.  Win 7 64 bit
    Do you have any outstanding recommended or required updates from Windows pending? No
    Do you know if Acrobat has been updated to 10.1.2? No, running running 10.0.0.396
    Did Acrobat ever launch successfully? yes
    If so, what changed? running the SpeedMaxPC software recommended by Microsoft for the original problem. But the degradation was gradual...first I couyldn't preint then I couldn't open. I have Acrobat 10 on several other comouters and all run fine.

  • Acrobat X Pro does not open, gives fatal error - "Acrobat failed to send a DDE command"

    Acrobat X Pro does not open and gives fatal error - "Acrobat failed to send a DDE command"
    It either does the above or the application starts and is listed in the system processes but never physically opens on the desktop for viewing.

    AA 9 will not work for anything but the print function from WORD 2010. The only version of Acrobat that is compatible with OFFICE 2010 for PDF Maker is AA X. Thus, open WORD and print to the Adobe PDF printer. Then open the pdf in Acrobat. Go to FORMS>Add or Edit fields. Since you have no fields at present, Acrobat will ask if you would like to detect form fields. Answer yes and you will get a first cut at the form fields. Yes, you will likely have to add some more and change the ones that Acrobat estimates, but you are on your way.
    The other two options you have is to go back to WORD 2007 or earlier or upgrade to AA X (or find someone with AA X and WORD 2010). These methods are pretty much your options with the software combination that you have.
