Acrobat X pro pdf printer missing/ puzzle re forum fixes

Licensed Acrobat X pro installed; but no pdf printer.
Attempted workaround
<http://blogs.adobe.com/dmcmahon/2012/06/04/acrobat-pdf-printer-missing-after-installation- on-windows-64-bit/>
Solution 1 repair --did not work
Solution 2 --Uninstall and reinstall: I installed as part of CS5.5...do I have to unistall entire or just Acrobat?
Solution 3:  I am copying below with notes as to what didn't show up
Manually install the PDF Printer
Click Start >  Control Panel > Devices and Printers
Select Add a printer
Select Add a local printer
Check Use an existing port and select Documents\*.pdf (Adobe PDF) from the drop down.  Click Next
[No such file on 'existing port.' attempted using NITRO pdf which came with this new lenovo machine [but never availbale and not installed --jst recommended, although this file exists  < NitroPDF Port: (local port) > which I attempt]
Click the Have Disk… button
Click the Browse… button
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF
Select AdobePDF.inf from the list if using Acrobat Pro, or AdobePDFstd.inf if using Acrobat Std, then click the OK button
[this files exists]
You will see many Adobe PDF Converters in the list, however count six down from the top and click Next (you may need to try this numerous times to find the correct Converter from the list that works with your version of Windows)
[Attempted six down--no dice].
Name your printer, e.g. Adobe PDF
Follow the rest of the prompts and your PDF printer should now be installed correctly
If you are later prompted for the ADPDF9.PPD file, it can be found in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\<OS version> folders.
[Once I hit 'test' print it states  < Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrotray.exe'.
BUT i'm not using Acrobat 11.0!
Any ideas, o wise ones?
best,
skylar1

Hello All,
I just figured this out--
I installed updates in the Help tab, and the files required, including pdf printer were installed.
Works!
I realize that this is a gen behind in software but I am running legacy large format printers and the newest is not the best in this application.
Hope this helps....

  • Acrobat X Pro - pdf printer

    hi
    I install on my mac (leopard 10.5.8) Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
    but i haven't any pdf printer in Preferences->Printer
    how I print with acrobat pdf printer as the same on Acrobat 9 Professional?

    The proper method to set up is in the original Document.
    I've just tested this out. It use to be that you could use page setup with Acrobat.
    Since Acrobat 9 the setup menu has been rendered useless, then in Acrobat X it was totally removed.
    I created a test Pdf in Word 2011. I  setup for a 4by6"  Card (like you print Recipes on).
    Then I went to Print Menu and choose PDF > Adobe PDF. Then when I chose location and saved file. Acrobat opened up and the PDF was 4by6" Card format.
    Whatever  WordProcessor you use set page set up there for A4 create your Document choose adobe PDF, under the PDF button in the Print menu. save your PDF document.
    When you open your PDF it will be in the proper format.

  • Acrobat X update - .pdf printer missing afterwards

    I get notified of an update but every time I try to install the .pdf printer is missing afterwards. The only way I can get it back is to uninstall Acrobat and reinstall from original CD, but then I cannot update it

    Version 10.0.0 – I can’t update it because the .pdf printer (which I use a lot) gets removed so I have to go back to the CD which is version 10.0.0. I wonder if I can download a newer version if Acrobat X that already has the updates included – maybe that would help.

    I have windows XP media center. I uninstalled Acrobat 8 to download Acr 9 pro extended. No adobe printer was installed .
    Tried the steps given here by Steve Lionel. I was able to add the "Adobe PDF Converter" as printer. Although after the 7th step in Steve's fix, the wizard asked me to search for some files (from XP CDrom) which I was able to locate in the Windows folder-drivers folder and the system32-spool folder.
    I went to acrobat,opened a pdf file and tried to print with this printer and saved it on the desktop. A file appears, but adobe cannot open it however it activates adobe illustrator and opens in that program.
    Lots of time has gone. No solution yet.
    Appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks
    Update!!!
    I tried printing on this printer from a webpage and it converted the webpage like charm.
    I am more than happy even if I get to use this printer to convert webpages to pdf as now I don't have to install those shady pdf converters and printer drivers.
    This is good as the fix given here works even for XP.
    Thanks for this wonderful solution.

  • PDF printing Missing installed prnters

    We're starting to see an issue where a machine will have several printers installed people can print to any of then from word, excel, Chrome etc but for PDF's only one or sometime none show up in the drop down for the list of printers. We're using adobe

  • 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?

  • Firefox v33 knocked out my Adobe 7 pro PDF printer plugin. PDFs print OK from other applications.

    Firefox v33 knocked out my Adobe 7 pro PDF printer plugin. PDFs print OK from other applications. It happened a few times randomly, and it seemed to resolve spontaneously, but now it is persistent.
    I've done scans for malware, which I suspected, but nothing showed up, nor corrected it with cleaning.
    I had this problem before, and I found directions on how to rest the printer within Firefox, but I've forgotten how or where I got it.
    I did try to re-install in control panel, but this appears to be a firefox issue. How do i rest the plugin or Firefox to once again print PDFs from browser pages. I need to use this feature printing receipts etc.

    Are you using a toolbar button (Create PDF extension) or a printer driver (selecting Adobe PDF or Distiller in the Print dialog) to generate the PDF? Older versions of Create PDF have been reported not to work any more (by older I mean from Acrobat X or earlier), but the printing method should still work.

  • 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.

  • Adobe PDF Printer missing (acrobat 9 pro, XP pro)

    Hi,
    I searched the forums and found some similar problems, but not with my config, and, no solution.
    I have installed Adobe Creative Suite CS4 to a new, clean system. It runs on WIN XP Pro. This installation includes Acrobat 9 pro.
    Sadly, the printer is NOT in my printers list. I cannot print to PDF via file>print.
    I tried help>repair in acrobat, but no difference. I also upgraded the newest versions of my adobe software via adobe updater.
    Can anybody help me please? I don't want to install third party PDF writer, I paid for Adobe and I want to use it properly. Thank you

    I run the Support advisor toot, it said:

    I checked it, and only RPC is listed. BTW I noticed, that now I am receiving worse PDF outputs from some settings like "High quality print" (from InDesign). Vectors are ugly and has edges. However, exporting to 2001x/1a is good. I am very disappointed :(

  • How to setup a four page PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to print only one of four pages?

    Hello,
    I have a request from a end-user to setup a four page PDF in Adobe Acroat 9 PDF to only allow printing of one specific page of the four page PDF.
    The end-user will abe able to view the four pages in the PDF - however - the PDF would only allow printing of one page.  The PDF would need to be pre-set for the end-user.  Is there a setting Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to allow this type of specific pre-set printing.
    I appreciate your help.  I hope to hear from you soon.

    No, Acrobat can't do that.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Extended - Print to PDF setup on Windows 7 64bit???

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a high-end laptop, running Windows 7 64-bit OS. I've installed my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended software but it will not be recognized as a print option under the printers setting. Is there an update to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, which fixes this problem? What can be done to have Acrobat show up as a print option? I bought the top of the line Acrobat so that I could MAKE PDF's. This program is completely useless to me if I cannot make PDF's with it!!!
    ANY help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

    [email address deleted by host]

    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 7.0 Pro pdf printer does not populate? Error says printer port.

    I got a new computer and was installing Creative Suite & Acrobat pro and the Adobe PDF printer does not show up in the Printers. I downloaded the upgrade and Windows says it cannot install.
    I am running Windows 7 Pro

    Two parts of AA 7 will not install on Win 7 (32 or 64-bit): the Adobe PDF printer and AcroTray.exe. You can install a separate color PS printer (either one from Adobe or possibly one for an HP color PS printer), change the name to Adobe PDF and change the port to FILE. That should do the job, but you will ALWAYS have an extra step in the creation of a PDF. You will have to print to the printer and a PS file will be created (probably with a PRN extension). You then have to open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. From my brief testing, this process will work and the rest of Acrobat and Distiller seem to work (though I did not test extensively). If this is unacceptable to you, then purchase AA XI (upgrade not available from AA 7).

  • Printer prints some PDF objects as filled (but shows borders only in preview). Print as image helps, but not for all computers. Acrobat X Pro, OCE printer.

    We create PDF from Autocad using Adobe PDF printer. When printing that PDF file to OCE printer, some drawing objects are printed as filled (but Acrobat shows correctly - border only). If I open the PDF with Internet browser, I can see those objects as filled as well. If I print the PDF as image from some, not all computers - it prints ok, not filled.
    Please help.
