Acrobat XI Reinstall & Printer Driver

I've just signed up for Creative Cloud, and am in the process of updating my CS5 apps to the latest versions. I installed Acrobat XI (without uninstalling my old version), but it didn't include a new print to PDF driver (I asseum it's meant to), so I uninstalled both versions of Acrobat and rebooted. But now, Adobe Application Manager still thinks Acrobat XI is installed, so won't let me download and install it again. I also tried going through creative.adobe.com, but no luck that way either.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hi MrJosephClarke,
If you have already uninstalled Acrobat old and new version, try downloading and installing it from : http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=us
Use your Adobe ID to license the software and it should recognise your Cloud subscription.

Acrobat 8 pdf printer driver

Running in Windows XP and try to publish to pdf from Word. Get error message "can not located pdf printer's printer driver". Need help

Assuming you have AA8 installed, you should have the Adobe PDF printer present as an active printer on you machine. If not, then open Acrobat, go to the help menu, and select repair. If you can not do that, then go to the Control Panel>Add/Remove programs and activate the repair there. You might also check for updates, you did not indicate the version of AA8 you are talking about.

Repeatedly required to reinstall printer driver

I have installed canon MP 450 in my ibook G4 and have successfully printed material using bluetooth. However, I often have to reinstall the driver. Does anyone know why this would happen repeatedly?

Yes, I can connect by USB. This is a confusing problem since it is intermittent, and I can even be right next to the printer.

My HP Photosmart C4580 no longer supported by HP or Apple. How can I reinstall printer driver?

I uninstalled my HP Photosmart C4580 thinking I could reinstall from the CD that came with it only to find out that the CD doesn't cover Mavericks. HP and Apple no longer support this printer. Suggestions?

This document says the C4500 series driver is available for automatic download/install when you add the printer in Print & Scan prefs:
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
Have you tried adding it yet?
PS - The CD is almost always outdated by the time you buy the printer. Don't bother with the CD.

Photoshop/Acrobat will not print black- ?

Hi,
I'm working on a Macbook with Leopard, using CS3. I recently started using a HP Officejet Pro K8600 printer (inkjet, CMYK cartridges). My problem is that when printing out of Photoshop and Acrobat, any black items are outputting as gray- I'm assuming that the printer is creating a composite black out of the color inks instead of using the black ink cartridge. This is not a problem when printing out of Illustrator (blacks look great). Any ideas?
I have tried running Photoshop in Rosetta mode, deleting the Preferences file, and several different print and Photoshop dialogue settings. Photoshop, Acrobat and the printer driver are all updated. I'm running out of options and Adobe technical support had no solution either. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Print driver missing

My main printer is Epson Color Stylus 800. It wouldn't print color so I tried using an Epson CX6400 and loaded its software on my hard drive. I couldn't use either printer so I removed all CX6400 folder/files, reloaded my Stylus 800 software off the original CD and continue to get this message, "Can't find the SC800 printer driver. Reinstall print driver." I have done this several times and still get this message. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Acrobat 6.0 and Windows 7 - is there a PDF printer driver available?

Hi,
I have been using Acrobat 6.0 with Windows XP fine. However, I just got a new computer that has Windows 7.
I installed Acrobat 6.0 but cannot now convert any documents to PDF on this new computer. I get this error--
"The PDF maker cannot find the Adobe PDF printer driver and to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 6.0"
However, reinstalling Acrobat 6.0 does not help, nor does the repair feature.
Is There a patch for this product? Can I download a driver for the PDF printer so that it is compatible with Windows 7?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have Acrobat 6 as well and just upgraded to windows 7. Can't afford Acrobat Version 9 either. From what I understand, only Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL, ULTIMATE or ENTERPRISE editions can you run most Windows XP productivity programs in Windows XP Mode(separate download). At least that's what I read here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-modeI wonder if that will help you. I unfortunately only have STARTER edition.
*The following text is copied and pasted from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-mode
Windows 7 Feature has a Windows XP Mode
It's the best of both worlds: The new Windows XP Mode lets you run older Windows XP business software right on your Windows 7 desktop.
Designed primarily with small- and medium-sized businesses in mind, Windows XP Mode comes as a separate download and works only with Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise. Windows XPMode also requires virtualization software such as WindowsVirtual PC. Both are available free on the Microsoft website.
To download Windows XP Mode or learn about its system requirements, visit the Windows Virtual PCwebsite.
Windows XP Mode, available for the Professional and Ultimate editions of Windows 7, helps prevent older business programs from becoming obsolete.

Missing Printer Driver... Please Reinstall

So I got this error the other day.. that the Acrobat printer driver was missing and that I shou
ld re-install Acrobat Pro 9. That was an adventure. After several days of trying to reinstall just Acrobat from my CS4 installation files, I finally removed all of CS4 ran the Adobe cleanup scripts, etc. Re-installed CS4, got my updates, etc... and I get the same message whenever I try to create a PDF: PDFMaker cannot locate the Adobe PDF Printer's printer driver. Please re-install Adobe Acrobat 9.1
Clues, hints, suggestions?
TIA

ORBMike, I was on phone support the other day for 3 hours to fix this problem. They do not know why this is occuring. They did get my software working but it is still not in perfect working order. They had me download acrobat X. With their help we copied the drivers from X to 9. It was somewhat technical so I suggest calling adobe phone support. They were Great!!

What is the Acrobat 7 Adobe PDF printer driver name?

I can no longer print to my "Adobe PDF" printer.
I have Acrobat 7.1.0 (as part of Creative Suite 2) on my small travel laptop system running Windows XP Professional, SP3.
Recently, if I try to print to a PDF file from Firefox, I get:
"an unexpected error has occurred" or "an unknown error has occurred while printing".
I went to the Adobe PDF printer itself and if I try to choose the properties, I get "The Adobe PDF Converter' is not installed on this computer. Then it asks me if I want to install the driver now. If I say yes, it wants the driver name, which I don't know and don't see obvious candidates. If I say no, and I see the properties for the PDF printer, it says the driver is "Adobe PDF Converter", but I guess the underlying driver file is missing.
I found a posting for how to manually reinstall the printer on Acrobat 10, but my directory structure is different and I don't have a file called pdf.inf, so I suspect the driver name is different in Acrobat 7.
I can still launch Acrobat 7 just fine, and have tried doing the repair from the help menu twice, and rebooted afterward. No luck.
I didn't delete the Adobe PDF printer before the repair. I was afraid to.
I could go back to the original CS2 disks, but then I'll lose all the updates I've downloaded and installed over the years. I don't know if Adobe even has the updates for CS2 online anymore.
I suspect if I knew the name of the PDF printer driver in Acrobat 7, I may be able to fix it. Even if the file got deleted, I likely have it on an old backup.
Does anyone know the name of the ".inf" driver file for the Adobe PDF printer in Acrobat7 (CS2)?
If not, is there something else I can run from the setup files that will reinstall the PDF converter?
Thanks.
Cindy

I cannot confirm, but feel confident that Adobe has the updates available for CS2.
Reinstall from the disks.
I just looked through my XP system running CS2; I cannot see an easy way to reinstall the Adobe PDF Printer, but it is already installed there.

Acrobat v9 Printer Driver

I'm not sure if I'm missing something basic, but I installed a volume license Acrobat v9 Standard install on a Server 2003 Terminal Server, but I don't see the Adobe PDF creator/printer driver when I do a File, Print....
I tried reinstalling, rebooting the server, playing with ports on existing printer drivers...any thoughts?
TIA.

Hi Mike,
I have exactly the same problem that you describe. At first I thought it might be malicious software that was installing a fake driver, but after running Malware, Spybot and some other programs, I'm still left with the problem. I have a lot of Adobe software installed (Adobe Premiere Elements 7, Adobe Acrobat Pro 8, Adobe Audition 3, Adobe PhotoShop 7 and of course Adobe Reader 9, plus as you indicate Adobe Air and Acrobat.com I'm not sure when my problem started, since I only recognized it when I went to do a system restore. It appears to install the driver about once a minute. This leaves me with about 3 days worth of useless restore points.
The only advice that I have received is to un-install all my Adobe stuff, then check the System Restore, then one by one re-install the packages checking each time what happens in the system restore.
Have you found any solution since your original post?

Printer (Driver) issue only after reinstalling 10.6.8

For some reason since I reinstalled my mac os (I transferred everything from time machine and did the updates, including a printer driver update) after my printer has been idle, it can't be found by my computer. In theory there's nothing wrong with my wireless router, as everything possible with that has been tried and failed to resolve the issue. When I go into the console logs, I get these errors, always together, every ten seconds or so:
9/12/11 5:27:05 PM          com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[92]          (com.hp.devicemonitor[2063]) posix_spawn("/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor", ...): No such file or directory
9/12/11 5:27:05 PM          com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[92]          (com.hp.devicemonitor[2063]) Exited with exit code: 1
9/12/11 5:27:05 PM          com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[92]          (com.hp.devicemonitor) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
If I put my computer to sleep with a print job in the que, when the computer wakes up it will connect, but will then stop immediately after that transfer, where if I try to print something, it says the printer is offline and can't find the printer. The same is true with the connecting if I turn off the printer and turn it back on - whatever's in the que will print. But once it goes idle for more than a few seconds, I'm screwed. I'm at my wits end with this. I've called Belkin (maker of my router), HP, maker of my printer (it's an HP CP1525NW that's having the issue), etc. and no resolution. Also, when my computer tells me that it can't find the printer, it has no trouble connecting to the internet as I can find the printer if I open it's IP address in safari or firefox, and play on farmtown in FB all I want, but the print que/utility will NOT find the printer. Please help me. Thank you in advance if your advice is helpful/almost helpful.
Another thing I found was this in my console: 9/12/11 10:58:50 AM          mDNSResponder[18]          Client application bug: DNSServiceResolve(HP\032LaserJet\032CP1525nw\032(843086)._ipp._tcp.local.) active for over two minutes. This places considerable burden on the network.
I'm confused as to whether this means anything. The HP laserjet cp1525nw (843086) is what my computer calls my printer when it's wireless; the wired (usb) one doesn't have the (843086) after it.
And one other thing - if I search this very same error on google, the only thing that will come up is someone having trouble with a brand new MBP with the screen flickering and the graphics device switching. For whatever reason when the person got rid of HP from their user logs or something the flicker issue went away but they started seeing this very same series of errors. My screen is fine except for the fact that sometimes when it comes out of sleep the screen will go black. I've had that problem for a long time, it doesn't happen very often (thank God), and while this has been going on (before the reinstall), I had NO trouble with my printer. Nothing seems to make sense.

One other thing I forgot to mention. If I hook the printer up using a usb cable, it prints fine without issues.

My Lexmark X2670 printer doesn't work right since I reinstalled the Firefox 3,6 version. I keep getting the alignment page to print over and over. Is there a problem between the two? Do I need a new printer driver? What?Daisynew66

I had to change my hrowser to Firefox because Internet Explorer 9 doesn't work with my ancestry.com program. I can't uninstall Internet Explorer 9. I got Firefox 4 and it didn't work either. I started having problems with my printer working at all then. l was told to go to Firefox 3.x. I looked and there is no 3.x it is 3.5 or 3.6. I downloaded 3.6. Now I keep getting a alignment page and end up having to shut off my printer. I'm using way too much ink. I'm almost out with no hope of getting more ink until I get paid. I can't find anyplace that says to update a driver or that I need a plug-in or what might be I've done everything I know to do.wrong. It has new port cables. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? Do I need to uninstall the printer and reinstall it again? daisy

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

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 7.0 Pro error message in Vista Ultimate..missing printer driver

I use to have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional installed on my other computer with had XP Pro as its operating system. I could convert any Word 2003 document into a PDF and e-mail it without any problems. I just purchased a new computer with Vista Ultimate 64 bit and every time I try to convert a Word document into a PDF I get an error message that says it can't find the printer driver and to please re-install Acrobat. I did what it said and I keep getting the same error message. I even installed the newest Adobe Reader like it said. I know my printer driver works. Does anyone have a solution? It seems all the money you spend on Adobe products their support staff just wants to wash their hands and send you on some wild goose chase looking for answers on their un-user friendly site instead of answering the question or making any recommendations. If I have to update it so be it. They should have told me that. This is the last time I will fork over $600 on any of their products because their service stinks. I appreciate any help from anyone who has experienced this same problem or who knows how to rectify it. God Bless, Tony

Hi Michael, Thank you so much for the reply. You would think Adobe Support could have told me that so I really appreciate it. Do you know what I need to do to upgrade it ? Can I find an upgrade on E-Bay or do I need to go to COMP USA or some other place to buy the upgrade? Last, what exactly am I looking for to upgrade it to the newest version. (Name of product). I will also remove the other program so it won't have any other issues once I get the upgrade. Thanks again and God Bless, Tony
