Acrobate X pdf printer

I am running Mac os 10.5.8 and just installed Adobe CS5.5. I was running CS 4 with Acrobat pro 9, and I could print to pdf using adobe pdf 9.0. After I pdf'ed and opened in Illustrator and works fine. Now when I tell it to print it shows it saving but when i look for file it is not there and if I save to a pdf in acrobat it looks good but in Illustrator most of the text is distorted. Am I missing something or does Acrobat X not have a way to create a pdf printer.

Works the same as Snow Leopard except Leopard doesn't remove the AdobePDF Printer. If you try to use it (AdobePDF Printer) you just receive an error message.
Proper away as you say If go to Printer > then click on PDF and hold > then select from the list Adobe PDF or Adobe Quality PDF.

Acrobat X pdf printer crashed by Acrobat XI

I accidentally installed Acrobat XI 30 days trail on my computer, but after I uninstall it, my existing Acrobat X pdf printer doesn't work, that Adobe Acrobat X pdf printer still use acrobat XI's path......
how can I fix it????

Run Acrobat 10 and under the Help menu items, select Repair Acrobat Installation. If that doesn't fix the problem, you will likely need to full uninstall Acroabat 10, reboot (this is important), and then fully reinstall Acrobat 10.

Acrobat 8 PDF printing with Windows 8.1/MS office 2013

I upgraded computer to Windows 8.1 and MS office professional 2013 and reinstalled adobe acrobat 8.
When I try to create pdf files from office 2013 document (Excel, Word, Publisher), computer freezes when window opens to select pfd document destination.
I tried opening office document in acrobat and try to create pdf file. I get pdf maker missing at this point.
Before updating computer I ran compatibility tool and it indicated my acrobat 8.3.1 was compatible with Windows 8.1; however noted that I needed to go to adobe website for help with adobe ExtendScript toolkit 2. I don’t know what adobe ExtendScript toolkit 2 is and if it is associated with Adobe Acrobat or CS3.

I have no idea about the extend tool. You need to update to the latest version of AA 8, but it appears you are there with 8.3.1. You should print to the Adobe PDF printer. OFFICE 2013 is not compatible with the AA8 PDF Maker. So far I have only seen one person suggesting success with AA8 and Win8.1. If you can give details about your problem, we might be able to help, but you may not be successful. Only time and trial will tell.

Compatibility of IE9 with Adobe Acrobat 9 PDF printer

Hello,
I know from reading this document that the Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker is not supported in IE9:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
Does this only apply to the PDFMaker utility located within the browser, or does it also apply to the Adobe PDF printer that is available as a choice if I try to print a webpage?
I ask because every time I try to print a webpage to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer (NOT the PDFMaker) using the following sequence of steps:
1. right clicking on the page
2. clicking "Print...",
3. selecting "Adobe PDF" from the list of printers
4. choosing a location for the destination .pdf file
4. click "Print"
a window pops up with the title "Creating Adobe PDF", but the progress bar never fills up and the PDF file is never created. There is a spinning Adobe logo and a printer icon in the system tray. If I double click on the printer icon, I can see the document I sent to the Adobe PDF printer. The status is "Spooling". Occasionallly the PDF document will eventually be created, but usually it isn't.
I have better luck in Chrome, but sometimes it too hangs, although the documents are eventually created.
Here are my specs:
Windows Vista Business 64-bit
IE 9.0.8112.16421 (both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions experience the problem)
Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.5.5
To summarize:
Printing to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer and IE9 causes the "Creating Adobe PDF" step to hang forever. I know IE9 is not compatible with PDFMaker, but what about the Adobe PDF printer?

Hi,
I believe I am having similar issues to yourself. I have been looking for solutions for a day or two now but can not find anything. Have you managed to find a resolution or work around?

Acrobat 7 pdf printer won't install

Finally managed to get CS2 installed on a new Vista machine after old pc died, and apps appear to work. Acrobat 7 launches with no issues. However if I try to create a PDF from Word, it tells me the pdf printer isn't installed (and its not listed in printers). If I try to open the word file in acrobat, it tells me it can't find the adobe resources.
Any idea what the problem is? CS2 wouldn't install to the /Programs (x86) folder - installed to a new folder called /Programs x86.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you upgraded to VISTA X64, you also likely upgraded OFFICE also to OFFICE 2007. Both VISTA and OFFICE 2007 require AA8.1.2 I think (Vista had problems with earlier AA8 versions). Thus, AA7 is an issue that you are lucky if you get it to work in those environments. Actually it would be nice if MS would quit messing up their OS so that other software has to be upgraded. Adobe works at a rather low level of the system and getting all the bugs out when trying to follow MS specifications is apparently a real pain (think MS makes their specs kind of crazy on purpose - and folks often need to complain to MS rather than the software vendors). You might have heard that MS had to add their help system back in after the fact (they had purposely removed it from VISTA) since their own OFFICE products used the help system. Apparently a lot of companies also complained about Netmeeting that originally was dropped from VISTA and a new version was added that is VISTA compatible. Bill

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.

Acrobat 7 PDF Printer

For those trying to get the PDF Printer device from Adobe Acrobat or CS2 to work in 10.5.x, here's a short guide to getting it going despite Adobe's claims that it can't be fixed.
First, make sure that you've got the latest version of Acrobat 7 install (7.1.0 at the time of this writing). Then, from within Acrobat, select the "Help->Detect and Repair" menu item. Make sure that "Adobe PDF Printer" is checked, click "Continue" and let it do its thing. Once it's done, you'll have the "Adobe PDF 7.0" printer listed in your "Print & Fax" control panel.
Next, open the Terminal using an account with Admin privileges and type:
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf700
That should take care of it—at least, it did for me. YMMV.

Acrobat X - PDF Printer Security allowing printing/conversion of autocad files

Hello,
Acrobat 10.1.1 and 10.0.0
We have a situation where we want to set up the "Adobe PDF" printer to automatically secure our documents when printing from Autocad.
The product will save the document with permissions but when the document is opened the Document is still able to be printed by another user.
This is not the case when securing it from the Acrobat product itself and not trying to pre-program the printer defaults for the Adobe Printer like we want to do.
Any help would be appreciated.
If this is an existing issue, please forward me the appropriate KB article.
Thanks

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 9 PDF Printing Funny

I have Acrobat 9 and the PDF files I get do not print
correctly. They are either out of alignment or the biggest problem
is some parts will print but the other parts are just a bunch of
scattered around dots. Can you help me correct this problem?

Thanks for the post. However this forum is specifically for
Acrobat.com issues. Please visit the Acrobat user forums or contact
Adobe tech support for any Acrobat issues.

Adobe Acrobat X PDF Printer not printing to Network Share

Until recently we have been able to print to PDF onto a network share/drive without an issue. Now it does not work, and we are not sure if it is an antivirus blocking it or perhaps an Adobe update, or even a combination of the two.
We can print to PDF fine to a local drive, or with an older version of Adobe Acrobat (8 or 9), just not with X.
Has anyone encountered this issue, or have any insight on what might be a solution to our problems?
I have tried disabling all the antivirus services, but that had no change.
I also reinstalled Adobe Acrobat X to see if it would work.
Lyle

I have just tried this, i.e., printing to a network shares (in this case a network share many miles away over a wireless internet connection from a hotel on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit), and have not been able to reproduce the problem.
Please provide the particulars of your network shares. For what it is worth, the Adobe software simply creates and writes the file to whatever location you point to. It doesn't even know if the destination is local or remote or anything to do with the network topology if remote.
You might also want to check any firewall software you might have installed to make sure that it is not blocking these remote file operations from Acrobat or any of its components.

10.3 acrobat 6 pdf prints tiny on page. preview ok. why?

os x 10.3 in many programs and on various printers prints out page absolutely tiny in the corner of the paper. even though A4 is selected, it seems to think that the paper size is massive. but even if you select scale to fit, it still prints out tiny. v. annoying. any solutions?
emac Mac OS X (10.3) printing to lexmark and hp printers

Trying to wrap my brain around this one.
Many programs? Are you printing different files or they same file? Is it a PDF?
If PDF and in Acrobat, have you checked the page setup (CommandShiftP).
This will let you know what size of paper Acrobat is expecting to print to.
In the bottom left corner of your screen is the status bar which should show the size of the page in your document. Does this match the sheet size you are printing to? In your preview of the Page, are you seeing the entire page or is the view zoomed in?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Acrobat can be down right nasty when it wants to.
Let me know

Acrobat 9.0 for Window - Cannot create PDF Printer

I can't create a printer as non of the drivers in "C:\program Files\adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF" work. Re-installing does not work either. I tried installing older verions 7 & 8, both created Adobe PDF Printer... when installing version 9 it deletes the printer.
The message I get is: PDFMaker cannot locate the Adobe PDF Printer's printer driver. Please re-insall Adobe Acrobat 9.0
Anyone have any idea how to resolve this?

Do as I do on some items. Install a utility called TypeIt4Me the go to the announcement. Copy the link. choose add clipping give it a name put / or \ at the end so it you type the same words normally it don't trigger the typeIt4Me entry. then when you need to type the words (code used) and wait for TypeIt4Me enter it. the item highlighted in my attachment is this:

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

I have just installed Adobe Acrobat xi pro for mac (trial) but it did not install a PDF printer,hence when I use other software such as Word etc I cannot find the PDF printer. Has anyone got a fix for this issue
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 printing files to Adobe PDF printer using VBA

I have an Excel project. Part of the code prints the active sheet range as a PDF file. Later code then sends the PDF file as an e-mail attachment. The Code was originally written using the free application PDFCreator and works as intended. However the client wants to use the Acrobat "Adobe PDF" printer instead.
Each PDF must have a name as specified in the code and must be sent to a specified folder, again as specified in the code.
The Adobe PDF printer insists on 1) using the path specified in the printer preferences and 2) naming it as the workbook name + .pdf.
I have checked the Distiller API reference and it tells me that if a key is set, the output path and name can be controlled. However, setting the key as described does not work. The PDF printer ignores it and creates another key named as the output file with a REG_SZ value that is numeric and increments each time print is invoked.
Attached is a screen shot of the registry entries.
What am I doing wrong?

I have.
However, I think I have solved this.
First, I am using Win 7 64 bit, so the application is not excel but c:\windows\splwow64.exe. I've modified my code so that both XP 32 and Win7 64 are catered for.
Second, the print command I used in VBA was
ActiveSheet.Printout ActivePrinter:= "Adobe PDF"
It looks like that starts a different Adobe DF printer to the one that would look at the registry. If I change the code to
ActiveSheet.Printout
and set Adobe PDF as the default printer in control panel, the whole thing works as planned.
All I need to do now is to set the printer to Adobe PDF within the code so the user doesn't have to do this in Control Panel. Obviously, my approach above didn't work, so what is the way to do this?
Here's the sub routine as it stands at the moment:
Public Sub PrintUsingAcrobat()
    Dim strOutFile As String
    Dim PDFPath As String
    Dim FileName As String
    Dim XPApplic As String
    Dim X64Applic As String
    XPApplic = Application.Path & "\excel.exe"
    X64Applic = "C:\Windows\splwow64.exe"
    Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE As Long = &H80000002
    Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER As Long = &H80000001
    Dim lRC
    Dim sPath
    Dim objRegistry
    PDFPath = outpath ' outpath is a global variable set elsewhere
    strOutFile = Range("Suppliername") & ".pdf"
    FileName = PDFPath & strOutFile
    Set objRegistry = GetObject("winmgmts://./root/default:StdRegProv")
    sPath = "SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl"
    lRC = objRegistry.SetStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, sPath, XPApplic, FileName)
    lRC = objRegistry.SetStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, sPath, X64Applic, FileName)
    ActiveSheet.PrintOut
    DoEvents
End Sub
