Adobe Acrobat 8.....Printer Description File install??????  HELP!!

When I go to print a PDF it says: AdobePDF 8.0 Printer Description File is not currently installed. A Generic PPD will be used instead.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat 8 Pro but it keeps saying it. I need help, I need to make PDF for job that has to go to press.
Thanks!!

Hi,
I have had the same problem, I have made sure the ADPDF8 file is in the macintoshhd/library/printers/ppd/Contents/Resources/folder and have pointed PPD manager to see it, it picks up all the printers installed (loads by the way?) but not the ADPDF8 file - although it is in there!?!
I have to revert back to the default PPD manager to see that and then it only lists the Generics and not any PPDs for the printers installed.
Please help?

  • Where do I find the Adobe pdf 9.0 printer description file and how do I install it?

    Where do I find the Adobe pdf 9.0 printer description file and how do I install it? Operating system is Windows 7 and I have Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 installed. Adobe Acrobat X Pro just updated to version 10.1.8

    Hi. Thanks for the replyl
    I'm in prepress, working mainly with Quark XPress for advertising files and with Word, Photoshop, everything, for many years. My older computer is the workhorse with Quark 6.5 and CS4 and OSX 10.4.11. Everything is set up for me to produce PDF x1a files by printing .ps files from Quark and Word, and InDesign.
       My newer computer, OSX 10.9.4, must now be used to a greater extent. So I have Quark 9 and 10 and now Creative Suite for the Cloud. But I don't have any Adobe PDF printer which I select when I print .ps files and place into my Distiller Watched Folder. I by pass selecting the Adobe PDF printer in Word and just print straight to .ps. The .ps file just sits in the Watched Folder and no longer flows into Distiller, processed and out. Is this the way of the future? I just want a smooth, fast flow for PDF's. I want them to be PDF x1a compliant for hi-quality printing.
    Thought you might help to give me info as to how one uses Distiller (or not) with the new operating system and latest programs. Can't seem to find any info as of yet by searching the Adobe FAQ's and the Internet in general.
    Thanks alot.

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio 2013?

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader has not been installed on your computer

    I get this error when trying to print from a website.
    Adobe Acrobat Reader has not been installed on your computer.
    You will be directed to a site where you can download
    the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    But I already have reader installed and its up todate. HELP. I use a mac, This happens on Chrome and Firefox.
    I have tried disabling and re abling the plugin. I disabled the default browser viewer. still cannot view the item to print.

    Have you done ALL OF THIS?
    In Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
    In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
    You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
    There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
    In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
    Close that tab.
    Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
    Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that because I also have Acrobat Pro installed)
    Click OK.
    Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
    Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.

  • Exporting pdf "acrobat distiller printer description not found" ERROR!

    I just upgraded my g4 to tiger and I am running quark 5 on it. I can no longer export pdfs. I get an error saying "acrobat distiller printer description not found." I am stumped and I NEED to get this working!!
    Anybody who knows how to fix this please let me know!
    Thanks

    You may need to re-install Adobe Acrobat Pro, assuming you need the functionality of Acrobat to create PDFs. To create simple PDF's there is a PDF menu on every print dialog box that does not require the Distiller printer description file.

  • Trying to use an eFiling system getting mssg "adobe acrobat plug-in is not installed or is disabled"

    I am on an IMac with Snow Leopard - I have updated ALL Adobe products.  I am trying to open documents in an online filing system and I repeatedly get the message..."adobe acrobat plug-in is not installed or is disabled".  Anyone have any ideas??  Thanks so much!

    Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
    There apparently are two ways to address this:
    (1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
    (i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
    This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
    (2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
    Open a Windows Explorer window to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
    Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
    Right-click and paste
    Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
    After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
    ''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

  • Error Message reads: "Adobe Acrobat Updater Certificate failed to install."

    I am unable to make any updates to my Adobe programs (including creative suite CS3). Everytime I try, I type in my password, but I always get the same error message: Adobe Acrobat Updater Certificate failed to install.
    I believe this is happening because I actually inherited my Adobe programs, including the MacBook Pro the programs are installed on. The owner used to be a relative who, sadly, passed away. I thought I had changed everything to be under my name as the owner, but having never done it before it's possible I missed something? Perhaps my relative's name is still recognized as the owner?
    Please help as this is wreaking havoc in many "little" ways...
    Thanks.

    Had the same problem. Found two updaters on the computer. Go to "applications/utilities/adobe utilities". Threw away the folder "Adobe Updater5". Ran the "Adobe Updater6/Adobe Updater.app". Problem gone.

  • Bought new Adobe Acrobat Pro XI tried to install but got message installer encountered an error that caused installation to fail

    Bought new Adobe Acrobat Pro XI tried to install but got message installer encountered an error that caused installation to fail, can anyone help with this?  I am stuck.

    Hello Joe,
    did you purchase your product from these firms like Amazon? If yes, this is not a serial number, only a code with which you can request a serial number from Adobe. Please have a look at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html. (Start here: How did you purchase your product?)
    The following part, so I just see at least, ceased to exist on my Adobe website, everything takes place in the link from above. I leave it as an info yet, it might still fit for you. For this purpose, please click your way through to your Adobe Store and find the button "Get Serial Number". Fill in the form and after a while you will get the real serial number.

  • How to I add ADPDF9 PPD to the printer description file in InDesign CS6?

    I am having problems creating a clean PS file for booklet spreads and was advised to add ADPDF9 PPD to the printer description file in InDesign CS6. Can someone please tell me how to do this?

    @Ihatecomputers – yes. Quite simple, if you have the PPD file at hand:
    On Max OSX:
    1. Go to Applications / Adobe inDesign CS6 / Presets
    2. Create a folder with the following exact name: PPDs
    3. Copy ADPDF9.PPD into that folder
    Restart InDesign.

  • Adobe defaults to "print to file."

    Adobe defaults to "print to file."  How do I change this so the "print to file" box is unchecked as a default?

    I just fixed this issue. Running Adobe Reader X on Win7 x64 Enterprise.
    Locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\PrefsDialog and modify the key "aLastPrefsPanel" to say "Display". I found on the troubled PC it was set to "Startup"
    Note in your case it might be "10.1" rather than "10.0"
    That should do the trick.

  • Installation of Acrobat Pro 11 fails to find Adobe Acrobat X Pro.Ink file

    When I try to install of the Acrobat Pro 11 update it posts a message that it can't find the Adobe Acrobat X Pro.Ink file. I've repaired Pro X but it still posts the message. If I ignore it, it continues to remove Pro X files then stops and rolls back to restore them.

    I used online chat. The solution was to use the Acrobat Cleaner tool from http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/acrobat_ittools/acrobat_ittools_cleaner_p1_040612.z ip to remove Pro X.

    I spend as much time in the US as in the UK, yet my Adobe account happens to be registered in the UK where the price for CC is 25-30% higher than in the US.  Since it's a pure digital product, this feels like a rip-off and I just won't stand for it.
