Adobe Acrobat Pro failed to print pdf file

I downloaded adobe acrobat pro and started the 30 trial version just a few minutes ago.
I could open files through adobe acrobat and convert word files to pdf, but when i tried converting a publisher file it could not go through. An error popped up which read "Adobe PDF printer failed to print pdf file".
The publisher file I am hoping to convert to pdf is a 21 page panorama article. It contains lots of images and a variety of font types.
I do not know other alternatives for solving this issue.
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Thank you!
Erik

It seems to be that Adobe Acrobat virtual printer is not properly installed on your PC or you are not selecting Adobe PDF printer to print PDF document. Checkout the below screen shot to see proper printer.
After trying this if you have same problem you may trt some other virtual printer that easily convert or print any file as PDF, you may checkout here.

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.

Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am having problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD. Printing other PDF created by MS Word works well. Had a similar problem in an earlier version of Pro. The fix I figure out then was to print the PDF file as another PDF. Using the second PDF to print to a plotter typically worked. It does not work for Adoabe Acrobat Pro XI.

My mac pro won't print pdf files

My macbook pro will not print PDF files - I had to change some settings previously and it worked for a while but just stopped again recently. I can't remember what settings I changed before to make it work. Can anyone help me?

I found it.....
1. Click on any PDF file in the Finder to select it
2. Go to the “File” menu and select “Get Info.” You also have the option of pressing the “Control” key on the keyboard while clicking on the file and selecting “Get Info” from the contextual menu.
3. Adjust the “Open with” menu to “Preview.” Press “Change All” to set all PDFs to open with Preview.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help me!

Will Standard Edition of Adobe Acrobat allow password protection for PDF files or do I need to purchase Acrobat Pro?

I need to password protect PDF files in an office environment. I was wondering if I need Adobe Acrobat Pro or would the Standard Edition suffice? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Standard is sufficient.

When I print in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, it prints reversed..

Only recently when I try to print in Acrobat Pro 9, it prints backwards/reversed.. like a mirror. It shows correct on the page, but when it's printed it's reversed. I must have changed a setting by accident but can't find the issue. Possibly in Adobe Illustrator when I tried to change the direction of an image. It only prints like this in Acrobat.. no other application.

Hi hollym23446293,
What are you printing to? Have you checked for a "Flip Horizontally" option (or similar) option in the Print dialog box? Its location will vary by printer, but it's often in the Layout settings.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Which version of Adobe Acrobat is needed to read .pdf files on the iPhone?

I have Blackbaud's iBBDemo4.exe iPhone simulator for Windows XP. I'm trying to view/read various .pdf files with it. I received an error message that says, "file uses a new format that is not supported by the current version of Acrobat." Does anyone know which Acrobat version is needed for .pdf files on the iPhone and/or iPhone simualtor?

The iPhone has it's own built in PDF reader, and doesn't need Adobe Reader. So if your simulator software isn't working then I suggest you contact Blackbaud's support. Besides, Adobe doesn't make an iPhone version of Reader.

Acrobat Pro 8.0 CS3 - PDF file print in Mac OS 10.5.8 fixed!

Since upgrade from version 7.0, Acrobat Pro PDF 8.0 printer kept pausing and wouldn't print document.
I previously had same trouble with the Acrobat PDF 7.0 printer, but eventually got that to work with a command entered via terminal mode:
Adobe PDF print (OS 10.5.6) work-around using UNIX command entered via the Terminal;
In Terminal type the following if you are using Acrobat 7.x:
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf700
Plan A for today: Tried same thing for v. 8.0;
In Terminal type the following if you are using Acrobat 8.x:
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf800
This didn't work, so went to Plan B;
The other suggested approach is to remove various PDF printer library files and then follow with the Adobe "repair" function.
Remove following files and then "Repair" from Adobe menu;
/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/AdobePDFPDE800.plugin
/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF8.ppd
~/Library/Printers/Adobe PDF 8.0.app
/private/etc/cups/ppd/AdobePDF8.ppd
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf800
This didn't work before, so went to Plan C;
I looked through all discussion threads again, a few mentioned installing latest update to Acrobat Pro 8 ... I had already done that, or so I thought ... I went again to update menu command within Acrobat, and it plainly reported that "Adobe doesn't have any updates at this time" just as it had before.
I then compared my installed rev. version vs. the latest updates available for manual download, and found I was several behind.
I then manually installed each one in sequence and towards the end of the process, Acrobat opened a pop-up window telling me there were updates available, and asked if I wanted to install them. Go figure, one of the manual updates fixed the menu updater not working correctly. Not sure which one, but I eventually landed at version 8.3.1. I repeated "Plan B", and now the PDF printer is working again.
I guess with trial & error, even a blind squirrel will find a nut ...

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 PDF docs print differently to different printers

I have a a saved PDF file.(it was created in FileMaker).
It looks perfect on screen. It has a signature line____________ date_________ at the bottom of the page.
When I send to our color printer, the signature line moves up to the middle of the page, which is where the text info ends.
When I send to my black and white printer, the signature line remains at the bottom of the page where it belongs.
I have also resent the same pdf to 2 other printers, 1 black and white, and 1 color, and it prints correctly.
So basically, 3 out of 4 printers print correctly.
I have contacted out IT department and was told it was an Adobe problem and not a color printer driver problem.
I don't understand that part of it.
Why would a pdf move information around based on the printer it is sent to?
Any suggestions?
Is is an Adobe setting for that color printer or is it the printers problem?
Thanks in advance.

I have now checked other people in my departments Adobe versions.
I have Adobe Pro V9.0.0, and does not print correctly.
1 person has Adobe XI Pro and prints correctly.
1 person has Adobe Pro 9.5.5 and prints correctly.
1 person has Adobe Pro V9.0.0 and does not print correctly
I have now installed the available upgrades which only took me to 9.2.0 and still prints incorrectly.
I wil try and find the other updates and see if that helps.
thx.

Adobe Acrobat 9 can't make pdf files in 2003 Word

Hello, Can you help me?
I purchased Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro four years ago when I went onto Windows 7 as I needed the 64 bit version. Prior to this I had Adobe Acrobat 7.
Recently I have been unable to make PDF files in Word although it is working in all the other Word applications and through the HP scanner.
It also won’t make PDF files through the Adobe programme and comes up with the message “Missing PDF files”and the repair command fails to save the problem.
I am using Word 2003 but prior to now the programme has worked without a problem.
Can you tell me how to solve the problem as I need the facility as I manage numerous websites for different charities.
My serial number is 1118-1780-5717-0649-5947-1289 and I am reluctant to unload the programme incase I can’t reload it.
I have tried to load Acrobat 7 onto my laptop which still has Windows Vista on it. The serial number for this is 1016-1284-2194-6099-0208-1387 but it refuses to activate this. Can you advise me on this ?
I am desperate..
Many thanks, Sheila

Acrobat Pro Won't Open PDF Files

I get this message when trying to click open pdf files in a directory. These files will open from Acrobat open file menu. Message - The document “SpecSheet_Zip.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format. I'm using Mac OS 10.6 and acrobat pro 8.2.5. Any ideas how to fix would be appreciated.

The same thing happens with pdf files that are not zip files even if saved from Acrobat Pro on my computer.

New Acrobat Pro installed and EVERY PDF file crashes after about 10 seconds. Any Solutions?

I just purchased and installed Acrobat Pro v. 10.1.2 and it seemed to install fine ,but now EVERY ODF crashes after about 10 seconds. Also, I get the Windows "please wait while Windows Configures Acrobat" message every time I launch Acrobat. Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?

Good day,
I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble.
Could you try the following:
Launch Acrobat, but do not open a PDF file.
Choose Edit > Preferences. Click on 'Internet' on the left-hand side.
Uncheck 'Display PDF in Browser'
Relaunch Acrobat - do you still get the 'Please wait while Windows configures Acrobat' message?
If that message has stopped coming up, please try opening a PDF file. Does Acrobat still crash?
Do you have any other versions of Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed on this computer?
What version of Windows do you have installed? What version of Internet Explorer is installed?
Kind regards,
David

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Lion Printer Error

My MacBook Pro came with Lion already installed. I installed a new copy of Acrobat Pro 9 and it worked fine... including printing to both my Canon Pixma and Brother Laser printers. I installed Lion 7.1.2 update and when I tried to print an Acrobat file I received an error message with both printers in the printer dialogue box. Example below. When I click the resume printer arrow there is a momentary shift to where the doc should print but then it goes back to the error state. I cannot print an Acrobat file from either the File>Print menu or internal Acrobat>Print. Printers work fine with all other applications.
I reinstalled OS X 7.1 and Acrobat again printed without a problem. I had to reinstall 7.1 (don't remember why I did THAT!) and Acrobat stopped pringting again! I have reinstalled Acrobat several times as well as OS X 7.1 but Acrobat will not print. Everything else in Acrobat works. I just upgraded to Acrobat Pro 9.2 but it does not print. I guess I could try OS X 7.2 again. Any suggestions?

Oooops. Screen shot of the printer dialogue box did not print. Sorry abou that!!!
