Adobe and Printing?

Hi, Currently working on a HP Elitebook, windows 7 pro. I am having an issue printing PDF files only (everything else is fine.)
I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and repairing. After selecting print, the file just hangs there and it takes about 10 minutes for a page to come out.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Acrobat 7, needed with FrameMaker 7: How do I get and install an "Adobe PDF printer instance?"

In FrameMaker, when I try to save a FrameMaker file as a PDF file, I get the following message: "FrameMaker could not find Adobe PDF printer instance, which must be installed to execute "Save as PDF" command". I have a sinking feeling that I deleted that printer instance from my list of printers, thinking I did not need such a printer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FrameMaker 7, Acrobat 7 and Reader 9. All reinstalled successfully, EXCEPT still no Adobe PDF printer instance. Thus my question: how do I get and install that Adobe PDF printer instance?
.( I am using a new computer. I still have my old computer available, with the Adobe PDF printer instance on it. If I could find where in the old machine (Windows XP) the files are for it, I could copy them to the new machine).
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just curious,
What is the new machine's OS (& is it 32-bit or 64-bit)?
Be well...

Adobe Reader 9.1.3 Issues with browser viewing and printing

I have several users reporting issues after upgrading to Adobe Reader 9.1.3
Issue #1: User tries to open a PDF on a bank website using Adobe 9.1.3 but receives an error stating file could not be found. Adobe 9 was uninstalled and Adobe 6 re-installed. The file on the bank website was then viewable without issue.
Issue #2: Different user successfully opens pdf on a different bank website, but is unable to print while viewing in browser using Adobe 9.1.3. User had to save file to desktop and reopen locally to print from Adobe 9.1.3. Uninstalling 9.1.3 and re-installing Adobe 6 allowed them to print from the browser successfully.
Issue #3: turning off "View in Browser" causes the error "File cannot be found" when trying to view a PDF on a website. This appears to be happening on sites external to our network, but not on internal sites. Turning on "View in Browser" corrects the problem.
Any assistance that can be provided would be greatly appreciated!

To clarify my previous post, I had already seen http://forums.adobe.com/message/1770581 . I mentioned in my post that I get the message "Preview not supported" when I click the Preview button from the print dialog in Adobe Reader, and thus concluded that the "Preview" workaround discussed in that thread wasn't helping me.
However, re-reading that post, they were talking about using the Mac "Preview" application to print the pdf file. Like every other application (other than Reader) I have tried, the Mac's Preview application prints just fine, and is another workaround.
The only program that doesn't print for me is Adobe Reader.
BTW, I also have an Intel chip in my MacBook Pro.
Re-installing Leopard, as suggested by one post in that thread, is not a reasonable option for this problem.
In fact, since Preview allows me to view and print .pdf's , my solution is probably just going to be not to use Adobe Reader. In fact, had I not been new to the Mac, I would have known that I didn't need Adobe Reader at all.
However, I'm glad this happened, in the sense that I use CS3 on the PC, and had considered moving to CS4 on the Mac. However, since Adobe apparently hasn't figured out how to get printing to work on a Mac from their flagship product (!), I will be sure to do a lot of testing of CS4 before considering buying the upgrade.

Adobe PDF Printer and Adobe Distiller Printer, from where to get these?

I installed Acrobat 7.0 Professional from the CS2 suite. During installation a message came up, "Warning 20225, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 set up was unable to create a new item: The Adobe PDF Printer Converter may be unavailable.
Get last Error: The specified module could not be found."
To convert WORD files to pdf I get "unable to find "Adobe PDF Printer or Acrobat Distiller" printer. I have run the installer in repair mode several times without success. Where from and how do I get the Adobe Printer and/od Distiller printer from. I have searched the Adobe web site with out success. Please help anyone who can.

Yes, the software was installed while logged in as administrator,
anti-virus was disabled too. I first installed AA7 using my original disc
and the same messages came up and the same problem existed i.e.. could not
convert to PDF. Uninstalled the software and installed again using the
serial no given to me by ADOBE help,CS2. Nothing seems to work.

Printing to Adobe PDF printer and getting the same document, possible??

Hello:
I need to split a page A4 into 2 pages, it's possible using print, then tile large pages, the problem is that my original document is black and white, but the generated one has a shades of gray visible when zooming to 800% (and the size is much bigger), so my question is:
is it possible to print a document to Adobe PDF printer and getting exactly the same document?? same size, same black and white
I'm using acrobat6

I suspected as much. I was hopeful it was something like a setting that needed to be changed or a reg hack that needed a bit changed from 0 to 1 to make the printing work as expected. I only installed the local printer to see if the RDP session
tunnel was in fact causing the print size to balloon so I will continue to instruct users to use that instead of the local redirected printer. I am disappointed but not surprised.
Edit:
Additionally I have tested the functionality of setting the GPO settings for Easy Print to use the redirected printer's drivers instead of the ones used by easy print, by setting “Computer
Configuration -> Administrative templates -Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host -> Printer Redirection”.
to “Disabled” but
with no luck. In fact the printer received the proper Adobe PDF driver, but the job went out into print spool hell and was lost to the ether. I have concluded that this approach will not bear any fruit.

Adobe Color Printer Utility and PS CS6

When attempting to print without Color Management in PS CS6 (in the Color Handling section of the Photoshop CS6 Print dialog box) I get a pop-up error message that says I must use the Adobe Color Printer Utility. It refers me to this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/no-color-management-option-missing.html
Yet the page says nothing about CS6, only CS5.
What gives? Is the Utility for CS6?
I want to use ICC profiles when printing but the Utility doesn't have any options for such.

No, it isn't required.
But if you are trying to print calibration targets (aka "no color management"), then you'll need it.
Why is that not in Photoshop? Because the OS vendors keep changing the print APIs and making "no color management" more difficult to implement.

Embedded Images Print Preview and Print Blacked Out - Adobe 9 Pro

Having an issue where images embedded into the file will view properly, but once you print or print preview the images are blacked out. This is regardless of the printer we use.
Is there a setting we are missing?

Thanks for posing this question.
Although fonts have embedding restrictions baked into the font such as preview and print, the real restrictions are to be found in a font's EULA (End User License Agreement) which may have other restrictions including payment of royalties on copies of PDF files or any other asset in which the fonts are embedded.
In the case of any and all fonts sourced from Adobe, not only do you have at least preview and print embedding privileges, but there are no restrictions or royalties required for distribution of files (i.e., PDF, EPS, eBooks, etc.) in which the Adobe fonts are embedded.
In other words, you are “good to go” with Adobe fonts. On the other hand, make no assumption about fonts sourced from other font foundries. Many do not provide such liberal terms!

Can you tell us your version of Reader, version of OS, printer and printer driver?

Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS.

I have read some of the other posts about Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS. I am running Snow Leopard on my IMac with Adobe reader 9.1.3 and have had no problems only when using Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3 for the Mac. There is, however, an extra step, if I recall (some window asking me to make a selection, which came up after I clicked on the "print and bill" button). But everything worked just fine.

Hi,
Thank you for the quick response. I've done that but the problem persists.
A bit about my computer it's Vista, but the folders are a little weird. Default install directory and common files folders are on a different drive. In addition appdata are also on a different drive. However this should not affect sinve I've already re-installed Adobe Reader multiple times and it used to work just fine.
But perhaps the problem is indeed path related. Anybody with more ideas to share?
Thank you in advance.
Update: When I reinstall Adobe Reader and open the file, the first time I try to install Japanese font it does not end with "registering product" but with something like "removing backup files" (see attachment). If I try to install Japanese font again and again, I will get the "registering product" at the final glimpse of the installation pop-up.

Adobe Color Printer Utility and PSCC2014 - why is it required??

Adobe Color Printer Utility was required in CS5 when one needed to print with No Color Management.
Was this not fixed in PSCC/PSCC2014? When I have Color Handling set to Photoshop Manages Colors, in the Color Management section just about the Color Handling Prompt, a yellow exclamation mark appears and the hypertext, "Please use Adobe Color Printer Utility if you need to print with No Color Management."
Clicking this link sends me to this webpage:
No Color Management option missing | Printing | Photoshop CS5<------
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/no-color-management-option-missing.html
Is the Adobe Color Printer Utility compatible with/required in PSCC2014?

No, it isn't required.
But if you are trying to print calibration targets (aka "no color management"), then you'll need it.
Why is that not in Photoshop? Because the OS vendors keep changing the print APIs and making "no color management" more difficult to implement.

Adobe Professional 9.0 display and print quality.

When I installed Adobe 9.0 it viewed and printed fine. Now it's unreadable. What settings do I need to change to get the viewing and printing back to where it's readable?

This happened to me late last year and through this forum I was able to follow setting changes I believe in my Abode Preferences and it worked. Then my computer crashed, but when I reinstalled Adobe Professional it was fine.
Then, we hired a new assistant for me. She installed Abode Professional 9.0 on a new computer (different version of course), and it was working fine in the beginning like mine did, and then one day she previewed a pdf and printed and the quality of the print became so low quality you couldn't read the text. Pictures are fine. I know it has to do something with the setting in preferences, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was that I changed to fix this problem. You help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Adobe PDF printer and "Start printing after last page is spooled"

Hi,
After calling the Belgian Support for Adobe Product, I'm trying to have some information here.
Hope to get some help.
We use acrobat pro XI on windows 7 client and when we print a test page with the "adobe pdf" print queue on network share, we get a printing error when the "start printing after last page is spooled" is selected in the advanced tab of the printer queue. (document is not generated, and stay in the spooler with an error).
This problem is not present if printed localy or when we use the "start printing immediately" or "print directly to the printer".
The support agent from adobe Belgium told me that the reason is generating adobe pdf on network share is not a supported operation. We have to save the document localy all the time.
Is it really an answer from Adobe ?
Do you have an other explanation ?
Thanks for your help,

Thanks for your very good explanation Dov.
We use Adobe livecycle for this kind of purpose.
The situation described is diffrent, but you completely repond and I will be able to have some element to find a solution.
In fact, I'm implementing a softwate called DeviceLock, used to control connected devices (usb, network, drive). But this software, once installed, change the local printer parameters from "print directly to the printer" to ""start printing after last page is spooled".
As we use redirected folder in our environment and users cannot use local drive (for user's data backup) you will understand the problem.
Of course, we should be able to force the correct settings back, But Devicelock seem to change this settings after policy refresh.
I have contact with Devicelock about this problem of course as their software modify the settings, but was looking for a reason why we were not able to use the "start printing after last page is spooled" parameters with adobe Printer.
Thanks for your explanation,
PS:The driver's dialog won't prevent you from setting “Start printing after last page is spooled” or “Print directly to the printer” but setting either of those options will cause the operations to fail as you note.
note that only "Start printing after last page is spooled" cause an error and this, only for network share location. The "print directly to the printer" or the "start printing immediately" work fine either on a local drive and a network share
