Adobe as a printer

I just bought Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for my new MacBook which runs on OSX Version 10.9.2 I would like to have Adobe as a printer option. Does anyone know what I need to do? My old Windows based laptop can use my 4 year old Acrobat Pro 9 as a printer so I was surprised when I did not automatically have this option after installing Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac.

Only Acrobat 9 updated and Acrobat X have been written to support the Windows 7 OS. You will have to purchase and install an update version.

Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document. I have CS3

Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document. I have CS3 Web Premium with Acrobat Professional 8. I use it fine on my old computer with Windows XP. I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7. I installed all my Adobe programs, and I think they are working. When I look at Adobe PDF in the device section of the Control Panel it looks okay. But when I try to print a Word, Photoshop, or HTML page in PDF, nothing happens. I have tried printing both as File>print and using the PDF tab on the top menu bar. I look at the device in the control panel and it has the yellow error warning symbol and suggests trying to troubleshoot. I look at the document list and it says status "error". When I try troubleshooting Windows suggests doing some Home Sharing and also suggests canceling the document I'm trying to print. I tried re-installing just Acrobat 8 from CS3 (and have to use Photoshop CS4 disk for shared documents I guess). I ran into a can't locate adobepdf_dll file, so did a web search on this issue and found a suggestion that I find and use the adobepdf_dll_64 file and may have to (I did have to) remove the "_64" for it to work. I think I successfully reinstalled using that dll file- no errors came up anyway. But still when I try printing/converting a photoshop, webpage, or word document into pdf, the pdf device in control panel still gives the error status on the document and gives the same troubleshooting advice. Help?

I just compared the properties between the two computers. On the old computer it has the port as "My Documents/*.pdf". On my new computer it lists the port as "LPT1". I tried changing the port to "Print as File", but when I try printing a photoshop picture as pdf, I get a "Access Denied". I then tried to create a new port on the device control panel. I tried to create a local port "My Documents/*.pdf" port but was denied. I ten tried to create a new port type and control panel asked for an INF file. I wonder if this is where my problem lies. Thoughts?

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?
These two things need to be remedied in their upgrades because It's become such a bother I've had to revert to older versions of PS.

Yea, and it's a pain to get to. What was the rational for removing the print size button? With the magnifying glass tool selected in older versions of Photoshop you would get a button that says "print size" right next to Actual pixels, Fit Screen, Fill Screen. Now I have to go out of my way and dig for it if I want to see the print size. Of all the buttons you could have taken away, why not fill screen? I never use that.
Besides the point I just downloaded the Oct Upgrade for PS and surprise! Nothing has changed and these are two big black eyes on newer versions of Photoshop. The Brush preview window is unchanged in CC but in CC2014 it's basically worthless. If you apply a texture to a brush you can't properly see the scale of the texture, the spacing, scatter, etc...

How do I install adobe as a printer?

I need to print a .pdf from word. I bought the Adobe pack, why is it not showing as a printer choice?

Hi amydipaolo,
The Adobe CreatePDF Desktop printer is available for Windows only. If you're on Windows, you should see al ink to download and install the printer on the CreatePDF page when you're logged in to https://cloud.acrobat.com. I know there are plans to retire that printer, but just checked and the download is still available. Click "Download CreatePDF Desktop Tool" and then follow these instructions to set it up: Install and configure Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer
If you're on Mac OS, this option is available to you. But, you could download a free 30-day trial of Acrobat and could then "print" to PDF from Word.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Best,
Sara

Where do my Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer Files Go?

I've spent hours looking through the Adobe website for a simple answer to a simple question.
One reader replied that all you have to do is log on to your account and you will find the document right there. Good guess, but sorry. Not so. Just to test his theory I printed 500,000 pages. I watched the Windows 7 print window to make sure all pages got spooled and printed. They did, but they cannot be found.
My congratulations to Adobe for the company with best no customer support support. Once I log on there is no where to enter a simple question. You can however enter something to start a discussion. Maybe, just maybe someone might happen along and make a correct guess. Who knows?
And then you find a page like this one:
Whoops. Just like Adobe. Set up a window to enter an Image. Select the image, meet the requirements. Select the image. An hour later no image, no error message, but the window is still up and active.
When you open the Printer window, and it shows the files printing to Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer, why do some files have the status of "error?" What does "error" mean? Where can I find what "error" is there and how to fix it? Or am I just some dumb ******* who gives up my money for nothing in return.
Adobe is as adobe has always been. Impossible to navigate. Slow, slow, slow. And impossible to get any customer service. And I am the dumbhead that pays for it.

This document should help explain a bit What is the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer and how do I install it? The files get stored back in your online account.
Also, make sure you have this information completed as well.

Unable to use Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer

I want to convert a web page (html) to a PDF document. When I tried to do this using my Adobe PDF Pack, I received a message indicating that I would have to do it using the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer. So, I downloaded and installed the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer as directed. I went to the web page and printed the document to the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer, as directed in the instructions. I received the following error message: Could not open the file. Access is denied.
What do I do now?

I get exactly the same result. It doesn't work. Please note that I am
trying to SAVE the web page as a PDF file. That is, I am trying to convert
a web page (html) to a PDF document. I am not trying to print it. I want
a copy of the PDF version of the web page to save on my computer.
In any event, printing it does not work. I get the same error message I
indicated in my first missive. And, yes, my printer is working just fine.
Please: tell me how to use the

You can save the file to one of the supported formats or use the PDF printer

"To convert a file type not listed above, use

and downloaded the Adobe CreatePDF Printer. I followed these instructions:
"Print To PDF Setup
The Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer lets you convert any file (in a

the file. Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer converts the file to PDF, and then
stores the PDF file in your Acrobat.com account."
So, the instructions say that the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer will
convert a file to PDF and store it in my Acrobat.com account. It doesn't do
that. I tried just printing it (after selecting Adobe CreatePDF Desktop
Printer). I also tried printing to file. In both cases, I get an error
message, and there is no file stored in my Acrobat.com account.
It doesn't work.
Please fix!

I just installed Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer, when I try to use from Word or Excel, it does not work. The Adobe print queue says "error" in the status screen. I have uninstalled and re-installed. Any ideas of what to do next?

I just installed Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer on a Windows 7 home PC. When I try to use from Word or EWxcel, it does not print. The Adobe print device queue reports an "error" in the status column.

Adobe retired this Feb 17, 2014.
This app sent content to and got content from the web based services of "CreatPDF" and "PDF Pack".
These are subscription services out in "the cloud". When the app was live you had to be online and signed into your account. The user forum for CreatePDF has a DOC that speaks to the app removal.
Be well...

My Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer is not working

When I print a file to this printer, it keeps showing up in the printer status with an error message. I've already run the Microsoft hotfix that is linked to this problem. Alternatively, how else can I print one tab from an excel worksheet? When I go online to my adobe pack subscription, I can only convert the entire document and don't have the capability to edit the document once it's converted (ie to remove the pages I don't want). Please help!!

Hi,
Are you using Windows 7 SP1 (64 bit)? If so, please uninstall Adobe CreatePDF Desktop printer from Control Panel then restart Windows and re-install CreatePDF Desktop printer.
If that does not work then please verify the Adobe PS printer driver at C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3 folder for PSCRIPT files( See below screenshot)

Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer

I have a subscription to Adobe CreatePDF. I've downloaded the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer and can see it in my list of printers. However, when I try to print a doc using the Desktop Printer, the doc doesn't print and I get 'error' under status. I've tried reinstalling the Desktop Printer but that hasn't helped. Can you advise?

I had this same problem. I'm running Windows 7, Service Pack 1. That was the problem. After countless times installing and uninstalling the Desktop Printer, with no success fixing the problem, I finally came across a notice from Adobe that Windows 7, Servicce Pack 1 is to blame. The only fix is to go to Microsoft and download a hotfix for the issue. Microsoft will email you a link to the hotfix. The hotfix is downloaded as a zip file. I recommmend extracting it to your desktop and then double clicking the extracted file. (The default extraction process wanted to dump it somewhere I couldn't ever find on my system. That's why I recommend extracting to your desktop.)
After a system restart, the Desktop Printer should work just fine. It did for me.
This is the link Microsoft emailed to me:
http://hotfixv4.microsoft.com/Windows%207/Windows%20Server2008%20R2%20SP1/sp2/Fix381852/76 00/free/437635_intl_x64_zip.exe
You can also try searching for KB Article Number: 2616471
Even though, this is a Microsoft issue, I'm very angry that Adobe doesn't have the courtesy to save us all a bunch of headache by including a disclaimer and/or instructions for the hotfix next to the install Desktop Printer instructions. I mean, isn't the majority of Adobe's customers running Windows 7, Service Pack 1? What a freaking waste of my time it was to go through this hassle.

How to install Adobe as a printer in control panel?

I just changed computers. On my old computer, I was able to select Adobe in the printer list to save a document or excel file as a PDF file. However, on my new computer, I am not able to figure out how to get Adobe installed in the printer list. I'm running Windows XP Pro and cleanly installed Adobe Reader 9.0. I have searched the support and forums on this site but am unable to find my answer.
Any guidance will be most appreciated.

>I am not able to figure out how to get Adobe installed in the printer list
Easy. Install Adobe Acrobat. Reader doesn't come with the PDF printer.

Adobe Reader not printing correctly

PDF Reader is not printing the document except as an icon in the bottom right hand side of the printer.

You will have better luck live chatting with Adobe or your printer manufacturer.

Using the Adobe Forms for printing through portal

Hi All,
I've got a problem with the fact that I do not know exactly how to use the Adobe Forms from the portal.
I've got the Form Objects done (Interface & Form using SE80) and they work OK when testing the form. The Interface gathers all the datas etc. and the form displays this correctly.
My problem now is that I need to have this form available from the portal, and this I presume needs some WebDynPro stuff or something else? I'm totally lost on this part ...
The customer wants to have a button or link in the portal that opens a new window with the produced PDF opened in the new window, much like opening a static PDF file. The user then has the option to print the PDF him/herself using Adobe Readers own print mechanism.
My interface has only one Import parameter (PERNR number) and one EXPORT parameter (default). The PERNR number must be supplied to the interface so that it can gather all the needed data based on this number.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated and rewarded accordingly.
Thankyou in advance,
Kim

Hi Arnab,
from a forms point of view:
(I assume you have the ADS up and running on the Java stack. Without it, the form generation doesn't work.)
If you create your form in transaction SFP and execute the corresponding program that calls the form for testing in SE38, you get to the print dialogue. Here you may choose either locl or lp01 (or any other printer accessible through your network) and then select Print Preview. This should then display the PDF in SAP GUI.
If you are asking about general printer setup within SAP, check the corresponding documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/d9/4a8eb751ea11d189570000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Hope this helps,

Why doesn't Adobe see my printer?

I cannot print my PDF files. I have a new Toshiba laptop, use Windows7, and just downloaded the latest version of Adobe. When I select Print, the default printer is a Lexmart 800. I don't have that printer. The only printer I have installed ( I checked on it) is an Officejet 6500A from HP. Any way to let Adobe know what printer I have?
