Adobe pdf 8.0 save locations

When I make a pdf in AICS3 with adobe pdf 8.0, it automatically saves it to the desktop. Does anyone know how to change the save location?
thanks,
Jacob L.

You can select the 'Ask for PDF Destination' optionin Distiller /
Preferences, do this once and then it should always save to this destination

Print Adobe PDF: Choose file save location

Currently, when I select Print, then select Printer: Adobe PDF 9.0, and press Print, the PDF file is saved to my Desktop. Where is the preference setting to save the PDF file somewhere of my choosing?

Thanks Lady Designer, your method works. However, it's too many steps for what I'll need to do. I have approximately 200 e-mail messages to print to file. It'd be much faster to select a message, Command+P, Enter, and continue with the next message. Your method requires the additional steps of clicking on the PDF button and selecting Save As PDF.
You're probably thinking, "Why doesn't he just select all the messages and print once?" I tried that.
When I choose to the PDF button and Save As PDF, no matter how many multiple messages I choose, only one of the messages turns into a PDF file. The other messages, despite being (apparently) processed, do not become PDF files. In fact, they become nothing; I know what happens to them.
When I choose to print using Adobe PDF 9.0 as my printer, I'm not given the opportunity to select a destination for multiple files; they automatically print to the Desktop. All the messages, however, do become PDF files.
Unless there's a way to select a file destination to which the Adobe PDF 9.0 printer can default, my choices are to either print-to-file each message one at a time; or print all the messages at once with the one method that works, but that will flood my Desktop with a couple hundred file icons. Although the mess lasts as long as it would take to gather the files into a new folder, I prefer to save myself the trouble.

Adobe PDF Download Custom Save as filename

Hi,

Hopefully someone has seen this one before: I have a pdf document that I am pooping up for the client in a new browser window with the following code. The document pops up beautifully however when the user selects the Save icon from the Adobe toolbar the default name of the document is
unknown
I am wondering if/how the default name can be set.

I assume the browser Adobe plug-in normally gets the document name from the URL but think the Dynpro generated URL is unparsable for the filename and that is not really what I want the document name to be anyway:

<code>
<pre>
public void executeOpenPDFDocument( java.lang.String documentID, java.lang.String salesOrg )
 //@@begin executeOpenPDFDocument()
 // Make Call to Filenet To get Document Store Document in PDFResource
 try {
 // Get Document Content as byte [], create a WebDyn Resource in memory
 byte[] docContentBytes =
 _filenetWebSvc.getPDFDocument(documentID, salesOrg);
 IWDResource r =
 WDResourceFactory.createResource(
 docContentBytes,
 "InvoiceDocument",
 WDWebResourceType.PDF);
 // Turn memory resource into URL and open browser window to it.
 String url =
 WDWebResource
 .getWebResource(r.read(true), r.getResourceType())
 .getAbsoluteURL();
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("AdobeURL:" + url);
 IWDWindow window =
 wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(
 url,
 "Invoice");
 window.setTitle(documentID);
 window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.ADDRESS_BAR);
 window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.MENU_BAR);
 window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.TOOL_BAR);
 window.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.STATUS_BAR);
 window.setWindowSize(800, 1000);
 window.show();
 } catch (Exception e) {
 String m =
 "ExtInvoicesCompCtrlr.openPDFDoc() Exception: "
 + e.getClass().getName()
 + " "
 + e.getLocalizedMessage();
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(m, false);
 //@@end
</pre>
<code>
</pre>

Below is an example of a generated URL from the code above which opens a pdf document in a seperate browser window.

The "Save to Web Receipts" bug existed for a long time - here's a MacOSXHints article offering a workaround in 2007. Here's another reference to it in 2009. Your contention that:
Prior to Mountain Lion, pervious [sic] versions were never over-written.
is, I'm afraid, wrong.
Apple fixed (worked around) that bug by using a .pdfworkflow, as I indicated. As I also indicated, this file can't be opened with Automator (or I just don't know how, which is no great surprise ). But it's the answer to your problems.
You can either wait for Apple to fix what is, admittedly, a huge bug in their PDF Services feature, or you can find a way of implementing the same fix they did for your own folders.
I should be doing the same, as I use PDF Services regularly, but I'm too lazy and have had too little success with Automator in general to give it a shot. You may have more success than I did.
Good luck

Adobe Reader X save location issue

Hi All, i would like to seek expert helps on Adobe Reader save location issues. After we upgrade from Adobe Reader 9 to Adobe Reader X.
There are changes on how save location works in Adobe Reader X
If save PDF via Internet Explorer – the save location will according to last save location, HOWEVER
If save PDF via Adobe Reader X – the save location will set according to location the file is being open
Let me show you what i mean over the pictures
I open a reader_X_help.pdf using Adobe Reader X and then save the file using Ctrl+Shift+S at: C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save
refer my last save location.jpg
Now i want to save another new file back to C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save, I open the file Adobe file2.pdf located at desktop and when i do Ctrl+Shift+S, the location point to my desktop and not C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save
refer my last save location change to desktop.jpg
I have tested this features in Adobe Reader 9 and it's different whereby it's will point according to my last location save.
There is no issue with computer as i have 3 machine running different enviroment, Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 Enterprise, and all using same version of Adobe Reader X version 10.0.1.
So my questions & concern:
Is there any way to change the save location features same as Adobe Reader 9?
If YES, how to do it? By Computer Changes or Adobe Reader X packages modification using Adobe Customization tools?
If NO, Where can i find this source of documentation stated about this new changes so i can publish this information in HP website as new design changes to avoid complaint or negative feedback.
Looking forward for expert reply as soon.
Thank you very much and Have a great day.
Best Regards

Solved it!
1-go to "edit", select Preferences.
2-select from the left pane: Security (enhanced)
3-click on "add folder path" button just below the big white box
4-pick a folder of your choice and click "ok". (your selected folder path will appear in that white box above the "add folder path" button in step 3)
5-if you want to add additional folders, just repeat steps 3 & 4
6-once you are done, click "ok" on the preferences screen and click "ok" again to accept the changes.
Yes, it seems illogical, but it worked.
I tested by closing the Reader (X), then surfed the web and did what Neher5 was explaining he/she wanted to do just after opening a pdf from a website and lo-and-behold, it worked!. No more "save to temp folder" issues.
Hope this helps.

Problem with "Save as Adobe PDF format" in Excel and Word

Hi
When I use printing zone in Excel and make a «Save as Adobe PDF format» (menu File / Save as Adobe PDF), the first save is well done. But when I make it a second time, what's not in the printing zone is printing in the document.
I have also problem with the «Save as Adobe PDF format» in Word. The images superposition are not well print.
I'm using Windows 7 in french, Office 2010 french and Adobe Acrobat XI standard. All is in the latest version.
Thanks

The Save As PDF feature in Office2008 Call up a PDF Creator similar to the AdobePDF Print Driver. whch OX.6 can't use.
To create Pdf you have to use method used:
http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-leopard.php
Not before you attempt to use this method if Rossetta is not installed. pop in your Systems DVD and install Rosetta. Then follow directions to install the Adobe Quality PDF Automator Script which will show up in the Print Menu. Click on Print > then click PDF. Then Click on Adobe quality PDF. AS for setting up Job options and other details Supposedly your suppose to have access. But I have no idea.
First thing Rosetta should be installed out of the box. and Second Adobe should install this Script from their installer. So their should be no intervention from the user. it should just work. Early report when OSX.6 first came out almost no one was able to get this to work. and I see periodic reports that people still can't get it tork and they have to to resort to saving as .ps files then droping on distiller.
Good luck.

Printing to Adobe PDF repeatedly from Excel macro causes Adobe PDF to ignore preferences

I have an Excel macro that uses Acrobat's virtual "Adobe PDF" printer to save each sheet of an Excel spreadsheet to a separate PDF file. To do this, I have set up the PDF printer to save automatically to the folder C:\PDF without prompting and not to open each PDF file after it is created. These preferences are respected when the macro prints the first sheet, but when it prints the second and third sheets, the PDF printer starts displaying its "Save As" dialog again and opening each PDF file after it is created. When I go back to the printer preferences after the macro finishes, the preferences that I set are still there, and if I run the macro again I get exactly the same behavior. This behavior is problematic because the macro expects each PDF file to be saved to a predictable location so that it can rename them. Side note: this print-then-rename technique works fine when I use the open source PDFCreator program instead of Acrobat. (Hello, Adobe?)

Use the settings in the Acrobat Distiller API Reference. You can find this document in the Acrobat SDK.

PDF will not save via Save Icon on Web Browser (All), but will save using Print option. How can I resolve this issue?

Good morning all!
I am trying to publish a fillable form to a website for users to fill out. The trouble is that I myself can fill out the form when I click the link, and save it using the disc icon. However when I have other users click it, they can fill out the form on the PDF in the internet browser, but cannot save it using the disc icon that pops up on the bottom right hand corner. I discovered that if I Save As Adobe PDF, it will save my information. When I try using the disc icon to save a physical copy, the information is completely missing from the field in the PDF, as if I never filled it out before.
Since other users of all walks are going to be using it, I can't exactly give explicit instructions on how to use the work around for this, since it's intuitive to click the disc icon. Can anyone offer help regarding this issue?
Some other pieces of information:
I am using the Save as Other -> Reader Extended PDF -> Enable More Tools (Includes form fill-in and save), yet users cannot save the information typed in on the web browser PDF form.
Thank you for your time and help.

https://gsbs.uth.edu/dotAsset/93e2c3b0-ca8d-4335-b053-c608eb79def0.pdf
Thanks for your reply.
We're using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.10 (Latest update)
This looks to be the only PDF with the issue on fillable forms, but we have not yet posted any others with this issue.
From that link, you can fill out the form, but when you click the pop up Disc icon on the bottom right, it does not save your typed in information. This happens on Firefox, Chrome, and IE. However when you click the print icon and Print as PDF, it saves the information you typed in.
Thank you for your help.

How can I preserve RGB color within Adobe PDF?

I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.3.1, OS 10.6, and I'm creating PDF output from Keynote, strictly for on-screen viewing. I would like to use Acrobat Pro to create a compact PDF file with screen-resolution graphics, however I keep running into problems with color changes applied by Acrobat.
The document contains bright RGB colors. It also contains images, some of which are high DPI resolution.
* If I use the OS X "Save As PDF..." feature, the generated file is about 32 MB. Opening the resulting file with Preview, the file looks fine. Opening the resulting file with Acrobat, though, shows the bright colors in the file as very drab-- almost as though it's been compressed into CMYK space. Once it's in Acrobat, I can use the PDF Optimizer and save it as a mostly-adequate 10 MB file, but the color issue is annoying.
* If I use the "Save as Adobe PDF" feature, and save the file with "standard" settings, the resulting PDF file is 27 MB. If opened in Acrobat, it shows the same CYMK-like color compression, and if opened in Preview, it shows the bright colors.
* If I use the "Save as Adobe PDF" feature, and save the file with "PDF/A-1b:2005 (RGB)" settings, the resulting PDF file is 50 MB. In both Acrobat and Preview, it shows up with full and correct colors. So obviously Acrobat is capable of handling RGB after all. But this format is not really compatible-- it throws a warning about viewing in that format, and has all kinds of graphical glitches. And, the file is even larger than I started with.
So, what I would like to know is this: How can I set up acrobat to let me produce those nice 10 MB files, without showing the funny color compression?

Ummm... not quite sure where you get that from, colour managed means converted as per settings in the device or application. Acrobat preset for PDFX/1a specs a conversion to cmyk. Other presets include RGB or unconverted and these are chosen by the app or user.
This is where your problem is, something inside Keynote is applying a conversion. I was just eliminating the obvious, not just for you but for other, less knowledgeable readers.
Preview will use the monitor or sRGB profile and the only way to make sRGB or equivalents look flat is to feed it an untagged file that belonged to a very different gamut.
3. Yes, conversion is happening. That's what I'm trying to prevent.
By definition, not converting means UNmanaged.. what you were calling unmanaged before is actually MISmanaged.
As mentioned, Acrobat, to my knowledge does not convert without being told to. That instruction comes from the built-in actions of the application in question or a user choice and you may not be able to address the former. If the former was the case then you might be able to work around by preparing your original file in a small gamut like sRGB and then it doesn't matter what Acrobat does unless you chose an unsuitable conversion at the user level.
> Acrobat preset for PDFX/1a specs a conversion to cmyk.
Okay. That confirms what's going on. Is there a way to turn this setting off, open the file, and then save it?
>This is where your problem is, something inside Keynote is applying a conversion.
No, actually keynote is irrelevant. You can blame it and its color mismanagement all day, but the fact is that the change happens when it's opened in Acrobat with the default settings. We know this because PS or PDF generated by keynote shows up okay in Preview or in that RGB PDF generated by distiller. It's absolutely unambiguous. I know that Acrobat is capable of converting the file without converting the color because it can make that RGB PDF. I know that my monitor isn't totally whacked because if I view that same "RGB PDF" on a different machine and/or OS, it look fine there too. But what I want to know is how to create that "RGB PDF" without the crazy bloat and iffy file format. There must be some settings that can be applied in Distiller to get this done.
From the suggestions that have been made here, it sounds like not many people have actually used recent versions of Acrobat Pro or Distiller on the Mac. (Options like "Email Files" and "PDFX4 2008" aren't there, converting PS files appears to broken, print to PDF is broken....) That's okay, I don't expect you to know everything about this. But, telling me just to not use the color blue or that my other programs are to blame isn't exactly helpful either. Am I asking the questions in the right place? Is there some Adobe tech support venue that's more appropriate?

Adobe PDF printer 'printing' garbage characters

Acrobat Professional v9.5.0 (Acrobat reports there are no updates available)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I print from various applications and web pages to my 'Adobe PDF' printer to save things as PDF files.
Over the last several months, I have begun to have issues with printing to my Adobe PDF printer. This issue happened twice just yesterday, actually.
I will be looking at a web page, and choose to print it to PDF (a purchase receipt for example). I supply the filename and choose to print, and Acrobat will bring up the newly created PDF and it will have garbage characters in various places.
If I try printing it to PDF again, I get the same results.
However, if I print the item to Microsoft XPS format, it works just fine and all the characters are readable.
I don't know what to do. I saw an article about embedding the fonts, but it appears that all the standard 'web safe fonts' are already set to be embedded in PDF files via distiller (if that is what is actually doing the printing to create the PDF). If I have to choose more fonts to embed into the PDF, it seems to be extremely difficult to determine what fonts are being used by each site or application and choosing them all manually to be embedded in the files.
Surely there has to be a simpler solution to this issue.

I too had this annoying issue, usually printing from https sites, although the site address may be coincidental.
What worked for me was:
Select Print
In the print dialog box, select Adobe PDF and then Preferences.
In the Printing Preferences dialog box the tab should be Adobe PDF Settings
Uncheck the box next to Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts
Select OK
If the box is already unchecked, it might be caused by something similar. This worked so I went no further. I have not yet checked to see if this must be done each time or how to make it default.

Adobe PDF Printer No Longer Available After Acrobat X Install

I've been using Acrobat 8 Pro for several years. To generate PDFs, I use the Adobe PDF printer (through FrameMaker). I recently installed Acrobat X Pro. Now there's no Adobe PDF printer. Save as PDF doesn't work (no PDF generated). I need to get the Adobe PDF printer back but cannot find any information about how to install it. All the Acrobat Distiller help has to say is that you should use the Adobe PDF printer. Not helpful at all.

Good day,
I'd like to see if I can help you.

Did the Adobe PDF Printer install with your trial?
What application did you author the file in that you'd like to convert to PDF?
Did you print your file from that application to the Adobe PDF Printer?
And to correct and continue to evaluate the "TRIAL" version I must delete the working version of software so that the "TRIAL" Version will be able to create a PDF!!!!(30 Min)
And if I don't like the "TRIAL" version I have to Reinstall the Original.
(30 Min)
Do you mean that you had a previous version of Acrobat (such as Adobe Acrobat 8 or 9) installed?
If so, this is not surprising as we do not support multiple versions of Acrobat installed on the same computer.

Adobe pdf files not saving

Since transfering my program to Win8, I have been unable to get my Adobe pdf documents to save. They just disappear after naming them. How can I fix this?

Hi risscand,
Are you still facing this issue or your issue has been resolved?
Regards,
Rahul

Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error, so you can load Firefox again.

Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error. I have Windows XP (Media Center Edition) and all updates (Firefox, Adobe PDF, Microsoft, virus protection, etc) are installed. This has only been a problem since Firefox 4, and isn't a problem in Internet Explorer.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

"Save to Adobe PDF" missing in Mac print dialog

I've just upgraded to a new machine, and the "Save to Adobe PDF" option is missing from the PDF drop-down menu in the print dialogue. I'm running Mac OS 10.8.3 and CS 6. I believe that Acrobat X is supposed to automatically install this option into the main print dialog; what can I do to get it installed if it got left out of the initial CS6 installaion?

OK thank you. I feel like I'm still not quite getting my question across. I don't think that PDF Maker is what I was using last week before I got a new machine; wasn't that the thing that showed up in the upper portion of the Print dialog, in amongst your physical printers? That is not what I was using. I was using the Save to Adobe PDF.app (an Automator app) that stays in the PDF Services folder in the Library. You access it via the PDF button in the bottom left of the Print dialog. This was using Acrobat 9 and OS 10.6.
Your description above makes it sound like when I go to that button I would get a contextual menu that lets me choose the quality of the PDF. I don't have that choice. This is the contextual menu I get under PDF in the Print dialog:
I used to have an additional entry there in the middle section called Save to Adobe PDF. That brought up a dialog with a drop down menu that showed all of the preset settings I have made for PDF creation, and I could choose my quality there, choose a location, and save. I had full control over all the settings. I just need a choice that brings up that dialog, and Save as PDF doesn't do it (it just uses the native OS PDF generator).
The second method does not work on my machine either. If I try to drag a Word doc into Acrobat it tells me it is not a supported file type, and says "To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF." this indicates to me that somewhere I should still have the ability to choose Adobe PDF rather than Mac OS PDF.
I can save to PostScript and drop the file onto Distiller -- as long as the Distiller settings are set correctly already, because it starts creating the PDF immediately with no dialog in between to make choices. I can live with that, but I would rather have my Automator workflow back to do it in one step. (sadly I don't know enough about Automator right now to easily do this myself, but maybe this is a good chance to learn.)
I know that I have seen this workflow mentioned as something that is installed along with Acrobat X but maybe people are mistaken about that and it was just left over from a previous install. I know for sure that the workflow that was working on the old machines was outdated; it was 32-bit and can't even be opened in the current version of Automator. So the old one clearly won't work any more. For now I'm going to set up a Distill folder on my desktop with the settings I use most often, and direct my PS files there.
Thanks for the detailed reply even though I can't quite make it all work!

Your comment all software is up to date is wrong.
Unless You using a PowerPC Machine OSX up to 9.1
Acrobat X may be at 10.1.8 but the newest available is Acrobat 11.0.4
And what seriously out of date and may be causing your issues is That Office2011 is up 14.3.9 By using out of date application may cause part of your issues. Note it does take a Long time to process a Large document
If you can get the PDF to open
Look for and Choose Optimized PDF or PDF Optimzer
click fonts if you see any duplicate Fonts
example two or three copies or more of say Helvetica Bold Italic
click on all but one of them and move to unembed
Repeat with all Fonts that have duplicates.
Then click okay when done.
This issue can be caused by older versions of software.
But if downloaded from a PC the number one reason is that unlike Mac in which your old allowed one copy of a Font/Font Family. PC doesn't care how many copies fonts there are on the computer. Whatever app just choose one to use at that moment. So you could have 20 versions of Helvetica bold Italic and the syetem doesn't care.
I've received PDF from PDF's from PC's and there have been as many as 10 copies of one font. Once optimized the files size went down.

Pre-configure save location for converting files to PDF from shell context menu

Hi all,
I like Acrobat's integration into the Windows Explorer through the shell context menu command "Convert to PDF", which allows me to drag select a number of files (word documents et cetera) to batch convert them into PDF. It beats doing batch processing fr the Acrobat interface.
However, it asks me for the save location of each file individually. I would like to have them saved in the same directory as the original file, as the default option so I won't have to attend to the conversion. I can't find such an option in Acrobat's preferences menu though
Any gurus or users here know of a way around that?
Regards,
Jay

Does your user have custom add-ons besides the Acrobat PDFMaker add-on? If so, try disabling the other add-ons as a test to see if you get the same results.
Does your user have a custom template? Try moving it out and using the standard MS Word template as test?
Did your user have a previous installation of Adobe Acrobat?? If so, check the Add-ons to see if an older version is still registered with MS Word.
