Adobe PDF 9.0 printer not working

Hi,
I use Acrobat 9 Professional here and Adobe PDF printer doesn't work.
Distiller notify " /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/PDFX4 2008.joboptions
/CheckCompliance out of range".
What's the problem?

I've just upgraded to Acrobat Pro 9 (actually 9.1.3) for supposed Snow Leopard compatibility and was having the same problem with the "save as Adobe PDF" workflow crashing. Interestingly (or not), if I created a Postscript file and then manually ran it through the Distiller everything was fine, although the Distiller seems to be running much more slowly than the Distiller for Acrobat 8 did under Leopard. This led me to the conclusion that the problem was in the workflow itself rather than with the components that the workflow calls.
I found that there were actually three copies of "Save as Adobe PDF.action" on my box. One was in root/Library/Automator, one was in root/Users/UserID/Library/Automator, and the third was in root/System/Library/Automator. For some reason the Adobe Updater must have put the workflow in all three. Regardless, by eliminating all except the version in root/System/Library/Automator the workflow started behaving and I was able to cut PDFs directly from the Print dialog.
This may not work for everyone, but it may be worth a try.

  • Adobe PDF 8.0 Printer not working

    I have tried to use the Adobe PDF 8.0 printer but all it does is send the info to the printer and then the Queue stops. I have had a look at other forums and tried everything like deleting the printer and then going into acrobat and repairing it and repairing privileges. Still none of this works... I have run out of ideas.
    I did note that in the Acrobat Professional manual that it mentions the following:
    > n the pop-up menu below the Presets menu, choose PDF Options, and set any of the following options:
    Now my print windows don't have this option or as latter described in the manual an option in the driver to change the PDF preset. I'm wondering if I am missing something. If somebody could please help it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    FIXED IT!!!<br /><br />I worked out that all the problems came down to a single file in my preferences: ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.print.AdobePDF8/com.adobe.print.AdobePDF8.Defaults.xml<br /><br />now I opened it up and compared it to a version that was working...<br /><br />>** Excerpt from not working version **<br /><br />><dict><br />                    <key>com.adobe.print.AdobePDF.PrintSettings.PDFJobOptionsPath</key> <br />                    <string>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/Test(1).joboptions</string><br /><br />>** Excerpt from working version **<br /><br />><dict><br />                    <key>com.adobe.print.AdobePDF.PrintSettings.PDFJobOptionsPath</key> <br />                    <string>default</string><br /><br />I think what was going on was that the printer was trying to print to job options that either dont exist or dont work... It would stop the queue and also the printer didnt even have any PDF setting in the print dialog box. Now it works fine.<br /><br />So all you would have to do is delete the file, delete the printer from the print manager and then repair the printer from Acrobat and I should work fine!

  • Adobe PDF won't print non-working time colour in MS Project

    Adobe PDF won't print the colour chosen for non-working times in MS Project.  I have tried changing the colour, changing the style, moving non-working time in front of tasks and have fiddled with the printer properties, all to no avail.  It ignores whatever style I have for non-working time and makes a blank space, although it will take gridline changes . . . . please help!

    Thank you for providing the suggestion and the Cleanup tools, however they did not help.
    I ran each version of the cleanup tool, and for each I had it clean up Reader and Acrobat (i.e. 4 separate cleanup operations).  I then rebooted the machine, and installed Reader 11.0.3.
    Still had the same behavior:  Reader will not print.  I tried printing to a second printer (that is attached via USB)...and it did not work either.  I also tried printing to a Cute PDF Writer print driver...and that did not work either.  In each case, no print data made it to the Windows print queue (as demonstrated by watching the queue while printing.)  No error was raised, but no print data was transmitted.
    I then uninstalled Reader 11.0.3, rebooted, and re-installed Reader 9:  printing works fine now.
    There is definitely something in Reader 10 and Reader 11 that breaks printing in some environments.    (As you alluded to...I have seen a number of postings online about printing problems in Reader.)
    More details about my environment:
    Windows 7 Professional N (Version 6.1, Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
    VMWare virtual machine
    Two virtual CPUs (each: Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz, 2673 Mhz, 1 core, 1 Logicial Processor)
    Hardware Abstraction Layer:  6.1.7601.17514
    RAM:  3096 (allocated to virtual machine)
    Bridged networking
    VMware host:

    18 Gig RAM
    Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @2.67 GHz

  • Adobe pdf pack monthly subscription not working

    Hi Shawscope,
    Are you still facing this issue?
    What is the version of Acrobat installed on your machine. Adobe PDF printer gets installed with Acrobat.
    Have you tried to install latest updates for Acrobat.

  • Adobe PDF Document in Safari not working

    Hello,
    Recently put Abobe Creative Suite on my MacBook Pro - which is working fine. But when I go to view a PDF online with Safari it brings up this message:
    Tried reinstalling Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat works fine generally opening PDFs so not sure what's wrong. Google Chrome on my MacBook Pro can view PDFs like normal.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro (Editable PDF Combobox Search is not working properly.)

    I have created Editable PDF using itext(5.3.0) in java. I have used Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro.  But in editable PDF combobox search is  not working properly.
    It's only search first character.

    My (admittedly old and slow) system did this too the first time I opened Reader 11, but it "unfroze" after about fifteen seconds, (an eternity in computing time, I know, but it did eventually open all the way) What you're seeing on the right is the "Tools" panel initializing. That's exactly where mine would freeze up on starting. Once it did finally open fully, I clicked the "Tools" link at the top to close the panel, and I opened and viewed a document that way, then closed reader. Now when I open Reader, the Tools panel doesn't initialize and it opens immediately.
    Reboot and before you open anything else, open Reader. When you open it, DO NOT try to do anything with it until it fully opens, don't click anything, don't try to switch to another app. Give it time to open fully, and then click the Tools link to close it. Then, open and view a document, and close it. Close Reader and reopen it. the Tools panel should remain closed and Reader should open fully immediately.

  • 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.

  • System wide PDF presets location is not working in CC

    On both Mac and PC, the system wide location for PDF settings (.joboptions) does not work anymore.
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings (on a Mac)
    It is illogical to remove this feature. Even if that folder does not store the main default presets, which are now stored in each application, it still needs to be looked at and loaded from. It's actually illogical to store the same preset in multiple locations (i.e. each application). If there is a preset that is only for a certain application (e.g. Illustrator Default), this could be put in the application folder, but all others like High Quality, Prepress, PDF/X should be in a central location, i.e. where they used to be.
    I know that each user can manually load into their own PDF presets, which then do appear in all suite apps, but this has to be done every time a new user logs into a computer.
    The central location meant that all suite apps would see a custom set of presets automatically across the entire suite and across multiple versions of the suite. The other advantage to the central location is that the presets would appear in square brackets, in other words read only, so they cannot be changed by the user without saving as a new file.
    Having users manually load and be able to change the presets kind of defeats the purpose of having a preset, certainly in our environment, where we need these settings to be consistent across all apps, all computers and all users.
    Please put this feature back or at least honour the central location that used to be used.

    Hi,
    As per the description, I understand that your Office 2013 cannot open files through a network share directly.
    I would like to know that how many clients/users are affected by this in your environment. It could be some specific user account settings, that the Office applications are being affected by.
    I'd first suggest you try with a new Windows user profile, then verify result.

    Need information on how to install adobe pdf as a printer in my device-printer file in windows 7. I currently have adobe 8 pro & acrobat distiller on my pc.

    Acrobat appears to be running just fine- I am running windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I don't know why it just didn't automatically install- I just replaced an older HD that was going bad. Copied my entire system using windows mirrow image. Adobe pdf converter was in my device and printer file before and now its's not. I did have to reinstall several programs, such as Adobe Acrobat, etc.

  • Reflow in Adobe Reader for Android does not work

    The reflow option in my Adobe reader for Android does not work. The PDF book I am trying to read is too wide to be legible when I fit it into the screen (even in landscape), but the reflow button doesn't change that. When I click it, nothing happens. The only thing I know to do is to uninstall and re-install, but that did not work. Any other tips or ideas?

    Mehwish,
    Thank you so much for responding, and so quickly. I appreciate it.
    It does not appear as though the PDF I am trying to read would have an element in it that would block it from reflow, but that is always possible. It’s a textbook, and I understand that toward the end of the book there are some charts and diagrams, but I haven’t gotten to those chapters yet. So far, I’ve just been trying to use the Adobe Reader to read the introduction and first chapter and nothing I have done has made it reflow.
    I’m enclosing a copy of the entire book. Perhaps you can uncover something in it that I didn’t see.
    Thanks again for you help.

  • How do you add "Adobe PDF" as a "printer" in Office 2010/Windows 7

    Although with most of the programs you can just save documents and spread sheets as PDFs, in Power Point, it does not allow you the option to save a slide as a PDF with the notes displayed in the PDF, only the slide is transformed to PDF, the notes do not show on them.
    Goal: To have notes and slide saved as a PDF
    Challenge: Just saving the slide as a PDF does not display notes
    Solution in past: Print to Adobe PDF using the Print function and "print" using the notes or outline options in the print window
    Problem: ADOBE PDF is not an option in my printer section anymore.
    Question: How do I make PDF a "Printer" in with Office 2010 or in general using Windows 7

    You make not mention of Acrobat and what version you might have. For Office 2010 to do as you want, you need PDF Maker and will have to have AA X for Office 2010. To get the Adobe PDF printer you could install either AA9 or AAX in Win7. Some folks have been successful with AA8 in Win 7. If you don't have Acrobat, then it is time to order it.

    Adobe Creative Cloud (Desktop) does not work properly. The application is blocked : it could not be launch neither stopped. I'm on MAC Yosemite OS, does anyone know how to remove it properly or to force its stop. It does not appear in the launched applications.

    I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
    I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
    I tried to uninstall the application  but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
    Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.
    Thanks for your help.
