Adobe PDF Does Not Appear In printer List

My computer runs Windows XP. Acrobat Standard 6 is installed. "Adobe pdf" does not show in the list of printers. I have installed all available updates, but it still does not show in printer list. I have done a google search on this and have come up with nothing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Try to re-install it, after deleting all folders from previous instalation. If still not works, lets see, are you the adm of your network? If not, may this is a network permission while trying to install a new printer. It can be different versions of acrobats installed at same computer too.

Print to Adobe pdf does not give option for .pdf file

I recently installed Acrobat X Pro. I have a 10-page pdf document open in Acrobat. I want to eliminate the first page and save the other 9 in another file. In previous versions, I would select Print and then select the printer "Adobe PDF". When I do this now, the Save As File Type gives me only one choice - All Files *.* - which is useless. If I am in any other application the Save As File Type comes up .pdf. I don't think it is the installation, because I installed this on my desktop and laptop and it is doing the same thing in both of them. The operating system for both computers is Windows 7 64-bit. What can I do to fix this? Is it just a matter of changing a setting that I am not aware of? Thank you in advance to anyone who will help.

For Acrobat X I went to Tools - Pages - and the delete choice was grayed out. I thought I could get the same result by using the Print to Adobe PDF command. From any other application I can print to Adobe PDF, just not in Acrobat. Does Acrobat X not let you do this, or is it just on mine? And if it is only on mine, what do I do to fix it? By the way, I am able to delete pages from other documents, just not the particular document I am currently working with.
Any other suggestions anyone?

My Adobe Acrobat does not always print from Illustrator. This is very time-consuming to have continuous problems that are obviously software based. I have no issues with Illustrator, but we communicate on this campus via low res PDF files as proofs for approval. Acrobat gives me no reasons why it does not want to print, it just says it can not print the file. Fonts are NOT and issue here. It will created a high res Illustrator PDF file but I can not print a low res PDF file.

This usually happens when you introduce a specific dependency like trying to resample certain placed image types and things like color profile conversions fail. Also stripping native AI data to reduce file size may cause this. Generally it is not recommended to print to PDF from apps that have native PDF saving functionality, anyway. You can just as well get the same result using AI's Save As feature.

adobe pdf can not be completedly displaced by Adobe reader XI while it is inserted into a Excel2013(office 365) file

Sorry
should be “displaying”
Like when open a drawing pdf which is inserted into Excel(office 365) as an object, some lines, dimensions with remark can not be displayed and only few graph can be displayed.
But if the drawing is a separate PDF file, not inserted into Excel(office 365)as an object, the Adobe XI reader can always open it with all graphs, figures, texts, lines etc. smoothly.

Adobe Reader if always free. Acrobat requires a purchase.
Also Acrobat X has different UI, there is usually a floating toolbar that can be used to open the full toolbar.

Missing Adobe PDF option in the Printer Icon

I have just upgraded to Mac's LION 10.7.2 and I have LOST the Adobe PDF option in my 'print menu'
How do I get it back into the Printer llist ?
If it matters, my version of Adobe Reeader is 10.1.1
Thanks
Shelgor

Phillip,
Thanks for getting back to me, but I am a novice ( softer word the 'dummy') and I cannot follow your directions; I don't "SEE' the items you mention so let me try to paint a clearer picture
When I have a document that I want t print.....I go to the file menu and select "PRINT' from the drop down menu, That opens window that has an oval window that allow me to drop down to see what printers are available....I have TWO......a Brothers MFC-5490cn and a Lexmark
NOW..tose ar my only two options......prior to up grading )from Snow Leopard) to Lion.....there was a third option....which 'Adobe PDF Printer', and THAT is the one I've lost.
My goal is to get it back into the Printer Window as a third option.
Thanks

Windows 8 - Adobe PDF Viewer Not Available

I have two new Dell touchscreen laptops with Windows 8 (not 8.1).
I am unable to get the tile/app integrated browser to open PDF files. Upon downloading a PDF it reports "Adobe PDF Viewer Not Available".
I've gone to the app store from Microsoft, and downloaded the tile/app reader, and it reports being installed....but no joy. I've gone to the Adobe site, and looked for and installed any/all Windows 8 viewers I can find, but it still doesn't work.
I CAN view PDF files by clicking on the Windows key, clicking on the desktop, opening IE, then using the Adobe Reader 11 that was installed. This seems so pointless, because the only way to view a PDF is to take about 4 extra clicks than I do in Ubuntu, Windows 7, or a Mac.
What's up with this?

Internet Explorer has two versions on Windows 8/RT.
(a) The desktop version of IE supports plugins and accelerators. This is the version that you launch from the Windows 8/RT desktop.
(b) The Windows Store app version (with "Modern" or "Metro" UI) of IE is touch-optimized, full screen, and plugin free. This is the version that you launch by tapping/clicking the tile in the Start screen.
See the Microsoft documentation titled Get ready for plug-in free browsing.
"Starting with Windows 8, IE is one web platform that provides two browsing experiences: the new IE in the new Windows UI optimized for touch devices, and the traditional browsing experience of Internet Explorer for the desktop. As a Windows app, Internet Explorer runs without plug-ins so that you have a clean, fast, and secure web browsing experience, while also providing a native Adobe Flash player. "
Similarly, Adobe Reader also has two versions on Windows 8/RT.
(a) The desktop version is called Adobe Reader XI. It is a mature product that has been available in the market for the past 20 years and offers a rich set of features. It supports in-browser viewing of PDFs by installing the browser plugin to the desktop version of IE. However, the downsides of the desktop version are the incompatibility with the Windows RT operating system and security vulnerabilities. In general, the desktop version is less secure than the Windows Store app version.
(b) The Windows Store app version is called Adobe Reader Touch. It is a relatively new product that was introduced a year ago. It does not support in-browser viewing of PDFs because of the security restrictions that are imposed on all Windows Store apps. It is compatible with both Windows 8 and RT operating systems.
Because the Windows Store app version of IE is designed to be plugin-free, no other desktop/Windows Store apps (hence, not even Adobe Reader XI) can install additional plugins (other than the Flash support that is built-in by default).
If you want the in-browser PDF viewing support, you need to use the desktop version of IE and the desktop version of a PDF viewer like Adobe Reader XI.
This is the application architecture decision that Microsoft has made deliberately. It's not a bug or oversight.
Microsoft has the Windows Store app version of PDF viewer called "Reader". It may be possible for Microsoft to add the in-browser PDF viewing support using Reader (just like Google Chrome does) in a future release of the Windows Store app version of IE. But it did not happen in the newer version of the operating systems: Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1.
If you have any feature requests/suggestions/questions regarding the Windows Store app version of IE, please visit the Microsoft forum instead.

Recently bought new printer. All works fine with one OSX user. However, cannot print anything on other OSX user, including cannot print Adobe PDFs or to new printer. Puzzling!

computer = Mac PowerPC G5
OS = 10.4.11
Adobe Acrobat 7
HP laserjet M1212nf
I recently bought a new HP printer. I was on an admin user when I installed it. All works fine with this admin account/user. I can print to the HP, print to Adobe PDFs.
However, when I then go over to another user account, I cannot print *anything*. I cannot print to Adobe PDF, cannot print to the new HP. If I try to print an excel file, it says "cannot communicate with the printer" along with some useless suggestions. If I try to print a page on FireFox, nothing happens. That is, sure I get the usual dialog box, click the appropriate choice of printer, click the number of copies, then click the OK button ... and nothing happens. No pdf process is started. Nothing is sent to the HP printer.
The fact that both printer options are not working suggests it is some kind of OS problem, not specific to either printer "device".
Any assistance is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi BDAqua,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm a bit leery of trying that. I would think that if the driver was not installed, then none of my users could use the printer. However, both admin users can use the new printer. The list of available printers is:
Adobe PDF 7.0
New HP Printer
I also used to have Old HP Printer, which I removed. Before, Users A, B and C could use both the Adobe PDF and the Old HP printers. Then, after I added the New HP Printer, it showed up in the list of printers for all three users. However, after I added the new printer, only the two admin accounts, users A and C, can actually print anything. Both users A and C can use the Adobe PDF printer AND the New HP Printer. But I get error messages with user B, for both the Adobe PDF printer and the New HP Printer.

New printer shows up as "Adobe PDF 8.0" in Print Utility. Why?

I already posted this info, but I'm hoping the new title will get other responses. I hooked up a Samsung CLP-300 to my Mac, installed the drivers, Went to Print Utility and selected "Add". The only thing in the list is "Adobe PDF 8.0". I tried selecting just for grins, but when I try to print to it nothing happens.
Note: I tried adding the printer before installing the drivers and it showed up as "Adobe PDF 8.0", but I was told I needed to install the drivers, but after doing so it still shows up as "Adobe PDF 8.0". Could it be that it is remembering that? I removed the printer but it keeps coming back as that name.
Thanks

Hmmm, At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac.
Then click on More Info>Hardware>USB, does it showup there?
More Info>Hardware>Printers, does it show up there, if so click on it & see if it has something similar to this...

Word 2007 "Save as Adobe PDF" - Pictures not showing up in PDF

Good Afternoon,
I have run into this error recently when using the "Save as Adobe PDF" to publish Word 2007 report.
Each report has an table - pasted from Excel 2007 "as a picture - when printed". The reports have a ton of other jpg pictures.
After creation, when I open the PDF, some of the tables appear to have become transparent. Where the picture used to be is a selection box, as if there were a picture there, but it's merely blank. All of the photos, frames, and Word-based tables show up. Some of the pasted-from-Excel tables also show up, not these ones.
Is there a reason for this discrepency? Is there a way to resolve the issue? I used the search bar and found nothing that matched my issue. All of my software is up to date.
Thank you for whatever help you can provide.
J

did you ever solve this issue? I have the same problem and "view large images" is the only answer I can find and it DOES NOT WORK.
I posted the question elsewhere, but nobody has replied. here's my situation:
When creating PDF documents from any software (Illustrator, Corel, InDesign, etc), color objects over 50% of the page size have white fill. If object has an outline, the outline will appear normally, but the fill will be white. I've searched forums everywhere and have found no answer. Most forum topics on this are issue focus on settings in the program that exported the PDF. I am 100% sure this is not an export problem, but is something in Acrobat itself (a missed setting? Corrupt program file?)
To provide the best information, I've done a little scientific research. Here is what I know:
Currently running Acrobat Pro 9.5.5
This is only happening on ONE install of Acrobat 9. Documents display correctly in Reader X and in Acrobat 9 on other machines.
Started happening a few weeks ago, I have no idea what changed.
"Show Large Images" in preferences dialog is checked. Unchecking it and rechecking it does nothing.
Have installed all available updates to the software
I experimented with different object sizes. At 50% of page size, objects appeared normal, at 51% filled object disappears.
Does not affect photos, only affects vector objects.
running this on Windows Vista 64 Bit

"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!

Acrobat adobe pdf does not show up canon scanner using

Hi-I have just installed adobe acrobat pro 6-the problem is i want to scan in some documents and turn them into PDF's but my adobe acrobat does not realise or show that i have a scanner (canon 5000F).I have contacted canon-and they suggested i downloaded some new software for the scanner but when i try and install the new softawre it will not install and just starts up the printer utility thing at the top.They also suggested i try to uninstall the drivers for the scanner first but again when i download the uninstall utility and try to run it it does not run/set up but just starts the printer utility thing again.How can i make adobe acrobat pro 6 realise i have a scanner so as i can scan in documents to turn them into PDF's ? Any suggestions plaese
thanks
rick

Concentrate on getting the scanner working without any Adobe software. Once you can scan to a file, any OSX program (except Adobe) that can read the file can generate PDF files via the Print command.
