Adobe PDF missing from printer list in all cs4

Hi there
I have cs4 and have noticed in illustrator and photoshop that adobe PDF has suddenly disappeared from my drop down list when I go to print.
Any help much appreciated!

I used to lose the printer in my vista regularly, but it always came back with a restart. The repair does help. I have not had the problem in quite a while. Glad the repair worked for you.

Documents\*.pdf port missing from printer list

Hello All,
I have Acrobat X installed on my work computer which is Dell running Windows 7. I downloaded the free trial of Acrobat XI to check it out. Don't think I need to shell out the money but it was nice. Anyway, when I uninstalled Acrobat XI I lost the ability to print to pdf which is a feature I use very often.
So I googled the problem and found this helpful forum: Re: Manually installing PDF Printer
Unfortunately, in step 4 it asks me to select Documents\*.pdf as the port and it's not listed in the dropdown menu. This computer was given to me with Acrobat X on it and I don't have any of the original licensing info so I'm afraid to simply uninstall-reinstall that since I might not restore it properly.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
-Dan

use belarc advisor to recover your acrobat x serial number, Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…
once you have that safely saved, reinstall acrobat x over your current installation. you probably won't need that serial number, but it would be nice to have.
or you can also use a free pdf printer like doPDF which i've used for years, Free PDF Converter - Print to PDF with doPDF

I loaded a lot of music from my CDs on to my iMac at home. All my music is stored on the cloud. So why is the music on my MacBook Pro different. The CDs are missing from this list.

I loaded a lot of music from my CDs on to my iMac at home. All my music is stored on the cloud. So why is the music on my MacBook Pro different. The CDs are missing from this list. The iTunes account details I use on both computers is the same.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply.
I think you ave sorted my problem with your question. I thought that as my iTunes account was on their server (Cloud) and I had previously added CDs which showed up, that all my music was "on the cloud". I used to use Match but when I turned it off lost all my music that I had previously loaded onto my computer.
So I guess I have to use the cloud again to access my songs. This is frustrating as I fly a lot and can not use the music (Cloud based) when the phone is in flight mode as there is no internet.
So how then do I retrieve all my music to my iMac and have my laptop synced so they are the same?
I am totally confused now.

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!!! 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 now I opened it up and compared it to a version that was working... >** Excerpt from not working version ** ><dict> <key>com.adobe.print.AdobePDF.PrintSettings.PDFJobOptionsPath</key> <string>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/Test(1).joboptions</string> >** Excerpt from working version ** ><dict> <key>com.adobe.print.AdobePDF.PrintSettings.PDFJobOptionsPath</key> <string>default</string> 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. 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!

Is there a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying?

Does anybody know a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying? All this within the OS possibilities? Is there a way?
know one can buy expensive programmes like from Adobe, but I use it so little that I would like a cheaper solution. Freeware would be great, shareware also.
Any suggestion grateful received.

No way to do that using the OS (although the entire pdf can be encrypted, once the password is applied the document is open for copying/printing).
However, the freeware PDFLab does allow password protection, the 'owner' pw allows full access, the 'user' pw can be restricted for printing, copying, etc:

This can also be done with Adobe's Create PDF Online, but the above is free, and works well.
Hope this helps...

Tap the cloud symbol with the down arrow next to the songs you want to download. You can also download an entire playlist by opening it, scrolling to the bottom and tapping Download All. You can download an entire album by tapping the album, then tapping the download symbol at the top of the song list. You can download an entire artist by doing the same thing after tapping the artist name.
To save on your data plan, do this while your connected to wifi (and your charger to save battery).

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.

Adobe PDF as a print option

What do I need to do so that Adobe PDF is a print option?
In other words, when I go to print something, instead of selecting a printer, I can select 'Print to Adobe PDF' and save the item on my hard drive as a pdf

Yes, but.... as I've seen over in the Dreamweaver forums, software changes (functionality) are arbitrary, and subject to no logic at all. Things that are in CS6 aren't in CC, and even some things thatwere in CC at first are now gone, with no warning and no good reason.
Audition CC has all sorts of export problems, and people have had files permanently damaged using Photoshop CC.
If I screw up something on my own system, I own that mistake. I don't want to have to attribute it to something that's still in a "beta" stage as far as reliability goes. Especially at $240 to $480 a year.

How do I install the Adobe PDF Pack Desktop Printer

How do I install the Adobe PDF Pack desktop printer?

If you’re running the standalone version of FM, then the “headless” Acrobat comes with it; reinstall FM to repair that part. However, if you already had a full version of Acrobat installed, the FM installer may have screwed it up – you’ll have to uninstall all Acrobat(s) and reinstall.

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:
Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit 6.1.7601, Service Pack 1
18 Gig RAM
Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @2.67 GHz
VMWare Workstation 9.0.2 build-1031769
(but problem existed on older version of VMWare Workstation 7.x as well)

Adobe PDF errors when printing

Good Morning, wondering if I can get some help identifying the root cause of an issue we came across.
To inform you on the issue, we have a drawing tool that does not export files to PDF format. We use third party tools to do this, either Adobe PDF available from an installed version of Adobe Acrobat, or another utility called dopdfv7. Once these drawing tool files are converted to PDF files, there are a select few PDF files that Adobe reader cannot print, and the errors shown below are given.
There were several version of Adobe Reader that presented these errors, adobe reader 10 version (unknown, version she had installed and had been using for some time now), adobe reader xi 11.0.10 and adobe reader xi 11.0.20 both presented the errors below. I was and am able to print the same PDF files that are giving these errors, with adobe reader xi 11.0.00.
What is the difference in the versions of adobe reader that would allow adobe reader xi 11.0.00 to print these PDF files when the other mentioned adobe reader versions are getting the errors below when trying to print them?

The Operating System is Windows 7 Enterprise 32bit.
Sorry about that, it may have been reader version 11.0.02 instead. We tried 3 or 4 before getting the 11.0.00 reader version that worked.

Having synced my ipod, there are certain artists missing from the list on the ipod, but the tracks are there under the songs list. Any reason why and how do i correct this. Thanks.

Having synced my ipod, there are certain artists missing from the list on the ipod, but the tracks are there under the songs list. Any reason why and how do i correct this. Thanks.

We'll assume for now, that all the songs and albums in your iTunes Library are correctly labelled (dangerous assumption, by the way!), and that a Compilation album is one with songs by different artists. Unfortunately, the music industry (bless their little cotton socks!) often mark an album by one artist, that has a collection of their songs from old albums, as a compilation! iTunes doesn't think it is!
The missing artists will be those who only appear on Compilation albums. For example, if you have one song by Fleetwood Mac in your Library, and it's on a multi-artist Compilation album, then Fleetwood Mac will not be listed in the Artists menu. But, if you then import a Fleetwood Mac album (or even a Fleetwood Mac single) into your Library, then not only will Fleetwood Mac appear under Artists, but the song by them in the Compilation album will also be listed.
One way to sort this out is to remove the Compilations option from the Main Menu and the Music Menu on your iPod. To do this, go to Settings/Main Menu/Compilations and press the Select (centre) button to turn off the tick. Then repeat this in the Settings/Music Menu/Compilations.
You should now find the missing artists listed in the Artists menu.
By the way, I now routinely check all albums I import from CD into my iTunes Library. Before I start the import procedure, I make sure that Compilation CD is turned on (highlight the album in the import window and right-click/Compilation CD) if it really is a multi-artist CD - and off if it's a single artist CD. Once imported, I manually change the album info to; (highlight album and select ) File/Get Info/Info/Album Artist has "Various Artists" in the box. Make sure it's the Album Artist box, not the Artist box.

No option to save files, content/file type missing from Applications list

I want to be able to click a link to a file and have the option to Open the file with a specified application.
When clicking on the file I want to Open with a specified application, I only get a Save or Cancel option.
When I look in Preferences > Applications, the file type is missing from the list.
This was working. It is not working anymore. It is not a problem with the website. I need to know where in the FF settings I can change this.
FF 30.0
Kubuntu 13.10
Thanks

OP, did you ever get a solution to this problem? It's driving me nuts having to specify a download destination then go into a program to open the file I just downloaded!! Have tried deleting file types .rdf and no success either!

I'm not sure of the solution on Windows. But this worked for me on Linux.
I needed to edit mimeTypes.rdf
See the links below for details. The first one was someone having a problem with Transmission. I was having a problem with ktorrent, so I just adapted that. If you're having a problem with a different file type, then you'll need to adapt it differently. But the general idea is the same.

Also, I suspect that FlashGot or some similar download manger plugin was responsible for screwing this up. I haven't confirmed it yet, but I've seen some things that make me suspect it.
