Adobe PDF not showing in PPD

Hi,
Does anyone know why "Adobe PDF" is no showing in the PPD section when defining a new Print Preset? At the moment i'm manually draging the PDF through Distiller, generally i can do this auatomatically through indesign, but it's all different on my new Mac.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated
Cheers

The Article is great thanks! Explains allot, and i know now that it's a widespread issue. it doesn't quite resolve my problem (although it gets the PDF PPD showing up in inDesign which is great). InDesign still won't export to distiller and produce the PDF though.
No that's cool, We have to run all Ads and documents through Distiller for the Press, export doesn't cut it it's not a huge problem as it can be done manually, but it saves so much time when it's done via InDesign.

  • CS4 "Save as Adobe PDF" not working in Mountain Lion

    CS4 Save as Adobe PDF not working in Mountain Lion
    Just bought a new Mac with mountain lion, installed CS4 design premium twice trying to fix this. When you go to "print" then "Save as Adobe PDF" the process fails with a pop-up saying "An error occurred while saving the PDF file". I can still do the standard "Save as PDF" - but that usually results in a file size 10x larger than Save as Adobe PDF so it won't work for me; I need the small file sizes of Save as Adobe PDF.
    When I go to Help > Repair Acrobat Installation it seems to be recognizing a repair needed with Adobe PDF Printer (see screenshot below); but when I go through the repair nothing changes it still won't work.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    "Save As Adobe PDF" works fine in Snow Leopard.
    Thanks for the link, but this is no help - I already have "Save As Adobe PDF" on the menu - the problem is when I click that it errors out...
    I just think its sad that Adobe charges people $2000 and provides zero support for future updates; when I buy an iMac for half that amount of money or an iPhone I get operating system support and bug fix downloads to deal with the latest internet advances for years to come - but Adobe apparently takes your money and says sayonara! Is it really that hard to provide updates on $2000 worth of software for say 24 months??

  • Adobe PDF not working in N95

    in my nokia N95 i m not able to open pdf files last 20 days i think adobe PDF not working properly i want to repair it but how i donn know? can anybody help me to get rid of this prob

    I do not think that PDF Maker has been updated for IE9 yet. IE9 is a recent release and Adobe does not generally work on the final software until the release. They also have to be sure it still works with other products. In the meantime, try just printing to the Adobe PDF printer or opening the URL in Acrobat directly.

  • Printer does not show a PPD

    When I select a printer in Illustrator CS6, the PPD doesn't not populate.  I am running on Windows 7 64-bit.  I have tried several different printers and none of them will show the PPD.   I've downloaded the latest drivers for this operating system.  I don't have a problem printing from Word or Adobe Reader.  Illustrator is the only program that doesn't seem to recognize any of the printer drivers.
    Any ideas on what I can do to get Illustrator to see the drivers?

    Buenas Tardes Rose,
    Printers can be a problem sometimes.
    Try this...
    Switch off and disconnect the printer. Use the disk that came with the printer to uninstall the software. Do not reinstall it. Restart your Mac. (Probably not necessary but I'm a great believer of: If in doubt turn it off then on again!) Plug in the USB cable and switch on your printer. Open Printer Setup Utility and see if:
    a) the printer shows
    b) it finds a driver.
    c) it asks you to install a driver
    d) If c) put your disk in.
    ¡Buena suerte!

  • Have Adobe Reader not show bleed

    hello. For proof reading, I'm exporting my InDesign CS3 file (that uses 3mm of bleed on all sides) to a pdf legible for the customer. Would there be a way to have Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (on Mac OS X 10.5.2) actually not show the bleed area (instead of just showing the bleed box which is achieved by checking 'show art, trim & bleed boxes' in the preferences)?
    thanks a lot

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • The web site of Adobe does not show correctly in FireFox

    I have a bizarre problem.  The site of Adobe (including where I can download the flash player) does not show correctly in FireFox and I only see it as a text HTML page, but without most images (typically, for instance, I do not see the image "Download now" but see a text line "Dowload now", and so on...
    This seems to specifically affect the Adobe web site as I have no problme for other web sites (so far).
    It is something specific to FireFox as  I do have the problem with Internet Explorer.
    The problem persis even if I restart FireFox without any add-on (safe mode).
    Any suggestion ?

    Does this only happen in Firefox?  What do you see with Internet Explorer or Chrome?  If it is only Firefox, I'd try these steps in this order:
    1. Clear your cookies and cache
    2. Reset your Firefox settings
    3. Make a new profile

  • PDF not showing bleed

    Trying to make a pdf with bleeds but my bleeds are not showing up, only crop marks. I'm using distiller for a postscript file to press quality pdf

    Has nothing to do with printing.
    Please post screenshots of the marks and bleeds pane of the PDF Export as well as your document set up making sure that the more info (bleed and slug) are shown.
    Note that you must post them using the web interface, you can’t attach them to emails.

  • How to get Adobe PDF to show in Printer dialog

    Hi,
    I just installed CS2 on my new Dell Inspiron laptop with Windows 7.
    I can't get Adobe PDF as an option in the print dialog box. The Acrobat help files have help on how to configure it once it is in there but no guidance on how to get it installed. If I remember correctly it installed as part of Acrobat Professional on my previous Dell Laptop running Windows XP.
    Thanks,

    Acrobat 7 Professional.
    I guess that explains it then.
    Does this mean I will not be able to use any of the functions of Acrobat in Windows 7 of just some?
    Can you recommend a site that might provide more info?
    Thanks

  • Adobe PDF not printing yosemite

    Just added new Officejet 5740 to home network, everything works except won't print Adobe PDF documents. Ok with Preview, .docx etc.  Running 10.10.1 on iMac.  Prints blank pages.  I have run into this in the past with my office HP Laser printer, but was able to fix.  Any general fix for the current problem would be appreciated.  Note that we did a clean install from the disc and had been running 10.10.1 for a week or so.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    May you see any difference by opening the PDF with Apple's Preview and printing it or do you get the same results?
    From Adobe Reader also try clicking the Advanced button within the print dialog and check the Print as Image option, then check for ny difference.
    Additionally, have you tried any other PDF file to check if the same happens or not?
    Please let me know the results,

  • Adobe PDF converter shows as permanently offline

    I have Adobe Acrobat X installed as part of the CS5.5 Design Premium Suite.
    Last month, I began having difficulty in printing to the Adobe PDF converter - this had always worked fine before. PDFs stopped appearing and are queued up in the print queue - the printer dialogue is heade "Adobe PDF Converter - Use Printer Offline" and I can see my documents stacked up there. Looking at the dilaogue box I see that "Use Printer offline" is ticked in the "Printer" drop down menu - I have tried un-ticking this but it has no effect- the tick remains resolutely there. I have tried pausing & restarting docs, to no effect.
    I can work round this in Word and Excel by using the "Create PDF" tab. But Firefox disabled the Adobe PDF plug in with its latest upgrade (thank you, Mozilla!) and Chrome just produces a print preview, from which I select Adobe PDF converter as my printer. And Visio tells me the PDF printer is not on my system!
    Problem is I do all my banking online and used happily to save records of payments & receipts as PDFs, but now I can't.
    This is really frustrating and I hope somebody has an answer! (hopefully without losing the queued documents, but I guess that's unlikley)
    System spec
    I am running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit on a Core2 Quad Q6600 2.40Ghz plus 4GB RAM. I use Office Professional 2010 (although I do ask myself a lot these days why I upgraded)

    Try deleting the adobe printer PDF instance, then go to Acrobat and try to fix the installation.
