ADOBE PDF - print driver problem converting Publisher 2007 to PDF

I cannot find an answer to my problem anywhere online. Our company does not have InDesign yet, so I have to use Publisher 2007 (Vista operating system) to create ads. The problem is that when I go to print and choose ADOBE PDF to convert the Publisher document, the PDF output is 1/4-1/2" smaller all the way around. It is perfectly sized in Publisher, but the PDF output keeps reducing. Is there a fix for this? Thank you.

I suspect it is a shrinking issue in Publisher (check the print properties). A lot of packages reduce the margin so it will print all of the information on printers, many printers add margin space. At least worth a check.

  • Problem converting Publisher 2007 files with PDFMaker

    Hi all
    I hope someone can help me.
    I am a technician at a large company and we recently upgraded a users PC to Vista Business (32 bit) from XP Pro.
    Since this was done, the user has a problem with Publisher files on Office 2007.
    When trying to convert the files using Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 with the PDFMaker plug-in on Publisher, it spools the file to the AdobePDF printer and the job then disappears from the printer but the converting bit just hangs at 60% and Publisher 2007 freezes up and Acrobat is not launched showing the converted publisher file.
    This is only happening when converting Publisher files. Word Excel etc are working fine.
    When logged in as administrator, it works perfectly. The converted publisher file spools to the AdobePDF printer, disappears from the queue and Acrobat Standard 9 is launched showing the publisher document as a PDF file. Giving the user administrator rights is not an option. This apparently worked perfectly for the user when his machine OS was XP Pro using Office 2007 and Acrobat Standard 9.
    I have tried a repair of Office, a repair and then a complete uninstall and reinstall of Abobe Standard 9. Also given the user full control of the Adobe folders but the same thing happens with the Publisher conversions.
    Any ideas?

    Hi all
    This problem is now resolved. I got it to work but the frustrating thing was I dont know how I did it! Messed with some settings in Acrobat 9 and the AdobePDF printer and retried it and it worked
    Thanks anyway

  • Print with Adobe PDF printer driver from Word: Stripes in images

    Hello,
    I use Acrobat 8 Professional (Version 8.1.3) on Windows XP SP3 (german version). I'd like to create a PDF out of a Word document by printing with the "Adobe PDF" printer driver. I have a problem with an image containing large unicolored areas: In the PDF there are recognizeable stripes in the colors of the image. This is when viewing the PDF with Acrobat 8 Professiona, when importing a page containung such an image into Photoshop, and when printing such an image.
    The image is an RGB TIF, but I tried it with a CMYK TIF as well as with an RGB BMP. The reault - when printed out of Word - is the same. If I print the same image to a PDF from InDesign, then everything is fine, no stripes.
    Does anybody know how to optimize this?
    Best regards,
    Christian

    Sorry, I should have mentioned this, of course. Well the document is a DOC (because it was prepared by co-workers with Word 2003). I use Word 2007, when I opened the DOC Word switched to "compatability mode" (not sure about the exact English term, I work with German versions). But even when saving the document under a new name, I kept it as a DOC, so my co-workers would be able to open it again at their computers with Word 2003.
    My Acrobat is already version 8.1.6 and because I always install Windows Updates that the automatic update service offers, I guess my Word 2007 is also up to date.
    But sure, if I can be of any other help, let me know...
    Best regards,
    Christian

  • Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9

    Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9
    I have a Word 2007 DOC (not docx) file with pictures and text which converted perfectly with Distiller 8. I installed CS4 Distiller 9, and now the same DOC file flows over onto several extra pages. I am using the default settings. Any idea what has changed. Thanks in advance.

    First, select the Adobe PDF printer in WORD. Then go through the document to check for the flow of the document. It should print the same as you see in the document after the printer has been selected.

  • How do I deal with "Acces Denied" error when trying to print to Adobe PDF printer driver

    Windows 7 64 bit OS (updated)
    Adobe Acrobat XI (11.0.06.70)
    I am unable to create a PDF file from within the Windows 7 print dialog.  Each time, I receive a terse "Access Denied" error followed by the display below (the progress bar never advances).  I thought upgrading to Adobe Acrobat XI might fix this but no such luck.  It seems that others have experienced similar issues.  I noticed in the display below that Adobe is trying to create the file in a folder which does not exist (at least I can't see it even after setting my preferences to display hidden files).  I have the hope that, if the folder were present and accessible, Adobe would create the file without trouble.  Is there a way to instruct Adobe Acrobat XI to create this temporary file in a different location?  One of my frustrations is that I used to be able to print Adobe Acrobat files without trouble on the same computer.  I wonder whether the use of a registry cleaner may have contributed to my problem.
    What are the best practices for addressing the Access Denied and inability to print problems I've encountered?
    Thanks for any help you can provide in sorting out this problem. 
    Best,
    Matt

    I have been having the exact same problem with Adobe Acrobat X.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times and applied all the latest updates.  Every time I try to print ANTHING to the Adobe PDF print driver, the software hangs (MS Office, webpage, or other programs).  When I finally kill the process using Task Manager, I find the little "Access Denied" box.  This has been happening for nearly one year.  I have limped along since I have other computers to use.   I have attempted to find answers on this forum in the past, and no one seems to have a clear answer to the problem.
    I, too, was tempted to upgrade to XI, but Matt's post settled the matter, since it did not help him.
    I am using Win 7 Home (64 bit) and until this issue started, I have had no problem with AA X.
    Where are the Adobe experts when you need them?  Please help us. 

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro won't convert Publisher docs to PDF

  • What is the Acrobat 7 Adobe PDF printer driver name?

    I can no longer print to my "Adobe PDF" printer.
    I have Acrobat 7.1.0 (as part of Creative Suite 2) on my small travel laptop system running Windows XP Professional, SP3. 
    Recently, if I try to print to a PDF file from Firefox, I get:
          "an unexpected error has occurred" or "an unknown error has occurred while printing".
    I went to the Adobe PDF printer itself and if I try to choose the properties, I get "The Adobe PDF Converter' is not installed on this computer. Then it asks me if I want to install the driver now.  If I say yes, it wants the driver name, which I don't know and don't see obvious candidates.   If I say no, and I see the properties for the PDF printer, it says the driver is "Adobe PDF Converter", but I guess the underlying driver file is missing.
    I found a posting for how to manually reinstall the printer on Acrobat 10, but my directory structure is different and I don't have a file called pdf.inf, so I suspect the driver name is different in Acrobat 7. 
    I can still launch Acrobat 7 just fine, and have tried doing the repair from the help menu twice, and rebooted afterward.  No luck.
    I didn't delete the Adobe PDF printer before the repair.  I was afraid to.
    I could go back to the original CS2 disks, but then I'll lose all the updates I've downloaded and installed over the years.  I don't know if Adobe even has the updates for CS2 online anymore.
    I suspect if I knew the name of the PDF printer driver in Acrobat 7, I may be able to fix it. Even if the file got deleted, I likely have it on an old backup.
    Does anyone know the name of the ".inf" driver file for the Adobe PDF printer in Acrobat7 (CS2)?
    If not, is there something else I can run from the setup files that will reinstall the PDF converter?
    Thanks.
    Cindy

    I cannot confirm, but feel confident that Adobe has the updates available for CS2.
    Reinstall from the disks.
    I just looked through my XP system running CS2; I cannot see an easy way to reinstall the Adobe PDF Printer, but it is already installed there.

  • When I installed Acrobat 9, the Adobe pdf print driver did not install

    Might depend on the OS that you did not mention. Try doing the updates and see if that solves the problem. Otherwise, tell us more about your OS.

  • Automated printing to Adobe PDF printer driver

    Hi,
    my application is hosting a 3rd party control that also offers some printing functionality to the default printer driver. However, it does not support PDF export yet. Thus, I would like to implement PDF export using the Adobe PDF printer driver. This export should happen silently and should not force the user to interact with the pdf printer driver. The PDF needs to be stored on a predefined folder using a predefined file name.
    My question is: How can I use the Adobe PDF printer driver from my own application as a custom printer driver?
    I would like to have a workflow like the following:
    1. User presses "export PDF".
    2. The application does:
        - store the current default printer
        - set the default printer to the Adobe PDF printer driver
        - trigger the 3rd party control print mehtod (prints to the default printer)
        - wait until the print job has ended
        - collect the printed PDF from the predefined folder / filename for further processing
        - reset the default printer to the previous default
    Ideally I would like to have some progress information during printing.
    Is this possible using the Adobe Acrobat SDK? If yes, how? A first glance at the documentation did not reveal how to steer the Adobe PDF printer driver from an own application (COM?).
    Thank you,
    Max

    Thanks for your hint. I've found the example AdobePDFSilent in the SDK which nearly does what I am intending to do. However, one thing remains open:
    How can I get progress information about the corresponding print job from the destiller. Ideally I'd like to have an event after each page + one event after the file has beens successfully saved.
    Is this information exposed by the destiller API?
    Regards,
    Max

  • Why does my Acrobat Pro 9 PDF print driver either lock up or become confused as to where it should store a file when printing a document from within the Firefox browser?

    I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 for creating .pdf files on a Windows XP SP3 platform. Firefox 6.0.2 is my browser of choice. This question only applies to the .pdf printing process. All other printer drivers work fine with this version of Firefox.
    In attempt to save paper, I choose to print most documents in an electronic .pdf format using the PDF print driver and save them to my USB drive. Before upgrading my Firefox version to 6.0.2 this process seemed to work fine but after upgrading the .pdf print process seems to be experiencing problems. This particular printing process will cause Firefox to lock up when the distiller tries to print the file to what I believe is a temporary folder under the Adobe folder. When it does this I am sometimes able to force it to complete the process but frequently it will only produce a log not a .pdf file. On other occasions the distiller will just lock up mid print without producing any kind of error message. In both cases I will frequently have to use Windows Task Manager to break out of the process which then shuts down the Firefox browser. I don't seem to have any problems when I use Internet Explorer to perform the same function. As far as I am aware I am running the most current drivers as Adobe automatically pushes down updates to me as they become available. Any ideas how I can overcome this issue or is it inherent to the new version of Firefox?

    The PDF file itself does not control the "print as image" preference, which should always be turned OFF unless there's a specific need to rasterize the entire page, and is turned off by default in all Acrobat and Adobe Reader installations.
    What's the filetype for the ultralight font and what export setting* are you using in ID? If you're exporting to earlier than PDF1.7, OpenType fonts will be converted and may experience some small changes in shape if their hint definitions aren't done right.
    *As a side note, bear in mind that InDesign does not use any part of Acrobat when exporting PDFs, so questions specific to that stage in the process should be posted to the InDesign forums.

  • PDF print driver hang when pasting filename from Windows Clipboard

    This is consistently reproduceable on my Win 7 64-bit machine, running Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 (Creative Suite 4) and Firefox 3.6.2. There are no version properties available for the Adobe PDF Converter  print driver, when I inspect it via Control Panel.
    - copy something (i.e., a filename) to the Clipboard
    - in Firefox, choose File > Print > choose the Adobe PDF print driver
    - I am prompted for the Adobe PDF filename
    - when the Save As dialog displays, click in the "Save PDF File As" filename field, and press Ctrl+V.
    Firefox and/or the Acrobat PDF print driver are now hung/crashed; you must kill them via Task Manager.
    If you restart Firefox and repeat the above steps, but typing in the filename instead of pasting it, everything works fine.

    Hi,
    First please make sure your Office is up-to-date.
    I suspect this may be related to some 3rd-party add-ins or the security software, first please run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if 3rd-party add-ins are related:
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If there’s no problem copying and pasting in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
    Please also disable the anti-virus program temporarily to check if this makes a difference.

  • Acrobat 6.0 and Windows 7 - is there a PDF printer driver available?

    Hi,
    I have been using Acrobat 6.0 with Windows XP fine. However, I just got a new computer that has Windows 7.
    I installed Acrobat 6.0 but cannot now convert any documents to PDF on this new computer. I get this error--
    "The PDF maker cannot find the Adobe PDF printer driver and to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 6.0"
    However, reinstalling Acrobat 6.0 does not help, nor does the repair feature.
    Is There a patch for this product? Can I download a driver for the PDF printer so that it is compatible with Windows 7?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I have Acrobat 6 as well and just upgraded to windows 7. Can't afford Acrobat Version 9 either. From what I understand, only Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL, ULTIMATE or ENTERPRISE editions can you run most Windows XP productivity programs in Windows XP Mode(separate download). At least that's what I read here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-modeI wonder if that will help you. I unfortunately only have STARTER edition.
    *The following text is copied and pasted from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-mode
    Windows 7 Feature has a Windows XP Mode
    It's the best of both worlds: The new Windows XP Mode lets you run older Windows XP business software right on your Windows 7 desktop.
    Designed primarily with small- and medium-sized businesses in mind, Windows XP Mode comes as a separate download and works only with Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise. Windows XPMode also requires virtualization software such as WindowsVirtual PC. Both are available free on the Microsoft website.
    To download Windows XP Mode or learn about its system requirements, visit the Windows Virtual PCwebsite.
    Windows XP Mode, available for the Professional and Ultimate editions of Windows 7, helps prevent older business programs from becoming obsolete.

  • Reader 9 Acrobat PDF Printer Driver Continuously Installs

    Since I have installed Reader 9, the Acrobat PDF Printer Driver Continuously Installs in the background degrading system performance. Does anyone else have this problem? It auto created a System Restore point, so check that. I am running XP with all patches applies.

    Hi Mike,
    I have exactly the same problem that you describe. At first I thought it might be malicious software that was installing a fake driver, but after running Malware, Spybot and some other programs, I'm still left with the problem. I have a lot of Adobe software installed (Adobe Premiere Elements 7, Adobe Acrobat Pro 8, Adobe Audition 3, Adobe PhotoShop 7 and of course Adobe Reader 9, plus as you indicate Adobe Air and Acrobat.com I'm not sure when my problem started, since I only recognized it when I went to do a system restore. It appears to install the driver about once a minute. This leaves me with about 3 days worth of useless restore points.
    The only advice that I have received is to un-install all my Adobe stuff, then check the System Restore, then one by one re-install the packages checking each time what happens in the system restore.
    Have you found any solution since your original post?
