Adobe pdf printer does not appear

I downloaded Adobe Reader 9 to my HP laptop, but the Adobe pdf printer does not appear on the list of available printers. My HP says it has AMD Turion (tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-34 and Windows XP (Version 2002, Service Pack 2). Can someone tell me how to get the Adobe pdf printer to appear in the list of available printers? Thanks. dmm

Reader is just for the reading pdf files. It does not create pdf files.
For that you need one of the commercial Acrobat products. If you only
need to create 5 or less pdfs, then you can use Acrobat.com.

Acrobat 7.0 Pro pdf printer does not populate? Error says printer port.

I got a new computer and was installing Creative Suite & Acrobat pro and the Adobe PDF printer does not show up in the Printers. I downloaded the upgrade and Windows says it cannot install.
I am running Windows 7 Pro

Two parts of AA 7 will not install on Win 7 (32 or 64-bit): the Adobe PDF printer and AcroTray.exe. You can install a separate color PS printer (either one from Adobe or possibly one for an HP color PS printer), change the name to Adobe PDF and change the port to FILE. That should do the job, but you will ALWAYS have an extra step in the creation of a PDF. You will have to print to the printer and a PS file will be created (probably with a PRN extension). You then have to open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. From my brief testing, this process will work and the rest of Acrobat and Distiller seem to work (though I did not test extensively). If this is unacceptable to you, then purchase AA XI (upgrade not available from AA 7).

After takimg the picture of my document and scanning into the adobe PDF it does not read clearly words are meshed together

after taking a picture of my document and scanning into the adobe PDF
it does not read clearly. words are meshed together

Hi melisaf76024648,
Can you please tell me what process you're using to create the PDF? Are you scanning directly from the scanner into Acrobat? Or, are you scanning the document, and then using Adobe PDF Pack to convert the scanned image to PDF? Or, some other method?
Please walk me through how you're creating the PDF, and we will have a better idea where things went awry.
Best,
Sara

In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

If it is Win 7 or later, the Adobe PDF printer for AA 7 will not install and AcroTray will not function. You will have to install a PS driver from Adobe or maybe an HP color PS printer driver. Then edit the driver properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to FILE. You will always have to do an extra step in creating PDFs by opening the file that is created in Distiller to get the PDF.
If you are talking about Win 8, you may not be successful at all. If you got Acrobat and Distiller to install, then there is a chance.

Custom options in Adobe PDF printer are not showing up in "Default Settings"

Hello,
I am using Windows 7 and I am trying to create custom "Default Settings" in my Adobe PDF printer. When I make edits to an existing setting, click "Save As..." and save with a new filename, the new settings are not showing up in the "Default Settings" drop down box in the "Adobe PDF Settings" tab of the "Adobe PDF Document Properties" dialogue box. I can confirm that the new settings are indeed saved on my hard drive and are located in:
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings
No matter how many different custom settings I save as described above, they are simply now showing up. This works for me on other computers, but just happens not to work on my current one, which recently had an OS reinstall from scratch. Prior to the reinstall, it worked just fine on my computer (an ASUS UX31A laptop). The included pictures demonstrate what I'm talking about.
Any thoughts?

I finally solved this. The path for the Adobe PDF Settings was set to the follwing in the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\PDF Settings):
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\
Even though "%USERNAME%" should work, it doesn't. I just replaced it with my actual username and it worked.

Adobe Create pdf icon does not appear in Firefox 36.0.1

I am using Windows 10 TP and have used Adobe Acrobat XI with Firefox for months now and have been able to click on the Adobe Icon on the FIrefox toolbar to convert web pages into an Acrobat file. In the last couple of weeks this icon has disappered but the following items still exist:-
1. Under Options/Applications Portable Document Format (PDF) is still set to Use Adobe Acrobat (default)
2. In the list of Add-ons I still have an entry Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10.32. This is the Adobe PDF Plug-in for Firefoc and Netscape.
3. I have uninstalled ALL add-ons ansd re-installed but that does not resolve the problem
4. I have uninstalled Firefox and re-installed it again but that does not resolve the problem
Can you please offer any suggestions to resolve this problem?

I forgot one detail. This happened while I was having trouble seeing the mouse cursor (I use Apple's Magic Mouse). It had disappeared briefly. I had to drag the cursor out of the Firefox Window for it to reappear. I accidentally entered full screen view while the cursor was not visible.

Adobe icon for pdf download does not appear on a website w/ FF, but does w/ IE,AOL, Chrome. Why?

Have been accessing monthly statements for more than a year, by clicking on the adobe icon in the download statement column, most recently in mid September, 2010. On October 4 I attempted to access September's info and the icon did not appear. I went thru tech support for the site and it was suggested that it could be a flash problem. We tried several corrections, reloading Adobe flash, checking pop up blocker,etc. When Chrome was loaded and the icons appeared, it was determined that the problem was thru FF. I later tried successful access with IE and AOL.
Since I had been successful for so long thru FF, what might have caused FF to fail in this small but important function? Other than usual updates, nothing was done on my part that should have affected my FF browser.

Are you using the official Adobe website to download Flash?

Print does not appear in IOS 5 iPad

HI, I am working on an app for iPad. I have implemented Print functionality in it to print PDF and PPT files. When I tested my app on ios 4 iPad it was working fine. Then I upgraded my iPad to ios 5. Now when I test my app, the print controller never appears. I read some discussions and found apple has removed Print and Share in ios 5. Is it really true? Is there any other way by which I can implement print functionality again. I checked my code hundred times but could not find any error. Code is fine, but why print controller is not appearing in ios 5 but still appear on ios 4. I am running same code on both ios 5 and ios 4.

Adobe XI v11.0.10.32 PDF printer does not exist

Hi

Please advise.
Thanks,

What did you install? Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat?

After installing Adobe Version X Pro, I still cannot "create" a PDF package from Excel since the Adobe add-in does not appear after installation. Can someone provide their inputs?

I'm having issues with getting the Adobe add-in to appear after installing Adobe Version X. Version XI works but it is not compatible with another software my company uses so we have to stick with Version X. Please help.

Make sure your Acrobat X is up to date. 10.0 will not do this, 10.1 is supposed to. Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications

Adobe PDF converter does not convert and include the videos from websites when completed

Have just recently upgraded to Acrobat Pro X and have attempted to convert several on-line websites to PDF's. In each and every case, the videos were not included in the final conversion to PDF.
Not sure if there are specific settings that I need to address or if I am doing something wrong here. Have been told by colleagues it should be a simple click to achieve these results and that Acrobat X does convert and include videos. These videos are in Adobe Flash Player format 11.1.102.63. Not sure where to go from here, any assistance greatly appreciated!

In the IE toolbar, under the PDF Convert button, select Preferences. Click on the Conversion Setting button under the General tab and make sure that "Embed Multimedia Content when possible" is selected.

Acrobat PDF plugin does not appear in Word 2013

After I installed Acrobat XI Pro, I do not see the Acrobat tab in the Word 2013 ribbon bar. If I use Word 2010, I do see the Acrobat tab. Is this a bug in Acrobat XI Pro that will be fixed for Word/Office 2013?

Ok, both of you have proven how "smart" you are but have failed to answer the -basis- of the question "will Adobe fix or make compatible Acrobat 11 so the PDFMaker add-in will work with Office 2013?". I had initially responded to kangfamily to provide more information and confirmation that the issue does exist and that the incompatibility is with both Acrobat 10 and 11, not just with 11. I offered that it is an incompatibility with Acrobat's PDFMaker add-in and Office 2013, not a setting or other issue in either product.
Obviously Acrobat 11 was released before Office 2013 so Office 2013 will not show in their help pages. The base, underlying question is to Adobe and that is "Is Adobe going to release a patch/update/upgrade (pick your prefered word) to Acrobat 11 that will make the PDFMaker add-in compatible with Office 2013? And if they are, should we expect to see it soon?" This question is the same as when Microsoft released Office 2010 and Adobe released Acrobat 10 with initial compatibility only with the 32 bit version of Office 2010 but subsequently released a patch to Acrobat 10 to make it compatible with the 64 bit version. On that basis, the question should also indicate there are still the 2 versions of Office 2013 (32 and 64 bit) as well. Since neither of you work for Adobe, I don't think either of you can answer that question.
PS: I am not hijacking this thread but clarifying what is occurring by providing more indepth information about the incompatibility and clarifying what the base question is.

Adobe Reader Icon does not appear

For some reason, when I push Adobe Reader through a GPO, none of the users see an Adobe Reader logo. They will only see the generic file icon (pic 1). If I go to the file's properties, you can see pic 2. Also, double-clicking on the file will open in Adobe Reader, it's just visually annoying to most of our users. Does anyone know what I could be missing or not doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi cndav2014,

Adobe Presenter tab does not appear in PowerPoint 2013

Hello,
I have a user who is using a laptop running Windows 7 (64-bit) and Office 2013 (64-bit). I installed Adobe Presenter (64-bit) for him, and it worked well until this week, when the Adobe Presenter tab disappeared.
When I go into the Add-Ins, I see it in the COM Add-Ins. I have removed it, and tried to re-add it, but it told me that the MenuLauncher.dll was not a valid Office add-in. I re installed Presenter, but that did not help.
When I log in to that computer, the Adobe Presenter tabs appears in PowerPoint for both of my profiles (admin, and regular domain user) but not for his profile. Can you tell me what I can do to fix it for this user?
Thanks,
Jen

Please create a new user profile for the user which has the complete admin rights and then try to use the Presenter.
If it still doesn't work then you need to remove it completely from the machine and then reinstall it. You may follow the instructions mentioned below for clean installation.
Remove the Adobe Presenter and its components from the control panel.
Delete the left over files and folders manually. You may check the following locations for left over files and folders.
C:\Program Files\Adobe*
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe*
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Macrovision Shared
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe*
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe*
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Macrovision Shared
C:\ProgramData\Adobe*
C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet

C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Adobe*
C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe*
C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe*
Then Create a new user account which has the local admin rights and login to that new user account in Windows.
Disable the anti-virus or any firewall security if running.
Delete the following windows registry as mentioned below.Before deleting registry please take a backup of all Windows registry.
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
