Adobe PDF Printer - How to print in 200dpi?

Hi,
I'm trying to set up Adobe PDF Printer to print tickets for a Danish football club, and I need it to print in 200dpi.
In the Print Quality drop down menu (in Adobe PDF Printer Settings) I can only choose presets (72, 144, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 3600 or 4000dpi)?
Is it possible to add 200dpi to this list somehow?
Or is there another way to set the print quality to 200dpi?
Thanks.
All help is greatly appreciated.
\Martin

Hi Michael,
Thank you for the reply.
The OS is Windows Server 2003 ServicePack 2.
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
See attached screenshot for the default settings which doesn't include 200dpi.
Thanks again.
\Martin

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

Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint. I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason. The error says "an unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF. How do I fix this?

Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.

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

Some Adobe PDF documents don't print from Adobe Reader; with other software it works correctly

Dear community,
I'm facing the problem that some Adobe PDF documents with lots of colors and lines (size less than 3 MB) don't print on our printers from Adobe Reader XI.
The same files when opened with PDF XChange or PDF Architect are printed out without problems.
How can I provide an Adobe Reader that is able to do so? Any recommendations about solving the issue are very appreciated.
Best regards
Christian

Word document problem fixed at the moment by deleting and adding the Lexmark printer again.

"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!

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.

Possible fix for Adobe PDF plug ins (Safari & Print) on Snow Leopard

I think I just discovered a "fix" for the Adobe PDF problem, as well as for some other miscelanious problems with Snow Leopard applications. I found the fix for the plug in from PDF on Adobe's website. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50983.html
Following these directions (changing the option from 64-bit, to 32-bit when the application loads), seems to have cured the plug-in for PDF from Adobe and loads the plug in properly.
There is a link, http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/512/cpsid_51248.html for changing the settings similarly for Automator to fix the "save as PDF" in Print.
I've also applied this "suggested fix" to Mail and Address Book, to see if it remedies some of the continued glitching and crashes on my iMac, even after the latest update (10.6.1). No problems with my PBG4, as it's not Snow Leopard nor Intel.
Hope this solution is useful.

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...

Adobe PDF 8 will not "print"

I cannot find the work-around to the problem mentioned in this post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1267786&tstart=75 :
"I upgraded to Leopard. Now when I attempt to create a PDF file by printing using the Adobe PDF 8 printer, the file will process into the printer job list, and then the printer will PAUSE. No amount of Resuming or restarting the print queue will get the job to process and actually create the PDF file. Each time, the printer queue will Pause the printer. I have tried this with several different applications.
I have tried to use the PDF button and Save as PDF. I now get a dialog box stating that this feature is not supported."
Can anyone help me?

That is a pretty old post. Adobe released a fix for Acrobat Pro in Feb of this year to resolve the problems with 10.5. You need to update your software to fix the problem. I believe the version should be 8.1.2.

This discussion has been bouncing around the tech support discussion boards on Adobe's website as well. Here's a quick fix until Apple and Adobe manage to work things out with PDF creation via the PDF virtual printer (thanks to codepoerty.net website for the initial fix). It works for me.
In Terminal type the following if you are using Acrobat 7.x:
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf700
In Terminal type the following if you are using Acrobat 8.x:
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf800
In either case, you will be prompted for your admin password to approve the permissions change. You won't see any sort of visual confirmation that the file was modified successfully, but you should now be able to create PDFs using the virtual PDF printer.
This will probably revert back to the original permissions if you do a permissions repair, so keep the instructions handy just in case.
Good luck!

Print to adobe pdf disappeared from quickbooks print menu

For some reason when I try to print from quickbooks 2010 or my internet browser (firefox) I no longer see adobe pdf as an option. It used to be there. I have Acrobat Pro 9. Help!

You can try to repair the installation from under the help menu in Acrobat.

PRINTING: How to print more than one email at a time?

Is it not possible to simply select 10 different emails and send them to the print queue?
I've been searching for hours now and the closest thing I've found is an Automator action that allows users to condense several emails into one (and print from there). This doesn't work for me as I have several receipt emails that shouldn't be combined. Is my only option, seriously, to sit there, one by one, and open > print > close, open > print > close.
There HAS to be a better way than that. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
David

OK - try this: Do what advanced user said (⌘-select multiple messages) and print to PDF someplace convenient like your Desktop. Highlight/select all newly created PDF icons. Open all simultaneously with Preview (Right-click Open With if you have another default application for PDF, or just right-click Open if Preview is your default PDF application). This displays the multiple documents inside a single window, each accessible by clicking on the appropriate document icon in the sidebar, at least, apparently, that is the default behavior on mine unless you have changed that behavior in Preview Preferences General.
Simultaneously select/drag all the second to last document icons displayed in the document sidebar and drag&drop them on top of the first document icon. "Save as" to whatever. Quit Preview. You now have a multi-page PDF of all those individual PDFs that you started out with.
