Adobe PDF Printing Preferences (Version Adobe Acrobat 9)

Is it possible to specify the output PDF filename like "abc.pdf" in Adobe PDF Settings? Thanks you for answer this dummy question.

Log on as the local Administrator of the machine.  This does not mean the network admin account or workgroup admin account.  It means the Administrator/Owner of the local machine ( Log in using built in-administrator | Create local administrator account | Windows 7, 8, Vista ) .  Are you able to access these features when logged in as the local machine administrator?  If yes, then this is an account permissions issue probably correctable.  If no, then you have a machine permissions issue, which is more serious.

  • Adobe PDF Printing Preferences Problem

    We have seven Windows 7 64 bit machines with Adobe Pro XI (part of the Technical Communication Suite).  On one machine, we are unable to modify the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences Settings for the following two items:
    Adobe PDF Security:  It is grayed out and we are unable to edit. No selections are available from the dropdown.
    Adobe PDF Folder:  While not grayed out and we are unable to edit and no selections are available from the dropdown.  On all the other computers, this is listed as "Adobe PDF Output:"
    What do we need to do on this one computer, so we can edit the two line items?
    I removed the printer from the machine, and ran the Repair function from Acrobat.  I have changed the Default Settings: section several times.  That did not resolve the issue.  I suspect it may be a difference in the actual driver.  Any suggestions?

  • Adobe PDF printing preferences vanishing

    We have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 installed on Windows server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 and Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 is also installed on it.Users work on citrix desktops and use the Adobe printer for converting their orders which would come in their Outlook mail to PDF before dispatching them. For some reasons the printing preferences from the Adobe printer under the printer and faxes are missing. I am attaching the sceen shots. Iam unable to configure the printing preferences as in Pic 1. The only solution we have is to reinstall adobe and it would restore the printing preferences as in Pic 2 but after a day or two it would again be like the one mentioned in PIC 1 .We also have trend micro antivirus installed on the Citrix servers. We want the Adobe printer to retain the settings as in PIC 2. We also tried upgrading the product to version 9 but in vain. I am not sure what is causing this to happen can any body help please....

    Your use of Acrobat in this manner violates the Acrobat's License. You should check out the Livecycle products, they are licensed for use on a server to service multiple users.

  • No PDF printer after upgrading to Acrobat X Professional

    Hi, I recently upgraded from Acrobat 6 Pro to Acrobat X Pro (technically, an upgrade isn't possible but the Acrobat X Pro installer will uninstall Acrobat 6 and install Acrobat X). After performing the installation "successfully" I no longer have an Adobe PDF printer under printer and faxes.  I'm running Windows XP SP3 (32-bit).  If I uninstall X and reinstall 6 the printer comes back.  But nothing I do can get the printer there under X.  Am I missing something?
    Regards,

    While editing is allowed its just meant to correct a misspelling here or there. Not whole sentences. Another thing that can affect light editing of PDF with Acrobat on OSX.6.7.
    On some applications bad fonts (use FontBook) to verify your fonts. Open Fontbook without any applications on (such as acrobat, Reader, Ms Office). select all fonts. in click on box that shows fonts. Randomly select a font. The hold command key(⌘) press A, that selects all fonts. Look for and use Verify Fonts. Any fonts that can not be verified, or repaired with a Font reair Program should be removed.
    also while all fonts are selected, look for an use reconcile Fonts. This looks for Duplicate fonts. In some cases the same application would use one version one time andanother another time thus causing spacing problems.  click on each one found and see which is duplicated. Disable the oldest version.
    do this with all duplicate fonts found.
    If the above corrects the problem, locate disabled fonts, User >Library >Fonts disabled and Main Library Fonts disabled remove to desktop Make archives and place archives in safe place( in case you need to swap fonts).
    Next if you have X.6.7 Install this Patch: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1377. This corrects some font problems caused by the OSX.6.7 the update that affects Adobe Products, (such as Acrobat, Reader Indesign and others, As well as Microst Products for Mac)

  • PDF Forms - Which versions of Acrobat / Reader do they work in?

    I'm trying to persuade a client to start using pdf forms that I've created in the latest Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    I've tested the forms using Adobe Reader 8 & 9 on the Mac. The two versions work differently but I've come up with a work-around solution that means I can give the same advice to users of both versions of Reader.
    But I could do with knowing if pdf forms work in earlier versions of Acrobat / Reader? Macs & PCs?
    And if they don't work, what sort of warning will come up on screen? Ie. Will it say that they need to upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader and give a link? - which would be good! Or will some other error message come up that will just cause confusion?
    Has Adobe published any advice anywhere?

    The Forms Creation where you use filliable forms that can be saved and attached to email, (500 returns max - using the Advanced > Extend Features in Reader). Works also in version 7 or reader. Nothing below 7 will work.

  • Slow PDF printing after upgrading to Acrobat 6 - Help Needed

    When I used Acrobat 5, my 95ppm printer printed pdf files at that speed (I generally throw several thousand page PDF docs at it at a time).  Now since I upgraded to Acrobat 6, printing is MUCH slower.  Nothing has changed other than the version of Acrobat.  What is going on and is there anything I can do about this?  Thanks in advance!

    I'm just going to give this a little bump with a little more info.
    It doesn't seem to matter if I set the printer up localy or over the network.  I have tried several computers (WinXP and/or Win2003) and all with the same results.  This is crazy if this is "just how it is".  How is a printshop supposed to keep up when people are bringing in PDF docs made in Acrobat 9, but the newest version we can get to print in a timely manner is Acrobat 5.  Its not that it takes a while to get up to full speed.  We deal with huge PDFs and, with Acrobat 9, a print job can run for hours without speeding up at all.

  • PDF Printer not working with Acrobat 8 & Vista Ultimate 64bit

    I have not been able to print pdf's.  I am uptodate on upgrades and have installed, reinstalled printers and repaired the program etc.
    When I install an adobe printer I get the Adobe PDF Converter.  When I try to print with it, I get an audible failure signal and nothing ever happens.  Sometmes I get a sceen indicating it has failed, sometimes not.  I have had this problem since upgrading to a new computer with Vista Ultimate 64bit OS.
    I have seen various "Fixes" but none seem to address my problem or work for it.
    Anyone with the same problem and perhaps a solution?

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: Printing Preferences display issue

    Hi everyone,
    A user reported an issue with the PDF Printer Preferences drop-down menus running outside the window and that there should be more checkboxes below the three that are showing (see screenshots).
    Here is a screenshot of this same window on a coworker's machine (same version of Adobe and Windows).
    We are using Windows XP SP3. Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.3.1), and current video driver. The resolution is currently set to max, but I tried a few other resolutions but they made no difference on how the PDF Printing Preferences displayed. I've tried repairing, uninstalling, restarting, and then reinstalling but none have done the trick yet. I also have checked the DPI settings and it is set to Normal.
    If you have any advise, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    SOLUTION:
    The issue was somehow related to DPI (START > Settings > Control Pannel > Display > Settings Tab > Advanced button). Eventhough the DPI was set to normal, I switched it to LARGE, restarted the machine, logged in after the reboot, changed it back to normal size, restarted again, logged in once more, checked the Printer Preferences and PRESTO --- a properly displayed window.

  • 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.

  • Adobe PDF Printer not working as print driver; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

    I have installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on a newly formatted SSD with Windows 7, 64 bit on my desktop machine. The program was installed from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 and updated within the program. I have the program also installed on my laptop, and the Adobe PDF Printer driver is working properly on my laptop.
    On my desktop with the newly formatted SSD, the Adobe PDF printer driver is not working. Note that I am using the printer driver, and not any pdf creation techniques within MS Office or other programs.
    When I go to the Adobe PDF printing preferences on my desktop, I only get a generic, two tab window open. When I print a file to this printer on my desktop machine, I do not get a window opening that asks where to create the pdf or what to name it, and I never see any files created. In MS Word, the Create PDF option under the Acrobat tab works and opens a dialog to ask the name and location to save, and then opens a PDF Maker progress window and properly creates the file. I can also save a file as an .eps or .ps file and use Distiller to create the pdf. However I cannot get the Adobe PDF printer driver in my Devices and Printers to work properly, although it works just fine on my laptop with the same program (Pro 9.5.5) and same Windows version (7, 64 bit).
    Repairing, uninstalling and re-installing does not solve the problem. Acrotray.exe *32 process is running. Any ideas on why this won't run properly on my desktop, but will run on a similarly configured laptop?
    On my laptop, I get a full, (7) tabl menu with all the normal options:

    I found this answer from Deepak Chauhan on another forum, and it solved this problem!
    Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
    If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
    Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
    Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
    - from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
    - go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
    - go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
    Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
    If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
    Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
    1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
    delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
    2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
    delee the PDF port monitor if present
    3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
    again delete and pdf printer subkey
    If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
    Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
    Once you've all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
    Copy and pate the following commands in order
    1: net stop spooler
    2: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection AdobePDFPortMonitor 128 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf
    3: net start spooler
    4:rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Adobe PDF" /f "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf" /r "Documents\*.pdf" /m "Adobe PDF Converter"
    That should set back the pdf printer.
    This seemed to provide the link that provided the Adobe PDF Settings tab to the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences that was missing!

  • Cannot delete Adobe PDF printer

    Tried to load Adobe XI, ended up with two printers on my device list (Adobe PDF & Adobe PDF (copy 1)). Tried to delete both, the copy went away but the other just comes back every time I reopen the Devices and Printers. I uninstalled Adobe XI and this didn't help.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello,
    Firstly, could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
    Also, I need to inform you that Acrobat 8 has come to an end of life and Adobe no more provides technical support for older versions.
    You might need to refer the KB doc link mentioned below for PDF printer missing issue using Acrobat 8:
    Error "Warning 20225..."| PDF printer missing | Acrobat 8.0, Acrobat 3D | Windows
    Then, let me know when you get the message that serial number does not exist. When you are running an upgrade, you need to provide serial number twice.
    Firstly, it asks for serial number of the upgrade version and secondly it asks for serial number of the previous version.
    Please check for the same and then let me know.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • Cannot print to Adobe Acrobat X from any other program

    I recently installed Acrobat X on my Windows XP3 system.  Previously, the Adobe Printer installed by the Acrobat 8 was accessible from any other program.  I simply chose the Adobe PDF printer and the documents "printed" to Acrobat.  With the Acrobat X install, this no longer works.
    I've tried repairing the Acrobat X - no luck
    I've tried deleting the Adobe PDF printer and then allowing Acrobat to re-install the printer during the repair - no luck
    I've checked the Adobe PDF printer properties, and do not have "Enable advanced printing features" checked.
    I am using the print spooler.
    The Adobe PDF printer is using the Adobe PDF Converter driver.
    I've read through a number of discussions/posts, and have not found a solution.  I am working around the problem by printing to pdfFactory program and then saving as a .pdf, then managing the files in Acrobat X.
    If anyone is aware of a solution/location, please respond to this post.   

    Are you saying there is no Adobe PDF printer, or it does not work? If it simply that it does not seem to work, then try to print to file with the printer. Then open the file in Distiller. If you get a resultant PDF, then the problem is most likely that you have somehow deactivated AcroTray.exe in the running applications. The program is in the Acrobat folder and needs to be started in that case. It should also be listed in your boot sequence for startup.

  • I have Adobe acrobat 9 pro why do some files open automatically and other do not.

    when I save a file as a pdf. and go to the folder the file only opens if I select it. When I download a file as a pdf it opens automatically in the same folder. How do I get all files to open automatically.

    The options on the save are typically either in the printer properties (if printing to the Adobe PDF printer) or in the Acrobat preferences if using PDF Maker in such programs as WORD. The button is included to allow opening on creation. If it is opening on download, that is typically based on how your browser is set up to call software for the file types being downloaded.

  • Problem with Printing Preferences Acrobat XI on Windows 7

    I just upgraded from Acrobat X Std to XI Pro on both my Windows 7 desktop and Windows 8 laptop.  The laptop works fine, but on the desktop I'm not able to print to the Adobe PDF printer from Word or Excel or Chrome.  I noticed that the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences do not display any options for Default Settings or Adobe PDF Security.  I did find the Standard.joboptions file in the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings folder on both machines.  What could be the problem?

    No files appeared in C:\Users\Pavilion\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings but they did appear in Distiller.
    I tried to copied them from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Settings, but found they were already there.  I copied them by adding -COPY before .joboptions in the name.  Now they appeared in  Printing Preferences with the -COPY added.
    I tested a print from Word (using File / Print), but was not prompted for the filename or location.  I checked my entire system and couldn't find the PDF file anywhere.  I tried changing the Port to Desktop\*.pdf using Printer Properties, but that didn't work either.
    I was able to successfully use the Acrobat menu item in Word & Excel to create a PDF but it automatically created the file on the Desktop without an option to change the filename.
    After several days and hours, I gave up and installed Acrobat X on the W7 computer.  I can still use Acrobat XI on the W8 computer.  So be it!
    Thanks anyway for your attempts to help.
