Can't convert to PDF in any CS5 software on MAC

My last MAC notebook was 10.5 OS and recently, I replaced with new MAC notebook and has 10.6 OS.  The CS4 will not update any adobe software and I was informed that I must upgrade to CS5 (pretty silly).  So I did and managed to update all Adobe software.  Now, I can't convert using any Adobe software (such as Illustrator) to PDF.  The first error says "The save as PDF option in the printer dialog are not supported".  Then I click 'OK'.  Then I see a PDF converting printer icon at the bottom of the screen.  The error on the PDF printer says that I need to install the software to use this printer and get update from Apple menu.  So I did and still the same problem.
Would any one have any idea what is happening with this CS5?

The error message is pretty clear - Print to PDF using Acrobat is not supported on OSX 10.6.x. It's the way Apple decided to handle it, as apprently these days they are control freaks and want to tell people what's good for them... nothing you can do about it. This should not affect any of the normal Save As... PDF features in Adobe apps, so use that...

  • How can I convert a pdf file that's larger than 100MB to word

    How can I convert a pdf file that's larger than 100MB to word?
    I have just paid $20 to Adobe to get this facility but It won't work ,
    as the pdf is larger than 100MB,
    I actually believe that I have paid twice for adobe but I'll take this up with them,
    in the meantilme,
    do you have any suggestions, I really need this material in word urgently,
    many thanks
    Shanna

    If your files are this large, ExportPDF is the wrong tool for you. You need Adobe Acrobat, which runs locally and does not need to send your files to Adobe.

  • Can I convert a PDF file to jpeg

    Can I convert a PDF file to jpeg

    Hi ISLJanice,
    ExportPDF service is used to convert PDF to Word, Excel Powerpoint and RTF document. For JPEG conversion from PDF you would require the complete software i.e. Adobe Acrobat.
    For more information of Adobe Acrobat please visit http://www.adobe.com/in/products/acrobat.html?promoid=JOLIR
    Thanks for your time on the forum. Please let me know if you have any other queries.

  • How can I convert a pdf to OSX10.8 so I can submit a manuscript to the itunes store. I have a windows computer only.

    How can I convert a pdf file to an OSX.10 so I can submit a manuscript to the itunes store?

    Perhaps you want to submit an "ePub" to iTunes?
    If so then revisit the authoring files for the manuscript and go to ePub from there.
    Getting to ePub from PDF is really rather awkward.
    Lotsa "use me", "use me" software that purports to solve this; but, really, it doesn't.
    So, again - - authoring files to ePub.
    One example: use Word and Calibre.
    Might groom with Sigil.
    Pipe out the finalized ePub to iTunes.
    Do the Snoopy dance.
    Be well...

  • How can I convert a PDF file in a CVS file

    I receive from my bank the monthly bankstatement as PDF file.
    How can I convert a PDF file in a CVS format in order to download this in a budgetprogramme on my computer?

    Try converting your PDF file to an Excel (.xlsx) file with the ExportPDF service.  You can then use Excel to save that file as a .CSV file.  ExportPDF does not output .csv

  • I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why?

    I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro for one year and it is valid to november 2015, but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why ?

    Hi m_karhulinna,
    If you have Acrobat Pro, you can save directly to Word format from within Acrobat by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
    (It sounds like you may be trying to use the ExportPDF online service, which is separate from Acrobat, and not necessary in your case.)
    Best,

    Reader cannot convert files to Word. There is an ExportPDF service with its own forum to help with issues to the service. However, converting files to Word is by its very nature an iffy proposition. How well it works depends upon the content of the file and how it was created.

  • Can't convert to pdf from word

    my wife uses adobe acrobat 6.0 standard with office 2003. The problem is that she can't convert to pdf from word. it works fine with an excel doc. but not a word. I did update to 6.0.1 and still nothing. There is no error message and the word document opens but nothing happens.

    I have exactly the same problem. Everything was ok untill a couple of months ago then after some auto updates the pdf buttons were no longer displayed in the word documents when it is open and if you try to convert it to pdf either by dragging the word file onto Adobe or highlighting the file and right clicking on it then selecting 'convert to Adobe PDF' it doesn't work. It looks like it attempts to do it by opening the word document but then nothing else happens. The only way I have been able to get it to convert to pdf is to go into the word document, click on file then print then select Adobe PDF then save to location. This is just a complete pain to do all the time especially when I need to convert a whole load of files in one go.
    Obviously the auto updates have effected it somehow but I can't work out where.
    I've tried uninstalling Adobe the re-installing it but it makes no difference.
    I'm using Acrobat 6.0 Standard with Windows XP Professional 2002

  • How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

    How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

    There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
    You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
    If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.
