Can't make PDFs from Quark using Acorbat 8

I am using Quark 9
My acrobat is version 8.0
When I go to "print" to PDF, Quark prints places the file in it's printing cue.
It then stops.
I click resume printing and it begins to print but then stops and disappears from the cue, never creatign a PDF on my desktop.
Why it stops in the cue is beyond ne, it shoudlnt do that.
My os is 10.7.5
By the way, I can make a PDF by exporting from Quark as a PDF but that yeilds a very big file size wise.
For example a 50-54 meg PDF for a front of a standard size color postcard.
I need to be able to create a PDF of any documentI am working on and one thats a basic PDF, fro example a PDF of the  postcard I am working on should be around 1-2 megs
So, I need help in getting acrobat to work properly for me with Quark 9
Any help appreciated
Jack Frisch

I use Quark's print window.
I set "printer" to Acrobat 8 and PPD to acrobat 8
I then do standard printer settings: I position my document as centered etc etc.
I then click Print
I've used Quark and Acrobat for uses on sight at jobs as well as home.
I've never had any issues.
I have'nt  been able to get my current mac at home to work.
I'm tired of  exporting my documents out of Quark as PDFs under Quark's "file" menu, its not the corrct way and doesnt provided control liek the Quark print window
It works ok ubtcreates very large file sizes, which is not alwasy good for me

  • Problems when trying to make pdf from ps using distiller

    Hi,
    I'm using Adobe Design Standard CS4 and I'm trying to make a PDF from Indesign, using Distiller. I made a ps and when I opened it in Distiller the pages were cut, as if the sizes were smaller than those set in Indesign. But I did modify in jobs the dimensions so that they would be the same as those from Indesign. I thought at first that maybe the ps was badly made, but when opened in Photoshop it displayed the same sizes as those in Indesign. Any suggestions?

    Bob's answer will certainly work, and those are usually fine settings, but you may want to know more about the what and why of export settings.
    Conversion is handled in the dialog in the output panel under, of all places, the "Color Conversion" field. You have three choices: No conversion (self explanatory, and if you've got everything in the correct space to start with a good choice), and two flavors of "Convert to destination," Preserve Numbers and Preserve Appearance, which have subtle, but major, differences. The target profile is selected in the next field below.
    In the case of either one, anything RGB will get converted to CMYK if you pick a CMYK target profile (and vice versa if you pick a RGB profile). The difference is in what happens to objects that are already using the color model, but not the specific profile, of the destination.
    When you preserve numbers a CMYK object in ISO coated with values of 25,38,40,10 can be converted to SWOP with the same numbers. You can expect slight shifts in color appearance this way (of course, there are also MANY RGB colors that can't be reproduced using CMYK inks at all, so you'll pretty much always get some shifting in RGB to CMYK conversions).
    When you preserve appearance the numbers used to represent the colors are altered so the output looks the same on both devices.
    You might think this is superior, but there is a glitch. What happens to solid black (100% K only)? If you've set type in InDesign you probably colored it with the [Black] swatch. If you pick preserve numbers, you type stays 100% K and will continue to overprint, and your pressman will be happy. If you pick preserve appearance, one of two things will happen: If the document working profile is the same as the target profile, there will be no change and everyone is happy. If the profile is different, your simple black type will become a four-color mix that has the same visual appearance (when in perfect register) in the target space, and now it no longer overprints and is separated onto 4 plates, and your pressman is cursing you.
    This will happen with anything that is just a single process ink, but generally speaking this isn't an issue for the other three colors if you are printing them anyway. It might be a problem for one-color hairlines or small type, though, so you should at least be aware of the potential.
    So, the bottom line is you should assign the correct output profile as the CMYK working space in your document, if you know it in advance. If not, make your best guess and consider re-assigning the working space before exporting to PDF if you guess wrong. Any conversion from one profile to another is going to have some sort of consequences and it's up to you to choose the best answer based on the particular circumstances of your file.

  • Can't Create PDF "from file" using any MS Office files

    Acrobat 8.1.1 Pro. (OS = XP), as part of the CS3 premium edition.
    I can no longer get Acrobat to recognize any of the MS Office applications extensions (.doc, .ppt, etc...) for use with either Create PDF "From File" or when using the Combine Files feature to Merge or Package. The extensions are no longer even listed as an option in the dialog box, or in the Preference settings under "Convert to PDF".
    FYI- I can still use the PDF Maker functionality from within the MS Office application to create a PDF.
    Any Idea what could have happened, or more importantly how to fix?
    ***Update***
    I have re-installed the Acrobat 8 application, and the problem still exists.
    I'm truly puzzled.

    I get this with my PC and I ran detect-repair and reinstalled. Some PDF's I can open and other's I cannot. I can send the email to a cohort and they can open fine.
    "Can't create file: Right-click the folder you want to create the file in and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder"
    Any ideas would be great.
    Thanks!

  • Can't make pdf from davka writer program (hebrew)

    What do you do if your program isn't listed? I want to make a pdf from a Hebrew language program (davka), but that choice (not so strangely) isn't listed as a choice...can anyone help??
    Thanks,
    Lil

    This posting has nothing to do with the
    PDF Language and Specifications. However, you should be able to create PDF from DavkaWriter by printing to the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance (if you have Acrobat - not just Reader - installed)
    or if you have a recent version of DavkaWriter, you can export PDF directly from DavkaWriter (at least that is what Davka claims!).

  • Can I make PDF from xlsx file with Acrobat 8.0 professional?

    I'm using Windows 7 Professional (32-bit OS) with Microsoft Office 2007 Basic and have Acrobat 8.0 Professional. Newly installed on replacement computer (deactivated and reactivated license). Don't see PDF icon in any Microsoft Office software. Got great help in getting 8.0 added as a printer devise at SevenForums.com. But when I try to print (since I don't see the PDFMaker icon I'm going via PRINT), it gives me an "Error Printing" message. That got me to thinking and wondering if I can create a PDF using 8.0 Pro to convert these new style MSO file tags (xlsx, docx, and such)? When I tried to UPDATE, message said "There are no updates available at this time." I really don't want to update Pro to the 8.3 anyway mainly because when I had previously updated to 8.3, stuff just got a bit whacky. Any suggestions? Thanks for feedback.

    Thank you Dave and Bill for feedback. I know that I'm using older technology with newer technology but for now that's what I've got to work with. I knew Acrobat would eventually stop supported AA8, so I've saved various update patches throughout the years. My earliest is AcrobatUpd814_all_incr.msp. Wondering if I can get earlier upgrade patch because am getting the below error message. Also, via periodic backup's I've noticed that I do have a lot of *.rtp (A_AcroForm_api_811.rtp and M_ACROBATPROFESSIONAL_8_0_HOMEPAGE_html4_810.rtp). Can I use this some how if I cannot find the earlier upgrade patches? Thanks, I know long shots.

  • CAN I MAKE PDF'S FROM AUTOCAD DWGS. IN ACROBAT 9?

    CAN I MAKE PDF'S FROM AUTOCAD DWGS. USING ACROBAT 9, WAS USING ACROBAT 11 AND COULD PLOT TO PDF FROM AUTOCAD MENU, DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION WITH 9

    Newer versions of Acrobat's AutoCAD plug-in support newer versions of AutoCAD. Older versions of Acrobat have plug-ins that obviously don't support versions of AutoCAD newer than the Acrobat release. FYI, Acrobat 9 was released over seven years ago.

  • Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option doesn't works

    OK, guys, this is the problem...
    After YEARS of testing from Acrpbat 4 thru 9 on Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option... it doesn't works properly and doesn't got the entire site. ALWAYS get an error of memory or any other error but FINALLY you NEVER got the entire site. I'm talking for a big website... not like amazon.com, but a big one.
    I make a walkarround to try to capture the website in parts but Acrobat is not "intelligent" to make a resume capture of the site, because ALWAYS start from the begining instead from the resume position of the site...
    My question is, HOW can get the ENTIRE SITE in a PDF document... without getting errors or stopping the capture process...
    Don't have problem of low RAM memory because I'm in a MONSTER MACINTOSH.... 3.2 GHZ with 8 Core and 32 GB of RAM under Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 in Acrobat 9 Pro.
    If I'm not wrong, the GET ENTIRE SITE option in Web Capture (Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option) doesn't works from Acrobat 4 thru 9 in Pro version... tested, you'll never got the entire site... I'm talking in capture a huge entire site and not a little one...
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks.

    Ok so I go to a web page and select something to print. Once I've clicked print I switch over from printer/micosoft xps docu writer/fax and select Adobe PDF. All goes through with a 'Create Adobe PDF' coming up progressing through to eventually save and store. Once I open the file it end up as the picture above. I have the same version on another computer and that works fine but this particular Sony laptop it doesn't seem to work properly. 

  • Can't make pdf

    First of all, is there a way to actually talk to a tech?  While I appreciate forums, this is a definite technical issue and it probably can't be solved on a forum.  This is a crummy way of doing customer service...throwing us in the forum and not having any actual Adobe experts from the company and if there are some, then I apologize, but I wish I could have picked up the phone and called someone or spoken to someone via a chat window.
    I cannot make pdfs.  I used to be able to make them easily.  It seems to me having observed what happens with the computer that Adobe must have told Microsoft it couldn't use the pdf function any more, because it doesn't work.  It seems more and more invasive on trying to figure out how to not let any kind of pdf file be made, even though I have the File...Save As...pdf.  I used to make them easily, many of them.  Then when Microsoft went to a higher level (ugh) of Windows, it didn't work any more.  These are problems that I am experiencing.  1.  When I try to make a .pdf it turns into a Firefox icon, not a .pdf icon.  I have to have Firefox, it is the only internet browser that works for me.  Chrome, IE, Safari, and Opera won't, so telling me to uninstall Firefox won't work for me.  I did last night, and it got so bad I had to reinstall it.  2.  So I tried using a zip file creator with the Firefox icon since that was all I had to work with, I couldn't get a .pdf icon, and when I zipped the file, which it did do, and then tried to unzip it, it asked for a password.
    This Firefox deal is a big deal and it does not just affect me.  I got on the internet and tried for about 2 hours last night to solve this, and I see other people having this problem.  When attachments are sent to me any more, they come with a Firefox icon and I can't view them.  It's useless.  pdf used to be so good, and now it is trash.
    I cannot do anything technical, so don't give me an answer about getting into files and doing this or that, because it won't happen.          
    What I need is a tech who can work on my computer remotely, and solve the problem, but I won' t find that in a forum.

    I am not a tech.  I do not do technical things.  If the answer is for me to
    mess with files on my computer, I cannot, nor will I, and potentially break
    my computer.  Companies who have techs should make software that works and
    does not break down for customers.  As to whose software it is, at high
    levels these corporations are connected anyway.  The only solution will be
    a new computer.  I have tried every suggestion.  The problem with
    suggestions is that when the suggestion says go to options...and then the
    next step, if the next step does not view the same way on my computer as
    someone else's computer, which it does not, I cannot follow the
    1...2...3...steps because the views are different.   I don't know why...out
    of my technical realm.  Screenshots would be better. I appreciate your
    attempt, but a geek cannot understand the difficulty a mere mortal non-geek
    has with this stuff.  I've done the Microsoft...hit this button to fix
    solution.  I've tried to follow suggestions, but, as I said, they are over
    my head and $20 compared to buying a new computer would be worth it,
    however, I do believe that companies create problems to sell services, and
    others have told me that scenario exists as well.  This computer only works
    with Firefox.  I will have to find a computer that does not require
    Firefox.  I've uninstalled Firefox and had to reinstall it because Chrome,
    IE, Safari, and Opera are so bad.  I don't care about bells and whistles on
    computers.  I would just like something simple, the simple stuff I need, to
    work.  I can save a .pdf from Word, but it turns into a Firefox icon which
    when I zip that (since I have no choice, no other option of what I can
    zip), and then later unzip it, it asks for a password to unzip and I have
    no clue what that is since I didn't create a password.  It is not solely a
    problem with my computer.  Lately, when people send me .pdf documents, I
    cannot open them.  The only way I can open them is save them to Google
    Drive and view them there,  This is tedious and time consuming.  I used to
    be able to do all this easily, and I was the same non tech person back then
    that I am today.  I'm still programmed as a non-tech person.The thing that
    changed is "someone's" programming, whether it is Microsoft, Adobe, or
    Firefox, I do not know.  Of course, trying to solve this I read many things
    and I believe I remember a lawsuit so I think they (Microsoft/Adobe) make
    it more difficult in order to try to get all the goodies (we alone have
    sovereign rights to the software) for themselves and not the competition.
    What that does is open the door to customers to leave and find another
    solution.  As for Word 97, it worked far better than Word 2010.  I get
    error messages often when I try to save.  How many times I have I sent
    error messages to Microsoft?...too many to count.  New and shinier is not
    necessarily better and I really question whether they check things out
    thoroughly before publishing new things and pushing them out to the public,
    or whether they deliberately leave doorways that can create potential
    problems in order to make it easier for the NSA.  I need a "hit the button
    to fix this solution".  I cannot do the tech stuff and what I've tried, has
    not worked.

  • How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?

    How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?
    When I try to open the document in Illustrator and I convert to CMYK the black font converts to rich black, but to set up for Offset printintg I need the text to be only in Black (100%K).
    The original source of the document is a Microsoft Word file, I have converted the Word file to Pdf in order to setup for OFfset Printing.
    Thanks

    I have tried that way, but the downside is that the fonts are set in gray not in a 100%K, also I have to deal with other fonts that are composites and meant to stay Full Color. I could select text by text and convert to gray but, its a 64 page document and I wouldn't want to make a expensive mistake.

    Can I convert PDF to PPT using adobe acrobat x standard? If so, how?

    Hi meganl52100253,
    With Acrobat X, you can save to Word and Excel format by choosing File > Save As. But saving to PowerPoint wasn't introduced until Acrobat XI.
    You're welcome to try Acrobat if you'd like. You can download a free 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • Can't create PDFs from Word due to Cambria font. Help.

    I'm using win 7 32 bit office 2010 acrobat pro 9. I can't create pdfs from word because of problems with cambria. I've ttried all the fixes I can find but none worked. Any more ideas?
    [thread title updated by moderator]

    How are you trying to create the PDF? With AA9 you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the MS plugin.
    When you say you cannot create PDFs because of Cambria, what error messages are you getting and copy them here? At this point we really do not know what you are having problems with or how you are trying to create PDFs.
    In the future, please provide a topic to help folks that are stepping through all of the posts. A blank topic almost led me to simply skip your post.

  • How can i make still from 16:9 film tot bitmap without distortion?

    how can I make stills from my 16:9 movie to bitmap without having distortion?
    ! work with Adobe Premiere Elements 10

    Bernard Bussemaker
    If you really have a 720 x 576 Standard Widescreen Video 16:9 (PAR = 1.4587) and you want a jpg still capture from it using Premiere Elements 10, then I suggest the following:
    Premiere Elements 10
    Project Preset = PAL DV Widescreen
    Place the Timeline Indicator to the frame that you want as a jpg image.
    Go to
    Share
    Computer
    Image
    and there set Presets = DV PAL SD (it is long story, but you do not have much choice at that level), so
    you could experiment with JPEG - HD 1920 x 1080 but no sure how that is going to look going from 720 x 576 to 1920 x 1080, so
    Under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset, set
    Frame Width 1024 or 1050 pixels
    Frame Width 576 pixels
    Aspect = Square (1.0)
    ("or" relates to....if you just want a 16:9 jpg still, then 1024 will do fine. If you want a 16:9 jpg still that will present in a Premiere Elements project to fill the Edit Mode monitor, then 1050.
    1024 x 576 is the square pixel version of the non square pixel version 720 x 576 widescreen which is stretched for display after encoding.
    Image can resize downward if necessary. More details on that later.)
    If the details of what I have suggested are too much, then just try the suggestion step by step and then  let us know if it works for you. If any questions or you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
    If you are really dealing with a 720 x 576 4:3 standard video, we can go through that next.
    But the answers are in the details.
    Thanks.
