Can't print to Acrobat PDF (v9.4) using Quark 8 + Snow Leopard

I don't know what's happened but I have always been able to print (in Quark 8) to either my physical printer or to Adobe PDF (save as a .ps file to then make a high res PDF in Distiller). (I have Acrobat Pro 9.4) Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard I now can't use custom page settings in the Print setup pane and the Acrobat PDF PPD doesn't seem to be working. I have now read that Snow Leopard is not compatible with the Adobe PDF printer, but only in reference to InDesign. Is this true with Quark 8 too? Help!

Since Adobe PDF Printer is not available on Snow Leopard all applications that used Adobe PDF Printer to print pdfs will not be able to print pdfs.

Do you mean some of your software does not work in Lion? Do you want to return to using Snow Leopard? If so, then do this:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

Cannot print to Adobe PDF from InDesign CS4 under Snow Leopard (10.6.2)

Hello All,
Hopefully the subject line says all. Running SL and CS4, and after manually deleting the "old" Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, I am unable to print to PDF — or select "Save As Adobe PDF" under the Mac OS print dialog. This is insanely frustrating on may levels, as this was once a 3-minute operation and now has stretched into two days of futile searching for a solution.
There is a "tech doc" somewhere out there that offers a "solution". But beware, as it has not worked for me. Once you manually search for and remove the Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, you are supposed to magically be able to select the "Save As Adobe PDF" option. This is not the case for me.
Am trying to print, once again, from InDesign CS4 (NOT via the Export command as that will not allow me to set page size, or print separations). There is no Adobe PDF driver there anymore and there is no option to print PDFs. Of course, I can rest easier with the knowledge that everything is easier now in SL.

For a long time I was printing out of InDesign CS4 to a PS file and Distilling to a PDF, either composite or separated. Then Snow Leopard came along and that workflow seemed no longer available. It seems some well meaning people didn't understand a professional DTP workflow.
I had to work between two Macs to create a project and then make separations.
Eventually I went back to the Adobe InDesign forums and folks insisted that a Adobe PDF 9 printer should be available in my print drivers.
On that suggestion I completely uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and then reinstalled it.
It worked, I had the PDF printer back and can now print to a postscript file and do separations as I always have.
(Another story is that Snow Leopard killed my Epson 2200 printer)
At one stage I did an update of Acrobat 9 and it caused me to lose the Adobe printer again. Going through the procedure again brought it back and this time after a Acrobat 9 update it stuck.
In my opinion somebody screwed up. It's not enough to be able to create PDFs out of Microsoft Word. There are people out here trying to make a living and need to be able to create print separations for some offset printers.

Print Booklet to PDF in Indesign CS5 on Snow Leopard?

Moving our 200 clients over to CS5 and Snow Leopard and finding out that our one coarse creates booklets and during testing it was noticed that you can't create a pdf from a booklet.
How does one do this under Snow Leopard now??
Thanks,
Dan

Yea but look right below your circle. Everything has a white background and looks like it was just thrown there. Its a wonder they didn't make the "User Accounts and Family Safety" text the same blue color as the other stuff. Luckily the icon is there to help but its hard on the eyes in my opinion.
In OS X System Preferences aka Control Panel its far easier to get around in. If it was Windows 7 it would all be a solid color....see how Personal section is lighter than the Hardware section and it then flip flops as it goes. Looking at the Windows 7 Control Panel and other things its just a bad visual design.
But this isn't the place to be talking about this so this will be my last post unless its about PDF printing and Snow Leopard. Thanks.....

Can't open any online PDF files since I installed Snow Leopard.

I now have MacOSX 10.6.8 installed in my MacBook Pro and I'm unable to view any online PDF files using Safari 5.1 or Firefox 5.01. I have submitted this problem to both Firefox and Safari without success. Does anyone have this problem?

From the Safari menu bar, please select Help > Installed Plug-Ins. What plugins are listed in the window that opens?

Illustrator CS3 can't print/save as PDF

I installed CS3 and the error message:
"The Save as PDF and Save PDF as PostScript options in the Printer Dialog are not supported"
Does this mean that its not picking up on the Adobe Acrobat/Distiller 8?
How would I activate this? Help!!
Same thing with InDesign CS3, can't print/save as PDF.
(this is on a mac)

It may be looking for your RIP ppd, as well as Acrobat 8. Acrobat should have installed all the necessary files, but you might take a look into that. I don't think Distiller is part of the Save-As procedure. You might take a look into "Add-A-Printer" OSX option and select Acrobat 8 there ( although it should have loaded during the install ). Another option is re-install your printer's software and any RIP software ( if available ). Before you do, get whatever updates you can from the manufacturer. It could also mean, after you've done the previous suggestions, you correct permissions on your HD using Apple's Disk Utility. Leave the machine ON overnight so that the Apple Utilities can clean house while you're sleeping.

Can you print password protected pdfs from an ipad?

This may help, but I do note that the printer you state is NOT on the airprint list. You may need to go to the app store and see if Canon has an app that will facilitate printing on a non AirPrint device.

How to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

how to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

I say to highlight more than one if you can because if the PDF you highlight was made by using Acrobat, it will change all PDF's made by Acrobat but if you have one made by some other product, it may not change them to open with Acrobat.
So in other words, at some point you may have to do it to a PDF made by some other product.

Hi, can i print to my HP5000n laser jet using iPhone & Airport Express?

hi, can i print to my HP5000n laser jet using iPhone connected to Airport Express. My Macbook pro with mountain lion is already hooked up and using this printer on Airport Express

You can go to the iTunes App Store and purchase a 3rd party App that provides support for the iPhone to wirelessly print via your Airport Express to the Printer. You'll need to do d Search there.
Hope this helps

Adobe Acrobat 8's Distiller fails in Snow Leopard

I saw this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10084009 , which deals with Acrobat 8.0 but doesn't say whether anyone has found a way to get Acrobat's distiller to work on Snow Leopard. All of Adobe's help systems unhelpfully point to this: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html .
With that being said, does anyone know how to get Acrobat 8's distiller in working order in Snow Leopard? If not, has anyone heard whether Adobe's planning to issue a patch?

No explanations how Templeton's Distiller 8 can work in snow leopard since it clearly doesn't with all the old workflows. You can no longer select the Adobe printer and you can't even drop a Word document on Distiller anymore.
The only way I've been able to find is to select "Save as Postscript" from the PDF menu and then drop the postscript file onto Distiller. (a true pain)

I can't scan from my Canon Pixma 882 after installing Snow Leopard 10.6.3. I did get the printer to work after downloading the printer software from Apple. I used to have 10.4.1. How can I get my scanner to work?

Check here to see if there is an updated driver available for it:

I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion and found out it was not compatible with my HP printer (HP photosmart C5580) so I called Apple and asked how to get Mountain Lion off and Snow Leopard back on. The Tech told me to

I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion. Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine. Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer. I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs. Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it. Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X
Revert to Snow Leopard
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.
