Can't print to PDF with Acrobat XI Pro

Since I upgraded from X PRO to XI PRO I have not been able to print to PDF. All my different printer settings to Adobe PDF's are not working.

Unfortunately not. I had to re-install X PRO and return XI PRO. Thanks.

Can't print to pdf with Acrobat 7.1.0 in Vista

I am unable to print to pdf with Acrobat 7.1.0 in Windows Vista. I used to be able to, now all of a sudden that functionality is gone. I haven't knowingly done any upgrades since the last time I successfully printed to pdf, but I do have autoupdates enabled, so I can't say what Microsoft may have been up to recently. When printing to pdf from Internet Explorer 7, the window simply closes. A printer icon shows up in the system tray but registers 0 print jobs and soon disappears. When printing to pdf from Word (2003), Word crashes with a series of message boxes saying something about attempting recovery. Any suggestions?

AcroTray is running. Thanks for asking that question, as this is one thing that I have disabled on computers running XP, since disabling it in XP doesn't adversely affect my limited use of Acrobat in any way. I have not disabled it with Vista. I tried printing to file, and that also caused the window to close. I happened to have a second IE7 window open when attempting to print to file, and it did not close, so it only affects the active window. I don't know if that helps at all; when a program crashes, I typically observe it take with it all open windows associated with that program, so the fact that this is only closing the active window seems potentially useful to me in my ignorance of what is the root cause.

After clean install cannot print to pdf with Acrobat 8 Pro

I recently had to do a clean install on my desktop computer. Is there some way I can print to pdf with my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, which was working fine prior to the clean install. I am aware Adobe no longer supports this version, but isn’t this program able to function without being updated? Want to print pdf files from websites and Microsoft office. Am running Windows 7 Ultimate OS.

Hi jadbe,
Windows 7 is not a tested platform for Acrobat 8.

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help, Bruce

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help, Bruce

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Printing to PDF using Acrobat X Pro - Cannot figure it out!

I do not have the option to print to pdf and cannot figure out how to perform this function. Following the user guides there should be an option under file > Print > advanced > print to pdf
However under the advanced options i do not have the option "print to pdf"
Furthermore, if i scroll through my printer options this is also not available.
Please help!

I tied to print to pdf within Acrobat 10 Pro yesterday trying to solve a printing problem. It seemed that the application would not print to pdf but required me instead to "save as" pdf to create another pdf copy.

Can't print to PDF from Acrobat XI

I'm having trouble printing to a PDF from Acrobat XI Pro (FYI, I'm using OS X 10.8).
Here's what's goin on:
I open the file in Acrobat.
I hit Cmd-P and in the "Printer" dropdown list I select "Adobe PDF 7.0".
I click "Print" in the lower right.
The print monitor icon pops up, but nothing happens. (When I click it to view progress, it just sits there and says "Ready to print", but no matter what I do, nothing happens.)
To clarify, as far as I can tell, this is only a problem when I try to print using the "Printer" dropdown menu and is universal across all applications (i.e. Acrobat, Word, Chrome, etc.). When I select "Save as PDF" within any of those applications, there is no problem at all.
You may be asking yourself "Then why don't you just continue to 'Save as PDF' and forget about the 'Printer' option?" The "why" is not important, so I'll save you my reasoning as it has no bearing on fixing this problem. I'll just say that I have a somewhat frequent need to do it in this particular manner and need to have that option available to me. No offense intended, I simply want to solve to problem without running off on an unimportant tangent.
I'm sure you'll have other questions about my system and what I'm doing/have done, so please ask away.
Thanks so much

I've had the same issue on 10.7 (and, I believe 10.6). Although this point may also be contributing to the problem, I don't suspect that it is the only demon at at work here. However, if you are referring to all versions of OS X that would make some sense since the only print drivers I could find on Adobe's downloads section didn't show support for anything newer than OS 9.2.2
As to your suggestion, I'm not sure I follow what you mean. Here is a screen cap of the dialogue box I'm presented in Acrobat XI. Can you please point out the "PDF Button" you're talking about?
After reading your comment again, am I correct in assuming that you are suggesting I essentially save the document as a PDF, as is usually present in the print dialogue box for other applications? If that is what you are suggesting, I already explained that that is not an option and doesn't solve the problem.
Thanks

Can't Print to PDF using Acrobat 8 Prof after deleting demo of v 10

Hi, I made the mistake of trying version 10 to see if it had any improvements over what I was using v 8.1.5 for, found that there were none, so I deleted it and now I can't print to PDF because it's looking for v 10. Unfortunately had to move recently and can no longer find the original disk to do a new installation. Does anyone know how to redirect the driver to the original v 8? I can open v 8 and everything else seems to work ok, just when I try to print to create a PDF it can't do it.

Thanks for the quick reply Bill! I had tried that before and tried it again. Finally got things to work by copying all the contents of my Acrobat sub-directory from the v 8 folder to the hollow v 10 folder. Now it works again! Thanks for you help and inspiration to figure this thing out. Am now a very happy camper and didn't need to tear my house appart to find the original disk!

Can I add a Youtube video to a PDF with Acrobat 9 Pro?

I was reading about PDF portfolios in Acrobat X Pro: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/online-eportfolios-multimedia-presentations.html
It says and I quote, "With Acrobat X Pro, you can also present live web content. For example, you can insert a YouTube video to play within your PDF Portfolio, or you can add a web page that will dynamically load the most current page content. Anyone can view your PDF Portfolio using free Adobe Reader® software."
Is this also possible with Acrobat 9 Pro? I have tried following all the steps (I even did a search and found this: http://teacherlink.ed.usu.edu/tlresources/training2/acrobat/AcrobatwMultimedia.pdf), however, whenever I add the Youtube url using the multimedia tool in Acrobat, I get the message 'no media file has been specified.'
Is it not posisble to add Youtube videos to PDFs in version 9 pro?

PDF Portfolios in Acrobat X support the use of 'live' Web pages as documents (they open in an embedded browser window). You can therefore create a reference to a page from the YouTube website, but the content will only appear if the viewer has a Web connection and allows trust access. It's essentially no different to including a Web link in a regular file, except the browser appears within the Acrobat or Adobe Reader window.

Getting errors printing to PDF with Acrobat 8 in Leopard

I get the following error when trying to print to PDF in Acrobat 8 under 10.5:
"No %%BoundingBox: comment in header"
What does this mean and how do I fix it?
I have updated to 10.5.4 and Acrobat 8.1.2 with the same results. The error remains the same in the PDF print queue, though the job actually disappears now that I upgraded Acrobat. The jobs remained in the queue before, they simply stopped the queue but remained.

When do you get the error, exactly? This doesn't sound like an Acrobat
error. Are there any clues (like a title bar, something active in the
doc) what is putting out the message?

Cannot print to pdf with Acrobat 8

I have just gotten a new laptop and moved my CS2 over to it. Everything works fine except I cannot print to a pdf like I used to. I can save as a pdf, but when I print to Adobe pdf, the printer icon pops up in the system tray. When I click on it, the window displays the print job with status: Error-sent to printer. It's the same thing when I try to print a web page or a Word document to a pdf.
By the way, this version of CS2 came with Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 on seperate disks from the CS2 installation disks. Thanks in advance for the help.

And by the way, I did look at my startup folder. The following items are checked:
Adobe Acrobat Speed Launcher
Adobe Acrobat Sychronizer
Adobe Systems, Inc. Gamma Loader
AcroTray - Adobe Acrobat Distiller helper application

Problems with print to pdf with Acrobat Pro 9 and FireFox 8

***The page I am using for my base is: http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/2010/12/google-ebooks.html
***I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and FireFox 8 installed.
The problem with FireFox is when I select a part of a web page and try to print that selected text the first line gets chopped, if the text is small the first line might even be missing completely. Perhaps it is a margin issue but not sure how to modify this.
I know I am not being very clear but if anybody has any ideas or would like further info please let me know.
Thank you.

I suspect if you do the same process with a print to paper, you will get the same result. I got the same result with SeaMonkey, but IE8 printed the full font to a PDF. That would suggest it is not Acrobat, but the browser. As I said, suggests, so be careful about drawing your conclusions.

Can I "Print to PDF" with Adobe PDF Pack?

ONe of the reasons I purchased PDF pack is because it says that I can "print to PDF" which is said to mean that when I go to print something that one of my choices of printer besides my HP should be Adobe. I don't see anything in my drop down of printers that wasn't there before I purchased the PDF PACK. I have rebooted and everything and still nothing is there. Can you help?

Hi geolog12 and remedy111,
If you're on Windows, you can use the CreatePDF Desktop Printer to "print" to PDF from almost any application. You'll find a link to the installer on the Create PDF page when you're logged in to the PDF Pack account.
Here are the instructions for installing it: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/kb/using-pdfpack.html#main_adobePDF_desktop_printer

I can't print a PDF in Acrobat Pro anymore

Up until very recently, I had no problem printing a PDF on my Canon while in Acrobat Pro on my Mac Pro running 10.7.5. I'm running Acrobat Pro 11.0.07. This is just making me crazed.
In my Google research travels:
I've tried printing as an image. No luck.
I do not have any other printers set up in my system preferences.
I've tried removing any protection. I've tried sanitizing the document.
I am able to print if I open the PDF in Preview.
What the bleep has Adobe gone and done? Does anyone have any suggestions?

This just started happening to me today. Did you ever get this solved?

Problem with very sloooow printing of pdfs in Acrobat 7 Pro and 9 Pro

Some pdfs print with no problem but others are painfully slow. We find that some that are slow with Adobe 7 Pro print fine with Adobe 9 Pro, while others are slow with Adobe 9 Pro but print fine with Adobe 7 Pro. Still others are slow with both. A huge productivity problem for us. Any suggestions? Thanks.

when you get to the print screen it looks fine on the page, I've tried all the other options for scaling and when it prints it prints really tiny in the middle of the page. I have the paper set to letter. I did't see any options about shrinking the print.
