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.

  • What is going on?  I can't access my iPhoto files from any other programs.  It just says "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list", but that doesn't work.  What changed?

    All of a sudden I can't access my iPhoto files from any other programs (ie Photoshop, facebook etc.).  It just gives me this message below.  What the **** changed?  This wasn't happening yesterday.

    1 - close iPhoto.
    2 - go to your Pictures folder and open the iPhoto Library package as shown below:
    3 - locate a file named AlbumData.xml and move it to the Desktop.
    4 - launch iPhoto.
    5 - relaunch the other programs and try the media browser again.

  • CANNOT Print with Adobe Acrobat 9

    I am running Microsoft Vista with Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard.
    When trying to print to a printer I get an error message that I need to install/select a printer.
    I can print from any other application. Just now Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard.
    I installed the free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader X and can print fine. I would prefer not to keep both applications on my computer.
    I use Adobe Acrobat 9 to modify PDF documents and would prefer not to have to switch to the free reader just to print the documents.
    I appreciate anyone's suggestions.
    I have tried rebooting my computer, updating my printer files, turning the printer on and off and then on again.
    I seems that for some reason Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard does not recognize my printer - an HP Office Jet Pro 8500. All other applications work fine with it.

    Are you on Acrobat 9.4.2? If so, then please refer to the below mentioned KB Article.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/891/cpsid_89178.html (Solution 1 listed on the page)
    Adobe has released an update to Acrobat 9.4.2 for the  Print Issue in the form of an EXE. I have applied the fix on my system, and  it seems to have fixed the printing problem.
    You can try downloading and applying the EXE and see if it helps fix your problem.

  • New problem. Can't print to Adobe Acrobat 9 from a Firefox page. Both programs hang up. No problem with other browsers

    Using Windows 7. 64 bit

    Yes, the location for the Adope PDF printer had garbage in it. I fixed that. That has now fixed the problem.
    However, Art's reply gave me an idea. I am using FrameMaker 8.0p277 (the version that came with Tech Comm Suite). Also, Acrobat 8 3D came with it.
    Since then, however, I have installed Acrobat 9 Pro (which also provided Distiller 9).
    Could it be that FrameMaker is trying to call Distiller 8, which no longer exists on my computer)?
    Answering prev questions:
    "So if you uncheck Print To File so the distiller generates the PS file and distills it automatically, nothing happens, right? It just sits there?
    and
    Have you tried selecting a different Job Option, like Standard, or High Quality?"
    Yes, if I uncheck Print to File, nothing happens and no .ps or .pdf is created.
    On the properties of my Adobe PDF printer
    There are actually four entries. It does not seem to matter which one I choose.
    I'm working now on seeing if I can get Acrobat re-installed.

  • When I go to file then print - nothing happens. I can print from email (yahoo) and I can print from any other program on my computer but not from Firefox. Why?

    I cannot get the print menu to work in Firefox. I have no trouble printing from anywhere else on my computer. I go to file and the click on either print or print preview and nothing happens - no window of even an error message appear.

    Hi MollyPhloot07,
    I'm glad you found the coupons.com app and you might also want to take a look at the GroceryIQ app from the same company.  Please note that at this time, printing is only support from iPad to HP wireless inkjet printer.  That's most likely the reason why your Canon isn't displaying when attempting to print.  The other way to go might be emailing the coupons you want to your email address, then open that email and print from a conventional desktop or laptop computer.
    Hope this helps!

  • Cannot Print with Adobe XI

    Up until yesterday, I had no problems printing with adobe to pdf from any application on my system at work.
    Now, using crystal reports, I can no longer print to PDF to a folder.  First, I was shown a message that the file could not print and was deleted.  I reinstalled and then began getting throught the point of defining a location as to where the pdf was to be saved.  When I print it there, the PDF never displays and does not end up in the specified folder (or anywhere for that matter)
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and even tried changing printer ports to no avail.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Hi pkrs1138,
    Kindly post this query in Acrobat forum:Acrobat

  • How to uninstall trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro from a mac?

    I installed a trial version Adobe Acrobat Pro from the Creative Cloud list on my Mac Pro 10.7.5. First, although I was supposed to have a 30 day free trial, it expired immediately. Worse, every time I try to open my former Adober Acrobat, I get prompted to buy a yearly subscription to Acrobat pro and cannot use my older version. I have tried various ways to uninstall the Acrobat Pro version and to get back to normal, with no success. Anyone out there to help or must I spend money on an international call to ask Adobe what to do? It seems that they have shut down their "chat" service. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. Robert

    This is not a Technical Communications Suite product. If this is AE CS4 you can try the CS4 Clean Script:

    If that fails, try the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool.
    If that fails try the AE forum.

  • Why I cannot open my Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

    Why I cannot open my Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

    Have no clue. You have given us no information. What OS, what happens when you try to open Acrobat X? Are you trying to open from the Acrobat icon or by double clicking on a PDF? Add screen shots if needed to show the results, particularly any error messages.

  • Can't print via Adobe acrobat reader!

    I can not print via Adobe Acrobat reader even though all other application work well with the printer and there is no hardware or connection problem involved.
    the printer is:  HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fn Color Multifunction Printer
    The same thing happened to my outlook but I fixed it by reinstalling the printer software, 
    I think reinstallation is not the way of fixing it, does anyone have the same problem or can help me?

    Hello
    I understand you can print from all other programs except Adobe acrobat reader.
    I have included a document to troubleshoot this issue for not being able to print pdfs.
    Check your version and select the appropriate one to proceed.

  • How do I remove top and bottom margins when printing using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.

    How do I remove top and bottom margins when printing using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard. (I selected 'Fit to scale' and there's a huge gap on the top and bottom).

    Those margins are usually reported from the printer settings to Acrobat. Meansif you have, for example, an inkjet printer and that printer can not print seamlessly, then there will be a minimum margin.
    Check your printer's page settings.
