Cannot print to PDF printer in Acrobat 9 Std

Hi, I've been able to print to PDF printer before. But lately it stopped working each time I output something to the PDF printer. It would not generate a PDF document. I even unistalled the entire Acrobat 9 Standard and re-install a clean copy. I still had the same problem. My config is as follows:
Adobe Acrobat Std 9.4.6
Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) with latest release and updates.
Thanks.

That was what I did by printing to PDF printer as a PDF file. I provided a file name and location where to save the file, it started to generate the PDF file but then it quitted with the following log message which I do not understand:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
82ypbdbl not found, using Courier.
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:

1
1
1.0
false
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
End of log message.
It looks like what there was some problem with the wrong font type not found so something. Thanks.

I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader with Mavericks!

I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader. I tried on both MacBook Pros we have here, both now with Mavericks. Error message says "Opening printer connection failed. Unable to open printer connection . . . " This is after it says sending data, printing, shows the percentages etc., but then at the end I get the error message above. I can print a PDF (same one) from Preview, but not from Acrobat! What's going on? Never had this issue before Mavericks . . . Please help.

Cannot print to PDF Printer in Windows server 2003 x64 (Adobe 9 STD)

Hi everyone,
I'm running into a very odd issue. We are using Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 in our environment. Recently, I install the x64 bit version of Citrix on top of Windows Server 2003 x64.
The problem that we are experience right now is that when user open a WORD or EXCEL document and try to print to PDF. The SAVE AS windows shows up to allow users to save, but nothing happens afterward. In another word, no PDF file is created.
However, if I ask the user to right click on the file (in windows explorer) and choose Convert to PDF, then the conversion go through.
Do you know a fix for this?

You might read the EULA and confirm the issue I have mentioned. I might not be correct in my estimate, but just gave a sounds like opinion. If it is a violation, then removing it is wise. Typically, Acrobat must be installed on each individual machine. There are multiple license options and server options, but you would need to contact Adobe for more information on those areas. Hope you can get them to talk to you in such a case.

Print Multiple Pdf's with Acrobat X pro

I would like to print multiple pdf's from folder but when i highlight like 7 pdf's then do right click there is no option to print. We had this option in acrobat 9 pro.
Also one of the user computer only ahve acrobat reader and that user able to print mulitple pdf's.
How can i fix this? pls help
Thanks

Having a similar issue with Acrobat Pro X, currently version 10.0.3 (I will be updating it tonight). If I right click a PDF and select print, Acrobat launches but doesn't open the document or print. It just opens to the initial screen (where you can open, create, etc). If I right click on a PDF and select Open, Acrobat launches and opens the document and from within Acrobat I can do a File -> Print and it works - so it's just a problem when trying to Print from a right-click.
I can right click on other doc types and it prints just fine, can select multiple files of the same type and they print as well if I right click -> Print. This is only happening with Acrobat so it's not an OS issue. I have the same problem on 2 boxes.

RE-printing a PDF book With Acrobat 9

I have this strange problem. When I print a pdf book as a pdf again (reason I am doing this if because it will give me a page size that will go with the entire book, and as a result, it will be easier to crop the book.), the file size becomes WAY bigger than the original size of the PDF.
This is the basic process when I do the the printing to pdf:
Select ALL the pages in the book.
Go To Print.
Under the Name List, select Adobe PDF.
Click Properties.
On the Layout tab, Click Advanced. Under Paper Size, Select Postscript Custom Paper Size.
Select the Unit (e.g. Millimeter).
Once done, go to the ADOBE PDF Setting tab, and then select Default Setting to Standard.
click all the OKs, until you are ready to print.
I have tried to to look for the answer on other forums, and googling, but no proper explanation or advice.
Thanks

Tried that. That doesnt solve the problem. File is still as big as
hell. Acrobat 8 works like a charm for this process. I even made
screenshot for the 'small size' preset and compared it to Acrobat 9.
Seems the same, so not sure why does it make files bigger. Dont get
started with file optimization because this book im dealing with here
has bad images to any downsizing is going to mess it up. Booya:-@

Print to PDF from within Acrobat Pro X

I keep reading threads here and there about users having the same issues that I'm having with Acrobat Pro X... I used to be able to print a portion of a PDF file to create another PDF... I see a lot of answers like SAVE AS and EXTRACTing pages... While this may work in some situations, I haven't found an easy way to achieve the results that I was getting from the "Print to PDF" option.
I work with files that have many pages of large CAD drawings... I am constantly finding the need to send PDF's of portions of the detailed drawings... It used to be as easy as zooming to the detail in question, select Print>Adobe PDF>Current Viewthen I could quickly mark up the detail and email it...
I've tried SAVE AS and EXTRACT, but I then have to DELETE the unwanted pages, then CROP the detail and save... this gets rather tedious when involved with multiple drawings, pages and details... There's got to be a better way...
Thanks

1. Correction - the deployed machines are running 10.1.7 (not 10.1.17)
2. The majority of our machines are running 32bit, I have not tested the 64bit installations to see if they exhibit the same problems.
3. I didn't expect that printing to an open pdf would be possible. The point was that in attempting to do so, no error message is generated and the pdf printer / IE hang. Closing the open pdf does not release them. Anyway, I suspect this is a separate issue and af far less importance to me.
I've had to be away from the office most of today so have not done much more testing. I'll update as soon as I have.

Keep getting an access denied window when trying to print to PDF with Adobe Acrobat X with any prgram/internet except for adobe programs

I am trying to print to PDF from Word, Revit, Firefox and all have given me a Access Denied window popup and would cancel the print. I have Adobe Acrobat X and Creative Design Suite 6.

So you are trying to print to the Adobe PDF printer? What is the full statement of the error (typically it indicates a folder or such does not allow access)? If you open Distiller, are there settings files available that you can view?
In the print menu, select print to file. Then open this file in Distiller. What happens with these two steps and do you get a PDF after the second step?

Cannot delete Adobe PDF printer

Tried to load Adobe XI, ended up with two printers on my device list (Adobe PDF & Adobe PDF (copy 1)). Tried to delete both, the copy went away but the other just comes back every time I reopen the Devices and Printers. I uninstalled Adobe XI and this didn't help.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
Firstly, could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
Also, I need to inform you that Acrobat 8 has come to an end of life and Adobe no more provides technical support for older versions.
You might need to refer the KB doc link mentioned below for PDF printer missing issue using Acrobat 8:
Error "Warning 20225..."| PDF printer missing | Acrobat 8.0, Acrobat 3D | Windows
Then, let me know when you get the message that serial number does not exist. When you are running an upgrade, you need to provide serial number twice.
Firstly, it asks for serial number of the upgrade version and secondly it asks for serial number of the previous version.
Please check for the same and then let me know.
Regards,
Anubha

Cannot create any PDF docs with Acrobat Pro 7.0

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.0 running on Microsoft XP. All of a sudden, I cannot
convert any documents into PDFs. I have tried converting Microsoft Word
docs and those from other applications. It is important to stress that I
have managed to do this many times in the past, but for some reason Acrobat
has suffenly stopped doing this. I have tried 'printing' to PDF and
'converting' to PDF. Each time I get the following error message on a
'Notepad':
"%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: setdistillerparams; ErrorInfo:
CalCMYKProfile U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
Error accessing color profile: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%"
I have clicked on 'Detect & Repair' under the 'Help' menu button in Adobe
Acrobat and this supposedly did some form of reinstalling/fixing (without
the need for a CD to be inserted into the computer) and asked me to turn off
my computer & then turn it back on.
Having done this, I still cannot get docs to convert to PDF.
I have not added any particular hardware or software to my computer in
recent times. Apart from the PDF conversion, everything else in Adobe
Acrobat Pro seems to run fine. I can read all documents etc.
Can you help me?
Thanks,
Alan

OK, I've got everything to work - so long as I 'Print' docs to PDF rather than clicking on the PDF conversion icons (if I click on these icons, I just get an error).
But if I print to PDF, everything now works - I've even managed to solve the Word problem - I think it was a faulty Word doc for some reason. I found a useful document which told me how to set up all the settings for Acrobat Distiller (http://mydocs.epri.com/docs/CorporateDocuments/WorkingWithEPRI/CreatingAcrobatPDFs.pdf).
If you know how to make the PDF conversion icons work (it must be something simple) that'll save me having to print each time, it would be great, but I can survive without this.

I have seen this issue before on other systems in the company. Our real issues have always involved Acrobat pro somehome. Even upon the initial installation Acrobat cause some problems with the activation of the Design Suite.
This is a Vista system and CS3. Frankly our installtion issues were so tough here that ther has been littel desire to upgrade to the newer versions.
We love the product but if there is an issue it is very difficult to resolve. You willingness to help is greatly appreciated.
Yesterday I could not save to the PDF format in Illustrator. I cleared the prefs file and that cleared up but now I cannot print to the PDF Printer...from any program or any file.

Printing To PDF Printer Driver from within a program

Does the Adobe PDF Printer Driver allow parameters for file name and no display of resulting PDF. I want to print to it and create a specifically named file without being asked for the filename and with a 'preview' display. If I cannot do this, what do I need? Is there an SDK, and if so, is there a run time that can be distributed without royalty along with apps developed using the SDK. I generally use GDPicture control for this but wondered if I could do it with Acrobat.

Please ask in the Acrobat SDK forum.

Printing to PDF Printer in batch mode is slow!

I work for a company that is evaluating Adobe Acrobat XI Pro to use as a batch PDF printer/creator. The problem is that with our evaluation trail version when we drop more than 30 print jobs to the printer it takes 12 to 15 seconds to process each one. An old version of PDF Create 4 we have on our old server creates them much faster! Is there a limitation on the trail version or a setting I need to check in order to speed this up?
We are dropping the documents to the printer via another program. The printer is then set up to create the PDF to a named folder using the existing named document for its name.

You mentioned that you are using a program to drop the documents to printer. Which is this program?
Also, please let us know if this program is collecting documents over network and then dropping those to PDF Printer on Win 2008 Server?

Have Adobe Pro 8.0 Can't Print to PDF Printer

Am getting error Message "out of paper" instead of dialog window that should ask for file name.

Bill,
First, let me thank you for sending this email!
I tried “printing to file” from the Adobe PDF printer using AutoCAD (where I was first having the problem), and it did not store a file in any location on the laptop. The popup window did pop up and ask where I wanted to store the file, but after typing in a name and hitting the button, it just went away. This was the second test, the first test locked up the program as I discovered that the Adobe PDF printer was set to spool, then print, and it would never stop spooling, 10 minutes of waiting had me cancel out on the printing. I then selected ‘print directly to printer’. With this change, after the fill in the name of the file window, it just went poof. No file saved.
I am running Win 7 pro with trend micro security (came on the laptop). In addition, I cannot use the Adobe PDF printer with any other software either. However, if I open Adobe directly, then go to the command ‘create pdf from file’, select the file (even if it is autoCAD) it will “make” the pdf document. So there is a work around.
One additional thing I can say is that, with this laptop, in the past, I was able to use the Adobe pdf printer as intended and it worked well.
I believe that my issues started when I clicked on the ‘pdf-Xchange’ (tracker software) printer by accident one day when I meant to select the Adobe PDF printer, I had installed this software a long time ago on another Laptop and even through I never “installed” it on this laptop, it came over with copying the files from the old laptop to the new one, somehow, I do not know how, it got set up as a printer on this new machine!!!
I have sense uninstalled it, and removed all it’s folders and files and run CCcleaner to get any leftover .dlls that it might have left. Since then I have done the uninstall on Adobe and reinstall and also deleted the Adobe PDF printer and then run the ‘repair’ function from Adobe 8.0 to reinstall the printer. Still does the same thing. The original error message from the printer info window was that the Adobe PDF printer was “out of paper”, how can a virtual printer ever run out of paper?

File printed to pdf printer and physical printer

hallo,
as the title says, my application prints files and they are printed to a pdf file and sent by an email or printed by a physically printer letter and sent as letter to the customer
my application is a nightly batchjob in vb6 which has worked really well for some months but now the customer said, that some of the files have been printed to a pdf and sent by an email and also printed by a physicaly printer so i checked the logfiles and realized that there is only one printing mentiond of the files which have been printed twice (pdf and physically) so now i'm wondering
the process looks like this:
i read the data from the database, and if the customer has an email address i change the default printer to the adobe pdf printer, then i set value in the registry which is a parameter for the pdf printer, what the name of the file shall be after this i reset the default printer to the physically one
in the logfile aren't any exceptions so the set of the default printer had to work, and also the set of the parameter for the pdf printer, and the files also had been sent by mail so i'm wondering if it's possible that windows or adobe has also sent the file to the physically printer, the OS is windows 2003 server
hope you can help me
if anything is fuzzy im ready to provide more informations
thanks a lot
greetings peter

Printing to PDF printer problem

Since April I have been having a problem printing internet documents to a pdf file. When I print bank transaction documents to a PDF printer the form structure prints correctly but the data that goes in the form is all jumbled up in unreadable characters. I just tried to print a Govenment census confirmation to a PDF file using the PDF Printer in Acrobat 9 and it acted like the Bank printing problem. All other printing of PDF documents works fine. I have the latest updates all installed and the problem still is there. This problem did not exist in the first half of March. Any suggestions?

Hi, I am having the same problem on multiple computers starting this spring as you reported. I just bought a new win 7 64-bit (happens on 32 bit too) and installed Adobe 9 Pro. First time I used it to print from the web on IE 9 the garbage printing happened. I've started to use other methods of creating PDFs because the Adope PDF printer is too unreliable, sometimes it works, more often it does not. The problem also occurs when printing a PDF of a word document. Fortunately, I can use Word to save in PDF format which does work.
Very Very Aggravating !!
