Create Adobe PDF Online Printer - Windows 7

Has anyone successfully created a printer on Windows 7? I can't get it to work and I can't find instructions for Windows 7 and, so far, I'm not even sure the Help Ticket support person even understands what I'm asking.

I guess nevermind.

Create Adobe PDF Online Not working?

I'm on forever hold with Customer SErvice - started a document yesterday MORNING that said it would start in 9 hours 28 minutes and it STILL says that 24 hours later - any ideas?????

I actually use Java's java.awt.font to create font of CIDFont
type2(TrueType) which is embeded in the PDF file. It seems that
type of English fonts are fine. But for the Chinese fonts, I met
the problem with the font files created by Acrobat 7 from a
Word's .doc file. No such problem ever happened with the PDF files
exported from InDesign. So, I guess there is some difference with
the font files generated by Acrobat and InDesign.
More details of the problem: There is no complain to create the
font. But the machine crashed when create the shape of glyphs.
I am puzzled...

Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document. I have CS3

Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document. I have CS3 Web Premium with Acrobat Professional 8. I use it fine on my old computer with Windows XP. I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7. I installed all my Adobe programs, and I think they are working. When I look at Adobe PDF in the device section of the Control Panel it looks okay. But when I try to print a Word, Photoshop, or HTML page in PDF, nothing happens. I have tried printing both as File>print and using the PDF tab on the top menu bar. I look at the device in the control panel and it has the yellow error warning symbol and suggests trying to troubleshoot. I look at the document list and it says status "error". When I try troubleshooting Windows suggests doing some Home Sharing and also suggests canceling the document I'm trying to print. I tried re-installing just Acrobat 8 from CS3 (and have to use Photoshop CS4 disk for shared documents I guess). I ran into a can't locate adobepdf_dll file, so did a web search on this issue and found a suggestion that I find and use the adobepdf_dll_64 file and may have to (I did have to) remove the "_64" for it to work. I think I successfully reinstalled using that dll file- no errors came up anyway. But still when I try printing/converting a photoshop, webpage, or word document into pdf, the pdf device in control panel still gives the error status on the document and gives the same troubleshooting advice. Help?

I just compared the properties between the two computers. On the old computer it has the port as "My Documents/*.pdf". On my new computer it lists the port as "LPT1". I tried changing the port to "Print as File", but when I try printing a photoshop picture as pdf, I get a "Access Denied". I then tried to create a new port on the device control panel. I tried to create a local port "My Documents/*.pdf" port but was denied. I ten tried to create a new port type and control panel asked for an INF file. I wonder if this is where my problem lies. Thoughts?

Printing Issue - 'Sticking' at Point of 'Creating Adobe PDF'

Installed XI Pro and have a few problems. First is....
Adobe (for lack of better description) 'sticks' at the point of Creating Adobe PDF. The printing never progresses beyond the 'Creating' dialog box (the computer doesn't lock).
The image below might help. Have crossed this in Excel and Word but probably an issues in other software.
Thoughts??

Did I miss the point or what? Anyway it is a bit strange to
compare
FreeHand with CS package.
There are still many things that are difficult to do with
multiple
programs that could be done just in FreeHand. Although
FreeHand has quite
poor body text controls (there are layout program like
options but they do
not really work) making for example a book jacket was more
simple and
faster. This is simply because area text in Illustrator is
very slow and
buggy as hell. Even the amount of text in the backcover can
take a lot of
time to adjust. Not to mention that Illustrator reflows text
in random
paragraps while making changes in just one.
I could use InDesign and import all the images and graphic
but that would
be even slower.
Like said I use Illustrator a lot and kinda like it
sometimes, but the
bugs are driving me nuts. Some of the bugs, still not fixed,
appeared in
version 10!!!!

How to Permanently Hide the "Creating Adobe PDF" Dialog

When the default printer is set to be the "Adobe PDF" printer and an application creates a print image, the distiller (I presume) displays a dialog entitled "Creating Adobe PDF", with a "Hide" button.
How does one make the default to NOT show this dialog?
Thank you in advance.
Windows 7/Acrobat X Pro

This removes the "Creating PDF" box, but also seems to remove my ability to rename the documents. I need everything to perform exactly the same (including the rename and save to a specific directory), but I don't need Acrobat telling me it's creating a document as "Print to PDF" already tells me that. Thanks, though!

"Creating Adobe PDF" task will not close H E L P

"Creating Adobe PDF" task will not close after I print a .pdf document. I am running Windows XP Professional with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional v 8.1.2. It doesn't matter what application I print from, this window stays open in the background. I have to minimize the window in the windows task bar, then restore the window, then click hide on the window to get it to close.
Please help me, I have searched for a solution, but nothing seems to be out there. I can't be the only one having this problem.

Has anyone had any luck resolving this issue? I had the problem for a long time and then it went away, I believe after I reinstalled Adobe because the updater had stopped working. Recently the issue began again, primarily with printing to PDF from Explorer. It seemed to start after a recent Microsoft update, so I am wondering if that was the culprit, though even if it is I have no idea how to correct it. When I can catch the "hide" button on the dialogue when it first launches the "creating adobe pdf" task, it sometimes closes itself. I have also noticed that it seems to re-appear on every OTHER print to PDF. I am running Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, Version 8.2.5 on Windows XP Professional and Internet Explorer 7. Anyone? Help?

Create Adobe PDF from Word DOCX Issue

Good Morning All,
We have stumbled across an apparently well-known issue, which annoyingly for all concerned does not seem to have a satisfying answer. One rather long discussion is here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4237240. There is at least one other which also alludes to the issue basically involving Office 2010 SP1 and having the Word user template location re-directed to a network drive. None of the suggested things have worked, and we do not want to even try the user template location on a local drive, we want a fix for what is really a fairly standard scenario.
I think we have found something new to add to the mix, this is noted later in the post. For completeness I have also included a condensed version of events/stuff we have tried, to help anybody who reads this and may have an answer.
Our scenario is as follows:
We recently performed a Microsoft Office 2007 to Office 2010 SP1 upgrade. A week or so in advance of this we upgraded all those folks that had Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to X, (v10.0.0).
Within a couple of days of the Office upgrade we had reports of an issue whereby users could not convert Word documents to PDF. Window title: Create Adobe PDF, message: Unable to open the document <path to file>. Please check to see if you have permission for the above file. (The user always does have rights to the location.)
All machines are 32bit Windows 7 and well capable of running this OS and these apps.
Machine patching is maintained by SCCM.
Deployment of Acrobat and Office was done by SCCM.
The issue broken down:
Conversion of Word documents to PDF fails in these scenarios:
Windows Explorer – right click of single file and ‘Convert to PDF’.
Windows Explorer – right click of multiple files and batch conversion option.
Outlook – Convert to PDF and e-mail. (Error message is different, apologies I have no note of this to hand.)
It should be noted that conversion of any other file format works, plus conversion of Word documents consistently works inside the Word interface using Adobe toolbar.
Not consistently a user based issue:
It usually * fails for our main test user on her PC. Although sometimes a single file or batch file conversion will work. However the option in Outlook never works. (* Every so often the single file and batch conversion’s do work for the test user, there is no obvious reason as we have not applied any fixes that worked!)
Everything works fine for the test user on my PC and another PC in her department.
Not consistently a machine based issue.
The process always works for me on my machine, but fails most of the time when I use the test users PC.
The process always works for a test account cloned from the test user’s actual account.
Giving local admin rights to the test user did not help.
Summary of things tried:
Various forum suggestions have not worked:
Deleting/renaming normal.dotm worked initially but the problem returned within a couple of days.
Registering some Adobe DLL's: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll & C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\PDFMaker\Common\AdobePDFMakerX.dll.
The Word Add-in tool bar is enabled.
The users name and intials are present in Word options.
There are no rogue temp files in %temp% or C:\users\<user>\appdata\roaming\microsoft\word.
Stuff we have tried independently:
Repair Office install then repair Adobe install.
Patching Acrobat to 10.1.1 & 10.1.4.
Remove and re-install of Acrobat, including patch.
Remove and re-install of Acrobat Pro and Reader, (using the official Adobe labs removal tool), including patch. (When products were removed Office was repaired. Just Acrobat Pro X was installed after, no Reader.)
During this work I noticed two files in %temp% which get updated when file conversion is attempted: amt.log and swtag.log. After Googling these files I found there may be some interesting stuff in amt.log when the process fails. Unfortunately this has not been the case. There is no obvious log entry difference between a successful conversion and a failure.
However at this time I started to notice files in %temp% in the following format: cv*.tmp.cvr. Google revealed these to be Office crash dump files. Unfortunately these files are always zero bytes long and literally contain nothing to analyse!
So after clearing out all these .cvr files I ran Task Manager, and had %temp% open in a folder. I then tried the conversion process:
Firstly it fails!
Secondly a zero byte .cvr file is created and usually disappears right away.
Thirdly winword.exe appears and disappears quickly in Task Manager.
You can repeat this to your heart’s content by hitting the retry button!
The only thing I can add about my PC is that I never had Acrobat until I tried installing it to re-create the issue. So it may be that my PC having no legacy Adobe install issues, (I only had Reader previously), was less prone to whatever is the root of this issue? The affected machines in the field have at least been upgraded from v9.
As you can tell we have found it very hard to pin the issue down. The circumstances for a failure are not consistently repeatable. I do think the key thing we have noticed though is the obvious crashing of winword.exe when this process fails. As evidenced by the creation of the cv*.tmp.cvr files and watching the process appear and disappear in Task Manager. Nothing I have read elsewhere notes this, and it seems to me that winword.exe does not like being called in this way. This is surely very key to the issue?

I should also add that there are no error messages appearing on screen when we have a failure, and nothing is logged in any Windows event log.
I have done lots more searching since first reporting this. Lots of people have this issue going back to last year at least with Office 2010 SP1 Acrobat X. No answers or fixes out there apparently despite being promised to some people who have done a bug report.
This is really not good enough. I have reported our scenario as a bug report earlier today. Hopefully I will get a proper fix, then I will gladly pass it on.

No Create Adobe PDF button in Microsoft Word 2000

Hi,
I recently purchased and installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 and am working my way through Adobe Acrobat Classroom in a Book. I've learned there should be a "Create Adobe PDF" button in Microsoft Word (and Excel, etc.), but there are none in mine. If I use the Adobe PDF printer, an untagged PDF will result.
I'm using Microsoft Word 2000; is that version too old to support the addition of a Create Adobe PDF button within the application? I've also recently installed Omnipage and buttons for that application installed in Word with no problems.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Adobe Pdf Converter Print Driver Will not install

Acrobat V9.0
Vista Utimate Service Pack 1
I have not been able to print to the PDF Printer. I get the following error when I select the PDF printer.
"The 'Adobe PDF Converter' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
When I say yes and select version 8.5.0.0 printer since it is the latest version. I get a Add Printer Driver Wizard window that says. "Unable to install adobe pdf converter, Type 3 - User Mode, x86 driver. Access is denied.
I went through all the recommended steps on the web site listed below with no success.
Thanks in advance for you help.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Solution 1: Use a supported installation.
The following are unsupported installations, and the supported solutions:
If you install Acrobat (Professional or Standard) on a 64-bit operating system, then you may
see this error. Please update Acrobat to version 8.1 or later. You can update from within
Acrobat via the help pull-down menu, or download the updater from the following location:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.
If you install Acrobat to a shared network disk instead of a local hard disk, then the Adobe PDF
printer is not installed. Install Acrobat on a local hard disk.

I am having similar problems. After years of successful use, about a year ago, my printer (Epson stylus Photo R300) stopped working. After much investigation, it appears my computer no longer recognizes my printer. I've followed resets, safe boots, uninstalls, reinstalls, etc. This happened so long ago, I don't recall what I was doing when it happened. I'm figuring it happened shortly after a Software Update... So far none of the fixes recommended to me have solved the problem. I've been using Epson customer support, but they've stopped responding. None of their suggestions have seemed to work either.

I paid 9.95 because I thought it would allow me to create a pdf online. What did I pay for if not that?

I am very unhappy right now because I chose "create online PDF" from my ADOBE READER software on my computer and it took me to a place where I could pay. It said $9.95 only for me to pay and still can't create a PDF online.

Did you sign in with the Adobe ID you used for the subscription?
And yes, you should really tell us what you paid for - we have no way of knowing that.

I would appreciate some help with the Create Adobe PDF function..
When i right click a MS Word file and then choose "Convert to Adobe PDF" i get an error saying:

Does anyone have any clues on how to get this fixed?
ANY help appreciated, tanks!!
