Creating a PDF via printing in Mac O.S.

Hello,
I am new to Mac so pardon my ignorance here.
I am using Adobe XI Professional on a Mac and would like to print an Adobe document I have filled-in/ created as a PDF file; specifically, a portion of the file. For instance, in Windows, I would select Print, select the Adobe Acrobat PDF printer then print the desired selection of pages within the document and my PDF would be created. Of course, I may "Save As..." a PDF file and the entire file will be saved as I created or modified it.
How does one save a portion of the PDF that you are working on: i.e. if the entire form is 100 pages and I only with to print (save) pages 3-10, how does one do that?
In my research, newer versions of Adobe for Mac do not offer a PDF printer as one is not installed on my Mac. Moreover, no printer is currently installed on my system. I wish to safe a portion of the PDF I am editing as a PDF, so I may print it at a later time.

Printing to PDF was never a good way to make a PDF from a collection of pages from a PDF. Use the EXTRACT PAGES function.

How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?

How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?
This is the title of an apple forum question, and it is a bug in both Safari 5.1.3 and under, and I find it to also occur in Firefox browser (at least 9.* 10.*, 11.0), running on Lion OS (10.7.2, 10.7.3). See:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3212301?start=0&tstart=0
Under the newer Mac OS mentioned, and Firefox 10.2, 11.0, 9.*, if I select:
File -> Print -> PDF -> Open PDF in Preview"
(and view / save the PDF in Preview, you will see none of the links in the original web page are active
or using
File -> Print -> PDF -> Save as PDF...
same problem. Try this using any Wikipedia page, for example.
When this problem was posed in Apple forums, by a user of the Safari browser, it was found to be a bug (since Aug 2011) fixed in a Safari browser build 5.1.4 circa Jan 2012. I tried the newer Safari browser and sure enough the problem went away (except that links embedded in the PDF no longer appeared as blue text - ARGH - but "hover over" with the cursor showed the link and clicking the link in Preview viewer activated the link in a browser window).
So I post this to the Mozilla community, please fix this 'cause I don't want to have to switch over to Safari browser every time I want to archive a PDF with active links!!!!
P.S. I did a spot-check and with the newer add-on Enjoy Reading 1.0.1 and FF11.0. When the Enjoy reading formatted version appears in the browser window, all URLs/links are preserved and highlighted in blue, but when I print that browser window as PDF, the links are dead (don't work) even though they appear in blue in the PDF.
So, what's going on, can the Safari fix be researched and applied to FF?
Also, on some forums, people are responding, Well, try installing Acrobat reader. Well, I don't want to, Preview reader has worked fine for me for years.

Thanks jscher2000.
RE: -- '''Generally speaking, PDF converters that work by intercepting a print job do not have access to the URLs behind links in the page.''' --
I cannot say I agree. I could email you a PDF clipping or two (generated from Safari on Mac OS, in its native capability with no add-ons) that shows you otherwise. When I used PC platforms I did have to install PDF converters (tried both free and expensive ones) that did what I describe.
I cannot try the add-on you mention, '''Print Pages to Pdf.''' in Firefox. It shows in my browser and Mac OS platform "Not available for your platform." So I am guessing it was written for the PC version of Firefox.
The Mac OS has had a native PDF-creation functionality for as many years as I have been using it; I used PC prior to that, Win3.1 through XP and NT. And on my PC, I bought (and at work, my employer bought $$$, I had to justify three levels up to management the ability to create PDFs on my work PC) some Adobe functionality to CREATE pdf's (readin's free and easy, makin' em's costly on the PC).
I've gone and dug through some of my (Mac) doc and clipping archives, and I find that stuff I created after about Dec 2008 or so seems to eliminate all link functionality. When viewed in the Apple native "Preview" application (sort of Apple's equivalent to Adobe Acrobat reader, ships with the OS): link tags are highlighted/tinted, clicking a link opens a (default) browser and takes you there; hover-over the tag text shows the actual link. (Of course, not all old links are still VALID or point to the desired source.)
I could, in Safari or FF browser window and with no add-ons or Adobe paid products whatsoever, use the native OS method to create PDF's from any application (word processor, spreadsheet, browser, etc) via the menu File -> Print -> Save as PDF menu and create a PDF that had active hyperlinks. In Apple OS Lion 10.7.3, I still can't when it uses this broken WebKit interface, links are "dead" as a doornail until a fix is distributed in WebKit for a future Lion release. It seems this functionality died at least as far back as Leopard OS 10.6.8, but don't quote me on that. Also, my version of Pages 2009 version 4.1(923) (sorta like Word) STILL creates a PDF document that preserves (1) text hyper-links within the document, and (2) web links (in the PDF) that open the browser. I just made a test document.
When all you can see in the PDF is the tag text, there is nothing to copy-paste to follow any link. Also, hypertext links are often used by authors to create links to other points in a document: now even *that* is broken in the PDF version of the documents I retrieve from the web and print from FireFox (Broken in Safari 5.1.3 and earlier but fixed in 5.1.4).
Try this on the PC, in your browser and print a news clipping as PDF, do the links in the PDF work? What products do this, and what don't? I would bet the machine with a full Adobe suite this will work flawlessly. (Why should a PC user have to pay hundreds of $ to create this functionality in what I thought was an open standard (PDF)? But that's talkin' religion, let's not start that.)
Some folks might say,
go online and find the original source doc in your browser. Or,
go and add those links manually using the Preview edit add-link capability (hunh? no thanks) , or
save each item worth saving as an HTML archive instead of a PDF (argh, creating a whole directory in the process, I might add, including ads). Or,
who needs PDFs, everything is online.
Or, buy some Adobe product.
I think they miss my point. This is a real strange dumbing-down of archival PDF documents, or at least a destruction of the ability to use PDF as an archive that retains its links and references.
C.F. the guy who has archives of scientific papers, and the old material all cross-references nicely but after date X there are no working links.

Can't create a PDF using "print" from Office 2010 w/ Acrobat 9.5.1 installed

I've been working on a lengthy Word document for the past three days, upgrading most of the inserted images and straightening out the formatting. Converting the entire 180-odd page document every time I made a few updates is a bit time-consuming. I also noticed that when I converted the entire document as a whole, the quality of some (not all) of the images in the document was significantly degraded. So I'd been using the Adobe Acrobat printer selection in Word to create single page pdf files, and then used the documents tab in Acrobat to insert the new page and delete the undesirable page.
This was working fine for two days. Then I was attempting to print a page, and didn't notice the "Creating a PDF Document" window, nor did I see the requested filename in the target folder. I attempted to print the page a second time, but nothing happened. After closing several open pages, I found the "Creating a PDF Document" pop-up. But the progress bar was stuck at about 20% and never moved. Eventually I closed the pop-up and attempted to print again. The pop-up reappeared but stuck at 20%. Rebooted and got the same. I rebooted again and went into Program and Features and ran repair on both Office 2010 and Acrobat. No change.
I'm operating Win 7 (64 bit) w/ SP1 on an AMD E-350 1.60Ghz processor w/ 8GB of ram. I'm using Office Professional Plus 2010 build 14.0.6112.5000 (32 bit). I've included the System Report below. The only trick I have left is to uninstall and reinstall, but hoping for a more specific solution. Any help would be appreciated.

As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

How to create a PDF that prints at actual size for all printers

I create printable educational products for teachers and homeschoolers. I need to be able to make some printable PDFs that have cards set to a specific dimension, say 3" x 3". When I create PDFs in InDesign and print them, the printer tends to shrink the PDF down. This happens even when I set the Page Scaling to None. But regardless of what my printer does, I would like to be able to create PDFs that print at actual size for anyone who purchases my products. How can this be done? Can I change the settings when I create the PDF? Do I need to includes special instructions with my products? Thanks so much for your help.

You can specify the printing process in the PDF for Acrobat and Reader, open the PDF in Acrobat > file properties (right mouse click on the page) and in the extended tab (the most right tab) you can set printing not to scale for that PDF as default setting.

Creating a PDF from printer

Can anyone tell my how I can print/create a pdf from my printer - I used to be able to & now I can't it doesn't give me the option anymore

Sorry - I have a printer / scanner. I used to be able to pull up a doc and then save it as a pdf with my printer options and now I think since I have a new printer it's not giving me the option. I have Adobe Reader XI & Adobe Photoshop Elements II. So I'm not sure why I'm having this probelm. When I go to print it gives me options of Adobe PDF (copy 1) & copy 2, but all it's trying to do is print it and not create it and then it comes up as an error. I'm sorry if this sounds confusing. Thanks for your help Bill.

How to create a pdf for print in print order ie p1&20, 2&19 etc

Hi,
This forum is amazing!
This may be a super obvious question but I can't work it out.
Is there a way to create a pdf that organizes the pages in the correct order for printing?
ie page1&20 together,
pages2 &19 together, etc.
Thanks
Nik

Everything that Peter has said
If you supply a file that is done like
20|1
2|19
18|3
16|4
etc.
The printers might charge you more for prepress time, as they'd have to separate the pages again to impose.
You don't know what machines they have, how they want to impose it or if they are going to perfect it or not. You don't know what size the macine is or the plate size or if they have only 2 x 2 colour machines.
I am with Peter. I would not trust a printers who requested work sent like I have illustrated. I would run as far away as possible from a company that requested this. A printing company that can't impose a 20 page document is crazy, shouldn't happen.
But as Peter has said, you can do it in Print Booklet and with various scripts.
But you can do it by setting a new document up. Then use File>Place to place page 20,1, 2,19 etc.
Use the Pages Panel and toggle the allow document and pages to shuffle (two items) to move pages to facing spreads.
Then just place your pages where necesary.

Acrobat Pro 8.0 CS3 - PDF file print in Mac OS 10.5.8 fixed!

Since upgrade from version 7.0, Acrobat Pro PDF 8.0 printer kept pausing and wouldn't print document.
I previously had same trouble with the Acrobat PDF 7.0 printer, but eventually got that to work with a command entered via terminal mode:
Adobe PDF print (OS 10.5.6) work-around using UNIX command entered via the Terminal;
In Terminal type the following if you are using Acrobat 7.x:
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf700
Plan A for today: Tried same thing for v. 8.0;
In Terminal type the following if you are using Acrobat 8.x:
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf800
This didn't work, so went to Plan B;
The other suggested approach is to remove various PDF printer library files and then follow with the Adobe "repair" function.
Remove following files and then "Repair" from Adobe menu;
/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/AdobePDFPDE800.plugin
/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF8.ppd
~/Library/Printers/Adobe PDF 8.0.app
/private/etc/cups/ppd/AdobePDF8.ppd
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf800
This didn't work before, so went to Plan C;
I looked through all discussion threads again, a few mentioned installing latest update to Acrobat Pro 8 ... I had already done that, or so I thought ... I went again to update menu command within Acrobat, and it plainly reported that "Adobe doesn't have any updates at this time" just as it had before.
I then compared my installed rev. version vs. the latest updates available for manual download, and found I was several behind.
I then manually installed each one in sequence and towards the end of the process, Acrobat opened a pop-up window telling me there were updates available, and asked if I wanted to install them. Go figure, one of the manual updates fixed the menu updater not working correctly. Not sure which one, but I eventually landed at version 8.3.1. I repeated "Plan B", and now the PDF printer is working again.
I guess with trial & error, even a blind squirrel will find a nut ...

Adobe PDF Printer creating corrupt PDFs

Greets,
One of my customers has a bit of an odd issue: He has Acrobat X Pro (10.1.2), Windows 7 64-bit, and when he creates a PDF via the Adobe PDF printer (Distiller?) using any software (even as simple as notepad) it opens correctly on his computer, but when sent to other people, they get the error "there was an error opening this document." I am able to open the PDF in muPDF and it opens and displays correctly, so I believe the problem is something to do with the file headers.
PDFs created via other means open correctly on all computers. (Word plugin, Acrobat itself, etc.)
I found another thread that said to uncheck "Rely on system fonts only", but this does not resolve the issue. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the Adobe PDF Printer, run a repair on Acrobat X, etc.
Anyone run into this/found an answer before?

Some more testing makes it seem Outook 2010 is the culpret.
Any PDF that's just text seems to be sent as a text attachment instead of binary, so I need to find a way to force Outlook 2010 to properly encode as binary. (My user will refuse to zip attachments as a solution.) There's a microsoft KB entry on it for 2000, 2003, and 2007, but it doesn't seem to work for 2010. Any ideas?

Acrobat pdf file printer

I recently upgraded from CS3 Web Premium to CS4 Design Premium on my laptop.
Now I have a netbook at home and want to have the feature of creating a PDF by printing from an application.
Am I allowed to remove CS3 from the laptop and install the CS3 Acrobat on the netbook? If so, how do I do this? If not, is there another way, apart from purchasing a second copy of Acrobat, to have the above feature on the netbook?
Thanks in advance.
Len.

If you read the license agreement (EULA), you should find that you are allowed 2 working copies for your license. They are not supposed to be used at the same time, but are for the type of use you have - desktop and notebook. Why not simply use CS4 on the notebook?

What happened to Create a PDF Online? Did the products change?

I need to create a PDF via my online subscription. I've logged in but can't find a link to my online service.

Hi paulnordgren,
Please let me know which link you are trying to use. There is change in interface.
You may visit this link and from the drop down choose your service and then login with Adobe Id and password.: Acrobat Pro, PDF Pack, Export PDF & More | Acrobat Document Solutions
Please let me know if that helps.
Regards,
Ajlan Huda.

Why can I not print multiple files to one sheet and create a PDF of that format via Print dialogue on Mac? Very important part of workflow!!!!

Try this if you use mac.
Create a multiple page PDF. Three pages.
Go to print. - Multiple pages per sheet so that you see all three pages on your sheet to be printed.
At this point, on a windows machine, you can print this as a PDF. On Mac, it only lets you save as PDF (Not with the format selected).
WHY has this functionality been removed from the Mac version of Acrobat XI??? Adobe?

Jon,
Unfortunately, Rave's response is quite incorrect on two major points.
The Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance was indeed part of the Macintosh version of Acrobat Pro until a few years ago.
However, it was NOT Adobe that killed the feature. Apple did! In one of the MacOS updates, Apple fully removed the capability that Adobe had to support this virtual printer. There was nothing that Adobe could do about this, regrettably. Adobe didn't cripple anything. Complain to Apple!
However, Adobe does provide a replacement for it that will yield similar results, but it is not available in Acrobat or Adobe Reader!!! In most applications' print dialogs (such as Word) - which printer you select is irrelevant, click on the PDF button and select the Save as Adobe PDF option. This will save your document as a PDF file with Adobe technology. But again, this is not available from with Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
However, you should note that the process that you previously followed and you would like to continue to use is commonly referred to as “refrying a PDF” and is strongly discouraged even where it continues to work under Windows. Why? The print function of Adobe applications including Acrobat and Reader is optimized for PostScript for printing, not for creation of PDF. Resultant PDF files have lost any transparency (it has been flattened) and all color management has been lost.
What you are really trying to do is to create a pre-imposed PDF file from an existing PDF file. Going through PostScript was and still is a very bad idea.
There are some third party plug-ins to Acrobat, such as Quite Imposing (Quite Software, <http://www.quite.com>) and PDF Snake (<http://www.pdfsnake.com>) as well as some “free” (you get what you pay for) solutions you can look up on the web that can do PDF imposition without ruining your PDF via PostScript.
Hopefully this can assist you.

I installed CS6 on Mac Pro (10.9 software version). I don't see the Adobe PDF printer in the printer/fax section. I can not figure how to create the PDF Printer.

I can not figure how to create a Adobe PDF Printer. Normally when you install the package ( CS6 Standard for Mac Pro) the installer creates the PDF printer automatically. In the System Preferences under the Printer/Fax I don't see the PDF printer. How do you create the PDF printer.
Thanks,
Melanie

did you install acrobat x and does it work as expected?
