Creating a Print icon in Acrobat 8

Is it possible to create a print icon using an image in a PDF'd document? I have Acrobat 8 Professional - Version 8.1.3
Any help you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks

You can use the button tool, add a message or graphic to the button, and select the action to be print. Do this using the form tools under the Tools>Advanced Editing button, not the form structure of Designer.

Can't create a printer icon

Hello,
I've a Powermac G3 266 Mhz and I want to install the HP laserjet 2550ln. I upgrade the system from os 8.0 to 9.2 to install the printer. Then I use the Printer Utility (in the folder Utilities) to create the printer icon: I select Printer LPR and select the PPD file and define the LPR printer options (IP address and queue name RAW), so when I click "verify", the system find the printer with its IP address. But when I click on "create" button and save it, the system don't create the desktop printer icon, though this process works for a imac which is in the same network.
Thanks for your help

That it works on one Mac and not another is a different question but you seem to be describing the OS X Printer Utility…
Are you actually using pure OS 9, or Classic 9 running over OS X, please?
Either way, can you try Desktop Printer Utility?

How Can I Create a Print Button on a PDF Using Acrobat Pro That Will Also Work on iOS?

I created a Print Button on a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat Pro on my Mac. The Print button works perfectly on different browsers on my Mac and on Windows (running under Parallels Desktop) as well.
When I open the document on my iPad the Print button doesn't even appear. I am guessing that this is a Flash issue but it may be more related to the fact the the action for the button is to access the Print menu item, which doesn't exist under iOS.
Is there any way to create a Print button using Acrobat Pro that will work on a Mac and Windows but also on iOS?

In order to initiate printing by clicking a button, the button has to have either an "execute menu item" type action or use the "print" JavaScript method. As you guessed, the former won't work since there are no menu items to execute, and the latter can only work if the particular PDF viewer you're using supports it. I'm not aware of any that do on iOS.
The button doesn't appear because you're probably opening it in the default PDF viewer, which doesn't support forms at all. If you were to open the form in Adobe Reader, you'd see the button but it wouldn't work.

Acrobat 9 Extended no Printer Icon under Printers in Windows 7 x64

I know there are some problems with Acrobat 9 and x64 editions of Windows. I installed for testing purpose Acrobat 9 Extended on Windows 7 x64 but there is no printer Icon listed under "Devices and Printers" in Control Panel.
I can make a PDF in Internet Explorer with the convert to PDF Icon but in Firefox and other programs there is no Adobe PDF listed under Printers.
How do I create manually a PDF icon under Printers?
this problem is only for Windows 7 x64 and under the 32bit editions everything work fine.
any suggestions.

Acrobat 9.0 for Window - Cannot create PDF Printer

I can't create a printer as non of the drivers in "C:\program Files\adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF" work. Re-installing does not work either. I tried installing older verions 7 & 8, both created Adobe PDF Printer... when installing version 9 it deletes the printer.
The message I get is: PDFMaker cannot locate the Adobe PDF Printer's printer driver. Please re-insall Adobe Acrobat 9.0
Anyone have any idea how to resolve this?

Do as I do on some items. Install a utility called TypeIt4Me the go to the announcement. Copy the link. choose add clipping give it a name put / or \ at the end so it you type the same words normally it don't trigger the typeIt4Me entry. then when you need to type the words (code used) and wait for TypeIt4Me enter it. the item highlighted in my attachment is this:
http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-leopard.php
which is the link to the InDesign article about snow leopard and creating Adobe quality PDF's

I downloaded the Acrobat 11 trial and I can open the product. During the install it deleted the existing print driver and did not install a new print driver so I CAN Not create and print pdf files.

What OS? Have you tried a repair and updates from the HELP menu? The updates may be the key.

How do i get a print icon in task bar

installed printer with manufactures disk but i do not get pre-print icon on task bar.

Do you own Acrobat? If so what version? If not what version of Word and PP do you have? Newer versions contain non-Adobe software for creating pdfs. If you do not own Acrobat that it would be best to check in a Microsoft forum on how to use Word to create pdfs.

Print icon on toolbar does not work

Recently bought new computer running W7
Use acrobat to print postage labels on royal mail site
Have latest version of acrobat and when screen comes up showing label to be printed the 'floating' toobar appears but clicking on print icon has no effect
I am forced to used 'CTRL P' and then 'enter'
Occasionaly CTRL P gives me another toolbar at the top of the window which also has a print icon, this does nothing either
Can anyone suggest what is going wrong, should I go back to an earlier acrobat that worked fine on my old XP PC ?
Thanks
Graham

Thank you
Yes you are correct using a PDF in browser to print post labels.
Running Windows 7, Internet explorer 9, Acrobat Reader Version 10.0
CTRL P brings up dialog box OK and I can print from there.
Cannot comment if problem happens outside of browser as it is home
computer and do not have need to view PDF's offline but will find thsi
out if important.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.
The word file has a trim size of 6” x 9”. It has been set to mirror margins with the inner, top and bottom margins set to 0.75”, the outer margin is set to 0.5” and the gutter to 0.14”.
It doesn’t matter if I create the PDF from inside Word, or open Acrobat Pro 11.0.9 and click Create From File, while the resulting document size is correct and the odd numbered pages reflect the correct margins, the even numbered pages do not. This results in some text near the outer margin, as well as the page numbers being omitted.
Does anyone know how to correct this?
I just noticed that some of the odd numbered pages' text is also cropped. Apparently Acrobat is refusing to set side margins to smaller than 1" (@ 3cm).

I'm away from my printer, so I'll try it later. Even so, the proposed test is irrelevant. I operate a small publishing house and am trying to upload certain novels to Ingram, the largest book distributor in the world. The specifications I've set are the specifications they've asked for. Since they've said that the results I'm obtaining are unacceptable, and since they demand submission in PDF form, this renders Acrobat Pro for Mac completely unacceptable for anyone in the publication industry. As far as I can tell, Adobe has a serious bug here that it needs to fix—and at once.

No Option for Printing Separations in Acrobat 11

I do not have the option to print separations from Acrobat Pro 11 on OSX Yosemite. I have installed the PPDs and they work in Illustrator and InDesign but do not work in Acrobat.
First, I am a designer at a screen printing shop and have been printing separations on a daily basis for 3 years. I understand how it works. I was working on a PC with CS 5.5. Typical workflow was to design in Illustrator, Print to PDF, open the PDF in Acrobat, save as EPS. EPS was the preferred method since I print the transparencies from Illustrator, and since Illustrator can only open one page of a PDF at a time, I saved the PDF as EPS so that ever spot color got it’s own EPS file. From there, I created a new AI file, put all EPS files on different art boards and printed.
Now I am on a Mac with Yosemite and CC 2014. I know the PDF workflow changed in Snow Leopard. You now have to print to a PostScript file and Distill, which then gives me the PDF i can open w Acrobat and save to EPS as usual.
But, I decided to really dig into Acrobat 11 since it has all the Ink Manager and Preflight features. My preferred workflow would be creation in AI, save a PDF, then use all of Acrobats features for the final check and separations. The Acrobat manual says on page 316:
“Print separations
1. Choose File > Print, and choose a printer.
2. Choose an option from the Comments and Forms menu.
3. Choose print range and page handling options.
4. Click Advanced.
5. If you created a custom printer settings file with the appropriate separation settings, choose it from the Settings menu at the top of the
Advanced Print Setup dialog box.
6. Select Output on the left, and choose an option from the Color menu:
Choose Separations if the PPD doesn’t support in-RIP separations.
12. Click PostScript Options on the left, and select settings as needed. Click OK to close the dialog box, and then click OK again to print the separations.”
The only option I have in the print dialog is my desktop printer.
I have installed the PPDs, which brings me to another problem.

the gives the link
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=141
which is the adobe.sit.hqx file that contains 5 files with no file extension. Per the “Read Me” instructions, I have placed the “Acrobat Distiller (no file extension)” file in the
Library/Printers: PPDs: Contents: Resources: folder.
It works with Illustrator, and is not really and issue.
-The file is a 17KB file with no extension that was last modified on 9/9/2001.
Following another page
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/save-as-pdf-options-not.html#main_InstallAcroPPD
it give the link
Acrobat 9 PPD
which is the ADPDF9.PPD file, a 29 KB PPD file last modified on 12/8/2014.
Just to test it out, I placed both files in the
Library/Printers: PPDs: Contents: Resources: folder. Both are selectable from Illustrator when printing a PostScript file and both seem to work. I see no real difference between them.
I also created the PPDs file in the Presets folder of InDesign and can get separations from there as well.
But, I do not have the PostScript or any other print option from the Acrobat print dialog except for my desktop printer.
SO,
1) Is there somewhere else I need to place the PPDs for Acrobat to see it? The manual states I should be able to print the separations from the Print Dialog but its not available.
2) What is the difference between the “Acrobat Distiller” file and the “ADPDF9.PPD” files? Different size, different dates, but no obvious difference in output.
3) I sometimes print halftone jobs through AccuRip. I have gotten pretty good at manual spot color transparency gradients within illustrator, where I create complex gradients using only a spot color and a gradient with 100% transparency on one end and 0% on the other. But if I have many colors in it, I have to print separations through PotsScript and then Distill it, which flattens all transparency on the separated file. The result is a separation with a placed image gradient with a clipping mask instead of a true vector gradient. I know it has to be flattened when it’s ripped anyway, but I would like for it to ONLY get flattened as it passed through the rip on its way to the transparency, and not during the Distiller separation which then is placed back in AI for printing. Is there any way to do this on a Mac which MUST be printed to PostScript and Distilled?
Thanks

“I’ll never give you a job to print.”
Lead with an insult, good start.
You know, I read your comment, and the link, right before I went to bed. I thought I would respond then, but thought I should sleep on it. Well I slept on it, and I’m actually MORE p***ed off today than last night. I will try to keep this as professional as possible…
“Such an outdated time consuming workflow !!!”
No S**t (so much for professional). Which is why it’s unfortunate that Apple forced this workflow on people like me.
I asked SPECIFICALLY about color SEPARATIONS in the title of the post and throughout the post. The link you provided did not provide an answer to this. It explained how terrible “refrying” a PDF can be. And what was the solution it gave?
“Use EPS and not PostScript!”
Strange. it seems that is the EXACT workflow I listed! To quote myself;
“Typical workflow was to design in Illustrator, Print to PDF, open the PDF in Acrobat, save as EPS”
That was on a PC, where Print to PDF is still an option. The design is made in Illustrator with Spot Colors, all overprints are set, because a human will be lining up the screens to print by hand, and you need about .5 - 1 point of “play” for when the screen moves so abutting colors will not have a gap of shirt color between them. I can then use all of the functionality of the AI print dialog box and print the SEPARATIONS to a PDF file, and the PDF is then split to separate EPS files for easier control.
Apple in it’s infinite wisdom has taken away this functionality. From AI, my 2 listed printers are my desktop printer and an Adobe PostScript file. Remember, I am SEPARATING the artwork to be printed on vellums that will be used to burn a screen. If I leave my desktop printer active, I can select “Setup”, where i am brought to the system print dialog box, where if I select “Adobe PDF” or “Save as PDF”, I get the message from Illustrator that “The Save as PDF option in the Printer dialog box are not supported”.
So, if I change the Printer to “Adobe Postscript file”, the “Setup” box is greyed out. If I simple “Save As” and choose PDF, I do not have the option to SEPARATE colors. Do you see the dilemma now? Apple remove the functionality I have on a PC, so my SEPARATIONS can not be saved directly to a PDF, but MUST me “printed” to a Post Script file, which then MUST be distilled to get a PDF of SEPARATIONS.
Which brings me back to the whole point of my post.
““Such an outdated time consuming workflow !!!”
Right, which is why I’m trying to avoid it. In reality, the entire process only involves 1 extra step over the PC workflow, and the Distill process literally takes a few seconds. But, I don’t want to Distill for all the reasons listed in the link you provided. And if i follow the advice of the link, saving to EPS, I DO NOT have the option of SEPARATIONS. Which is why I’m trying to save a PDF from AI, the use all the functionality of Acrobat Pro to SEPARATE my colors. Again, the manual to Acrobat says I can print my SEPARATIONS to a file, but I only have the option to print to my desktop printer from the Acrobat Print Dialog box, even though I have DO have other options in AI and InDesign.
So, great Adobe MVP, can you answer my original questions?
1- why do I not have the option to print to a file in Acrobat Pro?
2- What is the difference between the “Acrobat Distiller” file and the “ADPDF9.PPD” files? Different size, different dates, but no obvious difference in output. (Not what I want to use, but on OSX post 10.6, I don’t really have a choice it seems)
3- Is there any way to print to a SEPARATION file on a Mac without printing to PostScript and then being Distilled?
I see your skills are:
“PDF forms, PDF multimedia, eBooks in PDF or in ePub format.
I'm an InDesign Digital Publishing Suite specialist too. I am also a trainer and the webmaster of abracadabraPDF.net, the only French web site dedicated to PDF and Acrobat.”
Good for you. Have you EVER had to print separations for a t-shirt? Have you ever had to consider that a person will be physically pushing the ink through a screen, so you must consider the thickness of the ink, how that will interact with the mesh of the screen, which determines the LPI the halftones are printed at, which determines how fine your gradients should be? Because I do it everyday. So your whole “I’ll never give you a job” thing is especially infuriating, and pretty unprofessional.
So not only have you totally ignored all my questions, you insulted me and given me a link that ALSO answers none of my questions. I am also assuming, though I could be wrong, that you marked your answer as correct int he AcrobatUsers forums. Well guess what? Even with you MVP badge, you are NOT correct. At least not for what I’m asking.
If I ever need an eBook, PDF form, ePub or Multimedia PDF done, maybe I’ll use you. But, I would never hire you for color separations for t-shirt printing.

Export and Print icons missing from report viewer

I'm currently embedding crystal within a wicket application in which I'm making use of the getHtmlContent() method to retrieve the report's HTML. For whatever reason, I'm not able to get either the export or print icons (on the top left side of the viewer). Is this because I'm using the getHtmlContent() method or do I have something misconfigured somewhere? Setting the setHasExportButton(true) and setHasPrintButton(true) on the report viewer object has no effect.
If I run the same report using the generated JSP outside of my application (within tomcat), I see the export/print buttons. I notice the JSP makes use of the processHttpRequest() method. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Louis

Hi Louis
- The getHtmlContent() method handles the user's request to generate the HTML for the report and returns the HTML as a String.
Note: Either the getHtmlContent method or the processHttpRequest method can be used to handle the user's request to generate the HTML for the report, depending on how you write your JSP. If the viewer's content is displayed more than once, then the getHtmlContent method is more efficient, because the request is processed once and the resulting HTML string can be used multiple times. In this case, you must set the content type of the HTML, as recommended in the table. Additionally, using getHtmlContent sets setOwnPage to false and disables exporting and printing.
- The setOwnPage(true) and processHttpRequest() method should be used if you want the export and print button to appear in the report viewed through Crystal Report Viewer.
Following is the snippet of code which shows you how to use these 2 methods.
//Get the IReportSource object from sesion and pass it to the viewer
     IReportSource reportSource = (IReportSource)session.getAttribute("reportSource");
Create the viewer and render the report -
     //create the CrystalReportViewer object
     CrystalReportViewer oCrystalReportViewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
     //set the reportsource property of the viewer
     oCrystalReportViewer.setReportSource(reportSource);
     //set viewer attributes
     oCrystalReportViewer.setOwnPage(true);
     oCrystalReportViewer.setOwnForm(true);
     //set the CrystalReportViewer print mode
     //oCrystalReportViewer.setPrintMode(CrPrintMode.ACTIVEX);
     oCrystalReportViewer.setPrintMode(CrPrintMode.PDF);
     //process the report
     oCrystalReportViewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(), null);
Hope this helps you .
Thanks

Plugin created using C++ 6 and Acrobat 6 SDK Not Working in Windows

I have an Acrobat plugin compiled in Visual C++ 6 using Acrobat 6 SDK. The plugin works flawlessly in Acrobat versions 6 to 9 in Windows XP. While the plugin is able to add a menu iterm and tool bar icon in Windows 7, it causes Acrobat to hang everytime when activated in which event I have to close Acrobat. Since Visual C++ 6 is a 32 bit app, I have to believe that Acrobat 6 SDK is responsible for the behavior described herein in attempting to get the plugin to work in Windows 7. Any comments or suggestions regarding what Visual C++ version to use along with the appropriate Acrobat SDK to get the plugin to work in Windows 7 are appreciated. In doing so, I would also be interested in knowing what backward compatibility one may expect w/regard to previous versions of Acrobat in updating the plugin to work in Windows 7. As for the answer, correct me if I am wrong but I'm thinking Acrobat 9.

Adobe hasn't supported Acrobat 6, VC6 or the Acrobat 6 SDK for at least 5 years. You will need to move to the Acrobat 9 SDK if you wish support.
And Acrobat 9 and its SDK are fine with Windows 7.

Where are the Printing Presets in Acrobat located on Mac?

I have just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. All of my applications seem to be working fine, however my printing presets in Acrobat Pro X 10.1.13 are missing. Can I restore them from a Time Machine backup and if so where would they located? There seem to be a number of Library files related to Acrobat, but I'm not sure which ones contain the printing presets. I'm printing to an Epson Stylus Pro 3880. I don't want to have to re-create all the printing presets for that machine if I don't have to. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on how to restore my much needed presets.

Kelvin:
Did you save the presets and give them a unique name so they could be selected at a later time?
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
