Creating an Adobe .pdf file without using the Adobe printer

Is it possible to create a .pdf file by using Acrobat or Microsoft Word or any other program without using a printer driver? So far, when I remove the Adobe printer, I cannot create a .pdf file, as it is looking for the printer and printer driver. Is it even possible to create a .pdf without using, or having, a PDF printer of any sort? Any help on this issue would be most helpful. Thanks.

I was trying to find a way to create PDFs without using the Adobe printer, or any PDF printer. I posed this question to see if there was a way to create a PDF without the aid of a printer or not. I mean, I know how to reinstall the Adobe printer, since I had to to see if there was another way to go about creating without using the printer. I am just curious if there is a way to create a PDF file without the aid of the Adobe printer or other PDF printers.

  • I want to use preview to view pdf files without trashing the adobe plug-ins?

    Some of the government web sites that I need to visit regularly require me to use firefox and adobe for opening and viewing files. I would like to still be able to use Safari and Preview for opening, viewing and printing files from other web sites. Before the latest adobe update this was no problem, but now Adobe seems to have taken control over the viewing and printing settings so that even though I try printing from a Safari viewer window I get an Adobe message that this is not supported. I tried to search for an answer as I suppose I am not the only one having this problem after the most recent Adobe update. Thanks for your great help everyone. /Christian

  • Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?

    Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?
    3D communication is good but sometime we don't want the receiver to be able to study every components in model.
    or any way to make the receiver cannot use model tree and measurement tool ????
    Thank you very much

    You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
    - start Acrobat 3D
    - drag & drop a CAD file
    - click on 3D Annot to activate
    - right-click on 3D
    - select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'
    - 3D Toolkit launches
    - click in 'Scene Tree' panel
    - right-click on top assembly name
    - select 'Tools->Collapse Hierarchy'
    - select 'File->Save'
    - select 'File->Exit'

  • How can I publish an App to a selceted group of people without using the Adobe Contetn Viewer?

    How can I publish an App to a selected group of people ( not via App Store) without using the Adobe Content Viewer?
    The App was developed with InDesign 6.0

    You'd have to sign up for an Apple Developer account and then gather all the UDID's (Apple limits this to only 100 devices) that you want your app to be installed on. Create your mobile provisioning profiles to include these ID's and then you could use TestFlight to push out your app and monitor who has installed it. Of course Testflight is intended for monitoring your apps performance but I'm sure you can get away with it if you use it to push you app. One thing to keep in mind is the mobile provisoning profiles are only valid for 1 year. Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to create a DVD in iDVD without using the themes they provide?

    Is it possible to create a DVD in iDVD without using the themes they provide?

    Hi
    No Menu DVD
    from. Mishmunken
    How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
    1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
    Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the drop-zone (text needs to be black as well).
    Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
    Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
    Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned. If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

  • Saving a Text data to a PDF file without using print option

    Hi,
    I want to save a Text to a PDF file. I want to assign the path of the PDF file as a default one.
    If I use Print options, then it ask for the file path at the run time.
    Is there any method to save to a PDF file without using print option in Labview 8.2.

    This question comes up a lot. Did you try searching? It depends on the PDF printer driver that you're using. See here, here, here, ...

  • Firefox 33 doesn't display a pdf file when using the response object

    Firefox 33.0.2 does not display pdf files when using the code below from an asp.net program, which works for previous versions of Firefox, and also works with IE. I'm using the built-in pdf viewer. All of my plugins are disabled.
    Dim strPDF As String

    Thanks cor-el. You pointed me in the right direction. It appears to me that a reported Firefox 33 bug with the handling of compression (Transfer-Encoding: chunked) is the culprit (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026743). I was able to find a work-around by specifying the file size and buffering. Below is my code, with some code from http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/440054/How-to-Open-any-file-in-new-browser-tab-using-ASP.
    Dim strPDF As String
    strPDF = Session("filname") 'pdf filename
    Dim User As New WebClient()
    Dim FileBuffer As [Byte]() = User.DownloadData(strPDF)
    If Not (FileBuffer Is Nothing) Then
    Response.Clear()
    Response.ClearHeaders()
    Response.CacheControl = "Private"
    Response.AddHeader("Pragma", "no-cache")
    Response.AddHeader("Expires", "0")

  • How to print pdf file not using the the adobe reader ?

    hello,
    i used the adobe sdk to open a pdf file in read and modify it serveral times and each time save it to another directory,and now i need to write a program to print the pdf file in this directory.when print the file,i want to continue my work also,so who i tell me how to solve this problem?
    thanks.

    The SDK is only a collection of documentation and headers that show you how to interact with and automate Adobe Acrobat and to some extent Adobe Reader. You need a copy of Acrobat or Reader installed on the system in order to use any of the SDK functions. You cannot "print not using the Adobe Reader", unless you have Adobe Acrobat installed on the system instead of Reader.

  • Need to create a PDF Portfolio programatically using the Adobe SDK in C# from a Windows Service.

    What classes/methods should I be using?
    We need to create a PDF portolio from a windows service written in C#.
    We need to merge several PDF documents into a single PDF portfolio from our windows service (programatically).
    I have seen documentation in the Adobe help on how to do it using the Adobe UI, but we need to do this step programatically from our windows servie.
    Thanks!

    You can't access Acrobat from a service - since we won't run in Service mode...only in standard Application mode.  In addition, we don't run on a server.
    But if you were doing this from a standard application - then you'll want to read the JavaScript documentation in the SDK as well as the documents about the .NET/JS bridge.

  • When I try to forward a PDF file by using the email button on the toolbar, it won't send.

    I cannot always forward a PDF using the email button on the toolbar.  For example, I get a report forwarded to me as a link.  When I open the link, the document opens as a PDF.  I use the email button on the toolbar to forward the document as an attachment.  Outlook pops up as a new message with the attachment.  I finish writing my email and hit the "send" button and I get an error saying the doucment couldn't be sent.  If I close the email and save it as a draft, I can open the draft copy and it will send.  Is there someway to fix this so I can eliminate these extra steps?  This has happened on a computer with Adobe Reader as well as a computer with Adobe Acrobate 9 Standard. 

    teresah7680 wrote:
    the doucment couldn't be sent.
    Is that the exact message that Outlooks gives you?
    Anyway, why don't you just forward the original link to the document, instead of the PDF itself?

  • Reading the contents of a File without using the  fileref

    Hi ,
    I was trying to read the contents of a file (not upload
    basically) without using the fileref.upload or any servlets.
    I wanted to give this file as input(dataprovider) to a
    datagrid from the local instead of uploading it to the server and
    fetching the contents from there.
    I will explain the scenerio here:
    1.I have a text field. (Here I am providing the path of the
    file located).
    2.There is a Submit button .(On click should be able to take
    the specified file as input and read the contents of the file)
    which should be able to read the contents of the file path
    specified in step1.
    I want to basically provide the contents of this xml file as
    data provider to a datagrid.
    can anyone please provide some help on this issue.
    thanks

    You cannot access the local file system in Flex. You need to
    upload the file to the server, and then populate the file from that
    uploaded file. Unless of course you are using AIR, then this is
    doable.

  • I cant read Adobe pdf files, have installed/unistalled adobe

    I can'te read Adobe pdf files or even download them.  Have installed/unistalled Adobe reader several times, restarted etc...

    Sounds like the file is bad. Where are you downloading the file/s from? What browser are you using to do the downloads? If you can't download what seems to be the problem? You need to provide more detailed information other than my car doesn't go.

    Uninstall Reader. Use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool. They try re-installing Reader 9.2

  • HOw do I create a new PDF file that incorporates the text changes I made in the previous PDF file?

    All of my edits appear properly in the saved file but as pop-ups etc. that cannot be seen when I print a copy.
    This seems like an obvious thing to want to do, but I cannot find out how to do it from any of the documentation (including video tutorials).

    Something to try:
    Create a Comment Summary report (a PDF file).
    There are several approaches that can be used.
    --| Work out of the Comment List (Comments > Comment View > Show Comments List or click the overlapped comment bubbles at the bottom of the Navigation panel)
    --| Comments > Show Comments List
    --| Comments > Summarize Comments
    --| Comments > Print with Comments Summary
    In the Summarize Options dialog, select the desired layout, paper size, how comments are to be sorted and font size.
    Select Include All comments. If you want to sort by review status, author, comment type, etc then go into the Comments List.
    The tool bar provides various means of configuration.
    When the Print dialog is present, under the "Properties" button (upper right), use the drop-down menu for 'Comments and Forms' to select "Document and Markups".
    The imprint on the paper will have the PDF page content and annotations (comments) provided in the PDF by use of the Text Edit tools.
    So, you can provide the text entered into a Text Edit's pop-up two ways.
    First - You have the PDF of the Comments Summary Report.
    Second - You have the hardcopy of this PDF.
    Of note is that, with Adobe's Tech Comm Suite, you can author in FrameMaker or MS Word, output a PDF for comments and review, then bring these comments back into the source authoring file.
    Be well...
