Creating PDFs from a PDF in Snow Leopard

All,
With Snow Leopard, I'm unable to create a PDF from a PDF using Acrobat 8 or 9 because it doesn't work and theres no fix, yet.
What I do.... someone mails me a PDF, I make comments, fill in info, etc, and need to create another PDF from that one that saves all of my entries as a new PDF where they can't be changed. The "Print to PDF" used to work.
For now, I have to import the PDF into Indesign or Illustrator, which is slow and a pain, make the comments there and save to a PDF in that application.
I'm looking for a new way to solve this easily (as I have a lot of files to save). Would love another "print to PDF" option within Acrobat.
Thoughts?

<<It won't work with Acrobat but you can take the file and open it in Preview and then save it as a PDF in Print dialogue. Or why not do a Save As in Acrobat and give it a modified name. >>
Sig,
The open in Preview and save as a PDF worked quite well, thanks!
It won't work in Acrobat, because it saves all of the comments and additions as they are, and still can be modified (or may not print.... stamps don't print or save well.).
Thanks for the suggestion.
At some point I'll upgrade to CS5 with the lastest Acrobat, but as a part time in the business, I'll wait for now.

  • I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

    I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

    It's best to install Snow Leopard on one of the three remain drives without an Operating System.
    You can then install the applications you need from the original media. Create a User Account using Setup Assistant.
    Do you want to migrate User Accounts from the OSX LIon boot drive, or are you keeping the User Accounts separate?
    Dual-booting just requires holding the option key during startup and selecting either Lion or Snow Leopard.

  • I reformatted from lion back to snow leopard how do i get my music back i have it on my iphone and when i sync up i still do not have my music on my mac how do i transfer it back to my mac

    Wow, you didn't make a backup of your files first?
    You shoudl have come here first for help before doing that.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16276201#16276201
    All I can say is make sure you have the same account name on the computer like before, even if you have to create a new user under System Preferences>accounts, then log into your itunes account with that and try to reverse sync from the iPhone like you would normally.
    Apple doesn't expect one to go backwards, so they are not all that friendly, you may have to ask around on MacRumors for third party software that can reverse sync from iOS devices.
    Good luck

  • Exporting OS X Mail from Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I partitioned my iMac HD to have two partitions: Macintosh HD has Mountain Lion; I reinstalled Snow Leopard on Macintosh HD 2. Best part: you can access your user-created files from EITHER disk partition. But not so OS X Mail. I wanted to revert to Snow Leopard, since I don't like the iOS-like Mountain Lion (swipe THIS!), but Mail was a problem since all my Snow Leopard Mail was successfully migrated over to Mountain Lion during upgrade. But I think I found a way to Export Mail from ML to (a clean install of) SL.
    Try this:
    1.  Open Mail in ML. For each folder you wish to have back in SL, Export it to your ML Desktop as an .mbox file. Depending on the folder size, this can take from a few seconds to several minutes. You'll see an .mbox icon for the particular folder on your Desktop. If the word "partial" appears between the folder name and the .mbox suffix, wait a few moments for the Export to complete, at which time the word "partial" will disappear. E.g., for a folder named "Mary", if it's a huge one, the icon will first appear as "Mary.partial.mbox"; when the Export is done, you'll see "Mary.mbox".
    2.  When you've Exported all your desired folders as above, you can exit ML and re-start your Mac in SL. Open Mail in Snow Leopard, and once again, for each file you just Exported in ML to the Desktop there, select "Import Data From Apple Mail" and choose the folder from the Desktop in ML to which your mboxes were Exported. When the Import starts, you can see via a progress bar how far along it is. When done, you'll see a new folder in your SL Mail called "Import"; click on it to reveal the folder you just Imported!
    3.  Then drag the folder you just Imported out of the Import folder to "On My Mac" in SL Mail; you can then delete the Import folder.
    4.  Repeat until all your folders are where you want them (in SL).
    5.  When you have time, go back into ML and clear all those .mbox files from your Desktop.
    There MAY be an easier way, but this is what worked for me.

    The iOS view vs classic view in Mail is not the problem; I've already configured for classic view.
    Mountain Lion itself is.
    My short list (to date) of crappy Mountain Lion behavior; items marked with a double asterisk (**)represent the worst of Mountain Lion for me.
    ** No up/down arrows in scroll bar slider;
    Expose` not as easy to navigate as in Snow Leopard;
    Mail does not request passwords for either receive or send;
    No "Save Draft" icon in Mail compose window (workaround: use command-s);
    "Save As" selection missing in most app menus;
    No separate Search window in Safari (workaround: use Firefox or Opera);
    ** Can't export Mail from Mountain Lion into Snow Leopard if downgrading (I compiled this list before I stumbled on the method in this thread, but I'd prefer to effect this with Unix symbolic links);
    iWork 09 seems to have "circled the wagons" re compatibility with MS Office or LibreOffice (workaround: just use Libreoffice);

  • I recently updated? to Lion from 10.6.8(snow leopard), and things seem to be running slower.  Has anyone had similar problems?  I have Feb 2011 Macbook pro 13" 2.3 Ghz.

    I recently updated? to Lion from 10.6.8(snow leopard), and things seem to be running slower.  Has anyone had similar problems?  I have Feb 2011 Macbook pro 13" 2.3 Ghz.

    As Shootist pointed out, the system uses more power.
    However, initially it will reindex the hard drive for spotlight, which will slow things down temporarily.
    It also must rebuild caches that eventually will speed things up.
    If it has completed indexing the hard drive (no dot pulsing in the spyglass), then there might be something wrong.
    Start by booting into the Recovery HD (a partition created with Lion that has Disk Utility and reinstallation options) by holding down cmd-r when you restart. You can let go when the gray screen appears.
    When it boots, select Disk Utility and Repair the drive.
    If that doesn't speed things up, try re-installing the OS from the same Recovery HD. It won't delete any of your files, but it has helped some people whose Macs ran slow after installing Lion.
    Also, how much memory do you have? Lion needs RAM so maxing your Mac out might also help.

  • HT1277 Mail has gone crazy. Header's and messages are mixed up. New Mac Book Pro. Migrated files from Time machine running snow leopard. Reinstall or new computer needed?

    Mail has gone crazy. Header's and messages are mixed up. New Mac Book Pro. Migrated files from Time machine running snow leopard. Reinstall or new computer needed?

    Ok; I'm not sure what you're doing.    36 hours is rather long.  Seems like a new migration.  Not what I intended.
    Here's what I intended: from the newly-migrated and apparently-corrupt environment, create a new user, not related to any existing user, nor any migration-created user, or any other user for that matter.  That is, use  > System Preferences > Users and Groups, authenticate yourself by clicking on the padlock, and then click the + and create a wholly new user.  Then log in under that user and establish the mail access.
    36 hours?  I'm wondering if there's an error or an exceedingly slow network here?  Or a really, really slow disk?  Or a sick backup?  (WiFi isn't the path I'd usually choose, either.)
    Failing the attempted second migration, I'd try a different tactic.  Does your existing (old) system work?   If so, I'd bypass the backup and connect an external (scratch) USB disk drive to the (old) sstem and then boot and use Disk Utility booted from the installer DVD disk or boot and use Disk Utility from the recovery partition or booted from a recovery partition created on some other external storage (details here vary by the OS X version and what hardware you have), and perform a full-disk backup of your original internal disk to (scratch) external storage.  (Make sure you get the source and target disks chosen correctly here; copying the wrong way — from the scratch disk to your existing disk — will clobber your data!)  In esssence, this will clone your existing boot disk.  Then dismount the (formerly-scratch) external disk, transfer it over to the new system, and use it as the source of the migration, by performing a fresh OS X installation on the new system.
    Target Disk Mode is also sometimes an option for accessing the disk for a migration, but that requires the right cable, and requires systems that have the same external connection; newer MacBook Pro systems use Thunderbolt for this, and older systems tend to use FireWire.  And I'm guessing you don't have compatible hardware.
    The details here can and do vary by your OS X versions and your particular Mac systems — if you'll identify the specific models and hardware, somebody might be able to better tailor the above (fairly generic) sequence to your particular configuration.

    When you press print the first window is pretty basic.
    When you select print on that the next window should have an advanced option.
    Click that and see if any of the options in the 3rd dropdown box allow you to specify the 'paper tray'.

    In this new windaow, click "advanced", go to "paper type/quality" and choose " best" and a photo paper. Then you will be able to choose a paper source (photo tray).
    Once you have these settings, under presets do "save as", and you can choose the preset instead of going to advanced.
    If you have the latest software and drivers downloaded from HP, this will work.

  • Can't play long voice memo after upgrading from Tiger OS to Snow Leopard OS

    I have a voice memo that's 1.5 hrs long saved on my computer that I used to be able to play in iTunes & Quicktime, but ever since I upgraded from Tiger OS to Snow Leopard OS, the file will not play anymore. I tried installing quicktime 7 from the snow leopard optional installs but the file still didn't play. I also installed the VLC player which opened the file, but only played 7 minutes of it. When I try to open the file in quicktime it says that it can't play the file and that it is not a movie file, but my file is saved as a ".mov" file. Does anyone know how I can get the file to play again?

    Could that read " . . . could not access . . ."?  If so, try repairing your backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If not, or if that doesn't help, see #A1 there. Use the TM Buddy widget it details to copy and post the messages here.

  • I'm thinking of upgrading from 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this? What are the implications / consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware?

    I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. I know, I'm years behind, but it has become a necessity. My Mac is becoming slow and is incompatible with many softwares and websites. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this upgrade? What are the implications and/or consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware? Are there any precautions I should take before the installation? I have read some posts about Macs slowing right down after installing Yosemite. Any insights and information (in layman's terms please!) would be very useful. Thanks.

    Huge thanks for your response Michel. I apologise for the delay in getting back to you. I have done as you suggested, the details are pasted below. Clearly there are some applications I need to remove and no doubt my HD could do with a 'spring clean'. My Mac 'Safe Booted' when I turned it on this morning.
    I use many different softwares, some web-based. The decision to upgrade to OSX Yosemite is because I was unable to attend a Webinar this week using GoToMeeting downloadable software. GoToMeeting have upgraded their system and my OS is no longer supported. Other websites like VImeo no longer support my version of Safari. I tend to use Chrome if Safari isn't compatible.
    Problem description:
    I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. However I have noticed that my MacBook Pro becoming ‘slow’ over the last 3 weeks and therefore might have some issues that need to be resolved before I even consider installing OSX Yosemite. Over the last week my Mac has Safe Booted on three occasions, so clearly there’s a ‘glitch’ occurring.

  • How do I switch from Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard?  New used computer that I don't have anything on yet but has Mountain Lion installed.

    I just puchased a used 2008 MacPro 2.8 ghz 8 core and it has Mountain Lion installed on it.  I want to go back to Snow Leopard because it is a better stable OS for using Final Cut Pro 7.  I just bought the Snow Leopard Discs to install.  I need to erase the hard drive and install Snow Leopard.  Any help on how
    to do this?  Thank you.

    Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
      1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
          loads select your language and click on the Continue
          button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
          Utilities menu.
      2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
          of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then
          the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART
          info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on
          the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
          from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
          Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
          the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

  • We upgraded or computer from os x to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 now our icons  for safari and mail won't open

    We upgraded or computer from os x to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 now our icons  for safari and mail won't open

    Drag the icons from the Dock, go to the Applications folder and drag Safari and Mail (one at a time) to the Dock. Don't release the mouse button until the adjaxent icons move out of the way for the one you're adding.
    That should compensate for the updates to Mail and Safari introduced with SL.

  • Could i upgarde from os tiger to snow leopard

    could I upgrade from os tiger to snow leopard? Do i have to upgrade to leopard then snow leopard?

    You may want to check out this thread.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17909524#17909524
    You can go from tiger to snow leopard two ways:
    - 1) Get the "Box Set" (takes you from tiger to Leopard i think)
    for like $199 from a retailer other than Apple - they no longer sell it but i found it on Amazon.com new and used.
    - 2) Get Snow Leopard
    the retail disk for like $50 at the Apple store.
    or
    1) just get Snow Leopard
    I've done some research and i've seen folks who've done this. Also i chatted online when i purhcased my Snow Leopard disk and was told by Apple that it will work. Previously, however i was told by Apple that i need the Box Set and that was the only way i could upgrade. This article in apple's support forums confirms that the SL disk alone will work ==> (http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MC574Z/A?pqid=QH49CCDXJ9DA24K TKTDPCKYKUDDDXKHTK
    So, If you don't want or need the extra expense or the extra bundled software that comes w. the box set you can get the Snow Leopard retail disk only and upgrade. It contains the OS and a few applications and cost less than half the price of the box set.
    One cavaet - since it was not intended for Tiger to be upgraded using the Snow Leopard disk, installs don't always go without a hitch - what i'm finding is that some installs have no trouble, other macs won't mount the DVD and others say they had to wipe the HD then install Snow Leopard.
    I'm in the process of upgrading my 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard, but my DVD dosen't seem to work. I may need to wipe my HD and then try agian.
    Cheers, hope this helps!

  • Cannot print to Adobe PDF from InDesign CS4 under Snow Leopard (10.6.2)

    Hello All,
    Hopefully the subject line says all. Running SL and CS4, and after manually deleting the "old" Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, I am unable to print to PDF — or select "Save As Adobe PDF" under the Mac OS print dialog. This is insanely frustrating on may levels, as this was once a 3-minute operation and now has stretched into two days of futile searching for a solution.
    There is a "tech doc" somewhere out there that offers a "solution". But beware, as it has not worked for me. Once you manually search for and remove the Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, you are supposed to magically be able to select the "Save As Adobe PDF" option. This is not the case for me.
    Am trying to print, once again, from InDesign CS4 (NOT via the Export command as that will not allow me to set page size, or print separations). There is no Adobe PDF driver there anymore and there is no option to print PDFs. Of course, I can rest easier with the knowledge that everything is easier now in SL.

    For a long time I was printing out of InDesign CS4 to a PS file and Distilling to a PDF, either composite or separated. Then Snow Leopard came along and that workflow seemed no longer available. It seems some well meaning people didn't understand a professional DTP workflow.
    I had to work between two Macs to create a project and then make separations.
    Eventually I went back to the Adobe InDesign forums and folks insisted that a Adobe PDF 9 printer should be available in my print drivers.
    On that suggestion I completely uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and then reinstalled it.
    It worked, I had the PDF printer back and can now print to a postscript file and do separations as I always have.
    (Another story is that Snow Leopard killed my Epson 2200 printer)
    At one stage I did an update of Acrobat 9 and it caused me to lose the Adobe printer again. Going through the procedure again brought it back and this time after a Acrobat 9 update it stuck.
    In my opinion somebody screwed up. It's not enough to be able to create PDFs out of Microsoft Word. There are people out here trying to make a living and need to be able to create print separations for some offset printers.

  • Problems deleting pdf's generated from files off of Snow Leopard Server

    The small design studio I work at has just upgraded from G5's running 10.4 Tiger, working off Tiger Server, to new iMacs running 10.6 Snow Leopard and a Mac Mini Server, on Snow Leopard Server.
    Normal working practice is to open files off the server across the network, making changes and saving them back down. Most of the time, a pdf will be generated from the file to send to the client when copy changes have been made, then saving down the pdf file to the iMac to email to the client.
    The issue is now that when the pdf has been emailed, attempting to delete it brings up a warning window that 'You do not have sufficient accesses privileges to delete the file' and this then has to be done by selecting secure empty trash.
    We are all registered users on the Mac Mini Server and this was not an issue we had when using Tiger.
    Could anyone suggest any setting changes that would be required to get around this issue?
    As a note, all the work files were originally on a older G4 being used as a sever and were copied to the new Mac Mini Server, that was set up as a new machine and was not done via transfer files.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Hello Ben,
    I'm very sorry, but this is not the correct forum in which to post your question! Universal Access is the facility for ensuring that all Mac users can benefit fully from their machines, regardless of disability.
    Try Snow Leopard Server—Installation, Setup and Migration instead!
    Cheers,
    Archie
