CS5 Pdf Presets Missing

Hi all
I have recently notices that the pdf present when exporting from indesign as pdf(not intereactive) are all missing. I dont have the option to export as a high res, print quality, smallest files size and the various other options that are normally available.
Does anyone know how i can go about getting them back? Are they something i can download from adobe somewhere? can i set them up?
Really stuck on this! Thanks for your help in advance!

Don't restrict the search to Adobe applications folders. Is there anequivalent to the all users profile -- an all users library? If not check your own user library, or maybe someon with a Mac can tell us where they ought to be.
As far as copying, yes, if they are truly missing. One way to get them into the system would be to g to the PDF Presets "Define" dialog and load them from the copy.

Adobe pdf presets missing!

They show up in the Settings folder, but are "hidden". Please help... thanks

Try starting acrobat to amek sure all si in working order, as that is where those presets come from.

Pdf presets missing after uninstall of Creative Suite 5 trial

I recently uninstalled the trial version of Creative Suite 5 because I was sick of CS 5 trying to launch after the 30 day trial when I opened a file from the finder instead of directly from CS4. Now, whenever I go to "Save as a pdf", none of the preset PDF options are available. What gives? Will I have to bite the bullet and purchase CS5?

Try to re-install Acrobat from you CS4 disks.

PDF Presets lost in CS4 after uninstalling Photoshop CS5 trial

Upon removal of the Photoshop CS5 trial, I lost all of my Save as Adobe PDF Presets (.joboptions) in the CS4 versions of Illustrator, Photoshop & InDesign. I miss them... so much....

Add me to the list of those affected as well.... *sigh*
Edited to add:
So I contacted a friend and he sent me a copy of his default presets. These need to be installed in the Macintosh HD > Library > Applications Support > Adobe > Adobe PDF > Settings folder.

Lost Ability to Choose PDF presets in all CS5 Suite

I am no longer able choose a pdf preset when saving a pdf from any application in the creative suite (Print, Screen, etc.) I can choose "Program Default" and custom. I don't recall if I've even tried to save at any of these sizes since installing CS5, so maybe they are just gone?
I also don't recall what updates may have happened to start this problem. I seem to remember doing a Mac system update that had an acrobat/reader update, but I'm not 100%.
Has anyone else encountered this? Fixes?

Are plug-ins enabled?
Safari > Preferences > Security
Web content:
Put a check mark in the box next to "Enable plug-ins"
Best.

Undefined PDF Presets in Illustrator CS5

I'm encountering a problem when attempting to retrieve a list of PDF preset names in both AppleScript and JavaScript. Here are the steps I'm performing:
1) Launch Illustrator
2) Run the following AppleScript:
     tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
          PDF presets
     end tell
or JavaScript:
     app.PDFPresetsList;
When I run the AppleScript, I receive an error: "Adobe Illustrator got an error: an Illustrator error occurred: 1128353350 ('FNAC')" number 1200. (Sometimes, 'ACVI' is listed instead of 'FNAC'.)
When I run the JavaScript, I receive: "Result: undefined"
If I retrieve Illustrator's properties via AppleScript, I can see that the PDF presets property appears as 'missing value'.
The only workaround I've found is to manually go to Illustrator and choose "Edit > Adobe PDF Presets", and then immediately click "OK" to close the window. Whatever this does seems to fix the problem, and if I run the scripts again, they produce the correct results until Illustrator is relaunched, at which time the problem begins again. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, and if anyone has come up with any other workarounds, preferably one that doesn't require manual work.
Much appreciated.

When I run the script (either from the ESTK or within AI) it gives me a combined list from two different sources. The first is the list of the suite installed joboptions which are located in OS/HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings like this
The other joboptions shown are the user defined ones from <your account>/Library/Applicaton Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings like this
and here's the list from running the script from AI
I will have to agree with MuppetMark that it is something with your install that is off.

Missing PDF Presets in Illustrator CS2 - Please Help

I use Adobe Illustrator CS2 for work (running on Windows 7 32-bit). I am not sure how it happened, but I suddenly can ONLY save a PDF using the Illustrator Default option in the Adobe PDF Preset field. I no longer have the option to save a PDF using as Press Quality, Smallest File Size, etc.
I have searched around the web and have not been able to find any good info on how to restore these presets. Any help with correcting this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

how to restore these presets.
By reinstalling any Adobe app that makes use of the shared PDF components. The presets themselves are stored in the pertinent program folder and also in your user data folder. In fact if you simply create a new user account they may magically show up because they were re-created/ copied with factory defaults... On the other hand that may also point to possible permissions issues with your own user account - the files may be there, but inaccessible due to insufficient privileges. Other than that really simply reinstall.

[AI-CS5]How to get default pdf preset list.

Hi All,
I want to get the complete list of pdf presets, the same"Adobe PDF Preset" list which we see in "Save Adobe PDF" dialog.
I am unable to find any method to get this list programatically.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction ?
Is It feasible/possible to get list programatically ?
I am able to get the list in Indesign using "IPDFExptStyleListMgr" interface. Do we have its counterpart in AI as well.
Thanks
D.

Thanks for the reply!!
I am not sure, if PDF Preset Folder remains same universally. Is there some preferences user can set to changes preset folder path ?
If not than I suppose, I can do this . Though Drawback with this approach is, It will requires iteration on two folders, first on All User's App folder than on current login user's App folder for custom presets. Also I need to write different code for both Win and Mac.
I was looking for some better approach. Don't AI provide some API for this simple task ?

Illustrator actions stopped remembering pdf preset in CS6

Hi guys,
I used to have my actions set up so i could easily save PDFs with different pdf presets, depending what the work was for (print, magazine ad with bleed, newspaper ad without bleed etc).
Now when I try CS6 and set up these actions in Illustrator it seems like the action wont use the preset I set it up with, and just defaults to the last one used.
Is there something I'm missing or is this indeed a flaw in CS6? Its pretty time-saving for me so it would be a big deal-breaker upgrading to CS6.
thanks

I had pdf actions that saved them to my desktop in CS5. Imported them into CS6, they did not work so rerecorded them in CS6 and they work.

Acrobat X pro pdf printer missing/ puzzle re forum fixes

Licensed Acrobat X pro installed; but no pdf printer.
Attempted workaround
<http://blogs.adobe.com/dmcmahon/2012/06/04/acrobat-pdf-printer-missing-after-installation- on-windows-64-bit/>
Solution 1 repair --did not work
Solution 2 --Uninstall and reinstall: I installed as part of CS5.5...do I have to unistall entire or just Acrobat?
Solution 3: I am copying below with notes as to what didn't show up
Manually install the PDF Printer
Click Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers
Select Add a printer
Select Add a local printer
Check Use an existing port and select Documents\*.pdf (Adobe PDF) from the drop down. Click Next
[No such file on 'existing port.' attempted using NITRO pdf which came with this new lenovo machine [but never availbale and not installed --jst recommended, although this file exists < NitroPDF Port: (local port) > which I attempt]
Click the Have Disk… button
Click the Browse… button
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF
Select AdobePDF.inf from the list if using Acrobat Pro, or AdobePDFstd.inf if using Acrobat Std, then click the OK button
[this files exists]
You will see many Adobe PDF Converters in the list, however count six down from the top and click Next (you may need to try this numerous times to find the correct Converter from the list that works with your version of Windows)
[Attempted six down--no dice].
Name your printer, e.g. Adobe PDF
Follow the rest of the prompts and your PDF printer should now be installed correctly
If you are later prompted for the ADPDF9.PPD file, it can be found in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\<OS version> folders.
[Once I hit 'test' print it states < Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrotray.exe'.
BUT i'm not using Acrobat 11.0!
Any ideas, o wise ones?
best,
skylar1

Hello All,
I just figured this out--
I installed updates in the Help tab, and the files required, including pdf printer were installed.
Works!
I realize that this is a gen behind in software but I am running legacy large format printers and the newest is not the best in this application.
Hope this helps....

Premiere CC presets missing and Can't Open Sequence error

I'm having a couple problems with Premiere.
I was working on a project that's been just fine for a while, but now when I try to open it, Premiere gives the error:
"This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
Also, in any project when I'm creating a new sequence, there are no useful presets. I found the sequence presets folder, and they're all in there, but they don't show up from within Premiere.
Also, when I import AVCHD .MTS files, I get video but no audio, even though they play ok in VLC
Solutions I have tried but which do not solve anything:
1. Sign out, restart Premiere, sign back in
2. Recreate the Adobe Premiere Pro preferences and plug-in cache. (using shift/option combo)
3. uninstall premiere, reboot, run cleaner script, reboot, reinstall premiere
4. uninstall premiere, reboot, run cleaner script, reboot, create new user account, install premiere in that user account instead of original account
I am aware of this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/features-presets-missing-premiere-pro.html
and this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
Some pages I've come across have suggested running the cleaner script multiple times, but you can really only run it once, because after the first cleaning, when you run it again nothing shows up on the list to be cleaned. Are there still remnants of Adobe stuff left on my machine uncleaned by the cleaner script that I need to delete manually?
Has anyone else had this problem but not had any of the adobe-suggested solutions work for them and eventually fixed this?
This is Adobe Premiere CC 2014. I'm running it on a Mac Book Pro that's less than a year old, running OSX 10.9.5 w/ 16GB of memory.
This is INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING. I've spent most of the day troubleshooting this issue and all I want to do is edit my video. A cursory search of the internet shows that I am far from alone in having this problem. Also, reinstalling is not trivial because the download speeds where I am are slow.

Well, it took a long time, but I eventually got it working properly. All of the presets and codecs show up, I can import AVCHD files properly with audio, and the project I couldn't open before now opens fine, so it turned out not to be a corrupt project. It looks like the problem was that the cleaner script didn't actually clean everything it should have, and I had to do it all manually.
I uninstalled all of the Adobe Creative Cloud software, rebooted, ran the CC Cleanup script, and rebooted again.
Then I uninstalled Flash and ALL other Adobe software I had on my machine.
Then I used the Find Any File app to find every reference on my Mac to any file with "adobe" in the name--including system files--and deleted them and emptied the trash.
The only Adobe things I left on my machine were the Adobe RGB color profile and any Adobe fonts I had.
Empty the trash again, reboot again.
Then I used the CC installer to install Premiere and only Premiere (I didn't even install Adobe Media Encoder) because I didn't want to go through all that download time only to have it fail on me again.
And at long last it worked. Then I went back and installed Media Encoder, which didn't seem to break anything, so I went back and installed the other CC software I wanted on my machine, and things are working at last.
The "cleaner" script leaves a LOT of Creative Cloud-related files on your machine, which, in my opinion, means it's not a very effective "cleaner." It seems to want to leave a lot of preference files and other files whose purpose I don't know (but I deleted them anyway). There should at least be a checkbox somewhere on the cleaner that says "wipe absolutely everything related to Adobe off of my machine".
Thanks again for your suggestions, Neil.

Recent Problem with PDF Preset

For a long time I've been able to use the "Adobe PDF Preset" options to create various-size PDF files. However, there appeared to be an Acrobat update today. When I went to export a file as a low-res PDF, the only option that came up in the "Preset" drop down was "custom." I tried exporting a PDF, and the result was a PDF the same size as the native file. I'm using CS5.5. Any help would greatly appreciated.

InDesign has never EXPORTed PDF to any size other than the document size...

All PDF Presets Not Showing Up in Menu

There are 14 total PDF presets between both Settings folders on my computer (Mac 10.8.5). Only 10 of them are showing in the Adobe PDF Presets menu item. Does anyone know why all of them wouldn't be showing up?
Thanks,
Lloyd

I'm in InDesign CC 2014. All of the missing ones came with InDesign, as far as I know…they all have the same creation dates. I created two and they ARE showing up. And it's not consistent; some from each folder are showing up, and some from each folder are not showing up. A couple of them are named PDFA1b as opposed to PDFX1a (etc.). Also, two that aren't showing up have JPN in the file name (right before the period) but one that has JPN in the file name IS showing up. It's not a huge deal, I was just curious why some would and some wouldn't.Thanks!

InDesign PDF Presets Bug

Hello everyone,
I have noted this problem since cs5 version came out but I am reporting it now. Well, here is the thing: if I have some multi page or single page document in InDesign and I want to export it in some of Adobe PDF Presets for printing for example like [PDF/X - 4:2008] as usual I get the progress how much of the pages are exported and when progress dialog is gone when I go to the location of the exported PDF i get 0kb PDF file. So there is nothing in it and when I try to open it it reports error. After few minutes passed I see size of the PDF is changed and exported PDF is there now and it can be opened. So basically after export progress is finished at start you won't have any data in exported PDF and after couple of minutes passed it will fill that PDF with exported data. So does any of you have experienced such behavior? I think this is a bug and this behavior is tested and confirmed on Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and Windows 7 64bit.
Best regards,
Ratko Asanovic

Here's a few things I wished the Background Task did.
1. The Indicator in the Control be clickable to open the panel (else add a background tasks button where the other buttons are Guide Screen Mode and Arrange Documents)
2. The list of Background Tasks performed remained and you can open the PDF from the background task panel. The point of the background panel is to allow you to work while pdfs are being generated. Well if I'm working I don't want a PDF jumping up when the option is clicked in the settings to open the pdf. Instead I'd prefer the Background Panel icon to turn Green or something when PDFs are in the Background Panel. That would give me a visual indicator that I have PDFs created that need to be looked at in Acrobat. I can then open the panel via the shortcut on the control bar and commence checking my PDFs created that day.
It just falls a little short for me at the moment.
