Distiller and the lack of a PDF printer

I am new to Mac so please forgive any ignorant questions I may ask.
I had some previous experience with Acrobat Pro on Windows and there I recall two things happening:
Distiller seemed to be launched at boot up.
There was a PDF printer present in the printer panel.
Running Acrobat Pro v9.3.0 under the latest updates to the OS, Distiller does not seem to start when the OS boots, and there is not PDF printer showing. What am I missing or what did I do wrong?
Thanks.

Hi,Test Screen Name
Because HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\Ad obe PDF\ is the dir where to set the property of Adobe PDF printer when windows load it , this is experience, no documentation(or i don't find) , perhaps there will be other registry itemes which does not list in that dir ,but i don't know , that is why i think it just like what you have said ' It looks very like a "discovery" rather than a policy ' . For this reason , i want to realize it by adobe acrobat SDK programming ,but now the second way is impossible. Thank you again !

I also have problems with Facebook on my iPad 2. I don't do a lot with Facebook and generally only post on my feed page. Sometimes hitting return on the keyboard enters the comment, sometimes not. Sometimes the comment will show on my iPad but if I revisit that page I find that the comment has disappeared. So I'd say that Facebook and my iPad are not totally compatible with each other.
I looked into Friendly and was about to purchase this free ap. But before I did I went to the Friendly web page for more info. There I found a page with users comments. One after another users complained about bugs with Friendly. The developers claimed a fix was coming but the user comments complained about the lack of response and support. One of the fixes suggested by the developers was to log out of Friendly then log back in. One user complained that doing this three times in ten minutes was not very helpful. Because of this I decided to avoid Friendly.
I did find a Facebook developed ap but it was for the iPhone. I presume that iPhone aps will work on the iPad but I'll wait until Facebook releases an iPad compatible ap. If there is an ap developed by Facebook for the iPad that I missed please let me know.

How to set the orientation in Adobe X and does this affect whether PDF prints in landscape/portrait

How do I set the orientation for a PDF document in Adobe X? Also if I set the orientation in Adobe X then does that mean the printer will automatically print it in either portrait or landscape or would that have to be configured on the printer?

Under Document (or TOOLS in AAX) you use Rotate Pages. When saved, the document should retain the rotation. As for the print, I think it will still print OK, but am not sure. Bottom line, just try it (that is exactly what I would do) on a page or two.

How to omit the report column in pdf-print?

Hi, experts!
I have a column with html code (a link to another web-page). The html draws a button with redirection to a specific link. In the properties of that column I set an "html" format, so the code executes and the desired button appears... but! When I print this report (using printer friendly option PDF) it shows me the html code of the button, but not the button itself. So the question is:
a) how to omit specific column from a PDF?
OR
b) how to push OBI showing the button (not the html code)?
thnx 2 all in advance!

How to install just the Adobe 7 Writer PDF printer

In our environment we need to be able to print to PDF, but we also have a 3rd party formcreation software that needs Adobe 8 reader to capture digitized signagtures.
After testing we have found out that we need to have the PDF printer functionality of Writer 7, and the digitized signature capture ability from 8. Problem is that the 7 install (no matter ther order of installation) take priority over the 8 install and does not let us use 8 to sign the document.
the ideal fix is being able to install just the pdf printer from 7 Writer.
Network is a mixed batch of XP and 7 machines

What is the Acrobat 7 Adobe PDF printer driver name?

I can no longer print to my "Adobe PDF" printer.
I have Acrobat 7.1.0 (as part of Creative Suite 2) on my small travel laptop system running Windows XP Professional, SP3.
Recently, if I try to print to a PDF file from Firefox, I get:
"an unexpected error has occurred" or "an unknown error has occurred while printing".
I went to the Adobe PDF printer itself and if I try to choose the properties, I get "The Adobe PDF Converter' is not installed on this computer. Then it asks me if I want to install the driver now. If I say yes, it wants the driver name, which I don't know and don't see obvious candidates. If I say no, and I see the properties for the PDF printer, it says the driver is "Adobe PDF Converter", but I guess the underlying driver file is missing.
I found a posting for how to manually reinstall the printer on Acrobat 10, but my directory structure is different and I don't have a file called pdf.inf, so I suspect the driver name is different in Acrobat 7.
I can still launch Acrobat 7 just fine, and have tried doing the repair from the help menu twice, and rebooted afterward. No luck.
I didn't delete the Adobe PDF printer before the repair. I was afraid to.
I could go back to the original CS2 disks, but then I'll lose all the updates I've downloaded and installed over the years. I don't know if Adobe even has the updates for CS2 online anymore.
I suspect if I knew the name of the PDF printer driver in Acrobat 7, I may be able to fix it. Even if the file got deleted, I likely have it on an old backup.
Does anyone know the name of the ".inf" driver file for the Adobe PDF printer in Acrobat7 (CS2)?
If not, is there something else I can run from the setup files that will reinstall the PDF converter?
Thanks.
Cindy

I cannot confirm, but feel confident that Adobe has the updates available for CS2.
Reinstall from the disks.
I just looked through my XP system running CS2; I cannot see an easy way to reinstall the Adobe PDF Printer, but it is already installed there.

SL3100 Pairing problem and the lack of intelligent reply from creative

I posted a message a day or two ago about having trouble pairing my SL300 with its own adapter. This was a brand new out of the box unit. Since the unit was new I thought I'd ask Creative to assist and wrote to their tech support, who returned with following response. In my opinion this response shows a total lack of product knowledge or any concern whatever that one of their OWN products does not work. Here is the response I received when I could not pair THEIR ADAPTER with THEIR HEADSET? both of which came in a sealed box from THEM?I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. However, let me try my best to help you out in resolving this issue.
To assist you on this, you may want to try on the following
troubleshooting tips and see if they could help:
1. Try unpairing the headset. A headset can only be paired to one device at a time.
2. Recharge the headset and try pairing the headset once more. A headset will not automatically pair with the device again when powered on.
3. Check that the device being paired to the headset has its Bluetooth feature(s) turned on.
4. Ensure the headset is turned on and the battery is fully charged.
5. Ensure the headset is within one meter of the device while pairing.
6. Remove and replace the device's battery (if the device has a replaceable battery) and try pairing the device and the headset again.
7. If prompted by the device for a passkey, enter 0000.
8. Make sure the Bluetooth headset and the device are both running compatible protocols.
9. Make sure the Bluetooth headset and the device are both running compatible protocols.
10. Make sure there are no obstructions between the device and the headset when pairing.
11. Make sure the pairing is being initiated on the headset, not the device the headset is being connected to.
If the issue would still persist, the product may need to be repaired/replaced.
The problem you described indicates your unit may require repair or replacement. If possible, try exchanging the product for another from the vendor, for this may be much quicker and easier than having an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) issued. If this is not possible, an RMA will need to be arranged to have your product tested for repair/replacement.
If the product has exceeded its one year warranty period, an out-of-warranty RMA will need to be issued. This type of RMA requires a non-refundable US $25.00 diagnostics and handling fee for each out-of-warranty product. The fee is applied toward the complete cost of repair/replacement. If the cost of the repair/replacement exceeds the initial diagnostic fee, the RMA department will contact you to obtain your authorization for finance of the remaining fee. If the product has not exceeded its warranty, no diagnostic fee is required.

It is pretty standard practice for you to get a more general response first time as it eliminates most users problems. And, unless you doing the pairing incorrectly, it seems the email does suggest an answer (its faulty) and recommends replacement.
I would assume the problem is its broke too, so just try to return it to the shop you got it from.

REALLY?? REALLY???? FDR-X1000V and the lack of any updates from Sony or even hints.....

Sony.. WTF? You there? I guess you don't care about your 4K Action Cam models. I wanted to care. I wanted to love the new FDR-X1000V. But... I can't.... I am most likely going to sell my FDR-X1000V at a major $200 loss because... well... there are no firmware updates in the making.. sony doesn't care about us and they are basically making another Discman and no MP3 support.. yea we know how that went.. Discman what? yup... sony.. pull your f#@$#ing head out your ****** and make a group that works with us camera owners to get udpates in your firmware or ******.. give us a dev kit where we can try adding our own features or expanding on the feature set. Why the ****** can't i do a 4k timelapse on my 4K action cam? GoPro's can... so yea.. i wanted to move away from GoPro but.. your 4K cam just made me want to run back to them... ****** off and i hope your action cam dept FAILS... i'm done w/sony action cams forever... and everyone i know will hear about this.

So.. prior to this FDR-X1000V, i had been a hardcore GoPro guy.. sure, they had a few issues initially but GoPro was quick to update the firmware to fix battery drain problems, video quality and also add more features that we found useful. I really had loved what Sony seemed to be doing on the action cam front w/the previous AS series. At CES 2015 i saw news about the FDR-X1000V being released that could do 4K resolutions. I already had a GoPro Hero 3+ Black Ed but really liked the video stabilization features and the way better stereo audio. It is now about 2 months in and i'm selling my camera on ebay at a major loss beause i'm just annoyed w/the lack of forethrought into the planning and execution of this camera and it's features. OK Sony R&D; this is a free $50K consultation for free because you are going to lose this market even more as 2015 continues and you fail to connect with your hardcore action cam owners and fail to address our concerns/feature requests. 1. Power on and off via remote should have been implemented the moment this camera was even thought of. There is no way to power on the camera w/o pushing a button on the physical camera. Try doing that when you have it mounted on your car's bumper going 70mph a freeway. GoPro can power on camera via phone app and the remote. ALSO, this lack of a feature SHOULD BE MENTIONED ON THE REMOTE'S PACKAGING.. i assumed it would let me turn on / off the camera.. since well the gopro remote did... 2. Menus... have you ever tried using the menu system on the camera? first off, if i go to settings on a camera and make one change, I DON'T WANT TO BE TAKEN OUT OF THE MENU after i make a change. If i'm in the settings area, i'm probably making two or three relative changes. the liveview remote makes this much easier but man... horrible! 2b. Power Off option?? umm, how about holding down the PREV button to power off camera vs hitting Prev several times until you see PWR OFF on the lcd and then hitting Record to select. wow.. so cumbersome.... 3. Timelapses.. why aren't we allowed to take timelapses at the full camera resolution vs 1080P video clips made into jpgs? this lack of a feature is the MAIN reason i'm going back to gopro. I do tons of timelapses and the quality of my timelapses w/the Sony are so much lesser. 4. SPOT metering.. ever hear of this? or how about more manual controls for light exposure.. did anyone at sony take this camera and mount it in a car and do a POV video on a sunny day? probably not.. yea, you can't see a thing through the windshield, just the car's interior. 5. WAY MORE MANUAL CONTROLS!!! i'd love to try to leave the shutter open for 2 - 3 secs at night to get star/night sky timelapses.. nope.. 6. Finally.. listen to us users... we are your beta testers and power users; we use your products in ways you obviously have never. the action camera is a big product sect going forward and it's still pretty early w/two main competitors.. well.. actually really just one main and let's just say it isn't you... This is your mp3 player/discman move all over again if you don't listen.. i've been a sony owner/fanboy since the 80s but you've lost me as a loyal customer and user on the actioncam sect. and trust me.. when my pals ask me what action cam to get... the name may start w/a G and not an S...

Thunderbolt reboots and the lack of update

As a new customer to Verizon, I just wanted to thank this fine company for pushing out
and update that causes my insanely expensive phone to randomly reboot. I also greatly
appreciate the delay after delay in pushing out the update to fix it.
I also appreciate that you, as a company, are aware of the issue, yet continue
to ignore the customer base. SOURCE
Thanks Verizon.. It's nice to know you are no better than AT&T.

That's Verizon.
They claim to have a fix in progress and probably do, but they have
the resources (HTC does as well) to push harder on this development.
Yes, every company can ALWAYS push harder on any initiative by throwing more money at it, but this doesn't mean that something will necessarily get done any faster(or better). In fact, sometimes when rushed, things tend to end up worse than if they were carefully done. I assume that you would like another update pushed out like the last and not fix the problem, just so that you would think that Verizon wasn't ignoring you. What a great idea!
What seems to be happening is they are working on this in a
"it's not a big deal" mode, rather than a "There is a problem
with our flagship product".
The part that's upsetting people is they charged a premium
for this device, then broke it, then delayed the fix again and
again and again, all while touting the device and selling it
to more suckers that don't realize the moment they update
the phone, it will likely begin rebooting.
You may be happy with that siatuion, but I find myself disgusted
by the lack of progress and the fact that I had to pay almost
$400 for the stupid thing and these {please keep your posts courteous} broke it AND
customers are offered *ZERO* compensation.

No BT!!!!!!! whili i get legaly you are seperate you are far and away openreaches largest customer. if you said you want it they will offer it up but becasuse you are the same F ing company you dont!!!!!!
for god sake i want to give you my money but you wont let me!!!!!!

Hi mark2410.
The Openreach Superfast Fibre Broadband Scheme is being rolled out, done and managed by Openreach so BT Retail (a communication provider/ISP whom operates this forum) does not have much say as to when and if you will be able to get fibre broadband (FTTC or FTTP or equivalent) as that is up-to Openreach.
There are currently 2 types of fibre broadband which Openreach are rolling out in certain exchange areas.
One is Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) and the other is Fibre to the Premises (FTTP).
At the moment the majority of Exchanges included in Openreach's Commercial Fibre broadband plan are FTTC enabled exchanges.
This means that not only does your exchange have to be FTTC enabled but your street cabinet (pcp) will also need to be upgraded with a FTTC (DSLAM) cabinet.
Not all cabinets will be upgraded with a FTTC cabinet in a FTTC enabled exchange area.
There are small proportion of exchanges that have been enabled for FTTP.
In Edinburgh there are 6 exchanges down as CS (Coming Soon) that are going to be Fibre enabled.
These are:
1) DAVIDSONS MAINS exchange - FTTC - Estimated to be ready by June 2013
2) EDINBURGH GRANTON exchange - FTTC - Estimated to be ready by June 2013
3) EDINBURGH LIBERTON exchange - FTTC - Estimated to be ready by June 2013
4) EDINBURGH MAYBURY exchange - FTTC and FTTP - Estimated to be ready by September 2013
5) EDINBURGH MORNINGSIDE exchange - FTTC - Estimated to be ready by June 2013
6) EDINBURGH SOUTH QUEENSFERRY exchange - FTTC - Estimated to be ready by June 2013
Remember that once an exchange area is Fibre enabled, not everyone will be able to get fibre broadband.
If you are in a FTTC exchange area then your cabinet (pcp) will also need to be upgraded with a FTTC cabinet before Fibre broadband such as BT Infinity will be available to you.
If the Superfast-Openreach Commercial fibre broadband rollout doesn't reach you then you may be able to apply or get help from your local council or governments BDUK scheme.
Unfortunately BT Retail (a communication provider/ISP who operates this forum) does not have much say as to when and if you will be able to get FTTC or FTTP/H based broadband such as BT Infinity.
You can register your interest for Fibre Broadband such as BT Infinity by going to http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/expression-gen.aspx
You can keep checking the BT Wholesale Database and BT Infinity website for the most upto date information as these are updated regularly.
The openreach When and Where website is: http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when/
Hope that helps,
Cheers
**The Fibre-Optic Broadband Rollout is being managed and done by Openreach for all communication providers/ISPs.
BT Retail (a communication provider/ISP) has nothing to do with the rollout of fibre broadband.**

Evince and the "4 pages to 1" printing

Hi!
I would like to print 4 pages to 1 in Evince, but I'm still getting just 1 page to 1. So, if I start it from console, I get these errors (as user and also as root):
** (evince:6266): WARNING **: Service registration failed.
** (evince:6266): WARNING **: Unable to determine the address of the message busModel not found, discarding config
dbus-daemon is running though. Anyway I tried to start again it with dbus-launch:
dbus-launch evince foo.pdf
and there were no errors. But the problem with printing remains.
Please, does anybody knows where's the problem? Thanks for any advice.

I think it was a bug (read that in the GNOME bugzilla some months ago), but in Ubuntu it works, so I suppose it's solved now.

Controlling the encoding of a PDF printed with a virtual printer?

Hi all.
In another thread, I was told that I cannot change the encoding of fonts with Adobe Reader. How about with Acrobat?
In an existing business process, users print PDFs to a virtual printer from Acrobat Reader. The resulting PDF somtimes contain CID fonts with encoding Identity-H.
Not all PDF viewers do this, some keep the encoding of the original pdf (same virtual printer used).
Can I control the encoding of the resulting PDF by printing from Acrobat (or any other Adobe product)?
All comments appreciated,
/Martin

Thanks for answering!
1) I realize it seems strange, but the virtual printer is embedded in one of our products. The product uses Windows printing as a point of integration in order to enable almost any windows program (including PDF readers) to send data to our server. In effect, we use pdf as our data protocol over the wire. It's a long story...
2) The virtual printer embedded in our product is NovaPDF.
3) I wish it wasn't an issue, but the library we use to extract text (PDFNet) does not seem to handle it very well. However, I am simultaneously looking for a solution in that end too.
The problem only occurs very rarely, for specific PDFs only. PDFs created by the library iText seem to be particularly problematic.
