Firefox v33 knocked out my Adobe 7 pro PDF printer plugin. PDFs print OK from other applications.

Firefox v33 knocked out my Adobe 7 pro PDF printer plugin. PDFs print OK from other applications. It happened a few times randomly, and it seemed to resolve spontaneously, but now it is persistent.
I've done scans for malware, which I suspected, but nothing showed up, nor corrected it with cleaning.
I had this problem before, and I found directions on how to rest the printer within Firefox, but I've forgotten how or where I got it.
I did try to re-install in control panel, but this appears to be a firefox issue. How do i rest the plugin or Firefox to once again print PDFs from browser pages. I need to use this feature printing receipts etc.

Are you using a toolbar button (Create PDF extension) or a printer driver (selecting Adobe PDF or Distiller in the Print dialog) to generate the PDF? Older versions of Create PDF have been reported not to work any more (by older I mean from Acrobat X or earlier), but the printing method should still work.

  • Have Adobe Pro 8.0 Can't Print to PDF Printer

    Am getting error Message "out of paper" instead of dialog window that should ask for file name.

    Bill,
    First, let me thank you for sending this email!
    I tried “printing to file” from the Adobe PDF printer using AutoCAD (where I was first having the problem), and it did not store a file in any location on the laptop.  The popup window did pop up and ask where I wanted to store the file, but after typing in a name and hitting the button, it just went away.  This was the second test, the first test locked up the program as I discovered that the Adobe PDF printer was set to spool, then print, and it would never stop spooling, 10 minutes of waiting had me cancel out on the printing.  I then selected ‘print directly to printer’. With this change, after the fill in the name of the file window, it just went poof.  No file saved.
    I am running Win 7 pro with trend micro security (came on the laptop).  In addition, I cannot use the Adobe PDF printer with any other software either.  However, if I open Adobe directly, then go to the command ‘create pdf from file’, select the file (even if it is autoCAD) it will “make” the pdf document.  So there is a work around. 
    One additional thing I can say is that, with this laptop, in the past, I was able to use the Adobe pdf printer as intended and it worked well. 
    I believe that my issues started when I clicked on the ‘pdf-Xchange’ (tracker software) printer by accident one day when I meant to select the Adobe PDF printer, I had installed this software a long time ago on another Laptop and  even through I never “installed” it on this laptop, it came over with copying the files from the old laptop to the new one, somehow, I do not know how, it got set up as a printer on this new machine!!! 
    I have sense uninstalled it, and removed all it’s folders and files and run CCcleaner to get any leftover .dlls that it might have left.  Since then I have done the uninstall on Adobe and reinstall and also deleted the Adobe PDF printer and then run the ‘repair’ function from Adobe 8.0 to reinstall the printer.  Still does the same thing.  The original error message from the printer info window was that the Adobe PDF printer was “out of paper”, how can a virtual printer ever run out of paper?

  • Printing to acrobat pdf from other application in Leopard

    Hi,
    I've upgraded to Leopard and to Adobe CS3. Whenever I want to print from any application to Acrobat pdf (for instance from Word 04), the acrobat printer pauses and the pdf is not created.
    Is this one of the known issues that will be fixed when Adobe releases the Leopard-proof update of CS3?
    Thanks,
    johan

    Is the ESR version of Mozilla Firefox?  If not, then try that version to see if the issue persists. 
    BTW the ESR version of Mozilla Firefox IS the supported version of Mozilla Firefox.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • How to get links from other applications to open a new Firefox window

    I have non-Web browser applications that want to open browser windows. I have Firefox as my default Web browser. When these other applications pass a URL to Windows, Windows passes the URL to Firefox. Unless there are no Firefox windows running, Firefox then opens the URL in a new tab of the most recently used Firefox window. I would prefer that Firefox open a completely new window. Where can I find the setting for this behavior?
    Thank you,
    Dan

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Can´t open links from other applications, "Firefox no responde..."

    When I try to do so, I get a pop-up saying firefox doesn´t respond ( In Spanish: "Firefox se está ejecutando, pero no responde. Para abrir una nueva ventana, primero debe cerrar el proceso Firefox existente, o reiniciar su sistema.")
    I´ve already reset my profile , but the problem persists.
    This is not the only problem I have with Firefox, also it frequently stalls for several seconds and Windows prints "(no responde)" in the window label.
    Of course, if I set as default browser IE or Chrome, I don´t have any of this problems (just they aren´t as cool, but at least work :) ).

    Hello <!-- XXX you may wish to edit this greeting, and other parts of the response so that it is personalised to the question asked.--> ,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b>Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. <!-- Starting in Firefox 31, the Firefox uninstaller no longer lets you remove user profile data.Ref: Bug 432017 and https://support.mozilla.org/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer/discuss/5279 [Fx31] Windows uninstaller will no longer offer the option to remove personal data -->
    Please report back to say if this helped you!

  • USB Peripheral Device Knocked out 2011 MacBook Pro

    I connected an external fan to my brand new 2011 MacBook Pro (13 inch).  A couple of times it shut the MBP's down, requiring a reboot. 
    The last time, it shut the computer down and it now will not restart at all.  I have tried resetting the SMC, but it still will not start up.
    The power plug indicator light (on the part that connects to the computer) very faintly blinks -- it's barely visible to the eye.
    Any suggestions on fixes?
    Many thanks!

    Contact the manufacturer of the fan for their expertise.

  • Adobe Pro X PDFMaker plugin crashes Lotus Notes

    Hi. We are having several issues with Adobe X Pro PDFMaker plugin crashing Lotus Notes 8.5.3 when trying to convert single or several mails to PDF. Either the mails are skipped, or Lotus Notes crashes.
    IBM Lotus Notes Support have replied with this when we raised a problem ticket:
    The crash occured in 3rd party application from Adobe. From our side we can only tell you that you should disable the following
    line in Notes.ini tp prevent the crashes:
    AddInMenus=C:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\ACROBA~1.0\PDFMaker\Mail\LOTUSN~1\PDFMLO~1.DLL 
    If you want to use this tool you should contact Adobe to solve the problem. 
    So would like to enquire what is the cause of this crash and whether anyone else faces this problem with Adobe PDFmaker?
    According to Adobe link, Acrobat X Pro PDFmaker is supposed to be compatible with Lotus Notes 8.5.x versions.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi pwillener thanks for your advise, but our version is Adobe X 10.1.10 Middle eastern, North African & greek version, and the 10.1.13 update does not seem to work.

  • I HAVE PURCHED THE ADOBE PRO AND AM HAVING PROBLEMS PRINTING

    WHY AM I NOT ABLE TO PRINT?

    Hi carson0427,
    Please tell us a bit more. Are you on Mac OS or Windows (and what version)? What are you printing to (type of printer, whether it's local or on a network)? Are you able to print from other applications? What happens when you try to print from Acrobat? Do you get an error?
    Once we know a bit more about your system and the specifics of the printing issue, we should be able to point you in the right direction for a solution.
    Best,

  • I reinstalled my computer because it was too slow, and Safary icon has a ? question mark on it in the dock, i  pulled it out with the hope that  i can bring it back from the application, but the icon could not be found in the application. Pls help me.

    Could you pls help me? i reinstalled my computer and the Safari Icon has a ? mark on it in the dock, I pulled it out and it disappeared, I checked for this icon in the application folder but couldnt find it there.  So for me to go on Internet i have to open Firefox first. 2. The message Java Plug in has been disable appeared immediatle after the reinstallation. I need help from the community pls.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I think that your Mac detects your hard disk, but the problem is that your new hard disk doesn't contain any operating system, so your Mac doesn't find any bootable partition and you see a question mark.
    If your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. Then, just install Mac OS X. If the hard disk isn't prepared to install Mac OS X, you will have to erase it using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html

  • Opening an application from other application causes time out - urgent...

    Hi All,
    I have a wierd issue using weblogic server 9.2 mp2.
    Here is the breif overview of the environment and issue.
    Environment: WLS - 9.2 mp2
    In this weblogic server i have two Managed servers.
    Managed Server 1 : MS1
    Managed Server 2 : MS2
    Two Applications deployed on the server.
    myapp1 on MS1 URL: http://myappserver:7309/myapp1
    myapp2 on MS2 URL: http://myappserver:7310/myapp2
    Now here is the issue.
    I launch myapp2 from myapp1 using javascript window.open()
    In this configuration when i launch myapp2 from myapp1, myapp1 times out.
    Now when i deploy both app on same managed server (say MS1) and launch myapp2 from myapp1, myapp1 does not time out.
    I deployed myapp1 on my local machine and launched myapp2 and it works fine. It times out only when both apps are on same weblogic server but different Managed server.
    any pointers would be greatly helpful.
    Regards,
    B

    Hi James,
    Are you sure the ports are correct in the javascript link when the apps are deployed to different managed servers?
    Yes i made sure the port number is currect.
    Have you tried using absolute URL's instead of relative links?
    Yes i am putting the absolute URL.
    When you say the timeout occurs, where are you observing this timeout, in the browser or something in the server logs?
    I can see the time out in the browser. I checked the server log but it does not say anything.
    Hope it clears the air.
    Regards,
    B
