Also check this out. Firefox10 was able to display the pdf document perfectly.
Now goto Firefox options and click print which invokes the printer print view and NOT the Adobe print view.
Also if you click the print preview a blank page is shown.

Unable to find Adobe PDF Printer

I am trying to convert a Word document into a PDF by right-clicking on a Word document and telling it to Convert to Adobe PDF. I keep getting the error message "Unable to find "Adobe PDF" printer or "Acrobat Distiller" printer. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?" I try to run the repair mode and it'll run the repair mode, but nothing changes. Also, I used to have an Adobe tab in my Microsoft Word program but that is gone. All of these problems started when I got a new computer that is running Windows 7. Any idea on how to fix this? Right now I'm having to use PDF Complete, but I'd rather use my Adobe!

No, but you might have to do some work to get AA8 to work on your system. The first step is to update it, currently at 8.3.1 (you have 8.0.0 that may be your issue). AA8 is not certified for use on Win7, but several folks have been successful getting it to run. However, you might run into hickups at times even if it does run. In the meantime, try opening the document in WORD and printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that works, you at least have a production method.
The next step is to figure out why PDF Maker is not working. For this, open the document in WORD and see if the Adobe menu appears. In WORD 2007 it will likely be the right most menu item named Acrobat (that is on my WORD 2007 system with AA8, though this is a VISTA machine). If that menu does not appear, then the Adobe macro in WORD needs to be enabled.
If the printer is not running, then further work is needed. Let us know what the current status is and then we can go from there.

Unable to find adobe pdf printer or acrobat distilelr printer

this message appears when i try to convert a word file to a pdf file. its was working for years and now i keep getting this message,
please help dan

Ok, then yesterday, something or someone deleted the Adobe PDF printer. This is alarming, especially if you don't remember doing it, but may be easy to fix.
You may be unaware that the printer driver called "Adobe PDF" is vital, and nothing to do with printing. When you choose this printer and "print" to it, it makes a PDF. This works with all Windows apps that can print, and is the normal way to make a PDF.
When you use Acrobat's special add-on for making PDFs from Word, it uses Adobe PDF behind the scenes, so there is no getting away from it.
My suggestion to try first is a REPAIR of Adobe Acrobat. Start Acrobat and look for REPAIR in the HELP menu. (Reboot may be needed). If the repair is a success, it will put back the Adobe PDF printer, and conversion will work again.

Can't create Adobe PDF printer on Win7 64 bit

I'm running a newDell Optiplex 990 with Windows 7 64 bit in a large company. Our IT guy just installed CS6 and everything seems to work fine -- EXCEPT - when we go to Devices and Printers/Add printer, there's no Adobe PDF driver (are they still called drivers?) to install as a printer.
We've reinstalled/repaired Acrobat Pro 10 several times and it still doesn't appear. We've never gotten a message indicating a problem.
I've done a lot of searching on this forum and elsewhere and found what seems to be the answer for many people which I'll copy here. Please note that when we get to bullet #4, there's nothing like Documents\*.pdf (Adobe PDF) to select -
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
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, then click the OK button
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)
Name your printer, e.g. Adobe PDF
Follow the rest of the prompts and your PDF printer should now be installed correctly
Two additional details that may be significant:
1. We dug into the folder mentioned in bullet #8 but there wasn't an Xtras folder. I have a similar system at home and was able to find the Xtras folder. I copied that and placed it into the same spot on my work PC but no luck.
2. Our IT department is rolling out Viewfinity in order to lock down PCs from users installing "stuff". The IT guy who did the install was logged in as an admin but still was unable to install Adobe PDF.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -

(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Adobe PDF Printer and Adobe Distiller Printer, from where to get these?

I installed Acrobat 7.0 Professional from the CS2 suite. During installation a message came up, "Warning 20225, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 set up was unable to create a new item: The Adobe PDF Printer Converter may be unavailable.
Get last Error: The specified module could not be found."
To convert WORD files to pdf I get "unable to find "Adobe PDF Printer or Acrobat Distiller" printer. I have run the installer in repair mode several times without success. Where from and how do I get the Adobe Printer and/od Distiller printer from. I have searched the Adobe web site with out success. Please help anyone who can.

Yes, the software was installed while logged in as administrator,
anti-virus was disabled too. I first installed AA7 using my original disc
and the same messages came up and the same problem existed i.e.. could not
convert to PDF. Uninstalled the software and installed again using the
serial no given to me by ADOBE help,CS2. Nothing seems to work.

Startdoc fails on Adobe PDF printer

I am doing an hdc.startdoc on the Adobe PDF printer. It fails with a pop up message that asks me to repair the installation or not. Previously, I had several other adobe products (Acrobat Reader 7, Photoshop Elements 5.0, and Flash) on my system and I got the same error, but sometimes it would pop up a dialog box saying that it was "Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files." and that it could not find C:\Documents and Settings\bevo.CAGI\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\&^*^*&^.joboptions. I researched this and there seemed to be conflicts with other settings files in other directory trees with other Adobe products. So I uninstalled ALL of my Adobe products, deleted the directories in Program Files\Adobe and Program Files\Common\Adobe and reinstalled Acrobat Std 9. Same pop up requesting to repair the installation, though I haven't seen the joboptions message again.
Help!

Just got off the phone with Adobe and found a cure.
Open print dialog box.
Go to Set up
the paper size: scroll to top and select defined by driver.
It worked for both the HP 8150 and Xerox Phaser 7700
I'm running CS3 on Mac Intel G5 OS X 10.5.5.

Adobe PDF Printer uninstalls

Hi,
I have Adobe Creative Suite - every couple of days the Adobe PDF printer uninstalls & is no longer available to use.

Does anyone have any idea why this might keep happening every couple of days?

that solves the problem

Hi. My new computer had Acrobat on it. Suddenly, I was unable to open any PDF's. and then I tried to update and was forwarded to the Adobe site that said I had to buy a monthly subscription. I do not have the physical box with a serial number and was going to buy the one advertised on the website until I discovered it's only for students and teachers, which I am not. What should I do next as I need to use PDFs on a daily basis. Thanks! I would like to be able to download this and pay online. Possible? I currently have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.

How do I deal with "Acces Denied" error when trying to print to Adobe PDF printer driver

Windows 7 64 bit OS (updated)
Adobe Acrobat XI (11.0.06.70)
I am unable to create a PDF file from within the Windows 7 print dialog. Each time, I receive a terse "Access Denied" error followed by the display below (the progress bar never advances). I thought upgrading to Adobe Acrobat XI might fix this but no such luck. It seems that others have experienced similar issues. I noticed in the display below that Adobe is trying to create the file in a folder which does not exist (at least I can't see it even after setting my preferences to display hidden files). I have the hope that, if the folder were present and accessible, Adobe would create the file without trouble. Is there a way to instruct Adobe Acrobat XI to create this temporary file in a different location? One of my frustrations is that I used to be able to print Adobe Acrobat files without trouble on the same computer. I wonder whether the use of a registry cleaner may have contributed to my problem.
What are the best practices for addressing the Access Denied and inability to print problems I've encountered?
Thanks for any help you can provide in sorting out this problem.
Best,
Matt

I have been having the exact same problem with Adobe Acrobat X. I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times and applied all the latest updates. Every time I try to print ANTHING to the Adobe PDF print driver, the software hangs (MS Office, webpage, or other programs). When I finally kill the process using Task Manager, I find the little "Access Denied" box. This has been happening for nearly one year. I have limped along since I have other computers to use. I have attempted to find answers on this forum in the past, and no one seems to have a clear answer to the problem.
I, too, was tempted to upgrade to XI, but Matt's post settled the matter, since it did not help him.
I am using Win 7 Home (64 bit) and until this issue started, I have had no problem with AA X.
Where are the Adobe experts when you need them? Please help us.

Adobe PDF Printer (Acrobat Pro 9.3.2) causes Print Spooler crash on Windows 7 64-bit

We have recently upgraded our office to Windows 7 64-bit. This upgrade has been very smooth with the exception of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. We are running Acrobat 9.3.2, I know there are a couple of additional updates available but they do not fix this issue if installed.
The problem occurs when users create documents using the Adobe PDF printer. The Print Spooler will crash, causing the application they are printing from to stop responding and they are forced to close the program. From this point onwards the user will be unable to print to any printer whatsoever, until they restart their computer. Stopping and starting the print spooler (clearing temp files as well) sometimes corrects the issue, but by the time they have found an admin to do this they may as well just restart.
I should note that this problem is not very consistent. It occurs sometimes after one PDF has been created, sometimes after they have created many PDFs, and sometimes not at all. It doesn't seem to matter which application they create the PDF from either. It's very irritating because I can't pin it down to anything in particular.
I've Googled a lot around this subject and I can see that I am not the only one with this issue, however there don't seem to be any solutions out there. This issue is widespread across our organisation and I would greatly appreciate any constructive suggestions on finding a resolution.
Many thanks, Steve.

Several months ago, I started working on this issue and thought that I had it resolved by uninstalling the "Internet Printing Client" from "Windows Features" (Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off > expand Print and Document Services > uncheck Internet Printing Client). This change seemed to help at the time, as I was then unable to reproduce the issue and the end-user was unable to reproduce the issue for two weeks after (thus I closed the help desk case). But now it looks like the issue is back. Maybe the above setting will help someone else, but I'm now looking for a permanent fix.
PS: I have instructed our users on the "Save as PDF" option provided in Office 2010, but I don't think that is used all the time, and the PDF printer is there only option in other applications (IE for example).
Anybody had this issue and found a fix?
Thanks,
Justin

Adobe pdf printer can't open log file

I am trying to print an Id cs6 file to a pdf file.
During the printing process, the progress indicator indicates it prints a book file to about page 23 (of 293) then I get an error message that says acrobat can't open the xxx.log file.
The printing progress indicator continues to indicate a file is being printed, but no file opens in acrobat at completion.
I expect the program to ask me to name the output, and then to want comfirmation, in this case, to replace the existing file.
This process worked until last night. I was trying to make a PDF to upload to create space. The file create space got has photos and images with too low resolution. Not sure why that's happening either. I think Adobe is printing screen resolution images. I went into the adobe presets in the file drop down menu to try to increase resolution, and since, have been unable to print. I probably did not fix the image resolution problem either.
THe error message likely involves a conflict between two parts of the program. It's not accurate at face value. Any suggestions to fix it?
Thanks
Roy

I have displayed the captures of the screens that I got to when I looked at the printer properties for the Adobe PDF printer. I am looking at the properties in AA8 and there is a chance they are different in AA9.

Unable to find Adobe PDF resource files since SP3 installed

We have a user who is sure since XP Service Pack 3 was installed that he cannot print to PDF. Once he clicks Print he gets an error stating
Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files
"C:\...\Adobe PDF 6.0\Settings\Adobe PDF Converter.joboptions"
Running the installer in repair mode does not work. Reinstalling the whole thing does not work. However when I log in as an admin user the issue does not occur at all. It is Acrobat Standard 6 by the way.
Thanks

Does this occur if you are logged in as the administrator? Have you updated AA8 to the latest version? You very likely need the latest version to run on Win 7, particularly since AA8 is not certified for Win 7. If you have a 64-bit system, there is no question that you need to update.

Problem printing files to Adobe PDF printer using VBA

I have an Excel project. Part of the code prints the active sheet range as a PDF file. Later code then sends the PDF file as an e-mail attachment. The Code was originally written using the free application PDFCreator and works as intended. However the client wants to use the Acrobat "Adobe PDF" printer instead.
Each PDF must have a name as specified in the code and must be sent to a specified folder, again as specified in the code.
The Adobe PDF printer insists on 1) using the path specified in the printer preferences and 2) naming it as the workbook name + .pdf.
I have checked the Distiller API reference and it tells me that if a key is set, the output path and name can be controlled. However, setting the key as described does not work. The PDF printer ignores it and creates another key named as the output file with a REG_SZ value that is numeric and increments each time print is invoked.
Attached is a screen shot of the registry entries.
What am I doing wrong?

I have.
However, I think I have solved this.
First, I am using Win 7 64 bit, so the application is not excel but c:\windows\splwow64.exe. I've modified my code so that both XP 32 and Win7 64 are catered for.
Second, the print command I used in VBA was
ActiveSheet.Printout ActivePrinter:= "Adobe PDF"
It looks like that starts a different Adobe DF printer to the one that would look at the registry. If I change the code to
ActiveSheet.Printout
and set Adobe PDF as the default printer in control panel, the whole thing works as planned.
All I need to do now is to set the printer to Adobe PDF within the code so the user doesn't have to do this in Control Panel. Obviously, my approach above didn't work, so what is the way to do this?
Here's the sub routine as it stands at the moment:
Public Sub PrintUsingAcrobat()
    Dim strOutFile As String
    Dim PDFPath As String
    Dim FileName As String
    Dim XPApplic As String
    Dim X64Applic As String
    XPApplic = Application.Path & "\excel.exe"
    X64Applic = "C:\Windows\splwow64.exe"
    Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE As Long = &H80000002
    Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER As Long = &H80000001
    Dim lRC
    Dim sPath
    Dim objRegistry
    PDFPath = outpath ' outpath is a global variable set elsewhere
    strOutFile = Range("Suppliername") & ".pdf"
    FileName = PDFPath & strOutFile
    Set objRegistry = GetObject("winmgmts://./root/default:StdRegProv")
    sPath = "SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl"
    lRC = objRegistry.SetStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, sPath, XPApplic, FileName)
    lRC = objRegistry.SetStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, sPath, X64Applic, FileName)
    ActiveSheet.PrintOut
    DoEvents
End Sub

Firefox10 was unable to invoke adobe pdf print preview where as Firefox 3 was able to do this.
