Having Multiple Adobe PDF printers with different output settings

Hello,
My company is using Adobe Acrobat X and XI on Win 7 Pro, and we would like to create 2 separate Adobe PDF printers that have 2 different output settings. So I installed a second Adobe PDF printer using the same Adobe Converter Driver as was used to install the first one. Then, I went into Devices and Printers and I edited the printing preferences of one Adobe PDF printer, but what I found was when I changed the preferences of one printer, it automatically changes the other one as well. Is there a way around this?

Thanks for pointing me to the iTunes Folder Watch program. It looks like this will solve my immediate needs. It's a little clunky in spots, but does handle adding new files very well. And it only cost about $10 to get the fully functioning version with the automatic monitoring in the background.
I copied the iTunes library files to each account, setup a watch folder that points to the location of the iTunes library content and all the music syncs up perfectly without duplicates. I have yet to test the applications, but music, movies, TV Shows, audiobooks, and podcasts all work fine.
If anyone else is considering this product, just make sure you double check your file location in the iTune settings to make sure each account is pointing to the same location and is organizing the content in the same way or else the individual account libraries will fight against each other to organize all the content where it is configured to put it. Copying the library files isn't enough since some of these settings are in the Windows Registry.
I made this mistake at first. I had all the accounts pointing to the same folder, but one of them (the original) had the "Upgrade to iTunes Media Organization" turned on which categorizes all content into folders based on type such as music, movies, podcasts, etc. Since the others were organizing just based on artist and album this caused the accounts to try to reorganize the files when Folder Watcher would tell it there were new files to manage.
All in all, this solves most of my concerns, but I'm still surprised Apple hasen't added this natively into the iTunes product. Especially when this guy figured out how to write the software to do it and is only charging about 10 bucks to do it. Well I hope this guy makes a million bucks off his little product bacause he surely deserves it!

Saving spool request with multiple Adobe PDF files to local directory

Hi,
I have a spool file with multiple Adobe PDF files in it. You can only save the spool content to local directory by opening and save each PDF files. Does anyone know whether there is a way to combine all the PDF files within a spool into one big PDF file?

Are you using any plugins, like PDFlyer?

Duplicate Adobe PDF printers won't hold page size setting

I'm running Acrobat Professional 9.1.1 and 8.1.3 on two separate Windows XP Professional SP3 computers.
We have an Excel 2003 spreadsheet that we're trying to print to PDF on A4 paper size. When printing from Excel, we select the Adobe PDF print driver, click Properties, then change the Adobe PDF Page Size setting to A4. We double-checked under the Paper/Quality tab to make sure the size stuck, and it did. When it actually finishes creating the PDF, however, it's still Letter sized. The only way to make force it to create A4 is to go into Printers & Faxes and change the default size there...which is way too much work to have to do every time we need to change paper sizes. I would think it would be possible directly within the print dialog box (otherwise, why would they bother including it there?).
I thought I could do a work-around and duplicate the Adobe PDF print driver with a different name and set the duplicate to A4 size while the regular one would be at Letter size. This works fine when I'm logged in as an administrator. If I log into my computer as a general user however, the duplicate driver shows up, but even when we go into Printers & Faxes and set the paper size to A4, the size doesn't stick when selecting that duplicate print driver when printing from Excel. The same scenario recreates itself on any computer here, whether using Acrobat 8 Pro or Acrobat 9 Pro.
Any thoughts on this?

I already described how to get rid of that months ago.
It rely upon a bit of surgerty.
ctrl + click the Pages icon to get the menu item "Show package contents"
Navigate in the package to open the
<startupVolume>:Applications:iWork '09:Pages.app:Contents:Resources:Templates:
folder.
Then, ctrl click the template of your choice .
You will reach two files :
index-iso.xml.template
and
index-trad.xml.template
Duplicate both of them for safe.
Delete the file entitled
index-iso.xml.template
then rename
index-trad.xml.template
as
index-iso.xml.template
As the computers are dumbs, yours will be fooled and will use the file named index-iso.xml.template whose contents will be the index-trad.xml.template one.
Apply the scheme to every template which you really use.
If I remember well, I wrote a script applying this process to every templates delivered in the box but I'm too lazy to search for it.

Adobe pdf 8.0 not outputting correct page size from publisher 2007

i have windows vista home premium with microsoft office 2007. microsoft publisher is not outputting the correct page size when converting to pdf. In Word 2007 i have the document size 4.5 x 6, and if i convert with the adobe add in, the new pdf is exactly 4.5 x 6. In publisher i have a postcard size 8 x 5, when i print to pdf or convert using the converter, it sticks the postcard in the center of an 8.5 x 11 page with crop marks. I can't work with this, i need the pdf to output the exact page size as the microsoft publisher document. i've tried changing page sizes in page setup in the publisher print dialog box as well as the advanced settings in pdf. it doesn't make a difference. it always prints on 8.5 x 11 and centers the postcard in the middle of the page. any help is appreciated

Think of the paper size in publisher (and likely the printer options) as the setting that Publisher is trying to produce when printing. Think of the paper size in the Adobe PDF printer properties as actually putting the proper paper in the printer. If you do not do the latter, you will get the printout properly sized in terms of your setup and printed on 8X11 paper that is put in the printer. They selection of the paper in a printer is not typically an automatic feature of print drivers. One is the sizing issue of the application and the other is the actual paper that is used. If you printed to actual paper, you would actually put in the 8X5 paper or whatever in your printer. If you used 8X11 paper in the printer, then you would likely get the same result you have in the PDF.
There may be two convert options in Publisher (depending on the version of Publisher). One would be PDF Maker, the Adobe add on. The other would be a convert to PDF provided by MS. The latter started coming with OFFICE 2007. Also, with OFFICE 2007 you needed a newer version of Acrobat to get the Adobe PDF Maker (AA8 I think was a minimum). If you use PDF Maker, then you have to select the printer properties in PDF Maker for the paper.
I just did a test sample with AA5 (sorry, that is what is on this machine - but I am sure I would get the same result on my other machines). I created a word processor document with a 5X8 dimension and printed to the margins (set to 1 in). I then printed to the Acrobat Distiller printer (the old name for the Adobe PDF printer) after setting the page to a custom 5X8. The end result of the PDF was a PDF that was 5X8 with 1 in margins of my printing as I had selected. I thus printed with a custom page size in my document and matching page size in the printer properties, getting the expected result. However, I am getting inconsistent results when I try with WORD on this machine.
To be more helpful, I guess I am going to at least have to try my AA7 on my notebook with OFFICE 2003. Those are both behind your version levels, but I would expect the results to be the same. I will also try with my word process that worked out fine here, but did not retain the paper size setting in the driver, when WORD would not allow the size reduction (that is the inconsistency I mentioned!).
I will report back later. Bill

How to set up a pdf embeded with different code so that people can get different excess code after they paid on-line?

For example, I want to set up a pdf embeded with code, and send it on-line. People who want it should pay for it first and get the access code. I need to set different access code in order to avoid people A give the access to people B.

Unless you use a very expensive DRM protection measure, I don't see how it's possible. How can you prevent someone from sending a file with the password to someone else?

How do I convert an Adobe pdf file with sound assist for the visually impaired to use the keyboard to play audio?

I am trying to convert an Adobe pdf article file with a play button to an iTunes or other accessible file for people with visual impairments. The file has been converted to a format that has a play button; however, the computer does not have a keyboard stroke that leads to the play button. In other words, the play button isn't integrated into the accessible format; only sighted people can access the play button. The individual is using an Apple laptop.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks!

I can not print an PDF using the Adobe PDF-Printer with Acrobat DC

Hi all,
i installed the Trial of Acrobat DC but it dont let me use the Adobe PDF-Printer well, because i cannot print from any third-party-application using Adobe PDF.
I tryed to print from within Word, Editor and Browser and selected the Adobe PDF-Printer as target, but at 75% both, the Application from which i print and the PDF-Creating-Wizzard are freezing (for hours) and i need to kill the procesed. No PDF-File is created. Same Problem with trying to print a Testfile from within the Windows-Printer-Dialogs.
Only Adobe DC cause this issue, if i use freeware like Bullzip PDF the files get created successfully, so i assume its not a generally problem with PDF on my system.
What could be the problem? (pls dont say its because of the trial, a trail should allow to test all features and Why should i buy a programm if it cannot do what a freeware can do?)

Hey Daniel,
Have you tried repair Adobe Acrobat DC?
If no, then please repair the installation under Help menu.
This could also happen due to an Adobe Acrobat DC installation file corruption. To resolve this issue :-
Uninstall Adobe Acrobat DC using the Acrobat cleaner utility.
Restart your computer.
Re-install Acrobat Acrobat DC Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC.
Let me know if the issue persist.

Having problems combining PDF files with electronic signatures...

I have Adobe Pro XI and I've been trying to combine numerous PDF files. They are each 2 pages and contain electronic signatures. When I attempt to combine them it appears to be working and then suddenly Adobe just closes with no error message or anything??

Think about it: You sign a document and then someone adds some pages to it
and pretends you signed those as well. You wouldn't what that to happen,
would you? Well, with digital signatures it can be prevented.

How do I continue to be able to download Adobe pdf files with FF4.0 as I was able to with all previous version?

With FF 4.0 I can no longer download Adobe pdf files. At any website when I click the pdf icon something is displayed about a plugin-handler and nothing further happens - there is either no download or the download stops. Sometimes a partial frame of the pdf frame displays but nothing further happens. I never had this problem with previous versions of FF.

You must be doing something wrong, or perhaps Windows 7 is interfering. Here's the step-by-step process:
Launch LabVIEW 2009.
Open an 8.6 VI. It should show up with an asterisk in the title bar.
Make some changes.
Select File -> Save for Previous Version.
Verify that "8.6" is selected in the dropdown.
Click "Save...".
In the dialog click the "Save" button to accept the default of saving the VI into a new folder called "<VI Name> Folder".
Close the VI. When asked if you want to save changes click "Don't Save".
Check the timestamp on the newly created file in that folder.
Open the same 8.6 VI again.
Make some changes.
Select File -> Save for Previous Version.
Verify that "8.6" is selected in the dropdown.
Click "Save...".
The "File name" textbox should have the same default name as previously. If you click "Save" Windows should move you into that folder, and the save dialog should remain open. The file listing should contain the VI.
Click on the "Current Folder" button. You should get a dialog warning you that the operation will save over existing files. Click "OK" to continue. The VI will be saved as the previous version over the previous save that was done. To verify this, check the timestamp on the file.
I just did the above on LV2009 running under XP just so I could get the button names correct.
You can repeat steps 10-16 as many times as you want without needing to create a new folder.

Does anyone know how my clients can sign my adobe pdf invoice with a signature pad

Does anyone know how i can have my clients sign my adobe pdf digital signature field on my contacts on site with a signature pad?

Make sure you click in the text box for username and password to bring up the keyboard.
Try powering off your iPad by holding the power button and sliding the red slider when it appears, or try resetting your iPad by holding the power and home buttons together until the apple logo appears.
I would also highly recommend an app for facebook, it's called MyPad.

Multiple profiles with different cache settings

I want to have multiple profiles with different settings for the cache. I'll call them ProfileOne and ProfileTwo for simplicity's sake. ProfileOne I want to clear its cache on exiting Firefox and on ProfileTwo have it retain its own cache. I have already setup both profiles and configured them accordingly with ProfileOne's privacy settings for Clear History > Cache checked so it clears on exit and ProfileTwo is not set to clear anything on exiting.
The main issue is that after doing something with ProfileTwo then switching to ProfileOne, upon exiting ProfileOne it also deletes ProfileTwo's cache. I have tried using the profile manager to create the profile in a different location than default to no avail. Is there any way to set it so ProfileOne's cache can still be cleared on exit without affecting ProfileTwo's cache?

After checking a few different options, it looks like the add-on Better Privacy provides the options I need for LSO management and does separate HTML cookies from Flash cookies nicely and lets me save specific site's LSOs. Thanks for the assistance!
