How can I set 'Adobe PDF printer' as one of my printer choices?

I've given it half an hour. Can't seem to figure out how I can set 'Adobe PDF printer' as one of my printer options. I'm not sure if I need to download an Adobe file, and what folder I might need to place it in, and if I also need to add a specific driver.
I'm trying to create a PDF file that printers and outfits like www.lulu.com will accept. Printing an MS Word document via 'Adobe PDF printer' will allow me, I'm told, to produce a suitable PDF file.
Ideally I'm producing the original document in Pages - but I've been told by printers and lulu.com et. al. that no one out there likes PDF's produced by Pages ("not professional").
Any suggestions you might have would be most appreciated...

I downloaded the Lulu Adobe PDF joboptions file ... but it didn't come with any instructions on how to install or use it. I just have the file. I opened it with a double click and got Adobe Distiller - and I can 'see' what the settings are, but I'd love to understand how to install it so it becomes a selection when I export from Pages.
Forget the Lulu instruction about double click to install. Quit Acobat Distiller and Acrobat Pro. Move the Lulu joboptions file to the Adobe PDF Settings folder. The path to it is:
HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Settings/
or
HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/
You're in the right folder when you see other joboptions files already in the Settings folder.
Next, launch Pages and open your document.
From the File menu, select Page Setup. In that window, select Adobe PDF 7 for "Format for," choose your paper size, orientation and scale % and click OK.
From the File menu, select Print
In the Print window, be sure the Printer is Adobe PDF 7
Click on Layout for a pop down list and select PDF Options
To the right of "Adobe PDF Settings" click for a pop up list and select Lulu
Click Print

Sara,
It is not working. I wish to decline in having the pdf pack. How can I give up this purchase? I definitely do not want the Adobe PDF Pack anymore.
Who do I have to contact or what do I need to do to cancel this purchase?

How can I combine different pdf files in one?

Hi Flávia,
Adobe PDF Pack is an online subscription--it definitely allows you to combine several files into one PDF file. For more information about PDF Pack, see Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack. If you don't have the full version of Acrobat, this is a great solution for combining PDF files.
However, if you're using Acrobat (not Adobe Reader), you combine files by following these steps:
Open a PDF file that you want to add pages to.
Click the Pages pane on the Tools panel (on the right side of the application).
Click Insert From File, and choose the file that you want to combine with the PDF that you opened in step 1.
Make any changes necessary in the Insert Pages dialog box--these settings determine where the new file will be inserted.
Click OK.
Please let me know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How can I prevent Adobe PDF printer being set as default on first logon on a computer?

Hi all,
When a computer with either Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Adobe CS6 installed and a user logs on a computer for the first time the computer processes GPO's which define which print queues they are to use.
Unfortunately, once this is done, Adobe PDF Printer configuration kicks off, setting the Adobe PDF Printer as default. This is remedied by logging out and logging back in again, but this is annoying for the users (to say the least).
Since a lot of the users rarely use the same computer on a day to day basis, this is a common occurrence, and I would like to know how I can prevent the Adobe PDF printer from setting itself as default upon configuration.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Hi Cato-L,
Are you trying to do on single machine or multiple machines.
Have you got any solution yet.

How can I set the text feild in a form to print out the entire feild?

Right now it's only printing out what shows in the box, I want the box to expand when printed and show all the text entered in the field, how can I set it to do that?

I think that the font size has to be set in the form itself, not the FDF.

Formatting issues: when I open a msg, the font is sooo small you need a magnifier to read it. How can I set the font size to one I can easily read?

I have various formatting issues:

c. When I want to tell someone about a website, I cannot type the URL in so that all they have to do is click on it. How can this be fixed?
d. When I open messages, the text opens in a small window and covers the "Show Images" button. Why?

HT4356 How can I set the default to draft instead of normal printing?

I'd like to do most of my printing in Draft mode to save ink. How do I set that as the default, or even change it on the fly, when printing from the iPad Mini to an AirPrint printer? I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus.
Thanks!

I've got the printer's default set to draft and that works well for printing from the computer.
AirPrint seems to override that and always prints in Normal mode.

How can you combine multiple PDF pages into one searchable PDF page?

I have scanned multiple business cards and now have a PDF file with over 500 pages (or cards). I would like to be able and create a page with 8 cards to a page and is still searchable for text. Right now, the text is searchable. Basically have 63 pages and not 500.
Example:
If I wanted to find Joe Smith's card, I could search for "Joe Smith" and it would search all of the text and bring me to the page(s). Right now, it will bring me to that page. Is there a way to create a page where I can have multiple cards and the text is still searchable?
I tried to create a page in Photoshop, made 8 different layers with 8 different cards, but when saved, not only was the file way too large, but no text, or font, was detected and there was nothing to search for.
Is there an option to create a page in Acrobat Professional and put 8 cards to a page?
I have InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat Professional Pro.
Thanks,
mr19th

That sounds great, but I'm lost.
I followed these steps:
1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
2) Chose print
The print/printer options pop-up will show.
3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
Am I missing anything?

I have 20 ipads to hand out to teachers, all of them are using the same apps (purchased), I'm using 1 computer to configure them, I purchased 20 gift cards to purchase apps, how can I set up all 20 on one library using the gift cards to purchase the apps

My office purchased 20 ipads - and 20 gift cards, I'm setting up all the software on my computer using 1 itunes library.. I need to purchase 20 of the same apps to put on each of the ipads... how can that be done when you purchase the same app..itunes tells you that you the app is already purchased...

Another member pointed me toward the following site...it contains some great info...it's focus is on the use of iPad's in education....
http://ipadeducators.ning.com/
There is some discussion in there of device "cloning"..though I don't see how they can do that and at least not technically violate the iTunes Store EULA....(1 license can be used by 1 person on multiple devices, or by many people on one device). As I understand it, and as Michael indicated, the only way to do what you want and not violate the EULA is to have 20 different Apple ID's...what the "cloner's" have chosen to do is use the Educational VPP www.apple.com/itunes/education
purchase sufficient licenses for all users, allocate a license to one Apple ID, clone that image to other iOS devices, and simply record the fact internally that the additional license(s) have been allocated to other Apple ID's....I work in healthcare, and our legal department isn't comfortable with that approach, and I can't see it really being legally viable in education....unless their are different terms for educational institutions....

How can i set Adobe to open pdf from a secure website in the browser, it just pops up and asks to open save or download. we want it to just open the PDF directly in the browser with no popups, using IE 11

Hi,
We are running Internet explorer 11 with the latest version of Adobe Reader.
have found when users login to a secure website and it has pdf links on there, it doesnt open these pdf directly in the browser, it wants to save them and then open them.
is there anything we can change to allow them to be opened directly in the browser?
Thanks,
Cam
