How do I add the Acrobat Distiller Printer to my list of printers.

I have Adobe Acrobat 5.0 full version. I would like to know how to convert MS Works files to PDF files.
I keep getting the following message when I try to open a file as a PDF file.
When I open the MIcrsoft Works program and try to print ot the Acrobat Distiller it's not listed as you can see in the image below.
How can I had the Acrobat Distiller to my list of printers.
Please email with an answer Thanks.

Well those listed files you had were of no help. I did some more searching in an system I had and found the downloaded file Acro5.0.5.exe.
I searched for instances of the word Adobe and deleted them including folders. Also cleaned the registry as well then reinstalled the software from the afore mentioned file. Then re-registered the program. Now everthing is working fine, The Acrobat Distiller Printer is now shown in Printers and Faxes Control Panel.
I did some file conversions to PDF and the distiller is now listed as a printer source in the Print Menu of the file I am converting.
Thank for your help.

How do I get the Acrobat Distiller back?

Using FM10. Have to create a PDF file only occasionally. Always used the plug-in that came with FrameMaker. We decided to download the trial version of Acrobat X. Used it for awhile but didn't see any great advantages to buying it. For the work we're doing, the Save as PDF feature in FrameMaker worked just fine. So I deleted Acrobat X. Now the distiller is gone as well. I can no longer Save as PDF in FrameMaker. When I try, I get the error message, "To execute 'Save as PDF' command, you must have Acrobat Distiller version 5.05 or higher installed."
How do I get the distiller back?
We purchased and downloaded FrameMaker on-line so I have no CD.

Saving such files is good advice. As it turns out, I did save the download files at home. So that part is no longer an issue. Right now, the inability to create a pdf file is still the issue. I've made no progress there.
To summarize, here is the sequence of events so far:
- Deleted the trial version of Acrobat X Pro.
- Found that the Distiller was no longer there.
- On the advice of Dov Isaacs, above, re-installed FM10 from the original downloaded install files.
- Still unable to 'Save as PDF." A tps file is created.
- Re-installed FM10 once again, this time ensuring that the 'Install Adobe PDF Creation Add On X' was checked to install.
- After the install, double checked in the Control Panel to see that the add-on was installed.
- Still unable to create a PDF. FM goes through the gyrations and it does create a tps file, but somehow can't bring up the distiller to complete the process.
I have triple checked all of the settings and they are the same as I've always used. I'm thinking that there's some remnant of Acrobat left over that Frame is looking at and getting no response from. Maybe something in the Windows Registry. Oh my! Perish that thought! Might I next have to completely delete everthing associated with Adobe and start completely from scratch?

Disabling "Save as..." popup in Acrobat Distiller printer driver

Hi!
We are using an application which is automatically generating a pdf file using the Acrobat Distiller printer driver, but recently one workstation start poping up a Save as... window each time a file is generated (it is very annoying since this application is generating a lot of different reports).
How we could avoid having to confirm each time the name of the file? Registry setting?
Thanks.

Already did that.
If I remember correctly it was something in the registry... still searching.
Thanks.

Exporting pdf "acrobat distiller printer description not found" ERROR!

I just upgraded my g4 to tiger and I am running quark 5 on it. I can no longer export pdfs. I get an error saying "acrobat distiller printer description not found." I am stumped and I NEED to get this working!!
Anybody who knows how to fix this please let me know!
Thanks

You may need to re-install Adobe Acrobat Pro, assuming you need the functionality of Acrobat to create PDFs. To create simple PDF's there is a PDF menu on every print dialog box that does not require the Distiller printer description file.

How do I add a second hp printer to HP solution center

I am currently showing my older Desk jet HP 6380 printer in the HP solution center software as it should and it works fine. I have now added a HP Desk Jet 3052A printer to my office. Both printers are set up for wireless connection, both are 3 in one, and both printers work fine. I like using the HP solution center program to manage my printing / scanning. I want to add the new 3052A printer / scanner to the solution center so that I can switch between printers. How do I get both printers to show in the Solution Center software or can I?
running Vista O/S
Thanks

Hey Maxter. To do this you need to add a device from the software installation. Here is how you can do that:
If you do not have the downloaded software, you can find the setup source located within the HP Folder:
Open Computer.
Enter Drive C
Enter Program Files folder (If you have a 64 bit OS, enter Program Files (x86))
Enter HP folder
Enter Digital Imaging folder
You will see a random folder containing the installation source, you can recognize the folder by it's long name (the folder name should have a similar structure as {17016DA1-F040-4032-BD36-34DD317BC9D5})
Run Setup.exe and select Add a Device.
Let me know if this helped at all.
Thanks!

Do you not have a manual. Samsung also have one to one links in most major countries, though from my experience they aren't the best of companies to deal with.

How do you add the Adobe Add-In into Visio 2013?

I have used Adobe with Visio and created PDFs from older versions of Visio 2010 that have the layers in the PDF. I am unable to do this with Visio 2013. Can Adobe Acrobat XI Pro support layers for Visio 2013? how do you add the Adobe Add-In into Visio 2013?

Sabian,
My version of Visio 2013 is 64bit, that because my PC and most of the software is 64bit. When I try to install the add-in for Visio it had error message of not being compatible. I try your "Compatible web browers and PDFMaker applicatios" and notice that Visio 2013 64bit in not listed.
When I try Adobe Acrobat support they told me they don't support Visio 2013 64bit. They didn't say if or when they were going to support Visio 2013 64bit. They suggested I use the Acrobat community forum on "Acrobat Feature Requests" and request the add-in for Visio 2013 64bit. I am not happy with this.
Do you know of any third party PDF that supports layers for Visio 2013 64bit?

How can I add the controller name in the subject of Alarm emails? PI2.1

How can I add the controller name in the Alarm emails in PI2.1? This would make it much easier to scan the mailbox and see what devices are affected.

Thanx for your reply. No, although helpful, that's not what I meant. In outlook, the first line of the header contains the full username follow by a horizontal line. Under that, the default headers like To:, From:, Subject: etc follow.
I need that firstline printed so we know instantly from which user the email was printed (the To: field often is the same name of the sender of the mail, therefor you won't know WHO printed it...).

How do i get the acrobat tab to display in Word 2013?

how do i get the acrobat tab to display in Word 2013?
i have Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro for Windows. In Word, it's in the Add-Ins area, and set to display at startup, but it doesn't.

Are you running at least version 11.0.1 of Acrobat? Have you checked to make sure the add-on isn't on the disabled list for Word 2013? This is done under the Word Options button.
In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Disabled Application Add-ins list. The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.
In the Manage box, click Disabled Items, and then click Go.
Select the add-in and click Enable.
Click Close.

How do I download the adobe pdf printer

how do I install the adobe pdf printer? I'm working with adobe pro xi and can't find the printer. thanks.

You don't download it. If you are on Windows, it gets installed as part of Acrobat Pro. If you are on a Mac, it has gone, killed by Apple.

Messenger Express: How do I add the Directory Server to the address book search tool?

In Messenger Express (ME) how do I add the Directory Server (DS) to the address book
search tool?
<P>
Edit the globals.pl file. Look for a line similar to: <BR>
@dirservers = ('MyCompany::phonebook.foo.com::o=FooCorp.,c=US','Four11 Directory::ldap.four11.com::');
<P>
Add an entry to the list. The list is comma delimited and each entry is a
string. The string contains three fields, delimited by a double colon (::). The
first field is the name you want to appear in the User Interface (UI). The second is
the hostname of the DS and the third is the Distinguished Name (DN) to use when searching.
