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.

  • How do I install a Adobe pdf printer?

    Upgrade from Acrobat Pro X to Pro XI destroyed my prior Adobe pdf printer. How do I reinstall the printer instance without reinstalling Acrobat XI?
    I found a reply for an earlier version of Acrobat, but I have no interest in installing the PDF printer into \Desktop or \Documents. Whatever it said to do didn't work and I've received no reply to my question posted on that old thread.
    So, how do I recreate the Adobe PDF printer, and, how do I do so while selecting where I want the .pdf files to be located?
    Thanks in advance for help

    What OS are you running? If it is a version of Windows, is it 32 or 64 bit? Are you using 11.0.0? Did you reboot after the install? If you did not reboot, then do that first. The next step is to run a repair and then do the updates (XI is currently at 11.0.03). Both the Repair and the Updates can be run from the Help menu.

  • How can I change the default page size for the Adobe PDF Printer?

    Hello All,
    I have cases where I need to switch the default paper size from 8.5x11 to 11x17 via api for the Adobe PDF Printer and have not been able to find how this can be accomplished.
    I am using C# .Net and would appreciate any help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Bob

    There is no Acrobat API for this, but so far as I know there doesn't need to be. The user can go change this from the Printers Control panel as needed. The Adobe PDF printer has some differences from regular printer drivers, but this isn't one of them.

  • How do I install the Adobe PDF Pack Desktop Printer

    How do I install the Adobe PDF Pack desktop printer?

    If you’re running the standalone version of FM, then the “headless” Acrobat comes with it; reinstall FM to repair that part. However, if you already had a full version of Acrobat installed, the FM installer may have screwed it up – you’ll have to uninstall all Acrobat(s) and reinstall.

    How do I download a Adobe PDF file and get it converted to a Word document?

    Download: you just download it as you would any other document.
    Convert to Word: either using the ExportPDF online service, or Acrobat.

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Aadesh

  • Accidently deleted the Adobe PDF printer from the Printer List

    Hi Guys,
    I have accidently deleted the 'Adobe PDF printer' from the Printer List and am now unable to print any files to PDF from any application.
    Any ideas of how to get it back?
    Cheers, Nosaj68.

    Hi Nosaj68
    Welcome to Discussions.
    1. In Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility, select Add printer and reinstall it.
    2. If you can't find this file, reinstall Adobe Acrobat and that should put it back again for you.
    If this solves your question, please consider awarding stars, by checking the helpful or solved button on the post. This is not a requirement, merely an expression of thanks.

    I have purchased Adobe Acrobat and my order number is 281998924. My previous Sony computer which used to Windows 7 crashed. I purchased a new Toshiba computer with Windows 8. How can I download the Adobe acrobat? I assume I don't have to pay for the program again? Thank you for all your help! Angelo.

    If you had purchased Acrobat Standard subscription.
    You need to download the application from below website :
    www.cloud.acrobat.com
    Sign in with Adobe ID and Password and once signed in click on Acrobat tab and download the application.

  • Avoiding the 'Save PDF File As' dialog when printing to the adobe PDF printer from a service

    Hello, can someone please help.
    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro installed.
    I have an in house application which (among many other things) effectively monitors a directory and prints the file to the default printer. It works fine when run as an application.
    I have set the defaults on the Adobe PDF printer to put the output PDF file into a directory and not to open it so it works silently without prompts.
    When I run my application as a service, it brings up the 'Save PDF File As' dialog and I would like to avoid this. My impression is that if I put the right registry key in then it will work.
    I do not want to do any scripting if I can avoid it.
    Thanks for all constructive help given.

    Thank for your help Bill, but changing settings in the distiller did not seem to work. As my application prints directly to the default application without using anything specific to Acrobat, I was hoping there was a simple way forward. A colleague suggested copying registry entries from the account I logged on as to the S-1-5-18 entry, then rebooting. This had no effect as the prompt still comes up.
    Aandi, I don't have the Acrobat SDK or any experience of it.
    Also I'm not sure where any code/script would sit since the application is stable and so I would rather not change it.
    If it amounts to a few lines of javascript sitting outside the application then that would be of interest.

  • Problem creating PDF file using the Adobe PDF printer

    Apologies if I have hit the wrong forum for this issue.
    I am using Adode Acrbat 9 PRO version 9.4.6 on a Windows 7 SP1 machine.
    I am running an application that presents information on web pages that I need to capture as pdf files. I am using an automation tool so it is limiting my posibilities of accomplishing this task.
    I am attempting to use the Adobe PDF printer as the vehicle to create these PDF files but have encountered the following issues
    The page is truncated on the right hand side
    Only 1 page is created when I was expecting 7
    I have specified a file path for the ADOBE PDF Output Folder      ...  C:\Windows\Temp  and
    checked the box "Add document information" but I am not given the opportuniy to enter a file name. It is using the file name from the URL
    To verify my PDF content I used a different method to create the PDF from the same web page
    Right click within the web page and select Convert to Adobe PDF. The pdf file has the full content with no truncation and is 7 pages in total.
    Unfortunately I am unable to use this method with my automation tool
    Any pointers will be gratefully received

    Some progess
    I changed the page orientation to landscape and that removed the truncation. I am not sure why it is not using the "shrink to fit" but for the purposes of this exercise I can live with this solution.
    If I click Print Preview I can view all pages and then if I select the Print Icon I get a PDF file containing all pages. This is so bizarre.
    So to recap
    File > Print > Adobe PDF Printer only creates 1 page
    File > Print Preview > Print Document (Alt +P) > Print >Adobe PDF Printer creates 7 pages
    I guess this would be a good time to call support to see what they have to say on this topic.

  • Now I can't print to the Adobe PDF printer

    At the same time I started having problems updating Acrobat (see my post yesterday, please), my Adobe PDF printer disappeared from system preferences. I've added it back using the help>repair option, but the printer no longer works.
    Every time I try to print, the printer pauses, then when I restart it and try to resume the document I get an error...
    Operation could not be completed
    Client-error-not-possible
    I've done a complete uninstall/reinstall of the whole Design Standard CS3 suite 3 times now, including removing my prefs and serial number (so starting from scratch), but this error, and the Acrobat updating problem, won't go away.
    Please can someone help me on these?
    Thanks, Nige

    Try going to Printer Utility and deleting any reference to the adobe Pdf Printer Driver.
    Then you find file anlocate all versions of PDF Printer. remove all traces of version Previous to this version.
    Now open Acrobat and got to help menu repair and replace and have it repair the Printer Driver again.
    Note: PDF Printer does not work within Acrobat nor Reader. only with other applications. (Or at least I've never been able to have it work within Acrobat/Reader.)

  • PDFMaker cannot locate the Adobe PDF Printer's printer driver. Please re-install Adobe Acrobat 10.1

    The following error message appears when I try to create a PDF in Publisher:
    PDFMaker cannot locate the Adobe PDF Printer's printer driver. Please re-install Adobe Acrobat 10.1.
    I have tried update patches to no avail.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thank you.

    This is the forum for Adobe Reader (not Acrobat). If you have Reader, you won't have that driver. If you have Acrobat, you'll want to ask in that forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat

  • Cannot print directly to the Adobe PDF printer

    Hi. I cannot print directly to the Adobe PDF printer since receiving my new computer. I use Acrobat 9 (updated to the latest patch today) on a 64-bit Win 7 computer. A colleague has the same set up and she can print to the Adobe PDF printer without any issues. Fyi, I have tried printing from Word, my email program, & webpages with the same result, which is that the document goes into the printing queue and then the process just stops. This wasn't an issue on my previous computer running the same Acrobat version but under Win XP.
    I have updated to the latest patch, and I have tried a repair installation of Acrobat with no affect. What am I missing?
    Thanks.

    Please check that when you print to PDF, the Save as dialog might goes in background. Watch for blinking icon in the taskbar at the bottom. Click the icon and give output PDF name.
    If this is the case then this is known problem at MS end. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2567869
    This problem comes when printing from 32bit apps on 64bit OS.

  • When I installed Acrobat 9, the Adobe pdf print driver did not install

    Might depend on the OS that you did not mention. Try doing the updates and see if that solves the problem. Otherwise, tell us more about your OS.

  • Can only print one page to the Adobe PDF printer "device".

    When I print to the Adobe PDF printer device I can only print one document.  When I print a second document I get the message "Adobe PDF Creation cannot continue because Acrobat is not activated."  However, if I reboot, I can again print a single document. 
    I'm running Windows 7 pro-64 bit.  I have Adobe Acrobat X pro, version 10.1.7 installed AND ACTIVATED.
    Any suggestions for solving this damn headache would be much appreciated.  I'm sure tired of rebooting to print PDFs.
      George Sundell

    OK, here are a couple of ideas to try....
    Go to Help and try Detect and Repair.
    If you have Acrobat, you can try to distill the document or try a Save As
