How do I get my PPD to Adobe ?

When I am printing out of illustrator (and Photoshop for that matter) I cannot choose the PPD option of Adobe (8.0 etc).
Could anyone enlighten as to how I get this setting ?

Hi, Wade.
I usuall DO print to a .ps file first and then distill, but when choosing to Print to Postscript, I still always pick the Adobe PDF as my PPD of choice (gives borderless layout, etc.)...but, as described, that PPD option is not available in CS5 in Snow Leopard.
Do we just pick the "device independent"? Or is there still some way I'm missing to restore the Adobe PDF PPDs for the sake of Postscript file creation?
Thanks,
Mike Schwabauer

  • Acrobat 7, needed with FrameMaker 7: How do I get and install an "Adobe PDF printer instance?"

    In FrameMaker, when I try to save a FrameMaker file as a PDF file, I get the following message: "FrameMaker could not find Adobe PDF printer instance, which must be installed to execute "Save as PDF" command".  I have a sinking feeling that I deleted that printer instance from my list of printers, thinking I did not need such a printer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FrameMaker 7, Acrobat 7 and Reader 9. All reinstalled successfully, EXCEPT still no Adobe PDF printer instance. Thus my question: how do I get and install that Adobe PDF printer instance?
    .( I am using a new computer. I still have my old computer available, with the Adobe PDF printer instance on it. If I could find where in the old machine (Windows XP)  the files are for it, I could copy them to the new machine).
    Thanks in advance  for any advice.

    Just curious,
    What is the new machine's OS (& is it 32-bit or 64-bit)?
    Be well...

    Jodie84,
    I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
    Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.

  • How do I get help reinstalling my Adobe creative suite 6 after IMAC IOS 10.8 crashed?

    How do I get help reinstalling my Adobe creative suite 6 after IMAC IOS 10.8 crashed?  Apple had to reinstall operating system and all programs & data were lost.  Adobe System say serial number valid, but qualifying product can not be found on this computer.

    When you're installing Adobe upgrades, there are two ways of doing it:
    Have an existing, qualifying version already installed. Install the upgrade and enter your upgrade serial number. The installer will detect the earlier qualifying version already installed and the upgrade will finish installing. That is not your scenario.
    The second option (and easiest on new computers with no Adobe software previously installed) is to simply install the latest version (usually an upgrade) and enter your upgrade serial number. That's what you've done so far.
    The installer will look for an earlier version already installed on your computer. If it cannot find one, it will prompt you to enter the serial number from an earlier version. Once you enter the earlier qualifying version serial number, the upgrade installer will complete the installation. If you cannot find an earlier version serial number then the upgrade will not be licensed and will go into trial mode. From there you can use it for 30 days until it will no longer launch.

  • PPD field grayed out.....How do I get the PPD field populated?  Windows 7 x64

    I have an employee running Illustrator in the Creative Cloud and for whatever reason her PPD field is grayed out when she goes to print.  My other two employees running this both have the Fiery file for the printer we have as an option.  Any idea how I can get the PPD field populated?

    Permissions issues on the PPD files or the printer... Or the driver has never been fully installed in the first place due to whatever technical or again permissions issues...

  • How do I get the Converting to Adobe PDF process to stop hanging?

    I installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on a machine running Windows 7 Professional 64bit.  I have tried creating PDFs from MS Office files (using the Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar).  I have also tried printing to Adobe PDF, from within MS office but also elsewhere (e.g. IE, Notepad).  No matter the creation method, I am prompted for a file name and location and then the Acrobat PDFMaker window appears with a taskbar and message "Coverting to Adobe PDF..."  The process hangs there and a print job appears in the Adobe PDF printer with a status of "Error - Printing."  How do I get the process to stop hanging and successfully create PDFs?

    FWIW, a former colleague was also frustrated with this "Error - Printing" hang-up problem, when printing from any app to Adobe PDF, with Acrobat Pro 9.3.0 on a Win7x64 system. I recall forum threads on that issue, with no clear resolution?. What did work on every print job, though, was the two-step method: (a) Print to File with Adobe PDF, then (b) fire up Acrobat Distiller 9 to convert the intermediate .prn Postscript file. (It would seem that Acrotray wasn't functioning properly in a x64 environment?...though it did run as one of the pc startup processes)
    As that two-step method was acceptable for his workflow, he never explored the possibility of getting a fluent one-step PDF creation by upgrading to the highest available v9x version, or beyond.

    Are you sure that it comes from Adobe?
    Can you post a screenshot of what you get: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
    There are many fake pop-ups that will most likely infect you with malware if you let it install.
    Only download Adobe updates from adobe.com or macromedia.com websites.

  • How do I get the Codec for Adobe Premiere 6.5?   I have old AVI files I need to edit in a Premiere Elements 9 program.

    I have older AVI files from Premier 6.5.  I need to edit them in Elements 9, how do I get that old codec? 

    Thank you for your response.  When I said I had tried Camtasia, I meant that I had tried to import the files into Camtasia.  However, Camtasia,  like Premier Elements, will NOT allow me to import these older Matrox AVI files into their editing programs.  These older Matrox AVI files will playback fine in a program I downloaded called "GomPlayer",   Today I discovered that GomPlayer allows me to view the properties of the clip, and they are pasted below.  Hopefully, with this newer info, it will help me with my capture sistuation.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • How do I get rid of an adobe textbox that shows up every time I open Firefox?

    Adobe  installed an update, I believe to my flashplayer and when it was  finished, every time I opened my google page(Mozilla) I got a big box that said  Adobe installer. There was no way to remove it so I went to add/delete  programs and found the installer program and deleted it. Now instead of  the Adobe installer box, I get a text box that says that the following  path cannot be found.  C\Documents+and+Settings\user\Application+Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profil  es\3oq0kps1default\extensions\{E2883E8F-472F-4fb0-9522-AC9BF3716A7}\ch  rome\content\getPlusPlus_Adobe_reg.exe
    This happens every  time I open Mozilla. I get rid of the box by either hitting "OK" or the X  at the upper right hand corner of the text box. Then the box goes away  and Google opens.
    I want to get ride of this box.  How do I do it.
    Thank you.

    For future Flash Player updates, to get around that download manager, download the installer directly from http://http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

  • How do I get rid of embedded adobe reader process windows and taskbar icons?

    In the lastest versions of Adobe reader I've come across the issue of finding an adobe task bar icon and a small adobe reader process window for each PDF document that I have open witin an Internet explorer tab. This is driving me crazy. At first I thought it was jut an issue with the machine that I'm on, but I have now seen this happen in multiple computers. Anyone have any ideas on how to keep these from clogging my screen and taskbar?
    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Internet Explorer version 10.0.9200.16686, and Adobe Reader 11.0.4.

    Group similar buttons on the taskbar
    Taskbar buttons represent open programs on your computer. When you have several programs  open at once, the taskbar might seem crowded with buttons. To help organize the taskbar and save space, you can group similar taskbar buttons so that all of the open files from one program are grouped into one taskbar button, like this:
    Grouped taskbar buttons  
       Open Taskbar and Start Menu Properties by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Taskbar and Start Menu. 
    Select the Group similar taskbar buttons check box so that it is checked. (To turn off grouping, clear the Group similar taskbar buttons check box.)
