How do I Install a PDF Printer Manually for Acrobat 6.0 Pro

My PDF Printer disappeared from my printer list. How can I manually re-install it? I tried following the directions given to another user for Acrobat 10.0 in this forum but was not successful with my 6.0 version. Can anyone help please? I really need my PDF Printer.

A repair can be done from the Help>Repair menu (at least I think that AA6 can do that). Sometimes the repair can be done from the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel, but you may need the CD in this case. You might also try just updating AA6 (now at 6.0.6) either from the help menu or by downloading the updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows (similar for MAC). For the downloads, be sure to install them in order and probably disable antivirus during the updates. You generally do not have to reboot until you have completed all of the updates.

  • How do I install the PDF printer in Acrobat Standard 10.1.12??

    Updated to Acrobat Standard 10.1.12 a week ago and noticed that no PDF printer was installed.  How do I install the PDF printer??

    Sara,
    Yes I’m running Windows 7 (64-bit).  I went to the web site and followed the Add Printer instructions.  I tried all of the Adobe PDF Converters and I got either one or the other of the two messages in the attached file.  I appreciate your help and hope you’ve got other ideas.  By the way, I’ve already completely un-installed Acrobat Standard X and reinstalled.  No joy.  When I got this PC I had to install this version of Acrobat on the machine and I had no problems like this.  I have also applied several updates to my original version of Acrobat Standard X and I never had this issue.  This issue just came about when I applied the 10.1.12 update.  But the un-install and re-install has not fixed the PDF printer issue.
    So, hope you’ve got some other magic.  It does seem like some needed Adobe software is missing or there is something else on my machine that is impacting the proper installation of the Adobe software pieces (or not allowing some pieces to install).
    Thanks for your help,
    Nick

  • How can I install the pdf printer when Win 7 doesn't offer the choice?

    Hi,
    I have Acrobat 8.0 Pro, and in XP I used to have an Adobe pdf printer in my printer's dropdown list, so that it was possible to convert anything in any application into a pdf document.
    Now I had to change the system, and I try to install a pdf printer. The Acrobat help simply says "in devices and printers chose the pdf printer". Yes, would be easyif it were at choice. But it isn't.
    I assume there must be a driver missing. Does anybody know anything about the what and where?
    Thanks for your help.

    AA8 works on VISTA and several folks have reported it working on 32-bit Win7 (I have only heard of 2 getting it to work on the 64-bit system). Adobe does not support AA8 beyond VISTA (actually they won't give much support on AA8 for anything anymore). If you were successful in the Win7 installation and Acrobat and Distiller both open, then there is a chance you will be able to get things taken care of. As I understand it, you can open Acrobat, but the updates in the help menu do not respond. In that case go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and download the updates for manual installation. If you start with the most current update, it will tell you on the download page the previous update that is required. That way you can go back through the updates and install the needed ones in order. Reboot after the last update only.

    how do I install dell v305 print drivers on my new macbook pro?

    Dell's drivers are only for Windows. If you can find out who makes the printer and what model it is, then you may be able to find OS X drivers for it. Or you can see how well it works using the Generic driver.

    How do i install the pdf printer

    And on what system? Using what version of Acrobat? Sounds like the typical "I have an Acrobat version from the stone age and want to install it on Win7/ Win8" and if that's the case, you should stop wasting time and just byuy a new license. Anything before Acro 9 is not compatible with these OSs.

    I want to be aple when ever I "print" to have a choice of my regular printer or PDF   I don't know how to install this on my dropdown..   

    Hi Donallenava,
    Mac OS X has PDF printing included right on the system. As you can see in this picture:
    So you shouldn't need to install anything at all.
    Hope it helps

  • Printing Properties for Acrobat 8.0 Pro not sticking

    Hi guys & gals,
    I have a user here that is running Windows 7 that has been having an issue with printing from Acrobat 8.0 Professional for some time and while it's not a huge issue, it is a bit annoying.
    Here's the scenario:
    She opens a PDF file, clicks on Print, selects the printer she wants to print to and clicks on "properties" to change it from say, 8.5"x11" to 11'x17" paper size, then she clicks "OK" which returns her to the main print window only to see that it still shows the original paper size. If she clicks "Properties" a 2nd time and changes the paper size again and hits OK then everything is fine until the next time she goes to print something and she has to go through changing the print properties twice again to get the settings to stick.
    It's not clear if this is an Acrobat issue or a Windows issue. Does anyone have any insights as to what might be going on here?
    Thanks!

    Hi Daniel,
    Thanks for the suggestions, but that didn't help. And yes Acrobat is updated and I even tried the "Repair Acrobat Installation" option all to no avail. 3 of us have looked into this issue and decided there is no fix. It's just something the user will have to live with. Oh and 1 correction, the computer is running Vista, not W7, however I don't think Vista is any worse at handling printing than 7 is, and since this happens regardless of if we print with the Postscript driver or the PCL6 driver, it's gotta be an Acrobat issue, not a Windows issue. Also just going into the list of printers and reselecting the already selected printer seems to also jolt it into suddenly showing the correct (changed) settings. Weird.

    I presume you mean that pop-ups are disabled. If you're using Safari, that setting is in the Safari Security preferences. For other web browsers, consult their documentation.

  • 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

  • How do I install a wireless printer

    How do I install a wireless printer on my I pad 2?

    Your printer needs to have a technology called AirPrint built in on it.
    If it has wifi built in, it has a chance of working, as no non-wifi printers have AirPrint built in.
    If it does, your printer can work with the iPad.
    If it doesn't, you can purchase software for your Mac or PC that uses your computer as a little passthrough to connect and print from your printer.

  • How do i install a new printer with no dvd?

    how do i install a new printer with no dvd?

    Hook it up and see if it works. If it is one of the more common printer brands/models, it could very well have it's drivers installed, depending on how your OS was installed. If not, you can always go to the support site for your printer and download the drivers, if necessary.
    What kind of printer do you have? What OS and how was it installed?

  • How do i install a brother printer on macbook

    How can i install a Brother Printer on a MacBook
    I do not know the IP address of the printer
    i have tried installing the Brother software but nothing seems to work

    Most Brother printers use Bonjour to advertise themselves to the subnet.
    So, you don't generally need to hardcode your printer's IP address.
    You can if you want to, though.
    When you installed the Brother software, what specifically did you install?
    Something off a CD, something you downloaded, what?  Is it on Lion or SL?
    Where is your MacBook relative to your printer, network-wise?

  • How do I add a "PDF printer"  print to PDF so that I can create PDFs from any source I can print ?

    How do I add a "PDF printer"  print to PDF so that I can create PDFs from any source I can print ?
    I am using ADOBE Reader X Thanks

    Pat;  using Windows you can create a "PDF printer" which is a virtual device that you can select when you want to create an Adobe PDF file from anything you normally would print to hardcopy.  As an example if I were on a webpage article that spanned two or three pages so a screen capture wouldn't really work, if I had a "Adobe PDF Printer" I would select that as my default printer and then print the webpage article.  Instead of the webpage article going to a real printer and producing hardcopy, the Adobe PDF printer would ask me for a file name and then "print" the file by creating an Adobe PDF file.  Does that help ?  Best regards,  Doug
