How to get Adobe PDF to show in Printer dialog

Hi,
I just installed CS2 on my new Dell Inspiron laptop with Windows 7.
I can't get Adobe PDF as an option in the print dialog box. The Acrobat help files have help on how to configure it once it is in there but no guidance on how to get it installed. If I remember correctly it installed as part of Acrobat Professional on my previous Dell Laptop running Windows XP.
Thanks,

Acrobat 7 Professional.
I guess that explains it then.
Does this mean I will not be able to use any of the functions of Acrobat in Windows 7 of just some?
Can you recommend a site that might provide more info?
Thanks

It is usually at the bottom of your printers list. Do you see it on Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Devices and Printers/Printers?

"Save to Adobe PDF" missing in Mac print dialog

I've just upgraded to a new machine, and the "Save to Adobe PDF" option is missing from the PDF drop-down menu in the print dialogue. I'm running Mac OS 10.8.3 and CS 6. I believe that Acrobat X is supposed to automatically install this option into the main print dialog; what can I do to get it installed if it got left out of the initial CS6 installaion?

OK thank you. I feel like I'm still not quite getting my question across. I don't think that PDF Maker is what I was using last week before I got a new machine; wasn't that the thing that showed up in the upper portion of the Print dialog, in amongst your physical printers? That is not what I was using. I was using the Save to Adobe PDF.app (an Automator app) that stays in the PDF Services folder in the Library. You access it via the PDF button in the bottom left of the Print dialog. This was using Acrobat 9 and OS 10.6.
Your description above makes it sound like when I go to that button I would get a contextual menu that lets me choose the quality of the PDF. I don't have that choice. This is the contextual menu I get under PDF in the Print dialog:
I used to have an additional entry there in the middle section called Save to Adobe PDF. That brought up a dialog with a drop down menu that showed all of the preset settings I have made for PDF creation, and I could choose my quality there, choose a location, and save. I had full control over all the settings. I just need a choice that brings up that dialog, and Save as PDF doesn't do it (it just uses the native OS PDF generator).
The second method does not work on my machine either. If I try to drag a Word doc into Acrobat it tells me it is not a supported file type, and says "To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF." this indicates to me that somewhere I should still have the ability to choose Adobe PDF rather than Mac OS PDF.
I can save to PostScript and drop the file onto Distiller -- as long as the Distiller settings are set correctly already, because it starts creating the PDF immediately with no dialog in between to make choices. I can live with that, but I would rather have my Automator workflow back to do it in one step. (sadly I don't know enough about Automator right now to easily do this myself, but maybe this is a good chance to learn.)
I know that I have seen this workflow mentioned as something that is installed along with Acrobat X but maybe people are mistaken about that and it was just left over from a previous install. I know for sure that the workflow that was working on the old machines was outdated; it was 32-bit and can't even be opened in the current version of Automator. So the old one clearly won't work any more. For now I'm going to set up a Distill folder on my desktop with the settings I use most often, and direct my PS files there.
Thanks for the detailed reply even though I can't quite make it all work!

How to get Adobe 8 to read entries from Adobe 6

Some forms that my company uses was created in Adobe version 8. Some employees using adobe pro 6 ignored the message that states "The forms being used were created in a later version of adobe and you need to upgrade to a later version of adobe" and still went ahead and edited the forms with the adobe pro 6.
Now that everyone is on adobe pro 8 the forms are all showing up blank.
the information entered using adobe 6 to edit adobe 8 forms are all blank.
Does anyone have any idea how can recover the information or how to get adobe version 8 to read the entries from version 6.
Thanks
Al

Chances are they did not actually save the entries in AA6. When you open an AA8 document in AA6, you can not edit the document. That may be the issue, not that the made changes (not realizing they were not changed). This could have been avoided if the AA8 folks had saved the form in an AA6 compatible way (Reduce File Size or PDF Optimizer). However, some of the functionality might have been lost with the backward save.
Assuming you still have AA6 on some machine, try to read them and see if the stuff is there that you are talking about. I doubt that the changes are there.

Hi,
I would suggest you to uninstall Adobe Reader using the cleaner tool and then re-install the latest version.
Adobe Cleaner Tool:- Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs.
Latest version of Adobe Reader:- http://get.adobe.com/reader/
If you still experience the same issue, please share the following information:-
- Screenshot of Adobe Reader showing printer options
- Screenshot of Microsoft Word showing printer options

Adobe PDF not showing in PPD

Hi,
Does anyone know why "Adobe PDF" is no showing in the PPD section when defining a new Print Preset? At the moment i'm manually draging the PDF through Distiller, generally i can do this auatomatically through indesign, but it's all different on my new Mac.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated
Cheers

The Article is great thanks! Explains allot, and i know now that it's a widespread issue. it doesn't quite resolve my problem (although it gets the PDF PPD showing up in inDesign which is great). InDesign still won't export to distiller and produce the PDF though.
No that's cool, We have to run all Ads and documents through Distiller for the Press, export doesn't cut it it's not a huge problem as it can be done manually, but it saves so much time when it's done via InDesign.

How to install Adobe PDF in my applications (e.g. illustrator)

How do I create an Adobe PDF file using the Print command in Illustrator (Mac OS).
I've seen the Adobe PDF as one of the option when I select which printer to use in illustrator but don't know how to add it to the printer list.
Does anyone have an answer to this problem?
Thanks,
Suta

Go to Page Setup and click on Any Printer.
It should show a drop down list of all printer drivers you have active.
Example for what list should look like (note your set of printers should be different):
Choose desire printer. Set scale and orientation. the cclick okay.
Then in Print menu clicl on list of printer and choose Adobe PDF as the one to make a PDF.
When finished go back to Print menu and check to see if it has defaulted back to your regualr (default printer). If not choose your default printer go go to setting click on settings and save as default. At that point it will always bounce back.

No. Reader will not damage files. It is only meant to read pdf files. PDF files are frequently damaged when sent as email due to encoding issues.

Perhaps because you don't know what you have (because there is no product called "adobe pdf translator"), Also perhaps because you aren't in a place to get support from Adobe. If you'd like us in the community to try to help, we might, if you can help us understand what is wrong. What is the specific product you are trying to use, and what happens when you try to use it.

You can use the following code:
byte[] content = getRequestBufferAsBytes(request);
...then do whatever you want
public static byte[] getRequestBufferAsBytes(HttpServletRequest request) throws IOException, ServletException
// get the RequestBuffer
ServletInputStream oInput = request.getInputStream();
long nContentLength = request.getContentLength();
String contentType = request.getContentType();
if (nContentLength <= 0)
return null;
byte[] cContent = new byte[(int)nContentLength];
// read the content in 512 bytes chunks
// a single read does not get all the characters
int nRead = 0;
int nToRead = (int)nContentLength;
int nBlkSize = 512;
byte[] cTemp = new byte[512];
do {
int n = 0;
int i = 0;
if (nToRead - nRead < 512)
nBlkSize = nToRead - nRead;
n = oInput.read( cTemp,0,nBlkSize);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
cContent[i+nRead] = cTemp[i];
nRead += i;
} while (nRead < nToRead);
//cContent[nRead] = (byte)'\0';
Long nBytesRead = new Long( nRead );
return cContent;
