I am missing the 'print to pdf' option on my entire adobe creative suite 'HELP!'

I really need some help.  After installing a new printer to my computer I noticed that my adobe programs would not longer allow me to Print to PDF.  I originally thought it was a problem with my mac, but after doing tech support with them, we discovered that it is actually a problem within my adobe programs. After talking with mac, I decided to try uninstalling my new printer and rebooting my computer - this made no difference.  Then I made sure all my adobe updates were current.  ALL UPDATED.  I also tried downloading a trial of the new acrobat 11, still nothing.  Finally I uninstalled my entire suite and reinstalled it.  Throughout this whole ordeal I rebooted my computer after every step.  NOTHING. 
Please help, I really don't know what else to try and I haven't been able to find an answer within the forums. 
Just to make sure that I am clear.  I am trying to resize a huge amount of PDF's created from illustrator files and would like to do  this by printing to pdfs.  When you try to print now, there are no options because there are no printer drivers at all.
Argh!
hope someone has an idea, I'm working on a project with a deadline and really require a solution.
Thanks

Hi, thanks for answering. No, I haven't updated the OS recently.  However, doesn't the Adobe suite utilize it's own print to pdf driver?  This is what I was told by Mac.  Safari, Textedit, etc, all can print to pdf, so can't be a Mac issue.

  • Had to restore my iMac from Time Machine. After the restoration all programs are functioning except my Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. When I start any program in the suite the error message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I rest

    I had to restore my iMac from Time Machine. After the restoration all programs are functioning except my Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. When I start any program in the suite the error message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I restarted the computer and tried again to run Photoshop and the same error message appeared. The message was followed by a message that stated that I needed to contact Adobe technical support and mention Error: 150.30. I need Adobe technical support to provide me a solution for my problem so I can continue using my Adobe products installed on my computer.

    Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
    There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
    If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite.  You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

  • Where can the install.app file be found when installing Adobe Creative Suite CS5, download version ?

    I have the same problem that the user who wrote the post "Trouble installing content files on Mac", but his post went unanswered. Here is the link: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4221280. I am trying to install the adobe creative suite CS5 downloaded from the internet, and what I have is a dmg file. When I open it, there is only a read me and a folder named "English". In the read me I go to the install instructions, and they tell me to double-click in Install.app, a file which doesn't exist. What am I doing wrong?

    I downloaded it from Adobe Store. When I open the dmg file I see the read me.pdf and the English folder, nothing more. Perhaps the problem is that I have already installed the program in one computer, this is happening to me trying to install it in another one. Could that be it, that I need another license in order to make it work?

  • No print to PDF option

    Very recently (after the latest security update?), I've lost the option on the print dialogue to print to a PDF. A work-around is to preview and then save the preview as a PDF, but I would like to have the print to PDF option back. I've run Disk Utility to repair disk permissions after already booted up and also booting up from an OS-X install disk. When running repair disk permissions after booting up from my startup disk, it takes very a long time and generates many warnings about SIUD files that have been modified and will not be repaired. Related? Any ideas how to get the PDF drop-down option back?

    It happened to me too, apparently spontaneously, a month after installing Leopard, so I doubt it is a printer install issue. AppleCare first said "its a Word problem - call Microsoft", but it happens in all applications including iTunes and iPhoto at least. I called AppleCare back and then they said "its an Adobe problem - we don't support it". They wouldn't even try to tell me if the underlying program is Adobe or Preview or what. (How can they not even try and support their own aps, even with a purchased AppleCare program??) I searched Adobe and they disclaim any support of native ap "save as pdf" functions. Repairing permissions and deleting plists for anything I could find related and updating prebinding in Terminal didn't help. I use the pdf function A LOT at work and the workarounds through other aps is too inconvenient. I also can't afford to reinstall the OS every month. Grrrrrr....

  • Print booklet: pdf option?

    Hi, I'm using Adobe CC InDesign and I'm trying to "print" (save) a booklet but I only have the post script option and I want to save it as pdf to print it later.
    What can I do? Thanks

    Unless you use Windows or an older version of OS X, and have an older version of Acrobat Pro that installed the PDF printer (see InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Acrobat’s Adobe PDF Printer Replaced in Snow Leopard ) you don't have a print to PDF option available. You'll have to print to Postscript, then distill.

  • I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box

    '''I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box. Firefox displays gooblygook even though the file name is an html, Windows Notepad crashes, MS Excel does not recognise the file type. MS Word displays goobblys also when the file has no filename extension.'''

    If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
    Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

  • The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

    The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

    The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year of 2013.
    Acrobat 9 support of MS Project via PDFMaker stops with Office 2007.
    For Office 2013 support you must use Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or newer.

  • How do i hide the "print as image"  option in the menu ?

    I need to hide the "print as image" option in the menu for some users.
    what would be the best way to do it ?
    (the result should be that the users do not see the print as image option when they want to print something
    with Adobe Acrobat reader)
    Thanx

    Hello there, you can start with this
    Check Firefox page settings
    If a web page prints incorrectly in Firefox:
    At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button, go over to the Print... menu (on Windows XP, click on the File menu) and select Print Preview. The print preview window will appear.
    In the print preview window, make sure Scale is set to Shrink To Fit.
    Make sure the Portrait orientation is set.
    Click Page Setup.... The Page Setup window will appear.
    In the Page Setup window, click the Margins & Header/Footer tab.
    In the Margins section, make sure the page margins are set correctly (the default setting is 12.7 mm, or 0.5 in).
    Click OK to close the Page Setup window and return to the Print Preview window.
    Back in the Print Preview window, click Print. The Print window will appear.
    Make sure the correct printer is shown in the Name field.
    Make sure the Print to file setting is not selected.
    If you made changes, go ahead and attempt to print the page again. If not, follow the instructions below.
