I can't use Adobe PDF printer

Hello,
I can't print with my adobe pdf printer.
My version is adobe acrobat 8
Windows 8 64 bit.
I have a message "error impression on adobe pdf..."
NB : when I installed acrobat I had to decompress adobePDF.dll,
Thx

I have heard of no one who has been successful with AA8 on Win8. If you have any chance, you need to be sure you have updated Acrobat to the latest update to work with 64-bit systems.

Snow Leopard: can't use Adobe PDF printer through Distiller

I am on Quark 8.1.6.2 and Snow Leopard (10.6.4) and use Acrobat Pro 9.4.
To make a PDF file I am always used to going through the Quark print dialogue boxes, selecting Adobe PDF as the printer, setting up sizes, settings etc, saving to a .ps file then using Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.4) Distiller to make a high res PDF for press. Worked fine, before I got Snow Leopard.
I have now read that Adobe PDF Printer is not available on Snow Leopard and that all applications that used Adobe PDF Printer to print pdfs will not be able to print pdfs.
See this link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html which only helps InDesign users, not Quark 8 users.
In the print dialogue box it no longer allows me to set up custom page sizes for a .ps file.
How do I now print to high res for print PDF (through a .ps file for Distiller). ie, I don't want to export to PDF through the Quark print dialogue, as it makes too big a file, that's why I need to go through Distiller first. Help!

PDF/X-3 is the best choice to use in those provided by Quark. You can read up on the PDF/X format here. For correct use, version 3 requires all fonts used to be embedded (which the Quark function does automatically). Version 3 also requires all images to be CMYK or spot color. That doesn't mean you can't use it for RGB, though. PDF/X-3 also allows calibrated RGB images and CIELAB.
I assume for pre-press output I should use ''Press - high quality/high resolution', but then Acrobat Distiller asks for settings too...
You don't go through Acrobat Pro or the Distiller at all when outputting a PDF from Quark. The function is built in. There are nice, short descriptions of the various PDF choices here.
When you select a style, the defaults are automatically applied. You will get center and trim marks and whatever else is in the default settings. After you have selected the PDF version you want to use, then click on the Options button. Turn off marks, downsampling of images, or whatever else you want to change. Click the Capture Settings button and Quark will then automatically use your last settings as the method to create PDF files. When clicking the option to capture, you'll be thrown back to the document the first time, so you'll have to go to the menu to choose Layout as PDF again. But you'll see the choice is on Captured Settings. So until you change it, all you have to do is choose a location and click Save.

Word to PDF using Adobe PDF printer

Friends,
I am using 'Adobe PDF' printer to convert MS Word doc to PDF file. When converting some files I find that image size differ in Windows XP and Windows 7.
I use same joboptions for both systems and I use exact configurations in both systems.
I am using Acrobat 8 professional in both systems.
How can I ensure that I get same PDF with exact image size in both operating systems ?
Thank You,
Sriram

Acrobat is NOT for server use. Look into LiveCycle PDF Generator, intended and licensed for server use.

How can I prevent Adobe PDF printer being set as default on first logon on a computer?

Hi all,
When a computer with either Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Adobe CS6 installed and a user logs on a computer for the first time the computer processes GPO's which define which print queues they are to use.
Unfortunately, once this is done, Adobe PDF Printer configuration kicks off, setting the Adobe PDF Printer as default. This is remedied by logging out and logging back in again, but this is annoying for the users (to say the least).
Since a lot of the users rarely use the same computer on a day to day basis, this is a common occurrence, and I would like to know how I can prevent the Adobe PDF printer from setting itself as default upon configuration.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Hi Cato-L,
Are you trying to do on single machine or multiple machines.
Have you got any solution yet.

Can i use adobe pdf viewer dll in educational commercial project in c

I want to read PDF file in my project ..for that i want PDF viewer..so m asking you ..can i use adobe PDF viewer in my project.
Its a educational product for one of my client.

You can write software which uses an installed copy of Adobe Reader and its interfaces.
You cannot distribute the DLL by itself, or include it in your project files.
You can apply for permission to distribute Adobe Reader as a complete installer, subject to license.

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

Printing from Appleworks using Adobe PDF Printer

I have a large number of Appleworks files to convert to PDF. At the moment, I open the file, do a command-p, choose PDF, then "Save as PDF". This method works fine. I would like, however, to automate the process, and doing so would be much easier if the Adobe PDF Printer would print with the expected settings when I click the "Print" button. Is there any way to make this happen? It seems strange that it is not the default behavior, considering the fact that the PDF printer is only a virtual printer, and would never be used to print to paper.
Peter

I have a g5 running Tiger. I updated my profile after posting my original question.
The "Save as PDF..." button works, but not the button on the right that says "Print". It is important to me to be able to use that button, because it forces the application to print to the Adobe PDF virtual printer.

PB with print using Adobe PDF printer

I'm using LR2.6 on Windows 7 / 64 bits with adobe acrobat pro 9.3.1.
When I try to print an image from lightroom printing module using the Adobe PDF printer, the file I obtain has no picture but a gray rectangle with an error message in red : Error - A2code.
Does anyone know what is the problem?
Thank you.

OK, a discussion on that problem has already been launched! Going to had a post to it!

Printing using Adobe PDF printer

Dear all,
I have a digital file with an .swf extension, that opens with a program Ebook_reader.exe. From within the opened (compressed adobe files) program I print to my Adobe PDF printer. The printer is a virtual printer used to create pdf files.
The printing proces is almost fine, except for one detail that I cannot seem to fix by changing settings of teh Adbobe PDF printer.
In the program I see the graphs clearly, and after I print them to PDF they seem funny.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/117661095@N06/12538105853/
When I open the file with Adbobe 8.0 (I know old ...) there seems to be a triangler layer inserted (first graph). Wiith the second graph the lines seem at an angle of 45 degrees ... also layered however when I delete these I delete the grid ... which is not what I would like.
Does anyone know a way to get the above mentioned fixed?
Kind regards,
OS: windows 7, x64

Can't locate Adobe PDF Printer

Hi there. I am trying to convert a word document to PDF at printing but my printer menu does not include the entry "Adobe PDF Printer." I have Windows XP with Adobe Acobat 6.0 Professional. How do I get the Adobe PDF Printer into the Printer menu? Thanks for your help.

Hi Tom, if repairing doesn't reinstall the PDF printer, you may have a Lexmark® printer installed or even QuickTime® installed. I've heard that both of those can prevent the PDF printer installing because it harnesses the Print Spooler so Acrobat is unable to install.

Can't create Adobe PDF printer on Win7 64 bit

I'm running a newDell Optiplex 990 with Windows 7 64 bit in a large company. Our IT guy just installed CS6 and everything seems to work fine -- EXCEPT - when we go to Devices and Printers/Add printer, there's no Adobe PDF driver (are they still called drivers?) to install as a printer.
We've reinstalled/repaired Acrobat Pro 10 several times and it still doesn't appear. We've never gotten a message indicating a problem.
I've done a lot of searching on this forum and elsewhere and found what seems to be the answer for many people which I'll copy here. Please note that when we get to bullet #4, there's nothing like Documents\*.pdf (Adobe PDF) to select -
Manually install the PDF Printer
Click Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers
Select Add a printer
Select Add a local printer
Check Use an existing port and select Documents\*.pdf (Adobe PDF) from the drop down.
Click Next
Click the Have Disk… button
Click the Browse… button
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF
Select AdobePDF.inf from the list, then click the OK button
You will see many Adobe PDF Converters in the list, however count six down from the top and click Next (you may need to try this numerous times to find the correct Converter from the list that works with your version of Windows)
Name your printer, e.g. Adobe PDF
Follow the rest of the prompts and your PDF printer should now be installed correctly
Two additional details that may be significant:
1. We dug into the folder mentioned in bullet #8 but there wasn't an Xtras folder. I have a similar system at home and was able to find the Xtras folder. I copied that and placed it into the same spot on my work PC but no luck.
2. Our IT department is rolling out Viewfinity in order to lock down PCs from users installing "stuff". The IT guy who did the install was logged in as an admin but still was unable to install Adobe PDF.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I can't see adobe pdf printer

Hi,
I've recently installed the CC on my iMac at work, including Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I go to (i.e.) Illustrator > file > print I can't see in the drop down menu the 'Adobe pdf' option to virtually print my files. Every software is updated to its latest version, including my operating system (OS X 10.9.5). I tried to look up in several websites and forums to see if I have to do something specific to get access to the adobe virtual printer (I never had to do anything like that because it's always been automatic after installing Adobe Acrobat Pro) but I couldn't find any help. Does anybody have some advice? Thank you in advance.

That's too bad. I have an old illustrator file with 18 layers, one for each page of a calendar. That option was good to create an original layered file directly in illustrator and then saving individual pages with the 'save visible and printable layers' option selected. Now if I choose 'save as pdf' there is no way to turn off unwanted layers and the resulting pdf is a fuzzy mix of all 18 layers

Printing multiple 'sheets' per page, using adobe pdf printer

I've got a number of PDFs that are scanned books, and they were scanned 2 pages at a time, and then OCRed
What I'd like to be able to do is re'print' the file to a new PDF file (so that the OCRed text remains searchable in the new file), in a5, so that in stead of 2 pages on every a4 'page' i get one 'book page' per 'PDF page'.
While it's fairly easy to tell Acrobat to print to a5, this will result in every left half of the a4 page being printed to the new file, and every right side of the page being discarded.
But if I rotate all pages in the file 180 degrees and print that, the print preview does show the reversed page properly, but once I print the file, it will rotate the pages back before printing them, once again yielding only the left side of every page (probably in a misguided effort to help me)
Why doesn't the printer automatically print the right side on a new a5 sheet, or at least allow me to orient the pages any way i like while printing them?
Does anyone know of a way for me to print these pages properly, or if the acrobat pdf printer is somehow bugged? (and can/will this be fixed?)

Hi Timothy,
Please ask your question on the regular Acrobat User-to-User forum. This forum deals with 3D specific issues, and although you may have Acrobat 3D installed, your question would most likely get a good response on the other forum.

Can I use Adobe PDF plugin in Chrome on a Mac?

I'm on a Mac.
I would like to use the Adobe Reader PDF viewer in Chrome instead of the built-in Chrome PDF viewer.
I went to Chrome:Plugins to disable the Chrome PDF viewer, but noticed that the Adobe Reader PDF plugin is not there.
I then went to Library/Internet Plug-ins and I do see the AdobePDFViewer.plugin file.
Is the Adobe PDF Viewer compatible with Chrome on Mac?
