  • Strange artifact in Illustrator PDF, only when printing via Adobe PDF printer

    Hello,
    I've run into a strange issue with an artifact in a PDF generated by Illustrator using the Adobe PDF printer. When I "Save As" a PDF, this artifact does not show. Using the same job options, printing via Adobe PDF creates this artifact. The object is behind the content and it's a semi-transparent box that was manipulated using Free Distort. It's behind everything so shouldn't even show up, but the outline is showing up for some reason. In the past I've had similar issues with artifacts and I changed my Adobe Compatibility to the latest version, and it fixed the issue, but that didn't work this time. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks,

    I had to zoom in to see the faint lines you are talking about and they are there. As a test, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer.

  • Can only print current page of a downloaded pdf via adobe reader

    I can only print current page of a downloaded pdf via adobe reader.  Any ideas?  I'd like to be able to print "All".

    You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

  • Printing current pdf to Adobe PDF printer

    I have Windows XP and Adobe Acrobat 10 on my computer. I am able to take a 60 page pdf file from Internet Explorer, hit print to Adobe PDF, choose pages 4-6 to print, rename the file and save this document to my desktop. The pdf pops up and it's just 3 pages now instead of 60.
    My colleague has Windows 7 and Acrobat 9.5.2 on her computer. She is not able to do this. When she takes the 60 page document and chooses to print pages 4-6 to Adobe PDF, the document freezes. The "Save as PDF File" opens up but it won't let you save the file or cancel out the of the window. It just has a circular arrow that continues to go around and around. The only way to get out is to open the Task Manager and close all the Internet Explorer windows.
    I realize that she can save the pdf, extract the pages she wants, and then save the document, but if I am able to print a current pdf to Adobe pdf printer, then she should be able to as well.
    Any ideas what causes this problem? Windows 7? Her version of Acrobat? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for responding. 
    I finally figured out the problem on my own and thought I would share with everyone else. My colleague's machine had both Acrobat and Adobe PDF printer, but she didn't have Adobe Reader. I downloaded Reader, attempted to print to Adobe PDF and it worked!

  • How do I extract pages from a pdf using 'Adobe PDF Pack'?

    How do I extract pages from a pdf using 'Adobe PDF Pack'?

    I think you have to buy extractor for 1.99 a month to extract PDF.  But I am having trouble activating it.  Good luck.

  • InDesign CS6 exporting to Adobe PDF (Interactive)

    Created an interactive form in InDesign CS6, but when I export to a PDF file, using Adobe PDF (Interactive), the purple bar "Please fill out the following form…" is not visible in my PDF file.
    PLEASE NOTE: My Adobe Acrobat Pro preferences do not have the check mark on under >Form >Always hide forms document message bar. The check mark is off.
    I want the purple box to be visible in my interactive form, yet it is not. WHY????

    Because this isn't really an InDesign question, I'd post this in this Acrobat Pro forum:
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/forms
    That's never worked that way for me.

  • Converting doc to pdf via Adobe Converter printer

    I have Acrobat Standard 8.1.5 and for some reason I suddenly can no longer convert a document to pdf by "printing it to Adobe PDF converter in the Printer and Fax folder (Windows Vista).
    I am not sure what has changed but I used to be able to do it.
    Any ideas greatly received

    If you can print to file with the Adobe PDF printer and complete the conversion to PDF by opening that file in Distiller, then check your background tasks for AcroTray. AcroTray is necessary to automate the conversion process.

  • Resizing PDFs with Adobe PDF Pack

    Our office uses Adobe PDF Pack for combining PDFs and conversions. However, when we send reports via email our PDF attachments are too large for the email to be sent.  Is there a way to resize the file using Adobe PDF Pack, or do we need to buy Adobe Acrobat (I know using Adobe Acrobat to resize you do the PDF Optimizer)?
    Thank you in advance.

    Yes, you'll need Acrobat Pro. (which has the optimizer) to reduce the file size of a PDF.

  • Firefox 15 freezes on printing PDF to Adobe PDF Creator printer

    I just installed Firefox 15.0.1 on WIndows XP SP2. Also installed NoScript 2.5.5 and DownloadHelper 4.9.9, current Flash plugin and Shockwave.
    The browser seems to print fine to all my physical printers. But when I attempt to print to the Adobe PDF printer driver, Firefox freezes. Windows XP's spooler reports that a job is being spooled to the queue but it seems Firefox never opens up the PDF WIndows File dialog to create and save the file. I must force-close Firefox from the Task Manager, it is frozen solid.
    Upon force-close, Windows reports that a print job was sent to the Adobe PDF printer (I turned on notifications).
    I have attempted running Firefox in Safe Mode. I have attempted to reset printer in about:config; I have removed all printer lines in prefs.js. I have disabled both plugins (the only 2 enabled when running in standard mode), I have checked Page Setup specs.
    I have no crash ID as I must force-close the program in order to get out of it, it never recovers.
    It seems from here that Firefox is failing to open up the File dialog for the PDF, and therefore it simply hangs waiting for the PDF driver to unlock it and return focus.
    Any help would be appreciated! I am using the same version of the PDF converter driver on another machine, also running WIndows XP SP2, running Firefox 3.6, and it gives me no problems whatsoever.

    In some versions of Acrobat, there are two printers created. If you have one named "Distiller" could you try printing to that one?
    You also could reset the printing preferences stored by Firefox.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''printer''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Right-click '''print.print_printer''' and choose Reset. You can reset your Adobe PDF printer-specific settings as well, which will take many clicks....
    Any luck?

  • 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.

  • Printing selected pages of a PDF to Adobe PDF

    I have Acrobat 9, Windows 7, and was happily creating new files from existing PDFs by printing selected pages to Adobe PDF. After having done this a hundred times or so, the process stopped working. I got this message: "When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, 'Adobe PDF Settings' page and turn OFF the option 'Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts.'" Then I get a message, "The document could not be printed." Then I get a message, "There were no pages selected to print."
    First, I wasn't having any problems up to this point; second, I'm not trying to create a postscript file, I'm just trying to print to Adobe PDF (as in, just page 3 of a six-page document."
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I downloaded the Arcobat SDK and now learning to use it with its sample.
    However, I got stuck when I run the program BasicIacVB.
    I got the following error message:
    Cannot create ActiveX component.
    When running the line
    gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    I run this program on my PC with VS2005 installed.
    What extra step do I need to do to use the sdk?
    Seems there's no installation package there...
    Sorry about my stupid question, I am a total newbie in AcrobatSDK.
    P.S.  My ultimate goal is to develop the program in VB6 (not using VB2005),
    as my client PCs does not (and cannot for some reason) install .net framework.

  • How do I separate a PDF into multiple PDFs using Adobe PDF Pack?

    I do not find "AdobePack" when I look at the list of forums https://forums.adobe.com/welcome

  • How to retain hyperlinks converting word 2011 to .pdf and Adobe PDF

    I'm having this issue with saving a MS Word 2011 doc.  Hyperlinks are NOT preserved.  Seems unrelated to any browser version.  I'm on OSX 10.7.4.  Have tried the 'built-in' "Save as PDF" option under the PRINT GUI, also tried the "Save as Adobe PDF", as I have Acrobat 10 installed as well.  Appreciate any tips.

    Option A
    If you have Apple Pages…
    Open the Word 2011 document in Pages.
    Go to the File menu, select Export, choose PDF… from the pop out menu and follow the prompt.
    Option B
    Go to the free file conversion web site Zamzar. Follow their four-step process to upload and convert your Word 2011 document to pdf.
    Note: url addresses in the Word 2011 doc do become hyperlinks in the resultant PDF. 
    IMO, what we experience is a Microsoft problem NOT Apple nor Adobe. (Apple Pages retain hyperlinks.) You can help get the attention of Microsoft about this issue. In any of the Office 2011 applications, go to the Help menu and select “Send feedback about Word/Excel/PowerPoint.” That will take you to their Office for Mac Product Feedback web site page. Fill out the form and submit. Note that you can only choose one product to report on at a time. Repeat the feedback by selecting each of the other MS Office 2011 applications.

  • Creating PDF through Adobe PDF print - Cannot open this file?

    Hello!
    I have a user who I recently installed Acrobat X on their machine.  They are in a program called DSS and he when he goes to file --> Print and then selects Adobe PDF he gets errors when converting a map into a pdf.  It shows the Creating Adobe PDF box and has a progress bar.  Then an error box says Acrobat Distiller:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10\Acrobat\.......
    Cannot open this file.
    Please check that the correct path and filename are given.
    Magically it converts but the problem is with the errors and sometimes the conversion isnt accurate. What port does this need to be on becuae I notices it defaults to COM1???
    Thanks, any help would be much appreciated.

    Please have the user post, we need much more information. Operating System, Service Package, 32-bit/64-bit. If 64-bit is the program 32-bit or 64-bit native? Version of the program DSS.  What kind of program is DSS and who makes it? Googling DSS doesn't help much since there are several choices.

  • Problem Generating PDF Using Adobe PDF as Driver

    I am using FM 10, experiencing problems in creating a pdf of a book. I use Adobe PDF as my print driver. The error said that a font,
    HelveticaNeueCond, was not available, and could not be embedded. I had never heard of this font as being in my book, but I downloaded it and installed it on my C drive in my WINDOWS/Fonts folder. Still got the same error!
    Also a pdf was made up to a certain page and then it failed. When I tried pdf ing that failed page, it worked. Then I tried to pdf the pages in between and it failed in a different spot.
    This failure makes no sense.
    I need help!

    There are hundreds of message similar to this one in the archives, so I'd suggest you start reading those, but in general:
    No one can do effective long-distance trouble shooting of your system without all the system details: FM and Acrobat versions, down to the patch levels (do Help > About), your OS, and amount of RAM and free disk space are important also.
    If you are running Windows XP, get the Microsoft Hot fix for all PostScript printers and install if before you do anything else.
    http://support.microsoft.com/?id=952909 (Gives details on the Hotfix)
    http://support.microsoft.com/Hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=952909&kbln=en-us (Direct Download Link)
    Reboot after installing it.
    Then, or start with these if you're not on XP:
    Set the Adobe Acroat printer as your system default printer.
    Be sure you are printing to the Acrobat printer with the Print Command and not using SaveAs PDF
    On the Frame Print dialog box, check Generate Acrobat Data and UNCHECK Print to File.
