Installing Acrobat on Mac

Hi
I am new to mac, so this might be a dumb question, but I cannot figure it out.
I just installed Acrobat, the latest from my CC subscription on my new mac. I wanted to print a PDF from Illustrator, but I got no PDF-printer...
On windows I automatic get a PDF-printer, but I cannot find it on mac.
I am on OS X 10.10 latest update.
Thanks for helping out a mach-newbie
Ulf

Very simple.
(1) There is no Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance on the MacOS. Apple disabled the capability for Adobe to do that a number of MacOS versions ago.
(2) On the other hand, from Illustrator you should ALWAYS generate PDF by using the Save function. In addition to saving as an Illustrator (.ai) file, also save a copy as a PDF (.pdf) file. Generally speaking, the PDF/X-4 or at worst, the High Quality Print settings are most appropriate. This is true for both MacOS and Windows.

  • Need help installing acrobat on Mac

    I just bought Acrobat Pro.
    When I tried to download it to install on my Mac, it stopped at 42% and it won't let me resume... Any ideas?

    need a little more detail:
    System Used
    whether downloaded copy (meaning purchased direct from Adobe and then used download feature), or bought a pacakaged copy.
    How much Hard drive space left on computer.
    how much needed for install.
    Did you repair permissions on computer, before starting.

  • Anyone know how to install Acrobat in Mac Yosemite?  What the heck.

    same question above adobe.

    I found a solution that worked for me (Re: Acrobat installer (acrobatpro11_dlm) hangs indefinitely on Mac OS X Yosemite; known issue?) -- After running the Acrobat uninstaller and then installing through Adobe Application Manager I was able to get a working installation. The Acrobat installer acrobatpro11_dlm you get from cloud.adobe.com still doesn't work for me...

  • Installing Acrobat 9 Pro on a virtual machine on my Mac using Parallels.  Not an upgrade but being asked what I upgraded from.

    I'm installing Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows on a virtual machine on my Mac (running Parallels).  I successfully installed the same program using the same discs on the same Mac previously, but that virtual machine became corrupt and can no longer be launched.  For this re-installation, the installation sequence is asking what version I upgraded from - but as this is not an upgrade, I get stuck at that step and am unable to complete the installation.  What should my next step be?

    Hi Akselowner,
    This error usually comes up if the serial number you are using is an Upgrade serial number.
    In such a case the installer will prompt to enter the previous qualifying version serial number.
    Please send me a private message with the serial number and I will validate and confirm that for you.
    If you do not have the previous qualifying version serial number then the current serial number needs to be unlocked.
    Please contact our customer service so that they can do the needful for you. You can even reach our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6

  • Installing Acrobat on a machine running both Mac OS and Windows OS

    I have a new MacAir (Mountain Lion OS) and that will also have Windows 7 installed (via Parallels software).  I want to install Adobe Acrobat XI (Standard preferably, or Pro if required) so that I can print to a PDF from any application, whether in either Windows or Mac OS environment.  How do I install Acrobat to achieve this?  Do I have to install it TWICE, once in Mac environment and then again in the Windows environment?  Or can I install Acrobat just in the Mac envronment and have it show up as a printer option in Windows applications?  Thank you.

    It can't be done. Serials for standalone products are platform specific. Yes, you would have to install it in both environemnts, but as per the previous, it's not possible unless you have 2 licenses. That aside, if all you want to print to PDF, then there's enough free alternatives like GhostScript.

  • Can someone help me install Acrobat 8 Pro on MAC 10.9.4?

    Can someone help me install Acrobat 8 Pro on MAC 10.9.4?

    I don't think this version of Acrobat is compatible with your OS (seeing as the minimum requirement for Acrobat 9 is Mac OS X v. 10.4.11 or 10.5)...
    In other words, time to upgrade to Acrobat XI.

  • I installed Acrobat XI pro on a Mac but it only shows the features of acrobat reader - how do I activate the pro features?

    How do I get Acrobat XI pro on a Mac to work fully, and not just act like Acrobat Reader. i just paid and downloaded it, entered new serial number when requested, but when I open a .pdf I have no pro features showing (such as editing tools, convert to powerpoint, etc). I use XI pro on a windows PC and have no problem there.

    Perfect answer. And I feel a bit dumb (should have worked it out, but still finding my way round the Mac). Many thansk for the help.

  • Hi, how do I download acrobat professional 7?  I can't find a link for Mac. I reinstalled CS2 (as my old G4 Powerbook needed reinstalling), but it didn't install instal Acrobat or Distiller.  Adobe don't seem to have any contact mechanism.

    Hi, how do I download the replace CS2 acrobat professional 7?  I can't find a link for Mac. I reinstalled CS2 from adobe (as my old G4 Powerbook needed reinstalling), but it didn't install instal Acrobat or Distiller.  Adobe don't seem to have any contact mechanism.
    I put my old acrobat back onto my machine (from a backup made before reformatting) but it wants the box serial number.  when I did that however, the replacement CS2 photoshop, etc, wouldn't work, so I had to install it again, but then, you guessed it - acrobat won't work again.

    Hello Alan,
    Acrobat 7 is older version. Refer below link for more information and how to download.
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Adobe has made earlier versions available for customer's convenience.
    Hope all will go well !!

  • Where is the plug in tab option in the upper menu bar when acrobat pro is installed on a mac

    where is the plug in tab option in the upper menu bar when acrobat pro is installed on a mac

    When Acrobat is installed first, it does not have a Plug-ins menu. When you buy extra plug-ins for Acrobat, some plug-ins will add a Plug-ins menu. Some won't - some will add other menus, or buttons, or something else.
    So
    1. Make sure you have purchased the Mac plug-in(s) you need.
    2. Make sure they are installed.
    3. Make sure they are compatible with your version of Acrobat; the Mac is much less forgiving about versions, you need to check carefully.
    4. If the plug-in is compatible and installed perhaps it doesn't add a plug-ins menu.

  • Can't install Acrobat PRO in CC using CS6 (mac)

    Hi Community,
    In my Company we plan to upgrade to adobe CC (2014) on macs.
    In the first step we try to use CC and CS6 together on some macs to ensure it's working.
    But since the installation of CC Acrobat PRO X (from CS6) asks for the licence key again when starting.
    Unfortunaltly the problem still exists after reinstalling the CS6 package.
    In the CC i have no option to install Acrobat PRO XI.
    From the Adobe support I've got the hint to delete a file called opm.db in users/Library-folder but this did not help.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this?
    thanks

  • Installed Acrobat update 11.0.07 on a Mac running OSX10.7.5, and now it crashed constantly.

    Installed Acrobat update 11.0.07 on a Mac running OSX10.7.5, and now it crashed constantly. It seems to crash almost every time I close a document, or when I open a 2nd document. Sometimes it crashes immediately upon opening a document, but on occasion I am able to open and close 3 or 4 documents in a row before it crashes. I've had dozens of crashes today. Had no problems at all before the update.

    Yes, I too can see same problem with the above link. However the steps from that page are as follows:
    The Adobe Forums do not offer file attachments. But there are sites you can use to upload and share your files. One such site is Adobe's Workspaces. Here are instructions for uploading a file to Workspaces and adding a link to the document to your message:
    1. Go to https://workspaces.acrobat.com/ and sign-in with your Adobe ID to the Workspaces service.
    2. Create an account if you don't have one.
    3. Then login to the website.
    4. In top left corner you will see a button called Upload.
    5. Click on browse and select the file you want to upload.
    6. After Uploading, mouse over on the uploaded file. Click the down arrow button and choose Share document.
    7. Then you will be prompted a popup window at the lower left corner. Choose "Publish it" option.
    8. In the next pop up window choose "Copy Link" option.
    9. You can paste the link in the forum thread.
