INSTALLING ADOBE AS A PRINTER

I have Adobe 7 which was installed as a printer on a former computer.  I have new computer running Windows 7.  I have installed Adobe 7 and want to install it as a printer for easy conversion of texts to PDF.  How do I do that?  Unfortunately I don't remember how I did it on my former computer.  thanks.

Only Acrobat 9 updated and Acrobat X have been written to support the Windows 7 OS. You will have to purchase and install an update version.

  • I just installed Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer, when I try to use from Word or Excel, it does not work.  The Adobe print queue says "error" in the status screen.  I have uninstalled and re-installed.  Any ideas of what to do next?

    I just installed Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer on a Windows 7 home PC.  When I try to use from Word or EWxcel, it does not print.  The Adobe print device queue reports an "error" in the status column.

    Adobe retired this Feb 17, 2014.
    This app sent content to and got content from the web based services of "CreatPDF" and "PDF Pack".
    These are subscription services out in "the cloud". When the app was live you had to be online and signed into your account.  The user forum for CreatePDF has a DOC that speaks to the app removal.

  • Cannot Install "Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer"

    According to the Help Page titled "Create PDF Files", I should be able to download the installer for the "Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer". Supposedly, when I click "Create PDF" on my Acrobat.com main page, I will have an option to "Install Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer". However, when I click on "Create PDF",  this option is not presented to me. Instead, I only have the option to "Upload a file to convert it to PDF". How do I install the "Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer"?
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    Well, you caught us: this feature won't actually be available until tomorrow, but it looks like you'll be ready for it when it gets here! Check back tomorrow morning for the CreatePDF features you've been investigating - and let us know how it goes!
    Thanks,

  • How do I install adobe as a printer?

    I need to print a .pdf from word. I bought the Adobe pack, why is it not showing as a printer choice?

    Hi amydipaolo,
    The Adobe CreatePDF Desktop printer is available for Windows only. If you're on Windows, you should see al ink to download and install the printer on the CreatePDF page when you're logged in to https://cloud.acrobat.com.  I know there are plans to retire that printer, but just checked and the download is still available. Click "Download CreatePDF Desktop Tool" and then follow these instructions to set it up: Install and configure Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer
    If you're on Mac OS, this option is available to you. But, you could download a free 30-day trial of Acrobat and could then "print" to PDF from Word.
    Please let us know if you have any questions.
    Best,

  • How to install Adobe as a printer in control panel?

    I just changed computers. On my old computer, I was able to select Adobe in the printer list to save a document or excel file as a PDF file. However, on my new computer, I am not able to figure out how to get Adobe installed in the printer list. I'm running Windows XP Pro and cleanly installed Adobe Reader 9.0. I have searched the support and forums on this site but am unable to find my answer.
    Any guidance will be most appreciated.

    Easy. Install Adobe Acrobat. Reader doesn't come with the PDF printer.

  • How do i install adobe create pdf printer

    How do I install the printer driver under "Create PDF"? I have Adobe PDF pack

    Hello Sara,
    I too just read that the PDF desktop printer is going to discontinued, which is also why I bought the Adobe PDF Pak.  Could you tell me what product would best fit my needs as well?
    I work in advertising and also gather material for training sales associates so am often combining multiple format documents into one file or "handbook".  I also convert a lot of pdf documents into either Word or Excel and edit pdf documents.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance in this.

  • After installing Adobe Reader XI 11.0.09 on my Windows 7 x64 operating system it will not print pdf documents

    After installing Adobe Reader XI 11.0.09 on my Windows 7 x64 operating system, I attempted to print and existing pdf document to my Brothers MFC-J4510DW printer I received error message indicating that no pages where selected (I selected print all pages).

    Hi satsugyo1,
    For printing both sides, you might also need to enable 'printing on both sides' option in Reader print dialog box.
    Please do the same and then print your PDF.
    Let me know how it goes.

    That DLL is part of your printer driver; reinstall or update the device driver for your printer, and the message should go away.

  • I installed Adobe Reader X and i can't print PDF's without opening Reader first

    Hi, i am using windows XP and i just installed Adobe Reader X onto a workstation within' my office. I use to have Adobe Reader 9 where i could just open a folder with my PDF's. For example, My Documents folder and right click on the PDF i want to print, without opening the file in Adobe Reader first and then clicking print. With Adobe Reader X, i can't do the right click option and print because nothing happens.
    Is they an option in Adobe Reader X i need to turn on or off, to get the function of printing by right clicking on the PDF file without opening Reader X to print please ?

    Is it happening all the times or happened just in the starting when you hadn't accepted EULA?
    Is it still happening after accepting EULA?
    Also, can you please tell what printer exactly are you using?

  • Installed Adobe Reader X Cannot print. All Fixes futile!

    Have OS Windows XP Installed Adobe Reader X and cannot print. Documents open properly and can be manipulated according to their limitations except I cannot print. Printer is HP Officejet 4500 Wireless. Have converted back to hard connection for this process. Connection not an issue. Everything else except the pdfs will print normally. Printing a pdf elicits no response from the printer. Does not show in queue. Hard attached another older HP printer. It does respond by pulling blank paper thru machine. Have full warranty on HP printer and have been thru detailed process with them. Does not appear to be a printer issue. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Tried all the same fixes. Still does not work. Connected to old printer. 
    Printer responded, but did not print.

    This is the forum for Adobe Reader (not Acrobat). If you have Reader, you won't have that driver. If you have Acrobat, you'll want to ask in that forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat

  • Adobe Pdf Converter Print Driver Will not install

    Acrobat V9.0

    I have not been able to print to the PDF Printer. I get the following error when I select the PDF printer.
    "The 'Adobe PDF Converter' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
    When I say yes and select version 8.5.0.0 printer since it is the latest version. I get a Add Printer Driver Wizard window that says. "Unable to install adobe pdf converter, Type 3 - User Mode, x86 driver. Access is denied.
    I went through all the recommended steps on the web site listed below with no success.
    Thanks in advance for you help.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Solution 1: Use a supported installation.
    The following are unsupported installations, and the supported solutions:
    If you install Acrobat (Professional or Standard) on a 64-bit operating system, then you may
    see this error. Please update Acrobat to version 8.1 or later. You can update from within
    Acrobat via the help pull-down menu, or download the updater from the following location:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.
    If you install Acrobat to a shared network disk instead of a local hard disk, then the Adobe PDF
    printer is not installed. Install Acrobat on a local hard disk.

    I am having similar problems. After years of successful use, about a year ago, my printer (Epson stylus Photo R300) stopped working. After much investigation, it appears my computer no longer recognizes my printer. I've followed resets, safe boots, uninstalls, reinstalls, etc. This happened so long ago, I don't recall what I was doing when it happened. I'm figuring it happened shortly after a Software Update... So far none of the fixes recommended to me have solved the problem. I've been using Epson customer support, but they've stopped responding. None of their suggestions have seemed to work either.
