Where is the support for system upgrade malfunctions? I lost PDF options

and I am getting no resolution to the issue. My computer was fine before the most recent upgrade. I even tried to download the 10.5.7 combo upgrade several times after it was suggested. The download not only took forever but I had to restart it several times after it timed out. Once it finally completed and I installed it, I still am having the same problems including no PDF print options and my Pages keeps quitting.
What is going on? MY COMPUTER AND ALL ITS SOFTWARE WAS FINE before the most recent upgrades.

This might not actually have been the case. One of the top reasons for an upgrade failing is for there to be some kind of subtle underlying problems that the user might not yet have been aware of. For that reason, it is strongly recommended that you repair the boot drive and repair permissions before every system update.
The other likely possibility with 10.5.7 is bad RAM, as it seems to be picky about that. However, bad RAM would not show up as a lack of PDF print options or a single app crashing, so that makes it unlikely in my eyes.
Also, *never ever* restart your computer in the middle of an update, unless you are reasonably sure that it has really, truly frozen. If such a thing does happen, you should download the combo updater rather than using Software Update and try that. Of course, if you have installed the update without doing the preemptive diagnostics, you should go and repair the hard drive before trying to update again.

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....

Lost PDF export functionality

Hi everyone,
I have upgraded to CS5 Design Premium with Acrobat Pro 9, I was previously on CS4.
I have had to uninstall and reinstall a couple of times, as well as restore the OS on my mac for a number of reasons, but in the end, now that everything is up and running, I seem to have lost some Export to PDF functions.
This is across InDesign, Illustrator and Distiller. The only PDF options I have to export to are:
• High Quality Print
• PDFX1a / 2001
• PDFX3 - 2002
• Press Quality
• Smallest File Size
Before all of this, when I was on CS4, I also had other options including one for PDFX4 / 2008.
Can anyone tell me how I can get these back?
Thanks

I exported mine from CS4 for you.
Download this link, and change the .jpg to .joboptions (only cheater way I can upload this to the forum, hope this works)
<---- right click on this and choose save downloaded file as
And save this file into:

Missing Adobe PDF option in the Printer Icon

I have just upgraded to Mac's LION 10.7.2 and I have LOST the Adobe PDF option in my 'print menu'
How do I get it back into the Printer llist ?
If it matters, my version of Adobe Reeader is 10.1.1
Thanks
Shelgor

Phillip,
Thanks for getting back to me, but I am a novice ( softer word the 'dummy') and I cannot follow your directions; I don't "SEE' the items you mention so let me try to paint a clearer picture
When I have a document that I want t print.....I go to the file menu and select "PRINT' from the drop down menu, That opens window that has an oval window that allow me to drop down to see what printers are available....I have TWO......a Brothers MFC-5490cn and a Lexmark
NOW..tose ar my only two options......prior to up grading )from Snow Leopard) to Lion.....there was a third option....which 'Adobe PDF Printer', and THAT is the one I've lost.
My goal is to get it back into the Printer Window as a third option.
Thanks

Print to pdf option in report

I am working on a drill-down report...
So I have a Summary and a Details report...
Now i need a way to select multiple records in the Summary report so i can print the details for those entries...
I don't want to use the default "save as pdf" option...
It would be nice to add a link or a button...
Is there any way I can do this...
Dhananjay Rele

Hi Dhananjay,
According to your description, you have a drilldown report where you have different summary report and entries for toggling down to see detail reports. Now you want to select different summary reports, collect detail reports of those selected summary reports
and put them into a PDF file by using a link or button, right?
In Reporting Service, we cannot collect part of the report into a PDF by only using a link or button directly. What we can do is using parameter to filter multiple records, and using “Go to a report” action and passing this parameter to another report.
Then show the detail information on this report based on different summary. At last export this detail report to a PDF file. We have tested this case in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
Go to your summary report. Create a parameter for summary (select allow multiple values).
Create a filter in dataset.
Create a new Textbox, type “View Detail” in it. Right click on this Textbox, select Textbox Properties.
Select Action tab. In select a report from the list, select your detail report. Add the summary parameter in Use these parameters to run the report.
Go your detail report. It supposes to have a parameter for drilldown already, now you just need to select allow multiple values in Parameter Properties.
Also create a filter in your dataset (use the parameter you have created for drilldown).
Save and preview.
Select summary in dropdown list and click “View Report”.
Click view Detail.
Export report into PDF file.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How can I make a pdf book with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time

How can I make a pdf book (single pdf file with several pages) with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time. ( Or )how can I attach all those pictures converted pdf's into one pdf file which obviously results in to a single pdf file with several pages in it ?

Adobe Reader on the iPhone is a PDF reading app. It's not a creation app.
You need to get an app like Pages which is intended for page layout. It can place pictures from the phone and export PDF.

I have a new computer with Windows 7 professional, Office 2007, Adobe XI. I have just created a word document and tried save it as a PDF but the PDF option doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Any ideas please? Thank you.

I have a new computer with Windows 7 professional, Office 2007, Adobe XI. I have just created a word document and tried save it as a PDF but the PDF option doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Any ideas please? Thank you.

What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.

Save as PDF option in MS Word 2007 does not create TOC links

Hello All,
i am using Microsoft Office Word 2007 to create How to Guides, Installation Manuals, and other technical documents. I send these documents to customer in PDF format.
When i use "Save as PDF" option of MS Word 2007 to generate PDF file, it creates the PDF but without TOC links. TOC entries are there but hyperlinks are missing.
Can anyone please provide me a solution to work around this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
It seems that you are trying to insert a Hyperlink in you document which you want to save as a PDF file from Word 2007,
but when you open the PDF file there is no such a Hyperlink but only the website address.
If there is anything misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
Try this:
When you have inputted the website address, enter an “Space” or “Enter” behind it to make it
turn into a Hyperlink before you save the document into PDF file.
Sincerely,
Fangfang

The Save as PDF option in the Printer dialog is not supported.

My client is asking me to save a separations PDF file. But whenever I save it to PDF, a this message pops out: The Save as PDF option in the Printer dialog is not supported. I'm using InDesign cs5 and Adobe PDF 9.0. I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.6.

What it says is correct, have a look at this post here.

PDF documents not opening in Mozilla at all, PDF option is not there under the options tab applications

Hi,
Firefox has automatically been "asking me" if I want to save the pdf document instead of showing them in the browser. I have update 22. I have tried to look for the pdf options under the options>applications settings and it doesn't even show up! Is this because I updated? I updated on July 4th and didn't need a pdf until now and this problem showed up. Before, I did not have this problem. PDFs were opening on the browser and I had that pdf option under the application's list.
So I don't know what to do since I don't even have that option on here. What should I do?

Hi thank you for taking the time to reply.
''"You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader"''
Yes, I have Adobe Reader installed and that's my preffered option. I have recently and manually uninstalled Adobe reader,Reinstalled it again, restarted my computer, and I am still having the same problem. I cannot see the option to preview the pdfs in firefox using adobe. It either uses the the Firefox pdf reader Zeon? or the other option is to Always ask me to download it to my desktop.
I have attached what I see, maybe you can help me based on that. It seems the plugins work well (Figure 2) but only the pdf plugin for adobe to be previewed in firefox is missing (Figure1).
Also, I attempted to re-initialize the plugin database but it still gives me the same option as always.
''"You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer." ''
No, if I set it to "true" then the pdf option under applications disappears. So I have kept it as false. (Figure 3 shows that it goes missing, not the same as in Figure 1)

Update pushed from Adobe for Acrobat X failed and now the "print to a PDF" option is missing. How do I get it back?

Adobe pushed a security update to my computer and the update failed. Now the "print to PDF" option is missing from all of my programs. How do I get it back?
Version X.1.12.

Thanks. That's exactly what I did, but from the Adobe help screen. It did the trick, but I'm not very happy with Adobe for messing up my system.
I appreciate your answering back.

Save as pdf option doesn't work

I'm running OS X 10.3.9 and MS Word 2004. Whenever I try to use the new option in the Print dialog "Save as pdf" the button is always greyed out. I've gone through all of my on-line help options and can't find any help with how to make this work. Do any of you know why my "Save as pdf" option isn't available?
Thanks!
Peg

Peg,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Make sure that you have a PDF Services folder in both of these locations:
1. Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/PDF Services
2. Macintosh HD/Library/PDF Services
If the PDF Services folder is missing from either of these locations, create a new folder, name it PDF Services, and place it in the missing location.

Missing PDF Options in Acrobat Pro 8

For some reason, on some machines in the office "PDF Options" is missing when we try to print to the Adobe PDF 8.0 printer under OS X 10.4.10. Both machines are Intel-based.
Two of the machines in the office have the option, two don't.
We thought it was something specific to these machines. Then yesterday, on a brand new MacBook Pro, we reinstalled a user's license from the DVD and the same thing happened: no PDF Options. This machine had been used for two days. Microsoft Office 2004 installed, Firefox and that's it - otherwise bog standard. Never had an Adobe product on it, never had Acrobat on it. Updated to 8.1.1, no change.
We've tried completely uninstalling, trashing all the Adobe and Acrobat-related items in /Library and ~/Library, same with prefs. We've searched the entire machine for any string that includes 'adobe' or 'acrobat' and trashed them, emptied the trash, restarted, then reinstalled (re-serialising in the process). We've reset the printing system and added the printers back.
We've cleaned the cache files (using AppleJack, a great little utility), repaired permissions, reinstalled the 10.4.10 Combo Updater, DiskWarriored the machine.
We're tearing our hair out, because in our office, this option is vital to the daily work flow.
Is anyone else seeing this? Anyone got a reliable fix?

I "think" that there may be a way to correct this, but it's at your own peril if it doesn't. Then again what have you got to lose? Here is something from another public forum. It's about Acrobat 6.x and 7.x but it sounds like the same issue. If you decide to try this and it works let us know.

Re: Acrobat 7 Pro: missing PDF Options menu in all applications
Hi all,
I solved this error with Acrobat 7 by deleting the com.adobe.print.AdobePDF7 folder from the user library preferences. It may be missed by those who are deleting preferences because it is not grouped with the com.adobe.acrobat.xxx.plist files.
The equivalent folder for Acrobat 6 is called com.adobe.print.AdobePDF located in the users home library preference folder.
I hope this helps.
Best,
John"
