New PC Windows 7, Acrobat 9 toolbar, pdf printer

and save as PDF don't work nor appear. Pop up MSG says Adobe app. not found, contact administrator. I suspect it's a 64 bit issue but
do not know next steps in spite of hours of searching on line in forums and Google. Any help appreciated, and yes it worked fine before in
32 bit Vista. JIm
BTW downloaded and installed the only Adobe 64 bit filter for Acrobat Pro 9.0 available. No change.

OK here's the deal, it's a windows 7 permissions issue. Had to download some amateur
.exe files to override the protection for program installation, and now it works. Adobe would
recognize my serial numbers though so now I'm on a 30 day trail and will have to fight with some CS person on the other side of the world to get my software (legal and paid for) recognized.
Of course now my security is compromised, what a challenge MS has handed me for W7!

  • Acrobat X pdf printer crashed by Acrobat XI

    I accidentally installed Acrobat XI 30 days trail on my computer, but after I uninstall it, my existing Acrobat X pdf printer doesn't work,  that Adobe Acrobat X pdf printer still use acrobat XI's path......
    how can I fix it????

    Run Acrobat 10 and under the Help menu items, select Repair Acrobat Installation. If that doesn't fix the problem, you will likely need to full uninstall Acroabat 10, reboot (this is important), and then fully reinstall Acrobat 10.

  • Acrobat 8 PDF printing with Windows 8.1/MS office 2013

    I upgraded computer to Windows 8.1 and MS office professional 2013 and reinstalled adobe acrobat 8. 
    When I try to create pdf files from office 2013 document (Excel, Word, Publisher), computer freezes when window opens to select pfd document destination.
    I tried opening office document in acrobat and try to create pdf file. I get pdf maker missing at this point. 
    Before updating computer I ran compatibility tool and it indicated my acrobat 8.3.1 was compatible with Windows 8.1; however noted that I needed to go to adobe website for help with adobe ExtendScript toolkit 2.  I don’t know what adobe ExtendScript toolkit 2 is and if it is associated with Adobe Acrobat or CS3.

    I have no idea about the extend tool. You need to update to the latest version of AA 8, but it appears you are there with 8.3.1. You should print to the Adobe PDF printer. OFFICE 2013 is not compatible with the AA8 PDF Maker. So far I have only seen one person suggesting success with AA8 and Win8.1. If you can give details about your problem, we might be able to help, but you may not be successful. Only time and trial will tell.

  • New Browser Window from Hyperlinks on PDF created in In Design

    I am creating PDF documents using In Design CS3.  The PDFs have hyperlinks to other PDFs as well as hyperlinks to webpages. The finalized PDF is being accessed through our website as a link on the webpage. The PDF is opening in a new browser window/tab and the hyperlinks are working great.  My problem is this: How do I get it so that the hyperlinks on the PDF open to a new browser window as well.  Currently, when I click a link, it changes the current browser window that the PDF is in.  I want to set this so that anyone, from any computer will have it so that the link opens a new window/tab.

    In Adobe Acrobat (the application, not the .pdf reader) use the Link Tool to edit the hyperlinked text object. Remove the “Open a web link” action assigned by default to handle the hyperlinked text when clicked. Assign a new action to the linked text that will open the hyperlink in a new window.
    Note: The links have to be established each time you create a PDF – they do not carry over from In Design or any other software.
    1.     Access the Link tool (Tools > Advanced Editing > Link Tool)
    2.     Right click on the hyperlinked text and select Properties
    3.     In the Link Properties dialog box click on the Actions tab
    4.     In the middle of the Actions panel in the Actions section click on the Open a web link action listed there to select it.
    5.     Click the Delete button located just below that section in the lower right corner. This removes the action from the list and the Actions section should now be empty.
    6.     In the Add an Action section right above the Actions section click on the Select Action drop down menu and select the Run a JavaScript action from the list.
    7.     Click the Add… button.
    8.     In the JavaScript Editor that opens up, click your cursor in the Create and Edit JavaScripts area, like you would in a word processor to begin typing, and type the following line:
    app.launchURL("http://www.MySampleURL.com/someFolder/somePage.html", true);
    9.     Change the hyperlink text between the quotation marks to your desired URL.
    Ex: app.launchURL("http://www.cnn.com", true);
    Caution:
    1.     The code is case sensitive so make sure you typed app.launchURL NOT app.launchurl or some other case combination.
    2.     Make sure that you have quotation marks around your hyperlink URL.
    3.     Make sure there is a semicolon at the end of the line of code you just typed.
    4.     Make sure that the quotation marks are straight up and down – not on an angle.
    10. Click OK to close the JavaScript Editor dialog box.
    11. Click OK to close the Link Properties dialog box.
    12. Save the .pdf and test your .pdf hyperlink by opening the .pdf document in a browser, click the link and check to see that it opens in a new browser window.

  • Compatibility of IE9 with Adobe Acrobat 9 PDF printer

    Hello,
    I know from reading this document that the Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker is not supported in IE9:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
    Does this only apply to the PDFMaker utility located within the browser, or does it also apply to the Adobe PDF printer that is available as a choice if I try to print a webpage?
    I ask because every time I try to print a webpage to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer (NOT the PDFMaker) using the following sequence of steps:
    1. right clicking on the page
    2. clicking "Print...",
    3. selecting "Adobe PDF" from the list of printers
    4. choosing a location for the destination .pdf file
    4. click "Print"
    a window pops up with the title "Creating Adobe PDF", but the progress bar never fills up and the PDF file is never created.  There is a spinning Adobe logo and a printer icon in the system tray.  If I double click on the printer icon, I can see the document I sent to the Adobe PDF printer.  The status is "Spooling".  Occasionallly the PDF document will eventually be created, but usually it isn't.
    I have better luck in Chrome, but sometimes it too hangs, although the documents are eventually created.
    Here are my specs:
    Windows Vista Business 64-bit
    IE 9.0.8112.16421 (both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions experience the problem)
    Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.5.5
    To summarize:
    Printing to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer and IE9 causes the "Creating Adobe PDF" step to hang forever.  I know IE9 is not compatible with PDFMaker, but what about the Adobe PDF printer?

    Hi,
    I believe I am having similar issues to yourself. I have been looking for solutions for a day or two now but can not find anything. Have you managed to find a resolution or work around?

  • Acrobat 7 pdf printer won't install

    Finally managed to get CS2 installed on a new Vista machine after old pc died, and apps appear to work. Acrobat 7 launches with no issues. However if I try to create a PDF from Word, it tells me the pdf printer isn't installed (and its not listed in printers). If I try to open the word file in acrobat, it tells me it can't find the adobe resources.
    Any idea what the problem is? CS2 wouldn't install to the /Programs (x86) folder - installed to a new folder called /Programs x86.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    George

    If you upgraded to VISTA X64, you also likely upgraded OFFICE also to OFFICE 2007. Both VISTA and OFFICE 2007 require AA8.1.2 I think (Vista had problems with earlier AA8 versions). Thus, AA7 is an issue that you are lucky if you get it to work in those environments. Actually it would be nice if MS would quit messing up their OS so that other software has to be upgraded. Adobe works at a rather low level of the system and getting all the bugs out when trying to follow MS specifications is apparently a real pain (think MS makes their specs kind of crazy on purpose - and folks often need to complain to MS rather than the software vendors). You might have heard that MS had to add their help system back in after the fact (they had purposely removed it from VISTA) since their own OFFICE products used the help system. Apparently a lot of companies also complained about Netmeeting that originally was dropped from VISTA and a new version was added that is VISTA compatible. Bill

  • Acrobat 8 pdf printer driver

    Running in Windows XP and try to publish to pdf from Word.  Get error message "can not located pdf printer's printer driver".  Need help 

    Assuming you have AA8 installed, you should have the Adobe PDF printer present as an active printer on you machine. If not, then open Acrobat, go to the help menu, and select repair. If you can not do that, then go to the Control Panel>Add/Remove programs and activate the repair there. You might also check for updates, you did not indicate the version of AA8 you are talking about.

  • Acrobat 7 PDF Printer

    For those trying to get the PDF Printer device from Adobe Acrobat or CS2 to work in 10.5.x, here's a short guide to getting it going despite Adobe's claims that it can't be fixed.
    First, make sure that you've got the latest version of Acrobat 7 install (7.1.0 at the time of this writing). Then, from within Acrobat, select the "Help->Detect and Repair" menu item. Make sure that "Adobe PDF Printer" is checked, click "Continue" and let it do its thing. Once it's done, you'll have the "Adobe PDF 7.0" printer listed in your "Print & Fax" control panel.
    Next, open the Terminal using an account with Admin privileges and type:
    sudo chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf700
    That should take care of it—at least, it did for me. YMMV.

    If you upgraded to VISTA X64, you also likely upgraded OFFICE also to OFFICE 2007. Both VISTA and OFFICE 2007 require AA8.1.2 I think (Vista had problems with earlier AA8 versions).

  • Acrobate X pdf printer

    I am running Mac os 10.5.8 and just installed Adobe CS5.5. I was running CS 4 with Acrobat pro 9, and I could print to pdf using adobe pdf 9.0. After I pdf'ed and opened in Illustrator and works fine. Now when I tell it to print it shows it saving but when i look for file it is not there and if I save to a pdf in acrobat it looks good but in Illustrator most of the text is distorted. Am I missing something or does Acrobat X not have a way to create a pdf printer.

    Works the same as Snow Leopard except Leopard doesn't remove the AdobePDF Printer. If you try to use it (AdobePDF Printer) you just receive an error message.
    Proper away as you say If go to Printer > then click on PDF and hold > then select from the list Adobe PDF or Adobe Quality PDF.

  • Acrobat X - PDF Printer Security allowing printing/conversion of autocad files

    Hello,
    Acrobat 10.1.1 and 10.0.0
    We have a situation where we want to set up the "Adobe PDF" printer to automatically secure our documents when printing from Autocad.
    The product will save the document with permissions but when the document is opened the Document is still able to be printed by another user.
    This is not the case when securing it from the Acrobat product itself and not trying to pre-program the printer defaults for the Adobe Printer like we want to do.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    If this is an existing issue, please forward me the appropriate KB article.
    Thanks

    The reinstall is typically the last ditch effort to do. The first step is Help>Repair and Help>Updates. As far as Office 2013, the PDF Maker of AA X is not compatible and you can only print. In your list of errors it showed a problem with AcroTray.exe. As a first step, go to the print and select print-to-file. The file will be a PS file (maybe with a PRN extension). Once the printer if finished, open the file in Distiller to complete the process. If that is successful, then the problem is with AcroTray. Check your running tasks to be sure AcroTray is indeed running. If not, that is likely the problem. If it is, then restart it (it is located in the Acrobat folder). AcroTray provides the interface between the PS creation and Distiller to automate the process of creating the PDF.

  • Access Windows Registry for Silent PDF Printing

    Hi All,
    I am trying to print a form (created in Livecycle Designer ES2) silently to PDF upon the click of (javascript) button on the form. I have Win XP and Acrobat 9 Pro. I feel close to achieving the goal however after some time and effort I am not sure the approach I am leaning toward is possible. So far I have the following:
    1. By following the Acrobat SDK / JS for Acrobat API reference I have been able to use the PrintParams object to set print properties including the page(s) to print and printer selection, however the code only works if, for the fileName property, I specify file type as postscript (.ps), when .pdf is used it does not work. JS used on click_event of my form button:
    var myDoc = event.target;
    var pp = myDoc.getPrintParams();
    pp.interactive = pp.constants.handling.none;
    pp.fileName = "/C/Test.ps";    
    pp.printerName = "Adobe PDF";
    pp.firstPage = 2;
    myDoc.print(pp);
    This works however I really want the filename to be something like "/C/Test.pdf" which does not work
    2. I have since learned that the windows registry...Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl can be manually modified so Adobe knows where to send the output file:
    Registry folder: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl
    I created new string under above folder with properties below:
         String value name: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acorbat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
         String value data: C:\Test.pdf
    The approach in 2. works in combination with the code in 1. (without the pp.filename property being specified) but the registry string would need to be manually created each time before printing which is not practical.
    Is anyone able to advise whether or not it is possible to create a new registry string using Javascript (looks like there are quite a few VBA examples of this for use with MSAccess) from acrobat? or maybe another way to print to a specified file to PDF using JS from Acrobat?
    Any help or advice is much appreciated,
    Kind regards,
    Adam

    So many security issues for the general public.
    You path name is not considered a "Safe Path", as it is a root directory and since many systems have system control files in the root directory, Adobe has blocked the access to this directory for security reasons.
    "Silent Printing" is possible to printer over the Internet and is considered a security risk, but you can write a special application level JavaScript function that could provide this on a single system.
    "Save as .."  is also considered a security risk and blocked except when a special application user written function is used.
    See the Acrobat JavaScript API Reference for more information about safe paths and silent printing and saving along with other restricted actions.

  • Adobe Acrobat X PDF Printer not printing to Network Share

    Until recently we have been able to print to PDF onto a network share/drive without an issue.  Now it does not work, and we are not sure if it is an antivirus blocking it or perhaps an Adobe update, or even a combination of the two.
    We can print to PDF fine to a local drive, or with an older version of Adobe Acrobat (8 or 9), just not with X.
    Has  anyone encountered this issue, or have any insight on what might be a solution to our problems?
    I have tried disabling all the antivirus services, but that had no change.
    I also reinstalled Adobe Acrobat X to see if it would work.
    Lyle

    I have just tried this, i.e.,  printing to a network shares (in this case a network share many miles away over a wireless internet connection from a hotel on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit), and have not been able to reproduce the problem.
    Please provide the particulars of your network shares. For what it is worth, the Adobe software simply creates and writes the file to whatever location you point to. It doesn't even know if the destination is local or remote or anything to do with the network topology if remote.
    You might also want to check any firewall software you might have installed to make sure that it is not blocking these remote file operations from Acrobat or any of its components.

  • Acrobat 9 PDF Printing Funny

    I have Acrobat 9 and the PDF files I get do not print
    correctly. They are either out of alignment or the biggest problem
    is some parts will print but the other parts are just a bunch of
    scattered around dots. Can you help me correct this problem?

    Thanks for the post. However this forum is specifically for
    Acrobat.com issues. Please visit the Acrobat user forums or contact

  • 10.3 acrobat 6 pdf prints tiny on page. preview ok. why?

    os x 10.3 in many programs and on various printers prints out page absolutely tiny in the corner of the paper. even though A4 is selected, it seems to think that the paper size is massive. but even if you select scale to fit, it still prints out tiny. v. annoying. any solutions?
    emac   Mac OS X (10.3)   printing to lexmark and hp printers

    Trying to wrap my brain around this one.
    Many programs? Are you printing different files or they same file? Is it a PDF?
    If PDF and in Acrobat, have you checked the page setup (CommandShiftP).
    This will let you know what size of paper Acrobat is expecting to print to.
    In the bottom left corner of your screen is the status bar which should show the size of the page in your document. Does this match the sheet size you are printing to? In your preview of the Page, are you seeing the entire page or is the view zoomed in?
    Sorry for all the questions but I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Acrobat can be down right nasty when it wants to.
    Let me know
