No Adobe PDF or EPS available in InDesign "Print Booklet?"

I am  running Windows 7 and  have InDesign CS6 and Acrobat X Pro installed. I need to save a multi-page document in booklet form to a PDF to send to a service provider. When I try to use the “Print Booklet” routine there are no presets for Adobe PDF or EPS. A non-Adobe PDF creator that I have installed does show up but it is inadequate for this job. Exporting the document to Adobe PDF works just fine. but that doesn't impose the proper page sequence, Can’t seem to find an answer anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure that the PDF virtual printer is actually installed after Acrobat 9 since it no longer works in Mac after Snow Leopard.
There are scripts that will allow you to do simple two-up impositions that don't use creep, and an inexpensive (used to be free, and might be still) plugin for more complex impositions: Overview | IDImposer
But this printer is really not doing his job if he wants you to d the imposition, and I'd be very suspicious of his ability to output your file correctly. Do you have other options?

  • Windows 8 - Adobe PDF Viewer Not Available

    I have two new Dell touchscreen laptops with Windows 8 (not 8.1).
    I am unable to get the tile/app integrated browser to open PDF files.   Upon downloading a PDF it reports "Adobe PDF Viewer Not Available".
    I've gone to the app store from Microsoft, and downloaded the tile/app reader, and it reports being installed....but no joy.  I've gone to the Adobe site, and looked for and installed any/all Windows 8 viewers I can find, but it still doesn't work.
    I CAN view PDF files by clicking on the Windows key, clicking on the desktop, opening IE, then using the Adobe Reader 11 that was installed.  This seems so pointless, because the only way to view a PDF is to take about 4 extra clicks than I do in Ubuntu, Windows 7, or a Mac.
    What's up with this?

    Internet Explorer has two versions on Windows 8/RT.
    (a) The desktop version of IE supports plugins and accelerators.  This is the version that you launch from the Windows 8/RT desktop.
    (b) The Windows Store app version (with "Modern" or "Metro" UI) of IE is touch-optimized, full screen, and plugin free. This is the version that you launch by tapping/clicking the tile in the Start screen.
    See the Microsoft documentation titled Get ready for plug-in free browsing.
    "Starting with Windows 8, IE is one web platform that provides two browsing experiences: the new IE in the new Windows UI optimized for touch devices, and the traditional browsing experience of Internet Explorer for the desktop. As a Windows app, Internet Explorer runs without plug-ins so that you have a clean, fast, and secure web browsing experience, while also providing a native Adobe Flash player. "
    Similarly, Adobe Reader also has two versions on Windows 8/RT.
    (a) The desktop version is called Adobe Reader XI. It is a mature product that has been available in the market for the past 20 years and offers a rich set of features.  It supports in-browser viewing of PDFs by installing the browser plugin to the desktop version of IE.  However, the downsides of the desktop version are the incompatibility with the Windows RT operating system and security vulnerabilities. In general, the desktop version is less secure than the Windows Store app version.
    (b) The Windows Store app version is called Adobe Reader Touch.  It is a relatively new product that was introduced a year ago.  It does not support in-browser viewing of PDFs because of the security restrictions that are imposed on all Windows Store apps. It is compatible with both Windows 8 and RT operating systems. 
    Because the Windows Store app version of IE is designed to be plugin-free, no other desktop/Windows Store apps (hence, not even Adobe Reader XI) can install additional plugins (other than the Flash support that is built-in by default).
    If you want the in-browser PDF viewing support, you need to use the desktop version of IE and the desktop version of a PDF viewer like Adobe Reader XI.
    This is the application architecture decision that Microsoft has made deliberately. It's not a bug or oversight.
    Microsoft has the Windows Store app version of PDF viewer called "Reader".  It may be possible for Microsoft to add the in-browser PDF viewing support using Reader (just like Google Chrome does) in a future release of the Windows Store app version of IE.  But it did not happen in the newer version of the operating systems: Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1.
    If you have any feature requests/suggestions/questions regarding the Windows Store app version of IE, please visit the Microsoft forum instead.

  • Adobe PDF installed and set as default printer causes incorrect pagination in Excel

    I have come across an interesting bug. When Adobe PDF is installed and set as the default printer, Excel produces incorrect and inconsistent pagination--in my case one of the sheets is printed to two pages wide rather than three it should be (when Adobe PDF is not installed), resulting in 9 printed pages instead of 11. I have created a test case to reproduce it.
    The sample file is located here: goo.gl/ZBiWj
    The test case is here: goo.gl/6KbrO
    Instructions are given on how to reproduce the error. The same error occurs when printing the sample file to Adobe PDF as a printer. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    Actually, the problem isn't really Acrobat or the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance at all. The problem is that Microsoft Excel as well as other Microsoft Office applications adjust their printed output based on the characteristics of whatever is chosen as the current printer. This has been an issue since the earliest days of Windows.
    Each printer driver instance contains information about the specific printer including but not limited to page size, duplex capability, paper types, page orientation, output trays, imageable area (i.e., page size less unprintable margin areas), and device resolution. Based upon what Excel finds as values for a number of these characteristics, Excel will format the page differently. Excel is particularly sensitive to not only page size, but also imageable area and device resolution. Imageable area is important because Excel is attempting to avoid printing at all on parts of the page that your printer cannot possibly image; this is typically about one quarter inch around for most laser printers, a bit less for inkjet printers unless you have a printer that claims edge-to-edge print capability.
    The Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance has imageable areas that exactly match page size for all available page sizes. Thus, Excel formats on the basis that it can print all the way to edge of the page unless you set margins otherwise. It also defaults to 1200dpi. Change the device resolution to another setting via printer properties and you will likely see relayout. These same issues occur with Word and to some degree with PowerPoint.
    There is absolutely nothing that Adobe can do about this. The same problem is exhibited if you have access to multiple different printer models with different characteristics on your computer and you change from one to another, even if you don't have any Adobe software loaded on your system. Users have complained to Microsoft for years about this issue, but they typically have not considered this an important issue to tackle (ribbon user interfaces are obviously much more important).
    Sorry, but not anything we can really do to help you here other than to advise you to always compose your Microsoft documents with the current printer being the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance, create a PDF file, and then print that from Reader/Acrobat to your real target printer. Alternatively, if you are very careful to setup the print characteristics of a spreadsheet to have large enough margins and headers/footers outside what would be the target devices non-printing area, you might get a bit better device independence - but don't count on it.

  • Shared 64-bit Adobe PDF Converter, "Invalid Handle" error. (Print request from 32-bit computer)

    I have at my disposal a Windows 7, 64-bit, Laptop and a Windows Server 2008, 32-bit.
    My Adobe CC suite is installed on the laptop, but the server needs to stay as bare-bones as possible.
    There are embedded help files in some of the software (on the server) that I wanted to convert to a PDF rather than print out. As with many printers, I figured I could share the PDF driver installed by the Acrobat Pro software, and then simply send the spool over from the server. I initially ran into missing driver issues, so I googled a solution where there are additional drivers found in the Program Files (x86). However, there were several cryptically named "*.inf" files that all pointed to some 6 driver certificates that all had the same name. Talk about directions being useless, even if they were right. In any case, the first driver installation came with promising results but no final file. I figured I could just update the shared, 32-bit, driver, but go figure that the option to refresh the secondary driver was nowhere to be found. The shared dialogue recognized that I clearly installed one, but a manual update or removal option was not provided.
    I am at a point where I would like Adobe to just show me some love, and throw me the 32-bit Adobe PDF Converter installer that would have been embedded in earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat. If anybody could lead me in the right direction to solving my problem, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Acrobat is not licensed for use on the server. If you can print to postscript on the server, you can take the postscript files and distill them on your version of Distiller.

  • Error with InDesign "Print Booklet"

    I'm trying to print a 72 page document with the "Print Booklet" feature on my new 11x17 printer.
    I get this error message: "The active document uses multiple page sizes. Print Booklet works only with documents that use a consistent page size" but all of the pages in the document are the same size.
    Anything I can do to get this working? I've got CS6 with all the updates.

    Any ideas as to what  - if anythjing I can do?

    Hi,
    Technically acrobat 7 not not designed for windows 7 OS. You can try to install the pdf printer manually but it's not guaranteed :
    Click the Windows "Start" menu, select "Control Panel," choose "Hardware and Sound," click the "Add a Printer" link under Devices and Printers.
    Click "Next" and select "Local Printer Attached to This Computer."
    Remove the check from "Automatically Detect and Install My Plug and Play Printer" and click "Next."
    Select "My Documents\\*.pdf (Adobe PDF)" in the port selection drop-down menu and click "Next."
    Select the "Have Disk" option and click the "Browse" button to open a dialog box.
    Select the "AdobePDF.inf" file located in the AdobePDF folder in your Program Files directory under "Adobe" | "Acrobat 9.0" | "Acrobat" | "Xtras."
    Select the first item on the list of Adobe PDF Converter options and click "Next."
    Type "Adobe PDF" in the field for a printer name and click "Next."
    Wait for two minutes for the system to process the drivers and click "Finish" to close the Add a Printer wizard.
    Hope this helps.

  • Adobe PDF Printer is no longer available after an update

    To better understand the steps that have lead to this:
    I tried to print a corrupt PDF to a smaller page size (didn't know it was corrupt until then). After quite a while Acrobat crashed with an unknown exception. From this point on Adobe PDF never asked for a file destination again and did not create any more PDFs through the Adobe PDF Printer.
    I uninstalled the Printer and re-installed. Nothing changed: No destination file dialogue, no PDF created. So I uninstalled it again, and also uninstalled Acrobat. Re-installing from the Master Collection DVD didn't work (installing took about 3h and then simply cancelled), so I re-installed the whole Master Collection.
    Adobe PDF printer was gone. And only seen when I again re-installed but did NOT update all the programs.
    Now I have updated the Master Collection again, and the Adobe PDF printer is gone. And nowhere to be found again... anyone knows what could have happened?
    Oh, I'm running Snow Leopard of course...

    the problem is that save as Adobe PDF does not work from the printing dialog ( Saving a PDF file while printing is not supported. Please choose "File" > "Save as".).
    There's also the problem that by saving as Adobe PDF, I cannot choose the output size of the file if I'd want to rescale a PDF (for publishing purposes). Is there any way to work this around?

  • Printing to Adobe PDF from AI CS6

    Hi.
    I gotta weird problem.
    Some time ago i bought Adobe Design Premium CS6 for MAC OSX.
    So, as You all probably know - I got Acrobat PRO with Adobe PDF driver.
    But this driver is not shown in the Print dialog box in Adobe Illustrator.
    I can print to "postscript file", but I can't choose PPD "Adobe PDF", so:
    - I can't change printed document's size
    - I can't change printerd document's orientation
    - I can't print file with trimboxes etc.
    I had the same problem with InDesign, but I've found a folder where I should copy Adobe PDF PPD - but I can't find it in AI folder.
    Does anybody know a way to fix it?
    I need that function back, quick :-)

    OK.
    I use Acrobat 10.1.8 - and for example in AI I don't have a button called "Save As Adobe PDF".
    Other question is if using that button (if I had one) it is possible to add trimboxes and manually choose document's size?

  • How to control "Adobe PDF" Printer?

    Hello Everyone,
         We have a designed a large crystal report containing around 270 pages with lots of high quality images related to properties available for sale. When we try to export this report to PDF after exporting 20-50 pages (depending on the system resources available) it fails with a out of memory error ( occurs with all PDF printers like PDFCreator, Adobe PDF, etc). This error is due to a limitation of crystal reports to handle a large number of images.
         As a workaround, I tried exporting the pages of a crystal report 1 after another into a temp folder and then merged them together. I could easily do this with PDFCreator. But our client has purchased a ADOBE Acrobat X Pro edition and insists on using the same. By default he has the "Adobe PDF" printer default settings (Adobe PDF->Adobe PDF Settings Tab -> Default Settings combo) set to "Standard" print quality.
         Since I will be printing the crystal report page by page. I provide the user a custom print dialog (c#) to accept the settings he desires. When the client selects the "High Quality Print" job option, I would like to print all 270 pages one after another into a specified folder and then merge them together and provide him a save dialog to move the file to the location he desires. I would then like to revert the "Adobe PDF Printer" back to its old settings.
        Is there any way to achieve this? I have been looking at the ADOBE registry keys using process monitor but somehow it seems that the settings are just getting saved here. Changing the registry keys does not reflect in "Adobe PDF" when I go to the printing preferences.
         Any help will be truly appreciated
    From,
    Patrick.

    Thank you for your suggestions.
    @TestScreenName : Yes, I have downloaded the Adobe SDK Library
    @Irosenth : Only specific users have permissions to print these large reports and they will do it on their local machines wherein they each have a full version of Adobe Acrobat. I had seen the silent printing option and understand it. I am more concerned however with the following as seen in my original post
    "  Since I will be printing the crystal report page by page. I provide the user a custom print dialog (c#) to accept the settings he desires. When the client selects the "High Quality Print" job option"
    My question here is if the user selects any print settings in the custom dialog where (registry?) & how do I set it so that the Adobe PDF printer  detects the option selected. Is there any API provided  for the same? After printing all the pages I will have to reverts the settings of the printer.

  • Prints too small on HP Inkjet 2800, prints too large on Adobe PDF Printer

    I have been having this problem with all Macs in my network:
    Whenever I need to print anything on my HP Inket 2800 printer, from either InDesign or Illutrator, it will print really small, even though "fit to page" is unchecked, size is at 100% and page sizes are correctly chosen. It will even ignore the Position settings (if I choose centered, it will print on upper left). If I export the PDF it shows fine and I can print perfectly through Acrobat.
    If I choose to print over Adobe PDF, I get the opposite: InDesign will enlarge everything a lot and maintain the paper size for some reason. This way, I can't use Print Booklet to generate PDF files.
    I have tried reinstalling the HP printer drivers, without success.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Just got off the phone with Adobe and found a cure.
    Open print dialog box.
    Go to Set up
    the paper size: scroll to top and select defined by driver.
    It worked for both the HP 8150 and Xerox Phaser 7700
    I'm running CS3 on Mac Intel G5 OS X 10.5.5.

  • Acrobat won't print to installed printer, only to adobe pdf file

    This is a sudden problem, started about a week ago.  When I open or download a pdf file - any file - and try to print, the print box reads "adobe pdf."  No matter which installed printer I try to print to, the entry flashes back to adobe pdf.  This happens in Acrobat 7.  I downloaded the newest version of Reader, and it does the same thing.  No, the print to file box is not checked.  These files can be opened and printed from any other computer in the office, so it's not the files.  Using Windows 7 and the printer is HPx476dn.  Help?

    Hi Maureen,
    Can you please elaborate your issue? 
    Do you want to set a different printer as default printer?
    If yes, then please follow the steps in this KB doc. Change the system default printer

  • Acrobat 11 Pro - problem with right-click "Convert to Adobe PDF" output folder

    I'm migrating from one machine running Windows XP Pro with Acrobat 8 Pro to Windows 7 Pro with Acrobat 11 Pro.
    On the XP machine, when I right-click on a document and select "convert to Adobe PDF" the process works just fine - it always outputs the file to the target destination I have set in the Adobe PDF printer definition.
    On the Windows 7 Pro/Acrobat 11 Pro machine, the exact same settings are ignored: the PDF will always end up in the same folder as the source file.
    Both the source folder and the destination folder are on one of my office's networked drives.
    Under the Printing Preferences, I have the output folder address set the same on both machines, so it *should* go to the right location on the new machine.
    Oddly enough, on the Acrobat 11 Pro machine, if I select Adobe PDF as the default printer and do a test print, it *does* print to the correct folder!
    This has got me stumped!
    Thoughts?
    (update from later in the day)
    If Adobe PDF is selected as the default printer, I *can* select a bunch of documents, right-click, select "print", and Word will open up, and they'll print to the correct target folder.
    So, it's "just" the right-click "Convert to Adobe PDF" that doesn't work correctly.

    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.

  • Is it possible to remove Adobe PDF 8.0 from the list in "Add Printers"

    When I add a printer on my system, there is a printer named "Adobe PDF 8.0" on the Add Printer list. I believe that this is a remnant left over from previous versions of the operating system (from Leopard or so). Can this item be deleted from this list? It isn't functional at all, and I'd rather not have it cluttering up the list. I've searched through the system looking for anything that could be causing this item to be listed there, but there appears to be no .PPD file or any entry in a .plist file that I can find. I've seen other people asking about this printer, but more from the perspective of "how to get it working" or "how do I print to PDFs now?". That isn't my question. I just want to nuke this item from my "Add Printers" list like it never happened. Thanks for any leads you can offer.
    See screen shot below if you are confused as to what I am talking about. The top "Adobe PDF 8.0" is from my computer. The second one is something someone is incorrectly sharing from their computer (which I will remove as soon as I get access to it).

    I tried manually removing some files but still the Adobe PDF 8 appeared in the Add Printers > Default view.
    I then ran the Adobe Acrobat uninstaller and this successfully stopped the Adobe PDF 8 "printer" from appearing. Thankfully the Uninstaller also created a log file that I have posted below showing all that was removed from the Mac. Note that you probably don't have all the files listed, especially if you have already removed Acrobat 8 from this Mac, but if you remove the files that are remaining then this will be sure to stop the printer from appearing.
