PDF Creation without Ability to Print or Save PDF

I am looking for what it takes to make a PDF non printable or savable. Is there attrabutes or parameters that need to be sent into the creation funtion to stop the print and save of the PDF.
Let me know.
Thank you.

There are security settings in File>Properties>Security if you open the file after creation. If you were using InDesign or some other applications (you didn't say) to create the original file, some of them will allow setting these security settings when you use the export of convert functions.
Keep in mind that Adobe PDF security is like a plastic padlock. Very easy to get around.

? left out past name ability in Print dialog " save as PDF "

i , like many use the print dialog to save as PDF. In the interest of minimizing steps I would clik on a file, highlight the name, copy it with command C with my left, and hit print, command P with my right. quick track ball over to save as PDF and left hand paste in the name with command V. Now with the most advanced iteration of Mac os ican sync my pictures with everything else owned Apple but don't have the time because I can no longer do a time saving, world famous Mac originated "cut and paste" that i"ve been able to use since OS 4.3 to get done my work. What is going on ? By itself this wouldn't be such a big deal to fix, but this is just one of the truly cool tools no longer available for work. Is the mac finally the toy that Apple spent years making sure it would never become. Why not slown down and do it right and maybe not so often.
Tom

What do you mean you can't Cut and Paste, it is still the same as it has always been. Cut= cmd+x Paste= cmd+v

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form?

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form? I have provided my clients a lifecycle .pdf form they can use to record data for unique client meetings. They want the ability to save their completed data whenever they use the form under a unique file name. I've told them the only way I know how to do this is to print the completed form as a .pdf document and then save it.
Is their a way to save the data to a unique file name without printing the filled form?
Is there a way to reset the form with blank fields after saving? or to add a clear fields button?
Thanks.

If you reader extend a pdf using livecycle reader extensions then you can save the filled in data - this is true if you are using Adobe reader to view the PDF's. If you open it in Acrobat then the functionality is already there.

TURBOTAX 2014 CD DOES NOT PERMIT OFFLINE PRINT OR SAVE TO PDF. YOU CAN ONLY SAVE TO PDF OR PRINT IF ONLINE. BIG SECURITY ISSUE. INTUIT IN WSJ ARTICLE BLAMES APPLE, SAYING APP STORE SOFTWARE RESULTED IN THIS. TRUE?

Starting this year, Turbotax CD/download versions will not permit people to print tax forms when offline. If you try to print while not connected to the Internet, you receive the warning “There was a problem connecting to Intuit’s Secure Print Service. Please check your Internet connection or try again later.” Indeed, Paragraph 9 of the Intuit Software End User License Agreement states: "You may save your return as a PDF file and understand it may be processed on Intuit servers, not as part of the Software."
Even if you wish to protect your data by not exposing it to the Internet, Turbotax will not let you without sharing your entire return first with them. They prohibit you from only printing locally on home, cable-connected printers.
The result of this is that people who tried to be safe by never going online with tax data, are this year being forced by Intuit software to expose all their sensitive tax information files to the Internet and Intuit print server, even though they do not wish to. Turbotax is putting you at risk.
On Feb 19 the Wall Street Journal quoted an Intuit spokesperson blaming Apple: According to Julie Miller, an Intuit spokeswoman, TurboTax made the change “because the Mac product requires a special, third-party code library to support offline printing.” And she says, “based on Apple App Store guidelines, we could no longer distribute the third-party library with our software.” She said the change in the TurboTax Mac software was first made for 2013 tax returns, but last year customers had the option of printing returns without being connected to the Internet.
So is Apple to blame that I now have to expose my sensitive tax data to Intuit just to be allowed to save to PDF on my hard disk? And it's all Apple's fault?
Can anyone clarify this?

Thank you for this an the other posts. Particularly for Barney,
I have just discovered that Turbotax actually permits you to print (and save to PDF) documents from the Help
Center built into the program, even when you are OFFLINE. Works just like normal printing is supposed to. It just won't let you print actual tax forms. So I guess they were willing to violate Apple’s rules when you print information from their help center offline, but you just can't do the same with your own tax forms. Clearly this shows that what Intuit told Forbes was a fabrication.
They do in fact have the proper code in the program for printing and saving to PDF. They just deny you usage of that code for printing your tax returns, which they want to copy. I don’t think there can be any doubt about what they are doing. Surely they are not deceiving apple by allowing the limited print function?
We can only hope that a brave journalist will challenge them on this, since Intuit will not respond to customers.
Thank you for any views on this points.

How do I print all responses as pdf without selecting and printing just one response at a time?

How do I print all responses as pdf forms without selecting and printing just one response at a time?

Sorry this is not supported at this time. You can only download the responses as PDF one at a time.
You can export the response table and print the whole table but if you want to print each response individually you have to do it manually. Sorry.

I Created a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat X. Adobe Reader cannont print or save it?

I work for a foodservice company with different locations. Each location has Adobe Reader. I created a pdf form for each site to fill out, save and print for postings ect... They keep getting a printing error. "The document could not be printed" after that it says "No pages selected to print". They also are not allowed to save the file??? I want them to be able to print and save copies. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You need to disable that preference in the individual users versions on Reader, not your version of Acrobat.

and how do you enable the forms to be saved by reader in acrobat?

Users can get the newest Reader at Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions

Unable to print or save a pdf

I have Adobe X and my operating system is Windows XP. I just last week started not being able to print or save a pdf file. I get this message and then the program closes: "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." All pdf documents from any source. What gives?
Thanks

As far as Photoshop is concerned, that's all you need is the "Photoshop PDF" option.
As far as Word it may not be that until Acrobat 6 Pro that you were able to save PDF's from a button on the toolbar of Word. Same for other MS Office applications. But it also may be that if you're not running Acrobat Pro, and Acrobat Pro 6 or later at that, you might not be able to print from the print dialog box, unless you're saying you were able to do it in the past with your current setup.

How to set up Adobe Printer to save .pdf in folder

Good morning.
I am looking for guidance on how one can set up a virtual "adobe" printer that saves a print job as a .pdf in a specific shared folder.
Example:
1. External application creates a print job
2. Print job goes to a pre-named, virtual printer.
3. The virtual printer accepts the print job
4. The print job is turned into a .pdf document and the document is saved in a shared folder.
Additionally, can the naming convention of the saved folders be "dynamic"? In this scenario, a print job named "ABC123" is saved as "ABC123.PDF" and another print job named "XXX900" is saved as "XXX900.pdf", etc.
Appreciate the help.
medina

Yes.
Ideally it would be installed on the application server where the job is generated and sent to the specified printer (internal settings). Then when the job hits the printer it drops a .pdf in a shared folder.
Appreciate the help.

Ability to print to a pdf lost when going from Acrobat 9 to 11

I upgraded from Acrobat 9 standard to 11 standard and have lost the ability to print to a pdf. Where do i go to add a pdf printer? The PDF printer icon in the "printers and faxes area" has been removed.
Thank you

You will have to provide system info and other details. This is way too generic/ vague.

Can you "print" or save to a PDF on an iPad?

Can you "print" or save to a PDF on an iPad?

Sure, but as the saying goes, you need an app for that.

Lost ability to print to .pdf in Illustrator 6

When we had to reinstall OS 10.4.11 Tiger, we lost the ability to print to .pdf in our old Illustrator 6.
Tried to add Adobe .pdf 7.0 to printer list. We have Acrobat 7 Standard. Seemed to allow the add but printer cue keeps jumping to "jobs stopped" on its own when try to create file.

But did you repair Acrobat? The Adobe PDF printer is a function of Acrobat, not Adobe Reader. Uninstalling/reinstalling Acrobat does essentially the same thing as a repair, but takes a bit longer.

I need pdf files so I can export, not hard copy. When I 'print' then 'save as pdf', I get blank docs. Why? How can it be resolved?

I need pdf files so I can export, not hard copy. When I 'print' then 'save as pdf', I get blank docs. Why? How can it be resolved?

Which version of Acrobat?
What app are you printing from?
Which version of Mac or Windows?
Do these seem to be normal PDF documents - but just blank pages? How many blank pages?

Cannot print or save pdf from Safari

When I try to open a page in preview from Safari to save it to my document management program or print it from Preview, I get the error message "Error in printing". Any thoughts?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Can't Print or Save in Adobe Acobat Reader DC

I was using an older version of Acrobat reader and deleted it because it wasn't updating since 2012. I loaded the Adobe Acobat Reader and it will not print or save. Using Mac OS 10.10.2.

Hi Ben,
This could happen due to an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC installation file corruption. I will recommend you to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, restart your system & reinstall Adobe Acrobat Reader DC using this link Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions.
You can also refer to this KB doc. for help Troubleshoot PDF printing | Acrobat, Reader
Let me know if the issue persist.
Regards,
Aadesh
