Pdf file opening after printing

I use Adobe Pro 9. When I print to a pdf I select the printer which is adobe Pdf, then save it to a location. The file is created in Pdf butit also opens up. Is there a setting where I can turn this off?

You have to change the default setting for the Adobe PDF Printer. You need to open the "Properties" panel for the Adobe PDF printer and then click on the 'Printing Preferences..." button. In the pop-up window uncheck the option for "View Adobe PDF results". There are also similar setting for Distiller and the PDF Conversion within MS Office.

  • Acrobat 9 - PDF doesn't open after print

    After updating Acrobat 9, my PDF printer was renamed to "Adobe PDF (Copy 1)" and after printing, the created PDF does not open automatically. How can I change the setting back to have the PDF open after printing?
    I tried renaming the printer to "Adobe PDF".  There is only one PDF printer.  I checked the settings of the printer, and believe them to be correct.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I do not know why you have a copy of the Adobe PDF printer. The original Adobe PDF printer is used for printing to a PDF and the settings are found in the properties under the settings tab. You might have to select the advanced button on the general tab first. Some of the properties require stepping into another level of menus.

  • PDF files open in colorsync and can't be printed

    In the last couple of weeks any downloaded PDF files open in Colorsync instead of Preview. I can't print them from Colorsync. I have repaied premissions. I don't know enough about computers to toss preferences, and I'm not sure which file to toss anyhow. It sort of feel like I've "lost" Preview, although the file is still on my hard drive. I appreciate any help any of you guys can give me in advance.

    Thomas:
    If I look for Preview in "find" it goes HD>Applications>Xcode tools>Preview.pkg. I Went through an install routine and then tried to open a PDF file using control/click. That lists the default program as Colorsync with option of Virex, Safari, Epson (scanner) or "other." If I select "other," and then "applications," I can't find Preview. I guess I just don't understand these applications very well. Preview used to open everytime I downloaded a PDDF file. thanks for trying to help. I guess I can always call Apple.

  • Orarrp can't print pdf file directly to printer

    oracle remote print utility (orarrp) can't print pdf file directly to printer.
    we expect orarrp utility can handle ".rrpa" file (i.e. pdf file generated on the application server) by directly print the file to the client's printer, i.e. invoke the acrobat reader on the client side, display the the printer selection dialogue, after confirmation print the pdf file, then the acrobat reader close automatically nicely.
    However we are disappointed as the acrobat reader startup and display the pdf file content but does not print and does not close.
    After testing the problem several times, there are some findings:-
    Finding (A):-
    (a) for the success of direct printing of pdf file, a physical path must be provided; we have tried 2 methods:
    1) using drag & drop to copy the pdf file directly to the browser
    2) open pdf file in the browser directly using browser menu-->File-->Open.
    (b) for the failure of direct printing, a virtual path is involved and we have also tried 2 methods:
    1) when web.show_document() is used
    2) enter the url to the URL bar of the browser,
    eg. http://appsvr.com:7777/report/test_printout/APPSVR1094707.rrpa (this is a virtual path/url)
    Finding (B):-
    (a)when the physical path is used, a temporary pdf file is generated in the same directory where the rrpa file exists in the application server,
    e.g. in application server: d:/printout/yyy.pdf is generated for d:/printout/xxx.rrpa when direct print occurs
    (b) however when the virtual path is used, there is no such temp "pdf" file generated and direct print failed.
    May be when virtual path is used, orarrp utility don't know where to generate the temp "pdf" so direct print doesn't occur.
    So, anyone has similar experience or further queries or has solutions, please join.
    Thanks for your attention.

  • Problem keeping .pdf file open - "volume externally changed..."

    I use Adobe Acrobat daily in my real estate business. I save or print a .pdf file of pretty much every document I use. Every day, I run into this problem: I'll have a .pdf file open for reference, and no matter what length of time I have the file open, whether 5 minutes or 30 minutes or anywhere in between, when I try to look back at the file and scroll down or up or even just click on the page somewhere, a little dialogue box pops up that says: The volume of the file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid." Then I click "OK" and try to navigate the file, and all my information in the file is blanked out, it's just a blank white page. I can exit out of the file and reopen and all my information is visible again, but after a bit of time, the same thing happens again. Very frustrating and time consuming, to have to keep exiting and reopening the file just to read it. I work on a shared drive of about 6 computers, but no one else is looking at the same file as me at the same point in time that I am accessing the file, so I know that's not the problem...Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated! Just FYI, I am running Windows 7, and the version of Adobe Acrobat I am running is Adobe Acrobat 8.3.1 Professional.

    Is the issue happening with all PDFs that you access? Or some of them? Could you try and get a new PDF from the web and try opening it and see if it might be a problem with the PDFs as such.

  • Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, aren't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen.  Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document.  Any ideas?

    Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, isn't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen.  Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document.  Any ideas?

    Figured it out.  It had nothing to do with the software levels of Safari or Adobe Acrobat.  Here's the fix:
    Open Finder/Applications
    Search "Internet Plug-Ins"
    Move any Adobe plug-ins to the trash
    Quit Safari
    Launch Safari
    Your pdf document should now render in Print Preview and print properly.

  • Whenever there is a pdf file open in one of the tabs then I can't use the scrolling (of my touchpad) in any other tab in FF4. How can this be corrected?

    Even if one of the open tabs contain a .pdf file opened in it, then I can't scroll the pages down in any other tab. Irrespective of which tab is active, the pages in the pdf get scrolled. :(
    I've tried to reinstall the Firefox, but that hasn't helped. In fact the problem continues even after I've done a complete system format.

    My workaround for this problem is to open the tabbed pdf document into a new Firefox window (Right-Click tab --> Move to New Window) which unlocks scrolling capabilities for all tabs in your original window.

  • PDF files open very slowly or not at all.

    I am experiencing an issue on a clients network where most pdf files open extremely slow or not at all. This issue is being experieced by both pc and mac uses, computers on and off the domain. Any one connected to the network. Has anyone seen an issue like this before. We are currently having Cisco troubleshoot the internet router but are not currently seeing any issues there. The isp has indicated that the circuit has tested cleanly. The issue is even seen when trying to download the pdf, it just seems to hang around 80-90 percent of the download.
    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreceiated.

    It MAY be that Adobe software slowness problems are caused by having a network
    printer as default... with the cure being to always have a local printer as a
    default (you don't have to USE it, just have it set to local as default) and
    this may be accomplished by using an Adobe Generic Printer Driver

  • Why won't some pdf-files open on tablet/phone?

    I simply get the error saying: The document cannot be opened because it's not a valid pdf-document.
    However I have no problems opening the file with my laptop, only my phone and tablet (Jellybean 4.2.2) won't open it.
    My friends also have managed to open the file on their tablets (android/windows).
    Have reinstalled and checked updates and tried other programs but none has worked for me.
    I simply have no clue and would appreciate help.

    Hey,
    Seems like the problem was in the web browser I was using, as the file just
    didn't download correctly.
    Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated.

    Hey,
    spent some time discussing this with some friends of mine and found out
    that the document can be opened by downloading it to the computer and
    transferring then to the tablet or phone. The difference is that when
    downloading with tablet/phone I get a .pdf file, which only has some html
    code. So I guess the problem has something to do with the encryption of the
    file. Here are the 2 different files I get as attachments. After all this
    might not have anything to do with adobe, but some other stuff I don't
    really understand.

  • Italic fonts are missing in Table in PDF files when we print it out

    We use Adobe reader10 to open one PDF files, fonts in Table are display correctly on screen, but italic fonts are missing in Table in PDF files when we print it out. Any ideas?
    The PDF display correctly when we use Adobe Reader 9 to open it or print it out.

    You need to get a new copy of the PDF.

  • Using browser javascript to copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Air app.

    I have posted this question on reader forum as well, but I think it is more suited here...
    I am trying to create a note-taking application in air. I want to extract selected text from pdf file as a string object or to the clipboard.
    Obviously, all pdfs in my local storage will not be scripted to recieve postMessages and act accordingly, and that is not practical either. So, my problem is, how can I copy the selected text in the pdf file (opened as an object in htmlloader within my Air app) to clipboard or directly in another control by say clicking a button in air application? I suppose, this is possible using javascript, however, I don't know which reader methods are exposed to the wrapper htmlloader control. In short, I want to execute app.execMenuItem("Copy") command through htmlloader javascript. Any alternate solutions are also welcome.
    This is similar to passing inbuilt commands/methods/functions (of adobe reader) to pdf-reader plugin embedded in a webpage via javascript. This is possible in IE where the pdf is rendered as activex object, and hence JSObject interface of pdf document/reader is accessible to the browser javascript. I have also read that this same JSObject is accessible to VB as interface for IAC, so as the Air is Adobe's own product, I was wondering if equivalent of JSObject is accessible to htmlloader control as well.
    Thanks in advance...

    Thank you Thom for your reply...
    from
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html
    ...Through JavaScript extensions, the viewer application and its plug-ins expose much of their functionality to document authors, form designers, and plug-in developers...
    As it is explicitly mentioned, that the functionality of adobe reader are exposed for plugin development, I thought someone here might have used external javascript to execute some safe methods in adobe reader. The functionality (i.e. external javascript interface-JSObject) is already available for VB programmers to develop IAC. Further, the Acrobat SDK example called "AcroPDFinHML" shows how one can embed a pdf-reader in a html page and execute some safe methods (like gotonextpage(), zooming etc.) in IE as ActiveX plugin. I have checked it myself for adobe reader 9, and it works perfectly, so there is no security issue as such to implement the same for another browser (like in my case, the htmlloader control in flex/air app).
    I intend to create a note taking application in air, where it is very much required that I should be able to copy selected text from various pdf documents, that are open in my app, and subsequently paste/collect/save the collected notes and process them afterwords (offcourse, from the pdfs that allow me copying text). However, it is not happening for me here. As the pdfs are opened through adobe reader plugin, it does not register the copy command executed by my air app. It registers the system level copy command (by keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C), but my air app has no way to execute the system level copy command programmatically. So I am kind of stuck here...
    Thanks again for your reply. Having known what am I intend to accomplish, any other (may be alternative) solutions will be appreciated nonetheless...
