PDF Printer is not working. Is there an update?

I have a large document that I'm trying to save individual pages into separate files. I usually do this by using the pdf printer and selecting the pages I want to save as individual files.  I recently moved to a new computer and can no longer use the pdf printer.  Is there an update I'm missing? 

Acrobat 7 is not compatible with anything beyond Windows XP. Beginning with Windows Vista and forward, there were changes in the way drivers work such that the Adobe PDF PostScript print driver instance needed to be modified. The first version of Acrobat that was fully compatible with Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.x is Acrobat 8.1. If a user installed Acrobat 8 on such a system and then applied the 8.1 update, the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance appears and works.
Alas, Acrobat 8 is no longer licensed by Adobe. Your upgrade path now is to Acrobat DC Pro.

  • Printer is not working properly after I updated OS

    My printer is not working after I updated my OS software. It will only print out pages as a mirror image. All the programs are not printing properly. Could really use some help fixing this issue.

    What software did you update?
    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions. 
    Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.  Have you contacted the printer manufacturer tech support?  Read the printer's user manual?  Your printer drivers updated to match your updated software? 

  • Acrobat 8.1.2 - PDF Printer still not working & Distiller crashes on startup!!!

    Hello,
    when 8.1.2 update was released my hopes where great but now I'm realy disappointed!!!
    After 3 times reinstalling CS3 Suite (incl. clean cs) and updateing for hours NOTHING seems to be fixed! Oh, well, the bouncing icon seems to be but maybe just because I'm not using Acrobat any more...
    Here's a summary of my specs and the problems I have:
    OSX 10.5.2 on a Intel 8-core MAC Pro w. 4 GB Ram
    Suitcase Fusion (also for System Fonts)
    CS3 Premium w. latest Update(s)
    Xpress 7 + Love Bundle
    Country settings: Lang. German, country Austria
    Installed Hardware:
    Superdrive
    ATI Radeon graphic card
    Mighty Mouse wireless + New wireless Apple keyboard
    24" DELL TFT monitor
    2 x 500 Gb HDD's
    The main problem is that I HAVE TO create print PDFs from Xpress doc's wich is impossible without Distiller!
    The 8.1.2 update seems to fix the "pausing PDF printer Problem", now the PDF printer sends the PS file to Distiller wich just crashes!
    Here's the Distiller crash log (looong):

    I posted this elsewhere, but I thought it couldn't hurt to repost here:
    I had a similar problem and finally figured out why (and now to fix it).
    Permissions were messed-up on ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat
    I did not have read-write permissions in it and Distiller was failing to create the ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/Distiller 8/FontCache subdirectory.
    I simply changed the owner and permission on ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat and the problem went away.

  • Pdf printer is not get installed while installing adobe acrobat pro 11 in win 7 32 bit

    pdf printer is not get installed while installing adobe acrobat  pro 11 in win 7 32 bit

    BlackCat,
    Two things:
    1) Acrobat 8 Pro is not Win 7 compatible, no less Win 7 64-bit copmpatible
    2) Reader X and Acrobat 8 are not a supported combination. Reader X and Acrobat X is the first Windows combination that is supported by Adobe. Reader X and Acrobat 8 will cause problems.
    You are using a brand new 64-bit OS, you need to use an application that is designed to work with it. Acrobat X is the way to go, HOWEVER, there are still growing pains with Acrobat X, Win 7 64-bit, and the latest version of Office.

  • Printer will not work after update to Mavericks

    I have a macbook pro and an HP7280 printer connected wirelessly.  After upgrading to Mavericks the printer will not work.  The first time I used it the system upgraded automatically (I forget what it said but it just went ahead and did some upgrading)  When I clicked on something to print it did recognized the printer but just scrolled and scrolled and never printed.  So I deleted the printer and reset the system and then added the printer back on - same thing.   Any ideas??

    It means there is no issue with the driver you are using and with it working correctly on Mavericks. So you have a network issue with the printer queue you are using. Normally a reset of the printing system and re-adding the printer would be enough to get things working again. But since you have done this and your issue is not resolved, there must be some other gremlins in the system.
    With the HP connected to the network, if you know its IP address you can enter this as a URL into a web browser. This should result in you connecting to the internal web page of the HP. Does this work?

  • After upgrading to maverick my epson WF-2540 scanner will not work. There are no upgrades showing so what do I do?

    After I upgraded to Maverick my Epson WF-2504 scanner will not work.  There is no software update showing necessary either. I have gone to the Epson website but it doesn't offer a download.  It tells me to go to "software update" ???  Any suggestions?

    Thanks Arthur,
    I was hoping for a good bubble bursting, but I tried that HP "update" as soon as my printer stopped responding. I really really wanted my bubble popped.
    One needs the Apple supplied driver for this work. It will not work because the driver to basically function on the updated Mavericks is not supplied by Apple Updates, so the HP driver that stops printing an extra page is rendered useless. I spent, wasted two days going back and forth between Support threads, HP chat and on the phone, through all the Mac channels where I was told that the 2011 HP was antique. HP said Apple had the drivers. So, they pointed a finger at one another with this unlucky customer caught in the crossfire. HP said Mac did it and Mac said HP did it. BOOM ! goes the guy in between who spent a good bit of money to have good equipment. What is wrong with expecting a printer to last beyond 3 years, or for a back up drive to last more than 3 years?
    I do appreciate the attempt to help though. It was here in Discussions where I was guided to the gimp driver, drivers which in the past always worked when needed but in this case something wicked about Mavericks prevents it from working. No matter how many times HP says it works on their site all you have to do is try and then speak with customer service to find out that in a parellel universe this may logically hold. It does not hold here.  If it were the case that by working in Lion it would work in Mavericks then there must be something wrong with me. But why, APPLE, is it that one day it works, do the update and then it does not when Lion was the previous OS? I did Everything, every single thing recommended by people who had good ideas and wanted to help but all too often the facts tell us nothing of the world. Facts are tools used to decieve, the world is where it works or does not work and in this case Mavericks has cost me close to $300. Probably not a big deal in some cases, but money is money. When it is gone it is gone.
    I followed the complete uninstall, going into library and removing all HP, then restarting and lo and behold HP driver for 4500 not only was not present but along the way my 500gig back up drive died, as in dead, nothing.
    Of course I will not buy another HP product. If you go to the list of drivers Mac says it carries the HP Officejet 4500 wireless may be present but is not carried by Apple. I have tried Apple update over and over. What I have done is wasted my time and money. In one fell update I lost a printer and a back up drive. No storms, no loss of electricity, no boogie men lurking, no malware, no gremlins, nothing but an innocent customer updating when Apple said "update". Sure it is serendipity that both my printer and back up drive died on the same day at the same time following the Mavericks update. Who am I but a loyal customer? I must be stupid because my equipment stopped responding after the update. It is not new that there are bugs and glitches following updates. I was a beta tester for OS X, it wiped my computer clean, but I understood, it was beta.
    A friend told me the same about planned obsolescence in that since printers are cheap and ink is expensive they don't really care about customer satisfaction. Three years old is antique, out of date. We should and must all be angered by this hatred for the customer shown by manufacturers across the board. Blaming the customer is ridiculous and absurd but not unheard of, in fact it has become the rule of thumb from the other side. The customer is innocent. All we want is to buy premium equipment and to have it behave in a manner befitting the cost. I am an Apple user since 1994. I designed a restaurant on a 333 mhz black and white Mac. You know, the big floppy disc one. I am not new to Apple. Fiercely loyal for 20 years. This is the most angered I have been by the flippant attitude shown to us all.
    Thank you for giving the links and hopeful advice. I tried them all when I first had the troubles. The good people in discussions, not the Apple plants, but the users, tried their best. I thought that by coming back later there would be updates and new links that would help. But no. Maybe one day. HP lost a customer, it means nothing to any of the manufacturers when a customer is ridiculed by their cynical attitude towards the customer. Maybe there will be someone else to come along here that has had similar experiences and found a way to fix. Used to be a gimp driver could do the trick. Used to be a way. I fear we lose control of our equipment more and more every day. This is not a rant. It is a somewhat sad expression of having been ripped off. Discussions here have helped in the past but the more things advance the less we matter. And as in the past when I was mad about an Apple failure a member sent a fix and I printed the fix for others to use in return. We help one another in the best of ways. Please spread the word, maybe there will be a fix to show up here sometime. I kissed my iOmega back up drive and the 500 gigs of writings, photos, backups and music goodbye, gone forever, poof! But the HP printer is still here on my desk. I don't want to give up hope.

  • HP-2840 needs new drum (Q3964A) and I am told my printer will not work when I install a new drum

    My HP2840 laser jet All-InOne has been telling me for 6 months that I need a new drum. I was waiting until I saw an issue with my print quality (which I never had a problem) and now my printer will not work unless I replace the drum.
    A friend told me that even after installing a new OEM drum, that my printer will still not work unless I call HP and pay for them to tell me how to make it work.
    Is that true?
    I need help fast cause now my wife is really angry that I "broke" the printer!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Acrobat 7.0 Pro pdf printer does not populate? Error says printer port.

    I got a new computer and was installing Creative Suite & Acrobat pro and the Adobe PDF printer does not show up in the Printers. I downloaded the upgrade and Windows says it cannot install.
    I am running Windows 7 Pro

    Two parts of AA 7 will not install on Win 7 (32 or 64-bit): the Adobe PDF printer and AcroTray.exe. You can install a separate color PS printer (either one from Adobe or possibly one for an HP color PS printer), change the name to Adobe PDF and change the port to FILE. That should do the job, but you will ALWAYS have an extra step in the creation of a PDF. You will have to print to the printer and a PS file will be created (probably with a PRN extension). You then have to open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. From my brief testing, this process will work and the rest of Acrobat and Distiller seem to work (though I did not test extensively). If this is unacceptable to you, then purchase AA XI (upgrade not available from AA 7).

  • Flex Print Job not working with custom component

    Hi All,
    I have to print pages with header, body and footer. So the thought process was to create a custom component fro header, footer and body. Header component is based on Box, Body is a renderer (which will have fix value of items - and will decide the number of possible pages) and footer is again based on Box.
    But when i created a simple Custom component like this for header
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
      <mx:VBox  xmlns:fx=http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009
      xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
      xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
    <fx:Declarations>
    <!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->
    </fx:Declarations>
    <mx:HBox>      <mx:Label id="testLabel" text="Test Container"/>
    </mx:HBox> 
    </mx:VBox>
    Then when i try to add this to FlexPrintJob, and save it as 'xps' to see the print output, i get error message that this file is in use or damaged.
        var myPrintJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
      if(!myPrintJob.start()){
          return;
    var header:Header = new Header();
    header.width = myPrintJob.pageWidth;
    header.visible = false;
    FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.addChild(panierPrintHeader);
    myPrintJob.addObject(header);
    myPrintJob.send();
    FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.removeChild(panierPrintHeader);
     But this does not work and i get the above mentioned exception. Now when i not use the custom component and just have a label or HBox or anything on stage before the print functionality is invoked, it works fine. And this too haapens only if you have a mxml component, i tried by creating a new Label component using actionscript and then provide the same to the printJob, which did not work either. I need help on this, else i will have to take print functionality to server side(Java) which has some business implications, the reason why i am spending time on flex for printing. 
    Thanks and Regards,
    Jigar
    Looks like custom component print is not working fine with flex or i am doing something terribly wrong.
    Looking forward for help.

    Is there nobody in flex community who can help on this....
    Looks like a toothless class that adobe actionscript team has provided, which is not liked across much

  • In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

    In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

    If it is Win 7 or later, the Adobe PDF printer for AA 7 will not install and AcroTray will not function. You will have to install a PS driver from Adobe or maybe an HP color PS printer driver. Then edit the driver properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to FILE. You will always have to do an extra step in creating PDFs by opening the file that is created in Distiller to get the PDF.
    If you are talking about Win 8, you may not be successful at all. If you got Acrobat and Distiller to install, then there is a chance.

  • Redirected Printer is not working

    Hello all,
    We have a Windows Server 2012 R2 terminal server. We have set up two Lenovo thin clients to remote access this terminal server. The problem is that the redirected printer is not working on one of the thin client but works on the other one. I have made the
    same settings on both of the thin clients.
    The difference between these two thin clients is like following.
    1. Printer: The one that is working is Canon printer and the one that is not working is HP printer.
    2. They use different ISPs.
    All other settings are the same. I did not find any error code from the event viewer too. The only thing that I have is this error message when I tried to print a test page. "Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter
    for assistance?" And when I click "Yes", it said I did not have the related service installed and I could not find the error code for this issue.
    Does anyone have any ideas on this issue? Please share this.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Based on your description it seems that there is issue with incompatible print driver. As you commented you can access for canon but not for HP. Please see that you have update version of HP driver is installed. If possible try to use RDS universal printer
    driver and verify.
    How to configure Microsoft RDS Universal Printing
    Does this happen for any specific user or for all users? If this happen for any particular user then there might be issue with user profile got corrupt so need to clear user profile cache or delete it and re-login to check the result.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

    I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

    Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
    Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
    Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
    If you have a TimeMachine drive, update it and disconnect for the duration of this restore time. It will be your second backup system and will have to be wiped and setup again after successfully going back to Snow Leopard if it was connected to the OS X 10.7 boot drive. If it wasn't, then leave it disconnected without updating to Lion.
    Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered)
    Here we go!
    Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP.
    Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
    On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same name as before, and click Erase...
    This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
    When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
    When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
    Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    (Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
    Final step optional but highly receommended.
    A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a HFS+Journaled external drive as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version..  (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
    It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails.
