PDF printer missing from IE8 and Firefox 4

I am using Acrobat Std V 9.4.5 and yesterday Acrobat notified me of an update.  I updated, and now I have no PDF printer in either of my browsers.  Should I reinstall Acrobat?

Are you sure Adobe sent you something? The most current version of AA9 is 9.4.5 that you indicate you already have. If you did something else, you might have gotten hit by a virus. Anyway, at this point you should probably go to the Add/Remove programs in the control panel (changed names with VISTA & Win 7 -- Programs and features), go down to Acrobat and do a repair.

  • PDF Printer error from IE8

    I can use the PDF Printer with no problems in any situation except when trying to print to PDF in Windows 7 which uses IE8. I can't create a PDF from any web page at all. The document never gets created and the print queue reports that there was an error but it doesn't identify the error.
    I tried disabling my antivirus program and I tried disabling the Windows 7 firewall but neither resolved the issue. I also disabled accelerators in IE8 but that didn't work either.

    I have the same problem and running v9.2
    Still no answer I can find. I refuse to turn off protected mode so end up printing to a MS Document writer/office image printer. If I need a pdf I convert that.
    It about time Adobe fixed it

  • Firefox v33 knocked out my Adobe 7 pro PDF printer plugin. PDFs print OK from other applications.

    Firefox v33 knocked out my Adobe 7 pro PDF printer plugin. PDFs print OK from other applications. It happened a few times randomly, and it seemed to resolve spontaneously, but now it is persistent.
    I've done scans for malware, which I suspected, but nothing showed up, nor corrected it with cleaning.
    I had this problem before, and I found directions on how to rest the printer within Firefox, but I've forgotten how or where I got it.
    I did try to re-install in control panel, but this appears to be a firefox issue. How do i rest the plugin or Firefox to once again print PDFs from browser pages. I need to use this feature printing receipts etc.

    Are you using a toolbar button (Create PDF extension) or a printer driver (selecting Adobe PDF or Distiller in the Print dialog) to generate the PDF? Older versions of Create PDF have been reported not to work any more (by older I mean from Acrobat X or earlier), but the printing method should still work.

  • How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

    I have windows vista. How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

    Do you own Acrobat? If so what version? If not what version of Word and PP do you have? Newer versions contain non-Adobe software for creating pdfs. If you do not own Acrobat that it would be best to check in a Microsoft forum on how to use Word to create pdfs.

    Attempted workaround

    Solution 1 repair --did not work
    Solution 2 --Uninstall and reinstall: I installed as part of CS5.5...do I have to unistall entire or just Acrobat?
    Solution 3:  I am copying below with notes as to what didn't show up
    Manually install the PDF Printer
    Click Start >  Control Panel > Devices and Printers
    Select Add a printer
    Select Add a local printer
    Check Use an existing port and select Documents\*.pdf (Adobe PDF) from the drop down.  Click Next
    [No such file on 'existing port.' attempted using NITRO pdf which came with this new lenovo machine [but never availbale and not installed --jst recommended, although this file exists  < NitroPDF Port: (local port) > which I attempt]
    Click the Have Disk… button
    Click the Browse… button
    Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF
    Select AdobePDF.inf from the list if using Acrobat Pro, or AdobePDFstd.inf if using Acrobat Std, then click the OK button
    [this files exists]
    You will see many Adobe PDF Converters in the list, however count six down from the top and click Next (you may need to try this numerous times to find the correct Converter from the list that works with your version of Windows)
    [Attempted six down--no dice].
    Name your printer, e.g. Adobe PDF
    Follow the rest of the prompts and your PDF printer should now be installed correctly
    If you are later prompted for the ADPDF9.PPD file, it can be found in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\<OS version> folders.
    [Once I hit 'test' print it states  < Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrotray.exe'.
    BUT i'm not using Acrobat 11.0!
    Any ideas, o wise ones?
    best,
    skylar1

    Hello All,
    I just figured this out--
    I installed updates in the Help tab, and the files required, including pdf printer were installed.
    Works!
    I realize that this is a gen behind in software but I am running legacy large format printers and the newest is not the best in this application.
    Hope this helps....

  • PDF printing Missing installed prnters

    We're starting to see an issue where a machine will have several printers installed people can print to any of then from word, excel, Chrome etc but for PDF's only one or sometime none show up in the drop down for the list of printers. We're using adobe
    reader but I've installed Foxit on one I'm testing and it doesn't show any printers installed either. Its not all users. I can;t find a reason PDF docs by whatever viewer wouldn't see the installed Printers

    I have windows XP media center. I uninstalled Acrobat 8 to download Acr 9 pro extended. No adobe printer was installed .
    Tried the steps given here by Steve Lionel. I was able to add the "Adobe PDF Converter" as printer. Although after the 7th step in Steve's fix, the wizard asked me to search for some files (from XP CDrom) which I was able to locate in the Windows folder-drivers folder and the system32-spool folder.
    I went to acrobat,opened a pdf file and tried to print with this printer and saved it on the desktop. A file appears, but adobe cannot open it however it activates adobe illustrator and opens in that program.
    Lots of time has gone. No solution yet.
    Appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks
    Update!!!
    I tried printing on this printer from a webpage and it converted the webpage like charm.
    I am more than happy even if I get to use this printer to convert webpages to pdf as now I don't have to install those shady pdf converters and printer drivers.
    This is good as the fix given here works even for XP.
    Thanks for this wonderful solution.

  • Commandmenu items highlight is not working in IE8 and firefox

    HI All
    i developed a menu for my project .
    in that menu i have some menuitems
    when i mouseover on commandmenuitem the item is highlighted .
    but this is not working in IE8 and firefox ..
    it is sometimes working in iE7 and some times it is not working.
    Can any one help me

    PDF documents are hosted in an ActiveX or netscape plugin control which have their own printing functions.
    Start>Adobe Reader>Edit>Preferences - to adjust what functionality the PDF document viewer addon displays (menus etc).
    Tools>Manage Addons>Show all addons
    make sure you have both the x86 and x64 versions of your PDF reader Active X control installed and enabled. I would recommend also that you update to the latest version of the vendors' (Adobe?) plugin.
    Possibly you have disabled scripting of ActiveX controls in the IE security zone that your parent page maps to. Also there is an IE security zone feature that prevents navigation to a domain in a zone of lower integrity.
    Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default".
    when asking developer related questions it is helpful if you can include a link to your website.

  • PDF printing incorrectly (unintentional cropping and scaling)

    An 11x17 PDF prints correctly from 3 different computers in our office. It prints incorrectly from MY computer, as well as our client's computer in a different office. Although the PDF looks perfectly fine on the screen in Adobe Reader, the print scales itself to be larger (or smaller) than its supposed to be, causing unnecessary cropping (or extra white space) in the printed image.
    The computers that are able to print it correctly sent the PDF to the same printer that my computer did. Also, at least 1 of these computers has the same version of Adobe Reader as mine (7.0), and was using the SAME EXACT print settings when sending it to the printer:
    Choose paper source by PDF size was checked.
    Page Scaling was set to None.
    I do not know the Reader version or settings of my client's computer.
    I do not know if this matters, but the PDF was created through AutoCAD using an Adobe plotter that creates a PDF of the layout/paperspace.
    What can possibly account for the radical differences in prints from the SAME PDF?

    ...saved it as a PDF and when I print it out...
    Are you printing from Illustrator or Acrobat (or Reader)?
    I have checked all settings in the original file, the PDF and in the print properties for my printer and made sure that anything referring to automatic scaling is turned off.
    What about in the print dialog in Reader or Acrobat (if that's what you're printing from)? Have you selected any page scaling options, like Fit to Printable Area or Shrink to Printable Area?

  • PDF PRINTING using Apache FOP and Oracle Containers for J2EE

    Hi,
    I am having major confusion about the pdf printing in Oracle XE and Apex 3.1.2.00.02
    It clearly states that this is an available option on the Oracle website.
    According to Apex there are two options for printing report regions.
    Standard - which is free
    Advanced - which uses BI and requires a licence
    Standard requires me to have Apache FOP (which is provided by Oracle in the Apex release) and Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J)
    Where my understanding of all this falls down is the part where I am downloading the Oracle Containers for J2EE and the license agreement states this cannot be used in a production system (only as a protptype). Can anyone clarify this? This is surely a required componenet and for the standard report printing which is supposed to be free.
    My problem is that I need to have a database system on a laptop that will go off site for a number of weeks. We need report printing options.
    Can anyone help with this. im desperate.
    Kind regards
    colin mclay

    no not yet with Application Server.
    I have tried to compare the settings to another installation with a separeted oc4j as described in the howto. But at the moment i found no mistakes.
    If i call the url adresse like:
    http://localhost:18101/fop/apex_fop.jsp
    i get:
    500 Internal Server Error
    Servlet error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: fop.apex__fop
    I installed it another time with these settings:
    Web Anwendung= .../fop.war (selected war file from apex install directory)
    Anwendungsname= fop
    URL zuordnen= /fop
    I would like to know if its possible to use the fop.war out of apex install directory with the Application server? In the standalone version (as described in howto) it works. But if you install it there you don't need to define an URL.
    Is the URL /fop correct or what do i have to insert there?

  • Cannot uninstall or reinstall Adobe Reader - tried from MS and Firefox

    Regarding error 1606 - have a look at this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886549/.
    If you still cannot uninstall Adobe Reader, use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove it.  (But I recently heard of problems when using the cleanup tool if Office 2007 is installed.)

    Google show that you have to cut what you want to print and then paste it into a new app and print from that app.

  • I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " the picture you are trying to print is in the iphoto library"  what can i do to be able to print a photo from iphoto

    I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " unreadable file: the following file could not be imported.  the file is in the iphoto library folder"  also when i try to print a picture from iphoto i get a message that says "no page was selected"
    not sure what happened but i can pnly print when i drop the photo onto my desktop as an 8.5 x 11 size picture and i am trying to print 4x6's

    Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message.  If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.
