PDF Printer won't install

Hey all,
I have a Windows XP SP3 here with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz and 2 GB of RAM. When I install CS4, I am able to install everything BUT the PDF printer for Adobe PDF.
Is there a way to fix this/install it manually?
I've reformatted twice and reinstalled 7 times and this is never fixed.
Help?

If you upgraded to VISTA X64, you also likely upgraded OFFICE also to OFFICE 2007. Both VISTA and OFFICE 2007 require AA8.1.2 I think (Vista had problems with earlier AA8 versions). Thus, AA7 is an issue that you are lucky if you get it to work in those environments. Actually it would be nice if MS would quit messing up their OS so that other software has to be upgraded. Adobe works at a rather low level of the system and getting all the bugs out when trying to follow MS specifications is apparently a real pain (think MS makes their specs kind of crazy on purpose - and folks often need to complain to MS rather than the software vendors). You might have heard that MS had to add their help system back in after the fact (they had purposely removed it from VISTA) since their own OFFICE products used the help system. Apparently a lot of companies also complained about Netmeeting that originally was dropped from VISTA and a new version was added that is VISTA compatible. Bill

Acrobat 7 pdf printer won't install

Finally managed to get CS2 installed on a new Vista machine after old pc died, and apps appear to work. Acrobat 7 launches with no issues. However if I try to create a PDF from Word, it tells me the pdf printer isn't installed (and its not listed in printers). If I try to open the word file in acrobat, it tells me it can't find the adobe resources.
Any idea what the problem is? CS2 wouldn't install to the /Programs (x86) folder - installed to a new folder called /Programs x86.
Any help would be appreciated.

Installing Acrobat Pro 7 on Windows 7: Adobe PDF Printer won't install

Moving to a new system, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Already installed FrameMaker 8, without installing the Adobe PDF printer. Now trying to install my trusty copy of Acrobat Pro version 7. I get a "Warining 20225" (see attached), and the printer driver does not install.
What do I have to do here? Uninstall FM8, uninstall Acrobat, reinstall Acrobat, reinstall FM8?
--C

What do I have to do here?
Buy and install Adobe Acrobat X.

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.

I cannot get an Adobe pdf printer to correctly install in windows 7 64 bit

I purchased Acrobat Pro XI and installed and it went fine. I then installed my copy of Master Collection 5.5, it didn't install Acrobat X, and the printer disappeared. I have tried to repair my XI installation, but it won't do it, and I have tried to uninstall it to reinstall it, but it won't let me do that either. I cannot find the location for a correct Adobepdf.inf file wherte it is supposed to be. I find two in windows/system32/driverstore, but they do not work correctly.

Hi stampguy,
You might want to refer the thread : Re: Manually installing PDF Printer to add printer manually.
Usually repairing Acrobat brings the pdf printer back.
Please try updating to the latest patch 11.0.7 and check.

PDF-writer won't install.

We have a user that where we install Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 it won't install the pdfwriter.
So you can't make any files to pdf.
We have tested to uninstall and install the program again.
Any tips?

So - no resolution. No way to get technical support without payint (that I know of anyway). Acrobat works fine but there is no Adobe PDF Printer. Can't live without it. Resolution: I installed CutePDF Writer as a printer. It's really a shame that I have purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro Professional and I can't so much as get a PDF Printer - or any help in resloving my problem - so I have to resort to the free (and prefectly adequate) competitor. I can't help thinking: If CutePDF writer works as a printer, what is with Adobe PDF printer that it disappears. Surely it is Adobe's problem.

Epson 635 printer won't install via wireless with Mountain Lion

I am helping a friend with the upgrade to Mountain Lion and She has a giant desktop which I think is a MacPro but I'm not sure. Anyway everything works fine except now her Epson 635 printer won't see the wireless network. To me this seems like a router problem but all other computers see the network via the router. Also, this only happened with this upgrade. We've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer, drivers, etc and still no go. Forgive me if my lingo is off but I am a tad new to Mac. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Here's a "Print 101" guide for Mac computers:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
I believe that you're talking about an Epson WorkForce 635, which I'm quite sure Apple supports because they support the WorkForce 630 [series].
So try removing the printer from the MacBook and re-installing it per the guide.
P.S.: I'm running a WorkForce 645 printer just fine from Mountain Lion.

Printer won't install on my computer

I just purchased a new laptop with Windows 7. Now the Officejet Pro 8500 series printer that I purchased two months ago won't install on the computer. It is telling me that it isn't compatible with my operating system. What can I do?

Just use Google and search the web for your drivers here...

PDF printing--tomcat/cocoon installed, but report server not found------

As I understood, APEX 3.1 requires either BI/FO tools to enable PDF printing.
As I do not have BI license, and as I happened to check a very good link on a blog which had a detailed viewlet on apache-cocoon route for PDF print enabling, I downloaded the tomcat, cocoon source files, built the cocoon .WAR, put it in required place as instructed, started tomcot (ran into pronblems because of port conflits, resolved these by configuring different ports for 8005 and 8080 ports).
Now, when I want to configure the external report server, I am stuck.
I am not able to locate 'Instances' tab, or 'manage environment settings ' tab in 'manage services'
I am able to find only following tabs in 'manage services' under HOME.--> Administration ----> Manage services
1) session state
2) caching
3) workspace preferences
4) applications
5) workspace
6) workspace schema reports
7) Logs
Can anyone help me to find out where to configure the 'report server' now?
Thanks,
suresh.

Sorry, it was a silly problem:) You have to be logged in as admin to 'see' the 'instances' tab. maybe in all the tomcat/cocoon build/config issues, this simply got off my head!
now, the problem of print server config is over, I have configured the same. the 'print' link is available now in report region, when I run the report. but when I click the 'print' link, it is taking ages...or rather it is still processing...!!
Can anyone please point out to me now what is the problem...?
thanks.

PDF printer won't work.

Hi I desparately need help to get past my PDF system to print items that have been sent to me as a PDF item - even papers that aren't PDF originated are being transferred to PDF. Anyone who can help. Cheers = hallsheadWA

Hi Jeff
The system I'm using is Microsoft Explorer with the latest downloaded Adobe provided recently - although this problem has been consistent for the last month. I can print direct from any Word 2010 etc., but NOT when its an attachment to my Hotmail system - the storage system goes straight into a PDF - which disables me from printing anything (VERY frustrating) Hopefully you can help

H-p Printer won't install

I'm trying to install an H-P Officejet 6500 wireless printer on Lion.
Alas, Printer installer tells me the driver is not available from Apple to concact H-P; H-P tells me that Apple provides up-to-date drivers.
Does someone have a clue or do I now own a wireless brick?

Been there. Done that.
The "Annoyance Loop" began after I installed the Apple supplied drivers.
I apologize for neglecting to note it in my original post.

Network printer won't install

I am trying to install a printer on the office network, "No driver found" Operation failed wioth error 0x00000214

I'm guessing your using W7? Did you install the printer drivers? Make sure you also go to the manufacturer to get the latest up to date drivers.
Does it ask you to install from the "drivers disk" or go online to download them?
