Print PDF from web with adobe acrobat 8

I have adobe acrobat standard version 8.
The program works fine, except I can not print a web page to a PDF.
Under the print option, there is no longer a tab/printer option that says print to adobe PDF?
How do I get that back?

No. It is not there for some reason, and I can't see how to install it?

Printing PDF from IE with Adobe Reader - extra white space at top of page

I searched the forums far and wide but did not find this question or information to answer it. If it's out there, I'd be much obliged if you'd point me in the right direction.
A user of the web app for which I do tech support just called to say that starting today, whenever he opened a PDF from our app (in IE), the PDF looks fine on screen but when he prints the PDF, every page has extra blank/white space inserted at the top, which cuts off the bottom inch or two of each page.
No other users have called with this complaint, and if changes to our app or an automatic background Adobe Reader or IE update caused this problem, I would have heard from many users. I have a sneaking suspicion I have heard about this from other users, but since troubleshooting their IE or Adobe isn't exactly my job, I don't know if I did any more than advise them to talk to their tech support people.
I can't recreate his problem (read: it works fine for me), but I'd like to help him. Can anyone think of a reason why this might be happening?
Thanks in advance.

What I know: He's using Adobe Reader X. I do not know if it's the most recent version. The problem only exists with PDFs from our web app; he's not having trouble with other sites or with other PDFs.
I do not have a copy of the PDF; I can't give you the copy I downloaded when I logged into his account because there is proprietary confidential information on it, but everything worked fine for me and he's the only user with this complaint, so I believe it's related to his PC or printer, not to our app or to Adobe per se.
I sent him email asking for more information, but I do not know what printer he's using. I don't even know what version of Windows he's running.
Based on some info from Adobe, I suggested he make sure he's using the most recent version (10.1.2), try 'print as image" to see if that's any more successful, and make sure his printer drivers are up to date.
Given the nature of tech support, if he solves the problem or finds a workaround he's happy with, I may never hear from him again to know. I just wanted to know if this was a known issue and what recommended resolutions for it might be. Having not found anything on the web at large, I figured the Adobe forums would be a good place to ask.
Thanks for the time you took to answer.

How to Hide Acrobat Reader When Printing PDFs From Web App

We have a web application that prints pdfs. Here's the line of code that prints the pdfs:
win32api.ShellExecute(0, "print", filename, None, ".", 0)
When the pdf prints from our web application, Adobe Acrobat opens and we don't need it to open. Is there a way to get the pdf to print without Acrobat interupting the user?

Use standard VB/Windows features to minimize the app.

Cannot open pdf files from websites with Adobe Acrobat X

Since purchasing and having my IT technician install Adobe Acrobat X, I can no longer open pdf documents that are hosted on websites. We have many pdf documents on our business network and MS SharePoint sites. Since the upgrade these will not open directly when selected in the MS Browser. I can download the files to my computer and then open them. I see the same issue with pdf documents hosted on "outside" websites. I have set associations to pdf files to Adobe Acrobat 10 rather than the reader that is also installed on this machine but still have this same issue.
The error message window that opens in the browser says, "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1:1)
I have tried with the Adobe application running and with it not running and there is no difference.
Is there something I can check or have my IT technician check to try and get this issue resolved?
I am runing Windows XP Professional with the latest service packs.
I am using Internet Explorer 8
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your mail.
Here's the link to the KB article that gives the details of how to configure the SharePoint server for Acrobat X. These changes enable PDF files opened directly from the SharePoint browser to be recognized as SharePoint files by Acrobat and this can be verified by going to the File menu in Acrobat. The File menu will have a menu item SharePoint Server.

Create PDF from Web page using Acrobat X - Page Order

I have a structured web site that is in fact Program Help The web pages are structured as follows:
index.html - Main Topic Index page with links to all topic subject index pages
topic/index.html - Topic Subject Index Page with links to all subject pages
topic/subject.html - Subject page
.....etc
Using Acrobat 5 "Create PDF from Web Page" created a perfect logical PDF page structure in the page order of of the web site. In Acrobat 5 page 1 was the Main Topic Index Page, page 2 was the 1st Topic Subject Index Page, page 3 was the 1st Subject Page, then the 2nd subject of the 1st Topic, etc. until the Topic Subjects were exhausted after which the 2nd Topic Subject Index Page and so it went on. As a result the bookmark structure was sensible. The page order was as follows:
Main Topic Contents
Topic 1 Contents
Subject 1 of Topic 1
Subject 2 of Topic 1
Topic N Contents
Subject 1 of Topic N
Subject 2 of Topic N
Acrobat X (just purchased) produces a differently structured PDF from the same HTML pages. The order is:
Main Topic Contents
Topic 1 Contents
Topic 2 Contents
Topic N Contents
Main Topic Contents (a second time)
Subject 1 of Topic 1
Subject 2 of Topic 1
Subject N of Topic 1
Subject 1 of Topic 2
Subject 2 of Topic 2
Subject N of Topic N
Question: Is there any way I can get back with Acrobat X the same page order I got with Acrobat 5?
Any help appreciated. The website is www.caliach.com/caliach/vision/help/index.html

Acrobat is using the underlying mark up of the rendered HTML page.
This may or may not provide an adequate input to Acrobat when it is noodling out how and what to tag.
I suspect you may find that, to obtain an adequately tagged PDF, you may have to capture the web page content with the create bookmarks and create tags options off.
Once you have the PDF make working copies.
Try letting Acrobat tag this already created PDF to see what happens.
You may have to manually tag the PDF.
n.b., The default read order for western language can be altered by user selections in the accesibility setup or by selection in the PDF page(s) Page Properties.

Print PDF from web without opening A.R.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to print PDF documents (generated in Crystal Reports 11 on a IIS web server in PDF / ASP.NET Framework 2.0) on client's machines and printers (without opening an Acrobat Reader, but with print options dialog).
Is it possible to make this issue using Adobe Acrobat SDK?

For security reasons (eg. so that malicious web servers can't just start your printer a printing...), it is IMPOSSIBLE for the document to NOT show...
Any document that is on the web can be saved on the client's machine - that's the beauty (or not?) of the web and the protocols involved. If you wish to prevent misuse - be sure to use DRM.

How to export or print PDF from Illustrator with crop and reg marks?

Hi all,
I realise this is probably a very obvious question, but I've just upgraded from CS3 to CS5.5, and I'm tearing my hair out with the loss of Adobe PDF printer driver. I've looked on forums and can't find this question - prob. so obvious that no one else has asked it.
Can't seem to export as PDF from Illustrator ,only 'save as'. This doesn't give me my crop marks. I've tried putting in crop marks - Effects/Crop Marks - but this places the marks outside my trim, at the edges of my background image, which comes out 2mm all round for bleed purposes.
How can I set crop marks to denote the dimensions of the page size, regardless of how much crap I've got spilling out over the edges for bleed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
PS: Bring back the PDF Printer Driver pleeeease!

You can turn on crop & trim marsk when doing a save as to PDF. But turn on some bleed values greater than 0 (not as in my screenshot) or you will not get any bleed of your artwork, just the marks then.

Hp convert to pdf license interferes with adobe acrobat x pro

Windows 7, Office 2010 with the HP Convert to PDF plugin. Installed Adobe CS5.5 Jan 7, 2012, on this computer. Everything worked fine. Sometime later (last summer?) my CS5.5 Acrobat X Pro failed, symptom is that it hangs in a loop asking me to accept terms and conditions. In Word, if click on addins, I find HP convert to PDF and also that its license has expired. I think this is the reason that my CS5.5 Acrobat X Pro no longer works. Can you pls tell me if you agree and how the heck I get my Adobe license back?

I renamed my PDF Complete folder so Word couldn't find it and now I can make pdfs in Word. But I still have the endless demand to accept terms and conditions if I try to open Acrobat X Pro to make a pdf. Bizarre.

Printing/PDF from Web Analyzer and WAD

Hi,
In BI7, when we run the query via Web Analyzer / WAD, is there an option for us to do Printing? Or can we convert the result output to PDF in Web Analyzer / WAD?
Have you done this before?
Please advise, thanks.

Hi,
you can Insert Button-Group-Item with command "Export".
So you can decide which format you want (PDF, Excel...)
Good luck

Reducing Pdf on server with Adobe Acrobat 11

I want to automatically reduce the size of pdf in my server. My company is planning for Adobe Acrobat 11 with SDk for this soultion. Can anyone help with the batch script or javascript or IAC. Alternatively is Acrobat 11 the best solution?

This is not a viable solution. Acrobat is not technically suitable for use on a server, and even more important, the EULA forbids this use.

Create PDF from Web page using Acrobat 9 Pro

I am trying to create a PDF file from a web page. The alt tags for images is not being recognized, and the reading order bounces all over the page (not the order of the web page). For example, the 1st text item on the page is #7 in the reading order, and the #1 item is an image half way down the page. All the documentation I can find says Acrobat will read top to bottom, left to right, but it's not. Any idea how to fix it?

Acrobat is using the underlying mark up of the rendered HTML page.
This may or may not provide an adequate input to Acrobat when it is noodling out how and what to tag.

Poor Image Quality when Printing PDF from Office 07 using Acrobat 9 Pro Ext

Hi there,
Hoping to figure out why my images (jpegs, gifs, pngs, etc) seem to print in very poor quality when printing from Powerpoint and Word 2007?
When I actually print out the pdf onto paper, the images seem fine. The image quality is also good in Word and Excel
I did not have this problem using Office 2003 products.
Is this a common problem? I realize that the problem maybe Office related but any help or information appreciated.
Thanks

If the images' file format is PNG or TIFF you could play with the compression settings available in Acrobat's Preferences.
Edit > Preferences > select the Category "Convert to PDF".
In the"Converting To PDF" pane, select PNG or TIFF.
Then, click on the Edit Settings" button.
For either image format you could try one of the Lossless compression routines.
Be well...
