Print to File Acrobat Pro X for OS/Mac

Opened a file and edited within Acrobat Pro X for OS/Mac.
I added stamps and text boxes.
Within Windows computer I would go to print, Adobe File.
When I do the same with in Mac, it read "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
When I follow this procedure, the text boxes and stamps are editable.
I want to save / print the file, so file is "locked" meaning text boxes and stamps are not editable.
How is this done???
See video http://screencast.com/t/y6vXU2xQ1

A better approach is to flatten the flatten the pages, which converts the comment annotation appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with the following JavaScript statement executed in the interactive JavaScript console (command+J):
// Flatten all pages
flattenPages()
Even better is the following JavaScript-based utility: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

I am using acrobat Pro 9 for the Mac OS. I recently created a form and sent it to several individual. They filled the form out with acrobat reader and said that they were unable to save the information, therefor unable to send it back to me. What can I do to address this problem?

You didn't forget to Advanced menu and set Reader Rights.Once you do that then, they can save and send back to you.

How to do selection of the Matt Black/ Photo Black in the print setup of Acrobat Pro (for an Epson 7890).

How to do selection of the Matt Black/ Photo Black in the print setup of Acrobat Pro (for an Epson 7890) ? Selection of the media ?

Acrobat's print dialog doesn't deal with hardware-specific features, for that you have to click on the "Properties" button next to the dropdown printer selection field.

HUGE BUG printing Booklet from Acrobat Pro 11.0.10

I spent an hour chatting with Adobe support in India. They could not solve this issue.
I submitted a BUG REPORT at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
Here is the BUG Report:
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Export individual pages from InDesign as pdf (16-page booklet, each individual page is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2")
2. Open pdf in Acrobat Pro 11.0.10
3. Choose actual size, then choose booklet, and print. (printer contains letter-size paper, and page set-up is set to 100% scale.)
Results: The printed booklet is the WRONG SIZE! The pagination is correct as usual, but each individual page is being REDUCED, and now each page image is too small, and there is now a GAP between pages, and the entire booklet is useless. If you can, please see case number: 0186447426: support chat: it covers everything we have tried so far ... (We tried everything they could think of, but all attempts failed.) This bug was introduced somewhere along the line with Yosemite.
Expected results: As usual, when printing booklets from Acrobat Pro, we expect the print to be the right size, the same size as the InDesign doc, and as it has been printed previously by Acrobat Pro prior to Yosemite. Thanks for fixing this disaster of a bug. Please contact me if you need further info, copies of the individual page pdf, etc.
I am literally stuck. I can go through the laborious process of using InDesign to "print booklet" to a postscript file and use Distiller to make the booklet pdf, but under Yosemite, I am prevented from installing print drivers unless that printer is locally available on my network. Unfortunately, the printer is located at my client's place of business.
I realize there is typically a leap-frog effect between operating system updates, hardware, and application updates, but combined with other Yosemite issues, this Acrobat Pro bug is killing my business.

DrStrik9 (sounds a bit poisonous to me!),
The issue, regrettably, is that Acrobat is performing as designed. And it has nothing to do with either MacOS 10.10 or anything new or different with Acrobat 11.0.10 (versus earlier versions going all the way back to the initial implementation of the booklet printing feature). And this isn't directly a printer driver issue, either! The same behaviour occurs both on MacOS and Windows.
The problem, simply stated, is that the Booklet print option in Acrobat (and Reader) is attempting to avoid loss of content due to the paper's non-printable margins. The scaling factors in the Size print option are not utilized at all in the Booklet print option. The Booklet print option attempts to fit two logical pages of your PDF file into the printable area of each physical sheet of paper. Assuming that your printer's Letter page is defined as having a printable area of 8"x10.5" due to a 0.25" non-printable area surrounding the page, then the Booklet print option will force each of the 5.5"x8.5" pages of your PDF file into a 5.17'x8" area centered on each half of the 8.5"x11" printed sheet.
There are three workarounds that I know of:
(1)    Many high end printers have booklet printing capabilities in the printer or printer driver itself. Check the detailed driver options to see whether in fact your printer / printer driver does support a booklet printing option. If so, try that first. That would likely solve your problem.
(2)    Assuming that this is a PostScript printer, edit the .PPD file for the printer you are using to to modify the specification of the Letter printable area. In the PPD file, you will see an entry similar to this:
    *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "18 18 594 774"
or
    *ImageableArea Letter/US Letter: "18 18 594 774"
Edit the entry to change only the four numbers as follows:
    *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "0 0 612 792"
That indicates to the PostScript driver that there is no unprintable border on your pages. Then save the .PPD file. I would then suggest rebooting and then trying to print. Note that the side effect of this is that Fit and Shrink oversized pages options will not take into account the non-printable area of your printer.
Note that a similar hack can be done with Ledger (i.e. 11"x17") page descriptions in the PPD to fix a similar issue affecting printing 8.5"x11" pages to 11"x17" sheets as booklets.
(3)    There are some very reliable third party plugins for Acrobat that provide full advanced document imposition capabilities, creating what are known as printer flats as a new PDF file from your logical pages. There are n-up, booklet, step-and-repeat, etc. options galore in such packages. Examples include Quite Imposing and PDF Snake. I have personally used Quite Imposing for nearly 15 years for this purpose and can vouch that it works beautifully. I don't have personal experience with PDF Snake, although it is less expensive.
Good luck and let us know if any of this helps you at all!

When I print a pdf, Acrobat Pro XI freezes. I can't even close it with the task manager. Any suggestions?

The document will print, but then Acrobat Pro is frozen and I can't do anything. What should I try?

Hi,
Thanks for reporting the issue.
Is it happening with all Pdf files or any specific category of Pdf files or only with a specific Pdf file ?
For investigation, please attach sample PDF file, or you may share your email id for communication.
please specify the OS platform details and Acrobat version !!
Which printer you are using, and also please check the behavior While using AdobePDF or other printers (if available) to give a Print ?
Thanks,
Anil

Acrobat Pro 9 for mac won't launch, reloaded from disk when hard drive needed to be replace. It's in applications folder but there is an X on the Acrobat Reinstall icon. What should I do.

Hi Janice,
What version of Mac OS are you using?
Adobe does not recommend migrating the software from one disk to the other.
Please run the setup file for Acrobat and reinstall the software. You might want to delete the existing version of Acrobat installed before reinstalling it.

Acrobat Pro XI for Mac crashed and now says trial is over

Earlier today I downloaded and installed Acrobat Pro XI for Mac on my MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch early 2013 running OS X 10.9.4. I compared two documents. While skimming the comparison document, Acrobat seemed unstable, e.g. when I tried to select text to copy Acrobat would freeze and show the spinning pinwheel for a minute or two. When I finished skimming the comparison, I closed the file, and clicked "don't save," it crashed. When I restarted Acrobat, it told me the evaluation period was over.

Hi rlauriston,
It is unlikely for an application crash to eliminate the trial days usage.
Did you check with a different Admin user account?

Import and Save Quark Express Files - Acrobat Pro XI

A friend of mine has some newsletters that she produced in Quark Express in the late 1990's and wishes to share them with me. She no longer has Quark Express and neither do I. I'm wondering if it is still possible to import these files into Acrobat Pro XI on a Mac and then save them off as PDF files? Or, do I need to save them as .ps files in Acrobat Pro XI, then run them through Acrobat Distiller? I have looked in the Adobe forums but cannot find anything applicable to Acrobat Pro XI. If someone can let me know what is the best way to go, then that would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks for any assistance.

Acrobat Pro cannot open QuarkXpress files so you are SOL.
If these are really older QXP files like version 3 or 4, you can try to open them in InDesign.
But InDesign will not open any Quark files newer than version 4, also not sure if InDesign CC will do this at all.
There is a Markzware plugin called Q2ID which may work for you.
If neither of you have QuarkXpress, these are your only options.

Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for my iMac (Mavericks 10.9.4), downloaded it and have attempted to install it 10 or more times. I have done all the usual maintenance steps (repair permissions, repair disk, etc) and it still won't install. All goes well until the installer gets to "Running Package Scripts" then it stalls or hangs up and does not finish the installation. It runs and runs and runs. It never finishes. I wind up having to force quit the installer. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi jtento ,
Kindly enable the Root Account for the MAC and then try the installation there (in the root account). Please find below the URL to enable the root account.
OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user
