Print to PDF 9.0 - Not able in QuarkXpress!

I recently got a new iMac and also purchased the CS4 Design Premium Suite (including Acrobat 9.0) and QuarkXpress 8. I am having trouble "printing to PDF" in QuarkXpress. I tried printing to PDF in other programs, like Word, Excel, etc., and they all work fine. But when I try to create a PDF from Quark, no file appears. I am able to open the print dialog box while it's saving, and it all looks fine... the file pops up in the progress list, opens distiller, and disappears from the progress box. When I view the Completed Jobs, the file even shows up there. But when I go to the destination I chose when saving the PDF, nothing shows up. I tried typing my chosen file name in the search spot of my Finder, and no PDF of that name is located anywhere in my system.
I AM able to File > Export Layout as PDF, and the PDF shows up. But that is an annoying and slower method, and doesn't allow me to save my PDF presets of choice. Plus, it leaves a stupid .log file along with the pdf file that it creates, which clutters up my folders.
I just want to do want I've always done, which is Command+P, and choose "Adobe PDF" as my printer, and get a PDF.
Interestingly, I still have my old laptop, and I installed the new version of QuarkXpress on it, but kept the old CS3 applications (i.e. Acrobat 8.0). And I have no trouble printing to PDF on it. So the only differences are 1) the version of Adobe, and 2) the operating systems.... my new computer has Leopard, and the older laptop has Tiger.
I've tried uninstalling Adobe Acrobat and re-installing it from the disk. But no difference! PLEASE someone help!
Thanks! Carrie

Quark has it's own built in PDF exporter called JAWS. Set it up in preferences and execute it via the file menu item, i.e., export as PDF. It doesn't however make Version 9 PDF's tho or any version that doesn't flatten the PDF.

I can only print the current page of downloaded pdf's. Not able to print "all". I'm using a Macbook air.

it says "the document could not be printed". "There were no ages selected to print".
I selected "all". I always tried selecting pages "1-3".
The only choice that works is current page. Very strange.

Since neither are Apple products, you should post your question on the Adobe forums and/or the Quark forums, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

PDF PROBLEMS! Not able to download PDF files into Safari anymore?!?

I was always able to download PDF files into Adobe Reader from the internet. I can't download them anymore...My MacBook keeps trying to load and reload the page, but never does it. I downloaded the most recent Adobe Reader 9, but this did not fix the problem. I can open PDF files I have saved, but can' t download them in Safari. Any ideas? Thanks-

Hi Jes,
I get an error message saying
"The page cannot be found"
infact when i hover the mouse over the link i am able to see the correct path and the correct correct values as follows
schema.procedure?V=04&C=001
but when i click on it, i get the error as above.
i am not sure whether it is any permissions issue in linux. or is the procedure not getting executed properly at all.
but iam able to read those pdfs and insert them into an oracle table.
but just not able to download them back again.
but exactly the same code and same tables etc work in windows.
Thanks,
Philip.

Printing a .pdf in CMYK not working??

Hello!
I need to create a pdf of an advert that I am having printed in a magazine. The Ad is about 10cm X 10cm so can fit onto and A4. The magazine say they need it with full printer marks inlcuding density bars and registration marks.
As far as I can see, the only way to get these marks on a colour advert is to go to Advanced Print Settings > Separations > Output: Composite CMYK. Then go to Page Setting and check all the Printer Marks.
I then put the name of the printer as Adobe PDF (with property setting "Press Quality" preset chosen) and then click print. It seems to print but then nothing happens! It doesnt come up with a dialog box to chose a file name or anything, even though I have selected "Prompt for Adobe PDF filename".
If I do the exact same thing with composite greycale chose, or composite RGB chosen it works fine! Why wont composite CMYK work?
Any ideas?
Liz

Hi,
Thank-you for answering!
I realise I wasnt very clear (probably because of my frustration!), but I am actually making the advert using Microsoft Publisher (not very hi-tech I know, I wish I could afford InDesign!).
I tried to add the printer marks using Acrobat X Pro after printing the .pdf from the publisher file, however the printer marks are not aligned with the advert, which sits in the middle of the A4 page. I tried to change the Crop Box to fit it, but it wasnt very accurate and was difficult to use.
I think the problem is to do my postscript options but I just dont understand it.
I dont understand why it is just the 'Composite CMYK' that it struggles with, and not any of the other options.
Any other ideas...?
Thanks,
Liz

Cannot print to pdf -There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate this document

I don't know if this is an Adobe pdf issue or just a Word 2013 thing.
But I'm now using Word 2013 on Win 8.1, 64 bit, 8Gs of Ram and when I go to print a few select pages of my document a message pop out at me saying
'There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate this document'.
When I had Win 7, the same amount of Ram and Word 2010, I print incrementally to pdf okay. Granted, sometimes certain pages print blank and I have to print it again after restarting the computer but at least I got stuff printed to pdf.
Now I go to print to pdf as little as 1 single page and that message just pop right up like a really bad penny. As far as I can tell, Adobe is up to date unless I'm missing something.
Has anyone ever had this issue and got it resolved?

Thanks TSN.
(how to check if Ram is full )?
the memory is 8 G Ram. I only have office 365, Acrobat X1 pro, Gimp, and Inkscape installed. The problem was there before I installed the last two.
I posted on Microsoft as well and the response was that since I could print the document on regular printer without any issues, then it is an Adobe issue. Using the toolbar is pdfing the full document. That takes a very, very, long time besides at the end of it, many pages are blank in the pdf file and then it is a matter of restarting the computer, re-pdfing until I am tired. So I print the pages incrementally. Any other way to pdf select pages without any problems?

Adobe Reader prints some PDF's and Not others

Hi
I can successfully print some pdf files but there are two that I cannot print. the one I am having problems with is 24 pages and I cannot print this as singles pages or as a booklet. I can print the file from another machine. I though it was maybe because I was still on Reader X so I upgraded it to the latest Reader XI but that didn't help either. On the machine that can print the file it will flatten all 24 pages then print them. On the machine that can't print the file it starts to flatten the first page but when it hits 95% it crashes Reader. It doesn't matter if I am trying to print all 24 pages or 1 of the 24 pages it still crashes. But other PDF files print normally.

My next guess would be HD-DVD, which is also not properly supported on the Mac. If there's some special extra form of copy protection, I suppose this could also present an issue. I've heard of that on CDs, but not DVDs. Another possible issue is if the discs are from a different region coding than your own. Imported DVDs can often have such region coding. Lastly, burned DVDs of pirated content often won't play because of broken copy protection duplication or if the content lacks the original menus on the original DVD.

Printing a PDF in Captivate (not a certificate)

I hope you all can help me. I'm working on a CBT in Captivate 4 for a brief tutorial. At the end of the course I need the employee you print out a PDF file that they sign and turn in to their manager. The employees taking this course are not computer savvy at all so I want the PDF to print automatically or at the very least automatically bring up the print dialogue box like it does if you use the certificate widget.
I've figured out how to add a button that opens the PDF file, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to go straight to print. The trick is that I'm only working in Captivate and don't have Flash. Is this possible?
Cheers,
Jay

JayDeeGee,
I almost repent having made it sound really simple. There are so many variables, such as how different browsers handle such events, client side security settings, javascript being disabled etc. It's a convoluted process and it's not guaranteed to work. I feel your pain but then again, If your audience cannot print a pdf file, maybe, they shouldn't ( I know I'm being acidic) . However, believing that good design should not stop at such hinderances, I can probably offer this: if you have Acrobat Standard (or Pro) you can provide simple instructions from within your pdf so that your learners can manage to print it.

Print to PDF option is not there anymore

I was trying to create a PDF via PRINT.
I was changing the settings and now the option to print to PDF is gone.
any ideas how to get it back?

I'm working on CS5 and when printing, under the Color Management pull down, there is one for Output.
There is a button on the bottom right "BLEED"
You can set the size there.
I also found my Print to PDF...
it's under PRINT SETTIINGS.
I could have sworn it was in the lower left, but that's browser.
still don't see how to set bleeds if I Save As.

When a mail is printed, the pdf version does not show "t" and letters next to it. WHY?

Happens regularly.

my guess is their is either something wrong with the PDF creator or the font in question is corrupted on the hard disk.

I can not print a PDF from a HP Photosmart Plus B210A. HP says its is a Adobe problem and Adoble says it is not there problem

I am unable to print a PDF file from a HP Photosmart Plus B210a. I contacted HP and they say because the printer does print word docs etc. the printer cannot be the cause of the problem. This is from the Top Level Support team. When contacting Adobe, they say that not being able to print their PDF files is not there problem but HP's.
Another call to HP and they now say it is Apple's problem.
I am in the middle and still can't print a PDF file. When trying to do so, it doesn't print and I receive no error messages. Just nothing. My serial number is
W88110PFZE3 and my operating system is OSX 10.6.8.
Does anyone have a suggestion, or do I just throw out HP?
Thanks, Bob L.

Try opening the PDF in Preview and see if it will print out of it.

Why can I not print a pdf document?

I have Adobe Reader installed on my iMac with Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.2, but cannot print any pdfs. Why not?

Don't know. What happens when you try? Can you open the document in Preview and print from there? Can you print from other applications?

HP Laserjet pro P1606 wont print certain pdf documents

My HP laserjet P1606 won't print certain pdf docs. It's connected via USB to my imac (OS 10.7.5; Adobe Reader 9.5.5). My wireless HP Photosmart 6520 has no problem printing my pdf docs. Not sure why some pdf's are able to print on the P1606 and others can't. Any solutions?
This question was solved.

Hi @JL_MAC,
I understand that you aren't able to print all the PDF documents from the HP Laserjet P1606dn, but the Photosmart 6520 can. I can help you with this.
Run all the Adobe Reader updates to see if that helps. The latest version is 11.0.
It might be a issue with the printer language.
The Laserjet P1606dn printer is hostbased and the Photosmart 6520 printer language is PCL3 GUI.
Hope this helps.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Acrobat PDF 8 printer missing pdf options

I have seen this discussed in a few places, but have never come across a fix that works for me. Basically when trying to print to the pdf printer, the pdf options is not available in the drop-down of printer settings. This is affecting about 10 of my machines at different sites.
I have tried removing the ppd and letting Acrobat repair it. I have also tried multiple other suggestions to change the permissions of the ppd file. the other method I have tried is to remove the pdf preferences from ~/Library/Preferences.
I am running 10.4.11 on all of these machines with the latest version of Acrobat 8 professional.
Thank you for any help you can provide!
-Ken

I've been playing with this for a couple of months now and haven't got any closer to a solution. It is not application specific. The problem can be seen when printing from any application to the Adobe PDF 8 printer.
The only thing I can think of that may be different is that I modified the Adobe installer to include the volume serial number for our organization.
Things I have tried that have not worked:
* Cleared caches, preferences, fixed permissions, verified no disk problems
* removed PPD, and PDF plugins from /Library/Printers/PPD\ Plugins/ and /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf088
* removed preferences and application support files from /Library and ~/Library
* Let Acrobat repair everything
* Reset print system
* Ran all updates
* Manually uninstalled CS3 and re-installed
I have the same problem on Leopard, but I am able to fix it by fixing the two aliases located in ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.print/AdobePDF8/Aliases/ Or just simply delething them and letting them regenerate.
I know more people out there are having the same problem, I just don't see any answers out there that actually work.
Thank you,
Ken
