"Print to PDF" w/ Acrobat Pro 8 on Mac 10.6

I have the following:
MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.3
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
Customer support told me to post my question here, so this is what I am doing.
I have a 800+ page pdf file open in Acrobat 8 Pro. I want to "print" several non-consecutive pages from that file to another pdf file. So, for example, when want to print pages 170, 171-175, 186-197, I select file>print, then type in these selected pages. Then I change the printer selector to "Adobe PDF 8" (Note that this name has an exclamation point icon in front of it, which to me is a red flag). When I hit "print" to create the new pdf, the job is sent to my printer where it sits as paused. I can't get it to "print to pdf".
I tried printing to pdf from the web but ran into the same problem.
I have used Acrobat on Windows for years and I know that I should be able to do what I am trying to do. Not sure why I can't do it. Read a post about Snow Leopard blocking the pdf printer, but not sure if that is correct. If it is correct, there has to be some work-around that will allow me to efficiently do what I want to do. Or is there something known that Mac support can do to help me?
This is such a basic function of Acrobat I can't believe that there is not some way to do it. But if there is not some way to do it, it will be VERY disappointing.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Will this help you:

I can't print a PDF in Acrobat Pro anymore

Up until very recently, I had no problem printing a PDF on my Canon while in Acrobat Pro on my Mac Pro running 10.7.5. I'm running Acrobat Pro 11.0.07. This is just making me crazed.
In my Google research travels:
I've tried printing as an image. No luck.
I do not have any other printers set up in my system preferences.
I've tried removing any protection. I've tried sanitizing the document.
I am able to print if I open the PDF in Preview.
What the bleep has Adobe gone and done? Does anyone have any suggestions?

This just started happening to me today. Did you ever get this solved?

Problems with print to pdf with Acrobat Pro 9 and FireFox 8

***The page I am using for my base is: http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/2010/12/google-ebooks.html
***I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and FireFox 8 installed.
The problem with FireFox is when I select a part of a web page and try to print that selected text the first line gets chopped, if the text is small the first line might even be missing completely. Perhaps it is a margin issue but not sure how to modify this.
I know I am not being very clear but if anybody has any ideas or would like further info please let me know.
Thank you.

I suspect if you do the same process with a print to paper, you will get the same result. I got the same result with SeaMonkey, but IE8 printed the full font to a PDF. That would suggest it is not Acrobat, but the browser. As I said, suggests, so be careful about drawing your conclusions.

Problem printing PDF with Acrobat Pro 9.4.4

Hi!
I can't correctly print a PDF with Acrobat Pro that was created in Indesign CS5.
I want to print it on a letter format (8,5 X 11") and it offers me a format of 8,49 X 10,99". It results in having my document being printed as tile with it's original format 12 X 21,5" as if I didn't adjust the format to be reduced.
I temporary used Preview to print my PDF, but now I can't as the encoding in which I received the PDF used to be "Creo Normalizer JTP" and now it is "Adobe PDF Library 9.9"
If anyone can help!
This is my first time here, thanks in advance for your help

Here's what it looks like (I work in french, hope you can understand)
I just updated my software, thanks for that!
Now, my problem is still on... I still have the very same result when I print. I did selected the correct Page Scalling I needed. I did selected the paper size I wanted. I chose Shrink to Printable Area and I tried with Fit to Printable Area.
Since I've had this problem the size appears as : 8,49 X 10,99 (Instead of 8,5 X 11). I tried with Legal (8,5 X 14) but it appears as 8,49 X 13,99. I went through the preferences, but I can't find anything that could be the problem.
Any other idea?
Thanks!!
Also, Preview was very helpful, as it did print my PDF correctly! I understand it's not the best... but it did the job

How Can I Create a Print Button on a PDF Using Acrobat Pro That Will Also Work on iOS?

I created a Print Button on a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat Pro on my Mac. The Print button works perfectly on different browsers on my Mac and on Windows (running under Parallels Desktop) as well.
When I open the document on my iPad the Print button doesn't even appear. I am guessing that this is a Flash issue but it may be more related to the fact the the action for the button is to access the Print menu item, which doesn't exist under iOS.
Is there any way to create a Print button using Acrobat Pro that will work on a Mac and Windows but also on iOS?

In order to initiate printing by clicking a button, the button has to have either an "execute menu item" type action or use the "print" JavaScript method. As you guessed, the former won't work since there are no menu items to execute, and the latter can only work if the particular PDF viewer you're using supports it. I'm not aware of any that do on iOS.
The button doesn't appear because you're probably opening it in the default PDF viewer, which doesn't support forms at all. If you were to open the form in Adobe Reader, you'd see the button but it wouldn't work.

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help, Bruce

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help, Bruce

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Printing to PDF using Acrobat X Pro - Cannot figure it out!

I do not have the option to print to pdf and cannot figure out how to perform this function. Following the user guides there should be an option under file > Print > advanced > print to pdf
However under the advanced options i do not have the option "print to pdf"
Furthermore, if i scroll through my printer options this is also not available.
Please help!

I tied to print to pdf within Acrobat 10 Pro yesterday trying to solve a printing problem. It seemed that the application would not print to pdf but required me instead to "save as" pdf to create another pdf copy.

Print only cursor-selected area of a PDF in Acrobat Pro, just as it is psbl to do in a browser

Hi
I want to print only cursor-selected area of a PDF in Acrobat Pro. That could be both text and images, which are in my selection. Just as it is psbl to do in a browser. Is it possible in Acrobat PRO?
I am using the latest Acrobat Pro 11.0.9

Thanks for your effort but this again clearly does NOT answer my question. I do see a particular problem and that is that I might want to select text and images over a range of multiple pages. In a doc of 20 pages I might want to make a single selection of the text starting PRECISELY at the MIDDLE of page 2 and then continue dragging my selection all the way to PRECISELY the MIDDLE of page 15, thereby selecting all text and images within the precise range of my selection. That is some 13 pages there and I want to print out ONLY THAT selection of text and images. And in that case I cannot use your suggestion with the marquee zoom. Do you get me?

How: MS Word to .pdf by Command P, hitting the PDF button, and then the button for "save as Adobe pdf"
I didn't have this problem at all on prior versions of Adobe on my PC.   This isn't a Mac attack, is it?

Is there any way to "Print to PDF" from Acrobat?

In Windows, you can open a PDF in Acrobat and print it to a PDF. This isn't behavior isn't available in the Mac version—trying to use "Save as PDF" and "Save as Adobe PDF" both produce the following error message:
Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save.
Is there any way to print to a PDF from Acrobat Pro X on a Mac (running Snow Leopard)?
Note: There's a utility to being able to print from a PDF to PDF (which I why I suspect it's available in the Windows version), so "You're doing it wrong—just Click File > Save" would not be a very helpful response. I'm sure there are other uses for the functionality, but in my case in particular I need to split each page of a scanned PDF in which each page contains two pages of the original document. Printing to a PDF provides an easy way to do this, but I'm open to a more appropriate solution if it's available.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Adobe removed the ability to "refry" (make a PDF from a PDF) several versions ago.
what you need is to go to document and choose Remove (delete) pages (if it’s a duplicate Page)
You can also extract pages, add pages and so on. See this:

When I try to save a form as "Reader Extended PDF" in Acrobat Pro, I get an error message "This document could not be reader enabled".

Hello,
When I try to save a form as “Reader Extended PDF” in Acrobat Pro, I get an error message “This document could not be reader enabled”.
The steps I’m following are described below:
1. Insert electronic signatures
- In Tasks, click on “Add New Field -> Digital Signature”.
- Move the square to the place where you want to put the signature and click.
- Fill in the “field name” with the name of the person who has to sign here.
- When it is done, click anywhere on the screen.
- In Tasks, click on “Close Form editing”.
- Go to menu “File -> Save as -> Reader Extended PDF ->Enable additional features”, click on “Save now”.
- Fill in the file name and click on “Save”.
2. Save the Form
- In Tasks, click on “Close Form editing”.
- Go to menu “File -> Save as -> Reader Extended PDF ->Enable additional features”, click on “Save now”.
- Fill in the file name and click on “Save”.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.0.0 on a W7 workstation
Here's a screenshot of the problem.
Thanks a lot.

Is it possible to edit a pdf with Acrobat Pro XI that was created in LiveCycle?

I downloaded a trial version of LiveCycle awhile back. I created several forms. The trial period ended and I would like to change something. When I try to edit the pdf in Acrobat Pro it tells me that I must use LiveCycle to edit it. Is there a workaround for this? Thank you in advance for any replies.
Dana

No, all LCD forms can only be edited in LCD.
And the second trial is probably not going to work, unless you install it
on a different computer.
The best way to salvage your form, in my experience, is to print it to the
Adobe PDF printer, creating a new flat PDF file and then running the Form
Detection Wizard in Acrobat on it and continuing from there. It probably
won't do a perfect job, but it should recognize some of the fields.

Can not create hi res pdf in Acrobat Pro v9 - distiller

I am having problems creating a high res PDF in Acrobat Pro 9.0, it looks like distiller will not remember or accept that I am selecting hi res definitions before I print from Quark v6.0.

You're better off asking in the SDK forum:

Unable to print multiple copies in Acrobat Pro

I am trying to print 2 copies of a 5 page PDF using Acrobat Pro 8.2.6
When i send the PDF to print 2 or more copies it goes as 1 document of 10,15,20 pages depending on how many copies I asked for.
It then prints page 1 of the second copy onto the back of page 5 of the first copy. not what I want!!!!
I have updated Acrobat to the latest version, deleted my printers including the drivers but no joy.
Any ideas?

What OS? What printer and printer driver? What are you printer driver settings?
If you have an odd number of pages in your document, you might consider adding an intentionally blank page. If your printer will not print an intentionally blank page, print a page with white text on a white background.
