Printer Marks in Acrobat 8 Standard

I want to print various PDF files and have the file name included on the printed page. I can do this in Acrobat 8 Pro by choosing Advanced/Marks and Bleeds/Page Information from within the print dialog box on a Mac. However, I need to do this using Acrobat 8 Standard on Windows XP but I do not see the same options or anything similar. Is there a way to do this with Acrobat 8 Standard?
Thanks, Jon

You could try to insert a header or footer on the pdf. I don't have
standard but it should work.

  • [Solved] Adding Printer Marks to a Pages document in Acrobat

    By "Printer Marks" I mean "bleeds" and "crop marks".
    A bleed is the area of the paper that will be trimmed off after the job is printed.
    Crop marks indicate the exact place where the paper is to be trimmed.
    Background:
    I normally do programming and web development, but, after having spent about three hours fiddling around tryng to transform our Pages-made brochure into something to send to commercial printers, I thought I'd record the process so as not to waste so much time on the next occasion we do something similar.
    I thought I'd share this with other Pages users because Pages has no native support for Printer Marks and PDF files contain this as metadata, so a commercial printer will expect this to be properly set up. I believe their printers may even read the PDF metadata.
    Required:
    Pages and Acrobat Pro. (I have Pages '09 and Acrobat 9 Pro - updated from the one originally distributed with Adobe CS3)
    Recipe:
    Set up a custom page size in Pages.
    e.g. For an A4 sheet size (210 x 297 mm), the Pages "Page Setup" should specify 220 x 307 mm allowing for a 5mm bleed all round.
    'Print' the document to 'Adobe Acrobat PDF' (which, for me, automatically opens up Acrobat Pro 9)
    In Acrobat, go to: Advanced >> Print Production >> Crop Pages
    The excellent article at http://www.prepressure.com/pdf/basics/page_boxes explains the Acrobat box model and points out that  PDF files will embed this important info for the printer:
    The Trimbox  (defining the intended dimensions of the finished page): e.g. A4
    the BleedBox and the MediaBox which are e.g. 5mm bigger all round the A4 sheet and will contain the Printer Marks.
    So: You only need to edit the margins of the Trimbox on "All Pages". Acrobat will add the Printer Marks outside the TrimBox.
    Ensure no other margins are accidentally edited.
    The MediaBox is the imported page size and is not editable in the Crop Pages dialog
    The  Bleedbox you wil most likely want to be the same as the Mediabox so won't need editing. Ensure it's 0,0,0,0.
    The TrimBox is editable - and should be edited - here (e.g. add 5mm 'margins' all round to allow for the bleed.)
    Click OK: Now if you specified margins for the CropBox …. but why would you? ... but this may be default Acrobat behaviour! .. you will have cropped out the screen area where the Printer Marks will be displayed.
    Go to Advanced >> Print Production >> Add Printer Marks
    I didn't check "All Marks" because I had a spurious Registration? "capstan" added in the middle of a page on one occasion. I checked Trim Marks, Bleed Marks and Color Bars. … on "All Pages".
    Click OK; Command+S to save file.
    Good to go!

    Use the Add Printer Marks tool:

  • Can't print from PowerPoint 2003 using Acrobat Standard 9.3.4

    Getting an error while trying to print using the PDF icon in PowerPoint (2003): “An error occurred while trying to print to Adobe PDF”.  Cannot print to the Adobe PDF printer either.  Acrobat Standard was removed and re-installed and still cannot print.

    I did as benshaine posted in his thread here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789780 I installed Firefox 3.5.10 to my desktop, printed from 3.5.10 and then went back into 3.6.x and I could print.

  • How do you Simulate Overprint in Acrobat Standard?

    I know how to simulate overprint in Professional but is it in Standard?
    anyone?

    Are you asking with regard to printing or viewing?
    I'll answer from the standpoint of Acrobat 9 Standard.
    Viewing: Under the Preferences > Page Display in the "Page Content and Information" section you have a few options for simulating overprint. (Only for PDF/x files - this is default; Never, Always, Automatic). Automatic examines the document for any content that needs simulate overprint preview ON in order to display as it would at print time. Acrobat 8 should have similar options, but not all.
    Printing: You cannot simulate overprint at print time from Acrobat Standard. (I'm referring to the setting in the Advanced Options print dialog in Acrobat Pro that allow you to simulate overprinting in printed output for proofing to a printer that doesn't support overprinting)
    Does this help?

  • Printing with Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

    Does anyone have issues printing in Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard with the HP CM1415fnw? I thought I have the latest driver downloaded.

    Check the settings in the Print Screen / Page Handling section - you may need to check or un-check the auto rotate and center button?

  • Acrobat 9 pro, crashes with Printer Marks

    In Acrobat 9 pro, open the PDF file,  add the Printer Marks for “Trim” and “Registration”, save the file and close the acrobat. Wait for few minutes and the acrobat crash occurs. Attached the screen shot. Please let know the solution for this issue.

    Good day,
    I'd like to confirm a few things:
    What action/activity are you performing in Acrobat when it crashes?
    Is the crash consistent at the same point?
    You stated in the subject '..after upgrading to 10.6.7'
    What OS was on your iMac when you purchased it?
    Was this problem occuring when using an earlier verion of 10.6.x?
    Have you applied to font update Apple released to address some of the problems they introduced with 10.6.7?
    Did you perform a clean install of Acrobat on your iMac after you purchased it or was the application transferred in some way?
    I hope we can get this resolved for you!

  • How do I print from PSE9 to Acrobat Standard X?

    I have a new computer with Windows 7 and PSE 9 and Acrobat Standard X.
    I have no problems editing and printing pictures out on my HP 7410.  However when I attempt to print a pdf it says its doing it (but I do not see the normal Adobe logo going round bottom right hand corner, nor do I get a pdf.
    When I go into Acrobat and follow the option to create a pdf from a file I get my pdf but this is not v convenient - it is, for me, v much a temporary "work round" - can anyone help?
    I did attempt to "search the forum" for similar queries but that didn't seem to be operational either!!
    Look forward to hearing something!

    Hi,
    Maybe some more details would help in isolating the issue :
    As you said "I have no problems editing and printing pictures out on my HP 7410" , Are you able to print any other files (other than pdf) edited in PSE correctly ?
    Do you see any error message or something while printing pdf from PSE ? If yes, then what are the steps you are taking and when do you encounter the problem ?
    thanks,
    Ash

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard v 8 works, but print-to-PDF does not

    I've been trying to migrate my main computer usage from an XP desktop to a Windows 7 laptop. I've had Acrobat Standard v 8 on both computers for years but have rarely used the laptop. (I mostly used the laptop as a dumb terminal to reach through the internet to my desktop.) Now I'm determined to make the laptop into my daily WORKING computer.
    I see that Acrobat Standard works on the laptop (opens files, deletes pages, etc.) but I cannot print anything to PDF. When I try to print (from Notepad, Word, or anything) the "Adobe PDF" printer shows as my default printer. But nothing happens. It doesn't ask for a filename and the printer window (?) shows error on printing.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Standard 8 in January 2013 when it had stopped working altogether (opening a PDF would flash open then close/crash) which was probably caused by "a friend" installing an unlicensed (or wrongly licensed) version of Microsoft Office 2010. I uninstalled all of that mush and put a new version of Office on (2013, licensed). I don't recall if the print-to-PDF has worked since; but I suspect not.
    Does anyone know how to fix it?
    I'm afraid to uninstall and reinstall the whole Acrobat again. Someone once told me that you can only re-activate your license so many times and then one day it won't reactivate. And since my version is so old and has been reinstalled after virus cleanups (reformatting system disks), I don't know if Tech Support will fix that sort of activation problem. That last thing I want to do is use new software, or have to go to a non-Adobe PDF editor when I already have software paid for. And yes, I have the original Acrobat Standard v 8 CDs.

    1. I don't care about the button in Word; just trying to get a PRINT-TO-PDF function going.
    2. The CD installed 8.0.0 even though I have 8.1.4 on my other computer (the XP desktop I'm trying to make obsolete). I will try to find upgrade downloads somewhere.
    3. I tried to use the original CD and do a "Repair" option (not remove nor install). It went through the motions and would come up with an error. So I googled and found the article titled "Error "The file AdobePDF.dll is needed" | CS3 | 64-bit Windows" (http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-file-adobepdf-dll-needed.html) and applied the directions for Windows 7 64-bit version (which my laptop is), but the fix didn't work.
    Still researching, and #2 above looks like the best next course of action.

  • How do I install the PDF printer in Acrobat Standard 10.1.12??

    Updated to Acrobat Standard 10.1.12 a week ago and noticed that no PDF printer was installed.  How do I install the PDF printer??

    Sara,
    Yes I’m running Windows 7 (64-bit).  I went to the web site and followed the Add Printer instructions.  I tried all of the Adobe PDF Converters and I got either one or the other of the two messages in the attached file.  I appreciate your help and hope you’ve got other ideas.  By the way, I’ve already completely un-installed Acrobat Standard X and reinstalled.  No joy.  When I got this PC I had to install this version of Acrobat on the machine and I had no problems like this.  I have also applied several updates to my original version of Acrobat Standard X and I never had this issue.  This issue just came about when I applied the 10.1.12 update.  But the un-install and re-install has not fixed the PDF printer issue.
    So, hope you’ve got some other magic.  It does seem like some needed Adobe software is missing or there is something else on my machine that is impacting the proper installation of the Adobe software pieces (or not allowing some pieces to install).
    Thanks for your help,
    Nick

  • Need help - Print Menue in Acrobat Pro and Standard

    Hello,
    at first, i have to apologize for my bad englisch because I'm german.
    I downloaded a Trial of Acrobat pro and there I hava an extended Print menue where I can choose individual Color Profiles.
    There is an image attached.
    But I don't really need the Acobat pro Features, because I need Acrobat only for Color Printing on my Printer. And it ist expensive.
    So my Question to you is: Is this extended Print menue also in Acobat 9 Standard?
    There is no Trial, so that I hope, that someone can help me.
    Can I also set this settings in Acrobat 9 Standard?
    Thank you very much for helping me with my buying decision.
    Greetings from Munich
    Sebastian

    The Advanced Print menu in 9 Standard does not have all of the options that are in your screen shot.
    Checked with a coworker who has 9 Standard, and the options are much more limited. (I have 8 Pro).
    Bad news is you would need 9 Pro.
    Saw this the other day; sorry for the slow answer, good luck.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard XI print issue

    When opening a PDF in internet explorer, adobe acrobat won’t read pre chosen print driver settings.
    When using acrobat stand alone, not in internet explorer, it does read the print settings.
    Specifically the issue is you set up print driver as single sided print under finishing.
    Only when you open PDF in IE, does acrobat choose 2 sided, it doesn’t read your single side setting under finishing.
    This does not happen for adobe reader by itself, with no acrobat. If acrobat is installed in addition to adobe reader, it still happens for acrobat.
    Windows 7 64bit Enterprise
    Internet Explorer - 10.0.9200.16897
    Adobe Reader XI - 11.0.3
    Adobe Acrobat Standard XI - 11.0.0 also tried update to 11.0.09

    Try this KB document:
    Serial dialog box appears | Printing | Version 11.0.01

  • PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

    I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet.  The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is  trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17.  I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI.  I did double check for updates on both products and installed them.  Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?  If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

    Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
    In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
    1) Click ADVANCED
    2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
    3) Set DPI to 300
    4) Click OK
    5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

  • Printing web page to pdf file using Acrobat Standard 9

    When I print a web page to a pdf file, the text in the file is mostly garbled.  I have no problems in creating pdf files from MS office or other software.  I have Windows 7 Home.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I do have Internet Explorer 9 and I was able to print web pages correctly following  your suggestions.

    There were problems with IE9 on it's initial release and that may be what you are seeing if that is the browser (you did not indicate the browser and that may be a key). If you have a different browser you might try that one with the same pages to see if it browser related.
    By saying garbled it sounds like the fonts did not make it or you have selected "Use Local Fonts" in Acrobat. Try checking the latter first. Then check if the fonts are embedded in the PDF by checking the document properties (ctrl-D). If they are not, go back to the browser and select the press or print job options before printing and see if they get embedded and if your problem is resolved.

  • I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Pro

    I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Production Tools on both computers?

    This is quite odd. I wonder if you could try something for me on EACH computer.
    Use Help > About Adobe Acrobat DC.
    At the top of the box it should say Adobe Acrobat Pro DC or Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.
    On each of the two machines, what does it say? (I think something odd has happened)

    Can anyone make any other suggestions?
    Thank you.
