Printing Adobe PDF direct to a Server

We have had this problem for a while now on the machines running Tiger in our office. When we use Acrobat 6 or 7 to print PDFs we have no problem printing to the local computer. Ideally we want to print them directly to specific project folders on the server but for some reason we can only print to the first level of each partition. As soon as we want to save to 1 folder deep or more the process runs as normal and appears to have printed but there will be nothing in the folder we asked to save to.
This is not an issue with our Panther machines.
We typically use one of the default settings ('high quality') set in Distiller and always ask to save to a specific location. I really don't know whether this is an Acrobat or Tiger problem but as it happens on all the Tiger machines in our office I hope someone out there has run into the same problem. We would use the OSX built-in PDF printer but we get much better PDFs from Vectorworks if we use Acrobat. I had hoped 10.4.7 would have solved the issue but it hasn't. The server we use is OSX Server 10.1... could this be the problem?

Printing to Adobe PDF directly without going to PostScript

I would like to know if there is a way to use programmatically the Adobe PDF printer and the resulting file is .pdf not .ps?
or make a pdf document silently from postscript?

Sure – details for how to print ot the Adobe PDF printer are in the SDK.

Error when printing a PDF direct from SAP archive

Hi together,
I try to print a PDF direct from SAP archive and I got the error ""C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\reader\AcroRd.exe" /p /h" not found. In the internet I found several topics which describe this way to print a PDF without open the Acrobat Reader.
The customizing for document management (Local application) seems o.k. If I remove in the registry the parameters /h /p for print, Acrobat Reader will open and show the document if I use the print button in SAP.
Have anybody an idea what the reason is?
Thank you.
Regards
Thomas

The rundll32 error seems to have disappeared. Until this morning I had both this error and the rundll32. All other types of docs open fine. This one will open if saved to the desktop first, but not from Outlook.

Please advice ....

Print a pdf directly to a printer to avoid repeated ripping of the same image

Hi,
I have created a 3.000 pages document from inDesign heaving its page the same color image as background and variable data. The document exported as pdf. Because of this method the file has very little size (about 3MB). The acrobat print engine take the image once and the resulted pdf does not using a copy in every page but share it (very cool).
The problem that I have is that when I print this pdf using the windows postscript drivers of my industrial printer (Xerox) then it takes very long time to ripp. I think that even if the pdf has only once the image the windows drivers does not understand this and send the image with every page.
I discussed this with someone and told me to print the pdf directly to the printer without the interference of printer's driver. As an example he mentioned that when we have a postscript file we do the same to print it (otherwise the postscript code will be printed) using a command line like lpr and put as an argument the IP of the printer (or using some tools for this like the free PrintFile but tghis is only for postscript files).
Could someone explain to me what he meant? And how is the syntax of the lpr?
Thanks in advance

Do you mean that the information for the label is huge on a letter or A4 page and you want to shrink it to the size of the label, or do you have a small region that you want to print to the label? Your work flow is not coming through at all and it is hard to help as a result.
If you have a label size print on a large page, then crop the page to the label print. Then go to the print menu, select the label paper, set shrink to fit, and print. At least I think that is what you are looking for.

I cannot print adobe pdf documents as it is password protected. I forgot my password. How do I fix this problem?

I cannot print adobe pdf documents. Password protected. How do I fix this problem?

You'll need to remember it or recreate the PDF from the original file.
If there were an easy way to get around that, passwords wouldn't be worth much.

Print Adobe PDF: Choose file save location

Currently, when I select Print, then select Printer: Adobe PDF 9.0, and press Print, the PDF file is saved to my Desktop. Where is the preference setting to save the PDF file somewhere of my choosing?

Thanks Lady Designer, your method works. However, it's too many steps for what I'll need to do. I have approximately 200 e-mail messages to print to file. It'd be much faster to select a message, Command+P, Enter, and continue with the next message. Your method requires the additional steps of clicking on the PDF button and selecting Save As PDF.
You're probably thinking, "Why doesn't he just select all the messages and print once?" I tried that.
When I choose to the PDF button and Save As PDF, no matter how many multiple messages I choose, only one of the messages turns into a PDF file. The other messages, despite being (apparently) processed, do not become PDF files. In fact, they become nothing; I know what happens to them.
When I choose to print using Adobe PDF 9.0 as my printer, I'm not given the opportunity to select a destination for multiple files; they automatically print to the Desktop. All the messages, however, do become PDF files.
Unless there's a way to select a file destination to which the Adobe PDF 9.0 printer can default, my choices are to either print-to-file each message one at a time; or print all the messages at once with the one method that works, but that will flood my Desktop with a couple hundred file icons. Although the mess lasts as long as it would take to gather the files into a new folder, I prefer to save myself the trouble.

Printing Adobe PDF files through Airport Extreme

I am trying to print Adobe PDF files to my HP5900 through an Airport Extreme. I can print other types of files (ai, eps, qxd) but i am unable to print PDF files. When i hit "print" the rainbow wheel starts spinning and it just gets stuck forcing me to force quit. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have ideas for a solution? Thanks

Have you tried printing the PDF from more than one application (just to eliminate the possibility of an application problem)?

Printer ADOBE PDF 9.0 - page orientation

After uninstalling Adobe Acrobat 8 it occures that the remained Acrobat 9 messages on start to need to fix some missing components. I clicked okay/yes.
However, now I can't print to ADOBE PDF 9.0 in landscape orientation. All pages come out turned to portrait format. I used to use settings created in InDesign successfully, there is no page format setting at all (compared to Distiller settings). I tried various settings and printed from various applications.
Then I deletetd the printer ADOBE PDF 9.0 and created it new. (in use now: Adobe PDF 3018.101; URL: pdf900://distiller).
After some other trials now it prints fine from some but still turned around from other applications.
What can I do, to get printed PDFs in selected page orientation only?
Any hints appretiated! Thank you, - thomas

Of cause I do set up the page to landscape before printing. In all applications it's the same procedure: usual visually by clicking on a portrait or landscape page icon, whereas in some applications the shown measurement next to the print preview icon does not change it does in others (from 21 cm x 29,7 cm to 29,7 cm x 21 cm). That's sort of just GUI I guess, not my print issues origin.
However, this issue aperas to came with uninstalling Acrobat 8. Assumly some part got lost/corrupt (and made Acrobat 9 complain about missing components on start) - but which indeed? And how to replace?
I'd like to avoid a reinstall for the moment, cause I remeber this behave in earlier, ancient times with Updates from version 5, 6 or 7. Pity, I can't remember how I solved it, may be I did not at all until version 8, don't know anymore. But I do remember I did quite a lot of reinstalls without success in this print with ADOBE PDF paper orientation issue.

Incorrectly functions the printer "Adobe PDF" At All Adobe Acrobat

Why, at the print of file PDF by means of printer "Adobe PDF", bookmarks vanish?

They have never been included in the printer. It takes a fair amount of extra coding that in the past was done with PDF Marks. The PDF Maker before AA9 had a preprocessor that added the PDF Marks to provide the functionality you want. As for the printer, it gives the same thing you get as if you print to paper. Paper doesn't have the bookmarks either.

Hp LaserJet 4050n won't print Adobe PDF Files

I have a new Computer with Adobe Reader 8.1 with Windows XP Home. I have a HP 4050n LaserJet printer. I received two Adobe Pdf files in a email today. My first attempt to print them gave me the following error message:
PCL XL error
Subsystem: KERNEL
Error: ILLegalTag
Operator: 0x1
Position: 11005
I then downloaded the latest HP drivers for XP, PCL 6 and it didn't work.
I next downloaded HP driver 4050n 5e.
The first pdf file printed just fine. The Second one printed with letters and symbols running through out the page.
Can anybody tell me how to solve the problem? Is there a special driver needed for my 4050n printer? Am I using the right version of Adobe?
Thanks,
John

I uninstall the HP5e driver and stayed with the Pcl 6 driver. In order to get the pdf files to print I had to go to advance and select images without a back round. Then the file printed out. Seems like a
waste of my time.

Recently bought new printer. All works fine with one OSX user. However, cannot print anything on other OSX user, including cannot print Adobe PDFs or to new printer. Puzzling!

computer = Mac PowerPC G5
OS = 10.4.11
Adobe Acrobat 7
HP laserjet M1212nf
I recently bought a new HP printer. I was on an admin user when I installed it. All works fine with this admin account/user. I can print to the HP, print to Adobe PDFs.
However, when I then go over to another user account, I cannot print *anything*. I cannot print to Adobe PDF, cannot print to the new HP. If I try to print an excel file, it says "cannot communicate with the printer" along with some useless suggestions. If I try to print a page on FireFox, nothing happens. That is, sure I get the usual dialog box, click the appropriate choice of printer, click the number of copies, then click the OK button ... and nothing happens. No pdf process is started. Nothing is sent to the HP printer.
The fact that both printer options are not working suggests it is some kind of OS problem, not specific to either printer "device".
Any assistance is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi BDAqua,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm a bit leery of trying that. I would think that if the driver was not installed, then none of my users could use the printer. However, both admin users can use the new printer. The list of available printers is:
Adobe PDF 7.0
New HP Printer
I also used to have Old HP Printer, which I removed. Before, Users A, B and C could use both the Adobe PDF and the Old HP printers. Then, after I added the New HP Printer, it showed up in the list of printers for all three users. However, after I added the new printer, only the two admin accounts, users A and C, can actually print anything. Both users A and C can use the Adobe PDF printer AND the New HP Printer. But I get error messages with user B, for both the Adobe PDF printer and the New HP Printer.

Printer Adobe PDF (Acrobat X)

Hi!
I am having problem printing an Illustrator file or Excel file into the Adobe PDF (Acrobat X, from Design Standar CS5.5). I'm getting an error that says: Can't find Adobe PDF ressource files, C:\documents and settings\user\application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\settings\minimal file size.joboptions (in french it is: Taille de fichier minimales.joboptions) .
You need Administrator Rights to install these File.
Do I really need to give the user admin rights? I did tried running the application in Administrator mode (Run As), it was working, but in that folder, there is no such file.
Thanks if you can help me

Good day,
Can't find Adobe PDF ressource files, C:\documents and settings\user\application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\settings\minimal file size.joboptions (in french it is: Taille de fichier minimales.joboptions) .
You need Administrator Rights to install these File.
Do I really need to give the user admin rights? I did tried running the application in Administrator mode (Run As), it was working, but in that folder, there is no such file.
It sounds like you've got a custom job option that you're trying to access. Try placing your custom job option here: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings
This should allow all users, regardless of rights level, access to your file.
