Printing collated adobe pdf's docs to a Xerox Phaser 6130n printer

I’m running into a very odd issue I hope you can help out with it. If I try to print a document from adobe reader XI or adobe creative cloud pro XI or adobe pro 9 to a phaser 6130n printer it will not collate. If I send a word document it works just fine. I’ve tried check the driver replacing the driver two different computers and still get the same results. Anyone have any ideas?

Same issue here with Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06. It will NOT collate whatsoever, regardless of the settings on the Print Dialog or the Printer Properties. It works with all other apps. Using HP Postscript drivers that come with Windows 7 SP1.

How do I use the filter to automatically print email and .pdf, .xls, .doc attachments to my default network printer and to other network printers

I receive sales orders by email. I want to filter some to print on my default network printer and others to print on another network printer. The email body must print as well as txt, .pdf, .xls, .doc attachments.

You can filter messages to file them to a certain folder, but I don't think you can have Thunderbird to automatically print them.

Cannot print to Adobe PDF from InDesign CS4 under Snow Leopard (10.6.2)

Hello All,
Hopefully the subject line says all. Running SL and CS4, and after manually deleting the "old" Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, I am unable to print to PDF — or select "Save As Adobe PDF" under the Mac OS print dialog. This is insanely frustrating on may levels, as this was once a 3-minute operation and now has stretched into two days of futile searching for a solution.
There is a "tech doc" somewhere out there that offers a "solution". But beware, as it has not worked for me. Once you manually search for and remove the Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, you are supposed to magically be able to select the "Save As Adobe PDF" option. This is not the case for me.
Am trying to print, once again, from InDesign CS4 (NOT via the Export command as that will not allow me to set page size, or print separations). There is no Adobe PDF driver there anymore and there is no option to print PDFs. Of course, I can rest easier with the knowledge that everything is easier now in SL.

For a long time I was printing out of InDesign CS4 to a PS file and Distilling to a PDF, either composite or separated. Then Snow Leopard came along and that workflow seemed no longer available. It seems some well meaning people didn't understand a professional DTP workflow.
I had to work between two Macs to create a project and then make separations.
Eventually I went back to the Adobe InDesign forums and folks insisted that a Adobe PDF 9 printer should be available in my print drivers.
On that suggestion I completely uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and then reinstalled it.
It worked, I had the PDF printer back and can now print to a postscript file and do separations as I always have.
(Another story is that Snow Leopard killed my Epson 2200 printer)
At one stage I did an update of Acrobat 9 and it caused me to lose the Adobe printer again. Going through the procedure again brought it back and this time after a Acrobat 9 update it stuck.
In my opinion somebody screwed up. It's not enough to be able to create PDFs out of Microsoft Word. There are people out here trying to make a living and need to be able to create print separations for some offset printers.

Issue with HelveticaNeue text not being included when printing to Adobe PDF?

I have a document (Word 2010 docx) with a section of HelveticaNeue text on the front page that when printing through Adobe PDF the text does not appear.
Using Acrobat 9.4.6
Tried the same document with:
Win2Pdf - Displays correctly
Converted to .doc - Displays correctly
File\Save as PDF - Dispalys correctly
Any ideas? I can post the document up here but I can't see an option to.

You can try disabling the “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts” option in printer properties.
To do the same.In MS Word:
Goto File -> Print
Select Adobe PDF as printer.
Click on "Printer Properties".
Go to "Adobe PDF Settings" tab.
Uncheck the “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts”
Click Ok and try printing the document
Also update your Acrobat to latest version 9.5.0.

Printing to Adobe PDF versus converting to Adobe PDF

What is the difference in pdf files created from Microsoft Word doc files using two conversion methods in MS Word: (1) printing to Adobe PDF printer and (2) converting to Adobe PDF

In reference to my original question and my previous reply to your reply - do you think that printing a DOC document to Adobe PDF printer using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro creates a PDF file basically very similar to what one of the latest versions of Microsoft Word (for instance 2010 or 2013 for Windows) would create when one selects SAVE AS PDF?

PDF Size jumps when printing to Adobe PDF printer redirected vs. locally installed

I have a Server 2008 R2 setup to run Sage Peachtree as a RemoteApp. RemoteApp is configured to pass local drives and printers through to the server for end user ease. When you print an invoice (or any file from Peachtree) to the Adobe Acrobat
X "Adobe PDF" printer that has been redirected, a single page pdf will save at about 1.1mb. If I print the exact same invoice to a local install of Adobe Acrobat X "Adobe PDF" printer on the Server 2008 R2 install, it will save to
about 8kb (which is the expected size for a single page pdf of lines and txt).
If you then try and print the 1.1mb pdf file to a normal HP printer PS (postscript) driver, it will expand in the print spooler several magnitudes to about 10-15mb, giving the impression that it sees the pdf data as an image instead of txt.
My guess is that the data being sent over the remote desktop connection to the redirected "Adobe PDF" printer is coming out of the pipe in a form that Adobe can only interpret as a graphic and thus compresses it as though it was one.
Anyone have any ideas on how to the local printer and the redirected printers to receive the same type of data and thus create pdf files of similiar size?

I suspected as much. I was hopeful it was something like a setting that needed to be changed or a reg hack that needed a bit changed from 0 to 1 to make the printing work as expected. I only installed the local printer to see if the RDP session
tunnel was in fact causing the print size to balloon so I will continue to instruct users to use that instead of the local redirected printer. I am disappointed but not surprised.
Edit:
Additionally I have tested the functionality of setting the GPO settings for Easy Print to use the redirected printer's drivers instead of the ones used by easy print, by setting “Computer
Configuration -> Administrative templates -Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host -> Printer Redirection”.
to “Disabled” but
with no luck. In fact the printer received the proper Adobe PDF driver, but the job went out into print spool hell and was lost to the ether. I have concluded that this approach will not bear any fruit.

IE8 crashes during print to Adobe PDF (Acrobat 9 Pro)

IE8 and MS Paint both crash during print to Adobe PDF. Neither an update to latest version of Acrobat 9 Pro (9.5.3) nor running repair installation will fix this issue. Operating system is Windows 7 SP1.
Installed third party PDF Printer so that these two apps can print to pdf.
Any ideas?

The reinstall is typically the last ditch effort to do. The first step is Help>Repair and Help>Updates. As far as Office 2013, the PDF Maker of AA X is not compatible and you can only print. In your list of errors it showed a problem with AcroTray.exe. As a first step, go to the print and select print-to-file. The file will be a PS file (maybe with a PRN extension). Once the printer if finished, open the file in Distiller to complete the process. If that is successful, then the problem is with AcroTray. Check your running tasks to be sure AcroTray is indeed running. If not, that is likely the problem. If it is, then restart it (it is located in the Acrobat folder). AcroTray provides the interface between the PS creation and Distiller to automate the process of creating the PDF.

Internet Explorer 9 Printing to Adobe PDF Printer

Missing Some Document Folders in Windows 7 Professional w/ Internet Explorer 9 Printing to Adobe PDF Printer.
Document Library contains 81 folders.
With Internet Explorer 9 running – when I print to Adobe PDF Printer and try to locate a specific Document Library folder - 9 of the 81 folders are missing.
From Internet Explorer 9 – I locate a word or PDF document that I need to print to Adobe PDF Printer - This is the procedure that I follow:
Print
Select Printer
Adobe PDF
Libraries
Documents
My Documents - where 9 of the 81 folders are missing
Additional Information . . .
When I right click on a screen object in IE9 and select "Save As" I am able to locate and access all 81 folders.
With the same task and procedure from Microsoft Chrome – all 81 folders are shown and accessible.
Any help or pointing in the right direction greatly appreciated.

That shouldn't even be possible: Standard and Pro are mutually exclusive. Not surprised it has broken.
My recommendation
a. Make sure you have your Standard serial numbers and install media.
b. Uninstall the one you don't want at the moment.
c. REPAIR the one you do want.

Acrobat X Pro: Word 2003 Hangs Up When I Print to Adobe PDF

I have to print to Adobe PDF a LOT. Recently, I have been unable to do so from Word 2003. Whenever I go to print, it says "Word is preparing to background print your document" and freezes. I have experimented with turning background printing off, but that doesn't seemt o help. Help please!

You might also play with the printer spooling. Just change it to the opposite of what is currently set and see if that resolves the issue. You might also try to print to file with the Adobe PDF printer and then opening the file in Distiller to complete the process (the file will be a PS file, possibly with a PRN extension). If the latter works, you at least have a workaround for now.
You might also go to Help>Repair and see if that resolves the issue. I would also recommend the updates with Help>Updates.

Printing to Adobe PDF Changes Checkbox Selection in Document

Hi,
We have a PDF that we got from a client from their financial institution. One page has sets of checkboxes on it.
If we do File - Save As and save it as another PDF, the checkboxes stay as is.
If we print the file to our digital copier, the checkboxes stay as is.
However, if we print the PDF to the Adobe PDF print driver, the values of the checkboxes change.
Before print to Adobe PDF:
Yes
Yes
<no response>
After print to Adobe PDF:
No
No
Yes and No
It's as if the printed copy gets the photo negative values of the checkboxes that were actually checked on the original.
I've tried all of the different options in the Adobe PDF printer preferences, like unchecking "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" as well as all of the "Comments and Markup" dropdown box settings and the Page Sizing options doesn't seem to matter either.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? I've tried it on both Acrobat Standard 11.0.0 and 10.1.6
Thanks in advance,
John

Is the ESR version of Mozilla Firefox? If not, then try that version to see if the issue persists.
BTW the ESR version of Mozilla Firefox IS the supported version of Mozilla Firefox.

Printing to Adobe PDF - non-existant print queue or hanging up error

When printing to a pdf, the process is getting stuck in the printing/saving part of the process. As the attached image will show, the pop-up window shows the file name in the Document Name list, but it defaults to the file entitled "06-2013 Newsletter" (my apologies for all the black scribbles; they're there for privacy's sake). I am unable to select the name of the file I'm printing (in this case, "Combined"); it would appear that the pdf is trying to save into a file that already exists. I thought that perhaps the print queue needed to be cleared, but under Devices and Printers, "See what's printing" for the Adobe PDF printer shows nothing in the queue. The task then comes to a standstill and I am unable to continue.
After researching the issue, the only advice I can find is to do a "hard delete" of everything printing or spooling on my server to hopefully "force out" the stuck jobs, but this is not really an option during a busy workday when multiple jobs are printing at any given time. Is there a more simple solution that I am missing?

Well, after restarting my machine the print queue was cleared of all the dead jobs, but when attempting to print to PDF it hung up again, and then did the same as before - all subsequent jobs tried to save as the filename of the first job in the queue. Very annoying!

FrameMaker hangs and can't print to Adobe PDF

FrameMaker has been hanging and blowing up on me. Specifically, it hangs when I try to save all the chapters in a book. Some of these books are very small, maybe 20 or 30 pages. After I stop Frame thru Task Manager and reboot, I can reopen the book and my changes appear to be there. I looked through the forum and saw something that said it might be because the PC doesn't have enough memory. It has 3.5 GB RAM. Isn't that enough?
Also, when I print (to my default printer = Adobe PDF), if I unselect "print to file," nothing happens - no Distiller window opens - I don't see any new files generated. I can "save as PDF" just fine. I can "print to Adobe PDF" from other apps, just not from Frame. I can "print to file" and then open the resulting .ps; then Distiller opens and creates the PDF file. This is annoying - it used to automatically launch Distiller and create the PDF in one step instead of two.
I'm putting both this issues in a single topic because they both started at about the same time.
I tried re-installing Frame and Acrobat, but I didn't uninstall first.
I'm using Windows XP Pro and Frame 8.0p277.
So where do I go from here?
Thanks

Yes, the location for the Adope PDF printer had garbage in it. I fixed that. That has now fixed the problem.
However, Art's reply gave me an idea. I am using FrameMaker 8.0p277 (the version that came with Tech Comm Suite). Also, Acrobat 8 3D came with it.
Since then, however, I have installed Acrobat 9 Pro (which also provided Distiller 9).
Could it be that FrameMaker is trying to call Distiller 8, which no longer exists on my computer)?
Answering prev questions:
"So if you uncheck Print To File so the distiller generates the PS file and distills it automatically, nothing happens, right? It just sits there?
and
Have you tried selecting a different Job Option, like Standard, or High Quality?"
Yes, if I uncheck Print to File, nothing happens and no .ps or .pdf is created.
On the properties of my Adobe PDF printer
There are actually four entries. It does not seem to matter which one I choose.
I'm working now on seeing if I can get Acrobat re-installed.

3D PDF files in portfolio prints to Adobe PDF printer without content

3D PDF files in portfolio prints to Adobe PDF printer without content, but if printed from single 3D PDF file everything is fine. I need batch printing (this is the reason I use portfolio) of large amount of 3DPDF files because of the need to have proper preview of these files in browsers. Any ideas or workarounds how to have preview pdf's or jpg's of the single paged 3D PDF files, keeping relevant file names?

I suspected as much. I was hopeful it was something like a setting that needed to be changed or a reg hack that needed a bit changed from 0 to 1 to make the printing work as expected. I only installed the local printer to see if the RDP session

Print to Adobe pdf does not give option for .pdf file

I recently installed Acrobat X Pro. I have a 10-page pdf document open in Acrobat. I want to eliminate the first page and save the other 9 in another file. In previous versions, I would select Print and then select the printer "Adobe PDF". When I do this now, the Save As File Type gives me only one choice - All Files *.* - which is useless. If I am in any other application the Save As File Type comes up .pdf. I don't think it is the installation, because I installed this on my desktop and laptop and it is doing the same thing in both of them. The operating system for both computers is Windows 7 64-bit. What can I do to fix this? Is it just a matter of changing a setting that I am not aware of? Thank you in advance to anyone who will help.

For Acrobat X I went to Tools - Pages - and the delete choice was grayed out. I thought I could get the same result by using the Print to Adobe PDF command. From any other application I can print to Adobe PDF, just not in Acrobat. Does Acrobat X not let you do this, or is it just on mine? And if it is only on mine, what do I do to fix it? By the way, I am able to delete pages from other documents, just not the particular document I am currently working with.
Any other suggestions anyone?
