Printing to PDF opens the File

I recently upgraded to Adobe X.  Every time I print a file (from Excel, Outlook, Word, etc.) to PDF, Adobe opens the new file.
I'd prefer it just save the file as generally I don't need it open and am spending a lot of time waiting for it to open just to close it again.
I've been through the preferences, but don't see an option to turn this off - does anyone know how?

Start>Settings>Printers, right click on the Adobe PDF printer, and select Printing Preferences. Under the PDF settings tab should be a button for viewing the PDF, just uncheck it.

  • Adobe crashes on printing - unless I open the file and wait for 10 seconds

    We are having printing issues with Adobe Acrobat X or Xi Standard and or Professional on client PCs running Windows 7 32 Bit OS.
    If we open a PDF file and request a printed copy Adobe crashes. If we open the documnet and wait 10 seconds before printing the document it prints perfectly well and Adobe does not crash.
    What is causing this problem?  I haved tried to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Pro but this does not fix the problem.
    I've tried changing the printer type to direct IP printing but this has not helped.

  • Print Attachments Without Opening the File (Right-Click)

    Hello:
    When I right click on any icon attachment to print, I do not see the "print ..." options on the menu.  All I see is "print".  If I select my local printer as default to print,
    I don't have any problems printing, but if I set my network printer as a default, nothing happens.  Nothing appears in the print que as being sent.  The reason I prefer to use the right click method is that I receive many email attachments
    that needs to be printed and opening every attachment is cumbersome.
    Thank you for your help!

    Hi,
    Thank you for your question.
    Which version of Office are you using? I got "Print" too on the menu instead of "Print..." when I right click an attachment icon in the body of an Outlook message. I've checked
    this on Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013, the same display, thus I think, this is the expected behavior.
    Regarding the print issue, does this only happen when you print an attachment from an email message? What if you print an email message or print an Office document directly from the Office applications?
    Please provide more details, so that it will be easy for us to narrow down the issue. As an initial troubleshooting step, you can try to delete that network printer from Control Panel, add it again, then verify result.

  • How can I prevent Firefox from opening the file I create when I print a page with PDF Create! 5

    After I print a web page using PDF Create! 5, Firefox opens the file so i can view it. Before I print, I select print properties and disable "view resulting pdf". However, the file is always opened in Adobe Acrobat, although I believe I have Adobe Reader set as default. I do not want any file to open. This happens on my non-privileged accounts. On my privileged account, the file is not opened. I have removed Firefox profiles, re-installed Firefox, Reset Firefox in Help-Troubleshooting. PDF Create!5 print screen can only be viewed in a host program such as Firefox, Libre-office Writer, or any other program that prints. They do not open the file either.

    Thanks for your help. This is the Scansoft (Nuance) program. What I do not understand is why when I tell the print driver not to open the file with a privileged account, it obeys me. I am not sure where in the registry I would look for the information. I do not want to, but perhaps I should remove the Adobe Acrobat program (temporarily?) - then what would it do? Again, when I print from other programs - browsers, wordprocessors, etc - the file is not opened after printing, just with FireFox. I guess I can live with it, I have spent too much time already.

    downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

    Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here.  You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network.  That's bad.  Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network.  So stop doing it.
    As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information.  There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot.  Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.

  • Print without opening the file (using two Adobe versions)

    I used this a lot but recently it's not working.  Right click on the file, hit Print from the drop down and the file magiclly prints. (this magic saves a lot of time)
    Now, when I right click and hit print I get a "Open With" dialog box, forcing me to open the file and then print.
    I have Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Pro and also Adobe Reader 9.1 installed.  I have reader because many websites require 8.0 or higher for pdf browser viewing.  I am guessing the problem is somewhere in the file type association but don't know how to fix it.
    It used to work for me but after some update it's not workinig no more
    Thanks for your help!!!

    If you have a postscript printer or rip which has the ability to create hot folders to link to the printer queues you could simply drag-n-drop and PDL (page description language) file like PDF, PS, EPS to that hot folder to initiate printing. Again, very dependent on your printer/rip device.

    I am using Adobe reader XI. When i open PDF it gives "OUT of memory" error after scrolling PDF gives another alert "Insufficient data for an image". after clicking both alerts it loads full data of PDF. It is not happening with all PDFs. couple of PDFs are facing this issue. Because of this error my software is not able to print these PDFS into TIFF. My OS in window7*64. I tried it on win2012R2 and XP. Same issue is generating there.
    It has become critical issue for my production.

  • Help please I can not openening because: Error opening the document,  Acrobat can not open the file while printing another document

    Help, I ca not opening the file, beacause the mac says Error opening the document, Acrobat can not open the while printing another document

    Thank you very much for your replies Taggert_77 & swmtgoet_x :D
    Taggert77_: I have never used NetBeans. I only installed it in the bundle as I had read on another post that somehow installing the bundle magically helped another user with the same problem (he didn't know why it worked after that either).
    Before XP SP3 I was able to execute .jar file through cmd prompt. Now I am not.
    This file is executable, grab it and you will see. Here is a screen shot (program in front is FlashFXP, behind is the cmd prompt and what should happen):http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/53273b4ddf.jpg
    swmtgoetx_: I only did the other cmd's to try to make it spit out something, anything lol :D
    The proper cmd is simply: java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
    I did give your cmd a try, and it produced nothing :( (just like the other correct cmds)
    java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties
    Thank you again...the mystery remains
    PS. If you do a search for this you'll find an amazing amount of XP SP3 users with the same problem and no solution posted that I could find except one chap that did the unistall install order that I did above).

  • Every time I click a TXT or PDF file it opens the file and STILL opens the "Open" dialog box

    I have several TXT files I have that track some info for me.  Used to be, like in any OS, I could just double click it and viola, there it is in the text editor.  Ever since Mountain Lion, I open it and it opens fine, then on TOP of that I get ANOTHER open dialog box from text edit with the finder window to let me pick a text file to open.
    I ALREADY opened the file I want so i certainly don't need another unasked for dialog box to open every time.  Same thing with PDF's.  Apparently just about everything that opens with preview or text edit does this.
    I must be missing something since this clearly shouldn't be default behavior.  Anyone have something somewhere I've missed that will stop text edit or preview from prompting me for a file location to open when I've already opened the file I wanted in the first place?
    Thanks for any insight.
    John

    Anyone else hitting it, I finally tracked it to icloud.  Even though I was not using it for anything other than my IOS device backups, somehow it got flagged for "documents" as well.  Killed that and finally preview works as it should without bringing up unwanted open dialog boxes every time I open something.

    Are you using Adobe Reader or Preview to view the file? Can you get the sender to resend the file?

  • Has anyone run into the problem of downloading or opening an E.pdf file? I am running on 10.6.8 and am unable to open the file. Any suggestions?

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow......

    I have an email with an attachment that requires a password the open.  I can open the file but embedded in the attachment is another attachment.  When I double click attachment I get the following error message.  Acrobat cannot open the file attachment because your PDF file attachment settings do not allow this file type to be opened.

    You would need to make a change to your registry; see http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AppSec/attachments.html
    Basically you would need to add the .pdf with the permission 2.
    Let us know if you need help with that.  Either way, make sure to create a System Restore Point before editing the registry.
