Problem printing to Acrobat 5.0 Distiller from CS3

I am unable to print to Distiller all of the sudden from my Illustrator CS3. When I hit print is says that it is unable to print to disitiller and there is an error and to click to troubleshoot. I did that and it was not helpful. I also tried to print to distiller from Word and same issue.
I can open all of the Adobe products so not sure why it won't print to them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please repost in the Acrobat forum. Please give OS information and the exact version number of Acrobat 5. In the meantime you can try to delete the printer instance, then repair the installation of Acrobat by using the menu item under the Help menu.

Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email. Why?!

Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email. Why?!

For what it's worth, I can report exactly the same problem. I just recently converted from Outlook for Mac 2011 to Mail. I did the conversion while running Yosemite. I like pretty much everything about Mail EXCEPT that it take 2 pages to print a 1 page email!! The header appears on the top of p.1, followed by a blank space. The message begins at the top of p.2.
If you scale it down, you can get the message to begin to appear on the bottom of p.1, but clearly, Mail is inserting BIG SPACE between the header and the message. Changing the display fonts for Mail had no apparent effect (except that the font DID change, of course)....still a BIG SPACE between the header and the message.
Coming to Mail for the first time, I would have assumed that this was just a quirk of Mail, but am I understanding that some of you Mail users out there USED TO NOT have this problem?? I think it's pretty clear that it's Mail that's causing the problem, not the message, because I went over to my old Outlook and printed the same couple of messages with no such space between the header and the message. So Mail is inserting a space into the print formatted email message that is NOT there in Outlook's print formatted same message.
Be really nice to get rid of this problem, but my Apple Care free support has expired. Not sure I want to pay for something that's generic to Mail!! Anyone else made any progress on this?

Install Acrobat 8 by itself from CS3 Web Premium

I have CS5 Production Premium installed and I want to install Acrobat 8 from my CS3 Web Premium. I get the error "Acrobat cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component before launching Acrobat 8".
I searched and found this-
Could you please try the following:
1. Quit any Adobe applications that are open.
2. In the Finder, navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe.
Note: This folder path refers to the Library folder at the root level of the startup disk, not the Library folder that is inside a user's Home folder.
3. Move the following folders to your Documents folder or another safe location:
Acrobat
Adobe PCD
Adobe PDF
Important: Do not delete these folders.
4. Open Acrobat 8 Professional.
5. Enter your serial number when prompted.
I followed these instructions, it prompted me for a serial number, but my CS3 Web Premium serial number is not working.
Any luck with this elsewhere?

To use the Acrobat from CS3 you need to install at least one of the standard applications so that it can activate the suite. Since you have already installed CS5 you cannot install CS3. While I don't know why you won't go with the Acrobat 9 in CS5 you need to follow the following steps to get going.
1) Deactivate CS5
2) uninstall CS5
3) install CS3 (you can just install something like Acrobat 8 and Photoshop CS 3 you need not install everything).
4) Open and Activate Photoshop CS 3
5) Open Acrobat 8, just to make sure everything is hunky dory.
6) Uninstall Photoshop CS 3 if you insist.
7) Install CS 5 (make sure you do not install Acrobat 9, since Adobe no longer recommends two different versions of Acrobat on the same Macintosh computer).
8) Open a CS 5 application like Flash CS 5
9) Activate Flash CS 5.
All should be well until you want to deactivate and uninstall Acrobat 8.

Problems printing to Acrobat

Hi there,
I used to be able to print from InDesign CS4 to Acrobat PDF, but I'm not longer able to do this (I think since installing Leopard Snow). In any case, I can export to PDF, but then the colours are converted to RGB, which, obviously is no good for printing.
Is there something I'm missing? Is there a way I can add acrobat pdf to my printers so I can print there directly and have high quality pdf documents?
I appreciate any help!
Thanks,
N.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply and sorry for being so vague.
Well, this is my issues.
I don't seem to be able to print to Adobe Acrobat. Before I upgraded to Snow Leopard I could do: Command + P and it would open the print window. Now, among my printers, the Acrobat PDF printer was in there, but now, since I have installed Snow Leopard, it's not there anymore.
I am able to export my inDesign files through Command + E, but when I do so, I'm not able to change the settings for CMYK, so if I need to print my PDF, it only keeps the RGB values. You mentioned I can change that, but I have looked everywhere and can't find it.
I'm running CS4 and I just don't know how to get my Acrobat PDF printer back, that was what I was using. If there's a way of doing it with the export, I'm more than happy to do that. Like I said, I just don't seem to find where to change the values so that my PDF stays with CMYK and not RGB.
I don't know if that explains better my problem. If not, please let me know so I can get this issue resolved.
Thanks,
N.

Problem printing fra Acrobat 8 and Indesign CS3

Hi Forum
My setup is a Powermac G5 with 10.5.8 and a Epson 1400 and a Epson c8500. I have checked, that I'm using the latest drivers from Epson.
My problem is then I print A4 PDF documents to these two printers, the prints will be cropped, it actually seem like the top and bottom margins of the printable area are wrong. Scaling is set to none and I have also tried printing as an image.
I have tried using Acrobat 8, Adobe Reader 9 and Indesign CS3, also behave the same.
If I use Preview, my prints will look just fine.
I tried the same from a Macbook pro with 10.5.8 and Acrobat 8 and 9, and from this computer things work correctly.
So it's seems to be a problem with an Adobe related file or setting.
anybody seen this before?
kind regards
Lars

Our office is printing fine from ID & PS CS3. This is from Intel & PPC Mac's running 10.4.9.
What is your printer and how is it configured for printing, ie USB or IP.
Also, have a look at the cups error log. You can find this via System Profiler > Software > Logs. This will show which process is failing for the spooled job. You can post it back here for more help.

Problem printing to a PC based HP from MAC OSX 10.3.9 w/ router

I have the following Belkin Router; F5D7230-4. The router is hardwired to the PC and has a F380 (F300 series) HP printer USB hardwired. I also have a iMAC G5 OS x 10.3.9 which is online, connected to the router via a ethernet cable. I have no wireless airport card installed on MAC
I want to be able to print to the HP printer from the MAC but i am having problems, it will not print. I have the relevant drivers installed on the PC - printing from PC is fine. On the MAC i am using the relevant hpijs.pdd file downloaded from the web to act as the driver. (At least i think this is the relevant .pdd file / driver?)
When i try to print from the MAC, the PC DOES recognise the MAC as a guest and the printer loads up ready to print, but then the job freezes and does not complete. Even if i try to cancel the job is still freezes, so i have to turn off the printer to clear the status.
My guess is that the drivers on the MAC are not installed correctly? But its strange that the printer actually boots up ready to print, then freezes. Can anyone assist?
Much appreciated for looking
Ben
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I think I understand that you have the printer somehow connected to the router? However, I thought the printer was a USB device. What happens you connect the printer to a PC USB port and turn on printer sharing?
As best I could determine at Belkin's web site is that your router doesn't even have a USB port. Exactly how is the printer connected to the router?
What happens if the printer is connected to the Mac's USB port directly? Does it work then?
Here are some articles that may help:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301768
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301397
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/index.html
http://www.macwindows.com/
The physical setup should be:
1. Cable or DSL service line connects to IN port on the modem.
2. The modem's WAN port is connected via Ethernet (CAT5) cable to the WAN port on the router.
3. Each Ethernet device (each computer) is connected to the router's LAN ports by Ethernet cable.
The router should be configured to have its DHCP server activated (this is usually the default configuration.) Each computer should have its network preferences configured to use DHCP.
Most routers issue IP addresses in the 192.168.xxx.xxx range. If you have a valid connection between the computer and router then the computer's IP address will be in this range. If the IP address begins with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx, then it's an invalid address and means the computer is not connecting properly to the router. The router should get its IP address from your ISP service.
After all the hardware connections have been setup you should configure the computers' network preferences then turn everything off for at least one minute. Then in sequence first turn on the modem and wait until the status lights indicate a connection to the ISP; next turn on the router and wait until its status light indicates communication with the modem; last turn on the computers.

Problem printing using 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' CS3

I have just upgraded my work Mac (G5 Dual 2ghz PowerPC running OSX 10.5.4 and 6gb Ram) to CS3. Brilliant, except when I came to print out a presentation for a client, it keeps crashing illustrator. It always happens when I try and print to my Epson Stylus Photo 2100 using 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings. We have previously be using 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings (as this gets a pretty true colour representation out of our CMYK printer). All the other settings work fine, but lacks the rich colour of the emulated setting. I don't seem to be able to get even close by adjusting the setting in the colour settings panel.
Does anyone know of a way round this, or of a patch to fix this? I have been checking out the internet, but cant find the Illustrator settings from version 6 (i'm sure it was very basic - but my boss wont except anything but those settings).
I have tried printing with 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings to our Lexmark laser printer C522 (basic colour results) but it was able to print. Not sure why it should work on one printer but not another?
The printer we are using is a Epson Stylus Photo 2100, with the latest driver 3.09.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I wonder if it is a conflict with the system settings or Adobe Bridge settings somewhere. I used to use "Emulate Illustrator 6...", but always had a RIP interpret the information. I can't think of any reason why Illustrator would crash. I'd send Adobe Tech Support a note about it, maybe they can figure out what's going on. By the way, I sometimes switch my settings to "Emulate Illus 6..." and, like you, have had no problems ( but, I'm still in v10 via 10.3.9 ).

Problems printing PDF's using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

During the last two weeks, I have been unable to print a PDF from my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. They appear okay on the screen, but print as gibberish.
After consulting the forums, one workaround suggested was to print as image. Tried it, also prints gibberish.
Another suggestion to update my printer software, did it. Still prints as gibberish. My priner is an Epston Stylus Photo R220.
I'm a writer, not a software technician. I am not using a bootleg copy of the program, but an educational version, so Adobe won't offer me any advice over the phone without payment.
Anything else I could try before paying?

I have same problem as described above, but not always. Seems to depend on the web page I am trying to print to Adobe. One consistent culprit is Bank of America. Looks okay until I print to Adobe Acrobat 9 or 10. Then it's gibberish. i had to copy to Word and then print Word to Acrobat or printer.
. Various computers,
. same problem with either Acrobat 9 or 10.
. Not a problem printing to Acrobat from a Word or Excel or Outlook document
. Only from certain websites and not the entire page, only the OCR part. The objects: logos, pictures are okay, only text is messed up.
Definitely would like Adobe to fix this.

Printing Problems wtih Adobe Acrobat X Pro

I am having problems printing Adobe Acrobat X Pro forms. When I try to print, information entered into text fields will not print.

Since it just appeared to happen with the latest update of Acrobat 10.1.2, can you check to see if it's related to any of these known issues?

Printing from CS3 after export from LR2 (Mac OS X) blurry / undersaturated

Hi all,
New to the forum and it might be with a question which already has been answered but I really could not find it, so here's my try.
Recently bought a Canon 50D and Pixma 4600 and started shooting pics (RAW) of my newborn kid. After importing and basic processing (WB, exposure, noise) in LR I exported pics to CS3 in various ways (TIFF 16 bit, DNG, Original file, different DPI, up to 500 etc.) and did some detail work over there.
After printing from CS3 all pictures look slightly blurry, undersaturated and underlit. Did a lot of trying on all settings (IP4600 profile from CS3, saturated, relative. etc. etc.) and when finally comparing identical pics printed from LR and CS3, the detail and overall quality of the LR pics is much better.
Any help would be greatly welcome as I cannot imagine being the first one with this problem and because I am convinced that it should be possible to print very accurate and brilliant images from CS3.
Overview of equipment :
Canon 50D
Imac 20", 2.4 GHz 4 Gig memory
Pixma IP4600
LR 2.1
CS3
Thank you all for your help, understanding and kindness,
Michiel

I'm just going to say "wow", because this worked for me. I was ready to chuck the printer out the window since I've tried virtually everything in every other single thread here, and nothing has worked. I had my doubts about d/ling the European driver, but it completely worked.Thank you!!

Bridge won't launch from CS3 - intermittent problem

Hi folks I dont think I am alone in experiencing this problem as a quick google threw up other sufferers but the suggested fix update everything at the Adobe website has not fixed the problem, so I am hoping that someone here can shed some light. Problem 1; Bridge will sometimes not open from CS3 - ie when I click on the icon , or if Bridge is set up to open automatically when CS3 opens, I sometimes get an error message that reads error 2:Photoshop is undefined. Line: 1 ->photoshop10.invoke bridge (false, false, ); When this happens Bridge will still open fine from the start menu, so it is not disastrous but is annoying because the keyboard shortcut <shift ctrl W > won't work either (to close a file in CS3 and bring the Bridge window up on screen) - a similar error message is received when using Shift Ctrl W as when trying to open bridge. Problem 2; the fly out menus will not remain on screen. Eg if I have a layer and want to access the blend mode menu - if I click on the menu in the layer palette the menu appears for a second and then disappears. Problem 3: If I try to create a new action as soon as I click on the "new action" in the actions palette the word "scripts" appears multiple times in the action - it just produces line after line of this until I click the button to stop the action. Problem 4 (may be related to problem 2 ?); in the crop tool - I can't get the cursor to remain in the width and height boxes - so I can't control the dimensions of the crop (which is currently stuck at my last size of 3 x 4 cm - not much use to man nor beast). Most frustratingly of all - these are all intermittent problems. Things I have tried - updating CS3 and bridge from Adobe site, opening CS3 and bridge before any other program, not running any other program at the same time, uninstalling and reinstalling (after disabling all antivirus etc stuff), but so far nothing works. I am using a 1 year old Dell PC, lots of RAM and hard drive available, only working from internal drives, no new hardware or software loaded (although there might have been a windows update - but this occurred after the problems started and has not noticeably changed things). Windows XP pro. Recently done whole system scan for viruses etc and no problems found. Please help, this has been going on since I loaded CS3 a few months ago and it is driving me nuts. Thanks Amanda D'Arcy

Amanda - One consistent recommendation that has fixed a lot of problems, especially if program worked before, and does not now, is to reset preferences. This is not the same as uninstalling and reinstalling, as the preference file is not affected with that operation.
Since it is intermittent problem this will probably not help, but worth a shot.
When it does not work is there some process that is running, like a anti-virus scan, or?
What about startup scripts in Bridge? Disable any you do not need.

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.

Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am having problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD. Printing other PDF created by MS Word works well. Had a similar problem in an earlier version of Pro. The fix I figure out then was to print the PDF file as another PDF. Using the second PDF to print to a plotter typically worked. It does not work for Adoabe Acrobat Pro XI.

Problems with Acrobat 8 and distiller 8 when printing PDF.

Hello,
I got this problem:
I have Acrobat 8 Pro and Distiller 8.
Everytime i want to use Distiller 8 to generate PDF's containing MathType characters, it makes postscripts incomplete.!!..
We have tried updating Acrobat 8 with no results, then we tried installing the previous version (7.0) and we solve the problem.
Obviously this may not be the best solution to my problem, if anyone know what can be wrong, or what can i do.. i'll be really glad to read it.
Thanx in advance.

Acrobat 8 is not certified for Win7, particularly the x64 version. If you got the installation to go, the first step is to update AA8 to at least AA8.2. The x64 with XP required at least AA8.2 and I suspect that has not changed. I would suggest updating to the latest, either from the help menu (until no more updates are available) or by downloading the updates from the adobe.com>downloads page. For the latter, download ALL updates after your current version and install them in ORDER. They are not cummulative in most cases. You only need to reboot after the final update. The updates may get you going. If not, you may simply have to upgrade to AA9 or search for what others have been able to do in your situation.

BS heißt "Bull___****". *lol* "Betriebssystem" heißt imemr noch "operating system". GoLive wirste wohl gar nicht zum laufen kriegen. ohnehin würde man es nicht mehr verwenden, weil es noch nicht mal CSS2 voll unterstützt geschweige denn HTML 5 und andere moderne Webstandards. Wenn überhaupt, dann findeste vielleicht noch 'ne OEM CD von Strato oder 1und1 bei eBay. Die haben das damals mit jedem neuen Hostingvertrag rausgehauen. Aber wie gesagt, es ist den Aufwand nicht wert. Illustrator sollte sich durchaus installieren lassen. Eventuell einfach nochmal die Installer im Win XP Kompatibilitätsmodus laufen lassen...
