Problem with Acrobat XI license when printing to PDF, despite having CC

Hi
I have a Creative Cloud membership and all programs seem to work correctly, including Acrobat XI Pro.
There is a strange problem though - when I try to print something from Microsoft Word 2013 and chose "Adobe PDF" as the printer (which creates a PDF from the document) an Acrobat window opens, titled "Acrobat XI-Pro Testversion", stating that the testversion has expired and asking to license the product. If i click on the "license this software" button, another screen shows up that states it wants to login with my Adobe-ID (showing my correct adobe ID e-mail address). Clicking on 'login' however leads to a third screen that just has 6 blank boxes and the request to enter a serial number (but since I have CC, I don't have a serial number for acrobat XI Pro).
I already uninstalled Acrobat XI-Pro and reinstalled it (through CC) but the problem persists.
Anyone got an idea what is causing this?

Hi,
I have the exact same problem. I have noticed that the screen asking for the serial number is on my OS language (Danish). If I deactivate photoshop and activate again the same screen is in English and allows me to login and register the license with no problems. Only when printing with the Adobe PDF printer I get the problem!!
Anyone?

Problem with dashed line spacing when printing to pdf

Hi all,
this may be a problem with my pdf program (I use bluebeam), but maybe someone will have an idea how to fix it whether in indesign or bluebeam.
so I made a dashed line using the stroke command in indesign. I need to have the spacing set to 3pt dash and 2pt space. I also need to keep the lineweight to 0.5...this all works fine and appears correctly in indesign when I preview
the problem is that some of the dashed lines, but not all of them, change size and spacing in the pdf when I view it. it seems to change when I zoom in and out as well. I thought maybe this was just some odd feature with bluebeam and it would still print to the correct size, but it does not, it prints the lines as different sizes. does anyone have an idea why this happens and how to fix? ive viewed and printed from adobe reader and it seems to be okay there but this file will be accessed by multiple other people and they may not be opening and printing in adobe reader..
thanks guys

When you export a PDF you will notice that you are exporting to Adobe PDF. Using any reader beyond Acrobat Pro or Reader is a crapshoot.
For issues with Bluebeam I suggest you contact the developer.

OS X 10.8 Problems with images and layout when printing to PDF from any web browser

Hi there, I just bought a new macbook air and running OS X 10.8. This problem happens in both Safari or Chrome: When I go to print to a PDF file, the website suddenly drops most images and formatting, ending up in a very old-fashioned layout. Is this something new with OS X 10.8, or any other suggestions as to what I can do?

No difference. I have discovered that it is probably the websit (weird) that is mainly at fault, as I tried the same thing on 2 other machines and the same thing happens to a varying degree on this website, and a lesser degree on other sites. Thanks for your help, it may not be OS X 10.8 at the root of the problem.
Yes if it prints to a printer in the same manner, and it occurs regardless of browser it is the website.

Problem with custom book size and print to PDF

I'm trying to create a 20 page 8x8 book which consists of 10 16x10 spreads. In other words, page 1 and page 20 are not start on the right and left respectively, there are exactly 10 16x10 spreads. This is a requirement for KISS wedding books. I am running into two problems:
1. The album designer seems to be forcing me to have the first page consist of a single 8x8 page, even though the last page can consist of a 2 page spread.
2. When I do print to PDF, I get 20 8x8 pages. If I change the paper size to 16x8, each 16x8 spread is followed by a single 8x8 repeat of the right side of the previous 16x8 spread. I could live with the 20 8x8 pages if there was an easy way to recombine these as 10 16x8 pages.

PS: Since my edit timed out, I was going to add speculation of a way in
ColorSync to enable or make Filters which could be used to save settings,
at least for color and printer matching schemes, this is supported in PDFs.
Not sure where I could take up where I left off to write a PS to my own post;
since I had a few links to documents I found by doing some research reading.
These may be related, but perhaps not directly enough to be of help.
• ColorSync - Wikipedia (note info on settings, filters, printing pdfs)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColorSync
• ColorSync on Mac OS X: TN 2035 (technical note detail)
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn/tn2035.html
{And if you have Acrobat, the retail application, you likely have
several other printing options unavailable to a reader app; in
that PDF print settings may be encoded into a document.}
In any event, I'm on my way out to talk to that neighbor's dog...
(The one I mentioned in my timed-out post that had been
barking up the wrong tree, while I was concentrating.)
Good luck & happy computing!

Acrobate IX freezes when printing/creating pdf in Firefox - same settings as in IX

Hi Guys,
Had the product for a week and it is not working... Usual stuff, a new PC take weeks to bed down.
When I try to print/create pdf from something in Firefox, both Acrobate IX and Firefox freeze. I have the old PC with Firefox and Acrobate IX, same default setting and it works everytime. XI freezes. Close Firefox and Acrobate and then re-open and it may print. If it does the next time I try it freezes.
Can anyone help?? not sure how this works... but my email is [email protected]
This place was so hard to find... is there a way to tag this question when an answer comes?? Possibly a Moderator could make it so??

Hi,
Could you please let me know the version of both Adobe Acrobat & Firefox installed on your machine?

Problem with page breaks in IE when printing to PDF

Hey,
I am having formatting issues with IE when printing to pdf, I have a dynamically created report which has page breaks at the end of each page, if I open this report(report is in html) in firefox and goto print the formatting is correct, if I open the same report in IE and print the report 80% of the pagebreaks are in tact, 20% are ignored which just makes the report look rubbish, my question is,( I know it not directly related to the reader but was unsure on which forum to post) is there a different css or formatting I should use to make IE play ball.
Cheers
Tom.
the style I use to insert pagebreak is
<code>
.breakhere {page-break-before: always;}
code I then use to implement it is.
<TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH=100% CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 CLASS="breakhere">
</code>

You may use a forum for IE.

Problem with embedded font on offset printing

Hello,
I generated a leaflet with InDesign CS5. I exported it as PDF/x-3:2002. In the document, I used quote signs (American Typewriter Light font). When I export the PDF, everything goes well, and when I check in Acrobat, the font seems correctly embedded. However, when I picked up the leaflets at the printing house today (it's an offset printing), all the quotation marks were not printed (squares instead). Where does the problem come from?? Did the printing people did a mistake and what mistake? Or is it me?
Thanks for your help!!

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to respond to this thread up until now, but having reviewed this full thread, I have a few comments to offer:
It is irrelevant whether the original text was copied and pasted or whether the font was Type 1, TrueType, a TrueType collection, OpenType CFF, etc. The real issue is whether the PDF/X-3:2002 file exported from InDesign is indeed valid. This can very easily be verified by running the appropriate preflight profile for PDF/X-3:2002 in Acrobat Pro 10 or 11. There is no need for any third party plug-ins or any other software for this.
Assuming that preflight pronounces the file to be 100% kosher with no exceptions and that the file displays properly in Acrobat Pro, you should then try printing the file (or even just the pages that exhibited the problem) from Acrobat Pro to a printer that supports Adobe PostScript 3.
If the printed output from the PostScript printer is correct as well, the problem lies totally with your print service provider and their workflow.
In our extensive experience, problems can occur in any number of ways. One of most frequent sources of problems are printers who routinely open PDF files in Adobe Illustrator to view and “fix” them, somehow thinking that Adobe Illustrator is a general purpose PDF editor. For the record, Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, repeat yet again not a general purpose PDF file editor. Adobe Illustrator can only successfully edit PDF files saved from Adobe Illustrator itself when the “save editability” option is specified. Even then, Illustrator requires you to have all fonts referenced by the PDF file actually installed on your system; it does not use any fonts embedded in the PDF file. For other PDF files (such as those produced by Distiller, export from InDesign, etc.), character substitutions (especially for non-ASCII characters such as typographical quotes), font substitutions, color space changes, etc. are common issues.
If the printer is not abusing Illustrator on your InDesign-exported files, it could be any number of third party products that many printers use, some of which are of dubious value and some of which may be either defective in terms of compliance with the PDF specification or simply grossly out-of-date. (It is amazing how many print service providers put their customers' submitted PDF files through all sorts of “fixup” processes, regardless of whether the files need such fixups or not. Many of these “fixups” are more likely to cause problems than they are to fix anything!)
Under no conditions should you need to fully embed fonts in your PDF files. Certainly no Adobe software, including applications, Acrobat, and our PostScript and PDF RIP technologies licensed to OEMs is any way sensitive to whether fonts are subsetted or not! If a third party workflow component is so-sensitive, it is by definitiion defective.
In terms of imposition, there should likewise be no sensitivity to whether fonts are subsetted or not. By the way, the most reliable imposition is actually done at the RIP itself, not by programs that either place PDF files into other documents and regenerate PDF or by utilities that rearrange PDF files or create new PDF files representing the printed flats.
This thread also discussed the issue of whether the OP received a “proof.” Unless you receive a hard copy proof in which the content was put through the exact same workflow as the final product, including RIP and all prepress steps, it is very possible that the defect noted would not show up on the proof. Nonetheless, obtaining a hard copy proof is an excellent idea, especially if the issue comes up about liability for the cost of reprinting the job or even whether the original job should be paid for if the print service provider can't “fix” their workflow problems!

Acrobat Pro 9.51 Hangs When Printing to PDF from WordPerfect.

Seems Adobe Acrobat 9.51 is hanging when attempting to do a conversion to PDF by printing to PDF from WordPerfect (using X3/X5). Problem is it also hangs the rest of the PC. Have to attempt to kill the process (though it is so slow I end up having to restart the PC). Anybody have any thoughts on this. Attempted to do a repair (no help), removed the program and reinstalled (also no help). Thought maybe another process was killing this but turned off all startup items. Maybe I missed some uninstall items I need to manually remove? Any help would be appreciated.

Knowing the OS would be helpful as it may be a factor.
If the OS is Windows 7 Acrobat 9.x will not provide full functionality.
Regardless, WP file format(s) are not compatible / supported by Acrobat PDFMaker.
Corel uses its own publish to PDF process rather than anything Adobe.
With Acrobat installed you can print to the Adobe PDF virtual printer.
If you are not doing a File - Print and selecting the Adobe PDF printer then you are using a WP rather than an Adobe process provided by Acrobat.
Be well...

Problem with call connect license

Hi to all,
recently we purchased some call connect cisco software licenses. We first install those licenses without any problems. Weeks ago the customer bought some new nokia phone and we had to free old licenses to enter them in the new phones.
We entered it 7 licenses with no problems. the probme is with the eight one. Seems to be occupied so i cannot register the software. We have problem with just one license key.
I need to contact with somebody that can help me fron the nokia support team.
I got a copy of this license right here, so the only thing i jus need is to free this key.
Thank you so much
Bye

Hi Juan, thanks for your reply.
This software is my personal software, so my main machine is my home machine, I use the software at work as a convenience to myself since the most my company has ever bought is Acrobat Professional, even though I find myself tasked with website work, graphics etc.
I purchase all of my software and it is never used by anyone other than myself so that's not a concern - again my complaint was based on a wish to be able to manage my licenses from my Adobe account.
I don't quite understand how a feature like this would be a problem from "some countries" especially when my Adobe account already has "identifying" information about my previous registrations and contact info? Not to mention the majority of the world is internet connected?
You're saying it's easier to call Adobe 7:30pm (from "some country") on a Sunday nite (when a client is scheduled to come and review some work - which most likely means that there WON'T be any answer to the call to Adobe when you need it the most) compared to just accessing my Adobe account over the internet and turning off a license?
I don't understand that one?...
Yes, I plan on calling Adobe as I quoted since this seems to be the only answer to exactly WHY I was here searching last nite.
Again I appreciate your reply and I do HOPE that Adobe would take my suggestion into consideration.
Anytime a legit customer is prevented from using his own software is not a good look and obviously it creates not only problems such as I outlined but fosters ill will towards legitimate software licensing in general.

Bad crash when printing to pdf in Morningstar software - is it a 64 bit problem?

Had bad crash when printing to pdf in Morningstar Principia Pro software - is it a 64 bit compatability problem? All other software I have can print
to Acrobat pdf, but in Morningstar the Window 7 PC freezes and not even Task manager can
unfreeze the computer. Acrobat worked fine in my old XP 32 bit PC when printing from Morningstar. Recently a webinar using
an Adobe webinar software I was told I must only use a 32 bit browser, so I suspect Acrobat is incompaitble with my new 64 bit PC. Work around solution is to print to Microsoft XPS and then convert to Acrobat but I want to use Acrobat only! Is there a patch for people using 64 bit PCs?
Can someone at Adobe respond to me, please? I have used Acrobat for over 10 years and am very loyal.

Michael: I have tested other programs ability to print to Acrobat and also tested ability for other programs to
export to Excel or Word. The only crash is when printing an Acrobat pdf from Morningstar Principia Pro I get a bad crash. The work around is to print to XPS and then convert the XPS file to Acrobat pdf. To get out of the crash which can't be fixed by Windows Task Manager shut down, is to open the printer file and tell the printer to delete the pending print job.
I'm using latest Version 9.3.4 Standard Acrobat; Win 7 Pro 64 bit, 10 g of RAM, HPE 390t standalone PC, no networking.

When printing to PDF Acrobat locks up at spooling

Running Windows XP and Office 2007 and Arcobat 8 (with most recent web updated)
When printing to PDF from any program (Word, Excel, Quickbooks, even Acrobat), the creating PDF window locks up and the print job gets stuck at the spooling status. No errors are displayed, I'm unable to cancel anything. Seemed to start happening after downloading the latest updates.
Have tried to repair installation 3 times, reinstalled program 2 times, with no sucess. Have run this version for over three months with no issues beforehand.
Help!!!!

AcroTray is running in background.
Thanks, will try that. Just have to work out Word settings so the conversion is seamless. Word tends to drop images and such when I do that.
In the interim, I've downloaded the CutePDF driver and all seems to be working. Ultimately the issue seems to lie with the PDF driver provided by Acrobat, but no matter how many times I reinstall the driver I still get the same problem.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
Can anyone help?

Hi Edna,
It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X. Choose Edit > Preferences > General. Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu. Click Apply, then OK.
Restart your computer. Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

Problem with Acrobat 11 keeps asking to accept EULA

I cannot use Reader because it keeps on asking to accept EULA; Mac OS 10.9, Reader 11 , when downloading it says " by clicking on Install you automatically accept EULA " : I've installed and uninstalled it many times, when I launch it it does not allow me to accept any EULA I'm getting desperate please help

I meant that there isn’t any box where I can accept the terms etc. - when I ‘ve downloaded it said “ by clicking on Install you agree to accept the terms and conditions “
Anyway now I’ve cancelled some plug-ins from the library and it seems it works
If you have a better suggestion kindly let me know
Thank you for your prompt reply

Easier and better ways to solve current problems with Acrobat?

Is there no better and easier way to solve the problems (installation, re-installing and crashing) with Acrobat? I really think that the ball is in Acrobat's corner right now, because I should not (for example) need to deactivate and re-activate my subscription in order to get AcrobatPro XI to work on my computer, let alone deinstalling an older version that (for now) does work, risking that in the end neither of them work. I need the (great) AdobeCloud applications to do my work as a freelancer, and I really cannot afford this kind of trouble with my applications, nore loose time repairing them. These are difficult times as it is.
Regards,
Marc

Sorry, I can't. When I installed it there was no message that said I had to deinstall the old version first, and with other Adobe CC applications there had been no trouble at all, so I installed it with The previous version still on my computer.
After installing, neither of them would start up properly, so I deinstalled version XI, after which the old version worked again, but my Adobe Application Manager does not let me download the XI version a second time, so I cannot try again.
Regards,
Marc

The description of the issue you originally presented isn't something that I've seen happen to Acrobat when installed as a part of Creative Cloud.
Could you provide a specific description of the behavior that occurs when you launch Acrobat XI now?
Thanks,

PHDS - problem with the content license

Hi, I have just enabled the basic phds settings in my httpd.conf (ie not the PHDSCommonKeyFile / PHDSPlaybackExpiration / PHDSOutputProtection / PHDSVideoEncryptionLevel) settings:
<IfModule jithttp_module>
<Location /hds-vod>
    HttpStreamingJITPEnabled true
    JitFmsDirPath ".."
    HttpStreamingContentPath "/full/location/to/content"
    HttpStreamingJITConfAllowed false
    EncryptionScope server
    ProtectionScheme phds
    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Location>
</IfModule>
And whilst when hitting the video_bitrate.mp4.f4m file i get the expected xml back with the drmAdditionalHeader element, when I view it in the adobe multibitrate hds player i get the error "There was a problem with the content license., plesae contact your video service provider" - has anyone seen this before?
Thanks

Hi, the "adobe multibitrate hds player" is the one you see on the http://server:8134 home page.
I installed 4.5.3 from scratch and left all the defaults with the exception of EncryptionScope server & ProtectionScheme phds - the http error log showed the below when visiting http://server:8134 - [Mon Oct 01 08:34:18 2012] [debug] mod_headers.c(756): headers: ap_headers_output_filter()
The player does say in the bottom right "This video content is DRM protected" and the crossdomain.xml exists and looks like:
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*"/><site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
