Problems printing Microsoft Publisher 2010 into an Adobe PDF

I have been trying unsuccessfully to print something that I made in Microsoft Publisher 2010 into an Adobe PDF. I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Microsoft Publisher 2010. When I first purchased both programs about 9 months ago I was able to print the Publisher. NOw I receive a message when I try and print saying 'Publisher cannot perform that operation'. When I look under Printer Preferences with Adobe PDF in Publisher, the top 3 fields are blank. I have tried to edit but it will not let me. I have gone to my printer section and opened Adobe PDF Printer device and it shows all of the settings as they should be. I am not sure if it is an issue with Adbe PDF or Microdoft Publisher. Any help is greatly appreciated.

First I click Print and I choose Adobe PDF from the drop down menu. Then I click Printer Preferences and under the Adobe PDF Conversion Settings, the top two are Default Settings and Security Settings. They are blank. When I attempt to edit them to add in the settings that I want i.e.- PDF/X-1a:2001 it will not let me do anything and it will not print. I checked the default settings and preferences under Devices and Printers and it has the correct information.

Acrobat 9.5, file corruption when combining .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document

In Acrobat 9, when I combine .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document, there is data corruption. Some of the text appears as blank boxes when the pages are inserted into the larger .pdf, the main document. I have so far solved this by "printing" the files to .pdf, and then inserting them into the larger .pdf main document, but this creates a fatter .pdf file that is much larger than would otherwise be the case. Are there any other solutions within Acrobat 9, please? If this bug has been solved in Acrobat X or XI, please advise. Thanks.

As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

Can I convert a MS Publisher 2010 doc to a PDF

Can I convert a MS Publisher 2010 doc to a PDF?

Yes, the .pub format is one of the supported file types for the Adobe PDF Pack service. This document titled What file formats does Adobe CreatePDF support? list all the supported file types.

After takimg the picture of my document and scanning into the adobe PDF it does not read clearly words are meshed together

after taking a picture of my document and scanning into the adobe PDF
it does not read clearly. words are meshed together

Hi melisaf76024648,
Can you please tell me what process you're using to create the PDF? Are you scanning directly from the scanner into Acrobat? Or, are you scanning the document, and then using Adobe PDF Pack to convert the scanned image to PDF? Or, some other method?
Please walk me through how you're creating the PDF, and we will have a better idea where things went awry.
Best,
Sara

Problems with Microsoft Office 2010

To whom it may concern:
I work in a school and we use Microsoft office 2010 here. Earlier this week (2) computers seemed to develop the same problem.
All of a sudden the entire Microsoft Office Suite seems to be taking a very very long time to open anything. For example trying to open a word document stored locally on the machine seems to take a while.
And, when using Outlook it seems that opening an attachment (word, excel, etc) seems to take forever. When you give a double click to the attachment, this red bar seems to start running across the top of the pane and it takes on average 1 minute to open
the attachment. This did not happen before and I am wondering if a recent update has anything to do with this issue.
Please advise.
Mark

Printing from a DOS application to Adobe PDF Printer

I have been asked to provide reports from a legacy DOS application to PDF and of course decided to use my Adobe PDF Printer that came with the copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard I purchased. I am running Windows XP.
I am able to overcome the obvious problem of mapping LPT1 to the Adobe PDF Printer, however, all the DOS print jobs just sit there in the queue and do nothing. I have tried forcing a form feed within print processor but Adobe keeps overwriting the processor used with standard RAW.
What do I have to do create PDF's from DOS based print jobs?
I apologise if this question has been asked before and I have not managed to find it on searching through.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

This is not going to work. The printing architecture just doesn't do
what you want it to do.
The PDF printer works because a Windows program uses GDI (a
programming interface) to describe what it wants to print in graphical
terms. This gets converted to PDF. What you are hooking into in the
DOS world is just that part of the printer that carries the already
formed printer file to the printer hardware.
There may be hope if your DOS application is capable of printing to a
PostScript printer. If so, you can capture the stream and use
Distiller to convert it directly.

Default file destination in Microsoft Word 2010 Mail Merge to PDF

I'm using windows 2010, and Adobe Acrobat X Standard.
I have a mail merge template that I created in Microsoft Word 2010 that I use to send out multiple price quotes to customers who are bidding jobs. When I merge to Adobe PDF everything works properly (everyone receives their unique PDF, etc.), but every time I do this Adobe requires that I select a destination folder for it to send the PDF's it generates that get attatched to the emails.
When I save a Word Doc as a PDF it automatically saves it in the same folder at the word document it was created from. Is there a way I can set up my 'Merge to Adobe PDF' feature to do the same thing when it generates the merged PDF files? It's just a hastle to map the entire file path of the desination folder every time I send out a quote.
Thanks for your help!

Cannot print from Firefox any version to adobe pdf. Have adobe acrobat plugins 11.0.3.37 and 9.5.5.316

I cannot print any Firefox page to an adobe printer, that is, to create a pdf, even if my computer has an "adobe printer" installed and the adobe plugins are updated.
However, there is no problem if I use the "pdf it!" add-on.
Also if Firefox is already exhibiting a pdf page, the command "print" crashes the browser.
My Firefox is always updated and this problem exists since mid 2012.

HI, guys, thanks for your help, but I will try to be more precise.
1. When I started this thread, I meant that yes I could read pdf's in firefox. I could not print ANY firefox (html) page to my adobe printer. When I command the page to be printed to adobe, I see a small window that shows the pdf being assembled, but it stops in the middle, stays locked, and firefox has to be manually crashed so that I keep working.
If, instead of commanding a print to adobe, I use the pdfit! add-on, it creates a pdf in any directory I choose, without problems. But I think I should not depend on the pdfit! because I've always used the firefox until mid 2012 (I can't remember which release)
2. The same thing happens when Firefox is already exhibiting a pdf and I simply command File-Print. I must crash Firefox in order to keep working.
3. When, upon your suggestion, I disabled both adobe add-ons, then when I click a link to open a pdf, I don't get an open choice, just save or cancel. It's a new ball game, besides not solving the original problem.
4. By the way, the preference pdfjs.disabled in about:config is False.

I want to convert webpages into an Adobe pdf (I have Adobe Acobat 9 installed). Also how do you add to Firefox Menu "Convert pdf"

In Internet Explorer, I am able to install into the menu tool bar - Convert to pdf. Can I do the same with Firefox.
Secondly, when I tried to print to "Adobe pdf", the page does not fully represent the webpage?

See if Adobe has a PDF Toolbar extension for Firefox.
Or, look into a PDF extension for Firefox, such as these extensions. <br />

I`ve noticed that it didn`t came with Microsoft Office Pack so i`ve took one from my other laptop.
When i hit the "setup.exe" it prompts me with the administrator acceptance i click yes, its opens for a second some kind of commander windows and then stops everything...

Try with right-mouse click and selecting "Run as administrator"
One questions though, when you say:

Did you copy the content of the folder from another laptop? Or did you had a copy of the installs CD in it?
Hope this helps!

Printing multiple 'sheets' per page, using adobe pdf printer

I've got a number of PDFs that are scanned books, and they were scanned 2 pages at a time, and then OCRed
What I'd like to be able to do is re'print' the file to a new PDF file (so that the OCRed text remains searchable in the new file), in a5, so that in stead of 2 pages on every a4 'page' i get one 'book page' per 'PDF page'.
While it's fairly easy to tell Acrobat to print to a5, this will result in every left half of the a4 page being printed to the new file, and every right side of the page being discarded.
But if I rotate all pages in the file 180 degrees and print that, the print preview does show the reversed page properly, but once I print the file, it will rotate the pages back before printing them, once again yielding only the left side of every page (probably in a misguided effort to help me)
Why doesn't the printer automatically print the right side on a new a5 sheet, or at least allow me to orient the pages any way i like while printing them?
Does anyone know of a way for me to print these pages properly, or if the acrobat pdf printer is somehow bugged? (and can/will this be fixed?)

Hi Timothy,
Please ask your question on the regular Acrobat User-to-User forum. This forum deals with 3D specific issues, and although you may have Acrobat 3D installed, your question would most likely get a good response on the other forum.

Problem with creating pdf from Microsoft Publisher 2013

We are having problems in creating pdfs from Microsoft Publisher2010- When the function 'Adobe PDF' is selected and 'Print' is clicked on nothing happens. The progress bar just sits there for several minutes without creating a pdf. We have to click on cancel and when this is done this crashes Microsft Publisher.
I have repaired this using the repair facility in Acrobat 9. I have also uninstalled Acrobat 9 and reinstalled this.
I have also uninstalled Adobe Reader XI and reinstalled Adobe Reader 9.
Before uninstalling Acrobat I also ran the updates but this didnt help either.
This is on a Windows 7 PC (64-bit)
Adobe Acroabt 9 Pro Extended
Microsoft Publisher 2010.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

MS Publisher 2010 is not supported by the Acrobat 9 Family; and the PDFMaker extension for Publisher has been removed completely from the Acrobat XI Family, so upgrading won't help either. Sorry!

Print/Create Adobe pdf problems

I have always been able to create a pdf of any page that I was viewing on the web or on Microsoft word. I tried it again today and I am getting an error message. I print the page and select the Adobe pdf as the printer. Normally, it would ask me to rename it and to select the location I would like it saved. I am now getting a message saying "Invalid Adobe pdf printer properties, Do not change spooler settings. Please select Print directly to the printer option from the Advanced window." I never changed my options so I am not sure why this would pop up suddenly. I even try to change the setting like the message said but this ends up doing nothing but giving me an error message by the printer icon on the bottom of my screen. What can I do?

If you get this:
Invalid "Adobe PDF" printer properties
Do not change spooler settings.
Please select "print directly to the printer" option (from Adobe PDF printer properties "advanced" tab)
Try this:
Find the Acrobat printer in Printers.
Right click on it and select Properties then the Advanced Tab.
For me, "Spool print documents..." was selected.
The Fix: Deselect "Enable advanced printing features".
Click OK.
