Saving a PDF crops to artwork and not the artboard

I have read a few posts on the web regarding this issue and was wondering if anybody here has a solution.
Since upgrading to CC, when saving our PDFs they now crop to the boundaries of the artwork and not to the artbord like in previous versions. I work in a PDF enviroment and we have a program that relies heavily on XMP data - one of which is the X and Y co-ordinates of the artwork in relation to the top-left corner of the artboard, however now, when artwork goes outside of the artboard or doesn't fill the artboard, the resulting PDF crops to the artwork thus changing the X and Y co-ordinates of where artwork is positioned on the page.
Is this a bug that is likely to be fixed or has a feature changed that I don't know about.

This is in Illustrator CC Version 17. It is fine when you open them back in Illustrator. I have also noticed that from Illustrator if you do a 'Save As', select PDF, then select one of the PDF presets (I use 'Press Quality) the resulting PDF when opened in Reader displays how I want it, with the artwork as it was positioned on the Illustrator artboard (not cropped). If I then open in Illustrator again, make a change to the artwork, and select 'Save' (not 'Save As') when opened back in Reader the file is cropped again.

Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
/* Click to Go to Web Page
Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
Instructions:
1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
Keep the quotation marks ("").
instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

Reg key to set PDF opening in Reader and not the web browser

Is there a reg key which would apply to all users/computer (not just current user, Hkey_user) to set a variable that would open PDF's in the actual Adobe Reader program and not in a web browser.
I only find references to reg key's that apply to the current users logged in, but unfortunately I work in an education facility and we use Dynamic user id's which creates a new user each time in windows, and then removes the profile on logout
Thanks in advance,

Would you suggest downloading the Adobe Customization Wizard and creating an MST file to distribute the app? If so, do you have documentation on where to change this setting?

Print to PDF - using Snow Leopard (Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose

i have a PDF form that i created that is used as a custom proposal that my company sends out to potential clients. the form in its editable state is only used internally. we recently upgraded to snow leopard, but prior to the upgrade, we were able to fill the custom proposal form out using adobe reader, and, as you well know, we weren't able to save that edited document as a PDF with the custom form fields filled out. our work around using adobe reader was to print to a pdf using the adobe pdf printer in the printer dialog. with the addition of snow leopard, however, instead of choosing the adobe pdf printer, we were to choose PDF from the bottom left corner, then Save As PDF, and it would spit out an uneditable pdf that then allowed us to email it to the potential client without them being able to edit it as well as have an internal, digital copy for our records instead of having lots of paper floating around (i know this is also doable using security that disallows the client certain editing privileges, but printing to a pdf is much quicker and more efficient, and the pdf security isn't really that secure at its best).
in any case, i came across this gem of a post here on the support forums that installs another option from the PDF drop down on the bottom left of the print dialog menu that reads Save As Adobe PDF and is supposed to do exactly what i am trying to get it to do...print to a pdf file from adobe reader.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
once i updated to acrobat 9.2 (as the link above suggests 9.1), however, the Save As Adobe PDF does appear in the print dialog menu, but it still gives me the same error that acrobat 8 - 9 gave me while using Snow Leopard — Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save — and as i've already explained, you can't save an edited pdf form in reader (as i am the only one in the office with acrobat) and still keep the fields as you've entered them in. the only work around is to print to a pdf but is apparently having some recent problems.
using acrobat, however, i know that i can save the editable pdf as a new file with the fields customized as i have left them, but it still saves it as an editable pdf and the print to a pdf option still remains the best option...that way we have digital copies internally that are uneditable that can be printed at any time or emailed to the client.
how can i do print to a pdf, based on what i've written above, using snow leopard and acrobat and reader?

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only sends the original form without text. Once I've changed a doc in Adobe, how can I save it so that I'm able to use it with added text and notes? Also, I'm using a new iPad.

If you are using those apps or websites, they are likely viewing the PDF using iOS' built in PDF previewing, which will not show annotations and markup to the PDF. We have informed Apple of this issue, but do not have any insight into whether or when they will fix it.
Regarding the qustion about importing pictures, Adobe Reader does not provide any capabilities to import pictures into a PDF. To do this, you'll need to use Acrobat, available on your desktop computer.

Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save.

I am using Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and I was using Adobe Reader version 9. In the past, I've always been able to print to file using the File -> Print dialogue but all of a sudden it stopped working. I read somewhere that installing the latest version of Adobe Reader (version 11) would remove the old printer, so I did so. It took me about an hour on version 11 to even find the pdf print to file option, but I am getting the same message. For what it's worth, when I try print to file from Microsoft Word, I have no problem. I have no idea why things changed all of a sudden, but does anyone have any idea how I can get this working again?

I checked with Adobe. No luck.
Allow me to clarify my problem:
I have Adobe Reader XI. I also use a Mac--imac and a MacBook Pro. My adobe was updated on 12/24. Prior to that point, I could open my print dialogue box and there was a PDF tab on the bottom left. In the drop down menu there were many choices, including but not limited to Open in PDF Preview, Print PDF, Save PDF, email PDF. If I selected one page of 30 pages from a document saved in Adobe, I could extract just that one page and save it or email it, without having to send the entire document. After the update, when I open a PDF file using ADOBE READER XI, and then open the print dialogue box, and follow those same steps, I get the message "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save." My question is why is this feature now unavailable and is there a way to fix it?
The answer I got from Adobe was that Adobe never had this function, so it must have been via my print or preview programs..which are apple. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thank you.

Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported.

Hi Guys,
I upgrade from leopard to snow and now I don't have the possibility anymore to to print PDF as a PDF.
Before I was going to print and then choose save as a pdf and everything ok.
Now after the upgrade to snow every time that I am going to print a pdf from a pdf (acrobat 9 and X) I received this msg "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save "
Why that happened ? how can I fix it?
The thing is that I have a pdf form (contract) that I have to fill up and print it as a pdf.
Now I can't do that I can save only the form with the fields unlock.
thanks you in advance for your help.

Ah.. this is so annoying filled in a long form.. which doesn't allow saving.. I assumed as normal with this type of form I could print to PDF and at least get a electronic copy.. but no, I made the mistake of installing Adobe Reader.. and it has screwed up the print options.. when I try to save as PDF from the print menu I get the helpful suggestion
"Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
When I do as suggested.. it helpfully tells me that it will only save a "blank form"..
Adobe has badly messed up their reader.. I now need to print out and then scan this document to get the electronic copy I need.. I will be uninstalling promptly after this fiasco..

AcroPro9, snow leopard, "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported"

Hi,
I have AcroPro9.1.3 (and 8 and 7 and Dreamweaver CS3, and probably other stuff too) on Snow Leopard (10.6.1).
I've read about de-installing the Acrobat printer and using "save as Adobe PDF" from the PDF button on the print menu. However, when I try this, I'm told "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported". Note that this is AcroPro9, not AcroReader. I get the same message when I try any of the other options under the PDF menu on the printer menu in Acrobat. In other applications, tho, (eg powerpoint), the PDF button works fine.
Before the upgrade, the PDF button on the print menu didn't work either (same message), so I used the Adobe printer, but now I can't. I had always assumed that AcroPro was stopping me from using Apple's PDF generator in favour of the Adobe one. But maybe some of my settings are wrong.
I now cannot print to PDF from Acrobat. Help. There are 120 fourth year software engineering students who will appreciate any help I get, as I can then post my recent lecture notes for them.
(What I really want to do is to take my powerpoint slides and print 4-up versions directly. But the PPT idea of 4up wastes a lot of space, so I generate 1up PDF, and the 4up PDF from that using Acrobat. At least, I used to. It was so much easier in the old days with Latex and psnup ...)
-- Mike G.

My current solution is to print from Preview instead (which will let me use the Adobe print facility, unlike Acrobat itself).
In fact, I pretty much have no need for Acrobat at the moment.
Adobe and Apple between them seem to have some real problems with Snow Leopard. I can't get Dreamweaver to run anymore without immediately crashing (yes I looked through the help forums, deleted settings, etc etc). So I'm now looking for a replacement tool for Dreamweaver and will likely use that from now on.
Adobe is not looking very good to me at the moment. YMMV.

Message error: "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save."

I have 2 problems creating a .ps file.
As i know, there are 2 ways of creating a Postcript file from a PDF.
The first is from the Print monitor. I go through menu File/Page Setup i give the exact dimensions from my spreaded pages and after that i go to Print and when this window opens,
i go down and left and i open the pop-up menu on"PDF" and i choose "Save PDF as Postscript"
There is where i get the above error message :
"Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
And the second scenario, i get an equal problem.
If i go to Page setup and give the right dimensions of my spreaded document, after that i go to the File/Save as command, there is choose from the bottom pop-up menu, the option at Format: Postscript
If i do that i get the following message:
"The document could not be saved. An internal error occured."
What is wrong with all this?
Can anyone help me out?

I had a similar problem, and i found that the photo was of very low resoluton. As a test I resized the image to a lrager resolution using photoshop CS4 and re saved it as JPG. I imported the new saved image and it seem to have fixed the problem.

Hi,
We have heard few users having similar issue as yours and found out the problem for one of the users is this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529 .
I was able to reporduce this problem(square with a 'X') by changing the TabProcGrowth registry entry to 0.
This tool provided by Microsoft is for Win 8, to run this on Win 7 you can manually change the registry setting : please see " Let me fix it myself" in above url.
Before running these steps please make sure yours indeed is the same problem.
Please be very careful as some registry settings (not this one) can create serious problems on a Windows system including causing it to no longer boo
Let me know how it goes.
Thank You.

Open PDF in full Reader and not web browser

Hi
I am currently designing an internal help page with PDF forms - Is there anyway to open a pdf web page link in Internet explorer and open the PDF in the full Adobe x reader and not the internet browser version from inside the form itself?
Thanks in advance
Andy

Hi Andy,
Try to turn off the below mentioned feature from Reader and Acrobat (If both on your computer)
Edit > Preferences
Click Internet Category
Uncheck " Display PDF in Browser "
Let me know if that helps.

PDF email only sends the top page and not the others

I have created a real estate brochure in Pages. I have tried to email it as a PDF. When it arrives at its destination there is only one page and not the three which are in the brochure. Why is this? I sent this in Pages format I have all the surrounding editing paraphernalia. It does not look very professional

Are you sure this is what is happening?
Only the top page is shown in the eMail. Save the pdf or double click on it so it open in Preview or Acrobat Reader and you should see all the pages.
If you want people to see multiple pages in the email, split the .pdf up into individual pages, then add them to the eMail.

Hi sfuentes,
You need to check iCloud to see if they are actually there. Go to iCloud.com and sign in and then look at your Contacts there to see if the old ones are still showing on iCloud.
If they are not, then you can either re-enter them while you are on iCloud.com, or you can restore your device from the backup where you saved them:
