The Save as PDF option in the Printer dialog is not supported.

My client is asking me to save a separations PDF file. But whenever I save it to PDF, a this message pops out: The Save as PDF option in the Printer dialog is not supported. I'm using InDesign cs5 and Adobe PDF 9.0. I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.6.

What it says is correct, have a look at this post here.

  • Save as PDF and Save PDF as PostScript options in the Printer dialog are not supported.

    I downloaded Indesign CS3 trial and liked everything about it until I attempted to print to postscript and got that message. Nothing I have tried has helped. I have seen in various forums that others are having the same problem, but haven't found any solution offered. I am running Tiger 10.4.10 on a new Intel Imac with 3G ram. This is a procedure I use very often in my workflow, and have never had this problem with CS2 on my PC or other Macs. Is there a solution? I downloaded the .1 update and installed that and it didn't change anything.

    PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.

  • Save as PDF option in MS Word 2007 does not create TOC links

    Hello All,
    i am using Microsoft Office Word 2007 to create How to Guides, Installation Manuals, and other technical documents. I send these documents to customer in PDF format.
    When i use "Save as PDF" option of MS Word 2007 to generate PDF file, it creates the PDF but without TOC links. TOC entries are there but hyperlinks are missing.
    Can anyone please provide me a solution to work around this issue.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    It seems that you are trying to insert a Hyperlink in you document which you want to save as a PDF file from Word 2007,
    but when you open the PDF file there is no such a Hyperlink but only the website address.
    If there is anything misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
    Try this:
    When you have inputted the website address, enter an “Space” or “Enter” behind it to make it
    turn into a Hyperlink before you save the document into PDF file.
    Sincerely,

  • How do I obtain 'Save As PDF' option in MS Access 2003?

    Ever since I installed the Adobe CS2 Premium Suite (containing a full copy of Acrobat) on my PC a long time ago, the main menu of Microsoft Access 2003 has contained an item that would let me save an Access report as a PDF. I have since upgraded to Adobe CS4 Design Premium (which includes Acrobat Pro V9).
    Recently, that menu item in Access has disappeared for some unknown reason and a reinstall of Acrobat Pro V9 made no difference. Does anyone know how I can reinstate the 'Save As PDF' option in Access 2003?

    I have now found a fix for my problem. After learning that the missing facility was called PDFMaker, I was able to get more useful results from a Google search. This led me to the following Adobe Archived Technote, entitled 'PDFMaker is unavailable in a Microsoft Office application'.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/330/330984.html
    This Technote provides a string of 14 possible solutions, none of which worked until I got to Solution 6: 'Add the COM add-in file to the Windows registry'. This was done by running the following command in the Win XP Start/Run box.
    regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll"
    With hindsight, this problem was almost certainly caused by me letting a Microsoft technician have remote access to my PC a few weeks ago in what proved to be a vain attempt to fix a Microsoft Update error relating to Office. This technician spent 40 mins making many changes to the Registry...

  • I have a problem using the "save as pdf..." command of the print panel of MS Word (lower L corner).  When file has a few photos in it, the pdf file becomes huge; 7 mb Word file becomes 31 mb., on MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo processor , OS X 10.5.8

    How can converting a MS Word file to a pdf make the file 5x bigger?  Can someone tell me how to update the "save as pdf..." feature when "printing" a file in MS Word (Word:mac 2008, ver. 12.2.5).  The problem is that using this to create pdf files gives huge files when the Word file has graphics pasted as pictures from Powerpoint, even for simple graphics and when first exported at low resolution (180 dpi) as jpg files from Powerpoint and inserted into Word.  

    Here's a little more info on the save_as_pdf issue.  It is Word files in 97–2004 format (doc) that get 5x bigger.  The conversion works fine and file size is normal if the Word file is saved in most recent Word format (docx rather than doc).  Somehow MS Word can't save its own files properly in pdf format.  Thanks Bill for all the frustration.

  • Missing Adobe PDF option in the Printer Icon

    I have just upgraded to Mac's LION 10.7.2 and I have LOST the Adobe PDF option in my 'print menu'
    How do I get it back into the Printer llist ?
    If it matters, my version of Adobe Reeader is 10.1.1
    Thanks
    Shelgor

    Phillip,
    Thanks for getting back to me, but I am a novice ( softer word the 'dummy') and I cannot follow your directions; I don't "SEE' the items you mention so let me try to paint a clearer picture
    When I have a document that I want t print.....I go to the file menu and select "PRINT' from the drop down menu, That opens window that has an oval window that allow me to drop down to see what printers are available....I have TWO......a Brothers MFC-5490cn and a Lexmark
    NOW..tose ar my only two options......prior to up grading )from Snow Leopard) to Lion.....there was a third option....which 'Adobe PDF Printer', and THAT is the one I've lost.
    My goal is to get it back into the Printer Window as a third option.
    Thanks

  • Why does Firefox 4 not let you save a pdf document using the "File" tab. Internet Explorer * give you an option..."Save as....". Can I get same function with FF4?

    Can't save a pdf file using the 'File' tab in FF4.

    Clicking "Save Page As..." in the Firefox menu should work fine. However, if the server you are downloading from is set up incorrectly, Firefox might recommend a filename which does not have the ".pdf" extension (e.g. "get_file.php"). In this case type ".pdf" at the end of the file name.

  • How to prevent the "save a copy" option

    using Acrobat Pro 7.0
    When I set the security to "don't allow editing", and open the pdf  with Acrobat reader, the save button is disabled, as expected.
    But when I place this same pdf on a webpage, using code shown below, when the pdf displays within the browser, a "Save a copy" button allows the file to be saved. How do I prevent my file from being saved when I show it in the webpage ?  I only want the user to view my pdf on a web page - not saving and  printing.
    <a href="test.pdf">test </a>
    Also, what is the best way to present a pdf in a website
          a) use a href link
          b) use the save as html option ? (this does not do a good job when the pdf has images)_
    thanks

    You might say that this is the nature of computers. To view "any" fie, a copy has to be saved on your machine somewhere. Web or otherwise.

  • I have lost the photoshop manages color option from my print menu in CS6.

    I have lost the photoshop manages color option from my print menu in CS6. It now has colorsync manages color as an option along with printer manages color.  I don't know how to reverse this and I can no longer use my printer with any assurance of accurate color.
    What could have caused this & how do I reverse it?

    Assuming you have not gone to a newer version of WORD and it is just an update issue, then you should be able to go to the addins in the options of word and enable Acrobat. Sometimes the updates of WORD seem to disable the plugin. Note that the plugin is PDF Maker and shows up in the save as menu as well as an Adobe menu item in WORD. The printer is a separate process and does no require activation.
    A repair of Acrobat may also solve the problem.

  • When using the "Save as PDF" button

    When using the "Save as PDF" button/function on the "View Responses" page for a selected response will the resulting file be savable locally and printable on 8.5x11" paper?
    Also its Help bubble says that is savable as a PDF form. Does it really mean as a PDF file? Because saving it as a form appears to be a different option according to one pricing structure.

    When you use the Save as PDF a pdf file if the form is created and saved to your local machine.  When you save as PDF you have the option of having the resulting pdf file have a submit button or not have the button.  There is also a feature where you can export the form to a template format called FCDT.

  • Save the report in PDF format on the server: is it possible?

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to save the report in PDF format on the server?
    In other words, in a web application:
    1) the user requests a report
    2) the report produced in PDF format, is saved on the server, where is the Java Reporting Component
    3) the report, in PDF format, is sent to the client's user
    Thanks a lot

    PrintOutputController.export, get the byte stream, save on server.
    Sincerely,

  • Is the PNG generated by the "Save As" option the same as the png-24 from the "Save for Web" option?

    It would speed up my workflow if I could go through the save for web option rather than the save as. Are these files the same?

    No, SaveAs includes more metadata, while SaveForWeb makes the metadata optional.

  • Is there anyway to suppress or disable the save as jpeg options dialog box on individiual images/pic

    Is there anyway to suppress or disable the save as jpeg options dialog box on individiual images/pictures?

    UI dialogs are an application setting, not a file property. Selectively suppressing them on a per-file basis is not possible, but you can of course create an action and suppress the dialogs...
