Trouble getting Acrobat PDF to make a PDF

Hi,
I'm in Illustrator, I hit cmd + P, and I select Adobe PDF as my printer. I hit OK, and I see a dialog box quickly pop up and then disappear and nothing happens. I'm expecting it to ask me where I'd like to save the file so I can assign it a name and location. Why isn't it working properly? No PDF seems to be created at all.
Am I missing a PostScript drive? Can't see how as all I did was install CS4 Suite, so everything should automatically be in working order.
Thanks!

Fonts may not get embedded if the font has licensing restrictions that does not allow embedding.
This makes the PDF process from Illustrator sound dubious. However, this is the same from any application - if the font itself does not have the fstype flag set for embedding which can be a problem. However if you use *normal* fonts and not cheap ones - most users never come across this problem in their creative lifetime.
Sorry, but remarks such as yours make people either continue to supply files as EPS (bad) or even outlined font PDFs (equally bad!).

Trying to get a pdf document to make a booklet after every 10 pages

How would I get acrobat pro to make a booklet after every 10 pages?

How would I get acrobat pro to make a booklet after every 10 pages?

Acrobat PDF FIle Format is having difficulties...

I've got an error that appears pretty reliably. I open a multi-page PDF file in Illustrator, choosing one page to edit. I save that page with a new name as a PDF file, and that works fine. Now, if I edit the file at all and save it again, I get "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Bad parameter." And there's no way to save the file.
If I close without saving and open the single-page PDF file again, it usually behaves well. But any time I get that message I lose all of the unsaved changes and have to repeat them.
I'm using CS3, version 13.0.2. OS 10.4.10. Any assistance is appreciated...

I've had the same problem in various versions of Illustrator on the Mac, up to and including CS3. Based on the previous comment, this appears to happen only if your Illustrator document starts life as a generic PDF file. So this is my solution (which worked today for me).
Make sure all layers are visible and unlocked.
Copy all your artwork to the clipboard (Select -> All then Edit -> Copy, or cmd-A then cmd-C)
Create a new document with the same dimensions as your original one.
Show the layers palette, and choose "Paste Remembers Layers" from the popup menu.
Paste your artwork into the new document (Edit -> Paste or cmd-V)
Save the new document.
You should be able to edit and re-save the new document whenever needed after that, although you may find that the file is larger than the original one.

How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which makes a PDF of a web page interactive, to work in Firefox 4.0.1?

I just installed (on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) operating system/Intel i5 CPU M560 2.67 GHz) and am now using as my default browser Firefox 4.0.1 because Internet Explorer 9 was giving me so much trouble--lack of display of web content, lack of PDF reproduction when web content displayed, screwball formatting display, etc., all of which has been remedied by the mere installation of Firefox 4.0.1.
How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which converts a web page to an interactive PDF, to set up and work on Firefox 4.0.1?

You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

Hello. May I ask: I am using Acrobat 6.0.2, and having trouble formatting a PDF created from multiple (jpeg) files. Each page is formatted to A4 size, portrait. But when I create the PDF, each sheet appears as tiny, in the middle of a huge white page.

Hello. May I ask: I am using Acrobat 6.0.2, and having trouble formatting a PDF created from multiple (jpeg) files. Each page is formatted to A4 size, portrait. But when I create the PDF, each sheet appears as tiny, in the middle of a huge white page. I cannot seem to find any controls to adjust this. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks CtDave, for the further info. Unfortunately, those suggestions are not working, which is strange.
....Until last week, I used to make multi-page PDFs straight from Photoshop: File > Automate > Make PDF. One simply choses the files, orders them, and creates a PDF. (Resolution doesn't matter; 300 DPI is no problem.) However, my new Photoshop CS5 does not have the option in Automate.
What I've done, seeing as Acrobat is letting me down, is use Bridge (new to me) to create the PDF. It worked without a problem, but seems like more work than the old PS method. I will download a newer version of Acrobat to see if that makes any difference.
.....Also, thanks Test Screen Name: I agree with you that jpeg is irrelevant, and that one can make a PDF from Photoshop (Print > Save As - pdf). But that only works for SINGLE PAGE pdf, not multiple pages as far as I can tell.
Kind regards,
Prince Nuada

Cannot get Acrobat Reader or Pro to open PDF IN FF browser

I have a Win7, 64 bit laptop. I have Acrobat Pro X, and Acrobat Reader 11.
I cannot get FF to open a pdf using either of these readers INSIDE the browser. I do not like the internal PDF viewer and I was trying to get Acrobat to render the PDF in the browser. However, whenever I choose acrobat (either one) in options, it will merely download it and open it the application. However, what I want it to do is to open it IN the browser, not in the application.
There is no option for Portable Document Format that includes Acrobat in browser. I had configured it to work properly, but I had to reformat my computer and I can't get it to work again. I have disabled and re-enabled the add-ins for Acrobat, and I still can't get it to work.

Which version(s) of Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat do you have? Do you know whether they are up-to-date? I recommend using the product's Help menu to Check for Updates to make sure they are up-to-date.
Then open the Firefox Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* 3-bar menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
Look in the lower section (gray background) for "Adobe Acrobat" and change it from "Never Activate" to "Always Activate".
Then it should become available in the Options dialog.
Does it work?
Also, I noticed you have a NitroPDF plugin listed in your More System Details. In case that one is conflicting, if you don't plan to use it, consider switching it to "Never Activate" when you are on the Add-ons page.

We use a plugin Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.2 on a Mac to get the pdf to open in a browser window. Is there a later version or other method ?

We use a plugin Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.2 on a Mac to get the pdf to open in Acrobat and the pdf display within the browser window, as within our Online artwork Approval system we use the Acrobat Annotations server to annotate pdfs and publish to the server
But we can no longer get this plugin to work! Is there a later version ? or is there another way of forcing the pdf to open in a Acrobat Reader application (not the Mac viewer) within the browser and not open another window to display the pdf in Acrobat?

The latest version is 11.0.6. Whether that's available to you depends on the version of Mac OS you're running.

Acrobat PDF Makerの不具合?

今現在、以下の状況で使用しています。
Mac 10.5
Acrobat 7.0 Pro
Illustrator CS2
MS Office:Mac
さて今回の相談は、上記のアプリケーションにてPDFファイルの作成を試みましたがうまくいきませんでしたので、問題点もしくは改善策を教えていただきたく思います。
　まずイラレの場合、［ファイル］／［別名で保存］を選択しダイアログボックスにてファイル形式をPDFに選択すれば問題なく作成できるのですが、［ファイル］／［プリント］でAdobe PDFプリンタ（仮想プリンタ）を選択し実行しても作成できませんでした。というのも、プリントキューを開きモニターしているとジョブが常に一時停止の状態なのがわかります。［ジョブの再開］ボタンを押してもすぐに停止に切り替わります。従ってジョブが完了されません。
　またOffice Wordでドキュメントを作成し、一発で作成できる［PDFに変換］ボタンを押します。すると自動的に仮想プリンタのAcrobat PDF Makerが立ち上がりますが、これも完了できず進捗状況９０％のところでアイドリングが続きます。
　いずれの症状を鑑みても仮想プリンタに不具合があるのではないかと自分では思ってしまっているのですがいかがでしょうか。それともそもそもMac OS 10.5とAcrobat 7.0 Proとの組み合わせがまずいのでしょうか。自分では判断がつきかねます。どうかご教示願います。

気になる点があるので。
＞イラレの場合、［ファイル］／［別名で保存］を選択しダイアログボックスにて
＞ファイル形式をPDFに選択すれば問題なく作成できるのですが
Illustrator のファイル保存でPDF形式を選んでPDF化する機能は、llustratorが単体で持っている機能であってAcrobatとは無関係のはず。
llustrator単体のヘルプにPDF保存の方法が書かれているのでは？ヘルプで調べることはしていますか？

IllustratorのPDF保存化機能はAdobe PDF Libraryで実現されているはず。作成されたPDF文書のプロパティを見れば、それがわかる。

またMac版Acrobat 9.0にはStadardがない。
おそらくは、最近のMacではOSレベルでPDF化機能があるので、基本機能を提供するStandard版の需要はないとAdobeは判断したのであろう。

＞仮想プリンタのAcrobat PDF Makerが立ち上がりますが
PDFMakerは直接的には仮想プリンターではないのでは？ Windowsで言うとOFFICEなどのアドインとして登録される（Macでどういう表現になるかは知らない）。
＞もしくはOS側がAdobeの旧ヴァージョンをサポートするかと
そういう事例ってそんなにあるのでしょうかね？よそさまのアプリケーションのサポートって、自社製品をサポートするよりも結構大変ではありませんか？

How can I get Acrobat Reader X to send my pdf to the printer?

My pdf just looks at me while I push all of the buttons, file menus and keyboard shortcuts associated with printing and it does nothing. No dialog box, no nothing. All three of my printers work and i've tried them all. It just doesn't do anything. Any suggestions? I really need help here.

Problem printing Acrobat.pdf files get a VMerror error. Upgraded to Mac OS X10.10 Yosemite

I really need to be able to print Acrobat.pdf files and printer window indicates pdf is being sent to the printer. Printed a test page and Word documents but not Acrobat.pdf.
Test page indicated I have Driver Name: HP338_6PPD and Driver Version: 19.8.. I have had this printer for over 10 years and it has performed very well. Other than I can't scan anymore it has never failed to print a document. Does Adobe need to address this problem?

Welcome back to the community, @JAJ70
I read about the "VMerror" error you are seeing when attempting to print PDF files. Although this may be an issue with Adobe, I do have some links and suggestions for you to look into.
I would suggest a power reset:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
I am unsure of which printer you have however, check for a firmware update:

Acrobat Javascript get Windows PDF creation time

Is there a way to get the Windows creation time of a PDF in Acrobat Javascript? When you copy a PDF the Windows creation time changes but the PDF creation time does not. I'm looking for a way to detect if someone copied the PDF.

I know you can get the PDF creation time through the info object but that isn't what I want. When you copy-paste a PDF in Windows the creation time of the info object doesn't change. It always stays the same so I can't detect a copy that way. I want the creation time that Windows provides. Is that possible?
