Unable to print using PDF Converter from Photoshop

For years I have been able to select "Adobe PDF Converter" in my print dialogue box...resulting in the creation of a PDF file. Although the choice to use this printer driver is still an option, it won't generate a file. It gives me an error box, with no explanation as to what the error might be. Any ideas?
I'm using Photoshop CS3, and Windows Vista.

What version of Acrobat? Only Acrobat 9 is certified for Vista. Older versions do not cope with some of the driver and security stuff on Vista and therefore may not work correctly or not at all.

Unable to print to pdf from any of my applications

Hello,
I am running Acrobat 8.0 on windows 7. Toshiba Qosmio 64 bit. I am unable to print to pdf from any of my applications. Office, Mozilla, Lotus 1-2-3 and others. When I choose the print option. And from the drop down menu choose Adobe PDF as the printer. And when I click to continue I get the little metered bar showing it's working, but then I get an error in the printer que. I don't even get an option what to save it as or where to save it to. It just goes straight to the metered bar showing its working. And it does this for all my programs where I can print to pdf. Can anyone help me? Also, this is a student version. Could the student version be unable to do this?
Thank you,
JimmyJoney

Although Acrobat 8 is not supported on Win 7, you can try a few things. First, apply all updates to Acrobat 8. If this doesn't help, check to make sure that the PDF port was created. If not, you can try:
Open Control Panel, select Printers
* Click Add a Printer
* Click Add a local printer
* Select Use an existing port (should be preselected), change the port to "Desktop \*.pdf (Adobe PDF Port), click Next
* On the next page, click Have Disk...
* Click Browse and browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF (or wherever you have Acrobat installed), click OK.
* It should now show a series of "Adobe PDF Converter" entries. Select the first one and click Next
* Change the printer name if desired, uncheck the box to use it as a default printer, click Next
* Do not print a test page, click Finish
* Find your new printer in Printers. Right click on it and select Properties, Advanced
* Click "Print directly to the printer", click OK
These last steps are detailed in the following discussion.

Unable to print to pdf from a pdf

We're having a issue where we're unable to print to pdf from a pdf with acrobat 9 std, so far a 64bit machine. We get the following errors
"the document could not be printed"
"there were no pages selected to print"
We see the issue with all pdfs. Acrobat 7 std works fine, as does printing to pdf from other applications with 9 std. So far it only effects acrobat 9 std. We've repaired the installation and updated to the latest. We do have however only see this with one machine, but we haven't looked past this one machine yet...Any ideas?
thanks all,

XP pro 64bit. Just updated to 9.3.3, still have the error being thrown.
The user fills in a form from our intranet and then prints it with the adobe printer creating the illusion that its write protected. I'm not one to stop them, given the forms are low value and all. Possibly if the process is uncomplicated (that's key here) then saving the document to the desktop and making the change and write protecting it there before transmittal might be an alternative, as long as it doesn't rely on passwords and keys...
Sorry I'm an adobe noob.
thanks,

Printing wedding invitations using PDFs purchased from Etsy.

I am trying to print wedding invitations using PDFs purchased from Etsy. What program should I be using, and how can I get four of the the RSVP cards to print on one sheet of paper? Thanks!Pr

Thanks for your prompt reply. I know this sounds dense, but I can't figure out how to get the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th copies to populate....I can get the one to print the correct size on 1/4th of the sheet if that makes any sense.

Suddenly I'm unable to print any pdf to any of my 3 printers.

Suddenly I'm unable to print any pdf to any of my 3 printers. Running Windows 8.1. I did have Acrobat 11 installed. When i would try to print I receive the message "unable to print document". When I click OK i then get a new message stating "no pages were selected to print". However, the dialog box clearly indicates that the proper pages WERE selected to print. i finally decided to uninstall Acrobat. i reinstalled Acrobat DC and still nothing prints. The same message occurs each time. The version of Adobe Read DC I'm using is 2015.007.20033. Please help.Can'

Juanrva is correct, the kb document is of absoltuely no help. I already found the link to the KB document and performed all those suggestions. Actually, I'm a bit disappointed that I'm referred back to a troubleshooting link that I was already referred to! All of my drivers are up to date and, like Juanrva, I, too, can print from any other software or program. My issue, though, developed 2 days ago with XI. When I couldn't find a way to fix it, I uninstalled XI with the intention of reinstalling it but DC was the only install option. After installing DC i tried to print again with the same results. I then tried to print as an image and that doesn't work either. I'm tempted to say that I'd like to go back to XI but I don't think that's a good solution. There was no warning, I could print from Xi on Wednesday at 7:44 PM but could not at 8:15 PM. I didn't upload or download anything, did not install anything new and my security and anti-virus program indicates there has been no suspicious activity. In the meantime, I have people sending me PDF's daily, all of which I need to print but cannot.

Error when printing a PDF direct from SAP archive

Hi together,
I try to print a PDF direct from SAP archive and I got the error ""C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\reader\AcroRd.exe" /p /h" not found. In the internet I found several topics which describe this way to print a PDF without open the Acrobat Reader.
The customizing for document management (Local application) seems o.k. If I remove in the registry the parameters /h /p for print, Acrobat Reader will open and show the document if I use the print button in SAP.
Have anybody an idea what the reason is?
Thank you.
Regards
Thomas

The rundll32 error seems to have disappeared. Until this morning I had both this error and the rundll32. All other types of docs open fine. This one will open if saved to the desktop first, but not from Outlook.

Hello courtneym48375386,
Could you please let me know what version of Outlook are you using.
Please try opening some other PDF file and check if the same issue persists as this might be a document specific issue.
Also, what happens if you try opening the file in Acrobat?
Let me know.

Unable to print a pdf document

I have an HP Officejet 4315 All-in-One Printer and have been unable to print an pdf document. I have Adobe X installed.
How can I get the print to work on pdf documents?

How are you trying to print to pdf?
Don't go via PostScript or Acrobat Distiller, which are old deprecated technology.
You use:
Menu > File > Print > PDF (button bottom left) > Save as PDF…

Can I print a pdf file from my phone?

Can I print a pdf file from my phone

Hello Carmen1390,
It sounds like you would like to print from your phone directly to a printer. This feature is called Airprint and your printer would need to support that function. Here is some more information on Airprint along with a list of compatible printers:

How to print a PDF document from Labview?

I am looking to create a paper copy of a PDF document. Note: I do NOT want to create a PDF document.
In other words I want to print a PDF document from Lab View or Visual Basic or C#. The application is used in a production environment so I want a clean solution.
The requirements are:
1) Be able to specify the output printer.
2) Set the quantity to print.
3) Specify the file to print.
4) Function returns when printing is complete
5) Silent operation, that means no popup boxes.
Any help is appreciated.

you might be able to use system exec to print files.

The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year of 2013.
Acrobat 9 support of MS Project via PDFMaker stops with Office 2007.
For Office 2013 support you must use Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or newer.
A good to have reference:

Acrobat Pro and Standard DC are what are currently available for purchase.
