Unable to use Acrobat 8 as printer in windows 7 x64

I recently upgrade from windows vista to 7. Then I download all the Adobe patches up to 8.1.7. Now, I cannot use PDF as printer when I am on a website or in other programs such as QB.

You may be able to print to file with the Adobe PDF printer (it is a PS printer). Then you can either try to locate the file in a watch folder for Distiller to watch or simply open the file in Distiller to complete the conversion. I have not heard back from users with AA8 about how well this will work, but it is probably the only way you are going to be successful. The use of the watched folder is probably as automatic as the process can be done with AA8. I do not have Win 7 and can not test the options out. If you get something to work, please report back with the AA version (AA 8.1.7) and what works and does not work. It will be useful for trying to help others.

Can I use Acrobat 8.1 Pro for Windows 8?

Can I use Acrobat 8.1 Pro for Windows 8?

Generally I agree, but there is a chance it will work. If you are talking about a 64-bit system, the likelihood of problems is substantially higher. The simplest way to find out is try it (assuming you have already purchased Win8 system. You will likely have to update to at least 8.1 to have it work. However, Adobe will not provide support for problems you run into, though folks here might try to offer solutions. I have not heard anyone try it yet. Several were successful with Win7, though I only heard of 2 with Win7, 64-bit who claimed success.
However, you might find that AA XI provides better performance (assuming you do get AA 8 to work) and you probably should consider the upgrade.

Oops - for some reason, this problem now seems to have gone away. May have had something to do with Flash. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Word 2010x64 to PDF using Acrobat Pro XI: Print shows box with ? inside.

System: Windows 7 SP1 X64
Adobe: Acrobat XI Pro
Office: Office 2010 x64
On multiple systems, I creating a document with standard text and font and then saved as or printed as a PDF. This creates a normal PDF with no visable issues. Problem arrises when printing the newly created PDF. All PDFs converted from Word print with question marks inside squares. There is no symbols evident on the Word document, created PDF or in print preview. All formatting Markups have been disabled in Word as well. Any ideas as to a work around or fix? See below images for example.
Word Document: Scan of Printed PDF:

We are having exactly the same issue as described above.
Did this ever get answered?
We are using:
Acrobat 11.0.3
Word 2010 (V 14.0.7015.1000 32-bit)
MS Office Home and Business 2010 SP2
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit
The problem seems to occur only when, in Word, we use File - Print - Printer Adobe PDF, email the resulting PDF file to another office, and then printout on a Toshiba Studio 2330c printer.
If we print the file locally to a Toshiba Studio 2550c printer then it prints ok.
It also prints ok if we, in Word we use the Acrobat tab, click Create PDF, email the resulting PDF file to another office, and then printout on the same Toshiba Studio 2330c printer.
Any ideas?

Unable to use Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer

I want to convert a web page (html) to a PDF document. When I tried to do this using my Adobe PDF Pack, I received a message indicating that I would have to do it using the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer. So, I downloaded and installed the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer as directed.   I went to the web page and printed the document to the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer, as directed in the instructions. I received the following error message: Could not open the file. Access is denied.
What do I do now?

I get exactly the same result. It doesn't work. Please note that I am
trying to SAVE the web page as a PDF file. That is, I am trying to convert
a web page (html) to a PDF document.   I am not trying to print it. I want
a copy of the PDF version of the web page to save on my computer.
In any event, printing it does not work.   I get the same error message I
indicated in my first missive. And, yes, my printer is working just fine.
Please: tell me how to use the
<http://forums.adobe.com/message/5836668#5836668> Adobe CreatePDF Desktop
Printer to convert a web page to a PDF document. When I try to do that,
using my Adobe PDF pack, I get this message:
"Adirondack-Wildfl ... ng-Shrub-List.html" is in a format not supported for

You can save the file to one of the supported formats or use the PDF printer

When I clicked on the link, I received these instructions:

"To convert a file type not listed above, use

and downloaded the Adobe CreatePDF Printer. I followed these instructions:
"Print To PDF Setup
The Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer lets you convert any file (in a
printable format) to PDF by printing it from an application on your desktop.
The resulting file is saved automatically to your Adobe PDF Pack account,

don't need any special hardware to print to Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer.
To print to the Adobe CreatePDF printer, first install and configure the
Adobe CreatePDF Desktop printer. Then, open a file in its native application
and choose the print function. Select the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer
from the printer list, choose the appropriate print settings, and then print
the file. Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer converts the file to PDF, and then
stores the PDF file in your Acrobat.com account."
So, the instructions say that the Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer will
convert a file to PDF and store it in my Acrobat.com account. It doesn't do
that. I tried just printing it (after selecting Adobe CreatePDF Desktop
Printer). I also tried printing to file. In both cases, I get an error
message, and there is no file stored in my Acrobat.com account.
It doesn't work.
Please fix!

Acrobat 8 Pro - partial printing under Windows 7 x64 - any ideas?

Hi,
I've recently installed Acrobat 8 Professional as part of the CS3 Master Collection on a PC running Windows 7 x64.
Now, I'd read up about this in advance and found the dll file adobepdf.dll_64 prior to installation, but I was never asked for it. The installation ran to a successful conclusion without ever prompting me for the missing file. After installation I compared the installed file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AMD64\AdobePDF.dll with the .dll_64 version I'd extracted and they were identical.
Initially, everything seemed to be working fine, I was mostly using Acrobat as a reader, but I was occasionally generating small PDF files - no more than half-a-dozen pages - through applications like MS Word. This worked - and still works - fine, but I've noticed a problem now I've come to start exporting much larger files to PDF.
If I print a long report from MS Access to the Adobe PDF "printer", then the standard "Printing..." box pops up as does a dialog box for me to enter the name of the resulting PDF file. At this point the Distiller window (with the title "Creating Adobe PDF") opens and both the printer dialog in MS Access and the Distiller window start counting through the pages as they always do. However, without fail, usually at somewhere between around 50 and 90 pages (but it varies each time I print, even if re-printing the exact same thing) the Distiller window stops counting pages and just stalls. The application's printer dialog carries on working its way through the pages until it gets to the end of what it's supposed to be printing. Eventually the Distiller window closes and the log file opens up automatically in Notepad. Aside from the exact page number at which it stops, the contents of the file is always the same. For example:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[Page: 1]%%
%%[Page: 2]%%
. <snipped>
%%[Page: 84]%%
%%[Page: 85]%%
%%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; OffendingCommand: showpage ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
The same kind of thing happens in InDesign (the only other application I could think of quickly where I had a document with a large number of pages which I could try to output) and that fails in a similar way whether I print the document to the Acrobat printer or Export it to PDF format.
However, the problem doesn't seem to be application related, instead there seems to be a cut-off point at around 30 pages. If I print (or export) to PDF something of no more than 30 pages (or I restrict the printing of something longer so that it outputs 30 pages or fewer) then the PDF file is nearly always generated OK. If I go up to about 50 pages, most of the time it all appears to work OK but no file is produced. And more than 50 then the Distiller window stalling thing occurs.
I've updated all the applications in CS3 to the latest versions, so Acrobat Professional is now on version 8.2.3.
I know there are issues running Acrobat Professional 8 under Windows 7 x64, but I've not read of this specific problem in relation to that, so I wondered if that might be a red herring and there is a solution to this.
Thanks.

Just for the record, in case anyone else comes looking for a solution to the same problem, the issue appears to be with my Kaspersky Anti-Virus software. By setting a check mark against most of the exclusions in the Kaspersky application control for Acrobat Distiller everything now seems to be working OK.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to read my original posting.

Laserjet P1006 does not print in windows 7 x64 even though the status of the printer is "printing"

HP LaserJet P1006
Windows 7 64-bit
No error message
No changes made to system, it never worked after installing Windows 7 64-bit
- printer properly installed and recognized as ready when plugged in
- when trying to print everything goes normal: document added in printer queue > printer status changes to printing
- but it just stays in "printing" for a few minutes and then it acts like it successfuly printed the document, showing to error, clearing the queue and going back to ready status
- and no page is being printed
- the printer harware works, because on other operating systems is has no problems (tested on two other computers): with other OS it works but with windows 7 x64 it doesn't work on another computer either
Can anyone help me with this?

HI,
Look at Wifi Guy's post on 10-15-2009, titled Solved Photosmart C7280 All in One. Worked for me. Had been running around in circles for the last two weeks. Hope it works for you.
Good luck!

Lightroom x64 V2 & 3 fail to print in Windows 7 x64

In Lightroom x64 v2.7 on Windows 7 x64 when printing, Lightroom hangs and seems to loop forever. Sometimes locking up the system requiring a power off reset.
Lightroom 2.7 x86 on Windows x64 prints without a problem.
Lightroom 3 x64 (Trial mode) prints, but does not actually print the image. It does print the stroked border/background and identity plate, but no image. Just a very nice white page with the identity plate.The Beta version printed perfectly.
Is there a fix for Windows 7 x64 and Lightroom x64?
Or is the blank image printing a restriction in the trial copy?
Carl

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Trying to print from Windows 7 x64 over network to XP machine with attached HP Deskjet 990cxi

My laptop has Windows 7 (x64 bit) and I'm trying to print to an HP 990cxi attached to an XP x86 machine. The driver for Windows 7 is apparently at Windows Update but how do I trigger the download without physically connected the printer to the laptop?
Dave.

OK, OK. Honestly, I am not very good with printer sharing, especially across OS's, but I'll give it a shot.
First, just to be clear, the printer is attached to an XP machine via USB and you are trying to print to it via a router, right?
Let's try the straightforward approach:
1. Enable the Guest Account on the XP machine.
2. On the Mac, go to System Prefs > Print & Fax, click the '+' sign to add a printer and then click the Windows icon at the top.
3. Navigate to the XP machine, you may have to login to it.
4. Choose the proper driver from the pull-down. If it does not exist, choose a Gutenprint driver.
Again, I am not very experienced with this - let me know how it goes.

Unable to use 1610xi as network printer

I have a small home network and I'm hoping I can get a little help with this issue. I recently got a Buffalo 1.0TB NAS and I have the printer connected directly to the NAS to utilize the print server. One Desktop, connected directly to the router, running WIN 7 recognizes and prints to the printer with no issue. The other desktop running WIN XP and wireless cannot connect directly to the Print Server, I get an error message indicating the print server does not have the correct driver for the printer.
What is particularly interesting is I can map to the WIN 7 desktop and use the printer when its shared via that computer. Buffalo Tec Support indicates the issue may be that XP has no drivers for this printer to translate between XP and Linux.
Has anyone else had this issue, or can anyone lend some assistance in solving the issue?
One other thing, the Issue remains with firewall enabled and disabled.
Thanks!

Unable to use Acrobat 7.0 in Firefox

I use Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard Edition. I'd like to be able to use Firefox 3.6.6 (the current version) as my browser,
but it will not download PDFs (I've tried). Apparently it needs an add-on/plug-in from Adobe to do this. Does anyone know if one is available for Acrobat 7.0 to use with Firefox?
IE will download PDFs using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser Control, which works fine. But I'd like to use Firefox as my
default browser.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I don't think Reader 6 will help.
Adobe Reader / Acrobat releases are "sync'd".
While the TechNote names Acrobat releases, you could transcribe these to "Reader".
Be well...
