Why is Save As PDF not in print dialog

When I click the print button and the dialog comes up, Save as PDF is no longer there as an option. It does come up if I use Chrome so I don't think its my computer.

Why is exporting to PDF not working?

Why is exporting to PDF not working?

Dear Claudio,
I know it wasn't much to go on but I got your attention!
I work for a charity and use a program called "Donor Perfect".
It has a feature that when you generate a report it gives you the option to export to MSWord, Excel, and PDF.
Below is the step by step description of what happens.
After log on ......
     1. Click on Reports
     2. Listings
     3. Report Category(any)
     4. Select Record type(any)
     5. Select report options (any selection filter that fits or Build a filter) and sort order(any)
     6. Enter title (accordingly)
     7. Click on Preview
     8. When next screen opens with report visible - in "Report Print preview" line above report choose PDF icon
     9. Export to PDF window opens
     10. click on Page range-ALL
     11. What to print-All pages in Range
     12. Save as C:\DPW32\dpsumm.pdf
     13. collate
     14. number of copies(1)
     15. Click on "Screen"
     16. Click on "Display Conversion Status"
     17. Then "OK"
     18. After conversion status reaches "100%" nothing happens -screen does not change!
Then I minimize DP screen and I go to Start menu
     1. Click on Start
     2. Then "My Computer"
     3. Local Disk "C"
     4. Dpw32
     5. Look for "dpsumm" file with today's date
     6. Size of file says 0 KB and that's it!!!!
In previous versions of DP (8 and 9)
the PDF would open on the screen as soon as the Step 18 was finished, then I could save it with an identifying name to a different folder and use it as an attachment that a Donor could receive by e-mail.
I hope I can get back to that because now I have to convert to "Word" (Which takes a long time)then from that I have to create PDF from Acrobat. too many steps ..... if I have 20-30 reports it's too cumbersome.
Waiting for your suggestions,

How do I save a PDF ready for print. I have a problem with the fonts. The fonts are blurry after printing. There is a trick in saving PDF.

Hi el_giclee,
Important to note from the beginning is that when you create your Photoshop document make sure you chose 300 Pixels/inch as your resolution.
I'm interested in seeing your Save Adobe PDF dialog box after you choose to save the PDF.
Could you post a screenshot of this dialog box with the Compression menu selected on the left side?
It's a good idea to select High Quality Print or Press Quality in the Adobe PDF Preset menu at the top of this box. It will automatically select the best default settings for a printed piece.

Why does my exported PDF not look like the original?

When I export a PDF to excel, the excel document doesn't look like the original. Any idea why or how to make it an exact duplicate?

"Vaguely like" is the best we can hope for and a minor miracle in itself. PDF was never meant to be converted.

Do I have to save each pdf file before printing?

Do I have to save each pdf file before printing? It won't allow me to print unless I save it first.

Are you viewing in a browser? Which one? What steps are you taking to print and exactly what happens?

Save as PDF not working suddenly

As of yesterday, unable to use the *'Save as PDF'* feature in the print dialogue.
Clicking on Save as PDF produces no result window (file name as save location). In fact, none of the options under PDF button works, neither does the Preview button.
Happening with all applications. No font conflicts. Permissions repaired.
Only way to make this feature work now is by
1. manually deselecting the default printer (Epson)
2. manually selecting Adobe PDF 9
3. clicking on the PDF button
4. selecting Save as PDF select +(not Print: no file is pdf-ed or saved anywhere)+
~ and the original workflow is back (save dialogue box pops up, etc.)
All of this should happen almost automatically, as before. Assume something is broken / corrupted.
Any help would be appreciated, as I use this feature a lot.

Reinstalled SL over current installation and updated to 10.6.1.
'Save as PDF" still doesn't work.
If 'Save as PDF' is an Automator workflow, here's a clue perhaps...
In user>library>pdf services, found a workflow reading 'Save As PDF-X.workflow'. When clicked, opened up the Automator library with the following message:
"The behavior of this workflow may have changed because of the reasons listed below.
The workflow was saved with an older version of the action "Apply Quartz Filter to PDF Documents. Some behavior may have changed."
Anyone?

Save as PDF not working for Numbers, Yosemite

I have a MacBook Pro, running OS X Yosemite (10.10) and Numbers Version 3.5. I'm trying to save a spreadsheet as a PDF document using the Print function, followed by "Save as PDF". The first time I tried this, it complained about the name being longer than 31 characters. I corrected that, and the process appears to finish normally. However, the PDF document does not appear in the destination directory. A subsequent search of my hard drive doesn't show the document anywhere.
A few more details which may or may not be pertinent. The spreadsheet has 2 sheets, but I'm trying to "print to PDF" only 1 of those sheets. I have also told Numbers to "Fit" the sheet onto 1 page (it would otherwise be several pages in size and not very conveniently viewable...it's just a very wide table). Prior to upgrading to Yosemite, I was able to "print to PDF" an earlier version of this same spreadsheet, although that version had only 1 sheet.
Any and all help much appreciated.

Can I make Save as PDF the default printer

I have an application that I only want to Print as "save as PDF." It doesn't seem like I can set this as a default printer for this application or the computer. Am I wrong or will I always need to use the drop down to save as a PDF?

you can't set "save as pdf" as a default printer. you can try CUPS-PDF which creates a virtual pdf printer and you can use that.

Save as PDF not working - in Preview only

I am trying to password protect a PDF file so I can email it, and tried to use the "Save As PDF" option in File>Print (in Preview) so I could add a password in the Security Options window. However, when I do this, nothing seems to happen (the application kind of freezes for about 10 seconds or so, and then it's back to the same print screen). I tested out whether the Save as PDF option worked in other applications (Word, Excel, Safari) and it works fine. Only Preview seems to be a problem - which is an issue if I want to password protect docs that are already PDF. Any suggestions? I'm running on OSX 10.8.2 on a MBP from early 2011. Thanks in advance.

Please help us help you. We need to know:
Your Mac Computer model and sub-model
Your mac OSX version
What e-mail program you use
Otherwise we are guessing and that's not always good!

Illustrator help..save to PDF not working.

I am just trying to save a PDF from my illustrator file. However, when I go to Save as, and select PDF, no dialog box opens to allow me to set how I want the file outputted. IF I just hit enter, the file does save.. its just like the Dialog box is hidden or not appearing. The reason I need the dialog box is because I need to add bleeds to the PDF and my default save doesn't do that. Any ideas or anyone else have this problem? Thanks!

Yeah, be sure that you shutdown Illustrator before you remove the old preferences.
Move your old Illustrator preferences to the desktop or trash in case something goes wrong
Go to your home folder
~/Library/Preferences/
folder:
Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings
Adobe Illustrator CS3 Library Settings
file:
com.adobe.illustrator.plist
I hope this helps.

Edit the PDF menu in print dialog

Hi,
The PDF menu in the print dialog is easily expanded. I can add new destinations to it, I can even add shortcuts to applications which will open the created PDF in that application, etc. I can rename those by going to ~/Library/PDF Services and renaming the aliases.
But here is my problem ...
How do I edit the other options in this drop-down menu? They do not appear in aforementioned Library folder.
If I'm going to "Send PDF via Messages", I also want to "Send PDF via Mail".
And I want to "Save PDF to iBooks" instead of adding it.
And I want to disable the saving the PDF to Web Receipts Folder as I won't use that.
Does anybody know how to edit these?
cheers,
Rob

Try this:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
    activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
    tell application process "Microsoft Word"
        click menu item "Print..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
        delay 1
        tell menu button "PDF" of window "Print"
            click
            -- add a delay here if necessary
            click menu item "Create Booklet" of menu 1
        end tell
    end tell
end tell

Removing PDF options in print dialog box

When I bring up the print dialog box and click on "PDF" to go to the options for saving the document as PDF, how do I remove some of the options from that list? I installed software that put an option in that list, but I don't use the software so I want to remove that PDF option from the list but don't know where to go to remove it.

Opening a saved printer friendly version of a web page (PDF) opens a print dialog.

On the web I asked to view a printer friendly version of the page which opened a PDF which I saved. When I attempt to open the saved PDF it automatically brings up the print dialog. If I cancel the print it opens in Adobe Reader. What can I do to open the file without the print dialog popping up

Hi Stanley Trela,
If you are on Windows, open up your application preferences, then go to the "Security (Enhanced)" category and deselect "Protected View". If you are on a Mac, unfortunately, the only workaround is to "print as image" - you can select that after clicking on the "Advanced" button on the print dialog.
