Why is the Adobe PDF Create add-in no longer supported by FF 25?

I am using FF 25 on a Windows 7 Pro x64 system. Recently, I did an OS reinstall and with it a reinstall of Firefox. After importing my old profile, I noticed that the Adobe PDF create button was missing. This is a very handy application in my daily workflow.
Going to the Add-ons manager, I noticed that the Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.0 add on is disabled in FF 25. Why was support removed for this?
I tried using another PDF add-on, but it caused the browser to hang and it had to be removed. Is there a reliable option for saving a web page as a PDF? (other than using a Mac).

That message means the addon needs to be updated to be compatible with the latest version, if that addon is essential, you can revert to a older version.
* [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
* [[Re-enable add-ons that were disabled when updating Firefox]]
If the second article doesnt work, the above applies.

Why are the adobe pdf presets grayed out in photoshop?

Why are the adobe pdf presets grayed out in photoshop? I'm trying to save an image to "Press Quality" as a pdf and the settings are grayed out.

Maybe a screenshot of your Photoshop working area with the image opened, image tab and the layer panels showing might give us an idea. I can't guarantee that I can help, but someone might be familiar with the situation.
Also a screenshot of the Save as Adobe PDF and the PDF settings dialog as separate shots would also help as well. That way we see what you see.

How do I get the Adobe PDF Reader add-on to show up in IE9?

I want PDFs to open w/in the internet explorer 9 browser, but they won't. I've tried to enable the add-on in IE9, but it's not even listed.

The steps to enable the Adobe PDF plug-in vary depending on your version of Internet Explorer.
     Select Tools > Manage Add-ons. (Or choose Tools > Internet Options, click the Programs tab, then click Manage Add-ons.)
     In the Show pop-up menu, select All Add-ons. (In some versions the option is Add-ons That Have Been Used by Internet Explorer.)
     Scroll to the section of add-ons for Adobe Systems, and select Adobe PDF Reader.
     If the status of Adobe PDF Reader is set to Disabled, click the Enable button.

Adobe PDF Creation Add-On 9 install error

I have just upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit and was able to install Robohelp HTML without any problems. However, when I try to install the Adobe PDF Creation Add-On I get the following message: "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."
Since I rely on the PDF Creation Add-On to create PDF files I need to find a resolution to this problem. Is there a Window 7 version of the Robohelp installer that I can use?

Adobe PDF Reader Add-on - IE11

Hello,
I work in a government organization and we are about the deploy IE11 to all of our machines. We've encountered an issue with how IE11 opens PDF. We want the PDF to open in IE11, and not open a separate Adobe Reader application. The fix we found so far was to disable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, then re-enable. I also want to mention that we are pushing a group policy that does tweak a few settings. Here's what we are doing,
Pop-up allow list (several websites)
Prevent participation in the Customer Experience Improvement Program (enabled)
Turn off pop-up management (disabled)
Compatibility view
Use Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites - Enabled
Site to Zone Assignment List - Enabled
Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls - Enabled
Automatic prompting for file downloads - Enabled
Logon option - Enabled
Access data sources across domains - Enabled
Would any of these cause an issue with the Adobe PDF reader add-on? (We are using Adobe Reader 11.0.09
Thanks

I am starting to believe this issue may be a registry entry in HKCU as I can get the add-on to work for longer periods of time if I remove the user's profile from the local PC and then have them log in to build a new profile... the problem is that the add-on doesn't always continue to work, it just appears to work for a longer period of time before having to disable and enable the add-on again.
As far as my install package goes, I created a transform file using the Adobe Customization Wizard with the following options:

     Suppress display of EULA

     Make Reader the default PDF viewer
     Remove all versions

I then created a VB Script to run the msiexec and reference the .msi and .mst files. I created the SCCM package and program and reference the VB Script. The installation works and the modified settings are there, so I know the .mst file is being referenced as well. I'm still working on finding a resolution and hopefully one of us comes up with something solid soon.

Adobe PDF maker add-in for Word 2010 adding strange numbers to headings

Hi everyone,
I used the Adobe PDF maker add-in for Word 2010 to export a Word document to pdf. After saving the pdf, I noticed that the headings that are displayed in the navigaton pane now contain strange numbers, eg.
1.1 14BSecond level heading
1.2 15BSecond level heading
The above should be:
1.1 Second level heading
1.2 Second level heading
It's doing this for all second level headings in the document and when I save as a pdf file, these numbers are showing in the pdf bookmarks.
Does anyone know if this is a known bug with the pdf add-in and if yes, if there's any way to remove the numbers?
Thanks in advance.

I am experiencing a somewhat similar problem. In my case the unwanted numbers are being prepended to the running headers at the tops of the pages.
So for example, I have some Heading 1 text that says Verifying the Required Account Settings. But in the running header, this shows as 11BVerifying the Required Account Settings.
Unlike the original poster, the 11B does not appear in the text itself - only in the PDF generated by Acrobat's PDF Maker.
This occurs with this document when output from either Word 2007 or Word 2010 and Acrobat X.
Any suggested fixes? ...pt

Adobe PDF Reader add-on is not available.

I can't get the Adobe PDF Reader add-on to show up in any browser (Chrome or IE). It's not in any of the drop-downs under "Manage Add-ons" in IE. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. with no success.
Any ideas?

Hey Darcy,

Having to disable Adobe PDF Reader add-ons then enabling it.

After updating through 11.0.02 -> 11.0.03 -> 11.0.07 (Not currently on 11.0.10), and before I go any further, we also are using IE11 w/Enterprise Mode and the latest version of Chrome. Also, users have Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.09. PDF's are set to open in Adobe Reader. Well, after updating Adobe Reader with the versions mentioned above, a user will open IE or Chrome and click on a link that should open a .PDF in another window or give the option to download it. When this happens, sometimes all the content can't be interacted with or it just doesn't open. The ONLY way I know of to fix this is to go in to IE, manage add-ons or Chrome://plugins, disable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, close the browser, open the browser and enable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, restart the browser again. At that time, will the PDF's open properly.
Is there something that can be done to prevent this from happening? One of the reasons I don't like to push out Adobe Reader updates in our district during the school year is because of this reason.
Thanks

Problem creating PDF file using the Adobe PDF printer

Apologies if I have hit the wrong forum for this issue.
I am using Adode Acrbat 9 PRO version 9.4.6 on a Windows 7 SP1 machine.
I am running an application that presents information on web pages that I need to capture as pdf files. I am using an automation tool so it is limiting my posibilities of accomplishing this task.
I am attempting to use the Adobe PDF printer as the vehicle to create these PDF files but have encountered the following issues
The page is truncated on the right hand side
Only 1 page is created when I was expecting 7
I have specified a file path for the ADOBE PDF Output Folder ... C:\Windows\Temp and
checked the box "Add document information" but I am not given the opportuniy to enter a file name. It is using the file name from the URL
To verify my PDF content I used a different method to create the PDF from the same web page
Right click within the web page and select Convert to Adobe PDF. The pdf file has the full content with no truncation and is 7 pages in total.
Unfortunately I am unable to use this method with my automation tool
Any pointers will be gratefully received

Some progess
I changed the page orientation to landscape and that removed the truncation. I am not sure why it is not using the "shrink to fit" but for the purposes of this exercise I can live with this solution.
If I click Print Preview I can view all pages and then if I select the Print Icon I get a PDF file containing all pages. This is so bizarre.
So to recap
File > Print > Adobe PDF Printer only creates 1 page
File > Print Preview > Print Document (Alt +P) > Print >Adobe PDF Printer creates 7 pages
I guess this would be a good time to call support to see what they have to say on this topic.

I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files to into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "Error occurred while trying to access the file". WHY

I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack for $7.50/month (or $89.99/yr) but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "An error occurred while trying to access the service". WHY is this happening & How can I fix it?

Hi hpmg,
It seems you are trying to access the service via Adobe Reader. Make sure you are signed in with your Adobe ID. Is Reader updated to the latest patch v 11.0.09?
It might be possible that a firewall or antivirus might be breaking the connectivity from Reader to the server.
Try accessing the service from the browser: https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf and check if that works for you.

Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint. I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason. The error says "an unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF. How do I fix this?

Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.

I can not print an PDF using the Adobe PDF-Printer with Acrobat DC

Hi all,
i installed the Trial of Acrobat DC but it dont let me use the Adobe PDF-Printer well, because i cannot print from any third-party-application using Adobe PDF.
I tryed to print from within Word, Editor and Browser and selected the Adobe PDF-Printer as target, but at 75% both, the Application from which i print and the PDF-Creating-Wizzard are freezing (for hours) and i need to kill the procesed. No PDF-File is created. Same Problem with trying to print a Testfile from within the Windows-Printer-Dialogs.
Only Adobe DC cause this issue, if i use freeware like Bullzip PDF the files get created successfully, so i assume its not a generally problem with PDF on my system.
What could be the problem? (pls dont say its because of the trial, a trail should allow to test all features and Why should i buy a programm if it cannot do what a freeware can do?)

Hey Daniel,
Have you tried repair Adobe Acrobat DC?
If no, then please repair the installation under Help menu.
This could also happen due to an Adobe Acrobat DC installation file corruption. To resolve this issue :-
Uninstall Adobe Acrobat DC using the Acrobat cleaner utility.
Restart your computer.
Re-install Acrobat Acrobat DC Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC.
Let me know if the issue persist.

Can I install multiple instances of the Adobe PDF printer driver?

Our application allows printing to be directed to different folders depending on the document to be printed. However, the Adobe printer driver printing preferences directs the file to a specific location, so we have to store all documents in one folder. Is it possible to have multiple instances of the printer driver, for instance Adobe PDF 1, Adobe PDF 2, with the output folder set to a different location for each driver, or is there a simpler way of specifying the output folders?
Thanks

(Instructions for XP Pro and Acrobat 8.0)
Open the printers folder and click on Add a printer.
Click Next on the Welcome screen
Select 'Local Printer attached to this computer', uncheck Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer, click Next
Click on Create a new port, select 'Adobe PDF Port' from the list, click Next
Select the folder you want the PDF stored in, click OK
On the Install Printer Software screen click on Have Disk
Click on the Browse button and browse to 'Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\xtras\AdobePDF' (May be different for your setup)
Select the AdobePDF.inf (English version) and click OK
Select the Adobe PDF Convertor (there may be several listed, I always choose the top one) and click Next
If the Use Existing Driver dialog is displayed select 'Keep existing driver' click Next
Name the Printer i.e. Adobe PDF 1, click Next
Set the sharing options, print a test page if you wish and finish.
Now when you print to this printer from within an application it will create the PDF in the specified folder
You can repeat this process for a number of outputs.
Hope this helps

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update??

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox documents in my files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update? My saved files Adobe PDF documents also appear as Firefox documents instead of Adobe PDF files.

NO MATTER WHAT VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU'RE USING:
Right click one of the PDFs with the Word icon.
Select "Properties"
Where it says "Opens With" there is a button to change it from Word to Adobe Reader, which should be in the list of available programs that pops up.
Choose Reader, and click APPLY before clicking OK.
That will change ALL PDFs to Reader as the default application.
