Windows 8.1 Adobe CS6 Adobe PDF printer broken after sysprep

Windows 8.1 enterprise 64 bit with CU1 installed. Ran sysprep priror to install. Installed Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6 & Premiere Pro CS6. The Adobe PDF printer is working with UAC enabled threw all PC accounts. Ran sysprep (standard generalize, skip rearm, & skip all win 8.1 questions) with UAC disabled since bat files will not run with UAC enabled. After UAC is enabled you can't print using the Adobe PDF printer unless running from Administrator account or by disabling UAC. We also have Adobe CC except the instructor is currently teaching CS6 suites. I tested acrobat 10.0.0 & 10.11.1 same problem after sysprep.

Have you tried running Process Monitor to see where the permissions problems are occurring?

  • Firefox v33 knocked out my Adobe 7 pro PDF printer plugin. PDFs print OK from other applications.

    Firefox v33 knocked out my Adobe 7 pro PDF printer plugin. PDFs print OK from other applications. It happened a few times randomly, and it seemed to resolve spontaneously, but now it is persistent.
    I've done scans for malware, which I suspected, but nothing showed up, nor corrected it with cleaning.
    I had this problem before, and I found directions on how to rest the printer within Firefox, but I've forgotten how or where I got it.
    I did try to re-install in control panel, but this appears to be a firefox issue. How do i rest the plugin or Firefox to once again print PDFs from browser pages. I need to use this feature printing receipts etc.

    Are you using a toolbar button (Create PDF extension) or a printer driver (selecting Adobe PDF or Distiller in the Print dialog) to generate the PDF? Older versions of Create PDF have been reported not to work any more (by older I mean from Acrobat X or earlier), but the printing method should still work.

  • Compatibility of IE9 with Adobe Acrobat 9 PDF printer

    Hello,
    I know from reading this document that the Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker is not supported in IE9:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
    Does this only apply to the PDFMaker utility located within the browser, or does it also apply to the Adobe PDF printer that is available as a choice if I try to print a webpage?
    I ask because every time I try to print a webpage to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer (NOT the PDFMaker) using the following sequence of steps:
    1. right clicking on the page
    2. clicking "Print...",
    3. selecting "Adobe PDF" from the list of printers
    4. choosing a location for the destination .pdf file
    4. click "Print"
    a window pops up with the title "Creating Adobe PDF", but the progress bar never fills up and the PDF file is never created.  There is a spinning Adobe logo and a printer icon in the system tray.  If I double click on the printer icon, I can see the document I sent to the Adobe PDF printer.  The status is "Spooling".  Occasionallly the PDF document will eventually be created, but usually it isn't.
    I have better luck in Chrome, but sometimes it too hangs, although the documents are eventually created.
    Here are my specs:
    Windows Vista Business 64-bit
    IE 9.0.8112.16421 (both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions experience the problem)
    Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.5.5
    To summarize:
    Printing to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer and IE9 causes the "Creating Adobe PDF" step to hang forever.  I know IE9 is not compatible with PDFMaker, but what about the Adobe PDF printer?

    Hi,
    I believe I am having similar issues to yourself. I have been looking for solutions for a day or two now but can not find anything. Have you managed to find a resolution or work around?

  • Adobe PDF Printer disappearing after 9.4.2 update

    A few hours ago I updated Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to 9.4.2, supposedly coming from 9.4.1.
    Since then the Adobe PDF Printer is no longer available among my printer options. That is for all applications: Adobe Acrobat, InDesign, Preview or ArchiCAD 14.
    It seems there's a similar issue with the 9.4.2 Windows upgrade (see Acrobat Windows forums). What now? Deinstall Acrobat? Or how do I revert to a older version?!
    MacBookPro 2009 (5,3), Mac OS X.6.6.

    Ditto...
    This is a whole lot of pain  unfortunately. I am sitting here lamenting why oh why did I upgrade?? But then it can only improve right? Whats the harm? Surely this will make things better? After all, it didn't really point out that the Acrobat Printer would no longer be available. I will never again do an upgrade on Acrobat as it has done this  to me before previously and it was a pain to sort out!
    Graphics users need the Adobe Acrobat PS Printer as without this we are  not able to set document parametres for print iro commercial printing.  Crop marks, page size, reg marks etc. Which can only be accessed via the  software once the Acrobat PS Printer output option has been selected.
    Simply selecting create Postscript file or PDF.... has none of those  attributes and is probably less useful than a chocolate teapot.  certainly not a "Pro" - "Professional" option, but rather meant for the  masses who have basic Acrobat requirements.
    I don't really care to get into the realms as to who did what and  whether it was Apples security option or Adobe's upgarde. This outcome  is going to upset a lot of graphics users who have paid good money for  this package as it was originally intended (for the professional with  professional requirements ie PS options) and I for one am annoyed at  software companies changing the rules as time goes on. Its the consumer  that keeps being inconvenienced all the time.
    If memory recalls, we have to totally uninstall and reload. But  theres a catch there somewhere if I remember correctly as the  uninstaller does not recognize certain files and if you apply the  reinstall using the older version of Acrobat, residual files from the  newer version create issues. Something like that. Not sure that makes sense to me either. But I remember theres a curve ball there somewhere...
    Going to be a long night!
    Rule for the future. Don't upgrade.

  • Adobe PDF Printer missing after update

    Yesterday I updated my Adobe Acrobat 9 software to version 9.5.3 but now my Adobe PDF printer has disappeared. I am running Windows 7 Professional 32 bits. I have many documents to convert into PDFs but now I am unable to since the update installed. Please help?

    Try repairing Acrobat installation - Open control panel, select Acrobat and chose the option to repair.

  • Adobe Reader 9 pdf printing turns text into symbols

    I am trying to print a pdf file, when it starts printing all of the text turns into random symbols, I am trying to print a rebate and this is really frustrating. I saved the online pdf to my HardDrive, then I try to print it after opening with Adobe Reader 9. I have tried printing it as an image, and still the same occurs, my printer is fine, it prints word documents and notepad perfectly, I have all the latest updates, so I do not know why this is happening.

    I do realize that not all printers are affected. However, the problem is clearly with Adobe Reader 9. The reason I say this is that the problem does NOT exist with Adobe Reader 8. The problem ONLY occurs with Adobe Reader 9. Furthermore, I am not sure what specific resolution to this printer you are referring to, but there hasn't been a solution presented thus far that is an actual fix for the problem. Originally, I identified that if I selected "Print to Image" the entire multi-page PDF would print as expected. Although, this solution causes the multi-page PDF to print very slowly (for the reasons noted by Mike). Another reader reported that if you install FoxIT PDF Reader, multi-page PDFs print just fine. I have verified that installing FoxIT Reader DOES INDEED allow me to print multi-page PDFs to our FS-C5015N. Again, if it was purely a driver issue, why would a multi-page PDF opened with FoxIT Reader print as expected while the same PDF opened with Adobe Reader 9, not print as expected? There also were a couple other posts about using the generic Kyocera KX driver. This is not an option for us. Finally, there was a post about changing the Post Script driver setings. We do not use the Post Script driver. And just as a side note, we have tried using the Post Script driver to see if this will resolve the multi-page PDF issue, and it does not. With that said, I implore Adobe to once again acknowledge this problem and provide users with a fix. This is a very frustrating problem.

  • Adobe PDF Printer gone after updating!?

    Good afternoon,
    My PDF Printer has literally disappeared after running the automatic update (9.4.4) early this morning.
    In fact, the sequence has been like this:
    1. Running InDesign so I keep on working on a project.
    2. Adobe updater pops up
    3. Since I was experimenting random and automatic "pauses" on the PDF printer, I decide it is a good idea to update in the hope this will fix the random pauses.
    4. Work nice as always. PDF creation goes fine, however, random pauses did not go away. Doesn't care too much, at the end it takes only a split second to "resume" the printer back and you're done.
    5. Out to lunch and back
    6. Open same InDesign doc to perform corrections as addressed in client email
    7. Go to print dialog box and... voila! PDF printer is gone...
    So, at this point, I go to the printer Apple pref pane and surprisingly, there is NO PDF Printer at all.
    Try to add one maually. Worthless, there is nothing to be added. I restart the iMac.
    Once back in, try the same. Nothing to add.
    Navigate through forums and the web and nothing seems to address such behavior.
    I decide to reinstall Acrobat from scratch using the CD. That is, to downgrade. Back to normality. Annoyed, indeed,
    So, Has anyone experienced such a thing? Any known solution?
    What about the random "pauses" or standby?
    Thanks in advance!!!  ;-)
    Juan.

    Thanks for posting Steve, I still have to deep-read these links you provided but I feel like the answer might be there...
    Yesterday, in the meantime, I was in a hurry so I just decide to re-install Acrobat from scratch wich blew away the issue.
    Seems like Acrobat 9.0.0 does well with MacOs 10.6.1
    As far as I have reade in the links, I understand that there will be no more PDF Printer in the future, am I right?
    And, I was just wondering, if it is so, we wont have to use Distiller anymore?
    Guess I have to invest sometime on this.
    Thanks!

  • How to install just the Adobe 7 Writer PDF printer

    In our environment we need to be able to print to PDF, but we also have a 3rd party formcreation software that needs Adobe 8 reader to capture digitized signagtures.
    After testing we have found out that we need to have the PDF printer functionality of Writer 7, and the digitized signature capture ability from 8.  Problem is that the 7 install (no matter ther order of installation) take priority over the 8 install and does not let us use 8 to sign the document.
    the ideal fix is being able to install just the pdf printer from 7 Writer.

  • Adobe CS3 missing PDF printer?

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to Leopard (via an erase and install) and loaded a student package of CS3 to my Powerbook G4. Everything seems to work great, except that I'm now unable to print to PDF from any Adobe program (particularly InDesign and Illustrator). I'm still able to export to PDF, but I'm not able to go to print, select Adobe PDF as my printer, and save as PDF from there as I could in CS2. The only printer that shows up in the print dialog is the PostScript, and the "Page Setup" and "Printers" buttons are grayed out. In non-Adobe programs (like MS Word), I am still able to save to PDF.
    Any ideas? I realize this is more of an Adobe question than a Mac question, but I couldn't make much sense of the Adobe website, and people here are always helpful.
    Thanks!

    Have you tried launching Acrobat and going to Help > Repair Acrobat Installation? This should install the Adobe PDF 8.0 Printer. Please note that this PDF Printer still works with PPC Macs, but not with Intel versions until Adobe produce the update, which is scheduled for later this month (January 2008).

  • Pdf prints broken characters

    I have a MacBookPro software Mountain Lion 10.8.3, Acrobat vs 10.1.7. Multiple-page pdf displays fine, prints broken characters??? Can I upgrade to Acrobat 11 to rectify problem? How?

    Not all pdfs, just this particular 48-page document. I am using an HP
    Officejet 6500A+ which has not had problems of this type in the past. The
    driver version is 4.1.1. Some of the characters aren¹t really broken BUT ARE
    MISSING when I try to print the pdf. (See copy attached with areas circled
    that are missing.) I ran a print quality diagnostic report and nothing was
    out of the ordinary, nor were any characters missing. (See second
    attachment.)
    I¹m hoping you can help me find a solution. I really need to print this
    document.

  • Adobe Acrobat X PDF Printer not printing to Network Share

    Until recently we have been able to print to PDF onto a network share/drive without an issue.  Now it does not work, and we are not sure if it is an antivirus blocking it or perhaps an Adobe update, or even a combination of the two.
    We can print to PDF fine to a local drive, or with an older version of Adobe Acrobat (8 or 9), just not with X.
    Has  anyone encountered this issue, or have any insight on what might be a solution to our problems?
    I have tried disabling all the antivirus services, but that had no change.
    I also reinstalled Adobe Acrobat X to see if it would work.
    Lyle

    I have just tried this, i.e.,  printing to a network shares (in this case a network share many miles away over a wireless internet connection from a hotel on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit), and have not been able to reproduce the problem.
    Please provide the particulars of your network shares. For what it is worth, the Adobe software simply creates and writes the file to whatever location you point to. It doesn't even know if the destination is local or remote or anything to do with the network topology if remote.
    You might also want to check any firewall software you might have installed to make sure that it is not blocking these remote file operations from Acrobat or any of its components.

  • Adobe X Standard PDF printing problems

    OK, this is a weird one.  I use Parallels to run my Windows applications, one of which is Adobe X Standard.  Anytime I print an Adobe PDF from a Windows based application, I get an error message that reads:
    "[Name of my document] could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files in the "PDF Document" format."
    And then, Mac's Numbers is automatically opened, without any trigger by me.
    Thoughts, anyone?  Your help would be most appreciated.

    It seems that your document is wrongly linked to an application
    Select its icon then press cmd + I
    You will get the info window.
    I guess that in the local menu "Open With" you will see "Numbers" when it would be "Preview" or "Adobe Reader" or "Skim" or …
    Navigate among the displayed list of apps, select the correct one.
    Click the button "Apply All".

  • Adobe CS6, Acrobat, Distiller & Print settings OK with Yosemite?

    Has anyone with CS6 using InDesign and Acrobat software upgraded to Yosemite? Were print settings affected? Distiller functioning properly? InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator OK? Thanks!!!@

    First you appear to be position in the forum. This forum is for Acrobat Distiller Server, not Acrobat Distiller on a Server. This is not a minor difference. Acrobat Distiller questions are handled in the Acrobat Windows or Acrobat Mac forum. Secondly, and more importantly, it is against the Acrobat license to use Acrobat and/or Distiller on a Server for the use of more than one person. The reason for this is that Adobe wishes to sell you products like Acrobat Distiller Server (now part of the LiveCycle Suite of products).
    Alas, I cannot help you with the problem you are having since I have never heard of the font that is causing you an issue. Perhaps it was a font installed on a printer attached to your old computer/server.
