Cannot find the Adobe PDF printer
I'm trying to convert a Word document to PDF by right-clicking a Word document and it saying to convert to Adobe PDF. I get the error message "cannot find the printer 'Adobe PDF' or"Acrobat Distiller". You want to run the installer in repair mode? "I try to run the repair mode and it will work the repair mode, but nothing changes. Also, I used to have an Adobe tab in my Microsoft Word program, but it's over. All these problems started when I got a new computer that is running Windows 7. Any idea on how to solve this problem? Now I'll have to use PDF Complete, but I prefer to use my Adobe!
No, but you may need to do some work to get AA8 to work on your system. The first step is to update, currently in 8.3.1 (you have 8.0.0 that maybe your problem). AA8 is not certified for use on Win7, but several people have managed to make him run. However, you may encounter hickups sometimes even if it runs. In the meantime, try to open the document in WORD and print it on the Adobe PDF printer. If it works, you have at least one method of production.
The next step is to understand why PDF Maker does not work. To do this, open the document in WORD, and make sure that the Adobe menu appears. In WORD 2007, it will probably be the right most of the Acrobat named menu item (which is on my WORD 2007 with AA8 system, although this is a VISTA machine). If this menu does not appear, then the macro from Adobe in WORD must be enabled.
If the printer is not running, then the additional work is needed. Let us know what is the current state, and then we can go from there.

Hello
I'll print a brochure in a brochure. Therefore, I must save it as a PostScript file.

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extender. When I try to convert a Word file to PDF that says that it cannot find the drivers from the Adobe PDF printer and reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9.0. In addition, when I open just the program Acrobat 9 Pro Extender an error message comes up saying that a part of the Capture 3D plugin has been damaged. I went to customer service and they sent me here. Please tell me that this is not another race. I'm running out of patience! I have 10 window.
Acrobat 9 is quite old and not longer supported. The last Windows OS that could use Acrobat 9 has Windows 7 and Acrobat had to have all updates applied.
You need to upgrade to Acrobat DC.

PCL file sent to the Adobe PDF print driver
After you install Adobe Acrobat DC, the Adobe PDF printer is created in devices and printers, but when I sent a PCL file to the Adobe PDF printer, nothing happens. Is there a plugin available to the Adobe PDF printer manage inputs for the PCL file?
Thank you
Mike
No, it's a PostScript printer driver and the back-end (Acrobat Distiller) converts only PostScript to PDF. Adobe have no any PCL to PDF Converter.

Try installing Adobe Acrobat Version 7.0 on a new PC running Windows 7. Get the error message-
"Attention 20225. Adobe Acrobat7.0 failed to create a new item. Adobe PDF Port / printer. The Adobe PDF printer may be unavailable."
any help appreciated
On behalf of Adobe, no version of Acrobat before 8.1 is completely installable or useable on any version of Windows beyond Windows XP. There are fundamental differences in the way that the Adobe PDF printer is installed and accessible on later (1) Windows Vista and/or (2) 64 - bit versions of Windows. In addition, Acrobat 7 coordinates with all recent versions of all Microsoft Office applications. You need Acrobat DC licenses at this stage.

Problem with InfoPath via the Adobe pdf printer print
Hello
It seems that in some cases to the printer Adobe pdf makes the text box a little narrower than THE InfoPath. So we have packaging Word and number of lines in the PDF can be only in the InfoPath form. But the output area is not resolved. So the end of the text may be corrupted:
I checked this approach, but it does not help:
https://helpx.Adobe.com/Acrobat/KB/missing-or-garbled-text-printing.html
The same behavior is with different IEs.
Could you please help to solve this problem?
Must be a bug in InfoPath from the Adobe PDF printer simply reports the available printer box and print what they say in print, where it says print. Could be a problem with the printer driver change. Try to set default Adobe PDF before you start InfoPath, might work.

Updates are essential when you use an older version. Even older versions can be implemented in 32-bit systems, but must have workarounds. However, people have reported success for AA8 with systems 32 and 64-bit, but critical updates.
