How to create a second Adobe PDF printer with different parameters?
Hi all
I know that it is possible to create copies more or less unlimited normal printers under Windows (XP SP2) which each have their own settings. Very useful for standard jobs that require special configurations.
We want to use the same technique for the creation of PDF. Now, I'm wondering how to create a second Adobe PDF printer?
I try to create a new printer on the printer port "my Documents\ * .pdf" which is used by the existing printer, but I wonder what driver to use. Unfortunately there is no Adobe entry in the list and I can not find manually, either.
We are still on Acrobat 8 (Professional)
Any tips?
Thank you very much
Mike
The easiest way is to add a generic printer driver. Then enter the properties, change the name and set up the port and in the printer driver. Then edit the remaining properties. You may need to leave after selecting Properties and then open back for these properties took effect. If you are looking for using the PDF Maker printer you should change the name to Adobe PDF, and you can have one of these. For use as a printer, then the other name will work fine.
It's been a while since I've done this type of addition, but it worked when I did it.

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.

How to change the size of the page Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and Adobe PDF printer?
We have a problem with incorrect page size in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. It is installed in our Citrix environment on the terminal Server in Windows 2008 R2 servers.
By default, the page size is set to 'letter' in Adobe Acrobat format and the Adobe PDF printer and we need to change it to "A4".
Where are these registered setting and how can I change it? Is there a registry key or something else?
I discovered, that it is possible to edit the template files ".joboptions" under "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings" to change the page size for the Adobe Acrobat. What is the only way to do it?
But how can I change the settings in the Adobe PDF printer?
And what do we hurt that the page size is set to "letter"?
OK, I found a solution.
I exported the correct Adobe PDF Printer settings with rundll32.exe, PrintUIEntry... and imported on all servers with PsExec.
".Joboptions" files, I changed to the good size of the Page and then copied on all servers.

How to stop the Popup Adobe when printing?
I am constantly creating PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. Create from several programs: Office Word, Excel, Paint, Etc. as well as AutoCADD. I create them using Adobe as a printer, so printing to PDF. Once the PDF has been created since the other program via Adobe printing, the new PDF opens for viewing. I'm ok with that; However I then click on another program and after a few seconds the PDF file appears again. Even if I close a few seconds later, he appears again. When I print several sheets of a program, I jump back and the popup function slows me down up to big-time or cause me to spoil the files I work with.
How to stop the Popup from Adobe?
You must check the program setting Distiller, the Adobe PDF printer properties and Acrobat PDF conversion settings and disable the "view PDF results.

Adobe PDF printer crashes when you paste into the file name field
Hello, first off there is no similar problem with all freeware pdf printers so I want to remove my config system as being the culprit. This only happens in Adobe PDF format.
How to reproduce the problem? Have something in your Clipboard and try to paste it into the file name field when you print the file in pdf format - you should have now crashed everything that you were trying to print and the program behind it.
Please make a fix for this, it is ridiculous that I have to install a second, freeware, pdf printer because thousand dollar software does not work properly. And I've lost tons of recipes and work this way.
Solution is not to copy and paste into the save box.
I found that this happens in programs other than Thunderbird and the reason why the freeware application works is that you paste into the window of the application instead of Windows' save box.

Printer Adobe PDF 'printing' corrupted characters
Acrobat Professional v9.5.0 (Acrobat reports there is no update available)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I print various applications and web pages on my 'Adobe PDF' printer to save things in the form of PDF files.
In the last months, I started having problems with my Adobe PDF printer. This problem has happened twice just yesterday, in fact.
I will be looking at a web page and choose to print it as a PDF (for example, an invoice). I provides the name of the file and choose to print and Acrobat to display the newly created PDF file, and there characters corrupted in various places.
If I try to print in PDF format again, I get the same results.
However, if I print the article in the Microsoft XPS format, it works very well and all the characters are readable.
I don't know what to do. I saw an article on embedding the fonts, but it seems that all the standard "web safe fonts" are already set to be incorporated into the PDF file through Distiller (if that is what is doing printing to create the PDF file). If I have to choose fonts to embed in the PDF, it seems extremely difficult to determine which fonts are used by each site or application by selecting all the manually to be incorporated into the files.
Surely, there must be a simpler solution to this question.
I too had this annoying problem, usually printing of https sites, although the address of the site could be a coincidence.
What worked for me was:
- Select Print
- In the print dialog box, select Adobe PDF , and then Preferences.
- In the Print Options dialog box, the tab should be Adobe PDF settings
- Clear the rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts
- Select OK
If the box is already disabled, it can be caused by something similar. It worked so I went no further. I have not yet checked to see if this must be done each time or how to do it by default.

InDesign cannot find the Adobe Pdf printer when saving as a postscript file
Hello
I'll print a brochure in a brochure. Therefore, I must save it as a PostScript file.
My problem is: when I go 'Print Settings' to get the right size of the pages, I can't find the printer that I used before "Adobe PDF". Instead, I have to choose a canon printer, which does not give me a format A3.
How can I fix?
See you soon
In OS X 10.7.3, the adobe pdf printer is not present so that you can have a wrkarounf to create the postscript file.
(1) quit InDesign.2) navigate to Applications/Adobe Indesign CS5/Presets /.(3) in the Presets', folder create a file called PPDs (the name of the file is case-sensitive).(4) control - click on the following link and choose Save link under download the Acrobat 9 PPD:
Acrobat 9 PPD(5) place a copy of the PPD downloaded into the folder created in step 3-After this restart the indesign.Chose the printer 'Postscript file', then PPD as "Adobe PDF 9.0" and make the postscript file.» -
Adobe PDF printer - control programmatically
Hello
I have an MS Access 2007 application that uses an Adobe printer to create PDF files. We're working for several years on XP machines but from where the PC upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit and MS Office 2010 32-bit it has stopped working.
The version of acrobat and distiller is 9. I used the registry change to specify the name of the file that I created as described in the guide to Distiller9APIReference http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/Distiller9APIReference.pdf page 15/16
Download
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl]
"C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe" =
'c:\MyPDFoutputFileName.pdf '.
Initially, I could specify the PDF file to create, and then wait for it to be created before moving the file to the server. Now even though the registry seems to be changed as before the user is now be prompted to enter a file name.
I printed the Adobe PDF through word and Notepad and they appear in the same registry, so I guess this isn't a registry problem 32-bit/64-bit.
Unfortunately I was not responsible for the earlier installation or current adobe products have so no idea which can be different between then. The name of the printer changed to Adobe for Adobe PDF if that makes a difference but I changed the code to call the new printer.
Any help on how to track down the issue would be more useful.
Nathan
The solution was in the registry after all.

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.
