Parameters predefined Adobe PDF removed Mac today!

All of a sudden I can no longer export to PDF and select one of several preset PDF from Adobe.  This feature, which I use every day for many years, has simply disappeared this morning.  I worked with the support of 35 minutes to try to solve the problem, only to be told in other words has been deleted today and you want to print to a PostScript file and distill the file then.  What?  I lost half an hour with Support, downloading a file that has nothing, then they give me this BS workaround solution I already knew!   And export to PDF works always, just, without convenient presets, so even in charge has no idea what they are talking about.

Why wouldn't Adobe just told me they took the feature, instead of pretending they were going to help me and wasting my time.  I tried to get more information, but the person chat just me disconnected.  Arrrggghhhh!

The option to PRINT to PDF on mac was dead for several versions of Mac OS x, but it has nothing to do with presets or the ability to EXPORT to PDF. That the rep is stupid and should be fired.

Upgrading operating system may have harmful effects on installed software, especially the Adobe products and especially if you have an upgrade on the spot instead of a pure installed (which would require a new installation of the applications as well. You probably need to reinstall InDesign.

    Open the folder and just remove the Automator action if there are for Acrobat. And leave the only one in the system. Printing is a great thing system while in the system should work.

    (don't remove any of them until see you if everything works

    (Please note the information is given by an experienced user of Acrobat.) I'm not an Adobe employee).

    There are two ways to create a PDF on a Mac:

    (1) you can use the default method, which is to choose file > print. Click on the PDF menu below on the left, then click on save as PDF. This lets you name and save the PDF file using the mechanism of OS X to create PDF files.

    (2) in the same menu, you can save in Adobe PDF format. It runs a script (a little slow) that lets choose you what PDF settings file you want to use. This is the Adobe-developed mechanism that replaces the old Virtual PDF printer.

  • Fusion 3 - printing to Adobe PDF 8.0 error (Distiller) on host Mac

    Windows 7 VM on MacBook Pro4, 1, 4 GB of RAM, Mac OS X 10.6.1.

    Attempts to print from Windows on Acrobat 8 (Distiller) as a network printer on the Mac failed with the error message (in the queue), "error: / usr/libexec/cups/filter/thnucups failed." However, printing to a physical printer (lj1220) connected via the time capsule works.

    Can anyone offer a solution?

    I tried printing from other applications (such as TextEdit) to the Adobe PDF printer, and it does not work either. It works in some way for you?

    Apparently, Adobe no longer supports the stand-alone PDF printer on 10.6, please see the following TechNote:

    Acrobat 9 "Save as Adobe PDF" supported in Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6)

    The "security devices" they mention are probably the same ones that require workarounds to get CUPS-PDF for work.

    Unfortunately, as the feature "Save as Adobe PDF" update is not a separate printer, it won't be visible to ThinPrint, and it is not possible to print to this virtual machines (just as it is not possible to share and print on a network).

  • "Save as Adobe PDF" missing from the dialog box print from Mac

    I've just upgraded to a new machine, and the "Save as Adobe PDF" option is missing in the PDF menu in the print dialog.  I'm on Mac OS 10.8.3 and SC 6.  I think that Acrobat X is supposed to automatically install this option in the main print dialog box; What can I do to get it installed if he stays out of the initial CS6 displays?

    I don't think that the Automator application is obsolete. It works for me on two computers that are running the latest version of Mac OS X 10.8.3 and Acrobat Pro XI. Maybe there is a problem with Acrobat X Pro and Mac OS X 10.8.3.

    You can try to uninstall Acrobat X Pro and reinstall to see if the Automator application works.

    Additionally, make sure that you update Acrobat X Pro to the last update.

  • 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.

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

    I use 25 FF on Windows 7 Pro x 64 system. Recently, I did a reinstall of the OS and with it a reinstall of Firefox. After importing my old profile, I noticed that the Adobe PDF create button was missing. It is a very useful application in my daily work.

    Going to the Add-ons Manager, I noticed that the Adobe Acrobat - create PDF 1.0 add on is disabled in 25 FF. Why support has been removed for this?

    I tried to use another Add on PDF, but it caused the browser hanging and it had to be removed. Is there a reliable option to save a web page to PDF? (other than the use of a Mac).

    This means that the addon message must be updated to be compatible with the latest version, if this addon is essential, you can revert to a previous version.

    If the second section does not work, the foregoing applies.

  • My Adobe PDF form appears blank

    My Adobe PDF form is sent as an attachment to e-mail. With the earlier version in IOS IPhone when I opened the PDF via Adobe Acrobat form would show all of the populated fields.

    With the new update, the form displayed in white... the fields appear not Populated unless I have the highlighted cell.  Once the cell is closed, the cell it turns off again.

    FYI on a Windows PC or Mac laptop to the PDF is filled.   It seems to be a problem of IOS. How can I change or difficulty to form be completely visible on the IPhone?

    Hello

    We have received your PDF form by e-mail.  Thank you!

    First of all, I opened your PDF form in the version of Acrobat Reader DC Office on a Mac computer.  The populated fields seemed empty as well.

    The Document Properties dialog box (file > properties...) shows that the PDF form was generated by Mac OS X 10.11.1. Quartz PDFContext.

    PDF forms generated by the Apple products or filled in Apple Preview (desktop application) contain invalid entries that cause fields populated to appear empty.

    To repair the existing defective PDF form

    • Open the PDF form in Acrobat Reader (mobile app or desktop), click on / tap each field populated, add space and remove the space.  (This fixes an individual field).
    • Open the PDF form in Acrobat Professional or Standard (desktop app paid), delete all the text fields, then fill out the form again.

    In the future, it is recommended

    • Avoid using Apple Preview (desktop application) on a Mac computer to fill in PDF Forms.
    • Use Acrobat Reader app for iOS or Android to fill PDF Forms.
    • Use the desktop version of Acrobat Reader DC on a Mac or Windows computer to fill PDF Forms.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I'm trying to convert my book in PDF format using the parameters provided by the manufacturer of book.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

    Yes, very simple.

    Distiller converts PostScript files to PDF. It is impossible to convert Word Documents to PDF files. You got an error because you tried to feed to distill a .docx instead of a PostScript (.ps) file file.

    You create a PDF from Word of in Word itself of the print dialog box by using the Adobe PDF option (at the bottom of the print dialog box).
