The printer Adobe PDF not saving settings do not

I'm working on a Windows 7 machine and I can't seem to save the settings of the Adobe PDF printer. When in "Devices and printers" I right click on the 'Adobe PDF' printer and select "Print Options". In the Print Options window, it is sometimes a button 'Apply', when this window opens, the "Apply" button is already awaiting press opening, which is strange because no changes have been made to the settings but that should apply. When I try and change the 'Adobe PDF output folder' to record in, the 'Apply' button will sometimes gray and I can't tap it, other times it is clickable but does nothing (I go back in these settings and they have changed back to their default values after clicking 'Apply').

I'm having this problem on 2 machines running Windows 7 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.

All attempted to bugs, all unsuccessful:

-Updated Adobe Acrobat

-Removed and manually added Adobe PDF Printer Windows "devices and printers".

And one of the machines has a new installation of Acrobat 9 Pro, completely intact/unchanged and he immediately had the problem. I have several other machines with the same configuration (Win 7, Acrobat 9 Pro) and they all do not have this problem.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Dave

Okay, found the question so I thought I would post it here in case someone runs into it in the future.

It was a registry permissions problem. The user has not been permissioned to change the registry entry located at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\9.0\AdobePDFOutputFolder.

To FIX: Go to start--> type "regedit" in the search to access the registry editor and right-click on the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ folder, select 'permissions', search/add your username to the list of permits to users, ensure you are permissioned for "Total control" by checking the box under 'allow', click OK and you should be all set.

  • Printer Adobe PDF (copy 1) added for no reason. OXPS in PDF of print does not have all suddenly.

    I got a note that Acrobat DC updated this morning.  I have now two printer Adobe PDF on my system - the second one is called "Adobe PDF (1 copy).  If I try to print with the original ' Adobe PDF' printer, it works at all.

    If I try to print files OXPS using "Adobe PDF (copy 1)' - which is something I used to do all the time - the text becomes complete gibberish.

    Adobe has broken something and it must be fixed.  Yesterday, everything was fine.

    Thanks Nicknameforme.  No luck with these settings, but I was able to remedy.  Our problem was not confined to just OXPS.  It has been create/print to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer.

    Here is my assessment:

    PROBLEM / ISSUE:

    Windows 10 machines with Adobe Acrobat DC.

    There are files in the spooler of the Adobe PDF printer with errors.  Automatic update ran into Acrobat that could not fully remove/update the 'Adobe PDF' printer because of these queue files and created new printer 'Adobe PDF (copy 1)'.

    There was only 'Adobe PDF (copy 1)' in the devices & printers in the Control Panel, but both that and 'Adobe PDF' appear in the list of available printers when you print a document.  The 'copy 1' worked locally, but not save to a network drive.  The original of 'Adobe PDF' did nothing.

    SOLUTION:

    1. manually, clear the print spooler to remove old files stuck in the 'Adobe PDF' printer through the command prompt.  (These commands are for Windows 10. They will be different for earlier versions of Windows)

    -Start menu > right click on the app 'Command' and 'run as administrator '.

    -Type "Net Stop Spooler.

    -Press enter

    -Type ""del %systemroot%\System32\spool\printers\* /Q " "

    -Press enter

    -Type "Net Start Spooler".

    -Press enter

    2. remove the 'Adobe PDF (copy 1)' in devices and printers in Control Panel

    -Right click > "remove hardware".

    3 reboot (recommended)

    4. run the wizard to repair Acrobat.

    -Open Acrobat

    -Go to the Help menu > 'Repair Installation '.

    5 reboot (recommended)

  • Blue screen error when you try to print Adobe PDF files

    Original title: the computer crashes when I try to print Adobe PDF files.

    I unintalled and reinstalled remains 9.3.3 and it still won't print. The OS crashes when you try to print a .pdf file. I can open the document and view the file but not print, just the blue screen and restarts. I opened a word document, print and print text files. It will print anything but Adobe files. Is there any help out there?

    HonoriusIII

    Thank you for your support and help Sicard. I finally got to the last version of Adobe as the culprit. It seems that the latest version 9.3.3 was causing problems. I uninstalled the software, cleaned the registry and other remains and installed the various editions of Adobe. Seems that Vista likes only one software version which proved Adobe 8.0. Once I installed the software, found a few .pdf documents and tried to print. Not only did it print well, it was very fast. Of all the places to find the 8.0 Adobe has been installed on my recovery disks. I don't think Microsoft product (s) are the root cause. Something in Adobe was the cause of the crash. I have the error message has not write against accidents, but it dumped memory and restart is fine, no conflict of driver. Only thing I did after each accident was to defragment. the hard drive and RAM by using certain tools. Vista ran fine since. I know a lot of people out there do not like Vista, but I did have a lot of problems with the software. I found problems with other types of competing software and work with software developers using their products in beta. The crash of the problems were not these beta products. I believe in keeping software simple and effective, it seems that Adobe will conversely making it too complicated software and an application's entire concept.

    Thanks for you help,

  • 28 Firefox crashes when I try to print to the printer, Acrobat PDF

    Hi all!

    I observed a problem when I try to print a Web page in Firefox v28 using the printer of PDF Acrobat (Acrobat Pro 9.5.5) installed on a Virtual Machine (VMware View 5.2) with Windows 7 64 bit. Print dialog box crashes (no response) after the pdf dialog box "Save as." Then I have to force Firefox to close, and subsequently an Acrobat PDF conversion dialog box appears with the progress bar has stopped in the middle. I must also close it afterwards.

    The other programs (Office, IE, Notepad...) are able to print through the PDF printer without problem. The problem appeared after the automatic update of Firefox v28, since when I downgrade to Firefox v26 the problem disappears.

    I checked a setup similar to a physical computer (W7 64 bit, Acrobat Pro 9.5.5, v28 of Firefox), and everything works fine, so I think it's a change that's happened in Firefox v28 who has a problem with the configuration of the VM. I also tried to change the Firefox profile, reset Firefox and reset the print settings and reinstall Acrobat. No luck.

    I would like to know if anyone knows some changes in Firefox v28 printing or related to any service or update that may have a problem in the virtual machine.

    Any help is welcome!

    Thank you!

    I just try with Firefox 29 in the same virtual machine, and it works perfectly, so I guess that is a bug in version 28.

  • Cannot install the printer. The print processor does not exist.

    Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.  I am able to install HP LaserJet printers but no virtual printer.  I can not load the XPS from Windows printer or Print to OneNote.  I also tried to load more than one PDF printer and none of them work.  The error I keep gettig to "cannot install the printer.  The print processor does not exist. »

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    My laptop has been reloaded from a picture, and I was not able to start the print spooler at all. I have studied the issue and cleaned files and registry entries and was able to print on real printers, but not virtual. That's when I asked the question.

    Finished reimage the computer again, and once again, I could not start the print service. We discovered that the image that the laptop was built from was actually a VMWare virtual machine, so we started to look in that direction.   We had to delete the following entry in the registry and rebooting, how the print spooler began to work very well.

    [Print HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\ThinPrint for VMWare Port Monitor]

    You wanted to post this in case someone else ran into a similar problem.

    This is what worked for me.

    I copy the files from the print processor from another machine to work with the same architecture as the one who has the problem (x 86 or x 64).

    Step 1: Stop the print spooler service.

    Step 2: Copy all the files and folders on the system to work under C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64.

    Step 3: Make a backup of the system files listed in the C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64 problem.

    Step 4: Paste the files that you copy from the system of work in the case of the United Nations, the problem system.

    Step 5: Start the print spooler service.

    Try to connect or install your net printer and it should work now.

    I hope this work for all of you.

  • The printer door does not shut down after printing

    HP Envy110 model D411c.    I printed out a page, the door opened, the extension arm is released, but was partially blocked. The printed page in the status bar and was recovered, the extension arm retracted, but the printer door has not closed completely.  I printed the pages since then, everything works well except for the door.  It closed partially and stops.  No warning appears on the screen.  I have to close to allow the doors close. Help!

    OK, I have a solution thanks to the autonomy and the helpline UK. At least, it works for my desire 120th All In One.

    The door / cover will always return to the position where the task was started. I don't remember to start work with the Panel in the raised position, but apparently I did.

    Solution: With the printer, gently push the door closed. Now print or copy. As the work that started with the door closed, he will return to this position even when the work is completed.

    Why oh why is anybody's guess. Good luck!

  • Photosmart Premium C309-g: the drivers and the printer software will not be installed.

    My network all-in-one Photosmart Premium C309-g worked very well on my desk until recently, when suddenly the HP software could still see and connect to the printer, but Windows 10 could not. I tried to remove the printer and uninstall all associated software, then tried to reinstall the software. Unfortunately, the installation will not get to the point where it starts and then suddenly disappears with no trace of her still running in the background. I can deviate from the default installation and bring to the top of the page to select the components that I want to install, but when I do the button 'ok' on this page does not work. No matter how many times I click on it, the page remains open and the installation will not so fast. If I click Cancel on this page, it disappears and the installation back to the previous page, where I can choose to continue and happen almost immediately out of sight again. This happens whenever I try to install selected software and drivers. I deleted the printer from the devices page in the Panel, I made sure to this it is not is more listed in the Manager of peripheral devices (printers and imaging devices), I removed the Windows 10 print queue and I deleted all the data of the folder under the Program Files (x 86) HP folder on my hard drive. I also disabled Windows Defender and run the installer as administrator, yet none of these steps help the process at all. I have never, in my 20 + years using nothing other than printers HP, encountered a problem like this. I'm used to receive error messages during the installation of software to fail, but I have never had a process simply disappear from the computer without leaving any trace of never having run. I hope that someone out there has an idea, that I have not thought yet, transferring files to my tablet to print from becomes a pain in the rear.

    A man who took the freedom of another man is a prisoner of hatred, he is locked behind bars of prejudices and narrow-mindedness. I am not truly free if I take freedom away from someone else, as surely as I am not free when my freedom is taken from me. The oppressed and the oppressor similar are stripped of their humanity.

    Welcome to the HP Forums @GarfieldFan1969,

    I understand the printing software will not fully installed for your Photosmart C309 on your system Windows 10, and I wanted to answer with my suggestions for trying to help! Here are my suggestions for you to try. When you are finished, please let me know the results and problems or errors that you may encounter!

    First step: clean boot, restart the PC and try the install again.

    1. start by typing "msconfig" in the search box of Cortana, and then click MSConfig (run command)
    On your keyboard press Windows + R key at same time and type Msconfig in the run window, and then click OK or press ENTER.

    2. now, choose Selective startup

    3. Remove the check of the Load Startup items

    4. click on the Services tab

    5. check "hide all Microsoft Services" and then click on disable all

    6. click apply , then OK

    7 restart the PC and temporarily disable firewalls or antivirus programs

    8 run the Installation Wizard for Windows HP printer to install the printer

    9 turn on the firewall and start services

    Second step: you unregister and re-register the Windows Installer Service:

    1. hold down the Windows key + R to fill the box "Run" and type cmd.exe, and then click OK.
    2. at the command prompt, type msiexec /Unregister , and then press ENTER.
    3. at the command prompt, type msiexec/regserver, and then press ENTER.
    4. at the command prompt, type exit and press ENTER to close the command prompt.
    5. run the Wizard for Windows HP printer installation

    Step 3: run System File Checker Scan (up to 3 times) to repair the corrupted system files:
    1. go to start
    2. type CMD
    3 right-click and run as administrator
    4. to check and repair the OS type sfc/scannow (note the space between sfc and ' / ')

    You may need to run this upward to 3 times to solve all the problems

    When finished, it will say one of three things
    Windows did not find any breach of integrity (a good thing)
    Windows resource protection found corrupt files and repair the (good)
    Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some (or all) of them (not a good thing)

    Try to reinstall the printer.

    Step 4: activate the built-in Windows administrator account

    source

    1. first of all, you'll need to open an administrator mode command prompt by right-clicking and choosing "run as Administrator" (or use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Enter in the search box).

    Note that it works the same in all versions of Windows. It just search for cmd and then do a right-click on the icon of the command prompt in the start menu or the boot screen.

    2. If you are in Windows 8.x or 10 you can click on the Start button and choose to open a command prompt in this way.

    3. now type the following command:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes

    4. you should see a message that the command completed successfully. Log out, and you will now see the administrator as a choice account.

    (Note that this screenshot is for Vista, but it works on Windows 7 and Windows 8 and Windows 10)

    You will notice that there is no password for this account, so if you want to leave it enabled, you must change the password.

    Try to reinstall the printer.
