I installed 9. From there on Acrobat will update itself to 9. Bottom line: the options ONLY seems to get installed when updating from 9. It crashes. I really, really hope to find an answer, since I passed the old PC down.

OK — based on the advice here, I saved an Illustrator file as an eps file. Acrobat Distiller 9. Warnings: The total found in this document was 0. Violations: The total found in this document was 1. The pdf printer is no longer available and I am running a virtual windows machine on my MAC.

Any suggestions? After a couple of dialogue windows were answered, an error message appeared and the Acrobat PDF file was not printed. At the moment I cannot print Acrobat 9 pdf files by any route.

I found a pretty easy solution for printing booklets, although it requires getting a PlugIn for InDesign. It opens as an INDD file which it can then imposition.

That file in turn needs to be exported as a PDF. If you try to imposition the original document it will work unless you need pages numbers to stay put. What a relief to find something that actually works! Good luck. Thank you and I apologize for the desperate post. Hi all. The PDF files created that way are larger then the ones done trough distiller while using same distiller options , and there are some issues with fonts.

I do not have time to double check created PDFs. I have to trust the worflow. Thats why I:? I added folder action for that folder to automaticaly move all content to the desktop. Where are the options to set various parameters in the pdf file or are these set in the distiller prefs.

If so how can I then access distiller profiles. I am in the same boat as those above writing about printing booklets to a PDF. Since Adobe removed the ability to save a file into a booklet in CS3 you can only print it then printing to a PDF was the workaround.

I will not be suggesting the upgrade, we do too many books to justify the loss in feature. I was going crazy trying to print a darn booklet. My then Distilled PDF was imposed and printed correctly. I sure wish Apple and Adobe would quit worrying about who did what to whom first. How embarrassing. Then you have to gather them all up into one document.

The advantage of printing to postscript to create your ps file is that you had a lot more control over the end result and the ps file could be a multi page document. PPD did. Instead, it cuts of my document. My workflow absolutely requires postscript files to be distilled since I produce alot of newspaper ads for papers with 20yr old RIPS seriously. Any solid solutions beside reverting the system back from snow leopard to leopard and reinstalling CS4 entirely?

I have the macbook pro, with snow leopard. I almost went insane with this absurd problem, when i needed to print a booklet. I was using the cs5, and tried every manner to do it, but run in the same problems, no pdf, postscript with limited page size, and so on.

I had to install the cs4, and then download the adobe pdf printer driver, then print a postscript file using it, and finally converting pscript to pdf using the image viewer on mac. What a waste of time. This is what happens when a company doesnt have any competitor, they do this huge bloopers, and we dont have any other way to do the stuff we need. I should never rely on only one software…. No problem with the old method: Print to PDF, choose separations under the output options, and its good to go.

Now, I did read most of these replies, and it seems like the consensus is to print to a postscript file and make a PDF with Distiller. Sounds good, but the problem is the drop-down menu to choose color output is grayed out! I physically cannot choose Separations with any method.

Problems I found: 1. Without this PPD you can not set a custom paper size freely. Solution: 1. Or alternatively you can also use this PPD file from Adobe.

Now you can choose any paper size and save a. Kevin, I need your help please! I know you have a workaround available, and I would love to utilize it to get our users back to where they need to be. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated. My print dialog box does not exactly look the same as your screenshots. I am not getting any additional pop-up box allowing me to select an Adobe PDF setting and launch Acrobat. Nothing further happens at all.

Hoping there is a solution out there! Finally I can continue to send the raw postcript source through distiller in the OS X print dialogue and have a pdf show up on my desktop. I use a book app that has a custom print dialogue, and due to incompatibilities has removed all of the PDF drop down menus.

PDF agent is located here. This wonderful little script will re-install your printer driver for Acrobat 7, 8 or 9. Here are a few notes that led to my success. You need to disable the built in Acrobat Self Healing. Second, after you run the Install script, you will need to follow a few more directions to return the printer to your system preferences.

These are detailed at the end of the script, just follow accordingly. The first 2 steps worked, but the 3rd gave me an error about incorrect file type.

Viola, pdf postscript distiller printer back in the system preferences print panel. Works perfectly! Apple removed the ability for CUPS to save files in the users home directory in Unfortunately Adobe print saves the pdf file it generates to the desktop, which is in the users home directory, so without the cups support to write the file, adobe print was left without anyway to save what it had just generated.

I have exactly the same issue as the above posts with Quark 8. We process all our advertising pages by creating PS files and distilling. This is nothing new. Printing to PDF is something that is only necessary in very old workflows and is certainly not needed for PDFs that will be viewed on screen.

Adobe PDF? I work in quark as well as all the other adobe products. How do I get it to show up? Does that mean I have to use Acrobat for Windows then? Sorry to hear about the problem, but I doubt it has anything to do with the Mac either.

If so, check out the link to our forums above. Harley: When you choose that option from the menu, Apple? Many thanks for the clarification. Can you not then create an Adobe PDF? Here is my problem and how the smart asses at Adobe are tying to short cut thing changing the way things have been done for year successfully. Spend over 4 hours on this now with no real resolution in sight other than to delete all Adobe Acrobat off my system. Tried 9. Problem: I have 20 images all of various sizes that I was able to combine very easily into a PDf.

The solution previously would be to print to PDF and fit to printable area. In Arcobat non of the OSX print option work either, seems Adobe are more like what Microsoft use to be like, its our way or the highway.

Thanks for the heads up for this though. Great post. I still have my Windows 7 with CS4. On the windows platform I could take a gigantic file and distill it down into a teeny tiny pdf — under K that still looked great. I often want to take a ppi file and print it to 72ppi for web display and easy of sharing.

Michael: Not sure if your query has anything to do with InDesign. This is how I got around it for not being able to download and install any presets on school computer and only works if you have printers installed that can allow the changes you need to make. Print Booklet… 2. Save the file. This save me from beating my head repeatedly against my desk in frustration as the process I had always used failed again. So much for batch processing — thank you Apple and Adobe for working together to push me toward Windows.

I dont know if anyone realizes this but the option Adobe tells us to use to create PDFs without the Adobe 9. I found a guy who wrote me an Applescript to resort the PPD on the machine after the 9. I just wanted to say thank you for the link to PDF Agent. I disabled the self healing via the instructions on the first link found on google the same one James listed and followed the instructions up to the point of creating a new PDF printer.

I ended up uninstalling Acrobat pro 9. Previously I had QuarkXPress 6. I produce a lot of large museum graphics which require outputting as Press Quality PDFs at custom sizes, rarely at A4 size or derivatives of A4. Previously I used Quark 6. Click OK. This will create a Ps file. I bitched out the people at the apple support site. Then I got my user name, and found a solution to my problem but the link was broken.

So I certainly hope that this little item fixes my problem. How could they release a product that could not read pdf? My problem is that I cannot read a pdf page, because my screen turns black. Any hints out there of what to install so that I read my work instead relying on firefox?

I mean, really— Janelle Vigil. Hi, I hope my problems fit in this forum. It looks alright in Indesign, the preview is just as I want it but when I import the postscript file into Acrobat only 4 pages out of 8 appear and in the wrong order. Can anyone give me some clues as to what I can do to fix this? This has been a breeze in the past and now its gone? As far as I have read this new version on the MAC cannot perform this task anymore with any of these foolish work arounds listed above since I cannot specify my page size?

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to execute this once simple function in this new bogus version of Acrobat? If not — upgrading to a new stripped out version of Acrobat is useless — what a horrible version this is, all the important functionality is gone!

Acrobat has gone from savant to crackhead by eliminating these components…. My iPad must have upgraded itself because it suddenly refused to talk to my Powerbook any more; and my laptop also would not talk to my new iPod.

Consequently, I was forced to upgrade the system to Illustrator and InDesign would continue to work, which thankfully all did. All I get now are ghost images and text. Any simple answers? I used to be able to print to. Peeter: Does this work? Can someone help me with this? It worked before to allow for adjustments in the PS file. Recently updated to OS Please log in again.

For the chance to glimpse this near mythical beast, Tesson and his companions must wait for hours without making a sound or a movement, enduring the thin air and brutal cold. Their vigil becomes an act of faith--many have pursued the snow leopard for years without seeing it--and as they keep their watch, Tesson comes to embrace the virtues of patience and silence.

His faith is rewarded when the snow leopard, the spirit of the mountain, reveals itself: an embodiment of what we have surrendered in our contemporary lives.

And the simple act of waiting proves to be an antidote to the frenzy of our times. A celebration of the power and grace of the wild, and a requiem for the world's vanishing places, The Art of Patience is a revelatory account of the communion between nature and the human heart.

Sylvain Tesson has written a new masterpiece on the relationship between man and beast in prose as sublime as the wilderness that inspired it.

As the Snow Leopard's earthly life begins to wane, she searches for a pure and incorruptible soul to pass her knowledge and power to in order that the hidden valley can remain safe.

For the Mergich Realm, the sacred and secret place guarded by spirits in animal form, is under threat from those from outside who would seek to exploit its riches. A tale of magic and myth set amongst the Himalayan mountains, Jackie's glorious illustrations and lyrical text are now returned to print in a new, larger, high-production format.

This ethnography examines the uneven distribution of costs and benefits involved in snow leopard conservation and shows that for the conservation of nature to be successful, the vision, interests, and priorities of those most affected by conservation policies—in this case, local farmers—must be addressed.

The Snow Leopard and the Goat demonstrates that characterizing this conflict as one between humans farmers and wildlife snow leopards is misleading, as the real conflict is between two human groups—farmers and conservationists—who see the snow leopard differently.

Like no other large cat, the snow leopard evokes a sense of myth and mysticism, strength and spirit shrouded in a snowy veil, seldom seen but always present. Giving a voice to the snow leopard, this collection of powerful first person accounts from an impressive cadre of scientist-adventurers grants readers a rare glimpse of this elusive cat and the remarkable lives of those personally connected to its future.

These Stories from the Roof of the World resonate with adventure, danger, discovery, and most importantly hope for this magnificent big cat. Very little has been written about this mystical creature. Its remote and rugged habitat among the mightiest collection of mountains on Earth, proclaimed "The Roof of the World" by awe-struck explorers, make it one of the most difficult and expensive animals to study.

After a millennia thriving in peaceful isolation, human encroachment, poaching and climate change threaten the snow leopards survival. Speaking on behalf of the snow leopard, these heart-felt stories will inform and inspire readers, creating the vital connection needed to move people toward action in saving this magnificent cat.
