Adobe Acrobat 9.0 "PDFMaker cannot find a print driver for Adobe PDF Printer" solution _adobe

"Problem Symptom"

After you install Adobe Acrobat perfessional 9.0, two buttons appear on the Office toolbar. Normally, you can click the button to convert the current Office document into a PDF document, as well as the two buttons in the IE toolbar and the right-click menu, which is handy for converting the Web page to PDF files.

The problem is: Web pages can be converted to PDF files, but Office documents cannot be converted to PDF documents, and each time you click the Convert to PDF button on Word, the pop-up dialog box "PDFMaker cannot find the print driver for the Adobe PDF Printer, Please reload Adobe Acrobat perfessional. ”

"Problem Analysis"

Adobe Acrobat transforms Office documents into PDF documents through a virtual print driver, which is "Adobe PDF Printer". Normally, when Adobe Acrobat is installed, you should be able to add a printer like "Adobe PDF Converter" in Control Panel-printers and Faxes, and if you do not have this printer, there is a problem with the print driver installation. A pop-up dialog box "PDFMaker cannot find the print driver for Adobe PDF Printer" appears when you change Office documents.

"Problem Solving"

To search for answers online, there are generally two solutions to start printer services or modify the PATH environment variables. Perhaps the original author of both approaches did solve the problem, but neither of my systems can be solved. It suddenly occurred to me that when I installed the HP printer, I could not find the file I needed, because I used the deep and compact operating system, and the system streamlined some of the files needed for the print driver. The problem-solving approach was then shifted to the operating system and a corresponding solution was found in the in-depth technical forum:

1. Manually add a printer to the Control Panel, select "Connect to local printer on this computer" and cancel "detect and install Plug and Play printer" selection, port select "Adobe PDF", if not this port, select Create New port.

2, the driver do not select in the list, but choose to install from disk, to the Acrobat folder under the Xtras subdirectory, find Adobepdf.inf (This is the key driver file):

C:/Program Files/adobe/acrobat 9.0/acrobat/xtras/adobepdf

Then install.

3, before the installation is complete, the system will copy some of the necessary files to install the driver, including two files: Pscript.hlp and APLWCSB1.PPD, and can not be ignored, otherwise the driver can not install correctly. Deep operating system is not (other operating systems I do not know, but the full installation of the non-compact version should be able to find), fortunately, a person on the Internet to provide these two files to download, after downloading these two files, assigned to the system corresponding address, you can complete the installation.

4, OK, now your printer finally appears Adobe PDF Converter, but this time the conversion button in office is still not normal use, still pop-up dialog box. The name of this printer must be renamed "Adobe PDF". In the rename, test the right menu and the conversion instructions in office, and finally successfully converted to success ... It feels good to convert Office documents and PDF documents at your whim ...

Can not say on the net said "change Path variable", "Start printer service" and other methods have no use, but to solve the problem to adhere to specific problems specific analysis of methods, other people's approach does not necessarily apply to your computer. I think this approach should be one of the most effective ways to solve the problems that arise.
