Acrobat 9 Pro - How to reinstall PDF Printer Driver?

Jun 1, 2010 2:57 AM

Hi,

 

I'm using an Apple MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard).

I have installed Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium and Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium.

 

Suddenly since this morning I cannot use the Adobe 9 Pro printer driver anymore (and also the one from Adobe 8).

 

Now I am searching for a way to reinstall the printer driver but I couldn't find out how to do this.

 

I remembered that on Windows it is possible to repair the installation but when I do this on my Mac, I only find an option regarding Safari, which is not helping at all.

 

One more thing:

By now I deleted all printer drivers from Mac, and tried to reinstall them. The system found the one for Acrobat 8 (although it's still not working) but didn't find the one for Acrobat 9 at all... How do I reinstall this driver...?

 

Any help is much appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Wolfgang

    Funny, I just found this tech note:

    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html

    The Adobe PDF Printer is not available or is unusable in Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6). This situation is due to security features in Snow Leopard that disable the Adobe PDF Printer. Adobe Acrobat 9.1 Pro removes the Adobe PDF Printer and adds a new Save As Adobe PDF command. Customers using earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat in Snow Leopard cannot use the Adobe PDF Printer.

     

    Does this also affect Acrobat 8 then...?

     

    Best,

    Wolfgang
