Print to File Acrobat Pro X for OS/Mac

Jan 31, 2012 8:50 AM

Categories: Macintosh Tags: #acrobat #x #for #pro #mac

Opened a file and edited within Acrobat Pro X for OS/Mac.

 

I added stamps and text boxes.

 

Within Windows computer I would go to print, Adobe File.

 

When I do the same with in Mac, it read "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."

 

When I follow this procedure, the text boxes and stamps are editable.

 

I want to save / print the file, so file is "locked" meaning text boxes and stamps are not editable.

 

How is this done???

    A better approach is to flatten the flatten the pages, which converts the comment annotation appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with the following JavaScript statement executed in the interactive JavaScript console (command+J):

     

    // Flatten all pages

    flattenPages()

     

     

    Even better is the following JavaScript-based utility: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

    I've never done this.

     

    I did "command J"

     

    what do I do after I enter "// Flatten all pages"

    Open pdf. Go to Tools->Actions->Create New Action.

    In the dialog that appears, select Content and there you'll see Flatten Layers. Create an action from there and once done, use that action from Tools->Actions menu to flatten pages.
