I am from Japan.

AllowPSFileOps (Mac OS Sierra, Acrobat DC)

Thank you very much for many reply.

But, I misunderstood it.

Now, I try it Acrobat X on OS X Sierra (not Acrobat DC).

Acrobat X worked on Sierra because I created dummy folders bellow.

sudo mkdir -p /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle

---

OK (-F option  unused):

sudo /Applications/Adobe\ Acrobat\ X\ Pro/Acrobat\ Distiller.app/Contents/MacOS/Distiller /Users/aoki/foo/bar.eps

The created PDF has the permission `root/weel'.

Error (-F option used):

/Applications/Adobe\ Acrobat\ X\ Pro/Acrobat\ Distiller.app/Contents/MacOS/Distiller -F /Users/aoki/foo/bar.eps

Error (-F option used):

open -a Acrobat\ Distiller.app -F /Users/aoki/foo/bar.eps

Distiller says:

%%[ Error: undefinedfilename; OffendingCommand: run ]%%

`bar.eps' includes in a part:

(/Users/aoki/foo/common/HEAD.eps) run

---

Then, must I invoke Distiller every EPS files?

Sincerely,

AOKI Yoshihiro

I tried it once again with the newest Acrobat Distiller DC (Pro 17.009.20044)  and Sierra (10.12.2).

(1)

/Applications/Adobe\ Acrobat\ DC/Acrobat\ Distiller.app/Contents/MacOS/Distiller -F /Users/aoki/foo/bar.eps

(2)

open -a Acrobat\ Distiller -F /Users/aoki/foo/bar.eps

but Distiller says:

%%[ Error: undefinedfilename; OffendingCommand: run ]%%

Stack:

(/Users/aoki/foo/common/HEAD.eps)

I want to solve this problem somehow.

Sincerely,

I am having the same issue with Distiller 2020 on the Mac.

I have modified the user preference of com.adobe.distiller2020.plist for the key AllowPSFileOps to be "true"

Invoke Distiller and it always resets the preference key to be "false"

 

===

I tried the preference thing and then invoking the Distiller from the command line using:

/Applications/Adobe\ Acrobat\ 2020/Acrobat\ Distiller.app/Contents/MacOS/Distiller -F

    or

/Applications/Adobe\ Acrobat\ 2020/Acrobat\ Distiller.app/Contents/MacOS/Distiller -allowfileops

 

===

 

None of which works.

 

Adobe please assist
