Acrobat Distiller 9 PDF PPD

[chris_zer]

Hey Guys.

A user has requested the acrobat 9 PPD to allow her to create a PDF from a postscript file.

It appears to have not been installed with CS4 on her Snow Leopard machine.

Googled high and low and the only PPD files I can locate for Adobe PDF is from as far back as 2002.

Many of the links on the adobe site seem to be dated or lead in loops or nowhere at all.

Can anyone link me or point me in the right direction of where I can find this PPD?

thanks

chris

Having the same issue. Can anyone help?

It is no longer used on the Snow Leopard OS. Use the Print>PDF (bottom left)>Save as Adobe PDF workflow. Apple changed the OS so that it is no longer possible to use the Adobe PDF Printer. Look at the article at the top of the Discussions page Known problems with Acrobat in Snow Leopard.

Thanks for the info.

In the past, I have always created a Postscript file from InDesign and then used Distiller to create a PDF file.  This can still be done in Snow Leopard, but the steps are a little different.  Go to the "Print" menu and select Adobe PDF 9.0 in the "Printer" window. Then click on the "Printer" window again, and this time select Postscript File. Now Postscript File appears in the "Printer" window, and Adobe PDF 9.0 appears in the "PPD" window. From there you apply all the necessary changes to Setup, Marks and Bleeds and so on.

I hope this helps.
