Adobe PDF Printer on Mac

[Tech-nol]

Adobe PDF is not showing as a print option On Mac

Hi!

I hope you are doing well.

The Adobe PDF printer is not available on Mac. However, you can use the Save As Adobe PDF option to print a file to PDF on Mac.

1. Open a file in a Mac OS application.
2. Click the PDF button and choose Save As Adobe PDF.
3. Choose the Adobe PDF Settings and click Continue.
4. Type a name for your file, and click Save.

Note:

In macOS Mojave (v10.14), when you try to print a document to PDF using the System Print Dialog > Save As Adobe PDF, the following error message is displayed: "This workflow contains the action Save As Adobe PDF, which is provided by a third party. Third-party actions must be explicitly enabled."

To resolve this error, see this article: Error in saving as Adobe PDF | macOS Mojave 10.14

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

To be more specific, the Adobe PDF printer was dropped from the Acrobat product on MacOS a number of years ago when Apple removed Adobe's ability to provide such a feature.

Hi SkipT,

Thank you for reaching out.

Could you please explain more about the PDF button you are referring to?

Are you asking about the buttons added to the PDF? More details would be helpful to provide you the correct information. 

Thanks,

Meenakshi
