AllowPSFileOps in Acrobat Pro 2020 Distiller in macos ventura

Like in 2021, the same question.

On macos, one cannot do    .../Distiller.app –F foo.eps

because there is no -F flag.

 

The AllowPSFileOps cannot be set to true because the file

com.adobe.distiller2020.plist

cannot be edited.

 

How does one avoid, on macos ventura, the famous error shown in the next line?

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

Exactly what folder contains com.adobe.distiller2020.plist, and how are you trying to edit it?

The file is in     /Users/.../Library/Preferences

I do not know how to edit the file at all. I just read it with Textmate.

This yields the following start of file:

 

// !!! BINARY PROPERTY LIST WARNING !!!
//
// The pretty-printed property list below has been created
// from a binary version on disk and should not be saved as
// the ASCII format is a subset of the binary representation!
//
{ 1 = :true;
AddedFontFolders = {
LNumFoldersAdded = 0;
LVersionAdded = 10;
ulLastUpdateAdded = 0;
};
AllowPSFileOps = :false;
AskForPDFDest = :false;

Sorry, this is too cryptic. Can you explain in more detail? I do have a command line on my mac. What exactly do I need to do there? Thank you in advance!


The command is actually called "defaults". A strange name. See man defaults or https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/terminal/apda49a1bb2-577e-4721-8f25-ffc0836f6997/mac
