Hi there!

 

I hope you are doing well.

 

From the description above, I can understand that you want to print a PDF as Adobe PDF on Mac, Is that correct?

 

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.

 

  • Open a file in a Mac OS application.

  • Click the PDF button and choose Save As Adobe PDF.

  • Choose the Adobe PDF Settings and click Continue.

  • Type a name for your file, and click Save.

 

 For more information on Adobe PDF printer settings, see https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/using-pdf-printer.html

 

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 https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-save-as-adobe-pdf-macos-mojave-10-14.html

 

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

    Hi there,

    I can see you have said to try the below;

     

    "Click the PDF button and choose Save As Adobe PDF."

     

    However , I cannot find this option. On windows, there is an option to 'print' a selected number of pages from a PDF, and create a new PDF using them. How can I do this on macOS? Or more specifially, can you tell me where the 'PDF' button you are referring to is in Acrobat? 

     

    Thanks
