Hi,

afer updating to Sonoma I'm not able to print in Acrobat. The Adobe Distiller is opening automatically and then the following error occurs:

 

A PDF file cannot be created from the following file:

/var/folders/wl/rf9rt6y96jd46gqsn6h12zbw0000gn/T/PSbmDDom.tmp

For details on how to use the Adobe PDF settings: Standardqualit√§t

see the log file

 

Does someone know a hint how to solve the problem? Printing with adobe reader ist possible.

Correct answer rbtallitsch
Even though, when checking for updates, I was told I had the latest version of Acrobat Pro I found an “optional update” at https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/ReleaseNotesDC/continuous/dccontinuousoct2023.html#dccontinuousocttwentytwentythree
 
Downloaded the optional update and problem solved.

FIXED FOR ME.

 

Like others have done to resolve this issue before me. I uninstalled Acrobat, then Re-installed it and it prints fine now. So not sure if the issue was Sonoma or Acrobat, but it looks like the same version of Acrobat but Im printing just fine now. Not that difficult to do - I did restart after uninstalling Acrobat and before re-installing it - thats just somethign I typically do with Adobe Cloud applications.

 

Hope it works for all of you.

Thank you for the very good idea. It seems that there's a new Acrobat version though Creative Cloud previously mentionned that Acrobat was uptodate. But problem remains 😖

My Acrobat was "up-to'date" as well, but I still uninstalled and it reinstalled it and it worked. If you havent tired it, I would.

Hello, same problem after updating to Sonoma on October 4th, I cannot print in Acrobat Reader. When I access the print center, the attached warning appears. If you print using the browser it prints normally, if you print another type of document it prints normally, the issue is when the pdfs are printed using Acrobat Reader it really doesn't work, please fix this problem.

Same trouble here. Last versions of Sonoma and Acrobat. Distiller's opening and crashes. Obliged to open it in the Mac preview to print the document properly

Same problem here!

Bug I think. Hopefully this will be solved soon.

But it's oktober 5 so the release must be working now.

Use Preview.  Works fine.

Agreed. For at temporary fix, right click Open With > Preview then print works fine.

 

For a permanent fix (for me) I uninstalled Acrobat then re-installed it. I can print in Acrobat fine now.

Hi I had exactly the same issue after updating sonoma, on my mac mini and on my laptop . I tried to re install acrobat, obviously it didn'solve.  The only soltuion I found ( waiting for some update ) is to trasnfer my pdf on indesign, and print from indesign. Absurd!

After installing Sonoma (the new MacOS) Adobe doesn't print pdf files anymore:

I deïnstalled Adobe from my Creative Cloud and reïnstalled the program but it didn't work...

See the message, below

Kan geen PDF maken van:

/var/folders/7p/r9vy1b_129s36q8cwbz2b8zm0000gn/T/PSqMVCSX.tmp

Met Adobe PDF-instellingen: Hoge afdrukkwaliteit

zie het logbestand voor meer informatie.

Does anyone know what to do?

Hi @richardt53610741 

 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

 

Our engineering team is aware of this issue and we're eager to work together to resolve it. I have shared more details with you in a private message, please check.

 

Also as a workaround, please try to print the PDF as an image. Open the PDF > Go to Print > Advanced > Print as an Image

 

Let us know how it goes.

Hi Amal,

Thanks for your reply. The solution you mentioned is not not sufficiently because the image has a poor quality. I use Adobe a lot so I hope a proper solution is on the way!

Best regards,

Richard Toussaint
