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.

Ado: Not sure, Maybe next update will fix this issue after couple of months.

Mick: Sorry? You are not Mac OS Sonoma? I can’t believe this, so many people are complaining. When is the support coming?

Ado: Acrobat DC Pro is the complimentary version with CC all apps and not supported with Mac OS Sonoma. So, we provide you the Acrobat Pro 2020 Perpetual license which is the onetime payment and license valid for the lifetime.

Adobe told me that they try to fix this problem. I've talked to them a couple of days ago and it's not fixed yet.

Absolutely ! It was not a complain. I just wanted to say that I've talk with the Adobe teams and they're working on it !

The creative cloud subscription is very expensive. Adobe should refund part of this subscription if the service provided is not correct.

The service provided worked up until you upgraded to Sonoma. You should not have taken the update that fast. It looks like Sonoma did change “something” that Adobe was using to print, and that got changed by Apple.

The best solution is opening in preview; then it will print for sure. Just wait until Adobe/Apple have solbved this problem...

That is exactly what we do. But this is really not normal as most of us are very old customers who pay quite a lot for something which is supposed to be professional. And moreover, we receive no answer to our complaints. This is absolutely disapointing.

I used a backup to install the previus version of Acrobat.

That worked, I can print from Acrobat again.

I am using the latest version of Acrobat Pro.

Since the update to Mac Sonoma I can"t print with Accrobat any more. He keeps opening Acrobat Distiller.

As if he can't find the printer any more. Printing documents in other applications is not a problem though.

How can I fix this?

Kann unter OS 14 keine PDF mehr drucken. Drucker selbst geht mit anderen Formaten.

Wer kennt das Problem, wer kann helfen?

I have Adobe acrobat Pro 2017 on my Mac. I installed Mac OS Sonoma and I cannot print from Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017.  The error message is "no page selected". Uninstall and reinstall did not fix it. Any help?

Hi Richard17522978z9tj,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

As you are using the Acrobat 2017, it is an old and unsupported version. It is never tested on the latest versions of the OS.

It may or may not work on the latest OS versions. 

You may try the troubleshooting steps suggested in the following help document: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-pdf-printing-acrobat-reader.html. Check if that helps. 

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi
