Acrobate Reader, poster layout. I can't "Print to PDF."

Report · Apr 26, 2018

I'm on a Mac running OSX. Latest version of Adobe Reader DC.

I want to take a large pdf image and posterize it. I don't want to print it, but save it as a pdf (or other format).

I open the file, then click on Print. I then click on the Poster box. When I try to change the printer from my desktop printer to Adobe pdf, the pull down menu shows Adobe PDF 7.0.

When I hit Print, it adds an icon for Adobe PDF 7.0 in my tray, but I can't get it to Save the file.

HELP!

Well I'm a little confused. Adobe Reader doesn't have a pdf printer nor any other way to create a pdf so where did you get that printer from? Do you have the full version of Acrobat?

When I open Print, I go to my list of printers, and there’s “Adobe PDF 7.0.”
