How do I get Adobe reader to be recognized on my Devices and Printers?

Hi mpower136,

Adobe Reader is a PDF viewer application, so it wouldn't show up in your Devices and Printers list. Are you trying to "print" to PDF format?

Yes.. When I try to print (or save a specific number of pages on the

exisiting PDF File) It is saving everything as a PS file and once its

downloaded, I cant access it. It then gives me an error message saying

"Adobe Reader could not open "file name" because it is either not a

supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it

was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctely decoded).

Ah, it sounds like you may have a "print to file" option selected in the printer driver, so when you print, you're actually creating PostScript files (which Reader can't open). What printer are you printing to?

When I select print- I have the printer setting on CutePDF Writer

CutePDFWriter is a third-party application, which Adobe doesn't provide support for. But, I did find the following on their website:

"Requires PS2PDF converter such as Ghostscript (recommended).

You can get the free GPL Ghostscript 8.15."

Here's a link to their website:

CutePDF :: Product :: CutePDF Writer

So, it looks like it creates a PostScript file for you, but then you need additional software to convert the PostScript file to PDF.

Best,
