    PDF MAKER Not working

    Hello everyone. Thanks for taking a look at this for me. I'm really banging my head against the wall on this one.


    System is XP pro 32 and running ACAD 09 and Acrobat 09 as well. PDF Maker worked in the CAD 06, but not 09.

    Can anyone please help me? I tried the patch 9.2 on Adobe and even copied the .CIU files from a working system.

    The files are not going into PDF properly. They are not being fully transferred. The first file is missing parts of pages, but when its reloaded it works. (its a time issue I'm trying to solve)

    Please let me know ASAP if anyone has any solutions.

    Thank you again


    Ian

     

    Also can't get it to work on Acrobat X on a WIn 7 x64 system with ACAD 09 too.

    I am aware for sure that the PDF Maker does not work on AutoCAD 2009 64-bit
    http://acrobatninja.blogspot.com/2010/12/autocad-and-acrobat.html

    but it definitely worked when I was using AutoCAD 2009 32-bit on a Windows XP machine.


    First, AutoCAD must be installed BEFORE installing Adobe Acrobat.  (We Have Acrobat 9 pro.)  When you install Acrobat, Adobe will see that you have AutoCAD and include the following file in this directory:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\AutoCAD\2009\32\PDFMACad.arx

     

    Load that application into AutoCAD 2009 32-bit and you should be OK.  If that doesn't work, try re-installing Acrobat? 

     

    Now I only wish that Adobe would support AutoCAD 64-bit!!!  I loved PDF Maker before I got my new system with Win 7 64-bit.  :smileysad:

    Well I tried both of your suggestions. Even though we tried them before. Just to make sure we did it correctly, I tried it again. 

    No luck so far. No the user is getting Trimming errors. The user will trim then will have to rotate an object for the trimming to be viewed properly. If you have any other ideas or any for the new issue please let me know.

    Thank you

    Use the AutoCAD built-in PDF driver, or grab an alternate PDF driver to install in Windows: even freeware PDF drivers work with R2009 64bit.

     

    If you only want the Adobe product, you will need to seek help at the Adobe Forums.

    Please mark any response as "Accept as Solution" if it answers your question.
