P3 and Acrobat 5 can actually go together pretty nicely. It seems as though the existence of the psprint gift code helped the two work together better, although I could have been imagining it.

Hi,



we had a similar problem wit printing pdf’s from open plan to acrobat 4 (it worked fine with version 3) we got around this by using a different pdf writer - ’JAWS PDF Creator’

I have come across this in the past, i think you will find that it only happens when you try to print in the ’Preview Window’, use the Print Preview window to edit how you want it to print out, go back into the normal project view window and press the print icon.....remember to set the printer to PDF writer in the Print Preview window......this just seems to be another little fault in P3.....

Acrobat writer problem is always there.

May I share my experience. My organization, all P3 users working on machine in same model and same config and same software install. Ignore the data directory and some personal setting, the machine is nearly identical the same.

However, there is one machine always fail to prepare PDF. The finding is one of the installed printer driver ’did not like’ that release of Acrobat. We purchase Acrobat in difference dates.

The problem is solved by downgrade that printer driver.

Please check the verion of P3. If they the same, check the release date of P3.exe. Some need Service Pack and some not. Futher you haven’t mentioned your which computer operation system you installed, which Acrobat version installed. They are in different performance.

Hi Guys,



I have a similar printing problem with Acrobat 5.0 which I just installed. I made the Acrobat distiller as the default printer but to no avail. Any suggestion to fix this problem? Thanks a lot.

Alternative is install any PostScript(PS) printer driver.

In P3, select the PS printer to print and save the output to a file.

Launch the Adobe Distiller to convert the file to PDF format.
