I'm having trouble printing to a PDF from Acrobat XI Pro (FYI, I'm using OS X 10.8).
Here's what's goin on:
I open the file in Acrobat.
I hit Cmd-P and in the "Printer" dropdown list I select "Adobe PDF 7.0".
I click "Print" in the lower right.
The print monitor icon pops up, but nothing happens. (When I click it to view progress, it just sits there and says "Ready to print", but no matter what I do, nothing happens.)
To clarify, as far as I can tell, this is only a problem when I try to print using the "Printer" dropdown menu and is universal across all applications (i.e. Acrobat, Word, Chrome, etc.). When I select "Save as PDF" within any of those applications, there is no problem at all.
You may be asking yourself "Then why don't you just continue to 'Save as PDF' and forget about the 'Printer' option?" The "why" is not important, so I'll save you my reasoning as it has no bearing on fixing this problem. I'll just say that I have a somewhat frequent need to do it in this particular manner and need to have that option available to me. No offense intended, I simply want to solve to problem without running off on an unimportant tangent.
I'm sure you'll have other questions about my system and what I'm doing/have done, so please ask away.
Thanks so much
