Create PDFs Using Authoring Application’s Print Command (Mac)

Authors using the full version of Adobe Acrobat, can create PDF files from any Mac-based application, using the “Print” command. Using the AdobePS 8.7 driver, Authors can create PDF files directly from within Mac OS authoring programs using Create Adobe PDF.

To create Adobe PDF files using Create Adobe PDF (Mac OS 8.6)

1. In the authoring program, open the file to be converted to PDF.
2. Choose “File” and then “Page Setup”
3. From the Printer pop-up menu, select “Create Adobe PDF”. Close the Page Setup dialog box.
4. Choose “File” and then “Print”. In the Printer pop-up menu, verify that the printer is “Create Adobe PDF” and that the destination is “File”.
5. In the Job Options pop-up menu, choose “APSCentral Submission”.
6. Click “Save” to create the PDF file.
7. Name the file, set the destination for the PDF file, and then click “Save”.

NOTE: If you have any Postscript printer defined in the Chooser, choose “File” and “Page Setup” after you install Acrobat, and a “Create Adobe PDF” printer is defined automatically. If you do not have a PostScript printer defined in the Chooser, visit the Adobe Web Site for instructions on installing and using the Adobe PS printer driver.
