So, if you deploy Acrobat Pro to a corporate environment you already know what an aggravating experience it is to try and deploy updates to Adobe products. Silent install? Sure. Silent Update? No. Standard Mac .pkg? No.
Load the PPD for Adobe PDF 9 (The file is ADPDF9.PPD) by opening the InDesign CS 5 folder (in Applications), go to the Presets folder and make a folder called PPDs, put the file ADPDF9.PPD in that folder. If InDesign was open, quit it and restart InDesign. Open up your book file, and go to Print Booklet. Follow the instructions for.
So you figure out all the files with loggen, Tracker, fseventer, or whatever your tool, then build your own package with Iceberg. Great. Then you find your “standard” users without admin privileges are getting bothered by Adobe’s SelfHeal BS.
Few things going on here that I’ll try and explain, the code formatting should be copy paste-able check it in a text editor, but all line breaks should be preserved.
InDesign:: Add ADPDF9 PPD To The Printer Description File In CS6? Feb 10, 2014. I am having problems creating a clean PS file for booklet spreads and was advised to add ADPDF9 PPD to the printer description file in InDesign CS6. How to install PPD file into Mac OS 10.6 (For the Security Utility necessity) This document explains installation of printe r driver for Mac OS X 10.6. In case of other OS, refer to Operating Instructions (For Setting UP PostScript3 Printer Driver) 1. Copy of ppd file. Mar 08, 2006 This PPD file adds advanced options to AdobePS, such as color and custom page sizes. (Selecting another PPD file may result in PDF files that contain incorrect color, font, or page size information.) The Acrobat Distiller PPD is installed with Adobe Acrobat, and is. On Macintosh if you do not have a postscript printer connected to your computer, you can still output separations using the ADPDF9.PPD (post script printer driver). Instead of doing a Google search looking for this driver, I made it available for download here.
Make sure you copy in the new Acrobat Internet-Plugin if the user is using that:
if [ -d '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin' ]; then
rm -rf '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin';
cp -R '/Applications/Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/SelfHealFiles/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin' '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/';
fi
These next keys really make it complain if it can’t find them, and yes even if you don’t use the plugin it looks for WebBrowserUsePath, so make sure it’s there, and NoViewerSelfHealNeeded gets a new date put after it for every release! Wow neato, a fun easter egg hunt, thanks Adobe!
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.acrobat.90.sh 'NoViewerSelfHealNeeded Dec 21 2009' -bool TRUE
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer WebBrowserUsePath -string 'file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Acrobat%209%20Pro/Adobe%20Acrobat%20Pro.app/'
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer AdobePDFDriver -string 'file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Acrobat%209%20Pro/Adobe%20Acrobat%20Pro.app/'
Now is the truly ridiculous part: if those files and keys aren’t found Acrobat ask for an administrator password and then proceed to write them in current users ~/Library/Preferences! What your users don’t know is they can click Cancel a couple times and it will still write them out, but your they’ve already called you to remote in and authenticate them – you lose! Why Adobe?! WHY!?! Asking for an admin password when you’ll just write it to ~/Library/Preferences?
PDF Printer – Here’s the files you need:
They are all found in:
/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF9.PPD
/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/AdobePDFPDE900.plugin
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf900
They are all found in:
/Applications/Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/SelfHealFiles/AdobePDFPrinter/
After you’ve copied them to their places, you can run Adobe install script:
/Applications/Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/SelfHealFiles/AdobePDFPrinter/cupshup.pl
I also figured this out in lpadmin too:
lpadmin -p AdobePDF9 -E -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF9.PPD -v pdf900://distiller/ -D 'Adobe PDF 9.0'
Even if you’ve copied in the PPD, the PDE plugin, the cups backend, and setup the printer, it’ll still think its damaged because you don’t have the PPD in Korean, Japanese, and two type of Chinese! So, must use PlistBuddy to correct this (because
defaults
is tricky to use when a dictionary is nested in an array – WHY Adobe?!)Quiet the printer “repair”:
For Tiger users the path is:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'set :0:IsInstalledKey NO' /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/SHExpectedMissingFileTypes.plist
For Tiger users the path is:
/Library/Receipts/iTunesX.pkg/Contents/Resources/PlistBuddy
Download half life 1.6 for mac.It’s almost shut the hell up, but the Adobe Updater might decide to pop-up and urge your user to call you up to run updates, so shut it up you got to jump through some hoops, its an “XML” file Adobe style so defaults won’t work on it, nor will plistbuddy, that and it’s a per user setting, so they must run it once to make the file, then you can change it:
cat ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Updater6/AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat | sed 's/1</AutoCheck>/0</AutoCheck>/' > ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Updater6/AdobeUpdaterPrefs.new; mv ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Updater6/AdobeUpdaterPrefs.new ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Updater6/AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat

Yes, Adobe has a document for this but it seems only to remove the ability to check for updates within the app?!

Trivia: You might want to copy in the new AcroEFGPro90SelfHeal.xml file, although running “repair” from Acrobat will copy in the new file and for some odd Adobe reason, the self heal inside the app uses Mac line endings but when magically moved to
/Library/Application Support/
, it has Unix line endings changing the size by 2282 bytes (and also the place of a key as well?). This was a read herring in my research.cp -f /Applications/Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/AcroEFGPro90SelfHeal.xml /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/AcroEFGPro90SelfHeal.xml
Adobe: CS5 had better not use InstallerVISE, iNosso, bindiff, Java, XML, or whatever convoluted processes you are clinging to, just use the dang pkg format that Apple has provided – sheesh. Is this overwrought complex system supporting “make-work” jobs for programmers?
Skip to end of metadataGo to start of metadataOn occasion, when installing Adobe Acrobat 9.x (as well as some other versions) the application will fail to install the “Adobe PDF” printer that typically resides in your Printers and Faxes folder in Windows XP. This not only prevents Acrobat from creating any PDF files, but it also breaks the PDFMaker plugin functionality that gets added to Office when installing Acrobat.
The following will help you restore the missing PDF printer:
1) Open the Printers and Faxes dialog box and select Add a Printer
2) Click Next then select Local printer attached to this computer, and deselect the Automatically detect and install my Plug and play printer box. Click Next.
![Mac Mac](/uploads/1/3/3/6/133685176/172201871.jpg)
3) In the port selection box, choose My Documents*.pdf (Adobe PDF) and click Next.
4) On the following screen, select Have Disk. Click Browse then navigate to the C:Program FilesAdobeAcrobat 9.0AcrobatXtrasAdobePDF folder and highlight the AdobePDF.inf file. Click Open, then OK.
5) When presented with a list of Adobe PDF Converter options, select the first item from the list and click Next.
6) When prompted for a printer name, change the value to Adobe PDF. Naming it anything else will break the Office plugin functionality.
7) Click Next through the remaining dialog boxes, selecting the appropriate options for your configuration as you go along.
At this point, the printer should be installed. If the application is requesting files from your Windows CD, you will need to locate the proper files for your service pack level either by browsing on your computer or downloading then extracting the service pack executable. This portion of the install varies by computer as I have had the install require these additional files about half the time.
If you are later prompted for the ADPDF9.PPD file, it can be found in the C:Program FilesAdobeAcrobat 9.0AcrobatXtrasAdobePDFStdPPD folder.
That should be it. once you have finished the installation and provided Windows with the additional files if needed, you should be well on your way to creating PDFs!
