AdobePDf Print Driver FILE NAME problem...

[Eric_Warner@adobeforums.com]

All,

This is odd. I open up my file in InDesign and say its named ABC.ind. I make a PDF using the AdobePDF Print driver and it names the PDF - ABC.pdf. Ok, everything is fine, right...wrong!

I open up my second file, DEF.ind and create a PDF the same way using the AdobePDF driver. This time the new PDF retains the previous PDF name created (ABC.pdf). Whew, what's up!

I was saving to my desktop and could never find my second pdf, why? Because it was overwriting the first PDF created. I finally opened up my first pdf only to see that it was not the correct document for what file name it had. BAZAAAAAAR!

Any help would be appreciate! I'm using Acrobat Pro 6 on a OS X machine.
Thanks
E

Since Adobe has issues with Mac OSX you can save the first file and then move the PDF from the desktop to a folder. Then save the next PDF.

On Windows Acrobat you are able to save to any folder you want and does not over write the last one saved.

Adobe needs to fix the problem on the Mac version.

When you state the 'Adobe PDF driver' - do you mean the 'Adobe PDF'
printer or the 'Adobe PDF' printer description file. In other words, are
you PRINTING the PDF or EXPORTING the PDF?

Jon,

I am talking about Printing the PDF. The driver under my available printers.

Thanks

It's time to talk versions ...

Mine worked with ID 3.01, OSX 10.3.5, Acrobat 6.02 .....

I ended up with ACB.pdf and DEF.pdf ..

Jon,

OS - OS 10.2.8
ID - 2.0.2
Acrobdat Pro 6.0.2

It seems it may be an issue with the Mac...no quit sure!

Jon,

to be honest my system here at work is not the most stabile. I've had Kernal Error since day one. It probably is OS problem glitch. I appreciate all your help!

thanks again!
