Who Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6) installed on their Mac can no longer work from the print dialog of a program (such as FreeHand MXa) in a PostScript file (. ps print) in order to then convert the Distiller in a PDF file. The necessary PPD files appear to be deleted during the installation of Snow Leopard. Another factor that the PDF 9.0 Printer not in the printer list of system settings.
Here is my solution for those who still want to create PDFs in this way: restore
- From the Time Machine backup (or other backup) the file ADPDF9.PPD (it is in HD / Library / Printers / PPDs / Contents / Resources / en.lproj). For safety, so it is eg not deleted during an upgrade, you can open it in TextEdit and save it under a new name (ADPDF9x.PPD).
- System Preferences / Print & Fax Open
- links below click "+" (add printer)
- Click on "IP", where a Protocol Internet Printing Protocol - IPP select
- In the Finder, choose the printer (path: / Users / USER NAME / Library / Printers / Adobe PDF 9.0.app). The would have to be there, if not, you can restore it from Time Machine.
- This file drag and drop them into the address field of the Add Printer dialog, drag, so that there now appears the whole path
- Under "Print Using: Other select the PPD file (ADPDF9x.PPD) and "Add" button
- Now, the new printer appears in the list (System Preferences / Print & Fax)
- select this printer, click "Options & Accessories" click
- the first and last part of the name, we can now delete, so that only the printer name (Adobe PDF 9.0) stops click
- OK, done.
