My solution was to add a new port simply called pdf – no more errors in my printer queue.

Excellent. Thanks.

The real question is why Adobe provides such an obscure error message. They should be paying you for supporting their customers.

I’m sorry I’m not aware of a solution to this problem. By best guest is to uninstall Adobe Acrobat/Reader delete any applicable directories and cache. Then re-install application to see if that fixes the problem. You may also want to consider uninstall the adobe update application as well. I myself have had numerous issues regarding Adobe’s update system.

Hello,

I’ve run into a problem following these instructions — every time I update Adobe Acrobat I have to go through this procedure again, but after the most recent update, I have somehow lost the “Desktop\*.pdf” and “Documents\*.pdf” from my ports list, and it won’t let me add a port with that name!

Do you have any advice? in the past, this fix has worked for me and I appreciate it! any ideas what i should do now?

I just recently switched from XP Pro to 7 Pro (skipped over Vista), and this is the first time I ran into this problem. My brain is so pureed from studying for my MCSA, I’d have stared at the answer for an hour and probably not made the connection on my own. But, all the studying has done one good thing (if nothing else) – it’s gotten me to start researching on the internet BEFORE I spend a bunch of time digging from scratch.

Anyway, popping a question into Google, clicking one link, and haviong the exact answer laid out for me – sweet!

Thanks a bunch! God bless and Merry Christmas.

I would suggest trying to do a repair, update or re-install of Acrobat. I’m not aware as to the steps required to add such ports. Mine were already present.

I don’t have either of the mentioned ports “Desktop\*.pdf” or “Documents\*.pdf” available … any suggestions?? Mine also is checked for COM1, and every time I create a pdf I have ‘documents’ left over in my printer queue. Any suggestions for that? I have to cancel the document a couple times, then cancel all documents on the Adobe PDF printer.
