Set Adobe PDF printer properties (Windows)
In Windows, you can usually leave the Adobe PDF printer properties unchanged, unless you have configured printer
sharing or set security.
Note: Printing Properties are different from printer Preferences. The Properties dialog box contains tabs of options that
apply to any type of printer; the Preferences include conversion options specifically for the Adobe PDF printer.
Set Adobe PDF printer properties
1 Open the Printers window from the Start menu, and right-click the Adobe PDF printer.
2 Choose Properties.
3 Click the tabs, and select options as needed.
Reassign the port that the Adobe PDF printer uses
1 Quit Distiller if it is running, and allow all queued jobs to the Adobe PDF printer to complete.
2 Open the Printers window from the Start menu.
3 Right-click the Adobe PDF printer, and choose Properties.
4 Click the Ports tab, and then click Add Port.
5 Select Adobe PDF Port (Windows XP) or Adobe PDF Port Monitor (Vista/Windows 7) from the list of available
port types, and click New Port.
6 Select a local folder for PDF output files, and click OK. Then click Close to quit the Printer Ports dialog box.
7 In the Adobe PDF Properties dialog box, click Apply, and then click OK.
For best results, select a folder on the same system where Distiller is installed. Although remote or network folders are
supported, they have limited user access and security issues.
Delete a folder and reassign the Adobe PDF printer to the default port
1 Quit Distiller if it is running, and allow a few minutes for all queued jobs to Adobe PDF to complete.
2 Open the Printers window from the Start menu.
3 Right-click the Adobe PDF printer, and choose Properties.
4 Click the Ports tab.
5 Select the default port, Documents, and click Apply.
6 Select the port to delete, click Delete Port, and then click Yes to confirm the deletion.
7 Select the Documents port again and click Close.
