Setting
up a AdobePS Printer Driver for Macintosh
Launch the setup utility for AdobePS Printer Driver by double-clicking
on the installer icon.
Follow the online instructions to progress through the introduction,
and click Accept to accept the license agreement.
Select the Easy Install option and click Install.
Once the files for AdobePS are copied, click Quit to return
to the Desktop.
AdobePS Printer Driver v8.7 includes the AdobePS Virtual
Printer plug-in and is automatically copied into the Printer
Description folder in the System Folder\Extension Folder
during the installation.
The Virtual Printer's custom printer will be available
the next time you open the Page Setup or the Print dialog
box from within an application. If desktop printing is
turned on, a desktop printer will be created at that time.
The Virtual Printer plug-in will allow you to create PostScript
language files and save it to disk for use at a later
time with Acrobat Distiller.
Setting
up a AdobePS Printer Driver Options
When
the Virtual plug-in is properly installed, the Virtual Printer
will be created and added to the Page Setup and Print dialog
windows. It will not, however, show up in your Chooser, since
it is not a real printer on your system. To configure the
Virtual Printer with the Acrobat Distiller PPD, perform the
following steps.
Choose
File > Page Setup from any application, and then select
Virtual Printer from the Printer pop-up menu in the top
right corner of the dialog box.
Select Virtual Printer from the pop-up menu in the top
left corner of the dialog box (just below the Printer
pop-up menu)..
Click Select PPD.
In
either the System Folder\Extensions\Printer
Description or the Adobe
Acrobat\Xtras folder (or the location of your Adobe
Distiller PPD), choose the PostScript Printer Description
File "Acrobat Distiller 3.0" and click Select. After the
PPD selection is changed, an alert will be presented as
a reminder that it is necessary to return to the 'Page
Attributes" panel to complete the setup with the newly
selected PPD. Once configured, this PPD assignment will
be the default setting until you change it.
