OK, just throwing another horribly convoluted solution onto the pile. You can remove the documents from the print queue manually. (replace username with your actual username)Īnd there you have it, without having to install any thirdparty pkg or drivers. Looking at the timestamp and size, easy to see that d00001-001 and d00002-001 are the postscript files I just printed from Adobe Reader.Ĭhange the owner of this file then move this file out to desktop Open Terminal.app and type the following: sudo -s

I installed a network printer localhost, I chose HP Laserjet Series PCL 4/5 as the driver.

I had the same problem and this is what I did after reading this question and answer I hope you don't have to resort to that hacky of a solution to save paper waste and time. I've not resorted to this, but CUPS-PDF and this tip on making it work with Snow Leopard's sandboxing security looks to be promising. That way adobe is forced to send the data to the mac which will then pop it into a plainer PDF file for you with just the data filled out.

If Adobe isn't preparing the file for print until after you hit print in the Adobe dialog - then your only recourse is faking it out by defining a new virtual printer. I don't have a form like you mentioned in red, but try setting all the print options in Adobe to make your form appear as desired (with or without stamps, annotations, sticky notes and summaries, etc.) and then get to the Apple print dialog to attempt a print to PDF. button at the bottom of the Adobe Print Dialog and clicking through the warning not to change things behind Adobe's back. Adobe Reader 10.x does go out of it's way to hide the normal print options from OS X but you can still get to them by clicking on the Printer.
