Q: Adobe PDF 8 FAX no longer available ?

After upgrading to OS 10.9.5 the "print PDF" panel no longer shows the Fax option.

Trying to add PDF 8 as a printer fails because it cannot find the Location.

A note indicates: "Software for this printer isn't available from Apple...."

 

Any known solutions to this problem?

Thanks.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), Intel duo-core 1GB OS10.4.8

    Not sure if this is your problem, but see the Adobe page at:

    https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-print-pdfs-mac-os.html

     

    I was seeing Adobe 9.0 as one of my printers, but apparently isn't supposed to have worked since OS X 10.6.  (I'm also using 10.9.5)

     

    Instead, now, you create pdfs by selecting Print, then (bottom left corner of Print window), choose "Save as pdf" or "Save as Adobe pdf" (either seems to work).

     

    The Adobe page above gives more information and tells you how to delete the non-working Adobe printer, which ended the error message that resulted whenever I tried to use it.
