Acrobat Pro 9 shrinks Word docs when printing

I have converted a Word 2003 doc using AA Pro 9 by printing to the PDF printer. The PDF pages have larger margins than the Word pages, when printed. I did not have this prob with prior versions.
Any hints to correct this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Doug

I'm having a similar problem, when I use the convert to Adobe from Word or Create a PDF from file in Adobe sections of text are missing and the natural page breaks are changes (i.e. a paragraph will move down to the next page instead of breaking across a page) which throughs off the page number and flow from the original Word document. If I 'print' the file to the Adobe print driver I do not have as much of a problem. I'm using a demo version of 9.1 pro extended. I did not have this problem with 7.1 Professional. Any suggestions?

Acrobat Pro 9.51 Hangs When Printing to PDF from WordPerfect.

Seems Adobe Acrobat 9.51 is hanging when attempting to do a conversion to PDF by printing to PDF from WordPerfect (using X3/X5). Problem is it also hangs the rest of the PC. Have to attempt to kill the process (though it is so slow I end up having to restart the PC). Anybody have any thoughts on this. Attempted to do a repair (no help), removed the program and reinstalled (also no help). Thought maybe another process was killing this but turned off all startup items. Maybe I missed some uninstall items I need to manually remove? Any help would be appreciated.

Knowing the OS would be helpful as it may be a factor.
If the OS is Windows 7 Acrobat 9.x will not provide full functionality.
Regardless, WP file format(s) are not compatible / supported by Acrobat PDFMaker.
Corel uses its own publish to PDF process rather than anything Adobe.
With Acrobat installed you can print to the Adobe PDF virtual printer.
If you are not doing a File - Print and selecting the Adobe PDF printer then you are using a WP rather than an Adobe process provided by Acrobat.
Be well...

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
Can anyone help?

Hi Edna,
It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X. Choose Edit > Preferences > General. Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu. Click Apply, then OK.
Restart your computer. Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

Acrobat Pro XI Mac won't print a .pdf file, but Apple Preview will print correctly

Hello,
I have Acrobat Pro XI for Mac. recently I've run into pdf files that will show the document on screen ok, show up on print preview screen ok, but when I send it to a printer I either get:
1. no printout... the document passes through the printer queue ok, but nothing comes out (no blank paper, nothing). no data seems to even reach the printer/print server. no error. the print job basically vanishes into thin air like the job was never sent
2. prints out with all the characters of a text substituted with squares (again, no error. just prints squares instead of text)
But when I print the same document using Apple's Preview program on the same machine, the file prints out fine.
I experience this problem with two different Macs, with two different OS versions. Again both machines will print the .pdf file fine using Apple Preview, but not with Acrobat Pro XI.
I've searched for this problem, but no one seems to have this problem. I've tried just printing one page, etc., and no difference (won't print, or print wrong using Acrobat, but prints fine using Preview)
the files are typically sent via e-mail from a vendor, or a web downloaded form (invoice, forms filled out. some are secure, some are not). and these are from multiple sources.
Any ideas what might be the problem, and how to fix this?
system:
Mac Pro (early 2008) and MacBook Pro (mid-2011)
MacOS 10.8.4 and 10.6.8 (multiple computers have this same problem)
Acrobat Pro XI, 11.0.04
printer: HP LaserJet 5MP (yes.. old.. but it works) via HP JetDirect + print server on LAN

I just found this solution on another board, I tried it (I removed the same file listed below) and it worked for me....
Safari won’t save or print PDFs: how to fix
:: Tuesday, January 29th, 2013 @ 5:29:46 am
:: Tags: Computers
If Safari won’t save or print PDFs (but views them without any problems), you probably have an Adobe PDF plug-in installed. In Safari, go to Help->Installed Plug-ins and do a search for “PDF.” If you have anything with “PDF” in it other than “WebKit built-in PDF,” that is probably the culprit.
On my computer, the problem was “AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin”. To remove it, I quit Safari, did a Spotlight search (Command-Option space) for that file name, and then dragged it to the trash. When I restarted Safari, I could print and save PDFs again. You can also manually find the plugins by going to the system “Library” folder (the one at the root of your hard disk, not in your user folder) and looking in the “Internet Plug-Ins” folder.
I’m on OS X 10.8.2, running Safari 6.0.2 (8536.26.17).

Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files

Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files. I have not seen any solutions in forums that solves this problem. I have just done the most recent update and it still crashes.

Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 (CS5) is doing the same thing on my Windows XP SP3 with 3.5 GB of ram and 206 GB of my brand new 300 GB hard drive free.
It starting doing this at the end of last year before my hard drive died. Then after rebuilding the entire system on this new drive it worked fine, until I downloaded all the updates and now it is broken again. Anytime I open more than one PDF, Acrobat crashes. I send the error report every time.

Acrobat Pro 9 - Chose Greyscale in print properties, but it is not changing it to greyscale

Acrobat Pro 9 - Chose Greyscale in print properties, but it is not changing it to greyscale. I tried to go through all the settings, but I cannot figure it out. I am printing a color PDF document to a greyscale document.
Not sure if I am in the correct community group.

thank you for this post. It still works and is a required "fix" as of Oct 2010.
Somehow, in my network adapters, a wireless adapter called Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter was there (this may have something to do with the virtualization abilities of Windows 7). Anyway, I disabled that by going to
Network and Sharing Centre -
Change Adapter Settings, and then
right clicking on it and
choosing disabled.
Next thing I knew Adobe Updater was checking away merrily.

New HD, Now Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.16 Won't Print PDFs to HP2605dn

Had a HD die. Replaced with new one. All humming along on my OS 10.4.11 G4Powerbook except now newly re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.16 won't print PDFs to my HP2605dn printer. Adobe Reader 9.1.3 and Preview will print my PDFs so that's a workaround, but would like to get Acrobat Pro back to pre-grey screen of death functionality.
Have sourced hp:
http://tinyurl.com/ydpcdzu
so it seems to be a known issue.
and also sourced and did due diligence with troubleshooting list:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403864.html
(even though technically I'm not on 9 - same difference)
I'm running out of ideas here. Anyone feel like playing House, M.D. with my problem???

What message do you get, exactly? (Please don't include the serial itself).
Is this using the original CD that came with the Acrobat 8 product?
Does it say anything about a "qualifying product"?

Acrobat 8.1.2 hangs when printing from IE 7 under XP Pro x64

Hey Community,
my Acrobat Standard 8.1.2 and my Internet Explorer 7.05.... hang up when printing. Im running XP Pro x64 recent version.
The other features printing from word or scanning do work well.
Has somebody an idea how to fix that bug ?
Thanks Frederik
Funny thing - I just tested it out to describe the situation better:
First test:
I used the embedded printing icon in the toolbar and printing worked fine with www.FTD.de. Adobe did print eather already started or by automatic start on print icon. It worked several times in a row. But often Homepages are not scaled, so only part of the page was on the paper, because there is no option use the properties. Once Adobe opened I saw a new feature that I have downloaded some Multimedia features with the document and if I would like to listen to them.
Second Test:
I did the same job with using the File/Print command, set adobe as printer
and the job hang up in this version. But to say, it is the internet explorer which hangs up. I couldn't minimize the window, IE was just freezed. After terminating IE via task manager the Adobe window of defining the files name showed up, but the process does not finish (X IE)
After opening IE I tried to run Test1 with the still running Acobat but I got en error message from Adobe. After closing and starting Acrobat again the Test1 process worked fine without problem and without prior restart of the machine.
I also tested this with Kapersky deactivated to make sure that the Multiimedia Content does not cause the trouble, but no changes I.E. just
hangs up.
Has somebody an idea?
Frederik

Problem solved. Does only happen with the Internet Explorer 32bit.
With Internet Explorer 64bit it doesn't happen.

How can I return my PDF doc back into word doc when Acrobat will not read the files.

I changed one doc into a PDF and now all my doc have changed to PDF. I need to have all my word doc back but the Adobe said it can not read the formate.

Hi Jewelhbowie1,
What was your workflow to change the word doc to PDF format.
The Acrobat application/Service does not change the original document it makes copy of that document and converts to another format you choose.
Please share your steps that you choose to convert the word doc to pdfs.
Regards,
Ajlan Huda.

Acrobat Pro 6 & Word 2007

Have a pdf document that I can open and edit in Pro 6. However, when I save out as a word.doc document and open it in Word 2007, all I have is an image of the document that I cannot edit.
Any suggestions as to what I'm failing to do?
Many thanks for any suggestions.

Original document was scanned in and then saved as a pdf - using software that came with a Kodak printer. It is editable within Acrobat Pro 6. If I turn off save images in the settings box in acrobat it fails to save at all. So I guess acrobat is just saving it out as an image.
It wasn't OCR'd.
But is there a solution?

Acrobat Pro 11.0.10 cannot print

When I want to print a pdf in Acrobat Pro 11.0.10 I got the warning (in dutch) "The document cannot be printed" and then "There are no pages selected for printing".
You understand that I have my printer selected (Acrobat sees the printer) and have selected the page.
But nothing happens...
When I open the same pdf in Acrobat Reader it prints immediately...!
I have deleted the program and installed again via CC but that did not help.
Can anyone help?
Thank,
Joost van Tol

Hi J Van ,

Acrobat Pro 7 / Words are not separated

Hi guys,
A friend of mine has Acrobat Pro 7 on a Windows Vista OS. She need to select text from a pdf and paste it on a Word document. The strange happens when pasting all the words are not separated by any space they are glued together. Is there any way to correct this? I tried paste special and it is the same.
You can check the PDF i am talking about at
http://www.irb.com/mm/document/training/0/beginners20guide20es_7393.pdf
it is a begginners guide to Rugby trainning by the IRB. I do not know if the PDF has some special configuration that does not let you copy and paste text in a regular way.
Any ideas?
Thanks and cheers,
Sebastian

Basically Michael means that Adobe does not support AA7 for VISTA. It may or may not work. If you ask them a question they will tell you to upgrade and likely hangup. Several folks have been successful with AA7 working on VISTA and periodically they come back with something they found that did not work. A similar result occured for AA4 on XP as I recall the older forums. Typically folks had to ultimately upgrade.
As far as AA7, I will go to my laptop shortly and try to check the same thing I did with AA8 on VISTA and post the result. That way you can see for yourself the result. If it works on my AA7 and not yours, it will likely be the VISTA thing, but not sure.
I just checked AA7 on XP and it copied from the file to WORD fine. All of the fonts are embedded, so that is not an issue. I had use local fonts turned on, but tried it with use local fonts turned off also, with the same results. The results are below with the same section I copied last time (just to the right of the photo on page 2):
Dos siglos después, el Rugby ha
evolucionado hasta convertirse en
uno de los deportes más populares
del mundo, con millones de personas
jugando, observando, y disfrutando
del Juego.
This shows the spaces, so the only conclusion I can reach is that it is a VISTA issue. I don't have any other ideas. Bill

HP Laserjet pro p1102 kills spooler when printing PDF documents

I have a HP laserjet pro p1102 running on Win7 63x PC.
When I print PDF documents nothing happens on the printer side.
Instead the spooler is killed.
When checking the spool file I can see that the documents have been spooled to the printer.
New driver install done, aswell as firmware upgrade.
Acrobar pro 11.0.07.
Please assist.

Hi @UFS-HYRAX,
I see by your post that when printing a PDF the Print Spooler Crashes. I can help you.
Do you have the same results when printing something else, other then a PDF?
Clear the Spool folder and restart the Print Spooler.
How to Clear Current Print Queue In Windows Vista & Windows 7.
Run the Adobe Updates, the latest version is 11.0.09.
Print the PDF file as an "image". From the Adobe print screen, select the button "Advanced", on that screen you see the box for "print as image". Click on that check it. This should resolve the issue.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Using acrobat pro in word 2007

I just upgraded to word 2007 and have acrobat pro 7.0.0. I
can't figure out how to save a document as a pdf! Adobe Acrobat Pro
shows up as an add-in in "word options" - Add-ins, but there is no
add-in tab, and I can't find any way to actually use it!!! Any
insight would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Try asking your question in the Acrobat Windows or Acrobat
Macintosh forum, as these forums deal with the Acrobat Standard of
Professional products and not the conferencing product Acrobat
Connect.
