Adobe Acrobat Pro XI problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.

Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am having problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD. Printing other PDF created by MS Word works well. Had a similar problem in an earlier version of Pro. The fix I figure out then was to print the PDF file as another PDF. Using the second PDF to print to a plotter typically worked. It does not work for Adoabe Acrobat Pro XI.

Adobe Acrobat Pro failed to print pdf file

I downloaded adobe acrobat pro and started the 30 trial version just a few minutes ago.
I could open files through adobe acrobat and convert word files to pdf, but when i tried converting a publisher file it could not go through. An error popped up which read "Adobe PDF printer failed to print pdf file".
The publisher file I am hoping to convert to pdf is a 21 page panorama article. It contains lots of images and a variety of font types.
I do not know other alternatives for solving this issue.
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Thank you!
Erik

It seems to be that Adobe Acrobat virtual printer is not properly installed on your PC or you are not selecting Adobe PDF printer to print PDF document. Checkout the below screen shot to see proper printer.
After trying this if you have same problem you may trt some other virtual printer that easily convert or print any file as PDF, you may checkout here.

PDF created from AutoCAD will not print

This one has me baffled.
I'm working with AutoCAD 2009 and Adobe Acrobat 8. I printed 3 layouts from AutoCAD to Acrobat as a C-size sheet. I usually merge them into one multi-page file using Acrobat. All 3 .PDFs were created with no errors and can be viewed on the screen.
I went to print this 3 page file to an HP DesignJet 500. The first 2 pages printed fine, but page 3 would not print.
So I went to the original individual file for the missing page, opened it in Acrobat - it also would not print to the HP 500. BUT - it WOULD print to my HP 2800 on an A-size (letter) sheet.
All three pages came from the same AutoCAD file. All 3 .PDFs were created using the same settings. Individually, only the first 2 will print to the HP 500.
I tired recreating the third file with a different file name. Looks fine on the screen, yet when I try to print it, it does not get to the printer driver.
Yes, I have re-booted my system. No difference. Rebooted again and recreated the document - no change.
I figure there has to be some quirky character or entity in my AutoCAD layout that is tripping up the printer driver for the HP 500. This is my first encounter with this kind of problem. And yes, I do have the latest HP 500 driver installed and have created and printed 100s of AutoCAD drawings in this manner.
BTW, I'm running WIndows XP Pro.

Michael,
I have about 19GB of free space on drive C: - your tip about "print as image" did permit the file to print to the HP 500. This DesignJet is not a PS or PCL printer.
I've never encountered this kind of problem before. This particular AutoCAD layout has a fair amount (but not a lot) of text that would no doubt be converted to a raster image (as it is not a system font) when processed by Acrobat during .PDF creation.
My drive D: has much more free space - is there a way of directing the printer driver to store its output to that drive?
Thanks for the tip - at least I know what to do the next time I'm up against the clock trying to get the work out.

Hi All,
Was this every resolved and if so how was it done?
I am having the exact same problem. I know it is a problem within the user account. I have removed all preference files, application support files, removed and added printers. There are no plugins. Other user accounts can print from Adobe Reader fine. I have already migrated my user data only to another user account. Issue was resolved for a month or two but came back again. I know creating a new user account ultimately does not resolve this issue. Please help?

Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 9 and X): creating limitations in a group of fields.

Hello,
I am building a fillable questionnaire form using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and X.
Within 1 question, I want to set 3 fields, each representing an answer that can only be answered once.
I know about Radio Buttons but, I need to have some text written instead of a checkbox.
How to set a limit onto a field to direct person filling in the form to answer only 1 of the 3 fields within the same question?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Win_win

Thanks for your explaination although I am aware of both functions and thats why I chose one over the other.
I can understand that with more experiences with scripts or the software, you can 'play' with the function much easier and better than I could as I'm quite junior to all of these. So I appreciate if you can bare with me as I try to explain what troubles I have and ways I had tried to solve them.
The trouble I have, is Radio buttons have pre-set options and thus would not allow end user to write down their own value. But what I need, is the value and the limitations that the end user could only choose 1 of the 3 options from a group. (Note that I am not using any scripts so I'm using the softwares' function as-is.) In other words, if the group for 1 button has answers as A, B, or C. I want to know how much of A. And not a pre-set value of A. If the end user chose A, then B and C would not be chosen. As it's either the quantity of A, or B, or C.
Also, what I did not understood from your message earlier today was what is a 'nullstring' in a text field and how to create that?
It seems from your response earlier that I could solve my problem with either Radiobuttons or, Checkboxes.
If I were to use checkboxes, then how can I 'add a control to make the text field read-only when one of the checkboxes has been selected' as you've suggested?
Is one option better than another? At managing responses received?
I will have to repeat this for quite an amount of questions I have for the form, so whichever that is easier to achieve and would produce minimum problems /errors, would be preferred.
I hope I have explained myself clearly.

When I print in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, it prints reversed..

Only recently when I try to print in Acrobat Pro 9, it prints backwards/reversed.. like a mirror. It shows correct on the page, but when it's printed it's reversed. I must have changed a setting by accident but can't find the issue. Possibly in Adobe Illustrator when I tried to change the direction of an image. It only prints like this in Acrobat.. no other application.

Hi hollym23446293,
What are you printing to? Have you checked for a "Flip Horizontally" option (or similar) option in the Print dialog box? Its location will vary by printer, but it's often in the Layout settings.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Adobe Acrobat Pro license problem

I had an Adobe Acrobat Pro license and now the program is asking for my serial and does not recognize it. I have entered in trial mode and I can get assistance directly from Adobe and cannot access the chat. What should I do?

Jmmussat, no, it is NOT a browser problem, I have tried several now.
I suspect it could be very bad luck and not a purposeful block so customers like me, with old licenses, will be forced to purchase.

I can't find anywhere a call number to ring to get assistance. Please call on me on 61418521994 Thanks, Michael Heaton-Harris

Hi,
I wasn't able to find any product purchase under the email id using which your registered in Adobe forums.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 PDF docs print differently to different printers

I have a a saved PDF file.(it was created in FileMaker).
It looks perfect on screen. It has a signature line____________ date_________ at the bottom of the page.
When I send to our color printer, the signature line moves up to the middle of the page, which is where the text info ends.
When I send to my black and white printer, the signature line remains at the bottom of the page where it belongs.
I have also resent the same pdf to 2 other printers, 1 black and white, and 1 color, and it prints correctly.
So basically, 3 out of 4 printers print correctly.
I have contacted out IT department and was told it was an Adobe problem and not a color printer driver problem.
I don't understand that part of it.
Why would a pdf move information around based on the printer it is sent to?
Any suggestions?
Is is an Adobe setting for that color printer or is it the printers problem?
Thanks in advance.

I have now checked other people in my departments Adobe versions.
I have Adobe Pro V9.0.0, and does not print correctly.
1 person has Adobe XI Pro and prints correctly.
1 person has Adobe Pro 9.5.5 and prints correctly.
1 person has Adobe Pro V9.0.0 and does not print correctly
I have now installed the available upgrades which only took me to 9.2.0 and still prints incorrectly.
I wil try and find the other updates and see if that helps.
thx.

Adobe Acrobat Pro won't edit document created by Illustrator 2 and saved as PDF

I've tried multiple things, but can't get Acrobat Pro to edit text within a PDF file which was created by Illustrator cs2 "Accumulated text within the attempted selection area is rotated other than horizontal or vertical. Touchup cannot create a text selection area.". I've searched google, read help....
Fix was to download NitroPDF. It quickly and easily edited the text. So why won't Adobe do it...

The same thing happens with pdf files that are not zip files even if saved from Acrobat Pro on my computer.

Problems Viewing and Printing PDFs Created from FrameMaker

I got no responses to this issue in the Acrobat forums (I posted 6 days ago), so since at least some of the PDFs were created through FrameMaker, I am posting here to see if anyone in this forum has seen the problem.
At our company, we regularly create PDFs, usually from FrameMaker version 9. In most cases, we have no problems with the PDFs, but once in a while, we are notified that customers get the following problems:
If they try to print the PDF, they see a series of messages which consistently include "The document could not be printed" and "There were no pages selected to print." If they choose a page or range to print, this often works, but certain pages will not print. In one case, I saw a message saying there was a problem with the PDF with the number 14, but this does not always appear.
Often, the pages that will not print, when viewed at a normal magnification, appear as very small thumbnails that look like the dotted line down a black highway. The rest of the pages are at a normal magnification and can be read.
Often, these same PDFs crash when certain bookmarks are clicked.
This always seems to happen when the PDFs are viewed within a browser on our website or in our web-based software. I've been told by our tech group that it happens in other browsers, not just Internet Explorer, and it still happens if they save the PDF out of the browser down to the desktop and try printing from there.
In the cases I've seen, when I go back and look at the original generated PDF file in Adobe Reader or Acrobat (not within a browser), none of these problems occur. Redelivering the file to the web location often fixes the problem.
I've read many posts about this in various locations on the Internet and one in the Adobe Forums, but none seem to come up with the cause to this problem - they just come up with workarounds for printing the file.
One other note - one of our engineers and tech writers found that one PDF with this problem appeared to have Fast Web Viewing turned off, even though nothing was done differently when the PDFs were generated.
Does anyone have any information on what causes this problem and how we can avoid it?
Tammy

I'm not sure why, but my original post came through blank. Here is a
second attempt:
> Often, the pages that will not print, when viewed at a normal

> small thumbnails that look like the dotted line down a black highway.
The rest of the pages
> are at a normal magnification and can be read.
I almost didn't reply to your post because I'm not sure that I am making
anything but a wild guess. But I seem to recall many years ago that
there were some reports on the frameusers.com listserv of some PDF pages
showing up as tiny pages-- similar to what you describe. I'm not sure if
I can trust my recollection, but I THINK the fix was to go into the PDF
printer properties, and reduce the dpi setting from 1200 to 600 or even
300. I don't remember the exact reason, but I think it had something to
do with a problem in the way Windows GDI interacts with documents
containing large-size type (such as 72-point glyphs). Anyway, I may be
remembering it wrong, or may be off on the wrong track altogether, but
it won't hurt to make the change and try. You can always change the
setting back.
And if it doesn't work, consider posting your operating system, Acrobat
version number, and whether or not FrameMaker 9 is fully patched. It
might help someone else chime in with help.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Lion Printer Error

My MacBook Pro came with Lion already installed. I installed a new copy of Acrobat Pro 9 and it worked fine... including printing to both my Canon Pixma and Brother Laser printers. I installed Lion 7.1.2 update and when I tried to print an Acrobat file I received an error message with both printers in the printer dialogue box. Example below. When I click the resume printer arrow there is a momentary shift to where the doc should print but then it goes back to the error state. I cannot print an Acrobat file from either the File>Print menu or internal Acrobat>Print. Printers work fine with all other applications.
I reinstalled OS X 7.1 and Acrobat again printed without a problem. I had to reinstall 7.1 (don't remember why I did THAT!) and Acrobat stopped pringting again! I have reinstalled Acrobat several times as well as OS X 7.1 but Acrobat will not print. Everything else in Acrobat works. I just upgraded to Acrobat Pro 9.2 but it does not print. I guess I could try OS X 7.2 again. Any suggestions?

Oooops. Screen shot of the printer dialogue box did not print. Sorry abou that!!!
