Can not print PDF file at all with Windows Vista

I have Acrobat Reader 9.3.2. I am working off of Windows Vista on my laptop to a network wireless printer (Brother MFC 9440). I am unable to print pdf files. About a week ago, we had problems with our printer printing anything. I had to uninstall it and reinstalled it and it now works fine except the pdf files. I have had no problems printing any other files on any other programs but this one. I am unsure what specific "updates" I ran while trying to figure out printers issue. When in Reader, everything seems normal. When I hit print, the printer box pops up as normal and then I hit ok, my printer icon at bottom pops up for about 5 secs and nothing happens. I know that I am connected to printer due to all other programs can print. I do not have access to another printer to see if pdf will print on another printer, but do know that the other two computers used in this office (mac laptop and mac desktop) both are able to print pdf files to this printer without a problem. I have gone thru all the other help steps to try to resolve the situation: it still will not print when I hit "print as image", made sure that my printer is marked as network and is default printer, made sure to check that I have all upgrades, etc. I am not getting any error message, so am unsure what is wrong. It just will not print. Is there anyone that could give me some suggestions that I have not tried? I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanks!

Another user experience exactly the same issue with vista and printing from Adobe reader.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/642000?tstart=1 Its copied below as a reference.
The problem was on my Auntys PC, and yes i did updated Adobe Reader to v9.3.2 and still the same issue underlned below.
My Aunty lives 70 miles away so will not be trying anything else.
The printer works fine with every other application only Adobe Reader files will print.

Can not print .pdf files to HP Deskjet 3050 with Adobe 8.2

I tried HP support and did the suggested actions with no success. Adobe 8.2 .pdf files will not print on my HP Deskjet 3050. OS is Vista on an HP Pavillion dv6000. Will not print as image either in advanced options.
No error messages and it appears that the document should print, but when I hit "print", the dialogue box disappears and nothing happens.

Can not print PDF created on Mac with Acrobat (Win and OS X)

I created a PDF-File from "Pages", using the integrated "Print to PDF function" (OS X10.4.8)
This file can be opened and viewed with Adobe Acrobat on the same Mac and also on another Win-XP-Machine.
BUT: on both Machines (Mac and Win) it's not possible to print it. Only the message (translated in english) "The file can not be printed".
I also tried Print to PDF-X and other Win-Machines, but this does not helped.
Any Idea?

Hi there,
It sounds like there has been security added to this document. In Acrobat you can view the Security setting for the document by going to File > Properties (or Cmd D) and see if printing is allowed.
If it is allowed, then it might be worth checking the cups error log to see if it explains why the document cannot be printed. You will find the log in Applications > Console. Click on the Logs icon and expand the entry /var/log. Then expand cups and click on error_log. This will show the job you have attempted to print and any error as to why it cannot.

P1102w can not print PDF file

Hi,
I am trying to print a 11.3MB of PDF file with pictures in it. After printing 4 pages, printer starts to wait green light blinking, and the 5th page comes without half the content, orange light blinking. (I bought two of this model, one for home, one for the office and same for both, airprint or cable, the same...)
The home is connected to wi-fi, the base station is close, a few meters away. It has fixed IP. It seems the printer doesn't have enough hardware sources. Office version is connected via USB.
It seems this model lack the adequate hardware (RAM, CPU, etc.) to print a PDF document properly. What good is a printer if it cannot print a simple PDF file with some pictures in it? I need a solution as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance.

Hi @bastun,
I see that you are having issues printing PDF documents. I would be happy to help you.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Laserjet P1102w)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Try printing the PDF again.
If you are still having issues, try printing the PDF as "Print as Image". Print PDF as an image.
Try printing a couple of pages from the printer's manual, to see if to see if you have the same results.
LASERJET PROFESSIONAL P1100 Printer series.

Can't open cp file from laptop with Windows Vista

I created some files at work using XP and copied them to a jump drive. (Captivate 4)
I've installed C4 at home using Vista on my laptop. I tried opening the cp files and none will open. C4 opens, but stays on the normal open page. I've copied them to the laptop drive and it still won't open them. I've tried opening by double-clicking the file, and by opening C4 and attempting to open them from within. Nothing. Any suggestions?

Thanks, the Vista is 64 bit, the XP is not. Actually, I'm using the laptop to record new audio, so I don't have to get the audio from the XP machine. However, another problem has arisen and that it when I try to record in C4 on the laptop it doesn't work. It asks if I want to test and then nothing happens, the test window doesn't open, and then when I hit the record button again, nothing happens. I've downloaded Audacity and it records fine, so I'm going to save those files and import them. This has been one nightmare after another. Thanks for your suggestions.

HP 7780 All in One Printer will not print PDF files!!!

I have an HP 7780 All in One printer setup as a network printer. It will copy, scan, and print everything except PDF files. Why will it not print PDF files? You send a PDF file to print. The printer spins up like its about to start printing and then nothing. No error message or nothing. Nothing even shows up in the print queue as waiting to print.

Happy Monday edam. Green is actually the result of two or more color mixed together. Lets try printing a self test report:
Make sure the All-in-One is on and loaded with unused, plain, white paper.
Press Setup . The Setup Menu appears.
Press the down arrow button to select Tools , and then press OK .
Select Self-test Report , and press OK . The self-test report prints.
Let me know the results of the self test. Are all the colors present on the self test or are you missing specific colors?
Thanks!

I can not open PDF files in safari

I can not open PDF files in safari. How can I fix this problem?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
