Hello PW, I am having this problem and all suggestions haven't worked yet. Where is the Preferences|Documents you are referring to? I am on a PC and using Windows.

Printing error "The document could not be printed", ok "There were no pages selected to print" WHY?

I have a file that is 2.52MB and when I go to print it it gives me the error box "The document could not be printed" I click OK and get "There were no pages selected to print" I made sure that I chose the All pages button. I also tried the Pages and selected all the pages. But here is the funny part. I have Adobe Profesinal and I have converted imged PDF' to searchable PDF's meany times. Although the original document was already searchable I ran the convertion tool on the original searchable PDF and now the file is 33.5MB and now I can print this document. Is there a security tool that was added to the original document?

After a sucessfull install, why am I receiving the "This document could not be printed", and "There are no pages selected to print" errors after a restart?

I have ran into this issue a few times and I don't think the reinstall is the problem. I have some End Users who are telling me they can't print from the IE. Our environment uses IE8 to print forms. I will install the application ( Adobe Reader XI ) and it will work fine for that day. Once they restart, the errors appear and they can no longer print. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Two things to try: open Adobe Reader | Edit | Preferences
Documents: change 'View documents in PDF/A mode' to Never
Security (Enhanced): uncheck 'Enable Protected Mode at Startup'

The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (114).

After adding some sticky notes to a PDF in Adobe Reader i went to save it and it comes up with "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (114)." and will not let me save it. Please can you advise if there is anyway of saving this document with the sicky notes in?

The problem is most likely document corruption. Try to work on a new copy from the original source.

When I try to save a doc to my server I sometimes get this: The document could not be saved. There was a Macintosh system error (-5000). What does it mean?

What kind of file are you saving, and what sort of clientserver setup do you have?
If you're using MS Office, it doesn't play nice with OS X Server, particularly with network homes.

Hi,

Printing error messsage "The document could not be printed","There were no pages selected to print"

Two error messages "The document could not be printed", followed by "There were no pages selected to print" pops up when printing a PDF document to a HP designJet 750c+ from a windows 7 machine if "process on Computer" option is chosen from the Advanced tab. It works fine from an xp machine. I have tried on both PDF versions 9.0.0 and XI.
If "process on computer" option is not chosen, then it prints fine but it takes atleast 10- 15 min for the plotter to print.
Any Suggestions???

Thanks Sara,
No, I've deselected the "Enable Enhanced Security" and again I see this 2 error windows.

"The Document Could Not be Printed" "There were no pages selected to print"

OSX 10.6.6
Acrobat Pro 9.4.1
I am getting this error when printed from certain PDF files. My best guess is it is a font conflict because if I change the font in the document and re-export the file the document prints fine. But changing the font (and it happens with multiple fonts) is not an option.
Most of my documents are very large (up to 1,500 pages) and I use an InDesign plug in to merge data to create my PDFs.
I can print the document out of InDesign CS3 without any problems. If I open the file in Apple's Preview it prints or if I log out and log back in under a different user it prints.
But when this documents are printing out of acrobat I get those errors. It won't print to any of my mupliple printers (USB or network).
Spent an hour on the phone with Adobe today and got no answers at all. They are telling me it a corrputed user issue. (that is only effected in acrobat when printing certain documents.... OK).
With all the messing around I have done I'm guessing it has something to do with certain fonts during the export of the PDF from InDesign.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. I have been fighting with this issue for a while now and today it is causing a major issue.
Just let me know if you need any additional information and thanks in advance for your help.

I was also receiving the message "The Document Could Not be Printed" I am on 10.6.4 with Acrobat 9.4.1. I did not get the second part of the message though "There were not pages selected to print". Anyway, I got mine to work by going to Preferences - Print & Fax. I selected my printer and clicked Options & Supplies. Under the driver tab I changed the "Print Using:" box to Generic PostScript Printer. I'm not sure if this is what you are supposed to do. I'm not an expert but it worked for me so I am going with it.

Two weeks ago the following problem commenced ... I can not print any PDF documents as it says "There were no pages selected to print". How do I fix this issue?

I have reloaded drivers and re-installed Reader and my Printers but no change.

First of all, tell us WHY you are working on a PDF.
Then give us some sensible details, please:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

What causes the error "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document

(131)", when trying to save an edited PDF in Acrobat Professional X (10)?
There are no security settings, no password, and no document restrictions in effect on the PDF.
I am the Windows access-control-list owner of the document and also have full-control administrative permissions for it.
Trying to save the PDF with a different name does not eliminate the error message or the overall inability to save the document.

This isn't a security thing at all. It means that Acrobat found something in the PDF which it didn't like - something which is wrong.

The document could not be saved. There was a Macintosh system error (-38).

I am getting this error when I try to save a document that I am working on in Acrobat. I thought Macintosh system errors went away with OS 9?
Please let me know your thoughts.

I thought Macintosh system errors went away with OS 9?No Simeon, there are many this one sounds more an Acrobat file issue rather than an OS X system problem. Have you checked on the Adobe forums? Have you tried a "Save As" on the file?

The document could not be printed...

I have users that seem to encounter the following errors on a regular basis. No, it does not occur on every multipage PDF file, however it happens frequently. When attempting to print multi-page documents - we receive the following errors:
The document could not be printed
Followed by:
There were no pages selected to print
My question is;
How do I resolve it?
Is there any suggestions as to what could be creating this issue?
I have scanned through the Support forum and have not found any variable suggestion(s) that will remedy my problem. Creating another PDF, printing to PDF or printing to XPS only results in the error message. I have asked users to create a new PDF from the source. This is not a guaranty that the problem is resolved and it's not long before the issue is encountered again.

I just wanted to share my finding to the issue I posted the other day...in case this information could help others:
My office upgraded to Acrobat XI a few months ago and my original post has been a common problem encountered by most of my users. Often with great frequency. I spent hours researching this issue yesterday in the hopes of finding an answer for my irritated users.
Unfortunately, on this forum (or any other) I could not find any information that was useful. I read extensively about Acrobat Distiller and even tested many different configurations. Some of the suggestions recommended that I just recreate the PDF from the original source, something wrong with my printer, etc. Regarding recreating the PDF, in many scenarios our users are the recipients of the PDF's and not the original author. Therefore, recreating the document is not an option. It is also hard to blame the printer when every other document will print fine, even most PDF's from the Reader!
Yes, I chatted with Support which spent forty five minutes verifying that we owned the product and than never had an answer only to tell me that I can purchase a support plan.
Finally, I had to try other PDF applications and it WORKED! The best of the group was NitroPDF. I manage to print documents that I re-open in Acrobat and still have the problem. Not a good solution to have to support to applications...I think I am going to have to drop one of them….

The document could not be printed with Acrobat Pro 9.5.1

All at once the Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9.5.1 gives the error 'The document could not be printed', 'there were no pages select to print'.
I have no idea what the problem is, all printing from other applications is fine, without any problem. A pdf in an email can be printed from my iPhone, but not from the PC (win 7 Ultimate SP1, 64 bit).
All pdf's have this problem, no matter if they stem from a download or made with Word or InDesign.
I de-installed and installed Acrobat Pro, no result. I also de-installed and installed the whole CS4 bundle, no result.
I also re-installed the printer, no luck.
I visited a lot of fora without succes. Is there someone that can help me with this?
Thanks,
Cor

Hi,
Thanks for reporting the problem.
It seems you are unable to print any pdf from Acrobat. You mentioned that you are able to print the same PDFs from iphone and other devices.
Are you able to print from any other application(e.g. word, notepad) from the same machine where you are seeing the issue. It looks to me that your machine is not able to establish contact with the printer but your other devices are able to.
Please confirm.
Thanks,
Atul

Reader 9 app.execMenuItem ("SaveAs") throw: The document could not be...

I have a compatibility problem with Reader 9.
I have designed a PDF with Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1. and a button, the JS code:
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
But if I use Reader 9, get the error message:
"The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (105)." (if I use Reader 7 or 8 version works).
Why? How do I solve this?
Thank you!

Hi guys
Exactly, if you save from the standard menu options (File > SaveAs) gives exactly the same error.
After giving the error, if I try to save again it saves correctly!
Step by step, the process:
1. Download the PDF of a web application.
2. IE download process question if: Open? or Save? document.
3. Choose Open.
4. In Reader (or Acrobat) 9 go to File> SaveAs -> and click on "save" produces the error.
What does the message: "There was a problem reading this document (105)."?
Why occurs only with version 9 of Acrobat or Reader?
Add an image of the case described, to illustrate it better:
Document properties:
Certainly it is very hard to work with this Adobe technology... not control what happens within Acrobat / Reader and errors arise "unexplained" or seemingly meaningless.
Each new version is a real headache
