Unable to print mulitple pdf docs.

Hi, I have a user who is unable to print multiple pdf's. It just prints 1 pdf out of the selected 10.
OS: Windows XP Pro
Adobe: Reader 8.1
Printer: Konica Minolta 750/600 (PCL driver)
User has also tried on another HP printer (PCL driver) and got the same result.
Is this an adobe issue or printer
Any thoughts please, Thanks...

I had the same problem today with new installs of Windows 7, and Adobe Reader X. Try going to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/836/cpsid_83688.html and in Adobe Reader click on Help then the Repair link. It worked right away.
Good Luck

I am unable to print a pdf from a website through Adobe Reader on my mac. It keeps telling me that no pages have been selected - I have uploaded the latest version of Adobe with no luck and have never had this issue before !

Hi bengaunt ,
Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums, you can try printing as an image.
Open the file>Print>advanced>check the box "print as an image" OK

Unable to print to pdf from any of my applications

Hello,
I am running Acrobat 8.0 on windows 7. Toshiba Qosmio 64 bit. I am unable to print to pdf from any of my applications. Office, Mozilla, Lotus 1-2-3 and others. When I choose the print option. And from the drop down menu choose Adobe PDF as the printer. And when I click to continue I get the little metered bar showing it's working, but then I get an error in the printer que. I don't even get an option what to save it as or where to save it to. It just goes straight to the metered bar showing its working. And it does this for all my programs where I can print to pdf. Can anyone help me? Also, this is a student version. Could the student version be unable to do this?
Thank you,
JimmyJoney

Although Acrobat 8 is not supported on Win 7, you can try a few things. First, apply all updates to Acrobat 8. If this doesn't help, check to make sure that the PDF port was created. If not, you can try:
Open Control Panel, select Printers
* Click Add a Printer
* Click Add a local printer
* Select Use an existing port (should be preselected), change the port to "Desktop \*.pdf (Adobe PDF Port), click Next
* On the next page, click Have Disk...
* Click Browse and browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF (or wherever you have Acrobat installed), click OK.
* It should now show a series of "Adobe PDF Converter" entries. Select the first one and click Next
* Change the printer name if desired, uncheck the box to use it as a default printer, click Next
* Do not print a test page, click Finish
* Find your new printer in Printers. Right click on it and select Properties, Advanced
* Click "Print directly to the printer", click OK
These last steps are detailed in the following discussion.

Can't print a PDF doc using Adobe Reader X

Previously had Adobe Reader 8. First time ever experienced a problem in printing a PDF document, message read "you need to install a printer". My printer is installed, can print in Word, Excel, photos, etc. Downloaded latest drivers to my printer, installed Adobe Reader X, opened the document, but alas, it encountered a problem and closed down. So I am still unable to print a PDF document. I've been around in circles trying to find a solution but haven't been successful. Can anyone help?

Normally if I come across unprintable PDF files, first I would check the property to see if it has print restriction. If so, I would turn to a pdf password remover to remove it.
But your case is a little strange, maybe you can try to print with another pdf reader first.
That's all I can think about. Hope it helps.

Unable to print a pdf document

I have an HP Officejet 4315 All-in-One Printer and have been unable to print an pdf document. I have Adobe X installed.
How can I get the print to work on pdf documents?

How are you trying to print to pdf?
Don't go via PostScript or Acrobat Distiller, which are old deprecated technology.
You use:
Menu > File > Print > PDF (button bottom left) > Save as PDF…

Which version of Adobe Reader were you using earlier when printing using Dell printed was working fine?

Unable to print to pdf from a pdf

We're having a issue where we're unable to print to pdf from a pdf with acrobat 9 std, so far a 64bit machine. We get the following errors
"the document could not be printed"
"there were no pages selected to print"
We see the issue with all pdfs. Acrobat 7 std works fine, as does printing to pdf from other applications with 9 std. So far it only effects acrobat 9 std. We've repaired the installation and updated to the latest. We do have however only see this with one machine, but we haven't looked past this one machine yet...Any ideas?
thanks all,

XP pro 64bit. Just updated to 9.3.3, still have the error being thrown.
The user fills in a form from our intranet and then prints it with the adobe printer creating the illusion that its write protected. I'm not one to stop them, given the forms are low value and all. Possibly if the process is uncomplicated (that's key here) then saving the document to the desktop and making the change and write protecting it there before transmittal might be an alternative, as long as it doesn't rely on passwords and keys...
Sorry I'm an adobe noob.
thanks,

Suddenly I'm unable to print any pdf to any of my 3 printers.

Suddenly I'm unable to print any pdf to any of my 3 printers. Running Windows 8.1. I did have Acrobat 11 installed. When i would try to print I receive the message "unable to print document". When I click OK i then get a new message stating "no pages were selected to print". However, the dialog box clearly indicates that the proper pages WERE selected to print. i finally decided to uninstall Acrobat. i reinstalled Acrobat DC and still nothing prints. The same message occurs each time. The version of Adobe Read DC I'm using is 2015.007.20033. Please help.Can'

Juanrva is correct, the kb document is of absoltuely no help. I already found the link to the KB document and performed all those suggestions. Actually, I'm a bit disappointed that I'm referred back to a troubleshooting link that I was already referred to! All of my drivers are up to date and, like Juanrva, I, too, can print from any other software or program. My issue, though, developed 2 days ago with XI. When I couldn't find a way to fix it, I uninstalled XI with the intention of reinstalling it but DC was the only install option. After installing DC i tried to print again with the same results. I then tried to print as an image and that doesn't work either. I'm tempted to say that I'd like to go back to XI but I don't think that's a good solution. There was no warning, I could print from Xi on Wednesday at 7:44 PM but could not at 8:15 PM. I didn't upload or download anything, did not install anything new and my security and anti-virus program indicates there has been no suspicious activity. In the meantime, I have people sending me PDF's daily, all of which I need to print but cannot.

I have a similar problem. I have adobe 9.0 pro and word 2007. Everything was fine until a couple of days ago. Now when I try to create a pdf, it doesn't work. When I try to print to pdf I get the following error
Adobe PDF Settings file read error in :
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\Standard.joboptions
I have tried repairing the program, recovery to an earlier date, updating, removing and reinstalling both adobe and word 2007 and still get the same error. Anyone have an idea what I should do next. I have gone into the add-ins and adobe is enabled.
Thanks, I hope someone has an idea.

Why don't you make being able to print internet PDF Docs on a higher priorty? I have to switch over to Chrome whenever I need to print PDF bills.

I receive all my billing via the internet (PDF documents) thus virtually eliminating any snail mail.
My inability to print these internet PDF docs has required my downloading of chrome just to get my everyday bills.
I am willing to be patient for a short time, but if a "fix" isn't available soon, I will be switching over to chrome on a permanent basis.

If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
'''Right''': 12.7
'''Top''': 12.7
'''Left''': 12.7
'''Bottom''': 12.7
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

Cannot print a pdf doc. No problem with others

Hello, I have a Canon MX860 wireless printer. I can print anything EXCEPT pdf docs. I had this same problem with other printers connected to my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions?

I think we need to know what Sibleyfam is using as a PDF reader. I have had difficulties printing PDFs using Adobe Reader to various HP LaserJets but if I open the files using Preview they print without any problem at all. Right-click or Control-click on the PDF icon and select the Open With option... then slide across to the available applications and select Preview... if, of course, the document was opening in Adobe Reader previously. If it won't print from Preview it could be a postscript error generated by a bad font in the PDF. Opening the file in Photoshop or similar so you are, effectively, rasterizing the font data may solve the problem if a dodgy font is the issue. Converting the file to Postscript should also produce the same fix though I just 'printed' a PDF as a .ps file and the text was still selectable making me think that the font problem (if it is this) will not disappear after the conversion.
I hope this helps eliminate something even if it doesn't solve your problem.

Unable to print to PDF Oversize pages from FrameMaker 9.0 and 7.2

Hi All,
I am trying to print to PDF a publication that is full of oversize wiring diagrams. The pages are all images ranging in size from standard A3 and A4 siz sheets through to a foldout being 1470 mm W X 297 mm H. We have no problem printing A3, A4 and 630 mm W X 297 H. These are all Portrait images. When we set up our custom print size to accomodate the 1470 mm W X 297 mm H we get the pages without the content, and even some of the oversize pages are not the correct size on print.
The page sizes we are using are:
A4
A3
630 x 297 mm
840 x 297 mm
1050 x 297 mm
1260 x 297 mm
1470 x 297 mm
The procedures we are using to set up the printing are:
1.      Print to PDF (Do not Save to PDF, you do not have control over paper sizes)
Under Print Setup make sure you select PDF Driver and select the Paper size as largest that is in your book. Example: If A4 and A3 pages, print to A3
2.      Select Generate Acrobat Data and select
Note: Back in FM Print dialogue; make sure Print to File is turned OFF, before you click Print
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
AJ Wilkinson

AJ,
I tried to duplicate the scenario and ran into issues when using very wide custom pages. For whatever reason, FM tries to output the 1497x297 as 297x1497, no matter what the controls for Portrait or Landscape are set. Also changing the dimensions in the printer instance Custom Page Size didn't seem to have the desired effect.
I checked the .ps files being produced, and in all cases the page and file Bounding Boxes get defined as:
%%PageBoundingBox: 0 0 842 1786
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 842 1786
Whereas, in the same file the custom page size is defined as:
%%BeginFeature: *CustomPageSize
1786 842 0 0 0
   4 dict begin
   3 1 roll
   2 array astore /PageOffset exch def
   2 mod 0 eq {exch} if
   2 array astore /PageSize exch def
   /ImagingBBox null def
   currentdict end setpagedevice
%%EndFeature
Note: that the H W components are transposed.
Something is definitely screwy here. The content appears to be created off the page in many scenarios.
I tried all permutations of H W, Portrait/Landscape and Paper Feed directions, but could not get output created that had the long dimension horizontal (i.e. landscape orientation). Even with pre-defined page sizes, I wasn't completely able to control the output orientation.
I then changed the defined page size within FM from a portrait aspect ratio, i.e. H > W to a landscape, W > H. I was then able to get the content appearing correctly in the 1497x297 layout. It looks like FM is trying to be "smart" and thinks it knows better as to what you want on output.
First, check that your FM page size has W > H. If printing from a Book, where you have mixed page sizes and orientations, I believe that the first file sets the orientation for the whole lot. So if the first one is a standard portrait page and you have large landscape inserts, and are trying to print to oversize pages in the landscape mode with Generate Acrobat Data on to ensure page sizes are cropped - you're going to have orientation issues with the larger pages.
Try printing these large page sizes separately and use Acrobat to replace the pages from the book output.

CS5 Unable to print to PDF ... export to PDF works fine??

I can't print to PDF without going to PS first. Printing to the PDF is necessary for print booklet and printing separations, among other things. It will not print directlly to the PDF without first producing a PS file. I then have to convert the PS file to the pdf. The print to PDF worked just fine in CS3. Does anyone have an answer to this??

yes it is a recent install of CS5 but all the printer preferences remained the same. I printed the
test page and it does confirm that it is using the PDF9.0 driver.
As I said, this works perfectly with every other program I use, just NOT with the print function of InDesign CS5.
