Acrobat 8 - "Print/Copies" Reset to "1" after print job

I am a Windows Acrobat 8 Pro user.
When I print more than one copy of a PDF document, I select "Print" and change the number of "Copies" to the number I need.
The feature I request is that the number of "Copies" gets automatically reset to "1" after a print job.
I find that when I need a quick copy a another PDF document, I often just select the print option button. When I do this I get the same number of copies that I requested for my previous job because the number of copies is sticky and does not reset itself.
Microsoft Word has a number of copies feature but this number resets to "1" copy after a print job.
This would be a very helpful feature for Acrobat.

As a counter, I find the reset to 1 that WORD does very annoying. I weekly print out 9 copies of a page, front and back. When I turn it over, I always have to reset to 9 again. I think the reset is a good idea on closing. However, during active use, I would rather see it left as is or give the user an option.

    Hi screen name,
    Adobe PDF printer gets installed when you install Acrobat 10 Pro.
    To use this printer you need to purchase Acrobat. Once the trial period is over you cannot use the printer to create pdf files.
    An alternative way for you is to utilize Microsoft's own inbuilt pdf engine.
    You can simply open the file and select 'Save as' and in the type list select 'pdf'

  • I have Adobe Acrobat X, the newest full version. After installing Firefox 4.0 I cannot anymore print using the Adobe pdf converter. Is there a fix for this?

    When using print command from either Firefox or within an internet page open, Firefox/Acrobat are not able to print anything. All such print jobs need to be cancelled manually and Firefox locks and in a few cases I have to restart the computer. I am running Windows 7.

    Yes - there is a fix... called IE9... http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-9/worldwide-languages

  • Firefox 28 hangs when I try to print to Acrobat PDF printer

    Hello all!
    I have observed a problem when I try to print a webpage in Firefox v28 using the Acrobat PDF Printer (Acrobat Pro 9.5.5) installed in a Virtual Machine (VMware View 5.2) with Windows 7 64 bits. The printing dialog hangs (no response) after the "Save as" pdf dialog. Then I have to force Firefox to close, and afterward a Acrobat PDF conversion dialogs appears with the progress bar stopped at the middle. I also have to close this afterwards.
    The others programs (Office, IE, Notepad...) are able to print through the PDF printer without problems. The problem appeared after the automatic update to Firefox v28, since when I downgrade to Firefox v26 the problem disappears.
    I checked a similar configuration in a physical computer (W7 64 bits, Acrobat Pro 9.5.5, Firefox v28), and everything runs good, so I think it is a change that happened in Firefox v28 that has some problem with the VM configuration. I also have tried to change the Firefox profile, reset Firefox and reset the printing settings and reinstall Acrobat. No luck.
    I would like to know if somebody know some change in Firefox v28 related with the printing or related to some service or update that can have some problem in the virtual machine.
    Any help is welcome!
    Thanks!

    When you updated, did you reset the printer settings in '''about:config''' under '''print.print_printer'''?

  • Officejet Pro 6835 self-cancels print jobs with more than 3 copies

    I am printing 5x7 invitations for a business.  No matter how many copies I request, y brand new HP Officejet Pro 6835 will self-cancel the print job after 3 invitations have printed.  So if I have 30 invites to print, I have to print them in batches of 3.  Tonight I had 150 invites to print - so it is a long envening.  The error displayed on my HP ENVY laptop is that there is an error and can't print (not informative).  The error on the HP printer is that the print job has been cancelled.
    The other issue is that I am forced to print the 5x7 invites in landscape mode which is very slow.  Portrait mode would go much faster but for some reason the handshake between Word and the printer will not allow this to happen.  I've tried to custom configure the page set up to be 7x5, but Word will not save the custom configuraiton.
    Please help!

    Hi-
    Thank you for the suggestion but unfortuneately the hotfix did not solve the problem.  I am now getting between 2.5 to 3 copies.  Do you have any other thoughts?  I did install the hotfix on c:/ which was the default - was there another directory I should have chosen?
    As a side note, I am trying to print a batch right now and am trying to seperate the job into copies of 2.  Even this is not working.  About every very other card, I am getting a partially printed card and the print job cancels.  In a batch of 19 (10 print jobs of 2), I have 11 ruined cards because they have partially printed before the job self-cancels.  Very expensive to have a 60% ruin rate.
    Also, I would really like to be able to print in portrait rather than landscape mode.  I am estimating that printing in landscape mode takes more than 4.5 x (23 seconds) than portrait mode (5 seconds) - when printing 150 copies this results in a job being over an hour vs. closer to 15 minutes which is best case since I have to constantly restart the job.  I also suspect that landscpae mode is far less efficient in its use of ink than portrait mode.  Any help would be very much appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Acrobat 9 - Save PDF as Optimized leading to blurry print jobs

    Hi, I am looking for some insight into PDF's with optimized savings. I had a print job recently where some pages came out blurry and some pages did not. The previous job I did had no issues but the files files took a long time to send. SO this time I thought I would use the optimize option in Acrobat 9 to make the files smaller to send. I had the client check the quality on their end and of course the screen resolution was fine. What I am after is an answer to if the reason for some of the pages printing blurry was because of the optimize option I used when I sent them. From what I have quickly researched it seems that optimize does lead to blurry images. But if so then why did msot of the pages come out clean an d crisp and some of them come out blurry. Is that normal in this case? I am saving my PDF's originally from InDesign CS5 with printers marks and bleed. This is what I sent  the first time but of course like I said this time I saved them as optimized in Acrobat 9. It is the only thing I can think of to cause the blurry printing. Is it solely due to the save setting or could it be that the printers Acrobat version was earlier tham ine and this caused troubles? Appreciate any insight so I can avoid this again.

    All pages were ready for high quality print - all imiages were at least 250dpi, most were 300dpi. All fine for quality print.
    Optim was just standard which I should have changed. ANy idea why some pages were blurry and others weren't? <- Nothing to do with original resolution since they were all fine as stated above.
    edit: Just got my own copy of the job. It's not really bluriness, it's more that all the fonts have a slight fuziness around them. Has to be from the optim save I did, but still weird that not every supplied PDF turned out like that. Each PDF I get I make sure open in PS and make sure they are CMYK then save as an .eps and then use Adobe Distiller to open the .eps and save again (to make sure no fonts bomb on the printers side). This does not cause loss of info, so it's only the optim save which I should have insisted on only being used a digital proofing PDF and not to send.

  • Acrobat PDF Printer Hangs in Windows 8

    I am running Windows 8 Enterprise RTM  64-bit on an Intel i7-3770 3rd gen CPU, Z77 chipset. I've found that most PDF printers I have been using on Windows 7 now hang on 8, including the Acrobat X printer (latest version). I have found one free alternative that works fine, but would like to get back to using the Acrobat printer. Will Adobe be releasing an update that addresses the hang?
    Above is a screenshot afterr more than ten minutes:

    Hello All
    I have been struggling with this same problem of Printing to Acrobat PDF driver freezing up not only the print spooler, but also the software I was printing from, on Windows 7 64Bit, using both acrobat 9.4 and Acrobat X with the same freeze, stall lockup result.
    I think this is the same problem you are having.
    I found many questions about this online but no useful answers, and alot of fingerpointing trying to blame different programs and combinations of software.
    The 1 solution, which created a PDF and did not freeze, was to switch of the choice of a saving location in the PDf driver and setting a fixed PDF save location instead of the ASK for location option.
    This worked but was a real pain having to move and rename the file each time.
    This got me thinking that there was actually nothing wrong with the PDF driver.
    The problem seemed to be the user input to save the file to a certain location.
    I then experimented and found that if I was fast enough with a file name, that the save to location option did not freeze up when creating the PDF.
    By repeatedly trying to print and looking at the print dialog box I noticed that after a count of 5 seconds the Acrobat PDF print driver progress box greyed slightly (Asif loosing focus) and after that happened there was no hope of a successful PDF.
    The 5second timer got me thinking about a windows timeout, rather than a PDF option.
    PDF Print Freeze Problem Solution:
    Windows 7 64 bit (And I assume Windows 8 too) has a default program timeout of 5 seconds after which Windows considers a program to be NOT RESPONDING.
    The time during which the PDF printer is waiting for a response from you for a save location, is seen as inactive by Windows and Windows decides that the Print driver has stalled.
    Something then changes anough to effect the driver, and once the PDF print driver is allowed to carry on and save the PDF it can't anymore and stalls.
    Solution is to edit the HungAppTimout in the Windows Registry, and set it to something like 20000 to 30000 = 20 to 30 seconds.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc978614.aspx (Info regarding the Registry Key)
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\HungAppTimeout
    This then give you 20-30 seconds to select a save location for your PDF.
    In my case (Windows 7 64bit) the Registry entry was missing.
    I had to create it from scratch and reboot.
    If ENTRY IS MISSING:
    Goto the folder in the registry
    Right Click  - NEW - STRING VALUE
    Name it exactly as above including CAPS: HungAppTimeout
    Set the value to 20000 (For 20 seconds or more if you need it)
    Reboot Windows.
    After that Printing to PDf with Acrobat works 100%.
    Note this option also helped on my Windows XP PC.
    I hope this prevents others from struggling as much as I did to fogure this out.
    Regards

  • Reader 9 Acrobat PDF Printer Driver Continuously Installs

    Since I have installed Reader 9, the Acrobat PDF Printer Driver Continuously Installs in the background degrading system performance. Does anyone else have this problem? It auto created a System Restore point, so check that. I am running XP with all patches applies.

    Hi Mike,
    I have exactly the same problem that you describe. At first I thought it might be malicious software that was installing a fake driver, but after running Malware, Spybot and some other programs, I'm still left with the problem. I have a lot of Adobe software installed (Adobe Premiere Elements 7, Adobe Acrobat Pro 8, Adobe Audition 3, Adobe PhotoShop 7 and of course Adobe Reader 9, plus as you indicate Adobe Air and Acrobat.com I'm not sure when my problem started, since I only recognized it when I went to do a system restore. It appears to install the driver about once a minute. This leaves me with about 3 days worth of useless restore points.
    The only advice that I have received is to un-install all my Adobe stuff, then check the System Restore, then one by one re-install the packages checking each time what happens in the system restore.
    Have you found any solution since your original post?

  • XDC - print a empty page after the print job

    Hi Folks,
    i have a problem. i use a xdc file to select multiple trays and after the printing job an additional separator sheet should be "printed" . Its only a empty sheet, which should be at the end of the printjob.
    Could somebody give me a hint? I checked the pcl commands and i got the idea to send a line feed and carriage return command, but im not sure whats happen and if this is possible, could i select the tray for this?
    Thanks a lot for any Idea or Tip,
    kind regards
    Alex

    Wasil, thanks for the response, but i havent found any info to do a separator sheet in this link. I know that i have to do this in the xdc, but i dont know how. I found a plc command to do this, but the problem is that i not understand how to fill this in the xdc.
    Here ist the Part from my XDC File. Ok, its possible that this is at the wrong point, but im sure i have an error in the escaping.
    The Printer i use is a Ricoh MP5002sp. I only found the escaping like i did, but i get a pdf generation error with this part:
       <seq id="postDoc"><ESC/>%-12345X@PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY=""&#13;&#10;<ESC/>H1B\L%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL&#13;&#10;<ESC/>H1B\L&l4H&#13;&#10;<ESC/>H1B\L&l1T\0&#13;&#10;<ESC/>M\B\S\N\U &#13;&#10;<ESC/>U\LJob : \I&#13;&#10;<ESC/>U\LDate: \D&#13;&#10;<ESC/>U\LTime: \T&#13;&#10;<ESC/>E&#13;&#10;</seq>
    The PLC commands i foun on a website looks like this:
    \H1B\L%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL    <-- Puts printer into PCL mode
    \H1B\L&l1H    <-- This command pulls the sep sheet from Tray 2
    \H1B\L&l1T\0    <-- Job Reset. Sets USTATUS counters etc,
    \M\B\S\N\U    <-- Prints user name in large characters
    \U\LJob : \I    <-- Prints spool ID number
    \U\LDate: \D   <-- Prints date
    \U\LTime: \T    <-- Prints time
    \E    <-- Exits banner page and begins actual print job
    But in my case it will be enough to select the tray and "print" the empty sheet...
    thanks a lot for your your help...and it could be a easy task...but it looks like im a "dau" :-)

  • HP Laserjet utility starts and fails to go away after print job

    I have an HP Laserjet 1300 hooked to an Airport base station. After the Leopard install (a default, Upgrade install from 10.4.10), I had to re-ADD that printer in the Print & FAX Preferences panel -- it wasn't simply remembered. That went fine, and printing works as expected.
    EXCEPT: The HP Laserjet 1300 "utility" application (for managing the print queue) now activates with each print job -- not just when there is a problem such as "out of paper" as before. No problems are actually reported during or after the print job. And when the print job finishes, it doesn't go away. I have to manually Quit it.
    I can't find any option to have the "utility" activate only when it has some problem to report (i.e., the way it worked under Tiger), or to make it go away automatically when all print jobs are finished. Any suggestions?
    NOTE: When ADDing the printer in the Print & FAX utility, it did go looking for "new drivers", but didn't announce it found or installed anything new.

    Thank you. That's what I was looking for:
    Right click on the printer utility icon in the dock when you see it still sitting in there. Select "Auto Quit" from the pop up menu. Click on the utility to select it and open its queue window. Manually quit the utility.
    After those steps it appears the utility now activates in the dock and then goes away after each print job that finishes normally.
    Solved!

  • I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acr

    I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

    Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

  • Print job stays in queue after it's printed & hangs subsequent jobs

    I'm having a very frustrating printer problem under Leopard. A print job will stay in the queue and it's status remains as "printing" even after it's already printed. This happens especially when more than one job is in the print queue. The only way to get the subsequent jobs to print is to delete the hung job & then the other jobs will all print properly. The printer queue also remains active in the dock until all the jobs go through & I physically close the queue. If I send a single print job it will go through properly & the queue will close automagically. Subsequent multiple print jobs will also hang the queue just as described above.
    I'm printing to an HP Color LaserJet 2600n connected via USB. I've installed all of the latest HP printer drivers & still no luck. Any ideas?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    I too have had this exact same problem with a HP 1022 ever since upgrading to Leopard. It's intermittent but very irritating. HP were no help and I have just learnt to live with it. I have to clear the previous print job and sometimes turn the printer on and off again. I also have a HP K5400 which is a terrific colour ink jet printer. Unfortunately you cannot set the print quality options for Pages and Numbers documents, so I have to save them as pdf's first and then print them. It's fine with MS Office 08 and pretty much all other apps. I think I'm going to give HP printers a miss when I change them - but this may be for many years...

  • HP LaserJet 300 M375 nw cancels print job after a few pages

    I just received a new replacement MFP through the insurance I purchased through Office Depo. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software on my desktop and my work laptop in order to get this one working.  I'm on wifi with both computers. The printer is automatically cancelling my print jobs after 7 - 9 pgs when I'm trying to print 25 or 50 pages at one time.  Also, I'm not able to get the "scan" icon to show up on my desktop on my laptop.

    Hello! Could you please provide more information regarding the issue, such as which version of MAC OS X you are using? Any additional information such as error messages or lights on the printer will be helpful in resolving your issue. Thanks!

  • Printer stays in doc after print job

    Hello
    Since I moved to Leopard, I notice that when a print job is done, the printer icon/app stays in the dock. I have to Quit the app for it to go away.
    As far as I can remember, in previous OS versions, the printer app would appear in the dock and when the print job was over, it would quit automatically.
    How can I get it to automatically quit after a print job, in Leopard?
    Thanks

    I believe that leaving the printing system running (which is why it stays in the dock) is based on the assumption that you may wish to print again and don't want to incur the startup delay each time you print a page or two. If my printer is on, I leave it in the dock. When I turn off the printer, I exit the printing system manually.
    As noted, there is an option to start it up each time you want to print something.
