Acrobat 9 mixed orientation pdf file print problem

I have a pdf file with 10 pages or so. The pages change from landscape to portrait every so often. When I tell it to print, the file will only print until the orientation changes, then it will quit. Is there a way to get the file to print completely?

Problems with opening Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files

Hi. We use Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to convert our product documentation Word files into PDFs. During the last weeks our customers report more and more problems with opening these files. We usually deliver those on a DVD with Acrobat Reader 5 or another older version. (Please don't ask me why we're still on these old versions!) Did anyone experience similar problems with Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files and older versions of the Acrobat Reader? Does Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 work smoothly with the newest Acrobat Reader 9.1 download?
Please post your comments. Thx a lot - Kay

I would recommend distributing higher version of Reader as version 5 is just too old but looks like you can't go there.
Acrobat 9 PDFMaker and Adobe PDF printers by default create PDF 1.5 compaible files. PDF 1.5 compatible files can be opened only in Acrobat 6 and above. That's probably the reason why your customers can't see the contents.
What you can do is to change your conversion settings to produce PDF 1.4 compatible files:
- In Word, select Acrobat tab or Adobe PDF menu (depending on your version of Word), select Settings
- Select "advanced settings" in the dialog that comes up
- Choose compatibility as "Acrobat 5", PDF 1.4
IF you print to Adobe PDF printer, you'll find a similar setting in the print dialog.

Strange PDF files printing inverted colors!?

I help support an office with several macs. Two of my remote office computers have an odd problem. In Apple Preview PDF files print inverted colors. If I open the PDF in Adobe reader they print normal. They are both trying to print to Samsung ML320 printers. I have yet to find any settings in Preview or in the printer setup that would allow this to happen. For now my fix is to set Adobe reader as the default application for viewing PDF files. Worked until one employee (also running Mac) sent the remote offices a PDF file attached in Apple Mail. Somehow ONLY PDF files from this person force default to Apple Preview. How can a file override system settings to choose it's default app? Strange and again only files coming for this particular mac force a default to Preview app. So it seems these two problems combined are making things difficult here. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
A.J.

I am still having this issue on a users machine. It is to the point where I may just reimage the whole laptop. The end user went to print a two page PDF from Apple Preview the other day and the first page was inverted and the second was not! How is this possible? The PDF is fine when printed from other machines and again only Apple Preview does this. I can use Adobe PDF reader and it prints normal.

Why won't pdf files print from Safari?

why won't pdf files print from Safari? I get blank pages. They print fine from Firefox. OS X 10.8.4

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
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.

I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat.

Dear everyone
I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.
I read a european commission document explaining that
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/sep_usermanual.pdf
If Safari does not display pdf forms in the browser window, uninstall all older versions of Adobe Reader and download the most recent one. First close Safari and then install Reader. Launch Safari and you ought to be able to open the pdf files inside the Safari window. If you install Adobe Reader 10.1.x without first closing Safari, Safari will not display the pdf file inside its browser window until it is re-launched. For further help, please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-safari-plug-acrobat-x.html
I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat
but when I open a web page that I need to allow me to display and modify PDF files it is not working.
I checked the following web page
Troubleshoot Safari plug-in | Acrobat X, Reader X
that is recommending the following:
The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader.
This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
but after the new installation with this folder is completely empty and I am still
unable to open these pdf.
Does anybody knows anything else I can do?
Best regards
Ramon

Acrobat 7.1 OS: XP PRINT TO PDF file name problems

Here is all the info.
when i goto file print and select Adobe pdf as the printer.
The window shows up titled: Save PDF File AS
The current "Save in" window is Desktop / My Documents / CATALOG /     CATALOG PDF VERSION / PDF PORTFOLIO VERSION
The preloaded "File name" is: C:\Documents and Settings\Chip\My     Documents\2009 - A PO\09 - AH - Ellouise Abbott, Houston\09 - AD -     5846, Lloyd, IBB, j-227\INDEX-glass,mica,linen.pdf
The preloaded "Save as type" is: PDF files (*.PDF)
I am sending out this pdf to a lot of customers and I do not want them to see the preloaded information for file name.   Is this only happening because it is on my computer. OR when i send the same pdf to a different customer will they see the preloaded file name   "C:\Documents and Settings\Chip\My     Documents\2009 - A PO\09 - AH - Ellouise Abbott, Houston\09 - AD -     5846, Lloyd, IBB, j-227\INDEX-glass,mica,linen.pdf"
Below is a screenshot to give you a better idea:

Where are PDF files "printed" by Acrobat 8.3.1 in Mountain Lion?

I just got a new Mac Mini and transferred my old version of Acrobat Pro 8.3.1. I know that it will have some problems in Mountain Lion, but I only want to do a few simple things.
When I try to print to PDF and select Adobe PDF 8.0 as the printer (to create a PDF) file, then click "Print", no "Save" dialog box appears to ask where I want the file saved or what it should be named. It seems to be making a PDF file, since the printer icon appears on the dock for a few seconds, but I can't find the PDF file anywhere. I tried looking a "All My Files" sorted by date, but they don't seem to be there.
Does anyone know where the PDF files are being placed?
Meanwhile, of course, I am using the Mac's own PDF print option to make my PDF files, but I would prefer to use the Adobe one if possible.

You could try using spotlight to search for PDF files... short of that, you may have to ask Adobe.

Acrobat pdf file printer

I recently upgraded from CS3 Web Premium to CS4 Design Premium on my laptop.
Now I have a netbook at home and want to have the feature of creating a PDF by printing from an application.
Am I allowed to remove CS3 from the laptop and install the CS3 Acrobat on the netbook? If so, how do I do this? If not, is there another way, apart from purchasing a second copy of Acrobat, to have the above feature on the netbook?
Thanks in advance.
Len.

If you read the license agreement (EULA), you should find that you are allowed 2 working copies for your license. They are not supposed to be used at the same time, but are for the type of use you have - desktop and notebook. Why not simply use CS4 on the notebook?

HELP PLEASE Acrobat Pro 8 for MAC PDF files printing all black pages (other file formats JPG and TIFF and XLS etc are fine)

Pages print blackout or black washout fuzzy when using scanned image to PDF creation or "Save As" PDF from JPG or other. All other documents print perfectly. Just not PDF's. Worked fine up until today. If I open JPG, print to PDF and try to print that PDF file, page is all black. Any ideas on how to resolve? Thanks!!

PDF format printing problem... (complex 6i reports conversion to 10g)

Hi All,
I hope somebody has solved this problem and could give me a hint. We have a lot of complex reports in 6i (client\server) and PDF format is the only option for us in 10g, I believe.
The previews of the report in 6i and 10g (PDF format) are very similar. When we send the report to the printer from 6i preview, the printout also looks the same as in the preview (with about 3mm sides margin), but when we print a PDF version of
the report with the default settings for Acrobat Reader, the printout gets huge
margins and it is absolutely unacceptable for our company. When we change “Page Scaling:” to “None” in Acrobat Reader printing settings, some information of the report doesn’t get printed on the paper (being cut off). This report has a landscape orientation and a legal paper size and these settings are also setup in the printer driver as default (for Oracle PDF writer). The testing was done on the developer workstation with local OC4J and a local report server (10g iDS).
I also tried to generate this report into PDF file by Oracle 6i Reports (client-server). Same problem. In Acrobat in looks fine, but in Acrobat preview, it only looks OK
when "Page Scaling:” is set to “None”, however, when it gets printed the report
data is being cut off (left and top parts). If "Page Scaling" is set to "Fit to
Printable Area" (default), the report on paper gets resized with huge margins.
I hope it is not an Acrobat Reader v8 problem.
Thank you

Hi,
Was it a character mode report? While converting character mode reports to bitmap reports you have some layout problems. You might be facing similar issue it seems.
And there are many other formats supported by Reports 10g, not only pdf.

PDF File Size Problem

Hi,
I am using Adobe Acrobat Elements 7.0 in my computer to convert files like .txt and .doc to .pdf files. But currently I'm facing a problem with the converted .pdf file size. For example, my .doc file is 5MB and after I convert to a .pdf file, it becomes 10MB. The file size basically multiplies itself by 2.
I've tried converting .txt and .doc files and it gives me the same problem. I've tried reinstalling, tried all kinds of settings, and recreating user profile but it doesn't help. Can anyone help me? Thank you very much.

Sorry. The problem is caused when I want to password protect a .pdf using elements. So I used Adobe Reader to open the .pdf file then I'll print using Adobe Printer so that I can password protect it and output file size is actually 10 times the normal .pdf file.
Please help!!

Pdf files print incorrectly with 10.1.7 update

I upgraded to the 10.1.7 Acrobat update a few days ago. Now when I print pdf files all the text prints as a solid garbled mass of compressed overlapping characters. Graphic elements print fine. I'm running CS5.5 on OSX 10.6.8 and printing on an Espson Stylus Photo 2200.
I've never had any problems printing pdf files prior to this. Is this a bug with the 10.1.7 update, or is it an incompatibility with my printer driver? For now I will have to go back and restore to a previous version of Acrobat in order to print.
Has anyone else had this experience or know how to fix it?

As a temporary measure you can try print as image. Since this happens on all pdf files, you can try re-instaling your printer driver and see if that helps.

Placed PDF file prints jagged

My company recently upgraded from Adobe Suite CS2 to CS4. We also purchased a new printer. I am still figuring out things but I haven't found a solution to my problem yet. I am not sure if it is the program or the printer (Ikon Business Pro 560c - has post script - new drivers)
Problem:
Our company logo was created in Illustrator CS4 and saved as both .AI and .PDF
I placed the PDF file into Indesign CS4 along with other graphics and text. When I printed from Indesign the logo appeared jagged.
I replaced the file with the .AI version. It did clean up the edges some but not completely. They are still a bit wavery if you look close.
The regular person would not notice, but my boss is very detailed oriented and pressuring me to fix this. I don't understand why a vector image that is supposed to retain quality no matter the size (large or small) would look blurry.
This has also happened with text that has been converted to outlines. (usually small text)
Let me know if you need more information. I did not get my degree in graphic design, and am self taught so I am hoping this is something that can be easily fixed. Thanks for any input.

I Placed both of these, blew them up to 300%, turned them sideways on letter-size paper and printed them on my HP Laserjet. They look fine.
I can make these look pretty bad if I choose Print > Graphics > Send Data: Proxy. You've got it set for All, or Optimized Subsampling, right?
It might also help to set your printer for Postscript only. Sometimes PCL printers do some funny things with vectors.
And I'd be willing to bet Peter's suggestion of going to PDF and printing that fixes it, even in PCL.

Safari 7.0.4 will not allow Acrobat to open PDF files, Works ok with Chrome?

I cannot open PDF files with Acrobat using Safari 7.0.4
No problem if I use Chrome
Help

OK I will try to elaborate this time with pictures so it is clear what I am asking and what the issue I am facing is.
The specific option I want to be able to use from within the Adobe Acrobat Pro user interface is
File\Create\Batch Create Multiple Files
When I select that menu item a floating tool bar thing pops up that I can drag and drop files onto.
If I drag excel or powerpoint documents onto it and press OK it converts them fine. If I drag MS word documents into it the documents appear in the list but when I click OK it says no files processed.
In the process of troubleshooting I also tried using the Add Files button. That is when I discovered that MS word documents (*.doc, *.docx) are not showing up in the list of supported file types.
The same thing happens when I try converting a single file using the File\Create\Create PDF From File menu item. Just like above the MS word documents do not show up in the list of supported file types.
Looking in my registry entries as suggested by the article linked to by one of the posters above I can see both *.doc and *.docx types registered in the correct place.
Unless I can use the batch convert command as intended by the time my trial period runs out in 13 days I cannot justify buying this software. If converting the documents one at a time was acceptable I would just use Save As PDF from within MS Word which works just fine. I need the batch convert function so I can convert my whole library of word documents to PDF at once.
Any further assistance greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Gray
