Acrobat 9pro won't print to PDF

I am using Acrobat 9pro on my Windows XP x64 computer. When I use Acrobat and try to print to PDF I get the error messages "The document could not be printed." and "There were no pages selected to print." I can, however, print to PDF from other applications such as Word. This problem started suddenly a few months ago after having used the application fine for a year or two. The technical support person told me they wouldn't help me unless I paid $35 to upgrade to Acrobat 10! I'm at a loss.

I'm having this problem too. Acrobat 9.5.3 running on Win 7 x64. After updating Reader form X to XI, Acrobat stopped printing .
I've tried everything: repairing installation, complete installation, removing all the package, removing reader and acrobat, update printers driver, reinstall printers... nothing worked.
Now the only way I have to print is using Reader, that works properly.
This are the dialog boxes coming up: "Document can't be printed" "There were no selected pages to print". I can't have access to the printer setup window too, I guess this is connected to the same issue.
Thank you for your help

Acrobat CS3 won't print through XServe print server

Acrobat CS3 won't print through our XServe print server when connected by AppleTalk. Everything else prints fine. You can print the same .pdf with AppleTalk through Preview. And you can print with Acrobat through any other protocol but AppleTalk. The job spools, looks like it's going through but never reaches it's destination. We have 19 printers so it's not a single printer being cranky, and 35 Macs so it's not just a single Mac. All our users are on Active Directory and all are on the same subnet and VLAN.

Hello Scott,
If you look at the cups error log on the Xserve, does it give any clues as to why the Acrobat spool file is failing? Hopefully there is some indication as to which process is failing and why.
We're not using AppleTalk on our Xserve. All printer connections are set via LPR so I cannot offer any advice based on experience.

Acrobat Pro XI Mac won't print a .pdf file, but Apple Preview will print correctly

Hello,
I have Acrobat Pro XI for Mac. recently I've run into pdf files that will show the document on screen ok, show up on print preview screen ok, but when I send it to a printer I either get:
1. no printout... the document passes through the printer queue ok, but nothing comes out (no blank paper, nothing). no data seems to even reach the printer/print server. no error. the print job basically vanishes into thin air like the job was never sent
2. prints out with all the characters of a text substituted with squares (again, no error. just prints squares instead of text)
But when I print the same document using Apple's Preview program on the same machine, the file prints out fine.
I experience this problem with two different Macs, with two different OS versions. Again both machines will print the .pdf file fine using Apple Preview, but not with Acrobat Pro XI.
I've searched for this problem, but no one seems to have this problem. I've tried just printing one page, etc., and no difference (won't print, or print wrong using Acrobat, but prints fine using Preview)
the files are typically sent via e-mail from a vendor, or a web downloaded form (invoice, forms filled out. some are secure, some are not). and these are from multiple sources.
Any ideas what might be the problem, and how to fix this?
system:
Mac Pro (early 2008) and MacBook Pro (mid-2011)
MacOS 10.8.4 and 10.6.8 (multiple computers have this same problem)
Acrobat Pro XI, 11.0.04
printer: HP LaserJet 5MP (yes.. old.. but it works) via HP JetDirect + print server on LAN

I just found this solution on another board, I tried it (I removed the same file listed below) and it worked for me....
Safari won’t save or print PDFs: how to fix
:: Tuesday, January 29th, 2013 @ 5:29:46 am
:: Tags: Computers
If Safari won’t save or print PDFs (but views them without any problems), you probably have an Adobe PDF plug-in installed. In Safari, go to Help->Installed Plug-ins and do a search for “PDF.” If you have anything with “PDF” in it other than “WebKit built-in PDF,” that is probably the culprit.
On my computer, the problem was “AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin”. To remove it, I quit Safari, did a Spotlight search (Command-Option space) for that file name, and then dragged it to the trash. When I restarted Safari, I could print and save PDFs again. You can also manually find the plugins by going to the system “Library” folder (the one at the root of your hard disk, not in your user folder) and looking in the “Internet Plug-Ins” folder.
I’m on OS X 10.8.2, running Safari 6.0.2 (8536.26.17).

I have Windows 8.1 and Adobe CS6 - acrobat just stoped working, won't open anything won't print to pdf. HELP!

Please help me!! I have Windows 8.1 and Adobe CS6 creative Suite. Adobe Acrobat x just quit, It won't open anything and it wont print to PDF. I need this for work!

Typically, the repair is done from the Control Panel>Programs & Features. In the future, try that route. Glad you found something that worked. When you do come to the forums for help, you may not get an immediate response, but may have to wait for someone familiar with your issue happens to check the forum, possibly after work. In any case, glad you have a working product again.

Adobe InDesign 5 won't print Adobe PDF (Acrobat Pro 9) completely.

I just bought a new Dell XPS 14 with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I installed my CS Standard 5.0 and amongst a few other bugs with InDesign, I cannot print documents as PDFs. Only the first few pages will print.
I looked for an update and can't find anything...I am looking for recomendations as I have a draft due to a client.

Is the problem that you can't print the PDF (which is not an ID problem), or that you are trying to print your ID file to PDF and that fails? If the latter, do you see an error message of any sort? And why do you feel you must print to PDF instaed of Export?
Have you installed all the patches for the Suite?

Acrobat 9 Pro Extended - Print to PDF setup on Windows 7 64bit???

Hello,
I recently purchased a high-end laptop, running Windows 7 64-bit OS. I've installed my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended software but it will not be recognized as a print option under the printers setting. Is there an update to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, which fixes this problem? What can be done to have Acrobat show up as a print option? I bought the top of the line Acrobat so that I could MAKE PDF's. This program is completely useless to me if I cannot make PDF's with it!!!
ANY help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

Which version. I think it is a minimum of AA9.2 that is needed for X64. Anyway, you should probably either open Acrobat and do the update (help menu) or download all of the updates from Adobe>downloads>updates and install them in order. The current version is AA9.3.4.

Acrobat X: Can't print to PDF without admin right

Hi,
running Acrobat X pro on Win 7 64 Bit, I can't print to PDF from any application (e.g.ms office, chrome, open office, arcobat itsellf....) without admin rights. I just get the error message, that the printing failed.
However, starting the application with admin rights, and trying to print to pdf will work.
I already tried to repair the installation without success.
Here you can find some screenshots of my problem:
First, the printer properties, opened from excel:
the error message:
Best,

There is no free PDF printer driver from Adobe. That functionality is included in Acrobat and it used to be part of e.g. Pagemager in the past as well by ways of including Distiller. If you want it for free, you have to look elsewhere, otherwise buy Acrobat. On OSX it is also part of the operating system already, BTW.

Word document won't 'print' to PDF on proper paper size

I have a document in MS Word that's on a 5.5x8.5 page size. If I do a Save As, the resulting PDF uses the proper paper size, but it also shows color--which I don't want for this particular document.
When I do Print and choose Adobe PDF, I can choose Black/white which is great, but I'm struggling to get it to use the right paper size. I've tried ever combination I can think of in the Default Setting and Adobe PDF Page Size options, but can't get it to show anything but 8.5x11.
Any thoughts on how to get the right paper size using Print to PDF?

Is this a Word document generated by Adobe's RoboHelp product or just a document generated directly in Word?
If the latter, you are asking in the wrong place. Even if you are using RoboHelp, this looks more like a question to ask in the Acrobat forums.

Setting Printer Acrobat XI Default to print all PDF files last page first

Hello,
I have just recently upgraded to Mavericks and also have the Creative Cloud using Acrobat XI Pro. In using Reader 9, whenever I printed a PDF the output would print in reverse order, so all I would have to do is take it from the printer and hand it off; it would be in the correct order. How do I setup Acrobat XI Pro to accomplish the same settings (print in reverse order) on not only 1 PDF, but all PDF files? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Can a print preset be created that would work for all PDF files and not just the one opened? Just trying to find out since no one has answered my question in 2 days and Tech Support wasn't much help.
Thanks,

Acrobat Reader XI for print-ready PDF

Can I use Adobe Reader XI to construct a print-ready PDF file with all text outlined in a CMYK format?

Other than reading and printing PDF, Adobe Reader allows only limited operations on PDF files including annotating and filling out forms.
You cannot create or “construct” a PDF file with the free Reader. And for that matter, even with Acrobat, the facilities for PDF creation, manipulation, preflight, etc. are done in conjunction with whatever layout / illustration / image editing software you have which normally initially creates the PDF file.
- Dov
PS: “Outlining text” is not considered best or even acceptable practice for high quality printing.

Preview won't print some PDF's

Periodically, Preview will not print some PDF files. I open them, print them, it appears to go to the printer, yet nothing happens. Both with HP laserjets and a brother USB multifunction.
Yet if I use Adobe Acrobat on the same file it prints fine. ANyone know what might cause this?
Thanks.

Is there anything in Concole or the CUPS log (/var/log/cups/error_log)? It could be a font problem, but one of the places above should have some indication.
Hope this helps.

Acrobat Reader won't print

I installed OS 10.6 and now 10.6.1. Acrobat Reader 8 wouldn't print. Installed Acrobat Reader 9. Won't print. Canon MP530 printer gives this error message: "Unable to open raster stream. No such file or directory." No problem previously, with 10.5 and Acrobat Reader 8.

Solved my own problem; read the solution here:

Hope it works for all of you with different printers. The issue seems to be in the printer drivers, though.

Acrobat 8 Won't Print - AGAIN! Need Help!

I'm running Acrobat 8 on Windows 7 64 bit. When I installed, I also installed that dll file you need, set it to print to file, everything worked fine for 2 months. This morning, I wake up, go to print a pdf, no go. I remembered that it updated about 2 days ago, so I remove the program, reinstall, nothing. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting my printer, nothing. This software is expensive and it only creates headaches for me. Does someone know how to fix this? I have work to do today. Thanks

You are trying to print a PDF opened in AA8 to what? Have you updated AA8 to the latest update? The canned answer is that AA8 is not certified for Win7 (particularly x64) and you would need to upgrade. However, several folks have AA8 running with Win7 and think some of those are X64. More information about the printer and the subversion of Acrobat would help. AA 8 is currently at 8.3.1.

Acrobat Standard Won't print first 1/2 page of scanned document

I have a previously unseen problem. I've had the program for a few years, but now it won't print the top half of the first page of a scanned document (some of them). I tried to print something I scanned a few weeks ago, and it works fine. That one's also in color. The ones that won't print fully are black and white. Any ideas?

You're going to think this is impossible, but the problem only seems to occur with a couple of particular documents I was scanning. I tried deleting the file, rescanning and resaving, then printing with the same 1/2 page result. I tried scanning, saving, and printing a couple of sample documents (thinking I would send one of these to you), and there was no problem! After multiple attempts with the problem document, I fed it through the document feder backwards, and then it scanned, saved, and printed with no problem.
I'm using a Brother MFC-J6710DW printer, Windows XP Pro, Acrobat Standard 7.0. I've actually tried to update Acrobat, without success for some reason. The actual problem document is too sensitive for me to send out. I'd like to hear ideas, in case this repeats.
Thank you.
