Acrobat & Gotham OTF printing issues

This isn't the first time I have had problems with the Gotham OTF font family. In the past it would crash large Indesign CS4 files I was working on. Deleting the Indesign font list file seemed to help fix the problem.
Now I have run into yet another issue with this font in Acrobat. Now the font will not print correctly from Acrobat Reader or any Acrobat below version 7.0 and below. The characters come up missing when printed. Has anyone else run into a simular issue?
Some back info, The PDF I am trying to print was created from Indesign CS4. Some of the problem area seem to be where I have place PDFs in my Indesign layout to show some comps. The missing character are not always consistent either. On some pages its fine. On others it's an issue.
Thx for any help or ideas.

"Is anybody else having issues like this?"
Not that I've heard of, no - and I hear a lot of stuff as product manager for fonts. But that doesn't mean it couldn't be something relatively trivial that doesn't spring to my mind. You might try clearing Mac OS X's font cache for starters, as a corrupted OS font cache can cause all sorts of weird problems. Do a search on "clear OS X font cache" for instructions and even free utilities such as "Font Nuke" that make it trivially easy.
If that doesn't work, I'd try Adobe Tech Support. Either way, it would be very interesting to have you post back here again to tell us what happened with your problem. This should be a soluble problem.

Acrobat 8 pro printer issue started today, auto scrolls to Microsoft XPS Document writer.

I have used Acrobat 8 Pro for many years with no problems. Yesterday, when I went to print a document, it auto scrolled down to Microsoft XPS document writer. I could not select my installed Brothers Printer.
I have also encountered auto scroll issues when opening my C drive.
I have installed Adobe Acrobat 8 updates, have run virus and malware software programs and they show no infections.
Nothing I have tried corrects this issue.
Has anyone else run into this ?
Any suggestions as to how this issue can be corrected?
Thanks,

Adobe acrobat X pro printing issues

I purchased Adobe Acrobat X pro and it was installed on Windows 7/64 bits PC.
I have issues with printing into PDF file for web page. It seems that if I click "convert to PDF" icon on Explorer, it does not have problem converting a web page into PDF. However, if I right mouse click on "print" on a web site, I get a "postscript error" message on Notepad" instead of generating PDF file. With a different web site, it did create a PDF file, but some characters were totally garbage, totally illegible. But it did create a PDF with no problem at all for a certain web page. I had a similar problem with a previous version of Acrobat Pro, but this time it is more extreme.
Am I not supposed to use right mouse click on "print" in order to generate PDF files at all? Do I have to use "Create PDF-from a web page" menu to successfully generate PDF files, but not on "print" using right mouse? Or is this problem occuring specific to Windows 7/64 bits PC? But Acrobat X pro is supposed to work with 64 bits.
I do not seem to have any problems converting files, such as Word, Excel, or JPEG into PDF files so far....
Any suggestion is grealy appreciated.
Henry

We are unable to reproduce the issue at my end. We are able to print fine using both PS and PCL printers. Could you please let me know the exact make of the printer at your end? Also, let me know whether you are using a PS driver or a PCL driver.
Thanks,

Adobe Acrobat Standard XI print issue

When opening a PDF in internet explorer, adobe acrobat won’t read pre chosen print driver settings.
When using acrobat stand alone, not in internet explorer, it does read the print settings.
Specifically the issue is you set up print driver as single sided print under finishing.
Only when you open PDF in IE, does acrobat choose 2 sided, it doesn’t read your single side setting under finishing.
This does not happen for adobe reader by itself, with no acrobat. If acrobat is installed in addition to adobe reader, it still happens for acrobat.
Windows 7 64bit Enterprise
Internet Explorer - 10.0.9200.16897
Adobe Reader XI - 11.0.3
Adobe Acrobat Standard XI - 11.0.0 also tried update to 11.0.09

Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 Printing Issue,

Hello,
There is an issue I have been facing now a days. Our company application has been upgraded from oracle 6I to 10g. The output thereby comes as .pdf which is then printed on a pre-printed stationary.
The situation is there are two printers with two paper size settings and two different stationaries (A4 and letter) installed on each user.
The issue is when a user selects an A4 printer from the print dailog box of acrobat reader, the preview box won't get updated with the new page lengths, instead would print the output on the last page length settings. Suppose he selects A4 manually from the printer properties it would print fine. But again in the next print when he needs to print letter, acrobat would print with the A4 (last settings) and thus the print-out wont fit on the pre-printed stationary.
For each customer there is one A4 and one letter print and thereby a user can't affort each time to go in the printer properties and give the page length so acrobat reader would update its preview.
I would be really appreciated if someone would give me a permanant work around for this.
I apologize for such a long explanation, and also if this topic is already posted elsewhere.
Thanks.

Acrobat 10 Standard Printing Issue

We recently upgraded from v9 to v10 Acrobat Standard. We have an application that uses the default printer to print a report developed using Rave Reports. For some reason with v10, the print dialog in this program shows Adobe as the default printer in place of the one selected in Devices and Printers. This is a Win 7 32-bit workstation. When v9 Acrobat Standard was installed, there was no issue in the print dialog.
Thanks,

We just updated all our PC's to Reader 10.0.1 and are having the exact same issue as the original post. Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I'd really prefer to not have to convert all our users to PCL printer drivers.
Any help would be appreciated. Many of the PDF's we're having trouble with now are from third party institutions, so manipulating the PDF's isn't really a great option.
Thanks,
Kevin

Font Folio 11 - OTF printing issues

I need help with a HP LaserJet 5200 (tabloid size laser printer) and OTF fonts. Ever since i switched to .otf fonts, I am having issues printing helvetica LT STD or any of the LT STD fonts for that matter. the fonts are all activated using Suitcase Fusion and Quark 6.5. Is anybody else having issues like this? I can't upload .otf fonts to the printer memory, so any suggestions? the printer defaults to courier when trying to print .otf fonts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Acrobat reader 64bit print issues

I have 2x networked 64bit PCs using Windows 7. Both will print files to a networked laser printer, but neither will print from a PDF. Am I alone, or is a problem with a solution?

Hi Tonyhirst,
If you have Adobe Reader then you wont be able to print to PDF printer. Reason being PDF printer only gets installed with Adobe Acrobat.

Adobe Acrobat to Reader printing issue...

I have created a PDF form that we send to our customers to fill out. I created it using LifeCycle Designer and Acrobat 8 and gave it usage rights in Reader. All of the documents we have created have worked fine, however, we have one document that was created at the same time in the same way that shows the text that is typed in by the user, but doesn’t print. (the text is visible on the monitor, but does not show up in print preview or when printed. Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks!
Nicolette

Have you looked at your form in LiveCycle Designer?
You have the 'Presence' property set to the 'Visible (Screen Only)' option. I think this means you will only see the data on the screen and it will not print. I think you want to use the 'Visible' option.

Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended | Print Option | Enable Flash Object Issue

Hi,
We are facing some problems with Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended Print Option.
We had a requirement to embed interactive Flash graphs in the PDF file, user will interact with these graphs and whatever graph he plotted, the data for it will be saved in PDF text field, so that on the next launch we can fetch the data to the flash from PDF text fields, so that user can see what changes he did last time. This works great, we are able to successfully comminicate from PDF to flash and then from Flash to PDF.
Please note that, PDF can have multiple graphs on different pages.
The issue we are facing is when we interact with the graphs and then try to print the PDF, in that case only the currently active graph or flash file (The page on which user is currently on) will be seen enabled in the print, the graphs on the other pages, which are not currently visible are seen in disabled state hence the data on it does not get printed.
We have also used the "RMA.activated = true;" command, still no success. Please refer to the screen shots below to understand the issue in more detail..
Flash Embed Options:
In the Print Option, it looks disabled:
The required/desired output is as follows:
We want all Graphs to get printed in enabled state and with the data user had entered. Please do let me know, if there is any workaround to achive this functionality.
Thanks,

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 printer issue

While attempting to scan a document, I receive an error alert telling me that that is an "error interacting the the scanner: selected scanner not found" The HP Officejet Pro 8500 is present and functioning on the PC. Have uninstalled/installed the printer several times without success. Printing connection error occured unexpectly and no changes to printer made prior to error alert.

This is a scanner issue, not a printer issue that is usually covered by Windows (at least I am assuming some version of Win.) I have no idea of your Acrobat version, but the problem may be that there is no TWAIN driver installed to interface to the scanner. Can you see the scanner from a graphics package in the scanner mode? If not, it is a driver issue.

Print Button issue... Acrobat won't print

We have one particular machine here at work where Acrobat will not print. You can bring up the Print dialogue box and change all the print settings, but when it comes time to actually print the document, it's like the "Print" button does not work. It is highlighted, but just does not depress. Hitting Enter does not work either. We've tried installing different versions of Acrobat and Acrobat Reader, and the same thing happens, yet other Adobe applications print without issue. OS is Tiger. We've tried Acrobat 6, 7, and Reader 8 & 9.
Is there a preference I could kill which might reset this?

Just saw your post. I've been having similar problems. I've reinstalled the printer, reset the printing system, and still had problems. However, it SEEMS as if I've had some success when I do a "page setup" in Acrobat before going to the print command. Let me know if this helps you.

11x17 Printing Issues with Acrobat version 8.2.3

I'm using Acrobat version 8 on Windows Vista here at work and both myself and a coworker can't print 11x17 pages. We've ruled out printer issues, as 11x17 pages will print from other programs. For a while, I was able to work around this problem by opening the PDF in Illustrator and printing it 11x17 from there. But as of today, none of my Adobe programs will print in 11x17 at all. This is a big issue as I often need to print technical drawings for equipment manuals and those need to be on 11x17 paper.
Has anyone else had this problem or something similar? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You haven't mentioned anything about your printing environment. Are you printing to a photocopier via a computer interface? Or is this an inkjet printer or a laser printer? Have you selected the appropriate tray for 11x17? Have you tried "print according to PDF paper size"? (I don't actually remember the exact wording of that setting)
