Acrobat hangs when 'printing page 1'

This is a sudden thing - it was working fine and then suddenly it wasn't! I am creating a pdf from multiple files - I can collect them all up in the box and then click to start the process, it goes through some of the motions and then hangs for no apparent reason. I do not have any of the documents open, they are not password protected and they are not protected from editing.
I have recently had a recent RAM upgrade but I have performed this operation on a different file since. I have tried repairing Acrobat from the CD and also using the detect and repair tool but nothing works.
Can anyone shed any light?

Problem solved. Does only happen with the Internet Explorer 32bit.
With Internet Explorer 64bit it doesn't happen.

Acrobat Pro 9 PDF Printer Hangs when printing Test Page (Checking Fonts)

I have upgraded to CS5 and acrobat pro 9....
When I print a test page from the PDF printer it starts fine but then hangs when checking fonts?!?!
I have removed the software and reinstalled twice now and the same occurs...
Any advice anyone?

Bernd,
thanks for the input... It helped a lot!
I tracked down a few corrupt fonts and now things seem much better but not quite perfect yet....
Distiller now opens fine but when I ran the test page from the PDF printer I got the follwoing error in the log file:
Does it give any clues?
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%

Acrobat 8.1.2 hangs when printing from IE 7 under XP Pro x64

Hey Community,
my Acrobat Standard 8.1.2 and my Internet Explorer 7.05.... hang up when printing. Im running XP Pro x64 recent version.
The other features printing from word or scanning do work well.
Has somebody an idea how to fix that bug ?
Thanks Frederik
Funny thing - I just tested it out to describe the situation better:
First test:
I used the embedded printing icon in the toolbar and printing worked fine with www.FTD.de. Adobe did print eather already started or by automatic start on print icon. It worked several times in a row. But often Homepages are not scaled, so only part of the page was on the paper, because there is no option use the properties. Once Adobe opened I saw a new feature that I have downloaded some Multimedia features with the document and if I would like to listen to them.
Second Test:
I did the same job with using the File/Print command, set adobe as printer
and the job hang up in this version. But to say, it is the internet explorer which hangs up. I couldn't minimize the window, IE was just freezed. After terminating IE via task manager the Adobe window of defining the files name showed up, but the process does not finish (X IE)
After opening IE I tried to run Test1 with the still running Acobat but I got en error message from Adobe. After closing and starting Acrobat again the Test1 process worked fine without problem and without prior restart of the machine.
I also tested this with Kapersky deactivated to make sure that the Multiimedia Content does not cause the trouble, but no changes I.E. just
hangs up.
Has somebody an idea?

Acrobat Pro 9.51 Hangs When Printing to PDF from WordPerfect.

Seems Adobe Acrobat 9.51 is hanging when attempting to do a conversion to PDF by printing to PDF from WordPerfect (using X3/X5). Problem is it also hangs the rest of the PC. Have to attempt to kill the process (though it is so slow I end up having to restart the PC). Anybody have any thoughts on this. Attempted to do a repair (no help), removed the program and reinstalled (also no help). Thought maybe another process was killing this but turned off all startup items. Maybe I missed some uninstall items I need to manually remove? Any help would be appreciated.

Knowing the OS would be helpful as it may be a factor.
If the OS is Windows 7 Acrobat 9.x will not provide full functionality.
Regardless, WP file format(s) are not compatible / supported by Acrobat PDFMaker.
Corel uses its own publish to PDF process rather than anything Adobe.
With Acrobat installed you can print to the Adobe PDF virtual printer.
If you are not doing a File - Print and selecting the Adobe PDF printer then you are using a WP rather than an Adobe process provided by Acrobat.
Be well...

Reader X hangs when printing

Have not been able to print from Reader X since installing.
Windows XP to network printer. Reader X just hangs when spooling to the printer. I am able to print from other PDF programs (Foxit and Sumatra). Drag and dropping files to the printer after printing a page from the other programs will open Reader X for the other PDF documents and print but cannot print directly from Reader.
Any ideas?
James

It is a network Konica/Minolta scan/fax/copy bizhub 200 served through SBS2003 server.
Reader does not seem to print to any of the printers on the network - again, no problems with other programs. This includes Canon and HP printers too.

When printing page data in Schwab, the font is so tiny it's almost invisible - this does not happen in Windows Exploror.

On 2/20/2013 all printing was normal. On 2/21/2013 not only did the printing not work, but PDF files did not show up properly. Is this a new version of Firefox? I got the PDF reset so that works now, but not the printing. In Comcast email, the date field shifts way to the right and forces the font smaller. When I uncheck "shrink to fit" it does not wrap the text but rather chops it off when I increase the font size.
Today I tried printing pages from Schwab using their "Print Page" button which always worked in the past but today it was unreadable.
Can I go back to the previous version of Firefox?

Adobe Acrobat hangs when opening PDFs even after reinstall

Hello,
I have 2 new Dell systems that are having issues with Adobe Acrobat. When opening PDFs, either from an email attachement or file from our server, there is a brief hang that lasts 10-15 seconds, during which Acrobat is unresponsive however the workstation continues to respond. I've since uninstalled/reinstalled, still no luck. I've also run updates. Problem unresolved.
Any ideas

One of our users is having a similar issue with Adobe Reader 9.2 hanging. Adobe Reader will eventually open after about 5 seconds. I've found a work around where if I leave a .pdf document open, any other .pdf I click will open up fine (but a .pdf needs to be left open in Adobe Reader). This is happening only with one user. Some of the things I've tried that have not worked: repairing, uninstalling/reinstalling, deleting temp files, opening the file with a different account/profile, downgrading to Adobe Reader 8.1.3. Anyone have any ideas? This is only happening to one user at my company. I've searched the forums here and it looks like other people are having similar issues but there's really not a solution to this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Acrobat 9 only prints page 1

I have recently upgraded to Acrobat 9 and now my documents are only printing page one of a multiple page document. Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this problem? Acrobat is running from the Windows XP platform.

I am also having the same issue. It only seems to occur with a specific printer. I am currently having an issue with a Dell 5300 printer using a Post Script Driver. I can print to any other printer in the network just fine.

HRPrinting.exe hangs when printing book with 100 reports

We are currently running a Hyperion Report book with about 100 reports. We have not being able to succesfully print this book because HRPrinting.exe hangs. It does not even display data
Any ideas on how to resolve this?

It might be worth looking at "Financial Reporting Books Hang When Run In Complete Book Format [ID 1312802.1]" in Oracle Support, also check logs, check if it is a certain report causing the issue, check patches, threads can be increased though this would only be done if it is proven that it is not a different issue causing the print server to hang, log a call with Oracle.
Cheers

Print Dialog box wont appear when "Print Pages" from Bookmarks Window

When I use the "print pages" option from the Bookmarks window the pages are sent directly to the default printer with the default settings. How do I get the print dialog window to appear if I select "print pages" from the Bookmarks window so that I may modify the print settings?

I wasn't aware that you could get the print dialog box to appear after dragging a supported file to the alias, regardless of where it resided. I've never seen this happen on 10.4.x or 10.3.9 so I tested the Option key and found it didn't force the dialog box to appear either. Tried a few others keys also but no luck in getting the box to appear.
Re the fierycupsfilter issue. EFI have released an updater that replaces the system-provided version and therefore stops the need to modify the ppd.

Officejet Pro L7555 Hangs when printing,windows error msg - APPCRASH,spoolsv.exe

I have an OfficeJet Pro L7555 all in one printer.
I have tried and the same result on 2 different computers.I have reinstalled the entire software on one of the computers - result is still the same.
I just scanned a page to a pdf file and it did that ok.
What happens is:
1) i click to print and the job get sent to the printer,it starts to print and somewhere on the first page is halts sometimes with the page partly out of the chute where a completely printed page would land.I just tried to print 1 page and it did not print that page but a page that i was trying to print last night.Last night i switched the Printer off and also pulled the power plug out.
2) it then usually tries to print the other pages,halts along the way and starts again,and the last time, it did not even print all of the whole page,and i can also get blank pages.
3) and i get a Windows popup error box that says APPCRASH and the application is spoolsv.exe, i think,and options to find a solution online or to close
The printer is about 2 yrs old and i do not use it very much,so i dont think it is wear and tear and worn out parts,but is there something that needs replacing that is routine? But I am suspecting a memory problem on the printer though.Is this possible?? as it has printed a page that i was trying to print last night and it did it twice instead of printing 2 different pages and i suspect it is having a problem with the memory of what to print.
Thanks for any help in advance

Acrobat 8 - Adobe PDF Printer hanging when printing

Hi
I have an installation of Adobe CS3 Design Standard on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. When attempting to use the 'Adobe PDF' printer from an Adobe application, i.e. Illustrator, Photoshop, the application freezes and the PDF printer does not proceed to convert the document. The job is in the print spooler, however this either sits there with 'error', or 'spooling'.
This behaviour does not occur when using another application such as Microsoft Word.
When looking at the printer preferences of the printer, the tab appears to be malformed and incomplete. (see screenshot)
There are no options under the 'Adobe PDF Folder' dropdown, apart from LPT1.
I have tried reinstalling Acrobat from the CS3 DVD, after deleting the printer and driver, however this does not appear to solve the problem.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
Thanks, Luke.

Thanks for this, it solved the problem!
It appears that despite the updater saying there weren't any updates, there clearly were. I'm guessing they've turned off the update servers as it's such an old product.
For the record, I installed 8.1 and 8.1.1 all the way to 8.1.7 individually.
Thanks again.
Luke.

Acrobat Professional 7.0 hanging when printing from IE8 (Vista)

Hello. I've done my best to troubleshoot on my own but am encontering problems when trying to print a document from within Internet Explorer 8 on a PC running 32-bit Vista.
Mind you I can print as I always have from any other browser (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera) without problem, but whenever I attempt to print any item to PDF using the installed Adobe PDF printer driver, the document simply sits in the printer spool queue with an "Error - Printing" status. I have no problems whatsoever printing to PDF from any other application (Word, Excel, etc.)
I've done my best to verify any settings within IE, Vista, and AP7 that seem like they could have interfered but wasn't able to find any. I wouldn't be surprised it it's the result of IE's layer-upon-layer of bloated and settings, but I have absolutely no idea where to begin.
I'd appreciate any useful guidance from others who may have experienced this, or a similar, phenomenon.
Thanks in advance.

Have you looked at Adobe's Knowledge Base to see what versions of Acrobat can fully work in the Vista OS?

FF hangs when printing a PDF page

CRTL P brings up print options- printer Can0n iP1800. When OK is selected Progress Box shows "Printing MisCommands.PDF" and hangs at 0%complete. Must select "X" out FF which brings up the Program Not Responding box
https://docs.google.com/a/scc-ems.us/MiscCommands?command=save_print_settings&docID=0AddSHXnoIKORZGd3bnZ2cnBfNTNkNXc1OTV4aA&print=1

Thanks for checking. It is clearly something about my system that is
causing the hang. In the cases I ran it stopped on photo 11 of about 30
and that was repeatable. Using another set of photos it stopped on
something like 16 of 30 or so photos. That was also repeatable.
It clearly is a problem on my configuration.
I have uninstalled 64 bit Lightroom and installed 32 bit LR 2.7 as I had
done with LR 2.6.
Let me know if you could use more information.
Thanks,
Gary

Acrobat crashes when extracting pages

Version Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.12
When extracting and emailing pages from a pdf multiple times, Acrobat crashes. Here is the process:
1. Open pdf
2. Tools -> Pages -> Extract
3. Select any number of pages -> delete after extracting -> Yes at prompt
4. In the extracted page(s) pdf, Share -> Send Files -> Attach to Email -> Attach
5. Default email app opens -> Send email
6. Close extracted page(s) pdf without saving.
7. Go back to original pdf
8. Try to repeat steps 1-6.
The Acrobat crashes every time at step 4 on the 2nd extraction and email. As soon as the share button is pressed (or using File -> Attach to Email), Acrobat crashes with the below error code.
I have tried multiple different pdfs from different sources (i.e. downloaded from the web, scanned from a printer, generated from a word doc, etc.) as well updating Acrobat, uninstalling and re-installing (using the cleaner tool in between) and repairing install. The issue happens on multiple machines, all running Win 7 Pro, and there are no add ins installed.

My scanner cables never become disconnected, by the way (as the 2nd error message suggests).
