Acrobat - Printing

Hi,
I can print word and any other documents and I can print pdf's in colour.
When I try and print a pdf in black and white the whole page comes out black.
My collegue using the same printer does not have this isuue and as far as I can see our settings are identical.
Could any one please tell me what is happening?
Cheers

It could be the color profile. It may also be that what you think is white is actually not -- being converted to Black on print out. You might try a preflight tool to convert to B&W or grayscale first.

My acrobat printer uninstalled itself and I can't get it back working...How do I fix it???

Hi edhones,
Please update Acrobat to v11.0.09 and check.
You might want to repair Acrobat from the 'Help' menu and check if it installs the pdf printer back or not.

System crash while printing to Acrobat printer

This is something that has annoyed me for a long time, sometimes while printing to Acrobat (making a PDF), the computer hangs and I have to turn the power off on the computer to shut down. I had this issue with version 7 and when I updated to version 9 the problem seem to go away. Now the PDFs that version 7 crashed on, version 9 wasn't. Tonight that all changed version 7 and 9 are hanging on certain web pages.
The question, is this a problem that's a setting issue or an Acrobat bug or a Windows issue or an explorer issue?
BTW this is a recently installed XP SP3 machine with only Adobe CS4 and Office 2007 on it, nothing else.

Well apparently it has something to do with the Internet Explorer, sort of. If I use Apple Safari it doesn't crash/lock up. But then again Safari is sending page images to the Acrobat printer, while the IE is sending the text as fonts. I also got stuck using winnovative free HTML to PDF Converter as another work around the #$%^ I paid for. Maybe it's not #$%^, but it's still annoying that I've had this problem since version 7 and I'm using version 9 now.

How to get Acrobat print dialog in Safari

I am asking this question here as well as in the Win forum as I do not know if it is a Win ony issue:
When IE or Firefox is displaying a .pdf the browser print button, file/print and ctrl-p take you to the Acrobat Reader print dialog and the .pdf itself is previewed and printed. In Safari Win they take you to the browser print dialog and a blank page is previwed and printed. Given the futility of telling users to use the Acrobat print button instead of the browser print button or File/Print, is there anything I can do with the .pdf to get this to work under Safari?

hi all,
thank you for replying. i got rid of the print dialog box by filling in defaults->spool control->output device in the user profile->own data. And i just set the following in my code:
ltp_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
ltp_control_parameters-preview = 'X'.
And also previously i mistakenly reset ltp_control_parameters-preview to 'LOCL' (refer to my previous post).
regards,
sid

Acrobat Printer doesn't recognize SWF as a printable file form

Acrobat Printer doesn't recognize SWF (even if a static/single frame file), as a printable file format! Please fix the issue,
I am confronted with 'The file cannot be printed. Please try opening the file with the correct application and printing from there' and The issue is encountered while dragging one/many SWF into Acrobat Printer's printing list. Its displays that troublesome error.
And, please add CRTL+P feature to print an SWF from Flash Player Standalone.

No, that doesn't work for me. And things seem to be inconsistent. Where it lets you vary the file size (small/medium/large/actual) when large and actual are the same, it doesn't send the actual jpeg file for windows to open. When large and actual size files are different when you toggle between the two, the file seems to go through to my windows pc ok. When I tried this through preview, that's when I noticed this difference, not through just email or Aperture yet. Help!

Adobe Acrobat Print Preview not supported

I have Adobe Acrobat 8.2.0 and have been having this issue (not really a problem but it bugs me) where when I go to print a PDF and click on preview before sending the document to the printer I always get this message pop up that says "Preview is not supported." I just like to be able to get an idea of what things will look like before potentially wasting paper.
Is this normal and expected or is there something I can do to get print preview to work?

It's normal and expected because Acrobat has a more powerful printing and preview capability than Preview, so running output through Preview would just dumb it down.
If you set up your Page Setup right, the preview in the Acrobat Print dialog (Copies and Pages) is pretty effective for predicting print size and position relative to the true print margins. For color previewing, if you use Advanced/Print Production/Output Preview in Acrobat it, too, blows away the soft proofing in Preview.

Help, Adobe Acrobat printing issue

My adobe acrobat printing mess up after I update OSX Mavericks.
All the setup is right for regular print, but multiple image comes out.
Printing via photoshop is normal.
Here's a photo
Anyone have idea what's going on?

The printer is brother hl2270dw. It works fine with acrobat, except the acrobat plug-in under safari. Which means I can not printing file directly from safari, that I have to download then print.

Page numbers inserted as footer in Acrobat print in wrong place (but fine on-screen)

Hi there,
I have used Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create a PDF from a Word 2010 .docx file and a PDF file (originally created in InDesign CS5.5). The Word Document is about 115 pages, and the PDF is about 12. The PDF is inserted after page 100.
I then applied page numbers to all of the pages using the Header/ Footer option in Acrobat. And these display perfectly on screen and when re-opened in Acrobat Reader.
However, when one prints the document, the top and bottom margins seem to shift (the top margin no longer seems to stay put, but sometimes page content (mostly text) shifts down) and the page numbers, instead of being fixed at approx 2cm from the bottom of the page as on-screen, instead seem to float about 2cm below the last line of text on a page. This looks terrible, particularly on pages where text terminates half-way up a page (chapter ends etc.).
I have tried multiple printers and updated all drivers. Still no luck. Please help!

Changing body text is not simple. It's a desperate last resort. You need to buy the exact font. Acrobat will not let you edit in a font you don't own. Even then, it's undertain. Consider preparing an overlay in InDesign.

PSD files will not print from Photoshop CS4 (previously posted in Acrobat printing and prepress)

My questions are: Does the PSD file have the printer information encoded?
Also why has this just started to show up? My wife has work successfully under the same conditions, files moved and printed on different printers, with no problems in the past.
I (we) have been struggling with a recent problem trying to print PSD files from Photoshop CS4. (Vista 32 bit, Epson 3880 networked) When trying to print certain, but not all, PSD files I get the message: "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I have been in contact with Adobe support about the issue but with little in the way of positive results. I was referred to a kb link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/409/kb409119.html Tried all that to no avail. (The first suggestion is absurd to the point of making me wonder what process is used to construct the kbs. You cannot open the print menu when you get this message so....?)
Other solutions are not acceptable for the work my wife is doing, editing high quality photographs for an exhibition with test prints and so on. We are under intense time pressue with four shows coming up in a very short time. The final solution offered is that CS5 has solved all of this. Hum? interesting. No comment except new program, new problems so not a real solution for us.
In searching the web about this problem I have come across many other people with the same problem working from different platforms and even different Adobe products. I noticed that the MAC OS seemed to cause the same problem and that there was a problem with Reader and Acrobat. In every case the problem is never solved by Adobe or anyone else and users find some "workaround". I too have found what we hope is a workaround in our contiued travels on the blogosphere, on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/wellington/discuss/72157621548183001/ as "...a nasty, nasty solution" but we skipped the flatten part and the GIMP part and resave the PSD under a different name.
Adobe does seem supportive but not that interested (CS4 right) but I would like to find a real solution and I think many people would benefit from it.
Anyway what I have found is that the PSD files that will not print have been printed on another printer at some time in the past. In my case the Printer was an Epson Artisan A50. The printer we are using now is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Even when trying to print wirelessly to the 3880 from the laptop (Was Vista, now Windows 7) that was used to edit and print with the A50, (USB connection) we saw the same error. So it seems that the printer information is somehow embedded in the PSD file (also mentioned in a Blog) and is keeping PS from seeing the printer because the same printer is not there.
Has anybody already found the fix?
I know this is a long post but I have been working on this problem and have heard all of the pat and frankly useless answers and workarounds. Can we find a solution and fix the problem?

Just a few examples, since you ask:

Install Acrobat printer on Mac OS X 10.7.4

Hello,
I've just purchased Adobe CS 6 for MAC, including Acrobat and Distiller (version 10.1.1)
I downloaded CS 6 from apple website and installed it.
Everything works fine except that it didn't intstall neither Acrobat nor Distiller printers on my system.
How can I install it?
Ciao
Roberto

Hi Roberto,
The Adobe PDF Printer doesn't exist on the Mac anymore. Please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-print-pdfs-mac-os.html for instructions on how to create Adobe PDF files on Mac OS.

Adobe Acrobat printer not installed in Vista

I installed Adobe Acrobat 9 in windows XP and Vista. In XP installed properly and can covert to PDF. In Vista installed properly but can't find the Adobe printer in printers, when I open File ---> Print from any application can't found Adobe PDF. But when right click a file "Convert to Adobe PDF" appears and can convert. Please help me to solve this. Also I have Adobe reader 8 in vista.

Convert to Adobe PDF is a preprocessor for the Adobe PDF printer. Thus, for any conversion with Acrobat you have to have the printer installed. As a work around, you can install another PS printer and then open the PS file in Distiller, but that is not a great workaround. Sorry that I do not have an answer in terms of the Adobe PDF printer. Good luck.

Acrobat printer not working

I have Acrobat Pro Vers 9..2 installed onto a Windows XP platform.
When selecting the print option from any application (eg Word)
Adobe PDF appears in the list of avavilable printers, however
when it's selected the "print" command button is then disabled.
So the pdf 'printer' appears to be installed but the 'print' command
can't be selected.
Other printers (laserjet etc) that are installed
all work fine - it's only the pdf file I can't print...
Any help appreciated. Thank-you.

Thanks for the input!
The upgrade to 8.1.6 did solve the problem. Acrobat still works poorly, but at least the PDF Maker works quite fine.
Nevertheless, it's really too bad that Adobe requires you to purchase a full (and considerably expensive) upgrade for Win7 support. Adobe 8 is not that old so that it would require updating.

Reinstalling Acrobat Printer?

How do I reinstall the Adobe Acrobat PDF 9.0 printer?
Thanks!

If you have OSX.5.8 and lower.
open Adobe.
go to help
click on Repair Acrobat Installation
click on AdobePDF
Click okay.
uncheck install Safari Plugin
If you have just upgraded to X.6.2
It doesn't use the adobePDF Print Driver in fact it automaticall uninstalls it.
Follow the directions Here. Note the information is about Indesign but the technique given applies to all products

Good Luck there have been Problems. IF you run into any my suggestion would go back to your Mac install Disk and install Rosetta. and try again.

Epson 3880 cannot change paper types in Acrobat Print dialog

I use Adobe Acrobat as a RIP to print from on my Epson 3880. It looks like I might have to reconstruct all my printer presets since they've disappeared after the upgrade(?) to Yosemite 10.10.3. However the print dialog in Acrobat Pro X no longer allows me to create presets with different paper types. At least I haven't found it anywhere. Is this something that can be worked around or is this an "enhancement" to the new OS?
Should I just give up and go back to Snow Leopard?

Thanks a lot. Although i find it strange that every application sets this up individually. However, I did this in all Applications that I use for printing, now it works just fine.

Acrobat printing certain PDF's with 8 - 9 lines across the pages.

A few Acrobat user's are seeing thin black lines on the printed pages. We do not see the lines on the PDF on the computer screen. I am unable to reproduce the issue with Acrobat Pro 10.1.3, I upgraded the user that brought this to my attention to Acrobat Pro 10.1.3 and she is still seeing the Black Lines on her printed pages. I had another user test to the same printer and we did not see the lines on the printed pages. She is using Acrobat Pro 10.0.2.
At this point I think it's a user setting? Any ideas or suggestions?
I attempted to upload examples in PDF format, PDF's are not allowed????

Hi,
Please share the files.
Are you facing this problem on particular machines?? And is this problem reproducible with every PDF document on these machines?
Also provide the information about which OS are you using on the machines where this problem is occurring.
Thanks.

Slow acrobat printing

Extremely slow printing of PDF documents on networked HP 5000 DN. Printing about a page a minute. Files have been reduced in size using Acrobat.
No recent software changes.
Printer is networked using HP Jet Direct print server.
Printing in other pplications is just fine.
Acrobat 7.0 Professional with all updates is installed.
All current OS X updates are installed.
OS X Disk Utility has been run and and all permissions have been checked and repaired.
Thought.. suggestions?
Thanks
Mike

It really depends on the complexity of the document as well as on the amount of memory the printer has installed. My guess is that the printer doesn't have much memory.
