Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 Printing issue

I support our prepress area that is using Acrobat to output files. They are totally put out with Acrobat 8 at this point and nearly refuse to use it. Acrobat 7 Pro makes them very happy.
The biggest issue - reported on 3 different MacPros running 10.4.11 - the erratic behavior of the print dialog box. The advanced option in missing about half the time. (their words) They claim to open a document for print and there is no advanced option button. Quit Acrobat, and sometimes it is there again, sometimes they have to restart Acrobat again, sometimes restart the Mac, sometimes it just won't reappear. They then, out of frustration, open the document in 7, print it, then just for giggles, try it in 8 and viola, there the advanced option is. We can't make it do this on demand.
We have rebuilt machines from the ground up. We have reinstalled and updated Acrobat to 8.1.2. We have the latest print drivers. (IKON)
Anyone else seen this type of behavior?

I work at a sign company and use Quark to create files (mostly text, some graphics) of all shapes and sizes, from a few inches square to several feet. I then RIP to emulsion film to produce positive & negative images for our silk screeners to burn in. The film I use is 28 inches wide and 200 feet long. My question regards film waste. Is there a way to batch/nest differing Quark file types next to each other across the spread (turning them landscape or portrait as necessary) to fill unused gaps in the film???? Often I can use the spreads feature in Quark, but just as often I only have one file/page to print, accompanied by a lot of waste. Giving up Quark and my Mac environment is not an option. I was told Acrobat might have a program for nesting Quark files after they're converted to PDFs. Would this entail new RIP software?---or is there some plug-in attachment that might work? Currently, my RIP software is on a PC-based platform and accepts Mac-Quark files as such.

How to set up Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5 as printer in Mountain Lion

How do I set up Adobe Acrobat 9 as printer in Mountain Lion as I would with Windows?

Changes in OS X made it impossible for Acrobat Pro to install a "printer" for itself as it did before Snow Leopard. The PPD for Acrobat was always very buggy anyway, so no one really misses that part of it.
For any Adobe app (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.), you instead go to the File menu and choose the PDF flyout, as show here:
For other apps, you hit Command+P as always and open the Adobe PDF options at the lower left of the print dialogue box:
Choose "Save as Adobe PDF" and continue on from there to choose your PDF settings.
Quark XPress has all of the pro PDF options built in to its output. You don't use access Acrobat Pro at all in the menus or standard print dialogue.

Since Acrobat Pro XI can't print anymore !

I updated few weeks ago Acrobat Pro. But since I intalled the XI version, the printer just block the application from which I try to print the pdf.
I need to force the software (Word, Excell, Illustrator...) to close because it is frozen...
No issues with the X version ! (on a Windows 7 64bits).
I tried to reinstall and repaired Acrobat without success...

You need to be sure you have done the updates -- no mention of the version you are one, but AA XI is at 11.0.06. Have you tried to "print-to-file" with the Adobe PDF printer? If so, can you open the file in Distiller to create a PDF? If both of these answers are yes, you likely do not have AcroTray running in the background.

Acrobat Pro 8 will not print some graphics, any ideas?

I am printing from Word 2007 to an Acrobat Pro 8 PDF. When I do so, some of the graphics will not show up. They seem to be in the document as when I highlight them, they show they are blocked and I can actually copy the stuff by highlighting it and copying, but it will not print or display.
This seems to be a new problem, as it worked fine, then I am not sure what trigered it, but now it will not print all the graphics. The graphics are just JPGs
Note the document looks good on the screen, but when I create a PDF or print the PDF, it will not print.
I also see this a lot when I use my PrintShop Mail program, which uses Acrobat to genterate it files.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Geoff

Since Acrobat is not an Apple product, you would probably be better off posting your question on Adobe's own forums as they would be geared more toward the issue than an Apple forum:

Acrobat Pro 8 will only print first page of pdf at 11x17

Hello all. When I try print 11x17 from Acrobat Pro 8 only the first page prints. I have tried several printers and all do the same. I have tried entering page numbers rather than leaving it on print all. I have tried printing 11x17 from other applications and it works fine. And I am able to print 8.5x11 from Acrobat just fine. I've tried searching all sorts of forums and I cannot seem to find any information on this particular problem. Suggestions anyone? I need to get this resolved...it is highly annoying since we print many 11x17 documents on a daily basis.

Adobe Acrobat Pro text box not printing and is hidden under box highlight.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.13. I am completing a form with text box throughout the document. I can no get the text box to printing and the text is hidden under box highlight. I have tried printing with the print feature 'Comments & Forms/ Document and Markups' with no luck.

It's doing that because you have field highlighting enabled. YOu can either turn it off or make the field read-only (if it's only used for display and not entry).

Acrobat Pro 9 will not print to printer in OS X 10.7

I have a new MacbookPro that came with Lion already installed. I installed a new copy of Acrobat 9 Pro from the OEM CD. All functions including printing to my Brother Laser printer and Canon inkjet worked. I installed the Lion 10.7.2 update and I can no longer print pdf on either printer. Other apps print fine. I get "Error" message under "Status" in printer dialogue box. I now have OS X 10.7.2 and Acrobat 9.4.6 installed. I cannot print pdf files to my printers. Latest drivers for both printers. Printers work fine with all other apps. I tried several combinations of Acrobat and Lion reinstalls. Nothing works. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

I've been having a similar problem with Acrobat Pro 9 and 10.6.8, using a Brother MFC 3240C inkjet. This has been going on about a week, since the last ink change. As a half-remedy, I can print pdf's using the "Print As Image" option, reached from the Acrobat print window under Advanced options. I can also print pdf's using Preview.
Are you able to Print As Image or print with Preview?
I had been thinking of upgrading to 10.7, but I don't want to make the situation worse.
In any case, with Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Reader 10, the 3240C print window and display shows everything normal and data moving to the printer, and it makes noises like it's printing, but it spits out blank sheets.
I had the same response you did out of AppleCare. They said they didn't think it was an Apple problem.

Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2 Print Issues - Windows Crash Error (2 Sided)

Have recently had issueswith our upgrades from 10.1.1 to 10.1.2 in regards to the following:
When printing 2 sided on a Fuji Xerox Firefly C4400 Atheros, application crashes after printing first 4 pages.
Thus, have tried the patch fix that was recommended on cpsid_92870 however this has not fixed the problem.
Have also tried the solution with the duplexing but still same issue, Windows crashes.
Have also tried solution to remove Windows patch KB4332667 and still same issue.
Screen shots will be provided upon request with the errors.
Currently running:
Windows XP SP3
Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2
Printer Drivers are the latest and over 500 users on network. 485 are working on 10.1.1 which do not have this issue.
Is there any solution or 10.1.3 patch release that will address this issue?
Last Adobe user to work on this was Atul.

Sonal2890, thanks for your inquiry and I will try to provide as much information as possible.
1. What happens if inspite of using 'Print on both sides', you check Duplex setting from Properties dialog (As you do previously)?
      The Adobe Reader X Shuts down and is unable to print and displays a message stating it has incurred a problem. Please note, we are running IE7.
2. What happens if you print with any other application (Word/notepad)
     The documents print fine. IT is only when you print this particular document which is enabled in protected mode and double sided. Have tried the patch and the resolution of unticking the duplex methodology and the issue still persists.
     Crash Logs have already been submitted already. Have added the SEnd Error Report that was provided when the error occurs. The PDF stopped printing after page 6 of a 236 page document and provided the error above.

Acrobat Pro 10.1.1 network issue

Hi everyone,
Im having an issue with Acrobat Pro X. About two weeks ago we did a server migration. Since then everyone (about 60 people) have been running into a performance issue with Acrobat X.
Everyone uses Word 2007 and the office plugin to create PDF documents from within word. Before the server upgrade, clicking on the "Create PDF" button would bring up the save as menu straight away. However now it takes on average 10 to 30 seconds for it to appear (word shows as "not responding" during this time). The same thing happens in Acrobat X when I try to create a PDF from a file. Opening a file locally is fine.
I discovered that acrobat X is trying to connect to the old server (im not sure why) and this seems to be whats causing the delay. Problem is im not sure how to fix this.
We are all using Windows 7 x64 (except several laptops that use Win7 x86)
So far this is what we have tried:
- Repair Acrobat X – no good.
- ipconfig /flushdns – no good.
- ipconfig /release, renew – no good
- Remove Acrobat X (restart machine) and then install Acrobat X – no good.
- Remove computer from domain, rejoin domain and then reinstall Acrobat X. – no good.
So far the only workaround we have found is to save the word document locally, exit out of word then rightclick on the document and "convert to Adobe pdf"
As this is happening on around 60 machines we dont really want to have to reinstall acrobat or windows to fix this problem.
Any ideas would be great!

Adobe Acrobat Pro freezing on duplex printing

In adobe acrobat pro X when printing 2 or more pages duplexed on a Canon iR-adv c5045/5051 adobe acrobat freezes and crashes and the job never makes it to the printer, on adobe reader x free edition this is not hte case and prints without a problem. any information on this would be great. thanks

You mean there is an entry in the dock that doesn't work but it works OK from LaunchPad or Applications? Sounds as if you have an old or out of date thing in the dock. Just remove it and put the working Acrobat back. The dock is ENTIRELY under your control; Acrobat doesn't put itself there or remove itself.

Acrobat Pro 9.2 problem printing to from IE8

I have been having a pretty consistant problem since doing a clean install of Win7 Pro and Acrobat Pro 9.2. If I print preview a webpage and then try to print from it to a .PDF, the screen comes up asking where to file the printout and just hangs. I can't do anything in the windows explorer window that opens to pick a place to save the file. I can't cancel it. The only way to get back it to force it shut down IE8.
Anyone else experiencing this and have you found a solution?
I have also had a few site where a link opens a .PDF and the same thing happens if you try to save the .PDF that you are viewing.
Thanks,
...Rich

Mac OSX 10.6.2 with Acrobat pro 9.2. When I open Acrobat it will open, however when I try to do anything it will immediately freeze causing the need to restart my laptop. If I try to open a .pdf file, Acrobat will open, but if I try to do anything with the file, such as save, edit, print or even close the file it freezes. This has been going on for the last few days, yesterday I updated to version 9.2 in hoping that it would be the fix to the problem. It hasn't fixed it. Anyone have any ideas?
Try Running Disk Utilites and Repair Permissions.
Use a Utility such as Cocktail, or Oynx to remove Font cache files.
Run Font Book and Resolve Font Conflicts (more than one copy of the Same Font).
Also while in Font Book select all you fonts (Command/apple-A) click on a Font, then choose Validate Fonts.
Try these and come back with results. Someone else May be able to come along and suggest something else to look at.

Acrobat Pro XI Will Not Print Word Document with a Rotated Table

I have a MS Word document that is mostly text, but include a table that has been rotated in a text box to fit on the page. When I try to print to PDF using Acrobat Pro XI, the document crashes at the page the table is on.
I have tried several attempts to print using the Acrobat Printer, convert to PDF feature and trying to print just the page alone. Acrobat will simply not print word document with a rotated table.
Any idea how to fix this?
Word 2013, Windows 7, Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.06

In the full document, the print to PDF goes only as far as the table, then ends - not printing the table. The remaining pages are not printed.
For example, I have trimmed the file down to just the table page, and included links to it, and a copy of the PDF it generated.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60543835/Forums/Table%20Sample_140903.pdf
The error message I now get when I try to print is: "There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate or print this document."
However, with the Task manager open, the memory never seems to get above half of the available (the graph bar fluctuates a little, but stays stable")
The page prints to a regular HP or Xerox printer with no problems.

Acrobat Pro 9.4.6 Printing Strange Characters

I currently use Acrobat Pro 9.4.6 and when printing to a PDF file it prints strange characters...not at all what I want to be printed. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium. Have others experienced this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Jim

Thanks for taking the time to reply. It's interesting that this problem only manifests itself in certain applications. A friend installed a program called CuteWriterPDF and the applications that I was having difficulty with writing PDF files are taken care of perfectly with this small program. It was just an experiment but it worked. This is not a perfect fix as I would prefer a solution from Adobe but at least I'm back up and running.
Thanks much for taking the time to reply!

Help Acrobat Pro XI will only print to "all files" even though printers show up in box

I have acrobat pro XI and now even though my functioning printer(s) show up in the box where you chose the printer you want to use, matter what i chose it always tries to save the print job as an"all files" format. The printers are fine they work with everything else. It is strange no matter what I pick all it wants to do is save as an "all files" file. Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks

Make sure the “print to file” option is deselected in the “Advanced” options of the print dialog.

Acrobat Pro Extended to Inventor 2010 Issues

I purchased Acrobat Pro Extended last night in order to make some 3D PDFs for a sales trip TOMORROW and I cannot get this to work. I have updated APE to version 9.2.0 like one post suggested but it is still not working properly.
I can create some models from inventor files but only those that are one assembly file with a few parts. If I try to create a model from an inventor file that has a "top level assembly" (Inventor Term) with several "sub assemblies" I get one of three things:
1.) I get a 3D pdf that has only loaded the last of the three sub assemblies in the file (only on certain models)
2.) I get this message "Conversion Error" followed by this message "Acrobat could not open <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)"
3.) I get this message "Exception has been raised" followed by this message "Acrobat could not open <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)"
I am in deep trouble here and need to get this working if you all could be so kind. I did not wait until the last minute I was unfortunately told to prepare this yesterday, sorry for the urgency.
Jean Chile

I had problems until it updated to 9.2, then all went OK.
I've created 3D parts, assemblies and assemblies containing assemblies from IV 2010 files (see attached).
