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.

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!

  • Acrobat X Prints Strange Characters

    In the last week or so I have had two separate instances of folks having trouble printing large documents from Adobe Reader X.  Both were printing to HP Printers, one an officejet connected via USB and another a networked LaserJet.  The first few pages of the document would print fine but then the rest of the document prints strange characters.  A second attempt to print the document generally succeeds, leading us to believe that it may just take some time for the program to "fill out" the file or something.  Has anyone else experienced problems like this with Acrobat recently?

    Yes I have a computer in our office that is pluged into a HP Laserjet 2015 and it is doing the same thing when printing from pdf's.  After some testing I have gotten it to repete the messed up/strange characters.  It seems that it will mess up everytime you print and then close out of the file, even tho it has spooled the print, and the printer is not finished printing.  But if you leave the file open for the duration of the print, even tho it is spooled, it will print fine without messing up.  Still looking into why this is doing this, it does not matter what PCL printer driver that I have tried for it... I have not tried using a PS driver yet.

  • When i print a pdf from preview it prints strange characters - it looks fine on screen

    when i print a pdf from preview it prints strange characters - it looks fine on screen

    You can also try opening the PDF with preview, then doing a copy and paste to TextEdit and printing from there.
    Adobe makes it easier, but you do have software to accomplish this.
    Only download Adobe reader from this site, to avoid "fakes/spoofs/malware" that will cause damage to your machine.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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,

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. 

  • 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

  • PROBLEM: HP p2015 printing strange Characters

    In our office we have an HP 2015 that has started printing abnormal characters on the end pages of say, a 6 page document. The first three pages will be ok, and then the remaining three pages will have symbols and strange characters in replace of the normal alphabet characters.
    I've noticed it doing this from ADOBE PDF documents that are larger than 3-4 pages. Does anyone have any ideas or solutions? I have re-installed the latest drivers, and the printer appears to have the latest updates.

  • 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.

  • Acrobat Reader Prints Strange Characters

    The Reader prints files in a strange character encoding which looks like nothing - )*&#$@^(%)&%@#?><{::} and characters you cannot find on your keyboard. When printing from other PC's it's working perfectly. It does that with all languages and all PDF files.
    Here is a scanned result of the printing:
