Acrobat Reader printing problem

I am on Windows firefox.
When I print a file, First page is ok,
but following pages may contain or is almost full of chars replaced by other chars.
So, the page layout seems the same but text and numbers are replaced by a scrambled version.
On the screen, it looks ok.
Any clue about how to fix it?
Thanks.

Firefox uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
Either use a browser that uses the Reader plugin, or configure Firefox to use the Reader plugin; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136

Adobe Reader Printing Problem

I have a PC with Windows XP SP3. When I try to print a PDF document, I get the following message: "The document could not be printed. There were no pages selected to print." Of course, I had selected the pages to print.
Recently, I had many problems with Adobe Reader 10, so I removed it and reloaded Adobe 9. Today, when this printing problem appeared, I did a restore on my computer, taking it back a few months. I still have the printing problem.
Any idea what's wrong? Any idea how to fix it?

I have Acrobat Pro 9, but the feature I am using is listed under my
printers.
If I go to Print, then in the drop-down list of printers, I have PDF -
which essentially creates a new PDF document. I don't really understand
why it worked, but it did. The Print - PDF is also available to Word,
Publisher, etc.
Hope tis works.

Do you have Acrobat Pro 9? I can't find how to Print to PDF under File.....

Acrobat 9 printing problem

Here's the scenario:
Created a 1-age document in InDesign CS4, text with one jpeg. Created PDF. Tried to print from Acrobat 9.1.0 (Mac 10.5.6) but get error "Could not Print Document" then "No Pages were Selected."
Other jobs, created in InDesign CS4 (same day as previous job created). Saved to PDF using same settings, etc. Opened in Acrobat and printed fine.
PRoblem job would print fine from InDesign, and would print fine from Acrobat if Advanced Print option was set to "Print as Image". What could be going on with the Acrobat in the first job? Image in the document was a clean JPG (I also tried it with an EPS image with and without clipping paths). Same error every time.

All the text in the problem style is used elsewhere in the document on pages that will print fine on their own. In fact, I, myself, have no problems printing the PDF and no errors happened while making the PDF. A large amount (although not all people) had difficulty printing when they received an error simply saying the document could not be printed. Going page by page revealed the element that was causing the problem. Once the nested style was removed, the file worked fine.

Acrobat reader printing garbage characters

Whenever I print using Acrobat reader default characters print as garbage, even when printing using "Print as Image". Print preview looks fine but printer page shows mostly garbage characters. For example, when printing the Sunday Crossword puzzle from the Washington Post the numbers in the gird print fine but the clues and things like Across and Down headers print with garbage characters. This happens regardless of whether the document is printed from the Reader directly or from within a browser. I've used IE8, Firefox and Chrome and get the same result. The same problem exists regardless of which of my 3 printers I use (HP1020, HP Photosmart 8250, Brother MFC-3740W). Same type of problem happens regardless of what pdf file I try to print. Print preview always looks fine. Printing the same files from my other PC comes out with no problem. The problem system is running Windows 7 64-bit and problem only started recently, things used to print fine.

In the meantime you will likely find that the fonts are not embedded or you are not sending them to the printer. Reader has not been called Acrobat Reader since version 5. The name was changed to just Adobe Reader to avoid this confusion. Acrobat is the full product with a $$ value to purchase.

Acrobat Reader X Problem

I recently upgraded from Acrobat Reader 9 to Acrobat Reader X on Windows Vista. Ever since I have not been able to open any PDF documents that are sent to me via e-mail with Adobe Reader X although I can open up pdf files that are on my computer. When I try to open a e-mailed pdf document with Acrobat Reader X opened on my desktop it gets opened by Acrobat Professional Version 8 which was preinstalled on my computer and cannot be deleted. This does not stay open because I did not subscribe to the software. I have tried reinstalling Adobe Rearder X as well as using the "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" feature in Adobe Reader "Help" and also via the Control Panel "Set Associations" feature. This has never happend previously with any other Adobe Reader upgrades. I am not certain what else can be attempted or how to resolve the problem?

Hello Michael,
I think Galena01 was actually asking about Reader X and not Acrobat. She was just trying to give additional information.
I have the same issue in that after installing Reader X, it is no longer possible to open pdf files attached to emails or from websites. A Reader screen does appear but it remains blank even after several minutes and IE is often locked and a logoff / logon in Windows is required as Task Manager will not shut down IE in this situation. The only workaround appears to be to open Reader X first, then open the online pdf file.
I believe Adobe have released faulty code.
Windows Vista 32bit Ultimate SP2
All current MS updates
Reader X v10.0.1

Adobe acrobat reader 9 problem saving forms and copying photos

I used adobe acrobat reader 6 at
work and I have a form that I save with new data. I am also able to copy text and photos using version 6.
When I try to save edited forms and copy files from versiion 9 It wont allow me to do that.
Is their any way that I can copy text, photos and save forms in Adobe version 9?
When I try to save forms in version 9 it states that I am unable to save the form. When I try to copy text or photos it will not allow me to copy.

Are you talking about Reader or Acrobat. These are two different programs and Reader definitely has restrictions. Reader used to be called Acrobat Reader before version 6, but that has been gone a long time. The change was likely because of the confusion between Acrobat and Reader. The problems you indicate are suggestive of Reader, not of Acrobat.

Acrobat Reader 8, problems on case-sensitive HFS+

Hi,
I hope this is the right forum. I have formatted my Macbook to use case-sensitive HFS+ volumes, because I regularly use Unix programs (many of which have a built-in assumption that file names are case-sensitive) and now some functions of Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 don't work properly (e.g. printing and Updater). Since above formatting is the only change from my older installation, I assume it's because of the different HFS+ format. So I propose you test Adobe Reader on a Mac with case-sensitive volumes sometime.

Fill and save form in Acrobat Reader + checkbox problem

I use Acrobat Pro X to create fillable forms and then save the file as Reader Extended PDF - Enable Additional Features, and when I want to open it and fill it in in Acrobat Reader, I get a pop-up saying I can only save it as a blank document.
Another issue I'm having is that when I fill it in Preview and save it, everything saves except the checkboxes, they are always blank.
Could this be because I'm using Mac OS X Lion?

I'm sure I open the one that I save as enabled version but it does sound like the file is just being saved as a regular PDF. Here is the screenshot below of the security settings, I'm not sure exactly what the enabled version is supposed to show.
And here is the message I'm getting:

Consistant Acrobat Reader Update Problems

Why the hell can't adobe produce an acrobat reader update that doesn't feel the need to drop an icon on the desktop if it does not find one there?
This apparent need to mark you territory is highly annoying. Or can't you figure out how to disable it in the patch utility?

You mean Acrobat.com? This is an outdated software which has been replaced with online services at https://www.acrobat.com/

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:

busoppreviews: As I have written before - I have a printer connected to PC via USB, there is no network involved, only mechanically moving laptops.
PS Why on earth I can't reply on these forums using Firefox?

Acrobat Pro - Printing Problems

I've just started having problems printing from Acrobat Pro 9.0. I've heard there might be a patch or something to solve this issue, but can't find anything. I realize that this is an old program, but don't have the funds to upgrade, so have to stick with what I have. The problem occurs every time I try and print a PDF that was created in Illustrator or InDesign (it says that there are no pages selected or it just funnels through like it's going to print, but nothing happens and it disappears from the print queue. Occasionally I have a problem printing PDF's that were created from other sources (or downloaded from the web) - most of the time these take at least 15 minutes or so to print each page.
This just started happening. I don't have problem printing from other programs, just Acrobat Pro. Any help that anyone can send would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you for responding to all of my questions and helping with this problem. I'm sorry, but I'm not sure how to apply these. I've opened up the link and it wants me to connect to a server…I selected guest. It doesn't connect to anything. I'm not exactly sure what I am supposed to be doing with this.

Acrobat 9 print problem

I recently upgraded my Mac Pro from Tiger and Acrobat 8 Pro to Leopard and Acrobat 9 Pro (I know, I'm a little late to the upgrade party — apologies but it's hard to find free time to keep up with the software maintenance; Acrobat X and Snow Leopard aren't options for me yet). I installed both on a different hard drive, if that makes any difference; it wasn't a direct "upgrade" for either software.
I used to be able to print PDFs from Acrobat to our Dell 3110 color laser printer, but when I started using Acrobat 9 instead of 8, it suddenly started hanging up when I used the Print command.
I originally discovered the problem when running Acrobat 9.2, so I checked for updates and saw that I should be up to 9.4.3. So I have run the update patch, and nothing has changed. Please note that my other printer, a Minolta PagePro, printed the same files just fine; only the Dell was a problem. I installed the Dell printer fresh when I installed this Leopard system, and there haven't been any driver updates recently, so I don't think that's the issue.
I have tried searching the Mac Acrobat forum, and haven't found anything related yet; but I did see people having similar issues on the Windows side. Basically I can choose the printer I want to use, and do a basic setup, but when I click the Print button the dialog box freezes. I can't even click Cancel. And that window overlays ALL other windows that may be open on my machine. I can't move forward until I use the Force Quit command to dump Acrobat.
OSX version: 10.5.8
Mac Memory: 10GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Acrobat version: 9.4.3
PitStop version: 9
Any insight or workarounds would be welcome!

Yes this is a ridiculous annoyance. I have found two work-a-rounds......firstly by using my iPad. I got the document onto the iPad from my iMac using dropbox. Then used an iPad printer app to print the pdf via my wifi printer.
The other way was to send the document to a friend and get him to print it for me!!!!!!

Acrobat 8 printer problems

I have loaded Acrobat 8 on a new laptop. On any document that I want to convert to pdf and select "print to Acrobat PDF" nothing happens. It is showing as a printer under "devices and printers." Had no problem using same version on former laptop.

If you were able to install AA 8, you might be successful with operation on a Win 8 machine if you run the updates, but there is no guarantee. I have yet to hear of anyone being successful on Win 8 with AA 8.
Try the updates first. If that does not work, then try a print to file. If that works open Distiller and see if it will produce a PDF. If so, then it is an indication that either AcroTray is not running or is not compatible with Win 8. You might notice that by leaving out information, we are guessing at the probably cause by assuming an OS. If our assumptions are correct, there is a good chance your only version is to by a new version of Acrobat, but let's see if we can resolve the basic problem first.
