Acrobat Reader won't print

I installed OS 10.6 and now 10.6.1. Acrobat Reader 8 wouldn't print. Installed Acrobat Reader 9. Won't print. Canon MP530 printer gives this error message: "Unable to open raster stream. No such file or directory." No problem previously, with 10.5 and Acrobat Reader 8.

Solved my own problem; read the solution here:

Hope it works for all of you with different printers. The issue seems to be in the printer drivers, though.

Adobe Acrobat Reader's slow printing

I had this same problem with Tiger when I first got a printer server for my printer (HP Laserjet 1200) but I fixed it by selecting another driver. Basically what happens is that takes like 5 minutes to print the first page, and after the first page it stops and waits a few minutes to print the next page. This only happens for Adobe Acrobat Reader but it prints like normal on Preview and Office. I've tired selecting other drivers, another protocols (Appletalk, IP, Windows), removing and adding the printer again, updating and downgrading drivers, but nothing seems to work.
My little brother (on a iMac 20" Intel Core 2 Duo and Leopard) also has the same problem.
Does anyone else have the same problem or knows how to fix this?

Adobe indicates that Adobe Reader 8.1.1 requires an update to be fully compatible with OS X 10.5. They are estimating the update will be ready in January, 2008. See http://www.adobe.com/go/leopardfaq They do not indicate what conflicts there are.

Acrobat CS3 won't print through XServe print server

Acrobat CS3 won't print through our XServe print server when connected by AppleTalk. Everything else prints fine. You can print the same .pdf with AppleTalk through Preview. And you can print with Acrobat through any other protocol but AppleTalk. The job spools, looks like it's going through but never reaches it's destination. We have 19 printers so it's not a single printer being cranky, and 35 Macs so it's not just a single Mac. All our users are on Active Directory and all are on the same subnet and VLAN.

Hello Scott,
If you look at the cups error log on the Xserve, does it give any clues as to why the Acrobat spool file is failing? Hopefully there is some indication as to which process is failing and why.
We're not using AppleTalk on our Xserve. All printer connections are set via LPR so I cannot offer any advice based on experience.

Acrobat Standard Won't print first 1/2 page of scanned document

I have a previously unseen problem. I've had the program for a few years, but now it won't print the top half of the first page of a scanned document (some of them). I tried to print something I scanned a few weeks ago, and it works fine. That one's also in color. The ones that won't print fully are black and white. Any ideas?

You're going to think this is impossible, but the problem only seems to occur with a couple of particular documents I was scanning. I tried deleting the file, rescanning and resaving, then printing with the same 1/2 page result. I tried scanning, saving, and printing a couple of sample documents (thinking I would send one of these to you), and there was no problem! After multiple attempts with the problem document, I fed it through the document feder backwards, and then it scanned, saved, and printed with no problem.
I'm using a Brother MFC-J6710DW printer, Windows XP Pro, Acrobat Standard 7.0. I've actually tried to update Acrobat, without success for some reason. The actual problem document is too sensitive for me to send out. I'd like to hear ideas, in case this repeats.
Thank you.

Adobe Reader Won't Print (ver. 10 or 11)

I have a well-maintained Windows 7 32 bit machine running in a VMWare Workstation virtual machine that prints to a network printer via TCP/IP.
It has worked well for years, including printing PDF's from Adobe Reader 9.
Some time ago I updated Reader to version 10. Printing stopped working. Eventually I uninstalled Reader 10, and re-installed Reader 9, and printing then worked normally.
I decided to try to update to the latest Reader version 11 (downloaded today) and had the same results: the installation completed without error, I can open and view documents fine, but printing does not work.
When I attempt to print from Reader, I see the appropriate dialog boxes, and receive no error messages. The print job just never makes it to the printer (or the Windows print quque).
I uninstalled Reader 11, and re-installed Reader 9 once again...and again printing now works fine.
I guess I will continue to use Reader 9...but I would like to get to the bottom of the printing problem so that I can eventually update Reader.
FYI the printer in question is a Lexmark C544dn, and I am printing to it via ethernet. I have alread removed the printer from WIndows, and re-installed with latest drivers (at least twice), with no change: printing still does not work.
Any suggestions on causes or possible resolutions?

Thank you for providing the suggestion and the Cleanup tools, however they did not help.
I ran each version of the cleanup tool, and for each I had it clean up Reader and Acrobat (i.e. 4 separate cleanup operations). I then rebooted the machine, and installed Reader 11.0.3.
Still had the same behavior: Reader will not print. I tried printing to a second printer (that is attached via USB)...and it did not work either. I also tried printing to a Cute PDF Writer print driver...and that did not work either. In each case, no print data made it to the Windows print queue (as demonstrated by watching the queue while printing.) No error was raised, but no print data was transmitted.
I then uninstalled Reader 11.0.3, rebooted, and re-installed Reader 9: printing works fine now.
There is definitely something in Reader 10 and Reader 11 that breaks printing in some environments. (As you alluded to...I have seen a number of postings online about printing problems in Reader.)
More details about my environment:
Windows 7 Professional N (Version 6.1, Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
VMWare virtual machine
Two virtual CPUs (each: Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz, 2673 Mhz, 1 core, 1 Logicial Processor)
Hardware Abstraction Layer: 6.1.7601.17514
RAM: 3096 (allocated to virtual machine)
Bridged networking
VMware host:
Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit 6.1.7601, Service Pack 1
18 Gig RAM
Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @2.67 GHz
VMWare Workstation 9.0.2 build-1031769
(but problem existed on older version of VMWare Workstation 7.x as well)

Where does Acrobat Reader store its print preferences?

I'm trying to print a file directly with no human interaction using Acrobat Reader. To do such, I'm using the command line arguments "acrord32.exe /t filename \\printerlocation\printer".
Printing works just fine except for one detail: some of my pdf files need printing with "Auto Rotate and Center" checked and "Page Scaling" to "None", while others need "Auto Rotate and Center" unchecked and "Page Scaling" to "Fit to Printable Area"...
I've realised that Acrobat Reader stores its last selected preferences (if you close Acrobat and re-open it, these two settings are still set as they were the last time you closed Acrobat) but the question is... where?!
I've noticed the bprintAutoRotate and the bprintExpandToFit keys in the registry under (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AVGeneral) and they even change their values whenever I change the options in Reader and close the application, but changing them through my application seems to have no effect - I see the values changing in the registry but Acrobat still prints (and displays if I open the print preferences dialog) the last settings it had memorized before I changed them in my application...
Is there any other location where Acrobat stores these printing preferences? Is there a way to change these settings through the windows registry or any other configuration file(s)?!
By the way, I'm using Acrobat Reader 8.1.3.
Thanks in advance

Acrobat 9pro won't print to PDF

I am using Acrobat 9pro on my Windows XP x64 computer. When I use Acrobat and try to print to PDF I get the error messages "The document could not be printed." and "There were no pages selected to print." I can, however, print to PDF from other applications such as Word. This problem started suddenly a few months ago after having used the application fine for a year or two. The technical support person told me they wouldn't help me unless I paid $35 to upgrade to Acrobat 10! I'm at a loss.

I'm having this problem too. Acrobat 9.5.3 running on Win 7 x64. After updating Reader form X to XI, Acrobat stopped printing .
I've tried everything: repairing installation, complete installation, removing all the package, removing reader and acrobat, update printers driver, reinstall printers... nothing worked.
Now the only way I have to print is using Reader, that works properly.
This are the dialog boxes coming up: "Document can't be printed" "There were no selected pages to print". I can't have access to the printer setup window too, I guess this is connected to the same issue.
Thank you for your help

Acrobat reader will not print what is showing on the screen

I created a business card in a graphic design program, exported it as a PDF file. When I open the pdf file in acrobat, it will display correctly on the screen, but will not print correctly.
When I click on the print icon, a box opens and shows a small preview of what is supposed to print. What shows in the small preview box is correct, but when it prints, it drops off text.
When I go back to the program that created the card, it will print correctly from that program. When I open the pdf file in Photoshop, it will print correctly in Photoshop. It just drops off text in Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Reader when printing.

This sounds very similar to the issue that I am having.
acrobat pro printing correctly ,same file with adobe reader printing grey instead of black.
Unfortunately I have not yet gotten any feedback, and your post being over 45 days without a response doesn't bode well for my issue either.
Sorry I can't help you.

Acrobat Reader 9 slow printing

There is no question that Acrobat Reader 9 causes problems with printing. I, as many others, reloaded printer drivers, checked every other possibility and finally removed version 9 and reactivated version 8. No more problems. This was with an HP P2015 laser jet printer. Reader 9 definitely has some issues.

If Adobe Acrobat Reader prints slowly try the following:
1.             Open a PDF file
2.             From the menu, select File > Print
3.             From the dialog displayed, click on the Advanced button at the bottom
4.             On the Advanced Print Setup dialog, make sure that “Let printer determine colors” is CHECKED.
5.             Click OK and OK to print the document.
This worked for me.

Acrobat Reader ActiveX Control printer selection

Hello,
I'm using the Acrobat Reader ActiveX control in a web page (IE8) to automatically print a PDF document. I don't want to show the preferences dialog box, so I use the "printAllFit" method. This method sends the document to the default printer of the OS.
The problem that I have is that the client uses more than one printer, so I need to change the default printer before the method invocation. But if I change the default printer (manually or programmatically by a custom ocx) the ActiveX is still sending the document to the initial default printer.
I have solved the problem for Acrobe Reader 8 (or lower) by killing the Windows process of the Acobat Reader ("AcroRd32.exe") before a new method invocation, but in Acrobat Reader 9 this process doesn't exist (I think that it is associated to the IE process, and I can't terminate it).
Any idea to solve this problem?
Thank you very much for your help

With Reader 9, there is one process per PDF that is opened.

Acrobat reader will not print in OSx maverick

I have not been able to print pdf files in Acrobat Reader using OSx Maverick. I have re-installed the the most recent version of Acrobat reader a couple of times but no success printing. Anyone dealing with the same proble and is there a solution?

All I can report to you is that I can print from Adobe Reader just fine. I'm using an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1 and have been able to print since day one. One suggestion is to use Adobe Reader's print button icon instead of just Command-P. You might also try repairing permissions using Disk Utility.
What happens, exactly, when you attempt ot print and how do you try to do it?

Installing Acrobat Reader freeware as printer?

Maybe this is a weird question, but I'll try giving as much info as possible.
I still have 2 old computers in use, not too often, they're both from 2000 and just used for working with `Office 2000 Professional` programs.
On both computers (the desktop is Windows98 and the Laptop is WindowsME) I have the Acrobat Reader6 freeware installed, and at the time (in 2000) there was the possibility to install Acrbat Reader as a PRINTER. So, EVERYTHING and ANYTHING I choosed to print, I was always able to choose between my other 2 printers and ACROBAT READER .
Now, with my new laptop (windows7) it does not let me choose, or better, while I installed AR I did not have a choice to install it as a printer.
I know that I can SAVE i.e. Excel or Word files as PDF or XPS or other formats, but "in the good old times" I was able to print even pictures out of my camera software or IE-websites as PDF, choosing Adobe Acrobat as printer (yes, it was the free download)
Any suggestions? Thanks ahead for your time
LovePDF

I don't know if this was a feature of Acrobat Rader 6 that was discontinued.
If you want to try, you can still download it from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/6.x/6.0/enu/AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe (and/or try Reader 7 from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/7x/7.1.0/enu/AdbeRdr710_en_US.exe).

Acrobat Reader can not print to Xerox on Snow Leopard

I have a specific problem with Acrobat Reader. I can print PDFs with Preview, but not with Acrobat Reader to our Xerox printers. (Xerox Workcentre 7328)
It seems similar problems exist: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2155025 (that thread is however archived)
As I have the default file system, the solutions in that thread are not applicable.
Acrobat Reader version 9.3.1
Snow Leopard 10.6.2
Preview, Word, OpenOffice, and others print without a hitch. It's just Acrobat Reader that refuses to print, even though the print queue tool gets activated and everything seems normal there. I can't see if there are any errors on the printer itself.

Getting warmer...
So why do you need to use Acrobat? Acrobat for OS X is full of bugs and security issues...there is no reason to use Acrobat over Preview.

Acrobat Reader won't open

I previously had a trial version of Acrobat Reader which expired. I then purchased it and have the following issues when I try to open it. Clicking "Reopen" does not do anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jessicalang,
Please provide us the operating system details.
Did you try to license the trial version or simply reinstalled it again?
Regards,

Acrobat Reader Won't Unload

I'm using Acrobat Reader XI on Windows 7. It never unloads when I exit the program, so I end up with multiple copies eating up memory and CPU usage. What gives?

Both.
I'm an academic, and in the course of an average day I read a *lot* of PDF files. I have to keep Process Explorer running all the time so I can manually kill the reader before it cripples my machine.
Thanks for responding.
Cheers,
