Acrobat won't print poster

Hello!
I'm having problems printing long images to poster using adobe acrobat X. I'm using a Xerox phaser 7800GX and am printing from a Macbook Pro OS 10.9.4. Both the computer and printer software are the latest versions. I can print a normal 1 page image fit to size of tabloid, but as soon as I print a longer image that needs to be printed across multiple pages the images become extremely small. I've tried reinstalling the drivers, restarting the computer and printer, checking for updates, printing different images, printing from preview, etc. Nothing seems to work, and weirder still is that sometimes it just works fine. Twenty pages will print incorrectly and then suddenly the next page will print perfectly followed by more problem pages.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you.

First let me state that this is my solution on a Macintosh running 10.7.5 and Acrobat Pro X (with all the latest updates).
This problem started for me just this last weekend. I have been to every so-called solution that I could find via a Google search and NONE of these "solutions" even by the self-tagged "experts" work. PERIOD!
I decided to follow one suggestion to install Acrobat Pro 9. However, instead of uninstalling Acrobat Pro X first, I left it installed.
During the initial startup of Acrobat 9 after installation I was offered the option of installing an Extra feature called Adobe PDF Printer which allows me to "Create Adobe PDF files from any application by printing to Adobe PDF Printer". I opted in to that extra.
Once Acrobat Pro 9 had started I tested it using one of the PDF files that had failed to print with the dreaded "No pages selected......" error messages. THE FILE PRINTED AS EXPECTED!
I then decided I would uninstall Acrobat Pro X, but on a whim decided to try to print the same PDF file that had just printed using Acrobat Pro 9 one more time. IT PRINTED!
All I can figure out is that somehow selecting the option to have Acrobat Pro 9 install the option for allowing other applications to create a PDF repaired something within the Mac operating system. Just a guess.
Hope this helps someone.

Acrobat won't print, no page selected

Since I upgraded to a new iMac with Mavericks, acrobat (updated to latest version, 10.1.9) won't print anything. I get an error message saying 'the document could not be printed' and then a second message saying 'no pages were selected'. I have tried selecting pages in different ways, and I've tried printing various different pdfs to both my printers (Brother HL2030 and Canon Pro9000). I have the latest drivers on these, which are printing other documents fine, so there's no problem with either the files or the printers.

Won't print post office labels

My printer won't print U.S. Post Office labels. When I send the label to the printer it does noting and it doesn't even show up in the queue. This is suddenly a new problem as I have repeatedly printed many labels in the past.

For those of you you who are still looking up an answer, I found this:

Print Button issue... Acrobat won't print

We have one particular machine here at work where Acrobat will not print. You can bring up the Print dialogue box and change all the print settings, but when it comes time to actually print the document, it's like the "Print" button does not work. It is highlighted, but just does not depress. Hitting Enter does not work either. We've tried installing different versions of Acrobat and Acrobat Reader, and the same thing happens, yet other Adobe applications print without issue. OS is Tiger. We've tried Acrobat 6, 7, and Reader 8 & 9.
Is there a preference I could kill which might reset this?

Just saw your post. I've been having similar problems. I've reinstalled the printer, reset the printing system, and still had problems. However, it SEEMS as if I've had some success when I do a "page setup" in Acrobat before going to the print command. Let me know if this helps you.

InDesign and Acrobat Won't Print

15" MacBook Pro running 10.4.11 --- CS3
I cannot print from InDesign or Acrobat. I can print from the other CS3 suite and from other programs. I have reinstalled both programs. I have tried printing to different printers via usb and wireless. I have reinstalled both printer drivers. I have purchased a new battery. I have never installed additional plugins.
Both printers will print test pages. Please post suggestions or knowledge.

Wait...you don't have enough harddrive space to do a full install? That could be the answer to your problems right there.

Acrobat won't print to installed printer, only to adobe pdf file

This is a sudden problem, started about a week ago. When I open or download a pdf file - any file - and try to print, the print box reads "adobe pdf." No matter which installed printer I try to print to, the entry flashes back to adobe pdf. This happens in Acrobat 7. I downloaded the newest version of Reader, and it does the same thing. No, the print to file box is not checked. These files can be opened and printed from any other computer in the office, so it's not the files. Using Windows 7 and the printer is HPx476dn. Help?

Hi Maureen,
Can you please elaborate your issue?
Do you want to set a different printer as default printer?
If yes, then please follow the steps in this KB doc. Change the system default printer

Acrobat won't print to printer (others will)

This is a strange one. I just upgraded to Acrobat Pro XI Mac. I print to both a USB printer and one on a network. All programs (word and acrobat) print to the USB. But while word documents (and others, such as mail) will print to the network device, the pdf files will not. I suspect this has something to do with the new acrobat print dialog box. Also, when I look to fix a problem, such as two sided printing, it tells me to go through the mac print dialog, but the program discourages that.

Acrobat Pro XI Mac won't print a .pdf file, but Apple Preview will print correctly

Hello,
I have Acrobat Pro XI for Mac. recently I've run into pdf files that will show the document on screen ok, show up on print preview screen ok, but when I send it to a printer I either get:
1. no printout... the document passes through the printer queue ok, but nothing comes out (no blank paper, nothing). no data seems to even reach the printer/print server. no error. the print job basically vanishes into thin air like the job was never sent
2. prints out with all the characters of a text substituted with squares (again, no error. just prints squares instead of text)
But when I print the same document using Apple's Preview program on the same machine, the file prints out fine.
I experience this problem with two different Macs, with two different OS versions. Again both machines will print the .pdf file fine using Apple Preview, but not with Acrobat Pro XI.
I've searched for this problem, but no one seems to have this problem. I've tried just printing one page, etc., and no difference (won't print, or print wrong using Acrobat, but prints fine using Preview)
the files are typically sent via e-mail from a vendor, or a web downloaded form (invoice, forms filled out. some are secure, some are not). and these are from multiple sources.
Any ideas what might be the problem, and how to fix this?
system:
Mac Pro (early 2008) and MacBook Pro (mid-2011)
MacOS 10.8.4 and 10.6.8 (multiple computers have this same problem)
Acrobat Pro XI, 11.0.04
printer: HP LaserJet 5MP (yes.. old.. but it works) via HP JetDirect + print server on LAN

I just found this solution on another board, I tried it (I removed the same file listed below) and it worked for me....
Safari won’t save or print PDFs: how to fix
:: Tuesday, January 29th, 2013 @ 5:29:46 am
:: Tags: Computers
If Safari won’t save or print PDFs (but views them without any problems), you probably have an Adobe PDF plug-in installed. In Safari, go to Help->Installed Plug-ins and do a search for “PDF.” If you have anything with “PDF” in it other than “WebKit built-in PDF,” that is probably the culprit.
On my computer, the problem was “AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin”. To remove it, I quit Safari, did a Spotlight search (Command-Option space) for that file name, and then dragged it to the trash. When I restarted Safari, I could print and save PDFs again. You can also manually find the plugins by going to the system “Library” folder (the one at the root of your hard disk, not in your user folder) and looking in the “Internet Plug-Ins” folder.
I’m on OS X 10.8.2, running Safari 6.0.2 (8536.26.17).

New HD, Now Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.16 Won't Print PDFs to HP2605dn

Had a HD die. Replaced with new one. All humming along on my OS 10.4.11 G4Powerbook except now newly re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.16 won't print PDFs to my HP2605dn printer. Adobe Reader 9.1.3 and Preview will print my PDFs so that's a workaround, but would like to get Acrobat Pro back to pre-grey screen of death functionality.
Have sourced hp:

so it seems to be a known issue.
and also sourced and did due diligence with troubleshooting list:

(even though technically I'm not on 9 - same difference)
I'm running out of ideas here. Anyone feel like playing House, M.D. with my problem???

What message do you get, exactly? (Please don't include the serial itself).
Is this using the original CD that came with the Acrobat 8 product?
Does it say anything about a "qualifying product"?

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 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:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2172229&tstart=0
Hope it works for all of you with different printers. The issue seems to be in the printer drivers, though.

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.

Acrobat X PDF Won't Print

I installed Acrobat X the other day.
Today, I tried printing a PDF document, but it won't print.
When I click OK, I get an error message that reads: document cannot print, then another message that reads no pages were selected.
If I click on printer, and select print from there, nothing happens.

pleasure: if you open the file in Acrobat Pro and save as, that sometimes does the trick as well. (if it does then its a better solution)

Re: HP7610 won't print 11X17 BORDERLESS

I have followed the instructions to print borderless on 11x17 from two software platforms: Acrobat X and Revit 2015. Each time, a portion of the page is printed, then "print cancelled" displays on the printer display and the page comes out half-done and the printer keeps printing half-done pages until I take the paper out and cancel the print.
Thanks!

Hi @padgemi,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you cannot print borderless on 11 x 17 size paper with your HP Officejet 7610 printer. I am happy to help!
Question for you: What Operating System are you using? Windows or Mac? What version? If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.

Logo Won't print from PC but it will print from Mac?

At work, i have a PC and my coworker has a Mac. We work on projects back and forth in Indesign/photoshop often. When i go to print a PDF of the project, our company logo does not print. However, if she prints from her Mac, it does. The logo shows up in InDesign and Adobe reader before printing on my PC, but it will not be on the printed page. Any ideas as of why? Thank you!!

Hahah! It was a joke!
As far as posting the files, it's pretty much all of our marketing materials that have this issue. We make all of them in Indesign and then can't seem to print them from Acrobat on any PC...
I would like to think you are correct about the printing settings, i just wish i knew what settings could be off. We have mainly PC in the office, so it seems strange that the majority of our own computers won't print our own materials correctly, you know?
