Acrobat X unable to print

I am running Win 7 Pro 64 bit and Acrobat X v 10.0.3. I am able to view .pdfs but unable to print them. I am able to print from other applicaitons on this PC but not Acrobat X.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks for the response.
I am able to create .pdfs, just not print them to a printer from Acrobat. I am able to print to the printer with any other windows application.
In Acrobat X when looking at the Adobe Printer Properties -> Port tab, there isn't a "pdf" port. By default it installs to COM1.
The Acrotray process is running in the background.
Thanks

Unable to print drawing properly in Acrobat - however with Adobe Reader no problem !!!

Got a pdf (converted ACAD drawing) of which certain sections appear hardly readable on screen (grey, distorted ??)
Tried all print options (colour, B&W, save PDF again, check rersolutions, contacted supplier of printer etc.) I could think of but no improvements
By mistake I printed the file direct from explorer view and amazingly enough TEXT OKAY !
Printed original file to CutePDF_writer and - once again - section could be read without any problem
Thought I give the free Adobe Reader a try and once again: no problem at all
Adobe Acrobat is fully updated - beside a Java flattening scripts I have not had anything modified.
Strang situation: only with the professional tool I am using very often I am unable to print as required.
Looks to me the file to be printed has some fonts not recognized / supported / missing in my Acrobat software?
When yes how can I check & resolve ?
Actually puts me in a delicate position now - help urgently needed !
Assume I have to add fonts ? But got no warning anything missing...
And: should a professional software tool not at least match options / features of a free version ?
Added comment:
It's even getting more weird
Printing on an other printer (Minolta instead of Canon) NO PROBLEM AT ALL
Thanks for help in advance

Unable to print with Adobe Acrobat Pro - latest version 10.1.10

Hi,
I have installed Adobe Acrobat Pro on my mac book air version 10.9.2. but am unable to print. When I print a PDF, it shows up in the printer icon as complete but when I go to the printer, nothing is there? Can someone help?

Hi Frank,
This type of error usually occurs when two or more than two programs are accessing the same file at a point of time.
Does this issue occur with that specific pdf or with other pdfs too?
How about if you make a copy of that pdf and then try deleting pages from that copied pdf? Do let me know if that works.
If possible...Can you mail me that pdf file at [email protected] so that i can check this issue at my end?
Regards,
Rahul

Acrobat X prints PDF's - but only to desktop unable to Print direct to Folder - Error No Permission

Just installed Acrobat X and since installation I am able to print PDFs however am only able to print to my desktop and am unable to print directly into existing or even newly created folders.
System advises there is no permission to allow the print in the folder and to see the system administrator. As I am the only user,thus administrator, am having a hard time rectifying the situation.
Also noticed that the print window when it first appears is minimized and you need need to use a few clicks to open through "More.... " to get the computer or destop settings. Is there a way to have this print window default totally open to allow immediate access to all options.
Is becoming a bit tedious to go through this process to print PDF and then move from the desktop into the folders, which seems to be no problem at all.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Unable to print PDF files using Acrobat 8.

I had to uninstall and then reinstall Office for Mac 2011. I don't know if it's related or not, but since doing so I have been unable to print PDF files using Adobe Acrobat 8. After opening a PDF file and hitting print, Adobe Acrobat 8 crashes. Any suggestions? I already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 8, but it still won't print PDF files. O

While you are having difficulty in printing a PDF file, you may try the subsequent steps. If you are in a rush and would like to print a simple document such as a letter, a form, or a calendar, you may print it as an image. Next option is that you may need to update your printer driver if the PDF does not print, the PDF prints as a blank page or with unreadable text or if you get an error message when you print. Sometimes, when you print a file that is on a thumb drive or a network, the file gets damaged. Then you have to open the copy on your hard drive and print again. At last, you can try printing the PDF using another printer and check your printer connection too if the PDF does not get printed. get more help to fix unable to printer PDF file hope this helps you.
Good Luck!

Unable to print from Acrobat 9.0

I am trying to print to an inkjet printer from Adobe Acrobat 9.0. I am printing from a MAC which is running OSX 10.5.8 to an Epson 3800. I am using paper which is 12.5in x19in. I choose my paper 13inx19in using page setup. When I hit print the paper moves about half way down the paper and begins printing eliminting most of the images that I want to print. I have checked everything carefully and my printer seems to be setup correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you for your help, Mary Pat McNally

As Mike says upgrade to 9.1.3
If that doesn't resolve issue go to site of Printer Manufacturer and see if there is a updated Print Driver.
If there is, do the following:
Quit acrobat.
Download Driver
Open Printer Utility
Remove current listing for printer
Quit Printer Utility
open Driver File and install.
Go back to Printer Utility and ask it to locate new printer.
When your printer Pops up immediately make it the default Printer
Quit Printer Utility
Open system Preferences
open Printer/Fax Control panel
Set you printer as default there as well. Quit preferences
Now open Acrobat and set up printer (Page setup)
You might have to go to Custom Printer size at bottom of List
if so set height and width as desired.
Save this custom setup with a name.
Now go to document and choose Print/
Choose you custom set up if you wre not able to preset a listed size.
Now try printing Document.

PDF: Unable to print a document as PDF from APEX when using the BI Publishe

Hi,
From an APEX application, I am unable to print a document in a PDF format when using the Oracle BI Publisher.\
Here is the configuration:
1) Server A is W2K3 and hosts the Oracle BI Publisher server, with IP address ip01.
2) Server B is a OEL5.2 and hosts the database server of the APEX application, with IP address ip02.
3) Machine C is a W7 desktop from which through an URL both the APEX applicationn and the BI server are accessed, with IP address ip03.
4) The APEX application is configured with the following to use the Oracle BI Publisher:
- Printer server: Advanced (requires Oracle BI Publisher)
- Printer server protocol: HTTP
- Printer server host address: ip01
- Printer server port: 9704
- Printer server script: /xmlpserver/convert
- Network services are enabled (at least I did get any warning/error message)
From C, I access the the APEX application through its URL, if I try to download a page by selecting PDF in the download section of the interative report section for that page, I am unable to open if and get the error:
<file>. pdf file can not be opened because the file type is not supported or because it is damaged (because, for example as an e-mail attachment is not sent and correctly decoded)
Yet, still from C, I am able to open any other PDF document.
The same way, still from C, acessing the APEX application through its URL, I have a query report defined with a PDF output format. Then, when I test the report (Test Report in the Report query) for that query, I get the error:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
At first sight this could be a wong entry in the priinter configuration for APEX. But with this address, through the URL I can log in to the Oracle BI Publisher server.
Does someone has an idea what the problem could be?
Thanks for any tips.

How are you trying to print to pdf?
Don't go via PostScript or Acrobat Distiller, which are old deprecated technology.
You use:
Menu > File > Print > PDF (button bottom left) > Save as PDF…

Unable to print full page to 1 specific printer while other computers can.

I have 1 computer (Windows 7, 64 bit) which is unable to print full page to a Xerox Phaser 7760GX. I have other computers (Windows 7 64 bit and Mac OSX Mavericks) which are able to print perfectly fine to the same printer. This only happens in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, not in other software I have tested. The same PDF's also print to other printers without problem.
So far I have:
Re-installed drivers (including the Xerox Generic Drivers)
Set it to print as image (which makes it full screen, but also greyscale)
What happens when I try to print normally, is assume the page is portrait. It will print it landscape, on the right side of the page (so it takes up half the page). It will also send out a blank page after it. Has anyon else experienced this and come up with a different solution?

Glad you solved your problem. On Aperture 3.02 I find no expansion slider. Where is it in 3.01?

Unable to print to Adobe printer in any program including Office 2010

My sustem is a Windows 7 64 bit. I have Office 2010 installed as well as Adobe Acrobat Pro X ver 10.1.3. I am unable to print to the Adobe PDF printer. If I select it in Notepad it is Greyed out. If I select it in an Office product like Word or Excel it shows that it is READY. However if I select it so I can print to PDF I get an error message "Word cannot print. There is no printer installed."
If I got to Devices and Printers Adobe PDF is listed. If I right click on it and select "Printing Preferences" I get an error message "Operation could not be completed."
If I select Printer Properties I get an error message "The "Adobe PDF Converter" printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
If I click YES a wizard pops up, the Add Printer Driver Wizard. I select Next, choose either any of the Adobe PDF Converter Versions or HAVE DISK, the NEXT. If I select have disk I go to the proper place "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF" and select the file AdobePDF.inf. I then select the top Adobe PDF Converter and select Next. It says You have successfully completed the Add Printer Driver Wizard. You are about to add "Adobe PDF Converter, x64, Type - User Mode. I click Finish and get another error.
This error says "Unable to install Adobe PDF Converter, Type - User Mode, x64 driver. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000002)." I select OK and Adobe PDF Properties pops up. It has tabs like General, Sharing, Ports, Advanced, Color Management & Security. I can click on any of them and make any changes but once I click on OK and close the window and then Right Click on Adobe PDF there is no change to my results. I still get all of the above errors.
I have tried deleting the Adobe PDF printer and then selecting in Programs & Featues (Old ADD/REMOVE) the Adobe Acrobat X Pro item and right clicking on it and the selecting Change. It goes through almost a reinstall, it adds the Adobe Printer back but NO CHANGE. I still can't print to Adobe PDF.
Can someone help?

Can you try 'Print as Image' (Advanced button on Print panel).

Unable to print to pdf from any of my applications

Hello,
I am running Acrobat 8.0 on windows 7. Toshiba Qosmio 64 bit. I am unable to print to pdf from any of my applications. Office, Mozilla, Lotus 1-2-3 and others. When I choose the print option. And from the drop down menu choose Adobe PDF as the printer. And when I click to continue I get the little metered bar showing it's working, but then I get an error in the printer que. I don't even get an option what to save it as or where to save it to. It just goes straight to the metered bar showing its working. And it does this for all my programs where I can print to pdf. Can anyone help me? Also, this is a student version. Could the student version be unable to do this?
Thank you,
JimmyJoney

Although Acrobat 8 is not supported on Win 7, you can try a few things. First, apply all updates to Acrobat 8. If this doesn't help, check to make sure that the PDF port was created. If not, you can try:
Open Control Panel, select Printers
* Click Add a Printer
* Click Add a local printer
* Select Use an existing port (should be preselected), change the port to "Desktop \*.pdf (Adobe PDF Port), click Next
* On the next page, click Have Disk...
* Click Browse and browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF (or wherever you have Acrobat installed), click OK.
* It should now show a series of "Adobe PDF Converter" entries. Select the first one and click Next
* Change the printer name if desired, uncheck the box to use it as a default printer, click Next
* Do not print a test page, click Finish
* Find your new printer in Printers. Right click on it and select Properties, Advanced
* Click "Print directly to the printer", click OK
These last steps are detailed in the following discussion.

Unable to print pdfs now

I am a mac OS X 10.4.11 user and I have had adobe acrobat 8 professional over a year. Recently, I am unable to print pdfs. I can open them to read, but when I send them to the printer they won't print. The printer icon just jumps then nothing happens.
When I go to the printer utility list in the printer set up utility Adobe PDF 8.0 shows up on the printer list. The bar just spins and it says Starting Distiller job
I even tried switching to a brand new printer, from a HP 990cse to a Cannon pixma iP4300 however that doesn't help either. Same result (or rather lack of results). It doesn't seem to be in the printer.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this new problem
Thanks so much
Gail

Gail,
You generally do not print pdfs to the Adobe PDF 8.0 instance, but to a
different printer like your HP 990cse. Try to reset your printer system.
I'm on a 10.5 machine now, not a 10.4 machine, so I can not give you
directions on how to do so.

Unable to print, pages not selected.

I have reader XI and I get an error message saying unable to print pages not selected. the only things on the forum have been they same error with reader 9. I have tried all of those fixes with no luck. I have to open Acrobat with the Internet to print with is frustrating as I work with a proprietary software program that most of my reports come up in acrobat.
Please help.

Open Adobe Reader | Edit | Preferences | Documents: change View Documents in PDF/A Mode to Never.
Regarding the ExportPDF problem, please start a new topic in the ExportPDF forum.

How can I use Adobe Acrobat X Standard to print multiple documents on Lexis Nexis File & Serve?

I am unable to print multiple documents on the Lexis Nexis File & Serve legal website that used their Batch Document Processor software. The technicians there told me that Adobe Acrobat X Standard has an incompatibility with their Batch Document Processor software. I never had a problem with Adobe Acrobat 6.0 or Adobe Acrobat 9.0 and the Batch Document Processor program at the Lexis Nexis File & Serve website. I am now running Windows 7 Professional SP1. Before, we were running Windows XP Professional SP3 with the IE 8.0 browser. We now are running the IE 9.0 browser.

The answer is in the question...
Only the Pro version of Acrobat is capable of batch processing files (which
I assume the Lexis Nexis tool uses). Until now you had Acrobat Pro, and now
you have Acrobat Standard, and therefore you can't use it anymore. You need
to upgrade to Acrobat Pro.
