Acrobat X won't print

When I restart my computer I can print a pdf doc. But the second or third time I try, I get a blank screen instead of a print dialog. If I restart the computer, I get one shot again. I have the latest updates. This happens regardless where the pdf doc originates (e.g. quickbooks, word, etc...) Help, please!

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)

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:

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 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 8 Won't Print - AGAIN! Need Help!

I'm running Acrobat 8 on Windows 7 64 bit. When I installed, I also installed that dll file you need, set it to print to file, everything worked fine for 2 months. This morning, I wake up, go to print a pdf, no go. I remembered that it updated about 2 days ago, so I remove the program, reinstall, nothing. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting my printer, nothing. This software is expensive and it only creates headaches for me. Does someone know how to fix this? I have work to do today. Thanks

You are trying to print a PDF opened in AA8 to what? Have you updated AA8 to the latest update? The canned answer is that AA8 is not certified for Win7 (particularly x64) and you would need to upgrade. However, several folks have AA8 running with Win7 and think some of those are X64. More information about the printer and the subversion of Acrobat would help. AA 8 is currently at 8.3.1.

Photosmart 7550 suddenly won't print anything but scanned images?

Hi all,
I've had this printer for a while and have had zero problems with it, and I don't think there's one now. More likely a setting I can't find. I just scanned a bunch of stuff that printed up just fine, but text documents, (I use Open Office) and PDF docs will not. I've tested this out and haven't been able to discover what I've done wrong. I can print anything that I've scanned (scanned docs are displayed by Windows Photo Gallery), but no ODT (Open Office) or PDF (Adobe Acrobat). Won't print from e-mail, either. It was all working fine the last time I printed any ODT or PDF, but it has been a couple of months for those, though I was printing e-mails as recently as last week. Also, when I send the command to print, I see the status bar spooling the pages to print, but the printer never reacts. Then when I double click the printer icon in the toolbar, the printer status window that opens shows "printing", but then suddenly it says "deleting" and it disappears and there are no jobs pending.
I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit. Drivers are up-to-date.
Can anyone help?

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.

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 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).

Acrobat Pro 9 in OS X 10.6.7 won't print

I am trying to print with my Epson Stylus R280 printer with Acrobat, and it is really strange. I get the print dialogue and it acts like it is going to print, but instead of printing the printer just ejects a blank page for every page I am trying to print. It is really frustrating. I have to use Preview to print any PDF files, and that works fine, but I just cant' Acrobat Pro 9 to print at all.

Well, I had no idea what I was doing with the whole SANE/Twain thing (although I did read about the SANE project) but I did go ahead and install the Snow Leopard components for SANE as you suggested. This did not help. Now in Acrobat a scanner named "SANE" shows up in the list, but when I select it and try to scan I get the following error message:
I did not see my HP scanner in the list of supported scanners on the SANE site, but thought I'd try anyway.
I have not yet tried the other suggestion you made.
Thanks for trying.
Sorry won't work unless you machine is listed, or type similar to yours is listed. in one of the components is installed in the system preferences go through that list and turn off all items except for your brand of scanner. And try again.
Also restart computer, and unplug and plug back in your scanners usb connection.
If that doesn't work. Then you have to go to Silverfast and see if they have a package for your Scanner. If so. You will have to pay for it. But is well worth it.
I never have understood which despite having Scanner in Acrobat praticaly since day one. They have never been good about scanner support in Mac anyway.

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:
http://tinyurl.com/ydpcdzu
so it seems to be a known issue.
and also sourced and did due diligence with troubleshooting list:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403864.html
(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 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.

Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.4 - Printing in color won't work

Hello,
So what I've done so far:
Checked the printer's settings
Checked the Color management features of Adobe Acrobat and made sure they are set to color.
Every setting is set to color that I could find.
Adobe Acrobat Professional is not printing in color, other Windows applications are. I checked the printer's default options as well as prior to printing, the "current" settings. The PDF has color. Any ideas why the pdf won't print in color?
Thanks for all and any replies.

Es handelt sich hier um einen Canon iR C3080.
Betriebssystem Client: XP
Betriebssystem Server: Windows 2003 R2
Die Einstellungen standardmässig auf Farbe: Auto, ich habe Sie noch auf Farbig eingestellt, das er explizit jedes Mal in Farbe druckt.

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.

Can you try fix mentioned in the below link and see if this resolved your issue.
