Acrobate IX freezes when printing/creating pdf in Firefox - same settings as in IX

Hi Guys,
Had the product for a week and it is not working... Usual stuff, a new PC take weeks to bed down.
When I try to print/create pdf from something in Firefox, both Acrobate IX and Firefox freeze. I have the old PC with Firefox and Acrobate IX, same default setting and it works everytime. XI freezes. Close Firefox and Acrobate and then re-open and it may print. If it does the next time I try it freezes.
Can anyone help?? not sure how this works... but my email is [email protected]
This place was so hard to find... is there a way to tag this question when an answer comes?? Possibly a Moderator could make it so??

Hi,
Could you please let me know the version of both Adobe Acrobat & Firefox installed on your machine?

  • Problem with Acrobat XI license when printing to PDF, despite having CC

    Hi
    I have a Creative Cloud membership and all programs seem to work correctly, including Acrobat XI Pro.
    There is a strange problem though - when I try to print something from Microsoft Word 2013 and chose "Adobe PDF" as the printer (which creates a PDF from the document) an Acrobat window opens, titled "Acrobat XI-Pro Testversion", stating that the testversion has expired and asking to license the product. If i click on the "license this software" button, another screen shows up that states it wants to login with my Adobe-ID (showing my correct adobe ID e-mail address). Clicking on 'login' however leads to a third screen that just has 6 blank boxes and the request to enter a serial number (but since I have CC, I don't have a serial number for acrobat XI Pro).
    I already uninstalled Acrobat XI-Pro and reinstalled it (through CC) but the problem persists.
    Anyone got an idea what is causing this?

    Hi,
    I have the exact same problem. I have noticed that the screen asking for the serial number is on my OS language (Danish). If I deactivate photoshop and activate again the same screen is in English and allows me to login and register the license with no problems. Only when printing with the Adobe PDF printer I get the problem!!
    Anyone?

  • Acrobat X freezing when printing from IE and other apps

    Since the last update, each time I try to print to .pdf while in Internet Explorer, or other Microsoft applications, it will not print to file AND it freezes the application (I am left with a print window frozen AND the application frozen).  Any ideas?  Thank you.

    Hi HRPRO-MT,
    Please try repairing Acrobat and check if it solves the issue.

  • Freezing when printing to PDF

    Greetings All,
    I am running Windows server 2003, with Citrix Metaframe 3.0. My clients are Macs connecting with the citrix client as well as MS clients using RDP (the issue happens on both). They run a PC application (a database app) that resides on the Citrix server (MS Windows 2003 server). All is fine, except when a user runs a report and prints that report to a pdf file, when they go to exit that app, their connection freezes and I have to
    manually disconnect them. If the same user uses the same setup logs onto the server, just views the report OR makes any changes to the databse, then exit the app, their connection releases with no issues. So I have narrowed down the issue to printing to a pdf file. Is there a security setting that needs to be modified to allow all users to do this, or is it something else?
    Acrobat 7.0 standard and distiller are installed on
    this server. I've included an event error:
    Event Type: Warning
    Event Source: MetaFrameEvents
    Event Category: Printer Management
    Event ID: 1103
    Date: 6/25/2008
    Time: 2:40:04 PM
    User: N/A
    Computer: CITRIX2
    Description:
    An error occurred while retrieving client printer properties. Default
    printer properties will be used instead. Client name: (Andy Zevons Compute)
    Printer: (Technology Manager (from Andy Zevons Compute) in session 2)
    Printer driver: (HP Color LaserJet PS)
    Thanks in advance,
    -andy-

    It is not clear if the client is using Acrobat on a local machine or you are using a server print of a PDF. If the latter, you may have to hope someone has server experience here along with comments about the license. Acrobat generally is only licensed to work on a local machine. Thus if thy are using it locally, they need to be able to somehow see the report and be able to print from the application on their machine.
    I have no clue about the server applications and the possible viewing aspect that is needed.

  • Acrobat 10 freezes when optimizing a PDF in custom scan

    Hello,
    Running into an issue where we use the Custom scan feature in Acrobat.  In the window, I even uncheck Optimize Scanned PDF, but Acrobat still optimizes regardless.  Going to Options for Optimize and turning everything off does nothing either.  Current version is 10.1.5.
    Our scanner is Fujitsu 4860C2 using Kofax VRS TWAIN driver.  From what I can tell it is the latest driver and software.  The kofax has a feature called Enable Advanced Clarity which is necessary for quality scan.  If we turn this feature off, the optimize freezing does not occur.
    Any idea what causes this?

    Update - I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe and the drivers.  Now, even if we turn off advanced clarity it freezes.  So evidence is pointing to a bug in adobe custom scan.  Acrobat ignores the optimize scanned PDF checkbox, it will attempt to optimize regardless.

  • Photosmartc4975 (win7) freezes when printing multipage pdf files.

    After several pages (random number usually about 3) it stops in the middle of the page and printer freezes. Needs restart.
    The printer is set up as network printer.
    Any known solution?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    the 'Print' button you describe is the 'Print' button of the Adobe PDF reader ActiveX control.
    Start>Adobe Reader>Edit>Preferences>Internet>uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
    and
    Internet Options>Advanced tab, uncheck "Do not save encrypted files to disk"

  • Adobe Acrobat XI Standard crashes when we create pdf from scanner

    We are using adobe acrobat XI standard, version 11.0.06
    WIndows 7 Pro 64 bit
    scanner: Xerox documate 4799
    Acrobat crashes when we create pdf from scanner

    Spent quite a while on this one..  My problem was related to twain drivers which reside in c:\windows\twain_32.  I'm running windows 7 64-bit.  First it's usually possible to scan in windows 7 maybe vista and from adobe without even using twain (using WIA).  So try renaming the twain_32 folder to _twain_32 and see what happens...  If that stops the crashing look at the contents of the twain folder.  I had a Dell folder for some printer I wasn't even using.  That was causing the crash. I removed the dell folder and renamed the twain folder back to twain_32.  Now everything works as designed.

  • FireFow freezes when printing to Adobe PDF printer

    Hi,
    I regularly but not always have FireFox freezing when printing a page with the Adobe PDF printer (not with the plug-in but by using the "print this page" button on the page I visit or by clicking File > Print . The only way to get out is to kill FireFox.
    Most often, I can eventually print the page after restarting FireFox and regaining access to the page. The trouble is that the page may no longer be available if the site requires identification and starts a new session ( ignoring the previous one).
    This is annoying.

    This is as much as I know about that add on [http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/using-pdf-printer.html] Have you checked the printing preferences or made any changes recently?
    It is also possible to reset the printer settings: [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]

  • When printing to PDF Acrobat locks up at spooling

    Running Windows XP and Office 2007 and Arcobat 8 (with most recent web updated)
    When printing to PDF from any program (Word, Excel, Quickbooks, even Acrobat), the creating PDF window locks up and the print job gets stuck at the spooling status. No errors are displayed, I'm unable to cancel anything. Seemed to start happening after downloading the latest updates.
    Have tried to repair installation 3 times, reinstalled program 2 times, with no sucess. Have run this version for over three months with no issues beforehand.
    Help!!!!

    AcroTray is running in background.
    Thanks, will try that. Just have to work out Word settings so the conversion is seamless. Word tends to drop images and such when I do that.
    In the interim, I've downloaded the CutePDF driver and all seems to be working. Ultimately the issue seems to lie with the PDF driver provided by Acrobat, but no matter how many times I reinstall the driver I still get the same problem.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Edna,
    It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X.  Choose Edit > Preferences > General.  Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu.  Click Apply, then OK.
    Restart your computer.  Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

  • How do I preserve the embedded hyperlinks when printing to .pdf?   I am using Acrobat Pro XI for Mac, and when I export to .pdf the existing hyperlinks lose functionality.   I assume it's just the flick of the right button – I just need help finding that

    How do I preserve the embedded hyperlinks when printing to .pdf? 
    I am using Acrobat Pro XI for Mac, and when I export to .pdf the existing hyperlinks lose functionality.   I assume it’s just the flick of the right button – I just need help finding that button. 
    Can you help?  Thanks!

    How:  MS Word to .pdf by Command P, hitting the PDF button, and then the button for "save as Adobe pdf"
    I didn't have this problem at all on prior versions of Adobe on my PC.   This isn't a Mac attack, is it?

  • Acrobat X freezes when I run a JavaScript Action after about 200 files.

    Acrobat X freezes when I run a JavaScript Action after about 200 files, batches with less than 200 files work well.  I can watch the Acrobat.exe process in the resource monitor and when the Threads reach about 2000 and the Working Memory reaches 500mb, Acrobat freezes.  The JavaScript creates 2 redaction areas, applies the redaction, then saves the file to another location.  I've tested it on both Windows Server 2008 and Win7 32bit. I'm running Acrobat X Pro fully update to 10.1.10.

    It is possible to have the Redaction tool search for a text string across multiple PDFs without using the "Action" wizard or batch processing. You will have to learn the exact steps to properly set the properties for each string of text. You can also review the items marked for redaction and either accept, remove or adjust as needed each one.
    There are 3rd party tools that can also redact PDFs and they existed long before this feature was added to Acrobat. Appligent Document Solutions Redax..
    Appligent even has a server based product for large amount of files or using watched folders.

  • Adding a map page causes my book to freeze when printing or purchasing

    I have created several books with maps. When printing to pdf, viewing in Preview or even purchasing, the everything "freezes" at the map page. If I remove the map page everything works fine. I've purchased many books before, but I've never used maps. I'm using iPhoto '09 v8.1.2
    Thanks

    Problem solved! The larger the map, the longer it takes to "compile" that page. My map page included all of North America. When I zeroed in to just one city and surroundings, the map page compiled very quickly. So I went back to my North American map and decided to just wait. The blue progress bar stopped at that page as before, but after 20 minutes or so it proceeded to the next page and finished the rest of the book. Patience is a virtue.

  • I have a user that has an issue when printing to PDF.

    I have a user that has an issue when printing to PDF. When printing to PDF the PC will intermittently freeze and sometimes the print spooler will crash taking all other printers offline. A reboot clears it up for a while but then it comes back.
    Acrobat 11 Pro
    Windows 7 x64
    Office 2010 Professional
    Any help would be great!  Thanks

    I manage a network of 30,000 + workstations all with Acrobat Pro 10.  Upon upgrading to 10.1.10, they all exhibited similar symptoms printing to the PDF printer.  The problem is most obvious in IE 11, it will cause the browser to stop responding, however it seems to depend on the page being viewed.  For example we can print google.com, but not yahoo.com.
    And of course there is no method to roll back to 10.1.9, other than to completely remove and re-install Acrobat.
    I hope this is getting addressed soon!

  • Bad crash when printing to pdf in Morningstar software - is it a 64 bit problem?

    Had bad crash when printing to pdf in Morningstar Principia Pro software - is it a 64 bit compatability problem? All other software I have can print
    to Acrobat pdf, but in Morningstar the Window 7 PC freezes and not even Task manager can
    unfreeze the computer. Acrobat worked fine in my old XP 32 bit PC when printing from Morningstar. Recently a webinar using
    an Adobe webinar software I was told I must only use a 32 bit browser, so I suspect Acrobat is incompaitble with my new 64 bit PC. Work around solution is to print to Microsoft XPS and then convert to Acrobat but I want to use Acrobat only! Is there a patch for people using 64 bit PCs?
    Can someone at Adobe respond to me, please? I have used Acrobat for over 10 years and am very loyal.

    Michael: I have tested other programs ability to print to Acrobat and also tested ability for other programs to
    export to Excel or Word. The only crash is when printing an Acrobat pdf from Morningstar Principia Pro I get a bad crash. The work around is to print to XPS and then convert the XPS file to Acrobat pdf. To get out of the crash which can't be fixed by Windows Task Manager shut down, is to open the printer file and tell the printer to delete the pending print job.
    I'm using latest Version 9.3.4 Standard Acrobat; Win 7 Pro 64 bit, 10 g of RAM, HPE 390t standalone PC, no networking.
