Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: Printing Preferences display issue

Hi everyone,
A user reported an issue with the PDF Printer Preferences drop-down menus running outside the window and that there should be more checkboxes below the three that are showing (see screenshots).
Here is a screenshot of this same window on a coworker's machine (same version of Adobe and Windows).
We are using Windows XP SP3. Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.3.1), and current video driver. The resolution is currently set to max, but I tried a few other resolutions but they made no difference on how the PDF Printing Preferences displayed. I've tried repairing, uninstalling, restarting, and then reinstalling but none have done the trick yet. I also have checked the DPI settings and it is set to Normal.
If you have any advise, please let me know.
Thanks!

SOLUTION:
The issue was somehow related to DPI (START > Settings > Control Pannel > Display > Settings Tab > Advanced button). Eventhough the DPI was set to normal, I switched it to LARGE, restarted the machine, logged in after the reboot, changed it back to normal size, restarted again, logged in once more, checked the Printer Preferences and PRESTO --- a properly displayed window.

Adobe acrobat X pro printing issues

I purchased Adobe Acrobat X pro and it was installed on Windows 7/64 bits PC.
I have issues with printing into PDF file for web page. It seems that if I click "convert to PDF" icon on Explorer, it does not have problem converting a web page into PDF. However, if I right mouse click on "print" on a web site, I get a "postscript error" message on Notepad" instead of generating PDF file. With a different web site, it did create a PDF file, but some characters were totally garbage, totally illegible. But it did create a PDF with no problem at all for a certain web page. I had a similar problem with a previous version of Acrobat Pro, but this time it is more extreme.
Am I not supposed to use right mouse click on "print" in order to generate PDF files at all? Do I have to use "Create PDF-from a web page" menu to successfully generate PDF files, but not on "print" using right mouse? Or is this problem occuring specific to Windows 7/64 bits PC? But Acrobat X pro is supposed to work with 64 bits.
I do not seem to have any problems converting files, such as Word, Excel, or JPEG into PDF files so far....
Any suggestion is grealy appreciated.
Henry

We are unable to reproduce the issue at my end. We are able to print fine using both PS and PCL printers. Could you please let me know the exact make of the printer at your end? Also, let me know whether you are using a PS driver or a PCL driver.
Thanks,

Some of the times when I print a document from the internet using my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro printer, the letters appear in the PDF as symbols, How do I correct the problem?

On many documents that I try and print from the internet such as receipts, conformations, etc, using my Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional printer, the PDF shows some if not all the letters as symbols. I think it might be font issue, but do not know how to fix the problem. Any suggestions.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Printer Drivers does not pass windows logo testing.

Issue:
I'am using the Acrobat Wizard tool to customize Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to run create Adobe installed to run siliently within our network but I recieve the following hardware prompt to complete the install.
During the install of the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro I recieve a Hardware Installation prompt:
The software you are installing for this hardware:

Continue your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing.
Is there any way I can download the drivers before I run the installation or is there a patch for Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.

When I start itunes i get the message "Itunes was not properly installed if you wish to burn Cds you will need to reinstall itunes" Any ideas what i should do anyone?
That sounds like the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing aren't going in properly. (or there's damaged GEAR drivers for an old install stuck on the PC.
Perhaps manually uninstalling and reinstalling the GEAR drivers can get you past this. There's instructions for that on the GEAR wiki:

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Printer Problem

When I export my *.doc to a *.PDF using Word, the *.PDF generated displays correctly on my computer but prints incorrectly on my printer. Whole sections of text will not show up on the physical printout. All my software is up to date. Please help.

Check to see if the printer in Acrobat is set to document and markup. It may be that the information being printed has been restricted. When you say export, what do you mean. There is no export as such in WORD, only print to the Adobe PDF printer, Save As Adobe PDF, Save As PDF & other (the MS plugin), and the Adobe menu for create PDF (this is PDF Maker). The last comment may not be the issue for you, but is a clarification question on how you got the PDF.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro - Printing question

I was provided with a document by e-mail and was unable to print the way it was viewed on my computer. When you review the document under the print window - the "preview composite" shows the document as 13.4 x 64.7. It prints very small and long on the paper (and in the center) and there does not seem to be a place to change the properties to print on an 81/2 x 11 or even legal size. Any suggestions?

Thank you for the quick reply. I agree, I would have gone to that if I saw it on my menu...is it possible that Adobe 8 does not have "page setup"? I have print set up. When I selected fit to printable - it just stays the same on a bigger piece of paper.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Printing out of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and CS4 Illustrator

Hi, I'm working on a MacBook Pro, version 10.6.7 Mac OS X, I just hooked up the HP Photosmart Premiere C310 Series printer. It's hooked up via USB, and will print from all applications except Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Adobe Illustrator - CS4.
For Acrobat: When I try to print a PDF, I get the message "The document could not be printed." followed by "There were no pages selected to print."
For Illustrator: In the Print window, under Printer, I can either select Adobe Postscript File and save, or, select my printer where the preview is unavailable, it grays out all options and I can't select anything. OR, if I select my printer where the preview is unavailable, I get the error message "Can't print the illustration. The Color Management settings are inconsistent."
These are the only two applications I'm having trouble with, and since the printer is sold at Apple.com, I'm hoping someone else has come across these issues. Please help!
Thanks.

You may want to ask in the Acrobat or Illustrator forums. This one is for the free Reader application.

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.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro not printing correctly

Having issues with printing through Adobe Acrobat X Pro. For some reason, sometimes when i am printing pdfs, they will come out looking different from what is on screen. It looks as though it is compressing the pdf to a smaller size, although the images and fonts are the same size. It's basically changing the spacing on the paper. One of the documents is a fill in form for customers so it looks very strange that all the lines are spaced differently when the document is set up properly. The other weird thing is that it doesn't do it every time. It's hit or miss. Printing from the same HP LaserJet Pro 500 and haven't touched a single setting on the printer or in Acrobat. Any ideas?

I don't think it's page scaling. Here's the settings below. It's not scaling it down proportionally. The document has about 1.5 inches of space at the bottom
and when printed sometimes there is 3 inches of space and it isn't all of the line spacing that is decreased, only some of them. That's the strage part. It doesn'ty alter the size of the whole document, just random parts of it. I will probably switch the auto portrait/landscape option, but that shouldn't affect this.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro on Mac does not select duplex print by default

I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.8 for Mac. When I print a document, Acrobat does not select duplex print (i.e. "Print on both sides") by default. While I can manually select duplex print, I don't understand why this isn't the default option here as in every other application. Just for reference, here is a screen shot of my default print screen:
I have played around with duplex printing in the advanced properties of PDF's. I have also played around with the DuplexMode property in the com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist file. Actually, there is no DuplexMode property in the file, but I tried making one, which didn't solve the problem. There is a printBookletDuplexMode property but that doesn't seem to make a different. In any case, nothing has worked.
There are some similar questions on the forums, but they are either slightly different or haven't been answered. Is this such a difficult issue?
Thanks for any help,
Jonathan
Message was edited by: jondaman21. Small clarification to what I've tried.

I agree with your statement; even for a particular document, if I choose to "Print on both sides" and then print again immediately after, "Print on both sides" will be deselected.
However, I'm not sure what you're implying by you're statement. I'm asking precisely why this setting isn't sticky. Acrobat uses a non-standard printer dialog; in the usual dialog I can easily set a defualt duplex setting. I almost always want to print duplex. Why can't I do this by default in Acrobat?

Adobe Acrobat xi pro for mac (trial) PDF Printer Problem

I have just installed Adobe Acrobat xi pro for mac (trial) but it did not install a PDF printer,hence when I use other software such as Word etc I cannot find the PDF printer. Has anyone got a fix for this issue
Thanks

Hi Sailesh,
If you're running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or 10.7 (Lion), Adobe PDF is replaced.
See the following blog posting:

Adobe Acrobat X Pro memory issues

I work for a company that scans micro film cards into the computer. Each micro film card usually has about 4 to 5 pages on each card. The scanner we use scans those 5 pages into one pdf page. We just bought adobe acrobat x pro to help us split these images into separate pages. First we highlight the first part of the image, copy to clipboard, then under more insert options we insert from clipboard. This works as intended, but we run into a snag, 1st adobe starts eating up a lot of memory, and it gets slower and slower when you cut and insert pages. Usually after you have closed about 6 separate documents adobe bogs down to the point where it stops responding and has to shut down. I have searched on the web for the past 3 days trying to find out how to resolve this. I have done everything from removing add-ons, setting adobe as admin, running it in xp mode, setting affinity, setting priority, downgrading to a fresh install with no patch. I am at my wits end, any help would be appreciative.

Great... so there is no update to get over this pixelated text/art issue for Acrobat Pro X (10.1.13) due to the retina display???
I am a graphic designer so I know what I am viewing is hires. All my art & copy is pixelated and when I open in the newest reader the art is fine. Is there a more efficient workaround besides open in reader but use pro for any edits?

Printing Problems wtih Adobe Acrobat X Pro

I am having problems printing Adobe Acrobat X Pro forms. When I try to print, information entered into text fields will not print.

Since it just appeared to happen with the latest update of Acrobat 10.1.2, can you check to see if it's related to any of these known issues?
