Adobe printing web pages - prints symbols not text

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Version 9.5.0 on a PC running Windows 7 with IE 9 V9.0.8112.16421.
When I print from certain web pages, for example flight documents using the printer icon and printing to the Adobe PDF printer the resulting pdf file has symbols rather than text. For example, "Erhlqj#" rather than "Boeing". The 'fixed' graphics text prints ok and if I cut and paste the symbol text into another document, such as an e-mail, it prints correctly i.e. "Boeing" rather than "Erhlqj# "!
If I use the toolbar Convert button to product the pdf it is correct. I've tried 'Repair Acrobat Installation" but it made no difference.
Anyone any idea where the problem resides? It was working ok until a few months ago.
See example below: top line is how it views in the pdf, second line is how it views on the website.
Cheers

Clear the Use Document Fonts option from the Preferences tab at the Print Dialog

First of all, update Firefox to 3.6.17 via Help | Check For Updates.
There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.
To uninstall the Yahoo Toolbar, go to Tools | Add-ons | Extensions. You should find it in there.
To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.

Just downloaded Firefox 4, cannot print web pages, print is all skewed, looks like secret coding.

Tried to print a web page friendly receipt and then tried printing a web page, print is skewed, looks like some sort of encryption.

Installing nightly builds is not recommended for most people. If you install a nightly build you will get updates every day. Though the current nightly builds are stable, it is not unusual for them to be very unstable and at time unusable.

D 110 PRINTER WEB PAGE PRINT INFO

Hello to all and Blessings. My question is -- Before HP's software update a few months ago I think, printing web pages included a header with document ID/name and a footer with the web address and date of printing. does anyone else remember this and is there a way to reactivate those functions? Can we compel HP to write that back into the software? Is there simple workaround to the same result.
Webpage URL and date was so handy for when I looked something up or printed a crtical email adn such. Hope I did this right and that someone can help.
Thank you all in advance

Hi,
If cutepdf has an option to embed fonts, you can try enabling it. Usually you may find the options in Firefox '''File''' ('''Alt''' + '''F''') > '''Print''' > '''Properties''' (for cutepdf) but in some cases you may also have to check the documentation/help for the relevant printer. If it was working earlier, you can also try to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox reset the print options].

Page Break symbol in Text print

When I print a report to text it prints a page break symbol. Is there anyway to get rid of that? The report was created in Crystal Reports XI Release 2.

Hi John,
Did you type the text in or did you Copy and Paste? A page break or non-printable character should not be there if you are typing it in on your own.
I've only run into this when copying and pasting.
Good luck,
Brian

I have similar problem but it happens when printing anything to the printer. has there been any solution posted?

I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader when prompted. Since then I cannot use Safari File Print to print web pages - the printer dialogue window opens but the page is blank. Also, when I try to use the safari Help button,the dialogue box is blank.

I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader update when prompted. Since then I cannot use Safari>File>Print to print web pages - the printer dialogue window opens, but the page remains blank. Also when I try to use the Safari Help button, the dialogue box opens but remains infuriatingly blank. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Since upgrading to ver 8 headers and footers on printing web pages do not print; typing response is terrible, type 20-30 char before seeing them; my PC or Firefox 8?

If I do an end task on plugin_container using Windows task manager, the typing response problem seems to go away temporarily. However, the plugin_container process soon restarts itself and the typing issue returns. It has happened four or five times while typing this note. Sometimes I start typing and the display of characters typed does not appear or while typing an displaying what is typed normally all of a sudden stops being displayed and eventually is displayed all in a blast of characters.
When I try to print a web page, the header and footer info that I have selected show in the print preview but disappears when I print the page and does not print on the hard copy.
I believe that both of the above situations began when I upgraded to Firefox version 8.
I tried to search for problems like the above with Firefox but could find nothing.
I tried all of the above in IE and IE works as it has in the past.
Is this a Firefox issue with version 8 or is there something wrong with my PC all of a sudden?

Response to cor-el suggestions:
I tried what you suggested as far as checking the theme (it's "Default 8.0") and deleting the sessionstore files (there was one .js file, one -1.js file and one .bak file). I still have the same slow response problems (especially typing, it has gone dead on me for a short time twice while typing this replay so far, now a third time) and lost of headers and trailers and some data.
I did the suggested actions three times just to make sure that I was doing them correctly. On the first try, the sessionstore.js and sessionstore-1.js was more than twice the size of sessionstore.bak. Since doing what was suggested, the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak are, I believe, the same size. I did not write down their size is why I am not certain.
The printing problem appears to only be with one website which is an investment website which I would prefer not to document here. I print from this website each weekday and I have confirmed that the printing problem started when the upgrade to version 8.0 occurred.
I need a solution to this or I am going to either go back to IE (Ugh!) or find another browser. The typing delays are an extreme annoyance since I do lots on the Internet including a lot of emailing. The delays also involve the buttons to select functions within a website.
Is there a way to get back to the version previous to version 8.0?

Printing web pages hogs the cpu. Only after printing is completely finished, I can access firefox again. Otherwise I get "not responding" error.

The print dialog comes when printing web pages and only when it goes away and printing finished, I can access the browser again.

This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

Can you try 'Print as image' (from the Advanced panel on the Print panel).

Using Windows XP and Firefox 3.6.15 web pages print with some of the script as unintelligible weird looking script or maybe some kind of computer script. This problem also occurs with the web page on which this question is submitted. This doe not occur using IE 8.0 with the same printer.

These have nothing to do with Firefox.

This one - C:\Users\Vinegarhill-User Acc\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ak4dv58c.default\extensions\ \components\afom.exe - is probably the '''AFOM - Memory Recovery & Retention For Firefox Only''' extension.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11922/
My advice is to uninstall that extension. IMO, you have too many extensions installed, and are asking for problems with Firefox. I am not against using a lot of extensions in Firefox ''(I typically have 45 to 50 extensions installed, but the mix of extensions you have scares me as potentially problematic.)''

I can not print web pages with my HP Deskjet 5440

I can not print web pages with my HP Deskjet 5440. I use Vista, no error page, just prints a blank page with headers and footers. Recently reinstalled printer driver from HP.

Hello , Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that since upgrading your Mac OS X 10.10 computer to Mac OS X 10.10.4 you have been unable to print colour photos wirelessly from your HP Officejet 5740 e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this colour printing issue. To be honest, it does sound like Mac may have loaded the generic Apple Airprint driver on your printer rather then the HP Full Feature Software and Driver package. Should this be the case then you will only have basic print capabilities. Please follow the steps below to confirm that your HP Officejet is utilising the correct driver on your Mac.
1. Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences. 2. Click Print & Scan, and then check if the name of your printer displays in the Printers list. 3. Click the name of your printer, click the minus sign (), and then delete the printer.  4. Click the plus sign (), click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer, 5. Click the Use or Print Using box, and then select the name of your printer in the pop-up menu. Ensure that the Officejet driver is selected and not the Airprint driver.
  6. Click Add to add the printer to the list.  Once your printer has been installed with the correct HP driver, please test printing a colour photo to confirm that the issue has been resolved. Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Should the issue persist there are additional software and driver troubleshooting steps I will have you perform. I look forward to hearing from you!
