Adobe Reader 10.0.1 printing queue is enormous in file size

Whenever I print a PDF that's roughly 4KB in size, it shows up in my printer queue as roughly 30MB.  It takes forever for it to print if it ever does.  A bunch of the users at my company are experiencing the same thing.  Depending on what printer it is sent to, the printer may not have enough memory in it to queue the print so the print job fails.
A small work around we found was to set it to, print as image.  That reduces the file size small enough to print but is still quite larger than the normal file size.
Is there a way/setting to make these files print normally?
Other files on our PCs print just fine.  It's something with Adobe Reader and PDFs.

I am having this same issue in my office.  The printer will partially print the document and also spits out a page about the printer being out of memory.  Selecting "Print as Image" is our only work around but this sends a large slow page to the printer.
This was not an issue with version 9.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3.1 prints incorrectly in Windows 7 x64 - HELP

    Adobe Reader 9.3.1 PDF document pages at half size and rotated 90 degrees.  If I set "Print as Image" under the Advanced print options, it does print correctly, although the resolution isn't very good.  This happens on several documents (stand alone files and from Internet Explorer both).  I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
    On my Vista 32 bit system, Adobe Reader 9.3.1 prints the same documents correctly on the same printer.
    Has anyone heard of this problem?  Is there a solution?

    I have some of the same problem
    with my Windows 7 64 bit computer. I
    get an error when sending a document to
    the PDF veiwer and am told to shut down
    Adobe Reader.  Is there a download to
    correct this problem?  Adobe Reader 9.3.1
    works fine with Windows XP on my 32 bit
    computer.

  • Partial printing only from Adobe Reader via Server 2008 print spooler

    Hi there,
    We've recently set up a new print server for our school. It's running Windows Server 2008 (not R2) 32 bit. We have 8 printers, which are all HP LaserJet P2035n.
    All printing works fine, except for PDF files from Adobe Reader. PDF files from Adobe Reader go through the print server with no visible errors, however they print strangely.
    Often there will be a blank page at the start. Generally they will not print all pages (e.g. 4/10 or so) and they will cause the printer to error.
    We do not get this problem using other PDF readers or with the Google Chrome PDF plugin.
    Could you please provide some troubleshooting steps? Based on elimination, it seems to be something to do with the way Adobe Reader communicates with either the print server or the printer, causing some type of malformed request.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

  • In adobe reader, I can't print from different trays?

    Using Adobe Reader, I can't print from different trays on my Lexmark x954 printer.  I've tried reinstalling the print driver (latest version) and reinstalling Adobe Reader with no luck.  I can see the trays and even select them in the print dialog box in adobe but when I print I am unable to print from the correct trays.  It always prints from tray 3 of my printer no matter what tray and type of paper I choose in adobe.  Any suggestions?
    I've also noticed a problem printing through Preview.  I can select different trays using preview but the print time is extremely slow.  It seems like it has to re-download the pdf page each time it goes to print.  So a 100 page print job takes 20-30 minutes to complete which means other have to wait for my job to complete so it really slows our office down.
    Thanks for your help.  Also, I am using the mountain lion operating system.  Thanks again! 

    Don't know whether it will make any difference, but a new version of Adobe Reader has just been released:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/73/adobe-reader  (version 11.0.03).

  • Running Safari 6.0.3  When trying to print files using Adobe Reader 11.0.02, print preview screen is all black.  If files are attached to an email, receiver can't open it.  It does work OK in Firefox 19.0.2  Any ideas?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    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 quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    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.

  • Adobe Reader X stuck on "print to file"

    I have a problem with Adobe Reader 10.1.0 not saving my print settings after I close it.  I am running Windows Vista and trying to print to a RICOH printer/scanner/copier machine.  I checked "Print to file" by accident once and tried to print, and now every time I open Adobe Reader and try to print something, I have to uncheck "Print to file."  It is also stuck on "Print as image."  I have tried restoring the default settings on the printer, changing the default printer, and repairing the installation.  Checking and unchecking "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" doesn't make a difference.
    Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there a way to change the default so that "print to file" and "print as image" remain unchecked?  Thanks!

    I just fixed this issue. Running Adobe Reader X on Win7 x64 Enterprise.
    Locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\PrefsDialog and modify the key "aLastPrefsPanel" to say "Display". I found on the troubled PC it was set to "Startup"
    In your cases running 10.1 the registry path may be "10.1" rather than "10.0"
    That should do the trick.

  • Adobe Reader X won't print all pages supposed to; Why Not?

    Adobe Reader X won't print all pages supposed to; Why Not?

    Similar situation here.  Have multiple users getting hung up after the progress bar for printing appears.
    If forced to quit, prints do eventually appear sometimes.  Here's my app event error:

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

  • Adobe Reader hangs on first print of the day

    When I try to print from Adobe Reader for the FIRST time every day, the PC hangs for 30 seconds. It'll then unfreeze and continue to print.
    All subsequent docuemtns that day print with no problems immediately.
    I have a small domain based network (SBS2003) and my workstation is Win7Pro.
    This problem started some time ago and a recent update to 10.1.7 hasn't resolved it.
    Any ideas?

    The drivers are up to date.
    I've just realised (doh!) that the printer isn't actually on the network, but has a direct USB connection to the w/station.
    The problem is only with Adobe reader, just the first print of the day from Adobe. If the first print of the day is from Word that prints OK, but if the second is from Adobe it still hangs (becasue it's the first rpint from Reader). At first I thought Reader was trawling across the internet for some reason, maybe checking in with Adobe.
    I'm baffled. I've tried uinstalling and reinstalling Reader as well!

  • I have a windows 7 system and use Adobe Reader XI, 11.0.05  All my excel spreadsheet files have conv

    I have a windows 7 system and use Adobe Reader XI, 11.0.05  All my excel spreadsheet files have converted to Adobe files and I cannot access my excel spreadsheets.  I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled the version all over, and I also downloaded a security patch, however, I am still having the same problem.  Does anyone know what is causing this to happen and what I might be able to do to fix this ?  Thank you

    I don't understand; did you really convert all your Excel docs to PDF (how?), or did you merely lose/change the file association?
    If the latter, that's really easy: http://windows.microsoft.com/is-is/windows7/change-the-program-that-opens-a-type-of-file

  • Adobe Reader cannot open URLLink.acsm because not a supported file type or is damaged

    tried to download ebook, kept getting message Adobe Reader cannot open URLLink.acsm because not a supported file type or is damaged.  Have downloaded Adobe Digital Editions, have an Adobe ID.  What is the problem?

    1. I assume you have some PDF documents you have been keeping a long time. Look at their modification date. Is it what you'd expect (years ago) or is it all the same, recent?
    2. Has a TXT file appeared in the same folder as the PDFs?

    Hi Janet,
    Adobe Reader is meant for reading pdf documents.
    What is the file type that you are trying to open.
    After downloading PSE 12 you need to install it to be abvle to use it.
    Does it show in the list of installed programs?
    If Yes then what error do you get when you try to launch the software.
    Also let me know which OS are you using.

  • I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages)

    I know the colour graphic shading in the document that causes the issue of larger file size, but it doesn't make sense that printing 1 additional page with same information as first 2 pages would cause this.
