Adobe Reader 11.0.2 prints wrong chars

Sporadically but very often I get prints from various PDF documents that aren't printed correctly. Chars are shifted by one. A is a B, B is a C, etc. This seems to be a classic bug, since there is a quite recognizable pattern to be observed.
If I print documents in a fast sequence, this seems to be more probable than printing them one by one.
In all cases the screen view is correct. Somehow the WYSIWYG is not working.
Anyone has seen this before? What is the reason? What can I do to avoid it (workaround)? What is necessary to permanently solve (fix) it?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Pat (Patricia or Patrick?),
first of all, I will observe this from now on.
About your test:
There are special circumstances that produce the false behaviour. Just printing it once
does not show it. Either it is printing PDF documents in a fast sequence or closing the Reader while the document is still in progress to be printed.
I heard of the recommendation "Print as Image" to by-pass the text processing.
This is a work-around, but no solution. It points directly to the defective section
in the print processing. As you could see: The bug leads to print of the character incremented by one. Extra-weird that this cannot be found.
As you say, there is no explicit fix mentioned in the ReleaseNotes.
I'll be back in next week-end!
Kind Regards
Friedrich

Adobe reader sees an uninstalled printer, how to change?

Adobe reader 10.0 sees the wrong printer driver on my pc, it recognizes my brother MFC-7362n as an brother MFC-7340. When I try to print it doesnt show up in my queue so nothing happens after printing.
I reinstalled my printer and adobe reader both a couple of times already. I used the Brother cleaning tool to make sure everything was removed from older printers. But still the list of printers doesnt show the right printer. So, it shows the MFC-7340 and it should show the MFC-7362n, my os is windows Vista 32bit. What can I do about it?
Thanks,

Hi dieke%20billie,
I would suggest you to please uninstall Adobe Reader from your machine and then again install the latest patch of Reader XI i.e. 11.0.10
Refer the below mentioned link for downloading Reader along with choosing Windows Vista as your OS:
https://get.adobe.com/reader/
Hope it helps.

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:

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:
(System is XP 32bit, direct connect via USB printer)

When I print from adobe reader 11 it often prints a page of characters not words. Why is this?

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!

Printing a PDF in Adobe Reader v8 does not print watermark

In our office we have PDFs created with Adobe Acrobat Professional version 7 that have a lighten watermark which say "confidential". These PDF documents print fine with Adobe Reader 7.0.8. Our office has now converted to Adobe Reader 8.1.1. When you open the PDF in Adobe Reader v8.1.1 the watermark displays on the screen but when you print the document the document prints without the watermark.
I have checked the knowledge base and can't find this issue. The document has no trouble printing, it just doesn't display the watermark. I have tested Adobe Reader versions 8.0, 8.1.1 and the new version 8.1.2 all display the watermark when you open the Reader, but none of them print the watermark. I have gone back and verify and the watermark does print on Adobe Reader v7.0.8.
If anyone has a similar issue or solution please let me know.
Thanks,
Mary Mendoza

I have the same problem. The watermark does not print out even though I can see it in the print preview. Anybody...?

Problem printing from Adobe Reader .pdf with Brother printer from a Mac

I have a macbook pro with Intel Core i7 and OS X Yosemite and Brother MFC-7360N printer connected by wifi. My problem is that I can print everything from all programs except from the Adobe Reader .pdf that do I print from my Preview files .. The error I get is "Error filter". Does anyone know where can originate the error and how to fix it?

With another O.S. in another computer is OK.
Thank you

Adobe reader XI: doule sided print problem with network printer (windows 8 pro)

Hi, I'm facing a problem with my old printer, the xerox phaser 3160n. It was connected to my notebook through network connection, and everything works well with Adobe X /Win 7 OS (including the double side print, of course) last month, I have upgraded my NB to windows 8 with clean install
clean install my printer driver for windows 8 too, and Adobe reader XI was also downloaded through official website.
However, since I was about to use double sided print in Adobe reader XI (11.00.02) it couldn't obey the order, but just print one side as usual
I have checked the "option" of my printer, and it was correctly set to "double-sided print". I have tried word 2013 to open the same pdf, and choose the same "double-sided print" and it works perfectly.
Is this problem a bug? and would it be corrected in the next update version??
(I remeber I've saw a similar issue too, with network printer, but I couldn't find it)
Thanks!!!

Hi,
Meanwhile, after insatlling the latest driver for printer from the manufacture website, restart the spooler service as a test.
Start > Run > cmd and type "net stop spooler" after that "net start spooler" or start > run > service.msc and restart it over the GUI.
Run Printer Troubleshootor under Action Center\Troubleshooting\Programs\Printer, and check if it helps.
And yes, the manufacture should have more sence about the printer, it's recommended to contact them.

Issue with Adobe Reader XI Freezing when Printing/Opening Documents

I've been having problems with Adobe Reader XI freezing when I attempt to print documents. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. I've gone back to previous versions. I've disabled protected mode. I've run Adobe reader without background programs running. I've done a disk clean-up, and deleted temporary files. All to no avail. Is there anyone who can help me solve this problem.

There's no built-in function in Reader that does that, but it can be done using a script.
