Adobe Reader 8 printing issue

I have a contract I emailed to a client, who signed it and scanned it and returned it to me via email, as a .pdf attachement.
I am able to view the document online fine, however, when I print the document everything prints, except his signature!

Sounds like you need to select document and markups in the print menu.

Adobe Reader Printing Issue

Help! I can't get Adobe to print. It use to but now I get "document failed to print" and when I push "ok" then I get "no pages selected". I've uninstalled Adobe reader and reinstalled, I've updated my printer driver, I've tried to check "image only" I've looked and looked for a solution. Nothing. I can print word and excel. Please help

If you are on Windows and use Reader XI, see if my solution in https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1677385 works for you.

Adobe Reader printing issues

I am trying to print a PDF page that was emailed to me and I receive a error message

Since there are literally as many different error messages as there are lines of code in Windows and every piece of software ever created, I'll have to be more blunt.
Just what exactly is the exact complete wording of the error message you see?
Hint: "An error message" is NOT a correct answer to my question.
If anyone here is going to be able to help you, you will need to state the exact ording of the error message, what specific step in the printing process you are at when it occurs, what Operating System you are using, what make and model of printer you are using, and what version (number) of Adobe Reader you are using.

Adobe Reader Print Issue

Every time I print the file converts to word. New happening, can not figure out how to turn off?

What is your operating system? Reader version?
Please describe your issue in details; I've never heard of such an issue. The only way I know to convert a PDF to Word is using Acrobat or the ExportPDF service.

Adobe Reader - Print Dialoge box is usable

Yesterday I was running Reader ver. 10.1.3 on a Windows 2008 x64 Terminal Server. All users Adobe Reader print dialoge boxes now open up very very large. Any visible font is perhpas 10" tall (see screenshots below). Drop down pick lists don't display text, and neither does any of the buttons (see screenshots below). As long as you just want a standard print, you can press enter to activate the defaulted print button. You can press the ESC key to exit the print dialoge form. Printing is all being done to Networked printers and I get the same screen no matter what printer is set to be the default printer.
Sometimes (rarely) the print dialoge box will display normal size, and it will display the page your going to print, but as per above, there is no text on the buttons or drop down boxes. The sample screenshot below took up my entire 1920x1080 screen and is just a small portion of the dialoge box size. I have to scroll around three screen lengths to get to the other side of the dialoge box. There is no verticle scroll bars, so I can't scroll down to the bootom of the dialoge box. Nor are there any window resize options (see last screenshot below)
Here is a closeup shot of the top LH side of the Dialoge box:
Below is a screenshot of the top RH corner (I had to scroll three window lengths to get to it):
The Word and Excel etc. Print Dialoge boxes are all working ok. I have tested different default printers with the Reader Print Dialoge box window and get the same looking screen.
The first thing I tried was to just reboot the Terminal Server (TS). I was supprised to find that I had the same problem. I tried upgrading to 10.1.4 and rebooted the TS. I still have the same problem. I see that someone else has sort of had a similar issue to mine: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4559861 But don't really see a response on how or if it was resolved.
Anyone have an idea of whats going wrong and how to fix this?
Thanks.

As mentioned above, every now and then people will see a normal sized dialoge box. Here are two examples:

Adobe Reader Printing Problem

I have a PC with Windows XP SP3. When I try to print a PDF document, I get the following message: "The document could not be printed. There were no pages selected to print." Of course, I had selected the pages to print.
Recently, I had many problems with Adobe Reader 10, so I removed it and reloaded Adobe 9. Today, when this printing problem appeared, I did a restore on my computer, taking it back a few months. I still have the printing problem.
Any idea what's wrong? Any idea how to fix it?

I have Acrobat Pro 9, but the feature I am using is listed under my
printers.
If I go to Print, then in the drop-down list of printers, I have PDF -
which essentially creates a new PDF document. I don't really understand
why it worked, but it did. The Print - PDF is also available to Word,
Publisher, etc.
Hope tis works.

Print all linked documents (was Re: Adobe Reader X Issues)

Hi Jeff
Is there any way to print pdf via print all linked document option from internet exploer?
Thanks ahead for your help .

Are you trying to print to a pdf file with Adobe Reader? Are you viewing a pdf file in Internet Explorer using the Reader plug-in and trying to print to a physical printer?
In either case the answer is no.

Adobe reader: printing booklet, double-sided alignment issue

I am printing a booklet (designed in indesign). I have tried printing from Indesign, but there isn't an option to print on both sides.
So I made it into a pdf and tried from Adobe Reader (using booklet printing). Now I have the option to print on both sides, but when they come out, the alignment is wrong (the pages don't line up to the one printed on the opposite side.
I would appreciate any ideas!

I used a Word document that was 3 pages long and printed it from MS Word 2010 and it printed incorrectly (page 1 on sheet 1 side 1, page 2 on sheet 2 side 1, page 3 on sheet 2 side 2). Then I saved it in PDF and printed from Adobe Reader and it printed correctly. But I noticed that Word printed it in reverse order whereas Adobe printed in normal order starting from Page 1. So I looked in Options/Advanced/Printing in Word 2010 and there was a box for Print pages in reverse Order that was ticked. So I un-ticked this Print pages in reverse order and re-printed from Word and lo and behold it printed it correctly! It looks to me as if Word has a 'bug' (sorry MS undesired feature) that when printing in reverse order sometimes gets the pages incorrect. It is useful when printing long documents to print them in reverse order as they are in the correct order with page 1 on top. But eh oh I will leave this off and see whether the problem disappears. But many thanks for your interaction and getting me to investigate. 'Praise the Lord' for forums.

Adobe Reader Printing first page miniature - rest fine

Hi,
Currently running Reader 11.0.07 and am having a printing issue similar to the below known issue in Reader X.
"Xerox printers shrink page content to 1/10 or 1/20 of the original size, and print the content in the upper left part of the paper. This behavior occurs when both of these options are selected in the Print dialog box: Choose Paper Source By PDF Page Size and Use Custom Paper Size When Needed. [2392553]"
Is there any timeline for the issue to be resolved?
Cheers

Hi,
Additionally the driver being used is a KM C360 PS 3.6.0.0 and the Postscript pass through mode is enabled.
When testing and disabling the pass through mode of the driver being used (XC, FX, Lemark ....) the first page (also including mixed paper size) is rendered correctly for the entire document output.
Looking at the PS generated output for the KM driver in pass through mode has a difference between the prescript for the first page and any others following:
Example - First page A4 size generates the following.
%%BeginPageSetup
/ovlsetup [ 72 600 V 0 0 -72 600 V 12 830 ] def
/tabsetup [ 72 600 V 0 0 -72 600 V 0 841 ] def

Whereas the next page and subsequence pages follows:

Note that the concat override is not specified (including matrix).
Removing this line "[1 0 0 -1 0 842 ]ct" allows the document to correctly render in the correct orientation but the scale and transform are not specified corectly.
Page 2 shows that an additional difference is made by Reader in pass through mode:
8.33333 8.33333 scale
-12 -12 translate
If replacing the first page prescript (above) with the following PS code the job correctly (Page 1):
%%BeginPageSetup
/ovlsetup [ 72 600 V 0 0 -72 600 V 12 830 ] def
/tabsetup [ 72 600 V 0 0 -72 600 V 0 841 ] def

%%EndPageSetup
Note that the issue is only generated by the printing through a driver in pass through mode. Setting print as image is not an option as the produced spool file is to large.
Additionally, the paper size cannot be resized and must have the (above) option set during printing - any other permutations of the "Size" options during printing cause issues during printing (e.g. A3 -> A4 or mixed A4/3 -> A4).
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Oops, I forgot to NOTE: this only happens when I'm printing a pdf from online. If I'm printing from a saved file from my computer adobe reader works just fine. so it's something with the settings of adobe reader and my browser. I use chrome, always have and I'm just now experiencing issues these past couple of weeks. I'm sure it's just a simple little box to check or uncheck or something, so I'm hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Adobe Reader X Issues

A user's computer with Adobe Reader X isntalled (when viewing a PDF file) gets blocked at the top and on the left side. It appears that there are multiple toolbars at the top that are now just blank and a side bar on the left that stretches from the left side into the center of the document. The menu bar is also blank, the File, Edit, Options, do not show. I can tell something that appears to be tool bars are blocking the entire view, because if I zoom out far enough, the document will becom small enough to fit in the small viewable screen. The same view, carries over to the print preview window. If the user prints the document, it prints fine. Besides this, the computer and other programs works fine. I've un-installed Adobe Reader, re-downloaded and re-installed it, downloaded and installed the latest video driver, still having this issue. Computer is a Dell Otptiplex with Windows 7 Professional (32 Bits), 4 MB of RAM, and is updated with all Windows Updates. This user has been dealing with this for soo long, he does not remember when or how it started. The user is part of a domain that has a corporate antivirus and malware protection which I'd like to think would detect any virus if he caught any.
I'd really appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
Thanks,
Vong

Cyberdawg,
Try to turn off anything that enhances speeds his video through the video driver. That is most likely the problem..

Adobe Reader printer output not printing with printer

Hi all,
I've downloaded the current Adobe Reader 9.3 and have not been able to print. It sends the file to my print spooler where I check on it and see that the job is tagged with an error. I've just got the 10.6.3 but this also occurred under 10.6.2 Mac OS. I posted a bug alert to Adobe. My printer is a Canon. I sometimes choose to use Adobe Reader in leu of Preview when filling out a form. Personal choice at this point, but in the past, only Adobe preserved the correct font and all of the form.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.
Not sure if this is a printer driver issue or a output error. But the printer works with everything else.
Linc

I have a similar problem that my mac mini running 10.6.3 with Adobe Reader 9.3.2. I print using a shared printer HP F2280 from iMac running 10.5.8 wireless airport.
When I print PDF from my mac mini, the share printer can only print a few lines and that stop. There is no error in the printer queue. It say accept print file.
I'm using preview to print PDF right now before solution come out.

Adobe Reader prints incorrectly, OSX Preview prints correctly?!

I was wondering if anyone could help us out with some insights into a problem which occurred recently when printing some large, combined PDFs, some of which ran to several hundreds of pages in length.
The PDFs were combined from three main sources:
PDFs we’d produced ourselves from InDesign 5.5 to “Pass4Press” / PDF 1.4 specifications.
PDFs saved from Microsoft Word 2010 using the “Save as PDF” command.
PDFs supplied by the client - I suspect these were produced either from Microsoft Word or via the “Save as PDF” command on a printer/scanner.
We used an up-to-date postscript driver and printed to something like a Canon 7100 printer using Adobe/Acrobat Reader. The stuff we printed from InDesign was fine (as I expected it to be, this is the spec I send my PDFs to commercial printers with and I’ve never had a problem with it). Sometimes the text from the Word-generated ones would print as a series of boxes and other times the same file would print correctly with no problems (the font used was either Arial or Arial Narrow), whilst the ones from the client would always print incorrectly in places as a series of symbols. I don’t know what font they used (or how it was embedded) but it looked like Arial and the files came from France (we were printing in England) so maybe their font glyphs are different?
Opening up a couple of the files in Illustrator revealed no problems with the font. We could print from Adobe Reader using a slower, rasterized driver (which was sooooooo slow we would have missed the deadline) but the funny thing was if we opened the same files using Mac OSX 10.6’s “Preview” programme and printed via the wickedly-fast postscript driver, everything came out perfectly!
I know that I haven’t provided much in the way of specific, detailed information but would anyone have a general idea of what was going on? I suspect that it was something to do with the fonts not being embedded properly and Preview being more tolerant of this issue than Reader? That said, Adobe Reader is meant to be the blue-ribband application for PDF viewing and printing so presumably it should be more versatile than a scaled-down imitation product which comes free with every Mac? Would anyone be able to suggest a way of heading this off at the pass in the future? Please bear in mind that some of the files were supplied to us by our client, an engineering firm who would see supplying correctly-formatted PDFs as a non-issue, they just hand over whatever comes out of the machine, so ensuring that the PDFs have been encoded correctly at source is not really an option that’s open to us in this case.
As always, thanks in advance for any and all advice offered.

Just as a further note to this, something along similar lines has just happened.
A work collegue printed the PDF located at:
http://marketforce.eu.com/Conferences/nuclearnewbuild12/Brochure/
The text printed largely as a series of "y"s and full stops (periods). I printed the same file to a different machine (same make and model) from both Preview on the Mac and Reader 8 on a Windows XP PC and the result was perfect both times!
Would anyone have any general tips on how to troubleshoot PDFs so we can spot in advance if things like this might happen and also can anyone shed any light on if these kind of problems can sometimes be caused by a printer and/or its driver rather than the PDF itself? I looked at the Preflight options in Acrobat for the first time ever this morning and the range of options contained within seemed a little overwhelming for a newcomer.
Cheers,

Why won't adobe reader print a .pdf?

I have worked on this Mac at my job for 3 years. Much of my job is online research, and I frequently print .pdf documents, or "Open .pdf In Preview" and select pages to print.
About 2 weeks ago I found that .pdfs would no longer print or Open In Preview. I can still Select the content and copy it to a Word doc and repair the formatting for printing.
But I would really like to just print the .pdf.
How to find out what's wrong? How to fix it?
I have already re-installed Adobe Reader and downloaded the latest version.
Thank you for any help.
Shayne

Hi Shayne Laughter,
Adobe Reader is for reliably viewing, printing, and annotating PDF documents. It’s the only PDF file viewer that can open and interact with all types of PDF content, including forms and multimedia, hence we cannot print documents to PDF using this.
Also, Preview is a default application in Mac used to view and edit images and PDFs. If you are not able to print documents to PDF then the issue is with Preview and I would suggest you to check with Apple.
