Adobe Reader 8 won't print attachments

I get the following notice "Doc could not be printed" and then "There were no pages selected to print"  I can print everything else except the pdf attachments.  Also when I send pdf pics from my Blackberry it saved them as bitmap... is this two different problems or the same source.

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)

  • Adobe Reader Won't Print (ver. 10 or 11)

    I have a well-maintained Windows 7 32 bit machine running in a VMWare Workstation virtual machine that prints to a network printer via TCP/IP.
    It has worked well for years, including printing PDF's from Adobe Reader 9.
    Some time ago I updated Reader to version 10.  Printing stopped working.  Eventually I uninstalled Reader 10, and re-installed Reader 9, and printing then worked normally.
    I decided to try to update to the latest Reader version 11 (downloaded today) and had the same results:  the installation completed without error, I can open and view documents fine, but printing does not work.
    When I attempt to print from Reader, I see the appropriate dialog boxes, and receive no error messages.  The print job just never makes it to the printer (or the Windows print quque).
    I uninstalled Reader 11, and re-installed Reader 9 once again...and again printing now works fine.
    I guess I will continue to use Reader 9...but I would like to get to the bottom of the printing problem so that I can eventually update Reader.
    FYI the printer in question is a Lexmark C544dn, and I am printing to it via ethernet.  I have alread removed the printer from WIndows, and re-installed with latest drivers (at least twice), with no change:  printing still does not work.
    Any suggestions on causes or possible resolutions?

    Thank you for providing the suggestion and the Cleanup tools, however they did not help.
    I ran each version of the cleanup tool, and for each I had it clean up Reader and Acrobat (i.e. 4 separate cleanup operations).  I then rebooted the machine, and installed Reader 11.0.3.
    Still had the same behavior:  Reader will not print.  I tried printing to a second printer (that is attached via USB)...and it did not work either.  I also tried printing to a Cute PDF Writer print driver...and that did not work either.  In each case, no print data made it to the Windows print queue (as demonstrated by watching the queue while printing.)  No error was raised, but no print data was transmitted.
    I then uninstalled Reader 11.0.3, rebooted, and re-installed Reader 9:  printing works fine now.
    There is definitely something in Reader 10 and Reader 11 that breaks printing in some environments.    (As you alluded to...I have seen a number of postings online about printing problems in Reader.)

  • Adobe Reader won't print in web browser when both Reader & Pro installed

    Several of our machines have Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 installed and they also had Reader 10.1.4 installed but when Reader got upgraded to version 11 now PDFs opened in web browsers will not print.   Seeing as it is fairly common for computers to have both Pro and Reader installed I do not understand why Adobe cannot account for their own products and conflicts.   I was hoping to avoid having to uninstall Reader 11 from the machines affected so I would appreciate if there is anything I can have the users do to remedy this?

    Gemini146...
    I've ran into many, many, many circumstances like these and if the uninstall from add/remove does not work, what I would recommend is for you to delete the directory c:\program files\adobe and c:\program files\common files\adobe
    Then try the installation of what ever version you want. The install should proceed.
    If not (which had always been rare for me) then the next step I would advise (since windows installer clean utility didn't work)... is to go into the registry
    (regedit) and click on Edit, find
    type in: adobe reader
    or        adobe
    and search the entire registry and delete each entry that it finds associated with Adobe Reader only
    Of course, you need to know how to differentiate between what's for Adobe Reader and what's for Adobe Acrobat (granted that you do have Acrobat installed)
    Is there risk involved with this method? Yes... but if you know your computer and know your way around the registry, you should be fine.
    Also, make a backup of your registry as well as create a Restore Point before doing all this. Just to be on the safe side.
    Then proceed with re-installing Adobe Reader and you should be ok.

  • Adobe Reader  won't print

    I have been trying to print an information download from Apple's help web site with Adobe Reader 9 which I downloaded after Adobe Reader 7.0.7 would not print and I assumed it to be out of date. When the download of the Mac manual or information piece is completed a screen appears which asks me to select the Adobe product to open the download. When I select Adobe Reader, the application's image is muted and cannot be highlighted. I get the same results for Reader 7 and 9.
    What could be wrong?

    There was a recent security based update for Adobe Reader
    and also their Flash player; not knowing what link you used
    to get a version of the Reader for your OS, you may not have
    gotten the most recent one. And you may have to look for a
    suitable updated link to get the latest installer version.
    The recent version I ended up having installed, is 9.3.1.
    By default, my system is set to look for Preview; but I
    do have some documents set to use Adobe Reader.
    The home page for Reader downloads:
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    One may dare venture to hope the main download page now
    has the corrected most recent update with security fix built-in.
    You may have to remove & re-install the most recent version.
    Not sure what the printing issue may be, though.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Adobe Reader 10 & 11 Printer Issues

    Printing double sided and with staples doesn't work with adobe reader.
    I print 2 copies double sided with staples, without collationIt prints 2 copies, but staples pages 1 together, 2 together, 3 together. It won't stable pages 1,2,3 together as one document
    I print 2 copies double sided with staples with collationIt prints 2 copies in the right order, but it only uses 1 staple to staple all of the documents together.
    I can print double sided with staples on word and it comes out correct. So this issue is isolated with only Adobe Reader.
    One fix I see people doing, is reverting back to adobe reader 9. But adobe no longer has adobe reader 9 available for download.
    Did anyone find a fix to this? I see a lot of unanswered forum questions about this. I even called adobe about this issue, but they refused to answer the question.

    Hi Jonthegiant,
    Issue mentioned in steps 2 is know issue.
    I would suggest you may send the other scenarios using this link: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en

  • Adobe Reader won't start automatically

    I've downloaded Adobe Reader to my Windows8 system,, but when I try to open a pdf file fom on-line it asks me which App I want to use, but Reader isn't listed as a choice.  When I clik look for other Apps on computer, I can't find Reader anywhere (not in programs, documents, etc).  It will not start automatically.  The only way I can't make it work is by Saving the pdf file, then going to my graphic start page and cliking the Adobe reader icon which has been there (and only there) since it was downloaded.  It's really time consuming and I have a lot of psf files I have to go back and delte from my downloads

    the App version self-loaded and it worked initially whenever I tried to open a pdf file, but this is a new touchscreen Acer and I'm used to having actual programs, not Apps and I don't quite understand it yet...Of course like everything else with Windows 8, most thing don't work the way they used to  after you do any updates.   I'd love to go back to Windows 7, or even XP.  I got this for Christmas and so far (according to it's own software program), it's shut down a total of 418 times, the majority of causes had to do with Explorer.

  • Adobe reader won't 'uninstall'

    I can't print pdfs or download pdfs on the web since downloading adobe reader 9.  The previous version (reader 8) failed to uninstall and I am unable to use 'remove programme' to remove either version of reader.   The error message reads,  patch cannot be found.
    Can anyone offer a solution?  I believe I need to uninstall all the adobe files and reinstall afresh but can't do it with add/remove programmes.

    Thank you Claudio,
    Your suggestion worked perfectly. I am very grateful.

  • Adobe PDF won't print non-working time colour in MS Project

    Adobe PDF won't print the colour chosen for non-working times in MS Project.  I have tried changing the colour, changing the style, moving non-working time in front of tasks and have fiddled with the printer properties, all to no avail.  It ignores whatever style I have for non-working time and makes a blank space, although it will take gridline changes . . . . please help!

  • Adobe Reader 9 pdf printing turns text into symbols

    I am trying to print a pdf file, when it starts printing all of the text turns into random symbols, I am trying to print a rebate and this is really frustrating. I saved the online pdf to my HardDrive, then I try to print it after opening with Adobe Reader 9. I have tried printing it as an image, and still the same occurs, my printer is fine, it prints word documents and notepad perfectly, I have all the latest updates, so I do not know why this is happening.

    I do realize that not all printers are affected. However, the problem is clearly with Adobe Reader 9. The reason I say this is that the problem does NOT exist with Adobe Reader 8. The problem ONLY occurs with Adobe Reader 9. Furthermore, I am not sure what specific resolution to this printer you are referring to, but there hasn't been a solution presented thus far that is an actual fix for the problem. Originally, I identified that if I selected "Print to Image" the entire multi-page PDF would print as expected. Although, this solution causes the multi-page PDF to print very slowly (for the reasons noted by Mike). Another reader reported that if you install FoxIT PDF Reader, multi-page PDFs print just fine. I have verified that installing FoxIT Reader DOES INDEED allow me to print multi-page PDFs to our FS-C5015N. Again, if it was purely a driver issue, why would a multi-page PDF opened with FoxIT Reader print as expected while the same PDF opened with Adobe Reader 9, not print as expected? There also were a couple other posts about using the generic Kyocera KX driver. This is not an option for us. Finally, there was a post about changing the Post Script driver setings. We do not use the Post Script driver. And just as a side note, we have tried using the Post Script driver to see if this will resolve the multi-page PDF issue, and it does not. With that said, I implore Adobe to once again acknowledge this problem and provide users with a fix. This is a very frustrating problem.

  • Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings in the Edit/Preferences?

    AdobeReaderDocumentCouldNotPrint.txt
    Glyn Price Tue 17 March 2015
    Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings
    in the Edit/Preference?
    Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
    MS Window 7
    File > Print > Print
    I got the error message:
    The document could not be printed
    I googled this error message and used the following
    solution that worked i.e. it then printed successfully.
    Edit >  Preferences
    Category: Security(Enhancement)   'Enable Protected  Mode at Startup'
    It was checked, changed it to unchecked.
    Category: Documents    'View documents in PDF/Mode'
    It was set to 'Only for PDF/A'
    Set it to 'Never'
    Exited Adobe Reader and restart it. Then it printed.
    I had a look on another computer system (Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
    and MS Window 7) and on this different computer I could print
    without doing the above two changes.
    I'm a bit puzzled. Why preferences on one system were not
    needed on a different system?

    Here is an elaborate method of troubleshooting this problem. There may be a simpler method if anybody wants to suggest one.
    There is a general technique that is helpful in this situation. I can't give you complete instructions here, and I haven't tested this with regard to bluetooth devices, but here's the gist of it.
    Create a second log-on account for your music projects. Configure it so that when you log in to the new music account, the drivers needed for the Bluetooth devices don't load. You do this in System Preferences: Accounts.
    When it's time to do music, log out of your usual account and onto the new one.
    When you install drivers for any peripheral, you have the option of installing them "for all users" or only for the user account that is active during the installation.
    This governs whether the drivers go in root/library or root/Users/your name/library.
    If drivers are in root/library, they will load whenever the Mac is booted up and will run for all users.
    But if drivers are loaded in root/Users/your name/library, they will only load if you log in as "your name". If you have a second account called root/Users/music account/, and you log in under that, the drivers in "your name" will not load. Get it?
    To get this working right you need to be knowledgeable about moving or deleting files in the /library/ directory and subdirectories, and you need to be careful because you can unwittingly cause some damage if you are not careful.
    There is also the root/System/library directory, and in general you should never mess around with anything in there or you might hose your system.
    In summary, I would start by using the installer programs for your BlueTooth devices and DE-installing all drivers. Reboot. Log back in as your usual user account. Then RE-install each driver and see if the installer program gives you the OPTION to installl for all users or just for this user. Choose the latter. Then log on to your new Music account and see if the problems go away.

  • Adobe Reader won't open

    just posted a long question (1st time on this forum) & been sent here after creating a username - do I really need to re-type everything all over again or can someone there see it?
    just in case.....
    Adobe Reader won't open - I eventually get a message saying there is no default mail client & telling me to run Outlook & set it as the default mail client (I'm not going to do that).  I then get a message saying that Adobe is not responding.  Uninstalled & re-installed & problem persists.

    Since you mention Outlook, I assume that you are on Windows.  Here are some things to try...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Adobe reader won't open on iPad after recent update

    After most recent update, adobe reader won't open on my iPad. I have lots of docs that I need to get to. Please help.

    This forum is probably the best you can do. We're now on the weekend, and Adobe engineers don't work 24/7. When they return on Monday and see the reports, they'll work to fix it. The update will need to be submitted to Apple and then approved for an update.
    Note that there are other apps on the App Store which can read PDFs.

    The reason is Adobe has not updated there software yet to play well with Mavericks. The fault is of course with the Adobe Software. I suggest you go to there web site and see if they have a fix yet for there software, If not all you can do is continue to check back with them or get on there fourms and see what others have to say about this same issue.

  • Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install.

    Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install? This happens only in Safari. I have tried changing my security preferences but it doesn't help.

    missyzz,
    which version of OS X is installed on your Mac, and which version of Adobe Reader do you have installed? Did you ensure that all of your browsers were not running when you’d installed Adobe Reader?
    To use Preview to open PDFs, download the PDFs to your Mac, and then use Preview to open the PDFs locally. Since you can open PDFs in Firefox, it sounds like you don’t need the Preview workaround.
