Adobe Reader 9 crashing PC when printing - BSOD

When I try to print from Adobe Reader 9 (version 9.1.3), it crashes my PC - the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!
My PC: Dell Optiplex 755 with very fast Intel 2 Duo Core chip, 2GB of RAM (of which 1.4GB is usually free), WinXPPro SP3 with all updates, good anti-virus and anti-spyware -- a very good, fast, clean machine.
My Printer: HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless, new six months ago and generally very good.
So I have UNinstalled Adobe Reader 9 and gone back to Adobe Reader 8. Printed from it once this morning and saw no problem.
Any thoughts?

480 what RAM? Megabytes, Gigabytes? How about free hard drive space? Have you checked your computer for a virus? They can cause all sorts of issues. Assuming you are virus free can you turn off your virus checker and see if that has any effect?

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.

Adobe Reader font size when printing

I am having an issue with an employee and printing from Adobe Reader. The user is using Windows 7 Ultimate on version 11.0.07 of Adobe. She uses a program called certified mail where she prints addresses on to certified mail forms. The font is extremely small. She uses an HP Laserjet 1536 printer. I have contacted HP and they showed me the Preferences>Commenting section to change the font in Adobe from size 10 to 14 but this still didn't help her problem. This employee can print to a different network printer and it prints the fonts larger, the way they want them to be. This seems to be to her local 1536 printer, which is attached via USB cable.
My question is, how do I change the size of the font to make it more legible? When she prints these forms, it pops up in Adobe to print preview. The preview fonts are very small. I was told to change the resolution on the printer, but that will only show the preview as larger and not the actual print.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Adobe Reader crashes when printing

Dear sir,
Our CEO has an issue with Adobe Reader crashing when he tries to print. His Operating System is Windows Vista x64.
This issue does not happen always, but still enough to be inconvenient.

Thank you in advance.

sorry will not be able to attach the pdf file - The file isn't damaged as it will print from other printers as they all use the same print drivers as they print through a print server.
I have also attached to the printer off-line and used new printer drivers from HP and it still fails 20 page pdf and stops at page 9 saying cannot extract correct font.
the file was created in Quark express ver 8.
It is happening to a handfull of people

Adobe reader crashes when I print a pdf

When I try and print a PDF document, Adobe Reader crashes. The rainbow pinwheel of death comes up. The Force Quit dialogue box says that Adobe reader is not responsive. What do I do?

Thanks. Lots of us on Macs never install Adobe stuff. With Preview you can do a lot of things (like instant alpha, and dragging pages from one pdf to another). Are you also aware that in the Print menu there is a direct Print to PDF option?
Have fun.

Hi,
I would suggest you to uninstall Adobe Reader using the cleaner tool and then re-install the latest version.
Adobe Cleaner Tool:- Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs.

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?

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 crashes when 2 fillable PDF's are open

We are having trouble with Adobe reader on all levels. versions 9 10 and 11 are having this problem. When we have 2 fillable PDF's open and we Tab in one or copy and paste from one to another the program crashes with no warnings. It will close both files down like we had pressed the Close buttons. Acrord32.exe crashes each time is what i have noticed. I have not messed with Registry yet because I didn't think it would be needed at this moment since it is multiple computers. This is what I have done to try and fix this error and other pertinent information:
-Changed 3D settings
-Changed Security Settings
-upgraded from 9 to 10, 9 to 11, 11 to 10, 11 to 9, and it has been set back to 11 now
-uninstalled, reinstalled
-Broke some files and repaired the program
-tested on multiple computers with same results
-All systems are XP. on 7 it seems to be stable
-tested multiple forms with same results
If you need more information please let me know. Thank you for any help you can give me.
Thanks again,

I have adobe reader 11.0.09 installed on Windows 2008 R2 configured as Terminal server with Citrix XenApp 6.5 installed. The Server is hosting on average 14 - 15 simultaneous sessions. Adobe reader is installed on the server. The server is provisioned via Citrix Provisioning server 6.x
The problem:
The User with regular credentials opens two PDF files with writable fields at the same time. The user accesses the environment via remote access with Citrix receiver installed on his / her local desktop. The user fills up the text field on the first form and copies the text from the fields of first form to the appropriate fields of the second form. After few minutes adobe reader crashes.
After I was investigating the issue, I found that at certain point the application crashes and throws a record into the ProcMon list
More details from ProcMon
After the crash of the application, the highlighted section in the snapshot above disappears and the application at this time is dead.
This issue happens only when the PDF forms are opened with Adobe reader on Windows 2008R2. I have tested Adobe Reader 11.0.7 and 11.0.8 all of them are crashing the same way.
Help is more than welcome.
Thank You

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

Adobe Reader Crashes when adding Signature or initials-Update

Tried both Reader X and XI. Using Windows 8. Was working previously, just started for no reason. No problem on other computer with Windows 7.
Update: Problem solved - did the Windows update from 8 to 8.1 and Adobe Reader works perfect. Not sure if this may help someone else.

Updated Adobe AIR and now Adobe reader crashes when trying to open PDFs created by Livescribe

Adobe AIR auto-updated earlier this afternoon, and now every time I try to open a PDF created by Livescribe, Adobe Reader crashes.
Adobe Reader XI ver. 11.0.0.379
Adobe AIR ver. 3.5.0.1060
Windows 7 Pro, SP1
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling both AIR and Reader, to no avail. I can provide install log for AIR if needed (just need to know how to upload it, or if you'd rather me paste the text).
Thanks for any help,
-Rick

Hi Rick,
I'm surprised that the AIR update would cause Reader to crash. I received an update to Reader recently (yesterday I think), could this have also occurred on your system? Regardless, we should be able to drop back to an earlier version of AIR to try it out. Just uninstall and then grab AIR 3.4 located here:
http://download.macromedia.com/air/win/download/3.4/AdobeAIRInstaller.exe
Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Chris

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.

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:

Adobe Reader crashes on importing form XML data larger than 500KB

I'm trying to import XML data into a PDF form using Adobe Reader. When the file size of the XML is smaller than 500 kilobytes, the PDF form loads the data fine. However, any larger than this leads to Adobe Reader crashing without a warning or error message.
I've tried this with Aodbe Reader versions 7.0.5, v9 and even the latest Adobe Reader X: same result. So the latest version does not have any patches for this issue so far.
To be more specific, the form is an IPC-1752-2 v1.0 Material Composition Declaration form. The XML data is generated by a software. Some of the XML files worked fine but others caused Reader to crash. Experimenting with a repeating data node, I tried different file sizes and came to the conclusion that Reader crashes past around 500KB.
Any patches or quick workarounds will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Firstly I woudl not use the submit by email button (it is too restrictive). You could create or build an email submit button. Just drop a regular button on the form (change the caption to something more meaningful). Now make it a submit button. A submit tab becaomes active. Click on that. In the Submit to URL field enter in the command:
mailto:[email protected], youremail [email protected]?subject="This is a subject"&cc="ccaddress if req"&body="This is the body if required"
You can control all parts of the message this way. Do a google search for mailto to see all of the different options.
Now you need to set what you are going to send. In the Submit As dropdown, choose PDF. Now a PDF will be sent. To be able to allow all users to send PDF you will have to Reader Extend the form. You can do this in Acrobat. Once all of this is done, open the form in Acrobat and under the Advanced menu choose Extend Features in Adobe Reader. Now follow the wizard and save your form. Distribute the saved form.
