Adobe Reader Cannot Print or Update

Has anyone been able to figure out how to get Adobe Reader to print in Leopard? I have a clean install of Leopard 10.5.8 and I ran the Adobe installer from the website. For some reason the installer installs 9.1.0, even though they are up to 9.1.3 now. I run the automatic update on Adobe and it says the installation failed because the program has been modified since I installed it originally. So the version I'm running is 9.1.1. I even tried manually installing the 9.1.2 update and it still fails. It says to try uninstalling and reinstalling. I cannot locate an uninstaller on the Adobe website, so I manually deleted the program and the Application support files and preferences files, and did a clean install again. Same problem. The worst part is that 9.1.1 cannot print files, presumably due to a bug that they hopefully fixed by 9.1.3. Whenever I try to print it just says the document could not be printed and then it says no pages were selected to be printed (whether I tell it to print all pages or select pages). Anyone find a solution to this problem. Big problem if Adobe Reader cannot print!

Unfortunately, Adobe does not see fit to provide any direct support for Reader. Another fine standard set for the world of customer service.
I did find something buried in the middle of a very long thread after trying the various other fixes listed there:

It looks like this is another example of sloppy coding and case-sensitive vs. case-insensitive file systems. I found out several weeks back that this is why I my CS wasn't working, either. While I could solve that problem with a case-insensitive disk image, this doesn't work for Reader9, which only allows installation on the startup disk. This is also the reason why I couldn't update past 9.1, as this thread details:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2086122#2086122
When I "fixed" those filenames, I was able to update to 9.1.3, but now I could no longer open the file I need for my grant submission.
Long story short, I used carbon copy cloner to clone onto a case-INsensetive external disk. I'm now booted off that, was able to install & upgrade reader to 9.1.3. I can now open my key file and I can print and even open the preferences within Reader.

  • Adobe Reader X: print to HP Plotter only on A4 Paperformat possible

    Hi,
    after installing Adobe Reader X  I cannot print any other paper format than A4 to my HP designjet Plotter 750c (E/A0).
    Changing Paper Format in printer driver has no effekt in the printing dialog of Adobe Reader X.
    Printing from Adobe Reader X to my other Printer Ricoh MPC2050 I can change between A5 to A3 without Problems.
    With the old version Adober Reader 9.xx this was no problem and I could print all paper formats HP750c Plotter supports.
    Adobe Reader X runs hier on a Windows XP system. Other software like autocad works well with HP750c Plotter with als supported paper formats.
    HP Plotter Designjet 750c driver for Windows XP has version 4.65 (latest german version on HP website)
    Has anybody any Ideas, where there ist the Problem?
    Thanks for your help

    I have just found this post and am still experiencing this problem, still, even after updating to 10.1, and still trying the disabling of Protected Mode at startup. I am running Windows 7, 32bit version. I am trying to print to an HP 4500 series plotter, on ARCH size D (24x36). Once I set all of my settings and hit print, I receive two dialogue boxes. One says "The document could not be printed." Once you click "OK", a second box pops up that says, "There were no pages selected to print." However, under "Print Range", I had "All" selected.
    All worked fine before updating to Acrobat X.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Issue with latest Adobe Reader 11.0.10 - Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due to incompatibility with your system configuration.

    Since updating to the most recent Adobe Reader v11.0.10, getting an Adobe Reader Protected Mode: Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due do an incompatibility with your system configuration.  Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected Mode disabled?

    The solution I was looking for was to launch Adobe Reader in Protected Mode.
    I could not identify issues preventing Protected Mode from starting.  What ended up working, was to do a complete uninstall, followed by a reinstall.  Now we can load Reader in Protected Mode.

  • Adobe reader cannot open protected mode

    I downloaded and installed Reader X,  and get the see the message adobe reader cannot open protected mode due to configuration errors.
    The link provides no information as to what the problem is.
    I have Windows XP SP3 (with all the updates) and using Avira AntiVir as the antivirus.
    How do I get to the protected mode?

    Hi,
    The problem does not seem to be with Avira Antivirus Personal Edition.
    Are there no unsupported configurations mentioned in the link
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86063.html#main_Unsupported_configurations
    on your system?
    Also please let me know the following details:
    1) Was ReaderX installed at the default path or the installer path changed manually?
    2) Are the PDF files you are trying to open kept on any local disk or any kind of network share?
    3) Please disable all the antispyware, antimalware and firewall installed in your system and then verify.
    4) Please tell the kind of user(admin/standard/guest ) who is trying to open PDF files.
    Thanks .

    Hi gurus!
    I have created smartform for pdf invoice via mail to user id. when that invoice send to user id . PDF file is getting a popup -" Adobe Reader - cannot extract the embedded font 'Ariel Bold . Some characters many not display or print correctly ".
    I want to remove this unwanted popup. please provide any possible solutions.
    regards,

    Hi ravindra, what i can suggest you is to set a breakpoint just before ur cursor goes into the pdf part and just comment the part when it comes to the popup. its very easy and the best way to do it.
    Cheers

  • "Adobe reader cannot show docs i n this configuration" message when trying to access certain docs

    How can I access all docs like I can using Safari instead of getting the perpetual message"Adobe Reader cannot show documents in this browser configuration."?

    Please update the firefox to the latest version, firefox uses inbuild pdf reader.
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Adobe reader cannot find font, file is saved as pdf, what to do?

  • Adobe Reader cannot play embedded Flash content

    I don't know why, the Flash format was originally created by Macromedia, and then Adobe acquired the company, but the Adobe Reader cannot display Flash content.
    My PDF file is here:
    http://genifer.googlecode.com/files/agi-book.pdf
    Scroll to page 37.
    The original SWF file is here:
    http://genifer.googlecode.com/files/unified-AND-OR.swf
    which *can* be played on my Chrome browser.
    But when I embedded the SWF file in the PDF, the result is unplayable.
    A clue is:  Adobe Reader asked me to download QuickTime to display media contents.  So I downloaded QuickTime.  But QuickTime nowadays has removed Flash support.  Why did Adobe Reader ask me to download QuickTime to display Flash, when Adobe owns the Flash format?
    I have also tried selecting other media players in the Reader's option box (eg, Windows Media, Windows built-in, Adobe Flash, etc) but none of them works.
    I have also tried using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.  Same result.
    It seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Adobe Reader most certainly CAN play embedded Flash content, but only if you embed it properly.
    You're seeing a Quicktime warning because you're embedding the SWF as "legacy media" content - this is no longer supported for authoring and is disabled by default for playback.You should use Rich Media Annotations instead (embedding using the multimedia/flash tool in Acrobat 9 or Acrobat X).

    We are trying to implement a process so that any document that needs to be printed through our Java application will be printed as PDF using Adobe Reader.

Current Situation: The above command line parameter when executed is working as expected in a User's Workspace. When executed in a command line on the Application Server is working as expected. But, the same is not working while executing it from Deployed environment.Software being used: 1. Adobe 11.0 enterprise version. 2. Webshpere Application Server 8.5.5.2.

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.03 update

    Simple nuisance really - I had Adobe Reader 11.0.03 update installed when I first received the notification.  It successfully installed, so I believe when I select the About menu item and it indicates such.
    Why then, every week since then, I get an update notification for Adobe Reader 11.0.03.  I installed it every time for the first couple weeks thinking it was a valid update and not paying attention to the release number.  The release number has been 11.0.03 for quite a while and I now realize something is not right.
    FWIW - Adobe Reader works fine on my machine.
    Thanks in advance for any insight.
    KR

    If you're using Windows, 11.0.5 is the latest version (11.0.4 was a software update and 11.0.5 was a security fix)
    You can download the FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    FIRST, you'll want to download and run the Adobe Cleaner to remove the old version.  http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

  • Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode

    I apologize if this is listed in the wrong category.
    Recently, all users on our server started receiving a message: "Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration. Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected mode disabled?" The users are presented with 3 options:
    Open with Protected Mode disabled
    Always open with Protected Mode disabled
    Do not open with Protected Mode disabled.
    All the users can click "Open with Protected Mode disabled" and the PDF opens fine. I know that I can disable Protected Mode but I would rather not have to disable a security feature.
    I have read this link: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/protected-mode-troubleshooting-reader.html and none of the provided solutions seem to apply to us. I have tried a rebooting the server and uninstalling/reinstalling Adobe. Neither of these options worked. There is not an antivirus currently running on this server. We are not using Smart Cards. I have checked the Security permissions and they seem to be fine. I can not think of any recent changes to this server, but it has run just fine for years now.
    OS is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
    Acrobat Version is 11.0.10
    Is anyone aware of anything else that could cause this message? Thanks

    Thanks for the reply.
    That option is not there on my version though. I am using version 11.0.10

  • Adobe reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration.

    I keep getting the error message: Adobe reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration.
    I have Windows 7 Home basic Service pack 1 and have already uninstalled and re-downloaded Adobe reader XI twice. I have also read other threads on this forum, and
    tried the suggestions, including running Kaspersky anti-rootkit, no threats were found.
    My Adobe reader shortcut icon shows a small blue and yellow shield in the bottom right (I uninstalled Windows essential protection), but the problem prevails.
    I would rather get to the root of the error and fix it and not just disable protection mode!
    Please help.

    Hi,
    Please refer to the solution in:- Error: “Acrobat Failed to Load core DLL”.
    Also, may want to try disabling all Non-Microsoft Startup Services.
