Adobe Reader closes when print is clicked

Using Adobe Reader Version 10.1.2.45
When I open a PDF Document and either click on the Print icon or click file > Print Adobe just closes the program. I've uninstalled and reinstalled 2 times. All other apps on my PC recognize and print fine to my default printer.
I just can't figure this one out.
All help is greatly appreciated
Jerry

There is currently a known issue with Adobe Reader 10.1.2.
You can resolve the issue temporarily by using one of the workarounds in the forum post below:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/949886?tstart=0
Most people find that workaround 2 is the one that works the best but decreases Adobe Reader security slightly. So best to re-enable Protected Mode when you aren't printing.
Adobe plans to release a fix for this issue in the future.

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.

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

Document I was reading in Adobe reader closes when I restart app

Hi there,
There is is a bug in your iPad app. The scenario goes like this...
I open a document in Adobe reader and start reading
I press home to do something else
I double click home button and see that adobe reader still shows my open document and I select adobe reader to continue reading where I left off
Adobe reader starts up again, but the document closes !!! And I have to re-open it whereupon it opens up from where it closed.
Thanks,
Maz

Hi there,
I've attached a video of the error occurring. The occur occurs intermittently and I've been trying to video the error for the last day or so.
I managed to video it but the app was already minimised. I was in my mail app. At 9 seconds, I selected the Adobe app and you can see it start, and after a short instant, it closes the document I was reading by itself.
Due to the low level of light and my thinking that I wasn't going to capture this error, I didn't restart the document I was reading and that closed, but I opened another document. What I would have liked to have shown was that when I restart the original document, it continues from where it left off. I am on v 11.3.1 as you can see from the screen print.
Maybe, because the error doesn't show up all the time, it's based on some sort of time elapsing as it occurs at least every several hours and just once, then after several hours, it occurs again. Just something I noticed.
Thanks, Maz

Hi,
You have to remove the back hand file which was present in the Local Disk C >> Program Data >> Acrobat, if you remove this file. It will remove the SSH (Software System History) from the PC. Then you can efficiently reinstall the Adobe Acrobat XI

Adobe Reader Crashes when I attempt to print a PDF

Hi,
I am running 11.0.02 Adobe Reader on my Macbook Pro (10.6.8 Snow Leopard). Each time I download a pdf via Safari (5.1.8) and try to print, Adobe Reader locks up and crashes.
When we logged in on a guest account on my Mackbook Pro, the problem disappeared. Printing Worked.
Logged back in as me, then deleted a number of p.list files in my library preferences, even tried deleting and resintalling Adobe Reader. Still the same problem. Try to print a pdf document in Safari, Adobe Reader locks up and crashes. Save the same file to the desktop and open it directly in Adobe Reader, try to print, Adobe Reader locks up and crashes.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
David

Hello Pat,
You are absolutely the BEST.
I followed your two recommendations and now the program is working perfectly. Yes, my Reader XI was version 11.0.10 when I was having the problems.
I never would have figured out the solution to the problem without your help. I was very pleased with your follow through.
I really appreciate your help. THANK YOU! – THANK YOU!
Adobe is a great program – I have used it for years and this is the first time I have had any problem.
Kind regards,
Hartley

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

Adobe Reader does not print to HP 1320 (neither Leo nor Tiger)

As the topic says, we cannot print from Adobe Reader (also when the Safari plugin is used) to the HP 1320. Just the light flashes for some time, and then ... nothing.
The HP1320 is not connected via USB, but over a print server and parallel cable ("centronics").
The same problems appear for some G4 with Tiger and some G5 with Leo.
The same problems appear with different versions of Adobe Reader.
No problems with printing the same PDFs with Vorschau ("Preview"), or any other application, only with Adobe Reader.
I also tried lots of different settings in the Reader's printing dialogue window, without any result.
Strange?

We had the same problem with protected mode and the 1050C. Symptoms were when selecting ANSI E (or other sizes) in the print dialog, the preview remained at 8.5 x 11 and as mentioned in earlier posts, the job never spools. This was on a Win7 Pro 64 bit system.
At first I thought it was the driver as Microsoft lists the 1050C as incompatible with Windows 7 (32&64 bit) on their hardware compatibility site. Our print server is Server 2003 and I couldn't get the 64 bit driver installed on the server, so the way I installed the 64 bit driver (in this case) was to use the add printer wizard in control panel, choose add a local printer, create a standard tcp/ip port with the corresponding IP on the print server and then click the 'windows update' button to update the local driver database. I was then presented with both PCL and PS driver choices for the 1050C (chose HP DesignJet 1050C by HP). Whether this is actually the Vista 64 bit driver I don't know, but it's presented in the driver database on Win7 as a certified driver.
Anyhow, I was clued into the application possibly being the issue because I had two identical systems where I knew I had installed the printer in the same way on both systems. One person however, wasn't having the problem. On closer inspection, the user that was plotting successfully was using Acrobat Pro, not reader.
I then remembered having already encountered another problem with protected mode. We had a few people selecting several pdfs at once and then just right-clicking and printing them en masse without opening them. After upgrading to Acrobat X, they could no longer do that. Again, protected mode was the culprit. A whole bunch of acroread processess would stack up but only one of the docs or none of them would print. So remembering this earlier problem & resolution, I turned off protected mode and the issue with the 1050C was resolved. For now, I'm just turning off protected mode as needed on a case by case basis.

Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS.

I have read some of the other posts about Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS. I am running Snow Leopard on my IMac with Adobe reader 9.1.3 and have had no problems only when using Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3 for the Mac. There is, however, an extra step, if I recall (some window asking me to make a selection, which came up after I clicked on the "print and bill" button). But everything worked just fine.

Hi,
Thank you for the quick response. I've done that but the problem persists.
A bit about my computer it's Vista, but the folders are a little weird. Default install directory and common files folders are on a different drive. In addition appdata are also on a different drive. However this should not affect sinve I've already re-installed Adobe Reader multiple times and it used to work just fine.
But perhaps the problem is indeed path related. Anybody with more ideas to share?
Thank you in advance.
Update: When I reinstall Adobe Reader and open the file, the first time I try to install Japanese font it does not end with "registering product" but with something like "removing backup files" (see attachment). If I try to install Japanese font again and again, I will get the "registering product" at the final glimpse of the installation pop-up.

Adobe reader closes automatically while table entry is added by add button

Hi Team,
I am new in adobe form. I have developed an adobe interactive form using livecycle designer integrated with SAP. My form has a table and under that there is an add button. When the form is opened in adobe reader and add button is clicked, I have written a javascript code which appends a new entry in the table above. Everything is fine upto here.
Now when I keep on clicking the add button, new entries are created and table grows. But when the table populates the current page and grows to populate the next page, suddenly the adobe form closes. I think there is an inconsistancy happening as my configuration for the table or the subform wrapping the table and the add button is conflicting.
Could you guys give me some advise on this. I can provide screenshots or the adobe document on request.
Thanks,
Mainak

Hi,
I would say you are definitely coming up against memory restrictions. There are a couple of posts by John Brinkman that I would recommend.
First I would look at why the form is 6Mb and see if you can reduce this down. For example, select fonts that are already in Reader (like Myriad Pro) and then deselect Embed Fonts in the File > Form Properties > Save Options. Also do not embed images into the form. See:
http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2010/02/big_and_complex_forms.html.
http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2010/09/xdp-size-matters.html.
http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/11/linked_vs_embedded_template_im.html.
Next look at your script. You mention loops, so check is your script efficient. For example, use xfa.resolveNodes() once outside of the loop, instead of xfa.resolveNode() inside the loop. Make sure that variables are declared. See:
http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2011/10/script-performance-exercise.html.
http://assure.ly/kUP02y.
Also check for any script that you have in events that fire frequently, like layout:ready event and comment these out. See.
http://assure.ly/nB0Bvz.
The dataset seems very large at 2Mb. Does this include image data? It may be that the user is interacting with the form, while it is still trying to process the XML and the loops.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Reader closes when I use a command

I upgraded to 11 and could not open any files. Then I removed that and tried installing 10. Now I can open pdf's, but everytime I try to print or to open the preference command so I can check on protected mode, the software closes. I am trying to do my taxes and I need some of these forms, so this is a great inconvenience.

Hi r2power,
I haven't heard of this problem myself, but I would suggest uninstalling Reader 10 and then running the tool found here:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
This is an Adobe Labs tool that cleans out all Reader install data and so should hopefully provide you with a clean system to return. I would then recommend trying Reader 11 again. I would suggest rebooting between uninstalling, running the cleaner and reinstalling, just to ensure that no DLLs on the system are locked between operations (this shouldn't happen, but since you are clearly seeing unexpected behavior, it is worth taking a few extra precautions).
Question: When you say Reader 11 wouldn't open any files, do you mean loaded from your desktop or in your Browser (or both)? I'm also curious as to whether the PDFs don't open or Reader closes when you try to open one.
Thanks,
Matt
