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

  • 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.
    The error message from the application log of Windows is shown below:

    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

  • Illustrator CS4 crashes when I attempt to print with Mountain Lion 10.8.2

    Illustrator CS4 crashes when I attempt to print with Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
    Two questions:
    1. Does any one else have this problem?
    2. My version of Illustrator is 14.0.0. Is there a later version?
    Jim

    2. My version of Illustrator is 14.0.0. Is there a later version?
    Nope, there were no update for Illustrator 14.
    however yes if I have got it right then the Kb link should help you.

  • Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Try quitting the PDF apps and Safari like I describe below. Then reset the iPad. After it starts try again.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • 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.

  • Adobe Illustrator crashes when I try to print

    I have a new MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch and the system crashes when I try to print a Adobe Illustrator document. I also have a 17" PowerBook and a MacPro
    Xeon workstation that does not have the same problem. All systems are running OSX 10.9.4.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • 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

  • Google Calendar will not print in Firefox 19.0 and adobe reader x when one presses the print button in the popup window.

    I have the monthly calendar on screen, click the more button, click print. Another window pops up and when I click the print button nothing happens. I am using Firefox 19.0 and Adobe Reader 10.1.6. The print function works in IE and Chrome.

    this solution did NOT work for me. I still cannot print a Google calendar page in Firefox. I can in IE. And I can print Gmail.

  • 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,

  • Acrobat print window crashed when try to a print the PDF opened through browser

    Hi,
    I have Acobat pro and reader installed on my machine.
    I have set the properties - Open pdf in browser. So, all the PDFs are opening in browser uses Acrobat not the reader.
    And this is way I want. It was woking fine on Windows XP.
    After Windows 7 upgrade, Print option on acrobat (pdf opened in browser), makes browser crashed. Printing window (pop up) appears but looks it is hanged. No OK, cancel buttons appears.
    If I uncheck the acrobat properties - Open pdf in browser, then it works fine. But my other applications which need acrobat in the browser start crashing.
    Is there any property/setting which is restricting print dialog box/ making browser not to respond?
    Please advise.

    Yes, I updated Acrobat through update option last week.
    Acrobat 9.5.2
    Windows 7 64 bit OS
    Adobe Reader XI
    Browser IE 10
    In print window couple of fields which get drop down automatically have blank values.
    Please let me know if you need more information. 
    Arcobat shows proper print window (pop up) if I uncheck the checkbox - Open pdf in browser. And then I open pdf in acrobat and try to print it.

  • Adobe reader crashes when opening, both local and from Firefox

    Running Windows XP, Firefox 3.6.    Adobe 9.3 crashes Firefox when I attempt to view a downloaded pdf.  When I start adobe reader from Windows "Start" it begins to start with Adobe ID screen, then stops with no other effect or error message.
    Reader 9.3 worked successfully for months.  Problem started after computer maintenance and cleaning up of excess files and services running in the background.  I have not experienced problems with any other programs.
    When the problem arose I uninstalled with Windows Add/Remove Program.  Rebooted then reinstalled 9.3.  Same problem.
    I used Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to clean up adobe.  Notice that many files and folders still exist in /Program Files/Adobe/Reader 9.0 , so I renamed folder to "OLD Reader 9.0"
    Reinstalled 9.3 ....still did not work.  Uninstalled, rebooted, then installed Reader 8.2.  Still not working.
    Somewhere in the process I also uninstalled Adobe Air and Acrobat.com.
    What would cause Adobe Reader to not fully start, and to crash Firefox when it does try to start as a plug-in?  How can I manually uninstall ALL of Adobe Reader?
    Thanks for any input,
    Mark

    Ok, I just went to start up Reader 8.0, it failed with no event on screen.  Event viewer gave me no report under Application.  Under System I found a slewof these...
    Thoughts??  Thank you,
