Adobe Reader hangs on first print of the day

When I try to print from Adobe Reader for the FIRST time every day, the PC hangs for 30 seconds. It'll then unfreeze and continue to print.
All subsequent docuemtns that day print with no problems immediately.
I have a small domain based network (SBS2003) and my workstation is Win7Pro.
This problem started some time ago and a recent update to 10.1.7 hasn't resolved it.
Any ideas?

The drivers are up to date.
I've just realised (doh!) that the printer isn't actually on the network, but has a direct USB connection to the w/station.
The problem is only with Adobe reader, just the first print of the day from Adobe. If the first print of the day is from Word that prints OK, but if the second is from Adobe it still hangs (becasue it's the first rpint from Reader). At first I thought Reader was trawling across the internet for some reason, maybe checking in with Adobe.
I'm baffled. I've tried uinstalling and reinstalling Reader as well!

I believe fixes was made in Reader 10.1.5+ to address protected mode in Citrix.
Can you give that a try?
If you are using Citrix Provisioning Services or SCCM/SMS to deploy out versions, every version of Reader/Acrobat in the farm should be uniformally deployed. You can see the verison in the "Help" menu... "About..."
If you are using PDF through browser, you can still bring up the preferences via "Control K" when the PDF is viewed in browser context.

Adobe Reader 9.1 Cannot print - No pages were selected

When trying to print a PDF on a new Dell PC using Windows XP, sp3, I get a message in a window that says Document cannot be printed. Click ok and the next message is No pages were selected to print. The All button is selected and the message stays the same.

For your problem, I'm assuming other programs already print without problem. My only recommendation is backup your system, format, install only your OS and printer, and see if that hits it. Get a fresh copy of Adobe reader, maybe off a magazine CD - the downloads off internet are usually only download managers that install themselves on your system and then download the actual program. Stay away - possible errors can creep in. And maybe stay away from the Adobe Reader install package you have at the moment - mark it suspect. Download your printer software anew.
Basically start fresh. If it works then, I'm guessing a software conflict on your old system is the cause, or your install media you used for your old install was corrupt, only 2 of many possibilities.
But the key here is to make a "ghost" backup of your current system so you can go look for the problem afterwards. Of course, I don't even know if there is backup software like ghost out there for a mac.
Also, I think your mac probably has recovery CDs. Avoid those - get CDs of your OS only. Make sure you install only the OS and printer software - possibly even only the printer driver, not the printer software. The newest latest and greatest versions of all of them.
And easiest probably is to put in a different hard disk for this test - saves you from backing up.
My thoughts are that Adobe Reader should work on your system. It's a software configuration issue. So something you've installed is preventing things from working correctly. Especially since your other programs print to the same printer driver without hassle. But your first step is to get Adobe Reader to print again on a fresh start and prove it still can work, then add stuff until it stops working and blame the last thing you installed.
The actual error, as we've learnt, might be completely unrelated to "no pages were selected".
If you've done all that and still no joy, try a different printer with different software. Then try a different printer cable. Then you've got to move on to changing the machine so you can get away from the ports on your current system, but by this time we're at the point of giving up hope, I hope you don't have to go there. Maybe you could install a peripheral card in your system to add a new port, but that's also more of a hassle than it's worth.
Hope this helps.

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

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:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/73/adobe-reader (version 11.0.03).

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.

From: Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0 to Adobe Reader 10: Uninstall First?

Hello:
I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 installed on my PC now. I use it only to read PDF files and occasionally sign one.
It does not upgrade to later versions from within the program.
I'd rather use the Adobe Reader to view PDF files. I see Adobe Reader 10 is the latest version.
1) Is it necessary to first uninstall the Adobe Acrobat 6.0 before installing the Adobe Reader? Or can I simply install Adobe Reader
directly over it?
2) If I uninstall Adobe Acrobat first, would the PDF files I already have stored on my PC be readable with the new adobe Reader?
Thanks in advance:

Error 1327 Invalid Drive E
I have no E drive connected now at all.
Not sure why i cant uninstall Adobe Acrobat nor install Adobe Reader over it.
Any ideas waht that error message means?

Adobe Reader 9.1.0 printing to plotter printer

I am attempting to print to a plotter printer using 22"x34" paper. The printer is not printing the imbedded images in the document. However when I attempt to print this same document to a smaller sized paper, all images come out as depicted on the screen. I've tried printing to an image and this didn't work either as well as printing other documents to the plotter and they print fine. Does anyone have any ideas?

Turns out it was because we were using the free version of the adobe reader. We needed to use the adobe pro to get it to function, there was also an issue of printing in color and using the full document as opposed to printing the pages as individual documents.
either way it's solved thank you to all who have considered this.

Adobe Reader hangs after opening a PDF file for a minuet

Adobe Reader hangs after opening a PDF file for a minuet

Pat. Thanks for your promote reply. I have resolved the issue.
Closing the tools pane at the right side:
open Adobe Reader without opening a PDF file
collapse 'Tools' pane
then open some PDF
It shouldn't hang anymore

Adobe Reader X stuck on "print to file"

I have a problem with Adobe Reader 10.1.0 not saving my print settings after I close it. I am running Windows Vista and trying to print to a RICOH printer/scanner/copier machine. I checked "Print to file" by accident once and tried to print, and now every time I open Adobe Reader and try to print something, I have to uncheck "Print to file." It is also stuck on "Print as image." I have tried restoring the default settings on the printer, changing the default printer, and repairing the installation. Checking and unchecking "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" doesn't make a difference.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to change the default so that "print to file" and "print as image" remain unchecked? Thanks!

I just fixed this issue. Running Adobe Reader X on Win7 x64 Enterprise.
Locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\PrefsDialog and modify the key "aLastPrefsPanel" to say "Display". I found on the troubled PC it was set to "Startup"
In your cases running 10.1 the registry path may be "10.1" rather than "10.0"
That should do the trick.

Why don't the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.6 and Adobe Reader 9.5.4 patches update the version on the exe file

Why don't the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.6 and Adobe Reader 9.5.4 patches update the version on the exe file ? My vulnerability reports show these installations are not patched when they really are.

Hi All,
I also facing the same issue with Adobe reader 9.5.4 version update.
Previous Version installed: 9.5.3
AcroRd32.exe - File Version 9.5.3.305
AcroRd32.dll - File version 9.5.3.305
After update installation to 9.5.4, add or remove program shows latest version but exe and dll is not updated. Vulnerability assessment tools based on file version check identifies patch is still missing. Becomes a HEAD ACHE.
Adobe Reader 9 > Help > About Adobe Reader 9 - First shows version 9.5.4, if your click on it instead of showing AGM version next it shows version 9.5.3.305.
I tested for all previous versions of 9x, works fine in each update. Seems like patch is missing codes for updating file versions.
Waiting for an acknowledgement.

Adobe Reader X won't print all pages supposed to; Why Not?

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)

When I print from adobe reader 11 it often prints a page of characters not words. Why is this?

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