Adobe Reader PDF Batch Print

Question:
Is it possible to build a batch printer using the SDK and libraries
available with Adobe Reader?
Environment:
Win XP and Win 7
Client machine install
Adobe Reader - required version can be installed
VB6 or C# .NET
Experience To Date:
The ActiveX control works fine for loading/displaying a PDF, and
a single file with any number of pages can easily be printed via
automation.  The print process does not cause the application
to pause until the printAllFit method completes.  The LoadFile
method on the next file returns True even if the current file is
still being printed and, therefore, the next file does not load.
General Comments:
Anybody else find it a bit odd that the SDK documentation is
not a single, down-loadable PDF file?

I do that in Perl
(but it is no problem to translate the code into VB or C++)

  • Problem printing from Adobe Reader .pdf with Brother printer from a Mac

    I have a macbook pro with Intel Core i7 and OS X Yosemite and Brother MFC-7360N printer connected by wifi. My problem is that I can print everything from all programs except from the Adobe Reader .pdf that do I print from my Preview files .. The error I get is "Error filter". Does anyone know where can originate the error and how to fix it?

    With another O.S. in another computer is OK.
    Thank you

  • How do I add adobe reader to my printer so I can print a pdf?

    How do I add adobe reader to my printer so I can print a pdf?

    Are you trying to print to a PDF from Adobe Reader?
    If so, you need Acrobat for that. Reader doesn't not install a PDF printer.

  • 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.

  • Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings in the Edit/Preferences?

    Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings
    in the Edit/Preference?
    Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
    MS Window 7
    File > Print > Print
    I got the error message:
    The document could not be printed
    I googled this error message and used the following
    solution that worked i.e. it then printed successfully.
    Edit >  Preferences
    Category: Security(Enhancement)   'Enable Protected  Mode at Startup'
    It was checked, changed it to unchecked.
    Category: Documents    'View documents in PDF/Mode'
    It was set to 'Only for PDF/A'
    Set it to 'Never'
    Exited Adobe Reader and restart it. Then it printed.
    I had a look on another computer system (Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
    and MS Window 7) and on this different computer I could print
    without doing the above two changes.
    I'm a bit puzzled. Why preferences on one system were not
    needed on a different system?

    Here is an elaborate method of troubleshooting this problem. There may be a simpler method if anybody wants to suggest one.
    There is a general technique that is helpful in this situation. I can't give you complete instructions here, and I haven't tested this with regard to bluetooth devices, but here's the gist of it.
    Create a second log-on account for your music projects. Configure it so that when you log in to the new music account, the drivers needed for the Bluetooth devices don't load. You do this in System Preferences: Accounts.
    When it's time to do music, log out of your usual account and onto the new one.
    When you install drivers for any peripheral, you have the option of installing them "for all users" or only for the user account that is active during the installation.
    This governs whether the drivers go in root/library or root/Users/your name/library.
    If drivers are in root/library, they will load whenever the Mac is booted up and will run for all users.
    But if drivers are loaded in root/Users/your name/library, they will only load if you log in as "your name". If you have a second account called root/Users/music account/, and you log in under that, the drivers in "your name" will not load. Get it?
    To get this working right you need to be knowledgeable about moving or deleting files in the /library/ directory and subdirectories, and you need to be careful because you can unwittingly cause some damage if you are not careful.
    There is also the root/System/library directory, and in general you should never mess around with anything in there or you might hose your system.
    In summary, I would start by using the installer programs for your BlueTooth devices and DE-installing all drivers. Reboot. Log back in as your usual user account. Then RE-install each driver and see if the installer program gives you the OPTION to installl for all users or just for this user. Choose the latter. Then log on to your new Music account and see if the problems go away.

  • Opening Adobe Reader PDF

    Four months ago I wrote that when I tried to open Adobe Reader PDF for any reason, Photoshop Elements 4 took over and Adobe Reader was opened in PE4.
    I was given advice toopen and check in a word document my file association and to "tell" the system to open in Adobe PDF format.  I did that but whenever I open Adobe PDF for any reason (the last occasion was to download my travel insurance from Insure and Go), PE4 opens and Adobe PDF has to be printed from inside that programme.  Nothing has changed.
    I want Adobe Reader PDF to open in its own format, and I want to stop Adobe Reader PDF being opened inside the PE4 programme.  How do I do it?
    I do not want to get rid of PE4 as I use it extensively for photography.  But I want it to stay with photos and stop opening for documents like my travel insurance.  Thank you.  Rod Colyer

  • Installed Adobe Reader X Cannot print. All Fixes futile!

    Have OS Windows XP Installed Adobe Reader X and cannot print. Documents open properly and can be manipulated according to their limitations except I cannot print. Printer is HP Officejet 4500 Wireless. Have converted back to hard connection for this process. Connection not an issue. Everything else except the pdfs will print normally. Printing a pdf elicits no response from the printer. Does not show in queue. Hard attached another older HP printer. It does respond by pulling blank paper thru machine. Have full warranty on HP printer and have been thru detailed process with them. Does not appear to be a printer issue. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Tried all the same fixes. Still does not work. Connected to old printer. 
    Printer responded, but did not print.

  • How do I modify an Adobe Reader pdf file?

    Hello,
    I am trying to fill out a work application that is an Adobe Reader pdf file.
    But I can not figure out how to select the fields and modify the pdf, so that I can save and print.
    Please help,
    Thanks!

    > A university course expected an assignment to be completed on a pdf template downloadable from online site, a specific word count was given or penalties apply
    Ok.
    > however when edited with student content, the word count did not change.
    What do you mean "edited". Edited how - just typing in form fields?
    Where do you get the word count?
    > Is this hypotheses correct? the student should purchase the pdf writer in order to complete fields correctly.
    Not possible to say at this stage. (The "writer" product by the way is
    called Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Professional, if it turns out you
    do need it..
    >I cannot find references anywhere about word count in the knowledge base or FAQ.
    From my point of view, this is because it isn't something Reader does.
    But clearly it does something - so... what does it do?

  • All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default, as I am workin

    I am using Adobe 8 Professional and working on Windows XP. I have been facing an issue lately with opening files in a dual-monitor environment. All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default. There are times when I work only in one monitor and when I open a PDF file and want to have a look at it, I have to connect another monitor to view that file, since this file is open in the secondary monitor. It is very disappointing with such instances happening with Adobe (a leading organization). Can you please help so that the Adobe Reader files open in the primary monitor by default?

    On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.

  • I can't affix my valid digital signature to adobe reader pdf document?

    I can't affix my valid digital signature to adobe reader pdf document. When the signature field is clicked, it is not showing my digital ID so that I can sign with it. Why it is not displaying my valid digital ID?

    What is your operating system?  What is your Reader version?  What means "can not"?
    Can you post a screenshot of such a message "to buy Adobe XI"?

  • Adobe Reader 10 & 11 Printer Issues

    Printing double sided and with staples doesn't work with adobe reader.
    I print 2 copies double sided with staples, without collationIt prints 2 copies, but staples pages 1 together, 2 together, 3 together. It won't stable pages 1,2,3 together as one document
    I print 2 copies double sided with staples with collationIt prints 2 copies in the right order, but it only uses 1 staple to staple all of the documents together.
    I can print double sided with staples on word and it comes out correct. So this issue is isolated with only Adobe Reader.
    One fix I see people doing, is reverting back to adobe reader 9. But adobe no longer has adobe reader 9 available for download.
    Did anyone find a fix to this? I see a lot of unanswered forum questions about this. I even called adobe about this issue, but they refused to answer the question.

    Hi Jonthegiant,
    Issue mentioned in steps 2 is know issue.

  • 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 does not print more than 5 pages Toshiba E-Studio 232 in Windows 7

    Adobe Reader does not print more than 5 pages Toshiba E-Studio 232 in Windows 7.
    I contacted Microsoft representatives said the problem is the Acrobat Reader once all other applications print without problems.
    Please help me!

    We have the same problem with our TOSHIBA e-STUDIO6540C. We've tried different versions of adobe reader, even acrobat and many times it will only print some pages of any given document. Did you find a solution? To me it sounds like a toshiba issue but just wondering.
