Adobe Reader Print Window not legible

Adobe Reader (free) works just fine until I want to print a document. For some years now, whenever I want to print the print window comes up looking like this:
It has occurred to me that my custom color scheme may have something to do with this (but note the "8.5 x 11 Inches" text that does appear) so I have tried changing the Window Theme to Windows Classic. Doing that results in the print window looking like this:
Notice the vertical scrollbar on the right ... scrolling shows more of the print window, which has the same attributes as what we see here.
When using my normal (custom) color scheme with my personal Theme, sometimes the print window comes up looking like the 1st picture, sometimes like the second. I have not discerned any pattern or reason why it shows one way one time and the other way another time.
When either version of the print window comes up, pressing the Enter key always prints the document correctly. Similarly, If, in the first picture, if I click the left-hand button of the pair at the lower right of the window it also prints. When it comes up looking like the second picture, I have never been to find the "Print" button and have to use the Enter key. Again, however I start the printing, the document prints as it should.
This has been going on since sometime back when I was using Windows XP (before Windows 7 came out) and has continued now that I am using Windows 7. I always keep the O/S up to date with both the Service Packs and the Windows Updates. Likewise I keep the Reader up to date and installed the latest update just before taking these screenshots. I have 27" HP 2711 monitor @ its native resolution of 1920x1080.
If anyone has any ideas on how to make the print window readable, I would appreciate it. This has been an annoyance for much too long.

I had the Segoe UI Light, UI Semibold, and UI Symbol fonts installed, and 6 other Segoe fonts available, but not installed. I installed Seguo UI (only) and brought up a PDF document and tried to print ... voilà! ...
It's perfect. The picture here is a little fuzzy here due to the size reduction, but in real life, it's just the way it should be.
Thank you very much!

Direct Print without Adobe Reader Print Window

Hello,
i hope someone can answer my question.
When i push the print button every time this print window (See attachement) open.
Is there any oportunity to print directly. So that i do not see the print window.
I hope someone knows an option.
I have Adobe Reader 11.0.3 with Windows 7.
Thanks for your support

Hi again
I developed a short Java Script.
First off all you create a new text document in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Javascripts and change the file extension from .txt to .js.
It only works when you see the file extensions. When please google: windows file extension
Afterwards you open the file and copy this script into it.
//Fast Print Script
//Here you add the function to the menu.
app.addSubMenu({ cName: "FastPrint",cUser: "Fast Print", cParent: "File", nPos: 21 });
app.addMenuItem({ cName: "Fast Print", cParent: "FastPrint", cExec: "StartPrint()"});
function StartPrint()
//When you want to have a information for the user, that he can't change the print settings. Comment it in.
//app.alert("The doucoment prints fast. You can't change any settings.", 3);
//Set the parameters, that the print action will work.
var printParms = { bUI: false, bSilent: true, bShrinkToFit: true };
this.print(printParms);
It should work know.

Adobe reader printer list not showing

while printing the PDF File, windows printers are not showing in the printer list. Where as windows printers are working in Word/Wordpad/notepad.

Same Problem, Adobe Reader 11.0.06
The printer I need is not in the list.
It works fine for everything else, It is directly plugged into my computer, it shows in the services box as a printer I have.
When I go to print, its not there.....
I have 3 others, they are there. But I need a bigger 11x17 paper so I print to a different printer.
It will not let me make it my default ? So cant try that.
I have used the Adobe removal tool and reinstalled with no luck
Any thoughts ??
Where do I download an order working version of Adobe Reader ?

Adobe Reader printer output not printing with printer

Hi all,
I've downloaded the current Adobe Reader 9.3 and have not been able to print. It sends the file to my print spooler where I check on it and see that the job is tagged with an error. I've just got the 10.6.3 but this also occurred under 10.6.2 Mac OS. I posted a bug alert to Adobe. My printer is a Canon. I sometimes choose to use Adobe Reader in leu of Preview when filling out a form. Personal choice at this point, but in the past, only Adobe preserved the correct font and all of the form.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.
Not sure if this is a printer driver issue or a output error. But the printer works with everything else.
Linc

I have a similar problem that my mac mini running 10.6.3 with Adobe Reader 9.3.2. I print using a shared printer HP F2280 from iMac running 10.5.8 wireless airport.
When I print PDF from my mac mini, the share printer can only print a few lines and that stop. There is no error in the printer queue. It say accept print file.
I'm using preview to print PDF right now before solution come out.

Printing with Adobe Reader in Windows 8?

I am using Windows 8 which automatically took me to the new version of Adobe Reader. You know, the clean screen with no toolbars. However it's not apparent where to go to print the document that autoloads in .pdf format. The hidden toolbar that comes up at the bottom doesn't have a print icon. Thanks for your help. Drinian256.

No point in me starting a new thread.
I have yet to find another one on the same issue - but i'll keep digging.
Installing adobe reader for Windows 8 seems to force us to install as an app.
I am unable to find anyway to print from this app.
Any ideas?

How do I stop pop up that asks me, Do you want to save changes to doc... before closing? I have made no changes only printed the file. Using Adobe Reader DC, Windows 7 64 bit.

How do I stop pop up that asks me, Do you want to save changes to doc... before closing? I have made no changes only printed the file. Using Adobe Reader DC, Windows 7 64 bit.
This is very annoying and we need this stopped as we have made no changes to any of the adobe files. Please advise how to do this.
Customer Service DCC

I first tried the version without the deflated stream (so everything uncompressed) against the online repair tool to check/analyse it @ https://www.pdf-tools.com/osa/repair.aspx
And it says no error found, but the reader still want to save it when closing so i still had no clue at this point.
Fortunately, i finally found what was wrong with my generated PDF.
In my xref table, each object reference was not end by a full EOL, i only did put a newline char.
Now i have "carriage return" "newline" which is the full EOL and the reader is happy and close the file silently.
As suspected i did not follow correctly the specs on xref table
Now i'll go and figure what i did wrong with the deflate filter
Thanks for your help.

What do I do when I get a message that adobe reader 7 is not compatable with windows 8?

What do I need to do when a website sends me a message that my adobe reader 7 is not compatable with windows 8?

Are you using Adobe Reader 7 on Windows 8? If so, the message is probably correct and you should download the latest version of Adobe Reader (which is XI).
If you already have Reader XI, maybe you can give us some more details about where you are at and what you are doing when you get this message.

Adobe Reader changes Windows default printer?

Hello.
Currently our customers are complaning about the anomaly, that the default printer is sometimes changed after printing *.pdf's with Adobe Reader. I have never heard of a problem like this before and am even not able, to confirm this behaviour.
That is why I want to ask you, if you have ever heared of something similar like this. Under which circumstances does Adobe Reader print on another non-default printer automatically? Btw. I don't know how to handle this problem so far.
Yours,
Moeki.

Interesting! What was the color scheme prior to launch? Does this problem happen on every launch of Reader X? What if you restore the color scheme and re-launch Reader? If possible can you stick a screenshot of the issue you just described.

I select Adobe Reader in Windows XP but the association is not saved. The next time that I want to open a pdf file I need to repeat it again.

To be sure we're on the same page (and in the same place), you were looking at this window and you are sure that the box I circled is checked?

Adobe pdf printer does not appear

I downloaded Adobe Reader 9 to my HP laptop, but the Adobe pdf printer does not appear on the list of available printers. My HP says it has AMD Turion (tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-34 and Windows XP (Version 2002, Service Pack 2). Can someone tell me how to get the Adobe pdf printer to appear in the list of available printers? Thanks. dmm

Reader is just for the reading pdf files. It does not create pdf files.
For that you need one of the commercial Acrobat products. If you only
need to create 5 or less pdfs, then you can use Acrobat.com.

Adobe Reader Printing Problem

I have a PC with Windows XP SP3. When I try to print a PDF document, I get the following message: "The document could not be printed. There were no pages selected to print." Of course, I had selected the pages to print.
Recently, I had many problems with Adobe Reader 10, so I removed it and reloaded Adobe 9. Today, when this printing problem appeared, I did a restore on my computer, taking it back a few months. I still have the printing problem.
Any idea what's wrong? Any idea how to fix it?

I have Acrobat Pro 9, but the feature I am using is listed under my
printers.
If I go to Print, then in the drop-down list of printers, I have PDF -
which essentially creates a new PDF document. I don't really understand
why it worked, but it did. The Print - PDF is also available to Word,
Publisher, etc.
Hope tis works.

Adobe Reader for Windows Phone cannot open older PDF versions?

I've found that Adobe Reader for Windows Phone displays the following error when I try to open certain PDF documents: "There was an error opening the document".
After doing some limited testing I found that it can successfully open PDF documents which were saved as "PDF version: 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)", but the error appears when it tries to open documents saved as the older format "PDF version: 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x)". (I am checking the filetype version by opening the documents in Adobe Reader X on my PC and looking at the document properties).
My phone is a HTC 7 Mozart running Windows Phone 7.5. I noticed the problem when I was using the SkyDrive app to try and look at some PDF files I have saved in SkyDrive. SkyDrive downloads the file and then passes it to the Adobe Reader app to view. It works when I look at a newer version 1.5 PDF but not the older v1.3 type. Unfortunately my HP Photosmart 5510 scanner outputs scans as PDF files and only in the older file version.
I've tried reinstalling the SkyDrive app and the Adobe Reader app on my phone. (The Adobe Reader app is version 10.1.1, build 20120919).
Is this a known limitation, or is this a bug?
If this is a limitation that won't be fixed - is there an easy way I can convert my files to the newer file type? (Adobe Reader X on my PC doesn't seem to offer a way to convert existing files)
Thanks!

Authorisations to run Adobe Reader under Windows 8

Under windows 8 with adobe reader 11, I have not been able to launch the program. Each time the system says I don't have the authorisations required (even when I follow instructions to get additional authorisations which I seem unable to obtain despite using the normal sequence of "properties" , "security" " advanced etc. and in this case I get the following message in the "target" slot"
The name "c:\program files\adobe\READER 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" is not valid. Verify that the routing (?) and the name of the file are correct
when I click on the Security tag although the location of the programes of Adobe Reader 11 are in fact in the location detailed above. It would seem that windows 8 has a security system that I don't seem to be able to adjust. (I have used Acrobat under Vista and under XP without these problems) . At the moment and after three days of efforts I am still incapable of getting Reader 11 to run..

(a) After installation of Reader 11.0, the following text appears on the
screen after either double clic on the screen icone or clic on c: directory
(c:\programmes\adobe\Reader 11.0 :-
Title: Reader 11.0
Vous ne disposez pas des autorisations requises pour acceder à ce dossier
(Translation (not on screen): You don't have the authorisations required to
accede to this file)
(There are two tabs ("Continue" and "Cancel")
If one clics on "Continuer" the screen reads:
Reader 11.0
L'acces à ce dossier vous a été refusé. Pour acceder à ce dossier vous
devez utiliser l'onglet de securité :
Translation: Acces to this file for you has been denied. To acces this
file you should use the "Security" tab.
One tab: "Fermer" (Close)
If one then does a right clic on the Reader 11.0 screen icone, and then
clic on "properties" then clic on "Security", I get a listing of "groupes or
users" which for this computer gives the following : "System", "John
Willis([email protected]"), "Administrateur (rulepar\Administrateur),
"Administrateurs (rulepar\Administrateurs), "Interactif". Each of these has a check
mark against "Controle Totale",
"Modification", "Lecture et execution", lecture", "Ecriture" and the three
"rulepar" entries each have a check mark against "Autorisations spéciales".
If one clics on the tab "Avancé" then
on the "Autorisations tab 'john willis ([email protected]_
(mailto:[email protected]) ), 'Administrateur (rulepar\Administrateur), "INTERACTIF",
"Administrateurs (rulepar\administrateurs), "Systeme" all have "Controle Totale"
, "Interactif" has "Lecture et Execution" and "Administrateyr
(rulepar\Administrateur) and "john willis ([email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) )
have "Special"
on the "Partage" (share?) tab there are two entries (Type = Autoriser"
Principal for "Administrateurs (rulepar\Administrateurs) and "Tout le monde
(everybody)
on the Audit tab there is nothing and on the Acces Effectif page there is
"Select a user but nothing else.
The title of this page is c:\users\Public@Desktop\Adobe Reader XI. lnk
under a page title "Parameters of advanced security for Adobe Reader XI

Adobe reader issues windows 8 Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly compo

adobe reader issues windows 8 Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly component {B708EB72-AA82-3EB7-8BB0-D845BA35C93D}. HRESULT: 0x80070422.
I have tried many things to try to install it and I have been unsucessful. Please help I have windows 8 64bit.

This did not resolve my issue, it actually made things worse. I did what
you had told me to do below, and it did not work. Tried to access the
internet to respond back to you and my computer was not able to reach the
internet. Tried reaching adobe support and not was able to, even tried
calling was on the phone for 20 minutes and no one answered. I was not able
to re install windows. Contacted Asus from another computer and they were
not able to help me reinstall windows They had asked me to ship my computer
back to them, due to them not being able to resolve the issue and help me
reinstall windows. I luckily had a backup on my external hard drive and was
able to reinstall windows 8. Spent over an hour and half trying to fix
that. Here I am still not able to install adobe reader. I was very unhappy
with what I was told to do and it gave me this issue.
