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 printing problems

    Hi all,
    I have created a word document, and converted it to .pdf using Cute PDF writer. When I open the document in Adobe reader 7/8 I can see the document fine and clear with all fonts and images as they should be.
    The problem is when I try to print the document. When I print from Adobe 8, the font (Gill Sans MT to be specific) doesn't print correctly. Instead of getting a word with one letter after the other, all letters of that word are printing on top of each other if you get me. This can happen anywhere on the page.
    However, if I open the document in Adobe reader 7 - the document prints correctly. No problems. I have tried this on a number of machines so I can safely say its not a problem with the install of the software on any of the machines. It just seems to be an incompatibility with the Adobe reader 8 software.
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening or how I can get around this on Adobe reader 8?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Mo

    a bug most likely. I can only see a couple of options for you. Don't use Reader 8, use a different PDF creator, or try to tweak the settings in in Cute PDF to make it embed and encode the fonts so that Reader 8 can print successfully.

  • Adobe Reader - Print Dialoge box is usable

    Yesterday I was running Reader ver. 10.1.3 on a Windows 2008 x64 Terminal Server.  All users Adobe Reader print dialoge boxes now open up very very large.  Any visible font is perhpas 10" tall (see screenshots below).  Drop down pick lists don't display text, and neither does any of the buttons (see screenshots below).  As long as you just want a standard print, you can press enter to activate the defaulted print button.  You can press the ESC key to exit the print dialoge form.  Printing is all being done to Networked printers and I get the same screen no matter what printer is set to be the default printer.
    Sometimes (rarely) the print dialoge box will display normal size, and it will display the page your going to print, but as per above, there is no text on the buttons or drop down boxes.  The sample screenshot below took up my entire 1920x1080 screen and is just a small portion of the dialoge box size.  I have to scroll around three screen lengths to get to the other side of the dialoge box. There is no verticle scroll bars, so I can't scroll down to the bootom of the dialoge box.  Nor are there any window resize options (see last screenshot below)
    Here is a closeup shot of the top LH side of the Dialoge box:
    Below is a screenshot of the top RH corner (I had to scroll three window lengths to get to it):
    The Word and Excel etc. Print Dialoge boxes are all working ok.  I have tested different default printers with the Reader Print Dialoge box window and get the same looking screen.
    The first thing I tried was to just reboot the Terminal Server (TS).  I was supprised to find that I had the same problem.  I tried upgrading to 10.1.4  and rebooted the TS.  I still have the same problem.  I see that someone else has sort of had a similar issue to mine:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/4559861 But don't really see a response on how or if it was resolved.
    Anyone have an idea of whats going wrong and how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    As mentioned above, every now and then people will see a normal sized dialoge box.  Here are two examples:

  • Unable to print drawing properly in Acrobat - however with Adobe Reader no problem !!!

    Got a pdf (converted ACAD drawing) of which certain sections appear hardly readable on screen (grey, distorted ??)
    Tried all print options (colour, B&W, save PDF again, check rersolutions, contacted supplier of printer etc.) I could think of but no improvements
    By mistake I printed the file direct from explorer view and amazingly enough TEXT OKAY !
    Printed original file to CutePDF_writer and - once again - section could be read without any problem
    Thought I give the free Adobe Reader a try and once again: no problem at all
    Adobe Acrobat is fully updated - beside a Java flattening scripts I have not had anything modified.
    Strang situation: only with the professional tool I am using very often I am unable to print as required.
    Looks to me the file to be printed has some fonts not recognized / supported / missing in my Acrobat software?
    When yes how can I check & resolve ?
    Actually puts me in a delicate position now - help urgently needed !
    Assume I have to add fonts ? But got no warning anything missing...
    And: should a professional software tool not at least match options / features of a free version ?
    Added comment:
    It's even getting more weird
    Printing on an other printer (Minolta instead of Canon) NO PROBLEM AT ALL
    Thanks for help in advance

  • 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.

  • Adobe Reader prints incorrectly, OSX Preview prints correctly?!

    I was wondering if anyone could help us out with some insights into a problem which occurred recently when printing some large, combined PDFs, some of which ran to several hundreds of pages in length.
    The PDFs were combined from three main sources:
    PDFs we’d produced ourselves from InDesign 5.5 to “Pass4Press” / PDF 1.4 specifications.
    PDFs saved from Microsoft Word 2010 using the “Save as PDF” command.
    PDFs supplied by the client - I suspect these were produced either from Microsoft Word or via the “Save as PDF” command on a printer/scanner.
    We used an up-to-date postscript driver and printed to something like a Canon 7100 printer using Adobe/Acrobat Reader. The stuff we printed from InDesign was fine (as I expected it to be, this is the spec I send my PDFs to commercial printers with and I’ve never had a problem with it). Sometimes the text from the Word-generated ones would print as a series of boxes and other times the same file would print correctly with no problems (the font used was either Arial or Arial Narrow), whilst the ones from the client would always print incorrectly in places as a series of symbols. I don’t know what font they used (or how it was embedded) but it looked like Arial and the files came from France (we were printing in England) so maybe their font glyphs are different?
    Opening up a couple of the files in Illustrator revealed no problems with the font. We could print from Adobe Reader using a slower, rasterized driver (which was sooooooo slow we would have missed the deadline) but the funny thing was if we opened the same files using Mac OSX 10.6’s “Preview” programme and printed via the wickedly-fast postscript driver, everything came out perfectly!
    I know that I haven’t provided much in the way of specific, detailed information but would anyone have a general idea of what was going on? I suspect that it was something to do with the fonts not being embedded properly and Preview being more tolerant of this issue than Reader? That said, Adobe Reader is meant to be the blue-ribband application for PDF viewing and printing so presumably it should be more versatile than a scaled-down imitation product which comes free with every Mac? Would anyone be able to suggest a way of heading this off at the pass in the future? Please bear in mind that some of the files were supplied to us by our client, an engineering firm who would see supplying correctly-formatted PDFs as a non-issue, they just hand over whatever comes out of the machine, so ensuring that the PDFs have been encoded correctly at source is not really an option that’s open to us in this case.
    As always, thanks in advance for any and all advice offered.

    Just as a further note to this, something along similar lines has just happened.
    A work collegue printed the PDF located at:
    http://marketforce.eu.com/Conferences/nuclearnewbuild12/Brochure/
    The text printed largely as a series of "y"s and full stops (periods). I printed the same file to a different machine (same make and model) from both Preview on the Mac and Reader 8 on a Windows XP PC and the result was perfect both times!
    Would anyone have any general tips on how to troubleshoot PDFs so we can spot in advance if things like this might happen and also can anyone shed any light on if these kind of problems can sometimes be caused by a printer and/or its driver rather than the PDF itself? I looked at the Preflight options in Acrobat for the first time ever this morning and the range of options contained within seemed a little overwhelming for a newcomer.
    Cheers,

  • Why doesn't adobe reader print

    Adobe Reader has stopped printing for me. I don't recall when the problem started, but until recently I could print easily. Now, every time I try to print any PDF file (old or new, including files I've printed before), I get his message: "The document could not be printed," followed by "There were no pages selected to print." That latter statement is always untrue. I should add that I have no trouble printing from other programs.
    Today, I uninstalled Adobe Reader 11.0.08 and downloaded the program afresh. No difference when I tried to printed.
    What can I do to restore the print function?

    It took me a while to find how to disable the protected mode in Security
    (Enhanced), but after doing that, I managed to get Adobe Reader to
    print! Thanks very much--both for your good advice and for your prompt
    response.

  • Adobe reader prints in low resolution

    Hello Adobe Forum,
    I'm having a problem with one of the users here at the company I work at. He creates a picture using indesign and exports it to PDF and via Adobe Acrobat edits it into something he can edit however when he prints it the resolution is lower then whenever he prints something via indesign. why is that ?
    Printer brand: SATO
    Printer model: CL412e
    So far we've checked everything in the printing preferences because we believed that there would be a setting that allowed you to specify in what resolution you can print. With low resolution I mean is that when I print via Adobe Reader there's pixels around the edges of the pictures [Anti-aliasing] but when printed via indesign, there are less and almost not noticable.
    Please help me,
    What should I do to make sure that whenever the user prints something via Adobe it doesn't come out as a low-resolution print.
    Thanks,
    Wouter Spaan.

    Hello ~graffiti and Wouter,
    I'm the one with the printing  problem, the preset I use is the High Quality print preset and I have  tried some other options such as the Standard and Compatibility options.  The quality onscreen in the pdf is of high quality and since the  printer only prints type labels I don't get why it would suffer a loss  in quality. Also everything is in vector so that makes it even more odd.
    The problem could be in the export options from Indesign but what specific setting could it be?
    I have tried turning almost every setting off and on, turning compression settings off and turning the text into objects.
    I  have also tried different settings within acrobat and changed the  resolution under preferences, even with 1200 pixels/inch it makes no difference.
    There is no  difference in quality between printing from Indesign and Adobe Reader  when printing on a normal printer with normal paper aswell.
    So any idea about specific settings I'm missing or what else might be wrong?
