Adobe Reader X Windows 7 (64) Printing Issue

When attempting to print, either by clicking the print button, pressing Ctrl + P, or selecting File - Print, Adobe reader closes.  No print dialog ever appears.
I do not have this issue with other software printing. 
Ideas?

I have found it necessary for some of my users (32-bit Win7 and Vista)

  • Adobe Reader Update causes weird printing issues

    I recently updated my Adobe Reader to Adobe Reader X. I have a Toshiba with Windows 7 68-bit I believe. After updating to Reader X, I noticed that when I go to print a document, the print settings in Adobe are default set to Print on both sides. I was only printing 1 page so I ignored this and just hit Print, but what happened was really bizarre. The printer printed a blank 2nd page, and then Adobe prompted me to reset my even-numbered pages in the printer to proceed with double-sided printing. If I uncheck the Print on both sides option, I have no problems, everything prints fine. I understand there's already attention called to the bug in the update that defaults the print settings to Print on both sides and has trouble saving new settings. I don't care about that. This is what bothers me: Adobe and the computer and the printer and whatever else is involved should be able to communicate properly that if only 1 page is being printed, it need not print a 2nd blank page and basically force me through the double-sided print process if there's only 1 page, right? Isn't that sort of common sense? I don't mind having to uncheck the Print on both sides option when I go to print just 1 page, but it seems ridiculous to me that I should have to.
    Just so you know, I installed the same Adobe Reader X update on a much older computer with a much older printer and had the same problem.
    I am wondering if this is an Adobe problem or a printer problem. Neither of the 2 printers I tried this on do doulbe-sided printing automatically. They both require manual help to print on both sides. Will printers that automatically do double-sided printing also send the page through twice even if there is no 2nd page? Then this probably wouldn't be such an issue, if the printer did the double-sided printing itself, I wouldn't care if it passed the paper through twice.
    But given that not all printers are equipped with automatic double-sided printing, this then becomes a real pain if I forget to uncheck the Print on both sides button because I then have to go through this entire 2-page process for 1 page. And my printer is in a common area, not right next to my computer, so it adds a lot of back and forth trying to print just 1 page.
    Also I read up on previous posts about the default Print on both sides setting, and read one employee's comment that Adobe simply retains the last default setting used for printing PDFs. This is not true. Since my printer at home does not do automatic double-sided printing, I never ever ever use any double-sided printing setting. Even when I do print on both sides, I print odd pages first, flip them over and reset them in the printer, then send a second separate job to print even pages. Same with my work printer. I understand that by defaulting to the double-sided print setting, Adobe is sort of tricking you into saving paper and that's great and all, but all printers don't do double-sided printing automatically. I ended up wasting double the amount of paper last night trying to print a document last night while figuring this out, so way to go.

    Dear user,
    We would request you to check your version from Help-> 'About Adobe Reader X' because we doubt that you are using an outdated version of Reader. Please update it to 10.1.3 because it was a known issue in 10.1.2 which got fixed by 10.1.3.
    I would also request you to check your printer side setting from Control Panel-> Devices and Printers-> Right click Printer-> Printing Preferences-> Search for 'Print on both side or duplex printing' option (generally its under 'Finishing' tab)-> Uncheck it there if you are not using it.
    Hope this will resolve your problem. Let us know the result.
    Thanks

    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 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.

  • Using Adobe Reader 10.0 X - Printing issue

    Hello,
    I have a user who is trying to print out a pdf document using the print as an image file option.
    This works except the printout is not centered .
    Just wondering if there is a way to correct this?
    Thx,
    Allen

    I am having this same issue in my office.  The printer will partially print the document and also spits out a page about the printer being out of memory.  Selecting "Print as Image" is our only work around but this sends a large slow page to the printer.
    This was not an issue with version 9.

  • 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?

  • 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
    with my Windows 7 64 bit computer. I
    get an error when sending a document to
    the PDF veiwer and am told to shut down
    Adobe Reader.  Is there a download to
    correct this problem?  Adobe Reader 9.3.1
    works fine with Windows XP on my 32 bit
    computer.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Partial printing only from Adobe Reader via Server 2008 print spooler

    Hi there,
    We've recently set up a new print server for our school. It's running Windows Server 2008 (not R2) 32 bit. We have 8 printers, which are all HP LaserJet P2035n.
    All printing works fine, except for PDF files from Adobe Reader. PDF files from Adobe Reader go through the print server with no visible errors, however they print strangely.
    Often there will be a blank page at the start. Generally they will not print all pages (e.g. 4/10 or so) and they will cause the printer to error.
    We do not get this problem using other PDF readers or with the Google Chrome PDF plugin.
    Could you please provide some troubleshooting steps? Based on elimination, it seems to be something to do with the way Adobe Reader communicates with either the print server or the printer, causing some type of malformed request.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

  • Adobe Reader on Windows 7 64BIT

    Hi All
    since version 10 (X) of adobe reader our windows 7 64bit machines take an age to open PDF's over 10 seconds for most, regardless of if the file is on the local machine or network
    They currently have version 10.1.0 installed.
    On all our vista pcs it runs fine and we dont appear to have the issue on our windows 7 32bit machines
    Does anyone else have this issue
    Does any one know how to fix this issue
    Thanks in advance
    Neil

    Hi All
    Just a quick update
    We disabled Antivirus and Antispam and still had the issue
    Tried this Go to Edit / preferences / general - the uncheck box "Enable protected mode at startup" This got rid of the lag in opening adobe docs.
    Still no good
    tried this Open the reader, select Edit, Preferences then select Internet from the Categories.  This should display the Web browser options page, untick "Allow speculative downloading in the background".  This increased the speed of opening pdfs for me hope it helps.
    Still have the issue
    The only thing we have found now is if we open Adobe reader first and open all other pdf from the open menu its is fine and fast, we get the issue when we douible click the PDF to open it
    cheers

    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.

  • How do I get rid of embedded adobe reader process windows and taskbar icons?

    In the lastest versions of Adobe reader I've come across the issue of finding an adobe task bar icon and a small adobe reader process window for each PDF document that I have open witin an Internet explorer tab. This is driving me crazy. At first I thought it was jut an issue with the machine that I'm on, but I have now seen this happen in multiple computers. Anyone have any ideas on how to keep these from clogging my screen and taskbar?
    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Internet Explorer version 10.0.9200.16686, and Adobe Reader 11.0.4.

    Group similar buttons on the taskbar
    Taskbar buttons represent open programs on your computer. When you have several programs  open at once, the taskbar might seem crowded with buttons. To help organize the taskbar and save space, you can group similar taskbar buttons so that all of the open files from one program are grouped into one taskbar button, like this:
    Grouped taskbar buttons  
       Open Taskbar and Start Menu Properties by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Taskbar and Start Menu. 
    Select the Group similar taskbar buttons check box so that it is checked. (To turn off grouping, clear the Group similar taskbar buttons check box.)

  • Adobe Reader changes windows color scheme after launching

    Hi all,
    We have been using heavily adobe reader. the problem we have encountered is that after launching adober reader on windows 7 pro, default color scheme changes and it is being displayed as if we are on safe mode.
    We could not find a solution so far. Hope you would provide me some info in order to fix it.

    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.
