ATT blocks printing function of Adobe 8 Pro on my iMac

Hi, I have the weirdest experience with AT&T web site and my iMac ever.
I needed to download a PDF version of my iPhone's bill. So, I went to the web site, logged in, selected the bill to download and clicked "Download PDF" icon. It downloaded a "printer_friendly.action" file instead. It appeared to be an Automator action file rather then PDF. Since the file was downloaded from the reputable website, I assumed that that was the way it was supposed to be. After opening that file, I found that I could not print from Adobe Acrobat any more. All other apps such MS Word, or Preview print with no problem.
Is there any way to fix the problem? Calling AT&T did not help much.
They keep blaming Apple and Adobe for this problem. Deleting all Automator's actions along with Automator and reinstalling Adobe Acrobat has not solved the problem.
I will appreciate any help with this.
Thank you.

If you haven't tried this... delete the Adobe Acrobat software you have and reinstall new:

Make sure to run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions BEFORE and AFTER the installation.
Get Onyx. It's a free disk utility can help you do maintenance.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html Warning: DO NOT download the beta version* Launch Onyx, click the Automation tab, in that window click the box next to: Launch Services and then click the Execute button at the bottom of the window. When it's finished, Quit Onyx and reboot.

  • Printing Problems with Adobe Pro 9.5.5

    I have started having a problem printing PDF files from adobe pro 9.5.5. Now every time I try to print to any of my printers, adobe opens the standard print dialog window, but instead of printing to the printer, it wants to write a *.pm file as if I have asked to print to file. When the problem started I was at version 9.4.4. I have since updated to version 9.5.5 without any correction to the printer problem. I have adobe reader version 11 and I can print the file from it without a problem. What gives?

    I assume that in both cases you are talking about Reader and not Acrobat. This is the Acrobat forum. The link to the Reader forum is at the top of this forum. There is no program called Adobe, only the company name.
    If I had a clue, I would make a suggestion, but I don't. It may be something that Reader users have run into. A few here have AA9 and might respond if they have had problems, but I have not heard of any such problems.

  • Printing preview with adobe pro or acrobat reader

    When I print a document I generally use the Preview button to check what the document looks like.
    Is it normal that with Adobe Pro or Reader the Preview buttons returns the following comment "preview is not supported".
    Merci

    Yes, that seems like the expected behavior - I am not exactly sure why Adobe does this, but it happens here too.
    If it's important, you could ask on the Adobe site or send feedback to Apple asking why this occurs.

  • How to add warning message while using 'print' function in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

    I am trying to make pdf document for my company which requires adding a warning message while anyone use 'print' function from the page...
    Does anyone know how to add warning message on LiveCycle Designer
    Also my supervisor mentioned something using 'nag' if that rings any bell

    No you shoudl never go into the XML source unless uinstricted to do so.
    You can open the script editor (under the window menu). It will appear above the drawing area but below the toolbars. You can resize it if there is not enough room. When you click on an object in the form you can choose an event to script against in the Show dropdown. In your case you will want to choose the prePrint event. A line will show up that indicates the object that is associated with the script as well as the event and other information. Add your script below this line. Once that is done you are finished and your form is ready for testing.

  • How to disable "save as" from blocking print function in gmail/net pages

    In Windows XP/Norton360/Firefox: Can't print Gmail or web site pages as of 2/2/12. After clicking PRINT command, the SAVE AS window pops up on top of the PRINT STATUS box. When I close SAVE AS, I get this message box: "Unknown error has occurred while printing." Further attempts keep looping through this routine.
    Have un/reinstalled printer and have reset printer in Config with no change in above. However, I can print email from the web site of another local ISP in Firefox. This is a singular but limiting problem. HELP!!! Gotta get some work done here.

    On your Print window (CTRL+P '''''or''''' ''Firefox button > Print'' '''''or''''' ''File > Print''):
    #be sure your correct printer is seclected
    #be sure "Print to file" is '''''not''''' checked

  • Picture logo becomes blurry when printing to PDF (Adobe Pro X 10.1.12) via Microsoft Excel 2013

    Hi,
    When I look at the Excel preview before printing, everything seems ok. When the PDF file is generated, the logo comes out fuzzy (click on the image so really notice the difference). On the page, only 1 of the two logos are afflicted (I had to hide some parts for privacy concerns - it's for work). I tried on other workstations from the same file and they all work well, and with the same configuration of Adobe. Any idea of what I could be doing wrong?
    Thank you!!

  • Have Adobe Pro 8.0 Can't Print to PDF Printer

    Am getting error Message "out of paper" instead of dialog window that should ask for file name.

    Bill,
    First, let me thank you for sending this email!
    I tried “printing to file” from the Adobe PDF printer using AutoCAD (where I was first having the problem), and it did not store a file in any location on the laptop.  The popup window did pop up and ask where I wanted to store the file, but after typing in a name and hitting the button, it just went away.  This was the second test, the first test locked up the program as I discovered that the Adobe PDF printer was set to spool, then print, and it would never stop spooling, 10 minutes of waiting had me cancel out on the printing.  I then selected ‘print directly to printer’. With this change, after the fill in the name of the file window, it just went poof.  No file saved.
    I am running Win 7 pro with trend micro security (came on the laptop).  In addition, I cannot use the Adobe PDF printer with any other software either.  However, if I open Adobe directly, then go to the command ‘create pdf from file’, select the file (even if it is autoCAD) it will “make” the pdf document.  So there is a work around. 
    One additional thing I can say is that, with this laptop, in the past, I was able to use the Adobe pdf printer as intended and it worked well. 
    I believe that my issues started when I clicked on the ‘pdf-Xchange’ (tracker software) printer by accident one day when I meant to select the Adobe PDF printer, I had installed this software a long time ago on another Laptop and  even through I never “installed” it on this laptop, it came over with copying the files from the old laptop to the new one, somehow, I do not know how, it got set up as a printer on this new machine!!! 
    I have sense uninstalled it, and removed all it’s folders and files and run CCcleaner to get any leftover .dlls that it might have left.  Since then I have done the uninstall on Adobe and reinstall and also deleted the Adobe PDF printer and then run the ‘repair’ function from Adobe 8.0 to reinstall the printer.  Still does the same thing.  The original error message from the printer info window was that the Adobe PDF printer was “out of paper”, how can a virtual printer ever run out of paper?

    I am having an issue with my adobe acrobat 9 pro. Every time I try to open a pdf from someone it opens it up with my free adobe reader rather than the Acrobat 9 pro so then I don't have all of the functions of 9 pro. How do I get it to open with 9 pro instead of the free reader?

    It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

  • AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Adobe Reader 9.2 / Actobat Reader 9.3

    AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Reader 9.2/9.3. Tried ActiveX print functions like printPages(), printAll(), printWithDialog(), none of them is working. Tried on platforms: XP 32 bit and Win7 32 bit. These print functions all work fine with Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0 on XP 32 bit or Win7 32 bit.
    The way I have my setup: I have created a C/C++ project with AcroPDF MFC ActiveX classes. I have created an AcroPDF object in there, and then calling it's LoadFile() function passing a pdf file in the parameter. Then calling the printPages() or printAll() function. With Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0, printing is starting through the default printer without any problem. As soon as I update the reader version to 9.2 or more, the same code stops working.
    Is anybody noticing any similar issue? Any info on this will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

    Unfortunately printWithDialog() is also not working. Actually none of the print functions like Print(), printWithDialog(), printPages(), printPagesFit(), printAll(), printAllFit() are working. All of them works fine though with older reader.
    BTW, what security related changes are there for printPages() and printAll()? Can you please elaborate on that? Is there any workaround?

  • Adobe Pro 9 Printing Problems

    I am using Vista Business, and Adobe Pro 9. Many times, when I try to print to PDF (usually lots of graphics) I get the following error message:

    I have selected yes many times, have gone through the re-installation process, but next time I try to print to PDF with and the source document has lots of graphics, I get the same error message and can't print.
    Any ideas?

  • Adobe pro - print settings: How do i make a custom page size list, which i can copy to my other comp

    Adobe pro - print settings: How do i make a custom page size list, which i can copy to my other computers who have adobe pro installed?

    your right.. i ment acrobat pro :-)
    my problem is that i use the PDF printer to export CAD drawings as PDF´s.
    As it is now, there are some pre-defined page sizes in the print settings, and i know i can add custom pages manually one at a time.
    What i want is to copy the list of my danish standard page sizes, and use them on my other versions of acrobat.
    Its like 70 different sizes, and i have them made manually on my current computer, but i hope its possible to copy the list to other computers.
    Maby its some script where i can define the sizes, and then copy to another computer. Im just not that much of a computer genius :-)
    Hope i got through this without to many spelling mistakes...
    Thanks for helping.

  • Adobe pro 9 changes printers when mouse moves over printer window

    When trying to print an adobe document, the default printer is ignored and the selected printer changes as the mouse moves across the printer window to reach the print button, making it difficult to stabilize the printer selection. Please advise

    I have now checked other people in my departments Adobe versions.
    I have Adobe Pro V9.0.0, and does not print correctly.
    1 person has Adobe XI Pro and prints correctly.
    1 person has Adobe Pro 9.5.5 and prints correctly.
    1 person has Adobe Pro V9.0.0 and does not print correctly
    I have now installed the available upgrades which only took me to 9.2.0 and still prints incorrectly.
    I wil try and find the other updates and see if that helps.
    thx.

  • Adobe Pro affecting Outlook printing

    I recently installed Adobe Professional on a user's computer.  This user needs to print all attachments in any multiple attachment Outlook email.  Since installation of Adobe Pro, only one attachment prints when she tries to print all email attachments.  How can I resolve this?

    What happens when you try to open a different attachment and try to print? Outlook (what version on what OS). Any error messages?
