Booklet printing problems with Reader XI (version 11.0.06)

I created an 80 page 5.5" x 8.5" booklet using Word 2011 running under OSX 10.9.2 on a new 27" iMac.  I then "printed" it to a PDF file.  I then opened the PDF file in Reader XI and attempted to print it out using the "booklet" option as described at
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/print-booklets-acrobat-reader.html#main1_Reader_and_Acro bat_X .
I planned to manually duplex the booklet booklet since my HP Color Laserjet CP1518ni printer does not have automatic duplexing.  The first sign that something was wrong came when I selected "Back side only" from the Booklet Subset pop-up menu.  The numbers in the Sheets from boxes showed "Sheets from 1 to 10" when I obviously needed 20 sheets to print the booklet.  Repeated attempts to manually change it to "Sheets from 1 to 20" failed.  Each time I changed "10" to "20", it would flip back to "10" when I clicked the "Print" button.
I set the Booklet Subset to print only the even pages and checked the "Reverse" box as I have done to successfuly print thousands of manually duplexed pages before.
The printer only printed ten sheets.  The first sheet (what should be the booklet's centerfold) had page 40 on the left side as it should, but 42 on the right (it should have been 41).  The last of the ten sheets printed had page 4 on the left side (instead of the expected  2) and 78 on the right side (instead of the expected  79).  Even though these were obviously messed up, I went on to print the front side of these sheets, selecting "normal".  It printed Page 1 on the right side as expected, but printed page 79 (instead of the correct page 80) on the left.
Folding the ten sheets into a booklet revealed the really bizarre nature of the printing snafu. Page 1 was, as expected, on the front.  Turning the first page open revealed pages 4 and 5.  Turning the second page revealed Pabes 8 (left) and 9 (right).  This pattern continued, printing two pages, then skipping two pages, right into the centerfold pages 40 (left) and 42 (right).  The first page turn after the centerfold revealed pages 43 (left) and 46 (right).  The next revealed 47 (left) and 50 (right).
I am at a complete loss of how to determine where the printing process went afoul.  Printing the PDF file normally (one page per sheet one-sided) resulted in all pages being printed normally. 
The really frustrating part of this entire experience is that I could find no place to report this "bug" to Adobe.  If anyone can help me solve this printing dilemma, or put me in touch with someone at Adobe who could help, it would be greatly appreciated.
The booklet is due at the printer's tomorrow and the inability to print a proof is a real pain.  Hope the printer can print this file as a booklet.  I would be happy to send this file (125 Mb) to anyone who might help.

I arrived here looking for a solution!  And while reading your post the penny dropped that I didn't have a serious problem.  I have a booklet of 112 pages and all I needed to do was re-order the pages as printed so that 1 is followed by a sheet with 2 on the under-face but same side and so on.  The pages had printed back to front and needed flipping.  But then I have a duplex printer and maybe that makes a difference.  Is it to do with your manual duplexing and the order that the second pass is presented to the printer.  As my duplex sheets effectively needed flipping over each one I'm wondering if you can solve your problem with a little experimentation and re-ordering before your second pass.

  • Printing Problems with Reader XI

    Everything was fine until today. Yesterday, I installed the trial version of InDesign. Now, when I try to print any PDF that is in portrait mode, it prints them all in landscape and cuts them off. The preview still shows the page in landscape even though Portrait mode is selected. The page does not rotate when you alternate between Portrait and Landscape modes.
    Please help, as my bank statements CANNOT be downloaded to files, so I can't DL them and print from an alternate PDF application like Preview.
    Happens whether I'm in Safari or Firefox. Changing default app to Preview also did not work. It's gotta be a problem with the plug-in.

    Hi Spikedds,
    Are you still facing this issue?
    Have you tried to print from a different machine? Also i would suggest to update printer drivers.

  • Printing problem with Reader 11.0.03

    I have updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.03 but now cannot print any PDF files. When I try to print, I get an error message "The document could not be printed". When I click "OK", I get a second error message that "There were no pages selected to print". Of course, I have tried selecting "All" pages as well as individual pages but nothing works. I have verified that my printer drivers are current and it will print other types of documents (Word, etc). This problem was not present with the previous Reader version. I am running Windows 7 and IE10 with everything updated. I have tried all the troubleshooting suggestions (setting the security level, making sure scripting is activated, etc) but no success. Please advise.

    Hi John,
    Please try printing some other PDF with the same printer and then check.
    In Reader, go to File> Print> Page Size & Handling (Multiple) and uncheck 'Print on both sides' option.
    Let me know if this sorts your problem.

  • I am having a printing problem with reader xi when i try to print a pdf file?

    i am having a problem printing on either of my printers with pdf e-mail attachments.
    the printer hangs up until i go to device manager to stop it and then it ptints.
    sometimes i get an error message "an internal error occured".
    i have reinstalled the software and also tried to repair in control panel with no luck.
    can anyone point me in the right dirrection to fix this?
    thanks...

    After a great deal of confusion,  I got to the right page in the help files. What I have to do to print PDF's, for I have no clue what reason, is on this page, under the "windows only" section.

    The basic is:  right click on the non-printing document, select document properties, then advanced;  if "protected mode" is "on", then..... click "edit" on the document, "preferences", and turn off the "enable protected mode" icon at the top of the mega-list that appears,  click ok, close Reader, then reopen Reader and the pdf document, and miraculously, the "Print" icon at the top of the page will allow printing! 

  • Duplex printing problem with Reader Upgrade

    I upgraded Acrobat Reader 10.1.8 to 11.0.4 and can no longer access fast or duplex printing for PDF's. I have a Canon MP970 printer for 3 years and have always been able to do both fast printing and duplex printing of PDF's.
    How do I resolve?

    I have an identical issue to neuegestaltung, but with an HP 5500. I can print single-sided to A3/tabloid successfully but when I try printing duplex the right quarter of the page is cut off on both sides - almost as if it thinks it's printing portrait.
    Applications affected include Adobe Acrobat 8 and 9, Adobe CS3 and CS4 applications including InDesign.
    Preview works fine, but of course the colour balance makes the output unusable.
    OS 10.6.2, print driver HP Color LaserJet 5500 v 3010.107.
    Using the Gutenprint driver I can't either do A3 or colour so there is no solution there.
    Worked fully and correctly with the same apps under 10.5.x.
    At the moment I am running Windows XP under VMWare to print from Acrobat, which is plainly silly.
    Any useful* observations, suggestions or workarounds welcome.
    *Needless to say, "It's Adobe's problem" or similar are not acceptable responses. It may well be an interaction between the Adobe's applications and Apple's printing system and/or driver of course; in that case the companies need to collaborate to solve the issue.

  • Print problem with Reader 11.0.10 on Mac

    My Wells Fargo account requires Adobe Reader for PDFs, so I downloaded Reader 11.0.10 to my Mac. Now when I try to print files that Preview printed flawlessly on a HP LaserJet 2200dn, all I get is two blank pages. What needs fixing—Adobe Reader, Mac OS X, the LaserJet driver?

  • Printing problems with InDesign CS3 running on OS 10.6

    I recently upgrade my old G4 Mac (OS 10.4) to a new Mac Mini running OS 10.6.6. I am still running CS3 and have encountered only one problem. When I print multiple copies documents from InDesign that contain several layers, each copy is processed separately, so that it can take several minutes just to send the print job to the printer if I'm printing over 20 copies. Then once the print job is processed the printer pauses between every copy, which is tripling the printing time. If I print a simpler document with only one or two layers it processes all the copies at once, as it should. I am printing on an Okidata 6150 color laser printer.
    I never had this problem on my old computer. I'm wondering if this is one of the "unsupported" bugs of running CS3 on Snow Leopard. I want to make sure that this is a problem unique to running CS3 with Snow Leopard before I go ahead and upgrade to CS4 or CS5.
    computer: Mac Mini core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processors, 4 gb RAM, printer: Okidata 6150 DN color laser printer.

    Hi again Peter
    It is version 5.0.4.  I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
    I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0.  I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it.  Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version.  However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader.  I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it.  I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

    I neglected to ask what version of indesign CS3 you are using. I also 
    notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually 
    addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to 
    launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update, 
    nonetheless.

    I am not new to InDesign... I have CS3... but I am brand new to Mac Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3).  Although I can open CS3 and use the application, I cannot print with it.  None of my other applications has printing issues... just CS3.  Any suggestions?

    There certainly is a problem with itunes. I downloaded 9.2 and now it won't open. It won't recognize my iphone, either. I uninstalled it in the order recommended by the site, no joy. Deleted a configuration file, no joy. System Restore, no joy. All other software and hardware on the machine is working fine. I call AppleCare AND a local store, either they are completely clueless (which I doubt), or they have no idea how to fix it. I can't even back up my phone, or use the ipod. And since no one at Apple seems to care enough, I'll have to wait until the clamor is loud enough for them to even admit to a problem before I can use the ipod again.

  • Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

    After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
    Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
    Problem:
    - New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions. 
    - When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi. 
    - The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install). 
    Solution:
    1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
    Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
    Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software  for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
    The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
    1 Printer Driver
    (Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
    2 Scanner Driver
    (Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
    3 Network Tool
    (Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
    Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
    4 Solution Menu
    (Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
    5 MP Navigator EX
    (Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
    6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
    (Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
    Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
    http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
    Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
    1. Choose a product category
    Multifunctional Printers
    2. Choose a product series
      Pixma
    3. Choose a product model
      Pixma MX868
    4. Choose type of document
    Downloads or FAQ
    If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
    2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
    Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB.  Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’).  This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
    3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
    After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
    Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
    DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list).  The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
    You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
    If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List.  It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
    If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

    Hi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

  • Printer problem with AW 6.2.9

    I have a recurring printer problem with both hp deskjet 5150 and Epson R220. After much work with techs at both, we have determined that it is an AW problem (v. 6.2.9) Other files print okay. I've searched through recent posts and found similiar questions, but the answers aren't specific to my problem. I gather that it involves trashing certain AW files, such as Appleworks.plist and other Appleworks prefs. It will help it I know the specific files to trash and as much detail about how to find them on the HD. I will be infinitely grateful for any help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You are correct that deleting the AppleWorks preferences can fix some printing problems. I'm surprised that in finding that information you didn't come across a post with the specific information or a tip to my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, that explains which preference files ot delete.
    Make sure you have the newest printer driver for each printer. Also, use Disk Utility to repair permissions after any system update or upgrade.
