Can not longer print pdf from Acrobat Reader

All of a sudden I can no longer print pdf files to my printer. It is shared by all the computers in our household and any time I try to print from any of the computers now, instead of printing it creates a prn file instead. I can find no option in the printer properties where selecting or deselecting something to enable or disable printing to files. All the systems are either MS Vista or Windows 7. Though there are commands that allow sending a prn to a network printer, they require a named print server, which we don’t have on our peer-to-peer network.
It is interesting that I can create a pdf file in Photoshop on my system and it will print from Photoshop. I can also print the “problematic” documents for Photoshop, which I only have on one system. But anything created in Acrobat will not print natively from Acrobat reader.

In the Print dialog click on Advanced, then uncheck Print to File.

Cannot print PDF from Acrobat Reader to Canon printer?

Printing was working before but now nothing happens, even not showing up in printer que. From Word, Execl or web page printing is working fine. Reinstalling Acrobat and printer drivers didn't fix it.

Hi ronquaedvlieg,
What is the current version of Reader installed on your machine?
Have you tried to install the latest version, also have you tried to check latest updated driver for your printer.
What is the problem you are facing while trying to print using Reader, are you getting any error. Attach screen shot of the error if any.
Also i moving this discussion under Reader forums.

PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet. The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17. I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI. I did double check for updates on both products and installed them. Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
1) Click ADVANCED
2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
3) Set DPI to 300
4) Click OK
5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

Since updating to Firefox 3.6.15, I can no longer print coupons from SmartSource. The error message is that Java is not detected. The check box is longer showing in the Options/Content of this version of Firefox, so I can not enable it.

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer. Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
spooling".
I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
"Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
bank statement.
So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
TO PRINT THEM.
NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.

There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

HELP! Why can't I print PDFs from my applications?

For over a year I've used Adobe Pro to "print" PDFs from AutoCAD LT (a drafting program). This allows me to perform design/drafting services for long distance clients and email them PDF "prints" of drawings for them to review, print, and use. It has worked beautifully...until this week. Now whenever I go to print a PDF from AutoCAD (or even other Windows applicacations like Word) it gives me an error telling me to change the Advanced printer preferences to "print directly to printer". When I go into the Adobe printer preferences and select this option. and return to print the PDF, selecting the print command causes AutoCAD to hang indefinitely and eventually crash when I try to cancel the print command. This behavor is the same inside other Windows applications like Word. So I've concluded that the issue is inside Adobe or my computer's Adobe "printer" settings. I've spent 5-6 hours unistalling a reinstalling Adobe several times in hopes to get back to whatever settings that worked before...to no success.
The last piece to the puzzles is that I was on vacation last week. Instead of the desktop computer in my office that I typically use, I took my old laptop. I only have one license of Adobe Pro. Even though I hadn't used it for months on the laptop, it worked fine creating PDFs from AutoCAD. My question is: did using Adobe on my laptop deactivate the Adobe loaded on my desktop? And if so, why hasn't deactivating and uninstalling the Adobe Pro on my laptop, and unistalling/reinstalling/activating the Adobe Pro on my desktop, fixed the problem?
I'm at my wits' end...any feedback/advice would be much appreciated!

In WORD (Sorry I don't have Autocad), can you go to the FILE>Print and print to the Adobe PDF printer with no problem? If not, can you select print-to-file and then open the file in Distiller to complete the conversion? If the latter works, it sounds like you may have disabled AcroTray, a necessary part of the printing process.

Can no longer print PDF files on C310.

Morning,
have a HP C310. Used to work fine... Frustratingly it no longer prints PDF files.
I've uninstalled everything and reinstalled it.
Updated drivers.
Tried the print as an image.
Prints other documents fine.
When I try and print a PDF file it seems like the printer is just ignoring the request.
Any further suggests before I through it out the window and buy a printer that works.....
Thanks in advance,
Daren

Hmm... OK, I happen to have the same printer (on wireless LAN) and OS and it prints fine for me....
Are you printing from File, Print or from the printer icon? I recall that Adobe applications may have their own version of what the default printer is. If using the printer icon try instead with File, Print and make sure the c310 is selected as the printer. Also check the Advanced settings in the print menu. In my case all the boxes are unchecked (except the grayed-out selection for downloading Asian fonts in the postscript box).
One other thing to check would be to open the print spooler and then print a PDF and make sure that a print job does show up and then disappear from the spooler.

Can no longer print directly from html nor to a pdf. Mac OX 10.7.4

For several weeks now whenever I try to print a document directly from Internet (html) the printer preview window doesn't show the document. I only get a black screen. I tried printing anyway thinking that there could be a problem with the preview settings of the printer but all I get is a black page. I can also not printo to PDF using the "save us" dialog. I've check all the printer' settings (including installing and desinstalling it) but everything is OK. It happens regardless of the browser (Safari or Firefox). Downloading the document to my computer also doesn't solve the problem: it downloads but when I attempt to open the document an error messsage pops-up saying that the file is corrupted and can not be opened.
I have no problem at all when I try to print any kind of document saved on my computer: The preview on the printer dialog shows the actual document. The result is the desired one (the printed doc) and I can also print to PDF by clicking the "PDF" button on the printer's dialog screen. So far the only provisional solution I have found is to take a screen-shot and then print it. The problem comes when you have to scroll down a document you want to print. In this case the screen-shot is useless.
Details:
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
Acrobat 10.1.4
Printer: HP Officejet all-in-one 7310 (5C2DCA)
Using wifi to connect to printer
Thank you in advance for your help!

This preview window - is it the one in Acrobat 10.1.4 when you choose to print a PDF (or a PDF made from an HTML)? If it's a preview in a browser, this seems like maybe a Mac OS problem; Acrobat doesn't make that preview.

Can't print PDFs from Adobe Reader 7!

A few months ago I started having problems printing from Adobe Reader 7.
I can view PDFs fine. I can also view PDFs online through Safari with the Adobe Reader plug in.
What I've resorted to doing is using Preview to open PDFs that I've saved from Adobe Reader, and I can print fine through Preview.
But that isn't quite a good fix for me!
I can also print documents in other formats from plenty of other applications, so I know it's not a printer-talking-to-Mac issue.
What happens is this - I have a PDF open in Adobe and send it to print. The printer comes up in the dock like its working. After an appropriate amount of time (the time one would expect the document to print), it disappears from the dock as though it is done printing. But no document ever prints. And the printer never displays that it is receiving information to print.
Yesterday I spent a good chunk of time working on this problem to no avail.
I ran "detect and repair" in Adobe Reader but no problems were found.
I threw away Adobe Reader 7 (I think I was up to 7.0.7) and its preferences and other files and downloaded and installed Reader 6. I still couldn't print from Reader.
I installed patches and updates incrementally to from Reader 6 to 7.0.5 by allowing Reader to update itself, but that didn't help.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. That didn't fix the problem.
I tried printing the document through Reader as an "image," but it just crashed the Reader.
I also downloaded and ran "Printer Setup Repair" (something I saw suggested in someone else's post about an Adobe print problem) but that didn't help matters either.
I'm sort of stumped. I'll also post this to the Adobe forums, but from what I've seen the folks over there are not really Mac users.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers!

Ann,
A few more thoughts or your dilemma...You might try looking at your system.log with the utility Console to see if it might give you a clue to the problem. (Not that I understand all the stuff in those logs, but when MS Word and Quark did not produce printouts, the Console log named the problem fonts.)
The culprit may be the Adobe Reader PPD or Plugin. The path to those are HD/Library/Printers/PPDs/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF7.PPD and HD/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/AdobePDFPDE700.plugin. So if you try deleting Adobe Reader stuff again, be sure to delete those docs too, before re-installing.
Note: I use Acorbat Pro 7 so I do not know if the filenames ADPDF7.PPD and AdobePDFPDE700.plugin are the same for Reader, but the paths might be helpful.
Before uninstalling and re-installing both Adobe PhotoShop and Reader, I would suggest that you check the integrity of you hard drive. Overtime, stuff gets out of place and some applications are more sensitive than others. If there is something wrong on the hard drive, replacing the applications will still produce the same problem. Repairing disk is different from repairing permissions. As in my previous post, boot up your computer with your OS 10.3.x Install Disk 1 and launch the Disk Utility app from the CD. Click on Repair Disk...
Hope this helps.

I think it is related to laptop operating syst. (Windows XP Nedia Center Edition) and latest Adobe Readed XI. Can you help with the proper diagnostic and what should I do, please?

I updated to Reader 11.0 and can no longer print PDF files

I have restarted my computer and tried PDFs from multiple sites, including ones I have previously been able to print. Adobe repeatedly tells me there are no pages selected to print. There are definitely pages selected.

What is your operating system? Reader version?

I can no longer print pdf files

When I select a PDF file to print
First "Print to File" pops-up
Next "output file name" box opens
This all changed when I downloaded 8.1.2 . First all of 8.0 was not removed. I did that. I uninstalled 8.1.2 more than once. I even changed to firefox from IE 7.
I am not a computer person. I do need to be able to print pdf files
I will take any help. Keep it simple, please!
I use Windows XP Home sp2

I am a mac OS X 10.4.11 user and I have adobe acrobat 8 professional. Recently, I am unable to print pdfs. I can open them to read, but when I send them to the printer they won't print. The printer icon just jumps then nothing happens.
I tried switching printers, from a HP 990cse to a Cannon pixma iP4300 however that doesn't help either. Same result (or rather lack of results).
Any thoughts on what is wrong?
Thanks
Gail

Turn off notes when printing PDF from preview?

How do you turn off the annotations when printing a PDF from Preview so that the annotation notes do not appear in the margin of the printed document? Is this possible? If not, it should be.
When a page has annotations preview automatically reformats the printed page so that the note appears alongside it. I would like to print it the normal side, without the annotations that I added. I don't mind if the little flag remains in the text to indicate that there is a note, but I can't figure how to turn off the function that reduces the page and switches the orientation.

The "Print" window that you open when printing contains various optional settings prior to proceeding with printing.
