Can't print a PDF doc using Adobe Reader X

Previously had Adobe Reader 8. First time ever experienced a problem in printing a PDF document, message read "you need to install a printer". My printer is installed, can print in Word, Excel, photos, etc. Downloaded latest drivers to my printer, installed Adobe Reader X, opened the document, but alas, it encountered a problem and closed down. So I am still unable to print a PDF document. I've been around in circles trying to find a solution but haven't been successful. Can anyone help?

Normally if I come across unprintable PDF files, first I would check the property to see if it has print restriction. If so, I would turn to a pdf password remover to remove it.
But your case is a little strange, maybe you can try to print with another pdf reader first.
That's all I can think about. Hope it helps.

Hi Ajlan,
To fix my problem, i uninstalled adobe reader X with "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool", rebooted the server, installed Adobe Reader XI and rebooted again.
For some users, this fix the problem but with some others i had to define Adobe Reader by default again.
I tried without use "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool" before and adobe reader X wasn't really uninstall.
Thanks,

I can't print certain .pdf documents in Adobe Reader?

When I try to print certain documents from in Adobe Reader XI, instead of going to my printer screen, it goes to a SAVE screen? What is happening, and how can I fix it? I am using a Brother MFC-J460W All-in-One that I just purchased a few months ago, and just download the latest available driver for it. I am using Windows 8.

In the Print dialog click the Advanced button and make sure that "Print to file" is not selected.

Why can I not open PDF files using adobe reader in firefox?

When I try to read a PDF file with adobe reader the file looks like it starts to load, I see in the tool bar the page count but the file never opens.

You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

Need help to print in PDF format using Adobe Reader with FireFox and a FileOpen plug-in. Can't get anything to work.

Can't print any PDFs after installing adobe Reader x version 10 - help!

I am using Windows XP professional SP 3 and Google Chrome as a web browser.
Everything worked OK until the upgrade to Reader 10 - I have removed the Adobe reader and reinstalled and no luck.
I am not able to print PDF's from the internet nor within other programs.
What should I do?
Thanks

This helped me out, works perfectly now. (using OS 10.8.5)
Remove from the folder /Library/Internet Plug-Ins:
1) AdobePDFViewer.plugin
2) AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
backup these plugins - just in case.

Can only print in 4x6 size from Adobe Reader - Help!

When printing letter sized docs using Adobe Reader, in the preview print box it says the size of my preview is 4 x 6. I can't find anywhere to change this to letter size. My page scaling is set at Fit to Printable Area. Adobe Reader thinks the output size is 4 x 6 - how do I change this?
Thanks!

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.

Can Data Be Written To A Called PDF When Using Adobe Reader 9?

Can data be written and saved to another called pdf when using Adobe READER 9?

You'll have to expand on your description for a full answer - but all things considered, it would be possible.
If the "called" (this is one of the things you need to clarify - do you mean a PDF opened via the JavaScript openDoc method?) PDF discloses itself, then the "calling" PDF can execute an importXFDF or similar call on that PDF as long as they are Reader Extended.
Past that, you'll need to give us more information on exactly what you're trying to do.

I can't see the Greek characters using ADOBE reader

Dear colleagues,
Your help will be appreciated for the following problem:
I have a tool which converts IBM I (AS400) spool file to PDF.
The file has been copied to Windows environment.
On generated PDF I can’t see the Greek characters using ADOBE reader v10.1.4.
If I use Notepad to display the file, I can see the Greek characters.
It seems that following PDF keywords are not recognized form PDF reader.
/BaseFont /Courier
/Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding
I have tried to use various fonts and encoding (cp1253, ISO8859-7) with no luck.
On PDF reader folder there is the following file:C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Resource\TypeSupport\Unicode\Mappings\win\CP1253.TXT
I believe somehow to tell PDF reader to use this encoding.
What actions required on our Win/PDF environment setup?
What actions required on PDF file generation? (/BaseFont, /Enconding, etc)

Too many assumptions! It is much, much more complicated than your attempted solutions. The PDF Reference shows the contents of WinAnsiEncoding; this is as for your first example. I feel you probably need to spend very much more time reading this book.
In the second example you are using a different code page (or other encoding method) to view the data. This is not going to help you because WinAnsiEncoding is fixed in all environments and does not use the code page.
To use greek characters you will need the PDF to
- use fonts which contain greek characters (the built in Courier PostScript font probably does not)
- use an Encoding which references the greek characters. There are no built-in encodings that do this
You cannot make simple cosmetic changes to this file to do this. The style of simplified font with no FontDescriptor can be used only for the built-in 14 fonts, which cannot be used with a greek encoding.
Commonly, a combination of the greek letters in the Symbol font and the Latin letters in another font are used by constant font switching. This is of course only a solution for Greek, not other non-Latin alphabets.

Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install.

Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install? This happens only in Safari. I have tried changing my security preferences but it doesn't help.

missyzz,
which version of OS X is installed on your Mac, and which version of Adobe Reader do you have installed? Did you ensure that all of your browsers were not running when you’d installed Adobe Reader?
To use Preview to open PDFs, download the PDFs to your Mac, and then use Preview to open the PDFs locally. Since you can open PDFs in Firefox, it sounds like you don’t need the Preview workaround.

I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes. Any suggestions?

I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes. Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue?

Thank you! That seemed to do the trick. Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

Can you create an electronic signature in a PDF file using Adobe Reader 9

Hello all:
I am filling out an application that I opened using Adobe Reader 9.
It is a PDF document, and at the very bottom there is a field which is meant for my signature..
Is there away to sign this electronically?
Do I need to scan my signature and place it that field?
Can I sign with a pen tool with in Adobe Reader 9?
Or do I need to print, sign the document, scan my document, and then import as a completely different PDF file?
Thanks in advance!!

That depends.
Are they asking you to put a copy of your actual signature on there or are they asking for a "digital signature"?
They are different things.
