Can't print A4 documents adobe reader 10.1.3

Hi Guys,
I have a strange problem where I cannot change the default page size.
All other programs print ok to A4 the problem lies within adobe reader 10.1.3.
Let me run you through what happens exactly when I try.
I open a pdf document and go to print. I check all the settings and they are all on A4 apart from in the preview pane on the right hand side. It should be 8.26 x 11.7 (A4) but instead it reads 8.5 x 11 (letter).
I try to print and absolutely nothing happens. I have tried different printers.
I have been through all the preferences and settings on my machine but all say A4.
Is this a simple setting that I am missing somewhere? On other machines in the organisation the correct size displays and therefore print with no problems.
I hope someone can help me.
Cheers.

I'm having a similar problem.  What I'm trying to do is print a Microsoft Word 2010 document with paper size A4 to Adobe pdf document paper size A4.  I select "A4" for paper size in word and then print using Adobe print standard settings.  What I get is an Adobe document in 8.5 x 11.  This is an issue because these are patent documents for electronic filing in WIPO and they must be in A4 size.
If I select other sizes in Word, such as A3, Tabloid, and Legal, the Adobe file is in the same paper size.
If I print a Powerpoint document in A4 to Adobe, the Adobe file page size is A4.
If I print an Adobe file in 8.5 x11 to Adobe A4, the second Adobe file is in A4.
Any help?

  • 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.

  • Can you print comments in Adobe Reader 8?

    I have a PDF document that has several comments ("sticky notes") added to it. I need to be able to print the document with the comments. However, I can't seem to find a way to do this. I've been searching online, but still can't find a solution.
    I have gone into print settings and selected 'Document and Markups', but still the comments don't print. Another site said to go to Edit > Preferences > Commenting > Print Notes and Popups , but I don't have a "Commenting" option.
    I don't understand why I would be able to add comments, but not be able to print them. I've checked the security on the document, and it's set as "Commenting Allowed". So I'm all out of ideas. Do I have to have Adobe Professional in order to print comments?

    Hi, I found this on Adobe's site. Give it a try.
    Cheers,
    Jenny
    Windows:
    In order to print comments from Adobe Reader 6, 7, or 8 you need to change a registry key. Please note that you edit the registry at your own risk.
    Open the registry editor and browse to the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ADOBE\Acrobat Reader\6.0(or7.0, or 8.0)\Annots\cPrefs
    Double click the 'bprintCommentPopups' key and change the value to 1
    For Adobe Reader 8 you will need to add the key manually.
    Add the following Reg key:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\Annots\cPrefs]
    "bprintCommentPopups"=dword:00000001

  • Can't print PDF with Adobe Reader 10.1.12 and Mac OS 10.7.5

    I can print other things from this computer to my printer but not PDFs. Have been able to for years but not now. "Print as image" works but print quality too low.
    Using HP Laser Jet P3005dn
    Very frustrating. Have not gotten anything from apple, HP, or adobe communities.

    Went back to HP.com and this time was able to see and download latest driver and firmware for HP LaserJet P3005dn  Installation of new firmware was done thru the HP Printer Utility application on my iMac OS 10.7.5
    I was able to choose my printer and then upload the firmware file from the iMac to the printer. This has completely solved the problem!
    Thank you ~graffiti Not sure why I was not able to access the driver and firmware earlier from the HP site but eventually I found it.

  • Running Safari 6.0.3  When trying to print files using Adobe Reader 11.0.02, print preview screen is all black.  If files are attached to an email, receiver can't open it.  It does work OK in Firefox 19.0.2  Any ideas?

    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.

  • Printing problem with Adobe Reader 10.1.9

    I received a PDF document that I opened in Adobe Reader.  The document contains a pop-up note (which contains a scanned image of a signature).  When I print the document, the pop-up note signature is not printed.  How can I print the document with the pop-up note containing the signature?

    I'll add that we are running Apache webserver. I will post the documents to an IIS webserver and test the results. Also the following is the simplest of html pages to recreate the problem. I am simply testing this running it as a static page off of my desktop yet with the PDF documents hosted on the apache server.

  • I can't print PDF docs since Reader XI update

    Help!!!!!!!  I can't print PDF documents since updating to Reader XI.  Had no problems before this update.  I have read other users posting and tried one "fix" that was suggested suggesting user try to print docs as "image," but that choice was not active to select.  I can't print even older PDFs that are on file in my computer.  Please advise - this is interfering with my business.  Thanks.  I get an error message indicating "no pages selected to print" even though it defaulted to Print All.  I selected by one page, pages 1-5, etc. with no success.  Windows 7 system.

    Pat, that did not fix the problem.  I still get the messages that the document cannot be printed and that no pages are selected; the print dialogue box shows that “all” pages are selected.  I get the message even if I manually select “pages 1-7” etc.  I tried deleting Adobe and reinstalling it but I get a 1311 message that seteup.exe cannot be located.  I tried downloading just the Adobe Reader printer drivers from your site and get a message saying that the download was not successful.  Please help.

  • Disable Printing Dialogue in Adobe Reader

    I'm looking for a way to totally block/hide the printing dialogue in Adobe Reader 7.0.
    As far as I know the only way to do this is to drop a script in the JavaScript folder to manipulate the whole application (catching the application initialization event). Is this right?
    I can't create my own dialogs and printing methods via an embedded script because I'm dealing only with the Reader.
    Can anyone provide some hints how to realise that?

    > I can't create my own dialogs and printing methods via an embedded script because I'm dealing only with the Reader.
    You can still develop plug-ins for Reader that will override the standard print dialog and replace it with your own. There is a document called "Developing for Adobe Reader" that comes with the SDK. Find it here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/reader_overview.pdf
    With JavaScript, you cannot prevent the print dialog from coming up if the user click on File > Print or the Print button.
    You can, from a folder-level script, create your own silent print function, but you cannot replace the existing print functions with it from JavaScript. This can only be done from a plug-in. You could create another button or menu item that calls your silent print function, but the original interactive methods would still be there for the user to use if they wanted.

  • I'm getting a lot of 'Photoshop can not print this document' errors

  • Elements 12, Epson Artisan 1430, "Photoshop can not print this document"

    I recently upgraded to Elements 12 and also got a new printer, Epson Artisan 1430. I got some great prints and then one day, it stopped working. Elements error. No error number just a message, "Photoshop can not print this document" I tried restarting the program, the printer, and the computer. No luck. Tried different graphic files; no luck. The printer works with all other programs beautifully. I cannot find help anywhere on Adobe forum. Running Windows 7

    John, I deleted the printer and deleted those folders and reinstalled the printer using the printer menu. When I tried the apple software update it said my software was up to date and didn't offer an option to get updated print drivers. I tried printing again and the same thing happened.
    Syd,
    I am trying to print from the Macbook to the Artisan entirely over a wireless network. The Macbook has not been plugged directly into the printer or to the router at any point in this. I did try what you suggested, resetting the printing system, and as earlier it did not offer any software updates when I looked for one. I tried printing again and the same result.
    I dug around some more directories and found some more files with the epson name in there and deleted those and then attempted to reinstall using the printer setup page, and then again tried a software update and again it didn't find any new drivers, and of course the same printing error occurred again.
    It sure appears that the MacOS is holding onto drivers somewhere that I cannot discover because when I reinstall the printer it takes it all of 3-4 seconds to install, and when I try to do the software update it is not finding any new drivers anywhere.
    Syd, I agree that there seems to be something specifically corrupted about the printer driver itself, however, but is there another way to remove drivers?
    Should I try uninstalling everything and attempting a USB installation to see if prints that way?

  • Capture print event in adobe reader and show a message

    Hi,
    We have only adobe reader installed on our machines, is it possible to use the sdk to capture the print event in adobe reader? Our goal is to show a message to the users before the print dialog appears and
    as soon as the user prints a document?
    Is it possible?
    Thank you,
    Peter

    You can certainly develop a plugin for Adobe Reader that would do this.
    Plugins are written in C/C++ and, for Reader, you will need to obtain a license & associated key from Adobe to enable that plugin.   Details are all in the SDK.

  • Duplex Printing Problem in Adobe Reader X (Mac)

    My normal printer setting is for duplex printing. However, Adobe Reader X will only print on one side of the paper.. This is on a MacPro under Mac OSX 10.6.6 and Adobe Reader X Version 10.0.1 printing to a Canon IP4500 inkjet printer. Other applications duplex fine.
    Any one else with this problem? Fixes or workarounds?

    After having the problem / aggravation, I went through each area trying to
    learn how to get past it.  Finally, I checkmarked 3x "Don't Show Me This Again" 
    Then I established a default printer thereby forcing Adobe to retain print preferences
    instead of  defaulting to "Any Printer" and losing custom settings
    STEPS I TOOK (you may know of something faster, easier?)
    CTRL P  or  File, Print to receive standard print dialogue
    Within "Printer:"  use drop down to select  "PRINT & FAX Preferences...."
    Note: You can set print & fax preferences thru System Preferences, but for
    now we're here
    Select the printer you will normally use and set up a default printer (for Adobe)
    If the Lock at bottom left is closed it will require the system admin ID and PWD
    to unlock/lock in order to make changes :-)
    Once finished close this (top left)
    You will be returned to this panel
    To the right of the "Printer:" drop down is the arrow that expands your options,
    make sure it is aiming UP
    Middle of screen is "Layout"  Select the drop down and select "Two-Sided Printing"
    Look at the next screen image posted below and you will see there's more steps to
    follow for two sided printing
    Check mark "Print Both Sides"
    By Re-Opening the Drop down now showing "Two-Side Printing", you can of
    course adjust other items while here
    Paper Type/Quality allows you to select items such as print quality, color settings
    Select "Print" (bottom right of screen) to return to Adobe Reader Print Page
    Save time by opening the "Presets:" dropdown and save this as a custom print setup name
       i.e.  grayscale_DblSided, Color_DblSided...
    Finally, Check Mark  "Reverse Pages" to print Back to Front and help Adobe
    not to print a single sided first page and double sided pages for the others... Nice!
    It's time to press "OK" and hover over the printer to ensure Adobe didn't send
    instructions to print your 100 single side pages despite all best efforts
    Since going through this rigamarole I have not had to reset it every time

    I can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet? How to fix it?

    Hi Dennis, thank you for the reply. I have Adobe Reader installed and open. When I click on the pdf documents an error message box opens and says "Error. The document cannot be opened beacause it is not a valid pdf document". Perhaps the pdf's on the USB memory stick are corrupted. I can't open them on the laptop either. I'll reload them and try again.
