Can't print from acrobat reader

I have a mac mini (2011) running lion. I have the latest version of Acrobat Reader installed. When viewing any pdf file, it works fine. However, if I click on the printer icon, nothing happens. Nothing goes to the print queue. Also, if I hit File>Print, the printer dialogue doesn't appear. Nothing happens at all.
I can print pdf files from Preview, just fine, so I know it's not a printer problem.
I've trashed and reinstalled Acrobat Reader, fixed permissions, rebooted and trashed the Adobe Application Support files from Library.
I'm stumped. I have to have Acrobat, as it's the only program that can open certain government forms. I can't "print as image" since I can't even get the printer dialogue to show up. I'm only having this issue on one machine, so I'm completely stumped.
HELP!

"IF" You are using, OSX.4.11 Try locating , downloading, installing AppleJack (there currently isn't a version for Leopard or Snow Leopard). The to Run Restart holding down the Command-S keys. This put you in Single User Mode (Raw UNIX).
when a screen full of print scrolls through and your left with a Blink Cursor, Type applejack.
simply follow directions. go by the numbers follow them in order they are given.
Now items 3&4 you have to do once for your system, and once for each User Account (name you gave computer when setting up example you gave name as John Smith name for user account would be johnsmith).
Once completed (1-5)  hit return then choose Reboot or Shutdown.
In your case choose r and then hit return.
when it restarts wait, a whole bunch of cache files were dumped. You may even see the "dreaded "Blue screen for a little bit, and bits and piece of the desktop will appear until completely rebuilt.
After rebuilt Try printing.
If that doesn't work. Report back and maybe someone else can come up with an idea.

  • Printing from Acrobat Reader 9.1

    I can not print from Acrobat Reader 9.1 to my HP printer connected wirelessly to my Mac. I can print fine from any other software on my Mac. Tips and suggestions are welcome!

    I'm having the same issue. It all started after upgrading to 10.5.7 and Adobe Acrobat to 8.1.5.
    I have an HP Photosmart C7280 and I am able to print via WiFi from all applications except Acrobat (version 8). However, Acrobat will print 1 page documents, but nothing longer.
    At first I thought it was the 10.5.7 update. I saw in some other places that downloading and installing the combo update worked better for some folks. I did that, but still no joy.
    I did the "Reset Printing System..." thing in system preferences and added the HP back. Still no joy.
    I uninstalled and re-installed the HP software (drivers and all). Still no joy.
    I uninstalled Acrobat and re-installed from CD so I was back to version 8.0. Still no joy.
    I have not re-upgraded Acrobat to 8.1.5, but I don't have high hopes.
    I wondering where the fix will come from. Hard to say that the problem is exclusively Adobe... made two changes to my system (OS upgrade and Acrobat upgrade). I have seen folks that dropped back to 10.5.6 and the problem persisted for them. I don't want to go back to 10.5.6 as I don't have that kind of time.
    Printing from Preview for now.

  • PDFs not printing from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8

    PDF don't print from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8. The same PDFs print from Preview. I've tried many PDF from various sources (over a dozen including those created on my Mac) in every case they print fro Preview and not from Reader.
    I'm currently on OS 10.4.7 but This has been an issue for some time and I believe was the case with Reader 7.0.7.

    FIXED!

    Then added priner again.
    Interesting that the only issue was printing from Acrobat Reader and that this fixed it. Probably deleted and "rewrote" whatever file was at issue.

  • Can't Print from Acrobat 9 Pro on windows 7 64bit....

    I have a windows 7 64-bit computer that can't print to any printer from Acrobat 9 Pro.  When you try to print I get the following error:
    "print driver host for 32 bit application has stopped working"
    Any thoughts, it's driving me crazy....

    I'm having the identical problem and the only way I can get it to work is by not trying to change the title suggested by Acrobat for the PDF.
    If I try printing from Firefox and pasting in a new PDF title, it crashes Firefox.

  • Can't print from Acrobat

    Hello, my problem is that I can't print documents from Adobe Acrobat prof.
    Every time the error "a required resource cannot be loaded".
    I tried to use another printer, another pc. No matter which printer it is every time the same error. On another pc (terminal server) there is no error.
    I have installed the printers again, same error. I have installed adobe cs2 again. same error.
    I tried to print from other cs2 application but there is the same error.
    Anybody who can help ?
    thanks a lot

    I am a bit confused by some of the implications in your topic. You talk about printing from Acrobat, but then it seems like you are talking about creating PDFs (ok, that is reading between the lines). I am not really sure what you are doing. Might it also be an issue of a network printer? What OS; what Acrobat; and what steps are you actually taking?

  • In Windows 8 environment--can't print from Adobe reader

    Hi there. I have problems printing from Adobe reader in a Windows 8 environment. The printing defaul is "OneNote", and I can't get to the print screen to change it to my normal printer. When you try to print (with button or Ctrl-P) the print screen opens for a split second and then Adobe reader closes.
    I would like to disable "OneNote" as the default, but can't get the print screen to stay open long enough for me to select my regular printer. I would be grateful for advice. I am sure there is an easy fix--I just don't know what it is. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe reader, so i was able to print for the rest of that one day. Nest day--back to square one.
    Thanks.

    Did all the updates thru 8.1.7.  Now it tells me to print the document I need to activate Adobe which I did when I installed it.  Under the Help screen the activation tab is greyed out.  If I did de-activate it on my old laptop I don’t think it would change the state of this tab.

  • How can I print from Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8?

    I need to print information from my dropbox that is a .pdf format.  How can I print from ART for Windows8? I can't find the print icon nor does a right click give me the option to print.  I'm using a laptop, not a tablet. (And not loving Windows 8!)

    Please see FAQ: Printing a PDF file in Windows 8.
    If you are running Windows 8 on a laptop with an Intel-based processor, you can install Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI) alternatively.
    Go to your Windows 8 desktop.
    Go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/ in your browser.
    Download and install Adobe Reader XI.
    Launch Adobe Reader XI and open a PDF file.
    Select File > Print from the menu.

  • Can't print from Adobe Reader X

    Whenever I try to print from Adobe Reader I get the message "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close." The error signature is:
    AppName: acrord32.exe
    AppVer: 10.1.2.45
    ModName: acrord32.exe
    ModVer: 10.1.2.45
    Offset: 0005e985
    It does not matter if a PDF file ois on the web and it opens as a web page or if I open a file that is alreadty on my comuter.
    I tested printing from an older version of Adobe Reader and it does not create a problem (that version is coming up when I download files that
    are on my Cloud server.
    What is the solution, if any?

    Kindly try the workaround available at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/928/cpsid_92870.html and this should help resolve the problem
    Thanks,

  • Problem with printing from Acrobat Reader XI

    SInce I installed Acrobat Reader XI I have got problems with printing out pages. The text starts a bit down (2 cm) on the paper, resulting that the last part of the text on the page will be missing. And the missing part does not follow on page 2, it just don´t comes out!
    It doesn´t matter what settings i click in on the print setting page in Acrobat Reader, it always gets the same result.
    Does anyone know what can be the problem?

    No files appeared in C:\Users\Pavilion\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings but they did appear in Distiller.
    I tried to copied them from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Settings, but found they were already there.  I copied them by adding -COPY before .joboptions in the name.  Now they appeared in  Printing Preferences with the -COPY added.
    I tested a print from Word (using File / Print), but was not prompted for the filename or location.  I checked my entire system and couldn't find the PDF file anywhere.  I tried changing the Port to Desktop\*.pdf using Printer Properties, but that didn't work either.
    I was able to successfully use the Acrobat menu item in Word & Excel to create a PDF but it automatically created the file on the Desktop without an option to change the filename.
    After several days and hours, I gave up and installed Acrobat X on the W7 computer.  I can still use Acrobat XI on the W8 computer.  So be it!
    Thanks anyway for your attempts to help.

  • I can't print from adobe reader

    I just installed a new wireless printer.  I can print from all programs except Adobe Reader.  I get a print dialogue box, but when I try to click Print, Properties, or Page Setup, nothing happens. I contacted Epson but they said it must be an Adobe issue.

    Hi Lynn,
    Please let me know what version of Adobe Reader are you using.
    You might also refer this KB file link and try out the troubleshooting steps for PDF printing problems:

    Please check and let me know if the issue still persists.

  • WIN8.1 crashes while printing from Acrobat reader

  • Can't print from Adobe Reader, "no pages selected to print"

    I can't print PDFs from Adobe Reader. I can print from any other program, just not Adobe Reader. When I click "Print", I get an error that says, "The document could not be printed". I click "OK" and then it says, "There were no pages selected to print". Even if I try to print a page at a time, it still won't work.  I have a Mac and my Adobe Reader is up to date. Any ideas?

    You should really ask in the Reader forum. Be sure to indicate the OS and printer you are trying to use, particularly if it is a network printer. Provide information about having installed the most recent printer driver if appropriate. When you open the print menu in Reader, do you have any printers in the list?

  • Can't print from Acrobat std, can print from Reader

    Hi,
    One of my clients has a couple of Acrobat Standard 9 licenses (updated to 9.4.2). 1 of those computers has trouble printing to a certain printer with all pdf files, in fact, Acrobat doesn't print at all. Tried different printerdrivers, different settings, print as image,... nothing works.
    Finally installed a Reader 9.2.1 (only 9 version I still have), and for some reason that one does print the exact same files that the Standard version won't.
    Tried repairing, doesn't work either.
    Anyone got any ideas what might be causing this issue and what might solve it?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Printing from Acrobat Reader Linux is many time slower than from Windows Reader

    The users are complaining to me that same file is printing one page every couple minute under Linux, while under Windows pages from the same file print one after another very quickly.
    Hardware is not affecting that as they are using dual-boot Fedora 14 and XP on the same machines, printing to the same HP LaserJet printer over JetDirect.

    Also, I am noticing that scrolling page thumbnails and flipping pages is many times slower under Linux than under Windows on the same machine, but CPU utilization is very low.
    Can one of the Linux Acrobat developers look into performance issues please?
