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.

"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.

Acrobat std. 6, and reader 9 conflicts HELP!!

Hello,
I have a client who has both acrobat standard 6.0 and acrobat reader 9.0 on his machine.
he needs both as the standard was set up for printing to networked printer in his office, by the printer's sales team.
he has no problem when opening .pdf files that are local. the problem happens when he tries to open a pdf web page or should i say a web page with a pdf file embedded in it. the computer wants to revert to acrobat standard and not use 9.0 to open the file.
i can not find a solution to this problem. i have looked in control panel/folder options/file types and have changed a few things, but to no avail.
any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.
paul

Unfortunately you have found one of the many reasons why having both on the same machine is neither recommended nor supported. It looks like you have tried most everything there is to try.
The only other thing I can suggest is to go in to Task Manager and be sure that Standard is completely shut down before trying to open a PDF through the web browser. Of course that will be a pain to do every time...

Adobe Acrobat Std 8 vs. Adobe Acrobat Std 9/Email with Reader

As far as features are concerned, what is the difference between Adobe Acrobat Standard 8 vs. Adobe Acrobat Standard 9. I do not use Adobe but I work in the IT dept (helpdesk) and one of our users asked me this question. I tried checking the website but could not find anything about it.
Also is there a way to e-mail a single page from a PDF document that contains multiple pages with Adobe Reader 8 or 9?

No.

User can't print from Reader, tried multiple troubleshooting steps

Working with a client who can no longer print from Reader (v11.0.10). Windows 7 Pro x86 machine. Tried printing after each of the following steps:
Rebooted PC
Restarted Print Spooler service
Uninstalled/Reinstalled Reader v11 (from fresh download)
Set PDF/A option to "Never"
Set Advanced option for "Print as image"
Uninstalled v11 and installed v10 (from fresh download)
Set v10 option to "Print as image"
In each instance, the printer queue shows no activity following a print command from Reader. No document is hanging or even appearing in the queue.
Test prints from other applications (MS Excel) and from the printer properties Test button both work flawlessly. When test printing from other apps, the documents are briefly visible in the print queue.
She gets no error message. It simply does not print. Have attempted with multiple documents and sending to different printers.
Next step is going to be installing third-party PDF reader software and scrapping Reader altogether. Please advise if there are any additional troubleshooting steps before abandoning this product.

No dice. Tried disabling protected mode and still could not print.
Installing Foxit Reader (http://www.foxitsoftware.com/Secure_PDF_Reader/index.php) so at least user can print PDFs. I will keep monitoring this post for any further suggestions anyone may come up with.

Why can't I open printer properties from Reader

Hi markndi56,
Can you please let us know exactly what task you are trying to perform with Adobe Reader?

How can I export from Excel to pdf using Acrobat Std to achieve uniform page size throughout the whole pdf document?

After exporting the whole workbook to a single pdf file, page sizes are inconsistent. When viewing the document in full screen, some pages show up as 25% zoomed, others as 34%. I could re-print the exported pdf file to pdf in Acrobat Std, and that way I could get the same page size throughout the document, but then I loose my bookmarks, which I don't want.
I have already set the page size to A4 in Excel, but that's not where my problem lies. any help, hint is appreciated.

A good place to start is Karl Heinz Kremer's blog, where he has a few examples:

Cannot print with Reader 8.1.1 - But other (pdf) software can !

I opened a pdf document with Acrobat Reader v8.1.1 and tried to print it.
When I click OK in the print dialog then
immediately a dialog pops up informing me:
"Unable to start print job. Is printer available?"
Of cause it is available. I just selected it in the drop down menu!
I tried to start the print several times - without success.
The same bug occurs with other printers I selected.
So it must be a general printer recognition problem from Reader.
On the other side I can print the same pdf (and others) on the Laserprinter from other tools (e.g. from FoxIt Pdf tool).
So this must be a bug in Reader. Why does Reader recognize but not start the printers ?

Can't print with Reader 10.1.4

Since downloading an update to Reader on Aug 24, i can no longer print (wirelessly) a PDF from Reader. My current version is 10.1.4. ALL of my other printing works with all other applications. Only problem seems to be with Reader. I have uninstalled reader and re-installed. Still bad.
Any suggestions?

I had the same exact issue. When I went to uninstall Adobe I received a message that I first had to close "Microsoft Windows Search Filter Host." This led me to believe there was some kind of conflict between the two. I went to services.msc and stopped the service called Windows Search and then tried printing from Adobe. All of a sudden it worked. I went back in and started the service again and was still able to print. I hope this is what you're dealing with as well and can utilize the same fix. Nothing else worked for me.

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

Anubha,
It worked! Thank you so much.
I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
program...', it worked like a charm.
Again, thank you!

Can't buy Acrobat Std. 11 through website.

I'm trying to buy Acrobat Std. 11. (upgrade for $139) However, I get an error message when I do this online. Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure you have cookies enabled and clear your cache. If it continues to fail try using a different browser.
Google Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin. See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html
The issue is related to browser.
Please refer to : jrun error 413 header length too large

Hi!
This is a possible solution to your problem.
import java.io.*;
class AddressExtractor {
 public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{
 //retrieve the commandline parameters
 String fileName = "default.html";
 if (args.length != 0) fileName =args[0];
 else {
 System.out.println("Usage : java AddressExtractor <htmlfile>");
 System.exit(0);
 BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(fileName)));
 StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(in);
 st.lowerCaseMode(true);
 st.wordChars('/','/'); //include '/' chars as part of token
 st.wordChars(':',':'); //include ':' chars as part of token
 st.quoteChar('\"'); //set the " quote char
 int i;
 while (st.ttype != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF) {
 i = st.nextToken();
 if (st.ttype == StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD) {
 if (st.sval.equals("href")) {
 i = st.nextToken(); //the next token (assumed) is the '=' sign
 i = st.nextToken(); //then after it is the href value.
 getURL(st.sval); //retrieve address
 in.close();
 static void getURL(String s) {
 //Check string if it has http:// and truncate if it does
 if (s.indexOf("http://") > -1) {
 s = s.substring(s.indexOf("http://") + 7, s.length());
 //check if not mailto: do not print otherwise
 if (s.indexOf("mailto:") != -1) return;
 //printout anything after http:// and the next '/'
 //if no '/' then print all
 if (s.indexOf('/') > -1) {
 System.out.println(s.substring(0, s.indexOf('/')));
 } else System.out.println(s);
}Hope this helps. I used static methods instead of encapsulating everyting into a class.

I am using reader 11.0.10.32 in Win7 Professional 64 bit. I am unable to print from Reader. After selecting print all pages, the progress bar goes through the proper page count. After that a pop up window appears with the message: The document could not be printed. After pressing the OK button that pop up closes and the next pop up window appears with the message: There were no pages selected to print. After pressing the OK button, the pop up closes and the pdf document is still visible in Reader.
I can print from other programs to that printer. I can print from Reader to other printers.
I was able to print to all printers before. I uninstalled Reader and reinstalled it from the Adobe web site.
Any suggestions to make it print?
Thanks.

Charactersvisible in preview but not printed from Reader

Hi,
System: Mini Mac, Canon MX870, Adobe Reader 11 (up to date)
When downloading pdf from our uni web site (exam candidate lists etc) the document prints faithfully from OS Preview but printing directly from Reader causes character loss (such letters as y, and others). I know the work round with print as image, and Preview works as well, but just wondered what I have to tweak in Reader to get documents to print (AR is up to date).
Many thanks
Mevado

Hi,
Sorry, would like me to send a link? Or is this some arcane function I should try? Sorry to be faecitious, unfortunately the file is covered by German confidentiality laws, as it is a list harvested from our internal internet site with names of candidtaes for an exam. I can try to modify it a little to remove potentially sensitive information. We have very strcit laws on privacy and personal data in Germany, at least as far as public institutions are concerned.

Acrobat XI crashes when printing, even Reader crashes when printing.

Tried:
Reboot, reinstall, clean and reinstall. Tried calling help desk. Tried updating, tried repair option. Tried windows different compability settings.
Have windows 8.1 And the acrobat pro XI and the reader keeps crashing on printing. It is not just that it doesn't print. The program crashes and windows shuts it down.
It also crashes if I try to open the settings menu.

Hi rogga,
Thank you for posting on the Adobe Forums, is the behaviour specific to a file or a set of files, or it crashes with all the files?
Also, you can try creating a new file by printing to Adobe Pdf printer and see if it crashes.
If it still crashes, you can go to event viewer and get the logs for further assistance or you can try running your system in diagnostic mode to check, if it is related to third party service running in the background.
Thanks,
Vikrantt Singh

Can BI Publisher read the images from the Database?

Hi All,
Can BI Publisher read the images from the Database?
if yes how it can be achieved?
Thanks
Aravind

Hi,
There is an example in oracle db. Use the schema PM (Print Media).
Select the corresponding table that contains the column AD_PHOTO.
In your RTF template simply to print the image stored in the db use:
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg"> <xsl:value-of select="AD_PHOTO"/>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
RUn the RTF template and it should show you all.
Cheers
Jorge

Printing from Reader

I'm frequently having problems printing PDF's downloaded from the web, most often statements from my LL Bean credit card account. I'll download the PDF, open it with Reader, send it to the printer, and then it just hangs up. The progress bar for the printer just keeps on scrolling and nothing gets printed. I'll then open the same PDF in Preview (Mac OS Mavericks 10.9.1and it will print fine).
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to why I'm having a problem printing with Reader?
Thanks!

Michael, thanks for your suggestion.
I tried deleting the preferences as well as all of Adobe Reader and reinstalled. Same problem!
I am having a hard time believing that it's the printer subsystem since it prints fine using Apple Preview. If I can't get a solution in a reasonable time, I will probably scrap Adobe Reader altogether and stick with Preview.
