Can't print pdf documents
I have recently upgraded to Leopard and I can't print any pdf's. I can print from preview, text-edit and office for mac. So far I have changed my printer to Epson cx7800 series one from the Gutenprint version, deleted my printer from fax and print and added the above printer, deleted any and all acrobat files or applications I can find and downloaded reader 9-twice, tried printing from readers 7&8 without success, tried saving the pdf as postscript and got an error message that stated "saving a pdf file when printing is not supported" and also got this message when I tried to save from file, unable to open a pdf file in preview because that is also not supported and the choice does not appear in the pdf print menu , downloaded printer package from leopard disc, easyprint from epson, and postscript drivers from adobe and I have tried every troubleshooting suggestion from adobe, epson and apple for printing problems with leopard with no success. Also unable to set preview as default for opening pdf files. I'm at a loss and very frustrated. Any suggestions? Thanks
*Problem solved*; all three of my .pdfs printed! Here is the advice, taken from Adobe's Printing Tips http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=332720&sliceId=1 :
Print as image
At times, you may encounter problems when printing a PDF file. For example, a PDF file can contain damaged content such as images or fonts that cannot be rendered by Acrobat during the printing process. Choosing Print As Image bypasses that rendering operation by sending the printer a rasterized image of the document.
To print as image:
1. Open the PDF file in Acrobat.
2. Choose File > Print.
3. Click Advanced.
4. Select *+Print As Image+* near the top of the dialog box.
5. Click OK, and then click OK again to print.

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.

How do I get rid of this problem so I can print pdf documents?
If repairing doesn't work, then try a clean install. You will need to run the Acrobat/Reader Clean script: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

Hi, After installing Adobe Reader 10.1.10 can't to do several actions. I saw that since version 9. I can't save PDF documents provided by internet companies. The options that appears below, like to save, print, + or -, are flashing all the time and can't do anything. If I click right button in the name of the document, the option save destiny like...is deshabilited too. What can I do? pls urgent. My operative system is Windows 7.
Best to keep the replies in the other post, but I wanted to comment on something you said "I was told that Adobe X is a 32 bit program and that could be why it's running slow." Yes, it's a 32 bit program. No, it's complete nonsense to say that 32 bit programs run slow. There seems to be a general belief that 64 bit is better because, well, because, um, because it's a bigger number so it must be, right? Sorry, I'm not mocking you, but there is such nonsense about this, that I think software makers are having to put a lot of effort into making 64 bit software for no good reason at all.

HP Laserjet pro p1102 kills spooler when printing PDF documents
I have a HP laserjet pro p1102 running on Win7 63x PC.

When checking the spool file I can see that the documents have been spooled to the printer.

Please assist.Hi @UFS-HYRAX,
I see by your post that when printing a PDF the Print Spooler Crashes. I can help you.
Do you have the same results when printing something else, other then a PDF?
Clear the Spool folder and restart the Print Spooler.
How to Clear Current Print Queue In Windows Vista & Windows 7.
Run the Adobe Updates, the latest version is 11.0.09.
Print the PDF file as an "image". From the Adobe print screen, select the button "Advanced", on that screen you see the box for "print as image". Click on that check it. This should resolve the issue.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!

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.

I installed OS X Mountain Lion on my desktop MAC and since then I cannot print pdf documents---I get messages like "plug in failed" or sometimes "no pages selected on printer" when clearly pages are selected
DO NOT USE PREVIEW TO FILL OUT PDF FORMS, IT WILL DESTROY PDF FILES. Sorry, but I had to shout here to prevent damage to your PDF files.
Here is one of the symptoms when you fill out a PDF form with Preview: If you save it and return it to the author, they will not be able to see the text that you've added to form fields - unless they click on a field, which will reveal the contents of just that field. You can recover from this problem, but Preview will also remove other field types, and will actually rewrite your complete PDF while ignoring what it does not understand. Take a look at this blog post for more information about the damage that Preview will cause: Preview.app - Killer of PDF Files -

After installing the update to Adobe Reader 11.0.09 can't print PDF's anymore
After installing Adobe Reader 11.0.09 I can't print PDF's anymore. After click on 'Print' I get the message 'can't print the document', after click 'OK' I get the message 'there are not pages selected'. What's the solving for this problem? Thanks for troubelshooting!
Two obvious troubleshooting techniques are to delete and re-install the printer driver (or updating printer driver) and fixing the installation of Acrobat. Have you given those a try?

There have been problems reported with the latest Adobe Reader update on Mac.<br />

You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox and use the Adobe Reader program or Preview instead.

Hi,
I am trying to print a 11.3MB of PDF file with pictures in it. After printing 4 pages, printer starts to wait green light blinking, and the 5th page comes without half the content, orange light blinking. (I bought two of this model, one for home, one for the office and same for both, airprint or cable, the same...)
The home is connected to wi-fi, the base station is close, a few meters away. It has fixed IP. It seems the printer doesn't have enough hardware sources. Office version is connected via USB.
It seems this model lack the adequate hardware (RAM, CPU, etc.) to print a PDF document properly. What good is a printer if it cannot print a simple PDF file with some pictures in it? I need a solution as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance.Hi @bastun,
I see that you are having issues printing PDF documents. I would be happy to help you.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Laserjet P1102w)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Try printing the PDF again.
If you are still having issues, try printing the PDF as "Print as Image". Print PDF as an image.
Try printing a couple of pages from the printer's manual, to see if to see if you have the same results.
LASERJET PROFESSIONAL P1100 Printer series.

Are you having this issue with both printers, one using the USB connection and the other one using Wireless?

Can't print PDF docs when never an issue before...
Before I updated the Ver. 10 I had installed on my computer, I never had any problems printing PDF documents. Now, I hit the "Print" button and get nothing. No printed document, no "Error" pop-up, NOTHING! I have an HP LaserJet 4050 connected to USB. All are good. I have troubleshooted using Adobe's website, and uninstalled and re-installed Reader Ver. 11 on my computer. I was able to hit the "Print" button on the User Agreement and it printed fine. I can print Word documents with no problem, and even internet sites. Bring up any other PDF document that I used to be able to successfully print, and I STILL get nothing. Any suggestions??
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.
