Can't print pdf new Adobe X last week

Last week my Adobe reader disappeared. All my pdfs were blank and the program seemed to be blank as well. I tried to reinstall/update using firefox, but was unable. I installed using explorer. I can't print my pdfs now! What should i do?

Hi Kappy, thanks for your response.
I have downloaded adobe reader 7 and got it on the Panther system (version 8 won't download from Adobe's site.) I looked in preferences and can't see anything about printers, but maybe I'm missing something? In Printer Set-up Utility, when I go to add, still no appearance of a pdf printer..

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'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.

Can't print pdf - no Adobe in printer menu

Hello,
Firstly I should explain that my computer is running OSX 10.5.3. One of my applications doesn't work properly on Leopard, so I recently installed my old Panther (10.3.7) onto an external drive and boot off that in order to work in that programme. As suggested by Apple Discussions.
This evening I was trying to print as pdf (print to create a pdf) but there's no Adobe printer showing in the printer menu and, I can only assume consequently? the pdfs aren't quite right. I'm printing technical drawings, so the lines etc. need to be correct, but the pdf image seems a bit corrupted. This is a simple process that works fine in my current OS, and I used to do it fine when Panther was installed conventionally on this computer..
But really my main query is why there's no Adobe printer showing up, and is it possible to add one. I downloaded the adobe reader 5.05, but when I ran the installer it said installation couldn't proceed, no system folder.
I'm stuck because I can't open the drawing files in Leopard, I can create them in Panther, but not create pdfs (which is an important part.) Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thank you,
Louise

Can't print pdf files after upgrading to Adobe Reader XI

Hi,
I can't print pdf files after recently upgrading to Adobe Reader XI.
Two error messages appear:
1.- Error when starting the application because it couldn't find LXBBGF.DLL. Re-installing the application can solve the problem.
2.- Can not load "LXBBPRP.DLL". Using defaults. Error: 126
I can print other files (word, etc) with the same printer.
Thank you for your advice

Hi Pat,
Finally I followed the instructions from another similar discussion on this web site. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore...
I first uninstalled the Adobe Reader XI and then intalled an older version (Adobe Reader X). Now I can print pdf files!!
Thank you anyway for your advice!

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?

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.

Can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X

I can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X. I get this message:
Warning: Distiller will not process .Log, .PDF or .JDF file extensions
What do I need to do to be able to open .pdf files? I could open them previously.

What are you getting the message in response to? Was this a creation of a PDF that resulted in the message? What are you using Distiller for? Distiller can only open PS and EPS files for processing to create a PDF.
PDF files are opened in Acrobat. For opening PDFs, Distiller has nothing to do with the opening. So I really have no idea. It sounds like you may just be having a creation error since you mentioned a log file. If you were creating a PDF, have you checked the LOG file for the errors? The log file is usually located where you were going to create the PDF, but is created as Distiller processes the file (part of the general Acrobat creation process) and is deleted if successful.
If you were trying to create, go back to the original application and print to file with the Adobe PDF printer. Then open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. Any errors will be shown in the window and an indication if the PDF was created or not.

Can not print PDF file at all with Windows Vista

I have Acrobat Reader 9.3.2. I am working off of Windows Vista on my laptop to a network wireless printer (Brother MFC 9440). I am unable to print pdf files. About a week ago, we had problems with our printer printing anything. I had to uninstall it and reinstalled it and it now works fine except the pdf files. I have had no problems printing any other files on any other programs but this one. I am unsure what specific "updates" I ran while trying to figure out printers issue. When in Reader, everything seems normal. When I hit print, the printer box pops up as normal and then I hit ok, my printer icon at bottom pops up for about 5 secs and nothing happens. I know that I am connected to printer due to all other programs can print. I do not have access to another printer to see if pdf will print on another printer, but do know that the other two computers used in this office (mac laptop and mac desktop) both are able to print pdf files to this printer without a problem. I have gone thru all the other help steps to try to resolve the situation: it still will not print when I hit "print as image", made sure that my printer is marked as network and is default printer, made sure to check that I have all upgrades, etc. I am not getting any error message, so am unsure what is wrong. It just will not print. Is there anyone that could give me some suggestions that I have not tried? I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanks!

Another user experience exactly the same issue with vista and printing from Adobe reader.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/642000?tstart=1 Its copied below as a reference.

Can't Print PDF

I have Windows XP and an HP Photosmart 5510 with the latest version of Adobe Reader. Can't print PDFs. Please help!

Could you please let me know the version anyhow.
1. Also, could you please let me know if the Print dialog pops up or not? Does Adobe Reader exit after clicking the Print button on the dialog?
2. Please try printing to some other printer other than the default one.
3. Try Printing after checking the Print to File option (present in the Advanced Print Setup dialog obtained by clicking Advanced on the Print Dialog). Does enabling this option prompt you to save the file?

There have been problems reported with the latest Adobe Reader update on Mac. 
See [[/questions/925119]]
You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox and use the Adobe Reader program or Preview instead.

PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

Orarrp can't print pdf file directly to printer

oracle remote print utility (orarrp) can't print pdf file directly to printer.
we expect orarrp utility can handle ".rrpa" file (i.e. pdf file generated on the application server) by directly print the file to the client's printer, i.e. invoke the acrobat reader on the client side, display the the printer selection dialogue, after confirmation print the pdf file, then the acrobat reader close automatically nicely.
However we are disappointed as the acrobat reader startup and display the pdf file content but does not print and does not close.
After testing the problem several times, there are some findings:-
Finding (A):-
(a) for the success of direct printing of pdf file, a physical path must be provided; we have tried 2 methods:
1) using drag & drop to copy the pdf file directly to the browser
2) open pdf file in the browser directly using browser menu-->File-->Open.
(b) for the failure of direct printing, a virtual path is involved and we have also tried 2 methods:
1) when web.show_document() is used
2) enter the url to the URL bar of the browser,
eg. http://appsvr.com:7777/report/test_printout/APPSVR1094707.rrpa (this is a virtual path/url)
Finding (B):-
(a)when the physical path is used, a temporary pdf file is generated in the same directory where the rrpa file exists in the application server,
e.g. in application server: d:/printout/yyy.pdf is generated for d:/printout/xxx.rrpa when direct print occurs
(b) however when the virtual path is used, there is no such temp "pdf" file generated and direct print failed.
May be when virtual path is used, orarrp utility don't know where to generate the temp "pdf" so direct print doesn't occur.
So, anyone has similar experience or further queries or has solutions, please join.
Thanks for your attention.

Hi,
It is really late to give response this post. But still who ever refering to this post for the same issue this solution is useful for achieving same in background:
Even same can be used in smartforms, for getting spool request in PDF format as well which will decrease the size of file when printing in SAP printer.
