Can't Print PDF Consistently from Preview Application

I am running OS 10.3.9 and Preview 2.1.0. I have downloaded a PDF file that has 16 pages. I have tried to print the document to my LaserWriter 16/600PS and HP 2510 PhotoSmart All-in-One printers. I can't get pages to print consistently. If I select "all", I may get only the first page. If I select a specific page, I don't get that page...maybe page 1 or nothing. The printer hangs in the "processing" mode. I also try to print from the "Print Preview" view in Print dialog window (not from the main Preview window), but can't get consistent results. Is this possibly because the PDF was an Adobe Acrobat file and Preview doesn't handle the pagination correctly when it was opened? I don't want to have to use Acrobat Reader if I don't have to.

macs don't come with acrobat reader by default
when one get a mac and open a pdf file the build in program called preview opens it
most of us stick with preview because acrobat reader is a rather dangerous program to install

if you type preview in spotlight(the icon which looks like a spyglass) or in the launch's seach you can get to the preview app

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.

My Aunty lives 70 miles away so will not be trying anything else.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

hi there
try the vi
..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

I can't print pdf files from my macbook air

Hi, I am unable to print pdf files from the internet using my macbook air - I have the latest Adobe Reader, but still no help.....thoughts??

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.

Can I print to Tape from Premiere with a Black Majic Card? SDI?

I'm trying to print to HDCAM. Is this even possible? Is there a Plug In I need?

From what I understand you can't "print to tape" from Premiere. What you can do, is set your BM card to take output from Premiere's program monitor and record to your HDCAM that way. FYI, you'll need to turn off your Hardware enabled MPE for this work.

Printing PDF brochure from Preview and only graphics print, no text

Spent 30 minutes on the phone with Lexmark. They said with Windows, you would select "Print as Image" under the advanced printing dialogue. I don't see anything like this in MacOS. If I save the PDF as a PNG, then open the PNG in Preview, it prints fine.

I also had this "no text"-problem with a Lexmark C530dn when printing some PDFs from Preview on 10.5.2. The problematic PDFs all were datasheets and papers I downloaded from sources like SAP. I installed the newest version (2.0) of the C530 printer driver, but it did not help.
Using "Generic Postscript Printer" works, but I loose duplex printing, for example. But printing the documents from Adobe Reader 8.1.2 works, too, and I can use the Lexmark driver and have duplex printing etc.

Can't print pdf's in Preview

My son is having trouble printing an email attachment in Preview, the pages print blank. He has an 2008 15" Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard. I am trying to help him over the phone. Attachment pops up as PDF in Preview, he hits file, print and the print drop down shows the page but when he hits print, blank pages print.
Thanks

I've been having a similar problem with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
I would constantly get messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
If you're printing pdfs from Safari use the action icons on the grey lozenge that's positooned just below centre of the webpage.
Without downloading the pdf, print the pdf file direct from the Safari page using the Print icon on the above grey lozenge.
Saving the pdf by using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page you can open and print this pdf version from your desktop.
I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons. But the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Menu Bar at the top of the screen.

Can not print PDF created on Mac with Acrobat (Win and OS X)

I created a PDF-File from "Pages", using the integrated "Print to PDF function" (OS X10.4.8)
This file can be opened and viewed with Adobe Acrobat on the same Mac and also on another Win-XP-Machine.
BUT: on both Machines (Mac and Win) it's not possible to print it. Only the message (translated in english) "The file can not be printed".
I also tried Print to PDF-X and other Win-Machines, but this does not helped.
Any Idea?

Hi there,
It sounds like there has been security added to this document. In Acrobat you can view the Security setting for the document by going to File > Properties (or Cmd D) and see if printing is allowed.
If it is allowed, then it might be worth checking the cups error log to see if it explains why the document cannot be printed. You will find the log in Applications > Console. Click on the Logs icon and expand the entry /var/log. Then expand cups and click on error_log. This will show the job you have attempted to print and any error as to why it cannot.

Can't print PDF directly from safari!!

When a PDF opens in safari with Adobe Acrobat 7.0. I can't print it off. It will only print a page with the URL of the PDF file on it. I have to physically save the file, then open it in Adobe or Preview to print it.
Just updated to leopard.
Also, the little printing window that usually pops up on the dock when you print something and then quits itself after printing doesn't quit itself anymore. I have to actually select it and quit it myself. It's very annoying.
Thanks

Can you print pdf files from an iPhone

I'm trying to print a pdf attachment from an email directly from my iPhone. Is this possible? Do I need any special cables.

Hello Nikemac2
Any attachments you get via email on your iPhone will need to be 1. Forwarded to your email on your PC/Mac and or 2. Accessed from your PC/Mac
If you use an IMAP account then your email program should be able to access the same emails without any issues.
If your using a POP account. You can try and launch your email app and hope it downloads email your iPhone got. If it does not you need to forward that email to yourself again or maybe an alternative email address you can access on the PC/Mac
Once you have access to that email. Simply open it up in any program that can access the attachment. And use the programs print feature.
Hope this helps. And Welcome to iPhone Discussions
