Can't print PDFs since upgrading to 4.0.1. It just does nothing!

Since upgrading, when I view a PDF it doesn't seem to be using Acrobat any more. It displays like a normal HTML page without the Acrobat border. When I try to print or print preview, I get nothing. The printer selection window doesn't even come up.
This happens with old PDFs I have on file that I have used all the time, so it isn't any specific PDFs - it's all of them.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session.
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Problem Printing PDFs since upgrading to Lion

    Since upgrading to Lion on two machines (macbook pro 2011 and imac 2010) I have had a HP CM2320 and a HP M2727 produce the following error whilst printing from Preview PDF documents:
    /usr/libexec/cups/filter/cgpdftops failed
    The PDF documents are many but here is an example,
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26737363/Modified%20contract%20Causing%20error%20in%20pr int.pdf
    The only way I can print is to print using Generic PCL printer driver. Gereic Postscript also causes the problem.
    The problem doesn't occur when printing from Snow Leopard.

    I went to the page of your link: Safari 5 without plugins displayed the pdf page perfectly.
    Then I saved as.. to the desktop.
    Then I opened it with preview, printed pefectly.
    Closed Preview and opened it in Adobe Reader (I do not use Acrobat): printed perfectly.
    I don not have a HP printer but I tried it on Canon Multifunctionals.
    So I conclude: it is not Safari (or a plugin), it is not the document itself, it has to do with the HP driver(s) probably.

  • 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 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!

  • ? Can't print PDF attachments to gmail since installing 11.06

    I am on Windows 7 and Firefox,  Since installing 11.06 I can't print PDF attachments to gmail messages.  I get a (false) message that file cannot be printed, because no pages have been selected.  I tried uninstalling 11.06 and downloading and insatalling it again,  Same result. Any way to download a backlevel version for the time being?  Would appreciate any other sugestions.. 

    Disabling Protected Mode as suggested solved the problem.  It seems to me the impact of Protected Mode should have been highlighted with a warning at the download site.  Alternatively, and in my opinion preferably, Protected Mode enabled should not have been made the default. -shel488

  • I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

    I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

    If you upgraded and were using a version of Acrobat Reader that was legacy, that is PPC compatible, then you will have to upgrade to a version compatible with Lion as Lion no longer has Rosetta to interface with the legacy software.
    I know that Acrobat, full version, 10 works with Lion...use it myself.

  • 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!

  • Can not print PDF

    Can not print PDF from any application (acrobat 5.0)
    "Distiller failed to start up due to an internal error."
    It has been years since I have used my old Mac OS 9.2

    You can use the OS 9 app PrintToPDF http://www.jwwalker.com/pages/pdf.html to create PDF files from other apps files.

  • 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.
    ct_tline is PDF output:
    DATA: lv_pdfsource TYPE xstring.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS:<p> TYPE x. " <p> type any.
    LOOP AT ct_tline INTO cs_tline.
      ASSIGN cs_tline TO <p> CASTING TYPE x.
      CONCATENATE lv_pdfsource <p> INTO lv_pdfsource IN BYTE MODE.
    ENDLOOP.
    * ->Create spool request in PDF format
    CALL FUNCTION 'ADS_CREATE_PDF_SPOOLJOB'
      EXPORTING
        printer  = 'LOCL'            "Printer name supporting PDF device type
    *   DEST     =

  • 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?
