Cannot get Reader to Print any pdf after reloading Adobe Reader XI. Any ideas on what I can do?

I remove the original file and reloaded but same result. File loads fine but when I try to print, I get print screen, then hit print and progress screen comes up with progress 0%,then I get a message stating "The document could not be printed." Removing and reloading again with same results. Printer accepts pdf print from my IPhone and my Surface tablet just fine. Does anyone have idea as to what I can do to get reader to print?

Try the following settings [Edit | Preferences]
Documents: set 'View documents in PDF/A mode' to Never
Security (Enhanced): disable Protected Mode at Startup

Can't print any PDFs after installing adobe Reader x version 10 - help!

I am using Windows XP professional SP 3 and Google Chrome as a web browser.
Everything worked OK until the upgrade to Reader 10 - I have removed the Adobe reader and reinstalled and no luck.
I am not able to print PDF's from the internet nor within other programs.
What should I do?
Thanks

This helped me out, works perfectly now. (using OS 10.8.5)
Remove from the folder /Library/Internet Plug-Ins:
1) AdobePDFViewer.plugin
2) AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
backup these plugins - just in case.

I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes. Any suggestions?

I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes. Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue?

Thank you! That seemed to do the trick. Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

I can't print certain .pdf documents in Adobe Reader?

When I try to print certain documents from in Adobe Reader XI, instead of going to my printer screen, it goes to a SAVE screen? What is happening, and how can I fix it? I am using a Brother MFC-J460W All-in-One that I just purchased a few months ago, and just download the latest available driver for it. I am using Windows 8.

In the Print dialog click the Advanced button and make sure that "Print to file" is not selected.

Need help to print in PDF format using Adobe Reader with FireFox and a FileOpen plug-in. Can't get anything to work.

You write that you have downloaded Adobe Reader; did you also install it?
What is your OS?
What exactly happens when you try to open a PDF file?

Can't see pdf after uninstalling adobe reader

After uninstalling pdf reader from adobe, I lost possiblitiy to opend pdf documents in safari. Usually, before installing adobe reader pdf documents opened nicely in Safari, with link to download or print a document. Now, all what opens is a gray page, without any content in it. When trying printing, I get blank page. Has anyone encountered this problem? How can I switch to old Safari behavior - native pdf reading ability, present in OSX?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
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 launch Safari and test.
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.

I can't complete any PDF downloads with Adobe Reader

I had Adobe Reader X with this problem then uninstalled X, then installed Adobe Reader XI and still I can't complete any PDF file downloads on Explorer with Windows 8 with out the explorer downloader document page crashing. Then some times when I have the option to "save to" the PDF doc to a download file I can open it from there. Most all existing PDF files open fine.

UPDATE!!!!
I had to fix it my self!!!
No more than just one person (thanks) tried to help me out!
I FIXED IT....
The problem was you could say a self conflict of Adobe reader. The software would not shut down any instances. It just would not quit, weather I had turned off my PC or otherwise. If I tried to run a instance of Adobe reader then failed, then tried again, the number of times I tried would still continue and would not stop when trying to "End Task" with the "Task Manager" in the "processes" section, then when I did succeeded inaddition to "Processes" was more in the "Details" section of "Task Manager" that would not stop!!
I down loaded "Acrobat Cleaner" and ran it immediately selecting Adobe Reader to be removed, after startup of my PC and it removed all installations.
I then proceeded to find all other "Adobe Reader" downloaded files and just dragged them to the Recycle bin.
That then gave me the chance to do a very clean install, and it worked with out faltering.
If you are having any major problems, do a clean out of Adobe Reader of all old versions and install the one that suits your computer.
Acrobat Reader now loads very fast, like I mean very fast!!

Hi Ajlan,
To fix my problem, i uninstalled adobe reader X with "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool", rebooted the server, installed Adobe Reader XI and rebooted again.
For some users, this fix the problem but with some others i had to define Adobe Reader by default again.
I tried without use "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool" before and adobe reader X wasn't really uninstall.
Thanks,

Can't print a PDF doc using Adobe Reader X

Previously had Adobe Reader 8. First time ever experienced a problem in printing a PDF document, message read "you need to install a printer". My printer is installed, can print in Word, Excel, photos, etc. Downloaded latest drivers to my printer, installed Adobe Reader X, opened the document, but alas, it encountered a problem and closed down. So I am still unable to print a PDF document. I've been around in circles trying to find a solution but haven't been successful. Can anyone help?

Normally if I come across unprintable PDF files, first I would check the property to see if it has print restriction. If so, I would turn to a pdf password remover to remove it.
But your case is a little strange, maybe you can try to print with another pdf reader first.
That's all I can think about. Hope it helps.

Trouble with opening pdf after installing Adobe Reader

I am trying to download Adobe Reader. I have already downloaded and installed it. I have completed all the steps. However, when I try to open a pdf, it says that I need to launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License agreement then quit and relaunch the browser. When the installation completed, it did not give me the option to do it. How do I fix this?

You need to do what it says. If you are on Windows (pre-8.0) go to Start>All programs, find Reader and launch it. If on a Mac, go to Applications, find Reader and launch it.
