Cannot print a PDF

When i try to print a PDF it freezes the cursor and computer at the point when the printer starts to show its progress. I then have to force a shut down. , At times I see a message that says: page not selected.

I suggest the following:
Click "File" and choose "Print Setup". 
Check to make sure that "A4" is selected (if that's the paper size you're using).
Then click the "Properties" button. This should take you to your printer setup. it will depend on which printer you have as to the menu layout, but you should be able to see a tab called "Page Setup" or something similar.
Check to see what's been configured. Ideally, you want "Portrait" and "Normal size printing".
If all appears to be well, go to "File" and then "Print". This should display a picture of what you're about to print together with the settings which have been enabled. I suggest you checkmark "Current Page" which will just print the first page.
If it appears smudged or distorted, there should be a "Maintenance" tab as described in step #3. In there, there should be one or two cleaning options.
After you clean the heads, try printing a page again.

  • Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1
    I can print anything else from either the Desktop or Start but not a PDF.  No error message but just does not print.
    Update: down loaded Adobe Reader which runs on the desktop so when I read a PDF file it now runs on the desktop and I can print it.

  • I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader with Mavericks!

    I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader.  I tried on both MacBook Pros we have here, both now with Mavericks.  Error message says "Opening printer connection failed.  Unable to open printer connection . . . "  This is after it says sending data, printing, shows the percentages etc., but then at the end I get the error message above.  I can print a PDF (same one) from Preview, but not from Acrobat!  What's going on?  Never had this issue before Mavericks . . . Please help.

    That DLL is part of your printer driver; reinstall or update the device driver for your printer, and the message should go away.

    I have the same problem, I cannot print ANY PDF file from my Mac running 10.8.5 Mountain Lion and using Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.4 I have verified that all files print properly when printed from within Preview or within Libre office. There is no option in the Mac Adobe reader to reset the installation like there is on Windows. I have also tried deleting reader completely and re-installing and the same behavior.

  • Why I cannot print a PDF with markups?

    We use Acrobat Standard 7.0.8 and cannot print a PDF document form with markups. We found a "quick fix" to print it, which was to select in the print dialogue to print Document and Markups.
    Question:
    Because we've sent the form to our clients, they several have reported this about the form. Do you know why this would happen? Is it that they are using a different version of Adobe? Or what is the problem?
    Joe

    That's the way the application works. If you think the default should be to print the markups send a feature request to Adobe, but I doubt it will happen. You just need to explain to your clients how to do it. It's quite simple.

  • Cannot print a pdf file when the pdf file is opened in another window

    Running FF8.0 I cannot print a pdf file when the file is contained in a separate window opened by the appl (not just another tab). Options -> options -> applications all point to Use Adobe Applications in Firefox. I've had this problem in 7.0, 6.0, etc but I believe I was finally able to print these external browser/adobe windows somehow. Printing a pdf file shouldn't be that tough. When I run into this situation, file can be printed from the external window by IE.

    Check the document properties (Security) for this file in Adobe Reader; perhaps printing is not allowed?

  • I cannot print adobe pdf documents as it is password protected. I forgot my password. How do I fix this problem?

    I cannot print adobe pdf documents. Password protected. How do I fix this problem?

    You'll need to remember it or recreate the PDF from the original file.
    If there were an easy way to get around that, passwords wouldn't be worth much.

  • Uninstalled epson printer from control panel...installed new brother printer....now i cannot print anything .pdf old or newly downloaded

    uninstalled epson printer from control panel...installed new brother printer....now i cannot print anything .pdf old or newly downloaded@

    For starters, what exactly do you mean by "cannot print"?
    Are you getting an error message? Are you trying to print from within Reader or are you opening these in the browser? What version of Reader. Even though it's a new printer, the drivers that came with it (or the ones that were already on your computer) may be old so, have you downloaded the most recent drivers from the Brother site?

  • PDF portfolio cannot print all pdfs

    Hi,
    [system: win xp, acrobat 9.3.1]
    I cannot make acrobat print all pdfs in a portfolio. The user wants to be able to select multiple pdfs in the list in the portfolio and print - and I would expect Acrobat to be able to do that, but cannot make it work.
    To test this issue i produced to pdf in acrobat. Use create new from blank page. no#1 is 1 page no#2 is 2 pages.
    In acrobat click combine to single pdf > portfolio. I save my new pdf portfolio to the filesystem.
    I open the portfolio and select both pdfs and click print icon. I only see 'All' in print range and NOT 'All pdf files' as other users explain they do
    (for example in this post: http://prsync.com/adobe/batch-printing-pdfs-and-other-files-using-acrobat--19267/)
    Hope someone knows whats missing and how to solve it??.

    Did you follow the instructions on the website you gave in your post? In particular:
    You don't have to print all the PDFs in the portfolio. If you click the List View button, you can then CTRL-Click to select just the files you want to print. Then, choose File> Print and Acrobat will only print the selected files

  • Adobe Pro 9.5.1 Update Now Cannot Print to PDF

    Since the update to 9.5.1 from 9.5.0 I can no longer print to Adobe PDF from any program.  I have reinstalled the update, ran the "Repair Adobe Installation" and still cannot print to a pdf.  It hangs at the point where you would be asked to name and save the pdf file. 
    I need a solution please!

    Since you apparently have the Adobe PDF printer, try printing to file from the print menu (just a check box). If that completes, open the file in Distiller to complete the process. Assuming success, you will need to check for AcroTray running in the background. It is necessary for the printer to work properly.

  • Cannot print to pdf with Acrobat 8

    I have just gotten a new laptop and moved my CS2 over to it. Everything works fine except I cannot print to a pdf like I used to. I can save as a pdf, but when I print to Adobe pdf, the printer icon pops up in the system tray. When I click on it, the window displays the print job with status: Error-sent to printer. It's the same thing when I try to print a web page or a Word document to a pdf.
    By the way, this version of CS2 came with Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 on seperate disks from the CS2 installation disks. Thanks in advance for the help.

    And by the way, I did look at my startup folder. The following items are checked:
    Adobe Acrobat Speed Launcher
    Adobe Acrobat Sychronizer
    Adobe Systems, Inc. Gamma Loader
    AcroTray - Adobe Acrobat Distiller helper application

  • Since I upgraded Firefox, I am having printing problems. Yesterday I couldn't print checks from Quickbooks. Today I cannot print a pdf. HELP!!

    I called QB yesterday and they had me download an add-on and now I am wondering if I need to do that for Acrobat?? Someone emailed me a PDF and I cannot print it.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
    * [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
    * [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
    Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • I cannot print a PDF document

    I cannot print a full PDF document from my computer. I open the document and select my printer and click print and I only get the first page. I tell it to do a range of pages and I sometimes get the first 2 pages. Can anyone tell me if there is a setting somewhere that I can change to get this to work. I have downloading the document and saving it to my computer and then printing, and still no luck. This is becoming VERY frustrating.
    Thank you for any help you can give.

  • Cannot print my pdf's the printer say its the wrong page size?  Powerpoint Word Excel are all fine

    Every time I try to print a pdf my printer now says No paper-Custom Size.  It used to work fine and other programs work fine.

    I had this problem.  The error message said that this document cannot be printed and after clikcking ok, another message said that the page wasn't selected or something like that.  I went to Programs and Features in Vista Control Panel and deleted Adobe Reader 9.  Then I rebooted and went to adobe.com and installed the 9.1 version.  Now, I can print my documents.  I hope this helps you!
