Cannot print document - No pages selected - Adobe Reader XI

Using Adobe Reader XI on a Windows 8.1 machine driving a Brother DCP-7055 printer via a network-linked Windows 7 machine to print 16-page document in Booklet format.  This worked well yesterday, but this morning, with no changes to the system, so far as I am aware, I get Cannot print document - no pages selected on both the W8.1 and W7 machines.  Same result trying to print ANY pdf from either machine.  The same pdfs print OK using alternative pdf software (Nitropdf) but I need the booklet format option. Any solutions?  Any suggestions.

That 'Protected Mode' causes so many troubles (hangs, crashes, limited functionality, ...) that I have been recommending to disable it for a long time in this forum.  I don't know if Adobe is aware of the problem; maybe someone should report it officially: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
I personally have never experienced the problem; I have Protected Mode enabled on all my systems.  But there are so many reports in this forum every week that it's clear that something is wrong with it.

  • How can I fix a printing problem: message cannot print document: "no pages selected to print" when printing a pdf file.

    Hi Pat.
    Yes, both of them lead to the very same error.
    I have a workaround, kind of, where I preview the document and select all the pages that are correct (read showing on the pages preview) as included in the 1st screenshot.
    As you can see in the first screenshot, the 5th page seems to be non-existandt, however as I try to preview it from the 3rdP software, it comes up just fine and from there I can print it individually... just annoying when you have 50 pages and 6 of then are randomly not showing up.
    If I try to print the whole document, it simply gives me the 2nd, 3rd and 4th screenshots.
    As for the 3rdP software, as stated in prior posts, it has been working flawlesly for the last 5 years, and has not been updated in any way, shape of form... As you said, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to look into that, however I don't believe the contract for the software maintenance is still in effect...
    Thanks.

  • Cannot print document, no pages selected.

    Greetings.
    I have looked on the forums and found similar issues, however none are actually behaving like mine is.
    Just want to verify that it is (or not) related to Acrobat.
    We have a custom program that creates PDFs with the selections that we make, and open in IE 9.0 (distributed in a Citrix environment, mostly on WYSE terminals).
    Up until recently, but I sadly cannot pinpoint the exact date, everything was working fine.
    Now all of a sudden, we have these "FinalReports" that can't print. Viewing the final report in IE shows all the pages, exept that one is blank, and zoomed in as if the actual file was just a tiny square if viewed at 100%.
    If all the pages are viewed individually, they are all fine.
    Now this is the part where this gets interesting.
    We have the option to reorganize the documents in the custom program. So closing the IE window with the FinalReport in it, we find the page that is blank in the program, move it up one, and Save/Print.
    Viewing the FinalReport again, the page that was blank is now visible, and the following page is blank.
    Repeating the process with the new blank page moves it to the next page and so on, until we get to the last page, at which point the blank just disappears and the whole report can then be printed.
    When we have 5 or 10 pages in the document, it's not so bad, but when there are 50-100, it gets time consuming.
    I'm hoping this all makes sense to any of you, and possibly could shed some light on this one as I am at a loss.
    Thanks.

    Yes, actually it does. Many people haven't yet figured out the new default interface in iTunes 11. To get to the iPad information so you can sync, click the iPad button in the header bar at the upper-right:
    Or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and the interface will then look substantially like it did in earlier versions. If you don't see the menus, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":

  • How can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2?

    how can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2? I need to print a engineering print with lot of information but information is too small in letter size and I don't have a plotter.

    Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
    ZOOMING:
    Zoom into the area you want to print.
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
    If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
    SNAPSHOT
    Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
    Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print. 
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
    To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
    Hope this helps!

  • The "portable document format" icon is a Word 2010 icon, so selecting Adobe Reader as action does not work to display the PDF.

    In the Applications tab -- Content Type -- the "portable document format" icon is a Word 2010 icon (not Adobe), so selecting Adobe Reader or preview in Firefox as action does not work to display the PDF. I can see this Applications difference because my other Firefox laptop has the Adobe icon, and I can view PDFs. Essentially, a PDF is coming in as a Word document -- and the computer tries to open it up as a Word file.
    How do I get the correct PDF icon in the Applications list -- the same way it displays (and works) on my other laptop.

    Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.7 ?
    I think you need to add this to the list of applications and the action to take on the type of content. This can also be managed in the about:permissions page. [[Permissions Manager - Give certain websites the ability to store passwords, set cookies and more]]

    How do I select two-sided printing now that I have Adobe Reader? I didn't know it would change my print function at all and am curious why it does. My HP printer always did this and on the old screen there was a check off box for two-sided printing. Thank you!

  • Won't print because no page selected

    I tried to print, but messages comes back that document cannot be printed because no page selected. I have reloaded software but problem persists.

    thanks Macterral,
    that's exactly what happened. I guess my illustration looked pro enough to be judged as studio work (GOOD! cuz that's my job anyways )
    that's kinda flattering and nice that they are protecting artists... but yeah, i went with a different print service that was less hassle.
    I wouldn't be so nitpikcy about this if they had mentioned something before submitting the prints re: copyright material - but rather than an explanation off the bat, i had to search for teh reason. It took a couple of days before they even told me the print was cancelled and another set of days for feedback from them to the reason why. By that time, i had already searched and ordered from a different service.
    That's too bad, i would have liked using apple's service because iPhoto made it convenient... but turns out more of an inconvenience.

  • Printing Comments (Sticky Notes) in Adobe Reader 9

    Hi,
    I know this question has been asked several times before, but I haven't seen any resolution to this problem. Does anyone know if Adobe is working on a patch/ fix for this problem?
    In any case, my question is this: how do I print comments (sticky notes) using Adobe Reader 9. The following are the responses I have already tried and that have not worked:
    1. Select "Document and Markups" in the print menu. I have already tried this. It makes no difference. The document still prints without the comments.
    2. Go to Edit > Preferences and choose the "Commenting" tab. There is no "Commenting" tab in Reader 9. You are probably thinking of Acrobat 9.
    3. Edit the registry key. Too risky, and since we are working on the client's machine, this is not really an option.
    Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Alas,
    "Commenting" is not an available category in Adobe Reader's Preferences.

  • Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, why?

    Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, it is a problem with the text font Futura T-Bold. How to open it on Illustrator?

    I downloaded the file, and:
    It is not a Photoshop PDF.
    I get the same result attempting to open in Illustrator; mangled font substitution. That's because I don't have one or more of the exact fonts used in the document installed on my computer, and I suspect the same is true of yours.
    The fact that it opens without issue in Reader and Photoshop is essentally meaningless, (or at least it's not an inidication that it also should open without issue in Illustrator, which is what your original post seems to imply). Reader displays the correct fonts because subsets of them are embedded in the PDF for use by Reader. Photohop just rasterises the whole page, so there is no font data needed.
    If you had the fonts, you wouldn't get the substitution in Illustrator. It works that way for any PDF.
