Cannot Print, no pages were selected to print!

Hi,
I've seen this error message in a lot of discussions online but yet I haven't been able to solve it. I'm running adobe reader XI (11.0.0).
When I print some PDF documents i get the error stating that "no pages were selected to print". When I look at the document properties I see that all the documents that I get this problem with is version 1.4.
When i try to print a document in version 1.7 it works just fine. Is this by design? Can't I print PDF-documents version 1.4 in this version of adobe reader?
Best regards
Peter

I've actually seen a solution for this quite recently, but I don't remember what it was. And of course the forum search is useless...
Can you try if disabling Protected Mode could be it [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Adobe Reader 9.1 Cannot print - No pages were selected

When trying to print a PDF on a new Dell PC using Windows XP, sp3, I get a message in a window that says Document cannot be printed. Click ok and the next message is No pages were selected to print. The All button is selected and the message stays the same.

For your problem, I'm assuming other programs already print without problem. My only recommendation is backup your system, format, install only your OS and printer, and see if that hits it. Get a fresh copy of Adobe reader, maybe off a magazine CD - the downloads off internet are usually only download managers that install themselves on your system and then download the actual program. Stay away - possible errors can creep in. And maybe stay away from the Adobe Reader install package you have at the moment - mark it suspect. Download your printer software anew.
Basically start fresh. If it works then, I'm guessing a software conflict on your old system is the cause, or your install media you used for your old install was corrupt, only 2 of many possibilities.
But the key here is to make a "ghost" backup of your current system so you can go look for the problem afterwards. Of course, I don't even know if there is backup software like ghost out there for a mac.
Also, I think your mac probably has recovery CDs. Avoid those - get CDs of your OS only. Make sure you install only the OS and printer software - possibly even only the printer driver, not the printer software. The newest latest and greatest versions of all of them.
And easiest probably is to put in a different hard disk for this test - saves you from backing up.
My thoughts are that Adobe Reader should work on your system. It's a software configuration issue. So something you've installed is preventing things from working correctly. Especially since your other programs print to the same printer driver without hassle. But your first step is to get Adobe Reader to print again on a fresh start and prove it still can work, then add stuff until it stops working and blame the last thing you installed.
The actual error, as we've learnt, might be completely unrelated to "no pages were selected".
If you've done all that and still no joy, try a different printer with different software. Then try a different printer cable. Then you've got to move on to changing the machine so you can get away from the ports on your current system, but by this time we're at the point of giving up hope, I hope you don't have to go there. Maybe you could install a peripheral card in your system to add a new port, but that's also more of a hassle than it's worth.
Hope this helps.

Adobe Reader XI - No pages were selected to print

Trying to print PDF's in Adobe Reader XI when trying to print the error message "No pages were selected to print" appears. Trying to print from a network printer, the printer itself is a Dell 2135cn MFP PCL6. I'm working on a cloud server and a colleague of mine seems to have no problem with the issue with printing PDF's to this printer.
Took a look into the issue and attempted to save the file to the desktop, print the file as an image and checked all the properties were correct these all seemed to show no effect on the situation. Used CutePDF to build a new PDF and tried that as well which didn't work. Printed a test page to the printer to see if it printed which it did. Seems I'm only able to print from other programs just not PDF.

HI ,
Kindly follow the below mentioned steps:-
On the Print window select your printer.
Click on advanced tab
select Print as an image
Click Ok.
Try to Print

Document could not print because no pages were selected to print

I have indicated page 151-200 to print. receive the error above

With the limited amount of information you have provided, its virtually impossible to find the reason behind this issue.
Please provide some more information as below:
1. Your OS
2. The version of Adobe Reader on your system (Help > About Adobe Reader)
3. The printer model being used.
4. Is the issue specific to a certain PDF or all PDFs in general. Does it happen with: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/acrobat/release-note/release-notes-acrobat-reader/_ jcr_content/main-pars/download/file.res/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.4.pdf

The document cannot be printed. No pages were selected to print.

The page could not be printed, no pages were selected

Hi all. I get the above error printing from Acrobat 9 (not all the time) & have had it both at work & home on different mac's. The pdf will print fine from Acrobat 7.
What I am having to install in my studio at work is both Acrobat 9 + 7 to allow users to print their pdfs (although the installer for 9 states that previous versions must be removed).
I'm sure this has been posted before, but I could not find a solution in the forum so hope someone can help!

Not all pdfs, its quite random. Happens with 10.4, 10.5 &10.6. Gigabites of hd space, any printer.
If you google the error you will find plenty of these errors reprorted, the top hit being one you have answered.
Has Adobe rectified this problem as yet?

I'm trying to print a custom envelope from Address book using one of my groups. I keep getting a No Pages were selected message. Anybody have any Ideas?

Hello, I find that only entries with Home or Work filled in with an address will show.

Adobe reader 11.0.2 "no pages were selected"

Printing web page with select tags in IE9 and a .cfm file-only the original selected option prints

My web page has a select tag and cfselect tags and when I print the page with a different option other than the originally selected option the print for both types of select tags reverts back to the original selection and ignores the new selection. This happens in IE9 and .cfm files but not when the page is printed in IE8 or IE7 modes (tried in the F12 Developer Tools.) It also needs to be a .cfm file. FireFox printed the pages correctly for any combination.
This was done on a Dell and ThinkCentre computers under Windows 7. Also, I was able to reproduce the same problem on an different university web site where a selection box would revert back to the original selection for printing on a .cfm page and would print properly on a .PHP page at the same site.
For my site, I used a print button which calls print() and right clicked and chose print and got the same results no matter which method was used. I only had the right click method on the third party web site.
I know this is probably a bit narrow an issue but, any help would be appreciated.

It appears that it is probably an IE9 bug.
I simplified the problem by turning the page source taken from the brouser of the original .cfm into an html file and found that it would still print improperly.
When I eliminated the various parts of the file I found that it would print correctly only when I removed the first line, the "DOC type" line.
The page will print the newly selected option but then I lose the style sheet.
If it does not work in an HTML file it must be IE. It is not the .cfm. The reason that it did not work for .cfm files, is that they always have a "DOC type" statement.
I have put the issue into an MSDN forum in addition to the one mentioned previously.

InDesign CS2 - Can't print with Page Information Selected..

I am unable to print in InDesign CS2 with the "Page Information" turned on in the "Marks and Bleed" section of the print dialog window. InDesign will do what it normally does when it prints. It goes through each of it's stages and the file reaches the printer. When the printer is getting the information from the Mac it all of the sudden stops. I have run several tests to narrow it down. It is for sure that exact problem and not fonts or images or color profile problems. Is it possible for the font that is used in the page information to be corrupt or missing? Please help. Thank You in advance!

I've got the same problem with CS3. I have to turn off Page Information to print to an HP5500PS plotter but same file prints okay to a Canon Color Printer with a Fiery RIP 800.
I too, think it's a font issue but I can't figure out the exact problem.

I am using Firefox 11 and I am unable to print web pages. I can print PDFs ok. I tried to open the prefs.js file to delete anything that starts with print and I get an error message.

I cannot print web pages. I've tried the solutions suggested like deleting anything that starts with print in the prefs.js file but I get an error message: Script: c:\users\rick\appdata\roading\mozilla\firefox\profiles\iviwh5c1.default\prefs.js
line: 1
Char: 1
Error: invalid character
code: 800A03F6
Source: Microsoft JScript compilation error

When editing '''prefs.js''' you need to use a simple text editor program. WinXP Notepad messes up the line formatting of prefs.js, so I use Wordpad - but you need to save the edited file in a Text-Only format (Wordpad asks about that when you go to save the edited file). I never used Win7, so I don't know if that version of Notepad messes with the line formatting of prefs.js or not.
Another thing - make sure '''''"Hide extensions for known file types"''''' is de-delected in Windows file / folder options > view -> advanced settings. Otherwise Windows may add a .txt file extension that you won't be able to see, and that will break that file in Firefox. '''prefs.js.txt''' won't be recognized by Firefox, when is expecting to find '''''prefs.js''''' .

All of a sudden I have problems printing web pages wwith Firefox 3.6.8 (XP), but printing pdf pages is still fine (printing with other software as well)

Suddenly I can't print web pages with Firefox 3.6.8 anymore, but pdf pages pose no problem - the same applies to printing with any other software

Thanks edmeister for your trouble!
I guess I should have written that I had tried the tips on 'reset printer' and 'does not print to paper at all' before I posted the question - to no avail.
The printer starts as normal: it's the right printer selected, the dialogue window shows the progress of sending the data to the printer - and after that: that's it. It simply vanishes from the queue, and nothing happens.

Button to 'Print This Page Only to a printer of your choosing'

I need to create a button to allow my user to print their current page to a printer of their choosing.
Having them go to file print, etc etc is not an option as it will be used by hundreds of people, and the pdf is hundreds of pages long. (if they just select 'Print' that would be a lot of wasted paper)
Ive been able to locate a Javascript that prints to the Default Printer, but my users change computers several times per day, and the default printer might located on the other side of town!
Here is the script for 'Print this page to default printer' if anyone can assist by altering it to choose which printer, that would be amazing..
Javascript:
this.print(false, this.pageNum,this.pageNum);
Even creating a button to open the print dialog box with 'Current Page' pre-selected would be ok.

You need to use the PrintParams properties to get/set the print UI:
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.firstPage = this.pageNum;
pp.lastPage = pp.firstPage;
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.full;
this.print(pp);
