Cannot print PDF from Acrobat Reader to Canon printer?

Printing was working before but now nothing happens, even not showing up in printer que. From Word, Execl or web page printing is working fine. Reinstalling Acrobat and printer drivers didn't fix it.

Hi ronquaedvlieg,
What is the current version of Reader installed on your machine?
Have you tried to install the latest version, also have you tried to check latest updated driver for your printer.
What is the problem you are facing while trying to print using Reader, are you getting any error. Attach screen shot of the error if any.
Also i moving this discussion under Reader forums.
Regards,
Ajlan Huda.

Can not longer print pdf from Acrobat Reader

All of a sudden I can no longer print pdf files to my printer. It is shared by all the computers in our household and any time I try to print from any of the computers now, instead of printing it creates a prn file instead. I can find no option in the printer properties where selecting or deselecting something to enable or disable printing to files. All the systems are either MS Vista or Windows 7. Though there are commands that allow sending a prn to a network printer, they require a named print server, which we don’t have on our peer-to-peer network.
It is interesting that I can create a pdf file in Photoshop on my system and it will print from Photoshop. I can also print the “problematic” documents for Photoshop, which I only have on one system. But anything created in Acrobat will not print natively from Acrobat reader.

In the Print dialog click on Advanced, then uncheck Print to File.

PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet. The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17. I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI. I did double check for updates on both products and installed them. Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
1) Click ADVANCED
2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
3) Set DPI to 300
4) Click OK
5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

Hi Rodney
Welcome to Apple Discussions
This sounds like one of those "oddities", contributed to by a few sources.
I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
Wondering if you disabled the Safari Cache would the refresh function work correctly? As a test you can disable the Safari Cache by Emptying the Cache first via the Safari menu, then Quit Safari. Now go to the Finder>Your User Library>Caches>Safari. Single click on the Safari folder, then Apple Key + I to open Info panel. There, check the "locked" box. This prevents further additions to the cache. The downside, you lose your ability to upload images etc. within Safari (my cache is disabled, so I use Firefox for the uploads).
Then restart Safari. Try the PDF from within Safari.

Cannot Print PDFs from Adobe Reader

Hey gang-
Just purchased a new Brother MFC-9420CN color laser printer. Works great- with one exception.
I am unable to print any PDFs with it from Adobe Reader. But note this: The very same PDFs print fine using Preview! I initially discovered this problem using Adobe Reader 7.0.5, so I downloaded and installed the latest Adobe Reader 8.1. No Help. I also reinstalled the latest Brother Drivers- no help.
I then went into Printer Setup Utility and did the Reset Printing System- re-added all Printers- but no help. I am running OS 10.4.9 on a G5 iMac.
I've seen this mentioned elsewhere including here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2643378&#2643378
Thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks!
Dave

When you select print from the menu bar a print
window opens. Verify that the correct printer is
selected. Adobe will over ride some defaults and put
in itself. Let me know if this didn't work.
Thanks Glynn, but the correct printer is indeed selected. This is a weird one!
FWIW, here is my CUPS error log:

Printing forms from Acrobat Reader iOS

I love the new ability in Acrobat Reader for iOS to fill in forms. I've noticed that when the filled in form is emailed and then opened in Acrobat for PC that it keeps the form details and allows it to be printed with all markups etc. However, when trying to print the PDF directly from the iOS version of Reader, the form fields and markups don't print. It would be great if there was a way to flatten the marked up PDF in iOS Reader and be able to print it direct from the iPad and/or store the PDF in iBooks. thanks!

Hello Leighdr,
Adobe Reader on iOS currently relies on Apple's AirPrint framework, and directly passes the saved PDF (including the form fields and markups) to AirPrint, which is the reason for your observation since AirPrint doesn't support printing these markups. We have taken down this feature request (to flatten these fields before print) for consideration in a future update.
Thanks for your feedback!

Can't print PDFs from Adobe Reader 7!

A few months ago I started having problems printing from Adobe Reader 7.
I can view PDFs fine. I can also view PDFs online through Safari with the Adobe Reader plug in.
What I've resorted to doing is using Preview to open PDFs that I've saved from Adobe Reader, and I can print fine through Preview.
But that isn't quite a good fix for me!
I can also print documents in other formats from plenty of other applications, so I know it's not a printer-talking-to-Mac issue.
What happens is this - I have a PDF open in Adobe and send it to print. The printer comes up in the dock like its working. After an appropriate amount of time (the time one would expect the document to print), it disappears from the dock as though it is done printing. But no document ever prints. And the printer never displays that it is receiving information to print.
Yesterday I spent a good chunk of time working on this problem to no avail.
I ran "detect and repair" in Adobe Reader but no problems were found.
I threw away Adobe Reader 7 (I think I was up to 7.0.7) and its preferences and other files and downloaded and installed Reader 6. I still couldn't print from Reader.
I installed patches and updates incrementally to from Reader 6 to 7.0.5 by allowing Reader to update itself, but that didn't help.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. That didn't fix the problem.
I tried printing the document through Reader as an "image," but it just crashed the Reader.
I also downloaded and ran "Printer Setup Repair" (something I saw suggested in someone else's post about an Adobe print problem) but that didn't help matters either.
I'm sort of stumped. I'll also post this to the Adobe forums, but from what I've seen the folks over there are not really Mac users.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers!

Ann,
A few more thoughts or your dilemma...You might try looking at your system.log with the utility Console to see if it might give you a clue to the problem. (Not that I understand all the stuff in those logs, but when MS Word and Quark did not produce printouts, the Console log named the problem fonts.)
The culprit may be the Adobe Reader PPD or Plugin. The path to those are HD/Library/Printers/PPDs/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF7.PPD and HD/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/AdobePDFPDE700.plugin. So if you try deleting Adobe Reader stuff again, be sure to delete those docs too, before re-installing.
Note: I use Acorbat Pro 7 so I do not know if the filenames ADPDF7.PPD and AdobePDFPDE700.plugin are the same for Reader, but the paths might be helpful.
Before uninstalling and re-installing both Adobe PhotoShop and Reader, I would suggest that you check the integrity of you hard drive. Overtime, stuff gets out of place and some applications are more sensitive than others. If there is something wrong on the hard drive, replacing the applications will still produce the same problem. Repairing disk is different from repairing permissions. As in my previous post, boot up your computer with your OS 10.3.x Install Disk 1 and launch the Disk Utility app from the CD. Click on Repair Disk...
Hope this helps.

[JS CS3 Win] Export to PDF then auto-print PDF from Acrobat

Hello!
I am working on the script that is exporting pages to PDF, and would like to automatically send exported PDF to print from Acrobat.
I get the scripting part for exporting to PDF, and it's working very well, but I have trouble on the part of the script that tells Acrobat to open the PDF and send it to printer. Script is run from InDesign, so I thought this is right forum to ask.
The following part of the script is working OK on one computer, but on other two computers with similar configuration (CS3. Windows, Acrobat 8) it doesn't work at all and I can't figure out where is the problem:
var printFile = "/c/temp/test.pdf";
var remoteScript = "printFile = decodeURI('"+printFile+"');\n";
remoteScript += "var doc = app.openDoc({cPath: printFile});\n";
remoteScript += "var pp = doc.getPrintParams();\n";
remoteScript += "pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.shrink;\n";
remoteScript += "pp.NumCopies = 2;\n";
remoteScript += "pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.silent;\n";
remoteScript += "pp.printerName = '\\\\hrhqzgw23prn01\\\hr300019ps';\n";
remoteScript += "doc.print(pp);\n";
remoteScript += "doc.closeDoc(true);";
acrobat.executeScript(remoteScript);
I would appreciate any help. thank you.

Hi Mark,
Here is a sample script. It exports the active InDesign document to pdf file, using its base name, to the root of C drive. Then opens the exported file in Acrobat, prints it to the default printer and silently closes it.
Tested on InDesign 5.0.3, Acrobat 8.0.0, Windows XP SP3.
#target indesign
var myIndesignDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myBaseName = GetFileNameOnly(myIndesignDoc.name);
var myFile = new File( "/C/" + myBaseName + ".pdf" );
myIndesignDoc.exportFile( ExportFormat.pdfType, myFile, false );
var myScript = 'var myAcrobatDoc = app.openDoc( "/C/' + myBaseName + '.pdf" );\n';
myScript += 'myAcrobatDoc.print( {bUI: false, bSilent: true} );\n';
myScript += 'myAcrobatDoc.closeDoc( true );';
var bt = new BridgeTalk;
bt.target = "acrobat";
bt.body = myScript;
bt.send();
function GetFileNameOnly(myFileName) {
    var myString = "";
    var myResult = myFileName.lastIndexOf(".");
    if (myResult == -1) {
        myString = myFileName;
    else {
        myString = myFileName.substr(0, myResult);
    return myString;
Short explanation of the acrobat script:
1. Open the pdf file, just exported from InDesign
var myAcrobatDoc = app.openDoc( "/C/' + myBaseName + '.pdf" );
2. To print the document silently I use the doc object’s print method and set the following parameters:
bUI -- Determines whether to present a user interface to the user
bSilent -- Suppresses the Cancel dialog box while the document is printed
myAcrobatDoc.print( {bUI: false, bSilent: true} );
3. Close the document without notifying the user:
myAcrobatDoc.closeDoc( true );

Kasyan

Printing PDF from IE9 doesn't honor printer settings

I am trying to print a PDF from IE 9 and have it honor my printer settings (which are to store to my mailbox on our Canon iR3035 rather than print out). It used to work fine. I found the following bug listed in the release notes for Adobe Reader 10.1 however it clearly says the fix is to update IE which clearly isn't fixing the problem. If I disable protected mode then it works but that isn't what we should have to do for this to work.
Windows 7 Pro 32 and 64 bit
Adobe PDF Reader 10.1.1.33 and 10.1.2.45
Internet Explorer 8 and 9
"Internet Explorer: With Internet Explorer running in protected mode, the user's printer settings are not honored, and the manufacturer's or deployer's defaults are used. This behavior occurs for IE7/IE8 with Acrobat/Reader 9.x or IE7 with Acrobat/Reader 10.x. The workaround is to disable Internet Explorer protected mode, or upgrade to IE8. [2874948]"
Anyone know of another workaround other than turning protected mode off??
Thanks!
Jake

Hi Sonal,
Thank you for continuing to try to track this down. The snapshot you show is exactly what we want the behavior to be however it's not what is happening on our systems here. I'm not sure what else I can provide to try to help reproduce the problem however it is the same on multiple systems. Here is some more info (I apologize in advance for the number of snapshots but I hope they will lend useful info!). Please let me know what else I can provide that would help! These snapshots are from my system which is 64-bit (32-bit systems exhibit the same symptoms).
Adobe Reader is version 10.1.3:
Adobe PDF Reader add-on in IE is 10.1.3.23:

Printing pdf from mac, works once then printer offline?

I print wirelessly to a Brother HL-2270DW from a macbook pro running OSX 10.9.2 When printing from pages, numbers, email etc it works properly but when I print a PDF using adobe reader 11.0.07 it works once and then I can't print again, printer status is changed to offline. I contacted Brother first and this was their reply...
Thank you for taking the time to write to us about your HL2270DW. We will look into PDF issue for you.
Since you have stated that the model is able to print fine from other applications, but is unable to print from PDF, the issue is isolated to ADOBE.
The issue is not related to the model or the drivers because the issue would occur all the time with all programs.
We recommend contacting ADOBE for further support.
If after reviewing the information you have further inquiries about the PDF issue, please reply and we will be happy assist you.
Does anyone have a fix for this?

Hi chocolatebabz,
Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums, kindly try printing as an image. Try the steps mentioned below.
1) Open the file>Print>Advanced
2) Check the box>print as an image.
Thanks,
Vikrantt Singh

PDFs not printing from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8

PDF don't print from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8. The same PDFs print from Preview. I've tried many PDF from various sources (over a dozen including those created on my Mac) in every case they print fro Preview and not from Reader.
I'm currently on OS 10.4.7 but This has been an issue for some time and I believe was the case with Reader 7.0.7.

FIXED!

Adobe Acrobat XI printed to blank PDF from Brava Reader v7.3 on a paper size 100mm x 3000mm

I am on Adobe Acrobat XI and am having trouble printing to PDF from Brava Reader v7.3 to a paper size 100mm x 3000mm. The output is a blank PDF to the given paper size. I was able to print with image from Brava Reader v7.2. However, when I installed a freeware PDF995, it allows me to print to this paper size (albeit with only 600DPI - too low resolution). What is the problem with Adobe Acrobat? Please help?

Is AcroTray running in the background? Can you print to file using the Adobe PDF printer and open the file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF?

Can't print to PDF from Acrobat XI

I'm having trouble printing to a PDF from Acrobat XI Pro (FYI, I'm using OS X 10.8).
Here's what's goin on:
I open the file in Acrobat.
I hit Cmd-P and in the "Printer" dropdown list I select "Adobe PDF 7.0".
I click "Print" in the lower right.
The print monitor icon pops up, but nothing happens. (When I click it to view progress, it just sits there and says "Ready to print", but no matter what I do, nothing happens.)
To clarify, as far as I can tell, this is only a problem when I try to print using the "Printer" dropdown menu and is universal across all applications (i.e. Acrobat, Word, Chrome, etc.). When I select "Save as PDF" within any of those applications, there is no problem at all.
You may be asking yourself "Then why don't you just continue to 'Save as PDF' and forget about the 'Printer' option?" The "why" is not important, so I'll save you my reasoning as it has no bearing on fixing this problem. I'll just say that I have a somewhat frequent need to do it in this particular manner and need to have that option available to me. No offense intended, I simply want to solve to problem without running off on an unimportant tangent.
I'm sure you'll have other questions about my system and what I'm doing/have done, so please ask away.
Thanks so much

I've had the same issue on 10.7 (and, I believe 10.6). Although this point may also be contributing to the problem, I don't suspect that it is the only demon at at work here. However, if you are referring to all versions of OS X that would make some sense since the only print drivers I could find on Adobe's downloads section didn't show support for anything newer than OS 9.2.2
As to your suggestion, I'm not sure I follow what you mean. Here is a screen cap of the dialogue box I'm presented in Acrobat XI. Can you please point out the "PDF Button" you're talking about?
After reading your comment again, am I correct in assuming that you are suggesting I essentially save the document as a PDF, as is usually present in the print dialogue box for other applications? If that is what you are suggesting, I already explained that that is not an option and doesn't solve the problem.
Thanks
