Cannot print .pdf from web browser, being prompted to save

We have Adobe Reader 9 installed
It is being run on a Vista OS
User is able to open a pdf file and print to the printer without any problems.
The problem occurs when the pdf is opened in a browser window.
When you select the print button and select to print the document, rather than printing as would be the norm, it defaults to saving to a location.
You can save it, then open what was saved in Reader and print it.
What changes need to be made in order for it to print from the browser rather than try to save?

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.

Cannot View PDF in Web Browser error

Using windows XP sp3 has adobe reader 9 on it...
Installing Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro extended was trouble prone enough, but now there is more...
When trying to open a PDF in a browser window, you get the following dialog error message (sample site:http://support.apple.com/manuals/#iphone)
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
For the cost of this program, I expected better. The above was not a problem before installing Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro extended.
Please advise.
Thanks
bob

I did a google search and found a fix that was a bunch of registry entries that worked for me:

It is just anoying to spend this kind of money on a piece of software and have so many problems out of the box.
Yes, I have run the updater software.
What is the phone number for adobe support?
Thanks

Cannot create .pdf from web pages X Pro

Hmmm. I missing a trick here.
Acrobat X Pro.
Windows 7 64x.
Create web pages from Chrome
So I log into my New York Review of Books account as a Subscriber.
I locate an article that is marked ' locked ', subscribers only - I view it as one entire page.
The whole article is visible - it should be, I'm a subscriber.
I load the URL into 'Save As Web Page ' in Acrobat X Pro
I click on Save. It doesn't save it it truncates the article after two pages placing a Nag Box at the end suggesting I take out a subscription. ( but I have ).
When I attempt this on articles not ' Locked ' they save perfectly in Acrobat X Pro.
NYRB web support are not really clued up on this.
Why does this happen ...surely Acrobat x Pro can create the .pdf from the browser content and doesn't have to go back to the source in these circumstances?
If I go into Chrome and PRINT the same Locked web page to PDF I get a half formatted black and white replica of the article in its entireity ( no Nag Box).
I'm missing something here. Help please.

Acrobat is using the underlying mark up of the rendered HTML page.
This may or may not provide an adequate input to Acrobat when it is noodling out how and what to tag.
I suspect you may find that, to obtain an adequately tagged PDF, you may have to capture the web page content with the create bookmarks and create tags options off.
Once you have the PDF make working copies.
Try letting Acrobat tag this already created PDF to see what happens.
You may have to manually tag the PDF.
n.b., The default read order for western language can be altered by user selections in the accesibility setup or by selection in the PDF page(s) Page Properties.
Be well...

Can't save pdfs from web browser

I recent;y had to reinstll adobe pro on a new computor (purchased here). Now I cannot save pdfs from my web browser. Very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

What browser, and what happens?
Are you trying to save PDF as PDF or create PDF?

***BUG*** Acroread 8.1.2 CANNOT PRINT pdfs from PLOS One...

Hello, after much hassle, I finally determined that my shiny new 8.1.2 installation (which is sweet!) CANNOT PRINT *ANY* PDFs generated by the online journal PLOS One. The CUPS debug output shows that the foomatic-rip renderer *always* dies with an "Illegal Seek (29)" error. These PDFs also CANNOT be printed to PS files -- same renderer error.
I have verified this behavior with several PLOS One PDFs. I have also verified that 8.1.2 *can* print other PDFs I have on my system. So the issue is with how 8.1.2 is handling PLOS One PDFs which may be non-conforming. HOWEVER, I distinctly remember being able to print PLOS One PDFs using Acroread 7. So this is a new problem with 8.1.2.
EDIT2: I dug up the 7.0.1 acroread which was left on my system after installing 8.1.2, and verified that it CAN print the two PDFs linked below. So this proves the issue is a BUG in 8.1.2 and I have filed a bug report with Adobe.
Representative PDFs can be found at the following links:
http://www.plosone.org/article/fetchObjectAttachment.action?uri=info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjou rnal.pone.0003446&representation=PDF
http://www.plosone.org/article/fetchObjectAttachment.action?uri=info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjou rnal.pone.0003309&representation=PDF
...or simply goto www.plosone.org and select any article and then select the PDF link.
The remainder of this post contains the CUPS debug2 log listing for printing a single page from a PLOS One PDF. I have included only the stuff involving the foomatic-rip renderer. Sorry for the length of the log dump... I jumped straight to debug2... :)
EDIT: ok, your forum clips posts *way* too short to let me post the debug listing... so I uploaded it here: http://wolbachiax.googlepages.com/cups_error_log.txt ...Please consider adding attachments support, or allowing long [code] blocks or longer posts.
Thanks,
-brice

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:

Cannot print pdf from Excel. Saving as log file

I am trying to print an Excel page to pdf and everytime I get an error.
I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 and Excel 2010

You printed to Adobe PDF from excel.
There was an error which prevented the pdf from being created.
That log file lists the errors and seeing it's content might enable us to determine why the job failed.
Open the log file with Notepad or any text editor (Word)
Copy that text to this forum

Cannot print PDF from websites

We have about 50 PCs. We regulalry download documents from websites and print them out. But on one PC we are having problems. We can download the document and view it on screen. The problem PC does not have a local printer. Instead it is connected to two printers shared through the main server: a HP 4250 and a HP4014. We cannot print these downloaded PDFs to either printer. When we attempt to print the confirmation "bubble" does not appear about the tasktray, but he printer icon does appear. When I open the printer window it briefly dispalys a 1 for the number of print jobs. When I look at the list of jobs it says the job is spooling, then it deletes and disappears. If I view the queue from another PC it shows the job spooling and then disappearing. If I store the PDF locally it will print no problem. We have a couple of printers shared from PCs. I can print from the affected PC straight from websites to these printers no problem. Some of the documents we want to print do not have a save option. Instead we print to a virtual PDF printer, save locally, then open with Adobe Reader and it prints no problem. I have tried reinstalling the network printers, but doesn't fix the problem. We are running 10.1.4 on the affected PC. Any help would be much apprecited.

Some more information would be useful:
What application are you using to print, Preview, Adobe Reader, Acrobat, or something else?
What happens when you try to print? Can you not select it from the File menu? Does something go wrong with the Print dialog box? Is it something that happens afterwards?

Cannot print pdf from Preview

I cannot print a pdf from preview either. Have you found out how to correct this yet?

How to Hide Acrobat Reader When Printing PDFs From Web App

We have a web application that prints pdfs. Here's the line of code that prints the pdfs:
win32api.ShellExecute(0, "print", filename, None, ".", 0)
When the pdf prints from our web application, Adobe Acrobat opens and we don't need it to open. Is there a way to get the pdf to print without Acrobat interupting the user?

Use standard VB/Windows features to minimize the app.

Print PDF from web without opening A.R.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to print PDF documents (generated in Crystal Reports 11 on a IIS web server in PDF / ASP.NET Framework 2.0) on client's machines and printers (without opening an Acrobat Reader, but with print options dialog).
Is it possible to make this issue using Adobe Acrobat SDK?

For security reasons (eg. so that malicious web servers can't just start your printer a printing...), it is IMPOSSIBLE for the document to NOT show...
Any document that is on the web can be saved on the client's machine - that's the beauty (or not?) of the web and the protocols involved. If you wish to prevent misuse - be sure to use DRM.

Installed Pro 9 and Reader 9 now cannot open pdf from web, but can from an email?

Installed Both Adobe Acrobat 9 professional and reader 9 yesterday on co worker machine. Went to open a pdf attachement in email no problem. Went to web to download and open a pdf and will not let her, giving co worker the error message need reader 8 or 9 to open this document!
have unistalled 9 reader and reinstalled same problem.
So then uninstalled reader 9 and can now open pdf from the web
My machine has both on and no problems.
Thank YOU for your help!!

It may be that you will need to uninstall Reader and Repair Acrobat after the uninstall. Adobe does not recommend the installation of both products. Since you have already done the uninstall and things work fine with just Acrobat, leave things alone as that is the recommended installation.

Query on SRM Authorization for PO Print Preview from Web Browser

Hi All,
I would like to restrict PO Preview option in Web browser for users who has SAP_EC_BBP_EMPLOYEE Role only. Kindly let me know that how I can restrict the PO Preview option with popup message like 'Authorization is not given to see the PO Print Preview'.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Thanks,
Sudarsan

You can just revoke the authorization. This would remove the prining option for the user, rather than providing a message.
I guess this should be
Authorization Object - BBP_PD_PO
Activity (ACTVT) - 04
Note: The necesary object in the Object Class - BBP.

Printing/PDF from Web Analyzer and WAD

Hi,
In BI7, when we run the query via Web Analyzer / WAD, is there an option for us to do Printing? Or can we convert the result output to PDF in Web Analyzer / WAD?
Have you done this before?
Please advise, thanks.

Hi,
you can Insert Button-Group-Item with command "Export".
So you can decide which format you want (PDF, Excel...)
Good luck

I cannot print PDFs from Firefox.

Since I updated to Firefox 5.0 it shows PDFs differently, and will NO LONGER print them. The PDFs from these sites used to print okay, and still do print if I use Internet Explorer.
When I click Print on the menu or toolbar, nothing happens.
The Adobe style print box does not come up.
Print preview shows a blank page with only header & footer.

Go to Print-Page Setup and turn on "print backgroud".
