Cannot print to PDF in Win7 Ultimate 64-bit

Firefox locks up when trying to print to Adobe PDF, NitroPDF, FoxIt or XPS. At first I only noticed it occurring when hitting CTRL+V to paste in a file name for an Adobe Acrobat X v10.1.1.33 PDF but now seems to happen nearly every time a page is printed regardless of site.
I have tried disabling all extensions as well as starting in safemode.
Manually Ending the Process splwow64.exe in Task Manager clears the hang but afterward no other prints can even be attempted.
This has been a problem over several versions of Firefox (5 - 7?)

Can you print just a few pages of the document. If so, you are probably running out of disk space in the TEMP folder. Empty the TEMP folder and try again. It may also be that your document is graphic intensive and reduced resolution would help. Keep in mind that the creation process creates a PS file first and then converts that to a PDF. The storage of the PS file is where the problem arises in many cases - it can become huge!

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.

My operating system is Windows XP SP3. I have Adobe 11.0.08 installed. I cannot print a pdf file/document. Error message - AeroRd32.exe - Unable To Locate Component - "Application failed to start because lxdautil.dll not found." Any suggestions?

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

I followed the FAQ troubleshooting and that didn't help

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

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?

HP Smart Web Printing has been replaced with HP Smart Printing. It does support Windows 7 and IE 6 to IE9. See this page for information.

Content Encoding Error - Firefox 8.0 - Win7 Ultimate 64 Bit

Content Encoding Error - Firefox 8.0 - Win7 Ultimate 64 Bit
I'm completely hooked on Firefox, so I only know how to use it, however I was forced to switch to IE, because I have a virus any that only leaves me open these two.
But in Firefox 8.0 recently updated pages take 4 or 5 times longer to open and when they open is full of errors. Clear the cache only solves by 1 min! lol

You can get a "Corrupted Content Error" error if there are multiple location redirects send via the HTTP response headers or there are other errors in the response headers.

Cannot print to PDF after change decimal symbol

When we used
Acrobat Pro 7.0, PDF printer worked fine with any setting of "Decimal
symbol" in regional setting. But, after we install Acrobat Pro 9.1, we cannot print t
o PDF any more, when we change decima symbol back to period,
it works but standard in my country is use comma "," for decimal symbol instead of per
iod "." error message is "standard.joboption..."
So, any one can give us the solution to print Word or Excel file to PDF without any error, why Acrobat 7 can work but not Acrobat 9.1 and above cannot.
Thanks in advance!
Hung

I downloaded a trial of Acrobat today, but apparently the Distiller part doesn't work at all. It's not really an option to change the decimal symbol, being Swedish. I'm using Win7x64, English language but Swedish keyboard, date format and of course comma as a decimal symbol.
Is the only solution using PDFcreator for printing PDFs? It seems very silly that Adobe can't get this right, it's beyond me why configuration parsing depends on the system locale!
This software is apparently not Win7-ready at all. Is there an updated version in the works?

Cannot Print to PDF - Driver issues (?)

Hello,
I can't print to PDF from InDesign or for that matter any of my other non-Adobe programs.
All the file does in print in error in my PDF printer dialog box and nothing happens.
Just to clarify, exporting as an interactive PDF is not the solution I'm looking for.
I'm running Windows 7 with Acrobat Pro 8 Installed and Acrobat Reader X installed.
When I try to right click the pdf print and go to 'Adobe PDF Printing Preferences' and
set the Adobe PDF folder/output to anything that would prompt me for the file name, I can only select a port by the name of LPT1 and nothing else.
Also, odd but maybe related, I can't even set the PDF security.
Help would be delightful

The 64 bit system may be an issue. I do not remember any responses related to success with AA8 and Win 7, 64. In any case, you need to be at no less than AA 8.1. That was required on 64 bit versions of XP. I would open AA8 and start the update process. If you are offered more than 1 update, do them in order. I don't usually update this way and so am not that familiar with the screen that is offered. You may have to download the updates, in which case you have to download all appropriate updates and install them in order. They are not cummulative. If you download them, you should probably store the updates some place in case you need them again in the future. You also should only have to restart after the last update, though many of them will suggest a restart. AA 8 is at something like 8.3.2.
The updates may solve the problem. Please report back on your success with the 64 bit version of Win7. That helps us help others.

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
