Changing Printing defaults in Adobe Reader XI

Hi there,
In the following thread (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1108160) it was asked if the print setting defaults can be changed in Adobe Reader XI - this wasn't answered, and I'm wondering if there is a possibility that this can be done.
Thank you!

When you use Kaspersky software install the updates from Kaspersky.

Duplex Printing Problem in Adobe Reader X (Mac)

My normal printer setting is for duplex printing. However, Adobe Reader X will only print on one side of the paper.. This is on a MacPro under Mac OSX 10.6.6 and Adobe Reader X Version 10.0.1 printing to a Canon IP4500 inkjet printer. Other applications duplex fine.
Any one else with this problem? Fixes or workarounds?

After having the problem / aggravation, I went through each area trying to
learn how to get past it. Finally, I checkmarked 3x "Don't Show Me This Again"
Then I established a default printer thereby forcing Adobe to retain print preferences
instead of defaulting to "Any Printer" and losing custom settings
STEPS I TOOK (you may know of something faster, easier?)
CTRL P or File, Print to receive standard print dialogue
Within "Printer:" use drop down to select "PRINT & FAX Preferences...."
Note: You can set print & fax preferences thru System Preferences, but for
now we're here
Select the printer you will normally use and set up a default printer (for Adobe)
If the Lock at bottom left is closed it will require the system admin ID and PWD
to unlock/lock in order to make changes :-)
Once finished close this (top left)
You will be returned to this panel
To the right of the "Printer:" drop down is the arrow that expands your options,
make sure it is aiming UP
Middle of screen is "Layout" Select the drop down and select "Two-Sided Printing"
Look at the next screen image posted below and you will see there's more steps to
follow for two sided printing
Check mark "Print Both Sides"
By Re-Opening the Drop down now showing "Two-Side Printing", you can of
course adjust other items while here
Paper Type/Quality allows you to select items such as print quality, color settings
Select "Print" (bottom right of screen) to return to Adobe Reader Print Page
Save time by opening the "Presets:" dropdown and save this as a custom print setup name
i.e. grayscale_DblSided, Color_DblSided...
Finally, Check Mark "Reverse Pages" to print Back to Front and help Adobe
not to print a single sided first page and double sided pages for the others... Nice!
It's time to press "OK" and hover over the printer to ensure Adobe didn't send
instructions to print your 100 single side pages despite all best efforts
Since going through this rigamarole I have not had to reset it every time

How do I choose Preview as default over Adobe Reader?

Once you update one thing . . . can of worms. How do I choose preview as default over Adobe Reader?
Here's why I want to change the default viewer, in case anyone has ideas: When I updated to Reader X (as required by some of our industry-specific programs) my Quickbooks Online financial program no longer prints in either Safari or Firefox.
I called QB and they said they only support Reader 9.3. Uninstalled Reader X, tried install 9.3. No go--isn't compatible with Mac OS 10.6.7. Gave QB my "thoughts" on their not being up to speed with Reader updates . . .
So, maybe changing to Preview as the default reader will work. Adobe 10 has overruled Preview.
How do I set the preference to go back to Preview?
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Problem printing patterns with Adobe Reader 9

Hello all
We have a mix environment of Windows 7/Vista with Adobe Reader 9.2 and Windows XP/2k with Adobe Reader 8.1.7. Documents including charts with patterns created with the option Save as PDF from Word 2007(SP2) look and print fine with Adobe Reader 8, but the same documents look and print the patterns a lot more compressed with Adobe Reader 9. All computers print to the same printers with the same print drivers (a windows print server). Attached is a sample PDF file. I've installed Adobe Reader 9.2 also on Win2k and WinXP computers with the same results, so the problem doesn't come from the OS.
Any idea on what's wrong with Adobe Reader 9? Is it a configuration problem or defaults changed in Adobe Reader 9?
Thanks in advance.

You need to use Adobe Acrobat; Adobe Reader does not support editing.

How do I set the Page size default in Adobe Reader using Window 8?

I need to set the page size everytime I go to print from my Adobe Reader in my windows 8. Is there a way to set the page I want letter (8.5 by 11) as a default? So I do not have to do this everytime I print something?

I can't help but wonder why Adobe doesn't respond to this - at this point there are 464 views of this item and still no answer. I have the same problem and it's a big irritation to have to set the duplex mode everytime I want to print!

Can you print comments in Adobe Reader 8?

I have a PDF document that has several comments ("sticky notes") added to it. I need to be able to print the document with the comments. However, I can't seem to find a way to do this. I've been searching online, but still can't find a solution.
I have gone into print settings and selected 'Document and Markups', but still the comments don't print. Another site said to go to Edit > Preferences > Commenting > Print Notes and Popups , but I don't have a "Commenting" option.
I don't understand why I would be able to add comments, but not be able to print them. I've checked the security on the document, and it's set as "Commenting Allowed". So I'm all out of ideas. Do I have to have Adobe Professional in order to print comments?

Hi, I found this on Adobe's site. Give it a try.
Cheers,
Jenny
Windows:
In order to print comments from Adobe Reader 6, 7, or 8 you need to change a registry key. Please note that you edit the registry at your own risk.
Open the registry editor and browse to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ADOBE\Acrobat Reader\6.0(or7.0, or 8.0)\Annots\cPrefs
Double click the 'bprintCommentPopups' key and change the value to 1
For Adobe Reader 8 you will need to add the key manually.
Add the following Reg key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\Annots\cPrefs]
"bprintCommentPopups"=dword:00000001

Download errors - defaulting to Adobe Reader regardless of file format.

Before this week, whenever I would download a file, a box would pop up asking me if I wanted to Open the file or Save It. In either case, a file would be found in my Download folder as expected. A week ago, I reluctantly added an old version of Office for Mac (2008) to my 2012 Mac mini (OSX 10.8.5) and since then, every file I try to download, no matter what the format, seems to default to Adobe Reader when I try to open the file. All the files have a .part extension and when I try to open them, an error message like this follows: "Adobe Reader could not open 'owUNL4ca.part' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). How do I fix this?

In the Finder, select a file of the type in question, then select
File ▹ Get Info
from the menu bar, or press the key combination command-I. In the General section of the Info dialog, select the application you want from the menu labeled Open with. If the application is not in the menu, it may not be able to open that kind of file, but if you know otherwise, select Other… Then click Change All… and close the dialog.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Having nav buttons outside print area in adobe reader

I am building a parts manual and want my nav buttons off to the side of the 8.5"x11" document in sidebars. Easy to accomplish in Indesign but when exported to pdf , the print feature in Adobe reader prints the total width of the document. I want the customer when select print to just print the center frame (no nav buttons)and not have to set up crops etc for printing. Ive seen parts manuals like this and am having a hard time accomplishing this myself. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is link to an example of this pdf

Just set their visibility to "Visible, but doesn't print".

Printing issues with Adobe Reader

I am having a problem printing from my Adobe Reader 9. When I print from a PDF the print is backwards.

I'm getting the same issue on some of the computers at my work.
We're all using Acrobat Standard 8.2.2 and Windows 7.
I'm not 100% whether the files have been created in In Design but they certainly look like they probably have.
Seems like Acrobat 8 (and various updates since) are not very compatible with Windows 7. I've been having plenty of headaches since we upgraded the operating systems 2 weeks ago.

Disable Printing Dialogue in Adobe Reader

I'm looking for a way to totally block/hide the printing dialogue in Adobe Reader 7.0.
As far as I know the only way to do this is to drop a script in the JavaScript folder to manipulate the whole application (catching the application initialization event). Is this right?
I can't create my own dialogs and printing methods via an embedded script because I'm dealing only with the Reader.
Can anyone provide some hints how to realise that?

> I can't create my own dialogs and printing methods via an embedded script because I'm dealing only with the Reader.
You can still develop plug-ins for Reader that will override the standard print dialog and replace it with your own. There is a document called "Developing for Adobe Reader" that comes with the SDK. Find it here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/reader_overview.pdf
With JavaScript, you cannot prevent the print dialog from coming up if the user click on File > Print or the Print button.
You can, from a folder-level script, create your own silent print function, but you cannot replace the existing print functions with it from JavaScript. This can only be done from a plug-in. You could create another button or menu item that calls your silent print function, but the original interactive methods would still be there for the user to use if they wanted.

Capture print event in adobe reader and show a message

Hi,
We have only adobe reader installed on our machines, is it possible to use the sdk to capture the print event in adobe reader? Our goal is to show a message to the users before the print dialog appears and
as soon as the user prints a document?
Is it possible?
Thank you,
Peter

You can certainly develop a plugin for Adobe Reader that would do this.
Plugins are written in C/C++ and, for Reader, you will need to obtain a license & associated key from Adobe to enable that plugin. Details are all in the SDK.

Change the launch default to Adobe Reader 9 (instead of Acrobat 6)?

I have Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat 6 both loaded. Until a week ago I could launch
PDF files in a broswer without difficulty. They would launch in Adobe Reader 9. Now when I try to launch a PDF in a browser Adobe Acrobat 6 launches and I get a message:
"The Adobe Acrobat / Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat version 8/9 is required."
It seems that Acrobat 6 is the default now for PDF files. How do I change the default Adobe Program that launches back to Adobe Reader 9?
Confused,
Simple Mind

Hii.
Go to any PDF file, Right click it ->Propoerties-> in open with select ADOBE READER 9 and OK...
I hope it will work. Or innopenwith option select reader 9 and click the check box below-"Always use this....."

Nikhil

Default Printer problems in Adobe Reader

Repost:
I have over 50 users with Adobe Reader 9.3.3 installed. Every morning someone calls and says Adobe Reader reported that there are no printers installed on their system. When I check their PC I find that the default printer setting has been removed and there is no default printer set. Once reset they have no problems with the printers or their other applications. This only happens when trying to print a PDF.
Why is Adobe Reader removing the default printer setting?
The driver has NOT been removed. Just the default setting.
In very PLAIN English the default printer check mark is GONE.

This is a strange issue indeed.!!!
Can you please let me know, whether the problem reproducible only after opening any specific file? It might be that the file is running a JavaScript on the system causing the default printer setting to be removed.
To verify the same, you can try and disable JavaScript in Adobe Reader 9.3.3 on some of the client systems, and then observe whether the problem is reproducible on their systems as they go around their normal work. (To disable javscript, goto Edit > Preferences > JavaScript and uncheck Enable Acrobat JavaScript)
If any client system tries to open a file which is trying to run a JavaScript code, they will get a Yellow message Bar on top of their page, asking for permissions to run JavaScript. This will give you an idea about the problematic file.
Hope this helps you zero in on the issue..
