Customers with macs cannot print my pdfs

HI, I sell PDF sewing patterns. I draft the patterns in illustrator and save them to PDF from there. My customers that are using PCs can print my newest pattern out perfectly. However, customers with macs are getting an error message when they try to print, "cannot convert postscript file" They can open the file in preview and print from there but I cannot tell all of my customers with macs they have to do this. I have 10 other patterns I have made before this one and have never had this issue. Does anyone know what may be going on?

Do you have a sample PDF file that you can post?

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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?

  • Elements 10 for MAC cannot print 8x10 on Canon mp970?

    Elements 10 for MAC cannot print 8x10 photos on a Canon MP970 printer . I get a box that says can only print at 220 resolution. What should I do?

    That's not quite what it's saying. It's tell you that at the physical size you chose (presumably 8 x10) your photo has fewer than 220 pixels per inch. So you can print 8 x 10 but the quality may not be first rate, since the original image just doesn't have enough pixels in it to print at that size with more pixel density.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Recently bought new printer. All works fine with one OSX user. However, cannot print anything on other OSX user, including cannot print Adobe PDFs or to new printer. Puzzling!

    computer = Mac PowerPC G5
    OS = 10.4.11
    Adobe Acrobat 7
    HP laserjet M1212nf
    I recently bought a new HP printer. I was on an admin user when I installed it. All works fine with this admin account/user. I can print to the HP, print to Adobe PDFs.
    However, when I then go over to another user account, I cannot print *anything*. I cannot print to Adobe PDF, cannot print to the new HP. If I try to print an excel file, it says "cannot communicate with the printer" along with some useless suggestions. If I try to print a page on FireFox, nothing happens. That is, sure I get the usual dialog box, click the appropriate choice of printer, click the number of copies, then click the OK button ... and nothing happens. No pdf process is started. Nothing is sent to the HP printer.
    The fact that both printer options are not working suggests it is some kind of OS problem, not specific to either printer "device".
    Any assistance is appreciated! Thanks!

    Hi BDAqua,
    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm a bit leery of trying that. I would think that if the driver was not installed, then none of my users could use the printer. However, both admin users can use the new printer. The list of available printers is:
    Adobe PDF 7.0
    New HP Printer
    I also used to have Old HP Printer, which I  removed. Before, Users A, B and C could use both the Adobe PDF and the Old HP printers. Then, after I added the New HP Printer, it showed up in the list of printers for all three users. However, after I added the new printer, only the two admin accounts, users A and C, can actually print anything. Both users A and C can use the Adobe PDF printer AND the New HP Printer. But I get error messages with user B, for both the Adobe PDF printer and the New HP Printer.

  • Cannot print to pdf with Acrobat 8

    I have just gotten a new laptop and moved my CS2 over to it. Everything works fine except I cannot print to a pdf like I used to. I can save as a pdf, but when I print to Adobe pdf, the printer icon pops up in the system tray. When I click on it, the window displays the print job with status: Error-sent to printer. It's the same thing when I try to print a web page or a Word document to a pdf.
    By the way, this version of CS2 came with Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 on seperate disks from the CS2 installation disks. Thanks in advance for the help.

    And by the way, I did look at my startup folder. The following items are checked:
    Adobe Acrobat Speed Launcher
    Adobe Acrobat Sychronizer
    Adobe Systems, Inc. Gamma Loader
    AcroTray - Adobe Acrobat Distiller helper application

  • Cannot Print to PDF with Photoshop CC Trial

    I cannot print any to PDF.  I am using a Photoshop CS6 trial, on OSX 10.8.5.  I have not touched any Photoshop settings; it is a fresh download from Creative Cloud.  I have tried with .psd and flattened .psd, with the following actions:
    File>Print>Print>Click OK to Colour Management Warning>Click dropdown menu for PDF>Select "Save as PDF">Save>Click OK to Colour Management Warning>Click Proceed for Clipping Area Warning (I have a bleed border which I want to clip)>Click OK to the message "Could not print "FILE NAME" because of a program error".
    The result; a blank PDF is created in the selected save location, with no image.
    I do not have any other printers installed.
    Adobe Pro and Adobe Distiller trials are installed.

  • After clean install cannot print to pdf with Acrobat 8 Pro

    I recently had to do a clean install on my desktop computer.  Is there some way I can print to pdf with my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, which was working fine prior to the clean install.  I am aware Adobe no longer supports this version, but isn’t this program able to function without being updated?  Want to print pdf files from websites and Microsoft office.  Am running Windows 7 Ultimate OS.

    Hi jadbe,
    Windows 7 is not a tested platform for Acrobat 8.
