Downloaded latest Acrobat update - now she can't print PDF files.

Here we go...
My lovely wife has a mini running 10.5.8. She just downloaded the most recent Acrobat update, and now when she tries to print a PDF nothing happens. Nothing. No error message or other annunciations. My mini (running 10.5.8) uses Preview as the default PDF viewer, and I've never had an issue.
I'm stymied. Can we uninstall the Adobe software and use Preview for her PDF needs? Or can we set Preview as her default PDF viewer? I tried to find a way to do the latter, but found no joy.
We'd be grateful for any help you all could offer.
Cheers!
Robert.

I'd have to agree with Baltwo - IMHO there is no better software for pdfs than Preview - it's light, feature-rich and beautifully integrated with the system.
I only ever saw something similar to your case at a printer a few years ago and it was caused by a dodgy font. It might be an idea to validate your fonts with Font Book, delete any bad fonts and see if that helps.

Downloaded latest Ovi update, now I can't access ...

Hi,
On saturday I did the latest update from my ovi suite, after the download, I had a new device icon on my taskbar. On further investigation I found that I could no longer see my drives on my N8 in my computer when connected via usb. Also I cannot transfer files from my pc to my phone via ovi.
I have reinstalled everything but no joy. When I look in my pc device manager it see's an mtb device but says it has a conflict and cannot find a driver.
I can still access my mass storage memory via mass storage on my phone to my pc.
I guess this subject may have been touched before but any help will be appreciated.

As further point of interest, the same problem is on my old N86 and my partners C7 so it seems to be a software problem

I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

If you upgraded and were using a version of Acrobat Reader that was legacy, that is PPC compatible, then you will have to upgrade to a version compatible with Lion as Lion no longer has Rosetta to interface with the legacy software.
I know that Acrobat, full version, 10 works with Lion...use it myself.

Can not print PDF file at all with Windows Vista

I have Acrobat Reader 9.3.2. I am working off of Windows Vista on my laptop to a network wireless printer (Brother MFC 9440). I am unable to print pdf files. About a week ago, we had problems with our printer printing anything. I had to uninstall it and reinstalled it and it now works fine except the pdf files. I have had no problems printing any other files on any other programs but this one. I am unsure what specific "updates" I ran while trying to figure out printers issue. When in Reader, everything seems normal. When I hit print, the printer box pops up as normal and then I hit ok, my printer icon at bottom pops up for about 5 secs and nothing happens. I know that I am connected to printer due to all other programs can print. I do not have access to another printer to see if pdf will print on another printer, but do know that the other two computers used in this office (mac laptop and mac desktop) both are able to print pdf files to this printer without a problem. I have gone thru all the other help steps to try to resolve the situation: it still will not print when I hit "print as image", made sure that my printer is marked as network and is default printer, made sure to check that I have all upgrades, etc. I am not getting any error message, so am unsure what is wrong. It just will not print. Is there anyone that could give me some suggestions that I have not tried? I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanks!

There have been problems reported with the latest Adobe Reader update on Mac. 
See [[/questions/925119]]
You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox and use the Adobe Reader program or Preview instead.
*Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

Orarrp can't print pdf file directly to printer

oracle remote print utility (orarrp) can't print pdf file directly to printer.
we expect orarrp utility can handle ".rrpa" file (i.e. pdf file generated on the application server) by directly print the file to the client's printer, i.e. invoke the acrobat reader on the client side, display the the printer selection dialogue, after confirmation print the pdf file, then the acrobat reader close automatically nicely.
However we are disappointed as the acrobat reader startup and display the pdf file content but does not print and does not close.
After testing the problem several times, there are some findings:-
Finding (A):-
(a) for the success of direct printing of pdf file, a physical path must be provided; we have tried 2 methods:
1) using drag & drop to copy the pdf file directly to the browser
2) open pdf file in the browser directly using browser menu-->File-->Open.
(b) for the failure of direct printing, a virtual path is involved and we have also tried 2 methods:
1) when web.show_document() is used
2) enter the url to the URL bar of the browser,
eg. http://appsvr.com:7777/report/test_printout/APPSVR1094707.rrpa (this is a virtual path/url)
Finding (B):-
(a)when the physical path is used, a temporary pdf file is generated in the same directory where the rrpa file exists in the application server,
e.g. in application server: d:/printout/yyy.pdf is generated for d:/printout/xxx.rrpa when direct print occurs
(b) however when the virtual path is used, there is no such temp "pdf" file generated and direct print failed.
May be when virtual path is used, orarrp utility don't know where to generate the temp "pdf" so direct print doesn't occur.
So, anyone has similar experience or further queries or has solutions, please join.
Thanks for your attention.

Hi,
It is really late to give response this post. But still who ever refering to this post for the same issue this solution is useful for achieving same in background:
Even same can be used in smartforms, for getting spool request in PDF format as well which will decrease the size of file when printing in SAP printer.
ct_tline is PDF output:
DATA: lv_pdfsource TYPE xstring.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: TYPE x. " type any.
LOOP AT ct_tline INTO cs_tline.
ASSIGN cs_tline TO CASTING TYPE x.
CONCATENATE lv_pdfsource INTO lv_pdfsource IN BYTE MODE.
ENDLOOP.
* ->Create spool request in PDF format
CALL FUNCTION 'ADS_CREATE_PDF_SPOOLJOB'
EXPORTING
 printer = 'LOCL' "Printer name supporting PDF device type

 pages = 1
 pdf_data = lv_pdfsource "XSTRING internal table

Can't print pdf files after upgrading to Adobe Reader XI

Hi,
I can't print pdf files after recently upgrading to Adobe Reader XI.
Two error messages appear:
1.- Error when starting the application because it couldn't find LXBBGF.DLL. Re-installing the application can solve the problem.
2.- Can not load "LXBBPRP.DLL". Using defaults. Error: 126
I can print other files (word, etc) with the same printer.
Thank you for your advice

Hi Pat,
Finally I followed the instructions from another similar discussion on this web site. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore...
I first uninstalled the Adobe Reader XI and then intalled an older version (Adobe Reader X). Now I can print pdf files!!
Thank you anyway for your advice!

Can't Print PDF files

I have the free version of Acrobat Reader 7 on my computer at home, and have no problems printing pdf files in Word, Excel, etc. At work there is the free version of Acrobat Reader 7 and I cannot print pdf files in Word, Excel, etc. When you select "Print" and the list of printers are displayed on the dropdown menu, the Acrobat pdf is not displayed. What needs to be installed so I print pdf files at work?
Thanks

Installed latest Acrobat Update to 8.2.1 and now I can't print PDFs

I recently installed the latest Acrobat update to go to Acrobat 8 Professional 8.2.1. Now I can no longer print PDFs. Also when I look at the list of printers it shows "AdobePDF (Copy1)" plus many more copies (see picture below). I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. How do I resolve this problem?

I was having the same issue. Supposedly, Acrobat 8 and Win 7 aren't compatible. I then tried the following steps and it seems to work.
1. Right click on the Acrobat 8 icon and scroll down and select properties.
2. A pop up box will appear. click on the compatibility tab.
3. Check the box in compatibility mode and select windows XP (Service Pack 3), then at the bottom of the box, click on the box next to Run this program as administrator.
4. Click apply then ok.
Let me know if this works for you. Good Luck!

I have downloaded new Apple update now I can't get app,book, so on saying payment can't be done and choice a new payment method this card is good and was working if before i updated I do have another card

Download the demo and activate with your serial number:

Be sure to follow the special instructions.
You will also probably need to run the un-installer first to clean up the old files.

Help? Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard - just purchased for windows 7 now I can't open pdf files or attach?

Help!!!
I just puchased the latest Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.
I put in the Serial Key number but my computer tells me that a qualifying product could not be found on my computer so I can't use the adobe product. So now I can't open any files or attach pdf files onto emails without this message coming up. I've un-installed the "Adobe Acrobat XI Standard twice! with no luck.
I need it sorted ASAP as I'm trying to work! Any suggestions?

DotBellaParis if you are being asked for a qualifying product then it would appear you purchased an upgrade to Acrobat XI Standard. You should have the opportunity to enter the serial number for your previous purchase of Acrobat. You can find information on how to locate your previous serial numbers at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968?promoid=KBHJW.
If you did not intend to purchase an upgrade then I would recommend submitting a return request. You can find more details on submitting a return at Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/return-cancel-or-change-order.html. Once you have returned the upgrade you can then purchase the full version which will not ask you for a qualifying product or serial number.
