Errors printing PDFs I create

I have just recently run into an issue where people cannot print PDF documents created on my machines. I have an i-Mac and a MacBookPro and this problem, for whatever reason, has become consistent. When creating my PDF's, I am simply using the "save as pdf" feature and no external pdf creator.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Do you have any problems when trying to print the same PDF's you have created?
You may find you have a problem with your fonts. You could open Font Book and look for replications of fonts, indicated by a dot. This can occur when adding software that adds additional fonts. By highlighting the font then selecting 'Edit > Resolve Duplicates' you may resolve the problem.
If not, you could try resetting the printing system, although it is unusual that you would have two Mac's with print system problems. Still, it would be worth trying. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax. Move your mouse to the Printers list and hold down the Control key. Now click your mouse and select Reset printing system. Note that this will delete all your printer queues, so you will have to add them again.

PDF Virtual Printer Queue has doc print errors but PDF's created

This has probably been answered already somewhere here, but I can't seem to find a current solution.
I am using Windows 7 64bit Pro and Acrobat X Pro. When printing to a PDF from any source - word, excel, email, the PDF is created correctly, but my PDF Printer Queue shows a document print error and leaves the doc in the queue.
This wasn't happening before so I am not sure if it's a known issue that an update has fixed or something else. If there is another thread that has the answer, let me know. Or a link to the fix would be great! Thanks.

Hi, try instead: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/set-default-printer-print-center.html
It works for current OS versions. If other dialogs appear, continue to add the printer.
The printer will be called localhost. Select it to print from eTax and choose the option to " Print to pdf"
Directions previous were to go to the manufacturers site, not the Apple site for the install, but its ok, link above is a better alternative.
Apologies….
Cheers

Problem printing pdf documents created by ps2pdf

When I try to print pdf documents that have been created from ps documents by ps2pdf, the output is corrupted. Many letters are missing but included graphics are printed just fine. This happens with my HP printer and with cups-pdf, when I print the pdf document to a new pdf document. There are no errors in the logs, so I don't know what is goning wrong. On a windows PC, the pdf documents are printed correct too. Other pdf documents, created by pdflatex are printed correct.
If I don't use ps2pdf and print the ps document directly, the output is correct. I have tried different pdf-viewers without any difference. About half a year ago, everything was working fine, so could it be related to : "As of version cups 1.5.3-3 ArchLinux makes use of the new full pdf-based printing workflow."?

Flo,
In my limited experience with the iOS iWork apps, they weren't designed for those who are picky about the layout. They are highly automatic and if you don't like the result, it's not easy to override. If the format when printed leaves unpleasant margins, I think your best approach is to reshape the tables in such a way that they will better fit the target media. If you are having large top margin, make the tables narrower, then when they scale to fit the paper, then may fill it better.

Acrobat Pro 8 Print queue error, but pdf is created fine...

I'm running xp pro, and acrobat pro 8, every time I try to print a pdf, I get an error with the print queue although it still makes a pdf every time! I've tried the repair tool in acrobat and also uninstall/reinstall but I get the same deal every time.
Its more an annoyance than anything as I still get the pdf files but I'm thinking something must be wrong to throw up an error every single time!
Any help would be good :)

Alternatively, look at using digital signatures and the security
policies. This method ensures that only the person with the matching
certificate can open the file and have specific options ...
It would involve swapping digital ID files but once set-up, it's very
powerful ... just uses Acrobat 8 and even Reader ..

Problem with printing pdf file created from Illustrator

Hello,
In a drawing I created with Illustrator 10.0.3 I covered part of a circle with a white rectangle (to make it disappear). I saved it as pdf. When printing the pdf (under Linux with a HP printer), the covered part reappeared. However the pdf-file is how it should be. Anybody knows what the problem is?

No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

Problems opening & printing pdf files created on a Mac

I am at my wit's end! I recently upgraded to a new version of Acrobat and suddenly a lot of my clients could no longer open my pdf files. I uninstalled the latest version of Acrobat and reinstalled an older version (Acrobat 8.1.3). Some clients started being able to open my pdf files but others could not. So I started using the Acrobat Share server and sending links. Some of my clients cannot open those either and many cannot print even if they can open the files that way. I personally also cannot print from the Acrobat Share server. The pdf files print out with all the surrounding graphics and application design elements. I also can't open the pdf files that I created on my Mac using my PC laptop running Vista. I have tried opening and printing both pdf files and the Acrobat Share links from my Mac and my PC laptop running Vista, to no avail.
I was under the impression that compatibility problems between Macs and PCs were largely a thing of the past. I was also under the impression that the whole point of exchanging pdf files was that pdf files are cross-platform compatible. Not only am I am losing tons of valuable time, I may be losing credibility with my clients (especially since I have an IT background). I desperately need to know what version of Acrobat I should be running on my Mac so that when I scan documents into my Mac, the pdf files that are created are completely 100% compatible with both Mac and PC operating systems regardless of what operating system and what version of Acrobat my clients are running. I also need to be sure that those same pdf files I create on my Mac can be seemlessly printed out from either a Mac or PC regardless of the operating system or Acrobat Reader version. If anyone can help me get to the bottom of this, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks.

This file downloaded and works fine for me in Preview on both OS X 10.5.7 and 10.4.11 (and opens in Acrobat Pro 9.1.1 and 8.1.5, and the latest version of Reader on both versions of the OS). As expected.
If you're printing from Acrobat.com by right clicking in the image area and selecting Print, don't. This isn't printing the PDF, it's printing the Flash frame that contains, as you've noticed, buttons and other elements. (Adobe's Mac Flash plugin is notoriously buggy.) Direct your clients to download the file by selecting the download button, not by right clicking and printing.
Again, your PDF file is fine.

Adobe Reader error with PDF reports created using AS Reports Server 10g

Hi,
Recently when trying to run reports in our system (which uses Oracle Application Server Forms & Reports Services 10g - 10.1.2.0.2), sometimes when we try to run a report in PDF format the following happens:
1. A new window appears as expected
2. This window hangs/appears to try to load for a couple of minutes
3. Eventually an Adobe Reader error message appears saying the following:
*"There is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again".*
I have noticed that this problem only seems to occur when the client has Adobe Reader 9.3 installed (8.2 works fine).
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a known workaround or is this a known issue?
Many thanks,
Chris

Does anyone have any ideas on this or has anyone encountered the same problem?
thanks

Problem with printing pdf

IF POSSIBLE REPLY IN ITALIAN
HI, i ve got a big problem.
i 've to create an A0 page in vectorial pdf, which has connected different files: .psd files for the images with transparency, and vectorial .pdf for the drawings from cad.
When i ve created my page, i export that in print pdf high quality.
1° problem: sometimes it fails and tells me there s not enough memory
2° problem: when print pdf is created, the plotter can t load it to print, it stops at 40% loading.
there s a way to make an easy vectorial print pdf?
using vectorial eps instead of vectorial pdf?
using transparent tiff instead of psd?
THANKS

thank you for the fast reply Peter. Im working on an achitecture poster for my last exam, and it contains vector graphics sometimes overlayed on raster images.
i don t like to use illustrator too, im using 3 programs already to create this poster. do u think .ai are easier than eps???
i ve tryed to save new pdf without layers, but it didn t work. then i ve tryed to change pdf with eps on indesign, and now the print pdf saving is really faster. im gonna try to plot it and then i ll tell u what s changed.
OH most important, i was drag n dropping pdf into indesign, and i read it s really wrong! so now i import vector eps to indesign ...
Plot test...
TY

Small error in pdf spec

found a possible error in the pdf spec PDF 32000-1:2008:
page 385, Table 165 – Annotation flags
8 bit position - Locked (PDF 1.4)
In pdf 1.4 there was no flag 'locked' at the 8bit position.
(there are also lots of spelling mistakes but don't want to nit-pick ;-)

Actually, that is correct. As reflected in the PDF 1.5 reference, Section H.3, Notes on 8.4.2:
Acrobat 5.0 obeys the Locked flag only for widget annotations. In Acrobat
6.0, markup annotations support it as well.

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD.

Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am having problems printing PDFs created from AutoCAD. Printing other PDF created by MS Word works well. Had a similar problem in an earlier version of Pro. The fix I figure out then was to print the PDF file as another PDF. Using the second PDF to print to a plotter typically worked. It does not work for Adoabe Acrobat Pro XI.

Hi presottom
Please refer ; http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-pdf-printing-acrobat-reader.html

Let us know more details about it to help you better ?
What is the OS ?
is there any error message , etc .. ?

Acrobat 9 people can't open pdf I created, I can't print pdfs

I loaded Acrobat 9 while still having my Acrobat 8 version installed. It asked me if it was okay for it to un-install my version 8. I said yes, but after it finished it told me the un-installation was incomplete (I think because of REGISTRY or something). It continued with install.
I can create pdfs, combine, etc. But, the person trying to open the pdf can't. They get an error.
I also cannot print pdfs given to me (I see the pdf fine, but it prints a blank page).
Now I just went through Control Panel and hit add/remove and told it to REPAIR, which it did. When I re-booted and went into my Outlook there is 475 emails! It gave me all old emails back to Jul of 2008???????
Yikes! Help!

No product should force security on its users without providing them any practical way to override. Web browsers, email clients, and operating systems warn you of potentially dangerous files and then let the client make the choice. What if it's a zip file from a trusted source full of harmless text documents? Too bad - because Acrobat says so. Acrobat makes no attempt to examine the zip file to see if perhaps its contents are dangerous - it just sweepingly decides zips are far too dangerous to let the user have any voice in the matter. I fundamentally disagree.
Notice that I've attached a zip file to this post. Adobe allows zips on their forums but not in their PDF documents. Adobe: If you've deemed zip files safe enough to be hosted and delivered in your own forums, why have you decided they have no place in a PDF?
I think Adobe got this one wrong - and I cast a vote that they loosen the noose on zip files on a future release. I'd like to hear other users' thoughts on this issue. Adobe is good at listening to their users - so tell them what you think on this issue - I've posted this article as a feature request here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/520515 - reply to it that thread and share your viewpoint.
Cheers,

Acrobat Distiller 9 Error - Cannot Print PDF

When I try to print PDFs from any browser or piece of software, try to open Distiller directly, or even scan to PDFs, I receive the following error:
Unable to create the temporary folder.
Error: 5 - Access is denied.
I have had no problems until Monday with this. I did not install any new software. I have done the following:
Scanned the computer for Malware (Malwarebytes) - 0 threats found
Scanned the computer for regular virus/registry issues (AVG 2013) - 0 threats found
Repaired Acrobat 9 PRO installation - no change
Rebooted multiple times - no change
My computer runs Windows 7 64-bit, and I have Adobe Web Premium CS5 (which comes with Acrobat 9 PRO). I currently do not have access to the installation discs, as I just moved.

jlk2011 thanks, I found your thread, and it worked! I'm sharing what I did here and then closing the thread.
By holding the Windows key and R down, I typed %TEMP% into the Run field and hit Enter.
I found a temp folder name Acrobat Distiller 9. I deleted the folder. I then created a new folder with the same name, and I was immediately able to print PDFs again. The issue was resolved.

Cannot Print PDF Large volume PDF. Internal Error: 8004, 6343724, 8484240, 0

We are having an issue with printing to PDF for large volume FM files. PDF appear to work for small/medium volume PDFs however.
Internal Error: 8004, 6343724, 8484240, 0
FrameMaker 8.0.0 for Intel
Build: 8.0p273
I've checked the default printer and it is set to Adobe PDF. I've also tried to print to PDF to a different FM file just in case the current file might be corrupted and the same error appears. At this point this issue is affecting our work as we cannot save it to PDF. Does anyone have any ideas that I can try?
Thanks
Steve

Shelia,
Thank you for your reply. Here are some further details on the question that you asked:
1. At that beginning, because the PDF file has 226 pages as total and consists of 19 fm files, which I mean the big volume, I thought this problem occurs. (FYI, the small/medium volume means the PDF file has 112 pages as total and consists of 16 fm files / only around 20 pages as total and consists of only 1 fm file.)
However, now, I know the problem occurs in the specific two very small fm files. These two fm files are only 3 pages / 15 pages as total and consists of only one fm file. – So, I do not think the volume relates to this problem.
2. I always use “save it to PDF” to create PDF files so far. I am using the PDF distiller that came with FrameMaker8.
3. All files including graphics are in my local drive (C drive).
So I'm wondering if the problem is possible due to the two specific fm files. If so, what are your recommendations to get around this?
Thanks
Steve

PDF Printer fails to create document

I have Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 Standard and today suddenly I cannot create a PDF file from Word 2007. It will create PDF files of up to 5-6 pages but when I try the file that contains 657 pages it will only go to page 90 before I get this error message: Adobe PDF printer failed to create the PDF file.
I have tried this a couple of times (shut down computer in between each try) and every time I get the same error at the same page. The last attempt was 2 1/2 hours ago and I still have the little Acrobat icon turning circles in my toolbar. Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem?
I am working on a Dell Inspiron E1505 running Windows XP SP2. I bought Acrobat back in May and this is the first time I've had a problem with it.

Hi DJ, what is on page 90 (or 91) that is keeping the PDF printer from completing? Any half tones in any graphics? Any intense tables? Graphs?
Have you tried just making a PDF from that one page? Drill down to the page that is causing the problem, try removing one element at a time, printing to PDF, until you discover what one element is creating this issue.
We had some snow flakes with gradient half tones in one of our documents that was causing an issue much like you are experiencing.
