File will not print, just hangs acrobat

Question

Hi all.
As usual a deadline is looming and my lovely document created in indesign is now exported to pdf and ready to print.
However when I try to print all that happens it it endlessly sits their spinning, with no print.
Because acrobat does not 'crash' I cannot asertain what has caused it too happen.
Any ideas what I can do, its really important I get this 100 page document printed 5 times very soon!

Answer 1

was the file originally created from MS Word?
And does the Word document have section Breaks?
If so Adobe/MS have a long standing bug that has been around since Acrobat 1 and  Office 4.2. Acrobat can't figure out MS Word's Section Breaks.
Up until Word 2008 they had a Problem with Page Breaks when Miicrsoft came up with there own word to PDF Converter. Both blame apple which is downright silly because Up until version Acrobat 5.5 and word XL they worked on OS9 and lower which written in either Objective-C or C++ And the printing system had nothing to do with PDF. So that arguement is down right silly. Micrsoft is  so paranoid about its code beeing stolen they refuse to allow companies such Adobe see the code. If they could I feel the problems would be fixed with 6 months. But sadly we are talking about a 15 year old problem, no one refuses to fix.
what it does instead of jumping to a new section, or new Page, it create a new pdf file.  You can tell if this is the problem by open printer item in the Dock whil it printing. If this is the case you will see a series of PDF's in the Print Cue.
Another problem could be that your Printer doesn't have enough memory it it is a Postscript printer many can have memory added to them.
