File won't print, no image selected

I am running into a wierd problem with Acrobat x. I am running Acrobat X on a mac using mac os 10.6.8.. When I go to print I often get an error message stating "cannot print" and then another saying "no image selected". I have tried printing it as an image but nothing seems to help. Does anyone know what might be causing this? The file is only one page so on page range to be printed  I can only select all or current view. I have tried both. This is a pretty big issue since I am a digital printer and printing from Acrobat is constant requirement for the job.

First let me state that this is my solution on a Macintosh running 10.7.5 and Acrobat Pro X (with all the latest updates).
This problem started for me just this last weekend. I have been to every so-called solution that I could find via a Google search and NONE of these "solutions" even by the self-tagged "experts" work. PERIOD!
I decided to follow one suggestion to install Acrobat Pro 9. However, instead of uninstalling Acrobat Pro X first, I left it installed.
During the initial startup of Acrobat 9 after installation I was offered the option of installing an Extra feature called Adobe PDF Printer which allows me to "Create Adobe PDF files from any application by printing to Adobe PDF Printer". I opted in to that extra.
Once Acrobat Pro 9 had started I tested it using one of the PDF files that had failed to print with the dreaded "No pages selected......" error messages. THE FILE PRINTED AS EXPECTED!
I then decided I would uninstall Acrobat Pro X, but on a whim decided to try to print the same PDF file that had just printed using Acrobat Pro 9 one more time. IT PRINTED!
All I can figure out is that somehow selecting the option to have Acrobat Pro 9 install the option for allowing other applications to create a PDF repaired something within the Mac operating system. Just a guess.
Hope this helps someone.

  • When I try to print an jpeg or png from Photoshop all it does is convert the image to a PDF & plop it on my desktop- it won't print the image. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

    Yes, the printer is on, it’s selected in Printer Set-Up & I’ve never had this problem before. It’s definitely a Photoshop issue as every other type of file prints fine. I’ve uninstalled Pshop & am now reinstalling. Hope that will do the trick.

  • Using Adobe 8.1.2 some PDF files won't print

    Since we've upgraded to the latest version of Reader, 8.1.2, some of the files won't print. For example, this morning I got two PDF files in the same email, they both opened in Reader, but only one of them prints--sending to a Canon ImageRunner 5570 printer/copier/fax machine. I'm not getting any error messages on my computer, it just doesn't print?
    If I save a copy of the unprintable PDF to my desktop, then open in Acrobat 6.0 Standard (older version I know), it prints fine to the same printer.
    Does anyone know what's going on here? Best, David.

    We've been having the same problems printing to a Canon ImageRunner 4570, 8.1.2 won't print but 6 will. We can print to our other HP printer fine from 8.1.2, so it seems to be specific to the Canon. Tried printing from a shallow folder structure, but that hasn't seemed to have helped. Anyone heard if this is unique to the Canon printers? Thanks - Mike

  • Acrobat won't print, no page selected

    Since I upgraded to a new iMac with Mavericks, acrobat (updated to latest version, 10.1.9) won't print anything. I get an error message saying 'the document could not be printed' and then a second message saying 'no pages were selected'. I have tried selecting pages in different ways, and I've tried printing various different pdfs to both my printers (Brother HL2030 and Canon Pro9000). I have the latest drivers on these, which are printing other documents fine, so there's no problem with either the files or the printers.

  • Indesign-generated .pdf files won't print

    I realize this question is vague to the point of being unanswerable, but here I go anyway.
    Our department's publication person sent me a number of chapters of our book in progress so that I could print an uncorrected proof to show to our funding source. She emailed me .pdf files generated by InDesign CS2, probably, although it might have been CS3.
    She also emailed me the indesign file for the frontmatter because I had some things to add, so the .pdf for that I generated myself.
    I took everything to a local printer we regularly use. To print this job he was using a large commercial Canon setup I think. None of the .pdfs would print on it. He ended up having to print them all as images for the purposes of creating a proof for me.
    Now, I printed all of them myself on our networked postscript printer, both from a Mac and a Windows machine, no problem.
    Since the files had been emailed to me, and then to him, we thought maybe they got corrupted, so I brought them over on a disk, but that didn't help, not even the one file whose .pdf I generated myself would print.
    So is this an issue that has come up--indesign-generated .pdf files being unprintable on a commercial printer but printable on a postscript machine.

    Dov and Al,
    Yes, I'm sorry, I do realize that this isn't enough to diagnose a problem. I was hoping that this might be something that has come up before and someone would recognize.
    As far as I could tell, he was opening up the print jobs in Acrobat and sending them to his printer, which had its own job monitor. When he consulted that monitor he just said, no, it won't print.
    He's a smart guy and I've done a number of jobs with him that were generated in indesign, so I'm really at a loss to explain what has gone wrong with this one.

  • Appleworks file won't print in Snow Leopard

    I recently migrated apps and files from an older iMac to an iMac5,1 (late-2006 model). I use the same HP photosmart 7960 printer. When I send a file to print, one I have printed before with the old iMac, it won't print. I went onto HP's site to download a driver but during installation it says the setup assistant quit unexpectedly. I am trying to print files from Apple Works 6. I can print from Text Edit and from Mail,
    Can you help? Thanks.

    Fred, I'm sorry, I mistyped about where I look for "get info" on a selected document. I do look under the File menu. It is grayed out as is "About Appleworks" and right clicking/ctrl click doesn't work.
    For instance: I select (in Finder) an AW doc created in 2009. Right click doesn't work. File menu, About Appleworks grayed out. I double click to open it. Right clicking brings up usual editing menu. File menu visible but no "get info," About Appleworks says it's version AW 6.2.9. This doc doesn't preview and doesn't print. Then I change font and type size and save. This time it previews (content creator AppleWorks 6, creation date Jan. 10, 2011. AND it prints. I close it and select it again. Right click doesn't work, File menu and About Appleworks still grayed out and the "last opened" says 12/7/09.
    glaucous, are you certain you are in Finder when you do this?
    If you are in Finder, the Application menu (first to the right of the Apple menu) should be "Finder", and its first item should be "About Finder," not "About AppleWorks."
    The only time you will see "About AppleWorks" in the Application menu is when you are 'in' AppleWorks.
    It will be greyed when you have a dialogue box (for example, the Open dialogue, or the Save dialogue) open. Under this condition Hide AppleWorks and Hide Others will be the only active items in the Application menu. All items in the File menu will be greyed, as will be all items in Edit and Window menus. Help will show AppleWorks Help as an active item. And, as you note, right-clicking the file name or icon will have no effect (other than selecting the file), and double-clicking the file will open it (in the Open dialogue).

  • Reader PDFs won't print; "pages not selected"

    PDFs on Reader will not print.  I get a message "Pages not selected" but there is no way to select them.

    Met with IT. tried to install a native driver (as opposed to a generic postscript).  Same problem.  There's a solution that sits outside of Acrobat... Mac OS X "Prevew", prints the doc flawlessly.  I'm not sure what else to do. I've even tried some advanced settings to print as image, where it takes a long time to flatten each page, then print.. no pages will print. I'm inclined to say it's a memory issue between the Mac and this printer, but perplexed because there is no issue with "Preview"...

  • Pages File Won't Print

    I created a flier that won't print as a pages or PDF file. I redid it with a new template, and then it printed. Problem is, I really like the old one and want to use that one instead. Help?!
    Thanks

    Man am I glad I found this reply... I was was cursing and ready to throw my powerbook into the road. Well, not quite that bad but I was really getting ******. What is the deal with this? Gloss paper, plain paper... who cares. Why does it matter for just a simple page print?

  • Filemaker Pro 9 file won't print p 4  pdf issue?  Good Filemaker Pro site?

    Today is one of those print file from hades days. A 77 page file in Filemaker Pro 9 will print until it gets to page four. Then the printer times out and drops the file. What printer you ask? Well, the first ten tries were on a Laserwriter Pro 16/600 PS. It prints any other page just fine. So, I tried saving the file as a pdf. Preview will display the page but not print either. So I export the records on that page into a new database with just the records on page four. Still will not print page one of only one page. I add a new record by duplicating one record. That spills one record onto page two. Page two prints just fine. Could one of the records have a bitter code pill that corrupts the print file?
    I copy the pdf to a thumb drive and take it to a different computer. The second 16/600 PS does not print the page. The LED flashes several times then goes solid without printing. Then the HP 4500 does not print it.
    Can anyone recommend a good public forum for Filemaker issues? Sites I have found so far are commercial in nature. I have used Filemaker with great satisfaction since 1985 and Filemaker Plus. No major complaints until Filemaker Pro 9. Version 2 was great. Still use it once a week. Pro 3 was also problem free as was Pro 4. Any ideas would be appreciated. I am usually in the legacy products discussions but new software requires OS X.
    Thanx in advance.

  • InDesign CS2 file won't print after placing an image

    Every once in a while, I can't get a file to print after I place an image. The file would print fine prior to adding the image. This doesn't happen with all images - and I have investigated (trying to save the images with different extensions), but haven't found the problem.

    You have provided us exactly zero information that would allow us to help you with your problem.
    You could provide a sample available for us to download and test. Or you could give more information if you could list some replicable information. But you've given us neither. Sorry.

  • PDF File Won't print text, just watermark and image

    Hello,
    I have created a fillable/saveable PDF.  I have one client who states that when he attempts to print it, it only prints the watermark and our logo in the upper right corner.  He says that it won't save either.  He has made an attempt at two different computers.  There is a similar PDF we created that he can print and save properly.  So far it's just the one we are having trouble with.
    When we check it on our end, it works fine.  We can save and print it fine.  I have asked what browser he is using and await a reply.
    Any ideas on a setting on his computer, browser or Adobe Reader I can have him check?
    Many thanks!,
    Dave

    As far as the printing, he likely does not have document and markup selected. The document is the original PDF and the markup would be form fields and such.
    As for saving, if he is using Reader he will not be able to save unless you have activated Reader Rights. There are license restrictions on using the activation you should read before you go on your merry way, generally restricting the number of uses (500) of the form for data collection in that case.

  • Printer Won't Print Certain Images

    I just got my new HP Envy 114 printer this week and have only now gotten to setting it up.  While it took some time to set up the wireless and web services, all of the networking issues were eventually resolved.  My current problem is that, whenever I have the device print out a web document, there are certain key images it doesn't print.  I know this isn't an ink level issue, as both black and color levels are near full.  I was wondering if there might be any print settings, or settings on my browser, that might prevent said images from being printed.  Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Wait; wrong forum.  Please ignore this post.

    Hi,
    Which browser are you using ? Can you see images on the Print  Preview screen ? Depening on your setup in your browser, background images won't come out.
    Regards.

  • - iPhoto won't print entire image -

    I'm running '11, 9.2.2
    I've tried all the print settings & sizes, and I am not able to print an entire image. The image is always cropped, usually quite severly. 5x7 or 8x10, major crop. Only contact sheet setting shows full image. I have to move an image to Preview to print an entire image.
    What am I missing?

    Obviously if a photo is larger than the size you are pirnting then something has to give
    You can crop to the target size prior to printing so you control the coprring or you cn print and after making the setting on the first screen click customize and right click on the image(s) and select fit to frame to add white space fill so the entire photo prinbts

  • My exported mpeg2-dvd m2v file won't playback an image in Encore CS6 or QT?

    I've also posted in Encore, but this group sees a lot more traffic and supposed to deliver tomorrow.
    Exported media as mpg2-dvd from PP CC 2014, imported as timeline with the .wav into Encore as suggested here: Adobe TV
    I don't know if this is an export issue, or an import-into-Encore issue. I get sound but no image in the Encore monitor window. The m2v file plays back in VLC, but no image in QT, and attempted playback gets me spinning beach balls.
    Thoughts? Just need to burn a DVD for client delivery tomorrow. Yes, a DVD.
    I'm running osx 10.9.5, 2.7GHz i7/16GB RAM MBP with a couple of SSDs in it, and a Thunderbolt RAID 1 for media.
    Thanks for any leads.

    If you can post screen grabs of the Export Settings and Encore screen, might be of help. Have not run into this before, no video in Encore.
    Thanks
