FrameMaker 10 not printing PDFs

When I try to print to PDF on FrameMaker, I get the "printing book" dialog box but nothing happens....the PDF is not created and no errors are reported. If I choose to print to poscript, open Acrobat Distiller, the PDF is generated there.
I recently upgraded to FrameMaker and Acrobat 10. I didn't have any issues on 9. I'm currently running both versions of FrameMaker on my PC for now.
Is this a Windows 7 issue? My co-worker has both versions of FrameMaker running with acrobat 10, but on an XP system and everything seems fine on his end.
Thanks,

I've never used a comma in a file name or path in my life; I'm curious as to why anyone would do so.
Multiple versions and archival copies of the same document.
We routinely generate two versions of the .ps output:
12345M_web.ps
and
12345M_print.ps (visible navs in doc suppressed)
Because the platform is Solaris, we'd gotten into the habit of using:
12345M,web.ps
We'll eventually have to migrate to Windows, and unless the comma bug is fixed by then, we'll have problems doing this.
When we release a new version of a manual, we make a second copy with a time-stamped filename, for archival purposes.
"12345M.pdf" is always the current version (of the web version).
The document source directory might also contain:
12345M_1999-03-17_jfk.pdf
12345M_2002-04-03_gwb.pdf
12345M_2010-07-23_ati.pdf
where "ati" are the Author's Three Initials.
Memorializing the vintage in the file name matters because we have multiple versions of the same document, and the directory timestamp isn't necessarily preserved in network copying. The author info is for knowing who to blame.
There are well-known characters [e.g. /\:;] that need to be avoided because they are legal on some OS'es and not on others. But I'd expect commas to work [now] because they apparently haven't been "illegal" since NetWare on DOS.
Frame does work fine with spaces in filepath. Personally, I consider spaces in filepath to be extremely unwise.

HP laserjet 1536dnf will not print pdf's

My laser jet 1536dnf will not print pdfs. Prints everything else. I have adobe acrobat 9. I have unistalled the driver/software for the printer and reinstalled. Still not fixed. When I pull up the pdf and select print, then hit ok, nothing happens. However, I can print pdfs to the other printer connected to my computer. This logically brings the conclusion that the issue is with the laser jet driver. Does anyone have a clue as to how to fix this?

Hi , I see that you are having issues printing PDF documents, just from the Laserjet M1536dnf printer. I will certainly do my best to help you. Try printing a page from the printer's User Guide, to see if you have the same results. LASERJET PRO M1530.Let me know the results. Print the PDF as an image: Open the original PDF file, if necessary.Click File, and then click Print, or click the Print icon. The Print window opens.Click Advanced. The Advanced Print Setup window opens.Select the Print As Image checkbox, change any other settings as desired, and then click OK.On the Print window, click OK again to begin printing.Run the Adobe updates. Product updates. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know. Thank You.

HP 7780 All in One Printer will not print PDF files!!!

I have an HP 7780 All in One printer setup as a network printer. It will copy, scan, and print everything except PDF files. Why will it not print PDF files? You send a PDF file to print. The printer spins up like its about to start printing and then nothing. No error message or nothing. Nothing even shows up in the print queue as waiting to print.

Happy Monday edam. Green is actually the result of two or more color mixed together. Lets try printing a self test report:
Make sure the All-in-One is on and loaded with unused, plain, white paper.
Press Setup . The Setup Menu appears.
Press the down arrow button to select Tools , and then press OK .
Select Self-test Report , and press OK . The self-test report prints.
Let me know the results of the self test. Are all the colors present on the self test or are you missing specific colors?
Thanks!

IP8720 will not print PDF files

My iP8720 will not print PDF files. It doesn't matter whether the file was created in Acrobat 8 Pro, Word, WordPerfect. It doesn't matter if the PDF contains images or just text. It does print files from Word and WordPerfect, as well as Photoshop, etc. PDFs seem to be the only problem. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate. Any help woud be appreciated.
Solved!

Hi clarowl,
Do you receive an error when trying to print the PDF files, or does the printer give no error and just not even attempt to print?

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!

Another user experience exactly the same issue with vista and printing from Adobe reader.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/642000?tstart=1 Its copied below as a reference.

My Aunty lives 70 miles away so will not be trying anything else.
The printer works fine with every other application only Adobe Reader files will print.

Can not print PDF from any application (acrobat 5.0)
"Distiller failed to start up due to an internal error."
It has been years since I have used my old Mac OS 9.2

You can use the OS 9 app PrintToPDF http://www.jwwalker.com/pages/pdf.html to create PDF files from other apps files.

My Office Print Pro 8600 Plus will not print pdf files sent to it from an iPad using ePrint.

My Office Print Pro 8600 Plus will not print pdf files sent to it from an iPad using ePrint. I just get an error message when I go to the HP Eprint centre. It does print the cover e-mail but nothing else. The attachment is not secure as far as I can see. I have tried sending an attachment from my Mac and that worked fine.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello krnkln3.
Are you trying to send the PDF as an attachment in an e-mail sent to the ePrint e-mail address of the printer or are you trying to print using the ePrint app?
Try sending the same PDF document to the printer's ePrint e-mail address and let us know if that works. If this works but using the ePrint app is not working, maybe the ePrint app is not working fine with this PDF document (it could be due to it's size or something else). Remember that you can always use the e-mail ePrint address of the printer to send PDF documents as the processing is happening at the HP servers and not in your iPad as when you try to send it using the ePrint app.

Print only allows to save as All Files* - will not print .pdf

Had Reader 9, now 10. Received document, saved as .pdf. Attempted to print this .pdf, but when click Print, document needed to be saved again, but was only giving me format as All Files* to save in. Still did not print. Have checked all Printer settings -still won't print. Conflict in 9 and 10? Do I need to somehow reinstall 9 - as that was working?

Vielen Dank -
but why would the advanced tab change as I never had changed that feature in other .pdf s . Is it default with 10?
Usually the printer shows - Print to file, and allows me to change the format, whether as a .docx, .jpeg or .pdf, but that option wasn't available.
Technology is changing too fast for me to catch up and master!!!!

HP Laserjet 1320 not printing PDF files

I can't print PDF or JPG files from my MacBook Pro to my HP Laserjet 1320, connected on USB. MS Word files are printing fine and so are Test Print commands. This has morphed today from an earlier problem a few days where only the 1st page of PDF documents was printing. The printer blinks the green light for a while and then goes back to normal. The Print Box on the Mac says "Printing - Sending Data to Printer" for a while, and then the file name, etc disappear, and everything is back to normal, as if nothing ever happened. Meanwhile MS Word files go on printing without any problem.

I have been experiencing the same problem.
(I moved from 10.6.8 to 10.10.2)
I did a lot of searching and these two steps have helped. (possibly fixed it for good?)
Run "Disk Utility" —> Verify Disk Permissions (Repair any errors)
The printer settings need to be reset. (see link below) NOTE: You will lose all the printers in your system settings and have to reinstall them.
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18614?locale=en_US
Please note that HP does not have a update for 10.10.2 for this model.
The last driver version from HP is: 19.8
Adobe does not have a plug-in update that I can find, yet...
The more you change the settings as you use each proram (firefox, word, numbers, safari, adobe reader) the worse the problem seems to get. I would suggest that you pick one setting and keep it. (Program based settings seem to be less prone to errors.)
Let me know if this helps.

HP 1200 not printing pdfs/uses default fonts in Word docs

Happy Birthday USA!
Last week I loaded 10.4.10 to Mac mini and eversince I have not been able to print pdfs from Adobe Reader or print desired fonts from Word.
(I have overcome default to US letter problem in Word)
I have loaded latest drivers from HP site/ installed original drivers from HP disk but these appear to be for OSX rather than 10.4.10.
Any suggestions?

First of all I would try running Repair Disk Permissions. This can help with printing issues, especially after updates.
If you are able to print the same pdf's from Preview that you cannot from Acrobat, then you could try deleting its plist with it closed. If that doesn't help then try deleting and reinstalling Reader.
Re Word, are you getting Courier substitution for the fonts that are not printing or is the line blank where the text should be?

Reader Plug-in not printing PDFs correctly after InDesign Install on Mac OS 10.9.5

Installed InDesign trial yesterday. Ever since, no matter what browser I use, if I try to print PDFs from a browser, if the pages are in portrait mode, it will display them in portrait mode within the browser, but when I go to print them, the page appears in landscape and the bottom of each page does not print. It doesn't matter whether I select portrait or landscape mode. The page in the preview does not rotate. Some of the websites I use do not allow saving of a PDF, only viewing it in my browser window, so I can't save and use Preview to try to print it.
HELP!

Are you using Adobe Reader or Apple Preview to print PDFs?
You should not use Apple Preview to do anything with PDFs as it is not a reliable PDF viewer. Use Adobe Acrobat or Reader for PDFs only.
Do you have installed any PDF plugins? On the Apple PDFs are shown without any plugins because their graphic engine Quartz is based on PDF, but it does not support completely every PDF standard, so it is better to use Adobe Acrobat or Reader. (But Apple Preview has been improved in the newest upgrades from Apples OS, so it is much better than before.)

Why can I not print PDF files

I installed Adobe Acrobat AIR and am unable to print PDF files. Can you tell me why?

Do you have Acrobat installed? Can you open it and load a PDF? If so, select print and select the desired printer. If this does not work, then tell us the error message you get. It would help to know the OS and version of Acrobat. Air is a separate product (and I still don't know what it does, sorry).
