I have a "bad" printer listed as a choice for printing .pdfs.

The printer in question was deleted awhile ago for my other printing by going into the control panel ane deleting it from the devices and printers.  My problem is when tryign to print a .pdf, the "bad" printer seems to be my default and if I don't remember to change it, nothing prints.  So how do I find and delete the bad printer from the choices in the printing prompt window?

Thanks for the information. Can you please ensure that the printer is not listed in the Printer section on your computer.
You can do the same by:
1. Clicking on Start and navigating to the Devices and Printers section.
2. Do you see your "bad" printer listed there. If so, try and delete the same.
3. If deleting the same does not work, try and make some other printer as the default printer by right clicking on the same and clicking on "Set as Default Printer"
Does this help resolve the problem?
If it does not, then can you try and launch any other non Adobe application and see which is the Default Printer listed in their Print dialog?

  • I have installed Lion and have problems to print PDF from prewiev.

    I have installed Lion and have problems to print PDF from prewiev. When trying to print Prewiev locks. Anyone out there with the same problem?

    Hello David and Nicole
    I just installed Lion on my iMac, which was purchased in 2007, and I cannot print from Preview; it keeps locking up and not responding. So, I have to force quit Preview. I have been sending error reports to Apple. I suggest everyone who has this problem, send error reports!
    I can print from other applications, like Pages, with my Canon Laserjet. I do not think it is a printer issue becasue I can print in other application.
    I took your advice and installed Adobe reader. Now I can print pdf's.
    Thanks

  • 2002 not listed as a choice for "Fit Check" for car cd player?

    I want to buy a cd player for my 2002, 2DR Coupe Mustang and when I went to see which cd players would fit in my car with the "Fit Check", there was no option for 2002. It goes right from 2001 to 2003. I called the customer service and was on hold for 10 minutes before I hung up. I also sent an email to customer service which sent me an automatic response directing me to the "Help Topics" section of the website which I already checked. I am not going to buy a CD player if I don't know whether or not it fits. Has anyone else come across this problem and know how to address it? Or is there something I'm missing? Did 2002 never happen? Just kidding about that last part. But seriously, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Your car will fit any single DIN radio. There are several different selections as far as radio size. Standard decks sold by Best Buy will be either a single DIN or Double DIN (DDIN) radio. You would use a dashkit to fill in for the larger opening. The sizes you have for a radio would be as follows:
    Shaft style (older two knob radios)
    Micro or half DIN
    DIN (standard)
    DIN and a half. (about 80 percent dodge, ford, and GM products from the factory)
    Double DIN or DDIN (Largest opening availible. Newer Fords, Toyotas, Nissans)
    Corporate (special opening might be hard to find kits for... (2000-2004ish Tarus, Hondas)
    I've also seen Custom form factors which usually don't have any replacements. Like cubed shape (Caddys, etc)
    You can simply call your local Best Buy installation bay and they should have a majority of them including your Mustang. What you should have ready for the installer is:
    Make, model, year made. The installer might ask other questions like if it premium sound (Infinity, Bose, Clarion, Boston Acoustics, etc). We would be more than happy to assist you when that time comes.

  • How to filter list of digital certificates for signing PDF

    Is it possible to change the configuration of Reader installation to filter the list of installed certificates that can be used for digitally signing documents?
    The filtered list will appear when users attempt to select a certificate for digitally signing a document.
    Thanks.

    Hi Carla,
    Unfortunately, Extended Key Usage is not one of the properties you can enforce.
    The things you can set are:
    appearanceFilter (i.e. enforce the use of a custom signature appearance)
    certspec(i.e. the signing certificate must meet some specific criteria)  <<<----- This is what you are more interested in, more below
    digestMethod(i.e. enforce the use of a specific cryptographic hashing algorithm)
    filter (i.e. enforce the use of a specific security handler if you want to use something other than the one built into Acrobat)
    legalAttestations (i.e. enforce the reason or purpose of the certifying signature)
    lockDocument (i.e. enforce any further changes to the document after the signature is applied)
    mdp (i.e. the rules for changing the document applied as part of a certifying signature)
    reasons (i.e. a list of one or more reasons the signer can use, as opposed to them adding their own)
    shouldAddRevInfo (i.e. force the inclusion on the revocation information (CRL or OCSP response) in the PDF file)
    subFilter (i.e. require the use of a specific signature format. This is very arcane)
    timeStampspec (i.e. require the use of a specific time stamp server)
    version (i.e the minimum version of Acrobat that can decipher the signature. the only two options are versions 6 or 8)
    The second item is the certspec, and this is what I've been pointing you towards. For the sake of discussion, think of everything you can read in a certificate as an extension. The serial number is an extension, the subject is an extension, the valid from date is an extension, etc. When a certificate is created, some of these extensions are required, other optional, and you can even add in extension that are not publicly defined, and only you will know about.
    Acrobat has the ability to enforce the signer to use a certificate that contains some, but not all of the known extensions. The extensions it can enforce are:
    issuer (i.e. require the use of a certificate that is issued by a specific Certificate Authority)
    keyUsage (i.e. require the signers certificate contain one or more of the nine possible values that can be included)
    oid (i.e. require that the Certificate Policy extension contain a specific value)
    subject (i.e. require that the document is signed by one specific person using one specific digital ID)
    subjectDN (i.e. require that the document is signed by one specific person, but they get to choose which digital ID to use)
    url (i.e. if a required digital ID is not available, where the signer can procure an acceptable digital ID)
    urlType (i.e. if the user is directed to the URL, should it be a web server where they can download a digital ID or a remote signing server where the digital ID stays on the remote server)
    That's it. If it's not one of these items then Acrobat cannot enforce that the item is available. Extended Key Usage is not on the list.

  • 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

    Adobe Reader 7, Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard, or Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional? Acrobat Reader 7 doesn't exists.

  • Cannot print pdf doc

    After upgrading to 11.0.10 I cannot print PDF. I've got 2 boxes: The document cannot be printed and There were no Pages selected.

    I think we need to know what Sibleyfam is using as a PDF reader. I have had difficulties printing PDFs using Adobe Reader to various HP LaserJets but if I open the files using Preview they print without any problem at all. Right-click or Control-click on the PDF icon and select the Open With option... then slide across to the available applications and select Preview... if, of course, the document was opening in Adobe Reader previously. If it won't print from Preview it could be a postscript error generated by a bad font in the PDF. Opening the file in Photoshop or similar so you are, effectively, rasterizing the font data may solve the problem if a dodgy font is the issue. Converting the file to Postscript should also produce the same fix though I just 'printed' a PDF as a .ps file and the text was still selectable making me think that the font problem (if it is this) will not disappear after the conversion.
    I hope this helps eliminate something even if it doesn't solve your problem.

  • Problem with printing pdf file

    hello,
    lately i have problem with printing pdf file:
    i click on the print button and the respod is very slow
    it takes more than a minute till the print window apears.
    i tryied to install version X but it's the same, the problem exist only when printing via adobe reader,
    other programs i'd working much faster.
    please advice,
    thank you

    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.

  • Reader 10.1.4. Printing PDF by command line

    Hi
    In an application I have developed I print PDF files to a defined printer using command line, such as
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\acrord32.exe" /N /T "myPDFfile.pdf" "\\servername\printername"
    I have noticed a change of behaviour with Reader 10.1.4 to previous versions.
    To test locally I share a local printer (e.g. share name "bobsprinter") connected to my machine ("bobsmachine") and include it in the command line as follows
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\acrord32.exe" /N /T "myPDFfile.pdf" "\\bobsmachine\bobsprinter"
    I have noticed that with Reader 10.1.4 a print job is no longer submitted, unless I take out the machine name and just leave in the shared printer name:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\acrord32.exe" /N /T "myPDFfile.pdf" "bobsprinter"
    Where it then works OK.
    Question: Why would there be this change of behaviour in 10.1.4? Is there anything I need to consider? I have not come across anything in the release notes.
    I have noted that on my customer's site my command line (with machien and printer name) still works OK with 10.1.4. Maybe because the shared printer is on another network?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for reporting the problem faced by you. My investigations suggest that command line printing behavior between Reader 10.1.3 and 10.1.4 is still the same.
    It prints the document on Reader 10.1.3 and 10.1.4 only when you do not specify the servername(localhost) on command line. However, It prints both with/without using the servername when Acrobat is used.
    Thanks,

  • Exporting document as print PDF having custom Links not raising "CreateResourceStream" on custom Links Resource Handler.

    Print PDF export not raising any callBack(CanCreateResourceStream, CreateResourceStream) on my custom resource handler (ILinkresourceHandler) this lead to Low resolution images on PDF on other hand all Other export like Interactive PDF, PNG, JPEG even Print are working fine .CustomDataLink Sample also have same problem .

    Print PDF Export & IDML Export work on background thread means only model plugin get callbacks related to PDF export but my LinkResourceHandle Implemented in UI Plugin so I fix my problem by moving LinkResourceHandler implementation to new model plugin.if you want it to be in UI pligon only than put an empty text file name "DisableAsyncExport" in macos content folder inside app on mac, this will disable background export of PDF & IDML .

  • User can't print pdf's in Internet Explorer

    He does not have a problem printing pdf's in general. He was able to print pdf's directly while in IE until Acrobat was installed on his PC last week. Reader XI is also on  his PC.

    I don't understand the "right-click" on the above request.
    Does the user have a floating toolbar when viewing PDFs on IE:
    This is what he should be using for printing.

  • Can no longer print from Photoshop CS^ have upgraded drivers error message reads There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."

    I have upgraded my iMac to Yosemite but now my two Canon Printers no longer print from Photoshop CS6. I have upgraded the drivers. All other applications including Lightroom are fine. I am receiving an error message as follows:"There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." How can I get the OS to return a list of printers to Photoshop when Photoshop requests a list.

    Have you printed to this printer from 10.10 before?  If so, check your connections.
