It is difficult to print pdf files in Firefox.

When viewing a pdf document in the Adobe plugin the Firefox print function does not work. I've seen postings which explain that this function is disabled when Adobe is being used. This begs the question of how IE is able to accomplish this.
I've also seen advice about how to find an Adobe print function. None of them worked for me, but I did find that if I right click from anywhere within the pdf document I get an option to print. Maybe this will be useful for others experiencing the same problem.
It would be good if Firefox's print function would trigger the Adobe print function. This seems to be what happens in IE.

Two other non-obvious methods:
* If you move the mouse pointer over the PDF toward the bottom of the window, you usually will get a floating toolbar with buttons to save, print, jump to a particular page, and change the zoom.
* If you press the Esc key, the "classic" Adobe Reader toolbar may appear.
I'm not sure why Firefox can't print plugin content when the plugin uses the full tab, but I don't know whether it's a high priority to change it.

Very strange! What is your installed Reader version?
Try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

I can't print PDF files using Firefox on my MAC I tried the suggested help PDF files are blank and can't be downloaded on MAC whic is my problem

You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox and use the Adobe Reader program or Preview instead.

Adobe Acrobat Pro failed to print pdf file

I downloaded adobe acrobat pro and started the 30 trial version just a few minutes ago.
I could open files through adobe acrobat and convert word files to pdf, but when i tried converting a publisher file it could not go through. An error popped up which read "Adobe PDF printer failed to print pdf file".
The publisher file I am hoping to convert to pdf is a 21 page panorama article. It contains lots of images and a variety of font types.
I do not know other alternatives for solving this issue.
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Thank you!
Erik

It seems to be that Adobe Acrobat virtual printer is not properly installed on your PC or you are not selecting Adobe PDF printer to print PDF document. Checkout the below screen shot to see proper printer.
After trying this if you have same problem you may trt some other virtual printer that easily convert or print any file as PDF, you may checkout here.

Orarrp can't print pdf file directly to printer

oracle remote print utility (orarrp) can't print pdf file directly to printer.
we expect orarrp utility can handle ".rrpa" file (i.e. pdf file generated on the application server) by directly print the file to the client's printer, i.e. invoke the acrobat reader on the client side, display the the printer selection dialogue, after confirmation print the pdf file, then the acrobat reader close automatically nicely.
However we are disappointed as the acrobat reader startup and display the pdf file content but does not print and does not close.
After testing the problem several times, there are some findings:-
Finding (A):-
(a) for the success of direct printing of pdf file, a physical path must be provided; we have tried 2 methods:
1) using drag & drop to copy the pdf file directly to the browser
2) open pdf file in the browser directly using browser menu-->File-->Open.
(b) for the failure of direct printing, a virtual path is involved and we have also tried 2 methods:
1) when web.show_document() is used
2) enter the url to the URL bar of the browser,
eg. http://appsvr.com:7777/report/test_printout/APPSVR1094707.rrpa (this is a virtual path/url)
Finding (B):-
(a)when the physical path is used, a temporary pdf file is generated in the same directory where the rrpa file exists in the application server,
e.g. in application server: d:/printout/yyy.pdf is generated for d:/printout/xxx.rrpa when direct print occurs
(b) however when the virtual path is used, there is no such temp "pdf" file generated and direct print failed.
May be when virtual path is used, orarrp utility don't know where to generate the temp "pdf" so direct print doesn't occur.
So, anyone has similar experience or further queries or has solutions, please join.
Thanks for your attention.

Hi,
It is really late to give response this post. But still who ever refering to this post for the same issue this solution is useful for achieving same in background:
Even same can be used in smartforms, for getting spool request in PDF format as well which will decrease the size of file when printing in SAP printer.
ct_tline is PDF output:

FIELD-SYMBOLS: TYPE x. " type any.
LOOP AT ct_tline INTO cs_tline.
ASSIGN cs_tline TO CASTING TYPE x.
CONCATENATE lv_pdfsource INTO lv_pdfsource IN BYTE MODE.
ENDLOOP.
