Latest version doesn't print PDFs, says "No pages selected to print" whether I have chosen "All" or "Page 1-N"

I've installed and reinstalled the latest version of Adobe Reader at least twice, but I still get the same problem - I cannot print PDFs on paper using my local printer.
Additional info that might be helpful:
* The printer is connected and tested, and prints from other programs like MS Word.
* I can print from Adobe Reader to PDF using a program like BullZIP, but this is obviously not useful.
* I have tested various PDFs, as far as I can see this is not about the type of PDF (whether it contains macros or fields or whatever).
* The exact error messages are "The document could not be printed" and "There were no pages selected to print" in two separate popup boxes.

DO NOT USE PREVIEW TO FILL OUT PDF FORMS, IT WILL DESTROY PDF FILES. Sorry, but I had to shout here to prevent damage to your PDF files.
Here is one of the symptoms when you fill out a PDF form with Preview: If you save it and return it to the author, they will not be able to see the text that you've added to form fields - unless they click on a field, which will reveal the contents of just that field. You can recover from this problem, but Preview will also remove other field types, and will actually rewrite your complete PDF while ignoring what it does not understand.

  • Why can't I print a PDF file?  message says no pages selected to print

    When I try to print a PDF file I get two messages 'This document could not be printed.' Then 'There were no pages selected to print.'  How do I select a page to print?  or is there something else?

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?

  • Why, when I open Firefox 9.01 do I get a message that I do not have the latest version when Help-About Firefox says I do?

    There are/were three problems:
    '''1.''' Why, when I open Firefox 9.01 do I get a message that I do not have the latest version when '''Help>About''' Firefox says I do?
    '''2.''' Also, with the 8.xx version, I was unable to open in a new window with a right click until I upgraded to 9.01. (Old problem now, but I am curious.)
    '''3.''' When I tried to uninstall the older version the uninstaller told me that I had to close the open version, but it was closed according to my taskbar. I also have this problem with Thunderbird.

    1. You are using the latest version which is Firefox 9.0.1
    From your description it sounds as if you may still have the old http://www.google.com/firefox Firefox start page hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default homepage is no longer used as '''about:home''' has been in use since Firefox 4.0
    Either ignore the message, change homepage to '''about:home''', change it to another page or leave blank.

  • I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

    I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

    It sounds like you may have a 2nd generation iPod Touch. If so, 4.2.1 is the highest iOS. Please note there was never a 2nd Generation 8gB version of the iPod Touch.

  • How can I fix a printing problem: message cannot print document: "no pages selected to print" when printing a pdf file.

    I am having problems printing a pdf document. When I select a file to print and try to print it says that "no pages selected to print". The default all pages was selected by me but the message keeps coming up. I recently installed adobe reader version 11. Rebooted the computer but sitll having issues printing docs.

    Hi Pat.
    Yes, both of them lead to the very same error.
    I have a workaround, kind of, where I preview the document and select all the pages that are correct (read showing on the pages preview) as included in the 1st screenshot.
    As you can see in the first screenshot, the 5th page seems to be non-existandt, however as I try to preview it from the 3rdP software, it comes up just fine and from there I can print it individually... just annoying when you have 50 pages and 6 of then are randomly not showing up.
    If I try to print the whole document, it simply gives me the 2nd, 3rd and 4th screenshots.
    As for the 3rdP software, as stated in prior posts, it has been working flawlesly for the last 5 years, and has not been updated in any way, shape of form... As you said, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to look into that, however I don't believe the contract for the software maintenance is still in effect...
    Thanks.

  • Since installing the latest version... when I open a new window it opens everything I have minimized too... very annoying. How can I fix this, I mimimize to go back to a window not have multiple windows open.

    since installing the latest version... when I open a new window it opens everything I have minimized too... very annoying. How can I fix this, I minimize to go back to a window not have multiple windows open.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after installed last version...

    Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?

  • I tried to install the latest version of iTunes on my Windows PC, but the installation failed and I have the error message "Runtime Error R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly."

    I tried to install the latest version of iTunes on my Windows PC, but the installation failed and I have the error message "Runtime Error R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly."  When I then tried to run iTunes (assuming that, since the new install failed, my older version was still OK) I got the message "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error 1114".  I tried then uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it fresh, but encountered the same problems. Help!

  • My photosmart 5510 says online but won't print-message says unable to communicate with printer

    My  printer says it's connected wirelessly, my computer says the printer is connected, all tests say it's connected wirelessly but when I go to print it says
    Unable to communicate with printer -  printer unavailable or not connected.... might need to update IP address
    The only way to reconnect it is to turn off router and then back on again, but I have to do this every time I leave the printer for more than a few minutes.
    Any help gratefully received before the thing goes through the window!

    It sounds like the printer may be having a difficult time communicating on the network since rebooting the router seems to help.
    What brand and model is the router?
    Do you know if your network uses WEP or WPA security?
    What operating system does the computer use?  This will be good to know if any steps need to be performed from the computer.
