My pc will not print a pdf made on mac os?

my pc will not print a pdf made on mac os? Anybody out in adobe land have any helpful tips or suggestions, or I am I doomed to running to kinko's everytime I need to print a signed pdf from a mac user, it's 2014, and many dumb IT problems still exist in the world. But hey, we can put people on the moon, and sounds like mars is on the way, why adobe, why?

This can happen with PDFs made in Preview (Part of Mac OS X). PDFs created with Preview are "quirky" at best with Reader. Especially if they contain form fields or images. THAT's an Apple thing. Whenever I need something "universal" I always make it with Acrobat Pro, because I deal with PC clients all week long.
Even PDFs made with Acrobat on a PC, signed and then saved with Preview, will have problems.

  • Acrobat X and XI will not print many pdf documents.

    Acrobat X and XI will not print many pdf documents. When I click Print, the document fades and I get a dialog box that says "Adobe Acrobat has Stopped Working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I was experiencing this with Acrobat X so I upgraded to XI, but the problem is exactly the same. I am using Windows 7 Professional operating system.

    Thank you for your reply. I have several printers available on our network,
    the program doesn't even go as far as allowing me to select a printer. I am
    trying to print to an HP 1320n or a LANIER MP C5502 PCL 6. I have changed
    the default printer, but the result is still the same. In does the same
    thing with Adobe (Standard XI) PDF set as the default printer.

    I had the same issue - and it is discussed in several posts around the net without providing a solution.
    Here is my solution on a Windows 8 system:
    I reinstalled Windows 8 to identify the problem and installed stepwise all programmes I had
    The problem occurred after I installed Corel Draw X6 with Ghostscript and the Shell Extension.
    Once I went back to the last restore point BEFORE the Corel Draw installation, Adobe worked perfectly fine. I reinstalled Corel WITHOUT Ghostscript and the Shell Extension (didn't want to verify which one caused the problem) everything was fine again.
    Yet, deinstalling Ghostscript and the Shell Extension did not solve the problem.
    I also did not try to repair Adobe after the deinstall of Ghostscript and Shell Extension
    Hope that helps some otheres here
    Merry Christmas!

    Hi Silverfox2895,

  • Firefox will not print a pdf file

    I have Firefox 9.0 and it will not print a pdf file using the print icon but will print using Ctr+p. It will print in internet explorer. What do I need to do ?

    Which "print" icon - the one on a Firefox toolbar or the one in the PDF window?
    If you are using Adobe Reader to display PDF file, the newer version of Adobe hides the Reader toolbar by default - hit F8 to show the toolbar, the print icon should be on the Adobe toolbar.

  • InDesign Will Not Print to PDF

    Good morning;
    I am currently running InDesign CS5.5 on Windows 7.
    I have a 103 page document which will only print to page 41 when I choose "Print to PDF".
    It does not export any pages, when I choose "Export" and select pdf, or when I choose a "PDF Preset".
    All 103 pages print to paper fine.
    The document was working fine earlier this week. I could print everything to pdf.LiveFlight reports no errors
    I opened an earlier version of the file, and it also could not print to pdf past page 41.Once again, there were no errors
    I've tried restarting the computer, shutting down, etc
    I was able to successfuly print the following to pdf:
    a 45 page blank document
    A 49 page document with images on each page.
    I deleted page 42, and it was able to go two pages past. This is the log generated after the operation is complete (and unsuccessful):

    Any thoughts?

    Are you sure it’s been fully generated? PDF export is a background process.
    To be sure, select view PDF after exporting in the export dialog box.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210 series will not print a PDF files.

    When opening up a PDF file and attempting to print, the printer will not operate.  I get the "save as" box, and I can only save in a format that is not usable.  If I try to open the saved file, it cannot find an application to use the file.  What must I do to make the printer print the PDF file?

    Hi there clayb,
    Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? what operating system is this for and are there any errors when printing?

  • HP ENVY 7640 Will Not Print In Color On A Mac

    I purchased an HP Envy 7640,I'm running  10.6.8 on my Macbook pro, I can't install the driver for the printer on my computer because it says that it is not compatible. Nevertheless I am able to print, but it will not pint in color. Is there any solutions that I can try?There are no 

    Hi MrsLoghouse, 
    I would like to help you print from Word on your Mac. Because you can print from other programs, I trust the issue is not actually related to the HP Printer. Damaged documents or documents that contain damaged graphics or damaged fonts can cause print errors. Before you reinstall drivers or software, test the program's ability to print.
    1. Open a new blank document in Word.
    2. On the first line of the document, type the following text: =rand(10)
    3. Press ENTER. This inserts 10 paragraphs of sample text.
    4. Try to print the document.
    5. If the document prints successfully, change to a different font, or insert clip art, a table, or a drawing object. How to troubleshoot print failures in Word for Mac, Excel for Mac or Powerpoint for Mac.
    If the issue persists, I suggest you contact Microsoft, or reach out to the Microsoft Community.
    I hope this is helpful.

  • My epson stylist 3880 will not print with Photoshop CC on Mac OS 10.9.3. I've already talked to epson, the printer works with Preview.

    There is nothing wrong with the printer or drivers. Something is wrong with Photoshop CC.   The error box says:
    "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."
    Any suggestions?

    Hello charlottedk, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are having cartridge and printhead problems.  I would like to try and assist.
    I would suggest performing a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also recommend following the steps in this document on an 'Incompatible Print Cartridge' or 'Print Cartridge Problem' Message Displays on the Computer or P...
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

    I can make copies in color. Print word documents with color and pretty much everything else but print in color any PDF or JPG. I have tried various printer configurations. I have tried from acrobat, illustrator, and photoshop. With photoshop i even tried the option of letting photoshop control the color settings.

I do not get any errors and the ink levels are fine. 3/4s full in fact of every color

  • Office OSX will not print, but PDF will...

    Hi,
    I've got an Epson R320 of which I downloaded the most recent drivers for hoping this issue would resolve, but no luck.
    I have MS Office OSX loaded on my iMac 600mhz "snow". If I save the file as a PDF and then print using "Preview" it will print. However, even a test page won't print in Word.
    Any suggestions? Is this an Office OSX issue or a printer issue?
    Thanks,
    Justin

  • Adobe Acrobat XI will not print to pdf. Error message says no pages selected.

    When I try to print a document created with Acrobat XI (recently updated), I get an error message telling me that no pages were selected. On the print window the "All" radio button is selected but the others are grayed out and not selectable. This was not a problem before I upgraded to XI.

    Hi marsha's angels,
    Please see No pages selected printing error (Printing & Prepress).
    If the solutions listed there don't do the trick, please let us know. It'll help us narrow down the problem if you can let us know what operating system you have, and whether the printing error is specific to one file, or occurs with any file that you try to print.
    Best,

  • Pdf documents will not print properly

    my imac running 10.5.8 will not print some pdf documents properly.  In particular sheet music will only print as horizontal and vertical lines - the symbols and notes do not print.  The 'print preview' shows all the symbols and notation correctly.
    This occurs in both Adobe Acrobat (v10.1.3) and Preview (v 4.2 - 469.5).
    Printer in use is a HP 2600n connected via USB cable.

    Seems it's not sending the Font to the Printer, or the Font has a conflict & the Printer thinks it's another Font.
    Open Font Book & Validate all Fonts & check for duplicates.

  • Gradient Feather not printing to PDF or on paper

    Hi, I have a file that has a white gradient feather that will not print to PDF or on paper. It only shows it on the screen. I have never had this problem before in the program but seems to have started today. What can I do to fix this?
    Thank you for your time!

    I am working with InDesign CS4 on XP.
    It is a native gradient created in InDesign.
    It did not show up in Overprint Preview.
