One char+ when printing with adobe reader

hi,
i've sometimes a strange problem with adobe reader 9.0
when i print a pdf. the view of the screen is ok,
but on the paper (happens also on different printers) all printed text (chars and numbers) are increased by 1.
this meas:
1 will get 2
2 will get 3
A will get B
a will get b
etc.
when i print it again this does not happens.
does anyone know this problem / have a solution for it?
regards, johannes

>Has anyone come across a similar scenario?
Yeah, it's come up in the forum before. Usually older HP printers with old firmware. If newer firmware is available, I would try that. Otherwise you'll need to use the PCL driver.

Can you disable the "auto open" feature when printing with Adobe Reader x verxion 10.1.6?

Every time I print a file to PDF, it automatically opens. Can this be turned off? I was able to stop this in a previous version of Adobe, but it's been so long, I don't remember how I did it. I've looked at the settings on my PDF printer as well, but I can't find anything.
Thanks.

Hi Sherry,
You can check the printer preferences for Adobe PDF printer and deselect 'view Adobe PDF result'.
On windows machine, please go to control panel and then open printer and devices. right click on the Adobe PDF printer and select printer properties/Preferences.
You must be using Adobe Acrobat to print a document to PDF.
you cannot print a document to PDF using Adobe Reader.
Thanks

Barcode printed with Adobe Reader XI cannot be recognized by barcode reader

Dear Support,
We are generating barcode and convert it into pdf using Crystal Report for .NET Framework 2.0.
The pdf is opened with Adobe reader XI / FoxitReader 4.3.1. And it is printed with Avery Dennison AP 5.4 300DPI.
When the pdf is printed with Adobe reader XI, the barcode cannot be read with barcode reader, but when it is printed with FoxitReader 4.3.1, barcode can be read with barcode reader.
I've compared the two printed barcodes and found Adobe printed the lines thicker and the characters wider. Thus, two lines sticked together and become 1 line. As result, it cannot be recognized by barcode reader.
Could you explain why did this occur and how can I fix it in Adobe? Are there any settings I can change to solve it?
Thank you very much.
Operating System: Windows Xp or Windows 7
Application: Adobe reader XI or FoxitReader 4.3.1

Thanks Pak,
I've attached the pdf on:
https://files.acrobat.com/preview/47dde05c-4835-4bdc-881f-c406f8056f01
As the problem I've described in the post only occurs on specific printer, I've found a way to reproduce the barcode problem in most of the printer.
From the pdf I've provided, you may print it with Adobe and Foxit, using a printing scale of 190%.
For the Adoble one, you may observe some white lines in between the labels, and the Foxit, there are no white lines.
I do believe that two problems are related. Do you have any idea on that?

Borderless printing with Adobe reader or acrobat and HP Officejet Pro 8100

Hello,
When printing borderless with my Pro 8100 the printed pdf moves about 2mm to te left on the paper. (White vertical strip on the right side is the result and on the left side something is missing!).
What causes the problem seems to be that the HP Pro 8100 printsoftware makes the A4-format a littlebit larger (214,55 x 300,91) than an actual A4-format (210,00 x 297,00) when you choose borderless printing.
Therefore, I suppose that the pdf shoud be centered before printing. Adobe reader doesn't seem to have the possiblity to center the page however.
Any tips?

The borderless printing option is intended to print photo's on photo paper. When printing borderless the print is slightly oversized to eliminate (or reduce) to chance for white edges due to media skey. Depending on your operating system you may have a setting in the Advanced tab of the driver for Overspray, set this to minimum and see if it helps.

Missing pages when printing in Adobe Reader 9?

I'm trying to print a chapter in a PDF document using the Bookmarks Navigational Panel but whenever I print the chapter (i.e. right-click on the chapter and select Print Pages), some pages are skipped and not printed.
I have tried to re-install Adobe Reader 9, print different chapters in the PDF document, print chapters in other PDF documents, and use different machines-- but I always get the same problem. It seems that the only workaround is to use the File menu and print specific page numbers.
Is there a setting or a patch that I can apply to resolve this problem? I would really like to print chapters from the bookmarks navigational panel and not have to look up the page numbers!

Thanks ! - and you are most "welcome" "lera1981" ! .........
With respect to the printing problem with Reader 9.x and your report of your experiments with Reader 9.x and with network-printing then I tend to agree with your assessment that it would seem as the problem is probably with Reader 9.x's printing capeability .
Just for the record I would like to report that my experience with network-connected office-class HP printer has been that some printing problems I've seen in the past with Adobe Reader X.xx has been rectified though the change of driver-type and/or driver-generation such as a switch from e.g. a "PCL 6" driver to a "PCL 5" driver . Last time I experienced a printing problem with a network-connected office-class HP printer I then had to change the driver to their "HP Universal Print Driver".
While I would say that you are probably right that a change of printer-driver would not make a difference in your case then the point of my writing is that Adobe Reader X.xx or (it's interaction with) Windows seems to be "printer-driver tech-sensitive" understood as that Reader printing tends to respond differently to different "driver tech" !

Can't print with Adobe Reader 9.4.1

I have an Apple Computer. I can't print any PDF documents with Adobe 9.4.1
For the last couple weeks, I get the error message (from my Epson printer) says:
pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number 13
This has never been a problem before.
I use Snow Leopard 10.6.5
Any help please.

Now it prints one page at a time, but for longer documents it's a drag that you have to click print for every page. This happened when I first installed Adobe Reader 9.1 in my MacBookPro and then was solved by Adobe via an update, so I guess I'll wait it out. Thanks everybody!

Printing with Adobe Reader?

Am having difficulty printing with a new version of Adobe Reader. When I go to print the pdf from the web it appears blank. I know it has text on it but it won't print as though it does. It also saves as a blank pdf.

Seems to be a bug of some sort in the latest version of the Acrobat Reader web browser plugin. It happens in Snow Leopard, too. The solution is to NOT press Command+P to print the document. Instead, click on the printer icon you see at the top left of Safari's window.
You'll get a completely different looking print dialogue (below) presented by Acrobat. That one will print correctly.

Printing with Adobe Reader in Windows 8?

I am using Windows 8 which automatically took me to the new version of Adobe Reader. You know, the clean screen with no toolbars. However it's not apparent where to go to print the document that autoloads in .pdf format. The hidden toolbar that comes up at the bottom doesn't have a print icon. Thanks for your help. Drinian256.

No point in me starting a new thread.
I have yet to find another one on the same issue - but i'll keep digging.
Installing adobe reader for Windows 8 seems to force us to install as an app.
I am unable to find anyway to print from this app.
Any ideas?

PDF garbled when printed in Adobe Reader

Hi
I've made a document in Pages, then saved it as a Postscript file, and then converted it to a PDF in Preview. When I load it up in Adobe Reader 7, it comes up fine. However, when I print it out, all the text is garbled and the images are seriously messed up.
The problem could lie with several links in this chain, but I was wondering whether anyone had had similar problems and/or could help.
Thanks!
Tim

Thanks for the reply.
Well, I managed to print out the PDF file from my flat-mate's PC on a laser printer, so I'm guessing that the problem lies either with the Mac version of Adobe Reader 7 or the HP printer driver. As the printer copes fine with Preview, it might be Reader's fault.
But this does mean that all hope isn't lost on my project using Pages.
A few more investigations are needed I think.

Error in Printing with Adobe Reader 11.0.2

I just upgraded Adobe Reader from X to XI on my older Windows XP desktop. When I opened a PDF file and tried to print it, I got a pop up box saying: Prop Res DLL Not Loaded with an OK button. I could not get rid of the error mesage until I closed down Adobe Reader repeatedly. Version X worked correctly so I uninstalled XI and resinstalled it from Adobe's Reader Web Site but stiull get the same error. Any suggestions?

I did go to the HP website, downloaded the latest drivers, and corrected the problem. Thanks for the help.

Can't printe with Adobe Reader 10.1.2

I recently downloaded Adobe reader 10.1.2 and can no longer print single pages. In particular I can't print 1 page documents. I select print and then click "Print", the print dialogue box comes up but it does not change from 0%, the box closes and nothing comes through to my printer?? If I print multi-page document then it prints OK. I had no problem printing with previous versions including 10.1.1 and can't go back to previous versions whenI try to re-download. Has anyone else had this problem?

Please try the solution provided on: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/928/cpsid_92870.html
That should fix things.

Printing with Adobe reader produces blurry fonts

Hello,
I've recently bought a Canon Pixma MP220, installed and updated with the latest drivers for OSX 10.4 from the Canon website.
When I print pdf documents with the Adobe reader (8.1.2), the printed fonts are really blurry and the speed of the printer is slow, even for black/white text-only documents.
The same document printed with Preview looks fine and the printer is faster than the previous case. Note that the printer configuration is the same in both cases.
Other applications, such as Word 04, print fine; so it seems an Adobe related configuration issue. Any idea?
Thanks,
Vittorio

I was thinking this part onward...
"Adjust resolution for copied images
Image resolution is always an important consideration when copying and pasting data and when viewing images on screen or on printed pages. Screen resolutions are optimal at 72 pixels per inch (ppi) at 100% size. If you zoom in to a 72-ppi image, you quickly see image degradation. If you want to print documents containing images, 72 ppi is insufficient for almost every printer. You need higher resolutions in order to print images that look satisfactory.
You may want to copy images or page data in Adobe Reader at higher resolutions than the standard monitor view of 72 ppi. Adobe Reader has a special setting that lets you capture data at different resolutions.
To capture data at a user-definable resolution:
1.
Open the Preferences dialog by pressing Ctrl/Command+K.
2.
Select General in the left pane. In the Selection pane, check the Use fixed resolution for snapshots box (Figure 4).
rdratimages_4int
Figure 4: Check the box for Use fixed resolution for snapshots.
3.
Change the number in the Resolution box. Type a number—like 300—that might be used for printing images at better quality.

Unable to Print with Adobe Reader 9

I just installed the free Adobe Reader 9. After opening a PDF document and attempted to print, I received an alert from Adobe Reader stating that there are no printers installed.
This is not the case, there are several network printers installed and I'm able to print to them using other applications, such as Word, Browsers, etc.
Anyone have any ideas before I uninstall this beast of a reader?
Thanks!!

My machine has been fine since I last reinstalled adobe reader 9. Tried to print a large pdf file today from my inbox in outlook express and machine again experienced the same problem. Was not able to open my printer and faxes window and unable to print anything else. I resolved the problem by taking the following actions:
Opened Administrative tools in control paneland went to Component Services and clicked on Services(local).Scrolled window down to Print spooler and highlighted Print spooler. Tried to Stop the service. After some time received an error 1053 indicating that the service could not be stopped successfully.
I then Tried to restart the service. This appeared to work correctly. at this point tried to reopen printer and faxes window and could now see my printers briefly before getting error msg indicating spooler problem again. When clicking on my printer icon I could see the document that I had tried to print when I experience the original problem in the printer queue. At this point decided to try and find the file in question. Found a file in C:\windows\system32\spool\printers directory with an filename of xxxxx.spl. This is the spooler print file. I then tried to delete this file but was not allowed to do so by the system. I then used a program called unlocker assistant and deleted the file. Hey presto all printing is now restored and working well again.
It appears that the spool file generated was corrupted and the spooler could not handle the problem. Am not sure where the problem is created. It could be with adobe 9 or it could be a windows spooler problem.

Can't print with Adobe Reader

I got a new update to Adobe reader. When ordered to print, the printer goes offline. Only happens with Reader.
I'm running OS10.6.8 and I have an HP 1022 printer. The printer driver is up to date.
This happened a year or so ago and then cleared up.
Any suggestions? Or is this Adobe sabotage again?

Which reader? Both 10.1.5 and 11.0.01 print here in all three OSs.
