Override default print options in Adobe reader

Hello Adobe support team,
Can you please provide the possible ways to override the print options that comes by default. In the below snapshot marked in red green and blue are the ones that we want to be set as default print options for a selected document instead of users setting it for each document.
Please help!

All permanent print options are set from the Printer Control Panel without being in the printer setup from within the application.

Default Printer problems in Adobe Reader

Repost:
I have over 50 users with Adobe Reader 9.3.3 installed. Every morning someone calls and says Adobe Reader reported that there are no printers installed on their system. When I check their PC I find that the default printer setting has been removed and there is no default printer set. Once reset they have no problems with the printers or their other applications. This only happens when trying to print a PDF.
Why is Adobe Reader removing the default printer setting?
The driver has NOT been removed. Just the default setting.
In very PLAIN English the default printer check mark is GONE.

This is a strange issue indeed.!!!
Can you please let me know, whether the problem reproducible only after opening any specific file? It might be that the file is running a JavaScript on the system causing the default printer setting to be removed.
To verify the same, you can try and disable JavaScript in Adobe Reader 9.3.3 on some of the client systems, and then observe whether the problem is reproducible on their systems as they go around their normal work. (To disable javscript, goto Edit > Preferences > JavaScript and uncheck Enable Acrobat JavaScript)
If any client system tries to open a file which is trying to run a JavaScript code, they will get a Yellow message Bar on top of their page, asking for permissions to run JavaScript. This will give you an idea about the problematic file.
Hope this helps you zero in on the issue..

Default printer problems with adobe 10.1.2

I was having problems printing PDFs since upgrading to 10.1.2. After reading and trying many recommendations, I happened to notice that my default printer(I have only one printer) was listed twice on the print window. The first (default) printer is spelled "HP PSC 2350 series" (upper case 'PSC') The second is "HP psc 2350 series" (lower case 'psc') . The printer is named 'HP psc 2350 series' in my printers and devices, and if I select this printer, the page will print perfectly. Now that I have solved my printing issue, I would like to change the default setting on the adobe print window to come up as the active link, so I don't have to continue to select a different printer everytime I wish to print a document. The printer by the lower case "psc" name is set as the default printer in printers and devices, and I cannot figure out why it doesn't come up as the default printer on the adobe reader print window. I also cannot figure out how to change the default in the print window.   An added interesting fact is that I get no response in the print window when I try to select "preferences' or 'advanced' for the upper case 'PSC' printer.
My computer runs in Windows 7 (64-bit). The printer is HP psc 2355xi all-in-one. Any suggestions are much appreciated

I have not been able to select a different default printer for Adobe, but I can print if I manually select the correct link everytime.

I am having the same issue.The correct printer is selected as the default printer on the control panel and there is no driver with the lowercase convention.However, the first printer option that appears is the lowercase convention. Is there any way to select a default printer for specifically for Adobe, as opossed to the PC itself?

No printer option or printer icon in Adober Reader

I have no printing option or printer icon in Adobe Reader, using Windows 8, downloaded most recent version of Reader

Please keep the problem in one topic.

Duplex Printing Problem in Adobe Reader X (Mac)

My normal printer setting is for duplex printing. However, Adobe Reader X will only print on one side of the paper.. This is on a MacPro under Mac OSX 10.6.6 and Adobe Reader X Version 10.0.1 printing to a Canon IP4500 inkjet printer. Other applications duplex fine.
Any one else with this problem? Fixes or workarounds?

After having the problem / aggravation, I went through each area trying to
learn how to get past it. Finally, I checkmarked 3x "Don't Show Me This Again"
Then I established a default printer thereby forcing Adobe to retain print preferences
instead of defaulting to "Any Printer" and losing custom settings
STEPS I TOOK (you may know of something faster, easier?)
CTRL P or File, Print to receive standard print dialogue
Within "Printer:" use drop down to select "PRINT & FAX Preferences...."
Note: You can set print & fax preferences thru System Preferences, but for
now we're here
Select the printer you will normally use and set up a default printer (for Adobe)
If the Lock at bottom left is closed it will require the system admin ID and PWD
to unlock/lock in order to make changes :-)
Once finished close this (top left)
You will be returned to this panel
To the right of the "Printer:" drop down is the arrow that expands your options,
make sure it is aiming UP
Middle of screen is "Layout" Select the drop down and select "Two-Sided Printing"
Look at the next screen image posted below and you will see there's more steps to
follow for two sided printing
Check mark "Print Both Sides"
By Re-Opening the Drop down now showing "Two-Side Printing", you can of
course adjust other items while here
Paper Type/Quality allows you to select items such as print quality, color settings
Select "Print" (bottom right of screen) to return to Adobe Reader Print Page
Save time by opening the "Presets:" dropdown and save this as a custom print setup name
i.e. grayscale_DblSided, Color_DblSided...
Finally, Check Mark "Reverse Pages" to print Back to Front and help Adobe
not to print a single sided first page and double sided pages for the others... Nice!
It's time to press "OK" and hover over the printer to ensure Adobe didn't send
instructions to print your 100 single side pages despite all best efforts
Since going through this rigamarole I have not had to reset it every time

"Allow fast web view" Option in Adobe Reader

Hi Experts,
Is there any chance "Allow fast web view" option in Adobe Reader can be controlled through Documaker settings? Documaker version is 11.1.
(Adobe Reader, go to Edit --> Preference ---> Internet ---> check/uncheck the option "Allow fast web view". )
In our case, Documaker generated PDFs are being downloaded by users using browser (IE 7/8/9). "Allow fast web view" option is causing issues in some IE versions. As of now we are manually un-checking the Adobe Reader option in every signle machine as and when issue occurs.
Regards,
Sruthi

Thank you for the reply..
I have tried the option in 11.1, 11.3 & 12.1 versions. As specified in printer reference, SortBatches option is not included in INI. Still no luck. PDF is by default taking the property from Adobe reader (version XI in my case). Any other INI changes will be required?
Regards,
Sruthi

Problem printing patterns with Adobe Reader 9

Hello all
We have a mix environment of Windows 7/Vista with Adobe Reader 9.2 and Windows XP/2k with Adobe Reader 8.1.7. Documents including charts with patterns created with the option Save as PDF from Word 2007(SP2) look and print fine with Adobe Reader 8, but the same documents look and print the patterns a lot more compressed with Adobe Reader 9. All computers print to the same printers with the same print drivers (a windows print server). Attached is a sample PDF file. I've installed Adobe Reader 9.2 also on Win2k and WinXP computers with the same results, so the problem doesn't come from the OS.
Any idea on what's wrong with Adobe Reader 9? Is it a configuration problem or defaults changed in Adobe Reader 9?
Thanks in advance.

You need to use Adobe Acrobat; Adobe Reader does not support editing.

How to have "black and white only" be the default print option

Just installed a new printer and would like to set it up so that the default print option is black and white only. How do I do this?

Can't find this anywhere. I'm brand new to Macs so I
might need more detailed instructions.
I have an HP Photosmart C6100 by the way.
Not sure which post you are responding to since you replied to yourself
Every printer is a little different so you may have to do some searching through the settings. I don't have an HP Photosmart C6100 here so I can't say for sure where the setting is for that printer.
The closest thing I have to that model printer here is an HP OfficeJet 6310
In that model you choose Paper Type/Quality
In drop down menu under Color you select Gray Scale
Then you can still save the preset as I described in my previous post.
If the C6100 is different than that you may just have to search through option pages and explore the drop down selections.
Which I could be more specific, but they are all a little different.

Can you print comments in Adobe Reader 8?

I have a PDF document that has several comments ("sticky notes") added to it. I need to be able to print the document with the comments. However, I can't seem to find a way to do this. I've been searching online, but still can't find a solution.
I have gone into print settings and selected 'Document and Markups', but still the comments don't print. Another site said to go to Edit > Preferences > Commenting > Print Notes and Popups , but I don't have a "Commenting" option.
I don't understand why I would be able to add comments, but not be able to print them. I've checked the security on the document, and it's set as "Commenting Allowed". So I'm all out of ideas. Do I have to have Adobe Professional in order to print comments?

Hi, I found this on Adobe's site. Give it a try.
Cheers,
Jenny
Windows:
In order to print comments from Adobe Reader 6, 7, or 8 you need to change a registry key. Please note that you edit the registry at your own risk.
Open the registry editor and browse to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ADOBE\Acrobat Reader\6.0(or7.0, or 8.0)\Annots\cPrefs
Double click the 'bprintCommentPopups' key and change the value to 1
For Adobe Reader 8 you will need to add the key manually.
Add the following Reg key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\Annots\cPrefs]
"bprintCommentPopups"=dword:00000001

Disable Printing Dialogue in Adobe Reader

I'm looking for a way to totally block/hide the printing dialogue in Adobe Reader 7.0.
As far as I know the only way to do this is to drop a script in the JavaScript folder to manipulate the whole application (catching the application initialization event). Is this right?
I can't create my own dialogs and printing methods via an embedded script because I'm dealing only with the Reader.
Can anyone provide some hints how to realise that?

> I can't create my own dialogs and printing methods via an embedded script because I'm dealing only with the Reader.
You can still develop plug-ins for Reader that will override the standard print dialog and replace it with your own. There is a document called "Developing for Adobe Reader" that comes with the SDK. Find it here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/reader_overview.pdf
With JavaScript, you cannot prevent the print dialog from coming up if the user click on File > Print or the Print button.
You can, from a folder-level script, create your own silent print function, but you cannot replace the existing print functions with it from JavaScript. This can only be done from a plug-in. You could create another button or menu item that calls your silent print function, but the original interactive methods would still be there for the user to use if they wanted.

Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time.

How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

When you use the Canon driver, the 2 sided printing is set in a different location. There is an entire menu dedicated to it (at least on my mx892). The printer dialog box has a menu selector in the middle of the screen (I think it says "layout" by default). If you click on it, you will see the duplexing options at the bottom. Much more flexibility than the single checkbox available with "airprint". The interface is unusual (at least for me) but you can pre-set up many different configurations (Fast Duplex, Fine Single-sided, B&W, Photo, etc etc.)

Running Safari 6.0.3 When trying to print files using Adobe Reader 11.0.02, print preview screen is all black. If files are attached to an email, receiver can't open it. It does work OK in Firefox 19.0.2 Any ideas?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Signature option in Adobe Reader.

Why is the signature option in Adobe Reader one "greyed out" for iPad users, you can no longer access your signatures and add them to a document ?

Hi F & F,
If you are really looking to create a cryptographically secure digital signature then you need to create a custom signature appearance. If on the other hand all you want to do is add a picture of your signature you need to create a custom stamp. In order to create a digital signature you need to have access to a digital ID (a public/private key pair), and before going through all of the steps of creating a custom signature appearance is this what you intend to do? If so then check out 4 Custom Signature Appearances — Digital Signatures Guide for IT for help in creating the signature appearance. If you just want to create a stamp then look at the tips at Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Create a custom stamp.

I cann't find the"define" option in adobe reader when I read a PDF file in iPad 3.

I cann't find the "define" option in adobe reader when I read a PDF file in my iPad 3. I have already latest reader version and iOS 5.1.1 installed.

I believe that I figured it out.
holding finger over a word, will bring the copy/define menu
holding finger where there is NO text, empty space or image, will bring up the annotation menu.
but note that if you have a scanned document, where the words are actually an image, you will get the annotation menu, since there really is no text, just a bunch of pixels that look like text...
you can turn scanned text into "real" text by using OCR functionality of the desktop version of Acrobat Pro (not Reader), it would then create a layer of invisible text under the image of the text.
