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.

PDF Document will not print on wireless network

Recently purchased Fujitsu laptop with Vista Home Premium O/S, 2.4 Gig chip, 2 Gig Ram. Printer is Canon Image Class 880 multi-function printer. I am able to print Microsoft Word documents via the wireless network and can also print documents off of the web on the wireless network, except for downloaded PDF files.
When I try to print a PDF file, the print box will come up and show the correct printer. When I click OK in the print box, a "Progress" dialog box comes up and indicates "preparing" as a percentage of the total document the computer is trying to send to the printer. Then, the box turns grey, and a message comes up saying Adobe Reader had a problem and has shut down. Also, Windows Document Execution Prevention then comes up saying a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
I'm not sure which version of Adobe reader came with the computer, but it was upgraded to 8.1.2 on 2/12/08.
Any helpful ideas will be appreciated.
Regards,
Dan Roberts

Adobr Reader XI: document will not print: premium presentation paper

I've had no problems with this before today. Adobe Reader XI gives me an error message that "document will not print". I tried it in draft, plain paper, and it printed, without a problem. I switched browsers, from Google Chrome, redownloaded the document (online labels) into IE8, then tried to reprint as premuim presentation paper, matte, color. Same error message. Yet, as a draft, no problem. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, updated drivers on Epson printer (WF2530), same error message. AShould I do a system restore to two days ago, since this is the last time there was no problem? I print product labels.

Thanks Atul,
Th problem has recently been resolved when my new technician made some adjustmnents. The problem was not the fault of Acrobat. It goes back to my new high definition IPS monitor several weeks earlier. When using Windows Office 2007 I was seeeing green haloes mainly between letters such as" ll, ii, db" etc. where the vertical lines filled with green. In Adobe Bridge, the variable text in control boxes took on a red colour. My technician (at the time) sought help via the Microsoft Help site and found this was a common problem with professional high definition IPS monitors like my new one. The instructions (4 pages from the Microsoft site) said to turn off the Clear Text Type and replace the font 'SEGOE' with Tahoma. As the technician workede his way through the steps, I watched as he marked them off as he went so as to ensure the changes were correctly made. This solved the problem but it wasn't until a week later when I tried to print a PDF file that my problems with Acrobat began. The PC was taken to another technican fora "second opinion" and this man fixed the problem within a short time by changing the font back to the Windows default, SEGOE. He may have done something else but when I saw the printer dialog panel on his workbench with no other problems either, I was anxious to try it with my new monitor. No more colour fringing/haloes etc and no further problems with Acrobat However, I was waiting a little longer before informing you of the outcome-just in case it didn't work.
It seems that Microsoft may be incorrect in their 'Fix' advice as the font SEGO may well be required for Acrobat to print a PDF file?
This case may now be closed with thanks for trying to help with a problem that in the end turned out to not your fault

One document will not print in color - all other docs are printing fine

I just purchased an All Ine One Officejet Pro 8630. It will not print my proposal forms in color - although invoices and every other document that requires color seems to print just fine. The proposal form is formatted in in old Microsoft Access file. Not sure that this would make a difference because I have had no problems with printing it in the past with color. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.

So when you do print, does it come out in a grey scale with various shades of grey instead of the color or in just solid Black and White format? Also, on the PDF front, you can install either software I mentioned and that will allow you to "Print to a PDF File" and then you can at least view the PDF to see if your printing system from Access is outputing in color or not. Just a troubleshotting idea.

Double Clicking on a PDF document, will not open

When double clicking on a PDF document with the default document properties set to Acrobat Professional 8, the document will not launch Acrobat.
If Acrobat is already opened however it will launch.
I've tried:
re-setting file associations
deleting preferences
Uninstalling and reloading Acrobat: (solves the issue for a time but after a period of use it reverts to this broken state).
OS X 10.5.5 is fully updated, as is Acrobat 8.

Another Utility that will do the same without aid of DVD.
is a Utility called
AppleJack version 1.5 works with OSX.5.x and version 1.4.3 work with all previous systems.
download install the go into Single User mode (restart Command-S) wait for screen to come up will be in B&W as soon as it starts up release until you see a Blinking Block Cursor. type applejack as instructed on screen. follow the commands as shown in Order.
I amazing what problems it can clear up. Font Caches are removed and others. If you follow all the way to the end. Its amazing how much your machine will speed up up not having to wade through obsolete Cruft. Note if you do everything to the end. will take you computer a few minutes to rebuild caches, and other items.

PDF documents will not open in Adobe Acrobat 5

I have one computer with XP running Acrobat 5. I now have a second computer running Windows 7 with Acrobat 9 Pro. When I take PDF documents from the computer with Acrobat 9 Pro to the one with Acrobat 5, the PDF docs will not open - an error message states the file is corrupted. Why is this hapening and how can it be fixed?
Thanks for any assistance - confused.

#1 - The files were moved using a thumb/USB drive and "Safely Remove" was used.
#2 - You may be on to something here for some: Some were created by AA9 but some others were scanned in and some were from AA8 that I had no trouble before.
#3 - The only "special feature" is that the PDF files are searchable and some are a PDF of an image.
These are basic PDF files.
Thanks for your assistance

I can't change the name in devices and printers. I can highlight it but that's all. Is there a trick I don't know of that allows you to change or alter the name?
Open Devices and Printers.
Right-click on the icon for the printer and select "Printer properties".
Click the "Change Properties" button on the lower left of the dialog.
Enter the Administrator's password when prompted.
On the "General" tab in the next dialog, you can change the name.
From that last dialog, you might want to click the "Preferences" button and see if you can change the default behaviour to print instead of fax.

Document will not print correctly

I have a Photosmart 3210xi All-in-One. Have had it connected to a desktop and everything prints fine. Recently was provided a laptop (Dell Latitude D505). Connected this up to the printer. Tried printing a document. The print preview looks good, but the document when printed does not. It appears (what little I know) to print out the "computereze"--i.e., all the commands, etc. Yesterday, it printed 8 pages of this before I stopped it.
How do I get it to print the document correctly?

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull
the power cord from the printer then from the
wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to
wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power
up’ and restore the printer to a known good
condition (if it is possible). No user settings
are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful
tools to use when the printer hardware is not
functioning properly!
if not resolved, uninstall hp software &
reinstall using latest hp software from hp
website.
Although I am working on behalf of HP, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

Adobe/Acrobat PDF documents will not open, tried community suggestions, version 9.4.4.235

Assorted websites may refer to links for documents to open, but I receive an error message stating that the Adobe/Acrobat loaded will not open them, I have tried all of the community suggestions to no avail

Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the following. 
#Fun Web Products 
#My Web Search Plugin 
#Smiley Central 
For the above three, see: http://www.pchell.com/support/mywebsearch.shtml
In addition, disable the Yahoo ActiveX plugin.
ActiveX is a Microsoft technology which is frequently targeted by criminals. Although the technology is reasonably safe when running inside Internet Explorer, it potentially exposes your system to attack when installed in Firefox.
You do not need it to access Yahoo in any event.
If the problem persists in spite of the above steps, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
'''N.B.''' You do not need to run "Hijack This" as described in the link since Firefox provides the option to disable plugins as mentioned above.

PDF file will not print out Special Characters

I am currently a technician for a college and, and the customer that I am attending currently has the following Problem:
I am using Adobe PRO 9 to convert my Word files to pdfs for [a New York Printing Company].... The Greek letters used in Word are seen in Word, are seen in PDF, but do not come out in ...[the New York Printing Companies'] printing.
What could be the stubling block for the NY printing company to not be able to print out the Special Characters in the PDF files? I clearly cannot go to the company myself and tell them to change their printer settings or something like that.

Thank you, I have checked the font and I see all the fonts I need already installed. I am not sure if this will solve the problem, and there is a chance that the Adobe Acrobat settings on my customers PC need to be adjusted like you said.
At least I can start looking somewhere .

PDF's will not print to a Canon printer

I recently purchased a Canon IP100 compact printer and when I send PDF's to print on it I get the following error message:
Unable to open raster stream -: No such file or directory. Does anyone have a reason or solution for this.
This does not happen with any other printer. This problem occurs no matter where the PDF document comes from.

I think that the IP100 is one of those printers that you always have to use print as image on (in the print dialog), unless an updated driver ever appears.

4.0 Beta 12 Will not print properly. Is there a fix? How do I uninstall Beta 12?

After installing the latest patch NOTHING will print as it should. Every site, every file, everything is not spacing properly when sent to the printer. Previous version worked fine and all other browsers print properly.

I downloaded the suggested file and it fixed the problem. Thanks.

Secure PDF Document will not open

I am trying to open a billing statement from my university. It opens in Adobe Reader as a PDF; however, instead of showing my bill, there is a message that reads: "If this message is not eventually replaced by your statement, then your PDF reader may not be able to display this document." This is followed by links to this website to update the reader. However, I already have the latest Adobe Reader XI (11.0.03), but the correct document never loads. What is going on here??

You are trying to open it in FireFox or Chrome, is my guess. They don't use Adobe Reader.
Save the file to your desktop, open it from there.

PDF's will not display properly in email iOS 5

Hello all,
On my ipad2 with iOS4.3.3 my email would auto-open pdf's and display them properly. When I upgraded to iOS 5, they still auto-open but the pdf image is distorted and displays as if it is having a hard time figuring out what the pdf should look like. For example, letters are overlapping, text has abnormal spacing and logos are very pixilated, etc. It's almost as if I am trying to open the pdf's with an incompatible program.
I have another ipad2 with iOS4 on it still. I opened up my email account on it to test and it works just fine, the same as before.
Thanks in advance for suggestions.
