PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet.  The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is  trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17.  I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI.  I did double check for updates on both products and installed them.  Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?  If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
1) Click ADVANCED
2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
3) Set DPI to 300
4) Click OK
5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

  • Slug and bleed print fine from Acrobat 9.5.3 but not Acrobat 9.5.4

    Our creative department is having issues printing slugs from Acrobat.
    (slugs were created in InDesign CS5 and exported to pdf)
    There are NO issues printing form Acrobat Pro 9.5.3.
    Ther ARE issues printing from Arobat Pro 9.5.4.
    The slug and bleed shows up in the print preview screen but does NOT print.
    Does anyone have any advice or solutions?
    Thanks!

    Did you ever figure this out? One day I was printing slugs a few days later acrobat was not printing them, even though they show in the preview. Help?

  • How to reassociate PDF files in IE from Acrobat to Reader

    Hi all,
    How can I change program associated to open PDF in Internet Explorer. I have installed both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat and at the moment Acrobat is the one which opens PDFs in IE. I wish to change it to Reader. I have associated PDF files within Reader in windows but IE still seems to remember old setting and open PDFs in Browser window using Acrobat.
    I have Uninstalled Acrobat and then IE opens PDFs in Reader but when I intall Acrobat back IE automatically reverts back to Acrobat. Changed association of PDFs in control panel folder options but still same issue.
    HELP

    For several years I have used this tweak from Reinhard Francke.
    And I have submitted it in this forum several times.
    This registry key decides, which program opens pdf in IE:
    The value shall be the full path to the exe. E.g:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
    (Default) = "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
    Remarks:
    The example is regarding using the reader (AcroRd32.exe)
    Its not an "official" recommandation to install both Acrobat and Adobe Reader
    By me, I have only used it up to versions 7.
    Good luck.

  • Open PDF files in IE by Acrobat Standard 8 instead of Reader

    Hi,
    I have an issue when I open PDF files in Internet Explorer.
    On my computer, Acrobat Reader 7 and Acrobat Standard 8 are installed.
    I want that Acrobat Standard 8 opens my PDF files instead of Acrobat Reader 7.
    There is 2 conditions : I can't (I mustn't) uninstall Acrobat Reader 7 !
    How can I fix it?
    Thank you for your help ;o)

    Sure, I know that :o)
    What I want to do is with Acrobat, not Reader.
    In fact, I want to open PDF files with Acrobat in Internet Explorer 6 (now, I can do it) then modify directly any (unprotected) PDF files within IE.

    Be sure no aspects of AR7 are running in the background (part of the typical problem). Be sure that AA8 is the default in the selection of PDF files. Last, open AA8 before you start IE. I am not sure these will resolve the issue, but they might be worth a try.

  • Illustrator extention export PDF file as PSD worked on Windows XP but not on Windows 7

    We have a extension that convert files to CMYK PSD with color profile attached. It worked fine (for most of files) on Windows XP but not on Windows 7.
      var expOpt: ExportOptionsPhotoshop = new ExportOptionsPhotoshop();
      expOpt.resolution = 300;
      expOpt.imageColorSpace = ImageColorSpace.CMYK;
      expOpt.embedICCProfile = true;
      doc.exportFile( psdFile, ExportType.PHOTOSHOP, expOpt );
    above code never throw any exception on Windows7, but just no file been saved. It only happened to convert PDF to PSD.
    If I manually open file in Illustrator (win7) and export it as PSD, I got ‘not enough memory’ error.  I googled a solution make the manual exporting worked but still the extension didn’t work.
    The solution for manual operation is set ‘additional plug-in folder’ for preferences-> plug-ins& Scratch disks’.
    Any advice?
    Thanks!
    Ling

    I apologize for not having an answer. I just wanted to chime in and say that I am having the exact same issue. I have never had this before. It's happened ever since I had my hard drive replaced and Illustrator has been reinstalled, so I am assuming that it's a preference somewhere that I have missed?

  • Hp d110a prints blurry from any iOS device, but not from any other kind of device.

    My D110a prints blurry...almost like a shadow...when printing via AirPrint on any iOS device, but if I print from other devices, or just print a report, it prints correctly. I have attempted to search on the device's control panel (both on the device and web-based) to see if there is a print setting, and I will also check my router.
    Does anyone know why this would be happening? I have access to another HP ePrint All-In-One at my job, and my iPad prints fine to that printer.
    Thanks much,
    Chris

    Hello Choirguy,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand when printing from Apple Devices with the AirPrint driver it prints blurry. We know it is not the HP Photosmart D110a, as you can print reports from the front panel with no problem and all other Operating systems are fine and print correctly. Please let me know the following:
    1. Is the D110a connected directly to a wall outlet, without power strips or surge protectors connected?
    2. What other devices are you able to successfully print from, and how are they connected USB or Wireless>
    3. Do you have any software installed on the devices that are able to print from?
    I will watch for your reply, so we can continue.
    Thanks,
    HevnLgh

  • .mov file plays fine on friend's PC, but not mine

    Hey, I have a .mov file that is a little over 1gb. It plays the first 4 seconds just fine, and then the picture pauses and the audio stops. The marker on the progress bar and the timer keep going like everything is normal. When I scrub through the timeline, it flashes between a blank green screen and the last frame where it froze.
    I have Quicktime Pro and tried exporting is as a smaller file, but it still pauses and does the same thing 4 seconds in. Exported it as .avi, same exact thing.
    So, I took it to a friend's PC which is running Windows 7 and it worked just as it should. I'm running XP Pro 64 on mine. I have plenty of hard drive space available and 2 gigs of RAM, so I don't see what's the problem.
    I've read that Quicktime tends to have a problem with XP64, and that version 7.4.5 works the best, but after going back to that, it still does the exact same thing.
    Does anyone have any thought on this? Thanks in advance!

    raytw, I just tried opening it in Streamclip and clicked Fix Timecode Breaks, but it didn't seem to affect it at all. And at first I thought it may be a corrupted file, but then again, it DOES work fine on my friend's PC.
    Kirk, I'm starting to think it may be my 64 bit OS as well. I tried changing the compatibility mode, but when I do so, Quicktime gives me an error saying, "QuickTime Player requires Windows 2000 or later. Please make sure compatibility mode is disabled in the Compatibility tab of the properties for QuickTimePlayer.exe." and it won't open.

  • How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • Why won't pdf files print from Safari?

    why won't pdf files print from Safari? I get blank pages. They print fine from Firefox. OS X 10.8.4

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page 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 "Adobe" or “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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
    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.

  • How to reduce a PDF file size under Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The size is now 23MB; I need it to be less than 4MB. thanks

    how to reduce a PDF file size under Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The size is now 23MB; I need it to be less than 4MB. thanks

    I've found in Pdf's many time when you go to Optimize a PDF and look at the font list there are often up to a 1/2dozen copies of a given font, say Helvetica, then that many Helvetica Bold, or Arial or Ariel Italic
    What I do ie remove from list all but one copy of each different font. often dramatically reduces the size. also something lese is Flattening images will in some cases reduce a file size. I have run into a case where it actually made a PDF Larger.

  • Are there settings in Acrobat to enable a PDF file to open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader by Default rather than open in a Browser

    Are there settings in Acrobat to enable a PDF file to open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader by Default rather than open in a Browser

    There is a check box in the preference (under edit). I have not had great success with this setting, but that is what it is supposed to do. Don't expect it to happen in Chrome that has it's own PDF viewer (or the preview function on a MAC). You might also check the settings for your particular browser.
