PDF File Won't print text, just watermark and image
Hello,
I have created a fillable/saveable PDF. I have one client who states that when he attempts to print it, it only prints the watermark and our logo in the upper right corner. He says that it won't save either. He has made an attempt at two different computers. There is a similar PDF we created that he can print and save properly. So far it's just the one we are having trouble with.
When we check it on our end, it works fine. We can save and print it fine. I have asked what browser he is using and await a reply.
Any ideas on a setting on his computer, browser or Adobe Reader I can have him check?
Many thanks!,
Dave
As far as the printing, he likely does not have document and markup selected. The document is the original PDF and the markup would be form fields and such.
As for saving, if he is using Reader he will not be able to save unless you have activated Reader Rights. There are license restrictions on using the activation you should read before you go on your merry way, generally restricting the number of uses (500) of the form for data collection in that case.

Using Adobe 8.1.2 some PDF files won't print
Since we've upgraded to the latest version of Reader, 8.1.2, some of the files won't print. For example, this morning I got two PDF files in the same email, they both opened in Reader, but only one of them prints--sending to a Canon ImageRunner 5570 printer/copier/fax machine. I'm not getting any error messages on my computer, it just doesn't print?
If I save a copy of the unprintable PDF to my desktop, then open in Acrobat 6.0 Standard (older version I know), it prints fine to the same printer.
Does anyone know what's going on here? Best, David.We've been having the same problems printing to a Canon ImageRunner 4570, 8.1.2 won't print but 6 will. We can print to our other HP printer fine from 8.1.2, so it seems to be specific to the Canon. Tried printing from a shallow folder structure, but that hasn't seemed to have helped. Anyone heard if this is unique to the Canon printers? Thanks - Mike

Indesign-generated .pdf files won't print
I realize this question is vague to the point of being unanswerable, but here I go anyway.
Our department's publication person sent me a number of chapters of our book in progress so that I could print an uncorrected proof to show to our funding source. She emailed me .pdf files generated by InDesign CS2, probably, although it might have been CS3.
She also emailed me the indesign file for the frontmatter because I had some things to add, so the .pdf for that I generated myself.
I took everything to a local printer we regularly use. To print this job he was using a large commercial Canon setup I think. None of the .pdfs would print on it. He ended up having to print them all as images for the purposes of creating a proof for me.
Now, I printed all of them myself on our networked postscript printer, both from a Mac and a Windows machine, no problem.
Since the files had been emailed to me, and then to him, we thought maybe they got corrupted, so I brought them over on a disk, but that didn't help, not even the one file whose .pdf I generated myself would print.
So is this an issue that has come up--indesign-generated .pdf files being unprintable on a commercial printer but printable on a postscript machine.Dov and Al,
Yes, I'm sorry, I do realize that this isn't enough to diagnose a problem. I was hoping that this might be something that has come up before and someone would recognize.
As far as I could tell, he was opening up the print jobs in Acrobat and sending them to his printer, which had its own job monitor. When he consulted that monitor he just said, no, it won't print.
He's a smart guy and I've done a number of jobs with him that were generated in indesign, so I'm really at a loss to explain what has gone wrong with this one. -
PDF file will not print text properly in Acrobat 9.5.0 and OS X 10.6.8
I have been having trouble printing PDF files from Acrobat ever since I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8. I have read many posts about the issue having arisen for other people in 10.6.7 and 10.6.8 although it did not seem to be a problem in 10.6.6. However, I have yet to find a permanent solution to this issue. Specifically, I am printing to an Epson Stylus Pro 4000 via LPD. I think my issue revolves around the Open Type issue that people have been discussing in OS 10.6.8, since I have two identical files other than the font encoding. The one with Type 1 PS fonts prints fine, the other with fonts converted to CID does not. Both files make it to the printer, but only the Type 1 file prints the fonts properly. The CID version has all the font characters on a line stack up on top of each other to the left side of the page. Any help would be appreciated. I hoped the upgrade to 9.5.0 would help, but it does not. And yes, the file prints fine in Preview, as well as if I check the option to print page as image. But I don't want to rasterize my page, I'd like it to print as it should. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Whenever I try to print a pdf file the printer stops working. It only happens with the pdf. I trashed the existing acrobat and it worked for a day, then started doing it again. I hooked up my ibook to the printer and it prints pdf's fine, Any suggestions?
There are numerous posts on the net of slow printing of pdf files with certain HP printers. I myself suffer from this (on an HP1200 Laserjet) and despite installing additional RAM on my otherwise wonderful printer, have seen no improvement. Google ["slow printing" pdf os x] and you will find many many reports of this. If your problem stems from this issue, I don't think a solution has been made available yet, unfortunately.
Here is a sample of other users' experiences from hp's boards:

Emptied cache and relaunched Safari. The pdf I click on that shows a document goes blank when I click on print. I did learn that other documents in Safari will print after all, but not this one. Enabled cookies to no avail. Firefox works. Must be something to do with the site I am on perhaps.
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 anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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. -
HP deskjet 990cxi - won't print in just black and white
Hi
I've currently run out of coloured ink and don't have any budget to buy more at this time however I do have plenty of black. Unfortunately despite changing the print settings in the control panel and in word to black and white only, the printer is still not printing in greyscale but still trying to use the last bit of colour ink and so therefore simply not printing the bits that are in colour at all. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix this?
Many thanks

Saving a Text data to a PDF file without using print option
Hi,
I want to save a Text to a PDF file. I want to assign the path of the PDF file as a default one.
If I use Print options, then it ask for the file path at the run time.
Is there any method to save to a PDF file without using print option in Labview 8.2.
Regards,
RajaThis question comes up a lot. Did you try searching? It depends on the PDF printer driver that you're using. See here, here, here, ...

why can't I print a pdf file, it's asking for a password and I have no idea what it is it never asked for one before?
Good afternoon SaraThanks for responding. Yes, I have been able to open these files before without a password. Funny thing is it is happening on both my husband's laptop as well as mine. I'd appreciate any help you could give me but the file is very personal. So, if you can assist in a way that won't compromise the security I would be grateful for your help.Thanks and have a great day!Kim Morse

HP LaserJet Pro 400 MFP M425dn won't print text at 72 point size or larger
My workplace recently purchased an HP LaserJet Pro 400 MFP M425dn all-in-one printer. It works excellently with the exception of the fact that it won't print text that's 72 points or larger in size. I've tried numerous fonts that're pre-installed with Windows, and all of them print properly at point size 71.5 or smaller; anything else simply doesn't show up in prints. The content that's sized at 72 points or higher *does* affect the flow of other printed content on the page, however. It's like the 72-point or larger text is occupying space, but it's completely invisible on the printed page. I've tested this using Microsoft Word 2002 on three separate computers, two of which have Windows 7 installed and one of which has Windows Vista installed. The problem is identical on all three computers. The printer is connected via ethernet cable to our wired network. I've installed the included printer software, and I don't believe that there are any updates to it that weren't installed up to this point. Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue?
hello, i only made an account to solve this for you guys because it has been a headache for me also.... let me apologize before hand for terrible grammar and punctuation i am in a huge hurry Now this may not work for everybody but i fixed it on my machine with the following now before you print ...use (ctrl+p) in your word processor to open the print window click on (properties) then navigate to the (advanced) tab now, I have a section called printer features under this category there is an option to "send truetype as bitmap" enable this and see if it can help any of you, for me, with this ENABLED I can print any size font my word processor will allow me to type specs of my machinedell d6420win7msoft word 2007 printer itself is hp laserjet 200 color m276 printer driver is HP LaserJet 200 color MFP M276 PCL 6 i understand that this printer and driver is not identical to yours per se but the nature of these drivers makes it highly likely that this solution will work for most of you if this helps, have somebody else post it more noticeably because i will probly not be signing back in to this website i created this account just to post this and hopefully solve this annoying issue for many of you ...no kudos needed

Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac
I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari. I have Reader 9.4.5. It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.
MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.

IWeb Problem- PDF files won't hyperlink
Suddenly my .pdf files won't open as LINKS
www.alicesimpson.comI just visited your site and under the LINKS page I was able to download a pdf file without problems. When you say it no longer opens as a link, do you mean that you want a pdf file to open in a new tab or window of your browser? If so, that is most likely a browser setting, not an iWeb setting.

PDF file won't open after saving it from the web. get error message file is damaged.
My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web. I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion?
I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ).
