Pdf files not printing whole page

pdf files printing just part of page.
have everything updated on my mac and hp printer.
anyone have a solution?

This is occuring because you might have set page scaling option as "Actual Size". Kindly change this to "Fit" or "Shrink" based on your requirement.
To read more about scaling options, you may read http://helpx.adobe.com/reader/using/print-pdfs.html under Print at a different size.

Kai,
Do you have pdf2ps presented in the PATH of applmgr user?
Did you run the concurrent program with (number of copies = 1)?

Certain PDF files only print blank pages

I recently upgraded to Adobe Pro 9 Windows. Everything was great until I received a couple pdf files by email this morning that I needed to print and sign. All other pdf files on my computer print fine. These two pdf files go to the printer but only print out blank pages. Any thoughts?

My printer light blinks like it's receiving something, but then never prints. The light stops blinking and the printer icon in the corner goes away like it thinks it printed.
I'm puzzled too. I've never not been able to print a PDF file. I've also never worked so hard to do so! Frustrating to say the least.
Each page printed as an image (the only way it will print at all) takes about 2-3 minutes to print ... EACH PAGE. Ugh. A real time waster for sure.

PDF files not printing correctly, only prints graphics (Vista)

Can anyone help me out? When I print a PDF file it only prints certain things,,,,,seems to print the more graphic items and not just plain text. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader. I can print fine to my printer from other applications. HP support was no help.
Thanks!
Robin

i might be having similar issue, my hp prints strange/alien looking font with vista/reader/pdf, looks fine on preview though. 'print as image' is the only solution i can find but it doesn't work for me..

PDf files not appearing after page loads

On several different sites, I've recently experienced a dark (black) screen after trying to view pdf files.
I cannot view any pdf files at present. The relevant page(s) seem to load and then the screen goes black. Any suggestions welcome.

What happens if you right click then Save as...
Or right click on the link to Download them & view with preview?
How about a link to see if it's common?
Have you tried more than one Browser?

Problem with not printing whole page

I have an issue when printing a photo, the paper jammed once, I took care of that now when I try to print an image on a full page it leaves the last inch or more blank, the whole image is shifted that same inch. So help? Thanks... jack

PSE 10 and Adobe pdf files not printing

I feel sure some of my settings must be incorrect. I have never had trouble until now. PSE 10 keeps pausing, screen dims and error message " not responding " appears. Also, trouble printing anything that is an Adobe document. All of this started happening at once, so I assume they are connected. Any ideas or could someone help me make sure my drivers, settings, etc... are correct?

Please try printing the same outside of PSE. Which OS are you on?
Does the issue happen for PSDs as well?
Thanks

Print to PDF - using Snow Leopard (Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose

i have a PDF form that i created that is used as a custom proposal that my company sends out to potential clients. the form in its editable state is only used internally. we recently upgraded to snow leopard, but prior to the upgrade, we were able to fill the custom proposal form out using adobe reader, and, as you well know, we weren't able to save that edited document as a PDF with the custom form fields filled out. our work around using adobe reader was to print to a pdf using the adobe pdf printer in the printer dialog. with the addition of snow leopard, however, instead of choosing the adobe pdf printer, we were to choose PDF from the bottom left corner, then Save As PDF, and it would spit out an uneditable pdf that then allowed us to email it to the potential client without them being able to edit it as well as have an internal, digital copy for our records instead of having lots of paper floating around (i know this is also doable using security that disallows the client certain editing privileges, but printing to a pdf is much quicker and more efficient, and the pdf security isn't really that secure at its best).
in any case, i came across this gem of a post here on the support forums that installs another option from the PDF drop down on the bottom left of the print dialog menu that reads Save As Adobe PDF and is supposed to do exactly what i am trying to get it to do...print to a pdf file from adobe reader.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
once i updated to acrobat 9.2 (as the link above suggests 9.1), however, the Save As Adobe PDF does appear in the print dialog menu, but it still gives me the same error that acrobat 8 - 9 gave me while using Snow Leopard — Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save — and as i've already explained, you can't save an edited pdf form in reader (as i am the only one in the office with acrobat) and still keep the fields as you've entered them in. the only work around is to print to a pdf but is apparently having some recent problems.
using acrobat, however, i know that i can save the editable pdf as a new file with the fields customized as i have left them, but it still saves it as an editable pdf and the print to a pdf option still remains the best option...that way we have digital copies internally that are uneditable that can be printed at any time or emailed to the client.
how can i do print to a pdf, based on what i've written above, using snow leopard and acrobat and reader?

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save.

I am using Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and I was using Adobe Reader version 9. In the past, I've always been able to print to file using the File -> Print dialogue but all of a sudden it stopped working. I read somewhere that installing the latest version of Adobe Reader (version 11) would remove the old printer, so I did so. It took me about an hour on version 11 to even find the pdf print to file option, but I am getting the same message. For what it's worth, when I try print to file from Microsoft Word, I have no problem. I have no idea why things changed all of a sudden, but does anyone have any idea how I can get this working again?

I checked with Adobe. No luck.
Allow me to clarify my problem:
I have Adobe Reader XI. I also use a Mac--imac and a MacBook Pro. My adobe was updated on 12/24. Prior to that point, I could open my print dialogue box and there was a PDF tab on the bottom left. In the drop down menu there were many choices, including but not limited to Open in PDF Preview, Print PDF, Save PDF, email PDF. If I selected one page of 30 pages from a document saved in Adobe, I could extract just that one page and save it or email it, without having to send the entire document. After the update, when I open a PDF file using ADOBE READER XI, and then open the print dialogue box, and follow those same steps, I get the message "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save." My question is why is this feature now unavailable and is there a way to fix it?
The answer I got from Adobe was that Adobe never had this function, so it must have been via my print or preview programs..which are apple. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thank you.

Message error: "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save."

I have 2 problems creating a .ps file.
As i know, there are 2 ways of creating a Postcript file from a PDF.
The first is from the Print monitor. I go through menu File/Page Setup i give the exact dimensions from my spreaded pages and after that i go to Print and when this window opens,
i go down and left and i open the pop-up menu on"PDF" and i choose "Save PDF as Postscript"
There is where i get the above error message :
"Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
And the second scenario, i get an equal problem.
If i go to Page setup and give the right dimensions of my spreaded document, after that i go to the File/Save as command, there is choose from the bottom pop-up menu, the option at Format: Postscript
If i do that i get the following message:
"The document could not be saved. An internal error occured."
What is wrong with all this?
Can anyone help me out?
System preferences.
Mac OS X 10.4.11
Acrobat professional 8.1.2
Thank you

Yes, it happens on every PDF

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
However, even if presented with multiple prints with
the same name, the spooler should print each one!
The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

Hello:
I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
Many thanks.

Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported.

Hi Guys,
I upgrade from leopard to snow and now I don't have the possibility anymore to to print PDF as a PDF.
Before I was going to print and then choose save as a pdf and everything ok.
Now after the upgrade to snow every time that I am going to print a pdf from a pdf (acrobat 9 and X) I received this msg "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save "
Why that happened ? how can I fix it?
The thing is that I have a pdf form (contract) that I have to fill up and print it as a pdf.
Now I can't do that I can save only the form with the fields unlock.
thanks you in advance for your help.
Xoxo

Ah.. this is so annoying filled in a long form.. which doesn't allow saving.. I assumed as normal with this type of form I could print to PDF and at least get a electronic copy.. but no, I made the mistake of installing Adobe Reader.. and it has screwed up the print options.. when I try to save as PDF from the print menu I get the helpful suggestion
"Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
When I do as suggested.. it helpfully tells me that it will only save a "blank form"..
Adobe has badly messed up their reader.. I now need to print out and then scan this document to get the electronic copy I need.. I will be uninstalling promptly after this fiasco..

AcroPro9, snow leopard, "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported"

Hi,
I have AcroPro9.1.3 (and 8 and 7 and Dreamweaver CS3, and probably other stuff too) on Snow Leopard (10.6.1).
I've read about de-installing the Acrobat printer and using "save as Adobe PDF" from the PDF button on the print menu. However, when I try this, I'm told "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported". Note that this is AcroPro9, not AcroReader. I get the same message when I try any of the other options under the PDF menu on the printer menu in Acrobat. In other applications, tho, (eg powerpoint), the PDF button works fine.
Before the upgrade, the PDF button on the print menu didn't work either (same message), so I used the Adobe printer, but now I can't. I had always assumed that AcroPro was stopping me from using Apple's PDF generator in favour of the Adobe one. But maybe some of my settings are wrong.
I now cannot print to PDF from Acrobat. Help. There are 120 fourth year software engineering students who will appreciate any help I get, as I can then post my recent lecture notes for them.
(What I really want to do is to take my powerpoint slides and print 4-up versions directly. But the PPT idea of 4up wastes a lot of space, so I generate 1up PDF, and the 4up PDF from that using Acrobat. At least, I used to. It was so much easier in the old days with Latex and psnup ...)
-- Mike G.

My current solution is to print from Preview instead (which will let me use the Adobe print facility, unlike Acrobat itself).
In fact, I pretty much have no need for Acrobat at the moment.
Adobe and Apple between them seem to have some real problems with Snow Leopard. I can't get Dreamweaver to run anymore without immediately crashing (yes I looked through the help forums, deleted settings, etc etc). So I'm now looking for a replacement tool for Dreamweaver and will likely use that from now on.
Adobe is not looking very good to me at the moment. YMMV.
