PDF prints from Acrobat 8 Pro, but not from Acrobat 9 Pro

I have a PDF that prints fine when I print from Acrobat 8 Pro, but when I open the same PDF in Acrobat 9 Pro, only portions of each page actually print out.
All systems running Windows XP Pro, SP3
A8P 8.1.2
A9P 9.1.1
Any ideas?

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

    Hi,
    Apple's AirPrint only support specific models while using wired or wireless network connection.
    Plugging a printer into a USB port of Apple base is not supported for AirPrint:
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
    As well you must use AirPrint enabled printers for a such, none of your printers are AirPrint enabled:

    There are 3rd party solutions which allow sharing a printer connected to your Mac as AirPrint, Printopia as example provide a such:

  • Print to Adobe PDF printer from IE 7 crashes computer

    I apologize if this has already been answered somewhere in this forum, but I could not find mention of it....I have several users inside my company and out that are having issue with printing to the Adobe PDF printer from a webpage viewed in IE 7...the computer inevitably locks up and requires a restart. It seems to vary based on the version of Acrobat or Reader they have installed, but am wondering if anyone knows of the cause and resolution? It would seem to be a battle of Microsoft Operating System versus Adobe. Most users are on Windows XP Professional, using Adobe Acrobat and Reader 8 or better. Those with 6 do not appear to have issue.
    Have been circling around this problem for a month now....any help much appreciated!

    I think it's time to upgrade. 64-bit systems weren't much in use at the time of Acrobat 8.0.

  • Accidently deleted the Adobe PDF printer from the Printer List

    Hi Guys,
    I have accidently deleted the 'Adobe PDF printer' from the Printer List and am now unable to print any files to PDF from any application.
    Any ideas of how to get it back?
    Cheers, Nosaj68.

    Hi Nosaj68
    Welcome to Discussions.
    1. In Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility, select Add printer and reinstall it.
    2. If you can't find this file, reinstall Adobe Acrobat and that should put it back again for you.
    If this solves your question, please consider awarding stars, by checking the helpful or solved button on the post. This is not a requirement, merely an expression of thanks.

  • I want to have a unique reference appear on the footer of each printed version of a pdf printed from my website - is this possible?

    I want to have a unique reference appear on the footer of each printed version of a pdf printed from my website - is this possible? If so which version of Adobe do i need?

    If you want it to maybe happen some of the time, if people use the right browser and software and system, you can use JavaScript.
    If you want it to happen reliably, you need server software to add the stamp before the file is served, integrated into your web site's CGI/ASP/PHP or whatever. Probably not an option with shared hosting.

  • Win7 does not show "Adobe PDF" printer using Acrobat 8 Pro

    using Acrobat Pro 8.1.0 I cannot see or add Adobe PDF printer. I do see "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" as a printer.

    Concentrate on getting the scanner working without any Adobe software. Once you can scan to a file, any OSX program (except Adobe) that can read the file can generate PDF files via the Print command.

  • Adobe PDF Printer missing (acrobat 9 pro, XP pro)

    Hi,
    I searched the forums and found some similar problems, but not with my config, and, no solution.
    I have installed Adobe Creative Suite CS4 to a new, clean system. It runs on WIN XP Pro. This installation includes Acrobat 9 pro.
    Sadly, the printer is NOT in my printers list. I cannot print to PDF via file>print.
    I tried help>repair in acrobat, but no difference. I also upgraded the newest versions of my adobe software via adobe updater.
    Can anybody help me please? I don't want to install third party PDF writer, I paid for Adobe and I want to use it properly. Thank you

    I run the Support advisor toot, it said:
    "The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file.

    When I wanted to close the Support tool, it said:

    Nothing else...
    J.R. Sanford:
    I checked it, and only RPC is listed. BTW I noticed, that now I am receiving worse PDF outputs from some settings like "High quality print" (from InDesign). Vectors are ugly and has edges. However, exporting to 2001x/1a is good. I am very disappointed :(

  • I can not print an PDF using the Adobe PDF-Printer with Acrobat DC

    Hi all,
    i installed the Trial of Acrobat DC but it dont let me use the Adobe PDF-Printer well, because i cannot print from any third-party-application using Adobe PDF.
    I tryed to print from within Word, Editor and Browser and selected the Adobe PDF-Printer as target, but at 75% both, the Application from which i print and the PDF-Creating-Wizzard are freezing (for hours) and i need to kill the procesed. No PDF-File is created. Same Problem with trying to print a Testfile from within the Windows-Printer-Dialogs.
    Only Adobe DC cause this issue, if i use freeware like Bullzip PDF the files get created successfully, so i assume its not a generally problem with PDF on my system.
    What could be the problem? (pls dont say its because of the trial, a trail should allow to test all features and Why should i buy a programm if it cannot do what a freeware can do?)

    Hey Daniel,
    Have you tried repair Adobe Acrobat DC?
    If no, then please repair the installation under Help menu.
    This could also happen due to an Adobe Acrobat DC installation file corruption. To resolve this issue :-
    Uninstall Adobe Acrobat DC using the Acrobat cleaner utility.
    Restart your computer.
    Re-install Acrobat Acrobat DC  Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC.
    Let me know if the issue persist.
    Regards,

  • How to enable Adobe PDF Printer in Acrobat Pro 9.4??

    I cannot print pdf documents in Acrobat 9.4!! Major Problem!!

    New version of Acrobat 9.4. was installed.
    ** The Problem is I am unable to print/save any PDF files because PDF printer does not work.

    Many attempts were made to fix, repair, or reinstall acrobat 9 have all failed to correct this.
    Please provide help.
    =================
    Additional comment to Adobe:  Accessing help from the new Adobe web site is extremely difficult and complex.
    The various instructions to find help support are very difficult, unclear, incomplete and poorly presented.

    Adobe has not released a copy of Acorbat that fully works with Windows 7 64bit and Office 2010.
    Have you looked at "Save at PDF/XPS" in MS Office?
    You may need to run the applications in the 32bit mode.

  • PDF shows boxes (squares) in Reader but not in Acrobat

    When opening certain PDF files in Adobe Reader it shows boxes/squares at the end of some lines (see attached jpg file).
    When i open this same PDF file in Adobe Acrobat everything is normal (no boxes/squares).
    I checked the fonts, but these seem to be normal.
    Does anyone has any idea how to solve this or where this problem comes from?

    I do not know how you created the PDF. You might try going back and printing to the Adobe PDF printer. Open AA6 and then select the file that way. Does this work?

  • Having issues with PDF printing in Acrobat 7 Pro

    The issue I am having is when I print from adobe Acrobat 7 it prints the page really tiny in the middle of the page, I look at all the printing options and change them and get the same result. Just wondering if anyone else seen this and what I can do to fix this.
    Thanks

    when you get to the print screen it looks fine on the page, I've tried all the other options for scaling and when it prints it prints really tiny in the middle of the page. I have the paper set to letter. I did't see any options about shrinking the print.

  • PDF prints from Acrobat 9 formatting off and security limitation after mac 10.9.2 OS security update

    When I print to Acrobat from Word, the output formatting gets messed up (single lines turn to doubles, column to right shifts to the left) ; I can't combine two documents; AND I get a security erro message when I try to reduce file size.

    This type of problem is best solved by submitting a formal support case with our developer support staff...

  • Avoiding the 'Save PDF File As' dialog when printing to the adobe PDF printer from a service

    Hello, can someone please help.
    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro installed.
    I have an in house application which (among many other things) effectively monitors a directory and prints the file to the default printer. It works fine when run as an application.
    I have set the defaults on the Adobe PDF printer to put the output PDF file into a directory and not to open it so it works silently without prompts.
    When I run my application as a service, it brings up the 'Save PDF File As' dialog and I would like to avoid this. My impression is that if I put the right registry key in then it will work.
    I do not want to do any scripting if I can avoid it.
    Thanks for all constructive help given.

    Thank for your help Bill, but changing settings in the distiller did not seem to work. As my application prints directly to the default application without using anything specific to Acrobat, I was hoping there was a simple way forward. A colleague suggested copying registry entries from the account I logged on as to the S-1-5-18 entry, then rebooting. This had no effect as the prompt still comes up.
    Aandi, I don't have the Acrobat SDK or any experience of it.
    Also I'm not sure where any code/script would sit since the application is stable and so I would rather not change it.
    If it amounts to a few lines of javascript sitting outside the application then that would be of interest.

  • Issue with PDF Printer in Acrobat 6.0 on windons 8

    I use the PDF writer on acrobat.  I had an Windows XP PC which died and the new PC is windows 8 (no xp available).
    The s/w I have is Acrobat 6.0 standard it had issues w/ compatibility which I selected to load anyway.
    It gave 3 errors all the same Warning 20225  A Acrobat 6.0 setup unable to create Adobr PDF Port Monitor, the PDF Printer may be unavailablr.
    And it is.
    I down loaded and installed the to updates
    Ac60BaP1  and   Acro-Reader_6.0.2_Update
    Still has the issue.
    Can you help me?
    Is there a copy of 6.0 which would work I could download and use my license key on the disk I have.
    Customer service could not help only upgrades from 9.0 and did not know the issue
    I just need the PDF writer actually for my Resume print, currently looking for a job laid-off so money is tight.

    You might be able to use Acrobat and Distiller, but the print driver and AcroTray will probably not work. For AA6 (assuming Acrobat and Distiller work), install a PS printer and set the port to FILE and change the name to Adobe PDF. Then when you print to the Adobe PDF printer (or use PDF Maker -- of course PDF Maker for AA6 will not work with OFFICE 2007 or later) you will create a PS file (probably have a PRN extension). Just open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. The 3rd party options are always there, but have pros and cons.

  • XP-64 - NO PDF printer installed with AA9 PRO

    Installed, uninstalled, reinstalled -- still no PDF printer. Do I need to go back to AA8 Pro to be able to create PDF's with XP-64?
    Seems AA9 Pro is an expensive PDF READER only.

    Update to AA9 PRO SAGA:
    Having spent the best part of a week sorting out this mess I have finally got this working.
    Having re-installed CS3 design premium, my event log was totally filled with Version Cue 3 errors, see:
    http://www.pbase.com/jacquidervan/image/100016762.gif
    and
    http://www.pbase.com/jacquidervan/image/100016790.gif
    This prompted me to do a repair to Version Cue CS3 which basically seemed to re-install everything.
    Following that repair I was unable to update Illustrator from 13 to 13.0.1 or 13.0.2. The automatic updater failed and the manual updates also failed, although at one stage when trying to update to 13.0.1, the installer reported that it had already been installed, although the Illustrator splash still reported version 13.0.0.
    See: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc43ec4/48
    I completely uninstalled CS3 [again] and re-installed everything except AA8 PRO. Again, the automatic updater failed to update Illustrator. I ran the manual updater, and much to my amazement, it updated, both 13.01 and 13.02. The version cue errors are also gone.
    Feeling that it was my lucky day, I proceeded to take a chance and install AA9 PRO. It installed without error ...but did not install the printer.
    I followed the advice in these forums here to install the printer as described in post #25:
    TEW, "Adobe PDF Printer Missing Fix - Adobe Acrobat 8.1 - Vista" #1, 31 Jul 2007 5:00 am
    I then ran a repair on AA9 PRO and I now have 2 (two) printers: "Adobe PDF Converter" and "Adobe PDF".
    To say that this has been an inconvenience would be an understatement.
