PDF's won't print using Reader 9.4.6

Have windows Windows XP OS, Adobe Reader 9.4.6. PDF's won't print, but all other types of docs print fine. Get error message "Pages not selected", although I've selected pages. Tried different printer, same problem. Tried to upgrade to 9.5, but got error message after 96% downloaded.

XP will run Adobe Reader 11.0.5: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
I'd suggest upgrading to the newest version.

PDF's won't print in Internet Explorer after upgrading to Adobe Reader 11.0.03

PDF's won't print in Internet Explorer 9 after upgrading to Adobe Reader 11.0.03.
The print dialogue box won't open....nothing happens.
Desktop OS is Windows 7 SP1.

Two obvious troubleshooting techniques are to delete and re-install the printer driver (or updating printer driver) and fixing the installation of Acrobat. Have you given those a try?

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 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.

PDF's won't print

I have a user who cannot print PDF's to a HP 4520 color laserjet printer. The user can print anything else (docs, spreatsheets, text files, pictures, etc) to the printer, but not PDF's. The user has XP with all the latest upgrades and Acrobat Pro V8. Anyone else can print PDF's to the printer. The user can also print to another printer, just not this one. Acrobat has been uninstalled, the registry cleaned and reinstalled with the latest updates as has the printer. Logging onto the PC as administrator instead of the user has the same results. The print spooler is running. It appears as if Acrobat is not sending the PDF to the print spooler. It makes no difference if the PDF is self created or one generated by someone else, they just won't print. I have been through the trouble shooting sheet presented by Adobe, but no help. The "chat" also has been no help, and was thoroughly discusted with one of the agents when asking for assitance and was just dropped when he asked if there was anything else he could help with and I told him he had not given me any information that would help. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Maybe the file name assigned to a pdf is not compatible with your printer's memory. Example, if the file name includes brackets [ ] { } or other punctuation, or is very long, the printer won't recognize it. One print job that stalls will hold up the entire print queue, so delete your job from the queue.
First, look at the file name displayed in the print server's list of print jobs. The same file name also appears in the top blue bar of your Acrobat pdf display. Are there brackets, per cent signs, or other punctuation marks in the file name?
This file name works:
ti50000
These would not work:
ti50000[1] because of the brackets
sarif00099659%47%000%%000%0000 because of the length and the percent signs
You can rename the file by saving the pdf to your desktop. Click on the Acrobat toolbar icon for Save (a picture of a floppy ) and rename the file. You can use any name - the author's last name, for example - as long as you don't include punctuation or too many characters. Now send this file to the printer.

The last page of every pdf document won't print.

If I ask to print just one page - nothing. If I ask for two pages, I get the first page. Help. Using Mac OSX 10.9.5 and Adobe 11.0.09
I tried printing using an older version of Adobe, had the 'won't print last page problem' so I upgraded to the latest version. Still the same exact problem. Does anyone have suggestions?

I have the same problem, but not just in Acrobat. Indesign also. So... I can't print a single page. Have to print two, and toss the one I don't want. Seems to be a problem with Adobe print interface. I can sometimes "trick" it by going to system print dialog box and back out again.

.pdf's won't print to hp with ps printer driver

I'm on win7 64 using acrobat pro 11, trying to print to a networked hp laserjet 3015 with hp's universal postscript printer driver.
I didn't have this issue with the pcl5 driver, but it wouldn't allow me to print more that one copy at a time, so I switched to the ps driver.
No other programs are having trouble with the ps driver, and acrobat prints fine to my other networked printer, a canon mx882.
I've found two workarounds and discovered that acrobat XI is very buggy.
I can get it to print the .pdf by selecting print as image, but that takes forever
it appears that .pdfs with only text print fine--it's just an issue if they have some graphic content.
If I go to print, click advanced, and under postscript options select print method "language level 2", and immediately click okay and click print. It will print fine, but the setting does not stay, the next time I open the Advanced dialogue, it's back on language level 3.
1. This makes no sense.
2. a setting ought to stay when you set it.
3. This took hours of trial and error to find--how would anyone know to do this?
Therefore I say this is a serious flaw/bug problem. Where do I report it. You can't reach a human at adobe unless you're a paying subscriber. I just happen to prefer purchasing software outright, so I'm out of luck.
Why can't acrobat just work the way it should?

Hi Bruce ,
Please help us with the information below for further assistance on this.
1) Exact version of Acrobat (Help>About Acrobat)
2) How was the PDF created, (PDF Producer) File Properties
3) Size of the PDF not being printed
4) Try printing directly to the printer, rather than spooling the document first
go to device and Printers
Right click on the printer and go to the printer properties.
Advanced>Print directly to the printer.
Also, try printing the documents first to the Adobe PDF Printer and then try printing them to the physical printer.
Thanks,
Vikrantt Singh

Printing using Reader X

Hi,
     according to http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/IAC_DevApp_Architecture.99.2.h tml#1516071
     I should be able to use COM intrefaces to communicate with adobe reader X.
    But it looks like it's not working : is this suppose to work with Reader X or it needs Acrobat X ?
Thanks in advance.
NF

Hi Test Screen Name and others,
     I was using a ShellExecute with "print" as the verb but, I read that the verb is not available anymore with Reader X (for security reason).
   I'd than tried DDE with the server name "acroviewA10" and topic "control" but, it seems not working (I cannot connect to the Reader X application anymore).
     Is there a solution to do a silent print with Reader X ?
Thanks in advance.

Adobe Reader 9.3.2 - PDF attachment won't print from right click

Hi all,
Hopefully someone can assist some kind of suggestion, we have just rolled out Adobe Reader 9.3.2 upgrade from v8. When we now try to print a PDF Outlook 2003 attachment from the right click menu, we are prompted with the 'Open With' window. Selecting Adobe Reader 9.3 and press okay opens the document, but it doesn't spool. We can print the document fine from Adobe Reader itself, any ideas?
TIA
Frosty

I have seen the same problem in this forum a couple of times (on Windows Vista and 7 only), but I have never seen a solution for it.
Can you try if Adobe Reader 8.2 does the same? Download it from here http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.2/enu/AdbeRdr820_en_US.msi
If the same happens with Reader 8.2, then I have no other suggestion than to try an alternate PDF viewer.

FireFoz 4 won't print using adobe reader 10, Mac 10, help

Using the UPS ship and click, I cannot print a label. (it works fine from Safari) USPS say that the latest firefox and latest Adobe are incompatible, and I should go back to an older version.
Mac 10.6.7, Firefox 4.0.1, Adobe reader 10.0.3
Help

Thanks for getting back. Yes, as I mentioned, I did uninstall all other Flash Players and restarted because I had read about that tip. I also tried downloading it from the .pkg and no luck there. Also from Safari instead of from Firefox. Is this Flash Player 10.3.183.7 a stand-alone plug in or is it an update to one I should already have? Also, what is the Flash Player Debugger for. I am a mac OS 10.6.8, intel based. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Safari 6.0.5 pdf still won't print with cache emptied and relaunched on my MAC 10.8.5

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.

PDF video won't play in Reader X

Hi and thanks for any help.
I'm trying to view embedded videos w/in a PDF file. The little hand appears, I click, then I receive the red "X" box that states:
"Warning: JavaScript Window -
Acrobat has encountered and error while playing this media clip:"
That's it. Only option is to hit "OK" - which, of course, is NOT OK. The colon after the word 'clip' implies there's a reason for the error but is terribly ineffective at letting me know which one...
I uninstalled all the adobe stuff I could, then reinstalled it all: Reader X, Air, Flash Player 10 Active X, Flash Player 10 Plugin.
I'm using a machine w/ Windows XP SP3, 2GB RAM, normal stuff although a bit out of date, I know.
I know the embedded videos work because they work on my laptop, another XP machine, and not as good as the desktop(relatively speaking, of course.)
Please help
Steve

Forgot to mention:
- I did accept the option to "allowed/trusted this conent always" in Reader
- I did check the "Allowed multimedia operations" w/in the Multimedia Trust (legacy) tab
- I have tried all four media players available under Multimedia (legacy) tab
thanks again

Import XML to PDF Form Created in Designer using Reader

Does anyone know of a way to Auto-populate a Form PDF created with adobe designer and opened in Adobe Reader.
I have already been able to create the XML file for import/auto populating the PDFs. It imports/auto-populates perfect in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Now I need a way to have Adobe Reader accept the XML import.
I do not need to save, I just need to Auto populate the Form fields and then print.
ThanX
Anna <3

You will have to Reader extend the form to allow Import/Export capabilities.
