Pdfs print fine with preview, not at all with adobe reader

this is a relatively new issue that popped up sometime in the last month or so. when i try to print any pdf document with adobe reader, to my HP laserjet P1505, i get the following error:
/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed
if i open up the same document with preview, it prints fine. i updated my printer software, and reinstalled adobe reader with no change. what gives?

here's what popped up in that log just now when the print failed:
thanks for looking at this!

PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader

I consider Preview to be a swiss army knife when it comes to working with PDF and graphic files. Lately (since the last OS update?) PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader. Reader either crashes or just becomes unresponsive. I've been able to open the files in older versions of Adobe Professional but Reader 8 or 9 can't open the files. Anyone else experiencing these problems?

Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
Still waiting.

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

I followed the FAQ troubleshooting and that didn't help

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

When I open a photo with Preview, it opens all the photos I have viewed previously. How can I prevent that, other than manually clearing the list after each time?

Close the pictures before you quit Preview. Cmd-opt-q will close all windows and quit. cmd-opt-w will close all windows and not quit.
Or, Disable automatically opening files that were left open in General System Preferences

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

I am try to print a sheet of avery labels all with the same info on them. Does anyone know an application that I can do it in?

I am trying to print a sheet of avery labels all with the same info on them. Does anyone know an application that I can do it in?

Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums! This is your first question, right?
This took a long time for me when I was printing my Avery labels. Pages doesn't seem capable of doing it, but you can do it on MS Word 2011. Try searching Google for more alternatives.

All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default, as I am workin

I am using Adobe 8 Professional and working on Windows XP. I have been facing an issue lately with opening files in a dual-monitor environment. All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default. There are times when I work only in one monitor and when I open a PDF file and want to have a look at it, I have to connect another monitor to view that file, since this file is open in the secondary monitor. It is very disappointing with such instances happening with Adobe (a leading organization). Can you please help so that the Adobe Reader files open in the primary monitor by default?

On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.

Since the upgrade to CC 2014 via Creative Cloud, I'm ending up with both version of all my Adobe CC products, and I lost my plugins in Photoshop CC 2014.

Hello
Since the upgrade to CC 2014 via Creative Cloud, I'm ending up with both version of all my Adobe CC products, and I lost my plugins in Photoshop CC 2014.
How can I fix this ?

I did it by going to my old Photoshop CC Plugins folder and copying it aand then pasteing it in the Phtoshop CC 2014 folder. All mine came back and worked.

I am trying to update my billing detail on my IPAD2. However it keep on saying that the country need at least 3 characters long. But the country field is a dropdown list with Malaysia's states all with 2 characters long only! I can't make any purchase now because I can't verify the billing detail because it just doesn't work! Very frustrating now.

My iPad Air when charging cuts in and out, also the charger is extremely hot. Have tried different chargers with and power outlets, all with the same outcome.

The troubling thing to me is the fact that the charger gets extremely hot - according to what you are saying. The charger can get warm and can get fairly warm when the iPad is charging, but it should never get extremely hot. Make an appointment at an Apple Store, take the iPad, the cable and the charger with you and ask them to look at everything for you.

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI

When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks. Adobe Reader XI
I filled in this form with important data. And saved it. I have since opened it and printed it again. Now when I open it the fields become blank I can see them for a split second as it clears them.
I believe I have updated to Reader XI since I filled it in.

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

My MacBook Pro will not open documents via Adobe Reader. Says I need to aspen Reader in Browzer and accept terms and contitions first. Went through this 3 times and got through to "Finish", closed browser and then retried. No luck. What's going on?? Have no problem with same documents on iPhone and iPad

After you finished installing did you launch Adobe Reader from your /Applications folder and accept EULA(End User License Agreement)?
What is your Adobe Reader version?
What browser are you using and browser version?
Thank You.

Viewing print thumbnail only works after a TAB in adobe reader X

Hello,
Viewing print thumbnail only works after a TAB in adobe reader x.
In adobe reader 9 when you go to a specified page (the red circle in the screenshot), the example on the right site directly go´s to that page,
In adobe reader x when you go to a specified page nothing happend in the example, when you then use the TAB then de example wil go to the specified page.
Is this a incident in Adobe Reader X ?
On my

PDF files have to be specially enabled for you to save the contents. It appears the old version of these files had this capability, but the new version does not. Without Acrobat you will be unable to save the files. If these are truly government files, you can try going to the government's website and see if you can download a copy that will allow you to save the form field data.
