Print as Image changes between Adobe Reader ver7 and ver8+

Hi,
We have customers that upgraded to Adobe Reader ver8+ and are now experiencing printing issues with our printer driver (operating system is Windows XP/Vista). When they use Adobe Reader ver8 and above to print their PDF files, with "Print as Image" option selected, the print output is smaller. It looks like the latest version of Adobe Reader output the images using a square DPI. Our printer (line matrix) does not handle square DPI (for example: printer resolution are 120x48, 120x72, 120x144, and 180x96).
Our printer driver just takes the output from the Microsoft print spooler and just encapsulate it with our printer language. We don't do any image manipulation. So, I would like to know was there a change in the way Adobe Reader version 8 and above create the output image? If so, is there a backward compatibility switch our driver can issue during the printing function?
I tried talking to Adobe Tech support (bronze support), but they only handle end user issues. Is there a tech support option that I can purchase that will allow me to get to the root of this driver compatibility issue? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Adobe doesn't apparently care. I get this problem all the time on our work network. There's a lot of questions in this forum and elsewhere on the internet.
The best answer I've seen is that there's something wrong with the PDF or you don't have the right font, or you did something wrong, or here try this ridiculously complicated workaround. I wish they would just fix their program!
Suggestions: go through all the "standard" things like updating printer drivers, printing the document as an image, updating Adobe (yeah, like "it works now" is a new feature in the latest version), etc. It's possible that could fix the problem. Otherwise, wait until Adobe releases a version of Reader that doesn't have this issue.

    I first tried the version without the deflated stream (so everything uncompressed) against the online repair tool to check/analyse it @ https://www.pdf-tools.com/osa/repair.aspx
    And it says no error found, but the reader still want to save it when closing so i still had no clue at this point.
    Fortunately, i finally found what was wrong with my generated PDF.
    In my xref table, each object reference was not end by a full EOL, i only did put a newline char.
    Now i have "carriage return" "newline" which is the full EOL and the reader is happy and close the file silently.
    As suspected i did not follow correctly the specs on xref table
    Now i'll go and figure what i did wrong with the deflate filter
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Ajlan,
    To fix my problem, i uninstalled adobe reader X with "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool", rebooted the server, installed Adobe Reader XI and rebooted again.
    For some users, this fix the problem but with some others i had to define Adobe Reader by default again.
    I tried without use "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool" before and adobe reader X wasn't really uninstall.
    Thanks,

  • Print Comments Option Missing in Adobe Reader 9.4.0

    Using a PDF I downloaded online, I inserted comments using both Adobe Acrobat Pro and Nuance PDF Converter Pro.
    In both the Acrobat and Nuance applications I can print the PDF with the comments just fine.
    When I opened the document in Adobe Reader 9.4.0 it would not print the comments by default.
    I hunted around the File > Print & Edit > Preferences dialog boxes but found no such option in Reader 9.4.  It either does not exist, or I'm not looking in the proper place(s).
    I opened the same document in Adobe Reader X and I did have the option to print the comments as outlined in the instructions here (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/897/cpsid_89733.html).
    On that same page however it says a comment printing options should be on both the Edit > Preferences and File > Print dialog boxed in Reader 9 but it is not.  The instructions above appear to be inaccurate.
    I've tested this on multiple systems (same base OS & configuration) but the problem persists:  How does one print comments in Adobe Reader 9.4.0?  (Upgrading is not an option at this time.)

    Thanks for the speedy response!
    The repair didn't appear to do the trick.  The Comments option under Edit > Preferences is still missing and even with the Document and Markup option still selected, it doesn't actually print comments.I took it a step further & removed it completely then re-installed it but that didn't help.
    I am part of the IT organization .  So you're suggesting (or saying) there's a certain Adobe Reader 9.4 update that introduces this feature?  If so, do we know which specific update?  Is there a KB article, release note or change log that that covers/discusses this?

    Good day,
    Adobe Reader is a free application we offer for viewing and printing PDF files.  Many years ago, it was known as Acrobat Reader.  You may still see some users refer to Adobe Reader as 'Acrobat Reader'.  Old habits are sometimes hard to break!
    You can download Adobe Reader by visiting: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

      In the top right corner of the page, click the Chrome menu Chrome menu > Settings.
      In the "Search" section, select Google from the drop-down menu.
    Let me know if you still experience any issue.

  • I can't print certain .pdf documents in Adobe Reader?

    When I try to print certain documents from in Adobe Reader XI, instead of going to my printer screen, it goes to a SAVE screen?  What is happening, and how can I fix it?  I am using a Brother MFC-J460W All-in-One that I just purchased a few months ago, and just download the latest available driver for it.  I am using Windows 8.

    In the Print dialog click the Advanced button and make sure that "Print to file" is not selected.

    The add annotations field shows as not allowed in the security options. So how do I send this form back with the changes??

    I think you you need to click 'save' first, then it is saved to acrobat, where it will prompt to send.

  • Signature verification changes in Adobe Reader 9

    [ I posted this message in the "Adobe Reader" forum, but I have realized that the post that I reference in my message belongs to this "Acrobat SDK" forum. So I've decided to send my post here, although this is not an Acrobat SDK question. Excuse me if you thing that my question should not be in this forum. ]
    Hi all,
    I have found this post in this forum talking about changes in Adobe Reader 9 related to signature verification:
        http://forums.adobe.com/message/2439480#2439480
    I have another scenario:
    A PDF with two signatures.
    After the first signature, a new page was added and then the PDF was signed again (using signature appearance).
    Using Adobe Reader 8.1.5, the result of signature verification is successful for both signatures.
    In fact, the byte range of the first signature is intact after adding the second signature.
    But if I open it with Adobe Reader 9.2.0, the verification result is invalid signature (for the first signature): the document has been modified and there is a new page.
    Since it seems that Adobe Reader 9 has added some new checks when verifying signatures, does anybody know (or know where can it be found) the list of new signature verification requirements of Adobe Reader 9 ?
    Or the list of changes allowed in Adobe Reader 9 that do not invalidate signatures ?
    Maybe a list similar to the changes allowed in the three types of certified signatures (TransformParams)?
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Thanks, lrosenth.
    The document I was searching for is in Adobe site and is called "Adobe Acrobat 9 Digital Signatures, Changes and Improvements".

  • Printing Comments (Sticky Notes) in Adobe Reader 9

    Hi,
    I know this question has been asked several times before, but I haven't seen any resolution to this problem. Does anyone know if Adobe is working on a patch/ fix for this problem?
    In any case, my question is this: how do I print comments (sticky notes) using Adobe Reader 9. The following are the responses I have already tried and that have not worked:
    1. Select "Document and Markups" in the print menu. I have already tried this. It makes no difference. The document still prints without the comments.
    2. Go to Edit > Preferences and choose the "Commenting" tab. There is no "Commenting" tab in Reader 9. You are probably thinking of Acrobat 9.
    3. Edit the registry key. Too risky, and since we are working on the client's machine, this is not really an option.
    Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Alas,
    "Commenting" is not an available category in Adobe Reader's Preferences.
