Printer Dialog Hangs using Acrobat 9.1

Just like the title says, the printer dialog box hangs for like 10 mins. before i am able to select the printer and print.  any solutions on this?  I am printing to a default network printer, but it does this everytime i print regardless of the printer.  Is there a patch or something that i can apply?
Thanks.

  • When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    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/

  • Print PDF file using Acrobat SDK - Warning message

    Hello,
    We are trying to create automatic program in c# that will print all pdf files located in a specific folder, using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 SDK.
    Whenever the application tries to print file, we receive a warning message ("WARNING! A script has requested to print an Acrobat file. This could print an entire document. Do you want to proceed printing?").
    If we press yes, the file is printed, but next time we'll run the application, this message will appear again.
    Since this application supposed to run automatically (with no interaction with the end users), we want to prevent this warning message from appearing.
    How can we eliminate this warning message?
    Is there any other way to print PDF files using Adobe Acrobat from another application?
    Thanks,
    Lilach.

    joeln3:  I believe the original post refers to a client application, not a web page.  Why use JavaScript from within a client application?  I understood their use case to involve a client app referencing the PDF Library, loading various PDF files, and using one (or more) of the PDF Library's Print methods to invoke Acrobat's internal print routines.

  • Unable to print PDF files using Acrobat 8.

    I had to uninstall and then reinstall Office for Mac 2011.  I don't know if it's related or not,  but since doing so I have been unable to print PDF files using Adobe Acrobat 8. After opening a PDF file and hitting print, Adobe Acrobat 8 crashes. Any suggestions?  I already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 8, but it still won't print PDF files. O

    While you are having difficulty in printing a PDF file, you may try the  subsequent steps. If you are in a rush and would like to print a simple  document such as a letter, a form, or a calendar, you may print it as an  image. Next option is that you may need to update your printer driver   if the PDF does not print, the PDF prints as a blank page or with  unreadable text or if you get an error message when you print.  Sometimes, when you print a file that is on a thumb drive or a network,  the file gets damaged. Then you have to open the copy on your hard drive  and print again. At last, you can try printing the PDF using another  printer and check your printer connection too if the PDF does not get  printed. get more help to fix unable to printer PDF file hope this helps you.
    Good Luck!

  • Print Dialog Box using jdk1.4

    Is there a way to bring up print dialog box in jdk1.4. I am using the new api( javax.print.* ) for printing. But dont know how to get an interface to the Dialog Box.
    thx
    K

    Our printing functions (PrintCtrl, PrintPanel, etc.) will bring up the print dialog if you select to show it in the function call. If you weren't using our print function, you can bring up the Windows print dialog box with the Windows SDK function PrintDlg. Consult SDK documentation for help with this function.

  • Mavericks Mail Print dialog hangs?

    Several times when I try to print an email messsage, the Mail Print dialog appears, complete with preview which looks fine.
    The cancel, print, pdf, printer and presets buttons are responsive, but neither Print nor Cancel do anything other than flash to ack the click, and the print form remains pinned as the topmost window whenever Mail is active.
    I'm printing three page message to a Xerox Phaser6360DN, and have been able to print a lot of mail and other docs since upgrading to Mavericks a few days ago.
    Any ideas of what's wrong / how to fix?
    Any suggestions for killing the pinned Print dialog without doing a Mail Force Quit?

    John - Thanks for the suggestions. Next time I'll try changing printers / using PDF menu actions rather than just testing their pull down reasponse.
    I didn't see anything terriblely helpful in /Utlities/Console, but will look again and try your suggestions if/when it happens again.
    I needed to get Mail working and recovered with a force quit...

  • Printing to PDF using Acrobat X Pro - Cannot figure it out!

    I do not have the option to print to pdf and cannot figure out how to perform this function.  Following the user guides there should be an option under file > Print > advanced > print to pdf
    However under the advanced options i do not have the option "print to pdf"
    Furthermore, if i scroll through my printer options this is also not available.
    Please help!

    I tied to print to pdf within Acrobat 10 Pro yesterday trying to solve a printing problem.  It seemed that the application would not print to pdf but required me instead to "save as" pdf to create another pdf copy.

  • Can't Print to PDF using Acrobat 8 Prof after deleting demo of v 10

    Hi, I made the mistake of trying version 10 to see if it had any improvements over what I was using v 8.1.5 for, found that there were none, so I deleted it and now I can't print to PDF because it's looking for v 10. Unfortunately had to move recently and can no longer find the original disk to do a new installation. Does anyone know how to redirect the driver to the original v 8? I can open v 8 and everything else seems to work ok, just when I try to print to create a PDF it can't do it.

    Thanks for the quick reply Bill! I had tried that before and tried it again. Finally got things to work by copying all the contents of my Acrobat sub-directory from the v 8 folder to the hollow v 10 folder. Now it works again! Thanks for you help and inspiration to figure this thing out. Am now a very happy camper and didn't need to tear my house appart to find the original disk!

  • Intermittent ioerror printing to PDF using Acrobat -- "readstring"

    I posted this query before, but the term "Distiller" seems to have obscured my issue.
    Far, far too often I get an error log like this, when trying to print to PDF from Photoshop Elements:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[ Error: ioerror; OffendingCommand: readstring ]%%
    Stack:
    ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿýûðÖ²U/
    @kÉè÷ýþÿÿÿþþþþþþþÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿþþþþþÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿþÿþþÿþÿþÿÿþÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿþþþþþþþþÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿþþþþþþþÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ...)
    -file-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    TextText
    I have simply tried Ctrl-P again to print to Adobe PDF, and maybe half the time it works, without any change in Photoshop image that I want converted to PDF. Sometimes, superstitiously, I reduce the res/file size and it goes through, but not always. The diagnostic tells me next to nothing, although I was a programmer for 20 years. There seems to be an Acrobat component named "Distiller," and "readstring" is failing for some reason that only one of the product programmers, or someone with similar knowledge, can understand, and the programmer does not tell me the user what to do about it.
    What is the cause of the "ioerror"
    The Acrobat product I am using is Acrobat 6.
    I would know nothing about "opening a file in Distiller." The success and failures appear haphazard, but as a former professional programmer I know that there are deterministic reasons, even if nobody ever discovers them. Debugging programs is very hard work.
    Perhaps someone can suggest a means of forwarding the error message to someone in Adobe programming, who already knows what the error message should mean to me, the user.

    The details of the error are not familiar to me. However to explain where it comes from and a possible check on things I will try to explain the process.
    There are basically 3 levels related to the Adobe PDF printer. The most fundamental is to print to file with the Adobe PDF printer. That process creates a PS file (may have a PRN extension). Then open the file in Distiller (part of the Acrobat sweet that converts PS and EPS files to PDF) and see if you get the same error, or it may possibly work.
    The process you used to simply print to the printer depends on AcroTray running in the background. AcroTray automates the call to Distiller (that is the product showing the message you got). I am wondering in a way if the PS file somehow is getting corrupted - that is what corrupted files sort of look like in Distiller.
    The last process available in several products is PDF Maker, basically a preprocessor for the Adobe PDF printer that adds PDF Marks to the file that are recognized by Distiller for adding links and such.
    Don't know that this will help, but the first process may be worth trying just to see if it works, or if something else is in error. If you have a separate PS printer installed, you can also try printing to file with that and processing with Distiller. The problem at this point is to find what process is messing up.

  • I cannot print to pdf using acrobat 8 on windows 7 64bit

    I recently upgraded to windows 7 and have installed CS3 (Acrobat 8).  Whenever I try to print a document to PDF it gets stuck in the print que and has an error printing.

    Drivers (especially printer drivers) are the first casualties of a system upgrade.

  • Print dialog font is too small: Acrobat Reader on Linux

    I'm running Acrobat Reader version 7.0.5 on CentOS 4.5 (RedHat Enterprise
    4.5) and find that the fonts used on the Print dialog are too small.
    They are much smaller than the fonts used on labels and other controls
    in the rest of the application, and are very difficult to read. By
    comparison, they seem to be about 1/2 the size of the font used by the
    Reader menu bar (File, Edit, View, ...).
    I've gone through the Edit -> Preferences, but don't see anything which
    will change the size of the fonts used on this dialog.
    Is there a configuration file or some other way that I can increase the
    size of these fonts?
    Thanks,

    the issue occurs on systems running debian-etch, debian-etch'n-half,
    debian-lenny, and gentoo with xdm as display manager and fvwm as
    window manager. the x-server runs with the '-dpi 75' option regardless of
    the screen's physical dimensions. the screen's resolution is 1600x1200.
    for me it looks like acroread is creating it's dialog boxes independently
    from gtk-settings in $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 (apart from the OK/Cancel buttons of
    the printing dialog) and while doing so, it makes wrong assumptions about
    the font-size by using the dpi setting of the screen to calulate the physical
    dimention of the screen. if the x-server is running with '-dpi 100' the
    dialog fonts are considerably bigger, but still differs from the settings
    in $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0. for example when you make setting of
            style "default"
                    font_name = "Verdana 24"
            class "*" style "default"
    then you don't get neither Verdana nor 24pt fonts in the whole acroread
    gui except for  the menubar and the OK/Cancel buttons of the printing
    dialog, while any other gtk-program like firefox, thunderbird, and others
    apprear completely in Verdana 24pt -- which is of course far too big, but
    illustrated the issue very clearly.
    screenshots (with gtk-fonts set to Verdana 24pt and Tahoma 11pt) are
    inserted below. (as you can see, the printing dialog and advanced printing
    dialog even use different fonts.)
    thank you very much for the very quick reply.

  • Adobe Reader X (10.1.1) print dialog freezes

    We recently pushed out Reader 10.1.1 to our agency staff. Some people have reported that the Print dialog box or the Print Properties dialog box freezes for 30-60 seconds before they can click any buttons on it. After that it seems fine.
    We're on Win7 SP1 and WinXP SP3, and just upgraded from Reader 9.4.2 to 10.1.1. Most of our printers are Xerox Document Centre 5600 series and 7345, with a few older HP and Lexmark models. We currently use device specific PS drivers.
    Does anyone have any ideas about this? Why would the dialog box freeze? I read something from a Google search about Reader searching all printers, not just the default printer, and hanging on any non-existent printers. http://gtech-kiwi.blogspot.com/2009/06/adobe-reader-print-dialog-display-slow.html As far as I know, the people who had the issue did not have any printers listed that no longer exist.
    Thanks,

    I'm tracking an issue which resembles Mr. Powell's report.  Below are the symptoms I have recorded and the workaround I have discovered.
    Symptom: when attempting to change print properties using Acrobat Reader print dialog the printer properties dialog becomes unresponsive to mouse clicks for a long time, an extended period of time, an indefinite length of time, my patience expired after 3 minutes.  Unresponsive means that the user cannot print: in particular clicking the cancel and OK buttons on the dialog have no effect.  Windows does not report the application as "not responding".  The print properties dialog appears to be hung.  The symptom is not observed every time the print dialog is invoked.  The symptom has been observed when attempting to print a PDF from the Reader application or attempting to print a PDF that is open in IE.
    Affected versions:
    The symptom was first observed when deploying implementing Reader 10.1.2.  Reader 10.1.3 does not resolve the issue.  We migrated our environment from 9.X to Reader 10.1.2.  The issue was not observed with the 9.X or earlier series.  I have not tested with 10.1.1.  The symptoms are not observed with other applications.
    Environment:
    My environment includes a Xerox WorkCentre 7675 and a Xerox WorkCentre 5675, one HP and a few Brother printers.  So far the issue has only been reported in relation to the Xerox printers.
    The printers in our environment have not changed.  What changed was the Adobe Reader version.
    Symptom observed on Win XP SP3 and Win 7 SP1 64bit.
    Workarounds.
    To wake up the print properties dialog invoked from the Adobe Reader print dialog the following seem to do the trick:
    Change focus to a different application and switch back to Adobe Reader.  For example, click the Start Menu and then click on the print dialog or use Alt-Tab.
    Use the keyboard.  1a) Use the tab key to navigate the dialog.  1b) Press Alt-P to open the properties dialog.
    Mr. Powell,
    Have you resolved the issue you reported above?  Are the workarounds I mentioned above effective for you?

  • "Save to Adobe PDF" missing in Mac print dialog

    I've just upgraded to a new machine, and the "Save to Adobe PDF" option is missing from the PDF drop-down menu in the print dialogue.  I'm running Mac OS 10.8.3 and CS 6.  I believe that Acrobat X is supposed to automatically install this option into the main print dialog; what can I do to get it installed if it got left out of the initial CS6 installaion?

    OK thank you.  I feel like I'm still not quite getting my question across.  I don't think that PDF Maker is what I was using last week before I got a new machine; wasn't that the thing that showed up in the upper portion of the Print dialog, in amongst your physical printers?  That is not what I was using.  I was using the Save to Adobe PDF.app (an Automator app) that stays in the PDF Services folder in the Library.  You access it via the PDF button in the bottom left of the Print dialog.  This was using Acrobat 9 and OS 10.6.
    Your description above makes it sound like when I go to that button I would get a contextual menu that lets me choose the quality of the PDF.  I don't have that choice.  This is the contextual menu I get under PDF in the Print dialog:
    I used to have an additional entry there in the middle section called Save to Adobe PDF.  That brought up a dialog with a drop down menu that showed all of the preset settings I have made for PDF creation, and I could choose my quality there, choose a location, and save.  I had full control over all the settings.  I just need a choice that brings up that dialog, and Save as PDF doesn't do it (it just uses the native OS PDF generator).
    The second method does not work on my machine either.  If I try to drag a Word doc into Acrobat it tells me it is not a supported file type, and says "To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF."  this indicates to me that somewhere I should still have the ability to choose Adobe PDF rather than Mac OS PDF. 
    I can save to PostScript and drop the file onto Distiller -- as long as the Distiller settings are set correctly already, because it starts creating the PDF immediately with no dialog in between to make choices.  I can live with that, but I would rather have my Automator workflow back to do it in one step.  (sadly I don't know enough about Automator right now to easily do this myself, but maybe this is a good chance to learn.) 
    I know that I have seen this workflow mentioned as something that is installed along with Acrobat X but maybe people are mistaken about that and it was just left over from a previous install.  I know for sure that the workflow that was working on the old machines was outdated; it was 32-bit and can't even be opened in the current version of Automator.  So the old one clearly won't work any more.  For now I'm going to set up a Distill folder on my desktop with the settings I use most often, and direct my PS files there.
    Thanks for the detailed reply even though I can't quite make it all work!

  • Print Dialog broken in iWeb 09

    All I want to do is print a single page from my iWeb site under construction. When the "Print" dialog is used, the preview comes up just fine but when you actually hit the "print" button nothing happens. It's the same for using "Save as PDF" or any other function, it just does nothing.
    The printer itself works just fine in every other application, PS, Preview, Mail etc., this is specific to iWeb apparently.
    I've attempted all the usual methods of troubleshooting the software from DiskWarrior, Onyx etc to no avail. Anyone had this problem and know the fix?

    With further troubleshooting it turns out it's not an iWeb problem at all, for some reason Snow Leopard lost it's printer communication settings.
    A quick "reset printing system" command and a reinstallation of drivers did the trick now all is well.
    On a side note, Epson has recently released updated Snow Leopard drivers; I noticed that my "printing" interface has changed since the previous driver and apparently is more stable as well.
