Printing a PDF document to virtual PDF printer converts text to image in output PDF-file

When I "print" any regular PDF document to a PDF virtual printer, it always converts a source regular (textual) PDF document into an image only document. It applies even to pure plain text documents (say, HTML source code etc.)
(I often need to create a PDF document from the existing PDF. Yes, I know, it might seems quite pointless, but actually it makes sense.)
Thus I have 2 questions:
1) Is such sonvertion normal or I do anything wrong myself?
2) It is by design, is there any woraround to prevent conveting text to image?
Many thanks in advance!

Have you checked to see if the "Print As Image" option is inadvertently checked? In the Print dialog, click the Advanced button then look for the checkbox.

    The document library contains multiple document sets , Can we restrict the printing according to document sets? Allow printing for some documents and restrict the printing for particular documents in same document library
     Is this possible?Please suggest.

    Yes, that can be done. But note that all administrators will have the same right to print, so you need to make sure the users are not administrators. You can include a macro to disable printing, but if the users disable macro, they can print the documents.
    Hence, there is no foolproof way to prevent printing documents. If you still need a foolproof security, PDF format provides password based security (viewing doesn't require a password) that can be implemented to prevent the document from printing,
    which doesn't require any special scripts and is tough.

  • Using Adobe Export PDF, I converted a PDF document into MS Word. However, all the images are missing

    Using Adobe Export PDF, I converted a PDF document into MS Word. However, all the images are missing--replaced by black rectangles. How can I fix this? Thanks for any assistance.

    Hi Ravinder,
    As I mentioned in my email to you, I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior your described.  The images appear properly.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.

  • PDF Documents can not be printed

    Recently, after a new Adobe Reader updated, I can not print PDF document any more. (Word documents all can be printed.) Every time when I clicked "print", the error messag "Before you can perform print-related task such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer."came up. I uninstalled the Adobe Reader 8 and installed Adobe Reader x, but no use. How can I solve this problem?

    Try deleting and re-installing the printer.

  • Printing error "The document could not be printed", ok "There were no pages selected to print" WHY?

    I have a file that is 2.52MB and when I go to print it it gives me the error box "The document could not be printed" I click OK and get "There were no pages selected to print" I made sure that I chose the All pages button. I also tried the Pages and selected all the pages. But here is the funny part. I have Adobe Profesinal and I have converted imged PDF' to searchable PDF's meany times. Although the original document was already searchable I ran the convertion tool on the original searchable PDF and now the file is 33.5MB and now I can print this document. Is there a security tool that was added to the original document?

    Hello PW, I am having this problem and all suggestions haven't worked yet. Where is the Preferences|Documents you are referring to? I am on a PC and using Windows.
    EDIT: I found it and did, but still not working.

  • Printing error: The document could not be printed. There are no pages selected.

    I know this has been asked multiple times by different people with different scenarios but none of the troubleshooting has yet worked for me.
    I have a PDF document that has been exported directly out of InDesign that gives me the above message. If I print the document one page at a time, it prints just fine. But if I print it as a whole document, or if I select a subset of pages, it gives me the No Pages Selected error (even when said subset of pages will print individually). I have tried exporting the document using various settings, I have tried converting any embedded documents to images first, I've copied the original InDesign file and tried exporting out of the copy, I have saved the PDF as an optimised PDF with all private application data removed etc, I've tried printing off other computers, I have even tried some of the apparent fixes that have worked for other users. Nothing has worked so far. All other documents that I print work fine, it is quite literally a single PDF that will not print.
    I'm running Creative Cloud for PC and all drivers are up to date.
    Any ideas?

  • MS Excel document as attachment to a PDF document does not open with a hot spot/link in the PDF

    Hi, I have attached an excel file to a pdf document. I need to open this document in a new window by clicking an icon/hotspot in the pdf document to which it it attached.
    I am using the Link Tool to create a hot spot around the icon in the pdf. In the next window I am using the Go to Page view option, opening the attachment to its first page and clicking the "set link" button.
    For some reason, clicking the hotspot does not open the excel document as it does another pdf document.
    Need help resolving this issue with attached documents.

    Select a particular download file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window.  In the Open With section choose the desired default application from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button.
    For .dmg files use DiskImageMounter (System/Library/CoreServices/ folder.)
    For .zip files use Archiver - same folder as above - or download TheArchiver - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

  • How do I edit a pdf document and save it without having to save it as a new file?

    I recently copied a pdf document to my computer. I need to make changes to it and forward it to someone else for review. I can make the changes, but when I try to save it, I get a message that the document is read only or is already open. As far as I can tell, there are no restrictions on the document and it is not already open.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat X on a PC running Windows 7 64 bit.
    Any help with this frustrating problem would be appreciated.

    Often what you describe occurs because Windows Explorer is open and has focus on the file.
    Put focus elsewhere and, if the Preview mode is "on" turn it "off".

  • When I print a Word document to a shared printer, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.

    When I print a Word for Mac document to a shared printer (that is connected to my iMac) from my Macbook Pro, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.  I have tried to adjust the margins and the page setup settings but to no avail.  It used to print fine until recently.  Is there a way to fix it so that the printer prints what print preview shows?

    I should add that when I e-mail this document to myself and print it directky from the iMac, it prints fine.

  • PDF document doesn't show filled in text in Windows.

    Hi I made a PDF document with fill-in fields in Acrobat Pro 9. When I fill-in that document, by using Acrobat Reader, I can see the text on my Mac, then I send it as a PDF to someone else, then they can't see what I typed in the fill-in fields.
    They did send it back because they thought is was an empty form, but when I look to the form my Mac mail I can see what I typed.?!?
    Did I do something wrong with the making of the formfields?
    I Noticed when I want to fill-in the form using Acrobat Pro, the moment I tab to another field, the former field is not visible anymore, but it is visible on my Mac when I open it in Acrobat Reader.
    Any suggestions what the problem is?
    Thanks,
    Laurens

    This is typical when you use the Preview application on the Mac to fill-in and save a form. Are you sure this was not done? Preview should be avoided at all costs when working with PDF forms as it corrupts them in a number of ways.
