Printing current pdf to Adobe PDF printer

I have Windows XP and Adobe Acrobat 10 on my computer. I am able to take a 60 page pdf file from Internet Explorer, hit print to Adobe PDF, choose pages 4-6 to print, rename the file and save this document to my desktop. The pdf pops up and it's just 3 pages now instead of 60.
My colleague has Windows 7 and Acrobat 9.5.2 on her computer. She is not able to do this. When she takes the 60 page document and chooses to print pages 4-6 to Adobe PDF, the document freezes. The "Save as PDF File" opens up but it won't let you save the file or cancel out the of the window. It just has a circular arrow that continues to go around and around. The only way to get out is to open the Task Manager and close all the Internet Explorer windows.
I realize that she can save the pdf, extract the pages she wants, and then save the document, but if I am able to print a current pdf to Adobe pdf printer, then she should be able to as well.
Any ideas what causes this problem? Windows 7? Her version of Acrobat? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Bill,
Thanks for responding.
I finally figured out the problem on my own and thought I would share with everyone else. My colleague's machine had both Acrobat and Adobe PDF printer, but she didn't have Adobe Reader. I downloaded Reader, attempted to print to Adobe PDF and it worked!

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the most current edition of Adobe Reader, including the patch. When I open a PDF file, the screen is first grey, then viewable, but the message "Adobe Reader has stopped working" comes up. How do I remedy this?

RR,
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
and another similar website,

As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

Failing a full recovery, hopefully you have one or more earlier versions and/or bits of artwork saved before it happened.

Hi there, I currently subscribe to Adobe Pro Subscription (yearly) and I also subscribe to Adobe PDF pack (monthly). I only require Adobe to read and create PDF documents such as converting word/excel document or a web based document. Can someone tell me if I'm doubling up as I'm not sure of the differences between the products and would like to save a few dollars.

Acrobat Pro can do a lot more than the PDF Pack online service.
Try if you can do everything you need with PDF Pack; otherwise keep Acrobat Pro.

Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

Why won't Internet Explorer display current PDF page?

Why can't my computer's Internet Explorer display the current PDF page?

Dear acro123,
    I fixed the problem! I un-installed two different adobe programs (the current ver.11 and an old ver. 5, which I think caused the problems), went to the registry and removed all folders pertaining to the adobe programs, and decided to re-install the current version (ver.11) for a clean install. This seams to do the trick. Thank you for your concern. By the way it was Internet Explorer, running Windows XP and the Adobe versions were 11 and 5.
    Problem: An old page from April 21st kept showing up instead of a current updated webpage. It wouldn't update to the current page. My solution fixed it.
    Thank you!
Bob

How do I insert pages from one PDF into the current PDF in Acrobat X?

I just upgraded from Acrobat 8 to Acrobat X.
How do I insert pages from one PDF into the current PDF in Acrobat X pro? I was able to do this from the Edit menu in Acrobat 8 pro. Appreciate instructions. Thanks.

Hi chemadberk,
In my Acrobat 8 Pro, Insert Pages is under the Document menu but anyway...
In Acrobat X, click on the Tools pane(upper right side) then navigate to Pages- the Insert Pages commands are located there.
Hope this helps,
Dimitri

How can I get a new PDF I save to default to the current PDF location in Acrobat XI

When I open a PDF, make edits, and then save, it defaults to the last folder where I saved a PDF. How can I make it default to the folder where I opened the current PDF I'm working on? Acrobat 11.0.0 in Win 7 64.
Thanks,
Dave

That's not what my question was about, it's about the default location which is screwed up, but I have figured out that the problem was fixed in an update and my enterprise version of Acrobat doesn't update (go figure, they are only getting paid to supply this to 30K+ employees!) I will mark this as done.

What exactly do I need to do?

That means you were probably using Adobe Acrobat to view PDF's. Acrobat is totally unnessary, you can view PDF's in Preview (Applications - Preview).
BTW PLEASE complete your profile. It's very difficult to help someone when they don't provide any information about their system. You can easily do this by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right of this page, then click Profile and fill in the pertinent information.

Is Adobe Reader Touch a more current version than Adobe Reader 9?

Is Adobe Reader Touch a more current version than Adobe Reader 9? I am reviewing spec requirements for a software program to run on my Microsoft Surface RT, and need to know if the Adobe Reader Touch (which is currently the only Adobe Reader available in the Microsoft Store) is an "Adobe Reader 9 or later" version of Reader.

Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) and Adobe Reader XI (traditional desktop app with classic UI) are completely different products. Probably the only thing in common is the first part of the name "Adobe Reader".
The latest versions of Adobe Reader Touch are
version 2.0 for Windows 8.1/RT 8.1
version 1.3 for Windows 8/RT
For a Surface RT tablet running the Windows RT operating system, your choice of a PDF viewer is somewhat limited to Adobe Reader Touch or Microsoft Reader. Because Adobe Reader XI is not compatible with the Windows RT operating system.

After updating to the current versions of Adobe, I can no longer scan and send emails.

What exactly is "adobe"? Adobe is the name of a company that has hundreds of software products, each with a distinct name.
You are posting in the Flash Player forum; do you really receive emails with Flash attachments?
Flash Player also cannot scan or send emails.
Finally you give no information regarding your operating system, email client, etc.

How can I get the updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Macbook Pro where I have already installed CS5 from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I was able to successfully download the current version of Adobe DNG converter.

I get the same error messages re downloading error. I successfully downloaded the current version of Adobe DNG Converter & it installed perfectly. Help please!

The Adobe auto updater is highly unreliable.
You need to look for and download the update yourself and then manually apply it as per the detailed instructions on the download page:

Please note that the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in must be updated separately, after you have updated Photoshop:

Can I use an Adobe Professional license from 2008 with the current version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

Can I use an Adobe Professional license from 2008 with the current version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

With "license" you mean serial number? If that serial number was for a different Acrobat version (e.g. 9), you cannot use it for the current version XI.
You can however use it to purchase an upgrade from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html
