Printing difference from acrobat pro or acrobat reader

Hi,
I noticed when i maken pdf files from inDesign ansd print from my computer the fonts are printed fine and sharp (from acrobat pro) but when other people are printing the documents from the reader version the fonts aan kinda blurred and grainy..
I first thought fonts were nog embedded right, but that's not the issue.. The pdf says it's embedded just fine, and eve with the font installed locally it doesn;t make a difference..
For the rest the computers are installed the same and printer settings are equal. The only difference is i have installed the CS5 package on my machine and the rest doesn't.
Is there a difference when printing from the acrobat reader?

PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet. The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17. I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI. I did double check for updates on both products and installed them. Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
1) Click ADVANCED
2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
3) Set DPI to 300
4) Click OK
5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

Can not longer print pdf from Acrobat Reader

All of a sudden I can no longer print pdf files to my printer. It is shared by all the computers in our household and any time I try to print from any of the computers now, instead of printing it creates a prn file instead. I can find no option in the printer properties where selecting or deselecting something to enable or disable printing to files. All the systems are either MS Vista or Windows 7. Though there are commands that allow sending a prn to a network printer, they require a named print server, which we don’t have on our peer-to-peer network.
It is interesting that I can create a pdf file in Photoshop on my system and it will print from Photoshop. I can also print the “problematic” documents for Photoshop, which I only have on one system. But anything created in Acrobat will not print natively from Acrobat reader.

In the Print dialog click on Advanced, then uncheck Print to File.

Printing forms from Acrobat Reader iOS

I love the new ability in Acrobat Reader for iOS to fill in forms. I've noticed that when the filled in form is emailed and then opened in Acrobat for PC that it keeps the form details and allows it to be printed with all markups etc. However, when trying to print the PDF directly from the iOS version of Reader, the form fields and markups don't print. It would be great if there was a way to flatten the marked up PDF in iOS Reader and be able to print it direct from the iPad and/or store the PDF in iBooks. thanks!

Hello Leighdr,
Adobe Reader on iOS currently relies on Apple's AirPrint framework, and directly passes the saved PDF (including the form fields and markups) to AirPrint, which is the reason for your observation since AirPrint doesn't support printing these markups. We have taken down this feature request (to flatten these fields before print) for consideration in a future update.
Thanks for your feedback!

Cannot print PDF from Acrobat Reader to Canon printer?

Printing was working before but now nothing happens, even not showing up in printer que. From Word, Execl or web page printing is working fine. Reinstalling Acrobat and printer drivers didn't fix it.

Hi ronquaedvlieg,
What is the current version of Reader installed on your machine?
Have you tried to install the latest version, also have you tried to check latest updated driver for your printer.
What is the problem you are facing while trying to print using Reader, are you getting any error. Attach screen shot of the error if any.
Also i moving this discussion under Reader forums.

HUGE BUG printing Booklet from Acrobat Pro 11.0.10

I spent an hour chatting with Adobe support in India. They could not solve this issue.
I submitted a BUG REPORT at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
Here is the BUG Report:
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Export individual pages from InDesign as pdf (16-page booklet, each individual page is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2")
2. Open pdf in Acrobat Pro 11.0.10
3. Choose actual size, then choose booklet, and print. (printer contains letter-size paper, and page set-up is set to 100% scale.)
Results: The printed booklet is the WRONG SIZE! The pagination is correct as usual, but each individual page is being REDUCED, and now each page image is too small, and there is now a GAP between pages, and the entire booklet is useless. If you can, please see case number: 0186447426: support chat: it covers everything we have tried so far ... (We tried everything they could think of, but all attempts failed.) This bug was introduced somewhere along the line with Yosemite.
Expected results: As usual, when printing booklets from Acrobat Pro, we expect the print to be the right size, the same size as the InDesign doc, and as it has been printed previously by Acrobat Pro prior to Yosemite. Thanks for fixing this disaster of a bug. Please contact me if you need further info, copies of the individual page pdf, etc.
I am literally stuck. I can go through the laborious process of using InDesign to "print booklet" to a postscript file and use Distiller to make the booklet pdf, but under Yosemite, I am prevented from installing print drivers unless that printer is locally available on my network. Unfortunately, the printer is located at my client's place of business.
I realize there is typically a leap-frog effect between operating system updates, hardware, and application updates, but combined with other Yosemite issues, this Acrobat Pro bug is killing my business.

DrStrik9 (sounds a bit poisonous to me!),
The issue, regrettably, is that Acrobat is performing as designed. And it has nothing to do with either MacOS 10.10 or anything new or different with Acrobat 11.0.10 (versus earlier versions going all the way back to the initial implementation of the booklet printing feature). And this isn't directly a printer driver issue, either! The same behaviour occurs both on MacOS and Windows.
The problem, simply stated, is that the Booklet print option in Acrobat (and Reader) is attempting to avoid loss of content due to the paper's non-printable margins. The scaling factors in the Size print option are not utilized at all in the Booklet print option. The Booklet print option attempts to fit two logical pages of your PDF file into the printable area of each physical sheet of paper. Assuming that your printer's Letter page is defined as having a printable area of 8"x10.5" due to a 0.25" non-printable area surrounding the page, then the Booklet print option will force each of the 5.5"x8.5" pages of your PDF file into a 5.17'x8" area centered on each half of the 8.5"x11" printed sheet.
There are three workarounds that I know of:
(1)    Many high end printers have booklet printing capabilities in the printer or printer driver itself. Check the detailed driver options to see whether in fact your printer / printer driver does support a booklet printing option. If so, try that first. That would likely solve your problem.
(2)    Assuming that this is a PostScript printer, edit the .PPD file for the printer you are using to to modify the specification of the Letter printable area. In the PPD file, you will see an entry similar to this:
    *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "18 18 594 774"
or
    *ImageableArea Letter/US Letter: "18 18 594 774"
Edit the entry to change only the four numbers as follows:
    *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "0 0 612 792"
That indicates to the PostScript driver that there is no unprintable border on your pages. Then save the .PPD file. I would then suggest rebooting and then trying to print. Note that the side effect of this is that Fit and Shrink oversized pages options will not take into account the non-printable area of your printer.
Note that a similar hack can be done with Ledger (i.e. 11"x17") page descriptions in the PPD to fix a similar issue affecting printing 8.5"x11" pages to 11"x17" sheets as booklets.
(3)    There are some very reliable third party plugins for Acrobat that provide full advanced document imposition capabilities, creating what are known as printer flats as a new PDF file from your logical pages. There are n-up, booklet, step-and-repeat, etc. options galore in such packages. Examples include Quite Imposing and PDF Snake. I have personally used Quite Imposing for nearly 15 years for this purpose and can vouch that it works beautifully. I don't have personal experience with PDF Snake, although it is less expensive.
Good luck and let us know if any of this helps you at all!

Printing from Acrobat Reader 9.1

I can not print from Acrobat Reader 9.1 to my HP printer connected wirelessly to my Mac. I can print fine from any other software on my Mac. Tips and suggestions are welcome!

I'm having the same issue. It all started after upgrading to 10.5.7 and Adobe Acrobat to 8.1.5.
I have an HP Photosmart C7280 and I am able to print via WiFi from all applications except Acrobat (version 8). However, Acrobat will print 1 page documents, but nothing longer.
At first I thought it was the 10.5.7 update. I saw in some other places that downloading and installing the combo update worked better for some folks. I did that, but still no joy.
I did the "Reset Printing System..." thing in system preferences and added the HP back. Still no joy.
I uninstalled and re-installed the HP software (drivers and all). Still no joy.
I uninstalled Acrobat and re-installed from CD so I was back to version 8.0. Still no joy.
I have not re-upgraded Acrobat to 8.1.5, but I don't have high hopes.
I wondering where the fix will come from. Hard to say that the problem is exclusively Adobe... made two changes to my system (OS upgrade and Acrobat upgrade). I have seen folks that dropped back to 10.5.6 and the problem persisted for them. I don't want to go back to 10.5.6 as I don't have that kind of time.
Printing from Preview for now.

PDFs not printing from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8

PDF don't print from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8. The same PDFs print from Preview. I've tried many PDF from various sources (over a dozen including those created on my Mac) in every case they print fro Preview and not from Reader.
I'm currently on OS 10.4.7 but This has been an issue for some time and I believe was the case with Reader 7.0.7.

FIXED!
Priner Setup Utility/Reset Printing System
Then added priner again.
Interesting that the only issue was printing from Acrobat Reader and that this fixed it. Probably deleted and "rewrote" whatever file was at issue.

Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader

Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader - any file, any time (Win 7, Adobe many versions until recent).
Copy works, but causes a needless and useless error message that has to be clicked away every time.
This problem is published on the web for a million times without a working solution. And even in the Adobe forum no qualified answer (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/441370)
When can I expect a solution?

Calling custom COM-based library from Acrobat/Reader javaScript

Hi All,
is ist possible to extend the javascript object model? For example, is it possible to call a custom COM-based library from Acrobat/Reader using javaScript. Or is their a diffrent way to call third part libs?
Thanks
CommanderPeek

I need a Reader Integration to a document management system (DMS). The user should interact from Reader GUI with the DMS.
Nobody is able to give me binding statement, if my customer (this company need plugin for internal use only) will get the Adobe Reader Integration Key License/digital certificate for such a Reader plugin and how high the costs will be. I wait and wait for Adobes’ Feedback :-(
For this reason I check a different solution with Javascript but I have no idea how to make calls to the DMS from Javascript. On other side are COM- or .Net-based libraries available.

I also saw this same error message above the Print Queue, ever since allowing the Epson Printer Software Update (August 2013) to install. After this update installed, I was able to print a basic Test Page from the Print Queue, but when printing from any application I only got "Looking for printer..." displayed above the Print Queue, which would stall and never print.
2008 MacBook, 10.7.5. It used to print to my Epson WorkForce 845 wirelessly without problems, before this software update was installed.
Changing the driver from "Epson WorkForce 845" to "Epson WorkForce 600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3" was a workaround that did allow me to print, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
Found this better solution in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5233149?start=0&tstart=0
(with thanks to Yuengdog1983):
This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty:
Open System Preferences and choose Sharing.
Enter a name for your computer.
Even without restarting the MacBook, I was able to now change back to using the Epson WorkForce 845 driver v9.0 successfully. I never would have guessed that a Computer Name is required in order to print!
