Printing from Acrobat Adobe 8 Pro

I have a pdf document that has grey shaded boxes on most of the pages.  It is a pdf that uses highlight fields so end users cann enter information and save it to the pdf without having to print the document out and fill it out by hand.  The problem I am having is that when I try and print the pdf document out the grey shaded boxes print solid black and the text in those boxes cannot be read. This is not the text that would be entered by the end user, it is the text that is already in the shaded boxes prior to the user entering in the information. I have tried 3 different printers, a Xeror 8500 phaser, HP Laserjet 3005n, and a HP Laserjet 2430 and I get the same results from all 3.  I even changed the prnter drivers and still get the same results. Does anybody have a clue as to how to fix this?

  • Can't Print from Acrobat 9 Pro on windows 7 64bit....

    I have a windows 7 64-bit computer that can't print to any printer from Acrobat 9 Pro.  When you try to print I get the following error:
    "print driver host for 32 bit application has stopped working"
    Any thoughts, it's driving me crazy....

    I'm having the identical problem and the only way I can get it to work is by not trying to change the title suggested by Acrobat for the PDF.
    If I try printing from Firefox and pasting in a new PDF title, it crashes Firefox.

  • PDF prints from Acrobat 8 Pro, but not from Acrobat 9 Pro

    I have a PDF that prints fine when I print from Acrobat 8 Pro, but when I open the same PDF in Acrobat 9 Pro, only portions of each page actually print out.
    All systems running Windows XP Pro, SP3
    A8P 8.1.2
    A9P 9.1.1
    Any ideas?

    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

  • Printing from Acrobat X Pro

    I converted a web page to a pdf in Acrobat X pro. The result was two pages of text and a few uncomplicated images. I tried to print those two pages to a standard desktop printer. Acrobat then  proceeded to "flatten" the pages...whatever that means. Flattening of each page took approximately 4 minutes...so I had to wait 8 minutes before my two pages could actually be printed. I then decided I wanted an extra copy of the pages, asked Acrobat X to print them again. Instead of remembering the version it just created during the "flattening" process, it started all over and took another 8 minutes to flatten the two pages before printing.
    How do I get acrobat to just print the document as a text page with images, like it always did in Acrobat 9? This is EXTREMELY frustrating and terribly inefficient. It's pretty useless for printing as it now operates, which is a big problem for me. And what is "flattening"??
    Thanks.

    OK, well no offense, but that's a odd response. I said that I have been running a dual Office 2010 and 2013 for over two years right along with Acrobat X Pro without problems. So telling me it is not compatible and that I should upgrade, is sort of a odd response.
    However it may point to the possibility that I should be careful to save the DOCX in compatibility mode, which I might have been doing previously and then failed to do this time, over and over again.
    I will test that theory out. So odd response or not, it may have given me a clue to solve the problem. But if it is solved, it will not be because I followed your advice.
    Best regards!

  • Trim Marks Not Printing from Acrobat 9 Pro

    I work at an envelope printing company, and we have recently
    upgraded my computer (Windows XP Pro SP 3) to Creative Suite 4.
    When I try to print a customer's PDF file with trim marks to show
    our typesetting department how to place the art, the trim marks
    don't print. I have tried every option I can find in the Advanced
    section of the Print dialog box. What worked for Acrobat 8 doesn't
    work for me anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Can't Duplex print from Acrobat Pro 9.3.2 to Epson Artisan 800

    I can not duplex Print from Acrobat Pro 9.3.2 to an Epson Artisan 800.
    I an running it from a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.3
    I called Epson support and they could not help me.
    However they suggested that I try using Adobe Reader.
    Well that works OK if I choose to print the document as an image, but I would prefer to just be able to work within Acrobat Pro.
    Does anyone outthere have any settings within Acrobat Pro that would enable duplex printing?
    Thanks

  • Adobe LiveCycle opens and closes automatically from Acrobat 9 Pro

    I just upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro because I wanted to use the LiveCycle form editor. When I try to open LiveCycle from Acrobat 9 Pro Forms menu tab, LiveCycle opens and then closes instantly.  I tried to open it several times but the same thing happened. Luckily I had an old form which was save as *.xpd which opened LiveCycle.
    Does anyone know what the issue is when trying to open LiveCycle from the Adobe 9 Pro Form tab? Thanks in advance.

    I can't answer as to why Designer is opening/closing in Acrobat, but you can open it by itself.
    The EXE file is located with the Acrobat install.   On my Win 7 its located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Designer 8.2\FormDesigner.exe

  • Solution to the problem printing from Acrobat 9.4.2

    Since there are nearly 200 posts in the original thread, It might be best (for those looking for a quick solution) to do this in a new thread.
    The problem is that you cannot print to a network printer from Acrobat (pro) 9.4.2.  Printing to a local (USB) printer seems okay.
    The solution (for us) was found at http://www.hypersensory.com/content/fix-printing-after-installing-adobe-acrobat-942-update
    The approach I tested was:
    [T]he fast and easy way:
    1.) go to the installation directory of Acrobat (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat)
    2.) Look for the file "Adobe.Acrobat.Dependencies.manifest"
    3.) Open it and delete the line <file name="atl.dll" />
    4.) Reboot your machine after saving that file
    This should fix the issue of being unable to print PDF file after installing 9.4.2 update for Adobe Acrobat.
    With thanks to the folks at HyperSensory.com!  It works!

    Could someone from Adobe respond to this specific issue so that we know we are being heard?  Will the fix for the print issue also resolve the 'attach to email' problem?  Is there any work around other than telling users to attach directly from their email programs?
    Thanks in advance for your response to our concerns.

  • Printing on acrobat 9 pro

    I try to print on Acrobat 9 pro
    I see the acrobat printer application is working
    At the end, I have no file !
    pls help if you can

    I've never had problems printing to postcript from Pages and going thru Adobe Acrobat for my pdf files....until Pages 09. You mentioned a "previous discussion;" can you point me to it? Is it as recent as 09?
    I've been able to isolate the problem to certain pages objects, but doesn't seem to be any pattern. I've extracted the objects and re-saved them in Preview, inserted them and solved the problem, at least a time or two, but far too much work!
    Wonder if re-installing iWorks09 might help?

  • Same as Source Printing from Acrobat 9

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm in the process of testing CS4 for deployment to a large print production environment and I'm seeing some interesting behavior in so far as it's handling of color management is concerned, specifically with Same as Source printing from Acrobat.
    I currently have CS2 deployed, and we're using InDesign for page composition. We primarily accept Adobe RGB (1998) and US Web Coated (SWOP) artwork. PDFs are created from InDesign via File > Export, and we have it configured for "No Color Conversion" and "Include all Profiles." As such, our PDFs contain both RGB and CMYK artwork, all of which is tagged with an ICC profile.
    In Acrobat 7, we submit these files "Same as Source" to our RIPs (Fiery and Wasatch) in order to preserve the embedded profiles. All of our color management is handled at the RIP. This works quite nicely. We have tested the submissions and the RGB and CMYK builds (color numbers) come through dead on.
    With Acrobat 9 Same as Source submissions, we are seeing that the builds are changing, and that we are getting a conversion to CMYK.
    -Original PDF file
    Raster RGB - 191,45,47
    Here are the numbers that are submitted by Acrobat, captured by our RIP:
    -Acrobat 7 Same As Source
    Raster RGB - 191,45,47
    -Acrobat 7 Printer/Postscript Color Management
    Raster CMYK- 0,244,245,0
    -Acrobat 9 Same As Source
    Raster CMYK - 0,242,251,0
    -Acrobat 9 Printer/Postscript Color Management
    Raster CMYK - 0,242,251,0
    -Acrobat 9 Acrobat Color Management
    Raster CMYK - 17,248,245,1
    So the question is: What changes have been made in Acrobat 9 to cause for it to handle Same as Source print submissions differently? Why is it that our builds are changing when Same as Source has always been how we get "pass through" color from Acrobat?
    Has anyone else run into this? From the perspective of a RIP-driven, color managed workflow, this is a serious issue, no?
    (This is also posted to the Color Management forum, as it is both a color management concern generally, and an issue specificly related to Acrobat.)
    Matt

    We’ve done some further investigations into the differences in Same as Source printing from Acrobat 7 and Acrobat 9. For our tests we created a simple InDesign file with two red vector rectangles, one defined as Adobe RGB (1998) and one as U.S. Web Coated (SWOP). This file was then exported to PDF with “No Color Conversion” and “Include All Profiles.” The resulting PDF contained both rectangles tagged as specified, as verified with PitStop.
    We then opened this PDF in both Acrobat 7 and 9 and printed to PS files (at the time, the queue for our HP5500PS was selected). Our cursory findings are:
    1. The file sizes differs, which suggests that there is a difference right off the bat.
    2. The printed artwork differs visually, which is troublesome.
    3. In both instances, when opened in Notepad2, the page objects appear to be tagged properly with Adobe RGB and SWOP specified as the objects color space. This, on the other hand, is good.
    a.       Acrobat 7
      i.      RGB – Line 3342
      ii.      CMYK – Line 3400
    b.       Acrobat 9
      i.      RGB – Line 8406
      ii.      CMYK – Line 8468
    4. And here's the biggie: When the PS file created from Acrobat 9 is opened in Illustrator, it says "The document does not have an embedded RGB profile" and it allows for the specification of an RGB profile ONLY. When the PS file created from Acrobat 7 is opened in Illustrator, it says "This document contains objects using both CMYK and RGB color modes. Illustrator allows only one color mode per document. Which color mode would you like to use?" Of course, this PS file SHOULD contain mixed color modes (because it came from a mixed color mode PDF), but only the PS files from Acrobat 7 do. The PS files from Acrobat 9 do NOT. This suggests to us that the PS files (and therefor print data submitted to PS queues as Same As Source) created by Acrobat 9 are not honoring the embedded ICC profiles of tagged artwork.
    Does anyone out there have any thoughts or experience? If what we are finding is true, this is a major problem for Adobe's Acrobat 9 print engine.

  • Why upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to X or XI

    What are the benefits from upgrading from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat  10 or 11?

    You should ask this question in one of the Acrobat forums. The following is probably the most appropriate one: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/creating__editing_%26_exporting_pdfs?view=discus sions
    It would be helpful to know the type of things you use Acrobat for. Some features have been enhanced significantly and some functionality you have with Acrobat 9 Extended has been removed.

  • Printing from an Adobe product suddenly not working

    The latest security update for 10.5.5 seems to have messed up my printing ability.
    Printing from Adobe Illustrator or InDesign (CS3) my files are mysteriously reduced and rotated, or just reduced as if they were forced to fit smaller paper. The workaround is printing from Acrobat.
    Printer is a Savin 3528 color using the Postscript driver.
    Another similar Apple in the office developed the same problem once update was installed. I am pretty sure it was this update: HT1222
