Printing from Outlook causes PDF attachment to minimize
I have Acrobat Pro 9 installed on
a Windows XP workstation. I have to print PDFs from attachments in Outlook 2003. Everytime I print, the PDF minimizes. As I do this many times a day, the process of then going back to the PDF to close it is very frustrating. I have tested on other PCs, and the PDF stays up when printing. Is there a setting that I can check to keep the PDF mazimized?
Thanks, AAKADMIN
What version of MSIE, Acrobat 9.?.?, Window?

Cant print from Outlook 2003 or IS 11
Hi, a a few things i would look into on this one. Firstly have a quick look in event viewer and your AV logs to see if any further information can be found. Lastly have a look into anything that could have been installed or updated (Even the widows updates you mention) as one of these may be the cause of blocking the print process. i would advise looking into AV also on this.
In the last few days I can no longer print from Outlook 2003 or IE 11. I could before and I can still from Word, Excel etc. In both Outlook & IE, when I push Print, the print dialog comes up, my printer is recognized, I can access its features, but when I press Print, nothing goes into the print que. I have Windows 7 and have just updated and have restarted and cold started.
Any Ideas?

General Acrobat Problem Steps
If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
Apply all updates IN NUMBER ORDER
Acrobat Update http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
If outlook 2007, visit

Printing from Outlook 2011 stopped working
I am helping a friend who uses Microsoft Office 2011 on an iMac running 10.7.2. He is suddenly unable to print from Outlook. Choosing Print... from the File menu or clicking a print button produces no result at all - the normal print dialogue box does not appear. Previously he could print without a problem. He has no problem printing from Word in Office 2011.
We have updated Office to 14.1.4 through Microsoft Update. We have worked through the advice in the Microsoft support document 2409305 - backing up Outlook identities, and removing Oulook Preferences as advised there. The error remains. We then created a new identity and found we could print from that. So we followed the Microsoft advice to rebuild the Outlook identity database. We still cannot print from Outlook.
Advice greatly appreciated!
Andrew SpackmanThanks everyone!
The reason we did not import the mail, contacts, etc from the old identity to the new identity, as suggested by Templeton Peck, is that we were following step by step a Microsoft troubleshooting document, in which creating the new identity was a testing step, which was then followed by different advice on what to do depending on the result. Importing the mail etc was not one of the recommendations.
Now that may well be a good move. But while I have been using Macs and email systems since 1985 I don't have any experience of Outlook. (I do have some experience of Entourage - as previously used by another friend - and there rebuilding the database seemed to be a regular activity.)
As there is no Exchange involved in my friend's use of email, I am inclined to take what would be the easiest route for me (and, I hope, entirely satisfactory for my friend!) which is a move to Apple Mail (and iCal and Address Book of course). That's the setup I currently use. Obviously if Exchange were involved I wouldn't let up on the Outlook problem, but it looks as though that would require professional help.
Thnaks again!

when printing from an online PDF, the page prints in extra large scale. How do I fix this?
This can happen when Firefox has misread the paper size from the information supplied by Windows. Clearing it can involve finding some obscure settings, but here goes:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) For each setting for the problem printer, right-click and Reset it. The fastest way is to right-click with the mouse and then press the r key on the keyboard with your other hand.
Note: In a couple other threads involving Brother printers, the preference '''printer_printer_name.print_paper_data''' was set to 256 and when the user edited it to 1 that fixed the paper size problem. If you see a 256 there, you can edit the value by doubling-clicking it or using right-click>Modify. -
Printing from Outlook only goes to MP tray
When printing from Outlook 2013 it will always send the job to the MP tray, ignoring the tray that is selected. The printer is a UTAX P-4030DN, deployed
via group policy. The option to allow application override has been disabled. All other office programs do not have this problem! Any help appreciated.Hi,
Go to FILE -> Print -> Print Options -> Define Styles -> Edit -> Paper tab -> Paper source, there should be where you can choose the default paper tray for outlook.
Check if you have selected the right paper source.

Separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010
Working with Windows 7 Enterprise, Outlook 2010. We've set up our desk printers to print a separator page with the user's name, as several people use the same printers in our building. Printing from IE, Word, etc. all work fine, and it'll print
out the correct username on the separator page.
When anyone attempts to print an Outlook email, it instead prints out my username. We've found that it doesn't happen if they click on the "quick print" button, but it happens every time if they do "file > Print" or Ctrl+P.Hi
As per the information and details provided by you that separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
To create a custom separator page file, use a text editor such as
Notepad. On the very first line, type one single character, and then press
Enter. The character on this line defines the character used as an escape character. For example, the following list assumes that this character is the at sign (@).
Enter the escape codes for the functions you want, and then save the file with an .sep extension in the Windows System32 subfolder.
In the Print Manager, select the printer that you want to use the separator page file with, and then click
Choose Properties on the Printer menu.
Click
Details, specify the name of the desired separator page file in the
Separator File box, and then click OK.
Note:
Put the custom separator page file in one of the following locations:
In the %Windir%System32 folder.
In a folder whose path contains a SepFiles folder. For example:
Drive:\Folder\SepFiles\Subfolder
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

PDF attachment fails to print from Outlook
Hello,
Our company is using Outlook 2010 Professional Plus and Adobe Reader 10.1.12. We have been having an issue where certain users (seemingly random) are unable to print PDF documents directly from Outlook. There are no errors and the printing options box populates, but nothing is sent to the printer. This is happening on many different printers with different models and makes. The work around we have found is to save the attachment out to the desktop and print from there, however we would like to get to the bottom of this issue.
Thank you for any advice in advance.
-RossHi rosszip,
Are you still facing this issue?
If you save the attachment to computer and then try to print with Adobe Reader, are you able to print.
It might be the issue with the user level access.

Ajlan Huda. -
Print to PDF is very slow showing "save as" dialog when printing from Outlook 2013
Hello,
I'm having a problem with one of my users. The problem is intermittent. At first when I was looking at the issue, here is what I saw:
In Outlook 2013, I opened an e-mail. I then selected Print, selected the Adobe PDF printer, and hit the print button. There was over a 1 minute delay before the "save as" dialog appeared to ask me where to save the document and what to name it. I did this for several different e-mails with and without attachments and the problem was consistent. I saved the e-mail to a local e-mail file and the problem was the same. This process was over 30 or 40 minutes. I was pulled away for another issue and now the "save as" dialog pops up within seconds. The user is complaining that this happens regularly. I tried a repair, cleared temp files, and was going to try printing from other apps, but then it started temporarily behaving itself, so I can't tell you if the same delay existed in other apps. I didn't see anything obvious in the event viewer logs.
Has anyone else seen this? Anyone have an idea on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
Jeffery SmithThank for your help Bill, but changing settings in the distiller did not seem to work. As my application prints directly to the default application without using anything specific to Acrobat, I was hoping there was a simple way forward. A colleague suggested copying registry entries from the account I logged on as to the S-1-5-18 entry, then rebooting. This had no effect as the prompt still comes up.
Aandi, I don't have the Acrobat SDK or any experience of it.
Also I'm not sure where any code/script would sit since the application is stable and so I would rather not change it.
If it amounts to a few lines of javascript sitting outside the application then that would be of interest. -

Quick Printing from Outlook 2010sp1 / Adobe reader X and XI
Hey all,
We have a problem with printing multiple PDF attachments from Outlook 2010. When a user wants to print a e-mail with two of more PDF attachments only one attachment gets printed, after that Adobe Reader gives a Error message that the documents cannot be found. I found some "solutions" on the net, but none of them works with the combination of Outlook 2010sp1 and Adobe reader X and XI.
I hope you guys have a sollutions for this, or help me find one. Also if you need more information please ask!
Thanks!Just a little update:
When I open a e-mail with multiple PDF attachemts, and then use the normal print function it works. All the attachments are getting printed. But when I use the normal Print function from say the inbox. (same like Quick Print) it doenst work.
So I guess there is a diffrence in how Outlook sends the Print and Quick Print command (DDE?) to Adobe Reader when the e-mail is open. -
For some reason I am no longer able to print from the internet, or pdfs.
In Firefox and Safari, I get the an error saying "Printer Error: An error occurred while printing."
In Acrobate Pro I get the error "The document could not be printed."
I even took a screen shot, but I'm not able to print from Preview.
I recently used Font Nuke to clear my font cache. Could this have caused a problem?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.Try clearing the print queue ...
Open System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
Click Open Print Queue
Delete all jobs then restart your Mac. Turn the printer off then back on.
Try printing a pdf file. -
How to print from XP to HP attached to Mac Mini usb
Hi,
I have attached the HP F4280 Printer via usb to my Mac Mini. Printing my MacBo Pro wirelessly to it is okay already as answered on the other topic that I started as well. I can actually print now using my client mac.
My problem now is that I have a pc notebook as well running on XP. I want to print wirelessly from it to HP attached to Mac. I have configured all print sharing etc on Mac host. but can't add in XP.
I have downloaded already Bonjour for windows on my PC but can't seem to find the printer when I entered \\192.168.1.105\computer name.
Any help would be appreciated. No XP forum I could find.
Thanks
JingoYou need a third party printing app or an app that lets your computer act as the print server. Your printer is not an AirPrint printer from what I can see. You can double check here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
Printopia for the Mac or Fingerprint for Windows will let you use the computer as the print server.

Problem printing from Adobe Reader .pdf with Brother printer from a Mac
I have a macbook pro with Intel Core i7 and OS X Yosemite and Brother MFC-7360N printer connected by wifi. My problem is that I can print everything from all programs except from the Adobe Reader .pdf that do I print from my Preview files .. The error I get is "Error filter". Does anyone know where can originate the error and how to fix it?
With another O.S. in another computer is OK.
Thank you

3138 SQL error opening sqlite db file from Outlook 2010 as attachment
Has anyone of you tried sending the sqlite db file thru e-mail and then open the file from Outlook 2010?
I have an air app that can be opened by doubleclicking the sqlite database file (invoke event). The file is sent via e-mail from the app itself, so another user can run the app directly from their e-mail client once he receives the db. Now everything works fine unless you use Outlook 2010 - when I open it I get an sql error 3138 - do you know what can be the problem? Everything is fine when I'm using different e-mail client (the same e-mail account, just other client) like Outlook 2003 or Thunderbird or Opera. I'm guessing Outlook 2010 is using some kind of protection to attachments that is making the file not understandable by the app, but Microsoft seems to ignore my e-mails sent to them with the same question. The db file is not encrypted if that changes anything and saving the file from outlook to desktop and then running does not help. When I do the same using Outlook 2003 everything works as it should, but unfortunatelly my customer upgraded to 2010 :/ Any ideas would be much appreciated.This looks like a new behavior of Outlook 2010 and isn't specific to PDFs. You will need to "save as" the document. There is a thread at Microsoft forums about this with some possible workarounds:
