Printing from sequenced Adobe Reader 11

We have sequenced Adobe Reader XI which works fine apart from a printing issue.
When the user prints an Adobe document a lot of the text displays as small boxes.....looks like a driver issue?
If the user goes to the advanced printer settings and ticks 'Print as Image' it prints out fine
Any ideas?

Take a look here, I beleive much of this guide can be applied to Adobe Reader XI

Check out the info about the print driver in particular

  • Printing issues with Adobe Reader

    I am having a problem printing from my Adobe Reader 9.  When I print from a PDF the print is backwards.

    I'm getting the same issue on some of the computers at my work.
    We're all using Acrobat Standard 8.2.2 and Windows 7.
    I'm not 100% whether the files have been created in In Design but they certainly look like they probably have.
    Seems like Acrobat 8 (and various updates since) are not very compatible with Windows 7. I've been having plenty of headaches since we upgraded the operating systems 2 weeks ago.

  • Running Safari 6.0.3  When trying to print files using Adobe Reader 11.0.02, print preview screen is all black.  If files are attached to an email, receiver can't open it.  It does work OK in Firefox 19.0.2  Any ideas?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Sequencing Adobe Reader

    discovered that v-Adobe Reader fails to open a particular report from a web page.
    Locally installed Reader works well.
    I sequenced AR 6 month ago following the instructions on APPV recipes site (one of well known).
    Before starting a new sequencing I would like to ask a suggestion/s.
    I found instructions on Adobe site (updated Dec 2014). Can somebody review if all this should be done because they refer to appv 4.6 and I am running 5 sp2 HF5.
    The most important for me points are 2, 19 and 26. Sure that we don't have Q: but PVD that I place on C:\Folder
    The original link to official Adobe APPV deployment is here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/appv.html
    My goal is to make fully enabled READER. Probably, before clicking I finished I will double check all preferences.
    Thanks.

    I'd recommend that you don't follow that recipe as there's a lot there that's App-V 4.6 specific BUT, having said that, point # 32 is still relevant (setting bUpdater to 0)
    Also, see this - https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2900929

  • Problem printing patterns with Adobe Reader 9

    Hello all
    We have a mix environment of Windows 7/Vista with Adobe Reader 9.2 and Windows XP/2k with Adobe Reader 8.1.7. Documents including charts with patterns created with the option Save as PDF from Word 2007(SP2) look and print fine with Adobe Reader 8, but the same documents look and print the patterns a lot more compressed with Adobe Reader 9. All computers print to the same printers with the same print drivers (a windows print server). Attached is a sample PDF file. I've installed Adobe Reader 9.2 also on Win2k and WinXP computers with the same results, so the problem doesn't come from the OS.
    Any idea on what's wrong with Adobe Reader 9? Is it a configuration problem or defaults changed in Adobe Reader 9?
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to use Adobe Acrobat; Adobe Reader does not support editing.

  • Disable Printing Dialogue in Adobe Reader

    I'm looking for a way to totally block/hide the printing dialogue in Adobe Reader 7.0.
    As far as I know the only way to do this is to drop a script in the JavaScript folder to manipulate the whole application (catching the application initialization event). Is this right?
    I can't create my own dialogs and printing methods via an embedded script because I'm dealing only with the Reader.
    Can anyone provide some hints how to realise that?

    > I can't create my own dialogs and printing methods via an embedded script because I'm dealing only with the Reader.
    You can still develop plug-ins for Reader that will override the standard print dialog and replace it with your own. There is a document called "Developing for Adobe Reader" that comes with the SDK. Find it here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/reader_overview.pdf
    With JavaScript, you cannot prevent the print dialog from coming up if the user click on File > Print or the Print button.
    You can, from a folder-level script, create your own silent print function, but you cannot replace the existing print functions with it from JavaScript. This can only be done from a plug-in. You could create another button or menu item that calls your silent print function, but the original interactive methods would still be there for the user to use if they wanted.

  • Capture print event in adobe reader and show a message

    Hi,
    We have only adobe reader installed on our machines, is it possible to use the sdk to capture the print event in adobe reader? Our goal is to show a message to the users before the print dialog appears and
    as soon as the user prints a document?
    Is it possible?
    Thank you,
    Peter

    You can certainly develop a plugin for Adobe Reader that would do this.
    Plugins are written in C/C++ and, for Reader, you will need to obtain a license & associated key from Adobe to enable that plugin.   Details are all in the SDK.

  • Emailing from within Adobe Reader XI to Outlook 2010 32-bit bounces

    I have a wierd one going. The problem appears to be with Adobe Reader XI. If I email from withing Adobe Reader up pops Outlook 2010 and away we go but the email bounces. It says the destination address does not exist. If I open Outlook and browse for the attachment and send it without touching Acrobat Reader it works just fine.
    The problem sure appears to be sending from Acrobat Reader. Any clues?

       I am going to have to ding Adobe. The problem does appear to be on their end. Adobe is detecting the default storage and then using the account associated with that storage.
       That is totally incorrect and a very sloppy, inaccurate job on Adobe's part. They need to detect and use the default account. Nicely done Adobe!

  • Duplex Printing Problem in Adobe Reader X (Mac)

    My normal printer setting is for duplex printing. However, Adobe Reader X will only print on one side of the paper.. This is on a MacPro under Mac OSX 10.6.6 and Adobe Reader X Version 10.0.1 printing to a Canon IP4500 inkjet printer. Other applications duplex fine.
    Any one else with this problem? Fixes or workarounds?

    After having the problem / aggravation, I went through each area trying to
    learn how to get past it.  Finally, I checkmarked 3x "Don't Show Me This Again" 
    Then I established a default printer thereby forcing Adobe to retain print preferences
    instead of  defaulting to "Any Printer" and losing custom settings
    STEPS I TOOK (you may know of something faster, easier?)
    CTRL P  or  File, Print to receive standard print dialogue
    Within "Printer:"  use drop down to select  "PRINT & FAX Preferences...."
    Note: You can set print & fax preferences thru System Preferences, but for
    now we're here
    Select the printer you will normally use and set up a default printer (for Adobe)
    If the Lock at bottom left is closed it will require the system admin ID and PWD
    to unlock/lock in order to make changes :-)
    Once finished close this (top left)
    You will be returned to this panel
    To the right of the "Printer:" drop down is the arrow that expands your options,
    make sure it is aiming UP
    Middle of screen is "Layout"  Select the drop down and select "Two-Sided Printing"
    Look at the next screen image posted below and you will see there's more steps to
    follow for two sided printing
    Check mark "Print Both Sides"
    By Re-Opening the Drop down now showing "Two-Side Printing", you can of
    course adjust other items while here
    Paper Type/Quality allows you to select items such as print quality, color settings
    Select "Print" (bottom right of screen) to return to Adobe Reader Print Page
    Save time by opening the "Presets:" dropdown and save this as a custom print setup name
       i.e.  grayscale_DblSided, Color_DblSided...
    Finally, Check Mark  "Reverse Pages" to print Back to Front and help Adobe
    not to print a single sided first page and double sided pages for the others... Nice!
    It's time to press "OK" and hover over the printer to ensure Adobe didn't send
    instructions to print your 100 single side pages despite all best efforts
    Since going through this rigamarole I have not had to reset it every time

  • Having nav buttons outside print area in adobe reader

    I am building a parts manual and want my nav buttons off to the side of the 8.5"x11" document in sidebars. Easy to accomplish in Indesign but when exported to pdf , the print feature in Adobe reader prints the total width of the document. I want the customer when select print to just print the center frame (no nav buttons)and not have to set up crops etc for printing. Ive seen parts manuals like this and am having a hard time accomplishing this myself. Any help would be appreciated.
    Here is link to an example of this pdf

    Just set their visibility to "Visible, but doesn't print".

    I have managed to restore my original Adobe Reader by restoring my system to its condition a couple of weeks back before the problem occurred. (My problem occurred when I tried to update the Adobe Reader.)

  • Print quality from Android Adobe Reader

    Hello
    Last night I decided to print a PDF attachment from my phone using Cloud Print. I have an Epson ink jet printer connected to my Windows 7 computer. When I tried, I was disappointed to find that the document printed in draft mode and was not of sufficient quality to use so ended up printing from the Windows Adobe Reader. If I were to print an email from Gmail on my phone, I do not have this problem. Draft mode is not the default setting for my printer driver. Is there any way to set the print quality for the Android Adobe Reader or for it to use the default setting for the printer?
    Thank you.
