Printing from Word to Adobe

I will try to print from word to the Adobe printer.  Sometimes it just freezes.  I cannot select another printer.  It’s like all my printers are gone.  Sometimes I get an “Unable to Connect” error and sometimes I get “1 document in printer queue”.  No matter what printer I choose after I try to go to Adobe, I cannot connect to a printer.  The only solution I have come up with is a clean reboot.

Do not use the PDF Maker, but print to the Adobe PDF printer and see if that meets you need. If you need some of the tools of PDF Maker, then turn on only those you need, not them all. Check to be sure that the graphics are indeed being downsampled and possibly go back and reduce the graphics you have in the WORD file so that you are at least not using millions of colors, 256 max. Also consider using straight B&W if color is not needed, or at least gray-scale.

  • Can't print from Word or Adobe...but everything else works just fine

    I get error message "opening raster file failed!"
    I have tried different printers and none work. Any suggestions?

    Could there be a newer or upgraded printer driver available for your
    print hardware, from the printer manufacturer's support site, or maybe
    via Apple Support downloads?
    The error message relates to other users with printer issues among
    other brands of printers; so it may be your print drivers are at fault.
    If the driver installer disc from the manufacturer has its own un-install
    process, use that to remove the existing driver before reinstalling an-
    other one. There also may be a print driver option from Gimp online.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Currently on Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.09

    Hi Tymuls,
    The first step I would try is delete the Adobe pdf printer and then repair Acrobat.
    Repairing Acrobat will bring back the pdf printer. We released an update yesterday i.e. 11.0.10. try updating to the latest version and check.
    Have you tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling it.
    You might also want to check the performance in a new admin user account.

  • I just paid for Adobe PDF pack and I think I am having problems installing. When I select to print from word, PDF is not an option. Help!

    Hi voltric2014,
    If you are on Windows, you can download and install the CreatePDF Desktop Printer, which would allow you to "print" to PDF from Word. You'll find a link to the installer on the CreatePDF page at https://cloud.acrobat.com. Here are the instructions for installing it: Using Adobe PDF Pack
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

  • I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off

    I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off. Can someone help?

    Ah! You're creating a PDF out of Word through Acrobat. The cutoff is most likely being affected by the printer chosen.
    When you call up the print dialogue in Word, check to see what printer is being used. If it's a typical inkjet printer, Acrobat is using the print margins of that printer as the cutoff area. Since most such printers can't print to the last inch and half or so of the paper, that's where it would be cut off.
    Near the bottom, under the preview of the document, click on the Page Setup button. It doesn't really matter which printer you select here. Under Paper Size, choose Manage Custom Sizes. Under the Non-Printable Area heading, choose the same printer and set the paper size you're using.
    Note that the unprintable margins for that printer will be filled in automatically. That's what's being cut off. Click the + button to create a modified version. The default will be "Untitled". Give it a new name if you want. Then set all of the margins to zero. Click OK. Now you'll have that as a choice under Paper Size. Doesn't matter that the actual printer can't use this setting since you're going to a PDF. Click OK to get back to the main Word print dialogue.
    Now choose Save as Adobe PDF. It should give you an exact duplicate of what's on screen in Word since as far as Acrobat is concerned, your "printer" has no unprintable margins.

  • I'm getting # marks when printing from Word to .pdf; what's going on?

    I recently reinstalled OS and all software, including Acrobat 9.  (No virus, just like to freshen things up on the system.)  Now, when I print from Word to a .pdf file, I get # marks inserted near header and footer.  This never happened before.  I unchecked the box (under properties) that says, "rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" and that made them go away, but I never had to mess with that previously.  Is that, in fact, the solotion, or is there something else going on that needs to be corrected?
    Thanks

    The check box was checked by default.  I made no revisions to the settings after reinstalling Adobe.
    As noted, this had never happened before.  The document was a letter with a letterhead graphic inserted (.png I believe).  When I pulled up various old letters I prepared using the letterhead template or even the blank letterhead template itself and printed to .pdf, the # marks showed up, whereas that had never happened previously.  Again, though, I made no changes to the default settings, so I'm wondering whether unchecking the check box really did take care of the problem or is just "masking" or "hiding" some other issue.

    I am printing to a HP Color LaserJet 2600n networked printer. I updated my drivers. The printer prints from Apple applications just fine (iWork, Safari, Preview, Mail) it prints from Word after the MS update was installed. Does not print from PowerPoint, Adobe Illustrator, Canvas version 8 or version X.
    PS The firmware update for the Printer won't run because it doesn't recognize OS X 10.5.x
    Other Problem. I can't stay connect to my Air Port extreme that has a Terra Byte connected to it. I regularly (every other day) have to reset it get connected. It used to work fine under Tiger Just an additional gripe

  • Cant print from Word/Excel/Outlook to Onenote (Office 2010)

    Have a weird problem. The problem started quite resently....for a lot of users in our domain!
    As the title says I cant print from word/outlook/... to onenote.....the only thing i can print from is IE10 to onenote (all other printers work ofc pdf/physical and so on). But if someone has IE8 I doesn't work for them either...
    I have the printer under "printers and fax" so its not "gone"....I have tried to repair Office 2010+reboot with no success. AND i have the XPS document Writer present/working aswell.
    When i try to print i can see the "printing-icon" in the lower wright corner, so something is obviously "happening"....but if i put my marker there it only says "0 printing jobs for %username%"....and yes i'm currently sitting
    in a domain, i'm admin at my computer to(Windows 7 Enterprise).
    I'v tried almost everything i could find i terms of repairing and checking the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Ski&cka till OneNote registry key (but that's for IE...and that's working correctly).
    Now here's the fun part....if i run winword.exe as administrator (rightclick+Run as administrator) it works!
    But that's not a solid workaround....
    Anyone knows how to fix this?  And as i'v explained...tried to repair several times....restarted services....check so XPS function is enabled and so on and so on...
    //Regards Andreas

    Hi,
    According to your description, I selected the situations which your said above.
    1. A lot of Domain account could print from is IE10 to Onenote, but IE 8 not.
    2.When Domain account print to Onenote, but it hanged.
    3. Word works well if runned as administrator.
    From above, I think the printer setting was Ok, beacuse you could print something by using Onenote to physical printer.
    As far as I know, OneNote stores a raster and a vector format for the printout images. It will first load the raster image (quicker to load) then quickly switch to vector image (hi res/sharper). The image you see for a split second is the raster
    image and then vector format fails to render. I believe you did not lose any data, just that it fails to render due to a configuration issue.
    OneNote uses .NET to render the vector format and I have seen cases where the installed .NET version or not installed .NET updates would be a problem. I recommend you first make sure you have
    Win7 SP1 and Office and .NET updates that show up in Windows Update are all installed and retry after that.
    And then,please check the link:http://www.onenote-tips.com/printfails.html, it may be help for you.
    If the issue exists, Please use process monitor to selcet the log when the issue occurs.

  • HP Envy 5530 Always offline when attempting to print from WORD 2013

    Hi,
    My ENVY 5530 always appears offline when I'm trying to print from WORD 2013. HP SCAN DOCTOR doesn't help. I always need first to RESTART MY LAPTOP while my PRINTER IS ON. AFTER RESTARTING that will be the time the printer will appear ONLINE in my WORD 2013.
    Being this case. I've noticed that I SHOULD FIRST TURN ON MY PRINTER before TURNING ON MY LAPTOP so my printer will appear ONLINE in word 2013. Using this workaround is inconvenient for me. And also when I am able to print from WORD 2013 IT DOESN'T PRINT ALL PAGES.. Please help. This printer should be helpful instead it was a disaster. Not really convenient.

    Thanks for letting me know the printer isn't going offline now Envy5530User. But you are still unable to print a multiple page document though.
    Can you print multiple page documents from other applications, or are you just having this issue with Office 365?
    If the issue is just with Office 365, it might be a setting in the application. I would contact Microsoft for further assistance.
    Please take a look at this document from my co-worker if you are having this issue with all applications.  Missing or partial print issues on Windows 8 / 8.1.
    If the issue persists, following the steps in this document for Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue.
    Please let me know the results.

  • While printing from word appl. printer after each line puts in number of page,

    while printing from word appl. printer after each line puts in number of page, so I do not print 3 pages but 5 instead. What to do?

  • My printer prints from word but nowhere else. not even directly from printer glass.

    I have had this printer, Officejet Pro 8600 (Model # SNPRC-1101-01)since December 2013 with no problems until recently.  Nothing has changed.  No new computers, printers, change in internet servers, etc.  I can print from word documents but the printer sounds like its working overtime looking for what to print.  No strange noices just a lot of carriage movement.  It will not print directly from the glass and the automatic feed on top of machine does not work.  The print cartridges are in correctly along with plenty of the correct size of HP paper (8.5x11).  I now get various messages, Error; Paper detected does not match paper size or type selected.  Make sure paper size is correct to continue the job; etc.  Sometimes when it does print wirelessly, the margins are off center, leaving about 2-4" blank  space from papers left edge. I have tried all the obvious fixes.  Shutting it down.  Unplugging and letting it rest for 10 plus minutes before reconnecting to power and restarting. Turning Router off for 10 minutes before turning it back on.  I even checked the settings and selected " restore to factory default settings." 
    Please explain in great detail what I need to do to fix my printer as I am not that tech savy.  
    Thank you in advance for any help and advice.

    Melisa-
    I wonder if you have a print job stuck in the print queue?  Double click the Home button and a row of recent applications should appear across the bottom of the screen.  Scroll across and look for the Print Queue.

  • Cannot print to Adobe PDF printer from Word after upgrading to Win 7 64bit

    Hi. After upgrading my operating system from Windows XP to Windows 7 64 bit, I can no longer print to the Adobe PDF printer (e.g. from Word). It just sits in the Adobe PDF printer queue saying "Error" without bringing up the "Save As" dialog box, and nothing happens. I am running Adobe Acrobat 8.0.0 (I've checked for updates but it says none are available). I have tried doing a repair installation following the instructions on this website (http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-file-adobepdf-dll-needed.html) but to no avail.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    I think it's time to upgrade. 64-bit systems weren't much in use at the time of Acrobat 8.0.

  • Can't Print from Freehand via Adobe Driver

    For no obvious reason I can no longer print from Freehand to pdf using the Adobe driver.
    I'm using Freehand 11.0.1 on Windows 7 (64-bit).  Our team has the same problem on Windows XP with Freehand 11.0.1, and Windows 7 (32-bit) with Freehand 11.0.2.  All of the above stopped working this week.  We still can print to pdf using Cute PDF.  But we really would like to get back to using Adobe which gives us more control over the output generated.
    Here is the content of Adobe log file:
    ---------- start of log file ----------------
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: --nostringval-- ]%%
    Stack:
    {AVec 256 array copy /f1 /|______Gen_Arial dup RF findfont def f1
    DoPatch}
    false
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    ----------- end of log file ----------------
    The problem does not occur using the same Adobe print driver with MS Word, PowerPoint, or Adobe Illustrator CS6.
    Has anyone else seen this or have a clue how to resolve it?
    Any help is very much appreciated!!!!!
    Thanks!
    John

    Did you update your Acrobat/Distiller application before it stopped working? My first thought was that something was changed last week to have this happen and to go back and recreate what that might have been. Sounds like an Adobe update.

  • How to make images searchable (OCR) when printing from Word 2007 to PDF with Acrobat 10

    Good Day, I have checked several forums and the help file, but I can't seem to get a straight answer on this issue. 
    Our office creates many documents in Microsoft Word 2007 that contain both typed text AND images.  For example, I have a document with a summary section and then a .jpg of an event from Facebook.  We usually Print the document using Adobe PDF and the resulting PDF is searchable with the Find tool.  The problem is that the images contain text and we want that to be searchable as well.  I found posts saying to take the PDF and Print it again as an image and then run the Recognize Text tool.  I have tried this and it does indeed work, although the resulting PDF is grainy looking (even at 600 dpi).
    What I would like to know is if there is a way to get the images to be searchable during the conversion from Word to PDF. I could educate my co-workers on how to do this and save the trouble of having to touch each document more than once. Also, I do not like the graininess of the image nor the extra steps involved to convert each document.  It will require a lot more hands on maintenance than I have time for.
    Any assistance or clues you can provide on this topic would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance, Paula C.
