Printing long web page to Adobe Acrobat (or Primo PDF) fails and hangs at 48%

I'm using Firefox 18.0.1 and was viewing an html web page report that is essentially a large table. When printed, it is 28 pages. I printed to the Adobe PDF driver (I'm using CS6 so this is the latest Acrobat XI) it became stuck at 48% and, after waiting 30 minutes just for grins, I had to kill the browser. I tried again and it hang in the same place. I tried printing to my backup and good old standby, the Primo PDF printer driver and it had the same issue. I then launched IE9 and it printed without any problem so it points to Firefox.
I've worked around the issue, but wanted to get this in the discussion queue in the hope that it can pop on the radar and get fixed.
I am able to reproduce the issue at will, so let me know if there is any testing you need done.
Thanks!

Fallard,
No clue, (and sounds goofy to me)...
You might try downloading Printer Setup Repair from:

It's shareware, and might help...
Hope it helps a little!

When Printing a web page from Firefox. The fonts are timy and all spacing is incorrect.

Prior to beta 4.12, the pages printed correctly. Now, the fonts are small and the text spacing is incorrect. All text has at least one extra space between the letters.
This happens on ALL sites when printing a web page.
I tried printing the same page in Internet Explorer and it prints correctly.

The pull down menu or icon for printing does not respond. The only way I can print a web page is by right clicking with the mouse and selecting print? Your comments please

When I try to print a web page by selecting the print icon or by the pull down menu -print, nothing happens. It does not respond. I have to right mouse click and then select print, which then works. Why is this happening

Try using the Add Bookmark Here ² extension. You can drag the Add Bookmark window to the size you want to see. <br />

Batch convert a series of web pages w/ Adobe Acrobat Pro XI?

Is there the capability using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to batch convert a series of web pages (e.g., feed to Acrobat a list of URL's to process, et al)?
Any and all replies would be most welcome and appreciated.

Dude, (Why do I feel like I'm in the movie "The Big Lebowski"? [ret.])
It depends on what you are feeding Acrobat and how you are feeding Acrobat.
If it's a bunch of HTML files then you can create an Action to convert the contents of a folder.
If it's just URLs then it's a little more complicated. You might need to create a JavaScript to accept all of the URLs individually and then process them in order to the Create PDF from Web Page feature.
Wait for more responses though because there are a lot of people who have probably done this already and have better ideas than the ones I propose.

How can I print a web page to a hard copy with Adobe?

How can I print a web page to a hard copy with Adobe? When I print this particular page in the usual way it prints only the text of that page, not the photo that's also part of that page.

I have Adobe SendNow, but I can buy another Adobe product if it will solve my web page printing problem.

Try a battery pull, wait a couple of minutes and pop it back in..

I can no longer get firefox to print a web page. I am using the print command in the drop down 'file' menu

HAVING A PROBLEM WHEN I PRINT A WEB PAGE WHICH IS MORE THAT ONE PAGE LONG. ONLY THE FIRST PAGE PRINTS TO SCALE...THE REMAINING PAGES PRINT OFF THE PAGE????HELP-IT IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH FIREFOX BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH SAFARI??

Thank you for the response. I tried to fix the problem with some of the suggestions on that page, but none seem to work. I believe that is the only website that I'm having that problem on. I got to fooling with it a bit more and when I highlight the whole page and select to print the selected area, it actually prints the whole page then, but it won't do it as a default. I guess I can just do it like that from now on, but I thought there would be something in the settings that I could have changed. Thanks again for the help.

Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,
Lox

I cannot print oversized, poster, document in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.10). The "POSTER" button is gray'ed out.

I cannot print oversized, poster, document in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.10). The "POSTER" button is gray'ed out.

Point 1: try turning on "Show large images" in your preferences. In Acrobat for Windows, it's under the Page Display preferences. I'm not sure about OS X.

I cannot print a web page when in Firefox but it does print other info.

When I try to print a web page in Firefox I get multiple pages of what looks like programing information. It starts with a line that looks like this %!PS-Adobe-3.0. The next line gives the title of the website and then the creator and then date and goes on and on. It then changes to a line that reads %%BeginProlog and then %% BeginResource: file Pscript_WinNT_ErrorHandler 5.0 0 followed by multiple pages of junk. I went to another browser and was able to print a web page. Is there a setting that needs changed in FireFox or is something blocking the correct printout.

Safari breaks lines after every word when printing some web pages

Most pages print fine, but there are a few where Safari totally mangles the formatting when trying to print.
For example, this page on Microsoft's support website. It looks fine in Safari, but when I try and print it, all the content gets pushed to the left edge of the page, with each word appearing on a new line. This causes the content to take up 15 pages!
I've tested this in Safari 7.1 in Mavericks, and Safari 8.0 in Yosemite. The results are identical in both versions.
The same web page prints normally from Chrome or Firefox, and is only 3 pages long when printed.
Note: Microsoft's website isn't the only place I've seen Safari do this, but it's the only example I have right now.

This happens on three different Macs. Those Macs have no problem printing from other apps, including other browsers.
Can you please try printing that web page on your Mac (with Safari), and letting me know what happens?
Here's a link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2360509
Just load that page, then try printing it.
Note: You don't even need to actually print it. Just hit ⌘-P, and you'll see the bad formatting in the Print dialog box.

I only get a blank page when trying to print a web page

I have looked up how to print a web page and did exactly as shown on the screen (I did select my printer) but when I want to print a Web page I only get a blank page. I also cannot save as PDF in the Print Dialog Box because I get a blank page there too.
I have tried to disable all my add-ons and extensions and re-enabling them one by one and it did not change anything.
Although I did not specifically notice the exact date, I feel this has been happening since I have upgraded to Mac OS 10.6.4

Wow! After several different attempts to solve my printing problems , the one that worked was the suggestion that I hit "Reset Firefox" button on the Troubleshooting Information page. Once I did that and got back in I was able to print pages correctly. Thank you for all your help and patience.

Firefox won't allow me to print a Web Page. The only option I am given is to Save the Web Page as a PDF File .

In FF 16.0.1 when I try to print a web page I get dialog box to save it as PDF. There is no other choice in the ‘save as type’ box. I do not want to save it; I just want to print it. This happens whether I use ‘file/print’ or the print button on FF. I use Win XP and HP all in one C7280 and no changes have been made recently to either. I looked for FF add- on to disable called ‘hp smart web printer’ that I read about in a closed FF support thread about this same problem but it is not on plug-in or add-on list. I also read in another closed thread on this issue to remove SWP using add/remove programs but its not listed. I believe this problem began when FF upgraded itself to 16.0.1 recently. The problem does not exist when I use I.E. or Chrome so logically it must be a FF issue. Its driving me crazy and I cannot find a solution that works anywhere. HELP please.

Old Fox....thanks so much. I do not have the HP smart web printing in my add ons or plug ins. I used SWP in my problem posting and should have spelled out HP smart web printing..sorry.
The NAME of the printer showed 'document converter'. WELL DUH! That was the problem all along. I have no idea how it got changed but I won't dwell on it. I have never had to look at those 'choices' because I don't need to change anything when I print but its never too late to learn.
I am so happy and thanks again

When printing a web page, I only get blank pages

I have a new iMac with MAC OS 10.4.11. I connected an HP psc 2175xi all-in-one printer, and when I try to print a web page from Safari, I only get a very small portion of the header and all other pages are blank. When looking at the Print Preview, every thing looks like it has printed fine, but when it is sent to the printer only blank pages come out. I am able to print from other applications fine. It seems to be related to printing web pages only, because I have also tried to print using Firefox, but the same problem occurs. Can anyone please help?
Thanks.

I did not have the HP printer software for Mac OSX installed properly. Once installed the problem went away.
