Printing page selection

My Apple Macbook Pro's (Intel) 'Print Page' does not allow me to select non-successive pages for printing on my Brother printers, whereas my Dell PC allows it. Brother says to contact Apple. How do I get the right Presets or Apple software or PPD?

Thanks to Bernd Alheit and GKaiseril !
The docu for Version 11 is:

In the new docu for Version 11 I found the parameter which I looked for:
With PrintParams::printRange it is possible to print any selection of pages just in one print job. Multiple printing of a special pages is possible too.

Adobe JavaScript printing page selection

Hello,
1) I succeeded printing documents using JavaScript with pp.firstPage and pp.lastPage. Now I would like to print several single pages (e.g. pages 4, 7, 10) within a single print job.
If I make several print jobs, the paper is ejected after each job. This should not happen, as I want to print in duplex mode.
Does anyone know, how to do this?
2) In the internet I could only find the JavaScript documentation for Adobe Version 6: https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/Acro6JS1.pdf
Is there any newer version?
BTW: I am using the free version of Adobe which does not support all features.
Thanks for your help!

Adobe X Printing page ranges in pdf's with multiple sections

I'm trying to print a page range in a document that is divided into sections that start over with page 1 or page i, and using an absolute page range doesn't work. For example, the document has an initial cover page up to the Contents page numbered i - vi, then the Contents section is numbered i - iv, then the Figures section is numbered 1 - 2, then the Chapter 1 section is numbered 1 - 6, Chapter 2 is 1 - 14, etc.
In Adobe X, the default toolbar with the print, mail icons, then the up and down arrows, is followed by a box with the "page number" in it followed by a page range in (); for ex., the box has '1' in it and the range shows (15 of 94). If I was viewing the title page, the box would have 'i' in it followed by (1 of 94), etc.
When I try to print, the dialog menu shows the "Print Range" of "All", "Current Page", and "Pages". If I select "Pages" and enter the absolute number from the range in () like (15 of 94), and I want to print absolute page 15-35, and I enter that in the "Pages" box as 15-35, what I get is a section further in the document that I don't want at all, and not the desired page range. In fact, since the sections all restart the page numbering, I can't even find the starting page because the print function is totally confused about what page I mean.
In previous Acrobat versions, I had no trouble using the absolute page range since that is obviously required to get the desired range; i.e., Acrobat can't know what section I want, so for ex. putting page 1-10 can mean any section with 10 pages. I don't know how to use a page range for sections, like 2.1 - 2.4 or 2-1 to 2-4 because the Page range box doesn't recognize that. And again, the absolute page ranges don't work either.
The only way to print this document is to select the "All" button. If the doc is 1000 pages long, I don't want to waste all that paper!! Please help!

You can use the thumbnails pane and print pages selected within the pane.
Have you tried other strings like:
1 - 6 , 1 - 13

How to print a selection of pages from a 3000 page PDF without having to scroll two wheels! Also is there a way to set printer options for just black and white? Seems like there is a lot missing here?

I have been using this for school work as much as possible and have come across a problem. With my lack of knowledge for apple it seems as though I can't navigate myself to a easy answer. The problem hits when I am printing pages off of a large document, and I don't want to print the entire document in color but I have no way "that I can find" for a black and white print option...
----- also a larger issue, when printing I need to select 1 page or even 20 pages... The time it takes to use a scroll wheel and the fact if you try and scroll fast sometimes you click off the screen then you have to start scrolling all over again... It seems like you would beagle to input from say page 1224 to 1236.... Instead I have a scroll a wheel? Just doesn't make sense...?
Can someone please help solve this for me!

Yes, that fixed it, thanks! I had no idea they clashed like that. I ruthlessly purged all other tables of contents, and then used Layout > Table of Contents to create a new one, and it worked.
It made more sense after seeing in this thread that table of contents styles are more like presets or entities than styles.

Document could not be printed - no pages selected to print

I am running into this well-known issue with several documents, but unfortunately none of the fixes I have come across have worked. Some background:
-Using Windows 7 Pro
-Happening with both Adobe Reader XI and Acrobat X, clean installs. and happening on multiple computers, with multiple printers, with multiple domain users.
-Have tried repairing both installations, no success.
-Have tried disabling protected view, changing size of the fit, letting printer determine colors, printing in greyscale, changing setting for "view documents in PDF/A mode" to "never."
-Print as image works, but quality is unacceptable.
-It seems to be isolated mainly to Xerox printers, as I have no issues printing to an HP printer. I am trying different models of Xeroxes with no success, however. I have reinstalled printer driver and verified updated driver for all, issue persists. Printer models are Xerox ColorQube 8700X and 9203
-The PDFs are from different sources, so I can't pinpoint it to one website. Documents contain various financial info, so I can't post here. Any help would be appreciated. I'm probably going to have to try a different pdf reader for these, but that is not ideal, since multiple people need to print these and are comfortable using Adobe software.

I was also receiving the message "The Document Could Not be Printed" I am on 10.6.4 with Acrobat 9.4.1. I did not get the second part of the message though "There were not pages selected to print". Anyway, I got mine to work by going to Preferences - Print & Fax. I selected my printer and clicked Options & Supplies. Under the driver tab I changed the "Print Using:" box to Generic PostScript Printer. I'm not sure if this is what you are supposed to do. I'm not an expert but it worked for me so I am going with it.

Why can't I print a PDF file? message says no pages selected to print

When I try to print a PDF file I get two messages 'This document could not be printed.' Then 'There were no pages selected to print.' How do I select a page to print? or is there something else?

What is your operating system? Reader version?

If I have a document that is 10 pages and I only want to print pages 2.4.6 how can i select just those. The selection button is grayed out

i want to print only selected pages not the whole document.. HELP

Firefox allows printing of a'' range of pages'', for example, page 2 to 5. But not a non-contiguous set of pages.
Firefox allows you to print a ''selection'', but by that Firefox means the part of the page you selected with the mouse or keyboard, so again, a continuous range.
If you don't want to print 3 times, I suggest using a PDF printer driver as an intermediary. Then you can print any individual pages you like using the much more full-featured print dialog in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.
If you do not have one, here are two free PDF printer drivers I have used:
* PrimoPDF - http://www.primopdf.com/
* PDF Creator - http://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator
If you are just printing for quick reference and don't mind a "trial edition" banner on your PDF, I really like this one due to its handy preview-before-save feature:
* pdfFactory - http://fineprint.com/pdf/

Printing a selection from a web page, word document etc.

It embarrasses me to say, I cannot find a way to print a selection--a paragraph for example--from a web page or a Word document. In Windows it's done with a few mouse clicks: file/print/selection. I'm sure there must be a simple way to do it in Leopard, but what is it?

While there is no "print selection" command, you can use one of the globally available services to open a new window in textedit containing your selection, then print it.
Select something and then go to Safari>Services>TextEdit>New Window Containing Selection
and a new textedit window will open with your selection pasted in. Now you can print it.
I suppose if you do this a lot, you could write a short applescript that'll do this, print it, and quit textedit, and then stick the script in the script menu. Just a thought.

HP Laserjet 1320 will not print ?selected pages

I have the HP Laserjet 1320 and when in a Word document and I want to print a selected page (i.e. page 2 of 4 only), under Pages on the Print Menu, I enter 2 or 2-2 and select print and it will not print! I can scroll down to place the pointer on page and tell it to print "current page" and it will print - why will it not print when I enter the page number I want to print.
Thanks

My printer would not print multiple copies. It would only print one page at a time.

Printer will no longer print PDF document--"no pages selected" although specific pages were selected?

Brother printer will no longer print PDF document--"no pages selected" although I did specify pages. Have reviewed and tried Adobe trouble shooting, not helpful. Cannot print page as image. Brother says to contact Adobe

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

"The Document Could Not be Printed" "There were no pages selected to print"

OSX 10.6.6
Acrobat Pro 9.4.1
I am getting this error when printed from certain PDF files. My best guess is it is a font conflict because if I change the font in the document and re-export the file the document prints fine. But changing the font (and it happens with multiple fonts) is not an option.
Most of my documents are very large (up to 1,500 pages) and I use an InDesign plug in to merge data to create my PDFs.
I can print the document out of InDesign CS3 without any problems. If I open the file in Apple's Preview it prints or if I log out and log back in under a different user it prints.
But when this documents are printing out of acrobat I get those errors. It won't print to any of my mupliple printers (USB or network).
Spent an hour on the phone with Adobe today and got no answers at all. They are telling me it a corrputed user issue. (that is only effected in acrobat when printing certain documents.... OK).
With all the messing around I have done I'm guessing it has something to do with certain fonts during the export of the PDF from InDesign.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. I have been fighting with this issue for a while now and today it is causing a major issue.
Just let me know if you need any additional information and thanks in advance for your help.

Acrobat won't print, no page selected

Since I upgraded to a new iMac with Mavericks, acrobat (updated to latest version, 10.1.9) won't print anything. I get an error message saying 'the document could not be printed' and then a second message saying 'no pages were selected'. I have tried selecting pages in different ways, and I've tried printing various different pdfs to both my printers (Brother HL2030 and Canon Pro9000). I have the latest drivers on these, which are printing other documents fine, so there's no problem with either the files or the printers.

First let me state that this is my solution on a Macintosh running 10.7.5 and Acrobat Pro X (with all the latest updates).
This problem started for me just this last weekend. I have been to every so-called solution that I could find via a Google search and NONE of these "solutions" even by the self-tagged "experts" work. PERIOD!
I decided to follow one suggestion to install Acrobat Pro 9. However, instead of uninstalling Acrobat Pro X first, I left it installed.
During the initial startup of Acrobat 9 after installation I was offered the option of installing an Extra feature called Adobe PDF Printer which allows me to "Create Adobe PDF files from any application by printing to Adobe PDF Printer". I opted in to that extra.
Once Acrobat Pro 9 had started I tested it using one of the PDF files that had failed to print with the dreaded "No pages selected......" error messages. THE FILE PRINTED AS EXPECTED!
I then decided I would uninstall Acrobat Pro X, but on a whim decided to try to print the same PDF file that had just printed using Acrobat Pro 9 one more time. IT PRINTED!
All I can figure out is that somehow selecting the option to have Acrobat Pro 9 install the option for allowing other applications to create a PDF repaired something within the Mac operating system. Just a guess.
Hope this helps someone.
