Can not longer print pdf from Acrobat Reader

All of a sudden I can no longer print pdf files to my printer. It is shared by all the computers in our household and any time I try to print from any of the computers now, instead of printing it creates a prn file instead. I can find no option in the printer properties where selecting or deselecting something to enable or disable printing to files. All the systems are either MS Vista or Windows 7. Though there are commands that allow sending a prn to a network printer, they require a named print server, which we don’t have on our peer-to-peer network.
It is interesting that I can create a pdf file in Photoshop on my system and it will print from Photoshop. I can also print the “problematic” documents for Photoshop, which I only have on one system. But anything created in Acrobat will not print natively from Acrobat reader.

In the Print dialog click on Advanced, then uncheck Print to File.

Cannot print PDF from Acrobat Reader to Canon printer?

Printing was working before but now nothing happens, even not showing up in printer que. From Word, Execl or web page printing is working fine. Reinstalling Acrobat and printer drivers didn't fix it.

Hi ronquaedvlieg,
What is the current version of Reader installed on your machine?
Have you tried to install the latest version, also have you tried to check latest updated driver for your printer.
What is the problem you are facing while trying to print using Reader, are you getting any error. Attach screen shot of the error if any.
Also i moving this discussion under Reader forums.

PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet. The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17. I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI. I did double check for updates on both products and installed them. Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
1) Click ADVANCED
2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
3) Set DPI to 300
4) Click OK
5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

Can't print via Adobe acrobat reader!

I can not print via Adobe Acrobat reader even though all other application work well with the printer and there is no hardware or connection problem involved.
the printer is: HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fn Color Multifunction Printer
The same thing happened to my outlook but I fixed it by reinstalling the printer software,
I think reinstallation is not the way of fixing it, does anyone have the same problem or can help me?

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

Cannot Print PDF Files on Reader 9.4.0!

I recently updated the drivers on my Brother MFC-420CN printer to the Vista drivers so I could scan multiple pages at once, however, now I can no longer print PDF files!!!!
I tried to roll-back to the old drivers and it still doesn't work, I can print other types of files so it makes me believe that this is an Adobe Reader issue and not a system issue.
In addition, I tried the following steps:
1. Under advanced settings I chose "Print as Image" - did NOT work
2. I uninstalled Reader and re-installed - did NOT work
Here is my setup:
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, 32-bit
Model: HP Pavilion dv2700
Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 1.90GHz(I am aware this is a 64bit processor with a 32-bit OS)
Printer: Brother MFC-420CN
Driver Version: 6.0.6000.16386(This is the previous driver that I rolled back to which used to print PDF files)
Adobe Reader v9.4.0
Any advice on how to get this working again would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Had you managed to print the same files, or are you talking about files you hadn't attempted to print? Are these PDF files forms that you are trying to fill and print in Reader?

Limiting shown buttons when opening 3D PDF in acrobat reader

Hi guys.
I want to create a 3D PDF to be viewed on the web. I don't think that all buttons(rotate, spin, pan, zoom, etc.) in the 3D toolbar are necessary so I would like to choose which buttons will be shown when the user click where it says
"Click to Activate 3D"
Is there a way t do this? If so, is there a way to lock those so the user cannot activate them?
Thank you.

Hello,
There is an option to manage display of the 3D toolbar whichi only available at the creation of the 3D PDF file (within Acrobat Pro Extended only..):
Go to Edit/Preferences
Select a 3D format then press Edit Settings
Under 3D Panel there is a check box called "Show 3D toolbar by Default" Unselect this option then press OK.
Convert a 3d file to PDFthen save the file
Open the PDF within Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Pro Extended, the 3D toolbar will not be displayed after activating the 3D content..
Hope this can be helpful
Best Regards

FF 19 for Mac. changed preferences to open PDFs with Acrobat Reader. Now when I click on a pdf link, an about:blank FF window opens (pdf then opens)

The change in preferences opens the pdf appropriately with Acrobat Reader, as desired, but before it does, FF opens a brand new blank window (about:blank). How can that action be stopped?

Yes, I mean the eternal application.
Ctrl-click does open the dialog, but that does not cause new/blank FF window to show up.....however shift-click opens the new/blank window, then opens another FF window with a "New Tab" heading, then opens the pdf with Acrobat Reader.....
If open the dialog and select "open in new tab" (open in Acrobat Reader is not an option), a new tab is opened, and the the pdf come up in Reader (without opening a new FF window). In earlier FF, it just opened directly in Reader (or acrobat) without opening a new tab or window.
Thanks

Hi Rodney
Welcome to Apple Discussions
This sounds like one of those "oddities", contributed to by a few sources.
I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
Wondering if you disabled the Safari Cache would the refresh function work correctly? As a test you can disable the Safari Cache by Emptying the Cache first via the Safari menu, then Quit Safari. Now go to the Finder>Your User Library>Caches>Safari. Single click on the Safari folder, then Apple Key + I to open Info panel. There, check the "locked" box. This prevents further additions to the cache. The downside, you lose your ability to upload images etc. within Safari (my cache is disabled, so I use Firefox for the uploads).
Then restart Safari. Try the PDF from within Safari.

How put some PDFs in Acrobat Reader on iPad ? On the Adobe Cloud ?

How put some PDFs in Acrobat Reader on iPad ? On the Adobe Cloud ?
Thanks !!

pierreswaggy,
If you have a PDF document opened in some other app on your iPad/iPhone, you can use the "Open In" feature to open it in Adobe Reader for iOS.
For iPad, see How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 or 8 version)
For iPhone, see How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 or 8 version)
If you have PDF documents on your Mac or Windows desktop/notebook computer, you can use Acrobat.com (cloud storage) to share them with your computer(s) and mobile device(s).
On your Mac/Windows computer
Open a web browser.
Go to Acrobat.com (https://cloud.acrobat.com).
Sign in with your Adobe ID.
Upload your files to Acrobat.com.
You can also use the desktop version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open a PDF document from Acrobat.com or save to Acrobat.com. Please check the File menu or the toolbar for the options.
On your iPad/iPhone
Launch Adobe Reader for iOS.
Go to the Reader home screen.
Tap My Account (in the lower left corner).
Sign in with your Adobe ID.
Tap Acrobat.com in the left pane to see the files on Acrobat.com in Reader.
If you have a lot of large PDF documents on your computer, it would be easier and faster to transfer them to your iPad/iPhone at once (instead of one document at a time) using iTunes.
See How to transfer PDF documents from your computer to your iPad/iPhone.
The documents transferred to your iPad/iPhone using iTunes will appear in the Documents section. Because they are stored locally on your iPad/iPhone. Please note that any locally stored documents will be erased by iOS, if you uninstall (instead of update) the Reader app.
Please let us know if you have additional questions or any problems.

Close both the PDF and Acrobat Reader from Javascript

Hello,
I'm working on a C++ project which at some point open a PDF (using the ShellExecute function).
I coded some javascript in this PDF with Life Cycle Designer to print its content and finally close it automatically using event.target.closeDoc().
The problem is that just the PDF is closed but not Acrobat Reader.
I need Reader to be also terminated, to catch the end of process signal in my C++ program and to continu the execution.
Do have any idea if there is a javascript function to close Reader?
Thank you very much!

Hi John,
After a lot of research and tests, I didn't find the solution. You can't close Acrobat Reader from a pdf. (for security reasons; It's like you are not allowed to closed a browser with a javascript function).
Finally we moved to the PDF library C++ SDK, so Reader is no more opening, but we had to pay for that...

Right clicking PDF files and printing those with Acrobat Reader X

We have a Windows XP computer with Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Acorbat Reader X.
Now when we open PDF files they open with Acrobat Reader X wich is fine.
But when we try selecting PDF files and right click Print them they print with Acrobat 7 Professional.
The problem is with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 it doesn't print all the files we selected.
We select 50 files and only about 10 are printed and those are always random.
So is there anyway to enable the print option to print with Acrobat Reader X ?

This is not a desirable situation. Adobe recommends against having Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, unless they're both version X, exactly because it can cause this kind of conflicts.

[JS CS3 Win] Export to PDF then auto-print PDF from Acrobat

Hello!
I am working on the script that is exporting pages to PDF, and would like to automatically send exported PDF to print from Acrobat.
I get the scripting part for exporting to PDF, and it's working very well, but I have trouble on the part of the script that tells Acrobat to open the PDF and send it to printer. Script is run from InDesign, so I thought this is right forum to ask.
The following part of the script is working OK on one computer, but on other two computers with similar configuration (CS3. Windows, Acrobat 8) it doesn't work at all and I can't figure out where is the problem:
var printFile = "/c/temp/test.pdf";
var remoteScript = "printFile = decodeURI('"+printFile+"');\n";
remoteScript += "var doc = app.openDoc({cPath: printFile});\n";
remoteScript += "var pp = doc.getPrintParams();\n";
remoteScript += "pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.shrink;\n";
remoteScript += "pp.NumCopies = 2;\n";
remoteScript += "pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.silent;\n";
remoteScript += "pp.printerName = '\\\\hrhqzgw23prn01\\\hr300019ps';\n";
remoteScript += "doc.print(pp);\n";
remoteScript += "doc.closeDoc(true);";
acrobat.executeScript(remoteScript);
I would appreciate any help. thank you.

Hi Mark,
Here is a sample script. It exports the active InDesign document to pdf file, using its base name, to the root of C drive. Then opens the exported file in Acrobat, prints it to the default printer and silently closes it.
Tested on InDesign 5.0.3, Acrobat 8.0.0, Windows XP SP3.
#target indesign
var myIndesignDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myBaseName = GetFileNameOnly(myIndesignDoc.name);
var myFile = new File( "/C/" + myBaseName + ".pdf" );
myIndesignDoc.exportFile( ExportFormat.pdfType, myFile, false );
var myScript = 'var myAcrobatDoc = app.openDoc( "/C/' + myBaseName + '.pdf" );\n';
myScript += 'myAcrobatDoc.print( {bUI: false, bSilent: true} );\n';
myScript += 'myAcrobatDoc.closeDoc( true );';
var bt = new BridgeTalk;
bt.target = "acrobat";
bt.body = myScript;
bt.send();
function GetFileNameOnly(myFileName) {
    var myString = "";
    var myResult = myFileName.lastIndexOf(".");
    if (myResult == -1) {
        myString = myFileName;
    else {
        myString = myFileName.substr(0, myResult);
    return myString;
Short explanation of the acrobat script:
1. Open the pdf file, just exported from InDesign
var myAcrobatDoc = app.openDoc( "/C/' + myBaseName + '.pdf" );
2. To print the document silently I use the doc object’s print method and set the following parameters:
bUI -- Determines whether to present a user interface to the user
bSilent -- Suppresses the Cancel dialog box while the document is printed
myAcrobatDoc.print( {bUI: false, bSilent: true} );
3. Close the document without notifying the user:
myAcrobatDoc.closeDoc( true );
Regards,
Kasyan
