Printing Problem: Acrobat Reader XI is only printing booklet style.

I have hundreds of pdfs and when I opent them to print, it prints like a booklet. It is not happening with any other documents (from word, excel, google, etc) The print dialog box shows it printing 8.5 X 11 portrait, no scaling. I've checked every setting including the "advanced settings.' Any ideas?

I arrived here looking for a solution! And while reading your post the penny dropped that I didn't have a serious problem. I have a booklet of 112 pages and all I needed to do was re-order the pages as printed so that 1 is followed by a sheet with 2 on the under-face but same side and so on. The pages had printed back to front and needed flipping. But then I have a duplex printer and maybe that makes a difference. Is it to do with your manual duplexing and the order that the second pass is presented to the printer. As my duplex sheets effectively needed flipping over each one I'm wondering if you can solve your problem with a little experimentation and re-ordering before your second pass.

Acrobat Reader 5.1 only prints 12 of 33 pages

Hi,
I am using OS 9.1, 576MB RAM, HP LazerJet w/18MB builtin.
I can only print the first 12 pages from a 33 page PDF file.
I do not use desktop printer monitor or anything that shows on the desktop.
I do not use background printing.
I only have 53 fonts active in "System Folder" "Fonts".
Any Help Out There?
TIA
Robert

Hi, Robert. Which LaserJet model are you using, and what printer driver are you selecting in the left panel of the Chooser — LaserWriter 8, AdobePS, or an HP printer driver?
If it's an HP driver, I recommend trashing it. HP has never been able to produce a reliable Mac PostScript printer driver in 15 years of trying, despite Adobe's having done 90% of the work for them. Use LaserWriter 8 or download AdobePS 8.8 instead of using HP's driver. I've used Adobe's drivers (on which Apple's and HP's drivers have always been based) for many years with my old HP LaserJet 4M, always with good results.
Next, locate the PrintMonitor application that is associated with your driver — it's probably in your Extensions folder. Select the PrintMonitor icon and Get Info on it. Click the Memory tab in the Get Info window and quadruple the Preferred figure that is displayed. Close the window and test printing again. Post back with results.

Printing Problems after Reader 10 install

Recently deployed Reader 10 to about 300 workstations using Group Policy. Several machines are no longer able to print to some of the network printers. These printers are HP printers using the Universal Print Driver. When trying to print we get an error and the Adobe Reader application crashes. It will however print to other network printers that are using an older device specific driver, printing to the same print device. Have downloaded the latest HP driver, but it has not helped the situation. The printing worked fine with Reader 8 and Reader 9.   Anyone with an Idea?

Sorry only know Windows: Edit (menu)>Preferences>General>Application Startup>Enable Protected Mode at startup.

Printing freezes Acrobat Reader various versions

I have one (luckily, just one) client who has a problem printing from Acrobat Reader. So far, this problem has been with v6.x, v7.x, and v9.x (uninstalled 6.x, installed and uninstalled 7.x, and then installed 9.x, trying to solve this issue, with no changes).
For the longest time, there was NO problem printing PDF files. Then, she couldn't print at all, it would bring up an error message. I read where setting/changing the default printer would solve this, and it did -- to a point.
Now, when she tries to print (FILE | PRINT -- read below as to why this is necessary), it will print, but the printer dialog box takes a LONG time to come up (3-5 minutes) and then the drop down menu to select a printer takes a long time to come up, as well.
She travels between various offices, which is why she must use FILE | PRINT -- she needs to choose the printer(s) that are available to her when she logs into the network. There are HP, Cannon, Lexmark, and other printers at these various locations.
The problem *only* happens in Acrobat Reader. All of the other applications print fine.
Today, I discovered something interesting by accident. If she is *disconnected* from a network, and starts a print job (again, FILE | PRINT), the printer dialog box opens almost immediately, as does the printer selection drop-down menu. She can then reconnect to the network, after selecting a printer, and then press OK (to print), at which time it does print just fine.
So, in a nutshell:
(1) It *only* happens when trying to print something from Acrobat Reader regardless of version.
(2) It is *only* slow to bring up the printer dialog box, and printer selection drop-down menu when connected to a network.
(3) It *will* eventually (say 3-5 minutes later) bring up the printer dialog box, and printer selection drop-down menu, and print, when connected to a network.
(4) She is using Windows XP (I didnt check on the service pack version, it is, for certain SP2 at least, although she may have allowed Windows Updates to upgrade it to SP3). Multiple printers are being used, from various vendors (HP, Lexmark, Canon, others) so it is extremely unlikely that it is a printer driver issue.
(5) There are others with identical laptops, Windows XP, and using the same printers and Acrobat Reader who also travel to the same offices and work in the same fashion as she, and they do not have this issue.
So, anyone out there smarter than me, any suggestions about how to resolve this?

Hi, I found this to work
open cmd
type the following and press enter after each command:
c:
cd\
del arc*.tmp /S
What the command does is that it deletes acrobat temp files that are stored on your pc, which slows down acrobat printing.
I found this info at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403914.html towards the bottom of the page
Hope it helps

Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2 Print Issues - Windows Crash Error (2 Sided)

Have recently had issueswith our upgrades from 10.1.1 to 10.1.2 in regards to the following:
When printing 2 sided on a Fuji Xerox Firefly C4400 Atheros, application crashes after printing first 4 pages.
Thus, have tried the patch fix that was recommended on cpsid_92870 however this has not fixed the problem.
Have also tried the solution with the duplexing but still same issue, Windows crashes.
Have also tried solution to remove Windows patch KB4332667 and still same issue.
Screen shots will be provided upon request with the errors.
Currently running:
Windows XP SP3
Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2
Printer Drivers are the latest and over 500 users on network. 485 are working on 10.1.1 which do not have this issue.
Is there any solution or 10.1.3 patch release that will address this issue?
Last Adobe user to work on this was Atul.

Sonal2890, thanks for your inquiry and I will try to provide as much information as possible.
1. What happens if inspite of using 'Print on both sides', you check Duplex setting from Properties dialog (As you do previously)?
      The Adobe Reader X Shuts down and is unable to print and displays a message stating it has incurred a problem. Please note, we are running IE7.
2. What happens if you print with any other application (Word/notepad)
     The documents print fine. IT is only when you print this particular document which is enabled in protected mode and double sided. Have tried the patch and the resolution of unticking the duplex methodology and the issue still persists.
     Crash Logs have already been submitted already. Have added the SEnd Error Report that was provided when the error occurs. The PDF stopped printing after page 6 of a 236 page document and provided the error above.

Acrobat 8.1.4 only prints 1 page when I select "all"

Hi all,
I'm hoping you can help me. Just spent 27 minutes on hold with Adobe tech support and gave up.
I have an iMac running OS 10.5.8 and had successfully used other versions of Acrobat. I bought a ScanSnap printer and it was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1.4. Installation seemed to go fine, but now when I try to print a multi-page document, it only prints one page, even when I check "all" on the print menu.
Also, when I try to click on print prevue, it says "Prevue is not supported." That's new, too.
So far I'm not thinking this is such a great bargain, even for free! Can you help?
Thanks,
Kathy

Print preview is not supported any longer. I think it is due to the fact that both use pdf technology and there may be a conflict.
As to why it only prints one page rather than all, that is a hard one. You could try deleting the printer driver and re-installing the driver to see if that helps.

Printing from Acrobat Reader 9.1

I can not print from Acrobat Reader 9.1 to my HP printer connected wirelessly to my Mac. I can print fine from any other software on my Mac. Tips and suggestions are welcome!

I'm having the same issue. It all started after upgrading to 10.5.7 and Adobe Acrobat to 8.1.5.
I have an HP Photosmart C7280 and I am able to print via WiFi from all applications except Acrobat (version 8). However, Acrobat will print 1 page documents, but nothing longer.
At first I thought it was the 10.5.7 update. I saw in some other places that downloading and installing the combo update worked better for some folks. I did that, but still no joy.
I did the "Reset Printing System..." thing in system preferences and added the HP back. Still no joy.
I uninstalled and re-installed the HP software (drivers and all). Still no joy.
I uninstalled Acrobat and re-installed from CD so I was back to version 8.0. Still no joy.
I have not re-upgraded Acrobat to 8.1.5, but I don't have high hopes.
I wondering where the fix will come from. Hard to say that the problem is exclusively Adobe... made two changes to my system (OS upgrade and Acrobat upgrade). I have seen folks that dropped back to 10.5.6 and the problem persisted for them. I don't want to go back to 10.5.6 as I don't have that kind of time.
Printing from Preview for now.

Printing in Acrobat Reader X gives an extra unwanted line in the bottom margin

Printing in Acrobat Reader X gives an extra unwanted line in the bottom margin. This margin should normally be blank. The line pattern follows the pattern of the print inside the margins. How can I print without this extra line?. The problem does not occur with the same documents opened in Acrobat Reader 9.4.

I had the same problem when I created my pdf for my Realtor flyer using microsoft publisher. I was able to get rid of the unwated line by using a png file in the publisher before generating the pdf.

PDFs not printing from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8

PDF don't print from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8. The same PDFs print from Preview. I've tried many PDF from various sources (over a dozen including those created on my Mac) in every case they print fro Preview and not from Reader.
I'm currently on OS 10.4.7 but This has been an issue for some time and I believe was the case with Reader 7.0.7.

FIXED!
Priner Setup Utility/Reset Printing System
Then added priner again.
Interesting that the only issue was printing from Acrobat Reader and that this fixed it. Probably deleted and "rewrote" whatever file was at issue.

Printing problem with 8.0. videos printing on paper

I have used acrobat 6.0 for years, and have made many forms for my customers. When I made these forms with 6.0 I put videos on the forms to explain how to use the forms then when they print them the videos are not printed. However now that I have purchased acrobat 8.0 these forms are printing the videos on the paper. I do not know why this was not available on 8.0 as it was on 6.0. Why was this not continued from 6.0 to 8.0. Is there a hot fix or something that can solve this problem for me? Has anyone else came across this problem? any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

Thanks for your response. I may not have emphasized in my initial outline that all my other programs print fine on the Epson 7890; only printing from Photoshop is problematic. Do you still think it is an Epson problem?

How can I get my printer to print in color? I can only print black and white

HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z-------windowsxp My printer will not print anything in color. How can Iget my printer to print in color? I can only print in black and white. It is a new Printer and we just installed it 2 wks ago.

I am not sure I understand ''it still will not print. ''
If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
'''Right''': 12.7
'''Top''': 12.7
'''Left''': 12.7
'''Bottom''': 12.7
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

Problem with printing from Acrobat Reader XI

SInce I installed Acrobat Reader XI I have got problems with printing out pages. The text starts a bit down (2 cm) on the paper, resulting that the last part of the text on the page will be missing. And the missing part does not follow on page 2, it just don´t comes out!
It doesn´t matter what settings i click in on the print setting page in Acrobat Reader, it always gets the same result.
Does anyone know what can be the problem?

No files appeared in C:\Users\Pavilion\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings but they did appear in Distiller.
I tried to copied them from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Settings, but found they were already there. I copied them by adding -COPY before .joboptions in the name. Now they appeared in Printing Preferences with the -COPY added.
I tested a print from Word (using File / Print), but was not prompted for the filename or location. I checked my entire system and couldn't find the PDF file anywhere. I tried changing the Port to Desktop\*.pdf using Printer Properties, but that didn't work either.
I was able to successfully use the Acrobat menu item in Word & Excel to create a PDF but it automatically created the file on the Desktop without an option to change the filename.
After several days and hours, I gave up and installed Acrobat X on the W7 computer. I can still use Acrobat XI on the W8 computer. So be it!
Thanks anyway for your attempts to help.

Booklet printing problems with Reader XI (version 11.0.06)

I created an 80 page 5.5" x 8.5" booklet using Word 2011 running under OSX 10.9.2 on a new 27" iMac. I then "printed" it to a PDF file. I then opened the PDF file in Reader XI and attempted to print it out using the "booklet" option as described at
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/print-booklets-acrobat-reader.html#main1_Reader_and_Acro bat_X .
I planned to manually duplex the booklet booklet since my HP Color Laserjet CP1518ni printer does not have automatic duplexing. The first sign that something was wrong came when I selected "Back side only" from the Booklet Subset pop-up menu. The numbers in the Sheets from boxes showed "Sheets from 1 to 10" when I obviously needed 20 sheets to print the booklet. Repeated attempts to manually change it to "Sheets from 1 to 20" failed. Each time I changed "10" to "20", it would flip back to "10" when I clicked the "Print" button.
I set the Booklet Subset to print only the even pages and checked the "Reverse" box as I have done to successfuly print thousands of manually duplexed pages before.
The printer only printed ten sheets. The first sheet (what should be the booklet's centerfold) had page 40 on the left side as it should, but 42 on the right (it should have been 41). The last of the ten sheets printed had page 4 on the left side (instead of the expected 2) and 78 on the right side (instead of the expected 79). Even though these were obviously messed up, I went on to print the front side of these sheets, selecting "normal". It printed Page 1 on the right side as expected, but printed page 79 (instead of the correct page 80) on the left.
Folding the ten sheets into a booklet revealed the really bizarre nature of the printing snafu. Page 1 was, as expected, on the front. Turning the first page open revealed pages 4 and 5. Turning the second page revealed Pabes 8 (left) and 9 (right). This pattern continued, printing two pages, then skipping two pages, right into the centerfold pages 40 (left) and 42 (right). The first page turn after the centerfold revealed pages 43 (left) and 46 (right). The next revealed 47 (left) and 50 (right).
I am at a complete loss of how to determine where the printing process went afoul. Printing the PDF file normally (one page per sheet one-sided) resulted in all pages being printed normally.
The really frustrating part of this entire experience is that I could find no place to report this "bug" to Adobe. If anyone can help me solve this printing dilemma, or put me in touch with someone at Adobe who could help, it would be greatly appreciated.
The booklet is due at the printer's tomorrow and the inability to print a proof is a real pain. Hope the printer can print this file as a booklet. I would be happy to send this file (125 Mb) to anyone who might help.

I arrived here looking for a solution! And while reading your post the penny dropped that I didn't have a serious problem. I have a booklet of 112 pages and all I needed to do was re-order the pages as printed so that 1 is followed by a sheet with 2 on the under-face but same side and so on.
