Printing problem from Adobe Reader

This has got me completely stumped!
I have an 8 page document which is 7.5 MB in size.
I want to print this as an A5 double-sided booklet on A4 paper. So, it should print pages 1 and 8 on one side of A4, then print pages 2 and 7 on the other side of that sheet. Then it should print pages 3 and 6 on the next sheet, then pages 4 and 5 on the other side. Therefore two sheets of A4 paper, which I can then fold up into and 8 page A5 booklet.
This is something I have done numerous times in the past with other files.
When I try to print this file, the file size of the spooled document goes up to 210 MB and then the printed output is one sheet of A4, with all 8 pages on it, 4 pages per side!
The printer settings I have used (which I have used successfully for other booklets) are:-
Page Scaling is set to 'Booklet Printing'
Booklet Subset is set to 'Both Sides'
Sheets from is set to '1 to 2'
Binding is set to 'Left'
On the 'Finishing Tab' the properties selected are:-
'Print on both sides'
'Left binding'
'2 pages per sheet'.
'Portrait' orientation.
As I say, these settings have worked for lots of other documents.
Any ideas?

If I click on the print button under file, there is a preview window but nothing in it or it's all black.  I'm assuming the Preview application is somewhere else.

  • Print to xps-printer problem from Adobe Reader 11.0.06

    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Add XPS printer (using new local port and Microsoft XPS Document Writer v4)
    2. Open a pdf file in Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06.70)
    3. Choose command Print
    4. Choose XPS printer
    5. Click print
    Results: nothing happend
    Expected results: The xps file must have been created in this location
    p.s. In previous version (11.05) 'File save as' window appeared and I could save file as XPS format.

    We have the same problem !
    Tested this today with adobe reader 9.5.x , file is attached as  "filename.do.pdf"
    If we use adobe reader 11.0.x file is attached as "filename.do"
    If you use save file as , it does get the "pdf" extension automatically
    Solution appreciated !

  • Can't print PDFs from Adobe Reader 7!

    A few months ago I started having problems printing from Adobe Reader 7.
    I can view PDFs fine. I can also view PDFs online through Safari with the Adobe Reader plug in.
    What I've resorted to doing is using Preview to open PDFs that I've saved from Adobe Reader, and I can print fine through Preview.
    But that isn't quite a good fix for me!
    I can also print documents in other formats from plenty of other applications, so I know it's not a printer-talking-to-Mac issue.
    What happens is this - I have a PDF open in Adobe and send it to print. The printer comes up in the dock like its working. After an appropriate amount of time (the time one would expect the document to print), it disappears from the dock as though it is done printing. But no document ever prints. And the printer never displays that it is receiving information to print.
    Yesterday I spent a good chunk of time working on this problem to no avail.
    I ran "detect and repair" in Adobe Reader but no problems were found.
    I threw away Adobe Reader 7 (I think I was up to 7.0.7) and its preferences and other files and downloaded and installed Reader 6. I still couldn't print from Reader.
    I installed patches and updates incrementally to from Reader 6 to 7.0.5 by allowing Reader to update itself, but that didn't help.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. That didn't fix the problem.
    I tried printing the document through Reader as an "image," but it just crashed the Reader.
    I also downloaded and ran "Printer Setup Repair" (something I saw suggested in someone else's post about an Adobe print problem) but that didn't help matters either.
    I'm sort of stumped. I'll also post this to the Adobe forums, but from what I've seen the folks over there are not really Mac users.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Cheers!

    Ann,
    A few more thoughts or your dilemma...You might try looking at your system.log with the utility Console to see if it might give you a clue to the problem. (Not that I understand all the stuff in those logs, but when MS Word and Quark did not produce printouts, the Console log named the problem fonts.)
    The culprit may be the Adobe Reader PPD or Plugin. The path to those are HD/Library/Printers/PPDs/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF7.PPD and HD/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/AdobePDFPDE700.plugin. So if you try deleting Adobe Reader stuff again, be sure to delete those docs too, before re-installing.
    Note: I use Acorbat Pro 7 so I do not know if the filenames ADPDF7.PPD and AdobePDFPDE700.plugin are the same for Reader, but the paths might be helpful.
    Before uninstalling and re-installing both Adobe PhotoShop and Reader, I would suggest that you check the integrity of you hard drive. Overtime, stuff gets out of place and some applications are more sensitive than others. If there is something wrong on the hard drive, replacing the applications will still produce the same problem. Repairing disk is different from repairing permissions. As in my previous post, boot up your computer with your OS 10.3.x Install Disk 1 and launch the Disk Utility app from the CD. Click on Repair Disk...
    Hope this helps.

  • Partial printing only from Adobe Reader via Server 2008 print spooler

    Hi there,
    We've recently set up a new print server for our school. It's running Windows Server 2008 (not R2) 32 bit. We have 8 printers, which are all HP LaserJet P2035n.
    All printing works fine, except for PDF files from Adobe Reader. PDF files from Adobe Reader go through the print server with no visible errors, however they print strangely.
    Often there will be a blank page at the start. Generally they will not print all pages (e.g. 4/10 or so) and they will cause the printer to error.
    We do not get this problem using other PDF readers or with the Google Chrome PDF plugin.
    Could you please provide some troubleshooting steps? Based on elimination, it seems to be something to do with the way Adobe Reader communicates with either the print server or the printer, causing some type of malformed request.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

  • Cannot Print PDFs from Adobe Reader

    Hey gang-
    Just purchased a new Brother MFC-9420CN color laser printer. Works great- with one exception.
    I am unable to print any PDFs with it from Adobe Reader. But note this: The very same PDFs print fine using Preview! I initially discovered this problem using Adobe Reader 7.0.5, so I downloaded and installed the latest Adobe Reader 8.1. No Help. I also reinstalled the latest Brother Drivers- no help.
    I then went into Printer Setup Utility and did the Reset Printing System- re-added all Printers- but no help. I am running OS 10.4.9 on a G5 iMac.
    I've seen this mentioned elsewhere including here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2643378&#2643378
    Thoughts on how to fix this?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    When you select print from the menu bar a print
    window opens. Verify that the correct printer is
    selected. Adobe will over ride some defaults and put
    in itself. Let me know if this didn't work.
    Thanks Glynn, but the correct printer is indeed selected. This is a weird one!
    FWIW, here is my CUPS error log:

  • Duplex Printing Problem in Adobe Reader X (Mac)

    My normal printer setting is for duplex printing. However, Adobe Reader X will only print on one side of the paper.. This is on a MacPro under Mac OSX 10.6.6 and Adobe Reader X Version 10.0.1 printing to a Canon IP4500 inkjet printer. Other applications duplex fine.
    Any one else with this problem? Fixes or workarounds?

    After having the problem / aggravation, I went through each area trying to
    learn how to get past it.  Finally, I checkmarked 3x "Don't Show Me This Again" 
    Then I established a default printer thereby forcing Adobe to retain print preferences
    instead of  defaulting to "Any Printer" and losing custom settings
    STEPS I TOOK (you may know of something faster, easier?)
    CTRL P  or  File, Print to receive standard print dialogue
    Within "Printer:"  use drop down to select  "PRINT & FAX Preferences...."
    Note: You can set print & fax preferences thru System Preferences, but for
    now we're here
    Select the printer you will normally use and set up a default printer (for Adobe)
    If the Lock at bottom left is closed it will require the system admin ID and PWD
    to unlock/lock in order to make changes :-)
    Once finished close this (top left)
    You will be returned to this panel
    To the right of the "Printer:" drop down is the arrow that expands your options,
    make sure it is aiming UP
    Middle of screen is "Layout"  Select the drop down and select "Two-Sided Printing"
    Look at the next screen image posted below and you will see there's more steps to
    follow for two sided printing
    Check mark "Print Both Sides"
    By Re-Opening the Drop down now showing "Two-Side Printing", you can of
    course adjust other items while here
    Paper Type/Quality allows you to select items such as print quality, color settings
    Select "Print" (bottom right of screen) to return to Adobe Reader Print Page
    Save time by opening the "Presets:" dropdown and save this as a custom print setup name
       i.e.  grayscale_DblSided, Color_DblSided...
    Finally, Check Mark  "Reverse Pages" to print Back to Front and help Adobe
    not to print a single sided first page and double sided pages for the others... Nice!
    It's time to press "OK" and hover over the printer to ensure Adobe didn't send
    instructions to print your 100 single side pages despite all best efforts
    Since going through this rigamarole I have not had to reset it every time

  • Printing problem with Adobe Reader

    Hello,
    I have a user who has XP and is having issue printing from reader. She had 9.0 but uninstalled it and downloaded the most recent reader but she still cannot. Strange thing is that it affects her at both of her offices. We have roaming profiles and she has the same issue at both sites where as I can login and print a pdf just fine.
    What actually happens is that she opens the document just fine but if she clicks file>print reader will lock up. It will not show the print properties or even get far enough to send the print job and this only affects adobe reader and not any other program like work to print.
    It sounds like its something with her profile but I wanted to find out if anyone else has seen this or has an idea of what might be causing the issue. Thank you!

  • Printing problem with Adobe Reader 10.1.9

    I received a PDF document that I opened in Adobe Reader.  The document contains a pop-up note (which contains a scanned image of a signature).  When I print the document, the pop-up note signature is not printed.  How can I print the document with the pop-up note containing the signature?

    I'll add that we are running Apache webserver. I will post the documents to an IIS webserver and test the results. Also the following is the simplest of html pages to recreate the problem. I am simply testing this running it as a static page off of my desktop yet with the PDF documents hosted on the apache server.

  • Printing Problems with Adobe Reader 10.0.1

    I need some help on printing with Adobe Reader X:
    we use Multi Funktional Printer from HP, they have some finishing options like Booklet Printing or stapling.
    when printing 1 copy of a document it is attached correctly, at 2 copys of a document (stapled or booklet), the documents stapled together. 
    With Adobe Reader 9.4 it was working fine, since Update on 10.0 / 10.0.1 we have the error on 2 or more copys of a document they are stapled togehter, so they are useless!

    I have the same issue. I searched and found your April 18 post. Since it has not been answered, I posted my own also.
    Maybe one of us can get the answer.

  • Default Printer problems in Adobe Reader

    Repost:
    I have over 50 users with Adobe Reader 9.3.3 installed.  Every morning someone calls and says Adobe Reader reported that there are no printers installed on their system.  When I check their PC I find that the default printer setting has been removed and there is no default printer set.  Once reset they have no problems with the printers or their other applications.  This only happens when trying to print a PDF.
    Why is Adobe Reader removing the default printer setting? 
    The driver has NOT been removed.  Just the default setting.
    In very PLAIN English the default printer check mark is GONE.

    This is a strange issue indeed.!!!
    Can you please let me know, whether the problem reproducible only after opening any specific file? It might be that the file is running a JavaScript on the system causing the default printer setting to be removed.
    To verify the same, you can try and disable JavaScript in Adobe Reader 9.3.3 on some of the client systems, and then observe whether the problem is reproducible on their systems as they go around their normal work. (To disable javscript, goto Edit > Preferences > JavaScript and uncheck Enable Acrobat JavaScript)
    If any client system tries to open a file which is trying to run a JavaScript code, they will get a Yellow message Bar on top of their page, asking for permissions to run JavaScript. This will give you an idea about the problematic file.
    Hope this helps you zero in on the issue..

  • Printing problems with Adobe Reader 11.0.08

    Hi !
    When I try to print a document, after having selected a printer, everything looks fine, however nothing is printed.
    There is no error message, the printing simply goes to nowhere.
    With other programs, e.g. word there is no printing problem.
    Maybe there is a problem in conjunction with Winows 7.
    Can somebody help me on this topic ?

  • Why do my Pantone colors in my pdf print differently from Adobe Reader than they do from Illustrator

    I'm using the same printer color setting/profile in each application, US Web Coated Swop v2, (I choose this profile in the pint dialog box in Reader). The pantone colors do not match on our Sharp MX3100. I know Illustrator has been using the new Pantone books. Is Reader updated with these or is it converting my pdf to rgb when it prints? I like to print my customer's pdf file from Reader first and then after I set the file up with our shop parameters in Illustrator CS6 I print the file from illustrator but the Pantone colors, Orange 021 for instance looks entirely different. Thanks for any help!

    Downgrade to previous CS where color was color.  Seriously, if you were getting correct color on output and the color appeared correctly on your monitor before you updated, then there's where the problem is.  The update.
