Problem printing a pdf. document

I cannot get pdf. files to print. I have a Macbook Pro (late 2009) running Snow Leopard; printer is a Canon MX850. I have downloaded every file that I can find from Apple; Canon and Adobe. Nothing allows the file to print. Everything else prints OK (test pages; documents). I can print the files with no problem on a PC running Vista. Is there a solution for this problem?

Are you printing from Adobe or from your web browser? I've had one or two pdf articles that did not print with Safari, but printed when I opened them in Adobe.

  • Problem printing scanned PDF document from iPad to HP Photosmart Plus B209a

    Hi,
    I'd like to report a problem printing a scanned PDF document from iPad via HP ePrint application to my HP Photosmart Plus B209a printer. The document was sent to the printer without any issue. However, the printer only prints out the
     screenshot image in the center of the PDF page, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit in an A4 paper. The rest of the document is simply ignored by the printer. The document with the problem can be downloaded in the link below:
    Download PDF document with the problem
    What could be wrong? Thank you in advance!

    Thanks for the reply.
    I received the document from my teacher, so I don't know what program she used to scan it.
    I tried to print the document directly from my PC which works fine though, so I guess the document is OK.
    My HP printer is an old model which doesn't support eprint or air print, so I used the eprint application on iOS to print the document. I tried both color and black/white which gave me the same result: only the center screenshot image is printed out, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit an A4 paper, the rest of the document is just ignored.
    What do you mean by saving it as a document?

    I am having trouble printing a PDF document. Whenever I click print nothing happens but when I am printing documents from Word, Excel etc they print without a problem. I've tried printing as image but that did not work. I uninstalled Adobe Reader XI and downloaded Adobe Reader X instead and that still doesn't work. I have Windows 7.

    Hello,

  • I cannot print adobe pdf documents as it is password protected. I forgot my password. How do I fix this problem?

    I cannot print adobe pdf documents. Password protected. How do I fix this problem?

    You'll need to remember it or recreate the PDF from the original file.
    If there were an easy way to get around that, passwords wouldn't be worth much.

  • Sudden printing problems with scanned pdf documents

    Hi, I suddenly experience problems when I want to print scanned pdf documents.
    Since 2 years, I am using an iMac with a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M and a Samsung ML-2525W. I also use Acrobat Pro 9.0 provided with the scanner. I scan documents, save them as pdfs and print them. Worked fine until just recently. If I print scanned pdf documents, the printer give white pages. Other pdf documents get printed without problems.
    I use OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) and ScanSnap Manager 3.2.L63.
    Any advice is highly appreciated

    Hi Roger - the problem was going from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8. That is when all of the printing problems began, as well as the wifi getting flaky. I was able to get the iMac speaking politely to the printer by installing Repair 10.6.8 and re-adding the Canon printer (see below):
    Printer “failure”
    Probably the single most common 10.6.8 problem, at least as evidenced by a massive 17 page thread in Apple Support Communities, is a failure to print. The typical symptom is that the printer driver software pauses, displaying a message that states something like: “printer-state-message="/usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd failed" or “/usr/libexec/cups/backend/dnssd failed.” Not all printers have this problem, but users report seeing the symptom in a variety of different printers.
    As is often the case with update-related problems, reinstalling 10.6.8 from the combo updater may eradicate the symptom. Another possible solution is modifying a printer file in the /etc/cups/ppd directory (as detailed in the above-linked thread).
    Unfortunately, none of these solutions are guaranteed to work. What does reliably fix the problem is to downgrade back to 10.6.7. If you’d rather stick with 10.6.8, you can instead downgrade just the quartet of printer-related files that appear to be the root cause of the symptom. These are the socket, dnssd, lpd and ipp files, located in the /usr/libexec/cups/backend directory.
    A Mac user wrote an application, Repair10.6.8 (direct download link), that automatically downgrades these four files for you. Several users report success with this program. After running the Repair app, you may also need to “reset printing system” by selecting the command from the contextual menu for the printer name in the Print & Fax System Preferences pane.

  • Printing a pdf document created in Acrobat Pro 9.0

    Solved the problem of printing a pdf document created using Acrobat Pro 9.0 with SL - tried many different things form adobe etc and by accident discovered while in Acrobat you have to select ADVANCED in Print then click onto SAVE AS IMAGE in next box and then OK and all prints as it should. Just thought others may want to know this if they have had problems 1

    I'm reviewing your post and while I see a fix, I can't locate the problem that you may have originally posted. Since I'm having issues, I'm hoping your's were the same.
    Sometimes when I print an Adobe Acrobat 9.0 document, most of the printed word fail to print out (although they are in the PDF document). Almost all graphical elements print and the occasional line of text--but most text is missing. Was ti your issue?
    Thanks.

  • Acrobat X and XI will not print many pdf documents.

    Acrobat X and XI will not print many pdf documents. When I click Print, the document fades and I get a dialog box that says "Adobe Acrobat has Stopped Working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I was experiencing this with Acrobat X so I upgraded to XI, but the problem is exactly the same. I am using Windows 7 Professional operating system.

    Thank you for your reply. I have several printers available on our network,
    the program doesn't even go as far as allowing me to select a printer. I am
    trying to print to an HP 1320n or a LANIER MP C5502 PCL 6. I have changed
    the default printer, but the result is still the same. In does the same
    thing with Adobe (Standard XI) PDF set as the default printer.

  • I can't print a PDF document anymore

    I can't print a PDF document anymore
    how can i correct the problem?

    What is your operating system?  What is your Adobe Reader version?  Only one document, or any?  Local or online documents?  If online, in what browser?
    Finally, what exactly means "can't"?

  • Whenever I try to print a pdf document I get a message saying there  a runtime error, I have adobe r

    Whenever I try to print a PDF document, I get a message indicating there is a runtime error, and for me to contact you. My system is Adobe reader 9.3

    A runtime error is a computer error that appears in the form  of a message box consisting of a particular code along with its  corresponding definitions. Usually, a user will notice that the computer  becomes noticeably slow before a runtime error appears.
    After the runtime error message has been displayed and closed, the software that shows this error would  normally close or freeze. In some cases, the operating system will  reboot.
    A wide variety of errors cause these problems. These include:
    conflicts between the TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident Program)
    currently running applications
    software issues
    memory problems
    and harmful applications such as computer viruses
    With this, the procedures necessary to correct this type of error  differs from one case to another. If the runtime error you are  experiencing were caused by a TSR then you can simply use the "end task"  function of the Task Manager.
    If you consequently encounter a runtime error  that is persistent, the software that displays the error message has  certain issues and problems. You can resolve this problem by visiting  the website of the software's developer and downloading and installing  all the updates and patches needed for the smooth running of the  software. However, if you have already installed all updates and patches  and the runtime error message still appears, you can opt to uninstall  and reinstall the program.
    Another type of runtime error is usually caused by memory issues. In  this case, it is a good idea to first contact the developer of the  application that caused the error message. More often than not, they can  provide you with a possible set of solutions. But if their given  solutions cannot resolve the issues, you need to contact the  manufacturer of your computer or motherboard and ask for a technician or  someone from the company who can assess your hardware.
    A different type of runtime error is caused by harmful programs such  as viruses and other malicious processes. These harmful programs are  capable of altering the computer's settings. With this, they are very  much capable of generating runtime errors. In order to prevent runtime  errors that are caused by such malicious programs, you need to  frequently update your antivirus software. If your PC does  not have a good software security program, you need to install one and scan your computer for possible threats  to the stability of your system and the security of your private data.
    What all that means is: There is something in the Adobe Reader that is not functioning properly once it is opened.
    The best way to resolve this is to:
    1. Uninstall Reader (using the Control Panel).
    2. Download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (msicuu2.exe)
    3. Run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the installer for Reader 9 (and previous versions if they are still installed).
    4. Download and install a new copy of Reader, and update it (if required) to 9.3.1.

  • HP Laserjet pro P1606 wont print certain pdf documents

    My HP laserjet P1606 won't print certain pdf docs.  It's connected via USB to my imac (OS 10.7.5; Adobe Reader 9.5.5). My wireless HP Photosmart 6520 has no problem printing my pdf docs.   Not sure why some pdf's are able to print on the P1606 and others can't.  Any solutions?
    This question was solved.

    Hi @JL_MAC, 
    I understand that you aren't able to print all the PDF documents from the HP Laserjet P1606dn, but the Photosmart 6520 can. I can help you with this.
    Run all the Adobe Reader updates to see if that helps. The latest version is 11.0.
    It might be a issue with the printer language.
    The Laserjet P1606dn printer is hostbased and the Photosmart 6520 printer language is PCL3 GUI.
    Hope this helps.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Problem printing Online PDF file

    Have a strange problem printing online PDF files. The printer prints all other documents ok - Word, Pages, PDF files that are stored on disk etc. However when i try and print a PDF file online - i.e. online job application form, the printer goes into melt down. It will only print part of the first page then stops. The drive wheel pushes the paper back and forth a few times then stops. I can print each page one at a time but won't let me print all at once.
    Any ideas? It does this regardless of which computer I use (both mac's). Makes no difference if the printer is connected direct via USB or Airport.
    Any ideas?
    Colin.

    What kind of printer is it? Is the software up to date? Is it possible to provide the URL of the page you are trying to print?

  • Radio buttons are always checked when I print a PDF document

    I had an existing PDF file, which I turned into a form with Adobe Acrobat. Everything works fine, except that for the radiobuttons.
    When I fill in the form the radio buttons work as expected. I can also save my completed form afterwards. The problem occurs when I try to print the completed form. All radio buttons are checked when I print out the completed form. It doens't correspond with the checked fields I saved.
    Can someone please help me, because I'm clueless and can't find an answer with Google.
