Reader 11.0.03 issue printing PDF in colour

Trying to print a document (PDF) in colour with Reader 11.0.03 but only getting blank pages.
Reader 11.0.03 can print the PDF in Black and white.
The PDF has be tested on different machines all with the same issue.
I can print the document using 10.1.4.
The work around (print as image) does work with Reader 11.0.03 but the quality is not the same plus i dont want my customers to keep doing this and playing around with the dpi.
So far this is the 1st PDF and only one to have this issue but i would like to get ahead of this before it becomes a major issue.
The PDF was created with CS6.

Hey McBlob,
Thank for your reply.
Yes this way also works much like print as image.
But I guess what I am trying to find out is there a way so the user will not have to do this work around?
Is this a known issue related with Adobe Reader or is this a once off issue?
Is there something needs to be done during the creation of the PDF?

Issue printing PDF Packages

I'm having issues printing PDF Packages.Clients have contacted us stating that our PDF Packages don't print properly. Essentially they were only able to print the "coversheet" and nothing else. I ran some test scenarios and noted that PDF Packages print feature behaved differently depending on several criterias:
how it was viewed (ie: desktop, Firefox browser, IE browser)
what Adobe Reader Plugin
what command was used to access print feature (ie: file>print, ctrl + P, print icon)
So far I've noticed that Adobe Reader utilizes two versions of the Print Dialog Box. The first one shows four choices for "Print Range" (All, Current View, Current Page, Pages...) seems to always be misconfigured and does not print as intended. The second one I've noticed seems to limit your Print Range choices (All, Current View) which usually works.
This seems to be an Adobe bug. This Print Bug exists on both Acrobat 8 and 9, and the bug may or may not exist depending on how you view the "PDF Package" (ie: Desktop, Firefox, IE).
If you open the PDF Package on your desktop and view via Adobe Reader for the most part it prints as expected for "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents". Although the "Print Range" is misaligned (ie: "Print All" behaves as "Current View", "Current View" behaves as "Current Page".
If you open the PDF Package on a browser with an Adobe Reader plugin, a different scenario occurs.
You might experience that you're locked into printing only the "coversheet" of the PDF Package.
And again your "Print Range" might be misaligned.
In Adobe Reader 8, a dropdown appeared when you selected "File>Print" or the "Print Icon". The dropdown then gave you an option to "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents". Which basically provided you an option to print the entire "PDF Package" or choose to print only a section of the "PDF Package".
In Adobe Reader 9, the option to choose between "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents" was removed.
In fact I started to document the instances to see if its an isolated issue and it looks like it fails to print (as intended) 60% of the time. Of the 40% that does print as intended... it looks like half the time the "Print Range" is misconfigured.
Also, I've noticed that Reader utilizes two different "Print Dialog" boxes.
The testing scenario I set up was that you can print in three different ways:
    1. File>Print
    2. <ctrl + P>
    3. <print icon>
Three ways to view the PDF package:
    1. Download PDF Package & view on your desktop via Adobe Reader
    2. View PDF Package on Firefox w/ Adobe Reader plugin
    3. View PDF Package on Internet Explored w/ Adobe Reader plugin
My computer is using:
XP Pro SP3, Acrobat Reader 9
I've also spot tested on:
XP Pro SP3, Acrobat Reader 8
Vista, Acrobat Reader 8
Any Ideas?

Hi Greg,
Since this is sytem defined settings that you are trying to implement, I presume that the INI changes ought to be done in FSISYS.INI rather than the FSIUSER.INI.
Apart from that most of your INI changes look fine as we are also using pdf as our Output type. Please find the INI change swe have implemented in our system for printing pdf.
Device = ..\Print\Prt.pdf
Bookmark = Yes,Page
Compression = 0
DownLoadFonts = Yes,Enabled
LanguageLevel = Level2
Module = PDFW32
PageNumbers = Yes
PrintFunc = PDFPrint
PrintType = PDF
SendOverlays = No,Enabled
SendColor = Yes,Enabled
PrintViewOnly = No
SplitText = No
SplitPercent = 50
TextCommentOn = FORMSET
Papersize = 0
FontCompression = 1
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks,

Adobe reader 11.0.5 - cannot print pdf file to network printer

I have a 64 bit HP Pavilion a6230n PC running Windows 7, fully updated. I have wireless connection to a home file/printer server. My printer, a Brother HL-5140, is connected via USB to the file/printer server. All my other Windows programs capable of printing can print on the network printer - all except adobe reader. Adobe Reader sees the printer and all printing processes appear to be sending the file to the printer, however, the printer never gets the document. I've tried printing as a document, in which case the document sits in the printer queue until I delete it. If I send it as an image, each queue entry is deleted after adobe thinks it has printed. Again, nothing ever prints on the printer, and again, no other program running on my computer has any problems printing to this printer.
I would appreciate any help with this problem.
Addendum - 4 Nov 13:
I uninstalled adobe reader 11 and installed a much earlier version, and now I can print pdf files. Clearly the printing issue is with the current versions of adobe reader.

This phenomenon can happen with PDF files that have errors in them. Adobe Reader or Acrobat may be able to fix these errors, but if you close the application, it will ask to save the corrected file. If you save it once, that should no longer occur when you open it again.
This is just one explanation, but it doesn't explain why that happens with every PDF you have.
Test: does it also happen with a PDF that is not supposed to contain any errors: http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?

Issues printing pdfs

Hi we have some users that when printing pdf CAD drawings things like dashed lines are turning out solid. I've found a "fix" for it but this seems to be a bandaid solution and I'd rather know why its going wrong and have some way to resolve it properly.
It seems to only affect some users with some printers. We are on Windows XP and Adobe Reader 8 - the users with the issue also seem to have Adobe Pro 8 installed.
The fix I've found is to change their current distiller setting to have a compatibiltiy of reader 8 - as it defaults to reader 5. This seems to fix the issue - but I'm not sure why it would - isn't distiller only used when actually creating PDFs? (ie not printing existing ones?)
Because we have a lot of users I wonder if the solution to change all their compatibility to version 8 is a reasonable one - or is something else the issue? Eg the creation of the PDFs in the first place?
Any advice appreciated.
Paul Thomsen

Good day Paul,
You are correct that Distiller is only used when creating PDF files, but not when printing them. I'd recommend that if you're users at typically printing from Adobe Reader, that you upgrade to Adobe Reader X.
However, you may want to try turning on the Print as Image option within the Reader 8 print dialog box to see if this improves your printing.
Good luck!
Kind regards,
David

Reader 10.1.4. Printing PDF by command line

Hi
In an application I have developed I print PDF files to a defined printer using command line, such as
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\acrord32.exe" /N /T "myPDFfile.pdf" "\\servername\printername"
I have noticed a change of behaviour with Reader 10.1.4 to previous versions.
To test locally I share a local printer (e.g. share name "bobsprinter") connected to my machine ("bobsmachine") and include it in the command line as follows
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\acrord32.exe" /N /T "myPDFfile.pdf" "\\bobsmachine\bobsprinter"
I have noticed that with Reader 10.1.4 a print job is no longer submitted, unless I take out the machine name and just leave in the shared printer name:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\acrord32.exe" /N /T "myPDFfile.pdf" "bobsprinter"
Where it then works OK.
Question: Why would there be this change of behaviour in 10.1.4? Is there anything I need to consider? I have not come across anything in the release notes.
I have noted that on my customer's site my command line (with machien and printer name) still works OK with 10.1.4. Maybe because the shared printer is on another network?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for reporting the problem faced by you. My investigations suggest that command line printing behavior between Reader 10.1.3 and 10.1.4 is still the same.
It prints the document on Reader 10.1.3 and 10.1.4 only when you do not specify the servername(localhost) on command line. However, It prints both with/without using the servername when Acrobat is used.
Thanks,

I am having issues printing PDF documents on my HP CM1312nfi

Whenever I print a PDF that I have created by scanning from my CM1312nfi it has difficulty printing it. It will print one page then read ERROR in the printer set up on the computer and 90 seconds later it will then print the next page and do the same thing. So if I have a large PDF it can take hours to print 1 copy.
I do make sure to use the print production features is Acrobat as well as reduce the file sizes dramatically but this doesn't seem to help the situation. Anyone have any thoughts??

Please read this document reference printing PDF files and slow printing.
Adobe PDF files print slowly or hang in queue
If you print alot of Adobe PDF files and you currently don't use a postscript driver, you may need to switch to that.

One Solution to Safari Issues Printing PDF's (Landscape)

If your combination of hardwar and software leads to the following trouble:
You are trying to print out a PDF from Safari, and
The document is in Landscape orientation, and
The print dialogue from the PDF provides no method to switch from Portrait, and
You try printing from the Safari Print menu, which does allow choosing Landscape, but
It results in printing extraneous garbage, and
It all prints out in the wrong size and won't fit properly,
and, If you also happen to have an iPad, then a solution exists:
Print from Safari in iOS!
It all works fine, even double-sided. You're stuck with Long-edge Binding, which is NQR for Landscape printing jobs, but that's a separate issue for the iPad/iOS forums.

That was very hard, and very good work. Well Done !

Reader 9.2 won't print PDF Files (data execution prevention)

I just downloaded updates to reader 9.2 and now pdf files will not print. message of data execution prevention stops the printing process. Help me mister wizard!!!!!

Seems an awful lot of us are having the same problem. When I updated toV9.2 I got the DEP error. Never had a problem with V9.1.3 Try uninstalling 9.2 and installing V9.1.3. If that doesn't work try what some other users have done go back to V8.1.3. I wonder when the Adobe people are going to attend to this problem?

Reader Plug-in not printing PDFs correctly after InDesign Install on Mac OS 10.9.5

Installed InDesign trial yesterday. Ever since, no matter what browser I use, if I try to print PDFs from a browser, if the pages are in portrait mode, it will display them in portrait mode within the browser, but when I go to print them, the page appears in landscape and the bottom of each page does not print. It doesn't matter whether I select portrait or landscape mode. The page in the preview does not rotate. Some of the websites I use do not allow saving of a PDF, only viewing it in my browser window, so I can't save and use Preview to try to print it.
HELP!

Are you using Adobe Reader or Apple Preview to print PDFs?
You should not use Apple Preview to do anything with PDFs as it is not a reliable PDF viewer. Use Adobe Acrobat or Reader for PDFs only.
Do you have installed any PDF plugins? On the Apple PDFs are shown without any plugins because their graphic engine Quartz is based on PDF, but it does not support completely every PDF standard, so it is better to use Adobe Acrobat or Reader. (But Apple Preview has been improved in the newest upgrades from Apples OS, so it is much better than before.)

Print pdf file directly from a folder, Adobe Reader X in Windows Server 2003

In previous versions of Adobe Reader we were able to print pdf files groupwise directly when selected in a folder.
Now I've installed Reader X on the Windows Server 2003 environment. Logged in as administrator I can still select <Print> by selecting the right mouse button in a folder. Logged in as a user, this is not available.
I checked user-rights and permissions and made sure they have full control.
Someone who can help us in this matter?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
The file menu doesn't show the print option either. We used to work this way, after installing the 9.0 and Reader X version, this option has disappeared from both the File menu and the right mouse button. For other filetypes, for example Excel the Print option is still available and works properly. Logged in as administrator on the serverconsole, there is no problem. So it seams to be something specific to pdf-formats in a server 2003 environment. The userrights are all set on full control (same as administrator).
Thanks again

HP laserjet 1536dnf will not print pdf's

My laser jet 1536dnf will not print pdfs. Prints everything else. I have adobe acrobat 9. I have unistalled the driver/software for the printer and reinstalled. Still not fixed. When I pull up the pdf and select print, then hit ok, nothing happens. However, I can print pdfs to the other printer connected to my computer. This logically brings the conclusion that the issue is with the laser jet driver. Does anyone have a clue as to how to fix this?

Try printing a page from the printer's User Guide, to see if you have the same results. LASERJET PRO M1530.Let me know the results.

Officejet Pro 8600 won't print PDF's

Just bought a new OJP 8600 (3rd HP printer in a year, starting to get VERY frustrated). I've searched through all of the forums, all over the internet and cannot find a solution. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.9.3. I can't print any PDF files either through Acrobat 10.1.10 or Preview. Please advise. Thank you.

Hi thelmacotton, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you are having issues printing PDF's. I would like to try and help.
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Officejet Pro 8600 series Full Feature Software and Driver- OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

I have installed Lion and have problems to print PDF from prewiev.

I have installed Lion and have problems to print PDF from prewiev. When trying to print Prewiev locks. Anyone out there with the same problem?

Hello David and Nicole
I just installed Lion on my iMac, which was purchased in 2007, and I cannot print from Preview; it keeps locking up and not responding. So, I have to force quit Preview. I have been sending error reports to Apple. I suggest everyone who has this problem, send error reports!
I can print from other applications, like Pages, with my Canon Laserjet. I do not think it is a printer issue becasue I can print in other application.
I took your advice and installed Adobe reader. Now I can print pdf's.
Thanks
Ed

What needs to be installed so I print pdf files at work?
Thanks
