Selectively Print a PDF

I used to be able to selectively print a PDF, ie print certain pages only. EG an American Express statement, say pages 1, 3 and 4 but none of the other pages. I did this by moving my cursor, which would blink, anywhere on the page I wished to print.
I bought a new laptop about a month ago and I’ve lost this ability. Cursor does not blink and I cannot position it anywhere. I’ve opened a web site, then a PDF, in both IE 11 and Chrome. Makes no difference. ???

What you're describing doesn't make any sense... Moving the cursor so that it blinks in order to select which pages to print??
If you want to print only several page simply go to the Print dialog of Reader and enter the pages you want to print in the "Page to print" section, like "1,3,4" to print just those pages.

Has anyone been able to use auto select printing on pdf documents?

Does anyone have a fix for being able to preset the printer trays to a specific paper size to allow for autoselect printing of pdf documents with multiple size pages? The mac printing options only allow for letter or legal with scaling. I need to be able to print large documents with both size pages. Windows environement can handle this with ease. I'm very surprised Apple cannot.

How do I print to PDF in safari for iOS?

When I shop on my MacBook, I like to save my receipts as a PDF. This way I can easily search and consult them later, and don't have to go to the trouble of physically printing and filing them. How do I do this when I make the purchases in Safari on my iPad 2? So far, I've only identified 3 options, none of which really meets my needs:
1) Take a screen shot of the receipt page. This is unacceptable because the image file is not searchable the way a PDF is, and also because I can't always fit everything on one screen, meaning two images or more are necessary for one receipt.
2) Make all my purchases through a 3rd party program like Print2PDF. Unfortunately, this means giving up use of Safari whenever I want to shop.
3) Print out a paper copy of the receipt. Ick.
Is there a feature or option I'm missing? I just want to select Share > Print in Safari and be able to select Print to PDF.
Thank you.

The PDF port is not sharable between systems, not even on the same machine. You'd need to buy a second copy of Acrobat for use in the virtual machine.

Print to PDF from within Acrobat Pro X

I keep reading threads here and there about users having the same issues that I'm having with Acrobat Pro X... I used to be able to print a portion of a PDF file to create another PDF... I see a lot of answers like SAVE AS and EXTRACTing pages... While this may work in some situations, I haven't found an easy way to achieve the results that I was getting from the "Print to PDF" option.
I work with files that have many pages of large CAD drawings... I am constantly finding the need to send PDF's of portions of the detailed drawings... It used to be as easy as zooming to the detail in question, select Print>Adobe PDF>Current Viewthen I could quickly mark up the detail and email it...
I've tried SAVE AS and EXTRACT, but I then have to DELETE the unwanted pages, then CROP the detail and save... this gets rather tedious when involved with multiple drawings, pages and details... There's got to be a better way...
Thanks

1. Correction - the deployed machines are running 10.1.7 (not 10.1.17)
2. The majority of our machines are running 32bit, I have not tested the 64bit installations to see if they exhibit the same problems.
3. I didn't expect that printing to an open pdf would be possible. The point was that in attempting to do so, no error message is generated and the pdf printer / IE hang. Closing the open pdf does not release them. Anyway, I suspect this is a separate issue and af far less importance to me.
I've had to be away from the office most of today so have not done much more testing. I'll update as soon as I have.

Help, can't choose "print to pdf" after installing 9.4

Have had previous free versions of Adobe and was always able to select "print to pdf" instead of a printer. Now that option is gone. According to some sites, i need to select AdobePDF.inf from my Adobe>Acrobat 9.0> Acrobat> Xtras folder, but under my Adobe folder, I only have Reader 9.0 folder. Can someone help?

Adobe Reader has never come with the ability to print/export/save to PDF so it's hard to say what is going on. In fact, Adobe has never had a free PDF creator that I'm aware of (if they did, it was a long long time ago). Did you used to have Adobe Acrobat and have replaced it with the free Reader?

Problem printing borderless PDF w/ Snow Leopard + Acrobat Pro 9 + MS Office

Create a borderless Word doc in MS Office 2008 (text or images go all the way to the edge).
Using OS X 10.5, you can select "Print to PDF" and it will print a borderless PDF. Beautiful.
Using OX X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), that's now impossible because Snow Leopard is incompatible with the Acrobat 9 PDF print engine. (See this article: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html )
Is there a solution?
This is a Snow Leopard problem, so Apple must be responsible for the solution. It worked beautifully with 10.5, and now an upgrade renders it entirely useless.
Please help urgently.

I use US Letter and A4 page sizes frequently, but have been known to use other sizes as well. A custom hack would be great, thank-you.
Download CUPS-PDF from the link above. Download my PPD file with borderless A4 and US Letter from: http://etresoft.org/opensource/PostscriptBorderless.zip
Copy the PPD file somewhere convenient on your system. Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax > + (to add a printer).
Select CUPS-PDF. In the Print Using pop-up, select "Other" and choose my PPD file. Click the Add button.
Now when you print to CUPS-PDF, you will be able to select borderless A4 and borderless US letter. Your PDF files will show up in /Users/Shared/CUPS-PDF/<your user account>/
Although the underlying issue still remains.
That Adobe's PDF Printer doesn't work? Yes. I agree.
(To be honest, I think both of the companies should be working on solutions as urgently as possible as it's disrespectful to their long-term customers.)
Again, I agree. While I am certainly biased towards Apple, in most cases (and especially this case), it is Adobe that needs to get their act in gear. Snow Leopard was released over a year ago. Adobe had pre-release copies long before that. Their PDF printer still doesn't work. Some random guys on the internet (the authors of CUPS-PDF for MacOS X and me) were about to make the 5 minute (no exaggeration!) changes required to produce a functional virtual printer for Snow Leopard. Why can't Adobe?
Feel free to forward that to Adobe http://www.adobe.com/bin/webfeedback.cgi

Print Adobe PDF: Choose file save location

Currently, when I select Print, then select Printer: Adobe PDF 9.0, and press Print, the PDF file is saved to my Desktop. Where is the preference setting to save the PDF file somewhere of my choosing?

Thanks Lady Designer, your method works. However, it's too many steps for what I'll need to do. I have approximately 200 e-mail messages to print to file. It'd be much faster to select a message, Command+P, Enter, and continue with the next message. Your method requires the additional steps of clicking on the PDF button and selecting Save As PDF.
You're probably thinking, "Why doesn't he just select all the messages and print once?" I tried that.
When I choose to the PDF button and Save As PDF, no matter how many multiple messages I choose, only one of the messages turns into a PDF file. The other messages, despite being (apparently) processed, do not become PDF files. In fact, they become nothing; I know what happens to them.
When I choose to print using Adobe PDF 9.0 as my printer, I'm not given the opportunity to select a destination for multiple files; they automatically print to the Desktop. All the messages, however, do become PDF files.
Unless there's a way to select a file destination to which the Adobe PDF 9.0 printer can default, my choices are to either print-to-file each message one at a time; or print all the messages at once with the one method that works, but that will flood my Desktop with a couple hundred file icons. Although the mess lasts as long as it would take to gather the files into a new folder, I prefer to save myself the trouble.

Printing as PDF changes Doc?????

Hey everyone, I have hit a wall and I need some serious help. I have a rather large word 2007 document with pictures, graphs, page breaks etc.. when I go to print and select print to PDF, like I normally do, it will give me the PDF file and it looks perfect. However, when I return to my original word document everything is messed up. My spacing is weird and things are being cut off, it's like it changed my margins and fonts for no reason. Any ideas why this is happening??

The printer metric issues are turned off by default in WORD 2007, so the reflow should not be an issue. There is no reason that the DOC file should be changed at all, unless WORD is doing something strange or you turned on the printer metric option. However, it is looks fine in the PDF, there is no reason you should be seeing any changes in the DOC file after printing. This is not helping I know. You might consider doing an update to OFFICE 2007, just in case there is a bug there (that is what updates are supposed to fix and OFFICE has several updates, just like Acrobat).

Print/Save Selected Text to PDF

I want to use Mozilla Firefox very much for a long time. I like it because the UI is very clean, easy to use, the icon vey pretty. When I use in my Android Mobile, it is very easy and intelligent to select content of page site. Very good!
But I had to install Chrome instead so I've always been using "Print a selected content to PDF" but I couldn't find ways to do that with Firefox. Chrome is doing very good.
I searched all add-ons, pdf printer software but they are only saving or printing all the page (website) to PDF.
Please help me the ways to save a selected content to PDF. Thanks very much.

Why can't I print a PDF file? message says no pages selected to print

When I try to print a PDF file I get two messages 'This document could not be printed.' Then 'There were no pages selected to print.' How do I select a page to print? or is there something else?

What is your operating system? Reader version?

How can I fix a printing problem: message cannot print document: "no pages selected to print" when printing a pdf file.

I am having problems printing a pdf document. When I select a file to print and try to print it says that "no pages selected to print". The default all pages was selected by me but the message keeps coming up. I recently installed adobe reader version 11. Rebooted the computer but sitll having issues printing docs.

Hi Pat.
Yes, both of them lead to the very same error.
I have a workaround, kind of, where I preview the document and select all the pages that are correct (read showing on the pages preview) as included in the 1st screenshot.
As you can see in the first screenshot, the 5th page seems to be non-existandt, however as I try to preview it from the 3rdP software, it comes up just fine and from there I can print it individually... just annoying when you have 50 pages and 6 of then are randomly not showing up.
If I try to print the whole document, it simply gives me the 2nd, 3rd and 4th screenshots.
As for the 3rdP software, as stated in prior posts, it has been working flawlesly for the last 5 years, and has not been updated in any way, shape of form... As you said, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to look into that, however I don't believe the contract for the software maintenance is still in effect...
Thanks.

PDF as default selection for Select printing cotrol (for Web)

Hi
Can someone point me to righ direction? What we are trying to do is, in Infoview, set PDF as default selection for "Select printing Control (for Web)", so that each user does not have to do this in preferences in infoview.
Is it possible to do so? If yes, how?
Thank you
Regards
IMS

Take a look for a .vbs sample that synchs the ADMINISTRATOR preferences to all users on the BOE platform.
You can schedule this as a PROGRAM OBJECT in InfoView so that it runs on a regular schedule to apply the change to new users.

Firefox 4: Printing to PDF: Text in form fields can't be selected

I have a problem when printing to PDFs (using PDFCreator, but this doesn't seem to matter): while the text of a web site is printed as text, the content of form fields always gets rasterized so that it is impossible to search or select it. It happens on all sites, e.g. try printing http://www.december.com/html/demo/form.html and selecting "All is well that ends well".
Details:
- HW acceleration is off (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/760923).
- Happens also in safe mode.
- in IE9 this issue doesn't appear. In FF3.x it didn't appear as well.
- using FF 4.0.1
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
I would suggest you to run optical character recognition and see if that helps, please follow the steps mentioned below:-
Open the document- Tools- Text Recognition- In this file
