Strange n-up printing in Reader 9.1

When I try to print any PDF n-up, I get a strange page order. Reverse pages is Not ticked.
Eg for 2-up, I get:
Page 2
Page 1
Page 4
Page 3
etc.
For 4-up printing, I get:
Page 4
Page 3
Page 2
Page 1
Page 8
Page 7
Page 6
Page 5
Even when Reverse pages is ticked, the sheets come out of the printer in reverse order as expected, but on each sheet, the order is still reversed as shown.
What I'd like to achieve is "normal" n-up printing:
Page 1
Page 2
Page 3
Page 4
Other applications on the same computer (WinXP SP3) and same printer (Brother MCF-7820N) print n-up correctly.
This hasn't always happened, but I can't recall when it started happening. Maybe with a recent Reader update??
Any ideas appreciated.

Have you had any luck with this yet we are having the same issue with this it seems to be the first page only on our issue, we are printing 8.5x18 and it just recognizes the document as 8.5x11, works fine from reader 8.x

I want to reinstall CS4 as it has been doing some strange things regarding printing, etc. However, when I did this before, it created a major problem and I ended up buying a new computer because no one could figure out why it kept hanging up during the installation. Hours on the phone, no results. I'm scared to do it on this computer. Should I try? Not even the Adobe support could get it resolved. I believe it was somehow reading a product number that could not be deleted or something, and nothing worked.

Hello, as an addition:
In your case I would download a really new trial version of your program(s) in question and change it/them into a "real" version later, BUT because you said, that you "re-installed" already, so it will become a little bit more complicated. It would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool" as Keith wrote.
Here an advice for that (The order varies depending on your individual needs. Please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:)
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for may part - as it seems unlike you - had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

Colors not printing correctly - Only When Printing from Reader 9

I have recently been having problems printing color PDF's using Reader 9. Yellows are printing as blue, blues as pink, pink as grey, etc. I have no problems printing any other types of photos, documents, or powerpoint presentations so I am assuming it is some setting in Reader. My printer is an HP Color LaserJet CM1015. Any help diagnosing this problem would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Dave

It is using sRGB and that is the only color profile available.
In addition, when I try to print 4 slides per page and 1 slide per page, the colors are completely different than when I try to print 2 slides per page.
I have tried changing settings in print options and put them back to default and nothing I do changes the issue. Again, it only occurs when printing from Reader. Everything else prints colors perfectly fine.

User can't print from Reader, tried multiple troubleshooting steps

Working with a client who can no longer print from Reader (v11.0.10). Windows 7 Pro x86 machine. Tried printing after each of the following steps:
Rebooted PC
Restarted Print Spooler service
Uninstalled/Reinstalled Reader v11 (from fresh download)
Set PDF/A option to "Never"
Set Advanced option for "Print as image"
Uninstalled v11 and installed v10 (from fresh download)
Set v10 option to "Print as image"
In each instance, the printer queue shows no activity following a print command from Reader. No document is hanging or even appearing in the queue.
Test prints from other applications (MS Excel) and from the printer properties Test button both work flawlessly. When test printing from other apps, the documents are briefly visible in the print queue.
She gets no error message. It simply does not print. Have attempted with multiple documents and sending to different printers.
Next step is going to be installing third-party PDF reader software and scrapping Reader altogether. Please advise if there are any additional troubleshooting steps before abandoning this product.

No dice. Tried disabling protected mode and still could not print.
Installing Foxit Reader (http://www.foxitsoftware.com/Secure_PDF_Reader/index.php) so at least user can print PDFs. I will keep monitoring this post for any further suggestions anyone may come up with.

Slow printing Adobe Reader XI

Hi there!
Like so many others, I am having a difficult time printing Adobe Reader documents. I am running system 10.6.8 (not sure which cat that is), Adobe Reader XI and my printer is a HP LaserJet P2015dn. I ran Software Update, re-installed the driver from the HP website and updated to Reader XI. I'm not sure what else I can do and printing at five minutes per page is really frustrating.
Thank you for any advice!!

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

I am using reader 11.0.10.32 in Win7 Professional 64 bit. I am unable to print from Reader. After selecting print all pages, the progress bar goes through the proper page count. After that a pop up window appears with the message: The document could not be printed. After pressing the OK button that pop up closes and the next pop up window appears with the message: There were no pages selected to print. After pressing the OK button, the pop up closes and the pdf document is still visible in Reader.
I can print from other programs to that printer. I can print from Reader to other printers.
I was able to print to all printers before. I uninstalled Reader and reinstalled it from the Adobe web site.
Any suggestions to make it print?
Thanks.

Answered multiple times every day: open Adobe Reader | Edit | Preferences
under Documents, change 'View documents in PDF/A mode' to Never

Strange issue when printing PDF's

This problem started the other day. Whenever I scan to a pdf file or Save as from Illustrator the PDF looks fine (using the High Quality Setting) but prints out like a rastered high contrast jpeg image (with artifacting around all the edges of text and images). I thought this was a Distiller issue and checked all my settings. No Luck.
This morning I opened and tried to print a clients file and same thing happened. The problem occurs to both black & White laser printer as well as Epson R2400
I am using CS3 Updated to version 8.1.4 this morning on a windows vista machine.I would reinstall acrobat but when I had to do that a previous time, Vista and Acrobat would not play nice and I could never get Acrobat to install completely until I reformatted my whole drive and started from scratch. I do not have the time or want to try that again.
Could the preference file be bad? And where is that located?
Thanks,

This is not a scanning resolution factor and I have been scanning this way for years. These scans are not photos but documents. This problem just started. And as I said before, the problem also occurs when doing a save as from Illustrator, as well as supplied files from clients, so the scanning process has nothing to do with it. I just can't get them to print right.

Unable to print in Reader X

I am unable to print in Reader X, also it happened in Reader 9 - perhaps with the (clean) install of Snow Leopard from Leopard. I am also using Neo Office (an OpenOffice for Mac). Neither the Print Icon, nor the Print menu work - it does not bring up the dialog at all in X. In 9xx, it would ACT as though it printed, but fail with a "no pages were selected", even though they were. So, today I uninstalled 9xx & installed X fresh. When it didn't print, I reinstalled it. It still doesn't work.
Any help appreciated. (I can print just fine from other apps. ; main printer right now is networked Xerox Phaser 8560)

For the record, Mac 10.6.5.
PDFs are the problem, I also see no link for a "possible" solution. Every other application can print, including Firefox, Neo (OpenOffice for Mac), Preview, etc.
My workaround has been to close Acrobat Reader, then open the PDF in Preview and print from there.

Color management when printing from Reader 9

When printing from Adobe Reader 9 (Windows XP), the Advanced Print Setup gives the option "let printer determine colors". I presume that if this is selected the colors in the document will be sent unchanged to the printer. So, how does Reader 9 affect the document colors when printing if this option is NOT selected? Also, was this the same in Reader 8?
Thanks
Steve Fowell

It is using sRGB and that is the only color profile available.
In addition, when I try to print 4 slides per page and 1 slide per page, the colors are completely different than when I try to print 2 slides per page.

Printing Adobe Reader files with a DeskJet 6540 and OS X.6

Ever since I upgraded to Mac OS X.6, I've had problems printing .pdf files. No matter what I teil the printer, it only prints one copy of one page of the document. I've upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.2.0. Is this a driver problem? OS X.6 is supposed to take care of that. Adobe Reader is the only software that causes this problem, and of course Adobe does not provide support. Any ideas?

Hi There...I'm having the same problem, although I'm using XP Pro with Service Pack 3 and an OfficeJet 6500 , e709n ...and
it was working until this past couple of weeks. I can't print ANY PDF, doesn't matter if it's old or new... If I "do" a preview, all I see is a line of print across the top of the page.
Anything else will print other than PDF's, so of course it's driving me nuts! I've even reinstalled the driver for the printer; but it didn't make any difference except for my time and frustration. I hope someone can give us an answer soon...there are important docs I need to print out.

Duplex printing with Reader XI?

Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) does not recognize duplex printing for my Brother HL-5370DW printer. This occurs in OS X 10.6.8 and Mavericks (on different computers). All other software, including Acrobat Reader 9 (and earlier versions of Reader) and Acrobat 8 do recognize the duplex mode on the 10.6.8 machine.
Is there a solution or a software workaround?
Thanks

I don't know what is causing this; you could try Print as Image (Advanced button on the Print panel).

Strange difference in prints from Photoshop and InDesign

Hello,
Recently I upgraded to CS5 but at the same time upgraded my good old Power Mac G5 to a 27" iMac i7.
I also traded my Epson 7600 for an Epson 9800. So obviously many things changed at the same time.
Now I created a new profile for my printer paper and noticed the folowing strange thing:
When printing from photoshop the prints are consistently way too dark.
When printing from InDesign the same photo it is perfectly as it should be and looks on screen.
Then I checked printing from Preview and again way too dark, same as in Photoshop
I applied the same printerprofile to all printjobs
During the profiling I also printed the testpage from the Datacolor Spyder 3 software, which was perfect
printing the same testpage from Photoshop: way too dark.
I don't have a clue to where things are going wrong.
Is it a bug in Photoshop,but why then also in Preview?
is it the way the printerdriver handles things? But then why not in InDesign?
Anyone any ideas?
Regards,
Hans

Have you gone into the "Print Settings" dialog and turned off color matching in the Epson portion of the settings?
Are you running the most recent version of the driver? There is a combination updater to version 7.0 available as the first result at:
