Unable to print to pdf after adobe update

Hi All,
After an adobe acrobat last week, I am unable to print word documents as pdf. I get the following error message:
Invalid "ADOBE PDF" printer properties:
Do not change spooler settings.
Please select "Print directly to the printer" option (from adobe PDF printer properties "Advanced" tab).
Could somebody please help
Thanks

I have a similar problem. I have adobe 9.0 pro and word 2007. Everything was fine until a couple of days ago. Now when I try to create a pdf, it doesn't work. When I try to print to pdf I get the following error
Adobe PDF Settings file read error in :
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\Standard.joboptions
I have tried repairing the program, recovery to an earlier date, updating, removing and reinstalling both adobe and word 2007 and still get the same error. Anyone have an idea what I should do next. I have gone into the add-ins and adobe is enabled.
Thanks, I hope someone has an idea.

Unable to print a pdf in Adobe Reader 9

Hi! I have created an eBook in Adobe Pro 8 that is 148,300 KB. This .pdf was sent to a client, who is having issues printing it. They are trying to print it using Adobe Reader 9. Some sheets come out blank, while others only print the watermark. The document has been optimized to reduce the size (file is 131,744 after being optimized), but the issue still persists. Printing has been attempted in smaller portions, because this is such a large document, but htat does not resolve the issue. I have to note that, I have not had any issues printing with Adobe Pro 8. Are there any known issues when printing a document this large from Adobe Reader? If so, what needs to be done to correct this?
Thanks in advance for any insight you may offer!

Windows 7 Professional is our OS...I can print from my machine but it's a different printer. I'll try un and reinstalling her printer driver.
The error message just says "This document cannot be printed" or something generic like that.
Thanks for your help!

I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader with Mavericks!

I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader. I tried on both MacBook Pros we have here, both now with Mavericks. Error message says "Opening printer connection failed. Unable to open printer connection . . . " This is after it says sending data, printing, shows the percentages etc., but then at the end I get the error message above. I can print a PDF (same one) from Preview, but not from Acrobat! What's going on? Never had this issue before Mavericks . . . Please help.

Unable to print to pdf from any of my applications

Hello,
I am running Acrobat 8.0 on windows 7. Toshiba Qosmio 64 bit. I am unable to print to pdf from any of my applications. Office, Mozilla, Lotus 1-2-3 and others. When I choose the print option. And from the drop down menu choose Adobe PDF as the printer. And when I click to continue I get the little metered bar showing it's working, but then I get an error in the printer que. I don't even get an option what to save it as or where to save it to. It just goes straight to the metered bar showing its working. And it does this for all my programs where I can print to pdf. Can anyone help me? Also, this is a student version. Could the student version be unable to do this?
Thank you,
JimmyJoney

Although Acrobat 8 is not supported on Win 7, you can try a few things. First, apply all updates to Acrobat 8. If this doesn't help, check to make sure that the PDF port was created. If not, you can try:
Open Control Panel, select Printers
* Click Add a Printer
* Click Add a local printer
* Select Use an existing port (should be preselected), change the port to "Desktop \*.pdf (Adobe PDF Port), click Next
* On the next page, click Have Disk...
* Click Browse and browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF (or wherever you have Acrobat installed), click OK.
* It should now show a series of "Adobe PDF Converter" entries. Select the first one and click Next
* Change the printer name if desired, uncheck the box to use it as a default printer, click Next
* Do not print a test page, click Finish
* Find your new printer in Printers. Right click on it and select Properties, Advanced
* Click "Print directly to the printer", click OK
These last steps are detailed in the following discussion.

Unable to print to pdf from a pdf

We're having a issue where we're unable to print to pdf from a pdf with acrobat 9 std, so far a 64bit machine. We get the following errors
"the document could not be printed"
"there were no pages selected to print"
We see the issue with all pdfs. Acrobat 7 std works fine, as does printing to pdf from other applications with 9 std. So far it only effects acrobat 9 std. We've repaired the installation and updated to the latest. We do have however only see this with one machine, but we haven't looked past this one machine yet...Any ideas?
thanks all,

XP pro 64bit. Just updated to 9.3.3, still have the error being thrown.
The user fills in a form from our intranet and then prints it with the adobe printer creating the illusion that its write protected. I'm not one to stop them, given the forms are low value and all. Possibly if the process is uncomplicated (that's key here) then saving the document to the desktop and making the change and write protecting it there before transmittal might be an alternative, as long as it doesn't rely on passwords and keys...
Sorry I'm an adobe noob.
thanks,

Suddenly I'm unable to print any pdf to any of my 3 printers.

Suddenly I'm unable to print any pdf to any of my 3 printers. Running Windows 8.1. I did have Acrobat 11 installed. When i would try to print I receive the message "unable to print document". When I click OK i then get a new message stating "no pages were selected to print". However, the dialog box clearly indicates that the proper pages WERE selected to print. i finally decided to uninstall Acrobat. i reinstalled Acrobat DC and still nothing prints. The same message occurs each time. The version of Adobe Read DC I'm using is 2015.007.20033. Please help.Can'

Juanrva is correct, the kb document is of absoltuely no help. I already found the link to the KB document and performed all those suggestions. Actually, I'm a bit disappointed that I'm referred back to a troubleshooting link that I was already referred to! All of my drivers are up to date and, like Juanrva, I, too, can print from any other software or program. My issue, though, developed 2 days ago with XI. When I couldn't find a way to fix it, I uninstalled XI with the intention of reinstalling it but DC was the only install option. After installing DC i tried to print again with the same results. I then tried to print as an image and that doesn't work either. I'm tempted to say that I'd like to go back to XI but I don't think that's a good solution. There was no warning, I could print from Xi on Wednesday at 7:44 PM but could not at 8:15 PM. I didn't upload or download anything, did not install anything new and my security and anti-virus program indicates there has been no suspicious activity. In the meantime, I have people sending me PDF's daily, all of which I need to print but cannot.

Unable to print a pdf document

I have an HP Officejet 4315 All-in-One Printer and have been unable to print an pdf document. I have Adobe X installed.
How can I get the print to work on pdf documents?

How are you trying to print to pdf?
Don't go via PostScript or Acrobat Distiller, which are old deprecated technology.
You use:
Menu > File > Print > PDF (button bottom left) > Save as PDF…

Unable to print mulitple pdf docs.

Hi, I have a user who is unable to print multiple pdf's. It just prints 1 pdf out of the selected 10.
OS: Windows XP Pro
Adobe: Reader 8.1
Printer: Konica Minolta 750/600 (PCL driver)

Is this an adobe issue or printer
Any thoughts please, Thanks...

I had the same problem today with new installs of Windows 7, and Adobe Reader X. Try going to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/836/cpsid_83688.html and in Adobe Reader click on Help then the Repair link. It worked right away.
Good Luck

Unable to print after adobe update

Program says "printer must be installed before printing pdf" but printer is installed, updatd and working properly with other programs. I did a system restore (windows XP) and was able to print pef but as soon as update re-installed I was unable to print. Obvious solution is to system retore again and NOT update adobe but is there a better fix?

Hi,
I found that Adobe has released an update to Acrobat 9.4.2 for the Print Issue in the form of an EXE. I applied the fix on my system, and it seems to have fixed it.
You can download the EXE from:
