Users are unable to print from Adobe Reader X

Hi,
Multiple users in our environment report that they are unable to print from Adobe Reader X. They receive the following error messages (translated from Dutch) Document cannot be printed. There are no pages selected.
We are using Reader version 10.1.3
What we have tried to resolve the issue (without any positive results):
- Repair the installation of Adobe Reader.
- Update Adobe Reader to the latest version for Vista (x86) (10.1.7)
- Created new user profile for the affected users.
The documents can be printed without any errors from Foxit Reader.
At the moment we use the following workaround:
Open the document in Internet Explorer, and then print the document from there.
Does anyone have any idea how we can resolve this?
Best regards,
Duncan

James,
I'm sorry to hear that you were having the same problem under 9.5.  I had recently updated to Adobe Reader 10 under Windows 7 and yesterday my "default printer" simply disappeared from the options on my control panel.  I re-installed my printer, but today whenever I would open a PDF document and try to print it, the document would simply close with no further ado.  After a bit of trial and error, I ended up uninstalling Adobe Reader 10 and going back to Adobe Reader 9.5.  Now everything is working just fine.

    Is it possible to restrict certain users from printing from Adobe Reader?

    First of all, with Reader you can't change any security settings.
    If you have Acrobat, then you could place a password on changing the document (which includes printing), and then give it to only some users.

  • Can't print from Adobe Reader X

    Whenever I try to print from Adobe Reader I get the message "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close." The error signature is:
    AppName: acrord32.exe
    AppVer: 10.1.2.45
    ModName: acrord32.exe
    ModVer: 10.1.2.45
    Offset: 0005e985
    It does not matter if a PDF file ois on the web and it opens as a web page or if I open a file that is alreadty on my comuter.
    I tested printing from an older version of Adobe Reader and it does not create a problem (that version is coming up when I download files that
    are on my Cloud server.
    What is the solution, if any?

    Kindly try the workaround available at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/928/cpsid_92870.html and this should help resolve the problem
    Thanks,

  • In Windows 8 environment--can't print from Adobe reader

    Hi there. I have problems printing from Adobe reader in a Windows 8 environment. The printing defaul is "OneNote", and I can't get to the print screen to change it to my normal printer. When you try to print (with button or Ctrl-P) the print screen opens for a split second and then Adobe reader closes.
    I would like to disable "OneNote" as the default, but can't get the print screen to stay open long enough for me to select my regular printer. I would be grateful for advice. I am sure there is an easy fix--I just don't know what it is. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe reader, so i was able to print for the rest of that one day. Nest day--back to square one.
    Thanks.

    Did all the updates thru 8.1.7.  Now it tells me to print the document I need to activate Adobe which I did when I installed it.  Under the Help screen the activation tab is greyed out.  If I did de-activate it on my old laptop I don’t think it would change the state of this tab.

  • Exported pdf from indesign drops punctuation when printed from adobe reader

    Is Adobe Reader installed on the same computer Adobe Acrobat is?

  • Printing from Adobe Reader

    Since updating Mac OS X to Version 10.6.6, I can't print from Adobe Reader. I have read other recent posts with similar problems, but have not located an adequate response. I have updated Driver Software from HP. The problem is inconsistent. Sometimes one or two pages will print from a multi-page document. More often nothing will print... "Sending data to printer" Nada. Printer goes offline. It's always been touch and go with Adobe Reader, as well as printing from Safari, but never as bad as this. I used to save documents from Safari as PDF's so they would be easier to print. Not anymore! Any ideas?

    +I used to save documents from Safari as PDF's so they would be easier to print. Not anymore!+
    Why not? I only use that Reader when I'm forced to. Simply do a Command + I on any PDF document and, in the resulting window, choose Preview under "Open with:" and then click on "change all" underneath. That will make Preview the default app for PDFs and it works like a charm.

    Installed a Windows 8.1 update yesterday; now computer freezes when trying to print from Adobe Reader XI.  Still can print a word document from MS Word.

    Was already running latest version 11.0.10.  Tried the re-load fix; tried uninstalling and installing a new one from the web.  Problem still exists -- cannot print any document from Adobe Reader XI.  Computer freezes when the print file is being prepared at 0%.

  • Decoding 2D barcode on forms printed from Adobe Reader

    We use LiveCycle Designer 8 in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro to create forms, which are then opened, completed and printed using Adobe Reader, then signed by the user and mailed back.
    We believe we can put a 2D paper forms barcode on the form, but if filled in by Adobe Reader the data gets encrypted and so cannot be scanned (though if completed by Acrobat, the data is not encrypted - unfortunately most customers do not have Acrobat)
    We heard that you could buy software or a hardware device to enable the received printed forms to be scanned and the 2D data decoded - is this correct still?
    Thanks

    In regards to the Decoder, this is a piece of software that does the actual decoding of the barcode from a printed and scanned form (or faxed). It can decode barcodes from both TIFF and PDF documents.
    If you are using a high-speed scanning solution then you more than likely have a decoder built into your solution. If not, then the decoder is an ideal add-on solution. In fact, with the new Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms ES you can not only decode but you can integrate the data right into your existing workflow quite easily.

  • Unable to Print with Adobe Reader 9

    I just installed the free Adobe Reader 9. After opening a PDF document and attempted to print, I received an alert from Adobe Reader stating that there are no printers installed.
    This is not the case, there are several network printers installed and I'm able to print to them using other applications, such as Word, Browsers, etc.
    Anyone have any ideas before I uninstall this beast of a reader?
    Thanks!!

    My machine has been fine since I last reinstalled adobe reader 9. Tried to print a large pdf file today from my inbox in outlook express and machine again experienced the same problem. Was not able to open my printer and faxes window and unable to print anything else. I resolved the problem by taking the following actions:
    Opened Administrative tools in control paneland went to Component Services and clicked on Services(local).Scrolled window down to Print spooler and highlighted Print spooler. Tried to Stop the service. After some time received an error 1053 indicating that the service could not be stopped successfully.
    I then Tried to restart the service. This appeared to work correctly. at this point tried to reopen printer and faxes window and could now see my printers briefly before getting error msg indicating spooler problem again. When clicking on my printer icon I could see the document that I had tried to print when I experience the original problem in the printer queue. At this point decided to try and find the file in question. Found a file in C:\windows\system32\spool\printers directory with an filename of xxxxx.spl. This is the spooler print file. I then tried to delete this file but was not allowed to do so by the system. I then used a program called unlocker assistant and deleted the file. Hey presto all printing is now restored and working well again.
    It appears that the spool file generated was corrupted and the spooler could not handle the problem. Am not sure where the problem is created. It could be with adobe 9 or it could be a windows spooler problem.

  • Printing from Adobe Reader X; file turns to "Print" file (*.prn).

    When I try to print a PDF file from Adobe Reader X, the system presents me with a "SAVE" window with the PDF file renamed as a "Print" File (*.prn).  I am unable to print this.  However, if I locate the file in a folder, and click on it, then click "Print" from the drop-down menu, the file prints correctly.
    Has anyone else had this problem, and what can be done to correct it?
    I'm using Windows XP Professional on a slightly older IBM compatable computer.

    In the print dialog disable the entry 'Print to File'.
