When I Print a PDF, Adobe Reader X Prints Doc As A Very Small Version

I have a Lexmark Interact S605 All In One Printer. When I scan documents as a pdf, and go to print, the actual document does not even fill the page. In fact it's a very small version of the document in the middle of the page. How do I somehow change the Page Scaling to "Fit To Printable Area?" It's embarrassing when I send these documents out to clients and they come back to me and say that these pdfs are very small on the page and do not even come close to filling up the entire page as a pdf should. Are there settings that I can change so that when I print a pdf, it will Fit To Printable Area each time??? Thank you in advance for any help on this question. [email protected]

Try deleting the Adobe plugin and use the built in Preview. Hard drive level Library/Internet Plugins. If it isn't there, check your user Library.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library.

When I receive, scan or print a .pdf, Adobe Reader shows a dark screen, so I can't see the doc. If I print it, it usually prints correctly, but what happened to the print and scan preview screen?

Adobe Reader X: print to HP Plotter only on A4 Paperformat possible

Hi,
after installing Adobe Reader X I cannot print any other paper format than A4 to my HP designjet Plotter 750c (E/A0).
Changing Paper Format in printer driver has no effekt in the printing dialog of Adobe Reader X.
Printing from Adobe Reader X to my other Printer Ricoh MPC2050 I can change between A5 to A3 without Problems.
With the old version Adober Reader 9.xx this was no problem and I could print all paper formats HP750c Plotter supports.
Adobe Reader X runs hier on a Windows XP system. Other software like autocad works well with HP750c Plotter with als supported paper formats.
HP Plotter Designjet 750c driver for Windows XP has version 4.65 (latest german version on HP website)
Has anybody any Ideas, where there ist the Problem?
Thanks for your help

I have just found this post and am still experiencing this problem, still, even after updating to 10.1, and still trying the disabling of Protected Mode at startup. I am running Windows 7, 32bit version. I am trying to print to an HP 4500 series plotter, on ARCH size D (24x36). Once I set all of my settings and hit print, I receive two dialogue boxes. One says "The document could not be printed." Once you click "OK", a second box pops up that says, "There were no pages selected to print." However, under "Print Range", I had "All" selected.
All worked fine before updating to Acrobat X.
Thank you in advance for your help.

We are trying to implement a process so that any document that needs to be printed through our Java application will be printed as PDF using Adobe Reader. For which, We created and execute the below command line to call Adobe Reader and print the PDF on a printer."C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /T "\\<Application Server>\Report\<TEST.PDF>" "<Printer Name>". Current Situation: The above command line parameter when executed is working as expected in a User's Workspace. When executed in a command line on the Application Server is working as expected. But, the same is not working while executing it from Deployed environment.Software being used: 1. Adobe 11.0 enterprise version. 2. Webshpere Application Server 8.5.5.2. Please let us know if there is a way to enable trace logs in Adobe Reader to further diagnose this issue.

This is the Acrobat.com forum. Your question will have a much better chance being addressed in the Acrobat SDK forum.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

when i print a pdf from preview it prints strange characters - it looks fine on screen

You can also try opening the PDF with preview, then doing a copy and paste to TextEdit and printing from there.
Adobe makes it easier, but you do have software to accomplish this.
Only download Adobe reader from this site, to avoid "fakes/spoofs/malware" that will cause damage to your machine.

Adobe Reader X - Print Issues

Hi - I've searched the forums for a likely answer but came up with a blank.
We have updated to Adobe Reader X and when we print a pdf, the actual words print as a series of randon numbers and letter. We print to an HP Photosmart All in One Printer. However when we print to a Cannon Printer, it's OK. Can anyone throw light on this for us as it's proving to be a nightmare.
Cheers

Thanks v much Twilight - once I had posted the question I saw the same issues were posted by another.
I'll try the print as image under the advanced print tab and see how I get on with that. Hopefully Adobe will bring out a fix soon.
Thanks again.

Having nav buttons outside print area in adobe reader

I am building a parts manual and want my nav buttons off to the side of the 8.5"x11" document in sidebars. Easy to accomplish in Indesign but when exported to pdf , the print feature in Adobe reader prints the total width of the document. I want the customer when select print to just print the center frame (no nav buttons)and not have to set up crops etc for printing. Ive seen parts manuals like this and am having a hard time accomplishing this myself. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is link to an example of this pdf

Thank you in advance

Just set their visibility to "Visible, but doesn't print".

Adobe Reader X Printing Error with HP 5p

I recently updated to Adobe Reader X and now my printer won't print any PDFs. I can print the same PDF with Adobe 9 on another computer so it is not the printer. It prints and error page saying:
"This job requires more memory then is available in this printer.
Try one or more of the following, and then print agian:
     For the output format, choose Optimize For Portability.
     In the Device Settings page, make sure the Available PostScript Memory is accurate.
     Reduce the number of fonts in teh document.
     Print the document in parts."
I have tried all of the these and still get the same error message. I am glad I still have a copy of reader '9' that I will reinstall, but I hope someone at Adobe will fix this bug in 'X'.

I'm having the exact same problem. My document is a one-page item distributed by the federal government, so theoretically no problems within it that would give the public problems. I found a similar message about this in Adobe's forums where the person was told they should not have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Adobe Reader 10 installed at the same time. Well removing Acrobat is dangerous, because when I installed Adobe Dreamweaver CS5, an expensive Web design tool, its installer said Acrobat was required for Dreamweaver to function. And one more thing: This effor message we're getting talks about going to the Device Settings page and making sure the Available PostScript Memory is accurate. I can't find a Device Settings page. I've even Googled the Web to find out what it might be; no luck!!

Printing issues with Adobe Reader

I am having a problem printing from my Adobe Reader 9. When I print from a PDF the print is backwards.

I'm getting the same issue on some of the computers at my work.
We're all using Acrobat Standard 8.2.2 and Windows 7.
I'm not 100% whether the files have been created in In Design but they certainly look like they probably have.
Seems like Acrobat 8 (and various updates since) are not very compatible with Windows 7. I've been having plenty of headaches since we upgraded the operating systems 2 weeks ago.

Adobe Reader X prints large black spots in large documents

I have a user with Windows XP SP3 and Adobe Reader X. When he prints a catalog with images, it randomly prints large black spots throughout the document. If I print one of the individual pages that had black spots, it prints fine. Are there any known issues that would cause this or does anyone have any suggestions? He is printing to a Toshiba eStudios 5520c copier. No one else has the problem printing to this printer but, he is the only one using Adobe Reader to print catalogs to this printer. Everyone else printing catalogs to this printer use at least Adobe Pro of some version (the versions differ between users). I have increased the size of the page file and reinstalled the printer driver. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for providing the information.
Could you please try and reinstall the printer driver on this user's machine and see if it solves the issue.
Also, do all PDFs with images produce the same output from this user's machine?
Would it be possible for you to share any such PDF? I have sent you my email address as a Private Message.

Adobe Reader X Printing symbols

I upgraded from adobe reader 9 to Adobe Reader X a few weeks ago. Since then, around half the time, when printing a PDF, my printer prints symbols such asŒŸ
and this: al;fgh!!MMDig!!g!fgjN bz!31-!3119!!!shtluh!sdoiguh!
Is this a common problem with X, and what is the solution? Thanks.

Good day Todd,
Typically when you see intermittant printing problems, the issue lies with the files, not with Reader. That said, be sure to update to Reader 10.0.2. Also, check the PDF Producer of the files your user is trying to print. This can be found by opening File > Properties. If the file was not made using Adobe software, it may not print properly from Adobe Reader.
Thanks,
David
