Why can I no longer print pdf files?

So, I had Vista and updated last night to Windows 7 Professional. I did this because I have been unable to print pdf files for the past 8 to 9 months and got tired of forwarding to another computer to print. Prior to that, no issues printing from any program including reader. In the meantime, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Reader at least 4 times. Checked all my settings (won't even print as image only) and I still get blank pages. When I choose print my computer performs the funtion, but the Adobe "progress" bar doesn't count up from 1 to 100 numerically. It starts at 1 and then jumps to 50 or 100. My printer initializes and then nothing but blank pages. I don't know what else to try so any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, plain old English would be helpful. I used to be good at this, but...now just ok.
Thanks in advance

I do not need advice!
I have given up.
I can C I'm having it easy compared to every one else in here.
My pdf fioles need 10-15 over and over prints and still it's no good.
Reading all this stuff is soo exhausting.
And now I spend hours looking and adjusting stuff to print a pdf file.
I'm not in Grade 8!
I just had to say this, Sorry.

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer. Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
spooling".
I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
"Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
bank statement.
So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
TO PRINT THEM.
NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.

There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

Can no longer print PDF files on C310.

Morning,
have a HP C310. Used to work fine... Frustratingly it no longer prints PDF files.
I've uninstalled everything and reinstalled it.
Updated drivers.
Tried the print as an image.
Prints other documents fine.
When I try and print a PDF file it seems like the printer is just ignoring the request.
Any further suggests before I through it out the window and buy a printer that works.....
Thanks in advance,
Daren

Hmm... OK, I happen to have the same printer (on wireless LAN) and OS and it prints fine for me....
Are you printing from File, Print or from the printer icon? I recall that Adobe applications may have their own version of what the default printer is. If using the printer icon try instead with File, Print and make sure the c310 is selected as the printer. Also check the Advanced settings in the print menu. In my case all the boxes are unchecked (except the grayed-out selection for downloading Asian fonts in the postscript box).
One other thing to check would be to open the print spooler and then print a PDF and make sure that a print job does show up and then disappear from the spooler.

Why can't IOS users create PDF files anymore?

WHy can I no longer create PDF documents from my IPad? I used to be able to use this feature, now it is gone! Why can't IOS users access this feature?

Hi Timo,
The Create PDF feature is part of Adobe PDF Pack (the paid subscription service) and is used to convert a non-PDF file format to PDF.
I see that the "Getting Started" PDF document is opened in the screenshot above. You cannot convert a PDF document to a PDF document.
The error message is trying to tell you that you need to open the "supported format" (e.g. Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, RTF) then tap Create PDF to convert it to a PDF document.
Please take a look at the following document about Adobe PDF Pack (which also includes Export PDF).

Do you actually want to covert a document to PDF using Create PDF? If not, please let us know what you are trying to do so that we can assist you. Thank you.

Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) to iTunes??

Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) into Itunes? Seemed to work perfectly well before the latest upgrade. Feeling quite annoyed, especially when all the forums seem to give the same advice, which no longer seems to work!! Please can someone help! Uploading a file should not be this difficult!!!

Make sure you have the Quicktime Player 7 installed. It was an option when installing Lion. Or you can get it here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later. Install it, reboot and try again.

Why can't I download a pdf file using internet explorer as my browser. I can download pdfs using firefox.

Gilad D,
Thanks for the support.
I would guess the plugin is enabled since when I use Foxfire as my browser, all pdfs download and are readable. (just doesn’t happen when I use IE as my browser, I get a blank screen with a small “x” in the upper left corner)
I will try your proposed solution.

With the free Reader if they are not print protected. With Acrobat otherwise.

Can't download or print pdf files

All of a sudden I can't download or print pdf files from Safari. When I try to download the file it says it can't export and then gives file name. I tried changing the file name with the same result. When I try to print, I just get a single blank page. I have reinstalled Safari. I thought it might be a problem with Adobe reader, but that works outside of Safari I did just install reader 10.1.3 and that is when I noticed the problem, but I reinstalled 10.1.1 and still have the same problem. Please help!!
Thanks
Scott

Thank You !!! Even I had the same problem... I used Folx downloader evry time to download the PDF file and open it using preview . Thanks You So much DN Scott & Scorbett.

Why can't I open any PDF files ?

Why can't I open any PDF files ?

I am running Safari Version 5.1.5 (6534.55.3) on my iMac 10,1. After my last Adobe update, my pdf files are nothing but a black window. Have tried reverting to an earlier version of Adobe, but still getting a black window. What next steps should I take? Thanks.

I downloaded the Acrobat 11 trial and I can open the product. During the install it deleted the existing print driver and did not install a new print driver so I CAN Not create and print pdf files.

What OS? Have you tried a repair and updates from the HELP menu? The updates may be the key.

I can no longer print pdf files

When I select a PDF file to print
First "Print to File" pops-up
Next "output file name" box opens
This all changed when I downloaded 8.1.2 . First all of 8.0 was not removed. I did that. I uninstalled 8.1.2 more than once. I even changed to firefox from IE 7.
I am not a computer person. I do need to be able to print pdf files
I will take any help. Keep it simple, please!
I use Windows XP Home sp2

I am a mac OS X 10.4.11 user and I have adobe acrobat 8 professional. Recently, I am unable to print pdfs. I can open them to read, but when I send them to the printer they won't print. The printer icon just jumps then nothing happens.
I tried switching printers, from a HP 990cse to a Cannon pixma iP4300 however that doesn't help either. Same result (or rather lack of results).
Any thoughts on what is wrong?
Thanks
Gail

Why can't I open/see PDF files that are embedded in an email or sent through the internet?

I can read/see PDF files that are attached to an email, but I can't see/read them if they are embedded in an email or sent through the internet.

I have a similar problem. I can open, read, and save PDF files, but I can't view my online bank statement on my Mac. The statement opens automatically if I use a PC, but on my Mac the page says I need Adobe Reader to view my statement. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader. The problem seems to be that that the plugin only goes to the Libray. It doesn't get installed into Safari or into FireFox either.
