Why can't I print a pdf?

I just installed a new HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer. I am able to print from every program except for Adober Reader. I had version 9 and it wouln't recognize that I had a printer installed at all. I upgraded to version 10 and now I can see the printer and select it, but when I click print nothing happens.

2 places to check:
Edit>Preferences>Documents. Select "Never" for View documents in PDF/A mode.
Under Security/Enhanced, Disable Protected Mode.

Why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

Don't know! You'll have to give us more details of what's happening when you try. Can you print other documents OK? When you try to print, does the printer icon appear in the dock - click on it and see if there are any printer messages.

Why can I not print a PDF from an email?

Why can I not print a PDF from an email any longer?

Can you explain in better detail?
Is it when you open the file attachment and attempt to Print?
Is it right-mouse clicking and attempting to Print?
Is it when you print the email itself and expect the attachment to Print?

why can't I print a pdf file, it's asking for a password and I have no idea what it is it never asked for one before?

Good afternoon SaraThanks for responding. Yes, I have been able to open these files before without a password. Funny thing is it is happening on both my husband's laptop as well as mine. I'd appreciate any help you could give me but the file is very personal. So, if you can assist in a way that won't compromise the security I would be grateful for your help.Thanks and have a great day!Kim Morse

Why can I not print a pdf document?

I have Adobe Reader installed on my iMac with Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.2, but cannot print any pdfs. Why not?

Don't know. What happens when you try? Can you open the document in Preview and print from there? Can you print from other applications?

What happen ?why can't i print a pdf any longer ?? very very frustrated uninstalled reinstalled 3 times ??????????

What happened ? Why can I no longer print PDF on my mac pro???????? Uninstalled reinstalled 3 times very very frustrated

I cant print anything now from my computer to my hp printer. Never had this happen until November or December. Then it seemed to be OK. now today I cant print one thing. not from my gmail, or the Matrix portal I use as a realtor. My office partner is connected to the same printer and his is fine. Mine prints nothing. All I get is a print screen that says loading preview... and the .. keep moving and nothing ever shows up. If I try to to to a PDF (which is the only way we could print anything after some update last fall from the Matrix portal) it just spins ... and nothing happens . WE use to be able to print without having to save everything to a download and that changed. now I cant print anything. I need help fast.... I can't get my work done at all and I'm getting very frustrated.
I uninstalled the adobe reader and re-installed it and nothing helps. We have 2 others printers in our office and it wont let me print to them either or allow me to save it as a PDF so I can print it out that way.;
I need HELP!!! Can't work this way and not sure what happened to cause this problem as things were fine earlier today.

Why can't I print a PDF document?

when trying to print a PDF document I get the error message " unable to print document". Sometimes also includes "No pages are selected''.
I'm using an HP laptop and OS Windows 7.
I have tried selecting all document,and printing it as image, I have checked that there are no security locks on the document. I have been through the forum several times searching for answers and still I cannot print a PDF.
Advice please on what other steps I can take.

Pat Willener,
Many thanks for the helpful suggestions. . Sean Mitchell's suggestion of
repairing Adobe reader via the help menu did the trick. I have been able to
print several PDF documents after following his suggestion.
Very many thanks for the assistance

Why can't I print my pdfs out of the InDesign Trial Version CS4?

HELP !! I can’t print out the Pdfs I made with i the Adobe InDesign CS4 Version. Can’t even save the document as eps. and a printer spooler file it won’t do either due “to unknown error”.
Is there something wrong with the trial version? Printing disenabled?
Need help urgently cause the documents need to go to the printer.
Thank you, slightly panicing ;( help help help

I don't think the OP is trying to print to PDF -- it says they can't print OUT the PDF they've made.
That said, this is definietly an issue on the system, not a trial limitiation.
How about providing some system specs, please?

Why can't I print to PDF from other document types when I'm on a wireless connection?

Example: When I'm on a wireless connection and attempt to print a Powerpoint file to PDF, the document remains in the Adobe Acrobat PDF printer queue in a status of "Error..Printing". I do not have this issue when I'm on a wired internet connection. My only option when converting documents to PDF while on wireless is to select "Save As" and save as a .pdf file type. This option does not maintain all of the formatting of the original file, so my preference is to print to pdf.

Interesting. What happens if you open Acrobat and select:
Acrobat 9: File > Create PDF > From File
Acrobat 11: File > Create > PDF from File

Why can't I print this .pdf out?

I'm using Windows 7 (64-bit) with a Canon Pixma MG5250. I've got some .pdfs that I need to print out, but all that shows when I click on the Printer icon is this:
With the file open the "Print" screen shows only part of the long box at the centre, and only the top half of the drop-down box.
I have downloaded and installed Acrobat Reader today.
Can anyone help?

What happens if you open up the pdf file wait about 5-10 seconds and then print?
I have had problems with Reader X where it seems like it is loading something in memory and if you try to print or save right away, it just hangs.

Why can i only print a .pdf as a "landscape"?

This seems to be the problem with just this one .pdf document: others seem to behave. To wit, regardless that Adobe Reader's Print Setup is configured either for Landscape or Portrait, and regardless of whether my Brother laser printer is configured for Portrait or Landscape, the .pdf will print as Landscape. Any thoughts on this?

Don't know. What happens when you try? Can you open the document in Preview and print from there? Can you print from other applications?

Why can't I print a PDF as a PDF?

Hi,
I'm trying to use some features in the print dialogue of Acrobat Pro 9 (split the document onto multiple pages).
The problem is that I have to save it as a PDF. But if I want to call the action "Save as Adobe PDF" in the print dialogue I get the message that it is not supported to save a PDF during printing.
The exact message is "Das Speichern einer PDF-Datei während des Druckens wird nicht unterstützt. Wählen Sie stattdessen "Datei" > "Speichern"."
Own translation of this german message: "Saving a PDF file while printing is unsupported. Choose "File" > "Save" instead."
Someone here who knows a solution?

Why can't I print a PDF in Illustrator CC for the Mac-Yosemite?

I've tried PPDs and Save as mentioned here. Nothing works. I get blank PDFs. This worked fine on the PC, but as soon as I switched to Mac I get no PDFs in illustrator. I need this functionality. Thanks in advance for your help.

If both file >> save as >> .pdf work f and printer to the pdf writer are not working try reinstalling/upating acrobat.
If you have distiller try reprinter to a .ps file, and distilling that to a .pdf.
What is the fils size on your .pdfs are they really low as if empty?
