Why can't I print out downloaded PDF files?

Such as medical forms, tax forms... It's making me INSANE. I purchased "Reader" among many other Adobe products, but still all I get is the word "error" in my printer queue.

Assuming that you're talking about printing from Adobe Reader for iPad or iPhone, you either (1) need an AirPrint-enabled printer, or (2) (for the iPad only), purchase a third party app like Printer Pro from Readdle.
Here's a list of AirPrint-enabled printers:

  • Why can't I print out a PDF file when I am on Firefox? It takes me to Preview to print instead of staying on Firefox.

    When I go to a website that has a PDF file and try to print it, it sends me to Preview and when I try to print, the computer freezes up. This does not happen on Safari. Why can't I print a PDF file when I am on Firefox?

    To print a PDF, you need to use the print command from the PDF reader plugin instead of firefox's one. If there is no icons bar in the plugin, try right-click on a page from the pdf -> Print.

  • Why can I not print out a pdf-file (train ticket NS) when downloaded with Firefox? (file says (SECURED)

    When ordering and paying a train ticket by internet they send a pdf-file, which one must download and print. When downloading this with Firefox (from my e-mail account) the pdf-file says (SECURED) and I cannot print out the ticket (pdf-file). (Adobe program stops automatically).
    When downloading this same pdf-file in Safari, I encounter no problems.

    Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader application or set to "Always Ask" in "Firefox > Preferences > Applications".

  • Why can't I print or download PDF files?

    I had Adobe Reader, and all was working fine.  Once I downloaded the trial of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, the opening and printing of PDF files became much slower, and now, I am unable to print PDF documents, and downloading or opening of PDFs from the web often doesn't work (seems to freeze up).  What's going on?

    I'm interested in the answer to this, as I am also having very similar problems.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat (we had XI) (in case of file corruption); I've checked if there's an update for our printer (a Brother) and installed it;
    We can print any Word document we like, but no matter what I try, I cannot print any PDF file. A message comes up saying "the document could not be printed".
    As we are a small business I'd appreciate a swift reply.
    Thanks

  • Why can't I open or download PDF files in Firefox

    Why can't I open or download PDF files in Firefox.  In Safari PDF files open automatic.  Firefox won't open anything.

    Does this help?

    Why can't I print from my Adobe PDF Pack

    PDF Pack has nothing to do with printing. That continues to be part of Adobe Reader and is not affected by it.

  • Why doesn't Preview print out my pdf forms as edited anymore?

    A week ago, I was able to print out a pdf form  the way it was editted on the screen using Preview. As of Wednesday, it no longer prints what I have editted in Preview.  It prints the naked, empty form only. No edits.  I have Mountain Lion and am using an hp deskjet 6122.

  • Why can't I fill out a PDF in Adobe Reader and email it with the saved information?

    When I fill out a PDF in Adobe Reader and "Save As" to desktop the filled out information goes blank when I attach it to an email. Additionally, I can't save to word or excel except for online. What can I do to fix this?

    Try using Adobe Reader XI (fully updated).

  • Why can't I print out google maps on my hp photosmart premium c410?

    I'm set up wireless and it works good except when I try to print out a map from google maps and sometimes from yahoo maps. Can someone help with this? I also have a hp 1350 all in one I have to usb plug in when printing from google maps. I'm running win7 64bit home premium.

  • Why can I not make comments on pdf files?

    OK this has been driving me nuts for a couple years now.  I used to have an earlier versison of Acrobat Reader (5.0 maybe?) where I could freely highlight and make comments throughout the document--very easy and straightforward.  When I got a new computer I had to go version 9--and now I cannot highlight, undlerline, comment or do ANYTHING at all with the text--on the very SAME documents I used to do this on (and on new ones as well).  Commenting is never allowed on ANY .pdf file I have.  WHY has Adobe done this????   Do I have to upgrade to some commercial version or what?  Frustrated as hell with this huge step backwards that completely limits my ability to find information in documents quickly.

    You probably didn't have Reader before, but Acrobat, which is the non-free
    version that allows you to create PDF files and to make comments. With
    Reader, you can only create comments if this was specifically allowed by the
    creator of the PDF. If you want this functionality you will other need to
    ask the creator of your files to enable commenting in Reader, or buy
    Acrobat.
