Why doesn't adobe reader print

Adobe Reader has stopped printing for me. I don't recall when the problem started, but until recently I could print easily. Now, every time I try to print any PDF file (old or new, including files I've printed before), I get his message: "The document could not be printed," followed by "There were no pages selected to print." That latter statement is always untrue. I should add that I have no trouble printing from other programs.
Today, I uninstalled Adobe Reader 11.0.08 and downloaded the program afresh. No difference when I tried to printed.
What can I do to restore the print function?

It took me a while to find how to disable the protected mode in Security
(Enhanced), but after doing that, I managed to get Adobe Reader to
print! Thanks very much--both for your good advice and for your prompt
response.

  • Why doesn't Adobe Reader let me save the editable form on my computer?

    Hello,
    I am using Adobe reader 10.1.2 I downloaded it free from the internet.
    When I download an editable PDF real estate contract from the internet and try to fill it out and save it on my desktop it doesn't let me save it. It says I can only fill it out and print it for my records.. I think it's some kind of security issue maybe?
    Does anyone know what the problem is?
    Thank you!

    The PDF form that you are trying to fill in, does not have Reader Extended rights enabled, and hence, can't be saved onto your disk with all the data. This can be done via Adobe Acrobat but not Reader.
    You can refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/3D/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7e0d.w.html for more information.

  • Why won't adobe reader print a .pdf?

    I have worked on this Mac at my job for 3 years. Much of my job is online research, and I frequently print .pdf documents, or "Open .pdf In Preview" and select pages to print.
    About 2 weeks ago I found that .pdfs would no longer print or Open In Preview.  I can still Select the content and copy it to a Word doc and repair the formatting for printing.
    But I would really like to just print the .pdf.
    How to find out what's wrong?  How to fix it?
    I have already re-installed Adobe Reader and downloaded the latest version.
    Thank you for any help.

    Hi Shayne Laughter,
    Adobe Reader is for reliably viewing, printing, and annotating PDF documents. It’s the only PDF file viewer that can open and interact with all types of PDF content, including forms and multimedia, hence we cannot print documents to PDF using this.
    Also, Preview is a default application in Mac used to view and edit images and PDFs. If you are not able to print documents to PDF then the issue is with Preview and I would suggest you to check with Apple.

  • Why doesn't Adobe Reader XI load when viewing online PDFs?

    This is probably a stupid question, but I noticed something odd last night.  I have Adobe Reader 9 on my netbook and Adobe Reader XI on my main computer.  I had been browsing some online PDF files on my netbook, and in Adobe Reader 9 I get the Reader "interface", i.e., there is the border surrounding the PDF, with the page number box at the top and I can search the document for various things.  On my main computer with Adobe Reader XI, the PDF files are simply downloading and I don't have the Reader "interface" anymore, so there's no way to search for items or go to specific pages.  Is there someplace to edit my settings in XI so that I get the interface?  Thanks so much for your help.

    Open Chrome
    In the address bar, type chrome://plugins and press Enter
    Scroll down to the entry called Chrome PDF Viewer and click Disable.
    Scroll to the Adobe Reader or Acrobat entry and click Enable.

  • Why doesn't Adobe Reader open?

    When I try to open Adobe Reader it says "An Internal Error Occurred" Then it "quits" and says "Adobe Reader Quit Unexpectedly". If you select "Reopen" it repeats the "Quit" sequence all over again.
    I removed all (5, 8, & 9) Adobe Readers from my computer and downloaded a new copy of Adobe Reader v9 and still get the same message.
    I have documents to open and need advice on what I should do. I have a MacBook Pro
    Thank you

    I'm pretty sure the solution you're looking for is here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404082.html
    If that isn't correct, then you need to dump all of the Adobe Reader and Acrobat folders from
    HD\Library\Application Support\Adobe
    HD\Library\Preferences
    Home\Library\Preferences
    Also dump:
    com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer.plist,
    com.adobe.PDFAdminSettings.plist,
    com.adobe.Reader_x86_9.0.plist,
    com.adobe.Reader.plist, and
    com.adobe.acrobat.90.sh.plist
    wherever you find them in the HD\Library\Preferences or User\Library\Preferences folders.
    Once you've done that, empty the trash, and install Reader 9.3.1.

  • Why doesn't Adobe Reader X start?

    I'm running Windows XP.  When I try to start Reader X, I receive:
    "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtine Library
    Program: c:\aol.exe
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.  Please contact the application's support team for more information."
    Any ideas?
    Steve

    1. After uninstalling did you reinstall runtime packages?
    2. Assuming that you did complete virus/malware scan after the error; could you please check and confirm in your running process (Open Windows Task Manager-> Processes Tab->Enable the check box for Show           process from all users) that anything like aol.exe is not running there.
    3. Also check there is no entry of aol in Add or Remove Programs and check if any file aol.exe exists in home directory.
    4. I found something related to this error in the following link, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884538 see if this fix anyhow fixes it

  • Adobe Reader Printing Problem

    I have a PC with Windows XP SP3. When I try to print a PDF document, I get the following message: "The document could not be printed. There were no pages selected to print." Of course, I had selected the pages to print.
    Recently, I had many problems with Adobe Reader 10, so I removed it and reloaded Adobe 9. Today, when this printing problem appeared, I did a restore on my computer, taking it back a few months. I still have the printing problem.
    Any idea what's wrong? Any idea how to fix it?

    I have Acrobat Pro 9, but the feature I am using is listed under my
    printers.
    If I go to Print, then in the drop-down list of printers, I have PDF -
    which essentially creates a new PDF document.  I don't really understand
    why it worked, but it did.  The Print - PDF is also available to Word,
    Publisher, etc.
    Hope tis works.

  • Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?

    Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?
    I'm just going through the academic purchase process. Talk about inefficient.
    Australia and New Zealand have established Access Federations which allow students and staff to use their own institutional credentials to log into web applications.
    Almost all universities and a lot of polytechs have joined these Access Federations.
    Adobe would be better off enabling federated login to prove that staff and students are who they say they are rather than use the current antique approach to validating memberships of insitutions.
    Go see www.aaf.edu.au or tuakiri.ac.nz
    regards

    Thanks for the suggestion Timu. I will pass it on.

    Why suddenly will Adobe not print a PDF file but will only save as .prn file that my computer will not recognize?  This is a new problem never experienced before.  I have tried updating all versions of Adobe Reader but still no results.

  • Why doesn't Adobe market an ereader device that supports PDF?

    Why do I have to have my books converted to epub format, when customers would just as soon read pdfs, which would be much easier for me to create? I'm told it's because Kindle and the rest of the players aren't supporting pdf. So why doesn't Adobe support it and market it as an ereader platform? They could make money with ereader devices and marketing channels that do support pdf. Adobe's response was to bring out their ereader software, but there are too many of those platforms already. PDF on the other hand has the biggest customer base in the world. Is Adobe missing out here, being focused too exclusively on software and not aware of the kind of opening Amazon jumped on? Kindle has come from nowhere to dominate the market. Adobe could have a good share by marketing a pdf reader. Granted PDF doesn't wrap lines, but if you make the pages small, to fit in an ereader window, there are a lot of advantages to having page numbers too.

    I'm also waiting for this feature.

  • Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

    Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."  I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

    Try this:
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
    Empty the trash
    Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.

  • Why does my Adobe Reader DC stop working when I click scroll down options?

    I used to use PDF Suite 2014 Standard to view pdf files.
    However, tonight a message appeared when I attempted to open files saying ..."if the document does not load then the pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document"
    I went to the website provided to download Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
    Although I was able to load pdf documents and fill in forms, the program repeatedly would crash whenever I attempted to click on scroll down options on forms.
    Any help is appreciated
    ....and talk/write slowly for I am not super computer literate.

     Dear Aedesh, Thank you for your assistance.  I did all that you instructed below, regarding uninstalling, and using the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool.  I restarted my computer, then installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (for Windows 7, English and version: Reader DC 2015). I continue to have the problems: (1) When I attempt to use a scroll down option within a pdf form, the program stops working. (2) If I send the pdf to my iPhone, and I open the pdf, I receive the message "Please wait...if the message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document..." However, when I send pdf's created earlier than 4-28-15, I am able to open in my iPhone.I am able to open on my laptop the pdf's created after 4-28-15, but have the scroll option issue  (thank you in advance for your patience)Luisa
