Adobe has stopped printing layered files

I just downloaded adobe reader today to access layered sewing pattern files. The first few layered files i printed were fine. Then, it started only printing the instructions portion, but then not printing the layered portion (the pattern itself). I tried multiple files, to include one that had printed correctly earlier today. I also tried deleting and then redownloading the files themselves, as well as adobe itself (then reinstalled). Nothing works. I haven't changed any settings. I don't get it. I'm printing via wifi to a brother laser printer. It does send to the printer, and the printer icon appears on my mac, and says "printing page 1), but nothing happens. Arghghhh. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
