Adobe Reader 9.1 Cannot print - No pages were selected

Start Adobe Acrobat Reader from programs menu -> open the PDF file you want to print --> Print.

same issue - nothing would print from version 10 Adobe reader, but prints OK from WORD and Excel.

deleted the adobe version 10 install, and then installed an older version 9 from

http://www.oldapps.com/adobe_reader.php?app=F41AA5DEC8C9137B2FF4174EC47D8129

and now the adobe files print fine, no problem.

Must be something wrong in the version 10.....

My OS is WIndows 7 ultimate, with service pack 1.

I have the same problem, on Mac OS. It is quite disappointing actually, as upgrade should not require reinstalling or disabling other devices for the purpose of printing.   It does work when you specify it as an 'image', but I guess it should not be necessary for a 'soft tool' i.e. Adobe.

Print as image was greyed out.  What worked was using Chrome instead of Firefox.

In my case all PDF were printing except couple of them which were created through AutoCAD software. I resolved the issue by Optimizing the PDF files via Adobe Acrobat Professional. File>Save As> and selecting Optimized PDF.

One more way of going around this problem was to open PDF in Google Chrome by dragging and dropping it to Chrome browser and using Chrome's print feature.

Probable cause in my case was "Unrecognizable Text or Symbols" in one or more of the layers in the document.

Hope it helps, Cheers

I just today had that same frustrating message appear when I tried to print.  I closed the app and reopened which prompted me to re-enter the serial code and sign-in with my adobe ID again.  (btw, this happens because when I installed Adobe CC, I used a different Adobe ID then with the Adobe CS6 install...so the conflict occasionally requires the serial code to be re-entered).  Anyway, mine works fine now.  Thought maybe this information could help some of you.

Having tried all suggested solutions with no luck, I downloaded Foxit reader and hey presto I could print it from that very quickly without any problems. I would rather not have put more software on my system but could not waste anymore time trying to print one 2 page document.

Guys, Girls:

I encountered exactly this same problem today - "The document could not be printed. There were no pages selected."

It took me about 3 minutes to fix it.  It appears to me that this problem actually has very little (if anything) to do with Adobe products, and everything to do with correct selection of the "Default Printer" within the Windows OS.

I'm using Windows 7 Pro.  I went to the 'Devices and Printers' menu, selected the printer that I wanted to print the PDF to (by this, I mean the conventional paper printer), selected 'Printer Properties' from the right-click menu, and then pressed the 'Print a Test Page' button.  Nothing printed, so, I launched the Printer Troubleshooter that comes with Windows.

Seems that I had updated the driver for the (paper) printer, and the wrong driver was active.  I re-selected the paper printer that I wanted to print my PDF to, set that as the 'Default Printer', and printed a test page - this time the test page printed.  I then went back into the Adobe PDF application and selected the print command again - this time, my PDF printed out on paper as I wanted it to.

So, bottom line, I think the cause of this problem is inappropriate selection (configuration) of the default printer in the Windows operating system.  I recommend that anyone having this "The document could not be printed. There were no pages selected." problem first try to print a page from some other application (WordPad, NotePad, Microsoft Word, whatever) and see if your printer works from that other application.  If not, then you will know it is a printer selection problem, not an Acrobat problem.

I just encountered the same error with Adobe Reader X. It resulted from me disabling "Client for Microsoft Networks" on the LAN connection whilst investigating a network issue. Re-enabled "Client for Microsoft Networks" and I can again print PDFs from Reader X.

I didn't believe it, so disabling stopped Reader X printing again, re-enabling it started.

What is the connection here?

I had this problem relatively recently and only when printing from adobe reader.  Since I can print from other applications I tried printing pdfs from photoshop CS3 which I happened to have installed.  The document printed without any problems.   That makes me think something in Adobe Reader in a relatively recent update must have caused my problems.  I'm currently on version 9.4.4.  I'm using Windows 7 prof 64 bit and have the latest driver installed for my hp laserjet p2055dn printer.  Using Photoshop isn't a permanent answer but it did get me out of trouble.  I'm going to try to find a free alternative to Reader now.
