Pdf Printing, Keeps on saying "there were no pages selected".

All of sudden I can no longer print PDF documents.  Keeps on saying "there were no pages selected". The printer that I am using is epson 15000 converted to sublimation. I recently installed the Hiipoo ICC profile. I am trying to select that profile when printing so the colors come more vivid and true. The document is made of several images that I created and downloaded from Canva. The doc was downloaded as “printing off quality”. I saw one solution was to clink on “print as image”, but if I do that the icc profile for Hiipoo ink won’t get applied correct?

@karen_7921 It sounds like the issue might be related to how Adobe Acrobat is interpreting the image-based PDF in conjunction with the newly installed ICC profile for your Epson 15000 sublimation printer. The "no pages selected" error could arise if Acrobat is struggling to recognize the individual images within the PDF as printable content, especially after the ICC profile installation, which might have altered some system-level printing configurations. Instead of solely relying on the "print as image" option (which bypasses color management), try this: Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat, go to File > Print, select your Epson 15000 printer, and then click on "Advanced" print settings. Within the advanced settings, look for a "Color Management" section. Here, instead of directly selecting the Hiipoo ICC profile in the main print dialog, see if you can choose "Color Handling: Let Printer Determine Colors" or a similar option that allows the printer driver to manage the color conversion using the installed ICC profile. You might need to access the printer's specific driver settings (often a button next to the printer selection) to ensure the Hiipoo ICC profile is selected there. This approach allows the printer driver to interpret the image data and apply the ICC profile, potentially resolving the "no pages selected" error while still benefiting from your desired color accuracy.
