'Poster' option is greyed out in Acrobat Reader (Build: 23.6.20320.0) on macOS Sonoma

As the title reads, I'm baffled to find the 'Poster' print option being greyed out in Acrobat Reader (Build: 23.6.20320.0) on macOS Sonoma. It was available on Ventura because I'd taken printouts a few days ago. Moreover, the 'Advanced Print Setup' has also completely greyed out too. So far I've deleted/moved the preferences file but still there's no change in the status quo. Could someone help me out please? Is this a result of a bug in macOS Sonoma? I'd really appreciate your reponses.

Thanks.

All documents were printing as image. Even changing and turning off the option "print as image" in advanced print options..

I've removed and installed and old version of Adobe Reader .

My system MacOS Sonoma , I've download adobe version before sonoma.
Now it's working.

Adobe is respecting my printer options correctly

As a Mac user this is why I cannot purchase use to anything Adobe. a paid program like this is not elite if its basic features cannot be used by MAC devices.

The problem is that Adobe is not shipping a valid library (or component) that works on newer ARM devices. The solution (that I have found so far) is to run Adobe in "Rosetta" mode, basically emulating old x86 in your Apple Silicon device. Go to Applications, right click on Adobe then "Get Info". Check "Open with Rosetta". Restart Adobe, now you should be able to print as poster.

Adobe: get your /act/ together and fix this! No one is using x86 apple devices anymore.

There is no "fix" for this on MacOs 15+ that works with Adobe Reader. Download Foxit Reader, which has the option "Tile large pages" along with a "cut marks" option. I doubt this comment will be allowed, but this is my workaround.

In newest release using MacOS Sonoma You're not able to print from Acrobat unless you select print as image. If you select print as image, you can't select poster mode. Adobe software is in a tailspin for actual professionals who don't care about generative AI.

I opened my doc in Preview and selected roughly a quarter page and hit "copy" in the edit menu. Then "New From Clipboard" and printed that. Three more times and I got my page tiled. It was quick and easy and I bet you could add those little guide lines to the margins of your document and use those if you wanted reference lines and make sure you overlapped properly. I used a visual reference and overlapped slightly and it worked well for me. Not ideal, but... until there's a real professional fix...

Found this answer on another thread, which worked for me:

In the print "Advanced Print Setup" dialogue box, make sure that "print as image" is not checked.

That button is also greyed out for most Mac users. Says 'only print as image is supported' Adobe needs to fix this ASAP

ADOBE, when are you going to fix this issue? This app has been rendered useless to many in the sewing community who can no longer print using poster size. It is absolutely unacceptable that you ignore this critical issue.
