adobe printing problem

Hello all!!

I'm having problems printing from adobe 8.12. It says while I have a PDF file opened that "unable to start print job. Is printer available" message. I can print from word and excel but not from adobe reader 8.0? why not? any suggestions would be helpful, thanks in advance.

    I could not get a cleanup utility to work.

    So instead I found this free acrobat reader program and made it my default. Works fine. It's open source.

    Use the free open source acrobat solution that I mentioned in my previous post Make it your default reader. Let us know if it resolves your problem.

    Hi!

    I am also having a posting/printing problem. I created a report in Access and export it into pdf using Acrobat 8 Professional. The report is 1,500+ pages for over 300 stores in a retail chain. I plan on emailing the entire pdf report to my customer to post to their intranet site.

    I am wondering if there is a way to force the 300+ intranet users to enter their store number (3 digits) so only 10 + pages appear, not all 1,500+ pages. Otherwise, these folks will print all 1,500 pages.

    Thanks,
    Gracy
