Unable to print from Acrobat Reader - prints come out as blank

Have you checked if the folder path location is too long? I had a similar issue which prints blank because PDF file is in deep subfolder. Opening it via chrome browser prints but not on desktop app. moved the file on desktop then was able to print the PDF document.

ANGRY!  That did not work.  The link did not work.  my Adobe program says all updates have been completed.  Arggh

I find it ironic (and a shame) Acrobat makes it hard to edit documents but deletes everything by itself when printing

This issue has not fixed my blank printing! I know it's not my printer because I can open up my printer app and print from within. It is very time consuming and challenging. What are some other fixes? I'd like to reinstall but not sure how to when I don't have the original software any more. Please help

I was having the same issue: Open document, it was showing the document as it should.  Click on print and it was showing a blank page.

SOLUTION (for me):

Click on print

on the print box, under comments and forms (my one was showing "form fields only") select document

The image should be showing now in the preview box.

For reference, I had no updates to me made, i.e. software up to date with version 11.0.23 for Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.

Let me know if that helped.

Cheers

I’m reposting my messages from yesterday one level up on the tier of messages because I have not had a reply from any Adobe staff despite me being online when a reply was posted to George yesterday.

“I am having exactly the same problem as George.

I supposedly have the latest update for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (Version 2019.008.20080) on a Windows 7 64bit system running with Service Pack 1. It has the latest Windows and printer driver updates. I ran the ‘AcroRdrDCUpd1800920050’ patch as per the links above. One page of one 2-page PDF document printed very faintly just once and never again.

The PDF document is visible on Adobe Reader and appears to work as I'd expect apart from not printing it! Other PDF files were printing initially when the problem batch wasn't. The printer has no issues with non-PDF documents printing via other programs eg Word docs. Blank pages come out of the printer slowly when I ‘print’ my PDF docs. It sounds as though it's printing something. The pages are not just being fed through the machine quickly like it does when a print job is cancelled part way through.

Older PDF files that were saved months or even many years ago do still print successfully. The most recent files have the "blank" printing problem... the ones I need to print out urgently!”

I’d be v grateful if an Adobe staff member would also message me directly with instructions on how I can send more info and an example rogue file for you to work on. I have the same issue that George has had in recent days.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this issue.

I have the same problem. Printing pdf files from Adobe Reader DC to a networked HP 2840 with PCL6 interface  used to work just fine until one of the most recent updates. I discovered that Reader DC updates are automatic. I downloaded a version from July 2018. It worked once and then the update went to the latest version 2019.008.20080 and now I only get a blank page. My system is Win7 32 bit.

My wife has the the same problem with her Apple computers, but I showed her a work around with the MAC OSX built-in Preview app.

Does Adobe have any plans for an update to fix this problem?

Thanks

George

Hello Cm_Ac,

Sorry for the delay in response to your query and apologize for the inconvenience caused. As per the description above, you are not able to print a PDF file using the Adobe Reader DC version 17.012.20098 as it comes out as a blank page, Is that correct?

You can also download and install the updates manually through Overview — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes  Link: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/ReleaseNotes/index.html?wcmmode=disabled#

Restart the computer and try to print the PDF file.
