Update to Acrobat broke printing a 500 page document

Hello, 

Sorry for the delayed response and troubled experience.


Printing large PDF documents, such as a 500-page file, can sometimes lead to issues, especially after software updates. To address the problem, consider the following steps:

1. Update Adobe Acrobat:

Ensure you’re using the latest version of Adobe Acrobat, as updates often include fixes for known issues.

To check for pending updates, Launch Acrobat > Help > Check for Updates.

2. Update Printer Drivers:

Outdated printer drivers can cause compatibility problems. Visit your printer manufacturer’s website to download and install the latest drivers.

3. Print as Image:

Printing the PDF as an image can bypass rendering issues:

• Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat.
• Go to File > Print.
• Click on Advanced.
• Check the Print as Image box.
• Click OK, then Print.

This method has been effective in resolving similar printing problems. 

4. Split the Document:

Large documents can strain system resources. Splitting the PDF into smaller sections can help:

• In Adobe Acrobat, select Organize Pages.
• Choose Split and define the number of pages per file.
• Save and print each section individually.
