  • Hoping to get get some other people with this issue:

    I have a user that when the start to print a PDF in Adobe Acrobat, the the job get stuck and all Adobe processes need to be forced closed. 

    What I have done so far

    - renaming the Adobe folder in the user's appdata\roaming profile folder does not help 
     - disabling protected mode in the settings in did not work
     - printing PDF as an image did not work
     - printing a fresh PDF did not work 
    -  user can print a PDF from Chrome without issue
    -  user can print a DOC to the same printer without issue
    -  Adobe Acrobat version: 25.001.20672 (32-bit
    - other users appear to be having the issue at the same time   

Anyone seen this issue before?

Next step is to upgrade if possible

    Hi ​@dwaynelaro6766  

     

    ++ Adding to the discussion

     

    Please update the Acrobat application to the latest version 25.01.21111 from the help menu > check for updates and reboot the computer once. Also check for any pending/missing updates for the printer driver and firmware and try updating them. You may also try to remove the Printer driver/firmware, reboot the device and re-install them from the printer manufacturers website and see if that helps.

    Also go through the steps shared in the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/desktop/troubleshoot/print-scan-issues/printing-errors.html and see if that works.

    How much RAM does your computer have? If it’s more than 4 GB, you should be running the 64 bit version. 
    What happens if you print some pages from the back of the PDF? For example, if it’s 10 pages, print pages 9-10, etc.

    We did print a one page pdf with no luck as well.
    It does have more the 4 GB so I will suggest a 64 bit update if the upgrade does not work. Thanks
