Acrobat DC cannot print PDF files

Apple user here. The update (which provides the patch) that was suggested is not working for me. When it asks me to select a program I want to update, my acrobat is greyed out and therefore the installation fails. This what happens...

I have no option but to hit cancel as "open" is not an option for me.

Setting Acrobat to run as administrator and disabling UAC did not fix the issue for me. My employer went from using Nitro which exhibits slow loading over our network, so I had them switch to Adobe and now I look like an idiot because Adobe Acrobat, A PDF EDITING SOFTWARE, CANNOT PRINT PDF DOCUMENTS. FIX IT!

Windows 7 x64: Try disabling UAC. It worked for me.

Experiencing same issue on Windows.

Sporadic inability to print. Latest version, updates etc.

Reopening Acrobat usually resolves the problem, sometimes you need to close and reopen twice.

Clicking Printer Properties or Page Setup does not open any dialog windows.

Adding new printers, drivers, repairing the install, usual troubleshooting does not resolve the issue.

found on a different forum and this has now been working for us --

Go to the Adobe DC Icon on your desktop. Right click. At the very bottom of the dropdown select Properties.  Click on the Compatibility tab.  Under Compatibility Mode select the operating system you are using. Select OK/Apply.  My employee's new laptop (Windows 7) hasn't had any more issues since we did this.  Hope it helps others.

Unless there has been solution I am unaware of, this is still a problem.

Problem review: When a user attempts to print a PDF from Acrobat DC, the print progress bar does not appear, the print dialogue box closes but no print file is sent to the printer queue.

In my work space this problem applies to four PC's running Acrobat DC on Windows 7. Acrobat DC has been updated to the most current release as of the date of this reply, and the Windows systems are running Windows Defender for virus protection (with regard to some previous comments regarding Vipre virus protection possible interfering with the Acrobat print function).

Notes: When a user quits Acrobat and reopens a PDF back into Acrobat DC then attempts to print, the print is successful.

This problem is extremely annoying affecting multiple users in a student user environment.

I just had this issue come up this morning. I went to File > Print> Advanced.  On the advanced screen under Color Management I check the box for Let Printer Determine Colors.  Everything started working perfectly.  I printed a 7 page color document right away.  I then went back and printed the same document in Gray Scale by going to File > Print and check the box for Gray Scale printing before sending it to the printer. 

Hello,

we had the same issue after the last Microsoft patch day in January 2017.

If this is the source of the problem or just a coincidence... i can't say for sure.

We've found a solution in our case.

It is the "Enhanced Security" Setting, that have to be deactivated.

You can change this setting under Preferences.

• Choose Preferences.
• From the Categories on the left, select Security (Enhanced).
• Select the Enable Enhanced Security option.

We've tested this with several users and it worked every time.

Hopefully it will work as well for you.

Here it is January 2017 and this issue is still happening. I have a user who had Adobe Reader 11 with this issue printing to an HP LJ 4350 on our network. PDF files just stopped printing. I have removed the printer, uninstalled Reader 11, reinstalled Acrobat DC, reinstalled the printer with updated drivers and still he cannot print PDF's.

ADOBE, WHERE IS A SOLUTION, AND WHY IS THIS STILL HAPPENING????
