acrobat won't print, no page selected

I had this problem, and I just printed the document in 20 page increments.

I had the same issue when using Google Chrome.  When trying to print to a PDF file Google Chrome's default is "Save as PDF" you need to select "Adobe PDF". Wala it worked. Hope it works for you like it did for me.

Until Adobe is able to address the issue, you can get this download and use it to print your documents. I've been searching for hours and no other solution works.

Loath is too tame of a word to describe my utter contempt with Adobe Acrobat DC; it's unreliable and downright ridiculous most of the time. When printing more often then not, a popup will show with "no pages selected" which leads to a) no printing b) outright frustration and c) a higher probability of me throwing my macbook out of a window.

The only way, and I mean the only way, I have ever been able to print my pdf file when this pop up is shown is to not even use the program at all anyway (which is ridiculous in itself) but to print by doing the following:

• right click on the selected document/pdf
• click open with
• click preview (if preview isn't automatically listed go down to other and search for the preview program)
• (your document should open) select file then print adjust your setting and your ready to go

This might not have helped in the way you wanted it to but it does give another option to their non-existent solution to the problem.

I am experiencing the same issues. I have created several PDFs from Illustrator CC the past couple days. Some of them print fine and some of them don't. I can find no common denominator yet. They are all 2-layer files and all of them use the same linked background .PSD image on the bottom layer.

I get the same two print error messages as mentioned in the threads above.

I cannot print some of these PDFs from either the latest version of Acrobat (15) or Acrobat Reader DC. However, if I place the non-printable PDFs in say InDesign CC, they print fine? They also print fine from the Apple PREVIEW application. So I am guessing there is noting wrong with the PDFs, but rather with the two Adobe Acrobat apps. One of my clients is having the same problems trying to print the same files on his PC from Adobe Acrobat apps?

Some of the files that trigger these errors are the smallest files of the bunch (Myriad text only in the top layer), so it does not appear to be memory related.

EXAMPLES:

I have uploaded (2) files to Dropbox for your analysis. I made both of these in Illustrator CC and saved as PDFs directly from Illustrator using the [Smallest File Size] Preset. I actually made about (30) of these signs in all - all are identical as far as being 2-layered AI files and all use the same background PSD image. About 25 of the PDF files I made like this for my client to proof printed out fine, the rest gave the two errors. Both of these print fine from PREVIEW on Mac Mavericks and they also both seem to print fine when I place them in InDesign CC and print from there? The 2nd image will not print from Acrobat or Acrobat Reader (any version I have installed including the latest).

NOTE: If I look inside my Print Driver dialog after attempting to print one of these files in question,  it says "Stopped - Unable to convert Postscript file".

File that does print: Dropbox - YES.pdf

Files that doe NOT print: Dropbox - NO.pdf

This worked for me; hope it works for you.  Good luck!

1.  Go to Print... 

2.  Click "Advanced"

3.  UNCHECK "PRINT AS IMAGE" (if checked).  ***Beneath it, make sure "Stimulate Overprinting" is still checked.  (I figure the reason Adobe says, "no page selected" is because the program reads the document as an "image." When this radio box is unchecked, Adobe can read the pages to trigger printing process.)

First let me state that this is my solution on a Macintosh running 10.7.5 and Acrobat Pro X (with all the latest updates).

This problem started for me just this last weekend. I have been to every so-called solution that I could find via a Google search and NONE of these "solutions" even by the self-tagged "experts" work. PERIOD!

I decided to follow one suggestion to install Acrobat Pro 9. However, instead of uninstalling Acrobat Pro X first, I left it installed.

During the initial startup of Acrobat 9 after installation I was offered the option of installing an Extra feature called Adobe PDF Printer which allows me to "Create Adobe PDF files from any application by printing to Adobe PDF Printer". I opted in to that extra.

Once Acrobat Pro 9 had started I tested it using one of the PDF files that had failed to print with the dreaded "No pages selected......" error messages. THE FILE PRINTED AS EXPECTED!

I then decided I would uninstall Acrobat Pro X, but on a whim decided to try to print the same PDF file that had just printed using Acrobat Pro 9 one more time. IT PRINTED!

All I can figure out is that somehow selecting the option to have Acrobat Pro 9 install the option for allowing other applications to create a PDF repaired something within the Mac operating system. Just a guess.

Hope this helps someone.

Of course, after I wrote the solution, it stopped working...

Okay, by chance I found a crazy solution.....

1. open thumbnails on PDF

2. click "Print"

3 open "advanced" and tick "Print as Image"

4. you must scroll down each thumbnail as it seems only the one that is highlighted will print.

Very tedious, but at least it worked....

I had the same problem (on a mac).  Using the Mac "preview" app and printing from there worked for me instead.  Turning off "enhanced security" had no effect.
