Blurry pdfs/Print issues

New Here ,

My adobe has recently started acting oddly.

First issue was pdf documents which would be clear on other staff 's pcs when opening (with free adobe, whereas I have paid) being blurry/poor quality when I opened.  This would be on docs which I scan to pdf, docs converted from word to pdf and pdfs received.

Second issue when I print a 1 page document - when print menu opened it clearly shows 1 page, portrait mode etc., but it prints landscape with half on one page and half on the reverse.

Third issue when I go to edit a pdf and remove text, or replace text it wont allow me.

All of these issues have only started in last month.

I have disabled AI mode and reverted to old adobe to see if this caused the issue but it is still the same.  

Can anyone offer any guidance on how to "fix"?

Hello,

It sounds like you're experiencing a few glitches with Adobe Acrobat. Here are some steps you can try to fix the blurry PDFs, printing issues, and editing problems:

For blurry PDFs:

Update Adobe: Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat installed. Updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements.

PDF settings: Check the print settings within the PDF itself. Sometimes PDFs have embedded settings that can affect how they appear on different systems.

"Print as Image" option: In the print menu's "Advanced" tab, ensure "Print as Image" is unchecked. This option can cause blurry prints.

For printing issues:

Printer driver: Reinstall or update your printer driver. Outdated drivers can lead to printing problems.

Print settings: Double-check your print settings in Adobe Acrobat. Ensure the orientation (portrait/landscape) is correct and page scaling is set to "None."

Print preview: Utilize the print preview function to confirm the layout before printing.

For editing issues:

PDF permissions: Verify the PDF doesn't have editing restrictions preventing text removal or replacement.
Edit tools: Experiment with different editing tools within Acrobat. Some tools might be better suited for specific editing tasks.

If these steps don't resolve the issues:

Repair Adobe Acrobat: The software might have corrupted files. Try the repair option within the program's installer.

 

I hope the information may helps you.
