"The document could not be printed" "There were no pages selected to print"

I found a work-around. Open the document in Google Chrome. Click print from there. In the print dialog, click on "open PDF in preview". Then print.

Unfortunately those security preferences are already disabled, and I'm not willing to print the file as an image.

I've seen the damage that Preview does to a PDF file, and sadly it's been my last resort for printing.

You are correct, this is a misleading and wrong error message. And, most of the workarounds are only applicable to Windows systems. You may want to read through the comments on my blog post to see if any of the other proposed solutions will work for you:

Try going to Preferences> Security (enhanced) enable enhanced security (off), then close & re-open Acrobat.

If that doesn't help, you could try printing as an image, but that will produce blurry type and is not a fix.

The problem doesn't seem to be related to any individual PDF, I can't seem to print any PDF.

Unfortunately that thread included only solutions for Windows.

The document was created with BridgeComposer https://bridgecomposer.com

The version of Acrobat lists the following:

Architecture: x86_64

Build: 18.11.20055.290043

AGM: 4.30.78

CoolType: 5.14.5

JP2K: 1.2.2.41223

You did not tell, how the document has been created or the version of Acrobat you use.

Some possible causes for this to happen:

• Data corruption in the PDF.
• Damaged installation of Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
