Hi Gurus

I need some serious help, I have a PDF which contains two pages each page is 11x17, it's a menu, I am trying to print this pages to a Ricoh mpc4503 and before it even do anything I get this error

: There were no pages selected to print.

Can someone please help me out, if you have ever come across this issue.

Thanks  a Bunch

I am having the same issue even after taking all of these steps. 'The PDF could not be printed." then "There were no pages selected to print."

Go to "advanced" in print settings and print as an image.

Thank you - turns out there was an upgrade that took care of the issue. It pops into Acrobat reader for a second and then back to pro and then prints.... I guess that was how adobe managed to circumvent the issue.

I'm on the latest MacOS and have the same issue. Can't print anything in PDF and get the same messages. Print preview does work, so that's a good thing for now, but I'm hoping Adobe fixes this pretty major issue.

Thanks to everyone for the "Open in Preview" work-around...saved me so much angst.

I just encountered this problem on a Mac.  It was specific to the document and none of the suggestions listed so far worked.  However, I finally found a work around... I right-clicked on the Document, selected "Open With" and chose "Preview".  I could print using Preview, but not Acrobat.

I had the same problem and the work around via prin t using Preview worked. But what is the problem with print using Acrobat?  How can I fix that?

I feel like I've been living in these Adobe Community forums this past week.
InD, Illustrator, Bridge and now Acrobat. The pain, so much pain.

 

Anyway, I've triggered this warning somehow on my mac too.

Hoping for a solution to a problem I' ve never experienced before in all my days.

Hi newbiws,

Please run "Repair Installation" under the Help menu.

Try "Print as image" option to print PDF.

Open print window, go to Advanced tab and check the box for "Print as Image".

The click OK at the bottom and then print.

If this does not help, try to change "View documents in PDF/A mode" to Never under Edit menu>Preferences>Documents.

Click OK at the bottom to save settings.

Let us know if it helps or if the issue still persists.

Regards,

Meenakshi
