Could you please explain clearly what happens when you try to print a PDF doc using Adobe Reader?

[Guest]

just can not print PDF file

but i can print word excel powerpoint~

only Adobe Reader PDF file can't print (i don't install adobe acrobat)

[Agarwal_Atul]

Could you please describe as to what happens after you click the print button on Adobe Reader?

Does the job go to the printer queue or not? you may check this from the printer queue on the system.

Does it show the printing progress dialog example "dialog showing printing page 1 of 2" ?

[Agarwal_Atul]

Could you please try to repair Adobe Reader?

Go to Help->Repair Adobe Reader installation

I hope you are using Adobe Reader version 11.0.3. You may check the same from Help->About Adobe Reader.

[Guest]

i was repaired...but no any help

and I install Adobe Reader version 11.0.3..it's still same problem

evon I downgrade to version 9 still same...

so have any idea?

[Agarwal_Atul]

Could you please try disabling the "enable protected mode at start up" option from Edit-->Preferences-> Click on "Security Enhanced" (left side pane) ?

Do not forget to re-start reader after you do this. Let me know if that resolves the problem.

[Guest]

[Agarwal_Atul]

Could you please re-enable the setting again and re-launch the Adobe Reader to verify issue still occurs?

[vinnyb]

Thank you. Your Answer helped me too:

I have Windows 7 Pro SP2 32bit

I currently have Adobe Reader X 10.1.4 However, I downgraded from the current most recent version of Adobe Reader XI 11.0.04 when I discovered the issue.

Do you know if this issue will be fixed? What are the ramifications of turning off Protected Mode?

Thanks Again

I follow your steps but I still can't print.

My issue is, I sent the print and everything looks fine until this window showed up

  And just that, nothing else happened.

What should I do?

[TraditionalPanda]

Atul,

   I was experiencing the same issue with someone that I was helping. Disabling Protected Mode did fix the issue. Re-enabling it did re-exert the issue. The person I was helping chose to leave Protected Mode off. I am unable to do further testing but wanted to let you know it was still an issue after re-enabling.

[JohnG82]

I was having the same issue with a customer of mine. Disabling Protected Mode fixed the issue. Are there any downside with leaving it disabled that I need to be aware of?

[stanleyb37129511]

Thank you it fixed my same problem.

VERY frustrating. Just upgraded to Reader XI and now, I can't print to my printer. It only prints to a .pm file. Did the repair and nothing helped. Tried to find "enable protected mode at start up" option from Edit-->Preferences-> Click on "Security Enhanced" (left side pane) ? but it's not there.

Here's what I get:

and then

Won't print to printer. Help!

[garyb38600059]

BTW, I'm using Windows 10 and have never had trouble until the upgrade to Abode Reader XI

Click the Advanced button in the print dialog and make sure that the Print to File option is not selected.

Stop asking inane questions. The programme has a major fault and Adobe is not trying to fix it. You have a register of all users so why hasnt the programming been fixed and sent to all your customers automatically?

All we get on this forum is technical jargon wanting specific .## versions of this or that to clarify what is a simple issue. The programme wont print because we cant select a page - ergo fix the pop-up print panel coding.

Also would you please talk to someone about the "Survey pop-up" on these pages. Last time I tried to post it was offset on the page with no cancel X and could not be removed from the screen - more f.....g time wasting!!!!!

I have contracts worth $$$$$k that cannot be signed because they can't be printed. PDF used to be gbreat - now it is a joke.

Nothing Hansen.  I made a word document with the Acrobat XI and put on 6 slides a page, and pressed print.

All of the printing issues with "print to PDF" started with the patch Adobe had to do for extreme security issues.  Ever since I updated with the patch my "print to PDF" has not worked.  Somone at Adobe need to fix it or I doubt any other solution will work...

[Vader250]

I have this same problem and turning off protected mode is not working.

I have a project due in 48 hrs and my documents are in PDF format.

How could Adobe make a change to the largest portable digital format and not test it?

Now what do we do?

The program is now so secure that even users can't use it.

[MotherNatrsSon9]

I downloaded the openGL program PDFCreator and it works wonderfully...if adobe fixes it I will start to use adobe again...until then...
