I'm backed into a corner by Acrobat... A client has sent me PDF documents to print out on my printer but Adobe Acrobat says 'pages not selected.' In the print dialog box the pages are shown and print is set to print all. I"m dumbfounded by this and need help. The client is waiting... Any ideas of what I can do to print this document out?

I am having the same issue. I have a mac studio M1 running Sonoma 14.5 and the latest versions of Adobe Creative. I have restarted, Re-installed and become equally frustrated 🙂

I am having this same problem of being told that pages are not selected when they are. Am on a Mac, with Sonoma. There seems to be nothing I can find to help figure it out, and no technical assistance is available. It's very odd - I've tried a lot of things to try to reload both Adobe and the documents need to be printed, turned the printer off and on, and been trying to figure this out for several days now without success.

macOS or Windows? What is your version of Acrobat and the OS?

Try if "print as image" works.

Mac system, Latest updated Catalina and also Acrobat is most recent. I get the print dialog but then get error message that 'cannot print' and then 'no pages were selected' but in print dialog it is clearly set to print all. After trying everything for two days, even reinstalling print drivers, I finally today made screen shots of each page and pasted the individual page screen shots into inDesign and of course was able to print successfully from there. I did see a quick message in Acrobat that said the PDF was a scanned image... whatever that means, the file info at the finder level showed it as a PDF document and it opened in Acrobat as a PDF document. Very mysterious. You are on the right track with your comment but I was worn out trying everything over two days and had to get it printed, which I did using the screen shot and paste method
