After update, all PDF files print out to Epson L565 inkjet color printer. The text documents only to see incomplete horizontal lines. I try to convert same PDF file to jpeg, than convert to PDF. The print out is fine.

Remarks: The Windows 7 and Windows 10 same issue. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC same version.

    we are still having a lot of printing problems with the 2018.08.20074 update.  Slow printing over 100 computers. Any other fixes?

    That has not fixed all the printing problems.  This update has made our 100 computer worse.  The computers that did not do the update and are still on the old Adobe reader work fine.

    Also happened in my corp. environment, any idea when a solution will be available. I can eliminate specific printer issues, as it is the same issue with all printers in our environment with updated drivers (Xerox). This is also affecting Windows 8 installations of Adobe. Which of course means that Edge is not an option for a work around. My whole system ERP rely's on this method of displaying and printing reports.

    This should have been tested much more.

    Hello Dosmond_lok,

    We're sorry for the trouble you had while printing with Adobe Reader. Please try troubleshooting steps from the following Adobe article and see if that helps Troubleshoot PDF printing in Acrobat and Reader

    Try printing the PDF file as an Image, for steps refer to Adobe article Print PDF as image | Adobe Acrobat, Reader

    Have you tried printing other PDF files and checked or is it specific to one PDF?

    Make sure that you have the latest driver/firmware of the printer installed.

    If you experience the issue, please remove Adobe Reader using Acrobat cleaner tool Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

    Reboot the machine and install Adobe Reader back from Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

    Is it possible to share the PDF file with us which is printing incomplete horizontal lines so that we can test it at our end?

    Hello Anand Sri,

    After updating to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC version 2019.008.20071, all corporate computers encountered the same problem.

    Have you tried printing other PDF files and checked or is it specific to one PDF?

    - I tried 10 different kind of PDF files, got same result.

    - I tried to convert the PDF file to photo format, than convert to PDF. This is successfully printing on 2019.008.20071.

    Make sure that you have the latest driver/firmware of the printer installed.

    - The Epson L565 is not the first day to use.

    - I am using “Microsoft Edge” open the same PDF file to do the printing test. It is work!

    -

    I am attached (Scan0001.jpg & Scan0002.jpg) the print out for you to understand the problem.

    Thank you.
