I can't print a pdf file. I can print a word file, but not a pdf file. Can you help?

It worked oh my god I have spent 5 hours on it trying from updating firmware to drivers to everything this worked as of 27/02/24 thanks a lot of graffiti 

(I am writing this in case another user encounters the exact same issue which I encountered with a particular PDF.)

I changed PDF/A mode to "Never" and disabled protected mode at startup as ~graffiti recommended.  However, I also had to change 'Comments & Forms' to "Document" from "Document and Markups" in order to resolve the printing issue.

This solution need to enable the TCP/IP printing on the server side.  After the TCP/IP printing is enabled on windows printer server, connect the printer using lpr protocol by creating a lpr port on the client side, entering the server's IP address, queue name is the printer name on the server, and use the port on the client side as the printer port.

Thank you graffiti - it worked - I want to have your baby - that's just a term of endearment - I'm a guy - but thanks very much for sharing your knowlege and wisdom

Many thanks, that worked for me. But just in case it helps others can I give my "confusing" method.

I went through all the options you give and they didn't work first time. So I rechecked them again and this time it asked me to restart the program.

The only difference I did then was to find the file in question, direct from file manager, right clicked, selected print and off it worked !!! Obviously it loaded Adobe to achieve it.

I'm not suggesting this specific route solved it. That was due to your suggestions and the resulting reload. But it felt good !!

That works if you have a completely different problem than what we are discussing here.

Your fix is good if Reader is trying to print to a file instead of a printer.

I had this same problem. It was resolved when I went file > print > advanced, and then un-ticked the 'print to file' box down the bottom.

Same here and just started doing it days ago.

I have windows 7, reader XI and when attempting to print, given a "no document selected" from adobe. All other docs print.

Hep me!

Version or Reader?

Are you printing from a browser or Reader itself?

Operating System?

What steps are you taking to print?

What exactly is happening.
