Mac: The document could not be printed. There were no pages selected to print.

Every other App is able to print.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the application and print driver.  Out of desperation, I updated the OS, and I still cannot print.

 

Right now, I'm still receiving the error.  My environment:

 

MacOS: 10.13.1

 

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Continuous Release

Version 2018.011.20036

Architecture: x86_64

Build: 18.11.20038.267465

AGM: 4.30.74

CoolType: 5.14.5

JP2K: 1.2.2.39492

 

Any thoughts?  Are there logs I can look at or tracing I can enable to identify the point of failure?

 

Best,

-Pat

Hi Pat,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused, as per the description above, you are getting an error message while printing a PDF file on Mac machine "The document could not be printed. There were no pages selected to print.", Is that correct?

As you mentioned that you have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader, and have updated the printer driver and the operating system, but the issue still persists.

Please create a new user profile with full admin rights or enable the root account and try with Adobe Reader and see if this issue is reproducible.

You may also refer to Troubleshoot PDF printing in Acrobat and Reader

If the issue still persists, please share the following detail:

  • Make and model of the printer.
  • Share the finding after temporarily turning off Protected Mode/View under Edit > Preferences > Security.

Note: Please turn on Protected mode, as turning off is only for testing purpose.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,

Anand Sri.

Also, to answer your question:  YEs.  That is the error I receive. 

When I get to the Print screen and hit "Print" in the lower left corner....

I immediately get this dialog...

Then, when I click "OK"  I get this dialog...

THanks again,

Thanks so much for this! Adobe just an awful experience. Thankfully, using their apps less and less
