    Hello Ebenhombok,

    We're sorry for the trouble you had while printing the PDF form using Adobe Reader. Are you getting any error message while printing the PDF form with barcodes?

    Are you trying to print the PDF form from Adobe Reader or from any browser? Make sure you download the form on the desktop and then try printing.

    Try printing the PDF as Print as Image option, for instruction, you may refer to Print PDF as image | Adobe Acrobat, Reader

    You can also refer and try the suggestions from Adobe article Troubleshoot PDF printing in Acrobat and Reader

    Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed, check for any pending updates from help>check for updates, reboot the machine after updating Adobe Reader and try printing the PDF.

    Is it a Mac or Windows machine and what is the version of OS installed? What is the dot version of Adobe Reader installed? To identify refer to Identify the product and its version for Acrobat and Reader DC

    let us know how it goes and share your observation.

    Thanks,

    Anand Sri.

    Hello Ebenhombok,

    Make sure that 'Print as grayscale ' is unchecked in the print window settings and then try printing the PDF file as Image.

    Install the latest printer driver/firmware and reboot the machine, check for any pending updates for the printer driver.

    If the issue still persists, remove Adobe Reader using Acrobat cleaner tool Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

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

    is it possible to share the form with us so that we can test it at our end?
