Unable to print from Adobe. Says no pages selected

Quick fix (works on macbook 100% and maybe windows too): right click on the doc and open it in preview mode. Print! 

Thanks  Scott your solution 1 worked wonders and I was able to print thank you very much. 

I updated to Version

Build: 18.11.20038.267465

And now I get this problem.

The solutions above do not seem to apply since many of the menus no longer have these configurations.

Did I screw up getting the latest build?

Had the same problem, and found the culprit - I believe.

When I opened a PDF that is an image, and tried to print it with "Print as Image" selected, I got the error above.

When I deselected "Print as Image" it would print as expected...

There is a workaround (perhaps only for Windows, IDK) that worked for me, the only solution that I could follow the steps and, voila, print.

To wit:

If you are dealing with this error message, and you are using Acrobat or Reader on Windows, there is a simple workaround. This is not a fix, and does come at a price, but at least it will allow you to print: Open up Acrobat’s (or Reader’s) preferences (Edit>Preferences or Edit>Preferences>General), then select the “Security (Enhanced)” category. Now deselect the setting “Enable Protected Mode at Startup” and restart the application. If this does not work, try to set “Protected View” to “Off”.

BTW, this thread that has gone on for years without Adobe having interest in helping and/or passing the buck to someone else ... yeah, I really don't think much of the company.

Hi Scott,

May I know the application that you are using to Print the PDF file. Also please mention printer make and model.

Please try the following:

Solution 1:

Open the PDF file in Acrobat/Reader.

Choose File > Print.

Click Advanced button in the Print dialog box.

In the resulting Advanced Print Setup dialog box, select Print As Image and click OK.

Solution 2:

Close Acrobat/Reader.

Choose Start > Run and type %APPDATA%\Adobe\Acrobat\ in the Open text box. Click OK.

Right-click the version folder (for example: 11.0 or DC) and choose Delete.

Start Acrobat/Reader and print.

Note: Acrobat preference files contain application settings such as toolbar arrangements. Once Acrobat is restarted, new preferences will be created automatically based on application defaults. Deleting preference files will not result in the loss of saved documents.

Solution 3:

To see if there are multiple documents stuck in the printer queue and delete them:

Close Acrobat/Reader.

Click Start > Devices & Printers

Double-click the printer you are attempting to print to.

If there are documents in the queue, choose File > Cancel All Documents. It maybe necessary to restart your computer after choosing this option.

Start Acrobat/Reader and print.

Solution 4:

Go to Edit > Preferences

Under categories click on Security (Enhanced)

Try temporarily turning off Protected View (Acrobat)

Uncheck Enable Protected Mode at startup (Reader)

Solution 5:

Go to Edit > Preferences

Under categories click on Documents

From PDF/A View Mode drop down on the right select 'Never'

Click Ok. Restart Acrobat/Reader and print.

Let me know if this works.

Thanks,

Abhishek
