Hi all

An update. I have two machines a desktop PC (XP) connected by USB and a laptop (Vista) that is printer accessed by wired networking (802.11b/g (Wi-Fi)).

The Adobe software on the desktop is the latest

The Adobe software on the laptop is not quite up to date.

I can print from the laptop.

So it seems the issue is with the latest Adobe upgrade.

Would there be any opinions on this or will an upgrade be released soon?

I installed and used Foxit pdf reader and it all worked.      I removed

Foxit and adobe and reinstalled adobe. Alls seems to be OK. The only issue

is the icons in explorer and adobe all look like Foxit PDF reader, not

Adobe.

Foxit pdf worked for me. I'm on Vista with adobe 9.2.0.  I think it must be an adobe problem.

Yes, as suggested above, start using foxit for your pdf files.  It's free and better than adobe - and best of all, your files will print.  Go to www.foxitsoftware.com and download foxit reader 3.1.4.  Your life will immediately improve.

Have same errors and it drove me crazy. I know it's not the printer because I can print other documents as long as it's not PDF. On the Add-Remove programs, Adobe Reader 9 has no option to remove so I re-installed the 9.0 but the problem did not go away. I tried doing System restore to dates prior to the time I got the errors but problem remains. I was tempted to install FOXIT reader but it seems that it comes with a toolbar. Finally, I installed Adobe Reader 9.3 and it worked  . Try it.

I upgraded Vista Business 64 to Windows 7 Prof 64 just because

I could not print any pdf.

The problem is the same as others wrote "Document could not be printed".

I can print from other applications (word, firefox, etc.), so the printer works fine.

The printer driver was downloded directly from the printer vendor's site for Win 7 64.

I cannot even print with Foxit reader !

I tried to uninstall Acrobat reader 9, and install 8.1.3, 8.1.2, but none of them

can print pdf files.

Now I have Acrobat Reader 9.3 installed and I still cannot print ANY PDF files, with

ANY application (Acrobat, Foxit)

Same problem, and despite the misleading error message it does seem to be related to the network printer connection. In the Printers and Faxes panel, the printer is shown as "Unable to connect." Apparently our network people retired an older print server this morning, and forgot to send out a notification.

I spent 4 days without any results

I think it is because the PDF files is proteced from being printed. It is common that online PDF files allows you view but not copy or print. Try to check out the properties of the file. If you can download the file, you may print it after unlocking using

PDF Password Remover. Just a possible situation.

Im having a similar issue with PDF's that are created by one of our automated systems.  Only the Acrobat 9 station has this issue printing pdf files any previous version is ok.  I updated acrobat and let the user test on it for a day with no success.  I have reinstalled the software and reinstalled all of the updates and it still throws this error.  The user prints to 2 network printers in her dept.  The printers are not the issue because everything else on her pc prints to them just fine as does the other 20 or so people in there.

What i did find though was that when we copied the pdf from the storage system to the users desktop we are now able to print the pdfs with no problems.  From what i can tell our install of Acrobat 9.3.1 has issues with accessing the pdf via the network to print it.

This is an acceptable band-aid for us but i hope that Adobe hurries up and fixes these issues cause its really annoying, especially to a large print shop like where i work at.

Just thought i would throw out my findings and hope that it may help others having the same issues!

It is April 15th 2010. Adobe Reader is not working anymore for Mac OS X 10.5.8.I can print pdf files, just with a lp command from a terminal, from the Preview software (Apple original default pdf viewer) and with Skim (a free PDF reader).
The problem is with Adobe Reader, as it has been extensively reported.

I add the letter I tried to submit to help desk.

Ladies and Gentlemen at Adobe.
How are we supposed to have a relationship when you guys are so aloof and unresponsive to the little people out here? Have any of you bothered to read the forums? Why has there been such a poor response from you regarding the issue of A R 9.x and pdf printing? The only thing is a DIY Trouble shooter which a). is time consuming considering most folk that are at the troubleshooting stage are already hot under the collar and b). rather short in the fix department. The only viable solution I have seen on the forums so far that has any merit is uninstalling A R and substituting it with Foxit's Reader. (Nice one! Thats how you woo customers and grow your market share especially in this current ecoclimate!). I know that this message will be read by the guys who are not directly linked to The issues in Reader because I had to use this portal as there is no other way to get a response from the Reader Guys. So.... Please, to YOU reading this get it to the right people and even if its only in the Breakroom, mention to somebody who can, that there are a whole lot of people (not just those who are competent enough to get to a forum to look for help) who are having printer problems that did NOT exist prior to upgrading to A R v9.x and get them to go to the various forums and read whats going on and respond - Please,- even if its to say that there is no solution just show that you know.
                     Thanking you in advance,

Andrew
Normally one very satisfied Adobe Customer.

PS I have copied this message and posted to the forums applicable.

I downloaded Acrobat Adobe Reader 9.3

The only download available for Mac OS X 10.5.8.

It does not work out of the box. Just doesn't print (I am able to print from any other program, same machine, same printer, same drivers)
I spent more than 2 hours trying to update the  Adobe Acrobat Reader version 9.3 
No Way! It gives an error (already reported in this forum for version 9.2).

The update could not be completed saying that the AAReader was modified since installation...

I re-installed, without luck.

I am fed up.

I have a AA Reader installed and working in several Linux machines and MSWindows machines.

With my Mac, I have no luck. I won't waste any more time in a lousy coded program.

I will stop using AA Reader in my Mac and post my (and lot of more users' ) problem in every forum I am part of.

thanks for the intended help.

The Adobe Company is silent not giving any support to Apple's users. Is it part of the battle that Apple and Adobe are having in other levels?

I just printed using Reader 9.3.2 with NO problem. My OS10.6.3 (Snow Leopard) Macbook Pro 2.16gHz, Brother MFC-7340 printer.

Suggestions:

1. Remove Reader (trash), download and reinstall. Be sure you have the right version for your Mac i.e, Intel or PowerPC.

2. Be sure you have the latest printer drivers from your printer manufacturer.

3. Repair permissions with Disk Utility or shareware Onyx.

4. Safeboot (hold shift key down while restarting).

5. Restart the normal way (without holding shift key).

These routine maintenace actions may help.

I had already tried most of the recomendations.  Just in case I dwonloaded the latest install for the Adobe Reader but still the same.

As I said previously there is only a problem with more recent PDF's.  To be more specific I receive orders and enquiries as scans and documents converted to PDF's from some of the worlds major oil companies and it is ONLY those created within the last three weeks that have caused problems.  I would like to attach one but I am not allowed.

My problem has been fixed by installing Foxit but now I have the problem that I cannot uninstall Adobe because some of the files are in use by the Windows system.

I hate Windows 7

Thank you so much to those of you who suggested downloading the Foxit reader.  After wasting most of the day uninstalling, reinstalling, fixing this that and the other thing and not being able to print after upgrading to AR 9.3, in 10 minutes Foxit was installed and printed like a charm.

I was trying to print a form from the IRS website.  I had done this many times before without a problem.  I knew there was nothing wrong with my printer, drivers, computer or anything else.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the detailed info.

I need one more bit of help.

The folders that you reference for Windows 7 are locked in my computer and I have not figured out how to unlock them.

Having tried a couple of the suggestions here (reinstalling, repairing and using foxit)

I was able to get around the problem by going to my "advanced" settings when I selected "print".

(Your printer driver may not have this option.)

Under this setting, I have the option to print as "image".

This works. Quality isn't thrilling, but in a pinch it may be adequate.

Please note that I also have to return to the print settings and turn this option off when I'm done printing. I don't want this as a default for quality reasons.

Good luck!

Hi

Mines OK now, just don't know what I did.

Gary

Im very happy you goy iy together!. hope this alos me to donw load flas point 10.

All,

This problem is typically caused to another piece of software being installed that has some kind of PDF functionality.  Internet Explorer starts looking for DLLs that it cannot find, and generates the error.  The best method for fixing this problem is to copy some of the Adobe Reader's DLLs into and Internet Explorer directory.  Below is what I use in a batch file to fix the problem with Adobe Reader 9 on Windows XP:

REM HOT FIX FOR IE and adobe

copy /y "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\ACE.dll" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\ACE.dll"

copy /y "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AGM.dll" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\AGM.dll"

copy /y "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\BIB.dll" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\BIB.dll"

copy /y "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\BIBUTILS.dll" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\BIBUTILS.dll"

copy /y "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\JP2KLIB.dll" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\JP2KLIB.dll"

The above may not display correctly in the forum, so note that each line of your batch file should start with copy and end with dll".

Hope this helps you all.  It took much testing to get this figured out.  As I'm sure everyone has found, it is next to impossible to find the fix for this.  As a side note, we have tested this same solutions with other versions of Adobe Reader and Windows, so modify the above to suit you needs.

Good luck!
