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!

I tried all the solutions in this post and still NO JOY! What's next? When will Adobe

be coming out with Adobe reader 10.0 to finally acknowledge and fix the problem?

I cannot print ANY pdf document using Adobe Reader and I always get the two errors:

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

Preview.app prints the documents just fine.

I think it is silly, and interesting to observe that Adobe doesn't say anything about it.

Ok, you will never be able to print pdfs using adobe reader, because adobe reader is just to read the pdfs, you need acrobat to print the pdfs, there will b no use of waiting for reader 10 even it will also not print, you can download acrobat trial (30 days) and then try printing pdfs.

Ok are you printing a microsoft document into pdf or you are taking physical printout from a printer?

try printing with acrobat trial

What next? I attempted to print from Adobe Acrobat Standard edition. I tried with Foxit, PDF Complete. Again, NO JOY! I think what is going on here is that when Acrobat creates the file, it's corrupt and the reason that Adobe doesn't want to admit to the problem is it will set up a MAJOR public relations problem and confidence problem in their product. So rather than do the right thing, Adobe chooses to ignore the problem, and either fix it behind the scene and have a lot of pissed off people, or they just have no clue.

Time to step up to the plate and approach the problem head on and fix it!

Ben,

On my machine, this happens even when I check the "Print as image" check box.

Here I put a summary of the problem for people who don't have the time to read all the posts.

In Summary:

On Mac OS X, having Adobe Reader 9.3, when I try to print a PDF document on a printer I get the following errors:

"The document could not be printed."

and then,

"There were no pages selected to print."

This happens,

• with ANY pdf document that I open, whether they are created with Adobe products or other applications;
• with any selection of pages (all, current page, or a range of pages);
• regardless of having the "Print as image" checkbox checked or unchecked;
• on different printers (inkjet or laserjet, Lexmark and Epson);
• on older versions of Adobe Reader 9 as well (I haven't tried it on Adobe Reader 8.x);

The same documents can be printed using the Preview application on Mac OS X.

Different people experience a subset of this problem, but the fact that I cannot print regardless of the document, the print as image option, the printer type or the page selection tells me that the problem is not related to these. This is a nasty bug and may have something to do with some Adobe settings being messed up. Since there is practically no way to completely uninstall Adobe on a Mac (Thank You Adobe for being so careless) I cannot tell whether a clean install would solve this issue. I tried removing every footprint of Adobe from my machine two times (from system files, property lists, etc) and installing the reader again, but the problem still exists.

I hope this helps. Does anyone from Adobe care about this?

Nope, make sure the product is registered didn't make a difference. Nice try by Adobe to make sure there is no bootleg users out there

I might have just found the source of the problem. Read this:

It says:

We have been running all our Macs for years with a case sensitive file system which is one of the options on the Mac OS X installer. All our applications work fine except Adobe Reader. I have asked and complained to Adobe for a year or two. Whenever we try to print it just says that "Adobe Reader cannot print this document". We would use Preview but we use forms and digital signatures that Preview can't handle. We end up having to copy all our PDF files to a Windows system to print. This is pathetic, especially from Adobe.

I have a case-sensitive file system. Can all of you who have this printing problem confirm if they have a case-sensitive file system as well?

Another possible Solution...Windows 7 people.

I just had this error pop-up on my PC and my IT (who is genious) was able to quickly fix error by restarting the Print Spooler. Instantanious fix.

Didn't have to download anything didn't have to restart anything (except the spooler).

I guess this is a common issue with Windows 7.

I have just hit this problem printing tickets purchased from Eurostar.

If you accept the option to print your tickets at home Eurostar deliver them as a PDF.

When I try to print them on my Mac (Snow Leopard, Acrobat Pro 9.4.0), I receive the same two error messages reported above

"The document could not be printed."

and

"There were no pages selected to print."

followed by

"A drawing error occured"

These tickets print fine with Preview, and I can print other PDF files with Acrobat OK.

These tickets also print fine with Acrobat Reader 9 on Windows 7.

It looks as though there is some problem with the Eurostar-generated PDFs.

Possibly an error in the generated PDF which Preview and the Windows version of Acrobat Reader tolerate, but which Acrobat Pro on the Mac can't handle.

How can I determine whether this is a bug in Acrobat Pro (Mac version) or whether the Eurostar-generated PDF is in error?

Hello!

I have been reading the thread here and I have these same problems since July. We got an update to our loan origination system which included the 9.3.3 reader.  Ever since that update nothing has been right.  I have deleted and reinstalled everything from 8.2 to 9.4.  We have installed memory and checked the drivers on our printer.  Nothing seems to help.  When I try to print, I get a blank page.  Other people get the error messages. I don't know what else to do.  Any one have any ideas? 

Thanks!

I had this problem with a document I created in Word 2010, then imported into Acrobat Pro X to make into a form.

I couldn't print it in Acrobat Pro X or Acrobat reader 9.  I would get the errors:

"The document could not be printed" then "There were no pages selected to print".

Since i created the document, I was able to take it apart and remove items until it printed correctly which it eventually did.

What had happened was that I had added some new text in Acrobat Pro, all other text was imported from the original Word document .

This new text created in Acrobat was causing the error.  Once I deleted this, it printed fine. I had to reimport 1 page form Word with the edits made in that file to make my final document.

- If you didn't create the original document, this is of no help to you unfortunately.

- Printing to a .xps was not a workaround for me as the error occurred there also.

So far so good!  Your instructions have worked for my iMac 10.6.5 running Acrobat Professional 8.2.5.  I never had trouble with Reader.

Thanks!

We had the same problem here ("The Document could not be printed" and "No pages selected to print").

I could replicate the problem only when printing to the network printer.  Printing to my local printer worked fine, which pointed to an issue communicating with the print driver.

Our solution (or workaround) is to use a different print driver.  This is a solution we've used for a variety of printing issues over the years.  We had the same issue with Toshiba printers before, and now with Xerox printers:  Simply add a second version of the printer out there, share it with a name like Generic_Driver or something.  This will point to the same physical network printer, but instead of using the default Postscript driver, go into the printer properties and change the driver to a generic driver like the HP LaserJet 4.  At least in our case, many if not most PDFs print just fine using the default print driver, but it's a heck of a lot easier to troubleshoot printing problems if you've got an alternate print driver ready to go.  The problem will very often come down to an incompatibility between the software and the PS driver.

I can't believe Adobe hasn't done something about what seems a widespread problem across several platforms and Adobe products. I just started have this problem and have tried several of the solutions offered here:

making sure I was registerd & repair didn't work nor did eliminating the Preferenes folder. Printing as image DID work but not a great solution.

I am running Acrobat Pro 9.x on Windows 7 x64. The problem only started recently and seemed to occur only with documents of multi-layers of data (ArcGIS export to PDF maps). Other documents printed fine. It seemed to be a problem of incompatible fonts, but I don't know for sure, only that several of the documents gave me an error message on open that some of the fonts may not print correctly. I'm on a network printer, burt also tried to print with a direct USB connection from my computer. Same errors ("could not pint -- Drawing error occured).

I don't know which is more irritating, the problem (though solved by print as image) or Adobe not respoinding to such a long-running thread.

Grrrrrrrr.

Has anyone started a ticket on this?

Have not fixed it. what I do to get around it is when the document is displayed, I print

it as a picture. Terrible that adobe can't fix it.
