Can´t print PDF files using Acrobat Reader 7.0.9
 
Hi,
My problem is that I can print std doc but not PDF-files. (Yes they have all settings to allow printing)
 
I am using Adobe Reader 7.0.9 but can´t print the document on my NEC Silentwriter2 290 v52.0. A Postscript printer.
When I am pushing the printer-icon I get a pop-up meny saying. "Unable to print the document"
 
When rightclicking the mouse and using the Print doc I get the printer pop-up menu but when I click OK nothing happen.
 
Note! I can print any other document but no PDF document.
 
Can anyone help me out with this problem, please.
 
/Claes

Reader 7.0.9, Windows

Does this happen with all PDF files or just one? Acrobat simply hands over the print data to the system. If it's refusing to do so then there could be a problem with the driver, the Acrobat installation, or a particular file. Try
1)printing to another printer, even a virtual one.
2)reparing Acrobat, both from the help menu and the Windows Add/Remove Programs utility
3) If nothing helps then try removing and reinstalling Acrobat. Not an ideal option, but it could be necessary.
