I have a pdf document. I use Acrobat read 8.1.2. I can read the document fine; however, when I try to print out the document, it comes out all black.

I did a search on the forum, one post indicated that I need to uncheck the 'print color as black' box, but I do not have that box in my print option.

Thanks in advance.
Jake

Does this happen on all your PDFs or just one? Try these suggestions to see if it corrects the problem:

1. Check to see if you’re using the most up-to-date print drivers for your printer - go to the manufacturers web-site and download if necessary.
2. Print the PDF as image format - Print menu (Advanced button).
3. Make sure that "Discolored background correction" is turned off under the Advanced button in the Print dialog.

Thank you for your response. I printed as an image and it worked.
