There may be a bug with Acrobat 8.o in this area. We've found a number of bugs in 8.0 related to printing. Wait for Adobe to post an update (which should be coming soon) and try printing from the upgrade.

We also have the same problem. We wated for AcroRead 8.1 and the issue is the same. We only have this problem, when printing on HP PostScript driver. The same Document from the same WS/Server with Acrobat 8 Pro works fine. We found out, that this issue fades, when manually setting the "PostScript Language Level" from default 3 down to two. Does anybody know, how to fix this in the Registry, wen runing regmon I can see thousands of Acrobat settings. Any Idea?

Thanks

Hi Dede,

I'm not sure where the problem is. I know there are a few issues related to some printers. You might try to contact Adobe Tech Support and also HP for an updated driver.
