am having an issue where I add a watermark and security to a document after doing so a person that has read and print rights, tries to print and the Adobe acrobat reader 8.1 and below crashes, in some cases it will print the first page correctly but no the ones after, If I send it to print as an Image it works fine but it takes to long on a large file, so that is not a acceptable solution. I was able to print using a freeware call foxit pdf reader, in that one it works just fine which confuse me the most. That would be a solution but my client's clients use acrobat pdf reader, so I need it to make it work, any Ideas?
I'd a appreciate any help... thank you

Does it happen for all PDFs or just one? Does it happen for all users or just one?

My crystal ball isn't working today :(.

I am sorry that I did not give you all the information.. It was one PDF but I was able to recreate the issue, it happens to every PDF created out of a TIF/TIFF, created by right clicking NOT by printing with the pdf printer, then Adding the watermark and try to print it, it will print the water mark with a white background that will be on top of the image, therefore you can't read the document because the whatermark is all over, the only one I was able to print it properly is using print as image, but that is not an option to print a 300 pages document for example.
I hope you can give me an idea of what to do in this case, and you can recreated yourself, create a pdf out a couple of pages long tif (not printing it) and then print it... thank you for your time
