[Acrobat DC] Cannot print unless that uncheck "Enabled Protected Mode at Startup"

We maintain a Web site where users can download PDFs generated by this site.

There are users of statement that PDF files can be downloaded but wouldn't print after that. There will be a message box popup to inform users that they are unable to print. Uncheck "enabled Protected Mode at startup" in the Acrobat preferences enabled them to print again. The same users also said they cannot leave this box checked because other programs in their systems requires this checkbox.

Can someone tell me that what are the possible causes that to happen in some machines and what is the alternative that uncheck this box. Personally, I was not able to simulate this issue, but it has been reported by several of our users.

Hi Howie

Can you please try update Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to the most recent version in the machines and try again?

To do this, simply open Acrobat Reader DC, go to 'Help'-> ' Check for Updates '.

Let us know if the problem reoccurs after that.

Thank you

    Just installed CD player. Now I can't print pdf files without disabling Protected Mode.  Anyway to adjust/difficulty so I can print protected-mode?

    Protected mode can be "a very important part of their security features", but what's the point if the product does not work?

    If has been like that since the introduction of Safe_mode in drive X.  Reader, crashes, hangs, cale, cannot print and various other symptoms.

    I recommended to disable Safe_mode for a very long time, and even Adobe support staff do often the same here in the forum.

    There is absolutely no advantage whatsoever to keep protected Mode enabled.  (Although I personally have never had no problems [with protected Mode on] on any of my Windows systems.)

  • Acrobat DC cannot print PDF files

    I have a customer having problems with printing PDF files.  They have Acrobat DC Standard and can open any PDF fine, however when you try to print nothing happens.  Acrobat does not even send the print job to the printer.  We have tested on several printers, and the problem is the same.

    I have ensured that all the accurate and up-to-date printer drivers are installed

    Acrobat Standard DC is updated to 10/02/16

    The printer can print other jobs by other software (Word, Notepad, etc.) without problems

    PDF files will print if I open them in Adobe READER and print from here. It is only in Acrobat DC they won't print.

    I found many other messages from the forum on the same or similar topics and the best answer I found is the workaround mentioned printing from Adobe Reader.  Most mentions that it is a problem that adobe has had for some time (the most useful forum topic dated back to may 2014), but nobody has an answer on what the problem is caused by, and what it solved for good. only workarounds.

    Is there a solution to this problem that I can apply and have the product works as expected for my client?

  • CP1518ni on Win7 64 bit does not print unless that ' ignore the ' is on

    I get the message "replace supplies" and the printer does not print unless the 'out' substitution is turned on. I replaced the ink once and then got the message "replace supplies" in the following days.  I installed HPPDU which refers to the series CP1510 PCL6. the diagnostic screen says everything is fine. I also downloaded the 20100616 update.  I noticed that the 'solution' ToolboxFX does not work with Win 7.

    What Miss me?  Should I continue printing under "replace" until all four cartridges run out completely, and then trust that the printer will work without the substitution on the future cartridges? Thanks for your help on this.

    Bkaytee

    Yes, it is possible that drive e-lable contact has malfuncioned.  I would say that your options is as follows:

    A. keep the game of "substitute for" will continue to work and should cause no issue. (It doesn't stop that monitoring of level of supply of Toner, then when degrades the quality of printing, then a new toner must be purchased.)

    B. contact HP support for service possible. 1-800-474-6836 1-800-HP-Invent

    Hello

    Can you tell us what your help program to print these PDF files? Adobe reader for example? The version of the program will help also greatly as well.
    Try this just in case where you use Adobe reader x.
    Open a PDF document. And to the toolbar above, select Edition, then Preferences.
    In the left pane, select 'General '.
    On the right side down, you will see an entry for 'Enable Protected Mode at startup,' with a checkbox next to it. Clear this check box, and then click ok. Try to print now and see if it works.
    If you don't have Adobe reader X, let me know what you have and I'll try to help more.

    I'm afraid this doesn't seem to be something that's going to work. Protected Mode player won't allow printing to a printer that is already installed on the system. Your options are either:

    1. install the printer before launching the player with this command line (perhaps install the printer through the same custom application that try to print the PDF file), GOLD,.

    2 disable the Protected Mode

  • Cannot print PDF files with the user account, can with the other.

    Windows 7, drive 11, when logged in as a user, I can't print PDF.  No errors, no waiting in line, other types of files / print very well.  If I connect with a different domain account, PDF s print very well.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled drive, went out something about player since the users profile/user files.

    It turns out that if I uncheck "enable protected at Startup Mode" in preferences (enhanced protection), it prints, with he verified that it will not print.  I checked it on my desktop and I can print, is not wise, but well, I at least that user back up and printing PDF once again.

  • "Enable protected at Startup Mode" to stop printing on RightFax

    I use a printer to print on RightFax.  It uses a separate print processor to direct the output to the printer on the Client RightFax.  As long as I use RFPrint.dll to print processor, AdobeReader 11.1 will not work with a printer using the custom print processor.  The only way around this is to uncheck "Enable protected at Startup Mode".  Is there a way to tell Adobe reader that this printer or the print processor is allowed to print?

  • HP Laserjet 4 MP: HP Laserjet 4 MP - just switched to Windows 10 - cannot print

    Hi - I used my Laserjet without any problems on Windows 7 but cannot print now that I went to 10 Windows.   The Laserjet 4 MP is listed on the page of the driver for Windows 10 HP, but the directions for upgrading the driver doesn't seem to work or there is something that I'm not enter.

    In "Devices and printers", my printer shows already that it is selected with the green check mark.  When I go to "Add a printer", it does not find the printer, even when you use the option 'my printer's oldest  So I went the next step, try using the IP address. Print my printer Config pages to try to find the ip address/port, but nothing seems to match them.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    I went through all the steps of the Windows Update, found on pilots of widows 10 for Laserjet page mentioned above, but this time, instead of choosing the LPT 1 port, I chose the USB virtual port (I remembered reading on that port for an alternative online), and it worked!  (LPT 1 was probably active before a few years ago, I bought a USB connector for the cable to the printer)

    5. click OK in the Internet Options window.
    6. If you are prompted with a warning! the dialog box informing that the current security settings put your computer at risk, click the OK button.
    7. close Internet Explorer 7 and then open it again to the top.
    8. repeat to visit web sites that caused your problems see if resetting the security settings Internet Explorer 7 on your computer helped.
