Hello

1. are you look at a PDF file from the web browser and then try to print from there?

2. did you try to save the PDF file on the hard drive and then try to print from there?

3. were you able to print pdf files before?

4. you remember to make changes to the computer, after which the issue started?

I suggest you to take a look at the following article link and check if it helps:

    I have a printer HP LaserJet CP1525nw color less than a year.  Have always been able to print PDF files. Changed my color toners & now cannot print PDF files.

  • My HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni cannot print .pdf files

    Dear,

    I have a printing problem with my HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni (function USB my iMAC), since I installed the OSX Mavericks.

    Although my printer print word files, cannot print .pdf, even through the software PREVIEW or ACROBAT files.

    It gives the break signal... any solution about that?

    It is very annoying.

    Thanks in advance for your comments or help!

    Hi Kpanag

    I understand that you cannot print the PDF files from the upgrade to Maverick.

    I'll be happy to help you with this.

    I check and repair the authorization to drive on the Mac.
    Go on the hard drive of the Mac, applications, utilities, disk utility, click Mac hardrive left side, click on verify disk permissions, when it is finished click on repair disk permissions.
    (when it's over will show disk repair completed)

    Run the Apple updates also. (the Mac uses probably drivers 10.8)

    Make sure Acrobat is up-to-date.

    If you need more simply make assistance let me know.

  • C7180 - cannot print pdf files. How do I know if I have the latest drivers?

    Unable to print pdf files.  There is no option to print, just as an icon with Adobe info - press something in the advanced options are not an option on this printer.  Magenta ink expired msg continues when even he was replaced.

    Michael!  Something that worked.  I printed a pdf of pg 4!  Here, it is a print option, but he was off the screen, and I noticed I did scroll to the bottom of the page that the printer has been change to fax, send to a single Note, Journal, etc.  I think I've probably hit the? next to the help when I haven't seen print and quit - every time.  Thank you so much, that solved a big problem.

    Someone else had put the partial reset online as a way to solve the problem of outdated cartridge - it did not help this problem, I still "magenta to expiration" - which was replaced.

    Very grateful I can print pdf! Yes.

  • 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?

    Hi all

    Today we released a hotfix that resolves the Mac printing issue that was recently introduced (with May 10 release). If you're not already updated to the latest patch, simply open Acrobat and visit help > check for updates to apply this hotfix.

    More details about this release and bug fixes is available here: help Acrobat | Release notes | DC Acrobat, Acrobat Reader DC | Update

    Please give it a try and let us know.

    Thank you

  • My HP Photosmart C4280 all-in-One printer does not print PDF files. I use Windows 7 SP1.

  • 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?

    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.)

  • My office print 8600 ProPlus will not print pdf files sent from an iPad with ePrint.

    My office print 8600 ProPlus will not print pdf files sent from an iPad with ePrint.  I just get an error message when I go to the HP Eprint centre.  It prints the address email of the coverage, but nothing else.  The attachment is not sure that I can see.  I tried to send an attachment from my Mac and worked well.

    Thank you for your response and I am sorry for the delay to return to you.  I tried save the Pages document in a Word document and send it to the printer using ePrint but it is even.  That is to say the handout printed but not the attachment.  However, when we removed the accompanying document and sent the attachment in its own it has worked well for we have managed to solve the problem. Thank you very much.

    I have two files: a jpeg and a single pdf, card, size A4.  They look identical when displayed on the screen, but when I print, the jpeg format is perfect and the pdf smear through it. This is a new printer and I had no such problem on my previous HP Photosmart 6510. Any ideas?

    Hello @pamhans, greetings!

    Welcome to the HP Forum! It is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get help and advice.

    I understand that you are having problems when printing an image in PDF format. I would like to help with that.

    First of all, I would like to know the app that you use to open / print PDF files. You use "Adobe reader" or another application?

    If you do not use the Adobe reader software, please install Adobe reader, and then try to print the pdf image.

    If you already use Adobe reader software, follow the steps below:

    1. try the option "Print as image":

    • Choose file > print and then click Advanced.
    • Select print as Image.
    • Click OK to close the Advanced Print Setup dialog box, and then click OK to print.

    2. install the last update:

    • Open Acrobat or Reader.
    • Choose Help > check for updates. If a new update is available, it installs automatically.
    • Once installed, restart your computer.
    • Print the PDF again.
