Windows 8 won't print PDF files
I've never had this problem until today. I can't print documents Word and images, but when I try to print the PDF files from my documents or online it will not print. I click on the printer that I always use and click 'print '. But nothing happens. Help!
Moved from Vista programs Forum.
Hi Harley,
Please contact Microsoft Community.
I understand that you are not able to print one of your word documents, PDF or images. This problem with printing can occur if you do not have the respective printer drivers installed on the computer. To help you, I would ask you to answer the following questions.
- What is the brand and model of your computer and the printer?
- You did changes to the computer before the show?
- What happens when you print from Notepad and WordPad or Internet explorer?
In the meantime, I suggest you follow the methods and check if these methods help you resolve the issue.
Method 1:
I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.
Set or change your default printer

My iP8720 does not print PDF files. It doesn't matter if the file has been created in Acrobat 8 Pro, Word, WordPerfect. It does not matter if the PDF contains images or text. It print files of Word and WordPerfect, as well as Photoshop, etc. PDF files seems to be the only problem. I use Windows 7 Ultimate. Any help woud be appreciated.
Make sure that the correct driver for this printer is installed. Sometimes during installation, either disk or online, the incorrect printer driver has been charged, and that's why it wouldn't print PDFS.

Reference Dell v305 won't print pdf files

needittowork,
Internet Explorer 11, is usually on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 have problems with Dell of the V-series printers, but you do not have the operating systems mentioned above.
Since print Word documents, then I could consider other options. I consider uninstalling your pdf program, restart the computer, and then reinstall and see if you can then print the pdf files. Make sure that when you print first, click on file, print, make sure that the appropriate printer is selected. I've seen some lack of programs to other options in the list.

HP Deskjet 2540 won't print pdf file
Hello
I have a HP Deskjet 2540 printer which was working fine until today when I tried to print a PDF on the net. I get a screen saying it is flattening, and then the printer makes a noise as if it will work and then nothing. When I check the device, he says that nothing is waiting to print. When I tried to print it directly from the internet (using Chrome) it just print plain paper! When I saved the document to PDF and tried to print, nothing like as detailed above. I am using Winows 7.

PDF print printer. Changed my color toners & now cannot print PDF files.
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. When I use the print icon, I have an option "save under" file. Makes no difference if I save file or not, it doesn't print not (or place in the queue of the printer). If I try to print the saved file, it does still not print. I have not changed (knowingly) all my printer options. H E L P!

My new printer 4500 HPEnvy works very well and I'm really happy with it, except that I can't print pdf files.
I am running Windows Vista and you have Adobe 11 to have run a repair on Adobe to see if it helps not joy.

It seems also feeze my entire computer - none of the informants respond well while the document is in the queue. There is no error message. I have no problems with my Photosmart C5180 feel old out of the same material from the same computer (now thrown)
Please, please can someone help because these are important documents that I need to print.
Thank you
OK, so I managed to fix it myself! The problem seems to be with Adobe Reader. I had upgraded from V9 to the latest version and it seems to be a lot of problems with the thel atest version. I tried downgrading to the V10, but again, the problem occurred (even disable enhanced security mode as suggested by Adobe). Sine V9 is no longer available for download, that I found myself stuck in a vicious circle. In the end, I renounced Adobe altogether and been completely uninstalled. I just download Nitro pdf (free) and everything works as it should. Finally able to print pdf documents!

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

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.)

When I click on print, a progress bar is displayed and 'progressing' through 5 pages of a pdf file. The printer starts to get a restless and I get a beep of the printer that it's done. But nothing came out of the printer! A few seconds later, a blank piece of paper is slowly ejected from the printer.
NOTE: The printer is able to print pdf files - No. Help!
