Printing pdfs

Documents in pdf form open but the printer says ready to print, but....no
printing begins. I have Acrobat 9 reader installed. What can I do to print
these important documents? Is there another pdf reader available?

Vista Home Premium 32bit
Lexmark X8350 (which prints everything except the commands from pdf)

Should have also asked - would installing Foxit as a reader be advised???

I use Foxit PDF Reader (the free edition). Worth a try:

Nothing wrong with Foxit, but your problem probably stems from how the
document was set up. When you click on the print button, you should get a
dialog box, click advanced at the bottom, then enable the box for 'print as
image'. Apply/ok your way out and it should print as expected.

Not sure why, but sometimes I have pdf print problems if I try to print
using the print menu/button in the host application or browser. I have the
appropriate browser plug ins, but it still is inconsistent. If you see
multiple print possibilities make sure you choose the one in Acrobat. Maybe
you'll get lucky.

When I click on the Advanced button, nothing happens. Help!

I have tried to print from the pdf "Print", the Lexmark "Print", and the
File "Print" - nothing! When I click on the Advanced tab, nothing happens or
the dialog box closes.

Hi,

It's possible your installation of Acrobat is damaged and it should be
reinstalled. It's also possible that there is something interfering with
your print spooler, possibly malware. If other documents print ok, then I
would suspect that there is a problem with the document itself that you are
looking at.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe 9 - no improvement. The document is the
second pdf I couldn't print out. I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer
driver too. Nothing seems to work, as the Advanced tab just closes the
dialog. If it's malware, how would I know? How can I get rid of it? I use
One Care.

Can you tell us how you print? Wireless, USB connection, Bluetooth?
