Adobe Reader Printing Problem

[ShelleBink]

<p>Hey guys... got another problem that I hope you can help me with.<br /><br />I saved a .pdf file from my university website.&nbsp; It reads normally on screen but when I print, instead of words, it prints a series of characters.&nbsp; What can I do to fix this?<br /><br />I already tried to print it as an image, and that yielded a blank page.<br /></p><p>Please help!&nbsp;</p>

That's kinda odd.&nbsp; Does your printer ever have any problems?&nbsp; It could be like a driver or something.&nbsp; You should also open the document and go to file-&gt;document security and see if there is any security on the pdf.&nbsp; If there is security, set it to no security.&nbsp; Also, does any information print correctly, like images or text, or does it all print messed up.

Sounds like you may need the <a href="http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1500" target="_self">Adobe PS drivers</a>.<br />

I would try updating your printer drivers.<br />

<p>Are you using the latest version of Acrobat Reader (7.0.8)?</p><p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/316508.html" target="_self">This link also offers some suggestions from Adobe other than printing as an image.</a></p>

You may want to start by trying to print a different pdf.&nbsp; If it prints, then you know it's the file and not the computer and/or printer.&nbsp;

Thanks for the suggestions everyone; but its still not f'g working... I'll have to figure out something soon.<br />

Bumping this up because I'm still having a major issue where it prints the document as a series of random characters rather than the actual form I need!&nbsp; Help!!!<br />

I know it sounds like a stupid question but have you tried another PDF file? or even to print from another program and see if it prints correctly.&nbsp; One cause could be a bad file.&nbsp; You may see it correctly on the screen, but it may not print out correctly if it is not all there.&nbsp; The other thing is to check your settings to make sure it is printing to the correct printer, and it is set up correctly.<br />
