If you've clicked on this article its safe to say you probably have received an Adobe print error. Before you can resolve the issue, we need to determine the cause. Follow the steps below to determine if the file, program, system or printer has the error.

1. Attempt to print a different PDF file. If the file prints, then it is likely the original document has been corrupted. If you cannot print a specific PDF file, you can try the following solutions:
   1. Print the PDF file as an image by clicking File/Print/Advanced. Select "Print as an image." Click "OK" and then "Print."
   
   
   2. Save the PDF as a new file. If you have a full version of Adobe and not the reader only, save as a new PDF file and then attempt to print.
   
   
   3. Download the file again. Try downloading the PDF file and writing over the first download. Try printing the new file.
   
   
   4. Print the PDF in sections. If the file is large print it in smaller sections. Large files may consume your system or printer memory.
   
   
   5. Print by page to determine if certain pages are causing the problem. Those pages can then be recreated or printed as image files.
   
   


2. Try to print another document type such as a Word file. If the Word file prints, you know your problem is specific to the Adobe program and not a system issue. If found to be an issue with Adobe only, follow the steps above. If not, troubleshoot the printer. The first step you can take is turning the printer off and then on again. Otherwise, access your printer on Windows' "Devices and Printers" section in the Control Panel. Here you can have Windows diagnose the printer and see if there are any overt problems.


3. System resources may be in use or the memory may be full.Turn your computer off and re-boot to clear the memory and resources. It can take up to 15 minutes to completely clear the memory. Reboot your system once and try to print the PDF file. A second reboot after 15 minutes if the first is not successful, will give the memory time to clear completely.


4. Send the PDF print job to another printer. If the problem PDF file prints to another printer, your main printing device may not be functioning correctly. Check the printer power cables, communication cables, ink levels and clear any paper jams. Perform a system test to verify its operation.


5. Reinstall Adobe Reader. When all else fails, recall that Adobe Reader is a free program, easily obtained online at adobe.com. Reinstalling the application may root out the registry error or permission error that's creating a loggerjam on your print queue.

The majority of printing issues associated with Adobe files should be resolved with the assistance of the steps found above. For further troubleshooting options and advanced configuration steps that can be attempted, check the Adobe Product Support Center .
